💖 Hey Mama,

Ever feel like you're the only one cleaning while everyone else steps over the mess like it’s invisible? 😩

You're not lazy. You're not doing it wrong. You're just trying to manage it all—and clean-up feels like one more thing on your already full plate.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 9 decluttering hacks that actually motivate your kids to clean up—on purpose. These are playful, real-life-tested tricks I’ve used in my home to go from constant nagging… to actual help.

You don’t need a complicated system or weekend marathon clean-ups. You just need a few strategies that make tidying up simple, doable, and yes—even fun.

And don’t worry, I’m not holding back. I even share the story of the year we gave Mitch coal for Christmas—and how it changed everything.
