Spring Cleaning Tips for the Busy Mom

Tackling Spring Cleaning isn't easy when your a busy mom. Here are some tips for spring cleaning!

Spring cleaning is here! There is just something about that spring breeze in the air that gives me motivation for all things cleaning, add nesting on top of that, and this year my spring cleaning list is never ending. I know to some of you, spring cleaning doesn’t seem very exciting. In fact, some of you might have nightmares about your mom going crazy around this time of year and your social life being traded in for weekend chore lists a mile long. Add in being a busy mom already struggling to keep up with the day to day maintenance of your home, and spring cleaning could be giving you nightmares. I get it. Trust me, I do.

As a busy mom myself, I look at my spring cleaning list and easily get overwhelmed with everything I want and need to accomplish. So don’t worry, I’m not going to leave you hanging. I’ve got some tips to make tackling your spring cleaning list this spring much easier!

Spring Cleaning Tips:

  1. Make a list. Contrary to what some of you long time readers may think, I really am not a list person. I usually just like to fly by the seat of my pants. Yet, you see a lot of lists shared here on the blog because without them I find I lose my sanity. Sometimes my brain is going a hundred miles an hour in a hundred different directions and it stresses me out. I find that writing it out helps me visualize everything and tackle it one by one, instead of stressing out over everything I need to do. It also helps me to accomplish more working on one project at a time instead of trying to do everything at once and only half finishing multiple jobs.

  1. Let your kids in on the action. Spring cleaning can become complicated when you have children running around you and undoing all your hard work. For those of you with young kids, letting the help can also end up being not so helpful. That’s why I say, let them in on the action! Give them a job to do that makes them feel like they are helping and in turn it actually does help you. You may ask them to dust, and I’m sure you will have to dust the same areas, but them staying busy and not undoing all your hard work is helping you!
  1. Purchase all the products you need. Look at your list and see the tasks you have ahead. What do you need to make those tasks run smoothly? Do you need a new broom? A new mop? Some new dust cloths? Be prepared!

I went to Walmart to pick up a new broom, I can’t tell you the last time I replace ours and it was holding so much dust. I came across this Precision Angle Broom from the Libman Company made to reach perfectly under cabinets and tight corners. You wouldn’t think a broom could make such a big difference in your spring cleaning, but this precision angle broom does! It’s made with quality fibers built to be durable and last a long time. It’s been perfect for my spring cleaning! It amazes me how much dust makes it behind my refrigerator and washing machine, or should I say the amount of cheerios I find behind both? Toddlers have talent friends.

      I agree!! I usually go crazy with the thought of everything I should probably clean but have no desire too…but I think nesting this time around is helping me want to do it all. Or ask my husband to do it…haha!

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.
