🎉 Yay, go you on the 50K, Steph - you've come a long way, baby! 😍🎉 Isn't it funny how, not only are we getting our stuff together by doing this, we have made a whole bunch of new friends and are having more fun?! Big hugs to you and your lovely Mum [waves at Heather]!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you Diane! 💜💜💜🎉🎉🎉 it really is amazing, this community of positive and loving people that have gathered 💜Thank you for inspiring me and others every day!
It is a great place to be on both of your channels.......love both of you!!!!!
My husband and I raised 5 children (all adults now). I clearly remember the best advice I got from a friend. She said it's okay to have toys scattered around when unexpected company comes, your job is simply to make sure there isn't dirt, dust bunnies and food crumbs gathering in the midst of the toys. This was freeing for me as a mother of young children...also, the best investment we ever made while the children were young was a child size plastic snow shovel with a wooden handle. It was used strictly inside to scoop up the toys when it was time to put them away. It was my husbands idea 38 years ago and it worked like a charm!! As the children got older they were able to scoop up the toys themselves. Genius really! P.S. I always look forward to your videos, thanks for sharing!
Ok, I seriously love the idea of a snow shovel, lol! I need that for my kids' rooms!
My makeup I actually got under control many years ago. My makeup on the counter use to drive my husband crazy so now when I do my makeup I take everything I’ll need out of my makeup bag and put that on the counter. As I use everything I put it back in my bag so there is nothing left on the counter when I’m done.
Good decluttering project, too!
Steph, I have been going back watching your old videos. You give such positive comments. You give me hope. I am a senior citizen , and not great health. But with your permission given to do what I can when I can. You are such a blessing and a positive force thank you for this.
This comment❤
Diana, I'm 52 years old with some back issues and two school age children at home still (whom I homeschool). For a while, my back was so bad that I could only be on my feet for about 5 minutes at a time. SO frustrating!!! I totally agree that you just do what you can AND I always reminded myself to just "jump back in" (which I believe is a saying from the Fly Lady, which I first started doing about 15 years ago). I love Steph's take on Fly Lady and her encouragement too!!! She's awesome!! Hang in there, Diana!! Just do what you can and you'll keep moving forward! :)
Ditto everything with you, Diana..... I ,too, have health thing that have seriously slowed me down. I wish I could have known this when our 3 were growing and I worked full time...seems so much more preferable to what I always did...and the" clean" was really tough...but got done. I am a senior, and I am using this little by little and better and better.
In my mind “company ready” would be a clean guest bathroom, decently clean kitchen and decently clean adult sitting area. If the “playroom”’or kids areas are a toy mess that’s to be expected I would say.
Clean bathroom tops my list too!
Steph, you look fabulous! I like how the Diana Marsden said in her comment that you are a positive force! 😀 you 100% are, I absolutely agree!
You are such an inspiration! I am 51 years old, just recently started my own RUclips channel, and have recently become very encouraged to get into more of a routine. I find myself now speaking your language. I told my beat friend the other day that I was getting better at getting dressed to shoes. She asked what that was, I explained, and then a couple days ago she said she was having a lazy day, but she did at least "what you said the other day" (got dressed to shoes). I'm only at 80 subscribers, but I think I may implement more of The Fly Lady routine and of course mention you as inspiration! By the way, your eyes are beautiful!!
This is great Melissa! Well done, good luck with your channel, I will check it out!
It’s funny how when you abandoned perfectionism you found so much love and support. I think it’s because we can relate and you showed us that forgiveness of yourself and flexibility are so important. And the irony is that you look so together the way that you are managing children and at home and husband and everything else . By abandoning perfectionism. you actually accomplished more. Perfectionism can be crippling. Now there is the joy of accomplishment. Great lesson! Most of all I like your spirit. Thanks for this video and all of your others.
