NEW! WHOLE HOUSE CLEAN WITH ME 2020 :: 😵 BROKEN FOOT SPEED CLEANING MOTIVATION + HOMEMAKING #WITHME
[Music]
[Music]
hey guys welcome back to my channel if
you haven’t followed me for a while
especially if you followed me over on
the vlogging channel or over an
Instagram you definitely know that I
recently broke my foot and also had a
double ear infection so I have just been
taken down a bit recently so I haven’t
been super active here on this main
channel but I am back today my foot is
not a hundred percent healed however I
don’t have to walk around on crutches
any longer and so I can kind of put some
weight on my foot now so our house has
been very neglected I’m so thankful that
Kyle and the boys have been helping me a
lot but I feel like no one cleans the
house you know like nobody cleans the
house like you do so I am just filling
the overwhelming feeling that I need to
go top to bottom and get everything
really nice and cleaned wipe down clean
our bathrooms really well do our floors
just get everything looking and feeling
super neat and clean and I want to take
you guys along with me so that is
exactly what we were going to do today I
have a ton a ton of cleaning what’ve a
shoot for you guys so go ahead and put
this video up on your phone on your
tablet on your TV whatever and let’s go
ahead and tackle our spaces together so
without further ado let’s do this I have
my cute slippers on
nice and cozy I’m gonna work with this
big ol thing and we are going to get
this house cleaned
[Music]
so before I started cleaning I wanted to
come up with some sort of a game plan
just to kind of let myself plan for how
I was going to tackle everything on my
list today you know lots of times I like
to start out in the kitchen because as
you guys know I love focusing on a
domino chore which means doing something
that really just motivates you to
continue on once you finish that chore
so for me that is totally in my kitchen
and that’s where I like to start but
I’ve been finding myself doing that
chore and then although it does motivate
me to keep going it also it just feels
like oh my gosh I got my chore done and
now I have so so much more to go I don’t
know why that’s been happening lately to
me but that’s just been kind of the
mindset of it so on this day I just
didn’t feel like starting in the kitchen
would serve me well with keeping my
motivation up so instead I decided to
start out upstairs and just work my way
down I think just because it’s something
new for me I usually never ever start
upstairs
I always either start in the basement or
on the main floor somewhere and a lot of
times I feel like if you are struggling
with motivation or if you just have a
lot on your plate sometimes it’s really
fun to just kind of switch things up
especially cleaning our homes can be
very monotonous and just feel very
repetitive because let’s face it it is
and so doing little things to kind of
switch things up can make a huge
difference no that can just be something
like I did here where I switched up
where I started that can be listening to
some new music that can be listening to
a podcast playing a video even just
talking to a friend on the phone while
you clean just something different it
can really make a big difference in
letting you kind of get out of the funk
of just doing the same thing over and
over again so I would suggest if you are
struggling with that try to think of
some new way that you can kind of change
things that’s just a little bit
I don’t know
[Music]
so like I’d mentioned earlier our house
had not had a really really good clean
and a few weeks it’s definitely been
cleaned several times but just kind of
more maintenance cleaning and not really
so much a good solid deep cleaning so
that’s why I’m also making sure that I
vacuum everything I feel like when you
take a break from cleaning whether it’s
intentional or it just kind of happens
it feels really good to go through every
space in your house just dedicate a few
hours one day or break it up throughout
the week and just give everything a
really really good nice solid clean and
it will make your whole entire house
feel so much better and so much more
peaceful so once I made it into the boys
bathroom I just started out by clearing
out all the clutter that had kind of
accumulated in the bathroom and then
once I got that all taken out of the
room and put away I wanted to start
cleaning the toilet that was definitely
an area that I really wanted to focus on
so I’m just using my method
antibacterial cleaner something that I
learned actually probably about a year
or two ago was the antibacterial
cleaners work amazing but you have to
give them time to work so that’s why I
started off by spraying off the toilet
and just letting it sit there and that
just would give it a few minutes to
really start working and make sure that
I was actually disinfecting our toilet
area and the next I’m just going to be
using our eat cloths to clean off my
mirror if you guys have followed me for
a while you know that I rave about them
constantly but they are such amazing
little class and they just worked so
incredibly well and the only use water
as well which is super nice and then
once I got my mirror all cleaned off I
just started wiping down the countertop
with that same antibacterial spray
[Music]
[Music]
and one thing I did when I mentioned
really quick is about the boys
toothbrushes every single time I show
this bathroom I get so many questions
about where these toothbrushes are from
and where the holders are from so these
are actually the equipped toothbrushes I
really really love them and our boys
