I'm so glad to have finally found a cleaning channel with someone who has a normal sized house, a normal job and realistic house messes! Everything about your channel is so relatable and you're going to just keep growing!
Wow; I don’t even know where to begin to describe how amazing you are. You are the Mother Teresa of struggling house cleaners, depressed souls, those who beat ourselves up, judge our failings and all who are barely hanging on by the skin of our teeth! Thank you for your kindness, gentle words of support, acceptance, and love. I wish you were my next-door-neighbor. You seem like the best of best friends. I recently found your channel and have been so inspired. Please keep sharing your gift and uplifting the world. You are an angel!!!♥️♥️♥️
I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. Cleaning is massively difficult for me, but I'm listening to your videos while cleaning, because it's encouraging. Thank you for posting!
I really have to thank you for mentioning menopause and how bloody difficult life can be during and after menopsuse. I've found myself unable to work, unable to function properly. It really helps to hear a young woman who understands....thank you so much...xxxx
Thank you dear for being so personal and honest and for all thoughts you shared. I live with Aspergers and ADHD and since I live alone I rarly care to tidy my home... Along with this video I decluttered for an hour which for me is the longest in a year ... You gave motivation!!
I am one of those clean people who haven't been blessed with a husband or kids yet. I want to thank you for explaining how your mind works, how the mess is made, and taking time for self care. I was mostly judgemental of people who couldn't keep a clean house, but you have changed my perspective. I like how you said you wouldn't look back on your life and think I wish I would've cleaned more. I just found your channel and watched all of your videos. I can't get enough of your voice. Thank you for helping me understand, and it makes me want to help the moms in my life. Cleaning videos relax me and you've helped me so much.
You’re a lovely person, thank you for being understanding and wanting to see things through the eyes of others. I’m sure with these qualities you will make a great partner/parent one day (should you choose to go down that path) ❤️
Remi - Please try and ignore those "negative Nellies" out there. You are a great mom and are doing a wonderful job each and every day. You have a kind spirit and patient attitude and are an inspiration to us all. Be sure to be good to you. Blessings and hugs and smiles from Michigan, U.S A. - Judith 🎵 🎭
Yes preach! 👏🏻 👏🏻 I remember exactly where I was standing when I realized I would never be happy with my housekeeping when my expectations were so high. That’s perfectionism telling me I’m not finished until the whole house is done. I was standing in front of the washing machine when I realized the only way to be “finished” with the laundry is to be naked! How ridiculous is that?! Perfectionism is the worst :(
Remi I don't know exactly why, but the last few minutes of this video brought me to tears. Maybe it's because I am one of those married single parents. I am home all day with my four children and I do ALL of the work around the house. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, trying to be the best mom I can be, homeschooling, yard work...everything! By 7 PM I just want to be left alone and not bothered with anything or anyone. I'm irritable and my husband and kids get the worst side of me. It's tiring trying to do everything by yourself!
I'm in tears as I near the end of this video. So much truth, transparency, and heart + cleaning motivation all wrapped into one. Thank you so much for this blessing and what feels like a therapy session lol Praying you and your precious family are blessed beyond measure. ❤
I love that you do a continuous voiceover and not just play music! Thank you for taking the time to do that and for sharing your thoughts. Looking forward to your declutter video. I think having decluttered some will make maintenance so much easier for you and your family (it did for me).
I appreciate you, Remi. When I was a young mother,I made the mistake of choosing to try and keep a clean home over spending time with my youngest son. Now my youngest is almost 27 years old, on his own, living in New York, having his own life, and it really hit me hard when you said that you cherished quality time with your boys over cleaning. I wished I had let those dirty dishes in the sink wait when he was calling out to me to play with him. If given a chance to do it all over again, I would choose sword fights with my youngest over folding clean laundry. Time is fleeting, Remi. Always choose time with your boys over anything else in the world. ❤❤❤❤
You owe no explanation about your family or your house but I enjoyed listening to you. You are so articulate and well spoken, and I wish you well. You're doing what you can and that counts.
Remi, if no one haven't told it to you today, you're awesome! You're a star! You're a great motivation to us all. And this is the comment that doesn't need to be answered 😀 Just know that we love you!
If you'd be the perfectly ripe, sweetest and juiciest peach on the planet, there would always be people that simply don't like peaches. I only hope you read more positive comments on your channel than negative ones, after all the hard work you do and the inspiring, honest and impressive narration you add here. ❤
I’m only 9:37 minutes into your video and that was while driving to an appointment. I had a rough night with my grand dog and my house is torn apart for painting. My anxiety is through the roof BUT you have already calmed me down. I will listen on my way home BUT I will watch and re-watch this, I’m sure, many times. It’s like affirmation for me: you help me understand what I need to be grateful for and to just breathe
Ā friend came over the other day and I was excusing the mess, when my friend said, 'I think it's lovely, it looks lived in.' I needed to hear that so much.
@@Its_me.89 , I normally do a short walk about the place to see what is most important and then I look for cleaning products and materials to clean. I start and end with the toilet so the product in the toilet can do it work. Dry cleaning before wet cleaning. Dirty things after cleaner, vacuum cleaning before mopping the floor. Windows last if you have time and energy.
I’ve tried to motivate myself in many ways but to no avail. I think getting a few good products that you love (thinking Method but only when on offer) & some washing up gloves helps but being too regimented doesn’t work for me. Doing just 10 mins against the timer in each room made it, dare I say it, fun rather than a burden. I can’t wait to do that each day(ish) & start to see & feel a slow, gradual, positive result in each room/area. Remi has definitely changed things for me, bless her, with the revelation of executive dysfunction (yes!) & her realistic and extremely wise attitude 💜🥰❤️
I would love a decluttering series, cause I dont know where to start. My kids are grown ups, a son and a daughter and one grand child who is 19. My appartment is a mess. I just cant get rid of anything, mostly things from my kids, all those memories. I am a messy person but also seeking perfection. Enjoy your kids, time goes so QuickTime, soon they are grown ups. I admit that I dont really know what to do the rest of my life. My family is my everything. I lost my soulmate five years ago so… and my son is very sick since he was a child, its sad and its lonely. Excuse my English, grannar and misspelling
I cried so much during this cleaning 🥲. I feel understood. The judgmental voices that tell me “I’m not doing enough” and other horrible words go away for a little when I hear your voice😢. I don’t feel crazy and I see a path to wellness, happiness, healthy productivity and most importantly peace with self. May God continue to give you all the strength you need and bless your beautiful family ❤
Sweetie, I love your videos! You can represent the neurodivergent among us, any time! I can hardly function for my autistic freeze. And it is impossible sometimes to accomplish anything! I struggle against it everyday.