Well said Marie! It is so true too, I am happier now than I have ever been :)
This is my favorite video of the day. I can see why you are so loved. You are so endearing, and you attract endearing subscribers.
your channel has been so life changing to me!! The progress does not show up over night! Its really gradual because its a learning curve to declutter and then to think in a declutter mode!
Thank you for always motivating me. I'm in that depressed state you mentioned after you had your second baby ... With God's help I will be able to get back on track
You will :) Just take it one day at a time, and make your self care a priority
@@TheSecretSlob thank you! You're so sweet ❤️ also sending you love and kisses and congratulations for your baby boy
This is the first time I've commented but I must say... I really like your channel and your advice. What makes you so relatable is your kind and genuine personality. I am in my fifties and wish to God something like this had been available when I was your age. I hate mopping too! I find that a self wringing mop... the kind you twist is what works for me. Thanks for all you do and for being who you are!
Thank you Sharon, your kindness means a lot to me
Thanks! I'm trying to change my habits but the road is long and hard when it comes to cleaning, getting rid of stuff and getting organized. If you know of anyone in the San Antonio area who would be interested in a cleaning co-op keep me in mind. You give me and all the other secret slobs out here a lot of hope so keep on keepin' on!
Canadian tuxedo ....I've never heard that. I love it!
For those of us with naturally “slobby” / disorganized(to the organized person) / non-habit/ no routine ways..... this is just core in us. We will probably always have to fight against it. (in my slobby opinion anyway)
Been fighting it for a little over 50 yrs. 😃
But good things are worth fighting for! always👍
One of my dear friends, who is french, once told me that “things always go back to their natural state” lol I need to ask her again how one says this in french. It’s an old french saying that rings so so true!
Let’s keep up the fight ladies! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
50, 000 subscribers! Congratulations!! I'm so impressed and couldn't be prouder if Iwas your Mom! Haha! What were you nervous about? You were AMAZING!! I couldn't get a word in edgewise because so many people love you like I do. Great job, Steph! XXOO❤
Thank you!!!
Well done on your first solo Q&A. Re: the hard water question, I would agree that white vinegar and wiping down the shower after it’s been used really helps to keep limescale marks at bay. I added it to my morning routine as I am last to use the shower. X
I started the Flylady system 19 years ago after my second son was born and I felt so overwhelmed. I fell off the wagon for several years when I went back to working full time but found Diane in Denmark, then you, then the Minimal Mom and I feel like I am getting my home back under control again with all of you to inspire and motivate me to do what I can each day.
Alison Gregson They are my 3 favourite on RUclips too!
Set the timer today for the first time👍🏼 who knew you could get so much done in ten minutes 🤔🤓👍🏼🇨🇦❣️
You are just super cute! I feel about you like you feel about Diane (who I started following because of you). You are real! And that is refreshing. Thank you for all your encouragement to all of us😊
Loved this video 🥰 i never folded my kids clothes either. I actually hung them all up because the dresser drawers were my nemesis with little ones, impossible to keep organized. I hung them out of reach until they became smart enough to reach them 🤣 I agree, this community is amazing and full of women who want to lift each other up. Found you through Diane In Denmark 💗 thanks for the video
Even taking just before and after photos is motivating, especially when a room goes out of control and it feels so daunting to start again. To be able to scroll back and see what it shape it was in before helps.
I would love to know and see a video of your evening routine. How you cook dinner and clean up and keep up with your babies at the same time. Thank you for all your help and support for us struggling mommas.
I can work on that! Thanks 💜💜
SHOWER - Melissa Maker over at ‘Clean My Space’ suggests getting a squeegee (they sell them at Dollar Tree) and squeegeeing your shower walls after every shower to eliminate water stains and cut cleaning time. Also, a hand-held shower head in great, not only for showering but for cleaning the shower as well.
I mix water, vinegar, a few drops of dishwashing soap and tea tree oil. I spray before the squeegee. That keeps it shiny and good smelling.
