Haha. I take that as a compliment! Because it means I have made progress, even though I sometimes feel like I still have so far to go. Above all though it’s not about the looks, it’s about the feeling. It looks like this most of the week now. and to me that feels AMAZING! I have started to go to bed at midnight and then eleven and now some nights i’m even in bed by ten! I finally started to wake up before my family (also a dream I thought would never be a reality until my kids moved out, but no i’m actually living it NOW!) Sleep was how I coped with the overwhelm. I stayed up too late shuffling it and then didn’t want to get up because I knew the mess that awaited me. It was a dreadful cycle. Just this last week I told the Lord that I’m finally ready for him to start waking me up again and he has been! One morning it was at four, the next at five and so on, the only reason I can get up at that time now is because I am done with my kitchen and house cleaning earlier in the evening and I’m getting enough rest. My mind is not overwhelmed, I’m not drowning and I can think clear enough to move on with other areas of my life. I am excited to wake up and sit on the couch while having my morning quiet time. The house is tidy, my mind at peace, the future bright etc.. God is so good you guys! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/e9105dfe-a616-4205-a2d3-9b0a7b697ac3/tempImagehD6A0h.jpg Blog - Clutter Free in 23 (with progress photos!) - Make it stand out This is the overwhelm I dealt with every, single, night. It’s also the root cause of me going to bed way past midnight every day of the week and the breakdowns I began to experience every few days. What that looked like for me is, after I put all the kids to bed and said good night to my husband, I would come downstairs, look at all this stuff, sit down on the floor and bawl because it was a cycle that literally had no end. After crying it all out I would get up put away food and clean the essentials and call it a night. If anyone ever asked how I was doing, all I wanted to say is that I am drowning. I truly felt like I was suffocating in all the stuff around me. I always had to say no, to get togethers and to taking my children out because if I allowed myself to do that then I would revert to that being my escape and I would let things at home get way out of hand. Kyle and I would fight a lot because he likes to come home to a tidy house but I just felt like a failure. This went on for years. It mostly got bad after my youngest was born because I could no longer keep up at the end of my pregnancy and then things were so backed up after I was finally healed and able to manage, that I was too overwhelmed mentally do know what to do and where to start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/2f717ee0-6790-48ed-b957-4c77b50576f4/tempImageC5YfKP.jpg Blog - Clutter Free in 23 (with progress photos!) - Make it stand out This is us in progress! Most nights now this is what it looks like and BEFORE 10 pm! Seeing these photos brought me back to all those negative overwhelming feelings. I am SO grateful that my mind is healed now. That most of that stuff is no longer in our home. I am actually doing great and positive not just to survive but to live doing what I enjoy. God is so good and it is all thanks to Dawn “The Minimal Mom” who couched me since the end of 2020 with her videos. She gave me permission to let go, not feel guilt, how to tell family and friends that I have let their gifts go and so much more! PLEASE please please go check out her youtube channel and watch through some videos that apply to you. You WILL be surprised that you can learn something new, even if you don’t think you need it. (Thank you, thank you, thank you Dawn!

I Love the soft, warm, sage color. The darker blue was nice too and I loved how it tied in with the kitchen, before we remodeled it but change is nice and it feels fresh. (Thank you mother for helping us paint this door and always making our dreams into reality!) Oh and I love the wreath (pink is my favorite color hehe) It was a Goodwill find. I looked everywhere online for something I liked and it was either out of the budget price I wanted to spend on it or it was just the typical flimsy wreaths that fall apart after one season. So what did I do?? I prayed about it, yep and I stopped looking for it, then one day when I was out thrifting with my daughter we came across this and it was perfect! For only $5 can’t get a much better deal then that :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/798420b0-5405-486e-aad4-a19082c2fe4c/IMG_3910.jpeg Blog - It’s all about perspective - Make it stand out It’s still hard to believe sometimes that it only takes me a few minutes of cleaning up to get the kitchen all clutter free.

