| 084 \\ 3 Ways to Declutter Your Kids Toys | The LAST One is the Hardest but It’s My Favorite | 15 Dec 2022 | 00:19:37 | |
If you are a mom, more than likely your kids have toys and it’s so easy for kids toys to accumulate and get out of control. When toys become cluttered, that means they are no longer played with or given attention, it's good to take some time to declutter. This is a good practice to get into especially around holidays and birthdays when kids are receiving gifts and new toys. You've probably experienced how clutter in other parts of your home can make you feel very overwhelmed and weighed down. Did you know that kids can feel that too with their own possessions? Just like you they may lack the skills to declutter and let go of what they no longer need. As parents, it's a great idea to teach our kids the process of decluttering. It's okay if you don't have these skills yourself. I'm here to teach you and walk you through learning how to declutter your stuff, simply your home and create habits to keep it that way. In this podcast episode, I'm going over three ways to approach decluttering your kids' toys and when you might want to use each approach. Stay tuned in until the end because I share my favorite way of decluttering kids' toys. It's probably something you wouldn't expect. COACHING Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation | |||

| 075 \\ How Minimalism Increases Your Productivity in Your Home and Business with Camie Wilkie | 28 Sep 2022 | 00:47:18 | |
When you hear the word minimalism what comes to your mind? Do you think of a bare house without any decor or character? Do you think strict rules of not being able to buy or own anything? Or do you think of giving away all your possessions to live in a tiny home? Well, let me tell you that minimalism isn’t any of that. I mean yes it can look like that for some people but the majority of people who choose a minimalist lifestyle do so for this one main reason - to live in a way that is not too overwhelming or beyond their capacity. Most of us do not live minimally. And it’s not just with the number of things we own. We take on too many projects, say yes to too many invites, and cave to too much marketing. The fact of the matter is that we let our lives control us instead of us controlling our lives. In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my friend Camie Wilke as she shares her journey with minimalism as a work-from-home businesswoman who has plans to grow her family through adoption. She shares what led to her decision to become a minimalist and how she was able to get her sentimental husband on board. She also shares her dreams of continuing her minimal lifestyle when she becomes a mom. I hope our conversation inspires you to explore the idea of minimalism a little further. Now before we dive into our conversation, I want to know how your daily resets are going. Are you finding the mindset of simple daily resets to be helpful in managing the mess in your home?

| 072 \\ I Gave Up Procrastinating for One Year - 5 Things I’ve Gained From Not Procrastinating | 01 Sep 2022 | 00:24:28 | |
My life is different now that I don't procrastinate. Today marks the one-year anniversary of my podcast, The Habits and Home Show, and also signifies the day I decided to stop being a procrastinator. On the very first episode of the podcast on September 1, 2021, I shared my personal struggle with procrastination and how I had felt led to start the podcast months earlier but I kept putting it off. I shared that perfectionism and a fear of failure had been holding me back from launching the podcast but that I was done with my overthinking and worrying about doing it "wrong" so I forced myself to JUST. LAUNCH. THE. PODCAST. That declaration and overcoming the need for perfection was a turning point for me. I no longer identified as a procrastinator and my actions this past year have solidified that belief about myself. Anytime there was an opportunity to put a task off, my inner belief about myself wouldn't let me. It kind of felt off. Like I was going against the very nature of my being. Anytime I thought about putting a task off until later, I found anxiety starting to creep in and I refused to let myself get into that state again because I just wasn't a place that I was able to thrive and be my best self. That "off feeling" became the trigger for me to take action and because of me developing that constant action taking habit this past year, I have reaped many rewards and today I'm sharing 5 simple but powerful five things I've gained from giving up the habit of procrastination this past year.

Now, of course, bad habits don't go away so quickly. That's where online coaching with me became a tremendous benefit.

A couple months ago I shared a podcast episode on How to Overcome Travel Exhaustion and Stress and bounce back quicker to be a productive mom after taking a trip.
What I love about what I shared is that it provided a great pre-travel checklist and it's what I refer back to anytime I'm about to travel. Things such as making sure the kitchen is stocked with food for when we return and hiring a housecleaner to come clean while we're away. Click HERE to listen to or read all the tips on preparing for a trip.
Today, I wanted to touch on the same topic of traveling and how to avoid travel burnout and exhaustion by answering the question, "Is it okay to stop my habits and routines while on vacation?"
We're actually vacationing this week in Destin, Florida on our annual Lizotte family vacation trip with Jered's family and I thought I could give you first hand feedback on my experience with sticking with my habits and routines instead of completely throwing them out the window and taking a break for the week.

| 063 \\ Lose Weight Through Simple Time-Saving Habits in the Messy Middle of Motherhood with Kristen Noriega | 29 Jun 2022 | 00:29:24 | |
Do you find yourself caught up in the rat race of taking care of everyone else and putting yourself last by neglecting your own self-care?
You may even feel burn out and worn down from giving 100% of yourself to others, your family, your work and even the upkeep of your home, that you feel you have nothing left to give yourself. You strive to eat healthy but you find yourself running through the drive thru to satisfy your craving for salty French fries. You may be the mom who needs four cups of coffee to get through the day but I bet you’re not drinking it black. Nope it’s loaded with all the sweet stuff. Or you may be like me when I had toddlers calling my mother-in-law in the middle of the day from something stronger - a coka cola. HAHA!
I know what it’s like to not prioritize my health but so desperately want to look better in a bathing suit. And my guest on the show today does too.
She is a registered dietitian, nutritionist and weight loss coach who knows first hand what it’s like to juggle all the mom responsibilities and desire to feel good in her skin. She’s also a fellow podcaster at The Baby Weight Nutritionist podcast where she coaches women to lose weight and feel comfortable in their own body even while having little to no time.
Today we’re getting her advice on how to prioritize our health as busy moms to lose weight and feel better both mentally and physically.
With love and straight truth, Lisa