You just motivated me to start using my timer! I wasn’t and I think that’s a big reason why I dread certain tasks.
The timer is a game changer. Especially when you finish with extra minutes and you realize how quick many of the tasks we dread can be.
I just subscribed last week and I am very motivated. I have started already. Thank you.
Love you and your sister. I found Fly Lady last year and Minimal Mom . You are great as well! You are fun to watch. Good job.
I’m afraid I missed this! I really like this and I hope you’re able to do it again.
Congrats on your 50,000! So cool. You are touching many lives. So encouraging.
Loved this. Mopped my floors whilst listening to you! ❤️
Thank you for all the motivation
Your videos motivate me. THANKS!
Oh Steph, you are a Doll! Enjoy your sweet smile, energetic energy and kind heart. Hugs 💞
Loved the live chat! I need to thank you (and the Fly Lady) for your encouragement for antiprocrastination day. I put off making a dentist appointment (ahem...for 2 months because I get so nervous with dental work) but after watching one of your videos where you mentioned antiprocrastination day, I made the appointment. I got the dental work done (in a FIVE hour appt. :o ) and I feel SOOO much better that the appt. is not hanging over my head anymore!! :)
Oh my goodness, I would procrastinate that too! Well done, just ripped off that bandaid (for 5 hours, ouch)!
When i started Flylady, 8 months ago, dentist appt went on the list and never got done til 3 days ago. I can't believe it's finally done! My teeth are nice and shiny too.
50k Is amazing Girl,, congrats
Thank you :)
I love your hair like this! When my children were little, we ate and played outside as much possible. Wonderful , long summer days to remember.
Thank you! Yes, we love to be outside :) Spring can't come soon enough!
Steph your live was great. I hope you do more. You give so many people the encouragement they need. I have watched all your videos and some more than once . Keep up the good work. You inspire us.
I love your channel. I am so busy with work and am single so after work, I simply do not like to clean anymore. On top of that, I am perfectionistic so I always started a deep clean and had all the piles everywhere at the end of the day and obviously I lost motivation.
And the 'helpful advice' of friends that people were allowed to see I would be living here just ended in me just dropping things where I was. Your channel gives me the motivation to keep going. Greetings from Cambodia.
Hello Steph! I've totally enjoyed your refresh. you look so pretty.
Looking beautiful steph!
Would really like more live videos. You have a very good attitude on not being hard on yourself. Love watching you videos
Thanks for being so upfront about your self , I have learned so much!
Congratulations on 50000 subscribers! 🎉 I love your videos! Thank you for all of the great motivation!
50,000 Yay!!! Well done Steph! You're awesome! 💕🇬🇧🇨🇦
Thank you !
Hi Steph, I just wanted to say thank you to you and Diane. It is so true that in this crazy time the world is in, routine brings calm. Since I am staying home as much as possible now anyway, I might as well get my house clean and pretty, to help feel more relaxed. So thanks for helping us get our houses in order, one small task at a time.
You may find this tip helpful. The enjo bathroom glove & cloth or Norwex has a glove & cloth as well used on the shower everyday keeps things at bay. It’s amazing way to keep shower or tubs clean. Love your channel.
Oh, that was so much fun, Steph, thank you! Yes, please... love the Live. You are one of 2 people I follow on RUclips that have made the hugest difference in my life over the past 6 months. Thank you. 💗
P.S. Looking forward to watching your laundry video 😀 and the new Zone series. Super helpful as I continue to unpack boxes in our new home of 4 months! Your vids help me to keep motivated picturing how great it will be when I’m all done! ... next box! 😁🤪
Hi Steph, thank you for this.
As I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 I watched it a few hours later.
Thank you for all the tips & motivation. x
Stephanie, great video. Hi from Michigan 💜
Love your channel! Yes, Minimal Mom does the same laundry routine. A lot less stressful than KonMari method!🤪
Konmari is lovely for when your kids are grown, and flown the nest. Something to looks forward to.
