One Chaotic Mess

I make my bed everyday, do you?  Ok, there have been a few days in my adult life I haven’t and before I was married I definitely didn’t always.  As I sit here on the eve of Thanksgiving, I want to share with you why I now make my bed Every.  Single.  Day.  I know some of you moms are thinking, SHE is cRaZy.  I, however, feel less crazy when I make my bed.

I figure if something that takes me approximately 90 seconds can make me have a better day, than lets do it!  For example:  today, I didn’t make my bed first thing(this is a rarity).  Naturally, Everything that could be chaotic with 2 kids under 2 happened.  From Maxwell knocking his sister over on multiple occasions to straight screaming just because Emerson was “looking” at Mickey Mouse.  LOL, this is true.  She was watching the TV with him and today he couldn’t take it.  So I put Emme down for her morning nap and told Max we were going to make Mommy and Daddy’s bed.  I immediately felt better.  Even though I have a rolling to do list to prepare before tomorrows Thanksgiving feast of 20 people at OUR house.  I felt better that our bed was MADE!

Maybe it’s because that is where you start and end your day?  Your sanctuary?  Idk, either way, if you aren’t a bed maker, you should really take it for a test run!

 

Happy THANKSGIVING Y’all😘

 

XOXO,