I think that you are a super mum, as I live alone with my dog, am 66 years young, and just can not get motivated to do any cleaning! You have all your life on your plate, yet you get so much done. I really think that you are incredible, and I take my hat off to you! xxx
I couldn’t have said it better! Word for Word!! From a young woman to now an old woman! I applaud you , honesty! I had no children and did have a dishwasher & a clothes dryer ! It still was a drudgery!! Your channel doesn’t only motivate, but remind me it’s ok I’m unable to physically do what I did anymore! My epitaph will not have memories of how clean my floors were! Lol Much luv , ♥️✝️🇺🇸 Ps- you should consider writing!
Your videos have helped me so much for the past few days. I haven't cleaned my room in about a year due to mental health issues. Your videos have given me so much motivation lately, my room is almost completely cleaned and I would just like to thank you!
For the first time, RUclips has actually provided me with a real RUclipsr who is really real. I'm watching your video and listening at the same time. I truly respect you for showing what real life is like instead of all the plinky plonky music. You've shown that this is an every day thing. You can't just declutter and call it a day. You covered every ground in this video. I wish I could shake you by the hand, give you a big hug and say Thank You. Honestly, you've done more in this video than any therapist could provide. I also thank you RUclips algorithm for bringing your video and channel to my feed. All the best to you. I need to share this video now. I know many who need this. Thanks again. I appreciate you 👍🏼👍🏼🤲🏾🙏🏽🌞
I love your ramblings while watching you clean your home! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM! My sons are grown men with families of their own now. We have precious memories and of all of them no one ever says, "Remember the messy sofa pillows? Or remember the toys strewn everywhere?" No not one! They remember the fun, the love and the safe space to grow and learn! You are awesome!❤ God bless you and your precious family! I miss the chaos and the loud house, but the crumbs on the floor, not so much! Lol😂
I grew up in a home where my mother had to have everything tidy, clean and in order 24/7. As a now 32 year old, I can tell you it did more damage than good having an obsessively clean mom. Mess is alright.
Remi, you are the best cleaning inspo channel for fellow neurodivergents. I have ADHD and going on my medication was the first time in my life I did not feel this constant overwhelm and anxiety of every part of life - especially housework/organisation and it is exhausting. Add in the CFS and fibromyalgia it’s impossible to keep on top and not have a flare up/miss out on time with family. I am pregnant again and completely underestimated how hard it would be without my medication during pregnancy.. your videos are a comfort it’s nice to know there are more of me out there who have similar struggles everyday! Thank you soo much for sharing your truth with us all x
It is so good to hear you are having children with Fibro! My Sister in law has it, and she refuses to become pregnant because she is afraid of the pain. Could you tell me, does it get much worse while you are pregnant?
Thanks for showing a real cleaning video. I have a dog and a 5 year old and I feel like the cleaning never ends. And thank you for the voice over. I appreciate you.
Sadly, any form of social media attracts people who thrive on tearing other people down. I really hope you don't let it get you down. You are wonderfully and beautifully AUTHENTIC❤ Which is a very rare quality to see. Keep doing you, and please don't dim your light for anyone🙏
Thank you for being my cleaning buddy this week. Both my husband and myself suffer with chronic pain & mental health problems and it's been a particularly bad few months for us. I've had your videos, and a few other creators, playing whilst I've finally taken care of some much neglected parts of the house. From thousands of km's away here in South Australia you have brought some comfort and motivation 😊
I’ll never have a perfect home because that’s just not how I am. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, a crumbling spine and need two new knees but I try my best. I do what I can when I can and those that don’t like it can do one. I loved every second of this, Remi. You did really, really well but you do you, Love and that’s more than enough. I love you, Honey.xxxxx
Hi. Having fibromaylgia stope me from being able to clean everyday. I do all the cleaning. My husband and teens never help me but complain when the place is messy. It causes me to get depressed 😔. Trying to get motivated today. Your doing an amazing job.
I know how that feels. Like I'm the only one who cleans. No one wants a dirty house but they also don't want to clean it. I feel like I'm going in circles
I have fibromyalgia as well. Chronic fatigue is my worst symptom/condition. I have had the condition most of my life. Since I was about 10-15 started slowly developing it. It has become increasingly worse as time have progressed. I am not able to work. I couldn’t walk for many months, nearing a year. I am doing a lot of self care and gentle stuff with myself because I’ve learned that is what is going to “cure” me. The medical world will fail me because it’s all about wellness and they don’t work that way. It’s taking a lot of gentle work and just caring for myself and I’m feeling a bit better the last few months. I found EFT tapping a great tool. I am painting. I am just trying to find things for me. I love to clean but I have to really pace myself and I find techniques that are quick and easy but again gentle in terms of their impact on my family/me/my home chemically. I just want to say I hope you can find peace and happiness in small corners of your existence. It will truly make all the difference. The people in your life who don’t understand and make demands can just live with it. You’re doing the best you can and you’re doing great! ❤
Hi Remi, I do have ADHD and I am always always guilty about my home. I always compare myself to other's houses and wonder why I can't be the same as well. This video helped me to clean a massive mess in the kitchen after a meal prep Sunday!
Remi, you are an amazing young lady, and an awesome mom. I am now a grandma living with regrets because I didn’t know how to have fun with my babies. Order and a tidy house were priority, and you’re right, we can’t do it all, so it was my kids that didn’t get the attention they so rightly deserved. I wish I understood myself the way you understand yourself, and accept yourself. What a blessing you are to so many people.
This is the most relatable RUclips channel ever. Not a single person on here works jobs like this (like me) and has a realistic house and energy level. Most people on here just put on a show or make excuses for everything.
Remi you are the absolute best! You have really inspired me AND my 11yo daughter. We are working slowly through the house to organize every closet and cabinet. We missed your videos so much and have been praying for you and your family. God bless you and your efforts! Please never give up because we need you and that amazingly positive and REALISTIC attitude.
Mum of five . I'd limit my kids toys pop some up away and rotate them..They get re excited seeing different toys again ..your doing your best always remember this 💪
I have watched plenty of cleaning videos. But yours by far are the best. Most people want a clean and tightly home, and yes I have found it's a battle some of the time. But you have given so much of your self to help those who struggle.
Your channel is so relatable Remi. I ve always felt like I’m lazy and unmotivated because I can’t keep a perfect house. I have now learnt to relax with it and as long as the kids are happy and fed that is the most important thing. Your channel is motivating and actually makes me want to get up and clean. anyway thanks is what I’m saying ❤ thanks for being you. Definitely keen for a decluttering series!
