071 | Chores in Our Home - Creating a Culture of Collaboration

from Homespun: Create the Life You Crave · host Kathryn Garland

Just yesterday a friend was over asking me how I get my children to do things (like shoveling goat poop into the bucket of our tractor to move to a pile for it to season in the back pasture) and I truly didn't know how to answer. I wanted to say, we just do. The truth is it has been years of consistent, sometimes hard, work to make a home culture of cooperation and collaboration where we all live here so we all do the hard, gross, tedious things, so we can all have time to play later. In this episode I try and expand on how and why we view chores as essential and how our attitude around them has been essential in cultivating the home culture we want for our family.You can always email me at [email protected] me on Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@homespun.kathryn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
