Things I Notice First When I Walk Into a Cluttered Home — Part 2

One of the biggest mistakes I see with organizing systems is that they require too many steps.

A beautiful system isn't automatically a functional system.

If it requires too much effort, too much remembering, too many decisions or too many steps...

People will eventually stop using it.

And then we blame the person.

But sometimes the person isn't the problem.

The system is.

A functional organizing system should make the right thing easier to do.

Not require you to become a completely different person to maintain it.

Function over perfection. Every time.

Hiring a Professional Organizer Can Help Reduce Your Mental Load

Your mental load isn't only reduced by becoming more productive.

Sometimes it's reduced by having less to think about.

Less clutter to manage.

Fewer decisions to make.

Systems that make sense.

Realistic expectations.

Shared responsibility.

And sometimes... getting help.

I loved what my aunt recently said after hiring someone to clean her home.

She felt guilty at first because she was capable of doing it herself.

But eventually she realized:

Being capable of doing something and needing to do everything yourself are two very different things.

I felt the same way postpartum with my second when we hired someone to deep clean our house.

And that's one reason I believe hiring a professional organizer can help reduce mental load too.

Not because your house needs to look perfect.

Not because you need to become a minimalist.

And definitely not because we're coming to judge you.

We're there to help you create a home that functions better for your real life.

Sometimes that means finding homes for homeless clutter.

Sometimes it means changing a system.

Sometimes it means working with your natural tendencies.

Sometimes it means questioning expectations you've been putting on yourself.

And sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is let someone else help.

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you have to do it alone.

Questions to Ask Beyond “How Are You?” — Part 1

A couple of years ago, I realized I always had so much going on in my own head that I wanted to become better at asking questions.

Not because I wanted to sound interesting.

Because I wanted to become more interested.

I wanted to deepen the relationships I already had by learning more about what was actually happening inside the lives of the people I care about.

So I started paying attention to better questions.

Questions that move beyond:

“How are you?”

“Good.”

And then awkward silence. 😂

Here are a few of my favourites.

What question would you add?

Is It Actually a Task... or Is It a Project?

I learned this concept from April Perry with LearnDoBecome during continued education for my professional organizing business, and it immediately made sense.

A lot of the things on our to-do lists aren't actually tasks.

They're projects.

And there's a big difference.

A task might involve one decision and be completed in one session.

A project requires multiple decisions, multiple sessions, planning, coordination or delayed completion.

And I think this matters because we often write:

“Deep clean the bathroom.”
“Set up the nursery.”
“Plant the garden.”
“Prep the yard for winter.”

On a to-do list as if they're simple tasks.

Then we're surprised when they take days or weeks.

You're not necessarily bad at getting things done.

You may just need to stop expecting projects to behave like tasks.

Things I Notice First When I Walk Into a Cluttered Home — Part 1

Clutter tells a story.

As a professional organizer, I'm not walking into your home judging you.

I'm looking for patterns.

Where is clutter collecting?
What keeps getting left out?
Where do people naturally drop their things?

Because those answers can tell me whether:
• something doesn't have a home
• the system isn't easy enough to maintain
• the home isn't supporting natural habits
• or the family has simply outgrown the system

A functional home doesn't force you to act like a completely different person.

The system should work with the people living there.

Fore warning, I swear in this one 😅

Being the Project Manager Friend Is Exhausting

I love being helpful.

I really do.

I love brainstorming.

I love assisting.

I love helping make something happen.

But being the person responsible for the plan and the execution every single time?

Absolutely exhausting.

Especially when you're already the project manager for half your life. 😂

The invisible work isn't always physically doing something.

Sometimes it's:

Thinking about it.

Coming up with the options.

Making the decisions.

Communicating the plan.

Remembering what everyone said.

Figuring out what happens next.

And making sure the damn thing actually happens.

So if you have a friend who's always “the organized one”...

Maybe ask:

"What can I bring?"

Or:

"Do you want to brainstorm together?"

Don't automatically hand her the clipboard. 😂

Maintenance feels boring.
Until you realize it's what prevents chaos.
We often wait until something becomes overwhelming before we give it attention.
Maintenance says,
"I don't need perfect.
I just don't want this becoming tomorrow's emergency."