Oh Remi...what a joy you are. You do work so hard, I too have issues with my mind making decisions and staying motivated with the mundane day tasks. I am in my 60s and actually enjoyed tidying up after my boys when they were young as yours are. It meant they had enjoyed their time. Thank you for your nice and caring attitude. Have you ever thought about being a social worker or psychologist? You have the sense and ability to be an amazing one. I so enjoy your videos. Stay who you are, don't let other people change you. I love you. I am so proud of you. Thank you for who you are. Love your family.
I’m married single with a house and yard to take care of. I regularly got comments from outsiders about my house and yard. No one ever noticed that when the yard was mowed and clean and the house was untidy, and when the house was clean, the yard needed attention. All of the work fell to me and here you are, working your buns off, and recognising others and their struggles. You are very sweet, you’re one of my favorite people, I wish we were neighbours. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself. Others are too judgmental, there’s a special hell for those people. You are fabulous. P.S. your lawn looks great! Your grass looks do green and so thick
I’m the same way with my kids. They spend hours making pretend worlds and those worlds stayed where they were for days, until they were done. We picked the toys and soon, more worlds were built. Your only young for a minute, in the grand scheme, let the kids have fun
I had 3 kids in 3 years, and during those first few years, I remember thinking cleaning with small children was like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos. You're doing great mama! Focus on what is important- those sweet children =)
You are a gem & I just love watching your videos. You are so real & I can relate. You have taught me a few things & I thank you. Take care & keep smiling. ☮💜
Thank you so much for your videos! Even on my bad when I'm lacking motivation I still listen to your videos bc I feel seen and supported. I am a neurodivergent single parent living at home with my dad for the time being and I keep being told no matter I how tired I am at the end of the day or how much I want to relax, I have to ignore those feelings and clean, tidy up during the day, etc. etc. And it's so FRUSTRATING! It doesn't help my extremely unhygienic brother and his pet have moved back home as well. Honestly, I feel like I'm cleaning up after 2 children constantly instead of 1 and it's exhausting. Normal people just don't understand how much of a struggle cleaning is, especially with kids and other factors involved. So again, thank you for these videos, they're a great help.
But you do have a perfect home…that’s HOME not house!! Well done girl and well said all through. You are an amazing woman, I’ve been there and now I’m 64 and the grandchildren come to have fun, but I can’t impress enough how much good those little slots of me time benefitted me when my boys were small. A few hours in an occasional afternoon, soak in bath, do hair, nails, general pampering stuff and then when they come back everyone benefits. All you need is a willing friend/parent etc., and you love them even more when they get home…put a casserole in the oven before you retire to the bathroom! ❤
Remi, you're a good mother and homemaker. And you've helped me get over a two week depression that left my kitchen a wreck. It became "unwrecked" while I listened to your videos. So, thank you! Also, I discovered that my toddler didn't need a lot of toys, and that too many were sensory overload, especially before naptimes. And all those little pieces created unnecessary clutter for everyone. She got on happily using kitchen utensils, plastic bowls, etc, and her imagination. Also, a folded sheet or a big towel on the floor became her play space. She enjoyed having her own "territory", and I was able to work around her without disruption. I'm just saying, more isn't always better; sometimes it's just more. Keep it simple. Cheers from the redwoods in Northern California.
I just want you to know, you’re amazing. You mentioned getting negative comments like “Why don’t you put the clothes away straight away”. Not everyone will understand you. But for the people that do, you are a shining light. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
I was thrilled when I saw a full length video this morning. I sat down, had a cuppa and enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you had more time to create these, but you make such great decisions when it comes to house, kids and Charlie...I understand. Definitely would love to see you tackle the decluttering series. Take care of you and thank you for all the effort you put in...everywhere!
I love watching your videos. Not only are you inspiring with your cleaning and organizing; but your dialogue is so refreshing. Your insights are invaluable to me. Thank you.
I really like the way you show reality and the thoughtful way you narrate. You help me understand what I am feeling and what my feelings mean. You especially make me feel better about myself because I am not the only person. You really DO make me feel less alone. Thank you. ❤ You do such a Good job! People assume that we didn’t ever clean because their lives don’t look like ours. We are just different people and each lifestyle includes different things. For instance an investment banker in a New York penthouse is not going to have the same level of dirt and tools and animals and etc as a homesteader in a rural area. Blessings on your channel and your family and art. Much love and appreciation for what you’re doing ❤
Remi, you are an awesome mom! You have it more together than you believe! There is so much to learn from you! Keep on living your life. You are such an inspiration!
I love this video so much. I have 4 grown up children, each 18 months to 2 years apart. When they were small it was non stop, I so can relate to those years watching your videos. My house was so messy then. So much laundry, floors always needed doing, toys everywhere. Now the laundry basket is only full at the end of the week, the cleaning is done so easily as I have decluttered thoroughly but I still miss those crazy years when kids were small, school runs, making lunchboxes 5 minutes before setting for school, constant laundry, homework, bedtime stories. Enjoy this time when you can. I did not clean nearly as much as you do and we did ok, you will look at this time when your kiddies were small with a tear in your eye one day.
I needed to hear this today. We’re in the thick of it with little ones and our house feels so overwhelming and chaotic, but the kids are loved and happy and healthy so we’re doing alright. 😌
Aww sweetie, I would give you a hug if I could! You are trying your best, it's almost impossible to get it done. I know this because I did what you do. We have 3 children (grown now) we ALL cleaned on Sunday. On Monday through Friday, I kept 3 infants in my home for daycare. When I put all 3 down for nap, I cleaned, prepared bottles/food. Occasionally I sat down to breathe. It worked for us. When my children got home from school, we all had tidy-up time after supper/bath. There were days I was exhausted for sure!!! Give yourself a break, and know, you're doing well ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love your ramblings...you say what i feel and i TOTALLY get it!! What really resonated with me is when you said something about sitting in the middle of a mess, screaming inside to get something done, and you just physically can't do it. That's how i feel all the time...I feel like I'm just lazy 😢 so thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel less alone 💜💜💜
Oh bless you, I can tell just from what you’ve written that it isn’t the case, it rarely is for anybody. Task paralysis is SUCH hard thing to deal with, and even harder to explain to others! ❤️
12:19 bam! That’s it.. it’s a video for people who get it! I blows my mind how people go around telling others how they should live. They must be miserable. You are doing GREAT!!!
You are not kidding about menopause!!!!! I’m 55 and post menopause now. I really miss my energy and motivation! That’s why I watch videos like yours, they really help me to get motivated. So, thank you! ❤
You need to start a podcast! About life, cleaning, motivational podcasts to clean, you would be amazing!! And it would bring an income! Your videos really motivate me because I understand and relate to a lot of the things you say, keep it up your amazing!!🥰
I love you so much remi! I can’t believe how hard you worked for this video! It wasn’t just the cleaning you did , it was the effort you put in to filming it all too! Thank you! I’m so glad there is someone who shows a real home. You are an amazing mum, partner, you sound like an amazing friend too! I love your positive energy ❤
I love your insights. And it’s satisfying to see how well you clean you pick up everything clean under everything. But the sad and funny reality is I’m just sitting and watching and not cleaning alongside.
