We can’t all look good at the same time. It’s either me, the kids, or the house. How do you prioritize your day?
There are some days when you feel exhausted, wiped out, and frustrated. Other days, you’re a queen.

But what happens in the in-between?
- Constantly putting out fires, but not the ones you created.
- Being an umpire rather than a mom.
- Cleaning up the same area four times in one hour.
It is a challenge when you walk your everyday feeling defeated.
However, I must say this. You are not called to be the perfect mom with everything all put together and in it’s place.
You are called to care for your child or children so that you can live, love, and impact. All of the other stuff in life can wait.
Yes, maybe you have a pile of laundry on the table. Maybe you have dishes piles up. Maybe you have bags under your eyes for being up late.
What matters is not what looks good, but how you live your life.
So stop the overcompensating for your own reward or expectations. Focus on what matters and flex your simplicity muscle.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Flex your simplicity muscle!
We as moms have got to understand that priorities are not always what you see, but what is unseen.
You can’t afford to miss your children every day and notice who they are. You need to be involved in their lives. How everything looks and appears is surface-centered.
- LESS IS BEST – Don’t try to impress. You don’t have to be Superman, flying around doing everything in a matter of seconds. That’s not realistic, nor healthy. Focus on what works for you in the moment or for the day. Less is best.
- KINDNESS IS CONTAGIOUS – You and I are our worst critics. And when you become frustrated with yourself, then it is bound to show up in your tone, actions, and words to your family. How unfair to all of you. Be kind and lead with compassion. If you don’t get something done, is it really the end of the world? Then stop acting like it. You’ve got this! Kindness is contagious.
- SIMPLE IS POWERFUL – Complication can become our middle name. Stop looking for the hard way around things. Lean into the simple things that pave a path that becomes more powerful than you running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Flex your simplicity muscle by accepting the things you can’t change by changing the things you can control.
CHALLENGE: What area needs more attention when it comes to your simplicity muscle?
Is it the kids that are getting under your feet when cooking dinner? Is it the mess of the kids when you’re cooking dinner?
Or is it the fact that you didn’t get done what you wanted and you’re just crabby?
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
