Summary

Brace yourself - I want you to think about your house in way unlike you have ever thought about your house before. I want to challenge all of us to change from how we think we should live in our homes, and embrace how we are actually living in our homes. I am hoping we will not be forced to stay safe at home again, but I want us to be prepared.

As women, we often feel like when people come into our homes that we are being judged and graded. Most women I have spoken with have felt this way at some point in their lives. We take pride in having a clean and hospitable home, but we are often short in time and money to make that a reality. I want to help you make some mindset shifts for living in this pandemic.

Walk through your house with index cards or a note pad. Stop in each zone and make notes about what worked and what did not. I share with you some of the thinking I did about my own house and family.

Walk through your house with index cards or a note pad. Stop in each zone and make notes about what worked and what did not. I share with you some of the thinking I did about my own house and family. For example, everyone in the home needs a place to work, alone space, passion projects, and adequate technology. I also share some changes you can consider making to the spaces in your home. You can make new rules. You can change how you are using your spaces. I'd love to hear from you in our Facebook community if you are using spaces in new or unusual ways.

0:00.0	This week's mailbag comes to us from Kim.
0:03.0	Hi Lisa and team. I just wanted to take a moment and reach out to you.
0:07.0	I know that one of Lisa's love languages is words of affirmation and so I wanted to say something regarding Planning Day.
0:14.6	My husband and I just watched Planning Day on Friday night, Saturday morning.
0:19.3	Yes, my husband actually does do all the organized 365 things with me and let me just say I
0:25.1	needed that. We were driving to Walmart Saturday afternoon to check out pools and
0:29.7	we were listening to the Christian music in the car. I, no joke, said to my husband,
0:34.8	you know how some people say they need church? I think I needed Lisa. I had been slightly
0:41.0	paralyzed thinking about the summer. I didn't want to cancel some of my plans and ideas like going camping later in the summer quite yet, but I also knew that they could very likely be cancelled.
0:51.0	I feel like we are in such a time of waiting. By the end of
0:54.2	planning day I had a plan to teach my six-year-old to ride his bike with no
0:58.3	training wheels. That would be his learn to drive and we were going to help my 12 year old start a lawn mowing business.
1:05.7	As you probably picked up, we decided to get a pool for the backyard, which I'm quite excited

1:15.4	I am the PTO president at the elementary school and I was thinking about taking some of those ideas

1:24.0	The area that I live in, many people consider to be lower income,
1:27.0	so some of the ideas you provided were great and a great reminder for all of us.
1:31.0	Simply put, water balloons and squirt guns can be so much fun.
1:36.0	This planning day may not have been like a normal planning day, but really nothing about this world is normal right now.
