My husband’s grandmother called it blessing the kitchen, or bedroom, or whatever. Cleaning was not a chore but a way to bless your home. I try to look on it that way as much as I can.
I love this ❤! It is a blessing to be able to clean our own home and as you said not a chore.
Thats a really lovely way to look at housework.
I love that attitude. ❤ I also try to remember how grateful I feel to have my own kitchen as I clean it.
The flylady calls it a blessing too.
Monday is the home blessing hour in the flylady cleaning sistem and I didnt know that it was an old expression! How lovely😍
One tip I learned from an amazing book called ‘Organic Housekeeping’ is when you’re cleaning using a cloth, fill your sink or a bucket with hot water and add several cleaning cloths. As you use one, don’t rinse it in your clean water, rather set it aside. Take another clean cloth and continue cleaning. It uses less water overall and you’re never getting dirty the water you’re using in your bucket.
thank you - a good and simple tip but someone has to tell one 😊
That is brilliant! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for a very good advise!👍🏻🤗💖
What a good idea 👍🏻😊
I saw this hack used frequently by professional house cleaners to keep their water as clean as possible, and not to cross contaminate!
Emptying the toaster for the birds, that’s very mindful. I need to make a feeder like that. Enjoyed seeing what’s in your cupboards and how you run your kitchen. It’s nice, how you said, you’re” mindful about not hoarding but having just enough.” Loved seeing the different birds 🐦. Thanks for sharing.
I'm wondering about that, because all up to date advice is not to feed bread/breadcrumbs to birds, as it harms their digestive system.
Well, in the States, our bread us fortified (synthetic). The wheat is hybridized (bad for all creatures' digestion). Organic wheat is about 50% contaminated with hybridized wheat. So, I agree, that is bad for the birds (and people).
I thought that was a great idea too
Where I come from, a lot of women would put newspapers on top of their kitchen cupboards (and tall wardrobes or other tall pieces of furniture). No one sees them but they are great protection. My mum used to do this and I still do, especially in the kitchen where the dust they collect is harder to scrub (rather than just changing the newspapers when needed) due to the grease and steam caused by cooking.
I like this idea!
That's so smart!
I have been doing this for years and it does make the cleaning of those particular spaces a lot easier
Once I went to line the pantry with an old local newspaper and there was my daughters face in the paper from a school activity she was involved in. Needless to say I saved that page and didnt line the pantry with it.
great tip! thanks :)
Why is it so soothing to watch someone clean?
I always feel better watching someone else work 😀
Because its a therapy to reduce many mental disorders, including some major ones. I mostly use such humanistic therapies in my profession.
@@cherylwebb8340 hahahaha :))))
I just love how you even shut the doors of your cupboards slowly
With bulk spices, if you have to buy in large quantity but don't see yourself using them up in a year, especially with ground spices, Find a friend or neighbor or coworker, someone else who will cut the cost and you can share the spices between you. My friend and I do this quite a lot. We are both low waste sustainables in the area and we just got back from the store and splitting up our haul. She even gave me her recipe for Dill dumplings. Here is the recipe in USA measurements if anyone is interested. Knowledge is free and doesn't weigh a thing. ~ Fluffy Dill Dumplings ~
By my friend Darlene
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
1 Tablespoon dill weed
2/3 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons, oil
In medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add milk, egg & oil. Stir only until ingredients are moistened. Drop by teaspoonful on top of hot chicken soup. Cover tightly; simmer for 12 - 15 minutes or until dumplings are done underneath.
Enjoy!
Thank you…I love dill…I will do this..lovely..❤️🇬🇧
A small kitchen is better than larger kitchen in my view. It's size makes you prioritize only what you need. Especially with those old homes, they knew how to accommodate people who only lived by necessities so it's perfect for you. By the way...the expression "higgly piggly" was the cutest thing ive heard! 😄Have a good week dear. ❤🌷🐦🌞
Yes, if the design is well thought out, the kitchen need not be large. Adding more floor area does not add value to the kitchen. It only makes cleaning up more difficult.
the phrase is higgledy-piggledy :) its a 400 year old saying here in the british isles
What does it mean?
