Yup Yup...say it with a smile, Sophia. You are the first person I subscribed to years and years ago. I was in need of inspiration...badly. Being that RUclips is drowning with "cleaning/organize" channels, I subbed to quite a few. Funny that after almost a month of watching religiously, I noticed something that set you apart from the others. You were REAL!!! lol Seriously...a few of the other women would get out of bed with some cute lounge wear set that costs 300 bucks and had not a wrinkle in it. Make-up was on fleek and they even had perfectly lined lips. I don't know about you, but I don't clean like that. So, very quickly, I unsubscribed to all of them except 2 and after a week, it was YOU and FlyLady. So so many years ago! I remember your get-ready-with-me videos as well as that first Christmas tour of your house. I remember you were going to declutter your makeup and pulled out a whole cart with draws and draws of lipsticks and nail polish...never mind those eye shadow palettes!!!! And it's a joy to watch you go through your life with designs of making your home a place that you can surround yourself with the things you love and make you smile. My favorite videos are these theme and, even though I don't have a garden, your gardening. I love when you make the old fashioned recipes, I made salisbury steak recipe and adore your mother, especially when you visit her in France. I know, sorry, Im long winded but just wanted to let you know you are wonderful and have helped me with many things in my world. Have a great day Sophia and Happy Mother's Day!
PS. Oh wait, another favorite type of videos from you is when you show us your beautiful Christmas trees!!!!
Thank you!! The lipsticks lol! Yes I remember!
Millionaires are not living in the real world. You have a very nice home, given the choice between living in your house or living in a millionaires home I would choose yours.
😂Love the Breaking News clip !! lol
This is why I enjoy watching you. You are very relatable.
I like that you LIVE in your home like we do like normal families
Your “Breaking News” was too funny!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Sophia you are so relatable and lovely and make us all feel like we’re doing ok after all😘*Thank-you❤️*
I am a real person, living in a real house. I have dog hair galore, and I abhor dusting and vacuuming. I keep my kitchen and bath clean, but struggle being motivated to stay on top of the dog hair. I too clean in my favorite old tee shirts that have holes and bleach stains, oh well. I have nothing to prove to anyone, just don’t worry about it, just be you. You is always more than enough!
The trend alert still has me cracking up!🤣😂 The steamer's results were horrifying--in the best possible way! My home could definitely benefit from this!
I love your sense of humor. Thank you for keeping it real. I don't watch the fake hollywood garbage.
That’s why I love your channel. You’re a real down to earth person like me.
You out did yourself this time! How you can take something like cleaning the bathroom and make it into a feel good, funny video is beyond me! The part where you put in the breaking news with the ticker tape going across the bottom of the screen made me laugh for a good five minutes. I think it topped the time you were in your kitchen decluttering your cookbooks and you came across a book that tells you how to declutter. The look on your face was priceless! I am like you when I see those houses that all have the white, gray and black kitchens, with no personality and are clean to begin with. I can't watch them. I use my kitchen and my bathrooms and they show it. You are by far my favorite channel and I could watch you watch paint dry and be entertained!
The Breaking News clip was hilarious. Loved it!
Looking good sophia I love watching my parakeets taking a bath they are adorable you'll love watching the birds bathe
Your herb garden is going to be awesome! And how thoughtful to share with your neighbors 😊
I totally agree about the content on RUclips. These young girls with their big massive houses. What happened to starting off in small houses apartments and working hard and having dreams of bigger things. Everything now is just get it now if you don't have it now you're not good enough. It's a crazy world. I've said it before and I'll say it again you always amaze me. I wish I could do half the things that you do. Your content is real, you are real and it is very refreshing. Another channel I love is Moss family TV. Happy mother's Day Sophia.
Sophia, happy Mother’s Day! You are a gem. Your sweet gentle voice and your music choices are so comforting and relaxing. I like you just as you are.
The world needs more people like you Sophia ❤️
Love this! Yes, let's normalize the filth! I say this as I look at the dust on my light fixtures lol
Your intro is spot on! Average person doing average things in an average home…thank you Sophia!! New subscriber 😁
Oh Sophia you make my heart and soul happy!!!!! Thanks for being you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you so much! Honest and real and down to earth! Humble and Awesome that is you! I love it!
The reference to Jordan on tiktok was great 😂 also that news bulletin was my fave 😂 we love authentic ypu Sophia!❤
I really, really like your videos. Very inspiring and realistic.
