Making Time for What Really Matters with bObsweep

Let’s get straight to the point here, I love a clean house as much as any one person loves a clean house. I think it might be some type of drug, not kidding. When I wake up, come out to the living area, and it’s spotless with blankets folded in their place and the floor free of clutter, it’s amazing. Then when I look past the living area into the kitchen and see an empty sink and freshly wiped counter tops my day starts on this incredible high. I feel like I started the day on top of the world and it feels a lot easier to manage everything thrown my way. It gives me more time to focus on what really matters.

But let’s snap back into reality for a moment…I have two kids. I don’t even have to say anything else and I already know you are seeing the dream up there come crashing down. My kids are three and twenty-one months, and they are great helpers. They decorate my floor with cheerios, they are masterminds at making messes seconds after I cleaned the room, and I can’t figure out where the dishes in my sink come from. It’s never ending. I could clean all day long and still have stuff to clean.

But the truth is, I really can’t clean all day long. I have children who need attention, meals that need to be cooked, work that needs to be done, and most importantly a family that needs me present. I have done my best to find ways to level out what is on my plate and make time for what really matters.

 

Insert bObsweep PetHair and my life has literally been changed. I know what you’re thinking, you can vacuum your house in ten minutes and be done, why do you need help? Do you know how many times I can read the kid’s favorite book in ten minutes? A lot. Not only that, but twenty minutes later when my floor is littered with cheerios again, I can let bObsweep do the work for me, and I can spend less time cleaning up messes and more time on what really matters.

Since Bob became part of our family, we have had more dance parties, more cuddles, more story reading, and a lot less cheerios on the floor. Not to mention the kid’s absolutely love him! Elyse walked up the stairs the other day while the bObsweep was running across the floor and excitedly proclaims, “Hi Bob!” Jase follows Bob around asking where he is going and what he is cleaning, they might think it’s some sort of pet.

 

I have literally cut my cleaning time in half. I spent time deep cleaning the kitchen this week after our family was down with the nasty flu, and while I scrubbed every inch of the kitchen Bob vacuumed my entire main floor. And when I was done with the kitchen, the bObsweep made his way into the kitchen and cleaned that floor as well! Now I wouldn’t sit here and tell you about something if it wasn’t worth it, and I have to tell you, the bObsweep PetHair is completely worth it! Having it show up on my doorstep while we were battling the flu could not have been more perfect timing.

Now, it does take a little time to get used to the bObsweep PetHair’s pattern of vacuuming. There are all kinds of settings you can use which are definitely pretty cool. It may seem like he passed up the pile of cheerios because he doesn’t necessarily vacuum the way you would, but he always covers the entire area. If you give him time to do his thing, he gets it done. I like to have him cover a large area at the end of the day to just have a fresh clean carpet in the morning. When I have him do a quick spot clean, I usually set him on spiral mode which is my absolute favorite. It leaves pretty cool circle designs on my carpet…again, it’s the little things that make me happy.

 

I am so thankful to have saved time on something I have to do on a daily basis with small children, and be able to spend more time with my family. It’s the little things that make a big difference, and having more time for what really matters makes a huge difference.

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
