A whole house clean and tidy before we go to Cornwall

- In this video you can watch me clean the whole house from top to bottom before we go away to Cornwall for the week. Because there’s nothing worse than coming home to a messy house after you’ve been on holiday! I also have a ramble about parenting and growing up messy. I hope you enjoy!
It is really refreshing to see someone who is struggling and overcoming! We all know what a clean house looks like, but getting it there when you're not a perfect person is the issue. Thank you for walking us through what works for you. I know it helps me!
I'm one of those people. I came for the cleaning and stayed for the voice-over.
I prefer someone talking about what they're doing and why. It helps with my body doubling; it feels like you're having a chat with me
You are so fun. I am lying here, trying to find the energy to get up and clean, and getting pissed off on your behalf that people think they have the right to criticize you. You are clearly trying to raise decent children and have a happy, clean home. Thank you!
I'm not sure why you showed up in my feed. I'm so glad you did. I'm in the southern part of the USA. I'm a lot older than you. When I was your age, I had two small girls and worked full time. I was always overwhelmed but, for a different reason. My house was always clean because people pop in without warning and I couldn't handle anyone having a low opinion of me. While everyone thought I was handling everything I was really screaming inside and falling apart. When my marriage fell apart no one was more surprised than me. Apparently, I was so busy taking care that everything was so perfect I quit paying any attention to him. He found someone who would. That was 32 years ago. I still feel sad about it. We co-parented our girls, both remarried eventually, and share our grandchildren. We are friends now but, it was a long road. I love how you give yourself forgiveness. That was unheard of in my day. You do you. You are lovely. Your children look well cared for. Don't let someones opinion hurt you.
Ike is learning to tidy by helping you. You are so intelligent and well spoken. Love listening to you. I'm 75 and still can't get over how fast it all piles up. Your parenting attitude is outstanding. You've learned a lot from your own childhood and are using that knowledge to raise a couple of beautiful human beings. You are the BOMB !!!💕💕💕
Opinions are like bums. Everyone has them and they all stink.
That being said…sweetie, you are doing a fantastic job. We do the best we can with what we got and under the circumstances. We had 7 children and the house was never completely clean cuz it always seemed the kids were always right behind me undoing what I’d just done. But I love my children and I always let them know that even to this day. So don’t beat yourself up. You are amazing.
I love that you put your children first, then cleaning.❤
I’m very impressed by your emotional intelligence and how well you articulate your experiences.
Came here to say exactly this! ❤
I do love your voice overs! You cover real life happenings instead of ASMR type house that doesn't even look lived in!
Screw the haters & just do you for little family ❤
When I was a young married working mother with 3 kids...I used to run myself ragged trying to keep the house clean..my mom would say.. "You've got too much stuff you need to get rid of some of it... I hated when she said that..I was attached to my stuff & didn't want to part with it..Finally I saw what she saw & came up with the idea of putting stuff away in storage totes in my basement...my house looked bare to me & I didn't like it at first..I love to display pretty things around my house..but cleaning & moving things that don't necessarily need to be on display..or toys that wound up all over in every room was so overwhelming & consumed so much time..So I put most of it away.. Especially the toys..I left out a few.. after awhile I'd put those away & bring out different toys..not having toys all over in every room was much easier & the kids appreciated seeing a few items they haven't seen in awhile..oh I didn't tell them because there'd be resistance..I observed the toys they played with the least and began to put them away gradually..They didnt notice..This system of putting our stuff away changed my life..It was then that I realized my mom's comment wasn't a dig she was full of wisdom & was helping me..
When I had all my young ones running around I gave them a clean paintbrush and a very small bowl of water. I told them they could help mom by painting the wall. They dipped the brushes on the water and painted our walls. I finished my room ,looked at the wall and told them it was wonderful. They loved it and it kept them right beside me but out of the chemicals. I don't know if any of my ideas help but you seem like a lovely person and I have little tips and tricks to distract while they still feel like they are helping. Also I was a preschool teacher and a life coach. I have learned alot over the years. I believe this channel will be a help to many people!