We actually like it a lot better this way. It was supposed to be temporary for the Christmas season because the tree wouldn’t fit anywhere else with the other arrangement we had. But we ended up loving it and keeping it this way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/ed836bb6-f172-47f7-ab01-00581e29e347/IMG_3904.jpeg Blog - It’s all about perspective - Make it stand out This is our living room/breakfast nook.

The goodness of the Lord - Make it stand out My almost two year old baby! P.S. Did you see the chair on my cover photo?? I don’t know what it is about me but i’m in love with old chairs! That same day we had all those errands and our Zoo trip we picked up that adorable chair. It is at least eighty years old but could be even older! The elderly Lady who owned it said she used it as a child and that’s as far back as she knows it’s history. That scares some people but my kids are already asking me if their kids can use it haha. Something about old charm! Anyway thought I’d share a fun fact about us :) (I should say the kids and I) P.S.S. My husband isn’t too thrilled about it ;) (I love you darling ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1629063507753-TRJ0A2WS460ZR4UFHLDR/IMG_9447.jpeg Blog - The goodness of the Lord - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1629063540849-GJVOMEGXWZ432GKTV9SB/IMG_9455.jpeg Blog - The goodness of the Lord - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1629063612174-28P5IF77HFS9NGZZPCRH/IMG_9443.jpeg Blog - The goodness of the Lord - Make it stand out My little bears cubs getting sooo big!!! https://nattysjournal.com/blog/2021/2/4/miracleworker monthly 0.5 2021-08-02 https://nattysjournal.com/blog/2021/4/26/am5dpe0pjxad06uyuy5s5drc2zvjt8 monthly 0.5 2021-04-27 https://nattysjournal.com/blog/2021/3/18/goodbye-dear-babushka-grandmother monthly 0.5 2021-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1617712901381-5YF72WH4WLBF1HSSAOPM/IMG_7883.JPG Blog - Goodbye dear (Babushka) Grandmother https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1617401012369-PCZN6MZVMECBMAJWDL21/IMG_6888.jpeg Blog - Goodbye dear (Babushka) Grandmother https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1617712853763-T0KL6WEB4TGTQB2J2BBL/IMG_7882.JPG Blog - Goodbye dear (Babushka) Grandmother https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1616846927910-2DYVHEDKCOXJ6SZAM57I/4fa825ed0c92cde7a3e6470103a5a368-xxlarge.jpeg Blog - Goodbye dear (Babushka) Grandmother This was the latest family photo we took at our last family reunion.

Hadassah on the left loves to mostly bake and all things spices. Alistair on the right loves all things fresh and to cook. He loves his garden and usually never says no to helping out in the kitchen. Surprisingly though he’s my pickiest eater but I’m sure one day that will change, because he’s an amazing little chef. They both love to “invent” desserts, soups or salads, to experiment and think things up for themselves. I let them have at it as I get to test their creations, yummy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1569183740154-OUGN1POQUDO3JMIPLAGY/IMG_8974.jpeg Blog - Kids, Chores and Money We have an electric lawn mower. It’s battery operated and the two older kids can operate it themselves. I usually stay close by to supervise because we sometimes get strange looks from passing cars or neighbors haha. I guess it does look odd that they are hardly higher than the machine. Hubby goes along afterwards and does all the edges with the string trimmer, they aren’t big enough to operate that one yet. Same as with laundry, it doesn’t always get done perfectly and they miss a spot here or there but they are learning and I couldn’t be more proud of them! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1569184010029-JX0O0PNM956DJLW2AUAC/IMG_9089.jpeg Blog - Kids, Chores and Money We sure do get fancy cakes, cobblers, and crisps, breakfast and much much more from this little one.

I’m pregnant and we had a hot summer plus I’m kinda clueless lol. My mom and their daddy helped them get started and they were diligent about keeping up with it. I loved watching them work so hard. And tried hard to keep my amazement at bay when things actually grew and they had tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions and watermelon. It actually produced fruit, it wasn’t much but it grew! Some of their plants didn’t make it but it’s ok, it was a learning process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1569184077697-2AYHNZ1YGORR81STII8X/57359191618__2B9E35E2-431B-4602-ADB4-DBA3AF232994.jpeg Blog - Kids, Chores and Money https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1569183955729-QBWXN63PXG8RN5RFG0M8/IMG_9130.jpeg Blog - Kids, Chores and Money I love waking up to the smell of her amazing, made from scratch pancakes.

