We see it all the time on TV: Family leaves their messy house for a week and then returns to find everything orderly and beautiful.
But really, how long is that going to last?
In this episode, April and Saren talk you through how you can transform your OWN home–and help your whole family KEEP it that way.
And here’s a beautiful example of how one mom used the principles taught in this episode to do her own home transformation (thanks for the photos, Stephanie!):
- It’s Here . . . Somewhere (book summary April referenced)
- Getting Rid of Clutter (3 Must-Have Skills) (podcast about the above book)
- Clutter Buster Kit
- Sign up for free webinar: How to Make Huge Projects Feel Easy
- Deliberate Motherhood (book by Power of Moms with chapter by Saren on organizing principles she outlines in podcast)
- Postitive Parenting Solutions (great program by our friend Amy McCready that we talk about in the podcast)
- I’m Not Sorry (excellent post about how we don’t have to keep apologizing when our homes don’t look perfect)

Here’s a great Jerry Seinfeld stand-up about garbage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfYzlSNHapA
That clip was HILARIOUS!! So funny. I could relate. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it!
Loved this podcast! And one of my favorite tips for home transformation comes from the amazing book, Zero Waste Home, but that is to limit what you bring in. I have been thinking about this a lot lately as we look to downsize to a smaller home this summer. One of the things we are focusing more on is experiences for birthdays (like a class, horseback riding, a trip to the theater) instead of toys and more “stuff.” I also try to keep our clothes to a minimum, how many shirts/pants/socks/shoes do we each really need? Not only does it help keep the clutter down but it keeps the laundry down too!
I love these ideas. I do have one area I struggle with and would love some feedback. My youngest kid is almost 4 and we still have baby toys in the house. We have tried to pack them away but the kids get upset and say they need the toys to play “baby” a game they do play. The result, we have too many toys in the house (too much clutter.) How do you get the kids to understand and accept that the toys need to go somewhere else? (other kids, Goodwill, etc.) Thanks for any thoughts.
