Well, hello there and welcome back. My name is Stephanie Safarian and you are listening to episode 170 of the Sustainable Minimalist podcast.

On today's show, we are discussing practical ways in which we can minimize, simplify, and

keep up with the dreaded housework.

If we are fortunate enough to live inside four walls with a roof, then we all have it.

Housework. And if we're fortunate enough to have a family, we likely have lots of household duties.

My guest today argues that the key to simplifying housework

is first to get everyone involved.

The second key is to create routines and rituals around your

housework and in your days so that the routines and rituals become so well ingrained in your days that you don't even

think about any of it as work.

Today I'm speaking with Becky Rappenschuck.

Becky may be better known to you as Clean Mama. She runs a popular

blog by the same name and she's also the author of a new book titled Clean Mama's Guide to a Peaceful Home.

Becky is on the show to outline her

Uber popular daily routines,

as well as her weekly ones that have transformed homes around the globe from messy stress-inducing

spaces into serene and cozy ones.

Enjoy my chat with Becky Rappenchuck.

Becky, thank you so much for coming on the show.

I am so excited to speak with you all about how we can create sanctuaries out of our homes.

How are you doing?

I'm great, how are you?
