✔️ Christian homemaking routines that actually work
✔️ Productivity, mom-style
✔️ Homeschooling with peace—even when life gets messy
✔️ Time management for moms (without rigid schedules)
✔️ Decluttering your home & your attitude
✔️ How to be diligent, not just busy

What plans are really for - with Betsy Farquhar
Find Betsy at redeemedreader.com - where she's prereading new books for you and your kidsBetsy's planning wisdom: I like to think of management as balancing humility and honesty when I plan. So the humility part is that the Lord doesn't really need me to accomplish these things. I mean, I feel like I'm indispensable to the plan, but I'm really not .
