Helping a Struggling Family w/ Packing and Cleaning - Collab with Midwest Magic Cleaning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Last month I traveled to Illinois to support Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning as he was struggling through autistic burnout. He and I both have similar autistic traits and, even in the midst of burnout, it's hard not to stay busy. Though the home we are working on together in this video isn't the typical kind we usually do and wasn't hoarded or really that dirty, it was necessary to do something a little easier as Mack is still struggling from burnout and I don't feel like I have ever fully recovered from mine, but it did help to be with someone else who understands it and this home was perfect for just keeping our minds busy doing something we love, plus it just feels good to help someone else who is struggling.

Mack changing light bulbs without a ladder or tiptoes, I’m so jealous!!
Came because of Midwest Cleaning and subscribed because I love watching cleaning channels! ❤️
You two are a couple of the kindest content creators on RUclips. I can’t imagine how grateful the elderly parents were in getting that done. Prayers for the struggling family
I agree with you there. Imagine the parents being able to walk in there, hopefully with someone helping them to lift and remove those tubs and bags. You've just made an extremely stressful time of their lives just that much easier, Bonnie. You and Mack do work so well as a team, and I understand how difficult it is for you to travel. Much love. Xx
Those bright “daylight” bulbs cast a blue hue rather than a warm orange-ish glow and they instantly make me angry! Isn’t funny how we all like different things?!
It is funny. 😁
You are more accurate than you think. Years ago I saw a documentary on lights and lighting. It was fascinating. For instance, the flourescent lights in offices etc. they did a study on them in relation to people’s moods. At the time I worked in a bank & we had that lighting only lower ( in height ) than usual. My co workers and I swore it affected our moods & that doc. confirmed that. Also I remember the huge tall lights that are on our highways ( USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 ) they found would affect peoples moods in a negative way. I’m 70 yrs old and I saw that in the 1980’s, never looked at light the same. So lighting definitely has an affect on us. Thanks for your comment. 💡💡
Thank you Mac and Bonnie. All you do is appreciated.
I'm Canadian, very fond of Moose and wolves. I just hope that no Moose or wolves were harmed in the creation of this video.
I'm an unapologetic cat person. I like dogs, but I was raised by cats. 😊
I didn't use full force on my moose punch, so I can honestly say no moose or wolves were harmed in the making of this video. 😁
Are problem in Canada are house hippos
“A ‘MOOSE’T SEE COLLABORATION”.
Brilliant! 🤩 Love it! 🥰
Prayers for your lovely friend who is struggling with chronic illness. Bless you for helping her with her home and other needs she has.
It’s wild watching this video 2 months later and knowing this is now Mack’s house.
Right!?!😊
Is it me? Or am I seeing something between these two?
I love dim lights when I’m trying to relax and enjoy a calm vibe but when I’m trying to clean - absolutely need BRIGHT LIGHTS!
So true!
Yeah, same for me! Though I actually struggle with bright lights when I'm not doing anything, and ever since I got a nice pair or sunglasses I'm like omg, how did I survive all these years in bright sunlight without one 😅 (I'm autistic too btw)
Dim lights for movie watching, of course. Bright for crafting because I am sadly middle-aged.
This ! Bright big light for cleaning, focus stuff, and checking the actual colours of fabrics. Dim lights are for the mood and my night owl life
@@AntjedePantje he’s bright sunlight really hurts my eyes and so does my phone if I’ve been in a dark room.
This house is totally a landlord special. The yellow surround. The sink shoved to the wall without a way to clean the side. The pealing tile. Man.
All I have to say is, they better get their deposit back…I mean the cleaning process is fully documented!
Oh Bonnie I just LOVE YOU!!! Thank you so much for the shout out again!! I am so extra double motivated NOW! You’re the BEST!!! ❤❤❤❤
Sending hugs and prayers your way Cammy.
Of course, my friend! You deserve it. I'm glad you have worked out the monetization stuff.
Oh, and Rebecca, this is a different Cammy than my sick friend. But, funny enough, this Cammy (from American Wife) is where I got the alias for my friend, so I understand how it would be confusing that I shouted out Cammy's RUclips channel and then also mentioned my sick friend Cammy. 😁
@@CammyHell Lol My bad.😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp haha that comfused me too but now i understand. 🙏🏼
I subscribed to American wife channel 😊
The fact that the only people I follow on RUclips are all friends literally makes my heart explode
You guys are GREAT! Bonnie punching the Moose 🫎 then dressing it in a pink frilly dress is hilarious. I love the house 🏡 , it’s so cute. I feel privileged to see you and Mack on the same video! Take care to you Bonnie and Mack. Love from Moose 🫎 country, B.C. Canada 🇨🇦 🫎♥️
It is Mack's turn to travel to you and Barbie. Great job
Who needs a ladder when you have Mack!
