*hey!! I just want to say thank you for being a part of this community. I’ve been on RUclips for 7 years, and yall have no idea how thankful I am for you & the incredible love & support I have felt over the years! You’re the best! 🤎 and thank you so much for coming to spend some time with me today - I hope you feel motivated through this video & although my mind has felt like a mess lately, I do feel like the next few weeks will be good (lots of time with the boys while they go on winter break!) and the new year always has such a positive energy around it! Do you have any fun holiday or new year plans?!*
@@ThisCrazyLife Hey 👋 ohhh of course I appreciate you sharing you life to us ! You spread such a joyful noise to the world. And thank you for the inspiration you provide visually in your home and just the whole vibe of prioritizing Family, your healing , health … and the love .. God bless you ! Love your dedication! Stay strong mama!
@@ThisCrazyLife I am also going through a tough season in my life, my whole family is going through a rough patch, but I will say my faith has keep me in place of peace and hope and I’m so Thankful… rejoicing in the lord. And he does work all things for our Good 😊 Romans 8:28
I am 100000% a morning person… I wake up between 3am and 4am and make coffee and relax for an hour and watch some RUclips… after that hour I get dressed for the day and start a load of laundry… it gets busy at 650am when my kids get ready for school… high school… once they are off to school it’s time to grab any dirty laundry from their rooms and make their bed…. And I do house work till about 2pm and then prep dinner…. Etc
Oh Amanda, I think I can speak for everyone here, we love you and your family, you truly are the light. I’m a morning person for sure, I’m usually in bed by 8 every night and try to get at least 8-9 hours every night. You do whatever makes you happy. My Mom has been gone since 2011 and boy do I miss her terribly. Cherish every moment with her. Love you. Dorene Weiss🥰🥰
What a Bittersweet month. Christmas and my daughter's birthday. This will be our second Christmas and birthday without her. I have decided to pick a name from one of the local giving trees and give Christmas to someone in her name. Despite her problems and depression, she had a loving, giving soul. I believe this will be fitting. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Practice gratitude and your days will be better better for it.
I’ve tried to reply three different times and still left without any good reply😢 just so sorry 😔 parents should never go through this, never, so sorry😔😢😔
Sending you SO much love sweet friend!! I think of you often & include you in my prayers! I love that idea of passing on something so amazing in her name to celebrate her! 🤍🤍🤍
As I read this, I had to.stop. and wonder. Recall if I had written something here. We just lost our daughter and this will be our first Christmas and her Dec 19 bday without her. She lost her desire to stay feb212024. I. My husband and I are struggling. I just wanted to thank you for finding the courage to share this. And to thank you for helping me ....last few days have been hard. Thank you. From my heart.
9 months postpartum here. my hubby is deployed, so I definitely struggle feeling alone sometimes and the weight of parenting my little alone gets heavy. so happy I found your channel. I'm actually up super late right now watching this 😊 going on 1 am
@ashleyelizabeth9953 Thank your husband for his service, and thank you too. It must be hard for you and your baby without him. I pray for your family and hope you find a community of friends in this time of need.
Hey Amanda! Long time viewer, first time commenter. I stumbled on your videos years ago (has it been 7?!) through cleaning and homemaking inspiration, and just love your personality and attitude. I also admire your courage to be honest with the "real life" moments that actually all of us do have. It feels so cozy to be part of your youtube family! 🥰 I just wanted to comment here that sometimes life really throws us a curveball, and sometimes it's a few at once, which can really feel like a test! We have the strength to overcome more than we know, and I absolutely know that is true for you because of what I've seen you capable of these past few years! You are incredibly strong, and a wonderful person!! Just look at what you have built here as an example. You taking care of your health is another example- that is hard! I hope whatever you're going through doesn't shake you too hard, and I am 1000% certain you can overcome it, and come out even stronger on the other side. Know that you're loved and supported! Thank you for sharing yourself and your life with us! It feels like I have an internet bestie 💙 Hoping you and your family have lovely winter holidays! Love from Canada!❄
@@thekatattack hey!! I am so thankful for your sweet comment today. I know that took you a bit to write, but I’m crying as I read it & all the love I can feel from you! Thank you so much for your sweet words today! I needed them more than you know 🤎 it’s always a little uncomfortable to be vulnerable & share that life isn’t always so perfect or ideal, but in the end, that’s really what life is full of - ups & downs & we all have them. And we all truly need each other & im just so thankful for the sweet support & love you shared with me today! I hope you have an incredible rest of the day!! (Try to stay warm!!) 🤎🤎🤎
Amanda, you looked so sad at the beginning! I truly wish things improve for you in the new year. I love your videos and have been following you for a long time. We all put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect, have perfect homes and at the end of the day these things don't matter! Love yourself and your family that's what's important. You have had a very busy hard working year, you deserve a break. Take one! ❤
I truly appreciate you showing how late you stay up to clean this night. I have alot of nights where im cleaning just as late and i almost feel guilty, but seeing you go through the same thing makes me feel not alone. I know its not the healthiest most normal thing to do but sometimes it just happens. Thank you ❤
I lost my mom three weeks ago today. I have insomnia and your after dark videos always give me such a peaceful feeling. I am so glad you had extra time with your mom...treasure every minute, because time flies way to fast. I was a primary caregiver until my mom had to go into a Care Center, and after that, visited her almost every day, and was blessed to be with her to say goodbye when she took her final breath. One thing I have learned is, when going through the rough stuff - and it applies no matter what that rough stuff might be - don't focus on "should haves" and "could haves". Focus on the good things, the things that went right, and the things that brought you and your loved ones joy. Lately everyone seems to be talking about living in the moment - and that is such a good thing to do. Find beauty and joy in the little things that bless your life every day. Look for them and celebrate them. Be thankful. One of the things I am thankful for tonight is your video, and the time to relax, be thankful, and just breathe.
my positive spin on life is to watch inspiring videos like yours and take motivation from them. Since I found you I feel like there's been more organisation and house motivation going on here, so thanks Amanda. x
Love, love, love these videos Amanda! Always relaxes me. Thank you for this. I must say, I do miss when you would show more of your dishes being washed. It was always calming and satisfying.