LOL! CanNOT believe that I forgot & missed the livestream because I was - no joke - doing my evening routines!
I watched immediately after and got so much out of it! Great job Steph!!
Lol, too funny :) :)
Great live stream! Love your channel!
Thanks for being so encouraging and taking us with you on your journey. I appreciate your honesty and positivity.
You look so amazing!! So glad everything is going so well after the baby came. 💜💜💜
Steph wanted to cry when you said declutter never ends😆😂😂..at the same time ...at least I'm not insane..I will watch this a few times .This is so empowering to share.
Congratulations on 50k!!🎉🎉
Thank you!!
Congratulations on 50,000!
Thank you for sharing your struggles with perfectionism. I’m still in the midst of dealing with feeling overwhelmed by everything and I’m going to have a third baby in the fall, so I hope that I can learn to let go of the stress and focus on making progress instead of perfection. It helps to know it’s not just me and that things can change. I tend to be an all or nothing person so it can be hard for me to find the happy medium
So sad i missed the live ... i love loved watching this. Thank you so much for sharing beautiful... congratulations on the milestone. Your so amazing... sending you lots of blessings and love
I did not catch you live, but I thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. Thank you so much for all the encouragement you give! I look for the notification from your channel each morning, and it really helps me to get going. ☺️
Massive congrats on reaching 50k subscribers!!! I’m loving your channel and way of approaching flylady. As a soon to be new mom, seeing how you’re getting back on your feet and into your routines is inspiring. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to continuing to follow your videos 💕
Thank you Sarah!
Good morning! You are amazing Steph!! Getting back on track after having a baby, and with 3 children!!

You make my day better!! Thanks for sharing all your tips. ❤️
Wasn't able to watch live but enjoyed the Q&A
I love the Flylady system! I found you while searching for fresh inspiration and your channel is just what I was looking for! Congratulations on 50k and your first live; I hope I catch you live next time 😊
I clean my tub when I'm in the shower every day!😃
Watching from the uk so missed your live. Love your channel and you are so lovely and refreshing. You are so real and you make me feel like I don’t have to be perfect and can mess up and nothing bad will happen 😂 thank you so much. Keep going Steph you are amazing. Go girl 🙅♀️
Im sorry I missed you! I was asleep I'm loving your videos timer us a must in my house I feel I'm happier and less grumpy because I do more on a timer instead of nonstop hrs after work a day missed so much out of my kids!! I do understand flykady method more through your videos and words! God bless!!!yes more lives!!!
Thanks, Steph, I just watched this on catch up from the UK. Love your channel. Thanks for just being you, cos you allow the rest of us to be who we are. Thanks for your vulnerability. And now I'm gonna do a quick declutter (shredding of old paperwork)!
Your first livestream was awesome, dear Steph!!! I love to watch your videos! You are such a wonderful and inspiring Person and always motivating! I had to watch your stream now because I‘m from Germany and I was sleeping when you were live...😅 I would be very happy to be part of it the next time!!!😍
Thank you! I will pick a more 'Europe friendly' time next time!
The Secret Slob That would be sooo great, thank you!!!🎉😍🌸
Fantastic Steph on hitting the 50k!! Such positive vibes you’re sending across the world ! Sorry you were live at 1am here so I missed it .xx
Congratulations on having the 50K subs, woohoo! I love all the channels you mentioned, I've been watching how Jen does it for the longest, and heard about the Flylady system from her for the first time. BUT I got into it after watching your videos (all of them in about 3 days, haha) I'm currently binge watching Diane in Denmark :)
Grrrr I’m so mad I missed this! Next time ❤️
Sorry I missed the live feed. Our Internet is nuts! Just wanted to comment for the question on hard water in the shower. I've discovered that if I keep a magic eraser there & just wipe it down every day or every other day it helps keep the build up down. & no chemicals!
Thank you Steph for all your hard work.
