You can have a clean(ish) home
Housework isn't
drudge work.
We think of cleaning the house as mundane.
Cleaning is what we try to do as little as possible, not because we're managing our time well but just because we don't like it.
We wish someone else would clean our house. We wish there was a system that would make housework take little to no effort.
It's no wonder that, stuck in a bad attitude about cleaning the house, we never get any traction in keeping it clean.

CLEANING IS PART OF LIFE.
We shouldn't be as bristly as our brooms while doing them.
CHORES DON'T STAY DONE.
That's ok when we understand the reason for and purpose of the chores.

"I have a hard time resisting the temptation to quit when I don't feel I am living up to the standard I want to be at.
"The Simply Convivial courses have helped me see how overwhelm and perfectionism are both temptations to be unfaithful to God and doubt His goodness and reliability."

FAQs
My house is a wreck. Is this course for me?
Yes. Not only will be slowly but steadily and systematically address the trouble spots in your home, we'll also tackle why your home got out of control and begin addressing the underlying issues as well. Learning to not be frustrated by chores that don't stay done is a huge part of being the kind of person who tidies up naturally.
My house is reasonably clean. Is this course for me?
Maybe. If you have no trouble keeping it clean consistently, then you probably don't need this course. However, if you get your house reasonably clean with boom and bust cycles, then this course will help you break out of that pattern and not be overwhelmed by doing it all, all at once.
I hate cleaning. Is this course for me?
Yes. We'll tackle your bad attitude about cleaning (which I shared for many years myself!) while doing the work. Heart change is where the lasting change begins in our homes.
How much time will this course take?
Doing the lessons and associated assignments (ie cleaning) will take on average about an hour a week. By the end of the 6-week program, as the habits stack up, you'll be spending about 20-30 minutes on lessons per week and 45-60 minutes cleaning and tidying per day. Our goal is to keep our daily home maintenance routines at about 60 minutes per day when all added up.
What's your refund policy?
Whether you register for Sweep & Smile alone or enroll in Simply Convivial Continuing Education, we have a 30-day no-questions-asked 100% refund policy.
