Dear Reader,
Is your weather as confused as ours is in North Carolina right now? πβοΈ Last week, I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt in 75-degree sunshine, and just the week before, I was scraping ice off my windshield!
β
My entryway has become this chaotic mix of winter boots AND spring sandals, heavy coats AND light jackets.
β
But here's the thing - despite Mother Nature's mood swings, the calendar doesn't lie. Spring IS coming, even if it's playing hard to get! And that means our homes are caught in this awkward in-between season where nothing quite works.
β
How's YOUR home feeling right now? Still buried in winter gear while spring is peeking around the corner? Feeling that tension between holding onto winter necessities while craving spring freshness? You're not alone! π
β
I'm so excited to kick off our Winter RESET: Making Space for Spring GROWTH email series today! Over the next 4 weeks, I'll be your guide through transforming your home from winter chaos to spring-ready - all while working around your busy professional mom schedule.
β
β
Here's what's coming your way this month:
- Week 1: Mindset Reset (that's today!)
- Week 2: Clothing Transition (goodbye bulky sweaters!)
- Week 3: Entryway & Mudroom Refresh (no more boot puddles!)
- Week 4: Kitchen & Pantry Reset (hello lighter meals!)
But first, let's clear something up that confuses a lot of busy moms...
β
π§ΉSEASONAL RESET vs. SPRING CLEANING:π§ΉWhatβs the difference?
β
Spring Cleaning is that deep, intensive cleaning we all think we should do - scrubbing baseboards, washing windows, deep-cleaning carpets. It's time-consuming and honestly? Most busy moms don't have time for it all at once.
β
A Seasonal Reset is different. It's about transitions - moving out winter items to make space for spring. It's about decluttering before you clean. It's about making your home function better RIGHT NOW, not achieving some perfect, spotless ideal.
β
Think of it this way:
- Spring Cleaning = The whole house gets a deep scrub
- Seasonal Reset = Getting the winter stuff out of your way so you can actually FIND your floors to clean later! π
β
The best part? A good reset in March makes any spring cleaning you do later so much easier.

Your Quick-Win Challenge: πͺ
What's one area of your home that's causing you daily friction? The spot that makes you sigh every time you see it? Take a quick "before" photo of this area - we'll use it to celebrate your progress!
β
- Pick one area of your home thatβs causing you daily friction.
- Set a time for 15 minutes. Short, focused sessions prevent burnout and fit into your busy schedule. You'll be amazed what you can accomplish in just 15 dedicated minutes!
- Create a "decision-free" donation box somewhere accessible and drop items in throughout the week without second-guessing. When it's full, seal it up and drop it off.
