hi friends and welcome to Motherhood and
0:02
motivation today we are going to be
0:04
doing a monthly reset I am basically
0:08
going to be going through the house and
0:09
doing some things that is going to set
0:10
me up for success for the month of
0:13
February this is something that I like
0:15
to do every single month and whether I
0:18
do meet that goal or not it's always
0:21
always a plan and whenever I do it it
0:24
always does actually make the following
0:26
month a bit easier for me so I'm going
0:29
to just go ahead and be honest and say
0:30
that I kind of just do not feel like
0:32
doing this today but even if you don't
0:35
feel like it do it anyway because again
0:38
it's going to set you up for Success the
0:40
following month and sometimes it's just
0:43
those little things that we can do even
0:45
in those moments that we don't feel like
0:47
it that's going to help us not to carry
0:49
that stress and overwhelm into the
0:51
following month so I can just sit around
0:52
today and say I really don't feel like
0:54
doing that today and then come next week
0:57
on Monday I have less time to do it
1:00
because today is Saturday Monday we
1:01
begin home school tomorrow we have
1:03
church and then you know I'm never
1:04
really going to feel like I have the
1:06
time for it and I'm never going to feel
1:08
like I actually want to do it so by
1:10
getting some things done today it's just
1:12
going to make the rest of the week and
1:15
the upcoming month a lot easier for me
1:17
so if you don't feel like it I recommend
1:19
that you get up and do it anyway because
1:21
that is the theme for today's video even
1:24
if do it anyway even if you don't feel
1:27
like it do it anyway because we can can
1:30
do hard things and today I'm encouraging
1:32
you to do the hard things if it's going
1:33
to be beneficial for you in the long run
1:35
so if you're new here my name is heaven
1:37
and I'm a motherhood and homemaking
1:39
vlogger I take you guys along my faith
1:41
walk as I journey through motherhood and
1:44
homemaking hoping that I can inspire you
1:46
and some way to make homemaking and
1:48
motherhood a little bit easier for you
1:50
my goal is to just use my platform in my
1:53
channel to put a little bit of
1:55
inspiration and joy out there in the
1:57
world because there's a lot of stress
1:59
and overwhelming that is just going on
2:02
every single day especially right now in
2:05
the world so much is going on so I just
2:08
hope that when you come to my channel
2:09
you have a breath of fresh air and that
2:12
it's inspiring and motivational and it
2:14
just helps us to stay motivated in those
2:17
things that we just have to do every
2:19
single day so if you're looking for some

2:47
let's go ahead and get into today's
2:49
monthly reset just an overall broad
2:52
spectrum of what we're going to be doing
2:54
today I have to do some decluttering so
2:56
the goal here is first to declutter
3:00
12 things now if you have a lot more
3:02
decluttering to do inside of your home I
3:05
did a full whole house declutter which I
3:07
am going to share that with you guys you
3:09
can find it linked in the top hand
3:11
corner or down below in the description
3:13
box and in that time I just decluttered
3:16
a lot of stuff it took me at least a
3:18
week to get that done and so now to make
3:20
sure that I'm staying on top of the
3:22
accumulation of mess my goal is to
3:25
accumulate 12 things every single month
3:28
set your number of according to what
3:30
your home is looking like if you have a
3:31
lot of clutter you might want to go
3:33
ahead and just declutter 10 or 12 things
3:35
per room for me right now the goal is to
3:38
just accumulate 10 to 12 things per
3:41
month throughout the entire home that's
3:42
what I'm going to be doing today as well
3:44
as changing some of the lining I have to
3:46
do a lot of laundry folding and laundry
3:48
res set and then there just a few more
3:50
things that I like to do to set myself
3:52
up success in terms of like planning out
3:54

3:57
content planner my budgeting all of the
3:59
sorts so let's just go ahead and get

6:26

6:31
this is all we got
6:34
show show
6:36
[Music]
6:46
me all right so now that I've got the
6:48
bed made up it is time for me to do some
6:50
decluttering so normally I use like a
6:52
huge like construction garbage bag for
6:55
this like the big thick extra large
6:57
black ones but I cannot find them so I'm
7:00
going to try to fill up like two garbage
7:02
bags and I'm starting inside of my
7:05
closet to see if there's anything that I
7:07
can find in here like clothing maybe or
7:09
something that I'm just not wearing
7:15
anymore
7:17
show
7:19
show show show this
7:26
is so I found three shirts that I
7:29
haven't worn worn and forever and if I
7:31
did wear it I just really wasn't a huge
7:33
fan of it like I remember this pinky
7:34
white shirt I bought it for like a quick
7:36
last minute event that we had it wasn't
7:38
a shirt that I would probably purchase
7:40
like normally but I needed whatever
7:42
would come to me the fastest so I found
7:44
this one then are like two other shirts
7:46
that I wore just barely ever I'm going
7:49
