You're listening to the decluttered mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a 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. Okay, not literally,

but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,

I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the mom

system and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast.

Today we are going to pick up right where we left off last week.

We are going to do some more odd but it works house rules that we just live by in our house.

It looks like I have eight more that I wanted to go over with you.

And hopefully last week's episode was helpful for you. And I've been starting to get some DMs with your odd, but it works household rules. I would love to continue to get those.

So if you have any that you have in your house that you would like me to share in a different

episode, please send them my way. I can either share them with your first name or I can

share them anonymously. Either way, it's been fun to just kind of read about the rules that you have

in your household and why. Like, number one, why you have them? How did they come about? Why were they

implemented? And then it's just kind of fun to see the different

variety. And it's a good reminder that different things work for different households. Not like,

if I gave you 10 things to do immediately right now, maybe all of those would work, but maybe only

four of them would work for your home, or maybe eight of them would work for

your home. And for your neighbor, all of them would work for their home. And so it's something that

is obviously going to be different for every person, for their personality, for the time they have

available, all of those things. But this is just kind of a fun two-part episode about the

silly little rules that we have in our house at work. So let's jump into the first one for today.

Okay, so number one is a weekly brain release every Sunday. This is non-negotiable and this has been a non-negotiable for years
