A Letter to the Woman Who Can’t Remember When She Showered Last // Leila Lawler

<p>You wouldn’t think that something as simple as showering would be that big of a hurdle to jump for me. But until recently, I was letting showering just kind of happen to me. If the girls’ naptime coordinated on an afternoon I didn’t have anything planned, then maybe I’d get a shower in. But after many afternoons passing and the stars and nap times not aligning, I got sick of washing my curly hair in the sink and decided to make regular showers part of my schedule.</p> <p>I honestly didn’t think I’d ever say that on a podcast.&nbsp;In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Leila Lawler.</p> <p>Leila has a blog, Like Mother Like Daughter, that I’ve been reading for years - and she is who taught me the practicals of making showers a regular thing for myself - but that is one of so many things I’ve learned from Leila. And, she’s recently compiled her practical, everyday wisdom into a three volume set called <em>The Summa Domestica</em> and that is what we’re talking about today.</p> <p>So whether you’re struggling to get a shower in, or you wish you had a handy guidebook on everything from education to kitchen drawer organization, I have the book for you, or rather, the three book set for you.</p> <p>If you’re not sure when the last time you took a shower was, or if you can remember, but don’t have a plan in place for the next time that you’ll take a shower, sister, this letter is for you.</p> <p><strong>Topics we talked about in this episode:</strong></p> <ul> <li>How Leila discovered the beauty of Catholic traditions as a convert</li> <li>Why her blog post on showering is one of the most popular pieces on her website</li> <li>The difference between life happening to you and making a plan</li> <li>What inspired Leila to pen a three volume set on all things domestic living</li> <li>How to root yourself in the daily reality of your life</li> <li>Why a happy home is foundational to the education of our children, regardless of what schooling option you choose</li> <li>The reason you should start your clea
