In today's episode of Cultivate Contentment, I'm diving into the reality of maintaining a tidy house and a tidy mind amidst the inevitable dust and chaos of farmhouse living. As someone living on a farm, I know firsthand the constant struggle with dirt, dust, and clutter that seem to infiltrate every nook and cranny of an old farmhouse. With three active boys and a farmer husband who often brings a bit of the farm indoors, keeping things tidy can feel like a never-ending battle. But instead of aiming for an unrealistic, picture-perfect Instagram home, I focus on practical strategies that help maintain a balance, promoting both a tidy house and a calm mind.
