    ABOUT MOTHERHOOD SIMPLIFIED

    I’m a mom just like you who has decluttered her entire home. I have 5 children, have lived all over the US with them (Alaska, Florida, Idaho, SoCal, the midwest) and I have been clutter free for more than a decade - and have STAYED clutter free!

    I don’t teach decluttering in theory, and I will never ask you to do something in your home that I have not done myself.

    All the tips and strategies you find in this course have worked for thousands of other moms.

    I’m here to help you find that sweet spot of having enough, but not too much, so you can feel less stressed in your home.

    Love,

  • Here’s how I use Bark with my own kids and why it’s been such a game changer: (try bark right here https://barkparentalcontrols.pxf.io/c/5160003/2153860/17000)

    Comprehensive Monitoring: Bark monitors texts, emails, YouTube, and even 30+ social media platforms. But the best part? It flags potential issues like cyberbullying, inappropriate content, online predators, or signs of depression or anxiety. I can’t tell you how relieved I was when Bark caught a concerning text exchange before it became a bigger issue. Yes, you can monitor kids text messages, with a degree of privacy for them.

    Custom Alerts: This is where the app shines for moms who don’t have time to micromanage every app or conversation. Bark sends you a notification only if something needs your attention. That means I don’t have to waste time scrolling through endless messages or posts—it’s already done for me!

    Balance Between Safety and Privacy: One thing I’m always conscious of is how I approach my kids’ privacy. I want them to have freedom, but I also want to protect them. Bark strikes the perfect balance by not spying on every detail but giving me enough insight when something’s off. It helps create trust between you and your kids, so they don’t feel like you’re constantly “big brother-ing” their every move.

    In my opinion Bark is much better than Qustudio or Famisafe based on how dedicated they are to keeping kids safe online.

  • Now, I know that phrase, “throwing everything I own away,” can sound a little drastic. But I’m here to tell you that in 2013, as a family of five, we did exactly that. We packed up a single suitcase for each of us and moved from Alaska to Florida, leaving behind all the clutter. It was a monumental shift for my family, one that I had no idea would lead to such profound mental health benefits.

    Let me walk you through how we did it, why we did it, and what it changed for me, especially as a mom.

    ► 💻ONE OF THE VERY FIRST THINGS I DID AFTER I DECLUTTERED WAS START THERAPY. HERE'S A GREAT ONLINE COUNSELING TO TRY:

    https://onlinetherapy.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=2&aff_id=4059

    There are a lot of online therapy platforms out there, and this one I trust. I will be completing an online-therapy.com review shortly, and doing it in comparison to my betterhelp review. It's hard to find an online counselor you can trust, and I know recommendations like this can be really helpful. Therapy online has become very normal, and useful, especially for moms.

    Listen in as I share my ever-evolving journey with daily household chores, specifically the dishwashing routine that has shifted to accommodate my family's current work-from-home and schooling dynamic. I explore how life's different seasons demand flexibility in our routines, and I'll walk you through our current dish cycle which includes a nightly reset by my diligent 12-year-old son, a strategic midday run, and my morning unloading ritual. I also stress the importance of having a manageable number of dishes to keep the kitchen chaos at bay and how sustainable practices can be achieved through self-correcting habits, such as avoiding disposable paper plates.

    Moving from the kitchen to the entryway, I offer insights on organizing shoes and beauty products, especially for those with large families. You'll get a glimpse into my personal approach to managing footwear for my family of six, where each person is allocated a daily pair and a seasonal pair to minimize clutter. I also talk about how we handle the allure of adorable, non-essential shoes for the little ones, balancing indulgences with spatial and financial realities. For more tailored solutions, I highlight the creative ideas from the Motherhood Simplified group, underlining the benefits of intentional purchases and storage solutions. Tune in for these practical tips that could revolutionize the way you manage your household's daily grind.
