#314: More Than Clean - Building a Safe Haven for Your Family (Feat. Becky Rapinchuk from Clean Mama!)

In this episode of the Crazy Cool Family Podcast, Suz and McKenzie talk with Becky, founder of Clean Mama about simple, sustainable home keeping routines for busy families. Learn the 5 daily cleaning tasks, a practical weekly cleaning schedule (bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, floors, catch-all), how to involve kids in chores, and how to keep a non-toxic home with easy DIY cleaners.

If you’re overwhelmed by clutter, laundry, and dishes, this conversation will help you create peaceful family rhythms that support Christian parenting and the mission of your home.

What you’ll learn:

• The 5 daily resets: wipe counters & dishes, check floors, make beds, tidy clutter, daily laundry check
• The weekly flow that prevents marathon cleaning days
• Rotating tasks & monthly focus (deep clean + organize without overwhelm)
• How to show, don’t tell when teaching kids chores (age-appropriate tools + tiny wins)
• Mindset shifts: “I get to” gratitude, timing tasks (<5 minutes!), and starting where you are
• Non-toxic favorites: Becky’s go-to DIY stone spray (water + rubbing alcohol + a little dish soap)
• Getting back on track after travel, sickness, or newborn—why you start with today
• Why a made bed is a mood booster and room “anchor”

Quote to remember: “Hard doesn’t mean bad. Small, faithful steps at home serve your Kingdom mission.”
