(This picture was taken over a year ago, aren't my kids adorable? I am so blessed!)
I am doing this blog to help others (who may also be in my predicament) and myself get motivated. My house used to be really clean when I was first married, after my 1st child, after my 2nd child,...kinda after my 3rd child, then after our 4th child our house was getting messier, now that we have 5 kids...HELP ME!
We have 3 biological kids and 2 adopted. Our last 2 are 18 months apart and it has been really difficult keeping up with things (to say the least). I am still in the stage where my babies come behind me and try to be "good helpers" by undoing the work that I have already done like dishes, laundry, etc. Now that our baby is getting older (she is almost 16 months now). I feel like I am waking up and seeing messes that I didn't realize were even there. Ha ha.
So, come along with me as I take my house back. I am going to be tidying up and organizing each area of my house. I am doing research on new tips and ideas to cut down on the time it takes to clean and organize. I want to get to the point where I just have to maintain, instead of cleaning take over my life.
Hopefully through a lot of prayer and good nights sleep I can be energetic enough to do this (along with the help of my kids and husband). I can make this weak area of my life become strong!
Signing off...

P.S. I am a Stout Mormon girl and have a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the Book of Mormon (Another testament of Jesus Christ, along with the bible) it says, "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27
