Having health care workers in your home, and the space to move around when being hooked up to devices makes what you're doing that much more special. You have no idea, Bonnie. You are an angel. ✨
Every time I watch one of your videos, I pause it a couple of times and throw something away. I'm not a hoarder, but still, stuff seems to multiply in drawers by itself overnight. Thank you for all you do, you are special.
Omg the carpet is amazing after all the cleaning ye did. Cammy is so brave to let so many friends and family in to help with the house. Wishing her and her family all the best. Your mam and aunt are hilarious 😆 I can’t believe that load of washing was done in 35 minutes. Well done Bonnie on taking a break with your friend (with a gentle push from hubby). Continue minding yourself. Take timeouts when you need to. You know this RUclips family will always be here. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👏👏💪👍💐🙏
What a transformation! I actually started on my own living room straight after the end result as I was so inspired! And now Cami will feel comfortable inviting the nurse into her home, what a difference that will make. The paddle boarding looked amazing. Really breathtakingly beautiful. I'm so pleased you did that! I love Remi Clog too and was touched that she talked about you in her video. You're both absolutely lovely. 😊❤
I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and I love them. You have a huge heart. I’ve been sick with long covid for over 4 years and my house got away from me. Between the clutter and dust/dirt, I’ve reached my threshold. I started cleaning last weekend and each day I plug away a little more. It helps that I’m finally starting to feel better but thank you so much. You’ve also turned me onto scrub daddy sponges and dawn power wash which has been amazing to use!
Thank you! I saw that he released his video about a half an hour before mine and I wondered if it would help or hurt my video because either people would jump over to mine right after they watched his or they would decide not to watch mine because they already got their fill of RUclips cleaning for the day. So, thank you for being in the former category. 😍🙏And thank you so much for the super thanks!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp If it helps, I don't think it's hurting your views at all. I literally have Auri's queued up after yours. Back in the day, when it was largely just Auri, I would always end up hunting for more videos after watching.
DANG!!!! you all did a fantastic job! If I were so very sick I would lose my mind if someone didn't help with the house work. It's bad enough being sick. A clean and tidy space is so important to our mental and physical health. I am so glad you can help this family. ecsocrin pancreatic disorder is a terrible illness, May God bring her healing and hope during a difficult time!
I have been decluttering for the past year. I’m 66 with bad knees and some days are harder than others. But I realize my house is easier to clean now. I decorate all my rooms. My grandson whom I adopted live here. We both pick up after ourselves but we get messy too. I can say it’s much easier on me to clean my house by cutting down clutter.
You are amazing. Your mom is so delightful. I totally agree with the chalk comment and velvet. Feeling those textures make me want to gag. Wow I feel for this family. Thank you for sharing everything. I'm not very good with words, but here is my 10 seconds of courage! Lol
The change in the lounge was remarkable. I get stressed if my house is a mess. But I don’t have good health so I’m no longer able to keep on top of things. So like many people, I have started to work on an area at a time, just accomplishing that small area or task make a huge difference to my mental health and reduces the stress I feel ❤
I'm new to your channel after being sent by Midwest Cleaning and wanted to say how much I love all of your commentary and reading and answering the comments in your videos. ❤
My mantra is "the less I have, the less I have to clean". The before/afters here illustrate that really well (not coming from a place of judgment, only observation; of course this family has all the reasons to backburner cleaning). Love watching Remi too 😁
@@Shrinkingviolett2 Absolutely! Again, zero judgment, the spaces you let us see looked like a family in survival mode. I've been there. You do what you have to do to tread water. But a clean space helps mentally and physically (less stepping on Lego pieces 😅), so I'm cheering you all on to find the solutions that work for your family. You deserve the best ♥
My husband was diagnosed with a rare vasculitis auto-immune disease last year which also caused severe kidney disease, and it turned our lives upside down. I can't imagine what Cammy and her family are dealing with. I've tried to look at our house 3 feet at time like Mack suggests. Some days survival mode is all we can manage. God bless you for helping this precious family! Your mom and aunt are too cute! You're doing an awesome job with your videos, Bonnie!! 💕 🙏🏻
I understand how serious the ANCA vasculitis is. My parent tested positive but kidneys are too damaged to do a biopsy and the biopsy could cause deadly bleeding. The doctors, especially the nephrologists that were on the case during the hospitalization scared us with how seriously they took it. Does your husband have a rheumatologist? This is wild to come across someone else dealing with this. I hope to God you and your husband are doing ok. I get how stressful kidney disease is. It turns life upside down. Has he avoided dialysis? Im sure he is on a super strong diuretic? Nothing like having to be close to a toilet after taking a dose. It takes one serious illness to reset priorities and the house usually is at the bottom of the list. ❤❤❤❤