Oh hope all is well Amanda, we all have disaster so its ok, hope things look up for you. We all appreciate your channel and how you motivate us all the time. Been watching your channel fir a long time and i deel your a awesome caring person and has the biggest heart for others.We are here for you, I care about you and think your wonderful.Big hug from me hope you feel better soon.❤
Thanks for sharing real life. I struggle with extreme anxiety and panic attacks, and a dirty house does not help. On the other hand I get analysis paralysis. As you can see the 2 things do not go together. Seeing that my house is not the only one untidy helps my brain function and that I'm not alone. May you enjoy the holidays and start fresh in 2025❤
I love getting up before the sun and much of the neighborhood, so that I don't feel like I waste any daylight. It's a quiet, peaceful time for me...much like late night is for you. Because I feel best with 9 hours of sleep/rest, that prevents me from staying up very late. Thanks for your lovely videos!
Peaceful at night for sure! Enjoy that now cause they grow up so quick! I belive mine went from 3 to 20s in seconds...Christmas is my favorite always has been ...lost my momma couple years ago to covid !! (cherish ya momma) Have a great week Amanda😊
It is so nice that you got to spend an extra week with your mom!! I miss mine so much…it is especially hard this time of year. Treasure the time you have with your mom now!!🥰
Sending you calm, serenity, love, motivation, hope, and alllll the good vibes ❤ I don’t have anything major going on but have felt so anxious lately can’t sleep extremely overwhelmed where I can’t find motivation to do much - very different than how I usually feel. So I’m hoping things get better for you soon friend - truly ❤❤❤❤❤
Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a Future 🙏✨💖
Amanda, hi, I'm at night person also since I retired. I your videos. They are so uplifting, and it seems like you're timing with your videos.Come just at the right time for my life. I love watching you and I can relate to a lot of what you say even though I'm a lot older than you. I love your dishwasher. It's so big. I would think you'd have a lot more dishes to put in there with your big family. I'm sorry that you're going through something personal. I'm going through some health issues. I just want to let you know that i'm so blessed that I found your videos. They have made a difference in my life. Thank you, and have a blessed Christmas 🎄 ❤😊🎉🎁🎄
Not only do you seem like an incredibly nice and genuine person, you are also an amazing content creator! Your editing, choice of music, timing in the voiceovers, your creativity, it is SO inspiring to me. I hope you will have the best christmas and that 2025 will be awesome! ❤
I am a nite owl person too. I am So glad to see I am not alone. Love your videos. They are so inspiring. Just remember my motto is Don't let anyone anything Steal your Joy.
100% a night owl! I worked midnight shift for years and I doubt that I could be a morning person, I even waited till this evening to watch. You picked such pretty music 🎶 ❤
I wish I could late night clean but my husband doesn't like the bedroom door closed while sleeping. I have gotten up a few times to go and pick up in an area that I know needs my attention. I know life happens and I have learned to go with the flow and get things done when I can. I was so happy to hear you have had your mom and sisters visit. Tis the season for that. I am just planning week to week for family gatherings. I love this time of year it was my mother's favorite time and I feel her with me. Whatever you want to share with us helps me so much. The motivation, the cleaning tips ,and definitely the recipes. My cleaning fairies have been working some but as we know they celebrate like we do. Thank you Amanda for being here for all of us and sharing your family with us. Enjoy the holidays and my God bless all of you. Till next time.😊
Amanda please know that I love watching your videos because you are real and you are one of the best motivators that I watch. Thanks for sharing and yes I am claiming 2025 as my year
I stopped just now at 14:33 to pray for you! Thank you so much for asking US to share encouragement with YOU! You so often uplift us and sometimes we need the opportunity to give that back to you. I also wanted to share a song that has blessed me so often, it’s a well known church hymn but I like the version by Jadon Lavik - “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” Whatever is going on, He is always right next to you, and loves you more than you could ever imagine. ❤
This is my first time watching your videos within 3 months, life has been very busy, I’m happy I’m starting fresh with this recommended video. The background music while you were cleaning the sink actually got me emotional, haha I’m feeling a little better shedding a tear. I love you & your family. I will start watching ya videos more consistently knowing I got all those notifications on☺️☺️☺️
I always think it could be worse. I start counting my blessings. This too shall pass. And It will work out. Those are my go to's for a pick me up. Hope it helps.
I’m feeling I needed this more than I realized! Thanks for being willing to share your house when it’s not perfect. I so believe that it can help others, myself included, get the motivation needed to work on areas within our own homes.
Thank you for showing the real side of life, it's more personable and relatable. Life can be more challenging at certain times of the year and can really be demanding on the mind, body and soul. I too am a night owl, it's my time to decompress from all the events of the day. I find if I break down a task or two at night in 10 to 15 minute bouts, it helps me keep a few more things in order. Sometimes we're just not feeling it and that's ok...stay strong and take care of yourself.
I'm so happy you were able to spend extra time with your mom. Sounds like the Universe knew you needed it. I'm so sorry things have been hectic. I think a lot of us are feeling that this year. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your messy house! It's such a relief to have others in your same boat!
🎉I can’t wait to start a new year soon 😊 hopefully everything will be ok and remember that you are strong, no matter what happens ❤ happy new year and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Long time viewer and subscribed. Love to spend my Saturday mornings and cleaning days listening to your voiceovers and calming presence. I am sorry it seems like you are going through it. This is a hard time for me too with my entire family in heaven and mom in memory care. We will get through. I love your devotion to your mom. Beautiful. My prayers are with you. You are always such a bright light and such a giving person ! Hang in there ❤
Amanda, you’re wonderful. Your home is beautiful, it’s full of life and love, I know, it’s overwhelming sometimes, mine too. No reasons or excuses needed, it’s just life! I also am a night owl through and through lol
Amanda I’m so glad that you were able to spend so much time with your sweet mom. I’m sure you didn’t mind her plane turning around. 😊 I hope you are able to enjoy Christmas break with the boys. ❤️
Hi Amanda! I've been watching your videos for years and you always have such good advice for us. I'm sorry you're going through it right now but recently I was talking to a neighbor and she's had a bunch of 'life' hitting her from all ways and she said her favorite saying is 'This too shall pass.' It's amazing how we get so caught up in life we don't realize the calm until we're in the storm. Hang in there and know you have many many adoring followers and whatever it is you are going through... this too shall pass! ❤🙏
Thanks for sharing real life Amanda people don’t know what families are going through,your home is beautiful and very inviting I’m sure your mum loved the guest bedroom with the new doors.❤god bless you and your sweet family.😊
@@kimberley1195 it’s so true… we should really always be so kind to others, because what may look beautiful to those on the outside, might feel like a storm on the inside 🤍 and yesss! She loved the new bedroom!
