Well, hello and welcome back to Kindled. I'm your host, Haley. Today I'm sharing an episode that I recorded with Katie Bonima.

Today's episode is one that is near and dear to my heart, as it's something that I have walked personally in our own home and family, been training our girls on this stuff and

really training myself too the last several years.

And that is, what does it take to run a home?

What should your home look like?

What, how do you train your children to help run that home and help to be a part of actually

contributing members of the family and not just, you know, people who expect you to be their

butler or servant? And, you know, come to find out when we start this process, we often think that it's going to

immediately help with the workload. And in reality, a lot of times the workload increases before

it decreases when you bring your kids into it. And that is because you are doing more than just

offloading work. You are training children. Focusing in on this

area with my girls and getting intentional, making a plan, and actually being consistent with

it has changed the tone of our home. It has changed how we all work together to be in the home,

since we're always all home together. It has just been life-changing. And when I

saw Katie talking about this on Instagram, I knew I wanted to chat with her about it because her

story was just so raw and real and relatable. I mean, this is where many of us find ourselves. So I know

you'll be encouraged by just her candor. And I'm going to link in the show notes.

An article on Substack I have about involving your kids in chores if you need more on that.

So scroll down and you will find that article that is in front of the paywall.

So open to the public.

Anyways, hope this episode encourages you as much as it did me.

Sometimes we just need those reminders. And spring is a great time to start new rhythms in your home and kind of reset
