"Annoying as they may be, think of thesetasks as grown-up strength training exercises that come with homeownership. And as with real strength-training, it's best to look to those who have actually, you know, done the thing for inspiration. That's where Leslie Moncada Lewis comes in. Leslie is a content creator and mom living in Clovis, California, where she, her husband Joe, and her five kids moved into a new home in December of 2024."
"The couple are both former athletes, and they approach homeownership a bit like a relay race; when one of them is overwhelmed, they pass the baton to the other. That's helped them adjust and prepare for the holidays in their new home. To help the Lewis family make this holiday both more merry and more manageable, Scary Mommy teamed up with Bustle and GEICO to send them a holiday care package."
Many homeowners postpone annoying tasks like repairing leaks, filing insurance claims, or sanding sticking doors, and those lingering chores often undermine holiday cheer. Treating postponed home tasks as grown-up strength-training can motivate action. Leslie Moncada Lewis and her husband Joe, both former athletes, moved their five children into a six-bedroom, four-bath house in Clovis, California in December 2024. They manage homeownership like a relay race, passing responsibilities when one partner is overwhelmed. Scary Mommy, Bustle, and GEICO provided a holiday care package to the family to free mental bandwidth and help tackle a crucial home improvement before the holidays.
