Morning and Evening Resets
Some days feel like they slip away before you can catch your breath. When life gets full (and you know it always does), small daily rhythms become your lifeline. 
 
That’s where Morning and Evening Resets come in—simple, gentle pauses that create order and peace before the day begins and after it winds down.
 
A Morning Reset helps you walk into the new day with a sense of calm and purpose. It’s not about doing everything—it’s about doing a few small things that make your home feel cared for.
 
An Evening Reset does the same for tomorrow. It’s a chance to close out the day with intention, creating order so the next morning feels welcoming instead of overwhelming. 
 
These resets aren’t meant to be complicated or time-consuming. They’re small, repeatable acts of care that make a big difference over time—not just for your house, but for your heart.

Homemaking Tip
💡The simplest way to build a habit is to attach it to something you already do—like meals. Try This:
  • Morning Reset: Right after breakfast, load the dishwasher, wipe the table, start a load of laundry, and tidy the main living space.
  • Evening Reset: After dinner, clear the counters, tidy the living room, pick up toys, and set out breakfast dishes.
Small resets, repeated daily, create calm you can count on.

little is also faithful in much."

THS Reminder
Challenge: Tonight, do your evening reset with your family. Even young children can help put toys away or wipe the table. Turn on soft music, light a candle, and make it a peaceful, shared moment.
