FREE DECEMBER CLEANING CALENDAR + What to declutter before Christmas


Issue #65

Hello Reader,

Happy Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a great start. Can you believe we are officially in the last month of 2024? This year has flown by. We are in full preparation for the Christmas season here in our house, which means I'm doing some decluttering and extra cleaning.

The couple of weeks before Christmas is a great time to tackle some small decluttering projects, especially before new items make their way into your spaces.

I've put together a blog post with some tips on what to declutter before Christmas. You can read it here.


The Homemaker's Resource Library has been loaded with our free December Cleaning Calendar. Use password IAMAHOMEMAKER to access the page. Find it under "Cleaning Calendars."


I hope you have a wonderful week!


Have a blessed day!

Issue #62 Hello Reader, Happy Monday! I'm taking a moment to breathe just a bit and reflect on this past year. My homemaking routine has definitely felt disjointed and a bit chaotic as we have learned to adjust to new routines. Once we get past the holidays, I know I will set aside a bit of time to intentionally create goals for many aspects of my life, even homemaking. I consider homemaking a career, and I want to be successful. There are certainly seasons when homemaking feels completely...
