About Me

Hello! I’m Elizabeth, the creator of The Self Cleaning House. I’ve been married to my favorite person, Chris, for 37 years. We have three grown daughters and four beautiful grandchildren who call me “Nana.” I live in the pine‐covered hills of North Idaho, where the outdoors often wins out over weekend chores.

For 33 years I ran an in-home daycare. I’m “retired” now—but happily on call for grandkid snuggles. Life here is anything but boring.

My greatest loves are Jesus, my family, and learning how to be a faithful wife, mother, and Nana. This blog grew out of decades of real-life practice (and plenty of mistakes). Life is too precious to be swallowed by clutter and stress. I’m here to help you build gentle routines, enjoy your people, and find peace in Christ.

On The Self Cleaning House you’ll find:

  • simple cleaning rhythms that actually stick
  • menu planning and family-friendly recipes
  • encouragement for parenting and everyday homemaking
  • simple ways to bring peace and faith into everyday life

I’d love to hear from you—feedback, questions, or just a friendly hello. Email me at selfcleaninghouse@gmail.com.
