Normalizing my normal home.

I love my home so much: HOWEVER

I find myself judging my home based on the things I see online. I am working to reframe the internal thoughts I say to myself about my home and lifestyle.

For Example:

Dust bunnies reframed to “I am blessed to live a life so full and busy, that I haven’t had time to dust.”

Frozen pizza for dinner means I’m lazy reframed too “ I am having a simple dinner today because I accomplishes other tasks instead today and I deserve to rest.”

Do you reframe? If so, what do you say to yourself.

I am loving this normalizing trend.

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the curated images of perfection we see online. The concept of normalizing one's home involves accepting imperfections and celebrating the busy, real lives we lead. By reframing our thoughts, we can shift from self-criticism to self-love. For example, instead of seeing "dust bunnies" as a sign of neglect, we can view them as evidence of a life well-lived, full of activity and love. Similarly, opting for frozen pizza shouldn't be a mark of laziness, but rather a moment to acknowledge the accomplishments of a busy day, allowing ourselves time to relax and recharge. This movement encourages individuals to connect with others seeking to reject unrealistic standards and embrace authenticity. Participating in discussions using hashtags like #normalizenormalhomes and #cozyhomeaesthetic invites a community of support, where everyone can share their experiences and affirmations. Let’s reshape how we view our lives and homes—celebrating the beautiful chaos of our daily realities.

It’s not just about the decor, it’s about the energy. A clean, calming space that makes you want to stay in, unwind, and breathe a little deeper. When you walk through the door, the world should quiet down. The stress melts. The chaos pauses. Your home should hold you gently, like your favorite b

Things normalized in motherhood that aren’t normal
There’s a-lot more we go through that stays unsaid. We need to share more of those realistic moments and know we are all struggling in the same way, it’s sad that society has made these common and normalized in motherhood. It’s just another reason to believe that we are amazing.🩷