If you don’t CARE what these mean people say you take away all their power! Just do not let their comments rankle - fluff them off your strong shoulders with a flick & a wave! “Children are playing and imagining and being kids” - you are so right - let them be kids! They learn by example - but each child is different - let them be who they are! 😊❤
❤️❤️❤️
Remi, you are wonderful mum.Its joy to see how your calm, kind and lovely with your boys.Its so nice to hear your confidence and assertiveness.Well done! You are motivating me a lot through your videos and voice overs.Thank you❤
Thank you for your videos! They are encouraging and educating. Skip over all negative comments and read the ones that really matter. The ones that reinforce that you are a great person who is helping a lot of other people. Thank you! Your videos are motivating, encouraging and satisfying.
I don’t think your home is bad at all, considering the kids and life in a small space. You always scrub everything down so well. I think you’re doing great. Give yourself some grace and try to ignore the negativity. 💜
I totally do this before we go away! It’s a great feeling when you get back home and it’s completely clean and you don’t have to worry about anything ❤
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual…People need to get a grip! You rock, Remi!❤
I have gotten rather addicted to watching your videos since I discovered them a few days ago. My late husband was British and so hearing you speak is nostalgic, though his accent was not particularly like yours! I’m American, but have lived in Canada over 40 years. But he and I did a trip to Cornwall before we were married , and I loved it so much! He’s been gone a few years now. Interesting to remember how it is living with small children! I love how caring you are towards your children and other family members! 😊 be happy!
The baby playing with the sponge like his momma is so wholesome ❤
I'm a mum of three grown boys and at this point in my life and theirs, I think I've seen it all. Watching you and listening to your voice over has led to this conclusion: you're wise beyond your years. You're spot on about everything. Here's to enjoying your young ones while you still can because they grow up so fast. The housework will never end but their childhood will and when you look back, you'll remember fondly the memories made while loving them and playing with them.
You have an amazing attitude!
The 1st thing I told my daughter when she was having a baby was to ignore other's unsolicited advice. I remember as a young mother being devastated by other's opinions. And there were a lot of opinions. Lol
Stay strong and positive. You're doing great!
I too have been messy all my life and I'm much older than you. You have given me such a boost. Thank you sweetheart!
Stefanie from USA
I love how you have such grace and understanding with your kids and their healthy development. THAT is what matters.
Thank you! ☺️
My God. People have no life if they are nitpicking at you. You are a young Mum and you are doing a fab job ❤
You are a wonderful Mother and wise young lady. So glad you let your children be children. They play and enjoy their toys even though that means little pieces are everywhere. I know all about it. I'm so glad you are sticking up for yourself.
The last time I checked there were no perfect Mother's. 😊
You, are one tough cookie! You just keep going, like the lil energizer bunny .
Dont forget to set a side some time for yourself to relax too.
I found you about two days. The amount of joy and peace I get from your videos. I love how real you are.
When it comes to instilling good cleaning habits for children that will last throughout their life, being a role model and showing them how to accomplish things is much more important than having strict standards.
Your kids getting involved in the cleaning voluntarily is a perfect way to illustrate how your behaviors are positively influencing them. As they get older, that's when implementing chores and clean-up expectations are more important for the long term success for you all.
I'm glad for all your commentary and it helps me reflect on my childhood as well as how my parenting can/should be with regards to household maintenance.
You are amazing, Remi! It's so cool that you responded to the nasty comments so clearly & with conviction!
Another commenter today said you're wise beyond your years. I agree!!!
Love your videos, love your voice, love what you say, and love how you're helping so many of us who struggle with keeping our places neat.
Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Yours is one of the few cleaning channels that I subscribe to because it is realistic, fun and because you teach me a lot about practical housework. I really don’t want to watch someone “clean” and “tidy” an already immaculate house that looks staged, and probably is.