Oh good idea! Thanks Tammy!
I love ur smile.. keep smiling pls.. 😊😁😀 I wrote it in my routines.
Sorry I missed this video. Still loving your videos❤❤
Hi Steph, great to see you!
super vid.. you girl done good! sorry i was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz when you were 'live'!!
Congrats you deserve it. You inspire me. Fm Singapore ❤️
Of course he appreciate you.
Thank you so much!! This helps me to stay on track. :)
You look so pretty!!!! Thank you for your videos ❤
Great video as ever, thanks for sharing. Congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers. How do you manage 1-1.5 hours cleaning a day?!
Not all at once :) just little bites here and there through the day!
This was great! What an inspiration.
Love the q and a
Congratulations! 😊😊😊
That was fun!!🤗
It was! :)
You welcome!
By the way, the video quality of your live stream was great! May I ask you what you used to record it? I have tried a few live-streams before, but I don’t like the quality of the video. Thanks! 😊
Thanks! I used my Samsung 10 phone :) I also moved the internet receptor thingy to right beside me for optimum bars!
The Secret Slob oh, easier than I thought. But I believe this feature (to use mobile devices for live stream) is only available for channels with over 1K subs. I’ll have to find a way to use my phone. Thanks for sharing your setup!
16:56 wow
Another great video. Can you please talk a bit about your 30 day super declutter you began with? Or Is there a video where you talked about it already?
Yep! Here is the link, I filmed every day! DECLUTTERING PROJECT - ruclips.net/p/PLkiOFqoMuCLatJL7M75kr1bgV7Bu6_W6m
I help babysit. The 2-year old is the best little guy at helping pick-up, the 5-year old needs more encouragement.
Thanks Steph from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. You have been helpful in explaining and breaking things down this Flylady system. I always have been the encouraged and motivator for others around me, yet lately have been struggling with personal motivation. I think filming would, like you keep me more accountable. Do you use a phone or a camera and what sort of software for editing?
Thank you in advance for continuing to encourage me and others, especially with Canadian content.
I use my phone to film and iMovie on y laptop for editing. I learned everything I know about making videos from youtube ;)
Hi Steph! Sorry I missed your show. I just missed it by minutes though! I am an individual with OCD in a house with a bunch of slobs. lol I can't keep up with them. They bring in more stuff than I can keep up with. So, I am trying to weed out again and get rid of more, hoping this Spring cleaning season will get rid of a bunch, any tips? How do you get it all done, when you have a whole house, plus your daily chores? It feels overwhelming at times!
I don't get it all done :) I just get done what I can and call it good. Focus on the areas that will make you feel most calm if they are clean :)
@@TheSecretSlob Thanks! That is kinda what I have been working on. It' makes me feel good to know that I have some areas done. I actually completed the laundry room today and over 1/2 the kitchen yesterday! It's getting there! Thanks for the encouragement! :D
I got to thinking 💥 and thought I would ask🤐 ,,,,Have you ever thought of doing a meal prep video🤪, where you plan out a week of evening meals? Just curious. :D Thanks 🤭🤭🤭
Congratulations on a great first Q&A. Even though I wasn't live, the replay was a delight and very helpful! I'd love to see more but suggest you only do them when you want to. No pressure.
Thank you Lynne! I will for sure, it was great fun :)
I notice that if i pay 30 seconds on my kid i can go for another 15 min, and this works for a copple times. But do pay full attencion!!
Also I hate folding and putting laundry away, and organizing the Tupperware any tips for not procrastinating these?
Really enjoy your channel, what did you say your sister channel is please ? Please do another following such as your beginning zone cleaning.
Plastic Free Fam
I keep all my makeup in one small bag. It stays in my purse, and usually do my makeup in the car! Never a mess and zero storage in the house.
Good idea! I have heard of this before, especially for moms who have to do school drop off etc
Hi from the UK Steph xx
Damn. You look gorgeous 😍😍
