Laundry hack that has changed my life - each person has a basket in their room, me and my husband share & each person has a day of the week where I was their laundry, towel, washcloth & bedding and it’s all put away so easy bc I know it all goes in one place! I have 3 kids and the my husband and myself so laundry is done Monday through Thursday and no laundry Friday through Sunday!
I LOVE this idea!!! Because one of the things I struggle with when doing laundry is the putting it away part hahah. I feel like I'm running all over the house.
@@fleurmumma7558 whenever! I let them collect up in a hamper in our laundry room and wash as needed! That doesn’t stress me out bc it’s a quick load to wash dry put away!
@@kaylanorris8334 Same here! But what has helped tremendously is decreasing our inventory! I highly recommend looking up The Minumal Mom about "Decreasing inventory or establishing a habbit." For us, if there are too many clothes (inventory) in the drawers or closet taking up space where it's hard to know where things go and I have to re-shift everything before putting things away, then it can make that part of the job so much harder than necessary. I have 4 kids, am able to be a stay at home mom, and I homeschool them so there have to be systems in place so the home runs more smoothly. The having an assigned day for each person's laundry is so essential (13 and 11 y.o.'s do it independently, I help the 7 and 3 year old with theirs). They have only enough underwear to last 10 days, that's the limit that they have to stretch it if that's what they choose to do. If they miss their day, they run out of clothing and the natural consequence of waking up to no underwear is on them. What a great lesson to learn as a kid rather than as a young adult!
That affirmation was such a good reminder for me. To not forget that my glory right now in this season of young kids is not outside of my home, but inside my home.
I’d love to know what the kids morning snack is. I have 6 kids and I never thought to have a snack before breakfast. I bet this would cause our mornings to go smoother.
I started doing that this year and it has really helped my mornings. I let my kids get a fruit and/or yogurt. They are still hungry for breakfast when I make it 😊
I just want you two to know I love your channel and truly inspired me to get back to my morning routine. You hit the nail on the head ! This was exactly what I needed to watch/ hear!!
Thanks for another great video!! Loved it all, always feels like a treat when you have another one. I audibly said “ahh, yay!” When I saw it! 😂 You guys are simply my favorite, ever! SO encouraging & inspirational… Godly parents, taking care of yourselves spiritually, physically, mentally… high fives to you guys!! Those sweet babies are blessed to have you as parents, living to please God and love them & each other, intentionally. Keep up the great work!! I too, would love a video on your healthy eating, I loved how Lucy was helping strain the kefir! 🥰 … It would be awesome to hear about recipes you grew up on, how you feel about all the advice out there (eating X amount of protein per day, fasting, etc!) Maybe Elisha could talk about his view of food/meals/Dads perspective. I feel as though food is so over-complicated these days - it truly takes up a lot of my mental space trying to “figure it out”. I did not grow up with a very balanced example and I’m trying to figure it out now so my kids have a good example. I’m 6 mo. Postpartum with #6 and the weight never seems to just “fall off/level off”. Anyways! Thanks again!! 🤍👏🏼
Love it! Thanks for sharing you guys- very inspirational! I’ve been getting up at 6 and working out for 20 min, reading the Bible and praying for 30 min and then going over my do to list. From the Get It All Done Club, I learned to prep the night before, so I write out my to do list then, get out my workout clothes, coffee, water, vitamins and book bag. I feel so ready to tackle the day when our 4 kids get up at 7! And I usually prep breakfast the night before so it’s easy peasy in the morn to cook or make. My laundry routine is clothing Mondays and Thursdays, Towels on Tuesdays and Sheets on Wednesdays. I try to start that up first thing too. Thanks again for this- I’ll definitely be taking some tips from this video!
So thankful for your channel. It has been a true blessing as I am navigating how to honor the Lord in my home as a wife and mother. It is clearly evident that you truly love the Lord and seek to honor Him. Praying that He would continue to guide you and give you discernment as you raise your family and work in the ministry He has blessed you with. May He remain the priority and if ever that should slightly shift, may the Holy Spirit make you aware. God bless you both.
Also studies show that moms that get regular sleep will have an easier time staying fit (along with exercise and good diet) she mentioned her kids are sleep trained early. We did co sleep and once my toddler transitioned to her room at 1yr old, I found I slept better and was able to loose weight easier
Would absolutely love a video on how you are intentional with your relationship to date each other and have quality time. Our four kiddos are all 3.5 years apart and it’s so fun but when we get to bed early at 9:30pm in order to get up 5:30am, that makes it trickier to have evening date special time. Would LOVE your ideas for being intentional with marriage! ❤
Very inspiring! Looking forward to have the space to read in quietness /working out in the morning. Currently living in a small studio apartment and once I or my husband gets up our little one immediately wakes up, so we would not have uninterrupted focused alone time... Impossible at the moment sadly..