OMG!!! I don't very often comment on videos but I'm just sick of watching good people, who take the time to try & motivate others, being berated by these anonymous perfect parents!! I'm in my 70's, I have 4 grown up children who believe it or not never had set chores. They all now have their own homes & are well rounded intelligent adults. One daughter is a nurse who manages the renal unit at a local hospital; my son is an electrical contracts manager; another daughter is in charge of admin at a local company & my youngest daughter is the director of a pharmaceutical company. Between them, they have brought up families & taken care of homes all without having set chores & schedules for cleaning during their childhoods...I allowed them to be children. They had rules about being kind & respectful & they have carried that through to the next generation.
Keep doing what you are doing!!!
You do you, sister. Don’t listen to negativity. You’re obviously a wonderful mother in the most important way: unconditional love
❤You're SANE, BALANCED, THOUGHTFUL, NORMAL and GENUINELY KIND. Keep up.the good posts.
There was no internet when I was bringing up my children. How I wish there had been! I would have found vlogs like this a godsend. Re tidying up, I suppose we all have to tidy up to some extent, but it should never come before children’s happiness. I read once “your kids won’t remember the days the house was super-tidy, but they will remember the days you took time out to play with them, take them to the park, etc”.
Exactly!
They’re children and should be allowed to be so! As long as you’re teaching them life skills all along, you can still allow them their childhoods. When I was a teacher, I hated assigning too much homework. The kids had been at their “jobs” all day and needed to be children when they got home. And don’t forget most of all to teach them that Jesus loves them! And you! ❤
Thanks for the videos! Please ignore when people nitpick you.
Girl, it’s so ace to see a normal mum doing these… some of the channels are great, but don’t show actual real life… and really appreciate your honesty.
Have a great time in Cornwall… It’s where I live, and agree that there is definitely something about the place that is just special…
Would love to see you do more vids, so keep em coming k? Xx
I have a tip. You do you! People judge to much and are quick to speak. I think your awesome!
I just wanted to thank you for your very real videos and putting yourself out there to help others - you're amazing! I love your voiceovers - very natural - it's like listening to a wise friend with nothing but positivity and insight to share. You make so many people feel less alone (and less guilty) in their cleaning struggles. I find it so challenging to keep on top of daily cleaning/tidying, it very quickly builds up and becomes overwhleming... not knowing where to start and so avoiding it - you motivate me to do better! Executive dysfunction is something I'm going to need to do more research on.
You are doing a wonderful job, and what an amazing mum you are to your boys (loving your approach to parenting too).
I think you are doing wonderful. Some people have not got a clue about parenting, house comes first but you are doing fantastic. I struggle greatly with house but thank God my children have grown up happy and mature. Well done you.💕💕💕
I love your attitude about hate-filled comments.
I find it hilarious that other people get so offended by the state of strangers homes. You don’t live there. Why do you care so much? 😂 Thank you for showing a house that looks like mine!
You sound a wonderful mum, a real mum and I wish I'd had one like you ...❤️💐💐💐💐☘️
I just recently found your videos and I’m watching all of them. I just love watching you. Your voice is the best! And you speak so kindly about yourself. You know what you need to improve but you are not beating yourself up about it! I appreciate all that you do!!
❤ love your videos, and I can tell you are a great mom. A perfectly clean house and being a good parent are not mutually exclusive. Have a wonderful holiday! 😊
Thank you lovely 🥰 ❤️
I absolutely love the line "They're not disrespectful. they're distracted." because that speaks to so much of what goes on with me in my space as well. Thank you for your videos, your voice and thoughts are lovely!
Some people seem to think they are experts on other people's lives.
I was like: do people actually comment on the sponges? Really? I clean for a living and sometimes all the material is the same colour but I always know what os being used for what purpose. In the end just wash it on high temperature or throw away anything that has been in disgusting places and that is that.
Why has she gotten all if this comments?
Hi hun I also have trouble with Windows as I'm so short, too. 😅 Ignore critics hun. Everyone has their own way of parenting and house cleaning. You're doing a great job. 👍
I'll be an expert on someone else's life after I become an expert on mine!
