Brittany and Tiffany

Are you intentional about how you run your home?  Or…do things just happen and ONLY when YOU do them?!

Would you like things to run a bit smoother?

Do you need help?  A village?  A little community?

Our next guest is back by popular demand, and she's got some ideas about ALL those things (and we think you'll like them!) 

This isn't just some *expert* who's here to tell you what to do (we have a pretty strict policy against that around here)…

She's a homeschooling mom of 6 and her family owns a dairy farm in southern Alberta. 

She's deeply connected with the unique struggles of life in regards to motherhood and has built a business by helping women create harmony, order, and cooperation within their home and family so they have energy and the mental fortitude to do all the things that God has asked of them (and the wisdom to discern what God is actually asking of them!)

  • Habits & Systems (02:16)
  • There's a System for That (03:38)
  • Systems for Homeschooling (09:57)
  • Choosing Where to Begin (13:37)
  • The Big Five of Homemaking (18:15)
  • The Next Steps (20:40)
  • The Six Features of a Successful System (25:05)
  • Do Your Systems Change? (31:53)
  • The System That's Working the BEST for Tessa Right Now (35:25)
  • Final Questions (40:45)
  • More About Tessa (46:48)

She has a course called Stressed to Blessed: Mastering the Art of Christian Homemaking and in the course she walks you through your whole home system, set up standards for your home (what you want to do, when you want to do it), and there’s a whole lesson on communicating these standards to your children and spouse to help them get on board.  

Tessa believes that the home is the whole foundation for society, and as mothers it’s our responsibility to set a tone of order, peace, creativity, fun, harmony (siblings should get along) and she believes that children should be taught the skills to run a household.

Remember sweet mommas,

You are doing beautiful work!
