Oftentimes, we use the beginning of the year to get our lives, families, and homes organized. We invited mama, Retha Nichole, to whip us into shape on getting all of these areas organized and how to speak positively over ourselves. Be sure to listen, as she shared valuable information on how to ease organizational stress, how to bring our kids on board with managing our homes, and more!
