I’ve been trying really hard to not drown in what feels like the infinite list of what needs to be done. Aside from being 15 weeks pregnant (so pregnant enough to be exhausted, but not so pregnant I am limited in movement by size), we moved into a new house right before Christmas. Both my husband and I work, so unpacking has gone slowly. We’re trying to be mindful of what we unpack, make sure it has a home, and get rid of what doesn’t belong in ours. I’ve already heard of the Konmari method before Tidying Up, but watching it made me feel even more frustrated with the state of our home (even though 75% of it is literally just boxes right now). I’m also in school, so there’s pressure on me to do well so I can bring my GPA up to switch to Electrical Engineering as my degree. I’m rereading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up as well as Spark Joy to hopefully help with how to organize our home and keep it that way. We are also planning a nursery, so there’s the additional pressure of what to do for new baby! It’s our first, so we’re navigating new waters.

It will be okay. At least. I keep telling myself that 😉
