welcome to Motherhood and homemaking my
0:01
name is heaven and I'm super excited to
0:03
dive into today's video today I'm going
0:06
to be reorganizing my kitchen pantry as
0:09
you can see it has truly gotten out of
0:11
hand and one thing that makes my life a
0:14
whole lot easier is just having things a
0:17
little organized and things visible
0:20
where I can actually get to it so this
0:22
is long overdue I'm going to go ahead
0:24
and begin reorganizing and decluttering
0:26
my pantry clearing some things out that
0:29
we just know no longer need to have we
0:31
are on a mission to begin to eat
0:34
healthier and so we often have to go
0:37
through our pantry and make sure like we
0:40
are continuously striving at this which
0:42
means throwing out some of our snacks
0:45
and just little by little step by step
0:47
making things a little bit more healthy
0:50
in here for ourselves so with that we're
0:53
also going to be diving into week two of
0:56
our 30 days to a peaceful home and heart
0:59
challenge week two is all about
1:01
simplifying our schedule decluttering
1:04
basically like our mind and one thing
1:07
that typically gets to me is like
1:10
decision fatigue and just like
1:12
overthinking things and sometimes it's
1:15
just it's a lot so what we're going to
1:17
do this week is while I am doing the
1:20
pantry reorganization you guys can
1:23
either organize your pantry to find
1:25
something in your home that you can
1:27
clean or declutter today and while we do
1:29
that we also are going to be talking
1:31
about all of the seven tasks that were
1:34
included for week two of our 30-day
1:37
challenge so if you've been following
1:39
along with me in this challenge comment
1:41
down below and let me know I would love
1:43
to know how you guys are doing if you
1:45
guys are making progress and where you
1:46
are for week one I remember I did like
1:49
all seven things all at once all at one
1:53
day um especially because I kind of
1:55
wanted this to be like my February
1:57
Challenge and we were already heading
1:59
into week two so I got all of that done
2:01
in one day but for week two I took my
2:06
time and made sure that I did every
2:08
single day a little bit more slow so
2:11
let's dive into day one day one was to
2:14
eliminate one unnecessary commitment and
2:17
you know what when I did this you guys
2:19
it was such a huge weight off of my
2:22
shoulder the thing that I decided to
2:25
eliminate from my schedule and really
2:27
just from my life right now is a small
2:30
business it wasn't like just a small
2:32
thing that I eliminated it was a big
2:35
thing for me because this is a business
2:37
that I have had for about 4 years now so
2:41
when I initially started my small
2:43
business it was just it was just a hobby
2:45
it wasn't a business and once it became
2:47
a business it quickly began to grow
2:50
which really began to take a big chunk
2:53
out of my schedule my homemaking
2:55
motherhood and everything and so little
2:58
by little I started to realize that okay
3:00
this is really taking up a lot of my
3:01
time I don't know if this is something
3:03
that I can continue to do if I want to
3:04
deliver good quality product long story
3:07
short I have decided to retire my small
3:11
business maybe 5 years down the line
3:13
once my baby girl is older I can revisit
3:17
it but right now I'm pretty sure that
3:19
this is the choice that I need to make
3:21
I'm focusing on my content creation
3:24
right now and with that I'm also able to
3:28
continue my homemaking skills because
3:30
that's what my content creation is all
3:32
about motherhood and homemaking just
3:34
things that you know are a part of my
3:36
life right now and the small business
3:38
which was a cosmetic business where I
3:40
was just making natural hair and
3:42
skincare products it is a part of my
3:45
pre-m motherhood life because I I went
3:48
to school for cosmetology so I had a
3:51
cosmetology license I used to do hair
3:53
out of a salon but you guys I also have
3:56
a paralal degree where I went to school
3:59
as family law property law business law
4:02
all of those things you guys so there
4:03
are like little pieces lots of little
4:05
bits and pieces of me but the beauty
4:09
aspect came before all of that and I
4:12
kind of just stuck with it even though
