Helping moms eliminate their stress
▫️Home on autopilot with Effective Routines
▫️Team Player kids | Hours more time
▫️Easier mom life starts here!👇

This used to feel impossible with 4 kids under one

This used to feel impossible with 4 kids under one roof… chaos was the norm.

But a few shifts in how I ran my home…

Effective routines, functional over organized, productivity tools, changed everything.

If you want to eliminate your stress caused by your home, have a home that runs on autopilot, and get hours back in your week…

✨comment HOME and I’ll send you a link to my exact guide that helped put our home on autopilot.

Let’s make your home work for you, not against you.

Listen, if you’re constantly cleaning while your

Listen, if you’re constantly cleaning while your kids just watch… this one’s for you.

These 5 rules are the reason I’m no longer doing it all myself:

THE NON-NEGOTIABLE FIVE (creating team players in your home!)

1. NO MAYBES.
If you want your kids to help, stop asking & start giving clear direction. “Can you please come help me?” is a yes/no question. Use direct language and make it non-negotiable.

2. KEEP IT SIMPLE.
Color-coded chore charts? No thanks. A 20-minute room reset with music and a big visual timer? That works.

3. TEACH, THEN EXPECT.
Don’t assume your kids know how to help. Walk them through it (more than once). Expectation without training = frustration.

4. MAKE IT WORK FOR YOUR FAMILY.
My routines fit our rhythm. Stop trying to copy systems that don’t fit your life stage or energy levels.

5. THE 30-MINUTE RULE.
No more weekend clean-a-thons. I set a timer, we all help, and it’s DONE. Everyone contributes, no burnout for mom.

If you’ve been trying to carry the whole house on your back… stop. Let me show you how to build a teamwork family where everyone plays a role.

✨I packed every script, routine, and strategy into my Teamwork Is Light Work guide, and yes, even toddlers can help!

✨COMMENT “TEAM” and I’ll send the link to my Teamwork Is Light Work guide straight to your DM’s.

Let’s ditch the Cinderella life, for good.

Follow @geniusmomhacks for more ways to eliminate your stress caused by the chaos of your home.

Comment “GENIUS” and I’ll send you the link to my 2 guide bundle, Genius Home Hacks Guide & Teamwork Is Light Work, that will help you eliminate your stress caused by the chaos of your home, with effective routines, productivity tools and create an easy to clean, functional home on autopilot, AND give you the exact steps & scripts Inused to stop being Cinderella and start teaching my kids to be team players.

In fact!! True story!! These 17 bags of donations my 4 kids did all by themselves from decluttering their rooms! I didn’t lift a figure!🤯

Yes, decluttering & organizing are helpful when trying to get through the junk to have a clean slate to start.

But just decluttering once and throwing a bunch of stuff in fancy cute bins will not help you create an easy to clean home.

You need to have tools that go farther than that, deeper than that, you need to get to the root issue.

I remember when I first realized it was my home causing me my stress (and not my kids like I thought!), I started with decluttering. But then after a month or so the mess came back. I didn’t solve anything permanent, just temporary.

I kept trying several different other things, like organizational bins and long to-do list, but nothing really worked, until this!

Here’s what worked for me and what you need to do instead:

I Added effective daily routines, productivity tools & teamwork!🤯

Routines are easier for our brain. They become autopilot, things we naturally know to do once you create the habits.

This is important as a busy mom because you will use less brain energy and these tasks will naturally get done with minimal effort.

Productivity tools help you get more done less time and that is something every busy mom needs more of.

Lastly, I focused on setting my home up to be functional over it being organized. So everyone in my home can help, & it not all fall on mom!

Stop wasting your weekends managing all of the clutter and create a home that you love, that’s easy to clean, takes only minutes and the whole family can finally carry their weight and help🥳

And don’t forget to comment “GENIUS” so I can help ya with this!🫶🏻

Tired of the frantic weekends of doing nothing but

Tired of the frantic weekends of doing nothing but cleaning, I was too!