Punching the moose teddy was pretty unexpected and funny 🤣
Putting a dress on the moose was pretty cute too.
I love the little clicky noises when the cleaning is sped up. It's comforting somehow, which is surprising given the presence of moose.
Mack looks like he’s fencing 🤺 or in a sword duel when he’s vacuuming. Yeah!! Attack that carpet!!
The creepy bathroom spider house "I hope it's low rent" 😂
😁
Yess that was great! Lmao
That fridge was barely worse than my fridge. One of my favorite parts of MMC videos is the sped up talking which sounds like mice making fun of him and critiquing what he's doing.🐭🐭🐭
Hahaha! Right? I was calling it "alien beep-boop-beep"
I call the sped up talking Chipmunk 🐿️ chatter!!
They sound like the old cartoon … Chip and Dale, two chipmunks. 🐿️
That tub was a pain with the shower door glue. You are brave to open those refrigerators. Teamwork!!
"I hope it's really low rent"
as someone with severe arachnophobia, I felt so uneasy when you couldn't see the spider anymore. I felt that knee-jerk reaction in my soul. But the fact that you hoped the spidey would have low rent on his little creepy spider-home made me smile.
Oh, poor moose... "I'm a friendly moose just trying to say hello"
😁
Bonnie, you really impressed us with your cleaning skills! That bathroom after was amazing. Mack doesn’t do inside of refrigerators, and watching you remove an oven door in another video has taught me something new! I am a new subscriber!
And Mack doesn’t need a step stool to replace those lights!!!
I noticed that! I had to do a double-take! 😊😊😊
😁
Two of my favorite RUclips creators . Thank for the laughs,compassion kindness and motivation.
The Moose! 😍
Video - shows Bonnie and Mac thoroughly scrubbing and sanitizing surfaces most people never even consider cleaning. Mac's voiceover - we didn't do a deep clean. 🤣 But seriously, love your channel and appreciate all the wonderful things you do!
Hahaha...yeah, I actually thought the same thing. 😅However, there was a lot more I wanted to do to consider it more of a deep cleaning.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp this is why you guys are the pros!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp this is why you guys are the professionals!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp that's why you guys are the professionals!
❤
Bonnie you have the sweetest voice and I can imagine how super sweet you are.❤
Yes bright lights are the best and you can see the moose laying in the corner
Who’s rewatching after Mac’s announcement?
I had the same thought!! They are both crushing on each other!
Beans wins the floof contest, paws down 😻
What a partnership. You guys are truly great. Total inspiration.
Thanks so much!
The more light the better 😀❤️
I came here after watching Mac’s video. Thank you both for helping others ❤🇨🇦
Love this collaboration!
The Scrubbing sounds, sound like Bees a-buzzin 🐝🐝🐝🐝
So Cute 🥰
YES! Finally! That’s it! I always loved the scrubby sounds but couldn’t get a correct analogy of its sound. Bees!!!! Happy little bees!!!!!
Bonnie,, I pack that way. I have moved all over montana with the drawers full. It doesn't make sense to me to pack and lose the clothes when they are all ready contained!!
Thanks for working with Mack on this clean. You did a good job keeping up with him on the moose jokes!!
I know it makes for a longer video, but having this combo of yours and Mac's footage made for a good watch.
This reminds me of when a really bad thing happened in my family (my brother in law - 25, brand new dad - died of depression). my husband and i had moved just several days prior and still needed to clean out our old apartment. Our whole life was in boxes.
Unbenknownst to me, I had been dealing with autistic burnout for months by that point and the old apartment was a WRECK. It was unlike anything I've ever left in an apartment - my shame over that was massive.
It just so bad that we couldn't even begin to wrap our heads around it and were just going to have to eat he deposit and hope they didn't try to take even more, but a cleaning company of a family friend did this for us.
You guys, this is god's work. I'm a bit of an atheist, so that's not really my thing, but you're doing divine work. You're practically clergy tbh. Thank you so much for your effort and your kindness. This is the type of behind the scenes work that Jesus talked about when he said you should pray in closets and not stand on the street corner. Thank you from the absolutely bottom of my heart.
Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. I've had a bit of a rough week as I'm still dealing with my own burnout and don't really see an end in sight as the empathetic part of me just wants to keep helping people in these desperate situations. I was sort of fantasizing a couple of days ago about checking myself into a Mental Health institution just to force myself to not do anything for a couple of weeks. Anyway, reading your comment just reminded me why I started this channel in the first place. When I tell you it was not my idea, it really wasn't. I never in a million years would have started this Channel and putting myself out there to be scrutinized by millions of people except for the fact that I felt called to do it as a way to serve God and take care of my fellow brothers and sisters here on Earth. That being said, I also know that He did not mean for me to give up my own sanity to do this and I do need to take care of myself so that I can take care of others. I'm just having a hard time figuring out what that looks like, but comments like this do give me energy to keep going. I really appreciate you sharing that experience. And I hope you are in a better place now and don't beat yourself up over having to leave that place in such a state. It's just too much sometimes and we all have a breaking point. That, above all, is what I want to get across to viewers is that kindness really does matter and EVERYONE needs help sometimes. 🙏❤️❤️❤️
You are correct about light and depression.