Welcome to the steam cleaners addiction group. In no time you’ll be on your knees using the tip attachment watching grout turn a color you’ve never seen before. 😂😂😂 I speak from experience.
I was drinking coffee when The Breaking News clip came on. I needed to change my shirt, but the laugh made my day. This is why you are the only RUclips creator that i have a Patreon account with. You keep it real and I love you for that!!!
You cheer me up 👍😁Thankyou, & yes want to see more of this ' nonsense' please 😄😄 xx
I know people that bought a large new house and they're divorced now. They worked multiple jobs to afford it and hardly saw each other. We have a normal house and maintain it and try to add a little to the garden and flowers each year. Been here for over 30 years and no regrets. We are the norm. I love the idea of growing herbs in the front yard. I plant annual flowers each year but going to plant herbs this year between the perennials. Will be nice to have extra. I'll share too. I enjoy your channel because you are normal. Happy gardening.
You do not have to apologize for anything. You are great the way you are. None of us are perfect.
Even the ones that are critical of you. I have been watching you for years. I have just as much fun watching you now as I did the very first time , when your guys were little.
It’s amazing how just a few changes can make a big difference. The front garden is really shaping up.
You are so right about those fake homes staying tidy all the time, real people do cleaning on a whenever basis. The BREAKING NEWS was a riot. I have to work around caring for my husband & boy does he make messes.When he goes to dr next month we will have the talk about getting a hospital bed & maybe going into invalid hospice because so far I haven't found a place for caregivers that takes insurance. I love just the way you are------real life!!
Well said! Great video! I love this Getting Things Done series!❤
I need to clean my ceiling fans (four of them two on vaulted ceilings) but I'm not in the mood to go get a ladder, cover my furniture, drag out the cleaning supplies, so I'm sitting on my butt watching you clean. LOL! I'm 74 (turning 75 in a matter of days) so getting motivated is getting harder every year. 🤣
I'm looking at my ceiling fan that also needs a clean. 😮
😅😅haha. I got a kick out of the news banner!! Plus nice shot of the little worm in the garden.
dying 😂😂😂😂
Happy Mothers day!!
That's what I like about your videos. Down to earth and real life. Thank you!!! Keep up the good work. God bless!!! ❤
Happy Mother’s Day Sophia, I just want to say maybe people forget that your channel started when your kids were very young. It’s a great challenge to keep a clean home with full time job and young children. But let’s face it when the kids are grown it’s a lot easier to maintain your home which frees up more time for things that we enjoy doing not just a mom and wife. I wish we could all freeze Sophia in time but she’s grown and we’ve grown and though I enjoy listening to her while she cleans I’m so ready to watch her challenge herself to be more than just a cleaning channel. ❤️
Yeah well me too but folks are not interested in my none cleaning content. So there is that
@@mygreatchallenge 😢
@@mygreatchallengeI love the cleaning content!
Happy Mother’s Day, Sophia! And for me, I will watch whatever you post. I watch for you, as a person I enjoy, not for just the content! ❤
Sophia I love any video that you make! But…..you need to do an endorsement for the steam cleaner!!! It worked great.
I get so much satisfaction watching you work. You are right-we do love you because you are real. No pretense. What’s not to love!
Wow, you call yourself average? Really? You shouldn't, you are so amazing and awesome. You can be very proud of yourself. God bless you and keep doing what you're doing! We all love you!
The video creativity just tickles me 😂
Yes of course I struggle and thank God for your channel ❤️All the best for you and your family ❤️
Hi Sophia. It’s been a while. I’ve not been well and had abdominal surgery. Love your channel. Motivated me so much over the last few years... decluttered so much. I have a side hustle selling second hand toys and books.
😂😂😂 the breaking news
I enjoy whatever you are doing 😁 Hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend 🌺🌺🌺
Omg!! The BREAKING NEWS!!! Lololol
Love it!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I can't wait to see all the flowers in bloom🌻🪻
Sophia, you may have an "average" lifestyle, but you are certainly not an average person -- far from it. Let the haters hate and just do you. Thousand and thousands of followers can't be wrong! 👍
That water hose looks like a snake; I would definitely need a different color 😜. Loved the steamer and how it cuts down on elbow-grease! Getting things done is a nice view of everyday life. Thanks. 🎯
Great idea to put the herbs in the front garden!
Sweet Sophia, you are so above average! You are amazing! Love how you are using the front yard! Why spend the money on plants to feed the dear! It is going to be beautiful! Looking good already!
