... Read moreBeing a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) often means wearing many hats throughout the day, especially when it comes to managing household chores. You might start your morning intending to take some personal time, but quickly find yourself jumping into house resets and cleaning tasks as part of your daily routine. This sense of responsibility can sometimes feel like being a maid, but it’s important to remember that maintaining a clean and organized home can positively impact your mental well-being and set a peaceful environment for your family. Many moms in the #MomTok community share how they tackle their house cleaning schedules by breaking down tasks into manageable parts, such as doing a quick reset each morning or dedicating short bursts of time to specific areas of the home. These techniques help prevent feeling overwhelmed and allow time for self-care. Incorporating a #cleanwithme approach, where you engage with others virtually as they clean their homes, can be motivating and create a sense of camaraderie. It’s a way to make chores feel less isolating and more enjoyable. Balancing motherhood duties with housework requires both structure and flexibility. Using hashtags like #sahm and #housereset, moms can find relatable content and practical advice, fostering a supportive community where authentic daily experiences are shared. Remember, it’s okay to feel tired and it’s also okay to seek help or take breaks whenever necessary.

how to say no in a nice way 🥰
Telling someone “no” is not rude, it’s called setting a boundary!! and you can set boundaries in a polite way! it doesn’t have to be “rude” and if someone doesn’t understand or takes it the wrong way, that’s on them. Being a people pleaser is rude to yourself!! You are not putting yourself

Things I would NEVER say about 💰
Money is a *frequency* 🤑 & I CANNOT stress this enough. We don’t manifest what we want, we manifest how we feel. SO if we are always stuck in a LACK mindset we will manifest in more LACK. If you feel abundant & know money is coming in no matter what, that’s what you will attract.
