If you are a mom just feeling tired and overwhelmed and can't seem to get your home to a state you feel good about, I just want you to know I hear you. I know what it's like. It's really hard sometimes.
I know you are busy and that it seems like there are so many balls, as soon as you get a firm grip on one, another seems to drop. It can feel like 2 steps forward, one step back. I know people are judging you. All women are judged unrealistically by other women. I know you're making sacrifices for your kids. I understand. Your time and your energy are your greatest resources. If you feel like you pick up and pick up and pick up but your house never looks tidy, you may just have too much stuff. If you find you are loosing your things and people hesitate to put things away, maybe it isn't 100% clear and obvious where things go. This is why putting a little time now into organization and decluttering will buy you back so much more time later.
I want you to practice self compassion and let go of self judgement - it doesn't serve you. Meet yourself where you really and truly are right now and work from there.
This may mean taking it slowly, setting realistic expectations, and celebrating small victories. This is a journey. It is breaking things down into smaller and more manageable tasks. I know you have it in you to do it. It is going to take time. It may take a year but you can do it. Please don't give up on your journey!

One Mom to Another
