I want you to think about this. Do you feel as though a certain room in your house is so disorganized and messy?That it's honestly a moot point?When you talk to yourself - do you say... It's going to be exactly as it was before AND  dang it - you just spent so much time and energy organizing and doing all the things to make this room look presentable.!!Does this sound familiar?  So, instead of reorganizing the same stuff over and over again then I want to encourage you to remove the excess and then organize.  Today, I want to walk with you through some steps to encourage you and to motivate you to tackle that daunting room, that cabinet, that drawer -- shoot ANY space. This little formula works for any single space in your house. It could be a basket in your office, a drawer in your kitchen, your makeup drawer/ cabinet but start small.  Set a little timer for however long feels comfortable for you and get after it.  Clean! It! Out!   XXOO,Lis

The truth behind The Organized-ish and NOW Yes to Less™!hello@yestoless.lifeWebsiteInsta

Do you feel like you say yes to everyone and everything?  Are you exhausted?  Are you fried? Are you frazzled?I'm guessing you are nodding your head yes...So that means you're often grumpy &  crabby because all of these commitments seem to hit at once. These events/commitments all seem to happen within a four-day period, at least in my life!! LOLSo, today,  want to talk to you about saying no!  Saying no doesn't make you a bitch.  I promise.  It doesn't make you a meany.Just look at it this way -- when you think about saying yes to someone realize that it's taking away from time your family, with your children, with people that mean the most to you.Love you!Lishello@yestoless.lifeWebsiteInsta

Think about this!  If you set your alarm 15 to 20 minutes earlier, you could have a little bit of time to sit with a cup of tea, to sit my cup of coffee, & gather your thoughts for the day.And think about how you want to approach, whatever you have going on that day.  You can choose, am I going to be hectic and scattered and stressed, or am I going to be methodical about it and be like, Hey, I know this is coming up, what's the best way to approach it?  Let's get a game plan and move forward.And I promise you that by being super intentional with that little bit of time your family will see a difference in you, the way you react, the way you communicate, and then you're going to start craving it. Then you'll want more and more of it. I promise. So take this little nugget of advice, set your alarm just a little bit earlier.Go to bed just a little bit earlier and then let me know how you feel because I think it's such a building block for my day and I know it could be such a building block for your day too!XXOO,Lishello@yestoless.lifeWebsiteInsta

Welcome to season two!I would love for this season to teach you how to focus on the things in life that bring you joy and not just happiness. Happiness to me is temporary.  Focus on the things in life that set your soul on fire.  The things that when you lay your head down on that squishy comfy pillow of yours, you can say, Thank you, God. Today was a good day. Together, I want to walk down this road with you.  Side by side.  Baby steps if that's our speed - That works for me. Together, I want to show you that YOU are the focus of this season. So, I'm jumping in. It will be messy. It will be fun. It will be freaking fantastic!!! So come one, girlie! Jump on in —the water is warm. Honestly, it's September in Texas so the water is really warm. Ha, ha, but I've got a floatie with your name on it and a yummy spritzer for you to sip on.Tearjerker quote is from Jen Hatmaker's book - Fierce Free and Full of Firehello@yestoless.lifeWebsiteInsta

It's OK if they need a break from you. Try your best to not take it personally. Respecting this is huge and it will show them that you get it (or at least you are trying to) Try open-ended questions. Ex: "On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the BEST day ever, how was today? Why that number? Embrace car rides. Kids can really open up when sitting by your side. If he is "techy" then ask him for some tech help Watch his favorite youtube videos or show. Maybe ask him to help you better understand his fave game Help him clean his room (without nagging or lecturing, just to help out. You might be surprised at some of the memories you’ll share). Ask: Do you want my advice or do you want me to listen? Give them opportunities to shine. Set them up for success Leslie Josel (parenting expert) orderoochaos.com

How is this possible?  I laugh at the fact that I launched this podcast on day one of quarantine.  It feels like yesterday and it also feels like 40 years ago that I recorded that.Wow - so much has happened over the last year.  Today, let’s talk about a few lessons that I have learned since March 17, 2020.    Appreciate what is right in front of you.  Balance doesn’t exist but harmony does (sometimes) --  Connection - It’s hard.   So cheers to another year of podcasts.  Sending all my sisters lots of hugs!!Lishello@yestoless.lifeWebsiteInsta
