The making the bed one made me smile - I always do it, and I don't know that it makes me happier or more focused, but it does help me feel like I have one tiny thing in my life together, even if the rest of the day goes out the window! 😂
And when you return to bed in the evening you’re reminded that you indeed had some success - the made bed 😅 I feel you Jennifer. And I must admit in rare days that started off wrong and I don’t get to make the bed, I still do it even 2 hours before bedtime so I feel a bit better 😂
You won’t have to throw the list out the window! You’ll just have to give yourself some grace 😂
I’d love to be so organised as to have a capsule wardrobe. And the closest I get to meal planning is batch cooking…I used to be more efficient so maybe I can rekindle those halcyon days when the littlest is a bit bigger 🫣
Hahaha thank you Sarah glad to hear I won’t have to trash the list and the grace is for sure already something I should focus on more even before kids. 😅
and giving this right back at ya, be kind with yourself don’t stress about the batch cooking and wardrobe now! I suppose with kids you need more clothes anyways because you get likely as dirty as they do when they roll in the mud and then want to be carried 😀
Here's to no rigid rules, but enough practices to feel grounded and able.
There's a beauty to things falling into place until they aren't. When the placement goes awry, I take action to do what I can to let things fall into place once more. Sometimes easy, sometimes close to impossible.
In the case of the latter, it may need removal of things that were once in place. They look neat, but they're actually a hidden mess.
Those messes can also be the beautiful things I'd like to keep. But I soon find reason to see that something even more beautiful is taking its place.
Not that my poetic nonsense has much practical meaning. But so long as I know what it means, I can keep doing my best to help as much as possible fall into place.

Lol I wholeheartedly support that! Like writing things on a To Do list after you've done them, just for the satisfaction of crossing them off 😂

For sure! Today I had curry splatted over me then medicine dribbled on me. So it’s not just the kids who have to change again and again 🤣
And I’m with you on giving ourselves grace. It’s a practice 💛
Oh gosh and curry is such a tricky one to get out 😅🌸
I wish I could be parent myself to put the screen away 😞 closing shop is a game changer! I don’t know how people can leave dishes overnight!

I guess it's a bit like Tetris...
