My husband and I recently spoke and exhibited at a homeschool convention 6 hours from home. We brought all 8 of our children with us for three-day event. I spent the first part of the week preparing for the trip, forgetting how significantly a nursing newborn can cut into one’s productivity. (Not to mention one’s…

“To Love, Honor, and…Obey?”

Getting to the Heart of Clutter
Some time ago, I asked a question to our Facebook group: “What’s your biggest challenge in home management?” I half-expected to hear concerns about frugality and menu planning/cooking.
