    Do you have a room that could really use a refresh? Possibly all it would take is a good decluttering and a coat of fresh paint? Or maybe it needs some new lighting, a piece of art on the wall, or curtains? Whatever it is, it's driving you crazy and you know it wouldn't take THAT long to turn it from dull to delightful!
     
    US TOO!
     
    Join us for the month of October as we each choose a room in our homes that needs some TLC. We will break down tasks of refreshing that one room into baby-sized steps that we can accomplish in 15-30 minutes per day. As the seasons change and we spend more time indoors, we intend to dig into making our homes more beautiful and peaceful, one task and one room at a time!
     
    How can you jump into our One Room Challenge/October?
    • Download our list (link) of the baby steps you'll take to turn that one room from dull to delightful!
    • Jump into our communities on Instagram and/or Facebook and use the hashtag #oneroomOctober.
    • Be ready to post "Before" photos and share your plan with us on October 1st! We'll be doing the same.

    Our Most Important 15 Minutes to Better Self Care

    Our Most Important 15 Minutes to Better Self Care
    Bethie and I freely admit that we suck at self care. We do! Through the years, however, we've learned that there's a crucial 15 minute daily habit that propels us to dramatically better self care.
     
    It's something that's extremely simple; anybody can do it; and it leads to stronger and more vibrant health! What more could you ask for, at least in that area that so many moms (including us) need improvement with: self-care?
     
    Join us inside this episode to find out what this crucial, super-simple 15 minute habit is. Also learn why it's so important to work on getting better at self care, especially for those of us (cough) who are getting older.

    Our third top-secret topic: revealed!!

    Our third top-secret topic: revealed!!
    In this episode, we reveal our third top-secret topic that we are diving into for the next few months.
     
    This is an issue that we both have a love/hate relationship with. It's something we wake up to face every morning, and go to bed with every night. It's something that we'll be working on, probably, every day for the rest of our lives. We're determined to figure out how to do it efficiently, and do it . . . can we use the word "brilliantly"?? YES. We can, and we shall! (May we reach for the stars in this area? Why the heck not??)
     
    Tune in to this week's episode of The Clever Housewife to find out what this fascinating topic of conversation is!

    Do we stink at self-care?

    Do we stink at self-care?
    Frankly, we do. We stink at self care. We own it today, and we wonder aloud how we can work so hard to take care of our families and fail so miserably in caring for our own selves in this episode of Clever Housewives.
     
    It's not so clever, after all, to work so hard at caring for your family, home, and business that you collapse in an exhausted, quivering heap at the end of each day! There's got to be a better way.
     
    We discuss how we might do a better job of caring for our own selves, and what might be behind our self-care denial.