@@mellowsunshine2724 Does your parent have Wegener's (GPA)? That's what hubs has, but we know there are other forms of ANCA vasculitis. His kidneys are functioning enough he has been able to avoid dialysis. His EGFR dropped to 14 during a flare a couple of months ago. We are hoping for improvement next checkup. His nephrologist is managing his care. It took months before we were able to get an accurate diagnosis because it's so rare. His nephrologist in the hospital had seen it before thankfully and ordered the kidney biopsy. Hubs is on Rituximab infusions every 6 months and has been on Tavneos for a year. He just had 3 - 1000mg steroid infusions to hopefully put him into remission again. It's a horrible disease, and I'm sorry your family is dealing with it. Hubs developed it after a severe Cov-pneumonia infection. Nephrologist said others are seeing similar cases pop up. All the best to you and your family. I pray the Lord holds you up through it! 🙏🏻 ♥️
@@mellowsunshine2724 I tried replying and apparently RUclips ate it. 🙄 Does your parent have Wegener's? That's the ANCA vasculitis hubs has. He has enough kidney function that he's not on dialysis. Rituximab infusion every 6 months, been on Tavneos for a year. God bless ya'll as you deal with this horrible disease! 🙏🏻 ♥️
I love your fan girl moment when you saw Remi Clog’s comment! She’s brilliant, so I’d be the same 😁 You’ve made a life changing difference in Cammie’s house. I hope her family can relax a bit now and take care of themselves xxx
I didn't think that carpet looked very dirty. But the water dump told a whole other story! Nice job u two! Don't forget 2 squeeze in some fun. Your Oregon Viewer. We r expecting 92° this August 4th.😅
I loved the moment with your family at the laundry (I laughed together and had fun)! The cabinets organization at the end was super great, just like everything else. You girls are incredible!!! Sweet video and good luck Cammy! It's going to be ok 💖
I'm very proud of you for creating boundaries around comments, I can only imagine how overwhelming it must get when you are pressuring yourself to reply thoughtfully to every one you get!
❤😊. Such good work helping Cammy. Im with you on the, *other people's kids thing* , Its the noise for me... they always seem to be yelling or screaming 😂
I live in Woods Cross which I believe is around the same area as Cammy? I moved here a little over a year ago and don’t have kids so, needless to say, I have a lot of time on my hands.. lol… if she ever needs help, no matter how small, feel free to reach out and we can find a way to connect.
Oh my gosh, seriously?! What are the chances? Yes, she still lives very close to Woods Cross. If you are interested, maybe you could come help me the next time I'm there. I don't know what your schedule is like or if you work during the day, but it would be fun to work with you and let you meet Cammy and her family and go from there. Do you want to email me and we can chat about this more? My email is btashdown@gmail.com.
I agree 😊. I always put my favourite music on and make sure I have rewards planned like a nice dinner for after or a bubble bath. Make it a lot easier to endure!😂
This was wonderful! So enjoyable, especially watching people come together to benefit a person in need and maintain the camaraderie... The general goodwill you and your helpers project naturally is a beautiful thing and such a help for the recipient! Easier to receive help from friendly, kind persons who understand and don't criticize as well as don't patronize. Thank you, Bonnie! Happy to once again watch what you do- great job! bye
So nice to see people working together,families helping families,that's good old fashioned living. We all need that,communication away from all the high tech,electronic, impersonal robotic detachment. Your Mom.Aunt and brother were so nice to help out,lovely folks,too! The water looked really refreshing,good to get outdoors!! I have a son that likes to organize cabinets so I get him to do that for me. But I don't have that many spices either! You did a great job at Cammy's. I hope this finds her doing better! Her home is looking better,indeed! My best to her husband and kids also,Bless their hearts!!
The carpet cleaning and dirty water pours were SO satisfying lol. Not to mention, you are fabulous at organizing! And wow, the paddle-boarding looked phenomenal. Take care, Bonnie! ❤
I'm binge watching the Cammy series. She has a beautiful house. I have digestive issues and I lost a bit of weight unintentionally. I went from a size 12 to a size 4 myself in seven months. Going from being slightly overweight to just barely above the normal weight range can be scary. I've had other digestive issues appear later and now I'm even thinner. So I went from being normal weight to being slightly underweight.
The carpet cleaning footage was a real treat! I spent two hours on my hallway yesterday and I have a lot more to do. And now I know how to fold jeans so they will fit in my dresser. This channel is gold. Thank you, Bonnie!
I am almost at 30 minutes of the video, I just need to comment: your aunt is hilarious, your brother should have his own channel, also Lenita is soooo wonderful and godspeed to Cammy on her health, I wish nothing more
Nice to hear your doing better. Bacon in the couch clip hilarious. Couch....WOW Jeans Guess, Wrangler, Levi and more so did that!!!! Coline is great! Love her. Remi Clog is contagious. What to say about Mack, Barbie and you Totally Love you guys. 👍🥰
Holy cow. The water from the carpet. That’s how I felt when I got a new vacuum cleaner. Ours was like 25 years old and I thought let’s do it. I got a clear bagless wind tunnel 😮and the first time I did one pass in the bedroom I was shocked. For the first year I think, every time I used it I would show my husband like OMG look at this!! he was never as impressed as I was. 😂 one little non shedding dog…and feet. 😂😂😂
We had an old Kirby for years and years that we bought refurbished and thought it did an amazing job. When we finally broke down and bought a Dyson due to being tired of carrying that heavy Kirby up and down the stairs, I was blown away with how much it picked up. 😱 I felt a little lied to in that moment that Kirby's were far and away the best vacuums ever made. I'm sure that was true for a long time, but those days are gone. No more heavy vacuums for me, thank you very much. And both my husband and I still get a little giddy about how much it picks up, especially with a shedding Golden Retriever. I swear we vacuum up an entire puppy every time we vacuum. 😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp oh my goodness, more memories!! We had a big ol' heavy metal Kirby growing up. I think it may even have been my grandparents' before us...
