Why Would I Ever Share This? Challenging Myself To Become A Better Housekeeper

Hello and welcome!
Join me today as I invite you into my home in all of its messy, cluttered, unfiltered glory. Housekeeping- that is cleaning, organization, decoration, etc. is something that has never come super easily to me. My house is almost always messy to some degree, and I rarely feel like I make much progress in this area, even when I put in a fair amount of conscious effort. Talking about this and showing you my home exactly as it is in the moment was very hard for me to do, and is probably the most vulnerable thing I have done so far on this channel.
What would ever possess me to share something like this? Knowing it has the potential to open me up to criticism and hurtful comments? Because I think this isn't something that is shared about enough. I think there are a lot of people with homes very similar to mine who may go for their whole lives thinking that they are alone in this and that there is something inherently wrong with them. You are not alone, and you aren't wrong. Housekeeping is a skill, and not all of us were trained in this skill to the same degree.
However, as a skill, it is something that can be learned and improved upon, and that is exactly what I am on a mission to do. I hope you will join me as I challenge myself to become better at housekeeping. I am not a cleaning expert. I am not a therapist. I am not a famous influencer. I do not have the resources to hire others to do this work for me. I am a stay at home mom with many talents, of which housekeeping is not one. Although it may not be a natural talent of mine, it is a skill that I can practice and become better at to create a cleaner, more pleasant environment for my family and myself.
Thank you so much for watching and for your support!

I'm a new subscriber and I also struggle with keeping a tidy house. I'm working on getting rid of stuff so I have less to clean. 💜

You can do this! Take it in baby steps. Even working 5 or 10 minutes on a spot each day will really add up. I encourage you to check out The Minimal Mom. Dawn may be a great motivation for you during this challenge. Best of luck!

Too much inventory to manage. Simplify if you can. Good luck 👍 I'll watch your progress 👍
