    Do These 9 Things During Holiday Clean Up (episode 18)

    🎙️ Do These 9 Things During Holiday Clean Up Welcome to the Prepared Enough podcast, a space where we simplify motherhood, nurture our families, and design homes that help us raise independent and helpful children. Three notes about doing the reset now: * You got it out, you might as well do it. * Your later self will thank you. * If you don’t take care of it now, odds are you won’t take care of it in November. Episode Talking Points: 1. Write a list of any materials or decor you want to buy for next year so you can keep an eye out for products and sales throughout the year or early in the 2026 holiday season (decoration, hosting, etc.). 2. Rid of stuff you don’t want that never made it out of your Christmas bins or any broken decoration you don’t want cluttering your house and attic. 3. Clean basement or attic space where holiday bins will be put back. 4. Toss or fix broken ornaments. If you put them away broken, odds are that you will not fix them next year. 5. Put your ornaments away in the order you want to take them out next year (think: toddlers and other small grabby humans). 6. Wrap books. 7. Update / delete items from online gift lists OR move them to private. Create lists to add to for the upcoming year. 8. The first things you are going to have to think about for next year are holiday cards if you do them. Set a date in your calendar to start thinking about pictures, or DIY cards, or ordering cards, etc. 9. If you have any handmade items you want to make for next year, get serious about actually starting them earlier than November. Resources & Links: 1.

    Alright, welp...7 Observations Since Saying Goodbye to Instagram 1.5 Years Ago (episode 15)

    A few observations since saying goodbye to IG: 1. I am entirely clueless on trends. Literally clueless. 2. I am totally clueless on “MUST have” products. 3. I am no longer angry at the world. 4. I don’t feel the need to speak up regardless of how much or how little I know about a topic. 5. Our personal privacy is more protected. 6. I don’t have to work through the emotional turmoil that comes with online trolls. 7. My kids don’t see me constantly on my phone. A few good things Two podcasts I’ve enjoyed lately— 🎙 #1 Secret to a Christian Marriage (It’s NOT What You Think) | Live Free with Josh Howerton — I really enjoyed this podcast. It’s an old one but I went back to listen to it. 🎙 How to Design a Christmas That ACTUALLY Centers on Jesus (12 Days Framework) — I’ve really been enjoying the Family Teams podcasts recently. 🎙 Subscribe to Prepared Enough on Apple Podcasts.

    10 Questions to Ask Yourself When Decluttering Toys Before the Holiday Influx (episode 14)

    🎙️ 10 Questions to Ask Yourself When Decluttering Toys Before the Holiday Influx Three things in this episode: 🙀 Overcoming toy overwhelm 🪴 Gain a new mindset around your home’s play areas 💪 Encouragement for progress over perfection Episode Talking Points: 10 questions: 1. Is it broken or missing important (key word) pieces? Is it actually garbage? 2. Do my kids actually play with this — or just dump it out? 3. What does this toy spark in my kids and do I want this? Does this toy spark creativity? Cooperative play with siblings? Calm? You could also ask—How do you want your home to feel in this space? Does this item work toward that goal or against it? 4. Would my child even notice if this disappeared? 5. Would I buy this again today? 6. Is this age appropriate anymore? Is there something my child is ready to grow into that would replace this item instead? 7. Could this toy be replaced by something simpler? A follow up question here is— Is it a singular use toy or is it open ended? Can multiple toys be replaced by one more open ended toy? 8. Is this toy very similar or serving the same purpose as any other toy? Which can you keep, which can you get rid of? 9. Does this fit your values? 10. Could another child love this more right now? Three quick pieces of advice: * Start with the physically largest items. * Boxes for donate, garbage, & attic (maybe) * Involve kids over age 2 Remember: We are creating room for good play, a joy filled space, and a home that you can manage well. Your home doesn’t have to be perfect, but it should be peaceful enough for everyone to breathe.
