Episode 009: How I'm raising kids who help around the house

Podcast Ep 009 website image.png

I decided a long time ago (well, when I started having kids, really) that I wouldn’t be the only one in the house cleaning, doing laundry to tidying up. I wanted to create a community in our home, one where everyone does there part based on what they are capable of. This is exactly what we’ve done and with an 11 and 5 year old, I am able to step back and let them help.

Not only does creating cleaning routines and chores for your children take the load off of the parents, it’s a learning experience for them as well. I’m a big believer in creating responsible little humans who understand that their messes are their responsibility, and that when we all work together, things get done faster. It isn’t always easy, but I’m going to share some of my best tips for raising kids who help around the house (without you having to nag nag nag)

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

  • Why I am so adamant that my children grow up with cleaning routines.

  • Why we choose routines over chore charts

  • Why I don’t stress about how many “chores” each child has

  • How I have been able to teach them rather that tell them

  • Why helping around the house is a non-negotiable for everyone

  • My thoughts on chores as a consequence (hint: I don’t believe they should be)

Episode 008: When you're not the mom who makes cute Valentine's crafts

Podcast Ep 008 website image.png

We can't all be the moms that take the time to make intricate Valentine's crafts, or decorate our house to the nines for St Patrick's Day. But for those that do spend the time focusing on those tasks, we salute you. This episode is all about embracing the kind of mom you are, and forgetting the overpowering obligation to be all things to all people. 

I am passionate about this subject and brought this episode to you as a way to remind you that you are allowed to be the kind of mom you want to be without the pressures from social media, society, your family or even yourself.

WHAT YOU'LL HEAR TODAY:

  • What I have discovered about myself and why I am not the mom who enjoys crafts.
  • The importance of embracing the kind of mom you are and celebrating it.
  • How we can stop the cycle of "mom shaming" by releasing the need to be everything and enjoying the differences in one another.
