Love to clean my room and bathroom first ,makes it seem like everything just falls into place with getting everything else done on time .and if i need a break i sit in my room and can relax .even if its for only ten minutes. Its peaceful and keeps me motivated.
As a mom of 4 kids, the youngest is now 11, teach them to clean up after themselves. Teaching them the habit early is the best thing you could do for them. Kid's morning routine- make bed, get dressed, etc. Kid's evening routine- put away toys & books from the day, lay out clothes for tomorrow, etc.! I really enjoy your channel but from someone who tried to do it all, get them to help. They can even have daily jobs around the house! Once the jobs are complete, they can watch a movie! I just wanted to show you some momma love. It's super easy to get burned out and overwhelmed! (Trust me I know!❤❤❤)
Wow ! So much have changed ! I remember the declutter videos of the dining room, the sunroom, and the kitchen ! I really enjoyed following your journey so far !
I really think your older kids should have to tidy their own rooms every night. Mine are grown now but they have taught their little ones to do it also.
So excited foryou, after your awesome decluttering all the routines will go faster. That was my experience, still working on it. Thanks for the motivation and sharing your journey!
Assign each family member a cup for the day and have them rinse it and put it in an assigned location. Have the kids clean up their own rooms before movie time. They will keep it nicer. It’s fine to help them, but you can’t keep up being a one man show forever. Trust me when they get older they actually get messier.
You are so inspiring! I am not a minimalist- at all, however I am the most organized and tidy hoarder that you will ever meet. Since watching your channel, I have gone through my entire house and will be starting on my basement next. More then 75% reduction. So, thank you! When raising my kids, their friend’s mothers would act in disgust that my children all had chores. I never understood that. Although they had everything, they were taught to respect what they had. Without knowing, I too taught them to be organized and tidy (hoarders) with daily chores. Now, as they are adults - much talk about minimalizing. It is all a learning process. Truly, I am learning right beside you!
I'd love to see what your reset looks like now, you've decluttered so much snice this video. I love watching your progress, you give me so much motivation. Keep up the good work ❤
My favorite room to clean is my bedroom. It doesnt need a lot of work. It's usually putting things in their rightful place or getting rid of stuff. But cleaning the kitchen and bathroom are most satisfying. I feel so accomplished when those areas are clean.
This is me, but you should teach your kids to clean and tidy after themselves, that will be a huge help for them when they are adults if they learn that now.
Yep. Your children are little. Time to make them help pick up so they develop good habits. They can do small chores like put their dishes on the counter near the sink or dishwasher after dinner. They can wipe off the table with a damp cloth. Teach them to wipe the crumbs into a pile or into their hand. They can push their chairs in after use. Of course none of this will be done perfectly, but it gives them a share in participating in the family. They will get better at it as they get older. You just add more chores as they get older. No reason for you to have to pick up all those Legos a little toys on their bedroom floor. Picking those up is a must before bed. You get the picture. It takes time to get them to cooperate, but you will be much happier in the long run. The bonus is that you teach them to become self-sufficient i’m totally able to care for themselves and a home by the time they are adults.
You must be absolutely exhausted every single day. My daughter is not even allowed to leave her bedroom in the morning if her bed isn’t made and her toys haven’t been put away. I won’t do it for her because I have enough to do without having to pick up after her. If I go into her room to put her clothes away and her room is a mess she gets a visit from “angry mom”. She is expected to keep her own spaces clean and tidy and we manage well because we have designated places (that were agreed upon) where everything goes and I have showed her how. Kids love to be “mommy’s little helper”, so it’s a really good thing for them. You really amaze me. I don’t understand how you can declutter, homeschool, keep your house tidy, play with the dog and still fit in cooking, eating and sleeping. You are super mom! 😁👍🏻
Why are you the only one cleaning, picking up, organizing? As a Home Schooler, this is a valuable lesson for the children - being responsible for cleaning up after themselves - not expecting someone else to do it for them!
I think you'd do well to buy one of those small outside rakes for your boys carpeted area and under their beds! I like cleaning my kitchen and my van the best, after that I think it's laundry for me.
I love cleaning my bedroom, I pull everything out clean it all, including windows,inside and out. I clean my bathroom every day as I am ocd. I have to make sure it’s clean before and after I have used it. Hope you’re having a blessed day.🌹🌹🌹🇬🇧
If you ever have time to take baths, use the leftover wine in your bath water. You would think that it would be drying to your skin, but it is not and make the bath water smell really good.
Don't mean to be wet blanket, but had to turn off volume because irritating music, so I didn't hear your comments. First vid I saw, u had cleaned off the window area - then I noticed it all cluttered again ??🤔 Why don't u have the kids clean up after themselves?? Not meaning to be negative, but seeing these last two , just have ?? First vid I saw of u, was decluttering ur kitchen -- very much enjoyed that !!😉 Also, just subscribed!
Julie, these are the BEST ones I've ever used. So easy to clean in the washer and dryer, and they really fit so well on the chairs. I've probably washed them 20 times and they still are the same blue color. Here you go! amzn.to/322t52z
Keep a large pliers in a drawer near the sink to remove the plastic pieces from water bottles. Great start having the kids pick up their stuff & put it in the basket. Next step: Have them put the stuff away too! You work too hard!
I am so impressed that you have carpet in your dinning room. I made my husband yank it out and lay laminate. With the camel back pieces, I just avoid buying them.
Oh Leilani, hindsight is 20/20. We have gorgeous, original hard wood floors underneath. I put carpet everywhere for the dog. She couldn’t walk on hard woods. I think about ripping it all out and going back to the hard woods.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could clean that fast!??! Probably the kitchen for me as well. Now that you are done... come clean my house! LOL Have a great night!
I know! I’m so sorry about that. I’m so glad you mentioned it. I think I have improved the sound in the latest videos. Will you check kitchen Declutter and let me know? I’m trying! :)
I'm sorry if you've already answered this, but how does that vacuum do on hard floors? Ours works well on carpet but not on hardwood, but now we dont have any carpet so I'm looking for a new one, thanks!
I use shark my first one was from a yard sale for $15, I still have it. Still going strong 3 yrs later :) then because I loved it so much, I wanted the newer model, I bought the shark duo clean a 2yrs ago now at Costco on sale $199.99. Normally $250-350 when it was brand new every where else. I absolutely love it. Easy to clean, bagless washable filters. I have laminate floors throughout my house, except for 1 bedroom. For me it pulls double duty because I don't need to dust mop/sweep or use a dust pan! I can run my vaccum through out even get my baseboards then mop with w microfiber pads if It needs it. The canister detaches to get under the beds and furniture. And I can switch between hard floors or laminate options without turning off the vaccum. Its seamless. This is the one I have. The newest model now has a self cleaning roll! Wish I had known, but I stil love mine and was happy with the price.

