I know because I used to feel the same way, but I’ve figured out how to simplify my home management as a stay at home mom and I want to show you how as well.
Here on Queen of the Household I share what I have learned so you can learn how to keep a tidy home, get the dishes done, the laundry cleaned, and STILL have time to spend with your precious family!
After having my firstborn in 2014, I decided to quit my full time job and become a stay at home mom. It was supposed to be easy. Right?!
Well, it wasn’t!
Most days I was lost, wondering what on earth I was supposed to do, but at the same time I didn’t know how I was going to get it all done.
I was miserable!
Instead of getting myself ready each day, I spent the majority of my days in elastic waist pants and an oversized t-shirt and didn’t put any effort into how I looked. I wondered how all the other moms could get themselves together but I couldn’t.
Then one day I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw. I literally looked myself in the eye and said out loud,
“Who are you? This has got to stop!”
I knew God didn’t want me to feel this way about the role He had placed me in, and I was so tired of being miserable.
From that day on, I worked on choosing to embrace my role as a homemaker. It took time and intention, but slowly I made changes in my perspective and my habits.
Now I can truly say that I have the BEST job on earth being a homemaker.
I want that for you too!
That’s why I blog here on Queen of the Household. My passion is to share with you how to have a clean and tidy home, how to simplify meal planning, how to spend quality time with your family, and how to embrace your role as mom.
All of that IS possible!