@@rubylace9963 it means things being all the over the place, in a disordered or chaotic way (but kind of in a cute, charming sense)
Most European kitchens are smaller, and yes, I think they are better than large kitchens. You hoard less stuff, and they are easier to clean. But I'm seeing a trend in the UK towards pulling down walls and creating huge open-plan kitchen-diner-living room areas. I'm old and can see the pitfalls with that - cooking smells everywhere, difficult to keep tidy and clean, and expensive to heat such a large area. I prefer smaller, cosier rooms, but heh ho :)
An audible sigh was heard from me when you took your toaster out to spread the crumbs for the birds. That's when I subscribed! You are a blessing to my ancestors' country. Blessed be.
Ah thanks so much for subscribing! It’s lovely to have you here xxx
I've never even thought of doing this, but I love this idea!
Here is a good tip I learned from my father. Unplug electrical appliances such as the toaster and coffee maker when not in use. Then there is no electrical current running in the appliance. It's been a habit throughout my life and a good lesson from my father that I practice in my own home.
Please know how much your videos are appreciated! I LOVE Fairyland Cottage. So calming. It's like an introvert recharge.
Niamh, I don't know if you're reading new comments anymore, but just in case, I wanted you to know that I watch this video every January because it inspires me to deep clean for the New Year, to slow down and do only that which I'm able, and to give thanks for our simple small home and the privilege of caring for it. Thank you, and God bless you and your family in 2024. xx
I think I’m a rare breed... I’m 57 and have never had a dishwasher. As a kid, my brothers and I had our dishwashing duties after dinner each day. I guess I got my training at an early age. Now we just do the dishes right away after each meal...if two people tackle the job, it’s over and done with in a matter of a few minutes. PS - love that term “hobb”... we don’t have that one here in 🇨🇦
I feel ya, I was raised washing dishes by hand ( not my favorite chore but its better clean than dirty). We bought a home, I’m 34 and I had the dishwasher taken out and we don’t have a microwave either. My friends think I’m a nut for sure 😄
@@LadyBeeSting2434 Well... we must be two like-minded nuts!! Thanks for sharing.
Our leak can't find a cheap plummer so do by hand, don't miss it
so obsessed with ur channel, its so peaceful and everything is done with such love, always a wonderful experiece! xx
Thanks Lilly!
I can smell the freshness and cleanliness all the way from New Jersey! Your cottage is so charming. ❤️
To have your own home what a lovely respite I myself have an apartment don't have a garden but I wonderful window light that gives me lots of pleasure for growing things in my mind
You could see if there's a community garden near you that you can join?
*Cleaning looks so calming and fun when you do it!* 💚 *I'll try to take that feeling into my next cleaning session*
Hehe really! I think it is how my husband edits! 🪴🌱
@@FairylandCottage haha! i laughed out loud!
I love the smell of a deep cleaned room and using essential oils prolongs that scent.
I jump for joy whenever I'm notified that a new video was uploaded. I adore Fairyland Cottage! 🥰
Ah thanks!!! 🥰❤️
Your videos are ones I look forward to every week!
Before you posted these videos on cleaning, I was really challenging myself to work on cleaning and decluttering as a form of self care, instead of a task to hurry and rush through. I put on an audio book or music and do each task as if it were an act of care. Your videos have been inspiration and encouragement to continue in this way. Thank you for creating such a positive space.
Cleaning the fridge is not something I enjoy, especially discovering science experiments ie forgotten leftovers. The kitchen, is the heart of my home and when clean and ordered, I rest in the peace. Even a grey day looks better when the window sparkles.
I love your last sentence.
“Science experiments”, yes, we all have been a Dr. Frankenstein at one time or another.
Thanks Nimah, you make home cleaning feel like a meditation...
I really love all your videos... They are so peaceful and makes you so full of joy and happiness... Lots of love from Sweden!
🤗💖🤗🇸🇪
We actually toast all our bread in a skillet, don’t even own a toaster, gives it a different flavor and saves all the little crumbles to clean up :)
I've heard of people using their oven but not a skillet. That is really interesting. Do you butter it or just use a dry pan?
@@wendyeskelin8765 I’ve done both buttered is more like grilled cheese texture but dry burns it a bit more the way a toaster would
I use scrunched up newspaper to clean windows. Spray them with water and vinegar and use the scrunched newspaper to dry and buff them. My Grandma and Mum did this. It really makes them sparkle! Love your videos Niamh. Thank you.😃
@Amanda , I recently bought some window cleaning cloths at Target - they weren't expensive. I LOVE them - they work like a dream, no streaks, no lint and then I toss them in the washer with my regular towels.
