Here is part 2 of the systems we have in place to maintain a tidy home with 5 young kids ❤️ Remember, these systems were created because we felt like we were drowning 😂 I found myself getting stressed and overwhelmed over every little thing and realized my environment had a lot to do with it. Now don’t get me wrong I embrace the mess and chaos. Some days the baby won’t let you put them down or your kids want to play catch a bit longer. In those instances, the mess can wait. I won’t look back on my life and remember all the times my house was perfectly tidy. I’ll remember the moments I spent with my children 🤗❤️ Now with all that said, I still don’t thrive when the house feels like it’s never going to be neat again. So that’s why my husband and I developed these systems. If we feel behind or overwhelmed due to the mess, we fall back on these systems! Here is our midday clean up checklist ✔️Clean playroom (do one room at a time. Do not get distracted and go to another room, by sticking to one room until it’s done you are guaranteeing you will get at least one room done and will feel accomplished!) ✔️ Clean up dining area. This is a big one for us since that’s where we homeschool. If that’s not your situation, change this room out to a high traffic area. ✔️ Sort laundry. We start a load at night before we tuck the kids in and the. move it to the dryer once they are asleep. The next day we do a quick wrinkle release on the dryer, unload, and sort ✔️ Empty the dishwasher. We run the dishwasher at night so we unload the next day. ✔️ Clean kitchen and make sure ALL dishes are loaded in the dishwasher or cleaned. This will set us up for success when it comes to the dinner dishes and make the closing shift a lot easier! ✔️ Clear your drop zone. This is an area of the house where you drop all the random crap from the day. I always feel like if the drop zone is clean then I am already way ahead! What are some of your tidy tips? #cleaningmotivation #momoflittles #momlifebelike #sahmlife #honestmom

When painting and decorating the nursery I realized I was living in the exact scene I use to daydream about when I was younger and would think about my future 🥹❤️ “Remember that once you dreamed of being where you are now”

Oh how things have changed from when I played sports in the 90s 😂 Is this the new norm? Back in my day we got ONE thing from this snack pack, now these kids are getting a full lunch sack of goodies 😂 I don’t mind, but I am curious if it’s going to get bigger as time goes on. What’s the after game snack protocol for you? #millenialparenting #sportsmom

When you hit 35 and realize you need to relearn how to do your makeup since your skin has changed from aging and pregnancy 👵🤰 So apparently as you age you can't glob on concealer and setting powder the same way you did at 22 😝 Well, maybe YOU can but I sure as heck can't! 😉 I am in my mid 30s and pregnant with my 6th kid, so naturally my skin has changed in the last 13 years thus my make up doesn't sit the same as it use to 💄 So for the past 3 days I did some extensive research on "how to apply your make up for mature skin" and "make up routines for 35+" and compiled everything I have learned and that has worked for me in this video! I know it's nothing revolutionary but I hope it's helpful!! Has your makeup routine changed since your 30s? Since pregnancy? If so, do you have any tips?? I would love to hear them! #pregnancymakeup

Bringing in the groceries 6 months pregnant feels like an Olympic sport 😝🏅 This is what we get for groceries every week as a family of 7! My husband is in charge of this task. He makes the list each week and orders everything. If there is a specific meal I want to make I just tell him the ingredients I need and he adds it to the list. He is in charge of getting the essentials and all our “safe meals” for the kids! What does your weekly grocery haul look like?? 🛒 #sahmlife #groceryhaul #bigfamilymeals #honestmotherhood #dayinthelife #momof5