Haha, I still show off the impressive amount of long orange cat hair my vacuum sucks up. It’s a Bissell, and it has the additional pet hair spinner on the front and I’m in love with an inanimate object for doing such a good job😍😆
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for what you do!!! I can’t tell you the amount of times that I find my self getting disorganized, and then I have to stop and realize that things are getting messy! 😆 Your videos are super bc you incorporate every kind of cleaning:)🧼🧹🧽🧺🏠
Yesssss spice organizing! My husband alphabetized our spices, but the bottom shelf keeps getting disorganized. Saffron and nutmeg are fraternizing. I loved the dueling carpet cleaners! I was thinking to myself oh wow, I wonder how the circuit is handling that and BAM the power went out in your video 😂😂😂 Great job!!!!
Thank you for showing the proper respect to the Legos! I love seeing these videos of people with disabilities receiving this kind of help. I know from experience how hard it is to keep up with your home chores when your health is suffering. I can't even imagine how grateful I would have been for this help.
Couldn't believe the amount of dirty water that came out of that carpet! I'm glad Cammy has neighbours who are helping her too. You are all a blessing to her and her family.
I ADORE YOUR MOTHER !!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤ I bet she was a blast while you were growing up. So glad you are feeling a little better, glad hubby insisted you go relax for yourself for once. Do not worry about replying, lots do not because there are too many like your's. The one young man acknowledges everyone and their comments at the beginning of most of his videos. He also talks about how much he loves what he does and engaging with everyone and like you, it bothers him he can't reply to all but please know he does read them. Cammy's home is looking so great. She has been blessed with lots of help, that helps you as well. God love Lenita, she is a trooper. Again, glad you are on the upswing.
Oooooh, that's so smart to have alphabetized the spices, I've never thought of that! But that makes it so much easier to find stuff! I don't really know how to cook so I don't own/use a lot of spices either but in a kitchen like that it makes perfect sense. Also wow - that water is unbelievably clear!
I've been cleaning for a family member who's in detox, for the past few days, and taking care of the pet. You, Mack and other cleaners have inspired me and given me the energy and motivation to help this family member. Thank you for that. I'm SO tired right now but I want to at least make it look neat before they come back. I totally get the *need* to keep going when the body is saying "rest", it's like tug-of-war
That's amazing, Andrea! It is sooooo hard to take a break even when your mind is telling you to stop. It feels unnatural. I'm camping again this weekend and trying to force myself to not look at my phone so much, but it's hard not to. I'm sure your family member will very much appreciate the hard work you put in and the clean place they get to come home to after what I'm sure was not the best experience. Bless you!
Your mom is just great! I think carpet is beautiful and makes a home warm and cozy, but I have an old dog and cats, so I don't want carpet in my home. I love your videos, your sense of humor and your friendly nature. And a hi to Cammy. ❤
This comment is for “Cammy”: As my health deteriorated, I kept thinking about the expression “fantasy self” and how it can apply not only to who we would loved to have been but also who we used to actually be but realistically probably will never be again. When I came to this sad realization,I thought “well you can wallow in this,or you can simplify your life and enjoy the things that you can still manage.” I dropped my hobbies (and ALL OF THE STUFF that went with them) from about ten down to just two. I was gobsmacked by my reaction,once it was out of my house,I WAS SO RELIEVED! It was like they were sitting there before and shaming me for spending the money and not doing them AND cluttering my life,all at the same time! 😖😳😵💫 It looks like you were into baking for example,but honestly now,if you get the energy in the future to make a box mix of brownies,your family will be just as thrilled.👍
I agree I need to cut back on interests. That’s very difficult for me because I have defined my identity as a person and to some degree, also my value through what I can create. Having gone to art school, fashion design school, nursing courses, as well as a background in business, teaching, (and having worked for a habit focused company -started by an author and productivity guru that wrote books on 7 ways habitually effective people behaved 😉 - for 10 years) means I’m well rounded, surprisingly thoughtful for being so extroverted and hyper verbal, and compulsively curious. Cutting down interests is like asking me to turn off my brain. I simply don’t know how to stop being interested in so many things that I cannot hope to ever count. Not using my creativity feels counter intuitive.
