    I fold the laundry straight out of the dryer into a basket that stays on top of the dryer. This is what my mother did, as well. I've never liked that idea of dumping clean clothes somewhere so they can wait to be folded. I like to fold them when they're still hot so that they're not wrinkled.

    My mom always says “a clean house doesn’t always mean a happy house” . Life is hard sometimes and sometimes times you need a break to rest restart and then move forward. Well wishes to you and your family 🥰

    I absolutely love these types of videos that you do! Because your house looks like my house and I feel seen!! Everything you said about not knowing where to start and feeling overwhelmed is literally taking the words right out of my mouth. Thank you so much for normalizing this because there’s nothing more aggravating than getting on social media and seeing *those* homes and feeling like you aren’t doing enough when you’re giving it all you’ve got.

    Your life with children is more real n reminds me of my family growing up. The house was never clean long, sink full of dishes, constant laundry, but great warm meals on the table my mom made with fresh tortillas everyday! The sweetest memory of her kneading the dough n rolling out tortillas. All the neighborhood kids loved coming over to eat my moms food! That’s what children remember mom being home and making it HOME!

    A messy house won’t last forever. I often find myself thinking of the poem we learned in Irish class as young children. It sounds much more poetic in Irish I promise 😂
    Subh Milis By Seamus O Neill
    Original
    Bhí subh milis
    Ar bhaschrann an dorais
    Ach mhúch mé an corraí
    Ionam d'éirigh,
    Mar smaoinigh mé ar an lá
    A bheas an baschrann glan,
    Agus an láimh bheag
    Ar iarraidh.
    Translation
    There was jam
    On the doorhandle
    But I suppressed the anger
    That rose up in me,
    Because I thought of the day
    That the doorhandle would be clean
    And the little hand
    Would be gone

    Awww, I wish your channel was here when my kids were small. How many moms are shamed into feeling like they need to look like those “perfect” moms we see? Who may have support so they don’t appear to struggle? Or they don’t show the many retakes it took to get their video to look perfect? At the end of the day, we are each human and no one should be shaming someone. I love the realness of this video and thank you for it. Much of my kids’ journey was spent watching me work hard as a divorced mama, who spent time cleaning when they were with their dad, sometimes super late at night, so I could spend time with them, which is the most important of all. Continue on your journey and focus on providing love to your babies, which is the most important of all. Take care of your health, because it’s important…without it, we can’t do what we need and want. Your kids are small for only a little while, treasure this time. And enjoy your vintage time (I found you because I love vintage). Your kids want to see you and your interests and they too will learn to develop unique interests with your example. God bless. 💕😘

    Yes! This is what I needed! I feel like my home is always cluttered and never looks good 😩 But then I remind myself, I’m a full-time working mother of 2 young kids who spends my non-working hours as homeschool teacher, homemaker, cook, etc. Love the “where there is mess, there is love.” Need to make that my daily reminder. God bless, thanks for sharing your life!

  • @ObsidianxAlice
    @ObsidianxAlice 2 года назад +1

    For most of us, clutter is just a part of life. Little piles of good intentions that become part of the scenery, until one day you tune back into the details of your environment and you haven't seen your baseboard in a certain spot for a month, because that was just where that one pile lived? For some reason? I'm always very impressed by people who don't have tables turn into clutter magnets, but those people are few and far between. For most of us, I think we just try our best to keep things manageable, and what is manageable changes. A space in use will always be in some state of change, and that's okay. :)
    I think your house is lovely, whether tidy or messy.

Today, the youngest is home with a cold, just wants to cuddle in, I'm still in my pyjamas, and I've done nothing but hang out a load of laundry.
    And thats ok.