I agree 100%! Sophia has so much more than those others could even hope for! She is a gem!!!
We all have the messy,dirty and unorganized in our homes. Don’t fret !
Love you Sophia !! I love reality. I have a steamer too but never thought to do the inside of my shower....guess where I'm heading?! LOL
Hands up who's never had mold and mildew in their bathroom... anybody? No? Me either. It's not embarrassing, Sophia, it's real life, and that's WHY WE LOVE YOU! That's literally the reason I subscribed! Please stop talking about the negative Nancies and give your fans some thought xx
Looking at your icon, are you going to do the star wars Conqueror Challenges? I am finishing grand canyon so we can start those next. We can t wait!
@mygreatchallenge I've never heard of that! I just googled it, it looks awesome but very expensive! It's in USD as well, which is around 1.6× my NZD
They are a great way to get you moving though.
@mygreatchallenge I bet, sounds like a lot of fun! I wish I could afford it
😂😂😂 Your "ooh"ing and "aah"ing 😂😂 I love it!
Happy Mothers Day ... Great ideas!
I like that you show the reality of life, Sophia. I think it is a great idea to use the front edge of your garden for herbs and invite people to pick some for free once they are established. That is great community spirit in action. Little acts of kindness like that help the world be a better place.
Thank you! I have challenges either cleaning all the time. It’s so refreshing to know you feel the same way. You’ve inspired me more than some of the RUclipsrs I watch. Happy Mother’s Day 💐💐
I can’t wait to see how the front yard turns out!!❤
Hahaha! The breaking news was hilarious!
Thanks for sharing! I have not heard of the pink stuff before. I just ordered some 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂😘❤
Oh gees you make me laugh. Your so real. Love your channel Sophia.
LeChief (not sure of the spelling) is just adorable. We had a Beagle for 14 years and love the breed.❤
Le Chiffre (as in the James Bond Villain) is finally losing some weight. He s walking more and we got him on that mushroom powder that seems to be working.
Wow! That steamer works great.
I seriously need a steamer!
Great video. You are a sweet and honest person.
Happy Mother's Day you're a good mom
There's an awesome book, The World's Best Class Plant, by Audrey Vernick, and it's about the spider plant. At the end of the year, the teacher gives each student a piece of the plant to take home. So cute!
I so enjoyed this! Great video
One thing I was taught and always do is I always clean my bathroom right before I get into the shower. Those clothes go into the hamper. Makes sense as we are dealing with human waste and bodily fluids.. Alos I have a designated mop just for the bathroom and never mop the kitchen with the poo mop as we call it. Truthfully I just mop on my hands and knees with antibacterial. I don't dress up to clean the rest room I dress down.
Happy Mother's day Sophia to you and you Mother. 🌹🌷
I really wanna sew an apron now❤
You are amazing! You started this channel because you couldn't relate to those "white cleaning" videos, and I love that you are ALWAYS real and true to yourself. I cannot relate to them either. 😉
LOVE THE "Breaking News" addition. 😂
🤣breaking news! Love it!
I love your videos. I think you have an interesting life. I got laid off from my job over a year ago and I thought I'm going to get my house completely clean and organized. I'm still waiting for that to happen. I really like Lime-A-Way bathroom cleaner. I hate cleaning the shower but when I finally get in the mood, Lime-A-Way cuts the lime and soap build up really well.
I'm so thankful you are average and relatable!! ❤ ...but on the other hand, you are SO WAY ABOVE average!! Whoa!! You are amazing!! If I could do 1/4 of what you do, I'd be so proud of me!!!
I really enjoyed the combination of the cleaning and gardening. I’m no green fingers, but I love (when weather permits here in Scotland!) to potter about in the garden. I’m 68 and have learnt to relax more when it comes to cleaning!
Love it! I love average!
Wow, that steam thing is handy!
Happy mothers day❤ You taught me a lot. A lot..
I love your channel. I relate to your methods. I am retired and clean as I am able. Work on clutter to be safe. Keep up the good work. 🤪🦋
You are real, that’s all that matters. I don’t watch the ‘glam’ RUclipsrs , (some who are living a perfect glam lie).
An herb garden in front? I have a neighbor who has used the boulevard in front of her house as her garden. It is fun to see how your garden is developing.
Happy Mother’s Day 💕 I love all your gardening videos. I wish I could plant variety of plants in front, but I have a mafia of deers (group of 9-12 organized mischievous beasts) going through my yard everyday… Im so done. Now Im just planting junipers, catnip and lavender.
