At the beginning of each year, Google and Pinterest light up my archives with searches for housekeeping schedules and menu planning. One of these days, I'll make an easy, downloadable e-book out of these, but until then I thought I'd give a short list that might help you get the year started right.
Need help with daily clutter and overwhelm? This is for you:
The Secret to Successful Home Management
What Does Minimum Maintenance Really Look Like?
Need a Super Awesome and Easy Housekeeping Chart? Three steps:

Need help with menu planning? Mine is so easy, it's almost cheating.

There are several downloads you can print off in the posts above.....why not take a pencil and mark them up with your own ideas and tasks? Sometimes, just seeing what you are ALREADY accomplishing each day makes you realize how hard you really ARE working.
And listen. If you're struggling, you aren't alone. You are not a failure. You are not a loser-mom. Don't listen to that voice in your head that makes you believe you'll never be good at this "home thing." Today you are taking a small but significant stand to improve your life and help you find the joy you've lost along the way. Big things happen in small ways every day....and this step is one of those that will change the course of your life forever.
Have you ever made a simple housekeeping schedule? How could you incorporate Minimum Maintenance into your daily habits? I hope you'll share your success stories - and areas you struggle with!
We are in this together!
