I'm sure that any parent completely understand how your house can go from nice and pretty to completely destroyed in a matter of seconds. When life is busy and work is busy, adding our little darlings just adds to the business. It seems that children, no matter what their age, can always bring a little (welcomed) chaos into our lives.
Which is the exact reason I love Cara's
31 day series over at Red House Dry Goods:
Cara begins her series discussing the "why" she decided on this topic. She address issues such as to-do- lists, knowing your limits, adjusting your expectations, and just how to simply get a little more organization for your life. One of favorites new quotes came out of day 11:
I LOVED this! Let's be honest, how often do we, especially as moms, say "Yes" to too many things? I do it all the time! "Yes" to hosting baby showers, "yes" to baking for the school bake sale, "yes" to being a room mom, "yes" to sewing an outfit for a friend, "yes" to volunteering at the church event... I can admit is, I am a "YES" girl! But it adds so much added stress, and often makes me run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Its ok to not participate in everything! It's OK to set limits!
So I hope that you enjoy Cara's series as much as I did, and learn a bit too about how to calm some of the chaos that surrounds your life. Just think, the less chaotic, the more we can to truly ENJOY our everyday surroundings!

Isn't that the truth?!? As moms, we have to sometimes learn to say no. Thanks for the reminder!
I've loved this idea! What a rabbit trail I've gotten into checking out all of your 31 days collections! I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome reads and say "HI!" because we are neighbors in the write 31 days linkups!
