MASTER ORGANIZED MOTHERHOOD | Home Organization Strategies, Time Management Tips, Cleaning, Decluttering Tips
** TOP 3% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST ** Do you feel like you are drowning in clutter? Are you embarrassed by how your home looks and avoiding inviting others over because it would take a day and a half to clean, leaving you feeling too exhausted to host when the guests finally arrive? Do you want an organized life but don’t know where to start, or if you did start, wouldn’t know how to stay consistent? Friend! There is an easier way…and a better way to organize your home and life that doesn’t require it to be Pinterest perfect. This podcast will help you create peace in your home with less clutter, easier systems, more routines, and the consistency to stay organized. Hey, I’m Amy. Wife, chaos coordinator and work-from-home mom of 4 kids 6 and under. For years, I thought that an organized home meant perfectly clean, and pinterest perfect at ALL times. I spent all my time cleaning, and relocating everyone’s belongings, trying to maintain a sense of visual peace in my home. I felt like I could not get any work done until the house was picked up and put away. Feeling frustrated with my family for the messes they had created were a daily occurrence. I tried every tip for cleaning, organizing and managing my home, only to fall off track again and feel like a failure… I let my home dictate how successful & productive I felt, only to end up more stressed out & overwhelmed. I was struggling to find the joy in motherhood, while losing myself in the never ending organizational process. Finally, I came to realize that in order to become the happy, organized Mom I wanted to be, I had to live each day with purpose and intention, that stemmed from the ideal home atmosphere I wanted to create for my family. So, I developed a simple framework that focuses on organization as the WHOLE picture. Creating sustainable habits, goals and systems that finally created the consistency I could actually attain. I am so excited to share it with you! If you are ready to finally create a home with that peaceful atmosphere you desire - One that is organized, and clutter free. With simple systems to help you stay consistent so you can spend more intentional time with those babies you are raising and less time managing the over-flowing stuff, then this is the podcast for you! Brew some coffee, pack up the kids for a car nap and let’s go my friend, it’s your turn to learn!

I have a very special episode for you today! The very first guest on the show, and an expert in her field. We had a wonderful conversation that I can't wait to share with you today!Have you found yourself acting In a way you did not mean too, simply because you where feeling overwhelmed and stressed out In a hard moment? You have a deadline to meet, everything In your mind Is piled a mile high and suddenly the kids are throwing every excuse they can at you as you are trying to herd them out the door. Thinking to yourself "why can't they just hurry up this morning, I have so much to do!"
Suddenly you are speaking more loudly and angrily than you mean too, and the situation escalates. Which then has to be de-escalated before you can successfully get out the door...and now you are late!

Welcome back to Fun Friday's!
Have you ever arrived home from the store, SO excited about the new winter coat you just scored on sale. As you're telling your husband, "Look how cute it is! It was only 20 bucks!"
He says, "doesn't she have a new winter coat already..?" Indeed, he is right! You totally forgot that you had already purchased a coat and now have to go to the hassle of returning it.
I don't know about you, but with so many kids in the house I have a hard time keeping track of what clothes and shoes we have at any given time. Specifically outdoor wear as those items tend to be the most expensive and are passed down from kid to kid.
Have you ever considered keeping track ....like an actual inventory list of the coats, boots, mittens, snow pants, all those things you have. So you know at a glance before the start of ever new season if you need to be buying some larger sizes.
Or when you are at the store to help talk yourself OUT of purchasing that coat you don't need because you can easily see from your list that you already have a winter coat in that exact same size at home...just a slightly different style.
Well friend, I have tips for you today to help you tackle this project for yourself so you never have to wonder again.
In this episode today, we will talk about...
The three steps you can follow to create your own simple inventory list, to help you know EXACTLY what outdoor wear you already have. As well as knowing exactly what size you need for the following season.
By creating an inventory list of your children's outdoor clothing and shoes it benefits you by...
1. Preventing over-buying of items you do not need
2. Knowing exactly WHEN to take advantage of good deals and sales at the change of seasons so you are prepared with the right size of coats, shoes etc for the following season
3. Have a better idea of what articles of clothing you can pass on to siblings or friends and family
