Why is it some days I seem to have so much motivation, and others I wish Nathan and I could just go curl up and take a nap? We actually did do that the other day. We had a busy and fun weekend up north at the in laws, and I was wiped. I love that my baby loves to snuggle and cuddle.
We went to swimming lessons this morning, and I'm trying to work up motivation to go clean upstairs but instead I'm sitting here on the computer. Nathan's happy now, so it's a good time to clean. I feel like many of the moms I know don't struggle the way I do to keep the house clean, and I wonder why that is. Am I doing something wrong? It's frustrating because I think I'm the only one in this house who really wants it clean. My kids don't naturally clean up after themselves and have to be reminded. Does anyone have any tips or advice for me? I've done a lot of decluttering, and it's still not there. Our home isn't huge...1500 square feet plus a finished basement and storage room. But people used to live (and many still do!) with far less than that.
Anyway, nothing is getting done while I sit here. Nathan still doesn't move very far (rolls and army crawls in circles), so he can hang out near me while I clean and declutter. Please feel free to comment. How do you keep up, or do you?

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you but I'm in the same boat! Only that I wish the house would magically self-clean bc I hate cleaning!! Anyway, I hope someone responds b/c my house is literally a wreck. Like you I declutter & attempt to organize but it always seems to get back to the way it was so that makes me feel like not doing much....
I literally have to have a few separate moments of schedules and stick to them. I give myself two or three times of 10 minute pickups during baby einstein. I use disinfectant wipes like they were golden cleaning rags. And the rest of the mess? I remind myself when my kids are older my house will be spotless and my arms will feel a little more empty!
makes me feel better about having a messy house at least!