I usually don't like hearing people talk all through your cleaning videos but I love listening to you. You're so positive, anyone can complain about their life but you seem to have a lot of gratitude with your life. Also the pizzas are a good idea
Hi Remi I never comment on here but I have been watching your videos and just want to say I love your down to earth, realistic attitude and I totally agree with everything you say, your easy to listen to and love your voice overs, you always make me laugh, housework is a endless process of relentless tasks, take care and stay positive xxx 🥰
Remi, thank you yet again. I like to clean and tidy along to your videos. As one ADHD mum to another, you are amazing to achieve the things you do. Sometimes I feel judged when the house is a mess. But I work over 40 hours a week, I have a house to run, I have children and pets and school runs and shopping and… life.. I have next to no help and sometimes it all feels overwhelming. You’ve helped me to remember that I’m doing the best I can.
Absolutely love the chatter. I play these in the background when I clean and the talking vs music keeps me going. It’s like my friend being with me while I’m busy.
Remi, you are fantastic! I am 69 yrs old. You are 30, I have done 4 kids, worked, cleaned, yard work and all the more. I wish I had had this to listen to when I was your age!!!! Husband have passed on, kids are gone and I am by myself. Very lonely time for me now. I wish I could have had your insight when I was your age. I am so glad to have found you.
Loved the video ! I cleared up my kitchen , hosed my garden and played with my dogs finally made myself a cuppa …. All the while watching this vlog . So thank you for the company ❤
When my boys were young I once got the entire house clean, and maintained it for 2 weeks...and everyone was miserable! I was tired and they were tired of hearing me go on about it. After that failed experiment, I went back to daily imperatives: wash the dishes, do a load of laundry, what's for dinner? and the rest can happen whenever. We were so much happier, and now that they are grown, I am so thankful for our family time and the memories. You are enough just as you are.
I’ve literally had the exact same experience with managing to keep on top of things for a few weeks, and afterwards, there was no question which way I’d prefer to go about my days (and parent) Thanks for this lovely comment 😊
“Their not going to remember what the house looked like from day to day but their going to remember what it felt like. The energy of the home.” 26:12 This quote is gold! Thank you! So much of my mom guilt comes from not being able to keep an impeccably clean house! Like you, I rather spend my energy and free time making happy memories with my child. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts!
I'm in tears. I love everything you have to say you help me feel like I'm not worthless that my way and pace is good enough. I have lots of disabilities mental and physical. Good for you for the challenge but more for realizing that your way is good for you and your life💕 You help me so much more than you could ever know! Love from the United States.
Ima much older lady and😢my kids are grow up. Life gets in the way and keeping a tidy home isn't easy. My difficulty relates to a disability and extreme tiredness. Keep trying Remy, you do amazing and I greatly admire your endless endeavour for a clean home.
This is awesome. Made me laugh when you said "take a seat, get a drink" like I'm not cleaning along with you! It's like having a friend to be fed up with! Feels like I've found my soul's sister having you cleaning and chatting along with me while I am trying to get my shit together too! 😂😅
Have you tried any of the 5x5 secret slob videos? I swear by her 25 minutes 5x5 min timer video with music. Great to get things not perfect but looking better and live-able!
I'm ten minutes in, and I feel like I have a new best friend thousands of miles away. I'm so glad you let yourself ramble, because hearing you articulate your compassion and empathy so beautifully has truly resonated with me today.
This video is an excellent example of why the house gets messy, for those with comments... It took the first day to clean and semi maintain 2 rooms. In that time the rest of the house gets messy. It's just the way it is. And then when you focus on the other rooms the first ones gets messy again. And we start all over again. Urg. Remi, your priorities are in the right place - your well being and time with your family.
I found your channel recently and have had the refreshing pleasure of watching some of them, I will continue to watch more. I love your presentation and the fact you have kept the perspective of reality. You are a really caring, kind and understanding person and look at life from all sides. Well done! I love your honest reality check. ❤
Your videos inspire me. Don't worry about people who are negative. Don't even waste your time explaining yourself to them. If they are that upst because you didn't put clean clothes straight away, then these videos aren't for them. Ignore them & let them move on to another channel. Some people are just miserable and they judge vs. being kind. Thank You !
Honestly, you are amazing. Watching your videos makes me so tired!!! You have 3 small kids, you work outside the home, you are sleep deprived and you still manage to clean and clean!!! Don't let anyone discourage you. I think you do an amazing job!!! And your priorities are straight. Spending time with family, precious moments you can't get back, that is so very important.
I'm so glad to have finally found a cleaning channel with someone who has a normal sized house, a normal job and realistic house messes! Everything about your channel is so relatable and you're going to just keep growing!
💯 agree!!!
Yep me too.
I gone off loads who have off the ones I did watch, as they now no longer relatable. Big houses and have money they can burn.
I definitely agree , she’s so relatable, and I’m so here for it being a stay at home mum of two toddlers ❤. X
you aren’t kidding!!
Yes💯 I love it here❤
Wow; I don’t even know where to begin to describe how amazing you are. You are the Mother Teresa of struggling house cleaners, depressed souls, those who beat ourselves up, judge our failings and all who are barely hanging on by the skin of our teeth! Thank you for your kindness, gentle words of support, acceptance, and love. I wish you were my next-door-neighbor. You seem like the best of best friends. I recently found your channel and have been so inspired. Please keep sharing your gift and uplifting the world. You are an angel!!!♥️♥️♥️
I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. Cleaning is massively difficult for me, but I'm listening to your videos while cleaning, because it's encouraging. Thank you for posting!
I really have to thank you for mentioning menopause and how bloody difficult life can be during and after menopsuse. I've found myself unable to work, unable to function properly. It really helps to hear a young woman who understands....thank you so much...xxxx
Thank you dear for being so personal and honest and for all thoughts you shared. I live with Aspergers and ADHD and since I live alone I rarly care to tidy my home... Along with this video I decluttered for an hour which for me is the longest in a year ... You gave motivation!!
I honestly can’t tell you how happy I am to read this! Amazing! Well done 😁
I am one of those clean people who haven't been blessed with a husband or kids yet. I want to thank you for explaining how your mind works, how the mess is made, and taking time for self care. I was mostly judgemental of people who couldn't keep a clean house, but you have changed my perspective. I like how you said you wouldn't look back on your life and think I wish I would've cleaned more. I just found your channel and watched all of your videos. I can't get enough of your voice. Thank you for helping me understand, and it makes me want to help the moms in my life. Cleaning videos relax me and you've helped me so much.