really love them and they also come with
these holders that stick onto the
mirrors which just makes it even better
and then I’ve also been getting a ton of
questions about our toothpaste dispenser
so I will be sure to link that down
below for you guys in case if you want
to check it out but we have been loving
it so far
[Music]
[Music]
is
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right I just finished cleaning
upstairs
it looks amazing so hopefully nobody
goes up there to make it dirty very soon
but I’m down on the main level and I’m
just going to be tidying up down here it
definitely took me a lot longer than I
was hoping for it to take me upstairs
but it’s understandable since I am in
the boot and moving it a little bit
slower pace but this just needs to get
done it’s gonna feel so much better and
so good once the entire house is just
cleaned from top to bottom when I’m
feeling unmotivated or just struggling
and getting things done a lot of times
I’ll think it like the end result I’ll
try to think about feeling that’ll have
at the end and I feel like that feeling
and emotional feel just kind of pushes
me and gets me going and keeps me going
during the sex so that’s what I’m doing
I am imagining the piece that I’m going
to feel once the entire house is clean
and just all the calmness and peace that
our whole family will feel from this so
now time to tackle ah tackle this mess
[Music]
so here I just wanted to have the boys
help me for a few minutes I knew that we
could tackle this room and get it
cleaned up in like a matter of maybe two
minutes if they all just pitched in with
me otherwise it would have taken me
quite a bit longer especially with my
boot on right now and usually they’re
pretty good about helping me when I ask
them to like this which is honestly
quite a lot I usually have them pitch in
whenever I start to clean a big area
like this but if your kids are having a
hard time focusing with you I would
suggest playing a game with them on this
and for a few ideas on this you could
either set a timer and see if you guys
can clean up a space together within
that time or you could assign each kid a
certain color and let’s say one of them
has to pick up everything that’s blue
the other one has to pick up everything
that’s green or so on you kind of
customize this of course to whatever you
have in your room but just finding fun
ways to have them be included makes such
a big difference and it will really help
you just not have to do everything on
your own and it will also teach your
kids to have more responsibility while
still letting them have a little bit of
fun during that process
[Music]
once the living room and foyer was all
tidied up the boys just had their
regular everyday chore of putting away
the dishwasher so that is what they are
doing here and I was also helping the
process go a little bit faster just by
putting things up high for them
[Music]
[Music]
the next thing on my list was to go
through all the mail with Kyle usually
we will try to do this every one to two
weeks sometimes we’re a little bit more
on top of it and other times we’re not
just like everything in life but one
thing I do love is all of our mail is
almost always put up and off the
counters but it’s always kept in one
central location so we just have this
little mail slot up on our cabinet right
here I got this one a few years ago but
if I can find the link for it I will
leave it down below for you guys I
actually have just attached this to our
cabinets using command strips so I
didn’t have to put any holes in our
cabinets or anything but it’s really
nice because that way when we don’t have
time to go through mail on a daily basis
we still have a place for it other than
the countertop and it just helps keep
our counters a little bit more clear
[Music]
I’m about to explode
[Music]
so I feel like I had a lot less dishes
on this day than I typically do like the
day before I’m pretty sure I had to
scrub a ton of pots and pans and I had
almost an entire load of dishes to put
in the dishwasher by the time I got
around to doing them but I guess I was a
little bit ahead of schedule today and I
just didn’t feel like I had a ton of
dishes to do but I do like they try to
take care of my dishes throughout the
day and that way I’m not having to do
all of them at once
this doesn’t always happen but that’s
just kind of my ideal way of getting
things done so it just kind of depends
on what our day is like but anyway once
I got all the dishes either put in the
dishwasher to run later that night or
hand-washed I just used some bonhomie
powder along with some dish soap to
start scrubbing down my sink I love to
use the bottom a powder a few times a
week it really really helps to make your
sink shiny and then I also love using
the dish soap just because it kind of
helps to set it up and make it work a
little bit better but on a daily basis I
usually just use dish soap and then like
I said maybe once or twice a week I will
add in the bonhomie powder and I always
just find the bonhomie powder either on
girl collaborative or you can also find
it at Target sometimes
[Music]
–
for permission No
[Music]
to say I’m sorry
I stay
[Music]
I’m about to explode
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
okay so I feel like I’m making a decent
time in the kitchen
but I’m gonna show you guys how I make a
spray that I use all the time when I’m
cleaning my countertops I get questions
about it like whenever I’m using this
little glass spray bottle I always say
questions about what’s inside of it so
this is what I use I just use the mrs.
