I Stop and Ask Myself these Three Things
No worries the meal plan is coming later today but of course I had to let you know that The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle is available starting now until next Monday the 27th.
You know I have been a homemaker now for almost 20 years.....crazy huh! What's even more crazy is that I figured by the time I had 20 years experience I would be a pro. But that was a while back.... somewhere along the way I started to realize that I was probably never going to measure up.
You see I didn't realize it at the time but I had created some pretty unrealistic expectations for myself add to that a pretty good dose of PMS (that I didn't really understand at the time) and the life I had always dreamed of having seemed so far from my grasp.
Or was it? Looking back I don't even like to think about all the time I spent and still sometimes spend in burn-out, overwhelm, mommy guilt mode. I think though with practice I'm better at not letting it happen so often and not too long ago I had the realization that I have been living the life of my dreams. This is exactly what I wanted when I was a little girl and still just what I want today!
Here is what I'm learning to do:
When I start to head down that path of if only, comparing, worrying what others are thinking and just plain busyness cause I said yes to one too many things. I stop and ask myself these three things:
- Is what I am thinking true or am I just playing the automatic records in my head? (for example "My husband works so much because he doesn't like being at home." I had to stare that one down years ago and can you imagine my relief when I discovered it simply was. NOT. true.)
- Will this matter tomorrow? (so many things just really don't matter when you give them another 24 hours....we probably shouldn't waste our time and energy on them....so that would rule out, "Hurry we are going to be late!" It aint gonna matter tomorrow probably better save that energy for what will matter tomorrow.)
- What does doing my best look like today? (I have been learning to get more real with myself and others, especially my husband and kids and let them know the days that my Super Woman cape needs to be hanging up. So often we as women expect to have the same energy each day and get as much done today as yesterday.....I think we need to drop that. We forget that we have cycles...some days we may churn through that to-do list and then other days it may seem overwhelming just to smile.....I say if the best you got for today is a smile consider it a productive day and don't beat yourself up about it. And yeah I'm well aware that there may even be days where you don't even have that much.)
I guess this is just my way of saying I've been there....I'm still there......I understand and I truly want to help. It's so easy to get caught up in all the mundane that we forget to "Sharpen the Saw" as Steven Covey would say.
That's why when I was asked to be a part of The Ultimate Homemaking Bundle again I was thrilled. I love to expose myself to others who are right there in the trenches too...... Wives, Mothers, and Homemakers, learning from their experiences and struggles. I feel a little less alone and become so inspired and motivated. Honestly I also get a little overwhelmed by all that there is but I have learned to just pick and choose and find what benefits me right now in my season. (*More about that below!) My focus this year has been on the organization, de-cluttering and purging resources because.....well right now that's what I need a bit of help with. ;)
I really feel like there is some excellent stuff in here I have had a month now to look a lot of it over and I think there is something for every kind of homemaker. INCLUDING LOTS OF HEALTHY RECIPES AND MENU PLANS!

I think Laura Ingalls Wilder said it best…“Just as a little thread of gold, running through a fabric, brightens the whole garment, so women’s work at home, while only the doing of little things, is just like the golden gleam of sunlight that runs through and brightens the whole fabric of civilization.”