I understand that very much Cammie, I can't do all the things I love doing, I used to make Weddings and novelty cakes, as well as novelty ones, I organised the parties too, unfortunately I can't do that any more, I have RaA, I can't do that any more or be able to walk much, I have a crafting table now, I love it, I can't always do what I want to make in one sitting, but it gets done eventually lol. I hope you are feeling better.😊❤
@@Shrinkingviolett2 I get it,but honestly,your greatest identity and value now is being a wife and mother,very honorable roles indeed. (Just ask your family.) I guess I’m too pragmatic,but the way you and your family were living makes all of those past accomplishments seem incongruous. There were MANY things that I used to do,including important volunteer work,but I realistically want the best life that I can give to my family with the limited energy and ability that I have now,the rest comes down to humility and modesty.🫤
I loved seeing you bring order to this front room, is that where the family spend time together like a livingroom? Or are there other rooms with sofas that they hang out? As I know the houses in America can be a lot bigger and have several more rooms than our homes. The water dumping was sooo good 😍 I love seeing you with your family, your mums little song was really fun 😄 x
I guess that depends on how you define the room. Many homes have a front room that could also be considered a living room where they have a TV and do a lot of family type things there. Other times, the front room is mainly just to visit with guests. Then sometimes there is a family room which is kind of like a bonus room where there might be another TV. Sometimes, that room even doubles as a toy room when you have younger kids. In my home, we have a front room that we don't use that often except when we have guests and need extra seating for meals and stuff. Then we have our living room with the TV and that's where our family generally hangs out. Then we have a family room downstairs where our kids will hang out with friends or play VR games. When they were younger, it was their toy room. So, it really just depends on the family and what they decide to use each room for, but we definitely have a lot of rooms that are a little excessive, honestly. 😊
Love seeing the progress. I am certain the family has been SO grateful to you for helping them out and I'm glad some neighbors are chipping in to help too. It's amazing the lies society tells us and then the ones we in turn tell ourselves about how we have to be or what someone else will or won't do or think, but when we break free of all that and just ask for help (the way children do), we get to experience love and support that is both needed and unexpected. We were made to be in community with one another and moments like this just go to help prove it. Thank you ALL!!
It’s wierd because I thought I’d have more energy faster, but turns out vitamins coming back signal your body to use them to heal and healing takes calories too, so I’m still exhausted but feel stronger. NOW I just need to figure out some of the last missing pieces and I have a surgery too. 🤪⚒️🔨🤓💕
When my daughter went to prom we couldn’t afford a350$ dress, which was a lot 20something years ago. So her best friend and her were goin to different prom night so they split the cost of the dress, April wore it first,had it dry cleaned and her friend wore it the next week.
I love these kinds of stories. It's so silly that there is so much value placed on what we wear. I never had a prom dress that wasn't borrowed or just one of my fancier Sunday dresses. I even borrowed my wedding dress and I have no regrets.😊
So a few years ago, I was talking to my mom and we were talking about certain pantry items, like baking powder and she mentioned that hers had expired. Now I knew that seasonings expired but I kinda never thought about items that just always seemed to be in the pantry. So I decided to check my baking powder. This happened in 2022 or so. It had expired in 1999😂. I wish I were joking. It was older than my daughter. I did throw it away obviously and bought a new container. But my cousin teased me the next time I baked cookies that they were the best since 1999.
That’s a great story! Did you know baking soda goes bad faster than baking powder? Also, your pancreas makes baking soda! It does! To help neutralize stomach acids when finally moved on into other stages of digestion. 😮
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! I can totally see that happening to me because I am terrible at keeping up on items like spices or baking products. My daughter went through a period of wanting to bake almost every day, so I would have to purchase those items more often, but I bet if I go look at my baking powder right now, it's probably pretty old. Maybe not 1999 old, but I'm guessing 4 to 5 years. That's a great story!
On the jeans subject, For me on school it was all about Levi 501 button fly and Gloria Vanderbilt. OMG i had tons of 501 jeans. Who else remembers this trend?
I forgot about button-fly jeans! I still love those more than zippered jeans. Game-changer. Although, the stretchy jeans will forever be the best thing to happen to jeans in my opinion. Were it not for stretchy jeans, I don't think I would ever wear them. 😁
Me too. 501s and we got them together and the feed store because they were cheaper than a clothing store. They were mens of course and how I thought they would fit a girl figure, but we all looked the same so it was cool. ❤. Dittos was also really popular. I had pink and mint green and thought I was so cool 😎. LOL
A beautiful transformation Bonnie! I'm so that you've got a plan in place for comments/replies/likes etc. Well done in hammering that out. I really do think it'll do wonders. Also as a major Lego collector myself, (I know these sets!) I respect that you aren't throwing away any pieces! They are P R E C I O U S T O U S!!!
That looks like such a fun adventure. I’m glad you’re taking time for yourself too. You give so much of yourself to others, I’m glad you see you refilling yourself too! ❤
I also love Remi. 😊 I would suggest asking the homeowner what spices they use most, out those at the bottom, and the lesser used higher as you go. Just a thought. 🤷♀️❤️
Those after pictures of the living room made me say, "DAMN," out loud... and I'm the only person at home right now.