We must be related!!! 😂. I’ve never slept many hours a night since having children long ago. Teaching school I tried to get 5 hrs a nite. Now as an old retired teacher, I stay up until 4:00-6:00, then cat nap during the day. I plan all appts in the afternoon because I cannot DO mornings at all. I wash clothes lots late at night. Living alone I don’t have things out of place or dishes in sink, but I do have laundry. Love your videos.
Merry Christmas Amanda. This was so relaxing i plan to watch ot again tonight! I have been a fan since you started your channel. When i retired from many years of working, i realized i didnt know how to keep house. My job required me to travel a whole lot and mostly overseas in to developing countries. So i hired help. It was time to learn how to keep a house. I knew the individual tasks, vaccume, laundry, dusting, etc. But didn't know how to put them to gather to keep home under control. Thanks to you and 3 or 4 other women on youtube, it's much less scarey than i imagined. There is so much more to this nutty story, but you were constant and sane. A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your wonderful family. A follower and a friend, Judy 🎄
Ohh Amamda, I hope everyone is doing well, sorry to hear things haven’t been going smoothly for you. I’ve had an extremely rough month myself as my mama went to hospital and now in a rehab facility for past 4 weeks 😢 I’m spending every minute I can every day to be with her along with working full time and it’s definitely taking a toll. your sweet words about your mom hit home! ❤❤ so precious ❤❤ TY
🎉Hey Amanda. It's nice to see you back on the vlog. Spending time with your Mom creates those memories that feed the soul and having her there an extra week bc of her flight was meant to be. I truly believe that. I'm sorry to hear you have some personal things going on. I hope you can feel the positive energy and prayers I'm sending your way. Christmas is my favorite time of year but feeling a bit of the holiday blues these last few weeks. Comes and goes. I find myself going for long walks even during these cold days. A walk always clears my head and gives me some peace. Deep cleaning my home helps too. Your after dark cleaning video was just what I needed. I am a morning person. I wake up early for work and so it's no different any other day. I feel at my best in the morning. Hope you have a great week Friend 🙏🏼❤️🤗
@@jos-1994 hey friend!! Thank you so much! And I believe her plane change was meant to be for sure!! I hope you can enjoy the rest of the week… maybe find one thing you enjoy and do that for yourself tomorrow! And just take some time to really sit with it and feel the happiness it gives you! 🤍🤍🤍
@ThisCrazyLife indeed my Friend! So glad you spent that extra time with her! And thank you for the advice! I hadn't thought to do that.....tomorrow it is! 🤎🙏🏼
Thank you for this video; I’m having a really hard holiday season this year amidst grief and mental health struggles. You’re always so kind and feel like I’m talking to a close friend ❤❤
Hi Amanda. I have been watching your vlog for a long time, you have a fantastic energy! I live in Hungary, we don't have houses of this size. I would never think of cleaning at night, for me it is the time to calm down, meditate, read and sleep. The body also needs it to recharge. But you know exactly that. I keep order in such a way that when I enter a room, I always have something in my hand that I put in its place. This has worked for me, I don't let the objects tower. 2) I only buy what I need. I won't buy the 40th pillowcase, mug and the like, if you understand...(I saw your selection, it was a good idea) 3) you have to get the children to help you too. We in Hungary are already very excited, this is our last working week and we are really looking forward to the holidays. I wish the whole family a blessed, peaceful Christmas.🎄✨🎁🎇🎄
Hi Amanda! I’m glad that you got a lot of quality family time, that is so important! I am definitely a night owl but I like waking up early on the weekends to get my errands done before it gets too crowded. Hope you are having a good start of your week!
So happy to see you back. When life throws us a whammy sometimes we need to concentrate on that whammy. Know that we will always be here for you through it all. I love your channel bc you ACTUALLY show the real life moments that we all have 💜💙💚💛🧡
Amanda, whatever is going on in life, remember, it’s temporary. God has more in store and during these times, He got you! Just lean into Him! His favorite sound is His children calling on Him! Praying life gets nicer and your Christmas is the merriest of times with your precious family!
I just love you and your channel! Yesterday had plans with a friend….i got up showered and then just snuggled in pj’s until I needed to get dressed. My house was a mess (I blame the cats, 😅). I’m barely dressed and was working on a computer project…and my friend shows up an hour early😳. I knew we were true friends when I felt no shame her seeing my house like that and she totally didn’t care. I feel like that when I come to your channel, it may be beautifully put together or needing cleaning like today and you invite us in. You treat us like we are truly friends. Just know there are friends out here pulling you in for a hug, and lending an ear, and there is a living true God who is drawing you in to Him too. Though hard, may your troubles bring you closer to the import things in life. I loved that you got an extra week with your mom!
I always smile when your videos pop-up. I truly appreciate you. I get anxious when I feel my space isn't organized as well, so thanks for reminding me that I'm not alone. I recently moved and this video helped me unpack a couple suitcases. You have a beautiful home and family. Lovely videos are provided to us regularly. You work so hard to be all the things❤ We appreciate these videos🎉
I'm so glad you share real life with us because life is messy sometimes but we have to be real about life and know that we are one person with lots to do but we can do it give yourself grace and never put yourself down or feel like you are a failure because we don't have all done because we are not a failure we are human
Veronicam.. thank you. .I need that reminder. It is one of my favorite scripture. I have been feeling extremely alone in a situation I'm going through. The only thing that has gotten me through is the Lord.
Hello from France, I'm sorry to hear you're going through a lot right now. A few things that help me : you're not alone, you've survived 100% of the hard things you've through so far and this too shall pass. I really hope the clouds will fade away soon. 🙂
Nightowl :) And yes I have also clean late at night. But I do live in apartment so I need to be mindful of then I do things. I do often will go to bed around midnight.