4:15
as time progressed um I just feel like
4:17
it's just not for me anymore I'm 30
4:19
years old now and it's okay to make
4:21
changes so that is the one thing that I
4:24
eliminated and you know it's like even
4:25
when I told myself I was done with it I
4:27
was still catching myself not completely
4:29
complely letting go like I would save
4:31
all of the supplies and things just in
4:33
case I decided to pick it back up but
4:35
you guys on this day day one of my week
4:38
2 challenge I decided to throw it out
4:41
throw out the the tote through out
4:43
everything and that way I won't be able
4:45
to look back and it felt like a way off
4:47
of my shoulder completely for day two it
4:49
was to designate a tech-free hour each
4:52
day now day two is something that I do
4:55
already every single day or every single
4:58
morning when I wake up I say a prayer I
5:00
begin my devotion I do my Bible study
5:02
and then I dive right into blogging now
5:05
during that time which is actually 2
5:07
hours I sat my phone down because I'm
5:09
most productive that way and I just
5:10
don't pick it up so my tech free hour um
5:14
for day two was actually something that
5:16
I do every single day but if this is
5:17
something that you don't necessarily do
5:20
just try it out to set your phone down
5:22
your television your laptop whatever it
5:25
is for just one hour don't pick it up
5:27
don't scroll don't do anything just try
5:30
to either like me spend it during some
5:32
Bible study and you know just focus in
5:34
on that the 1 hour in the morning where
5:36
I'm doing my Bible study of my devotions
5:39
it's the most peaceful hour of my day to
5:41
be honest and then during the second
5:43
hour I'm using my laptop so that doesn't
5:45
count as my tech free time but yes that
5:47
1 hour on day two was my Bible time with
5:51
the Lord when I woke up in the morning
5:53
and it is highly beneficial and sets the
5:55
tone for the remainder of my day so for
5:58
day three it is to plan a slow and
6:00
restful evening with family for this I
6:03
dedicate Sundays to and you guys we
6:06
decided on Sunday to go out and make
6:09
s'mores and so I'll share some pictures
6:11
with you guys so that you guys can see
6:13
what that looked like for us and we love
6:16
to do this because it's like Sunday is
6:19
the day that it's like a rest day
6:21
nothing no cleaning no no work no
6:23
nothing just dedicate that time to the
6:25
Lord and to spend with family so for day
6:28
three for planning a slow and restful
6:31
evening with family that was a couple of
6:33
things so for one we did s'mores on
6:36
Sunday and then the other thing we did
6:38
is you know what we just went outside
6:40
after home school and we built a Snowman
6:43
and I didn't care how I was looking I
6:46
didn't care what we had going on for the
6:48
day we just decided to go out and just
6:52
Build a Snowman and that was so much fun
6:55
we came back in and we had hot chocolate
6:57
and warmed up in front of the fireplace
7:00
and it was really really nice especially
7:02
because we we've been diving into a
7:05
winter Joy plan which is just a plan
7:07
that's helping us to embrace the winter
7:09
season a bit more and to go out and just
7:11
experience a little bit of winter and
7:13
God's Beauty and his creation for the
7:15
next 6 weeks or 5 weeks now and so that
7:18
was really good for us day four in
7:22
simplifying our schedule and our 30-day
7:25
challenge of week two is to say no to
7:27
one thing that is not serve your
7:30
priorities this is a hard one for me the
7:32
big thing here for me was priorities I
7:35
have a really big goal there's a number
7:37
that I want to meet within my business
7:40
goals um blogging even content creation
7:43
and things like that I have a goal a
7:45
number that I want to meet but then
7:46
outside of that I also want to be done
7:49
with home school by April the 4th that
7:51
is the last day we plan to be home
7:53
schooling and so we can't miss a ton of
7:55
days if we want to meet that goal so
7:57
that we will be able to take our spring
7:59
vacation and then also I have been
8:02
really wanting to focus my mind and
8:06
things like that and I decided that
8:08
Sundays are going to be the days that I
8:10
just dedicate to my family and dedicate
8:12