😅
I have that kind of reaction a lot!
I also have to pause because I'm laughing so hard sometimes. 😂 Loooove your appreciation of the quirky things, Bonnie!
Sometimes that’s the best time to curse. No witnesses. 🤓🤪💕
Sneak Curse Word…
It is so refreshing to see collaborators acknowledge each other in a positive light. No cut throat. No channel bashing. Thanks for all you do.
Amazing transformation... and I'm I the only one who sighed happily when the two carpet cleaners were going? THE STRIPES 😍

I'm so sorry about your husband's diagnosis. It's amazing how quickly life can change. ❤️🙏
I understand how serious the ANCA vasculitis is. My parent tested positive but kidneys are too damaged to do a biopsy and the biopsy could cause deadly bleeding. The doctors, especially the nephrologists that were on the case during the hospitalization scared us with how seriously they took it. Does your husband have a rheumatologist? This is wild to come across someone else dealing with this. I hope to God you and your husband are doing ok. I get how stressful kidney disease is. It turns life upside down. Has he avoided dialysis? Im sure he is on a super strong diuretic? Nothing like having to be close to a toilet after taking a dose. It takes one serious illness to reset priorities and the house usually is at the bottom of the list. ❤❤❤❤
@@mellowsunshine2724 Does your parent have Wegener's (GPA)? That's what hubs has, but we know there are other forms of ANCA vasculitis. His kidneys are functioning enough he has been able to avoid dialysis. His EGFR dropped to 14 during a flare a couple of months ago. We are hoping for improvement next checkup.
His nephrologist is managing his care. It took months before we were able to get an accurate diagnosis because it's so rare. His nephrologist in the hospital had seen it before thankfully and ordered the kidney biopsy. Hubs is on Rituximab infusions every 6 months and has been on Tavneos for a year. He just had 3 - 1000mg steroid infusions to hopefully put him into remission again.
It's a horrible disease, and I'm sorry your family is dealing with it. Hubs developed it after a severe Cov-pneumonia infection. Nephrologist said others are seeing similar cases pop up.
All the best to you and your family. I pray the Lord holds you up through it! 🙏🏻 ♥️
@@mellowsunshine2724 I tried replying and apparently RUclips ate it. 🙄

God bless ya'll as you deal with this horrible disease! 🙏🏻 ♥️
I love your fan girl moment when you saw Remi Clog’s comment! She’s brilliant, so I’d be the same 😁 You’ve made a life changing difference in Cammie’s house. I hope her family can relax a bit now and take care of themselves xxx
She is a life changing hero! ❤
I love Remi Clog too 💜💜💜 I use her videos as body doubling
She's so easy 'work with' 😌 Relatable and kind and her narrations are gentle and calming
I didn't think that carpet looked very dirty. But the water dump told a whole other story! Nice job u two! Don't forget 2 squeeze in some fun. Your Oregon Viewer. We r expecting 92° this August 4th.😅
You and your dueling carpet cleaners were cracking me up!
😁
I loved the moment with your family at the laundry (I laughed together and had fun)! The cabinets organization at the end was super great, just like everything else. You girls are incredible!!! Sweet video and good luck Cammy! It's going to be ok 💖
I'm very proud of you for creating boundaries around comments, I can only imagine how overwhelming it must get when you are pressuring yourself to reply thoughtfully to every one you get!
❤😊. Such good work helping Cammy. Im with you on the, *other people's kids thing* , Its the noise for me... they always seem to be yelling or screaming 😂
Right?!
Omg, your momma is a hoot 😂
I live in Woods Cross which I believe is around the same area as Cammy? I moved here a little over a year ago and don’t have kids so, needless to say, I have a lot of time on my hands.. lol… if she ever needs help, no matter how small, feel free to reach out and we can find a way to connect.
Oh my gosh, seriously?! What are the chances? Yes, she still lives very close to Woods Cross. If you are interested, maybe you could come help me the next time I'm there. I don't know what your schedule is like or if you work during the day, but it would be fun to work with you and let you meet Cammy and her family and go from there. Do you want to email me and we can chat about this more? My email is btashdown@gmail.com.
Your laughter makes me smile. You’re showing people the possibilities- that cleaning doesn’t have to be misery.
I agree 😊. I always put my favourite music on and make sure I have rewards planned like a nice dinner for after or a bubble bath. Make it a lot easier to endure!😂
So true!!❤❤
This was the family singalong I needed 😂
😊
Conversation clips are great. Many forget there’s a real person surviving issues that contribute to the need to clean.
