hey you guys welcome back we are gonna
be doing another cleaning video full of
a ton of cleaning motivation you guys I
have two weeks yes two weeks to get my
house ready to be put on the market so
we have a ton of stuff that we need to
do you are going to be getting a ton of
cleaning motivation don’t forget to
subscribe because we will be posting
videos like this every single week it’s
gonna be so much fun okay let’s go ahead
and get started so I’m gonna start off
today’s video cleaning up some of the
mess that we made after cutting Noah’s
hair we have been doing the boys
haircuts for about a year or so and I
learned how to do it on YouTube and
Kristen as well at first I was really
scared but I feel like they are really
starting to look nice the kids love to
get their haircuts because mainly they
want a lollipop but when you’re spending
15 to 20 dollars per kid it just doesn’t
make sense I can buy a giant bag of
lollipops for a lot cheaper than that so
I do their hair and we always do them in
here and I’m gonna sweep up everything
and that is how we are going to start
today’s app video it’s a mess but you
know someone’s got to do it
[Music]
moving into our dining room area I’m
going to clean everything off in here
one thing that I did differently in
today’s video that I have not done in my
other ones is I took a moment and
remember to stop and show you guys show
you guys the mess after each room so
definitely stay tuned after each room I
vacuum or we clean carpets or whatever
it may be you will actually see all of
the dirt and dust and dog hair that
comes out of the floors I wanted to show
you guys what it looks like it is
absolutely insane I don’t feel like it
does it justice if we don’t clean out
the vacuum canister after each room so I
wanted to show you you’re going to be
blown away
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it is a regular occurrence to find
lizards in the house especially because
we have cats but they get in constantly
you’ll see them just crawling on the
walls I like to have a lot of fresh air
so all especially in the morning I will
open the French doors and they come in
or the cats will bring them in so yeah
that’s a normal thing you will in fact
see lizards in your house baby
alligators at your front porch and big
giant alligators in your backyard I
don’t think people really realize that
but in Florida they are alligators
especially are protected so you can’t do
anything about them they don’t usually
mess with you but you know that they’re
there and you just stay out of the
little ponds but I know people will see
them like on the Internet and you
probably think is that even real that is
100% real they are everywhere I have
literally been driving down the street
and seen an alligator on the side of the
road usually they’re just going to one
pond or one lake to the other but and
they don’t they don’t really mess with
you but they are scary very scary
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]

[Music]
I wanted to show you guys Chris teaching
the littlest boys how to unload the
dishwasher we’ve been having them all
take part in chores more and more and
it’s been really sweet I honestly just
love watching him teach our kids to do
things it was just a sweet little thing
and while he was doing that I’m filming
over here because I wanted to show you
this rug before we had our realtor come
over you guys I’m not one that believes
in like Mondays and they’re just
destined destined to be bad days I just
don’t think that way I love Mondays I
love new beginnings but on this
particular day you guys I was trying to
frantically clean the house with a
realtor to come over and just take a
little peek and he’s also a friend of
ours I knew it didn’t need to be perfect
but I knew that I wanted it at least be
picked up and hazel had gotten one of
the kids crayons and I was like okay
well I’ll just vacuum it up and I did
and then little pieces of the chewed
crayon got in the bristles of the vacuum
and as I’m vacuuming vacuuming my white
rug streaks of red crayon I thought I
was absolutely going to die I was
mortified and then I spilt soy sauce all
over the carpet as well so Chris is
going to clean the carpet and I cannot
wait to show you everything get pulled
out it was so nasty
let’s go my garden just for someone was
before you someone
sure
[Music]
mom was
someone
[Music]
to be sure
[Music]
bring you down
[Music]
[Music]
nobody’s like us when people see us they
know I feel so much for you so he tried
his best to get it out but I’m gonna end
up using as you see here the bleach pin
just to kind of let it sit on there for
a second
that did the trick I don’t I mean you
absolutely could not do this unless the
rug was pretty darn white but that’s
what we had to use
[Music]
will you let me down
[Music]
so I’m going to tackle the kitchen I put
on some of the gloves that we’ve had the
garage for the longest time my mom sells
medical supplies and laboratory supplies
I may have mentioned that in the past
that’s where we get our like PDI wipes
but I’ve been wanting to use gloves more
and more especially with expecting I
just wanted to be careful and my nails
are really brittle right now but they
broke immediately so I took them off and
put these gloves on instead but I was
really proud of myself for at least
where it Michael helps more often I was
kidding myself
[Music]
so I have seen in the past where there
have been comments about these videos
there’s someone always cleaning their
sink or something like that and I just
wanted to say first off I try not to
really focus on comments like that
because unless you’re really doing this
job it’s hard to explain yourself
especially everyone that’s doing these
videos but you know I don’t want you
guys to see so much what we’re doing I
mean definitely you know watch what
we’re doing but don’t so much focus on
Owen other person cleaning they’re
seeing we’re so boring watching someone
do their dishes or cleaning a toilet
that’s not fun don’t focus on those
things focus on how we’re doing it
doesn’t make you when you watch doesn’t
make you feel good and it sense that it