to God because that one full day of God
8:15
and rest is really really helpful and
8:17
beneficial for me to get through the
8:19
rest of the week and so here's a thing
8:21
that I had to say no to it sadly was a
8:24
birthday party we tried to attend all
8:26
the birthday parties all the playdates
8:28
that we get invited to we really try to
8:30
do so this one was immediately after
8:32
church so we got out of church at like
8:34
12:30 and then the party started at
8:36
12:45 but it would take us a half an
8:38
hour to get there so not only would we
8:41
have been probably an hour late after
8:43
going home and changing out of our
8:44
church clothes and into our play clothes
8:46
and then driving there but then also it
8:48
was on a Sunday which is my rest day I
8:50
got time family time I needed to get
8:53
back home to prepar and there was a lot
8:55
of reasons and then it was a really cold
8:57
snow day there were a lot of reasons in
8:59
my mind that I knew that it wouldn't
9:01
work for us but I really wanted to go
9:04
because sometimes we do that it's okay
9:05
to do things for other people even if
9:07
it's not super convenient for us but I
9:10
just I just knew that it would be really
9:12
hard for me and that a lot of things
9:14
that I needed to do to prepare myself
9:16
for the upcoming week would be undone so
9:19
you guys I said no and luckily the mom
9:21
was understanding and we got the baby a
9:24
gift and things like that but that was
9:27
one thing that I had to say no to and I
9:29
think that that was a big one for me
9:31
because it's hard sometimes for me to
9:33
say no lately I've been really trying my
9:35
hardest to learn how to say no because
9:37
we want to do things to please people
9:39
and make people happy but sometimes you
9:41
know we just we kind of just can't and
9:43
that's okay so for number five it was to
9:45
set a morning or evening routine for
9:48
peace my morning routine I think I
9:51
shared a video of this with you guys and
9:54
I'll link it my morning routine
9:56
currently looks like this I wake up at
9:58
8:00 in the morning morning and I go and
10:01
get myself dressed say my prayer and
10:03
then I grab a cup of coffee and sit down
10:06
and do my Bible studies in devotion for
10:08
1 hour or until 9:00 at 9:00 I do 1 hour
10:13
of work on my laptop writing articles
10:16
anything that I need to do pertaining to
10:18
my blog website and then around 10:00 I
10:21
stop and I tend to my daughter get her
10:23
ready for the day and then head
10:25
downstairs hopefully by 11:00 I am
10:28
preparing a brunch for the family so
10:31
that my son can then begin getting
10:33
himself together come down and eat and
10:35
then we can begin our school a day by
10:38
12:00 that is what my morning routine
10:41
consists of as far as the peaceful part
10:44
of it I think that 1 hour of God time is
10:47
the most peaceful part of my entire day
10:50
and so that is something that I have
10:52
tried to prioritize within my morning
10:54
routine in the summertime I would love
10:56
to incorporate a morning walk sitting
10:59
out on the patio to do my Bible study
11:02
things like that but with it being cold
11:03
just sitting in the corner of my room
11:05
that's my piece so if you don't have
11:09
like something peaceful in your morning
11:11
or evening routine I highly recommend
11:13
you do it for some people it's best at
11:15
night once everyone is asleep just
11:17
depends for me in the morning I feel
11:18
like I need it because it'll help me to
11:21
have a better mindset for the remainder
11:22
of the day so you know just see if
11:25
there's some way that you can just do
11:26
something that gives you a bit of peace
11:29
within your morning or evening routine
11:31
number six is to unsubscribe from
11:34
unnecessary emails I actually sat down
11:37
and I just scroll to see what emails I'm
11:40
getting and I get a lot of emails and
11:42
this is something that I've been needing
11:43
to do considering Google Now makes you
11:46
pay for like Gmail space Google photos
11:49
Google Docs all that stuff you have to
11:50
pay for your space so this was something
11:52
I needed to do anyway so I did
11:53
unsubscribe from some unnecessary emails
11:56
but another thing that I did was
11:57
actually begin to like unfriend and
12:00
