00:02 So as a wife and mother,

00:03 a big chunk of my time is spent

00:06 at the kitchen sink doing dishes.

00:08 I mean, crushed up cereal, sweeping the floor,

00:10 endless cycle of putting away toys.

00:12 My point is, is there's a lot of housework to be done.

00:14 Something I've seen a lot of my friends doing

00:16 that I really love,

00:17 kind of like a hack to make it mentally easier

00:20 to get through these tasks.

00:21 There are these images and statues

00:23 of the Blessed Virgin Mary doing housework.

00:25 And people put these images and statues

00:28 on the windowsill in the kitchen.

00:30 I've seen them on their dressers,

00:32 just around the house, wherever.

00:33 Honestly, sometimes folding laundry and doing dishes

00:37 is the last thing I wanna do.

00:39 So being able to look at this depiction of Mary

00:41 doing the same thing

00:42 is sometimes just the perfect motivation that I need.

00:46 Is this something you've seen or something you wanna try?

00:48 Let us know in the comments.