It must feel quite vulnerable to be too open in the Internet. People can be very judgemental and write nasty, overcritical comments. Maybe that is their way to protect their hearts. I know that nobody is perfect, nor do I expect someone to be. I don't idealize someone that appears put together, but appreciate the inspiration they can be for my life. I hope that makes sense, blessings ❤
Thank you for this video. :) Very helpful and motivational. I'm a mom to three girls. One is three weeks old and I've been having trouble in many areas. This is very nice to listen to and hear. :)
Would love to know what you use now, Katie, for your workouts (for instance, are you still using the Seven app?), only when you have time, thank you!! ❤
How do you sleep train your babies? I’m torn on that decision because of recent studies and research saying they still wake up and need you/are in distress at night but learn not to signal/cry. It breaks my heart but I too am someone who wld love uninterrupted sleep, but that’s just a part of having kids 🤷🏽♀️ I find it hard believing that God says to have a lot of kids but also sleep train them and don’t have them sleep with you or be comforted by you, it’s just so confusing to me. He created them to be extra dependent right, idk? I look into things way too much as well lol
Yes, they do. I also refrained for the same reason. It’s nice to get sleep, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable risking their mental health and connection.
There are gentler ways of sleep training - look into it, do your research. I live in the U.K. and have paid a sleep consultant to help us sleep train our 5 month old. She was amazing, it was gradual and gentle. I don’t agree with cry it out but you can do a gradual withdrawal and your baby can learn to fall asleep independently
I have the same thought process as you! I have decided that I am not going to sleep train because of the trauma that can happen associated with it but that’s just my opinion anyway. Also there are some sleep training methods that are less harsh. Prayers you get some sleep!❤
I appreciate what you guys are trying to accomplish and I think you have good values and good intentions. That being said, for some reason the tone of your videos comes across as “we have it all together and you should be like us”. I think if you worked on being more approachable and not so “perfect”, even more people would be drawn to your channel and content! I hope that’s helpful and not just critical😅
Haha feel the same! But they may really have it all together, ya never know 😅 but I do appreciate channel's that share that they get help with the kids while they cook or clean and showing the mess that needs to be taken care of instead of always a perfect show
Watch some of her older videos.. they are so different, and it makes me really appreciate the new videos! She has changed so so much over the years and has built up her excellence in life.. she didn’t get to this point on accident! And as a mom of almost 3 I assure you her days don’t go perfectly, but I really appreciate the excellence she puts forth! It calls me higher in my motherhood journey!
Thank you, this might've just been the push that I needed. I really enjoy your videos at the moment, even though I am not religious (I do believe in God/ source though and I wish I had grown up learning about the bible, there is probably a depth in the stories that most kid's books lack..). Thank you for inspiring us!
Just chill. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Rest. Not everyday has to look and feel ordered and easy. Let some things go and just relax. Don’t perform. Or posture. Just live.
I agree. Sometimes organizing every moment of every day becomes an idol of the heart. I believe in routine and structure as helpful for the whole family, but lets be real, many days do NOT go as planned!
Do you get tired in the afternoon. Currently 30 weeks pregnant with my fifth and so tired by the afternoon. Also when does your husband get home or can help with kids?
How do you train your kids early to sleep through the night. My 1.5 year old still wakes up 3-4 times through the night and needs help to go back to sleep. 😏
I agree with all u said. But, how your kids stay at bed until this hour? My 2 years old start to weak up early and she doesn't sleep again. She goes to school in the afternoon (1 to 5pm), so I can have a moment to myself. I would like to do homeschool, but I feel that I can't handle one kid! I don't know how you can! I love routine, but I cant make one like this.
Greetings from Sweden! Love your channel so much! You are a true inspiration! I have a question. I’m now pregnant with our first child. I am feeling so extremely tired the whole pregnancy so far. Do you have any advice for dealing with this during pregnancy? God bless you and your family!
I think it's awesome that you guys get all this accomplished in the morning! But an allotted time for God only, I mean everything else will pass away but gods.word is forever, so it won't ever hurt to spend all morning in the Bible ❤
This video is really helpful. Thank you so much for recording it now I have ideas. What do you guys do for work? Just curious because I start at 7-3:30, I have to leave the house at 6:10.
I can so relate. Because almost every morning I get up at five and I tell myself I’m going to go downstairs and let the dog out and feed him and then I’m going to go back to bed. And every morning on that I never go back to bed because I’m already awake but somehow that gets me to get out of bed 😂
Another GREAT book by Nancy Campbell is The Power of Motherhood : What the BIBLE says about you as a mother. It's wonderful, its kind of like a Bible study/reflection all together. I highly recommend it!
Do you have hard water? I’m assuming where Katie lives they have soft water like I do. I noticed a big difference when I moved provinces and my water changed from hard to soft.
I don't like this trend of "vision or dream boards." It has its roots in the new age and I want no part in that. Sure, there's things my husband and I would like to see happen during the coming year, and we sometimes write those goals down. But ultimately, we want the Lord to direct our year,not us. You can't Christianise new age practices. 😕

Katie you are truly a inspiration ❤
I'd love to hear how the rest of the day goes too! You gave me some nice tips, thank you very much! You have a lovely family!
This is soooo inspiring!! I just changed my set alarm from 8am to 5.30am !! Pray for me haha 😅
What do you eat on a regular basis to stay lean after 4 kids?????
On an interview with her mom they mentioned very little sugar.

Advice for the 1 year old who doesn’t understand staying asleep until 730 yet!? 😅
At that age you kind of just have to get through it and make the most of it.
That's true. I suppose it depends on how early it was 😆