to go ahead and get rid of these now I
7:50
haven't really been a fan of them
7:54
[Music]
8:10
[Music]
8:14
so the goal was 12 things and pretty
8:18
sure I pulled out more than that like I
8:20
can always find a good amount of stuff
8:21
inside of my closet so I feel like I'm
8:24
going to have to do a full closet
8:25
declutter video soon but I'm just going
8:28
to count the clothes that's
8:30
like I don't know one thing maybe as far
8:34
as like category purposes go so I was
8:37
able to find some shoes like little
8:38
slippers in n's room clothing inside of
8:41
my room my next goal is to go down into
8:44
the basement and see if I can find some
8:45
things down there to declutter because
8:47
that's where we have like things that
8:49
are like a little bit bigger and take up
8:50
more space so there were a lot of things
8:52
in the basement that I found that needed
8:54
to be decluttered or tossed away we had
8:57
like a bag that was keeping blanket
8:59
inside of it and somehow I don't know
9:01
what happened but underneath it was kind
9:03
of like wet so I pretty much threw away
9:05
everything in there except for the
9:07
blanket that was at the very top and
9:09
then I had some empty bins that I used
9:11
to throw away and I took those two empty
9:13
bands and I just filled it with things
9:15
that we were no longer using like some
9:17
hampers that were just taking up space
9:20
literally just random things definitely
9:22
more than what I could fit inside the
9:23
two bags so I have two totes two hampers
9:27
some blankets some clothing items a
9:29
couple of the kits or baby things and
9:31
then a couple of like random things from
9:33
the Basin so the cluttering is
9:34
definitely done but I also wanted to go
9:36
through our kitchen cabinets and get rid
9:38
of a couple of the plates that every
9:39
time I take them out of the dishwasher
9:41
they have like this FM on it like this
9:43
gray FM so I'm thinking that I'm going
9:44
to declutter those as well we have
9:47
enough plates in the time being and the
9:49
way I like to do it is if you don't love
9:51
it you don't necessarily need it get rid
9:53
of it that sounds you know wasteful to
9:54
some people but I feel like it gets rid
9:56
of like clutter and stress so I am going
9:59
to take a break and take care of the
10:01
sweet girl here because my darling has
10:04
woken up I still have to clean out the
10:06
fridge fold up a ton of laundry and do
10:09
my monthly planning so still so much
10:11
more to do all right so now that I got
10:13
the bed made up the linen changed out
10:16
and did some decluttering throughout the
10:18
house I felt like I have definitely
10:20
refreshed the home a little bit for the
10:22
upcoming month but one of the most
10:25
important things I feel like for me when
10:27
it comes to resetting for the month is
10:29
is definitely doing my monthly planning
10:31
and this used to not be extremely
10:33
important for me but this is definitely
10:35
in like the top three things that I must
10:37
do so for me when it comes to resetting
10:40
for the month the three things that I
10:41
absolutely must do are my grocery
10:46
shopping my decluttering and my monthly
10:50
planning and my monthly planning
10:51
includes like my budgeting and things
10:53
like that it even includes my meal
10:55
planning and meal prep all of those
10:58
things the things that I didn't include
10:59
are typically things that I just need to
11:01
do every single week to have a more
11:05
productive week so when it comes to
11:07
grocery shopping obviously we're going
11:08
to need you know some food to eat
11:11
throughout the month and sitting down in
11:13
the beginning or at the end of the month
11:14
and doing a full meal plan and getting
11:17
all of the groceries that we're going to
11:19
need for the month just makes it easier
11:20
that I'm not out every single week after
11:23
grocery store or forgetting to order
11:25
some of the groceries that we need not
11:27
knowing what's inside of the freezer it
11:28
just exemplifies me preparing dinner and
11:31
breakfast for my family throughout the
11:33
entire month that way when I sit down to
11:36
do my weekly planning I can just refer
11:39
back to the monthly meal plan that I
11:42
made to see what we already have in the
11:44
freezer and just bring some things up
11:46
from the deep freezer and put it into
11:48
the main freezer as opposed to doing
11:51
this whole grocery shopping thing every
11:52
single week which is just exhausting
11:55
especially if you have a large family or
11:57
if you have children that you have to
11:59
you know tend to on a daily basis or
12:01
take them out with you to the store so
12:03
doing my grocery shopping once per month
12:07
and just getting the bulk of what we
12:08
need works best for me and then if we
12:11
run out of like dairy products which we
12:13
just don't take in a lot of dairy in the
12:15
first place but fruits vegetables
12:17
produce and things like that when we run
12:19
out of that I'll just order more of that
12:21
opposed to having to order everything so
12:24
it just makes my life a lot easier as
12:27
far as preparing meals through the month
12:30
go and then with the decluttering it