Here too, we have had some awesome conversations and learning experiences. My kids with cooking and cleaning and sharing their life and dreams with me. And me with allowing them to participate and help out. The other day in the midst of rushing to put dinner on the table and the chaos of noise and limited space, I found myself inwardly stepping back and taking in the moment. Thinking to myself how blessed I am to be surrounded by such wonderful and helpful kiddos. I caught myself because I used to think, that I would never ever enjoy having any extra people or noise in the kitchen. It’s still something I’m working on but i’m enjoying it more and more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551661200663-FB1KCLR2J715GJE34IHT/IMG_6567.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659907459-T3GMSU7M3XCF5TQXPMP8/IMG_0574.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper This room is an extra open room that we had downstairs. I love all the sunshine that comes in through the windows. Anyway a month after we moved into our home, we received some wonderful news about my one and only sister moving here to SC, all the way from Hawaii. Of coarse they would be staying with us for a little while, so we decided to take the open space in that room and add some walls to convert it into a bonus room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659830906-BL0X2T2DCRIW8OH61GYX/IMG_6036.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper It didn’t happen right away but after some time my sweet husband built me some gorgeous barn doors. I absolutely love them! In the beginning I thought I wanted the popular “open concept” kind of feel in my home but after a while I quickly realized that, that style doesn’t really work for me. Or at least not right now while the kids are still little. I personally like to close them behind the doors, while having some tea time with a friend. The more peace and quiet the better. haha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659871225-42VGHUFG84VOKL0P2M8H/IMG_6030.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper The lighter paint color, really made a difference at making the rooms feel much more spacious and open. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659035101-FW117HGPT2FA9AFW645N/IMG_0162.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551661106738-YJ35A1UH2XDH3N8FX7E3/IMG_6572.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659967565-QHBLHPSSOQJ1KGPUDMGW/IMG_6059.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551658930062-DL6PVN4X22AVOYRJSVAJ/IMG_0159.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1566930872149-ZW7ZFT2DGWTDQZ5V120O/IMG_8920.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551661148538-1GFR569S8ZVHLWS19YB4/IMG_6263.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper We also removed all the popcorn ceilings and my parents did an awesome paint job!

It is now 17 years old, not too old but did need a bit of an up date. So we all got to work! I love how our family came together and persevered for about a month, driving back and forth every day to work together on our family home. My parents and husband did soo much work. While I mostly helped out, here and there and tried to keep the kids out of the way. :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551658114212-5K4FGKT99A5N68OUC0KQ/IMG_0282.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551658958988-GHAU2MQEE7HDWFSMD8I3/IMG_0158.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper This is our tiny but yet functional little kitchen. Kyle added new cabinets on the right side, evens out the kitchens and gives us more cabinet space.

I love all the memories we’ve already made in this room. From special holidays with extended family, to every day dinners with our fast, growing kiddos. We sometimes do school here, mostly have “special tea time” with either guests, or just because my sweet kids want to surprise me with something they have baked. We’ve spent endless hours coloring and building legos, playing board/card games and just sitting around talking before rushing on with our day. I love the beautiful table my wonderful husband built for us and I’m looking forward to many more sweet memories made here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659092506-MPJ6CW7847LY27ISRW5L/IMG_0173.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1566934221593-1BPPC9V3KBHW80P01T96/IMG_0740.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659176167-M81BR7YSXRDQ4D7FF4FJ/IMG_0187.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551658755935-K7TSIHNG1H06MBGW6IC3/IMG_0161.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55222d03e4b0d8eff6346011/1551659940964-9P69NOXCWHXK2FHZT4DY/IMG_6056.jpeg Blog - Our little fixer upper They lived in this bedroom for a while and when they moved out, we turned it into our school room.
