So when we moved, I had promised myself to keep my house cleaner, spend more time with my kids, and just be a better wife and mom in general. And I think I did do those things.....for about 2 weeks. And then it was like life caught up with me. I am behind again on laundry, cleaning, potty training...I haven't been able to get back into my workout routine. And although this may sound like a pity party, IT. IS. NOT. I am actually writing this post, hoping that anyone reading will share their ideas on what they do to keep up on everything.
And I guess I hope that with any ideas that are shared, I will be able to implement something to help me be better. After all, us moms have got to stick together!!! :)

Trying Hard

It IS hard. I don't have any real advice, other than the dishes and laundry will always be there, but the chance to build lasting memories with your kiddos goes by far to fast. Hope you don't stress too much about having a clean home. I think you're pretty amazing!
Start putting sticky notes on your mirrors and around the house- words of encouragement or things to do. Also, set some goals and FOLLOW UP. Maybe give yourself a reward when you've done really good or accomplished something. Good luck!
I made a cleaning schedule where I can myself one chore a day to do while my preschool kiddos nap in the afternoon....I can email it to you if you would like. It makes me feel like I am not spending a whole day cleaning the house. I have had to make myself realize that the house is never going to stay clean, its just a never ending cycle! good luck, I think you are pretty super!
I have the hardest time keeping up on house work and time with the kids and i only have two haha. but i found that if i clean at least one room in the house every day while the kids are napping then i can stay on top of things a little better. I also do a five min clean up where ever it is needed while the kids are eating breakfast, lunch, and right after they go to bed that way i can have the rest of the night to do what i want. hope this helps.
