    About this Episode

    In this episode you’ll learn about the awesome place to be AFTER you’ve decluttered, and that’s the realm of organizing.  Beware! The answer isn’t always that 1 cool tool or organizing system you see on social media and Pinterest.  Before adding to your cart, listen to this episode where you’ll learn:

    • What to do after any decluttering project, regardless how big or small
    • The rule and habit to have so you don’t go back to how it was before, and finally
    • The thought process I use when organizing any space

    Enjoy!

    #53 Parenting Challenges Solved: An Insight into the SNAP Program's Success - with Ron Swan and Debbie St-Martin

    In this episode, Dianne discusses with guest speakers Ron Swan and Debbie St-Martin from Centre Famille, Home to the SNAP Program, about overcoming parenting challenges, managing the behavior of children, effectively communicating within a family, and establishing organization and structure at home.

    They explore the importance of empathy and understanding in parenting and the significance of teaching kids essential life skills. Featuring real-world examples and results from their SNAP Program, they emphasize the power of positive reinforcement, the need for consistency in parenting styles, and the indispensability of creative thinking.

    Further, they examine how different parenting styles can work together for the benefit of children and touch upon maintaining a united front in front of children, compartmentalizing different aspects of life, and the value of prioritizing what matters most in family life.

    #52: Help Is On The Way! Or Is It? A Parent's Guide To Organization

    The episode covers topics like being on autopilot, doing too much all the time, and having a lot of unfinished projects. I also emphasize the importance of slowing down, delegating tasks, and specific instructions for family members. The episode concludes with a call to action to download a cheat sheet on getting kids to help and tidy up at home.

    In this episode, I talk about enjoying the holiday season in a unique and fun way, focusing on activities we don't usually do.  I share a list of five fun activities that don’t always involve the kids. 

    The episode also touches on finding balance in busy schedules and remembering to appreciate the small joys amidst the chaos of the holiday season.

    Hope you get some inspiration into creating your own unique activities. Or grab 1 or 2 ideas from this list to start the holidays on the right track.

    #48: Coping through Chaos: 3 Strategies for Finding Peace Amidst Holidays, Strikes, and Sickness

    #48: Coping through Chaos: 3 Strategies for Finding Peace Amidst Holidays, Strikes, and Sickness

    Today, we're delving into the challenges that resonate with every parent in the trenches – the holiday hustle, strikes, and the constant threat of illness.

    🌟 Exploring Current Challenges with Compassion

    Beyond the decorations and festivities, we're acknowledging the stress many of us are struggling with. From navigating the complexities of holidays to the weight of dealing with strikes and sickness, it's a chaotic time for us all. 

    🤒 Navigating Health Struggles with Shared Stories

    In this episode, I share my own recent experience with having the flu and the ongoing struggle to recover. Through these stories, I aim to foster a sense of understanding and solidarity as we collectively face the daunting challenges of illnesses, flu, and the looming presence of COVID.

    ⚠️ Strikes, Work, and the Overwhelming Reality

    As strikes disrupt the familiar routines, parents working (from home) find themselves in an even more challenging balancing act. The chaos at home and the interruptions at work are all too familiar. We're here to acknowledge the difficulties and provide a virtual shoulder to lean on.

     🛠️ Empathetic Coping Strategies for Parental Survival

    In the face of chaos, I share three practical coping strategies – creating personal space, tapping into creativity, and reconnecting with your support system. My aim is to provide a supportive environment and practical tips for alleviating stress and overwhelm.

    Enjoy the episode!

    #45: Chores and Kids - Interview with Kai

    Listen to the third and final episode of a series where I interview my kids.  Hear their perspective and thoughts when it comes to their involvement in maintaining the house, find out when they're more resistant to doing chores, what this all means for them in the future, and so much more!

    In this episode, it's my oldest kid's turn on the mic.  Find out the differences and similarities between his take on chores vs his siblings, being the oldest child and what he'd do if he were the parent. Also, find out what it's like at our home from following a chore chart to whether getting paid to do chores is preferred or not.  Also, learn to start practicing positive parenting by listening to your children and having conversations with them about chores. Who knows what you'll discover from these talks. You just might learn a thing, or two, about them as well as yourself! 

    Hope you enjoy this episode.
