“Wake up in the morning, don’t look at my phone, go outside…look around Praise The Lord”!!! Love this so much!!! ❤ This video was so awesome and helpful and so practical Thank you so much!!

I believe that what women do with our lives... giving birth, managing, teaching and raising those children while managing our homes and much more... Makes Us Miraculous! 🥰😉❤️

Baby William is so precious! I follow many of the same routines as you. Another one I do is after everyone is in bed I walk thru my home making sure everything is done, put away, nothing in the sink, throw pillows and blankets neat on the chairs and sofas... there's nothing nicer than waking up in a clean and tidy home. I also get up and head outside to enjoy my coffee, thank God and start another blessed day! ❤

I like the tip to completely put the phone away so you don’t see it, good one!

Wow, if you can manage time with 5 kids, I have NO excuses! Going to steal some of these tips for sure—super helpful! 😍

I like your last point on pairing something else with a task you are already working on. While I'm fixing toast for my husband I like to put away the things in the dishwasher. All of your comments are reminders and are an inspiration to me. Thank you.
The baby's 'hugs' are so adorable. Thanks for letting him join in the video.

I am starting to learn the key to having homemade meals all the time when you have a busy schedule is batch cooking. I think this is probably one trick I see you using. I need to make bread so I go head a make 2 loaves and now I don't have to worry about it tomorrow. I cook a great meal and I make double and freeze it for later. I premake things the weekend before to save time during the week. I put chicken away in the freezer already in a marinade to save time. Homemade food doesn't have to take all day. Also, when I'm really in a pinch for time my crock pot is my friend, set it and forget it.

You’re a great mama and wife, you have it all worked out according to you, your family and your schedule. 🥰

Love this video. It takes me right back. It's great to be organized, but not to expect to be perfect. Little habits & routines bring stability & confidence both for our children & for us as parents. I always tried my best & tried to remember the good parent is the parent who is good enough. Just this weekend my daughter told me how proud she was of me & my son made dinner because he wanted to. I felt very loved. It was so much reward for just wanting to be good enough. ♥️

I’m all about number 10! My favourite is to fold the laundry while my child is in the bath/shower = game changer!

[angelahill]

Your a good mom!!! your teaching them valuable things to be an adult. My kids cooked cleaned and laudry

I raised four boys and one with a disability. I used to think two were easy, but actually four was. I found routine is the best way. Things did get crazy at times but I embraced every moment of mother hood, from nursing, cloth diapers on the clothesline to playing together outside, and counting the stars as they popped out.

I miss those days so much! Envy you having littles around. Steph, is that the Isla dress you have on? Looks beautiful as always on you. Thank you for inspiring us. Blessings to your gorgeous family!

Your baby William is adorable and your tips so helpful. My contribution to your community would be to use a calendar to review, add, write a to do list for the next day. Check off those items and carryover the rest to the subsequent day upon review. There is nothing better for me personally than a Brownline calendar with tabs and full sheet for each day to carry this out! Thank you for your videos!

[lindsayg]

I've only been watching your videos a few days, and I'm hooked! Thank you for your time and everything you are teaching.

[DansonforJoy]

I am SMITTEN with your acrylic wall calendars/chore charts!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to post our large family’s charts in an aesthetically pleasing way, and this is perfect!! Thanks so much for sharing! And YES to everything you shared in this video. Most of these tips are how I live as a mama of six. 👌🥰

[marianat.]

Thank you for all of your wonderful tips! Now my question is, do you have any advice on how to get things done with a baby, especially a Velcro one? 😅 Asking for a friend lol

[CKClevmama]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I love seeing your son snuggle on your shoulder! Such a beautiful picture of God's blessings to you!

[stephaniem]

Love this!! What an encouraging video with great tips. A few things we practice here are to give everything a place and teach everyone to put things in their place - especially good for large families ☺️ I also have taught the children through the years to “look behind them” before they walk away - just to see what they are leaving behind and if maybe it shouldn’t be left like that. 😉 And I taught them also to remember the “next person” and to bless them through their actions - did you use all the milk? Go get another one from the basement fridge and replace it so whoever reaches for milk next will find it there. Big families do need to work together - it makes things better! ☺️ ❤️

[marikajohn]

So true with doing one thing another can be done. Children clearing up. Yes did that, helps with life skills. 😊😊
