Welcome to The UnCluttered Mother's Blog. I often tell others The UnCluttered Mother began on September 19, 2005 – only I didn’t know it yet. September 19th was the day I received the most wonderful surprise of my life – I learned I was expecting a baby. After regaining consciousness, the doctor informed me of my due date (which just happened to be the same date as my 11th wedding anniversary) and my organized brain disappeared along with life the way I had known in all its organized glory!
Before the baby, I organized everything and couldn’t function if something was out of place. Dinner menus – made out months in advance including the days my husband and I would eat out. Grocery lists – I kept a mini notebook with me of items needed based on the dinner menus I created so it too was made out months in advance. Chores – assigned a specific day so everything (including things like cleaning the fridge) were done on a weekly basis.
After the baby – I would forget where I was going, what I was talking about, forget what I came into a room to get, had pieces of paper lying all over the house with “to do” items written on them, and dinner menus – I couldn’t even find a pencil to create one!
Now that my brain has returned somewhat, so has my desire to unclutter my 'lifespace". I want to use this blog to share helpful hints on staying organized, balancing work and family life, being a mompreneur, the challenges of being a working mom, interpersonal relationships, and a host of other topics that help us manage ourselves and our homes more effectively.
I hope you enjoy my blog and I hope to hear from you because I love blog talking to fellow humans. Please feel free to post your comments and I can also be reached via email at stephanie@unclutteredmother.com.
Stay Happy, Healthy, and Organized!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Anderson -The UnCluttered Mother
