SUMMARY

In this episode, the team advises Maury after a dilemma brought on by a major purchase.

Our two educators, Diana and Joyce, offer very different perspectives on managing Mary’s busy household. Can skipping daily chores really have consequences at the dinner table? Matt shares how his book The Circulation Solution applies directly to Mary’s family, while Nicky makes a strong case for why making your bed every day matters.

We also explore whether a smaller service might be a better fit for Lexie and discuss strategies for handling excessive cell phone use by service professionals.

Meanwhile, the team helps David choose the highest-ticket item for his home and tackles his age-old conundrum: “Do I vacuum or mop first?”

All this and more in a not-to-be-missed episode!
