Welcome to The Calm Home Journal—a monthly digital magazine by A Pop of You where we’re going to dig DEEP into the journey of creating a calm home with young kids…and getting the control back that you’ve been craving.

Each month’s issue will focus on a different topic. November is all about DELEGATION. 👏🏼

Here’s a snippet from this month’s issue:

“Let’s talk about delegation. You know, that magical thing where other people help, and we don’t try to do everything ourselves?

Spoiler alert: it’s harder than it sounds. Trust me—I’ve been the “I’ll just do it myself” mom far too many times, only to end the day completely drained and wondering why my to-do list looks the same as it did that morning.

But here’s what I’ve learned (the hard way): letting go and leaning on others—whether it’s Jimmy, my girls, or an intentionally thought-out service or subscription—has been the difference maker for our home. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about working together to get things done and make life a little calmer.

Here’s the mindset shift that’s been game-changing for us: thinking of our family as a team. Everyone—even the littlest members—can pitch in to help our home run smoother. Rather than assigning chores like a drill sergeant (though I won’t lie, a good “clean-up song” works wonders), it’s about building a sense of shared responsibility and celebrating the wins together, no matter how small.

And our team doesn’t stop at home! Services like grocery delivery, drive-thru car washes, or family task management subscriptions have become essential teammates, taking duties off my plate and ensuring what matters actually gets done. Delegation isn’t just helpful—it’s strategic!”

In this issue of The Calm Home Journal, I’m sharing tips and strategies that have helped me, from simple ways to get the kids involved to outsourcing without the guilt. Let’s tackle delegation together and finally ditch the “supermom” cape (because honestly, it’s itchy and overrated).

49 value-add pages PACKED with actual strategies (+ a few freebies!)