So nice that your Mom and other members of your family came for a visit and that you were able to spend quality time together ❤ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your whole family 🌲
Glad to see you back. I was a little worried about you, but I know this time of year. Such a busy time for families. Praying you are okay, take some time for yourself. I love in the mornings early in the morning to just have devotions. With just my Bible and God so praying that you’ll have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Love your after dark videos cause I am a night person and I also clean at night when everyone else is sleep. I have actually done it for so long it doesn't wake my kids or husband
I'm an early bird, myself and generally I'm getting up around the time you're going to bed between 3 and 4 AM. As you were filming the "chaos" of your home, I kind of had to chuckle. My life took a complete upheaval in the last 9 days. I had to pack up literally everything I own and move from Arizona to another country. The home I moved to looked good in the pictures but upon inspection in real life it needs a ton of work and all of the boxes from the move (all 60 of them) are in every spare corner of every room! There are no corners to be spared. lol. So in comparison, your house is tidy and livable. I've been in complete homesickness and not able to adjust to the change so much so that it takes every bit of energy I have to go through even one box and unpack it. I'm sleeping in the middle of most days and crying the rest of them. It'll get better in time...but I miss Arizona with every fiber of my being. Your video brought me a little semblance of home; thank you for that.
I haven't even decorated yet! Even in our small space of our 5th wheel I am having a hard time motivating myself. Granted I was doing crafts for a holiday market, but now that I'm done with that I have much to do! Your motivation video might just do the trick! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄
Wow your hair grows so fast ❤ love this kind of videos so much!! I am a night person but... I dont function well when I dont sleep 7- 8 hours.. thats a problem, especially with 2 kids😂
Something that helps me during rough times is giving myself grace, the same grace and love I would extend to my sister or friend but allowing to feel it for myself. Even when you can’t see it, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise it’s there. Be kind to yourself. Thank you for inspiring me over the years, kind of crazy how two strangers can connect through videos but just know this stranger here sees you, appreciates you, is praying for you and believes in you. 🩵
I hope everything is okay 💕 we are also in a hard season right now and keep saying we feel like life is just raining on us but I keep looking to the future and know life will calm down again and I can’t wait for it lol. I hope things calm for you soon too ❤
Ugh… when it rains it pours… one good thing, is when it stops raining, the sun will come out - and you’ll be able to find a new appreciation for its light & warmth. Sending you so much love!
Hi Amanda sending prayers you are feeling better. I enjoyed your video I used to be a night owl but after retiring I find myself up very early In the morning I get a lot done before my husband is up for the day. We are both retired. Merry Christmas 🎄
So happy to see you! Thank you, I needed motivation today!! The holidays always add that extra stress, however it also feels exciting to see everyone during the holidays. I do hope all is well with you and the family! Merry Christmas!! 😍
Yes, just noticed it’s 3:20!!! Happy coming new year🎉🥳🎊 P.S. gratitude 🙏 think about 3 things you are grateful of every single day. Make it your habit no matter how hard day was. Gratitude 🙏
I feel like I'm trying to keep my head above water. Like I'm treading water and slipping and reaching up with my hands to grab something. 🎉🎉 I always think of the new year as a reset too. I just can't seem to get motivated either. I just don't want to. Ugh. Hope you feel everyone's love and that your burden is lifted.
I started watching you since 2021 when you wear moving & I was moving around the same time as you were, I never seen you sad but I wish you the best love from Canada 🍁 ❤❤
I admit it did help me to see it happens to all of us. I work a 3 days a week and it is an extremely long day , stressful job in dialysis. I am always so tired I don’t feel like cleaning. Thing get behind. So thank you for being willing to share❤
I just had to laugh when you said your house was such a mess because I just came from Feral Tradwife! So glad your video is real life and that you were able to spend so much time with your mom. 🎉 My husband worked graveyard shift for most of the 20+ years we were married. I was terrible about staying up too late whether he was at work or at home up with me. Although he's been gone for two years, I still catching myself staying up too late ... Like now, it's almost midnight! The first weekend in December I spent in Chicago with one of my long time friends. We went to the Christmas Market and her daughter's college violin concert. Lots of good food, swimming at the hotel pool and chats. It was lots of fun, but also a kick in the pants about some things I need to be working on.
Hi Amanda I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time with your mum, if I can't sleep I usually go down stairs and start cleaning my kitchen and living room bearing in mind I have a big kitchen I was cleaning it and one of my daughters thought someone had broken in 😂😂😂Annmarie UK 🇬🇧 🎉🎉
Omg, you’re just like I was. Picking up after 6 kids (5 actually my husband the 6th). Everything was just left, dumped wherever they were. Dishes piled, no dishwasher. Gotta start getting them involved in picking up their own things. Dinner…about 10 years of age, responsible for the dish, bowl cup, whatever they each used. Complaints? Wanna do pots? Nope. So, it worked! They won’t remember when they grow up. It’ll just show in their actions. You’ll be pleased. And actually get to sleep. ❤
Amanda! I am a morning person and run out of steam as the day goes on. I have always looked forward to early bedtime and that's what I do. I say, accept your rhythm. Just make sure you get a good nights. I pray things will settle down for you real soon.
*hey!! I just want to say thank you for being a part of this community.

9 months postpartum here. my hubby is deployed, so I definitely struggle feeling alone sometimes and the weight of parenting my little alone gets heavy. so happy I found your channel. I'm actually up super late right now watching this 😊 going on 1 am
@ashleyelizabeth9953 Thank your husband for his service, and thank you too. It must be hard for you and your baby without him. I pray for your family and hope you find a community of friends in this time of need.
