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!