One of the biggest things I've learned is that our homes aren't just physical spaces.
They hold our expectations.
Our habits.
Our beliefs.
Our stories.
And sometimes the reason something feels so hard isn't because we're incapable...
it's because we're trying to meet expectations we inherited without questioning.
This isn't about blaming our parents.
Most of them were doing the best they could with what they knew.
This is about giving ourselves permission to choose intentionally.
What do I want to keep?
What do I want to change?
What do I want my kids to learn from me?
That's where growth starts.
Remember, function over perfection. Every time.

I love looking at generations through the lens of understanding instead of blame.
Because every generation had strengths.
Every generation had challenges.
Every generation was responding to the world around them.

Decluttering is rarely just about stuff. It's about decisions.

And sometimes the hardest part isn't deciding if the item is useful... it's letting go of the guilt attached to it.

The money. The memories. The "maybe someday."

But your home is meant to support your current life. Not hold every version of yourself you've ever been.

So next time you're stuck, try asking: "Can I live without this?" And if the answer is yes... maybe that's enough. (Also...the poop test is weirdly effective. )

The Survival Strategies We Inherited.

Every generation of moms inherited something.
Some things were beautiful.
Some things were necessary for the season they lived in.
And some things...
we get to lovingly question.
I don't think the goal is to criticize the way previous generations did things.
They were doing the best they could with what they knew.
But we also get to ask:
"Does this belief still serve my life today?"
Awareness isn't disrespect.
It's how we create something better.
What is one belief about motherhood or homemaking that you're choosing to rethink?

Most moms aren't procrastinating. They're exhausted.
When everything feels equally urgent, our brains either panic...or shut down. Neither is sustainable.

Ways I Make My Life Easier as a Mom of 2 and Farm Wife Part 1

Tip for in the kitchen.

Being a mom of two and managing living on a farm can be a lot! I've found a few tricks to make it easier.

I’ve discovered some hacks to make it more manageable. Instead of organizing my kitchen like most people might, I set it up based on how my family actually uses it. For instance, I keep my butter knives in the breakfast area rather than with the other utensils since that’s where we reach for them most often.

What about you? Any tips that have worked for you?

For a long time, I thought organizing was about making spaces look better.
And yes, a functional space can absolutely feel amazing.
But the deeper I got into this work, the more I realized:
The stuff is rarely the whole problem.
The bigger questions are:
Why is this hard to maintain?
Why does everything feel urgent?
Why do we keep starting over?
Why do we feel like we're failing?
Those questions are where Functional Motherhood was born.
This isn't about creating perfect homes.
It's about creating lives that actually work.

One thing I love about farming is watching how deeply people can love something.
It's not just a job.
It's part of their identity.
And I think motherhood is similar.
We don't just stop being moms when our kids grow up.
But I also don't believe motherhood is meant to consume every piece of us.
We can love deeply.
Care deeply.
Show up deeply.
And still create a life that supports us too.
Motherhood doesn't end.
It evolves.

A lot of us were taught that a "good" home always looks finished.

The counters should be clear.
The laundry should be put away.
The toys should be picked up.
The projects should be completed.

But real life doesn't work that way.

A functioning home isn't one where every task is done. It's one that supports the people living in it. Even when there are dishes in the sink, laundry waiting to be folded, or toys on the floor because your kids are actually enjoying the space.

If your home helps your family eat, rest, connect, and get out the door in the morning, it's already doing its job.

Could it be more functional? Absolutely. That's what I help moms with.

But don't confuse "unfinished" with "failing."

There's a big difference.

What part of your home have you been judging as a failure when it's actually just lived in?

I didn't create The Functional Mom because I think moms need more pressure.
Honestly?
I think moms are already carrying enough.
I created it because I've seen over and over again that the problem usually isn't a lack of effort.
It's unrealistic expectations.
It's systems that don't match the season.
It's trying to maintain a life that was never designed to be maintained perfectly.
Here we talk about creating homes and lives that function.