Hey Amanda! Long time viewer, first time commenter. I stumbled on your videos years ago (has it been 7?!) through cleaning and homemaking inspiration, and just love your personality and attitude. I also admire your courage to be honest with the "real life" moments that actually all of us do have. It feels so cozy to be part of your youtube family! 🥰 I just wanted to comment here that sometimes life really throws us a curveball, and sometimes it's a few at once, which can really feel like a test! We have the strength to overcome more than we know, and I absolutely know that is true for you because of what I've seen you capable of these past few years! You are incredibly strong, and a wonderful person!! Just look at what you have built here as an example. You taking care of your health is another example- that is hard! I hope whatever you're going through doesn't shake you too hard, and I am 1000% certain you can overcome it, and come out even stronger on the other side. Know that you're loved and supported! Thank you for sharing yourself and your life with us! It feels like I have an internet bestie 💙 Hoping you and your family have lovely winter holidays! Love from Canada!❄
@@thekatattack hey!! I am so thankful for your sweet comment today. I know that took you a bit to write, but I’m crying as I read it & all the love I can feel from you! Thank you so much for your sweet words today! I needed them more than you know 🤎 it’s always a little uncomfortable to be vulnerable & share that life isn’t always so perfect or ideal, but in the end, that’s really what life is full of - ups & downs & we all have them. And we all truly need each other & im just so thankful for the sweet support & love you shared with me today! I hope you have an incredible rest of the day!! (Try to stay warm!!) 🤎🤎🤎
Well said
@@ThisCrazyLife aww!! You'll make me cry now! You are the sweet one! Sending hugs and positive vibes!!! 💙💙💙
Amanda, you looked so sad at the beginning! I truly wish things improve for you in the new year. I love your videos and have been following you for a long time.
We all put too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect, have perfect homes and at the end of the day these things don't matter! Love yourself and your family that's what's important.
You have had a very busy hard working year, you deserve a break. Take one! ❤
@@GB26. thank you so much for your kind words 🤍 they mean a lot!
I truly appreciate you showing how late you stay up to clean this night. I have alot of nights where im cleaning just as late and i almost feel guilty, but seeing you go through the same thing makes me feel not alone. I know its not the healthiest most normal thing to do but sometimes it just happens. Thank you ❤
Your voice is so soothing! Like I watch your videos because it’s very therapeutic for me. Thank you!
Amanda you are an inspiration
I'm 58 and want to be you when I grow up. I'm lazy I hate to clean but I clean with you I miss your late night cleans
I lost my mom three weeks ago today. I have insomnia and your after dark videos always give me such a peaceful feeling. I am so glad you had extra time with your mom...treasure every minute, because time flies way to fast. I was a primary caregiver until my mom had to go into a Care Center, and after that, visited her almost every day, and was blessed to be with her to say goodbye when she took her final breath. One thing I have learned is, when going through the rough stuff - and it applies no matter what that rough stuff might be - don't focus on "should haves" and "could haves". Focus on the good things, the things that went right, and the things that brought you and your loved ones joy. Lately everyone seems to be talking about living in the moment - and that is such a good thing to do. Find beauty and joy in the little things that bless your life every day. Look for them and celebrate them. Be thankful. One of the things I am thankful for tonight is your video, and the time to relax, be thankful, and just breathe.
Thank you for sharing your sweet words and wisdom. I am so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼
my positive spin on life is to watch inspiring videos like yours and take motivation from them. Since I found you I feel like there's been more organisation and house motivation going on here, so thanks Amanda. x
Thank you!! 💕 That’s so sweet of you to say! Merry Christmas 🎄
Love, love, love these videos Amanda! Always relaxes me. Thank you for this. I must say, I do miss when you would show more of your dishes being washed. It was always calming and satisfying.
@@jessicagallegos7766 thanks so much for the feedback!!
I'm a night owl, too. It's currently 3:45am here in Australia while I'm enjoying myself watching your video. ❤
Oh hope all is well Amanda, we all have disaster so its ok, hope things look up for you. We all appreciate your channel and how you motivate us all the time. Been watching your channel fir a long time and i deel your a awesome caring person and has the biggest heart for others.We are here for you, I care about you and think your wonderful.Big hug from me hope you feel better soon.❤
Thanks for sharing real life. I struggle with extreme anxiety and panic attacks, and a dirty house does not help. On the other hand I get analysis paralysis. As you can see the 2 things do not go together. Seeing that my house is not the only one untidy helps my brain function and that I'm not alone. May you enjoy the holidays and start fresh in 2025❤
I love getting up before the sun and much of the neighborhood, so that I don't feel like I waste any daylight. It's a quiet, peaceful time for me...much like late night is for you. Because I feel best with 9 hours of sleep/rest, that prevents me from staying up very late. Thanks for your lovely videos!
Peaceful at night for sure! Enjoy that now cause they grow up so quick! I belive mine went from 3 to 20s in seconds...Christmas is my favorite always has been ...lost my momma couple years ago to covid !! (cherish ya momma) Have a great week Amanda😊
It is so nice that you got to spend an extra week with your mom!! I miss mine so much…it is especially hard this time of year. Treasure the time you have with your mom now!!🥰
I truly enjoy your channel. Always so caring. Glad to hear you had time with your mom.
Sending you calm, serenity, love, motivation, hope, and alllll the good vibes ❤ I don’t have anything major going on but have felt so anxious lately can’t sleep extremely overwhelmed where I can’t find motivation to do much - very different than how I usually feel. So I’m hoping things get better for you soon friend - truly ❤❤❤❤❤
I hope this video helped you relax! Sending you love and good vibes 💕
Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a Future 🙏✨💖

John 16:33a These things have I spoken unto ye that ye might have peace. Prayers for peace for you Amanda!
Amanda, hi, I'm at night person also since I retired. I your videos. They are so uplifting, and it seems like you're timing with your videos.Come just at the right time for my life. I love watching you and I can relate to a lot of what you say even though I'm a lot older than you. I love your dishwasher. It's so big. I would think you'd have a lot more dishes to put in there with your big family.
I'm sorry that you're going through something personal. I'm going through some health issues. I just want to let you know that i'm so blessed that I found your videos. They have made a difference in my life. Thank you, and have a blessed Christmas 🎄 ❤😊🎉🎁🎄
There is something so satisfying about a slow vacuum. I learned that from you.
Not only do you seem like an incredibly nice and genuine person, you are also an amazing content creator! Your editing, choice of music, timing in the voiceovers, your creativity, it is SO inspiring to me. I hope you will have the best christmas and that 2025 will be awesome! ❤
I am a nite owl person too. I am So glad to see I am not alone. Love your videos. They are so inspiring. Just remember my motto is Don't let anyone anything Steal your Joy.
