Summary

We've started a new habit in our weekly schedule this year called Project Fridays and it's change the way we get to household projects AND fun projects we want to do. This episode is for all homeschoolers especially, but really for anyone who wants to get to "extra" projects but just never finds the time to do so. Listen in! Listen to the Podcast: You can find all the links and notes for this episode below! Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer. I've got a few goals this year in running a productive household. I've got some household projects going on like decluttering and organizing kids clothes, putting the garden to bed for the fall in a good way, and organizing the garage. We've also got a whole list of fun things we want to tackle: learning how to knit, making sourdough, the kids want to do homemade play-dough again and the list goes on. As we sink back into normal life routines after having a baby and revamping our homeschool routines for the year, I accidentally started something new that we call Project Fridays. And we've loved it! Our goal with Project Fridays: Learn and explore a fun new skill or craft AND get a home project done! Here's how we do it: First thing we start our home project and get it done quick. Everyone is motivated and excited to get it done. And then we move into our hands on project! So far we've done: Water color class, Making necklaces and bracelets, making chocolates and lollipops. What we've got on our schedule for this year: Making clay beads Christmas cookies Homemade play dough Learning how to sew Learning how to crochet Candies from scratch Charcoal sketching Carving soapstone Making soap Making clay stop motion characters + background making Turning this into movies Learn how to make basic video games Learning to code Cake decorating Woodworking How to make it affordable: Thrift stores - check in often for craft supplies (create a list so you know what to look for!)

0:00.0	Welcome to the Finding Joy in Your Home Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Valmay, and this is the podcast where we blend deeply theological topics with thoroughly practical application, all for God's glory.
0:12.4	Hey, friends, welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are on episode number six of season two. We have been working on a little mini series called the productive
0:22.9	household. And we've been really kind of just moving through different topics with the
0:27.2	productive household. And I have a fun mini series of this mini series that we're going to be starting
0:34.8	next. But today, I wanted to share something that I think is very
0:39.6	much in line with a productive household, but is maybe a little bit off topic. We have introduced
0:44.6	something into our weekly schedule called Project Fridays. And I documented this past Friday,
0:51.4	what we were doing. And I shared it on Instagram, and I got so many questions
0:55.2	and so many responses of people going, that is such a good idea. And this kind of just came out,
1:00.7	this is not like the most revolutionary idea ever, but I feel like the way we've combined it
1:06.1	with a couple of different things and stuck it in our week has worked so well. So we're going to dive into
1:12.5	what all of that is. And I'm going to kind of talk about how it kind of fits in with our idea
1:17.9	of having productive households because it's become a way that we get to household projects
1:24.1	that we just seem to never get to and combining it with fun projects that we want
1:29.8	to be really proactive at as a family. And so this episode is going to be really great,
1:37.0	especially for homeschoolers. If you homeschoolers, really, really in line with your objectives
1:41.9	for the day. But it's really for anybody who wants to get to
1:44.9	kind of extra projects because your project Friday doesn't have to be on Friday or it could be
1:50.7	Friday evening or Saturday. But, you know, when you kind of want to get to those extra projects,
1:55.5	but that you just kind of never find the time to do, which is how I've been feeling lately.
2:00.4	Okay. So with that, let's go
2:02.9	ahead and jump straight in because I really want to get through this and I feel like I've got a lot