The moose dress is EVERYTHING!
Bonnie, I just love this collaboration with you & Mack! ❤You two did such a fantastic job cleaning & packing up this home. You both are amazing! 🎉Thank you for the love & care you put into all you do!! ❤
You have a Beautiful Heart God Bless. You❤❤❤ sending up prayers
Did anyone else think for a second that they had clicked on one of. Mack's videos because of the thumbnail, "A MOOSE-T see"? 😂 I did.
My favorite part was when Bonnie did some jujitsu move on the moose and then dressed him in what appears to be a tutu.. 😅
P.S. #teamDakota,
😁That little tutu was actually a dog costume that belonged to the homeowners. I wish I had thought to bring my own little costumes for Mr. Friendly House Moose so that I could leave him in a little outfit. 😄
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp It was adorable! I love it! ❤️
Wow! Such a wonderful job. Even after traveling too. But….More than anything I am super impressed of how easily you can fold a fitted sheet perfectly. Just today I tried and even watched a RUclips video and it still ended up in a ball inside the bin. lol!
Team dim bulb here. I'll get the dimmest bulbs I can and then hang scarves over the lampshades. I am so sensitive to light.
I'm a school custodian so I love getting to scrape and chisel at various stuff with my assortment of razor blades and attachments! It's so satisfying to make tape and paint and stickers etc disappear! I loved your inclusion of Mack's terminology, especially as regarding the wolves and mooses. Meeses? Whatever their plurality is, they are a menace! You might snag ahold of a cheap screwdriver handled scraper from Harbor Freight, which is good at giving leverage in tight spaces. I sometimes use it to assist in using a scrubber pad.
Menace mooses, indeed! 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion of using a screwdriver to get into those tight places. That's a genius idea!
I agree. Lots of light for the best mood. Don't know how people can sit in the dark.
9:01 - I had to slow this part waaaaaaay down, 'cause I'm always in awe of anyone who can fold fitted sheets with apparent ease - it's MAGIC! Maybe Mack's Moose Magic!!!
Am I the only person who always feels bad for the friendly house moose? If it wasn't so hot in FL I would invite him to my house....
😁👍
I feel sorry for him too. 😟🙁😢 . He's welcome at my house anytime! I have a little friend named Arthur Moosie-Boosie who would love to meet him! 🥰🤗🦌.
Loved the moose! Definitely needs to be a regular guest 🤞😍 🫎
Prayers coming! ❤
Praying for Cammy for healing and God's blessings and presence to be surrounded her. ❤
I love when y'all collab!! So fun to watch!
Bonnie, your Moose punching skills are incredible! You tamed that moose with a pink outfit! And Mack packs Wolves like no one else! Incredible! Ty both for helping your friend, you both took alot of stress of their shoulders for a sigh of relief for one more thing, while supporting eachother through understandable conditions while continuing forward. You are all the best.
Lol, thank you!
Great job dear ❤
I absolutely love dim lights. I have stigmatisms in my eyes, and bright lights really hurt my vision.
Well, they do call Mac Johnny Moose-Defender back in Grand Rapids. "Hey, is that Johnny Moose-Defender?" "I don't know -- tell an off-color joke about a moose, and see if he gets up and leaves. I bet he does!" 🤣
I'm always Team Kitty-cat. 🙂🐈❤
My dad always tried to encourage me when I would go through some rough times. I would feel extremely overwhelmed, like I was not good enough, and at a point where I just wanted to give up. He would tell me that, “We can only do what we can do with the time and resources we have or are given at the time we are doing it.” It seems like such a simple statement, but it is complex at the same time. It tells me that, 1) I am good enough, 2) I am doing something that has made a difference that wouldn’t have been made otherwise, and 3) I am only human.
What you, Mack, Barbie, and Aurikatarina do DOES make a huge impact on so many lives; not only those of whom you are helping. How many comments have you all gotten that tell you that your videos have given someone the inspiration to get up and clean something? All it takes is one voice to be heard in the darkness and all of you guys together makes a roar in the crowd. Rest and recharge when you need to. Take care of yourselves when needed. We will be here for support when you need and unfortunately that also comes with the whining bridge trolls who think their misery should saturate the air waves. There are more of us who love you and can drown out their ugly. Many prayers and much love.
