If you’re tired and overwhelmed with the daily grind of motherhood, you aren’t alone.
Sometimes you’re just counting down the hours until bedtime. Or you think you might scream (cry?) if you have to pick up one more dirty sock off the living room floor.
Do you feel:
like life is a never-ending cycle of chores? like you’re the maid? that all you do is pick up other people’s stuff all day?
as if playing with your children is wasting time- there’s too much else to do?
mom guilt, like you never do enough?
overwhelmed with decisions, exhausted at the end of the day, burnt out?
do you routinely hide in the bathroom or car just for some time alone?
do you love your children with all your heart, but often feel frustrated, angry, or impatient?
You aren’t alone. I get it. I was stuck in Groundhog’s Day, until I decided life didn’t have to be an endless cycle of never-enough.
Step 1 - declutter and minimize. Everything you own needs maintenance. E V E R Y T H I H G. Look up from your screen- look at all the things around you that need your attention. They are stealing your time and joy. Let’s get that time and joy back.
Step 2 - create an efficient home with systems and routines that work for YOU. What’s a constant source of struggle? Where can you be more efficient? What’s causing chaos in your home? Let’s find ways to maximize your time, run your house like an efficient machine, and free up your time for the things you love.
Step 3 - create connections with your children. Once you clear the clutter and create systems that work, you have time to purposefully connect with your children in ways that also make you happy. You have time for “me time”. You have time for the little and big moments of love that make up your life. And once you create those connections inside your home, you have the spark to seek connections outside your home with friends, through hobbies, or however you fill your cup.
Step 4 - believe in your value as a mom and parent with grace. You are not defined by the cleanliness of your floors, the creativity of your meals, or how many hours you volunteer at your child’s school. You are not defined by your outfit, what car you drive, or what your front porch looks like. You are not defined by when your child is toilet trained, your child’s reading level, or how much screen time you allow. Your value as a mom is intrinsic. I’ll say that again: your value is intrinsic! And with that knowledge comes confidence in your own parenting.
