Creating Effective Homemaking Routines: A Simplified Approach

In this episode of the Simplified Organization podcast, Mystie Winckle discusses the importance of homemaking routines and how to create cheerful and God-honoring family life. Joined by Stefani Mons, a homeschooling mom from Texas and the community manager at Convivial Circle, she explores the evolution of their own routines, highlighting the shift from no routine to implementing effective daily tidying practices, known as eHAP, and the Sweep and Smile program. 

They delve into the transformative power of morning and evening routines in making homemaking manageable and joyful rather than overwhelming. The conversation aims to inspire listeners to personalize their cleaning schedules according to their family's needs, addressing perfectionism and the pitfalls of unrealistic standards.
