How to be Amazing at Home Management
There’s nothing more refreshing than sitting down with a really smart friend and picking her brain. That’s what I just did with my friend Jen Pepito about home management. Jen is a master at home management, and she has to be as a mom to seven and a business owner.
In this episode of the podcast we’re talking about all things home management: What really falls under that umbrella? Where to start if you’re just feeling swamped. Little things you can do to get your kids on board.
I love talking to Jen because she always reminds me to circle in and reminds me of the most important things: our families, what our kids will remember, if we’re remembering to pause, take it all in, not let it pass us by.

Thanks, Jen, for always being so wise!

How to be Amazing at Home Management: an interview with Jen Pepito
Not only is Jen managing her home like a rockstar, she’s writing the most amazing curriculum too. We have used her Peaceful Preschool curriculum in our home, as well as the Playful Pioneers–loved that one too!
She’s just released a brand new course that I cannot wait to check out…The Kind Kingdom. Click below to check out a sample.