@@lynnhendley8910 that is an INCREDIBLE motto to have!!🤎
I pray things get better for you. You deserve all good things. ❤
100% a night owl! I worked midnight shift for years and I doubt that I could be a morning person, I even waited till this evening to watch. You picked such pretty music 🎶 ❤
I wish I could late night clean but my husband doesn't like the bedroom door closed while sleeping. I have gotten up a few times to go and pick up in an area that I know needs my attention. I know life happens and I have learned to go with the flow and get things done when I can. I was so happy to hear you have had your mom and sisters visit. Tis the season for that. I am just planning week to week for family gatherings. I love this time of year it was my mother's favorite time and I feel her with me. Whatever you want to share with us helps me so much. The motivation, the cleaning tips ,and definitely the recipes. My cleaning fairies have been working some but as we know they celebrate like we do. Thank you Amanda for being here for all of us and sharing your family with us. Enjoy the holidays and my God bless all of you. Till next time.😊
Amanda please know that I love watching your videos because you are real and you are one of the best motivators that I watch. Thanks for sharing and yes I am claiming 2025 as my year
I stopped just now at 14:33 to pray for you! Thank you so much for asking US to share encouragement with YOU! You so often uplift us and sometimes we need the opportunity to give that back to you. I also wanted to share a song that has blessed me so often, it’s a well known church hymn but I like the version by Jadon Lavik - “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” Whatever is going on, He is always right next to you, and loves you more than you could ever imagine. ❤
Thank you so much for the prayer! It means more than you know!! And thank you for sharing that with me 🤎🤎🤎
This is my first time watching your videos within 3 months, life has been very busy, I’m happy I’m starting fresh with this recommended video. The background music while you were cleaning the sink actually got me emotional, haha I’m feeling a little better shedding a tear. I love you & your family. I will start watching ya videos more consistently knowing I got all those notifications on☺️☺️☺️
Ahh! Welcome back!! And Omgsh sometimes a good cry is just what we need!! 🤎🤎🤎
I am totally a night owl and enjoy that quiet time…I often do laundry at that time!
I always think it could be worse. I start counting my blessings. This too shall pass. And It will work out. Those are my go to's for a pick me up. Hope it helps.
Love your channel! You seem so kind and caring 😊❤️
I’m feeling I needed this more than I realized! Thanks for being willing to share your house when it’s not perfect. I so believe that it can help others, myself included, get the motivation needed to work on areas within our own homes.
Thank you for showing the real side of life, it's more personable and relatable. Life can be more challenging at certain times of the year and can really be demanding on the mind, body and soul. I too am a night owl, it's my time to decompress from all the events of the day. I find if I break down a task or two at night in 10 to 15 minute bouts, it helps me keep a few more things in order. Sometimes we're just not feeling it and that's ok...stay strong and take care of yourself.
I'm so happy you were able to spend extra time with your mom. Sounds like the Universe knew you needed it. I'm so sorry things have been hectic. I think a lot of us are feeling that this year. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability and your messy house! It's such a relief to have others in your same boat!
🎉I can’t wait to start a new year soon 😊 hopefully everything will be ok and remember that you are strong, no matter what happens ❤ happy new year and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Long time viewer and subscribed. Love to spend my Saturday mornings and cleaning days listening to your voiceovers and calming presence. I am sorry it seems like you are going through it. This is a hard time for me too with my entire family in heaven and mom in memory care. We will get through. I love your devotion to your mom. Beautiful. My prayers are with you. You are always such a bright light and such a giving person ! Hang in there ❤
Amanda, you’re wonderful. Your home is beautiful, it’s full of life and love, I know, it’s overwhelming sometimes, mine too.
No reasons or excuses needed, it’s just life!
I also am a night owl through and through lol
I'm so glad you could join me tonight! I know exactly what you mean about those overwhelming moments in life. 💕
Amanda I’m so glad that you were able to spend so much time with your sweet mom. I’m sure you didn’t mind her plane turning around. 😊
I hope you are able to enjoy Christmas break with the boys. ❤️
Haha it made for a long day/night driving and flying so much that day… but I selfishly was happy to have her with me longer for sure!
I'm a night owl also. When your video came up, I was picking up, putting the rest of my fall decor away, and decorating. 😅
Hi Amanda! I've been watching your videos for years and you always have such good advice for us. I'm sorry you're going through it right now but recently I was talking to a neighbor and she's had a bunch of 'life' hitting her from all ways and she said her favorite saying is 'This too shall pass.' It's amazing how we get so caught up in life we don't realize the calm until we're in the storm. Hang in there and know you have many many adoring followers and whatever it is you are going through... this too shall pass! ❤🙏
@@michelefischer1759 you’re so right… thank you for sharing that wisdom & reminder!!
Thanks for sharing real life Amanda people don’t know what families are going through,your home is beautiful and very inviting I’m sure your mum loved the guest bedroom with the new doors.❤god bless you and your sweet family.😊
@@kimberley1195 it’s so true… we should really always be so kind to others, because what may look beautiful to those on the outside, might feel like a storm on the inside 🤍 and yesss! She loved the new bedroom!
I've been missing you, glad to have a video from you today
Happy to see you here, Tammy!!
We must be related!!! 😂. I’ve never slept many hours a night since having children long ago. Teaching school I tried to get 5 hrs a nite. Now as an old retired teacher, I stay up until 4:00-6:00, then cat nap during the day. I plan all appts in the afternoon because I cannot DO mornings at all. I wash clothes lots late at night. Living alone I don’t have things out of place or dishes in sink, but I do have laundry. Love your videos.
Haha yes! Always too much to do and not enough time! But I always find I have more energy at night as opposed to the morning🤎
Merry Christmas Amanda. This was so relaxing i plan to watch ot again tonight! I have been a fan since you started your channel. When i retired from many years of working, i realized i didnt know how to keep house. My job required me to travel a whole lot and mostly overseas in to developing countries. So i hired help. It was time to learn how to keep a house. I knew the individual tasks, vaccume, laundry, dusting, etc. But didn't know how to put them to gather to keep home under control.
Thanks to you and 3 or 4 other women on youtube, it's much less scarey than i imagined. There is so much more to this nutty story, but you were constant and sane.