12:32
makes cleaning a lot easier for me
12:34
throughout the month I don't really
12:36
enjoy spending an entire day cleaning
12:38
out the home and even if I did I just
12:41
feel like it wouldn't be the most
12:42
productive way for me to manage my time
12:45
being that I'm also a homeschool mom I
12:48
have two children one that's under the
12:51
age of one as well as being a content
12:53
creator and just wanting to just spend
12:56
time with my family I had to manage my
12:58
time a whole lot better so my goal is
13:01
that it will never take me more than 20
13:03
minutes to clean a room especially
13:05
because with having a baby sometimes you
13:09
just don't get that full 1 hour no
13:12
distraction time to clean but I might
13:15
get short bursts of like 20 minutes
13:17
where I can say okay I have a quick 20
13:19
minutes let me go ahead and clean this
13:21
room and if you know I have an extra 20
13:24
minutes I can clean you know another
13:26
room and then when I do like my full
13:28
clean cleaning reset at the end of the
13:31
week in 1 hour I should be able to clean
13:34
my entire home that's just how I feel
13:36
about cleaning these days is like I
13:38
should be able to clean each room within
13:40
20 minutes and some of them less like a
13:45
bathroom or something I feel like it
13:46
shouldn't even take 20 minutes to clean
13:48
a bathroom just some things I just feel
13:50
like should go pretty quickly if I'm
13:53
given an hour and a half I want to be
13:54
able to do a whole house clean so
13:57
decluttering just makes clean cleaning a
13:59
lot easier a lot shorter and it just
14:02
helps me with staying on top of the mess
14:04
it also helps me with staying on top of
14:06
my goal to live a little bit more
14:08
minimal every single month the more and
14:10
more I declutter the more and more I
14:12
lean more into that intentionality of
14:15
simple living and being more intentional
14:17
as a mom and a wife and everything so
14:19
decluttering has become just a big big
14:21
thing for me where I'm just constantly
14:24
these days trying to see how much more
14:27
can I simplify my life my mind my
14:30
homemaking everything that I do so that
14:32
I can spend my time doing things that
14:34
are going to be much more enjoyable more
14:37
memorable I would rather go outside and
14:39
play outside with my son versus stay in
14:42
the house and clean all day so that's
14:43
just how you know it's been going for me
14:45
over here so with the planning that's
14:49
another thing that just simplifies my
14:51
entire month I used to have separate
14:53
planners for everything I would have a
14:54
budget planner and then I would have a
14:56
separate planner for meal planning I
14:58
would have a separate one for work as
15:00
well as a separate one for homeschool
15:01
and I Consolidated that with the
15:03
exception of homeschool I just bought
15:05
like a little Journal it's a leather
15:07
bound small Journal that's not super big
15:09
and bulky and I use that journal for
15:12
everything I have dividers in it and I
15:14
just put out different like categories
15:16
so one divider would say budgeting one
15:19
says home one for personal one for Bible
15:21
study one for budgeting one for Content
15:24
planning one for meal planning for
15:26
vacation planning like literally
15:27
everything I also have like a calendar
15:29
in here and then I also have like a
15:31
little money envelope and you guys funny
15:33
story this here little yellow folder I
15:35
used to use it just for like work
15:37
production it just has like a long sheet
15:39
of things that I like to read every
15:41
single morning to help me stay motivated
15:42
throughout the day throughout the week
15:44
throughout the month it has a few of my
15:46
favorite scriptures a few of my favorite
15:48
like motivational quotes on it and one
15:50
day NAA grabbed his folder and started
15:52
like chewing on the edge of it so then
15:54
no was like here I'll help he grabbed
15:56
the folder and was like I'm going to go
15:57
rinse it off so yeah now the ink is like
16:00
bleeding and everything so that just
16:02
wasn't working out so that is being
16:05
moved over to my Consolidated Journal as
16:08
well so within this time frame I have
16:11
basically done my full meal plan I've
16:13
done my budgeting and my content
16:15
planning and Consolidated or moved over
16:18
my daily like worksheet that I like to
16:21
look at every morning into one journal
16:24
with having done all of that every
16:26
single week I will do like a little bit
16:28
bit of a deep clean at the end of each
16:30
week at the beginning of each week I
16:33
will have a Sunday rest day every single
16:35
morning I do my Bible studies and
16:37
devotions but on Sunday I like to devote
16:39
an entire day versus just a morning or
16:41
an evening to the Lord as well as
16:43
spending that time with my family
16:45
laundry and things like that I do weekly
16:46
like there are a lot of things that I
16:48
just do every single week but then every
16:51
single month these three things I just
16:52
feel like I just absolutely have to do
16:54
them just to have a better month and
16:56
