If you're struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn't fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home:  You don't work for your home; your home works for you.    In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as "I can never keep up" and a chaotic kitchen as "I'm a bad mother." Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, "I am alive," and at stacks of dishes and thought, "I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row."   Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you'll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including:   -How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth  -How to start by setting priorities  -How to stagger tasks so you won't procrastinate  -How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine  -How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional   With KC's help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren't finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.]]></description><link>https://shortgrass.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079225</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://shortgrass.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S51C1079225</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Davis, KC.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://shortgrass.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1079225051</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668002858/MC.GIF&amp;client=shorp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real Life Organizing]]></title><description><![CDATA[The HGTV host&rsquo;s bestselling guide to creating a Pinterest-worthy home in just fifteen minutes a day&mdash;and on a budget.

Live freer. Live a bigger life with less.   In Declutter Like a Mother, Allie Casazza comes alongside you to explore:  Why decluttering calms anxiety in your heart and lessens tension in your relationships.  How to ensure your house is working for you, not against you.  Why kids thrive when they're not overwhelmed with options.  How to make time, when you feel you don't have time, to declutter.     Allie Casazza was tired of feeling it was her against the laundry in her home. She wondered if somewhere beneath her frantic days and the mountains of toys in the playroom she would ever find joy and peace in motherhood. Then she discovered the abundance . . . of less.  As she purged her home of excess stuff, Allie discovered a lifestyle that strengthened her marriage, saved her motherhood, and helped her develop her gifts in a way that no amount of new kitchen appliances or new organizing system ever could.  Research studies show a direct link between stress levels and the amount of physical possessions people have in their homes, and Allie has seen that truth play out in her own life and in the lives of hundreds of thousands of other moms she has mentored through her business and online courses. She proclaims:  You don't need a home that's perfect. You need a home that's lighter. Discover less stress, more space. Less chaos, more peace.

While Hilarie Burton Morgan's hectic lifestyle as an actress in New York and Los Angeles gave her a comfortable life, it did not fulfill her spiritually or emotionally. After the birth of their first son, she and her husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the star of The Walking Dead, decided to make a major change: they bought a working farm in Rhinebeck, New York, and began a new chapter in their lives.  The Rural Diaries chronicles her inspiring story of farm life: chopping wood, making dandelion wine, building chicken coops. Burton looks back at her transition from urban to country living—discovering how to manage a farm while raising her son and making friends with her new neighbors. She mixes charming stories of learning to raise alpacas and buying and revitalizing the town's beloved candy store, Samuel's Sweet Shop, with raw observations on the ups and downs of marriage and her struggles with secondary infertility. Burton also includes delicious recipes that can be made with fresh ingredients at home, as well as home renovation and gardening tips.  Burton's charisma, wide eyed attitude, and fortitude—both internal and physical—propels this moving story of transformation and self-discovery.