You’re a lovely person, thank you for being understanding and wanting to see things through the eyes of others. I’m sure with these qualities you will make a great partner/parent one day (should you choose to go down that path) ❤️
Remi - Please try and ignore those "negative Nellies" out there. You are a great mom and are doing a wonderful job each and every day. You have a kind spirit and patient attitude and are an inspiration to us all. Be sure to be good to you. Blessings and hugs and smiles from Michigan, U.S A. - Judith 🎵 🎭
Yes preach! 👏🏻 👏🏻 I remember exactly where I was standing when I realized I would never be happy with my housekeeping when my expectations were so high. That’s perfectionism telling me I’m not finished until the whole house is done. I was standing in front of the washing machine when I realized the only way to be “finished” with the laundry is to be naked! How ridiculous is that?! Perfectionism is the worst :(
Been there, done that.
That’s when you know you’ve gone round the bend.
Remi I don't know exactly why, but the last few minutes of this video brought me to tears. Maybe it's because I am one of those married single parents. I am home all day with my four children and I do ALL of the work around the house. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, trying to be the best mom I can be, homeschooling, yard work...everything! By 7 PM I just want to be left alone and not bothered with anything or anyone. I'm irritable and my husband and kids get the worst side of me. It's tiring trying to do everything by yourself!
I'm in tears as I near the end of this video. So much truth, transparency, and heart + cleaning motivation all wrapped into one. Thank you so much for this blessing and what feels like a therapy session lol Praying you and your precious family are blessed beyond measure. ❤
I love that you do a continuous voiceover and not just play music! Thank you for taking the time to do that and for sharing your thoughts.
Looking forward to your declutter video. I think having decluttered some will make maintenance so much easier for you and your family (it did for me).
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
I appreciate you, Remi. When I was a young mother,I made the mistake of choosing to try and keep a clean home over spending time with my youngest son. Now my youngest is almost 27 years old, on his own, living in New York, having his own life, and it really hit me hard when you said that you cherished quality time with your boys over cleaning. I wished I had let those dirty dishes in the sink wait when he was calling out to me to play with him. If given a chance to do it all over again, I would choose sword fights with my youngest over folding clean laundry. Time is fleeting, Remi. Always choose time with your boys over anything else in the world. ❤❤❤❤
Minha enteada, a melhor mãe que eu conheço, me ensinou isso de priorizar as crianças e não a arrumação.
This is making me cry!! Sending you love and compassion as a fellow mom with the same regret. ❤ #youcantfencetime
You owe no explanation about your family or your house but I enjoyed listening to you. You are so articulate and well spoken, and I wish you well. You're doing what you can and that counts.
Remi, if no one haven't told it to you today, you're awesome! You're a star! You're a great motivation to us all. And this is the comment that doesn't need to be answered 😀 Just know that we love you!
If you'd be the perfectly ripe, sweetest and juiciest peach on the planet, there would always be people that simply don't like peaches. I only hope you read more positive comments on your channel than negative ones, after all the hard work you do and the inspiring, honest and impressive narration you add here. ❤
I’m only 9:37 minutes into your video and that was while driving to an appointment. I had a rough night with my grand dog and my house is torn apart for painting. My anxiety is through the roof BUT you have already calmed me down. I will listen on my way home BUT I will watch and re-watch this, I’m sure, many times. It’s like affirmation for me: you help me understand what I need to be grateful for and to just breathe
Ā friend came over the other day and I was excusing the mess, when my friend said, 'I think it's lovely, it looks lived in.' I needed to hear that so much.
There is a good friend! I do the same always feel I need to justify
As a professional cleaner I agree with you. Sometimes it’s very hard to get things clean or even know where to begin.
Hey dear my whole house is dirty and kitchen specially plz suggest me suffering from15 years
@@Its_me.89 , I normally do a short walk about the place to see what is most important and then I look for cleaning products and materials to clean. I start and end with the toilet so the product in the toilet can do it work. Dry cleaning before wet cleaning. Dirty things after cleaner, vacuum cleaning before mopping the floor. Windows last if you have time and energy.
I’ve tried to motivate myself in many ways but to no avail. I think getting a few good products that you love (thinking Method but only when on offer) & some washing up gloves helps but being too regimented doesn’t work for me. Doing just 10 mins against the timer in each room made it, dare I say it, fun rather than a burden. I can’t wait to do that each day(ish) & start to see & feel a slow, gradual, positive result in each room/area. Remi has definitely changed things for me, bless her, with the revelation of executive dysfunction (yes!) & her realistic and extremely wise attitude 💜🥰❤️
I would love a decluttering series, cause I dont know where to start.
My kids are grown ups, a son and a daughter and one grand child who is 19.
My appartment is a mess. I just cant get rid of anything, mostly things from my kids, all those memories. I am a messy person but also seeking perfection.
Enjoy your kids, time goes so QuickTime, soon they are grown ups. I admit that I dont really know what to do the rest of my life. My family is my everything. I lost my soulmate five years ago so… and my son is very sick since he was a child, its sad and its lonely. Excuse my English, grannar and misspelling

She saved me from endless pile shifting
I cried so much during this cleaning 🥲.
I feel understood. The judgmental voices that tell me “I’m not doing enough” and other horrible words go away for a little when I hear your voice😢. I don’t feel crazy and I see a path to wellness, happiness, healthy productivity and most importantly peace with self. May God continue to give you all the strength you need and bless your beautiful family ❤
Wow, I wanted to write that, but it was bungled up! Ty for posting your comment and speaking for me.
Sweetie, I love your videos! You can represent the neurodivergent among us, any time! I can hardly function for my autistic freeze. And it is impossible sometimes to accomplish anything! I struggle against it everyday.
I think that you are a super mum, as I live alone with my dog, am 66 years young, and just can not get motivated to do any cleaning! You have all your life on your plate, yet you get so much done. I really think that you are incredible, and I take my hat off to you! xxx
I couldn’t have said it better!
Word for Word!!
From a young woman to now an old woman!
I applaud you , honesty!
I had no children and did have a dishwasher & a clothes dryer ! It still was a drudgery!!
Your channel doesn’t only motivate, but remind me it’s ok I’m unable to physically do what I did anymore!
My epitaph will not have memories of how clean my floors were! Lol
Much luv , ♥️✝️🇺🇸
Ps- you should consider writing!
Your videos have helped me so much for the past few days. I haven't cleaned my room in about a year due to mental health issues. Your videos have given me so much motivation lately, my room is almost completely cleaned and I would just like to thank you!
