”Good moms have sticky floors, dirty ovens, and happy kids,” I say.
What if they could have all the experiences that lead to sticky floors, and I could have a home that felt peaceful?
I've gradually started dealing with the clutter so that I can start spending more quality time with them.
Clutter takes up space, both physically and mentally, and I’m finding that dealing with clutter is creating space for a lot more joyful moments in my life. It’s still a work in progress, but it feels so much better.
Organized clutter is still clutter though. Life is messy. Houses get messy, and that’s okay! However, I hope it can be possible to have great experiences – even ones that make big messes – and then default back to a peaceful, organized home.
Over the next few weeks I'm challenging myself to go through my house room by room and see how many things I can find to get rid of!
I started with our master bath, and found five things. I also did our living room, threw a lot of trash away and putting things away, but didn't find anything to get rid of there..
I'm going to keep going through the rooms as I get a chance, and I'll post my running tally. Feel free to join in too!
