last minute cleaning up & unplanned visits

My mom is coming to visit the boys while they’re off school all this week. She’s leaving early in the morning (aka in a few hours from now LOL) and she’ll get here probably a little past lunchtime. So I looked around and realized that even though we just cleaned the house is kind of a mess.

So I started cleaning up some of the mess that was laying around, put away the clean laundry, started washing the dirty laundry. The kids actually pitched in and cleaned the dining room and put the clothes away! Everything was going so smoothly. Now it’s late at night and I have no helpers! Just me and a scrub bucket, no fair.

My mom already knows that I’m the worst house keeper in the world so she doesn’t expect things to be all shiny clean and spectacular like a Winter Park real estate display house or something. But I still like to put the effort out there, you know?

Find the Time Mama

You love being a mom. It's one of the best things in the world and you'd never turn it in for any other life. Me too!

But, there's no need to strive to be Super Woman or to put on any fronts that's it's all a breeze. Fact of the matter is, being a mom, a spouse, the cook, cleaner, nurse, chauffeur, bookkeeper, event planner, organizer and [fill in the blank with your many duties here] is not always easy. All those roles and duties can really wear you out (even if you love doing them) and make you feel like there's no time left over to do the things you want to do.

Now is the time to get your Find the Time Mama guide and start making changes.