@@samanthaaldridge2082 your so welcome, I know how that feels. I agonized over it for the longest time. Really researching before make a decision. But my yard sale score was the best! And side by side products reviews between shark and Dyson won me over:)
First off, you don't know their relationship so he could've done some cleaning off camera and just not really wanted to be filmed or something. He's not home all the time though as he's a military man and has been deployed 3 times now
unless the boys play with those toys in the bedroom, they need to go, the toys not the boys. no toy playing in the bedroom, it is to sleep in and get dressed in. Period.
Get more help .everyone lives there and makes the mess so its only right to get everyone to help ,give kids simple little jobs. Like rinse silverwear off n put in washer bin .and my husband works outside in hot florida sun all day a very laborious job .but when he gets home if i need help he makes homemade ice tea.and throws salad together and so forth whatever i need .picks up laundry if i have off day .he vacuums if i didnt get to do it early .. just worried about you. Your a great homemaker and mom dont burn yourself out .it creeps up on you .so just keep trying to find little jobs for them .to help .

What is your favorite room to clean? I like cleaning the kitchen.
Faith Through Arrows yes Claudia!
My favorite area to clean is the living room or my room. 😉
I like cleaning my room, I feel so relaxed when it’s made.

If kids can get it out, make them put it away. Think about systems you can put in place to properly use child labor😺
Ahhh! Before the decluttering there was cleaning. This was actually fun to watch and the music is prophetic!
At the beginning, I'm getting all this inspiration to clean. By the end of the video, I'm too exhausted from watching you, lol.
😂 me too!
proves she still has way way too much stuff.
@@txmom1122 This was before her declutter sgu she hadn't been on her minimalism journey or anything at this point
You make me want to clean my house. I think the living room is the easiest room to clean.
I love cleaning my kitchen too, and I love starting the morning with a clean kitchen and empty dishwasher.

Hi Marion! Thanks for watching. What tricks do you have to quick clean your bathroom since you do it daily?
I’m so tired after dinner, but I hate waking up to a messy house. I need a reset button! Lol
This is before major declutter, right? Video idea, cleaning motivation/clean with me now that you've downsized so much!
What a great example you’re providing for your children!
Beautiful home and I absolutely love your spacious yard, your kids must love it!! Great job getting so much done!! 💛
Always Audrey I love this yard. Didn’t feel like a lot but thanks for saying so!
How do you have so much energy at night, after dinner I just want to get boys showers and then TV time lights out at 9 PM then I'm done
I DO NOT usually. I am going on adrenaline. I am whooped!

My favorite room/area to clean would be kitchen.

I like cleaning my bathroom first....I don't know why but once I start with that I tend to follow through with the rest of the house xx
Fay that’s a good one to start with. I like to clean it before I shower so it’s all done.

I like my kitchen clean, but hate cleaning it. Love cleaning my bedroom. It is the easiest to clean. 😊
My bedroom is the hardest. It is a dumping ground lately and I need to change that habit.
You are a great Mother 😁. Housework does get OLD !
Try twisting the Camelbak mouth pieces. I always twist and pull and they pop right off!
Thanks for the great cleaning motivation! ❤️
Our Blessed Life thanks for watching
Erica I absolutely love you and watching your videos. You are such an inspiration to me BUT I want to shoot myself listening to this music! 😂
Oh my gosh. I almost lost it when you dumped the wine. 🤣
Use a dust pan and scoop up the legos. Boys can do it with little dust pan
I value a clean kitchen most, but the living room is easiest!
So much hard work done! Well done- you are very inspiring! [Rosemary, Brighton, UK]
I do a basket toy system too!

Oh man! Those Camelback straws are so hard to get out! 😫
Thank you for the cleaning motivation, I definitely needed it today!
I can’t pop them with my fingernails and using my mouth is so gross. But they get moldy inside if you don’t separate.
Use the handles of scissors or a small pair of pliers with grippy drawer liner on the metal teeth to protect the straw

Perfect cleaning new subie.. I have a channel too. I do cleaning video check me out
Hand dish washing is faster. Like it cause my nail is easy to cut.
you have way too much little items, like the stuff on the window sill in the kitchen. It needs to go, why is it there. do you need it.
