After talking about fitting in "real" life last week, I am talking this week about fitting cleaning and decluttering in around all that life I want to live. I'm also answering questions about last week's podcast from people over on Instagram. You should totally follow me there. Sponsors: For a free two week trial of …

Ideal Cleaning Vs Actual Cleaning
"We want this to happen organically." Organically is a word of this millennium. I know it existed pre-2000, but its meaning has enhanced over the past 20 years. Without actually looking up its definition, I think that when used in reference to food, it's supposed to mean the food has been grown without unnatural help. Without being …

187: How I Do (Or Don’t) Do “It All” Podcast
This one is longer than usual. Feel free to listen at double speed! I'm answering a listener question about "how I do it all" and I've already thought of things I didn't talk about that I should have! The short answer is that I most don't definitely don't do it all, but the very long answer is what exactly I do and don't do and how I decide what …
I Don’t Think That Means What You Think It Means (Anymore)

A Foster Mom Gains Control Over Her Home

I love hearing about the power and impact of these four simple habits. If you're overwhelmed and have no idea where to start, start with the habits. …
185: NOT Ready for Baby with Emily Thomas
If you have kids, did you gather (and gather and then gather some more) stuff to be ready for their arrival? Me too! If you don't have kids, have you gathered stuff for some future event, just so you will be totally and completely and perfectly ready when it happens? Most of us around here have done the gathering thing. A lot. I asked …
Always and Never
My mother once told me (once that I remember) to stop saying always and never. Evidently, I said those words often. And incorrectly. I’m sure she made this suggestion after I told an overly dramatic story that didn’t actually meet the qualifications of always and never. Since very few things meet those qualifications. I’m 44 now, and …
