I've been having a reset weekend this weekend, and it's just encouraging to see someone else have a similar experience. The laundry, cleaning, shopping for needs, and getting in a quick workout - those are all things I did too! I appreciate that you don't romanticize life like a lot of other people do on youtube. Your reset is real and relatable.

yes! Happy resetting! It's interesting and honestly a battle inside my head. I wish I could romanticize my life but a) we don't have the funds and b) we move so often that it's just a waste of energy and money if we were to romanticize everything you know? Not to mention we've got two kids! Our time goes to them more than anything!

I appreciate you showing the “mundane” aspects of life. Especially when you are a mamma and the laundry/cleaning never ends. Putting these tasks into a positive/grateful mindset helps so much! I’ve found just saying to myself, “I’m grateful to have a washer and dryer and nice clothes to wear and clothes for my baby” helps when the tasks feel thankless and endless.

yes, gosh I love that. I'm obviously learning as I go but my mindset has really shifted with just reminding myself that mundane is normal and even good. So, thanks for sharing these words.

Amen! We need more realistic people like you no matter how “boring” people may say it is. I love the simplicity and honesty in your videos 😍 you do you! ☺️

So refreshing. I feel less alone. Thank you for showing the “realness.”

Thank you to show the normal real life. The frustration born with the resistance of the present. It's right what you said -where I am it's exactly where I have to stay-. It's a work , it's not an happy hour on our selfs . Its a special work that can conduce us to the new World .

I appreciate a normal day video. I agree too many people get caught up in comparison to others. Simple is so much better.

It's just more realistic. I feel like so many issues stem from our expectations of ourselves to "be this" or "live like her". I've been there and it's so exhausting!

Your humility, authenticity and showing you don’t have it all together is sooo refreshing! Keep humble, keep genuine and shining for Christ! I love how you show up the little hiccups that happen in plans and such with grace and laughter. I’m sure it’s not always laughter but His grace shines through in your rolling with it and keeping focused on Him! Even double hole punches 😂👏😀💗

I love how real you are it’s so refreshing!!! Thanks for being you😄

Just found your channel this morning and I love it! My favorite way to "reset" is to do housework so i didn't find this boring at all. I'd never heard of red light therapy so I'm intrigued by that and I just had to laugh at the "aesthetic" non-moment with the hot choc and the spill. You have a great mindset for the ups and downs!

I like to do Art's and Craft's, exercise, meditate, and take a bath. I call it a self care day! I try to color, or exercise twice a week. Then when I have time I meditate, or take a bath!

Hi Margaret. I'm a mother of 3, working for a company with schedules. Not easy to do it all, but your videos reminds me that ours life's are all so similar. All of us are struggling with something. Thank you for charing your real life 😘

Margaret, I am so unbelievably grateful to have found your channel! It was Dawn from The Minimal Mom who linked to a beautiful post you shared which was like a sweet and honest testimony. Since then I have been watching your gorgeous videos which I find soothe my soul each time! This one has just helped me instantly to calm and embrace the fact that my much-anticipated reset day yesterday didn’t go anything like I hoped or planned. I get so down on myself for not being productive enough and really struggle with that. I am so grateful for you choosing and embracing “realistic in everything you shared. It was beautiful, so helpful and put a genuine smile on my face. Thanks for being a lovely, kind and encouraging voice xxx

Absolutely love your honesty! Thank you.

I’m laughing every time you say how boring your video is because it surely isn’t. Also so glad you mentioned the “comparing our lives” because I’m also currently working on that. At first I would use it as inspo but it started to be really frustrating when I wasn’t doing what they were doing or parenting the way they did. Then again we only really see max 30 min of their life. Thank you for reminding me what’s “normal” not that what other ppl are doing isn’t normal but that everyone is just doing their own thing. I just love you and your content so much. You’re just so genuine and simple. ♥️