I lay newspapers on top cupboard. Put the whole news paper and each year when cleaning. You don’t have to clean , just lift off the top paper..leaving the rest for next time.
Love this idea! I suggested similar idea with old pillow case or sheet but yours is even easier!
I do the same... it works great.
Do you mean putting the newspaper inside the cupboards like shelf paper?
@@blahblah1438 I think she meant on top of the cupboards where grease and dust and whatever gather and become sticky. I do this as well.
@@NanaLine001 thank you
I am obsessed with this video, and love the comments section: everyone is caring and have good advice. Thank you 😌🙏🏻
Thank you for this lovely video! You have a gift for making the most mundane chores look beautiful and refreshing :) Your kitchen is charming, it is quite small (mine is even smaller) and simple but so pleasant and functional, and I love that you never complain about anything, instead you appreciat everything what you have and this is very inspiring and uplifting :)
Good morning 💕
My daughter in law cleans my house once a week. We use vinegar and water baking soda/lime and sometimes alcohol. We had new windows made that open inward so its sooooooo much easier to keep them clean.
I only keep out a small bottle of olive oil, salt pepper, and a covered butter tray. My cookbook holder recipe box and candles ( we loose power often )
I was trained when cooking to pre measure all ingredients first.
So dont need everything if front of me all the time. I have a bench in front of the pantry for prep. Then roll it over to the stove/oven
It's so windy and dusty here so i refuse open shelving. I do put on the wall my most used cooking cutlery and spices. I cook for 15 most days so i need tons of plates,cups and cutlery! 😏
I save foods in pyrex glass containers. It can store or cook and skip dirtying a pan. I hate the oder of plastic.
Well only the floor left to install and I will be moving to the castle ! Squeeeeeeeee!
My goodness! I've NEVER thought of emptying the toaster outside for the birds! What a great idea.
I love how you empty the toaster for the birds. Did you make the "feeder"
It is a fantastic idea! I never thought of that!
Oh yes! What a wonderful idea!!
Same same! Definitely going to put something on the back deck to empty it into! 💗🕊
Brilliant idea re: the toaster crumbs for the birds! I shall now do that. Thank you.
My tip is to do the most unpleasant, messy tasks first. Then you are free to focus on the more fun, satisfying activities. 👍😘
Inspirational as always. Why is it so gratifying to watch someone else clean? Lucky birds in your yard ☺️
I completely adore your kitchen! That is the cutest kitchen I’ve ever seen! I live in a rather large home ...but before living here all of my previous homes were small and I much prefer it! I find smaller spaces much cozier and more fun to decorate. I love everything about your beautiful, adorable cottage!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how the birds came to eat the toast crumbs! So sweet!
My favorite video of the year, just what I needed this Sunday morning to get me into the vortex and floating down stream 🙏🏾
It's interesting that watching you clean could be so soothing. What a sweet and cosy kitchen. And I love the way the birds relished the crumbs from your toaster.
I loved the tip of emptying the toaster crumbs out for the birds! I never thought of doing that!
Love the feeding of the birds with toaster crumbs. Very original.
We bought a new oven just before Christmas, and thanks to you, I now know how to take out that glass and clean it. Thank you Niamh.
All your videos are huge inspirations.
But what really excited me (I've never seen anyone do it)
Toaster crumbs for birdies !
I love birds dearly. And if you feed them , they come to rely on you.
Then a shot of the bird eating ? Almost made me cry.💕🐦
Love your videos and your approach to health, wellness and sustainability!
I get so caught up with the hustle and bustle of daily life lately I find myself going for whatever is convenient. This is often not very sustainable and usually more expensive.
Your videos are always a nice reminder to slow down and be intentional with my time and resources. ♡
Can’t wait to get started tomorrow!! Day off work and no one is home so it’s a perfect time. I’m totally going to try the soda and lemon on the oven!!! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for the reminders to use what I already have (& that smells waaaay better)!
Using your previous year's calendar to line your cupboards is brilliant! Love that recycling idea.
One of my favorite parts of your videos is when you show the little birds. I’ve grown up watching birds and appreciating them and learning their names and songs. When you see the same birds everyday, throughout your life, it’s easy to forget that there are others you’ve never seen before; ones that you don’t know the names of. When I see your little birds, I always go, wow what is that? Oh my, how pretty! Little, little bird that I’ve never seen before! You’ve probably seen them your whole life and it’s nothing new, but I really love seeing them, as they are not a species where I live. ❤️
I remember Kash and Karry we had one back in the day in Florida. Had no idea they expanded out that far. How neat ☺ your kitchen is actually bigger then mines lol 😍😍😍
I love your videos. They are so relaxing and I love the way you film. Putting the toaster crumbs out for the birds is such a nice idea. I can’t believe I never thought of this.
