Oh just the thought of getting ready for a selling is scary to me. But that’s because I know I need to do all the things you’re doing right now!! Good for you to know what’s important & what’s not!!

@Kasey @ AllThingsMamma, I think Spring is really playing a role. With the sun shining, my mood is lifting, and I want everything organized and tidy (life and the house). I love this time of year.

@Christine LaRocque, I’m really hoping for a finished basement or playroom in our new house. Something were the kiddo can just be a kiddo, clutter and everything. That way the rest of the house can be neat and tidy. Life is much less stressful that way.

I can relate to your post on so many levels. It is so hard to juggle everything as a mom ALL THE TIME. It's hard to let things fall to the wayside every now and then. Sounds like you have the right perspective. Wishing you all the best in the days ahead. .-= Momisodes´s last blog ..Who wood have thought? =-.

Good for you! I am glad you are making some time for yourself and organizing your life. This was my goal for the year. Some days are better than others. But,I do know that overall it’s been better. I go through periods where I feel overwhelmed and I go through my house and declutter. It’s such a good feeling. And now with the sun shining more, I feel the need to Spring clean. It feels good to have a clean house because I want to do it…not cause I feel pressured to do it!

It’s a hard lesson to learn as a mother, to just be good enough and to not worry about trying to do everything. I’ve been guilty of the same. One thing I am good as is THE PURGE. I love getting rid of stuff. I find it cathartic. It drives my husband who is the complete opposite bananas, but I can’t find any mental peace in my home if I’m surrounded by clutter and just stuff. With kids it can be particularly overwhelming with things like crafts and toys. Fortunately we have a huge rec room in our basement. I let the kids go wild down there. Upstairs though, I reserve the space for mental quiet. Put stuff away, throw it away, whatever works to keeps us clutter free.

Good luck with the sale of your house. I’ve been there with little ones. It isn’t fun. I wish you a speedy, detail free sale.
