Feel like I’m constantly disorganised since becoming a mum

I used to be a PA and prided myself on being super organised but since being a mum I feel like I’m constantly chasing my tail, disorganised, loosing things etc. It’s driving me mad !!! And I’m a SAHM so I have no excuse really but I just can’t get on top of anything.

For example I bought my toddler 3 new hats this week and I already can’t find any of them!

And my house is always a mess even though I tidy up multiple times a day and I feel like I’m only ever getting round to surface cleans despite using my toddler’s nap time to get it done.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get more organised please ?!? Even things like hoovering becomes a nightmare as the hoover disturbs my little one when asleep but then trying to do it when they are awake is impossible !

Sorry, no advice here. Mine are 17 and 14 and whilst the house is a lot less messy, I’m still never on top of anything (laundry and cleaning), just waiting for them to go to Uni now so that there’s less to wash and clean!

I do like tidy cupboards though, so everything has its place. Maybe try this?

Welcome to mum life. I’ve 3 small boys. I clean up after them all day long. I involve them in tidy -ups. I get a cleaner every week. House only looks great for 5 minutes after she leaves 🤣 then it’s back to mayhem.