Learning homesteading skills has this tendency to bring family members closer together Children are naturally drawn to working in dirt and caring for small farm animals. Some adults also have the desire to get back to their roots - growing food in gardens, canning the extra for later and baking breads at home instead of always running to the store. Courtney Albertson's family just finished their first year of homeschooling, and she too wants to start learning basic homesteading skills. To her, homeschooling and homesteading seem to go hand in hand and those skills are what she really wants her sons to learn.

When I have the opportunity to sit down and talk with other homeschooling moms, their stories of how they came to homeschooling is always very similar. It usually starts with, "I said I would never homeschool," which always makes me chuckle because I once said the same thing. Just like schooling outside of the home, homeschooling comes with its own set of challenges in managing the home and keeping your sanity with systems and routines. On the show today, Courtney Albertson, a work-from-home, military mom, is sharing about her first year homeschooling. She tells us what led her to choose to homeschool and how she's had to work through mental barriers to unlearn the traditional school structure to make homeschooling fit her family's needs. She also shares how she balances doing everything on her own while her husband is deployed and how she gets him involved when he's not. Stick around for part two of this conversation as I give her some home management coaching specific to her needs. COACHING Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation | |||

Have you ever noticed that restaurants and public businesses typically clean their bathrooms every evening? We would be disgusted if we walked into a public restroom if it wasn't cleaned at LEAST once a day. But how often are the bathrooms in our home getting cleaned? Ekkk...

| 056 \\ No Fluff Friday - Do Your Kids Give You Attitude When You Ask for Their Help? Try This Alternative Approach That Let’s You Have More Fun with Your Kids | 06 May 2022 | 00:09:44 | |
You're tired of your kids not helping around the house and when you do ask them to help you are met with attitude and under-breath comments.

To my surprise my son responded to my request with a positive attitude. He was pleasant and the task was finished quickly and thoroughly without me having to raise my voice or resort to any kind of shaming. Tune in for today's podcast as I share with you what I did. It's truly the smallest change but I've noticed it making the most dramatic difference. Let's test this kind of parenting out on our kids for a couple of weeks and see what happens.

| 055 \\ In Case of Emergency - 3 Steps to Be Prepared Ahead of Time for When Sickness Strikes in Your Home | 05 May 2022 | 00:25:44 | |
Hey friend! Let me ask you something that you're probably not thinking about and you probably won't ever think about until you're in the thick of the moment. Do you have a backup plan for when sickness strikes in your home? I found myself answering this question last week with a big fat no as my response. Jered and I were sick as dogs last week. Unable to even get off the couch for a couple of days. Thankfully our kids are 9, 11, and 13 and are able to take care of themselves fairly well but through our sickness, I discovered that we could brush up on some habit training for our kids and that it would be extremely beneficial to have a plan established for when sickness strikes again. I mean it's rare that both parents are sick at the same time but it would make it so much easier to think through these things ahead of time so it easier for everyone regardless of who is sick or well. Sickness just throws off all rhythms and routines in the home so having a plan is going to help keep the home more in order and help everyone bounce back quicker. On today's show, I'm sharing with you three steps I'm taking to prepare us ahead of time for sickness. I encourage you to take some notes and join me in getting this system nailed down in your home as well. COACHING Schedule a 15-Minute Consultation | |||

It's another Client Check-In episode! Today I'm following up with Cathy Bush after I helped her declutter her home office and laundry room this year on New Year's Day. She gets real and honest with us telling us how she felt during the decluttering process, how she's doing managing her new decluttered and organized space, and what her plans are for more decluttering projects. Staying clutter-free isn't easy but the more we remove what requires our personal management the better we're able to keep up with the day-to-day tidiness.

| 052 \\ How Social Media Made Me Less Social and 5 Things I’m Doing to Protect Myself from Social Media Addiction | 16 Apr 2022 | 00:25:42 | |
I've been blogging on social media for the past 9-10 years and recently I noticed social media was the root of causing me to become less social. I found myself excluding myself from in-person friendships and depending on social media more to fill that need in my life. You see, I was a lonely stay-at-home for years until I discovered I could connect with other moms and friends who were going through the same stage of life. Sure, the connections were kind of shallow and I couldn't depend on those friends to pick me up if my car broke down anywhere, but it provided the much-needed socialization I was missing. Unfortunately, too much of a good thing soon becomes no longer a good thing and I realized how isolated I was becoming especially since the pandemic. The majority of my in-person friends stopped getting together and a lot of us found refuge in social media for human connection. But when the world went back to "somewhat normal," I had created a habit of only connecting with friends online and my in-person relationships were basically non-existent. That's when I felt God tug my heart to lay social media down for a season. And it's been so good for my soul. In today's episode, I'm getting very vulnerable and sharing with you how social media made me less social. Warning, there are some tears but I also give you some straight-up inspiration to lay down the social media beast as well. Do it friends! It's life-giving and I'm here for you if you need support.

In today's episode, I'm sharing with you four reasons it's difficult for you to find things in your home. I'm laying out possible reasons and giving you do-it-right-now action steps to take to optimize your environment and your habits.