I just found your videos. I totally love them! I'm from the states; Virginia, actually. I love to hear you talk. You are right on target with what you say. All the time. I love it. Please don't change. You are young and yet you are so wise. It's so refreshing. I'm 60 years old. I suffer from ADHD and all the additional trappings that come along with that. I have struggled like you with clutter, but I totally love deep cleaning. It is so satisfying. You keep doing you, Honey. You are perfect just the way you are! ❤😊🇺🇲
I don’t think it’s that simple to teach kids to tidy after themselves, I don’t think it’s fair to make kids miserable and scared to play and have fun.
My grandchildren trash their house too, I do try and persuade my daughter not to buy so many toys, I think they get overwhelmed and don’t know what to play with, but it’s only for a short time, they aren’t kids for long. 😢
i have mental chronic illness
your videos really help me
good luck on your journey thru life
This was an especially captivating and strategic video. It’s was so heartwarming and adorable to see your little one handing you the laundry 🧺 and your older son helping to clean up.
Your words are sound and your attitude impressively assertive.
You’re going to go far with this channel.
Enjoy your vacation😊
I love your voice! Both in what you say, as well as how you say it! As an American with a plain vanilla no-accent voice, I find you thoroughly charming, and I am looking forward to watching you for years!!
Just found your channel, honestly I thought you were in my house😂😂 It is soooo refreshing actually seeing a normal person in a normal family home.
Thank you. Xx
Remi is such a lady. I am from America and the children here are so spoiled. You are loving and calm. I love your story.
You are so awesome!!! Yes!!! Sometimes you are just messy! Super neat people don't understand. I'm love watching you clean. Especially your aunt's house video, it reminded me of mine. You show it can be done to fix it. Thank you 😊 btw your voice and accent is super amazing and soothing to listen to ❤
Remi, I'm not usually one to comment on RUclips videos but I just had to comment to say thank you so much! I've been struggling with depression for the last two months and your video on 'how to clean when you're overwhelmed' single-handedly spurred me on to tidy my space and it helped me feel just a little bit more like a person. After watching that video I slowly made my way through all the others! Thank you for your honesty and transparency, you make me feel so much less alone. I can tell you're such a wonderful mum and you are doing an AMAZING job! Sending all the love xxx
You’re absolutely amazing, Mum!!!! Well done. Remember you are not alone. From another Mum with love. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been really enjoying binge watching your videos! Me and all my kids are naturally messy, and I am daily trying to combat the clutter and keep things tidy, and I often feel alone in my efforts. I love that your channel is a guilt free zone and I love the voice over and I’m truly not a fan of music while I’m watching cleaning motivation …those types of videos I often turn off because while I’m cleaning I want to hear something worthwhile. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and explanations and grace that we all need to give ourselves. Through you I’m learning to tidy while not having unreal expectations and know that my house is just fine because we actually live here and use stuff and yes make messes!❤
My mom always said (after having 3 girls): “if you to think you’re going to keep everything picked up and picture perfect, then you’ll be doing it 24/7 and that’s not possible, so don’t”. She was right; I tried anyway after having 2 and just about wore myself out. Don’t sweat it - let them be children. I lo e the way you do things! ❤️
I had a few months trying this too, the picking up was constant, and I was the most miserable, irritable person to be around. Every time someone left something out of place I’d huff and get stressed. I’d much rather be a chilled and happy mum with a messy house ❤️
The comments of some people on here amaze me you seem a lovely caring person you shouldn't have to explain yourself to anyone keep up the good work you have a good outlook on life have a lovely holiday 😊
Hello iam from sweden. And I love your accecent. 😊
I love your honesty. You are doing a fantastic job with these videos. I keep a very tidy house. But I’ve learned that a clean house isn’t as important as lifes experiences. Enjoying your kids is far more important than a super clean house. Keep up the good work.❤️
I just can't get over how pleasant it is to listen to you~ I could listen to you for hours. I'm such a fan now and I've only known about you for two days! 😻Thank you for letting us into your lovely home and visiting with you and your boys!! Hugs to you all from Colorado 💜
Wow! I came here for the cleaning & feel like I found a friend! I adore you!
You keep doing you! You're doing a great job Mama.
