Summary

In this episode, we're tackling a challenge many of us face: feeling like our homes are in complete chaos. With busy schedules and active households, it's easy to get overwhelmed. But here's some encouraging news—your home probably isn't as messy as it feels. Join me as I share practical tips for a quick 5-10 minute tidy that can dramatically transform your living spaces without the need for deep cleaning or vacuuming. We’ll dive into some of my favorite tips, like setting a timer, focusing on high-impact areas, and involving the whole family in tidying up. I'll also cover those notorious "hot spots" in our homes that quickly become cluttered, like the shoes entryway, mail and paperwork, and kitchen counters, and share strategies to keep them under control. Remember, the goal isn’t perfection—it's about making small, manageable changes that make a big impact. And as we go about our daily routines, let's remember that our ultimate source of peace and order is Jesus.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker Podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and
0:11.2	blessing to each other and the role God has called us to as women. I'm so thankful
0:16.1	you stop by so grab yourself a coffee or tea and sit with me a bit as we talk
0:21.1	about how God's word impacts every area of our lives as Christian women.
0:25.4	Hello friend, I'm Marcy Farrell from Thankful Hallmaker and I'm so glad to be here with you today.
0:31.8	I have a practical episode for us today, just a little bit of encouragement
0:35.6	for our day, and the idea came about for it when I was sharing on the Day at Night with the Woods
0:40.3	podcast about 10 steps for beginning homemakers and one of those 10
0:45.6	tips was how helpful a daily tidy can be. I'm going to link to their
0:50.4	podcast and that particular episode in the show notes because if you haven't
0:54.4	tuned into their podcast yet I think you will absolutely love it.
0:58.3	Pastor Tony and his wife Bree are such a delight and their podcast is truly aimed for ordinary people like you and me

1:16.0	They focus on biblical truths to offer guidance and encouragement and each episode it so beautifully underscores that God's grace and the authority of
1:24.9	scripture are the foundations for a fulfilling marriage and family so I will
1:29.4	link to that and also as on preparing this episode I've also been working hard on putting together our camp for our grandkids this year.
1:37.5	We officially call it Camp Nana Papa since we are Nana and Papa to our grand kiddos and I love the planning part but I really can't wait to get the
1:46.1	kiddos here for a week. If you want to know more about it I'll link to an episode my husband
1:50.9	I did together on our first year doing it. This is going to be our fifth annual camp this year. It's been so fun as they're getting older even to plan different activities. I'm glad they still love it. This year we have rocket building on this
2:04.8	schedule. My girls want to make homemade sabs and body spray and we're going to play a
2:09.3	little bit with essential oils and they even want to dig into foraging.