For the first time, RUclips has actually provided me with a real RUclipsr who is really real. I'm watching your video and listening at the same time. I truly respect you for showing what real life is like instead of all the plinky plonky music. You've shown that this is an every day thing. You can't just declutter and call it a day. You covered every ground in this video. I wish I could shake you by the hand, give you a big hug and say Thank You. Honestly, you've done more in this video than any therapist could provide.
I also thank you RUclips algorithm for bringing your video and channel to my feed. All the best to you. I need to share this video now. I know many who need this. Thanks again. I appreciate you 👍🏼👍🏼🤲🏾🙏🏽🌞
Young lady, you are wise beyond your age. Bless you!
I don't even need to WATCH I LOVE the therapy I get from you... With your words, always so encouraging.
This makes my heart happy, thank you!! ❤️
I 100% agree with you. It's just my husband and I, unless you count my husband. I enjoy your wisdom, and Remi, you're a natural at narrating.
I love your ramblings while watching you clean your home! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM! My sons are grown men with families of their own now. We have precious memories and of all of them no one ever says, "Remember the messy sofa pillows? Or remember the toys strewn everywhere?" No not one! They remember the fun, the love and the safe space to grow and learn! You are awesome!❤ God bless you and your precious family! I miss the chaos and the loud house, but the crumbs on the floor, not so much! Lol😂
Thank God, a real woman with a real life.........
It’s called living. There seems to be no shortage of critics. You’re doing fantastic!! Believe it!🦋
I grew up in a home where my mother had to have everything tidy, clean and in order 24/7. As a now 32 year old, I can tell you it did more damage than good having an obsessively clean mom. Mess is alright.
Remi, don’t ever change. You’re the sweetest, kindest soul out there. Plus, you have a beautiful lawn!
Remi, you are the best cleaning inspo channel for fellow neurodivergents. I have ADHD and going on my medication was the first time in my life I did not feel this constant overwhelm and anxiety of every part of life - especially housework/organisation and it is exhausting. Add in the CFS and fibromyalgia it’s impossible to keep on top and not have a flare up/miss out on time with family. I am pregnant again and completely underestimated how hard it would be without my medication during pregnancy.. your videos are a comfort it’s nice to know there are more of me out there who have similar struggles everyday! Thank you soo much for sharing your truth with us all x
It is so good to hear you are having children with Fibro! My Sister in law has it, and she refuses to become pregnant because she is afraid of the pain. Could you tell me, does it get much worse while you are pregnant?
I really hope this channel gives you money cause I loveeee your videos and your voice. Your accent and your voice are so relaxing!
Thanks for showing a real cleaning video. I have a dog and a 5 year old and I feel like the cleaning never ends. And thank you for the voice over. I appreciate you.
Sadly, any form of social media attracts people who thrive on tearing other people down. I really hope you don't let it get you down. You are wonderfully and beautifully AUTHENTIC❤ Which is a very rare quality to see. Keep doing you, and please don't dim your light for anyone🙏
Thank you Remi! I felt seen. My house is a mess, but I'm happy.
Thank you for being my cleaning buddy this week. Both my husband and myself suffer with chronic pain & mental health problems and it's been a particularly bad few months for us. I've had your videos, and a few other creators, playing whilst I've finally taken care of some much neglected parts of the house. From thousands of km's away here in South Australia you have brought some comfort and motivation 😊
I’ll never have a perfect home because that’s just not how I am. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, a crumbling spine and need two new knees but I try my best. I do what I can when I can and those that don’t like it can do one. I loved every second of this, Remi. You did really, really well but you do you, Love and that’s more than enough. I love you, Honey.xxxxx
Hi. Having fibromaylgia stope me from being able to clean everyday. I do all the cleaning. My husband and teens never help me but complain when the place is messy. It causes me to get depressed 😔. Trying to get motivated today. Your doing an amazing job.
I know how that feels. Like I'm the only one who cleans. No one wants a dirty house but they also don't want to clean it. I feel like I'm going in circles
I have fibromyalgia as well. Chronic fatigue is my worst symptom/condition. I have had the condition most of my life. Since I was about 10-15 started slowly developing it. It has become increasingly worse as time have progressed. I am not able to work. I couldn’t walk for many months, nearing a year. I am doing a lot of self care and gentle stuff with myself because I’ve learned that is what is going to “cure” me. The medical world will fail me because it’s all about wellness and they don’t work that way. It’s taking a lot of gentle work and just caring for myself and I’m feeling a bit better the last few months. I found EFT tapping a great tool. I am painting. I am just trying to find things for me. I love to clean but I have to really pace myself and I find techniques that are quick and easy but again gentle in terms of their impact on my family/me/my home chemically. I just want to say I hope you can find peace and happiness in small corners of your existence. It will truly make all the difference. The people in your life who don’t understand and make demands can just live with it. You’re doing the best you can and you’re doing great! ❤
Hi Remi, I do have ADHD and I am always always guilty about my home. I always compare myself to other's houses and wonder why I can't be the same as well. This video helped me to clean a massive mess in the kitchen after a meal prep Sunday!
I’m so so pleased to hear that! I bet you feel so accomplished!? 😁
Remi, you are an amazing young lady, and an awesome mom. I am now a grandma living with regrets because I didn’t know how to have fun with my babies. Order and a tidy house were priority, and you’re right, we can’t do it all, so it was my kids that didn’t get the attention they so rightly deserved. I wish I understood myself the way you understand yourself, and accept yourself. What a blessing you are to so many people.
This is the most relatable RUclips channel ever. Not a single person on here works jobs like this (like me) and has a realistic house and energy level. Most people on here just put on a show or make excuses for everything.
Remi you are the absolute best! You have really inspired me AND my 11yo daughter. We are working slowly through the house to organize every closet and cabinet. We missed your videos so much and have been praying for you and your family. God bless you and your efforts! Please never give up because we need you and that amazingly positive and REALISTIC attitude.
Mum of five . I'd limit my kids toys pop some up away and rotate them..They get re excited seeing different toys again ..your doing your best always remember this 💪
I have watched plenty of cleaning videos. But yours by far are the best. Most people want a clean and tightly home, and yes I have found it's a battle some of the time. But you have given so much of your self to help those who struggle.
"Trying to keep your house picked up is like trying to pick up water with a sieve." That struck home with me.
Your channel is so relatable Remi. I ve always felt like I’m lazy and unmotivated because I can’t keep a perfect house. I have now learnt to relax with it and as long as the kids are happy and fed that is the most important thing. Your channel is motivating and actually makes me want to get up and clean. anyway thanks is what I’m saying ❤ thanks for being you. Definitely keen for a decluttering series!
