For young women who aspire to be homemakers, maintaining a clean and organized house can seem overwhelming, especially when the home is in disarray. The key to tackling a messy house is to start with a plan: create a cleaning schedule and prioritize the areas that need the most attention. Begin with the most cluttered space, stay focused, and persist until you make headway.

To stay motivated, use a timer set for 15-20 minutes of cleaning followed by a short break, repeating the cycle. When decluttering, it's crucial to be ruthless—remove items you don't need and invest in storage solutions like boxes, bins, and baskets for better organization. Assign a designated place for frequently misplaced items, and create storage space for seasonal belongings to maintain order.

Remember, you can't clean the entire house in one day; set achievable goals and tackle different areas on different days. Create a cleaning schedule and involve the whole family by assigning age-appropriate chores to each member. Homemaking is about balancing personal responsibilities with keeping a beautiful and purposeful home, focusing on progress rather than perfection.

Start by making a to-do list and prioritizing tasks to make the most of your time. Tackling the laundry pile on Monday can lighten the load for the rest of the week, while decluttering your spaces can bring a sense of calm. Plan your meals and create a grocery list to save time and money. Finally, remember to take some time for yourself to recharge and rejuvenate.

By following these simple tips, you can start your week on the right foot, feel accomplished, and embrace the routine of being a homemaker. Make Mondays your day to get organized and live your dream.

I KNOW BUSY. 

I live it. Every single day.

So, when I told myself I was writing a blog post today, I made the time to do it. I looked at my list of blog ideas, and realized this topic was perfect.

Which is why I KNOW you need to hear this too.

We all have the same amount of hours in the day. We decide what we are going to do with those hours. If we have set obligations, we have less hours to get our other tasks done, but still need to do them.

This may look like working out for 30 minutes a week if that is all you can squeeze in, as long as you make the time to take care of your body. 

75 Hard (even though I am on my 3rd reboot at the time of this writing...) is teaching me about prioritizing the things that are important to us. I am spending 1hr 30m a day working out.
