After almost 19 years of mom-ing (y’all our oldest is graduating next month!) I’ve learned a few things about keeping a sane house while raising kids (3 boys in my case).

Over the years I’ve found all sorts of information about the top ten ways to store legos.

But I couldn’t find the top ten lists on how to be a sane, fun mom with a livable, usually presentable, always nice to be in-home–one that serves both the parents and the kids–where I don’t have to be a drill sergeant armed with check off lists who does laundry at the same time every Thursday.

So I made one.

It’s called Cozy Minimalist Mom.

It’s like the cute sister of my decorating course called Cozy Minimalist– but this, the kid-clutter edition, is all about keeping house as a MOM–so I called it Cozy Minimalist MOM.

I created 10 videos all about realistic organizing, how I keep my own mindset in check, and applicable tips that you can implement right now.  It’s not a decorating course–but if you are into decorating, you’ll appreciate it because of course, I’m assuming that you’d like to have a home you enjoy looking at and spending time in as you raise your children.

If I’m going to talk about how to keep a sane, home that we find beautiful in the midst of raising kids, then we are going to talk big picture first. The truth is, most of us don’t need better organizing ideas. Most of us just need to pay attention to what we have and how we are living in our homes and how that’s affecting us.

Can I get an Amen?

No matter the size of your house, if you are feeling like something is off and the guilt seeps in because the world is telling you that you just need to be a better organizer, you need to remember there is another way.

That way is seeing both the gift of less, and the gift of a purposeful, temporary mess.

Cozy Minimalists have learned the beauty less. Cozy Minimalist Moms embrace the freedom of less.

It’s not about getting rid of a bunch of stuff. It’s about changing your mind-set, paying attention and then, prioritizing the right stuff.

 

 

In the course, I talk you through my top ten mindset tips (in the graphic above) and then I sit down with my friend Julie and we have some real life conversations…

cozy minimalist mom course

…we talk about how, where and if we need to be collecting art supplies for craft time and I share in detail the stress-free party planning method we’ve been using for the past ten years that is hands down one of the smartest parenting moves Chad and I have ever stumbled onto…

cozy course

Inside the course, each one of those graphics above is clickable and leads you to a video conversation where real moms (me & Julie!) are sharing real solutions, real grace and real encouragement! You’ll have unlimited access to all the videos and course information–watch them as often as you like, at your own pace, once you are in, you have lifetime access.

This course is only open for a limited time, and if you are ready to get your home decorated, you can bundle it with it’s sister course, the original Cozy Minimalist Course–a decorating course. Check out both courses here.