    As a person who just lost one of my sweet babies I completely agree that it is enough. On my sad days I don't think about the never ending laundry or the clutter about the house. I remember the quiet days when I was nursing a newborn baby watching the Lion King or the toddler who just wanted me to sing him another song from the Lion king. And when he got older how he didn't want to read baby books but he wanted me to read him what I was reading. ( that was when I stopped reading dime store romance novels and started reading the classics again) or when he wanted so much to be able to have his own gameboy so he could play pokemon with his older brothers. Then his skateboard as a preteen and he still enjoyed it to the end at 28. This is why I so enjoy your family and yourself because you remind people of what the most important part of being a parent is. Love, Patience and Time. 💗💗💗💗

    I'm a stay at home mom, have been off and on for 9 years (I've picked up jobs short term once my youngest was in school). I feel like there is pressure on stay at home parents to do it all every day because, well "your home all day so you have the time, right?". But I think you hit on a huge point at the end... being with your children. That's the real main reason we do it. If your trying to fit it all in your day you'll never have time for your kids. That's a thing I'm still learning after all these years.

I agree with the folding we wait till the end of the washing and my kiddos and I make a relaxing tv watch while we fold! We are most definitely not perfect and that is very much okay❤️ I have said this before the mess / clutter it's home like you stated we all can't afford all of those other things ! There isn't anything wrong with making memories and having a little clutter ! Your doing great with what your doing keep it up friend !

We all face our own challenges that create the difference between our dream home and our reality, and that's nothing to be ashamed of or let get us down. You help me remember trying my best and doing something instead of nothing, is enough.

Or can seem insurmountable if you are healing from illness. One thing I like to do is fold laundry or do basic things to music or podcast. Also never forget to take a little bit of time for yourself in the endless tide of activity.

    Very encouraging, thank you. Ghibli films are a favorite of ours too. I just started reading the book Miyazaki is basing his new movie on, How Do You Live. It’s very good So far and I recommend it.

    I wouldn’t normally recommend a devotional book to a random person, but I know you’ve mentioned (if I remember correctly) that you and your husband met at church, so I think this may be safe. If you haven’t read it yet, and just based on this video I wouldn’t be surprised if you have/are, I really recommend “Good Enough” by Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie. It speaks very much to some of the themes in this video, and I think you’d like it. We’re using it as part of our Lenten programming at church right now, and it’s easily the best devotional book I’ve ever read. Granted, I generally find devotional to be boring, sanctimonious, saccarine, or some combination thereof. These are pithy, witty, and not too long, always reminding you you’re good enough as you are. Also, there’s a LotR reference in the preface, so…
    And the faces your son makes at the end….I died! 🤣

      Oooh a LOTR reference? I MUST check it out ;) lol but yes, my husband's dad is a Baptist pastor, we met at church! I've been looking for a good devotional. My grandma used to send me Our Daily Bread pages in her letters, and those have always been precious to me.

    I loved this ❤️ I watched it as I tried to dig myself out of dirty dishes (I sent my husband and kids out to pickup food because there was absolutely nothing clean to cook with or eat on 🥴). Life happens, and one season we won’t have a house full of little people or mountains of laundry. Ohhh and his faces at the end 😂

      Takeout nights are my favorite, not gonna lie! Whether we've got dishes or not - but we've definitely had those nights where we had no dishes and just ordered in. Life happens!

    i copied a little bit from fly lady every friday is my laundry day, dry it and hang it away, yes hang it and suddenly the laundry mountain was no longer an enemy for me, but with window cleaning and ironing i can't make friends yet

      I need to look more into Fly Lady routines! I have had a few people ask me to try her routines out! I loved reading what I did look up.
      lol I've cleaned our windows like... twice since we've lived here sooo I feel that.

    This is so true. I live alone and don't have children, but I suffer from servere stress and that means being so burned out you can't do anything. So it helped when I just said to myself - when I have the energy, I'll clean the bathroom. When I have the energy, I'll do the dishes - or half of the dishes. So that it's not my entire home at once and I'm left exhausted needing to recover from it for days.
    A little bit is enough. What we are able to do is enough - if it's doing ONE dish, it's doing one dish.

    • @WithLoveKristina
      @WithLoveKristina  2 года назад +2

      When you have the energy, that's perfect! It's definitely enough. I tell myself - even five minutes is better than NO minutes!