I love watch you, mack, and barbie❤❤❤
Yeah!!! Mack and Bonnie in the same video!!!
I hate traveling through airports too. I would also rather drive. Airplanes are horrible.
The bright lights really do make a big difference, you are not alone with that!!
My family has ADHD and we are light sensitive. So our home is dim. It's such a relief when we leave a bright location.
Failure to thrive is no joke it's amazing that you're helping cammie out! I'm sure it's a blessing for her and her family
Love the Moose! You both are wonderful!
Bonnie you did really well to travel to Mack. Great job helping those people. You’re a kind soul.😊
Thank you for all your hard work.
Bonnie you did a great job of explaining the wolves 😂 . It's good to have Mac's audio explanation. I love that. The way he explains stuff is genius.
I love when you guys work together !! Great job 👍🇨🇦❤
It has to be nice to clean a non hoarded house. I think both of you deserve a break.😊
Awesome job! I cant believe people complain about the sped up voices. Wait, yes i can because people love to find something to gripe about.
😅👍
I don’t like traveling either! It’s exhausting! I did it when I was younger and it was tiring then too. I need my things and routines that are at home and having to be “on” and social day after day is too much for me.
Sending you love, Bonnie.
I hope you take a break when needed.
I know Mack’s sense of humor I’m thinking there’s never a dull moment! 🤔❤️👍🏼
Yeah, he's a crackup. 😁
The kindness you two displayed in this video really touched my heart. We are in our late 70's, and several years ago helped a granddaughter move from one house, and a daughter from another. Others helped, but my husband put himself in charge of truck loading. Exhausting, plus one house was filthy, animal urine, etc...very very hard on all. After moving ourselves, friends, relatives for so very many years, we are finally recognized as "old." Now, we help my 98 year old mother keep up with her home and an ongoing sort there and in our own. Never really ends, does it?
Thank you and Mack for the Care and Love you give to these families and homes. That was so kind to have so much done for the elderly parents, really took a huge part of the burden off of them. This family and Cami are in my thoughts and prayers.
What a great job you all did! May God bless you for all your hard work!
I'm a Team Beans gal. Always been a cat person. ❤❤❤😺😺😺
Loved the " moos-ed see collaboration!!🎉❤🎉❤😅😅😅😊😊
Tyfs!! Tysm for flying & helping mack!! Youre both awesome!
😁👍
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp seems Mack's rubbing off on you!?? 🤪😁😁❤️❤️🤕💯
You guys are just amazing people how you help people for free.,it's great to see kindness in this world.
I am so happy you are real, and telling why you probably won't be joining the next collab. I recognize so much of me in you, when it comes to travelling/energy management and so on.
Sending you a big hug 🫶🏻😘
Yeah, I'm hopeful that when Mack reaches a million subscribers, maybe he can afford to buy us all a portal to transport between all of these places.😅
I hope when we do our big collab that includes you, we can do it here in Utah because I can come pick you up from the airport since it's only about an hour away and you don't need the extra hassle of getting a rental car and all that.
Loving the moose cameos!
Thank you for this inspiring informative magic . Great work ❤
Awesome collab! I'm glad all of the wolves were relocated before the clean. They really don't like the smell of chemicals. Nice jab on the table moose though! I'm sure it learned it's lesson being all on the table like that!
😁
Paper towel shuffle 😂
You are so kind to help out other people like you do! May God bless you always. 😊 I will be praying for Cammy!
🙏
Who knew that taming a wild moose involved a pink tutu!!
😁
Thank you Bonnie for all you do!!! Great job!
Absolutely 💯 percent fabulous job to the both of you.!!!!!Love what you do& are personally truly grateful. Xxxxxxxxxxx All the way from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😍 ❤️
Wonderful! Thank you both! A compassionate cleaning.... bye
You are a great team!!❤❤❤😂😂😂
You two are the most kindest, authentic in the biz and love your collaborations🙏❤️
I love clean clothes and the smell of laundry or folding laundry like you do.
I could watch you folding laundry, correctly all day. Especially tucking blankets.
Both of my kids have a Dx of autism. Older kiddo is nonverbal but loves watching me fold or hang clothes. I love laundry. It is peaceful? Folding laundry makes us BOTH in the zone. Watching laundry is maybe a stim.
There is absolutely something peaceful about folding laundry. You just got that sense of "ahhhhh" when you do it. And, yes, watching laundry be folded might even be better. 😊❤️
LOL! I love the moose in the pink dress! Too funny!
That 360-looking shot at the top of the kitchen looks awesome!
❤ Sorry for the troubles your friend faced, and I am so glad she had such supportive people to help. Thank you for being there ❤❤ 🙏 for cami 🙏❤️
😍
