When you leaned on Carson's shoulders, a single tear fell out my face! Most of the time it's the other way around, but sometimes we need them just like they need us. Sometimes that little shoulder gives you just the right amount of endorfins to get you through.

Okay I started a to cry a little when you said, "You're doing a good job, I promise." Thank you for this video

Honestly I question myself everyday. Why is my house so messy? Why can't I do it all? Does anyone else ever feel this way? This was so needed for my heart and my soul! Seeing someone I admire struggling with the same issues. Thank you girl, thank you ❤😚

In a world full of vapid, superficial and materialistic influencers you, Katherine, are a breath of spring. Thank you!

I've lowered my expectations about as low as they can get! I don't even have any decorations up! If we get to it, great. The kids don't care (they're teens). I even told them they can put up the decorations if they want. My focus is on enjoying our time together, even if it's just sitting around the living room hanging out.

I can relate to that. Stress is tiring. My house is a wreck and it gets overwhelming. I don't have good housekeeping or decluttering skills. I do laundry, dishes, yard work, grocery shopping, and cooking and have a second job. Sometimes I do get started and that project makes an area "much better". So even if the overall house is awful, I can be happy about "much better".Sometimes getting started is overwhelming.

When you softly said “you’re doing a great job, I promise” I teared up a little bit. It was just so nice to hear and I really appreciate it, so Thankyou Kathryn 😊

Ladies I feel ever one of your sentiments....with life so many things happen and before you know it things get out of control...Between a surprise divorce, becoming Chronically Ill all the sudden,losing my last parent, and with 2 children one with learning disability and the other on the autistic spectrum disorder....it became overwhelming! Fast forward 3 years later and just starting to really see your surrounding and thinking how the heck did this happen....well it started that spiral of overwhelmed and Not knowing were exactly to start in putting thing back I order....Soo glad to finally be at a point that I can see though.....finding that starting point is still hard, work in progress...some days it is literally a minute by minute journey or hour by hour, the most important but the hardest thing is to get up and move....Hope everyone has a Blessed, Beautiful, and productive Day!!!

It's been a rough year. Those who have stuck with me through hard emotional times, they deserve me to be present and make every happy moment count! ❤️

It’s avoidance of stress, not procrastination....SUCH an eye opener! Why would I avoid stress when all it does is create MORE stress? I need to build a new habit of dealing with the small stress to avoid building the stress! But my favorite part was when you yelled out to your son as he was going to the bus to “be kind”! Best mom moment!

Thanks for this inspirational video!! You are doing an awesome job also!

You really speak to my heart. I have three kids under the age of 6 and I deal with anxiety. It mostly comes from unrealistic expectations I place on myself. God is asking me to take a step back, do less, and enjoy the moment. It's hard but so rewarding! We all thrive in a clean and tidy home but I find when I place God and family higher on my priority list, we're less stressed in general, which usually means my husband helps out more around the house! I so appreciate your channel ❤️

Love your channel! Agreed with your notion of living more “present”. I find that the everyday stress of cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, etc takes me away from spending quality time with my kids. I have major OCD when it comes to cleaning and I find that it constantly disrupts my fun time with them because I cannot “let go” and want everything to be spotless. I keep trying to remind myself that when they grow up, my kids will remember me as cleaning all of the time rather than playing with them and it makes me sad! I’m glad that I am not alone on this one....and I too “pile and procrastinate”.

Kathryn, I must tell you that seeing you today was truly a God thing! I subcribe to your channel, but have been so busy, now sick with a bad cold! But without any negativity here, because you are so uplifting, I was at my last straw. I, and my husband are guardians of our great granddaughter, and we were all sick. I am so tired during this season, and now sick. But, you put everything into perspective! Thank you Kathryn, but more importantly, thank you Lord.

Thanks to KZreadrs like you, I have learned how to clean and actually decorate at 40+ years old. Your courage in showing the good, bad, and nasty (and how to fix it) has been a resource beyond price to me. Thank you!

I love your channel. I am old but how much I would have loved this when I was a young mom. You are rocking it.

My kids are grown, but I remember those days! Just keep investing in those precious kiddos, the dirt and clutter will get cleaned when it gets cleaned. My daughters have wonderful memories of special times doing gingerbread houses and construction paper projects with me at Christmas. They love to reminisce - I love when I don’t even remember but they do! You know what they’ve never said? “I remember/love how clean our house was!” Keep on keeping on - you’re doing great and you’re a wonderful Mom! ❤️

It’s so hard to remember; especially during the hustle and bustle of the Holiday seasons, to appreciate the little things. We always strive for perfection. We expect too much of ourselves. I find myself breaking down in tears daily during the holidays because of the pressure I put on myself. This video reminded me to stop, take a breath and make those memories....not the perception of perfection!

With anxiety, I usually struggle at the holidays. This year we started a business, so my husband and I are both struggling, hoping that it all works out and we succeed. Our daughter will be the only one with presents this year. We're thankful for the little things, like instead of thawing turkey for tacos tonight, my parents bought us take out, so my husband will use the fresh produce I bought as salads for his lunches. A double blessing.

I’m ready to kill this mentality that everything has to perfect when in all reality, your family is all you need to have your perfect. You really inspire me to be there for my family, and stop putting “perfect” first. Thank you, and merry Christmas 🎄

I am a college student and let me tell you procrastination used to be my best friend. I needed inspiration one day and stumbled upon Mel Robert's channel. Her talks are super motivating and they make you feel like you can tackle the world. I also enjoy watching your channel. As I moved into my first apartment you helped me keep my home organized and on a budget! Who doesn't love holiday decor on a budget

I normally find this time of year hard - there is so much to do and I totally lack motivation for it, it's dark here almost all day and the weather is horrible. This year is my first year as a teacher and life even more 'full' now, but everyday the 4 and 5 year olds I spend my days with remind me of the pure joy of Christmas. It's not the big things they tell me about, it's the special book that they're reading with their family, or the walk in the park to see Santa or decorating biscuits. One of them told me yesterday that he asked Santa if he knew me and Santa said that of course, he did and that I was definitely on the nice list. Such a simple thing made my heart dance with happiness. I hope I can always remember to be a child at heart!

Wow 😍❤️🥰 🙏😘 Who else feels like you’re drowning is mess, responsibilities, and life... and that this video was the real, honest, refreshing, blessing you needed to remember that you’re not alone and that we can do it! I’m running to go clean now; gonna make a video about it too.

Sorry for your loss. They say grief never goes away, it just changes. Maybe you can create a new tradition of making a special time around the holidays to remember him, with family or alone. Look at photos, share memories. That way, you can begin to build sweet (bittersweet but still sweet) associations with him+the holidays. Do it at the beginning of the season to put yourself in a strong, grounded head space, knowing he loved you and would want you to cherish the holidays, not dread them. Hugs to you

😞😞😞 I feel your pain. I have lost 3 at Christmas time now. And I hate that it just takes a word, a sound, a smell, to make me break out in tears. But I have found that it does help to acknowledge it and set time aside to feel it and let it go. Again. Even if It IS every year, I find that it makes it a bit easier that I keep making time to remember them and feel their absence.

Thank you. I really need this motivation. This is the season that I feel the most overwhelmed and stressed. But this video has helped me put everything in prospective ❤️

Thank you for being so real and authentic. I definitely appreciate it!
