Parenting a teen means constant shifts — and remin

Parenting a teen means constant shifts — and reminding myself that her chaos isn’t a reflection of my failure.⁠
⁠
👉 Try this: The next time your teen shuts down, don’t react right away. Take a breath. Ask later, “How can I support you right now?” It’s opened doors for us I didn’t expect.⁠

The Art of Setting a Table⁠ ⁠ This is a tradition

The Art of Setting a Table⁠
⁠
This is a tradition that my grandmother taught me, and it has carried through all my life. I am teaching and reminding my teen daughter all the time. :-)⁠
⁠
Now with the holidays upon us, this is the perfect time to teach these tips to kids and teens! Knowing the basics of table setting is a life skill that will set you above the rest!⁠

With a teen girl at home things can escalate quickly! I found that a good beer and a great jigsaw puzzle can be very calming. I think this might be my new thing for anxiety. Ahhhhh…..

Clearing my closet taught me that clutter isn’t just stuff — it’s decisions we’ve been avoiding. I started with one shelf at a time and it felt lighter instantly.⁠
⁠
👉 Try this: Choose one drawer or section this week. Keep only what you love, wear, or use. The space you create will clear your head, too.⁠

If you only have 10 minutes… you can still make yo

If you only have 10 minutes… you can still make your home feel calmer.⁠
Here’s the 10-Minute Tidy I use almost every day:⁠
⁠
⏱ Set a timer — seriously, it helps⁠
🚪 Start in the space you see first ⁠
🗂 Only return items to their “home” — don’t deep clean⁠
🧺 End with one “feel good finishing touch” (fold blanket, wipe counter, light candle)⁠
⁠
That’s it. 10 minutes.⁠
And your whole energy shifts.⁠
⁠
You don’t need a full clean-out.⁠
You just need a quick reset that makes your home work for you again.⁠
⁠
⁠
Done is better than perfect — and 10 minutes is better than none.⁠

Some mornings I wake up already overwhelmed. When

Some mornings I wake up already overwhelmed. When that happens, I try to take 5 quiet minutes — no phone, just coffee, deep breaths, and my planner. That small moment of calm changes everything.⁠
⁠
👉 Try this: Set a 5-minute “calm alarm” before your day starts. Use that time to breathe, stretch, or write one thing you’re grateful for. This is a practical micro-habit to help reduce stress.⁠

If Sundays feel overwhelming instead of peaceful…

If Sundays feel overwhelming instead of peaceful… try this.⁠
Here are the 3 things I do every Sunday to reset my week before it begins:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Reset the Spaces⁠
Clear the counters, wipe the sinks, reset the main living areas. No deep cleaning, just a reset.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Plan the Week Ahead⁠
Top 3 priorities, kids’ schedules, meals, rides, appointments.⁠
If it’s written down, my brain can relax.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Refresh Myself⁠
Laundry in, water bottle filled, a walk, early bedtime, something quiet — even 10 minutes matters.⁠
⁠
The goal isn’t perfection.⁠
It’s starting Monday with a clear mind instead of chaos.⁠
⁠
✨ Want my printable Sunday Reset Checklist? Comment RESET and I’ll send it to you.⁠
⁠
Save this for next Sunday — little routines make a big difference.⁠
Helping you simplify the chaos so you can focus on what matters most.⁠