🤣🤣🤣This is so funny calling the deer 'mafia' and 'organized mischievous beasts' ‼@chaotichousewife5929
Thanks for making me laugh LOL Love you :)
I see the project exhausted your trusty assistant, Le Chiffre! I got tired watching you as well! LOL! I truly admire your energy Sophia!
Hey Sophia....the steamer is giving me encouragement to tackle my bathroom!! Love your spider plant...I so want one!!🪴😊❤TFS.
Happy Mother’s Day Sophia!!!!!
Love the steamer Sofia ❤
Easy tip for the hard water stains in the bath. Toilet cleaner that dissolves limescale just leave for 30 minutes and rinse
I had lots of mould on my tiles and around the seal. I soaked in bleach and used paper towels to cling to the side (coated in bleach). It lifted a lot of it. It’s very fummy but opened the windows and went out for the afternoon. Saved a job of removing the old grout and seal and re-doing
The struggle is real! Why not take down the glass panel on the shower? It would make cleaning it so much easier. You could really transform the bathroom with peel and stick flooring and a new vanity. Maybe you would like it better until you can fully remodel? Habitat Restore usually has lots of vanities. Please don't feel like you have to apologize for being real. Thanks for the video.
Happy Mother’s Day, Sophia! 🩷🌷🌸 And to all the wonderful moms out there! You are awesome and you are enough! 🎉
Cleaning the bathrooms today…. I like the pink stuff cleaner and bought some after seeing all the hype. I can’t say it works any better than baking soda or other cleaners really though. It’s kind of like the hype with the scrub daddy sponges and the insulated water bottles. I think I’m in the wrong generation to “get it” or perhaps far too practical. 😂
Your herbs look great. So cheerful to hear all the northern birds chirping away as you worked outside. 🪴🌿🌼
The iron flask is bar far the best insulated bottle I got not hydride IRON flask it s much cheaper and it does keep my water cold all day. For coffee, contigo is really good I need to replace mine it s looking pretty beat up after 8 years lol. You won't see me with a Stanley or Yeti though. Those are for influencers, I am average.
Happy Mother’s Day Sophia 💐.. from another average viewer 😊
Sophia - you are anything but average. You're a working wife, mother, and professional, on top of you run several businesses and a you tube channel. Love these videos - just like you created in the past. We had a similar bathroom setup in an older home and we took out the shower door and put in a fabric shower curtain and am so much happier with it. Clean my tub with liquid barkeepers friend and it comes right off. My tub was bad too and now it's white. Peace.
How do you hang the curtain on the eave part of the wall?
The news break is hilarious!! I enjoy your channel very much and I agree that those pre cleaned channels are not real life. How is your little library going?
Very well. Lots of teens use it.
Happy mother's Day Sophia
Yes, more nonsense please. Love your video’s. Have a beautiful weekend.
Hi Sophia l just love how you are so honest and humble. Can we be neighbors?🤣❤
Yes we can
More cleaning please
Happy Mothers Day🌹🌷🌹🌷🌸🌺🌸🌼🌻💐Sofia!!!
Guess what not fancy at all here! Who cares about the others ! Just be you and I'll be me
Happy mothers day Sophia. I think so many ppl I've followed for years have turned into infomercials and really have no content. You are not like that your channel is great I hope you have great success in all you do
For many creators it is not by choice. YT has completely changed the way we earn income. We literally make half of what we used to if not less for the same amount of views. And then when you do this for a long time it becomes very difficult to come up with new and fresh content that is not repetitive. Some creators lose their enthusiasm and see themselves losing interest but have relied on the income so it has to be supplemented somehow. I do reviews but that s maybe 0.5% of the companies that each out to me. I kid you not I must get 15 to 20 different brands contacting me each week. For some creators it becomes easier to just receive products and review stuff because again youtube income is about 65% down from what it was 5 years ago, hence people moving to subscription based platforms and Patreon. It s not greed. It s work. It s survival. Literally no one wants to do this for free and I think that the majority of viewers do not appreciate the amount of work that goes behind creating a single video. So it is disheartening, at best, and I can see how some creators are thinking " well, I might as well get a free blender out of it".
@@mygreatchallengeI think that many viewers DO know how much work goes into making a single video because most content creators mention it at some point,if not repeatedly. And that is fine but it is their choice of how they make income just like the decades that I chose to clean ski condominiums. That was very hard work but I don’t recall telling my friends,relatives or strangers about how hard it was. Oh well,changing times.