makes you feel encouraged it makes you
feel motivated does the music make you
want to get up and move and does it make
you feel chill and calm whatever the
case may be that’s what I want you guys
to focus on so many times I struggle
with okay what am I gonna clean today I
want to mix it up I don’t want it to be
the same old stuff for you guys but on
the days where it is the same oh stuff
like me cleaning my kitchen or making my
bed don’t focus so much on what I’m
doing focus on the music focus on how it
makes you feel because that’s the goal I
don’t necessarily need to teach anybody
how to clean a cake pan or a cake dish
like this but it’s the music so envision
yourself cleaning while I’m cleaning and
this is really upbeat music that’s why I
choose the music I choose because it’s
what makes me want to move so I want to
help you guys and I do understand
because I’ve done it I will sit down and
I will just watch this video sometimes
but a lot of times for moms and busy
people we just turn these videos on to
have background noise and so that’s kind
of the point of everything we’re doing
so I just wanted to put that tidbit in
there try not to focus so much on the
stuff that we’re doing often you know if
it is the kitchen or cleaning a sink or
making our bed try to just think about
how it makes you feel and it’s good
background music for you guys and when
talk I’m not talking just to tell you
guys random things I’m hoping that it
feels like you have a friend cleaning
with you because I know you guys know if
you’re here you’re family and I just
want you guys to feel like you’re not
alone
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

[Music]
[Music]
[Music]

[Music]
I’m using my same old SOS little wool
brush here that I used just a moment ago
and I’m actually wiping it over the
glass cooktop it does not scratch it at
all and I had some really rough stains
on there so I wanted to use this and
then I’m moving on to my e cloth I love
my e-cloth you guys I will try to get a
link if you guys remind me or you’re
interested I’ll get one and I’ll put it
in my description box or respond to your
comments but these things are amazing
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so I am making a point of showing you
guys what I am using it with every room
and every time I switch to anything else
I’m going to be showing you guys this is
my favorite granite and stone cleaner
you can use it for the kitchen or the
bathroom and it smells amazing and then
my good ol fashioned aqua microfiber
cloths that I’ve heard just from
Marshall I got about ten of them I think
for $7.99 or $9.99 I have been on the
hunt for another pack so if you guys see
them in your TJ Maxx Marshalls or home
goods let me know I’m looking for this
color I need them
[Music]
[Applause]
even if you try you understand it maybe
something’s missing inside of you just a
bit of sure
– that hard
maybe tastes different
[Music]
I can’t sit beside this little tool here
is amazing I’ve seen one for a while
just sitting in the stores and I’ve
wanted to get one it was nineteen
dollars and it is well worth it highly
recommend it it cleaned around all of
the sinks and everything as you’ll see
and it cleaned it really really well so
this is a great purchase I guess it
never had to our conversation
[Music]
so I am not posting on my normal day
today and I can’t give all the details
as of yet but I will let you guys know
because you know you guys are family to
me and I want you guys I always say
thank you for joining me on this journey
so I don’t want to keep anything from
you and so I wanted to let you know that
I wasn’t able to post on my normal day
because I spent the night before in the
emergency room I was working working out
actually and I had noticed I had felt
something when I was so when I went to
go take a shower I noticed that I was
bleeding quite a bit and this is my
sixth baby so I never experienced that
before so you know I kind of sat there
and thought well there’s nothing they
can do but then you know I’m like a
Facebook group for moms who are
expecting around January and they said
you know you might as well go check
especially since it’s a holiday and I
did and they ran my blood and they did
an ultrasound and my levels my HCG
levels were well over in the 2000s but
we weren’t able to see a lot definitely
could see the pregnancy but and we could
see the yolk sac but we couldn’t see the
fetal pole and so he told me I needed to
contact my doctor to get my levels
tested again and then also to do another
ultrasound so I don’t really have much
to say at this moment cried a lot the
past couple of days feel very sad but
also trying to get moments of hope that
when I go and see the doctor and get my
levels checked and do another ultrasound
that there will be good news so I would
love some prayers and good vibes
since our way because it doesn’t matter
if it’s your sixth baby or your first
it’s still really really hard to think
that it might be ending so soon when you
had so much hope so
I would love some prayers
and then also head over to my I have in
my description box and I’ll put in a
card above our family channel I will be
posting everything about this pregnancy
over there but I just thought that you
guys deserved an explanation on why I
didn’t post on time so I just appreciate
you guys and your love and your well
wishes so just continue to keep us on in
your prayers hopefully we get some
answers this week but I will be posting
and updating on our family channel
you share your love so easy
secure
[Music]
here
so I can be sure but here we go
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
you care
so I do
[Music]
don’t pretend to pretend
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
so I’m just using a clean microfiber
cloth I got a new one and I’m gonna wipe
down these barstools again I am
preparing to get this house ready for
pictures to put on the market so I want
everything to look really crisp and
white and you know this is something
that we definitely overlooked quite a
bit with the kids you know how it is so
