Clean the Chaos Part 1


Posted on Facebook and Instagram Thursday evening:

Ashley and I are passionate about simple living. When striving to live the simple life, keeping your home clean and continuing to declutter is vital.
.
Life has been crazy for me lately and you can always tell how cluttered my mind is by the state if my home.
.
Tomorrow I will be decluttering and cleaning. As I go, I will be documenting it and posting my crazy efforts, fail or succeed, on the blog. Keep your eye out! πŸ™Š πŸ’₯ 🧦 πŸŽ’πŸ‘ŸπŸ—‘️πŸš½πŸ›️πŸ›πŸ‘

Posted early Friday morning:

Here at Mayberry Moms, I want to be transparent. Real life happens‼️
.
I texted my husband this morning just to double check that he doesn't mind our messy all over the internet. He assured me he didn't. Do you know why? Real life happens and it's what you do next that matters. The next step. πŸ‘£
.
So here I am. This is my next step. πŸ›πŸš½ Here's to getting back to normal routine. Stay tuned! πŸ“» πŸŽ™️

Ellison isn't quite ready to go to her big girl bed yet and honestly, I'm not quite ready either. We have three kids in this room for the time being. In big families, you gotta be flexible. :) After:

Upstairs Hallway - This was the last area we worked on. While we worked, it became more and more cluttered with items needing to find their homes. 
Isn't it crazy how it looks horrible before it comes together?

I really didn't want to get up. I really didn't want to clean today. Sitting on the couch and wallowing would have been much easier. I thought... I knew I would feel that way. I posted that challenge to myself and that picture this morning because I needed to be held accountable. I knew I'd feel better when it was all cleaned up. The weight that has been lifted and the peace that has taken it's place is indescribable. Once I got going, a kid woke up and started working. Then more woke up and started helping. Pretty soon, we were all enjoying (as much as one can enjoy cleaning!) working towards a goal together. 

It was a great day!

Here are some photos I snapped as we enjoyed time together. <3