unfollow some social media accounts so
12:03
if there are any accounts that I'm
12:04
scrolling down and I feel like there's
12:06
some bit of negativity or just something
12:08
that doesn't align with my current
12:11
season of life I just so politely
12:14
unfollow those accounts and then number
12:16
seven was to plan your meals for the
12:17
week so that you can reduce stress this
12:20
is also something that really was so
12:23
helpful for me and I didn't sit down
12:27
with like a notebook and Pen like I am
12:29
planning to do actually today we have to
12:32
do groceries so you guys are going to
12:34
have a grocery haul coming up as well
12:37
this week I think either this week or
12:40
next week probably this week I have a
12:41
grocery haul coming up for you guys on
12:43
Thursday and so I want to sit down and
12:45
figure out what I actually want to have
12:48
in my groceries so I'm going to sit down
12:51
with pen and paper and do this for the
12:53
entire month but I actually did this on
12:55
day seven for like the upcoming week so
12:57
the week that basically just hats and it
12:59
was actually pretty easy instead of
13:01
sitting down with a book I knew that I
13:03
wasn't doing a grocery shopping haul or
13:05
anything like that yet so instead I just
13:06
looked in my freezer to check and see
13:08
what I had in there I had a few
13:10
different things in there so I was like
13:12
okay I know that I can use this to make
13:13
some orange chicken and some R like a
13:16
Asian meal and then I was like okay I
13:18
know that we have this and I can make
13:20
some pasta with the shrimp and then I
13:23
can make some steak and potatoes with
13:25
the steak strips so basically I just sat
13:27
down and say okay these are the four
13:28
meals I'm going to be preparing this
13:30
week and then Saturday we actually just
13:32
had a piece of night and so that was how
13:33
I planned out my meals for the week I
13:35
already knew what was in the fridge and
13:36
I already wrote it down put a little
13:38
note in my phone and said this is what
13:39
we have this is what you're going to be
13:41
making this week so oh my goodness that
13:43
only literally took me 5 minutes instead
13:45
of like going down one by one and saying
13:47
what am I going to cook today I just
13:48
went down and looked in there and said
13:50
what am I going to cook this week and
13:51
again that just took me 5 minutes and
13:54
just not having to think about that
13:56
every single day was so helpful so that
13:58
something that I also highly recommend
14:01
that you do that's what my week look
14:04
like of me simplifying my schedule and
14:07
it's definitely was very beneficial let
14:10
me know how it went for you guys or if
14:11
you haven't tried this and if you didn't
14:13
see week one of the 30day so peaceful
14:17
home in heart I'm going to make sure
14:18
that I link that video for you guys as
14:20
well and I highly recommend that you
14:22
guys check it out down below I'll leave
14:24
a link to where you can actually go and
14:26
download the full plan and have it for
14:28
your own
14:29
you know access and you can print it out
14:32
you can have it in your Fon you can
14:33
follow along week three is going to be a
14:36
mindset Shi we're going to be talking a
14:39
little bit more about social media we're
14:41
going to be talking about gratitude
14:42
impulse shopping which oh my goodness
14:45
this is something I have to do I really
14:48
need to more enjoyment with family
14:51
letting go of comparison a little bit
14:53
more in depth simplifying our to-do list
14:56
a little bit more we're going to be
14:58
letting go over a few more things and
15:01
then we're going to talk more about like
15:02
God time and the importance of that so
15:05
basically like embracing contentment
15:07
just give you guys an idea of what we're
15:09
going to be talking about and diving
15:11
into next week but M's pantry is looking
15:15
a little bit better I think I'm okay
15:18
with this I'm going to be able to now do
15:19
some grocery shopping this week and I
15:22
can now see and know what we actually
15:24
have and what you know I don't have to
15:27
purchase what I do have to purchase and
15:29
that's going to be really helpful for
15:30
creating my plan so I hope that you guys
15:33
