Are you feeling overwhelmed by complicated clearing systems and endless to-do lists? In this episode, I’m sharing our family’s journey from complete survival mode (where we abandoned all cleaning systems) to creating simple, sustainable routines that keep our home relatively clean without exhausting my limited pregnancy energy. 

I’ll walk you through:

  • How to identify YOUR daily cleaning priorities based on your family’s actual pain points

  • Our “confiscate and clean” strategy that’s transforming our tidying habits

  • Why we’re tackling deep cleaning with music and turning it into a family activity

  • How just 20-30 minutes of focused cleaning each morning is creating dramatic results

This isn’t about perfect Pinterest-worthy spaces or following someone else’s complicated checklist. It’s about figuring out what matters most to YOU, making it easy to maintain, and celebrating the progress that comes from consistent simple actions.

Whether you’re pregnant like me, in a busy season with young children, or just tired of the clean-then-crash cycle, this episode offers practical inspiration for creating cleaning systems that actually work for your real life.