This was wonderful! So enjoyable, especially watching people come together to benefit a person in need and maintain the camaraderie... The general goodwill you and your helpers project naturally is a beautiful thing and such a help for the recipient! Easier to receive help from friendly, kind persons who understand and don't criticize as well as don't patronize. Thank you, Bonnie! Happy to once again watch what you do- great job! bye
Lovely to see you laughing again Bonnie
Wow, the carpet cleaning water😮
So nice to see people working together,families helping families,that's good old fashioned living. We all need that,communication away from all the high tech,electronic, impersonal robotic detachment. Your Mom.Aunt and brother were so nice to help out,lovely folks,too! The water looked really refreshing,good to get outdoors!! I have a son that likes to organize cabinets so I get him to do that for me. But I don't have that many spices either! You did a great job at Cammy's. I hope this finds her doing better! Her home is looking better,indeed! My best to her husband and kids also,Bless their hearts!!
💕
Thank you so so much!❤
The carpet cleaning and dirty water pours were SO satisfying lol. Not to mention, you are fabulous at organizing! And wow, the paddle-boarding looked phenomenal. Take care, Bonnie! ❤
I love Remi Clog too! She is VERY awesome just like you are! ❤❤❤
Fantastic work, I aspire to become like you guys!
I'm binge watching the Cammy series. She has a beautiful house. I have digestive issues and I lost a bit of weight unintentionally. I went from a size 12 to a size 4 myself in seven months. Going from being slightly overweight to just barely above the normal weight range can be scary. I've had other digestive issues appear later and now I'm even thinner. So I went from being normal weight to being slightly underweight.
I feel your pain. I went from 128 to 120 in a year. I hope you are doing better now! Hugs 🫂 ❤ - Cammy
The carpet cleaning footage was a real treat! I spent two hours on my hallway yesterday and I have a lot more to do. And now I know how to fold jeans so they will fit in my dresser. This channel is gold. Thank you, Bonnie!
I am almost at 30 minutes of the video, I just need to comment: your aunt is hilarious, your brother should have his own channel, also Lenita is soooo wonderful and godspeed to Cammy on her health, I wish nothing more
The neighbours are lovely people too!
😊💕🙏
Thank you! ❤
Love what you do as a “cleaning angel” and that you’ve realized the importance of taking care of YOU. Great job, as usual!
❤❤❤😊😊😊. XXX
Nice to hear your doing better. Bacon in the couch clip hilarious. Couch....WOW Jeans Guess, Wrangler, Levi and more so did that!!!! Coline is great! Love her. Remi Clog is contagious. What to say about Mack, Barbie and you Totally Love you guys. 👍🥰
😊❤️
Holy cow. The water from the carpet. That’s how I felt when I got a new vacuum cleaner. Ours was like 25 years old and I thought let’s do it. I got a clear bagless wind tunnel 😮and the first time I did one pass in the bedroom I was shocked. For the first year I think, every time I used it I would show my husband like OMG look at this!! he was never as impressed as I was. 😂 one little non shedding dog…and feet. 😂😂😂
We had an old Kirby for years and years that we bought refurbished and thought it did an amazing job. When we finally broke down and bought a Dyson due to being tired of carrying that heavy Kirby up and down the stairs, I was blown away with how much it picked up. 😱 I felt a little lied to in that moment that Kirby's were far and away the best vacuums ever made. I'm sure that was true for a long time, but those days are gone. No more heavy vacuums for me, thank you very much. And both my husband and I still get a little giddy about how much it picks up, especially with a shedding Golden Retriever. I swear we vacuum up an entire puppy every time we vacuum. 😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp oh my goodness, more memories!! We had a big ol' heavy metal Kirby growing up. I think it may even have been my grandparents' before us...
Haha, I still show off the impressive amount of long orange cat hair my vacuum sucks up. It’s a Bissell, and it has the additional pet hair spinner on the front and I’m in love with an inanimate object for doing such a good job😍😆
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wpI love my Dyson and it’s older than my daughter who is driving age.
Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for what you do!!! I can’t tell you the amount of times that I find my self getting disorganized, and then I have to stop and realize that things are getting messy! 😆 Your videos are super bc you incorporate every kind of cleaning:)🧼🧹🧽🧺🏠
😊❤️
Amazing video! Watching all you ladies laughing together, while working, is priceless. Mom is a killer. Bless her! God bless for all you do ❤❤
Yesssss spice organizing! My husband alphabetized our spices, but the bottom shelf keeps getting disorganized. Saffron and nutmeg are fraternizing.
I loved the dueling carpet cleaners! I was thinking to myself oh wow, I wonder how the circuit is handling that and BAM the power went out in your video 😂😂😂 Great job!!!!
Thank you for showing the proper respect to the Legos! I love seeing these videos of people with disabilities receiving this kind of help. I know from experience how hard it is to keep up with your home chores when your health is suffering. I can't even imagine how grateful I would have been for this help.
Life changing! And yes! Respect the legos! I’m going to have to start saving that! ❤
That's so amazing. I liked the added washing the clothes etc
Thank you! 😊
Couldn't believe the amount of dirty water that came out of that carpet! I'm glad Cammy has neighbours who are helping her too. You are all a blessing to her and her family.
