What if your home could (largely) run without you?

What if your children (both younger and older) knew how to pick up after themselves (and were part of the team that picked up after the family as a whole)?

What if the necessary tasks of running a household were completed quicker and there was more time for FUN for everyone in the family?

Regardless of how you feel about chores, there is an abundance of research out there proving they CAN be a positive thing (think LESS Cinderella and MORE Cheaper by the Dozen)…

There are a MILLION ways to implement a chore system, but it IS a system, which means Brittany has one and she's been improving it every month for a LONG time.

We're so happy to have our fellow momma of many and delightfully inquisitive friend Renee Amato with us to answer some common questions about setting up and running a chore system.

Our guest today is all about elevating daily life with liturgical living practices in small manageable bites...and for our mommas of many...small and manageable is music to our ears!

She's a beautiful Catholic wife, educator, theologian, event planner, and trained ballet dancer. She specializes in the study and application of liturgical living, culture, tradition, & festivity.

After growing up in a family full of seasonal experiences, she married into a big Catholic family that was overflowing with liturgical tradition and fell in love with sharing it with others.

If the liturgy is for everyone, then a liturgical life is too.

So this begs the question...what ARE liturgical living practices? What does it look like to live a liturgical life?!

We have the absolute blessing of chatting with a Catholic Homeschooling and Certified life coach (who ALSO has an excellent podcast named Happy, Holy Mama).

She's got 7 stellar kids (all homeschooled), she's a wife of 17 years, AND she's devoted her life to helping Catholic families fall in love with God through their relationships and homeschooling lifestyle.

Are you intentional about how you run your home?  Or…do things just happen and ONLY when YOU do them?!

Would you like things to run a bit smoother?

Do you need help?  A village?  A little community?

Our next guest is back by popular demand, and she's got some ideas about ALL those things (and we think you'll like them!) 

This isn't just some *expert* who's here to tell you what to do (we have a pretty strict policy against that around here)…

She's a homeschooling mom of 6 and her family owns a dairy farm in southern Alberta.

She's deeply connected with the unique struggles of life in regards to motherhood and has built a business by helping women create harmony, order, and cooperation within their home and family so they have energy and the mental fortitude to do all the things that God has asked of them (and the wisdom to discern what God is actually asking of them!)
