With the holidays upon us, keeping our homes in order sometimes feels impossible. It can be hard on a normal day.
Lately, every time I turn around there are at least 3+ ornaments on the floor taken off by my two toddlers while my 4-year-old is going, "Mommyyy...mommyyy. Get them! They're taking off the ornaments again!"
BUT despite picking up ornaments every hour, I'm able to keep our home decently tidy. Not perfect, but practical and peaceful.
Please know, it's NOT because I clean all day. I don't.
I spend maybe 1 hour cleaning every day.
If you want to know my system for keeping things "company ready" with three kiddos 4 and under, you'll enjoy this week's episode!
Here's my poor little tree for tax. Literally as I write this note to you, I look over and find ornaments in the floor.
Look at that ribbon holding on for dear life 🤣
If you missed last week's podcast episode...
While there is a season for everything (hello mamas of newborns - see Ecclesiastes 3:1 👋), when you can, I think it's best to get up BEFORE our kiddos. Especially if you are a SAHM or WFHM. You wouldn't clock in to a "normal" job the minute you opened your eyes. We should treat our role as a mother and homemaker the same way!
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
— Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
Lord, thank You for the mama reading this today. I pray that You would encourage her as she finishes out the week. Give her wisdom to know where to put her focus during this busy and happy season, and please provide her the rest that You know she needs. Amen.
