Today I walked into the kitchen half awake and saw the sink full of dishes. Normally I would sigh, tell myself I would get to it later when the kids are napping, and carry that tiny weight all day. Instead I rolled up my sleeves and started the water. It took 3 rounds of ten minutes. That was it. The counters were cleared by lunch time, and my brain felt quiet. I realized how much stress comes from the little promises we make to ourselves and keep postponing. Every “I’ll do it later” stays open in the background of your mind. When I just handle it in the moment, the house feels calmer and so do I. No nagging thoughts. No mental clutter. Sometimes peace is not a vacation. Sometimes it is simply washing the dish when you see the dish. What's your small win for the day?

Start your ween bg prepping on the weekends. Create a grocery list based on meals you want tk make for the week. This will save time and money. Schedule time to cook throughout the week, or my favorite, bulk cook on Sundays and Wednesdays. As a busy mother with no support other than my husband, this is one way I keep control of our super busy week. Give it a try.

Household OS Rule # 1: If it repeats weekly, it needs a system. In my home, we do laundry once per week. With a husband working onsite (I work remotely) and 2 babies, clothes can pile up very quickly. In my most chaotic moments, I feel overwhelmed and unprepared. To tackle this I follow a life-changing family laundry system. Steal my system: 1) Do laundry weekly. Pick a day and stick to it. 2) Have a sorting station or bin in at least 2-3 places in your home. 3) treat any stains the night before laundry. 4) Do one load after the other. Sorting as they dry. 5)HERES WHERE I OFTEN GET STUCK. 📌 Sorting the clothes means everyone now has fresh clothes to wear....but we all hate to look through our piles. SO, I spend 2 days to fold and put away. *If this doesn't work for you, fold your laundry the same day and put them away as each load dries. 6) Always have your supplies ready. Your laundry will delay if you're suddenly out of softener or detergent. 😫 7) Find your favorite settings on each machine. 8) Get the whole family involved if possible. This system works well for me, but I hope I can hear from you too. 😄🎙🪄 What repeats weekly in your home that doesn't have a system?
