Episode 17 - Routines that will Simplify Your Everyday Mom Life

Before I became a mom, I would have told you routines were silly and unnecessary. Then, as my life began to spiral out of control and I discovered my daughter thrived on a daily routine, I decided to find what worked best for our family, no matter what.


After polling my readers, you all said that keeping up with the basics was what you needed help with most…and when I look back on what made me finally feel like I had control over my life again, it was these 5 routines that made the difference.


By implementing these routines you will be able to not only simplify your everyday mom life, but maybe, just maybe, be able to enjoy it more too.


And if you want to dive deeper into these routines and learn how to put some of your biggest tasks on autopilot so not only will you no longer fall behind, but things will get done without disrupting your day, I invite you to join the waitlist for my newest workshop - Automate: Put Your Routines on Autopilot. It’s a game changer for those of us who feel overwhelmed, constantly behind, and exhausted by the end of the day. I don't want that to be you anymore so come over to WannabeClutterFree.com/automate and get on the waitlist.
