124. Increase Peace & Reduce Chaos One System at a Time, Guest Host Amy Roberts

I'm on a mission to simplify my life and streamline my systems AND to teach gt my kids on board with the systems also.  This frees me up to focus on what really matters - the hearts and minds of my children.  Having the kids participate in the home systems grows their character and gives them a framework for living a self-disciplined, productive life. In episode 124, you'll learn about several of my systems to make life simpler for busy households.  And I am so thankful that Amy Roberts from Raising Arrows joined us in this episode as our guest host!Quotes:"These systems increase simplicity and they also increase self-discipline in our kids." 'Why am I talking about our kids' internet usage in a time-saving strategies podcast? It's because having a family internet agreement saves us so much time in multiple ways. Such as, I don't have to wrestle with myself about what my rules are going to be today with the kids regarding internet. Otherwise, if I didn't have a clear plan for internet usage in our home, then on days when I was tired or sick or overwhelmed, then I would be very tempted to be very lax on those rules. And that's when things end up happening is when we're distracted as parents."Resources Mentioned (some are affiliate links):Internet Usage AgreementNet Nanny Filtering service, Covenant Eyes accountability serviceSimple Systems for Homeschool SuccessBlog post about my sticky note system with three Brain Books.Blog post about Save Your Sanity- one hour a week  meal prep.RaisiSend Val your encouragement and thoughts about the show.Support the showVisit Val's website: PracticallySpeakingMOM.comJoin Val's Facebook Group Intentional Mom, Strong FamilyFollow Val on Instagram and her Facebook Public Page Practically Speaking MOMWe're on a mission to strengthen families.Want to help cover some of the costs of the show? click here.
