0:00.0	You guys, I am so excited to be back. It has been too long. I didn't plan on going this long on this little break, but I have good reason. We ended up moving recently in late October and it wasn't, it wasn't like totally sudden, but it was not completely planned either. And I forget how much work goes into, number one,
0:25.7	packing, number two, selling a house, number three, buying a house, and then just the entire moving
0:33.0	process. Also, like, it's just, it's so stressful no matter how prepared you are. There's always
0:40.9	going to be big stressful components to it. And then we also did some work on the new house
0:46.8	that we bought prior to moving in. So while I was trying to pack and get our house ready to go to move out of, I was also managing
0:56.8	contractors at the new house for the work that we were having done. Plus, you know, all of the
1:04.4	things. Just all of the things. Kids getting sick. All of the things. So now that we are finally like settling in, things are kind of settling down.
1:15.6	We are mostly unpacked. I am so excited to get back to the podcast because especially this
1:23.1	week, I know if you celebrate Christmas, it is Christmas week. And that, while magical for many people,
1:31.2	can also feel so overwhelming and stressful, especially for moms because I think moms have an unfair
1:41.7	amount of things that they have to do to be able to make Christmas feel magical for
1:48.6	everyone else involved, right? Especially their kids. So I am really excited to talk to you this
1:54.7	week. Of course, this is going to be a shorter episode like all of them because you are busy
1:59.7	and you are extra, extra busy this week.
2:04.0	You're listening to the decluttered mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a
2:11.2	busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home.
2:20.3	Okay, not literally, but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me.
2:26.6	Over the next 10 months, I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have
2:33.7	never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the belongings, and I have never looked back.
2:35.4	I kind of feel like I hacked the mom system, and I'm here to share all the tips,
2:40.8	tricks, and encouragement.
2:42.8	Let's listen to today's show.