A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your wonderful family.
A follower and a friend, Judy 🎄
@@judyshallstrom415 I’m so thankful you’ve been a part of the This Crazy Life family for so long!! You’re so incredible! 🤍🤍🤍
Merry Christmas 🎄 Amanda. Hope you have a beautiful time! I wish you all the best to you and your family. 😊
Ohh Amamda, I hope everyone is doing well, sorry to hear things haven’t been going smoothly for you. I’ve had an extremely rough month myself as my mama went to hospital and now in a rehab facility for past 4 weeks 😢 I’m spending every minute I can every day to be with her along with working full time and it’s definitely taking a toll. your sweet words about your mom hit home! ❤❤ so precious ❤❤ TY
Oh I am so sorry to hear about your mom! Sending you so much love 💕
🎉Hey Amanda. It's nice to see you back on the vlog. Spending time with your Mom creates those memories that feed the soul and having her there an extra week bc of her flight was meant to be. I truly believe that. I'm sorry to hear you have some personal things going on. I hope you can feel the positive energy and prayers I'm sending your way. Christmas is my favorite time of year but feeling a bit of the holiday blues these last few weeks. Comes and goes. I find myself going for long walks even during these cold days. A walk always clears my head and gives me some peace. Deep cleaning my home helps too. Your after dark cleaning video was just what I needed. I am a morning person. I wake up early for work and so it's no different any other day. I feel at my best in the morning. Hope you have a great week Friend 🙏🏼❤️🤗
@@jos-1994 hey friend!! Thank you so much! And I believe her plane change was meant to be for sure!! I hope you can enjoy the rest of the week… maybe find one thing you enjoy and do that for yourself tomorrow! And just take some time to really sit with it and feel the happiness it gives you! 🤍🤍🤍
@ThisCrazyLife indeed my Friend! So glad you spent that extra time with her! And thank you for the advice! I hadn't thought to do that.....tomorrow it is! 🤎🙏🏼
Thank you for this video; I’m having a really hard holiday season this year amidst grief and mental health struggles. You’re always so kind and feel like I’m talking to a close friend ❤❤
Sending you a big virtual hug & lots of love!
Hi Amanda. I have been watching your vlog for a long time, you have a fantastic energy! I live in Hungary, we don't have houses of this size. I would never think of cleaning at night, for me it is the time to calm down, meditate, read and sleep. The body also needs it to recharge. But you know exactly that. I keep order in such a way that when I enter a room, I always have something in my hand that I put in its place. This has worked for me, I don't let the objects tower. 2) I only buy what I need. I won't buy the 40th pillowcase, mug and the like, if you understand...(I saw your selection, it was a good idea) 3) you have to get the children to help you too. We in Hungary are already very excited, this is our last working week and we are really looking forward to the holidays. I wish the whole family a blessed, peaceful Christmas.🎄✨🎁🎇🎄
Hey! I hope you have a good last work week before the holidays!! 🤎
Hi Amanda! I’m glad that you got a lot of quality family time, that is so important! I am definitely a night owl but I like waking up early on the weekends to get my errands done before it gets too crowded. Hope you are having a good start of your week!
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful and calming!!!
So happy to see you back. When life throws us a whammy sometimes we need to concentrate on that whammy. Know that we will always be here for you through it all. I love your channel bc you ACTUALLY show the real life moments that we all have 💜💙💚💛🧡
@@cathleenweaver6483 ahhh! I love that we’re all so supportive of acknowledging that we all have these real life moments!!
Love it, I have not cleaned at night in a long time… but I know how good it feels in the a.m. when you get up… it is good to see you…😊
It truly is the best feeling, isn't it?!
Amanda, whatever is going on in life, remember, it’s temporary. God has more in store and during these times, He got you! Just lean into Him! His favorite sound is His children calling on Him! Praying life gets nicer and your Christmas is the merriest of times with your precious family!
I just love you and your channel! Yesterday had plans with a friend….i got up showered and then just snuggled in pj’s until I needed to get dressed. My house was a mess (I blame the cats, 😅). I’m barely dressed and was working on a computer project…and my friend shows up an hour early😳. I knew we were true friends when I felt no shame her seeing my house like that and she totally didn’t care. I feel like that when I come to your channel, it may be beautifully put together or needing cleaning like today and you invite us in. You treat us like we are truly friends. Just know there are friends out here pulling you in for a hug, and lending an ear, and there is a living true God who is drawing you in to Him too. Though hard, may your troubles bring you closer to the import things in life. I loved that you got an extra week with your mom!
I always smile when your videos pop-up. I truly appreciate you. I get anxious when I feel my space isn't organized as well, so thanks for reminding me that I'm not alone. I recently moved and this video helped me unpack a couple suitcases. You have a beautiful home and family. Lovely videos are provided to us regularly. You work so hard to be all the things❤
We appreciate these videos🎉
I miss your video and glad to see you back.
Love the night cleaning routines.
I'm so glad you share real life with us because life is messy sometimes but we have to be real about life and know that we are one person with lots to do but we can do it give yourself grace and never put yourself down or feel like you are a failure because we don't have all done because we are not a failure we are human
Veronicam.. thank you. .I need that reminder. It is one of my favorite scripture. I have been feeling extremely alone in a situation I'm going through. The only thing that has gotten me through is the Lord.
Hello from France, I'm sorry to hear you're going through a lot right now.
A few things that help me : you're not alone, you've survived 100% of the hard things you've through so far and this too shall pass.
I really hope the clouds will fade away soon. 🙂
Thank you!! 💕
Nightowl :) And yes I have also clean late at night. But I do live in apartment so I need to be mindful of then I do things. I do often will go to bed around midnight.
So nice that your Mom and other members of your family came for a visit and that you were able to spend quality time together ❤
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your whole family 🌲
Glad to see you back. I was a little worried about you, but I know this time of year. Such a busy time for families. Praying you are okay, take some time for yourself. I love in the mornings early in the morning to just have devotions. With just my Bible and God so praying that you’ll have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it so much!! 🙏
Great night cleaning 😌 ❤! Happy you were able to have your mom visit!❤
Love your after dark videos cause I am a night person and I also clean at night when everyone else is sleep. I have actually done it for so long it doesn't wake my kids or husband
I'm an early bird, myself and generally I'm getting up around the time you're going to bed between 3 and 4 AM.