I love giving my kitchen a good clean every week keeps the kitchen smelling fresh an not cluttered. I too use baking soda to clean my kitchen does a wonderful job left longer on certain things. Thanks Niamh for another wonderful vlog from you. Enjoy the week ahead. 👍🏡❤️
You always inspire me so much, Niamh! I have used similar natural products to you for years now, but I do often clean around things! Kitchen, here I come.
What a lovely idea to shake out the toaster outside so the birdies can have the crumbs! I’m definitely doing this from now on.😊
This is perfect timing, because I had planned to deep clean the kitchen this week! Thank you for the inspiration and stay well! XO
What a beautiful treat to see your rich home life.
No matter what you do, your videos are so calming and peaceful! I truly enjoy every one of them! Thank You!😊
Oh my gosh! I just cleaned my toaster crumbs this morning right before I watched your video, what a GREAT idea to feed the birds. I new I should have watched your video first. I wanted to do something productive first so I could enjoy your video guilt free😊. The birds will get the extra treat next time. I love your videos, thank you. You have a very calming voice. If I don’t have a chance to watch your newest video I LISTEN to it while I’m driving to work.
Have a blessed day.
Cleaning around things works for everyday cleaning and in-between deep cleans - my mother always said "a lick and a promise" in reference to light cleaning when I was growing up. I asked her once what she meant by that, and she commented that it was a promise to return at another time to clean more thoroughly - if one let the mess and grime build up, it becomes a self-fulfilling obstacle in that the mess after a while seems overwhelming and one would just not bother for much longer than one should. If only I had listened to my mother more when I was younger...
I love my small kitchen. So much easier to keep clean. I only keep the items I use often, and same with ingredients. Love the calendar idea-I’ll be adapting that one😊
the birds!! what a lovely bonus!
I loved watching the birds eating your toast crumbs. Amazing how our waste is their feast! X
Always get a smile out of your birds...and I'll have to give them my toast crumbs too! Cute, efficient kitchen, and there's nothing like the fresh clean scent afterwards. Blessings on your kitchen and all your tasty meals! 😋
Always look forward to these videos - its so relaxing and joyful to see and learn how to make your own products, getting back to basics, like our grandparents used to do it,
making things out of very little is refreshing.
Hi Niamh, thank you for the videos! They're so addictive. My granny used to use outer husk of coconut as a natural scrubber for dishes!
I use your cleaning tips, they're in budget and eco friendly!
always a pleasure to watch your videos! I am trying really hard to be more sustainable. we throw so much stuff away! I am trying to more mindful and not use as much paper products that I have in the past. I am very guilty of using paper plates so that I don't have to wash as many dishes! I love using vinegar and water as well as baking soda as much as possible! my 3 go to's! thanks for sharing! xoxo
Very nice. It's actually calming and rewarding to watch someone clean their kitchen..lol. I like the non toxic cleaners. It must smell so nice and clean with the lemon juice. Well done...thank you.
You have definitely inspired me to deep clean the kitchen! With gratitude!
That was really inspiring thank you. This is exactly what I need to do as my kitchen has got into a mess and was feeling a bit overwhelming.
Loved this video! Peaceful and relaxing. I don’t always take everything off counters every time I clean but, will give deep clean when needed. Feels good to have things clean and organized.
The kitchen is next on my agenda. You have inspired me again. So calming while get me excited to get started. Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous video! It is all about using what you have and I loved what you said about giving thanks to your kitchen for all of the meals it helps you make.
I love your cleaning videos. My refrigerator is on my list to clean today but I thought I’d watch your video first. ☺️ I’m guilty of cleaning around everything on my counter top too. Thank you for such an inspirational video. Have a wonderful day. 💗
My kitchen is a disaster right now!! Seeing your clean beautiful kitchen was inspiring. That's a really good idea about the using the old calendars & emptying the toaster for the birds!! Makes me want to be even more mindful of other wastes!! 🧽😊💖
You inspire me every Sunday Niamh😊 a friend gave me a tip, to use and old roll of wallpaper on the top of kitchen presses, cut in long strips, using the old calender is good idea😊 thanks again for your videos.
