One thing I’ve learned about building a home together is that it’s not always the big, dramatic gestures that matter the most—it’s the little, consistent things. And let me tell you, one thing about my husband is that he supports me in ways that make my life so much easier. He has this gift of noticing when I’m tired, when my energy is running low, and instead of letting me push through alone, he steps up. One of the biggest examples is in the kitchen. Whenever I cook dinner, he doesn’t just sit back—he cleans the kitchen afterward. That may sound small to some people, but if you’re the one who usually cooks, you know exactly how huge that is. Because honestly, who wants to spend time preparing and serving a full meal only to turn around and scrub the kitchen afterward? Not me. And truthfully, I can’t function if my kitchen is messy. It’s non-negotiable in our household. Every single night, no matter what, we clean the kitchen. It’s a rule we live by, and it keeps our home feeling calm, organized, and in order. No area of the house is allowed to sit in chaos—at least not for long.

Now, let’s be real. If I’m honest, my bedroom is a different story. That room is the one that slips every now and then. There are days when I walk in and see clothes tossed here and there, or things not where they belong. The bedroom is probably the messiest room in the house at times. And it’s not because I don’t care—it’s simply because I get so drained. There are moments when I’m so tired that all I want to do is crash into bed and forget about everything else. I know I’m not the only one who has those nights. Still, even if it’s not always perfect, we eventually carve out time to clean it up. It might not sparkle every single day, but it doesn’t stay messy for long either.
But when it comes to my kitchen—oh, baby—that space is sacred. There’s just something about walking into a clean kitchen that sets the tone for the whole house. It feels like the heart of our home, and if that heart is messy, the whole house feels out of balance. That’s why my husband and I have made it a priority, and honestly, his help makes all the difference. It’s not just about cleaning—it’s about partnership, teamwork, and love expressed in action.
And of course, the same goes for the bathroom too. A clean bathroom is a must. I truly believe the way we keep our home reflects the way we feel inside. Clean spaces bring peace, calm, and order, and I value that so much. It doesn’t mean we’re perfect—it means we care enough to show up for each other and for our home.
So if your household is the same way, let me know—because I get it. Keeping things clean and organized isn’t just about appearances, it’s about creating a space where you can breathe, relax, and feel at ease. And in my family, that’s something we take seriously, every single day.