"They are not disrespectfull, there are distracted!" So true, I love it. Applies to me as well. Such a relief to hear it.
Oh my, sounds to me like you have some busy bodies. Well I'm glad you are standing up to them, because if they are saying all that they are bullies. And bullies don't stop until you show them you are not scared of them. I have 2 grown children, and i will tell you what i tell them. When children are born they do not come with an instruction manual😂 so don't worry about hateful people. Just do the best you can and it will all turn out fine in the end. 😊
I love how you have the kids helping. Even though it may be small tasks and a little at a time...overtime they will develop a sense of responsibility and hopefully assist you more as they grow up.❤
Don’t you worry what other people think! Your children will be all grown up in what feels like the blink of an eye, and when they look back on their childhood, their fondest memories won’t consist of how tidy the kitchen was, or if the beds were made up perfect (if at all). Their fondest memories will be the time you spent with them: playing with them, teaching them, laughing with them, listening to them. There will be so much time for catching those dust bunnies when your kiddos have grown and moved out! I love your channel. Have a great holiday and enjoy your family time! Blessings!
I could listen to you talk for hours, because your understanding of being a messy person, and clutter, and how things WILL get messy again but that is not a moral failing - I love how non-judgemental you are! I was just watching the video of you cleaning your aunties house and loved the part where you say you don’t expect her to keep it up! I almost teared up! Thank you for being so kind to yourself and others, and teaching your kids how to clean and tidy in a gentle and supportive way! Wish I’d had that growing up!
Love your video. People shouldn't make negative comments about your house or if your children tidying Gx
When I first clicked on your videos and you were talking about being a lofelong messy person, I felt understood for the first time in my life. So thank you for that and for being here. ❤
I can't believe that people still try to shame young mums for the condition of their house based on that person's idea of what's acceptable. Shame on them. And I'm so glad you're confident enough to tell them to buzz off! 👏👏👏
I am so happy that I found your channel. you are such a lovely woman. best wishes :)
As a new mom (I guess...my daughter is 17 months!) with ADHD who has recently had so many breakdowns about how I want my girl to grow up in a house that she remembers as safe and loving and not a disorganized mess...this has helped me so much. I needed this today.
I relate so much to your childhood. Not because my mom was super tidy, because she wasnt, but I was expected to be better at being tidy and organized and felt ashamed that I got distracted when being made to clean my room. I'm in my 40s with 2 teenagers and they're both learning to clean up their spaces, but I still feel ashamed by my extremely tidy British in laws (I'm American and live in England)....not because they say anything to me about the clutter, but because I know they're thinking it....because I'm also thinking it. I'm a lot better than I used to be, but it's overwhelming. Things get so messy so quickly after I've cleaned, even though my kids are no longer small. It's frustrating.
New subscriber! I love your accent and voiceover! These are the realistic cleaning videos I need in my life! Not “perfect” moms cleaning their already “perfect” houses.
❤❤I need to tell you how absolutely sweet you are. I'm sorry you have to deal with so many haters. You are so right in telling them to watch something else. You are such a hard worker. No one else walks in your shoes. You are doing an amazing job. It's hard to deal with young kids who make messes and you're the one who has to deal with the clean up. Anyway I found your channel and I subscribed. I'm a disabled 65 year old mom and grandma. I've really never been 100% tidy either. Now that I've seen you tackle your messes it has given me inspiration to tackle my own messes. And my messes are all my doing. It's very hard with my disability to clean. It hurts and I can't do too much at a time. I am putting my phone down now and I will accomplish something tonight before I go to bed. Thank you for posting and for the voice over. I love your voice. I'll be back tomorrow to watch more of your videos. God bless you and your family. I'm sending good wishes from the US. ❤❤
I’m from the USA 🇺🇸 and I luv watching u and hearing ur voice!!! Ty for taking the time and sharing your life 💜
Well I'm a grandmother and just found your chat so motivating I'm gonna get off my butt and clean my kitchen!!
