Sunday Confessions: I’m No Domestic Diva

May 15, 2011 By Erika Zane

15 May

This is my first Sunday Confessions and I thought I would start with something that is very hard for me to admit: homemaking is not my forte.

I addressed this subject early in my first year as a SAHM, but it has now been over a year and I still would not win any awards for interior decorating, organization, or cleanliness.  Granted, we have moved twice in the past year, but, just to give you some perspective, the following picture was taken this Wednesday when my mom was helping me FINALLY hang photos (notice there are still unpacked boxes?).  We moved in three months ago.

I am slowly learning to prioritize and ask for help when I need it AND I am praying that, with time and effort, I will improve in this area.

    We don’t even have pics hung up. :p Once we were here and Sam was talking military, I was like, “Screw it, I’m not adding more holes to fill in the walls.”

    I do love housekeeping and all that though – so I’m looking forward to knowing we can stay somewhere for a while. It will come though – unpacking and sorting and finding a place for everything takes a lot of time!!  <3

      Haha, I don’t blame you!  I decided to finally hang pictures in our last place about two months before we moved again.  Totally not worth the time and energy for a couple of months!

      I wish I liked housekeeping more.  It gives me anxiety.  I do feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish cleaning and organizing, but I psych myself out before I even get started.

      Thanks @d684c710718acb526007403dcd0863c1:disqus 🙂  I guess it’s getting there.  My parent’s house is just much more “put together”, but they’ve been there for about thirty years, so I probably shouldn’t compare my house to theirs!

     We moved almost two months ago and still havn’t hung anything and are still getting unpacked. I was almost going to use that as my confession. Thanks for making me realize that this is normal!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