As you were filming the "chaos" of your home, I kind of had to chuckle. My life took a complete upheaval in the last 9 days. I had to pack up literally everything I own and move from Arizona to another country. The home I moved to looked good in the pictures but upon inspection in real life it needs a ton of work and all of the boxes from the move (all 60 of them) are in every spare corner of every room! There are no corners to be spared. lol. So in comparison, your house is tidy and livable. I've been in complete homesickness and not able to adjust to the change so much so that it takes every bit of energy I have to go through even one box and unpack it. I'm sleeping in the middle of most days and crying the rest of them. It'll get better in time...but I miss Arizona with every fiber of my being. Your video brought me a little semblance of home; thank you for that.
I haven't even decorated yet! Even in our small space of our 5th wheel I am having a hard time motivating myself. Granted I was doing crafts for a holiday market, but now that I'm done with that I have much to do! Your motivation video might just do the trick! MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎄
Night owl definitely love your videos! i wish you and your family happy holidays and all the best for the new year!❤❤❤
Wow your hair grows so fast ❤ love this kind of videos so much!! I am a night person but... I dont function well when I dont sleep 7- 8 hours.. thats a problem, especially with 2 kids😂
Something that helps me during rough times is giving myself grace, the same grace and love I would extend to my sister or friend but allowing to feel it for myself. Even when you can’t see it, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise it’s there. Be kind to yourself. Thank you for inspiring me over the years, kind of crazy how two strangers can connect through videos but just know this stranger here sees you, appreciates you, is praying for you and believes in you. 🩵
I’m so glad you’re here! Thank you for your sweet words! 💕
I hope everything is okay 💕 we are also in a hard season right now and keep saying we feel like life is just raining on us but I keep looking to the future and know life will calm down again and I can’t wait for it lol. I hope things calm for you soon too ❤
Ugh… when it rains it pours… one good thing, is when it stops raining, the sun will come out - and you’ll be able to find a new appreciation for its light & warmth. Sending you so much love!
Hi Amanda sending prayers you are feeling better. I enjoyed your video I used to be a night owl but after retiring I find myself up very early In the morning I get a lot done before my husband is up for the day. We are both retired. Merry Christmas 🎄
I am for sure a night owl and always have been !!
So happy to see you! Thank you, I needed motivation today!! The holidays always add that extra stress, however it also feels exciting to see everyone during the holidays. I do hope all is well with you and the family! Merry Christmas!! 😍
Merry Christmas to you too!! 🎄
Love your videos and you! Really neat how you folded over the towels to show both sides. Going to do that now!
Hi Amanda,thank you for your videos,I wish you and your Family peacefull Holidays ❤❤❤❤❤
I love you doing late night cleaning plus I’m prayers are with you hope things get better
Love these night time clean videos
Yes, just noticed it’s 3:20!!! Happy coming new year🎉🥳🎊
P.S. gratitude 🙏 think about 3 things you are grateful of every single day. Make it your habit no matter how hard day was. Gratitude 🙏
Love that so much!!
I feel like I'm trying to keep my head above water. Like I'm treading water and slipping and reaching up with my hands to grab something. 🎉🎉 I always think of the new year as a reset too.
I just can't seem to get motivated either. I just don't want to.
Ugh.
Hope you feel everyone's love and that your burden is lifted.
Sending love your way! Please know you’re not alone!! 🤎🤎🤎
I started watching you since 2021 when you wear moving & I was moving around the same time as you were, I never seen you sad but I wish you the best love from Canada 🍁 ❤❤
I am not ready to reset the year. I am so excited for Christmas and the 31st. Ots my favorite time of year.❤🎄
Great motivation video ❤ Beautiful home ❤

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Watching from Philippines. Needed this, can't sleep.
Oh I’m so sorry you can’t sleep! I hope this can relax you tonight & you can get some much needed rest! 😴
I admit it did help me to see it happens to all of us. I work a 3 days a week and it is an extremely long day , stressful job in dialysis. I am always so tired I don’t feel like cleaning. Thing get behind. So thank you for being willing to share❤
@@darlenebrown3993 sending love!! We’re all dealing with something… so it for sure helps to know we’re not alone in it 🤎
Hello from Ireland, so beautiful cozy Video ✨🕯🎄
I love watching you when you clean your house and repair too
Thanks!! I’m so happy you’re here!
hug
Always have been a night owl. Worked nights for 40 years. Lol Still one. Love your videos
I just had to laugh when you said your house was such a mess because I just came from Feral Tradwife! So glad your video is real life and that you were able to spend so much time with your mom. 🎉
My husband worked graveyard shift for most of the 20+ years we were married. I was terrible about staying up too late whether he was at work or at home up with me. Although he's been gone for two years, I still catching myself staying up too late ... Like now, it's almost midnight!
The first weekend in December I spent in Chicago with one of my long time friends. We went to the Christmas Market and her daughter's college violin concert. Lots of good food, swimming at the hotel pool and chats. It was lots of fun, but also a kick in the pants about some things I need to be working on.
Hi Amanda I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time with your mum, if I can't sleep I usually go down stairs and start cleaning my kitchen and living room bearing in mind I have a big kitchen I was cleaning it and one of my daughters thought someone had broken in 😂😂😂Annmarie UK 🇬🇧 🎉🎉
Omg, you’re just like I was. Picking up after 6 kids (5 actually my husband the 6th). Everything was just left, dumped wherever they were. Dishes piled, no dishwasher. Gotta start getting them involved in picking up their own things. Dinner…about 10 years of age, responsible for the dish, bowl cup, whatever they each used. Complaints? Wanna do pots? Nope. So, it worked! They won’t remember when they grow up. It’ll just show in their actions. You’ll be pleased. And actually get to sleep. ❤
Amanda! I am a morning person and run out of steam as the day goes on. I have always looked forward to early bedtime and that's what I do. I say, accept your rhythm. Just make sure you get a good nights. I pray things will settle down for you real soon.
Thank you!! 💕 Happy Monday!
