My solution for toy management is to get rid of as much as possible. You will find that kids play better without a lot of toys. So I found that to be the case and it of course saves my sanity from always feeling I need to like put all these toys back together with.

My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone, join me as I share

with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur

life along the way. Welcome back to the simple Farmhouse Life podcast.

Today I'm going to be doing a solo episode.

So in 2024, I've asked you all to submit your questions over at bit.

Dot Lee forward slash SFL, that's capitalized, questions in lowercase, so that I could

on every third episode answer some frequently asked questions from

you, give you some life updates and all that good stuff that I know some of the podcasts I like

no, yeah, in five months, we did six states. If you count Colorado that my kids and husband did,

but the whole family did five different states. And we just got back from the last of those trips

and although it was so much fun I am so done with traveling traveling with kids is cool

it's a experience it's a memory all of that good stuff but it's also very hard and it's very

difficult to stay in your flow of the way