So I started doing this instead👇🏻

This may sounds extreme, but getting my home on autopilot, eliminating my mom stress caused by the chaos of my home, has been life changing for me as a busy mom of four kids, all close age gaps, with twins!

HERE’S HOW⬇️⬇️⬇️

I had a baby and a toddler and I was very stressed and my husband worked long hours.

One day when “trying” to put towels away with a baby on my hip and toddler at my feet, in an over stuffed linen closet I lost it. The towels fell to the ground and unraveled right in front of me. All that work completely wasted. I fell to the ground crying, overwhelmed, & angry.

I looked around my messy chaotic home, and realized it was my HOME that was causing me my overwhelm & stress and not my 2 young children like I thought.

I tried different things, like ruthless decluttering, reorganizing with fancy bins, and making huge long to do lists, but none of these things kept the mess away and worked. The mess came back.

UNTIL THIS!!!⬇️⬇️

I added efficient routines & productivity tools to create an easy to clean & functional home on autopilot.

This one change was game changing💃

Routines are easier for our brain. They become autopilot, things we naturally know to do once you create the habits.
This is important as a busy mom because you will use less brain energy and these tasks will naturally get done with minimal effort.

Even with four kids, three years old and under, I was able to:

✨Eliminate the overwhelm and stress plagued by most moms
✨ Get HOURS of “me” time each week without having my kids sit on TV or devices
✨ Created a home I love that takes minutes to clean each day
✨ Escaped laundry prison and no longer have piles of laundry everywhere
✨ Have energy to be an active present mom even with toddlers and babies
✨ Get more done in less time
✨Stopped spending hours frantically cleaning on the weekends

And now I get to help other overwhelmed moms eliminate their stress, get their homes on autopilot, get more done in less time, and enjoy their homes more!

Here’s what helped me go from surviving motherho

Here’s what helped me go from surviving motherhood to actually loving it again:

THE NON-NEGOTIABLE FIVE
(aka the exact shifts I made that changed everything in my home, energy, and mindset)

1. STRUCTURE > STRESS
I created daily routines for mornings, evenings, sleep, and even play. Less decision fatigue. More peace.

2. WAKE UP BEFORE THE CHAOS
Even 20 minutes before my kids gave me control of my mornings again. It’s not just a hack—it’s a lifeline.

3. TEACH TEAMWORK
Getting my kids involved with resets and home care gave me HOURS back. It’s not about perfection, it’s about participation, instilling in them early (as young as 2 years old), that our home runs on teamwork and everyone is a team player. Mommy doesn’t do everything alone.

4. WALK IT OUT + FUEL YOURSELF
Daily movement and high-protein meals helped me drop stress weight, regain energy, and stop feeling like a zombie. A healthy mom is a more present mom.

5. SLEEP IS A STRATEGY
No screen is worth the meltdown I’d feel the next day. I started prioritizing sleep like it was my job, and everything changed.

🤝🏼Nothing happens overnight.
Stick with the plan, not your mood.

Try these five things consistently over the next few weeks… and you won’t just see changes in your home—you’ll feel them in your body, mind, and soul.

If you’re ready for a motherhood that feels lighter, calmer, easier, and more enjoyable…

Five things I wish I started when I first became a

Five things I wish I started when I first became a mom years ago…

(And what finally helped me go from drowning in chaos to a calm, functional home) ⬇️

1. DAILY 20-MINUTE RESET
It’s not about cleaning for hours. It’s about consistency. One simple reset each day keeps the mess manageable.

2. WAKE UP BEFORE YOUR KIDS
Not 2 hours early—just enough time to start the day on your terms. Peace before the chaos changes everything.

3. EFFECTIVE ROUTINES
Laundry, meals, and tidying don’t need to feel like a full-time job. I built habits that save me hours a week, and I teach them all in Genius Home Hacks.