I wanted to take care of this right now
and then wipe down the baseboards as
well
[Music]
and
you can
[Music]
[Music]
I am not sure if I mentioned it but I
put a new little duvet on our bed this
is from Bed Bath & Beyond got it super
cheap it actually has an insert for the
down comforter but it is way too thick
and way too hot so I do not put the
comforter in there and it is plenty
thick you don’t even need it but I love
it I think it’s really really pretty
kind of my cozy cottage feel and then
I’m using my little lint roller because
Hazel’s hair is out of control out of
control and I can’t even handle it
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay real quick I’m going to clean off
my counter and then I’m going to show
you what I use to strip laundry so I’ve
taken all of Chris’s work clothes which
really hold odors because we live in
Florida and he does AC contracting I
can’t catch my breath these days so I’m
going to pick on this plus I’m going to
strip them which basically means I’m
going to use Arm & Hammer laundry boost
and the borax and some tight powder
gonna let that sit in really hot water
and I’m going to show you everything up
close so you know what I’m doing and
it’s going to basically release any
nasty bacteria all the odors stains and
whatnot out of the clothes we don’t
realize this but even when you wash your
clothes you don’t get all of the hidden
gunk out of there if you’ve ever watched
something you’re like it still just
doesn’t smell clean this is what you do
you can do this to any clothes it’s
especially good for work clothes workout
clothes or just clothes that you have
left and the walks are too long and
haven’t noticed too now and then you
like quickly wash it again it’s just a
little extra detergent and a little
extra soft we’re hoping for the best and
then you open up the dryer after you
transferred it it’s all dried you’re
like I hope that it’s a smell in moments
like that especially towels so I’m going
to know if my countertop will really
quick and then we’re told
[Music]
[Music]
crazy
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
so I’m thinking about painting these
cabinets like a gray color let me know
what you think they definitely need to
be touched up before we sell so I was
thinking about going gray let me know in
the comments below gray or white what do
you think
and then maybe gold handles I thought
would be really pretty as well
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I am going to zoom through cleaning over
on Christmas I these are I hate cleaning
over here because you cannot get good
angles there are certain places at my
house that I just don’t like to film
this is one of them and then the
bathrooms because they’re so tight but
I’m just going to zoom through here and
then I’m going to move on into our
shower I’m going to use the little
device for the shower because we have
like little hexagon tiles and I’m trying
to get around each and every tile which
I honestly love meticulous cleaning like
this it just I don’t know I get in the
flow and it makes me feel so relaxed I
used to do cleaning like this when I was
like 8 9 10 years old I would stay up
really late I’m clean tile grout lines
and tile my mom thought I was nuts and
so now she laughed she’s like it doesn’t
surprise me that you’re on YouTube
cleaning your house showing people how
to clean their house because this is all
you’ve ever done because literally it
like three years old this is no
exaggeration I remember cleaning my room
and it being so perfect and then my
sister would walk in and I would scream
because she and I don’t clean the same
way and so even as adults we don’t clean
the same way so my mom just laughed
she’s like you’re literally doing your
dream job
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
here is the lineup for the laundry
stripping I’m super excited to show you
guys that please excuse the background
that is Ruby she has a problem with
barking
[Music]
so you’re supposed to do a quarter cup
of the arm and hearing mirror and then a
quarter cup of the borax and then you do
a half a cup of the detergent and super
hot water you let that dissolve before
you put your clothes in and then just
throw whatever you want in there I would
recommend doing like all darks and then
all whites and then I put it in a jar
here and I just mixed it all together
[Music]
you can do this too dirty clothes you
can do this too clink clothes it will
work just as well for clean clothes
believe it or not so this is not a
chemical reaction this is pulling
trapped in dirt out of the clothes you
guys it’s amazing
[Music]
so one thing I will add when we were
younger we were extremely poor extremely
poor you guys I did not have a very
cushy upbringing and it wasn’t until I
think I was about 17 did my mom get a
really good job and so it was tough it
was really tough and cleaning was a way
that I distressed I didn’t know that as
a child but I know that now and so even
as an adult that’s how I do stress so
I’m glad I get to clean for you guys
[Music]
so I’m just stomping out some of the
water and is closed look at that you see
the groundwater this is just dirt and
bacteria that have gotten trapped in the
clothes that’s all it is and here’s all
the water whoa you can’t make this stuff
up like I had mentioned before this just
gets any of the trapped dirt in stinky
odors and everything in bacteria that’s
in your clothes
it just helps getting it out that’s
what’s called stripping and then I will
take these clothes and just watch them
like regular and they are good to go
guys look at that you can’t even see oh
my gosh
[Music]
okay you guys we are done when you’re
done cleaning I wiped out the baseboard
I’m gonna go throw these clothes in the
laundry and that is a wrap so done
tomorrow I’m going to be painting on the
baseboards and doing any touch-up paint
that needs to be done to prepare the
house for selling now that we’ve got to
have someone come in here and take
pictures all of the things that we have
overlooked or like lately like right in
front of my face so I’m gonna take you
guys along with me will be posting