Oh Remi...what a joy you are. You do work so hard, I too have issues with my mind making decisions and staying motivated with the mundane day tasks. I am in my 60s and actually enjoyed tidying up after my boys when they were young as yours are. It meant they had enjoyed their time. Thank you for your nice and caring attitude. Have you ever thought about being a social worker or psychologist? You have the sense and ability to be an amazing one. I so enjoy your videos. Stay who you are, don't let other people change you. I love you. I am so proud of you. Thank you for who you are. Love your family.
You didn't "give up"!! 7 days cleaning & tidying? That's a marathon, well done! ❤
There’s more to life than a perfectly clean home! I can’t keep up and I am retired! I don’t have an excuse! I love how real you are!
I’m married single with a house and yard to take care of. I regularly got comments from outsiders about my house and yard. No one ever noticed that when the yard was mowed and clean and the house was untidy, and when the house was clean, the yard needed attention. All of the work fell to me and here you are, working your buns off, and recognising others and their struggles. You are very sweet, you’re one of my favorite people, I wish we were neighbours. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself. Others are too judgmental, there’s a special hell for those people. You are fabulous. P.S. your lawn looks great! Your grass looks do green and so thick
I’m the same way with my kids. They spend hours making pretend worlds and those worlds stayed where they were for days, until they were done. We picked the toys and soon, more worlds were built. Your only young for a minute, in the grand scheme, let the kids have fun
I love these videos. Im using them for motivation.
Thank you so much, pleased to hear it! 😊
I had 3 kids in 3 years, and during those first few years, I remember thinking cleaning with small children was like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos. You're doing great mama! Focus on what is important- those sweet children =)
I love how you have so much compassion. I feel less alone. I love the tangents and rambles of encouragement! Thank you!
This is one of the beat cleaning videos on RUclips. I like your style! Such a down to earth lady xx
YES to the decluttering series! 🤩
You are a gem & I just love watching your videos. You are so real & I can relate. You have taught me a few things & I thank you. Take care & keep smiling. ☮💜
Thank you so much for your videos! Even on my bad when I'm lacking motivation I still listen to your videos bc I feel seen and supported. I am a neurodivergent single parent living at home with my dad for the time being and I keep being told no matter I how tired I am at the end of the day or how much I want to relax, I have to ignore those feelings and clean, tidy up during the day, etc. etc. And it's so FRUSTRATING! It doesn't help my extremely unhygienic brother and his pet have moved back home as well. Honestly, I feel like I'm cleaning up after 2 children constantly instead of 1 and it's exhausting. Normal people just don't understand how much of a struggle cleaning is, especially with kids and other factors involved. So again, thank you for these videos, they're a great help.
But you do have a perfect home…that’s HOME not house!! Well done girl and well said all through. You are an amazing woman, I’ve been there and now I’m 64 and the grandchildren come to have fun, but I can’t impress enough how much good those little slots of me time benefitted me when my boys were small. A few hours in an occasional afternoon, soak in bath, do hair, nails, general pampering stuff and then when they come back everyone benefits. All you need is a willing friend/parent etc., and you love them even more when they get home…put a casserole in the oven before you retire to the bathroom! ❤
Remi, you're a good mother and homemaker. And you've helped me get over a two week depression that left my kitchen a wreck. It became "unwrecked" while I listened to your videos. So, thank you!
Also, I discovered that my toddler didn't need a lot of toys, and that too many were sensory overload, especially before naptimes. And all those little pieces created unnecessary clutter for everyone. She got on happily using kitchen utensils, plastic bowls, etc, and her imagination.
Also, a folded sheet or a big towel on the floor became her play space. She enjoyed having her own "territory", and I was able to work around her without disruption. I'm just saying, more isn't always better; sometimes it's just more. Keep it simple.
Cheers from the redwoods in Northern California.
I just want you to know, you’re amazing. You mentioned getting negative comments like “Why don’t you put the clothes away straight away”. Not everyone will understand you. But for the people that do, you are a shining light. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
I was thrilled when I saw a full length video this morning. I sat down, had a cuppa and enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you had more time to create these, but you make such great decisions when it comes to house, kids and Charlie...I understand. Definitely would love to see you tackle the decluttering series. Take care of you and thank you for all the effort you put in...everywhere!
I love watching your videos. Not only are you inspiring with your cleaning and organizing; but your dialogue is so refreshing. Your insights are invaluable to me. Thank you.
I really like the way you show reality and the thoughtful way you narrate. You help me understand what I am feeling and what my feelings mean. You especially make me feel better about myself because I am not the only person. You really DO make me feel less alone. Thank you. ❤ You do such a Good job! People assume that we didn’t ever clean because their lives don’t look like ours. We are just different people and each lifestyle includes different things. For instance an investment banker in a New York penthouse is not going to have the same level of dirt and tools and animals and etc as a homesteader in a rural area. Blessings on your channel and your family and art. Much love and appreciation for what you’re doing ❤
I don't know how you do it!!
You hold down a job, run the house, and have 2 small boys. You're doing a great job.
You have such a lovely soft voice xx
That’s so nice to hear, thank you! ☺️
Remi, you are an awesome mom! You have it more together than you believe! There is so much to learn from you! Keep on living your life. You are such an inspiration!
I love this video so much. I have 4 grown up children, each 18 months to 2 years apart. When they were small it was non stop, I so can relate to those years watching your videos. My house was so messy then. So much laundry, floors always needed doing, toys everywhere. Now the laundry basket is only full at the end of the week, the cleaning is done so easily as I have decluttered thoroughly but I still miss those crazy years when kids were small, school runs, making lunchboxes 5 minutes before setting for school, constant laundry, homework, bedtime stories. Enjoy this time when you can. I did not clean nearly as much as you do and we did ok, you will look at this time when your kiddies were small with a tear in your eye one day.
I needed to hear this today. We’re in the thick of it with little ones and our house feels so overwhelming and chaotic, but the kids are loved and happy and healthy so we’re doing alright. 😌
"they're not going to remember what it looked like day to day, but they're going to remember what it felt like." beautifully said
Aww sweetie, I would give you a hug if I could! You are trying your best, it's almost impossible to get it done. I know this because I did what you do. We have 3 children (grown now) we ALL cleaned on Sunday. On Monday through Friday, I kept 3 infants in my home for daycare. When I put all 3 down for nap, I cleaned, prepared bottles/food. Occasionally I sat down to breathe. It worked for us. When my children got home from school, we all had tidy-up time after supper/bath. There were days I was exhausted for sure!!! Give yourself a break, and know, you're doing well ❤️❤️❤️
Your such an inspiration to me, l get bogged down with it all and know one of your videos gives me the boost I need to get stuck in!