4. A FUNCTIONAL HOME SETUP
You can’t clean what has nowhere to go. I stopped relying on bins and started making my home work with me, not against me. Easy enough for a 2 year old! (True story!)

5. REALISTIC SYSTEMS OVER TO-DO LISTS
If your list is longer than your arm, it’s not a plan—it’s pressure. I ditched the noise and created systems I could stick to no matter how busy the season.

🤝🏼 Nothing happens overnight—especially not with toddlers in tow.

Stick with the plan, not your mood.

Good homes take time. Great homes take systems.

Give these 5 things a few weeks (some moms have told me it took only 7 days!) and your home will feel completely different.

I used to spend my whole weekend cleaning… and still felt behind.

Now we reset our entire home in 20 minutes or less—with the kids helping, being team players.

No, it’s not magic. It’s routine, productivity tools, and realistic expectations.

Here’s what makes our resets work:
✔️ Everyone has a role (yes, even toddlers)
✔️ A visual timer = less resistance
✔️ Same time, same flow, & music to make it fun

When your home is set up to be functional, is easy to manage, & your kids know what’s expected, everything changes.

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed as a busy mom by the chaos in your home?

Feel like it’s impossible to have an easy to clean & tidy home? Especially with little children?

Princeton did a study that showed the direct relationship to our environment (our home) and our stress levels. If your environment is messy and chaotic, you will be more stressed. 🤯

But there is hope! And some simple tools go a long way.

I remember when I was crying on my floor drowning in the chaos of my home with extreme stress with a baby and toddler.

I see this is so many other moms I coach now too. Struggling with the daily tasks of your home and motherhood.

I realized when I started making a few daily habit changes with my home, so much started to shift for me.

This stuff isn’t magic ⬇️

I didn’t need a $400 organization haul to finally get my home on autopilot. I didn’t even need matching bins.

I just needed effective routines & productivity tools to create an easy to clean & functional home on autopilot.

This one change was game changing💃

Routines are easier for our brain. They become autopilot, things we naturally know to do once you create the habits.
This is important as a busy mom because you will use less brain energy and these tasks will naturally get done with minimal effort.

Here’s the truth:
1. If your home doesn’t have a rhythm, no amount of plastic containers will fix the chaos. Pretty doesn’t equal practical.

2. If you’re constantly decluttering without routines, you’ll stay stuck in the same cycle. You don’t need a 30-day clean-out, you need systems.

3. If your house looks perfect but you’re still mentally drowning, it’s not working.

4. If you’re “organizing” things you don’t actually use… you’re just rearranging clutter.

5. If your setup doesn’t support your kids helping… you’ll always be the one doing it all. Function > aesthetics.

6. You don’t need a reset weekend. You need a reset routine that takes 20 minutes or less.

7. No basket, bin, or “hack” replaces doing the internal work of leading your home differently.
Systems & routines will save you.

We hosted over 80 friends in our home, and it felt easy.

No scrambling. No chaos. No stress.

Why?
Because our home runs on autopilot and my family operates as a team.

✨The house is already functional, clean, and ready.

✨The kids know how to pitch in (and actually do it!).

✨The prep, the cleanup, the flow—it all feels light.

This is the difference when you have systems that serve your family instead of drain you.

If hosting feels like a full-blown crisis every time, it’s not you, it’s your setup.

If you would love to host more, but feel you can’t cuz it’s overwhelming and stressful for you, I gotchu!

I mean, correct me if I’m wrong but… they weren’t lying.

I did fall for the idea that setting up functional systems, creating home routines & rhythms, and productivity tools so you can get more done in less time with less energy & effort.

And turns out? It’s the only reason I’m not drowning in chaos with four kids.

Things like:
• Reset routines
• OLAD (One Load A Day)
• A robot vacuum that works harder than me
• Race The Clock

I now have more time to rest, host, play, breathe, and be a present mom, because my home basically runs itself on autopilot.

And yes, of course I will teach you 🫶🏼
