About Me

Hello! I’m Elizabeth, the creator of The Self Cleaning House. I’ve been happily married to my amazing husband, Chris, for 35 wonderful years. We’re blessed with three incredible adult daughters and four beautiful grandchildren who call me “Nana.”

We reside in the stunning landscapes of North Idaho, where the great outdoors beckon, making weekend cleaning chores seem far less appealing.

For 33 years, I ran an in-home daycare, and although I’m now semi-retired, I continue to care for my grandkids and one other little one. Life around here is anything but boring!

My greatest loves are Jesus, my family, and striving to be the best wife, mother, and Nana I can be.

This blog was born out of a desire to share the wisdom gained from a multitude of life experiences and, yes, more than a few mistakes. Life is too precious to be consumed by cleaning and stress. I’m here to help you savor every moment with your kids, in your home, and within God’s splendid creation.

At The Self Cleaning House, you’ll find insights into cleaning routines, menu planning, and recipes, along with parenting tips and daily inspiration. Above all, our focus is on Christ, the true source of peace in our homes and lives.

I warmly welcome your feedback, questions, and suggestions, or simply a friendly hello! Reach out to me at selfcleaninghouse@gmail.com.