What an incredible transformation. That's amazing. 🙂
I ADORE YOUR MOTHER !!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤ I bet she was a blast while you were growing up. So glad you are feeling a little better, glad hubby insisted you go relax for yourself for once. Do not worry about replying, lots do not because there are too many like your's. The one young man acknowledges everyone and their comments at the beginning of most of his videos. He also talks about how much he loves what he does and engaging with everyone and like you, it bothers him he can't reply to all but please know he does read them. Cammy's home is looking so great. She has been blessed with lots of help, that helps you as well. God love Lenita, she is a trooper. Again, glad you are on the upswing.
You really are a cleaning angel! Its awesome how much you are helping Cammy and her family!
Oooooh, that's so smart to have alphabetized the spices, I've never thought of that! But that makes it so much easier to find stuff! I don't really know how to cook so I don't own/use a lot of spices either but in a kitchen like that it makes perfect sense. Also wow - that water is unbelievably clear!
I've been cleaning for a family member who's in detox, for the past few days, and taking care of the pet. You, Mack and other cleaners have inspired me and given me the energy and motivation to help this family member. Thank you for that. I'm SO tired right now but I want to at least make it look neat before they come back. I totally get the *need* to keep going when the body is saying "rest", it's like tug-of-war
That's amazing, Andrea! It is sooooo hard to take a break even when your mind is telling you to stop. It feels unnatural. I'm camping again this weekend and trying to force myself to not look at my phone so much, but it's hard not to. I'm sure your family member will very much appreciate the hard work you put in and the clean place they get to come home to after what I'm sure was not the best experience. Bless you!
Thank you for doing that! I’m sure it helps in ways you don’t even know.
Mack is now living in the house you two cleaned bc he got separated recently. ❤🎉❤🎉@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp
As you were cleaning the carpet I was thinking I hope she shows us a good water dump. You did not disappoint.
😁❤️
I'm so happy that you got away and really enjoyed yourself! Great clearing and organizing as usual! Take care, love you bunches!!
Your mom is just great! I think carpet is beautiful and makes a home warm and cozy, but I have an old dog and cats, so I don't want carpet in my home. I love your videos, your sense of humor and your friendly nature. And a hi to Cammy. ❤
🥰👋
Hi right back! ❤
Your screen name makes me think of particle physics and string theory. ❤
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This comment is for “Cammy”: As my health deteriorated, I kept thinking about the expression “fantasy self” and how it can apply not only to who we would loved to have been but also who we used to actually be but realistically probably will never be again. When I came to this sad realization,I thought “well you can wallow in this,or you can simplify your life and enjoy the things that you can still manage.” I dropped my hobbies (and ALL OF THE STUFF that went with them) from about ten down to just two. I was gobsmacked by my reaction,once it was out of my house,I WAS SO RELIEVED! It was like they were sitting there before and shaming me for spending the money and not doing them AND cluttering my life,all at the same time! 😖😳😵💫 It looks like you were into baking for example,but honestly now,if you get the energy in the future to make a box mix of brownies,your family will be just as thrilled.👍
I agree I need to cut back on interests. That’s very difficult for me because I have defined my identity as a person and to some degree, also my value through what I can create. Having gone to art school, fashion design school, nursing courses, as well as a background in business, teaching, (and having worked for a habit focused company -started by an author and productivity guru that wrote books on 7 ways habitually effective people behaved 😉 - for 10 years) means I’m well rounded, surprisingly thoughtful for being so extroverted and hyper verbal, and compulsively curious. Cutting down interests is like asking me to turn off my brain. I simply don’t know how to stop being interested in so many things that I cannot hope to ever count. Not using my creativity feels counter intuitive.
I understand that very much Cammie, I can't do all the things I love doing, I used to make Weddings and novelty cakes, as well as novelty ones, I organised the parties too, unfortunately I can't do that any more, I have RaA, I can't do that any more or be able to walk much, I have a crafting table now, I love it, I can't always do what I want to make in one sitting, but it gets done eventually lol. I hope you are feeling better.😊❤
@@Shrinkingviolett2 I get it,but honestly,your greatest identity and value now is being a wife and mother,very honorable roles indeed. (Just ask your family.) I guess I’m too pragmatic,but the way you and your family were living makes all of those past accomplishments seem incongruous. There were MANY things that I used to do,including important volunteer work,but I realistically want the best life that I can give to my family with the limited energy and ability that I have now,the rest comes down to humility and modesty.🫤
Midwest Magic Clesning told me about your channel I am gladI I found you. You did a very good clean up, well done.
I loved seeing you bring order to this front room, is that where the family spend time together like a livingroom? Or are there other rooms with sofas that they hang out? As I know the houses in America can be a lot bigger and have several more rooms than our homes. The water dumping was sooo good 😍 I love seeing you with your family, your mums little song was really fun 😄 x
I guess that depends on how you define the room. Many homes have a front room that could also be considered a living room where they have a TV and do a lot of family type things there. Other times, the front room is mainly just to visit with guests. Then sometimes there is a family room which is kind of like a bonus room where there might be another TV. Sometimes, that room even doubles as a toy room when you have younger kids. In my home, we have a front room that we don't use that often except when we have guests and need extra seating for meals and stuff. Then we have our living room with the TV and that's where our family generally hangs out. Then we have a family room downstairs where our kids will hang out with friends or play VR games. When they were younger, it was their toy room. So, it really just depends on the family and what they decide to use each room for, but we definitely have a lot of rooms that are a little excessive, honestly. 😊
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp I would love all those extra rooms but then there would be more to clean so theres pros and cons 😅 x
You are so sweet to help others in need! God bless you!
