Home Management 101

For many of us, home management is a casual game of cat and mouse: keeping up with laundry, the kitchen, the finances, the kids…our responsibilities end up culminating in a long string of latent and precarious decisions. We put so much effort and care into our careers and family - what’s a little pile of dirty laundry in the corner of my room going to do?
Sis, it’ll do more than you think…
When we lose sync with our home, it comes at the cost of our peace, and if you can’t find peace at work or at home, where else will you find it? Taking control of the rhythms of your home is the best complement to the rhythms of your life, and in this episode, we talk all about finding the tempo for your to-dos, tasks, and time!

I owned 2 cleaning services years ago. But when I became a mom I lost myself when post partum hit. I look around my living space and wonder WHY I mean my nickname was Martha Stewart😊 But after taking care of sick kids, a sick husband, life lifing and my own battles I think exhaustion just set in. BUT!!!! today is a NEW BEGINNING my husband just got a new kidney transplant🎉 my sons are older and outgrew asthma/bronchitis 🎉 and today is August 1, 2023 number 8 means new beginning and this video is confirmation for me to begin again and new strength will come. Thank you so much for taking time to address these areas!!!❤

I think it’s also really important how we talk to ourselves. It’s usually not because we are lazy because we are also super tired from…….WORKING! Lol 😂 be careful how you talk to yourself as you are getting your home together because I found when I called myself lazy when I got out of routine, it didn’t help. So that’s my contribution: you’re not lazy if you get out of routine because you’re so busy. That’s a priority issue. Now…if you just lazy and haven’t been doing anything? Well sure that can be a heart issue, but it can also be a mental health issue. All I’m saying is your self talk can be critical to getting in routine and getting back into routine if you get out. Be careful what you call yourself, even to yourself.

[@ashleyluna1735]

Amen! So needed to hear this. Wow. Powerful wisdom. Praise you Jesus! ❤

[@jessicaredding5144]

Oh wooow!!! This is Golden! God bless you sis. So grateful for this.

[@gloriaclark999]

Hello Chrystal Thank you soon much for sharing this message. I am an empty nester, and my house is in horrible condition. I've started crafting which I really enjoy but I can't keep things together even more than before. So I'm going to start writing and planning my life to get and keep things in order. Because it does take my peace to see my house in a disaster . May God continue to bless you ❤

[@ijadorejewels4065]

Same here!

[@wandabooker1394]

We are the same with watering the plants. Poor things just be wilting and I’m like, oh, you need some water?

[@ChrystalHurst]

lol

[@kraichellecurren7892]

Feeling motivated towards this goal again 🙌🏽❤❤❤

[@UntotheLord]

I’m a SAHM and homeschool 2 out of my 3 kids. We cut our bills and downsized so I could close my business and focus on my family. I absolutely treat it like I did my business. I get dressed everyday, have scheduled out my cleaning into different days etc… it’s taken work but I have finally got my rhythm down. Some days I mess up but I always keep space in my schedule so I can catch up on anything I need to.

[@cac.kwhbpw]

Oh my; priceless! I needed to hear many of the golden nuggets that were no doubt shared with you by your Mommy and also forged by your life. Thank you. 🙏

[@Uplift2023]

This is EXACTLY what I been talking to God about today...and this video showed up.

[@ReneeRobertson]

[@U_neekliss]

[@pagingamber]

Great video. ✨️ I homeschool and have kids in regular school. I learned that my home needed a lot of changes to make things run smoother, both day and night. I needd to implement more changes than I ever thought. I decluttered and lived more basic and felt such a relief when I did. I had no idea all that stuff that wasn't even mine for the most part (previous family and house guests) was cluttering up my mind and my house! Loved the tips. I'm always learning. 💯❤️

[@condesabeatriz9303]

Ma’am lol !!! You were hearing my prayers, I’ve been asking God to show me how to be a better steward of my 🏡 🤞🏾💜😍🫶🏾 lol

[@kathyfrankenfield8310]

I really need help. I'm semi-retired and have many roadblocks to getting a neatly organized and clean living space. No financial resources to pay an organizer, busy with part-time job and all the running of a 2-person, 2-pet home. Very little time, very little energy, and very little motivation because the task is huge. No family to help. Just at that season of life when downsizing needs to happen SOON and I can't face it alone. I'm paralyzed it seems. Don't know where to start. . Nothing significant can happen after work--just exhausted and need to get ready for the next day and go to bed early. Thank you Chrystal. I will listen to this several times. Please suggestions....anyone??

[@lauren87walker]

You are always talking to me! Holy Spirit is always on point!!😂

[@yazminclarke8675]

Thank you sister! I am an organized person but I didn’t realized I was lacking in some areas. Oh I need a big sister 😅
