Does your House Scare you?

Landry's piling up 
Ahh what will I wear


Food inside the fridge
Is growing like a bear


Bills left on the counter
Start to pile high


Stress is overwhelming
Reaching to the sky


Sure I can fix
If it is just one thing


But all of it together
My ears begin to ring


Things never happen
With space to spare


But come like an avalanche
I start to despair


What can I change
If I only have today


Tomorrow I’ll begin again
Its the mommy way

Do you ever find yourself trying to do everything? I know I'm guilty of this all the time. 

Jon Acuff recently had an amazing tweet.
I'm still pondering this question.

What do you need to cut out to have a peaceful and joyful life?

  3. It is amazing all that a mom needs to do in a day. I am finding myself more accepting of doing what I can each day and knowing that is enough. May you have peace as you navigate through motherhood & all its responsibilities!

  4. I don't do mess!! Never have :) I can remember teaching my boys when they were small to tidy up before going to bed which meant we always got up to a tidy house. I bought them colourful boxes to make the job more appealing! Now my sons are adults and they don't do mess either - perhaps its in our genes. I found managing the house so much easier when it wasn't messy.