You are a breath of fresh air, thank you for being real.
I absolutely love your ramblings...you say what i feel and i TOTALLY get it!! What really resonated with me is when you said something about sitting in the middle of a mess, screaming inside to get something done, and you just physically can't do it. That's how i feel all the time...I feel like I'm just lazy 😢 so thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel less alone 💜💜💜
Oh bless you, I can tell just from what you’ve written that it isn’t the case, it rarely is for anybody. Task paralysis is SUCH hard thing to deal with, and even harder to explain to others! ❤️
Just loved the shout out to the married single parents... 🙌
12:19 bam! That’s it.. it’s a video for people who get it! I blows my mind how people go around telling others how they should live. They must be miserable. You are doing GREAT!!!
You are not kidding about menopause!!!!! I’m 55 and post menopause now. I really miss my energy and motivation! That’s why I watch videos like yours, they really help me to get motivated. So, thank you! ❤
You need to start a podcast! About life, cleaning, motivational podcasts to clean, you would be amazing!! And it would bring an income! Your videos really motivate me because I understand and relate to a lot of the things you say, keep it up your amazing!!🥰
Truly would love this! You know who I’d love to hear her with, KC Davis from domestic blisters
I love you so much remi! I can’t believe how hard you worked for this video! It wasn’t just the cleaning you did , it was the effort you put in to filming it all too! Thank you! I’m so glad there is someone who shows a real home.
You are an amazing mum, partner, you sound like an amazing friend too! I love your positive energy ❤
I love your insights. And it’s satisfying to see how well you clean you pick up everything clean under everything. But the sad and funny reality is I’m just sitting and watching and not cleaning alongside.
I usually don't like hearing people talk all through your cleaning videos but I love listening to you.
You're so positive, anyone can complain about their life but you seem to have a lot of gratitude with your life. Also the pizzas are a good idea
I had four keys and remember how crazy hard keeping house can be. It won't always be this way Dear! Love is more important than perfectly clean!
Hi Remi I never comment on here but I have been watching your videos and just want to say I love your down to earth, realistic attitude and I totally agree with everything you say, your easy to listen to and love your voice overs, you always make me laugh, housework is a endless process of relentless tasks, take care and stay positive xxx 🥰
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and be so kind and encouraging ☺️ x
Remi, thank you yet again. I like to clean and tidy along to your videos. As one ADHD mum to another, you are amazing to achieve the things you do. Sometimes I feel judged when the house is a mess. But I work over 40 hours a week, I have a house to run, I have children and pets and school runs and shopping and… life.. I have next to no help and sometimes it all feels overwhelming. You’ve helped me to remember that I’m doing the best I can.
Absolutely love the chatter. I play these in the background when I clean and the talking vs music keeps me going. It’s like my friend being with me while I’m busy.
Remi, you are fantastic! I am 69 yrs old. You are 30, I have done 4 kids, worked, cleaned, yard work and all the more. I wish I had had this to listen to when I was your age!!!! Husband have passed on, kids are gone and I am by myself. Very lonely time for me now. I wish I could have had your insight when I was your age. I am so glad to have found you.
Ime the same as you ime 65 4 children divorced life's shit lol xx
Loved the video ! I cleared up my kitchen , hosed my garden and played with my dogs finally made myself a cuppa …. All the while watching this vlog . So thank you for the company ❤
When my boys were young I once got the entire house clean, and maintained it for 2 weeks...and everyone was miserable! I was tired and they were tired of hearing me go on about it. After that failed experiment, I went back to daily imperatives: wash the dishes, do a load of laundry, what's for dinner? and the rest can happen whenever. We were so much happier, and now that they are grown, I am so thankful for our family time and the memories. You are enough just as you are.
I’ve literally had the exact same experience with managing to keep on top of things for a few weeks, and afterwards, there was no question which way I’d prefer to go about my days (and parent) Thanks for this lovely comment 😊
🥰🤩🥳
That was probably the best cleaning video I've ever watched (and I've watched all of them lol) you are lovely, keep doing you!
“Their not going to remember what the house looked like from day to day but their going to remember what it felt like. The energy of the home.” 26:12 This quote is gold! Thank you! So much of my mom guilt comes from not being able to keep an impeccably clean house! Like you, I rather spend my energy and free time making happy memories with my child.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts!
Thank you for keeping things real! Most of us do not live in "perfect" homes and are like you -- doing our best. :-)
I'm in tears. I love everything you have to say you help me feel like I'm not worthless that my way and pace is good enough. I have lots of disabilities mental and physical. Good for you for the challenge but more for realizing that your way is good for you and your life💕 You help me so much more than you could ever know! Love from the United States.
Ima much older lady and😢my kids are grow up. Life gets in the way and keeping a tidy home isn't easy. My difficulty relates to a disability and extreme tiredness. Keep trying Remy, you do amazing and I greatly admire your endless endeavour for a clean home.
This is awesome. Made me laugh when you said "take a seat, get a drink" like I'm not cleaning along with you! It's like having a friend to be fed up with! Feels like I've found my soul's sister having you cleaning and chatting along with me while I am trying to get my shit together too! 😂😅
Have you tried any of the 5x5 secret slob videos? I swear by her 25 minutes 5x5 min timer video with music. Great to get things not perfect but looking better and live-able!
I'm ten minutes in, and I feel like I have a new best friend thousands of miles away. I'm so glad you let yourself ramble, because hearing you articulate your compassion and empathy so beautifully has truly resonated with me today.
This video is an excellent example of why the house gets messy, for those with comments... It took the first day to clean and semi maintain 2 rooms. In that time the rest of the house gets messy. It's just the way it is. And then when you focus on the other rooms the first ones gets messy again. And we start all over again. Urg. Remi, your priorities are in the right place - your well being and time with your family.
I found your channel recently and have had the refreshing pleasure of watching some of them, I will continue to watch more. I love your presentation and the fact you have kept the perspective of reality. You are a really caring, kind and understanding person and look at life from all sides. Well done! I love your honest reality check. ❤
You are my hero! Don’t worry about the negative comments! We need you. ♥️♥️♥️
You are such a lovely person Remi.
Your videos inspire me. Don't worry about people who are negative. Don't even waste your time explaining yourself to them. If they are that upst because you didn't put clean clothes straight away, then these videos aren't for them. Ignore them & let them move on to another channel. Some people are just miserable and they judge vs. being kind. Thank You !
Honestly, you are amazing. Watching your videos makes me so tired!!! You have 3 small kids, you work outside the home, you are sleep deprived and you still manage to clean and clean!!! Don't let anyone discourage you. I think you do an amazing job!!! And your priorities are straight. Spending time with family, precious moments you can't get back, that is so very important.