Hand over heart dear Niamh. Thank you for this. You make cleaning an act of prayer.
My heart stopped when you emptied the toaster for the birds. Omg, I will now forever do this.
An adorable space with old world charm. I love it! ❤️
I love how even though you have to keep things out on the counters, it still looks tidy and beautiful.
What I have started doing is laying a sheet of wax paper along the very top of the cabinets next to the ceiling and that keeps the top dust free. Once a year just fold up the wax paper and replace. It is really easy to keeps the top of the cabinets clean this way. Btw. Cleaning the fridge is my least favorite chore as well. I will put it off longer than I should. Love your videos! I find them relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for what you do.
Very inspiring and you make the whole effort seem so soothing, thank you for sharing and I love the clips of birds feeding on the crumbs. 🙏🏼
Beautiful video. I just did a whole-house-sweep and got rid of everything I no longer need (thanks to the documentary "The Minimalists") and WOW it feels so much better in here! Next, the deep clean using baking soda and lemon juice. Thanks for the inspiration!-
This was wonderful! I cleaned along you, after 3 days of toying with the idea to just burn down my mess of a kitchen. My latest baking extravaganza definitely left it in a state 😅 I loved the idea with the calendar sheets - I always have so many crumbs and stuff in my cupboards. Would definitely enjoy to clean with you again, if you are planning on doing a big spring cleaning hehe
I loved your kitchen cleaning video! I don't know why it's so soothing and fun to watch someone else clean their kitchen - lol. You did an amazing job and I love your little space. I have triple the amount of cupboards (which I thought I would love), but having a family of 4, they fill up with junk so so easily! I usually tackle cleaning out the cupboards once a year...but, it takes days and days. You definitely inspired me to clean out my refrigerator. I think I'm going to wait until my son leaves for college this summer to do a thorough job because most of the condiments in there are his and take up 1/2 the space - lol. Thank you so much for sharing! :D xoxo
My kitchen could use a clean so I'm happy for these tips ❤️
I love your precious little kitchen. It’s so organized and everything has a place. No waste. 😊
As always, a beautiful video. Hoping that you are staying safe these days and that you are mentally doing well. It’s been a rough time for us all. Your videos are a source of comfort and a much welcomed escape from what is going on in the world. Can’t wait for your next video. Thank you for creating these.
Love the peace you create xx
Now I’m ready to clean my kitchen! I actually just received the Vitruvi diffuser I ordered, today in the mail, and right before you showed yours I was thinking I bet YOU would appreciate how nice it is. It’s so strange when you think thoughts and then something regarding that very thought happens. I diffused ylang ylang today 😃
Your videos are so comforting to my soul.Thank you for the baking soda and lime juice tip :) I have been leaning towards simple,minimal and toxin free house cleaning home made products so this is really going to be helpful :)
Pretty much I have and do the same things as you - even shaking the toaster outside! I love your bird table.
Great minds think alike!
Such a beautiful and homely kitchen, your home has so much character. Always a pleasure watching your videos 💛
Im finding this to be like a ASMR....sooo relaxed right now
Ugh... I need to clean my fridge. I washed out one drawer the other day from a spill, but now it’s really past time to do the whole thing. Enjoy your clean kitchen Niamh!
I don't know if I can get motivated to clean my whole kitchen (maybe I'll do it in stages), but I'm definitely going to use your tips for cleaning the oven. It's long overdue! Thanks for another great video!
It's nice to see that someone in the world is also having a tiny kitchen same as me.....I will now keep some plants to make my kitchen look cozy and happy as yours. Watching your videos brings happiness and peace. Wishing you many more wonderful days!! 🙏🏻
It touched me to show appreciation to my kitchen in kleening it. It's such a lovely and practical attitude.
Mind blown on toaster idea! Will definitely start feeding my neighborhood birds with it.
Great ideas with the calendar sheets and the toaster crumbs.
Only you can make such a relaxing video about cleaning, thank you
I like to start my spring cleaning in January. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
I absolutely adore your beautiful home.
We live in a small 800 sq foot home, too.
It's cozy and perfect.
Did anyone ever tell you that your voice is so soothing?
My husband is a Newfoundlander, and I can definately hear his Irish roots in your accent.
Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦... Keli 💖
I never thought of shaking out my toaster outside. I love this idea so much 💜
