Busy Mom, Busy Life, Getting Real with Tidying -Up
Today is our kick-off of Busy Mom. Busy Life. – Get real with tidying post.
Here is the before and after shots of my totally messy kitchen. I completed the tidy session in 15 minutes using 5 minute timer increments. This proves that you can make a big impact in your home with 5 simple minute here and there throughout the day.
Here is the crazy embarrassing before shot. Yikes! But honestly, my kitchen looks like this every time we have homework and dinner session, which is basically 4 or 5 days a week.
Here is the after. A tidy kitchen that welcomes this crazy busy mom and invites her to sit down and have a cup of tea.
Simple Daily Challenge: Tidy up your kitchen! Then have a wonderful beverage of your choice that brings you joy.
Ok my kitchen looks like the before. can you share the HOW you did it part? Where did all the clutter GO? LOL I don’t know where to put it, so it stays out. Unless it already has a spot in one of the cabinets, it lives on the counter.
Hi Juie,
About every three months I go clutter busting crazy and try to eliminate anything that is not serving a purpose. I have learned that I am not happy in my kitchen space with too much stuff sitting around. I would love more counter space but this house cannot get bigger so the counters remain simile. (IMO)
Once I get rid of stuff things simple start to fit. Just yesterday I donated a red steamer dish that came with our microwave. I was a bulky item that I had never used. I had more shelf space in a instant!
Wow what an improvement! And what a gorgeous kitchen! I love when I clean a room and then just get to sit and relax in it. Such a great feeling.
Thank you, so far so good. lol 5 mintues are amazing when you can see results.
You’re right we can get a lot accomplished in small increments. That is a nice transformation too. I LOVE your kitchen.
Thank you Crystal, I enjoy it when it is clean. lol

I finally posted my spring cleaning tips and came to visit you from the comment you left on my previous post. I didn’t want to read any cleaning advice before I published it. I am seriously laughing at your definition of messy!
You did an amazing job! But I sincerely hope the other people who live with you also clean, and not just “help” you clean!
