The season of spring cleaning is upon us. There is a breeze in the air, you can open the windows in your home, the sun is shining, and suddenly all that motivation you lacked all winter long hits you with full force. Next thing you know, you are looking for the next thing you can clean in your home to accomplish another room on your spring cleaning list. One of the biggest rooms to tackle when spring cleaning is your kitchen! So if you are ready for your kitchen to feel like a new place, here are five things you can do to spring clean your kitchen today.

Cabinets

Go ahead and open those cabinets and look all the way to the back and find those pots and pans you forgot existed. Make a pile of the pots, pans, dishes, cups, etc that you no longer need. Do you have a hundred lids with no matching container? Throw those out! Do you have pots that are so burnt on the bottom you never use them? Throw those out! Wipe down the inside and outside of your cabinets and you’ll feel like you have a completely new kitchen.

Drawers

What you did to the cabinets…now it’s time to do the same thing to those drawers! Go ahead and get rid of the items you aren’t using and you’ll have so much more space! Don’t forget to go through that junk drawer, you know everyone has one of those.

Counter Tops

I know you clean these on a regular basis, but now it’s time to make sure you really clean them. Take everything off the counters, wipe them down, wipe the back splash or your wall down, wipe the edges of the counter, get every little corner that can easily be missed. Then before placing all the items back on the counter, wipe those down too!

Appliances

All appliances need a good scrub down every once in awhile. Be sure to wash the inside of your dishwasher and remove the silverware holders to clean any trapped dirt. Use the cleaning cycle on your appliances that offer them and give them all a fresh start. It’s amazing what clean appliances can do for your kitchen.

The Forgotten Items

When cleaning the kitchen it’s easy to forget about the windows, chairs, handles, etc. because they aren’t used on a daily basis. When working on your spring cleaning this is the perfect time to wash the areas that are often forgotten. Light fixtures, light switches, knobs, handles, all of these areas are easy to forget so be sure to tackle these areas in your spring cleaning as well!

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.