I just mean seriously. the thing you say OMG, they feel so true, so kind, you just really make the workd a better place right now. and i want your loving words to come throught to so many as possible instead of these guilt inducing videos that we are all watching as a hope to find a solution to our chaos. Now your videos ARE helpful (except when I binge watch instead of cleaning)
Wish I could like this more than once! Good job!!!
👍🏼❤👍🏼❤👍🏼❤
Thank you so much for these videos. Cleaning/motivation videos are one thing, but to see someone demonstrating cleaning in realistic life situations is helpful and theraputic. Some cleaning videos are so judgy and impose a standard of perfection, but your perspective is so much more human. Mess is a part of life, especially with kids. Much love to you and your gorgeous family!
Hearing all the parenting bits was like a bonus on top of the cleaning! I am in awe of your transparency, perspective, grace and your voiceovers. So helpful!
There's so many mean people in this world. Love to hear your positive outlook. Also, I have ADHD and my executive dysfunction has been horrendous for a good while. This gave me the motivation to deep clean my bathroom. Thank you!
Remi, you are so beautiful, wise and insightful. I absolutely adore you. You are a brilliant, kind mother and partner. And, you have a lovely home xx
I love your channel! Please pay no heed to criticisms from those with no or one child. There are many of us out here who get it! In 30 minutes time, one child can trash multiple rooms.
I just discovered you today. Very encouraging and I'm binging as I clean right now. I love your voice! It's soothing to listen to you and I actually responded to you a couple times as if we were having a conversation! You're lovely! Blessings to you and the family!
I have just found your channel, and what a breath of fresh air its so nice to see someone showing the messy side of their personality ( I have always been the same) . My kids are grown up and left and its just me and I feel so overwhelmed sometimes that I am paralysed, No idea where to start so nothing gets done. Today I have started on my tidying journey and will be watching your videos to help keep me motivated. Thank you
I absolutely adore watching Ike help hang the laundry!
Thank you sooo much! I am so glad I am not alone and feel the list idea is going to work for me. I am a certified life coach and think you would be awesome in the field. Hope you had a wonderful vacation ❤️
Oh my goodness, I cannot express how grateful I am. You’re so generous, thank YOU so much! ❤️
Wow! I not only appreciate your cleaning but your way at looking at the world and at snarky comments. Good for you!
Remi, i'm one of those cleaning snobes you reference who thinks they know how to do it best. You have taught me that i wasn't seeing the person behind my imposed cleaning standard. Thank you for opening my mind to what complex issues make up everyone's cleaning perspective. Love your wisdom! Love your videos and humerous chat! Sometimes you have me busting a gut. ❤
My kids are just like me, we have more important things happening than constantly remembering to tidy up. It is so much easier to set a timer and follow your lead with the quick clean up every once in awhile. Thank you for that!
Your videоs motivated me to clean my home faster than my Vakunbotic robot does ❤
I love your videos Remi, love that you just do you. Your deliciously imperfect, relatable, real and just so lovely. Thanks for being exactly as you are x
One of your videos showed up in my feed last night and I don't think that I was 3 minutes in before I hit the "SUBSCRIBE" button. I love how relatable you are and how you explain what you're doing. I'm 44 and have a 5yo and a 7yo and the 2 videos of yours that I've watched have already given me hope (and tips) on being a better parent to my kids. I have dishes to do (no dishwasher here, either!) and I'm excited to watch your other videos while getting them done! Please don't stop making these videos. 🙏
Watching your littles ones try to help you clean is so cute.
🥰
I’m so sorry that people are being so rude to you.
I just found your videos. I need inspiration. And seeing you clean up a house that looks like mine gives me hope that I can.
And your kids are trying to help.
Ignore the rude people.
I appreciate you standing up for yourself and your family. There is nothing wrong with your method at all!
Very rewarding when all the clean up is done! You are a wonderful, thoughtful, loving mother with children who deserve to be children....messes are part of it all. 😊❤ Enjoy your holiday!!
I’ve watched other cleaning channels, and your video’s are the most down to earth and real video’s I’ve seen. I very much relate to you, even down to being too short. 😂
I don't have children, but you are able to give your children 2 things... love and happiness... you go girl... that is what a mum does.