Love seeing the progress. I am certain the family has been SO grateful to you for helping them out and I'm glad some neighbors are chipping in to help too. It's amazing the lies society tells us and then the ones we in turn tell ourselves about how we have to be or what someone else will or won't do or think, but when we break free of all that and just ask for help (the way children do), we get to experience love and support that is both needed and unexpected. We were made to be in community with one another and moments like this just go to help prove it. Thank you ALL!!
Love this! ❤
God bless you and your team
Great to see your family at the laundry.
🎉love your videos
Your mom and aunt are the cutest!!! Thank you for sharing their little song!!
That front room makeover was amazing! Good work.
Aww I'm excited to hear about cammys update! I really hope the feeding tube helps her feel more like herself 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 the room looked great.
Thank you!
It’s wierd because I thought I’d have more energy faster, but turns out vitamins coming back signal your body to use them to heal and healing takes calories too, so I’m still exhausted but feel stronger. NOW I just need to figure out some of the last missing pieces and I have a surgery too. 🤪⚒️🔨🤓💕
@@Shrinkingviolett2 oh my gosh that does make sense your body is probably so desperate for those vitamins! Thinking of you!! 💞
Hi Bonnie
The livingroom looks fantastic. Great Job!! Spice cabinets awesome. Thank you for sharing.
I just love your mom.
Awesome job as always glad the homeowner helped u.
When my daughter went to prom we couldn’t afford a350$ dress, which was a lot 20something years ago. So her best friend and her were goin to different prom night so they split the cost of the dress, April wore it first,had it dry cleaned and her friend wore it the next week.
I love these kinds of stories. It's so silly that there is so much value placed on what we wear. I never had a prom dress that wasn't borrowed or just one of my fancier Sunday dresses. I even borrowed my wedding dress and I have no regrets.😊
I didn't know there were so many spices available. Impressive!
So a few years ago, I was talking to my mom and we were talking about certain pantry items, like baking powder and she mentioned that hers had expired. Now I knew that seasonings expired but I kinda never thought about items that just always seemed to be in the pantry. So I decided to check my baking powder. This happened in 2022 or so. It had expired in 1999😂. I wish I were joking. It was older than my daughter. I did throw it away obviously and bought a new container. But my cousin teased me the next time I baked cookies that they were the best since 1999.
That’s a great story! Did you know baking soda goes bad faster than baking powder? Also, your pancreas makes baking soda! It does! To help neutralize stomach acids when finally moved on into other stages of digestion. 😮
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious! I can totally see that happening to me because I am terrible at keeping up on items like spices or baking products. My daughter went through a period of wanting to bake almost every day, so I would have to purchase those items more often, but I bet if I go look at my baking powder right now, it's probably pretty old. Maybe not 1999 old, but I'm guessing 4 to 5 years. That's a great story!
I so enjoy watching your videos! I also love your stories about your life.
The before and after videos are amazing! You ladies did a great job!!!
On the jeans subject, For me on school it was all about Levi 501 button fly and Gloria Vanderbilt. OMG i had tons of 501 jeans. Who else remembers this trend?
Calvin Klein in the 80's ! 👖
I forgot about button-fly jeans! I still love those more than zippered jeans. Game-changer. Although, the stretchy jeans will forever be the best thing to happen to jeans in my opinion. Were it not for stretchy jeans, I don't think I would ever wear them. 😁
Me too. 501s and we got them together and the feed store because they were cheaper than a clothing store. They were mens of course and how I thought they would fit a girl figure, but we all looked the same so it was cool. ❤. Dittos was also really popular. I had pink and mint green and thought I was so cool 😎. LOL
Corduroy jeans and my mom made those pants with the very wide legs. My mom made me a lot of clothes
Still love my Levi's and the Gloria Vanderbilts. They always seemed to look better than other brands
A beautiful transformation Bonnie! I'm so that you've got a plan in place for comments/replies/likes etc. Well done in hammering that out. I really do think it'll do wonders.
Also as a major Lego collector myself, (I know these sets!) I respect that you aren't throwing away any pieces! They are P R E C I O U S T O U S!!!
Thanks for helping this family. Not everyone understands the struggle.
Thank you!❤
I wish you lived near me! You do wonderful work! ❤
That looks like such a fun adventure. I’m glad you’re taking time for yourself too. You give so much of yourself to others, I’m glad you see you refilling yourself too! ❤
I also love Remi. 😊 I would suggest asking the homeowner what spices they use most, out those at the bottom, and the lesser used higher as you go. Just a thought. 🤷♀️❤️