meyer’s multi-surface concentrate you
can get this in a ton of different
scents my personal favorite is the basil
so that’s what I have it in but I’ve
honestly had this probably close to a
year I feel but you only use I never
ever actually measure it I just kind of
eyeball it but I just used boo boo
between like half a teaspoon to a
tablespoon or so of this in a spray
bottle like a 16 oz spray bottle and
then just fill the rest with water and
then you have your own kind of
semi-homemade multipurpose spray and it
works really really well another thing
that I love to use this for if you guys
have been here for a while I always and
like washing my blinds with it I wipe
down our cars with it it’s just amazing
and you can dilute it to whatever you
want or depending on like how messy your
job is I also use this to clean out my
cordless Dyson so it’s just super
versatile and I want to say this is only
like eight dollars just something at
Target or you can also get it at Grove
collaborative you can find it all over
probably but those are the two places
that I get it so I’m just gonna make
some of that up because my spray bottle
is empty and then we will get to
cleaning the countertops
[Music]
I wish that I loved was just thanking
the movies with the happy and yeah but
sometimes you can’t handle your emotions
and I guess that’s okay
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
sooo
so this right here is very real
unfiltered life you guys it always used
to make me nervous just sharing such
imperfections in my life because any
time you share your imperfections you
definitely feel a little bit more
vulnerable and a little bit more at risk
for getting hate and things but getting
the love from you guys and just hearing
that you guys love when I share those
real-life moments and help see you feel
like you are not alone in your own life
that is what makes me so so happy I feel
like at this point I am just thankful to
be able to share these imperfections
with you guys and just have you guys
accept them and still support me in this
just knowing that we are all coming to
the table and nobody is perfect but we
are all there for each other and that
just makes me so incredibly grateful for
this community I didn’t even realize I
was gonna go off and a whole thing about
this but really I am just so so thankful
for you guys
[Music]
every
[Music]
[Music]
if you guys missed my vlog where I
talked about my foot being broke this is
like you totally can’t see it can’t
really do this one here I’m gonna insert
picture right here to show you where my
foot was broken in case we didn’t see
that vlog you obviously can’t shut you
and hit it and I have like all the
things and cameras and all that stuff so
anyway we’re almost done
[Music]
every
[Music]
so once I was done tidying up Kyle’s
office that was the last area in the
main living space before I moved on to
our bedroom I just wanted to get the
floors done I think Kyle has maybe
vacuumed our whole floor like once
during this time otherwise we have been
running our little robot vacuum a lot
and while the robot vacuums are really
awesome they definitely don’t get the
floors quite as well as a handheld
vacuum just with a person behind it
controlling it and so I really wanted to
make sure to get a really good vacuum on
the floors and just make sure to get
everything off the floors and then I
also as much as you guys know I hate
mopping I wanted to go ahead and just
mop the entire floor also because I feel
like this is something that it probably
looks like our floors were actually
pretty clean and I totally actually
forgot because I was going to get an up
close for you guys and show you how
disgustingly dirty our floors were but I
totally spaced it until I was like
halfway done and at that point it wasn’t
really worth showing you guys but our
floors had sticky stuff on them there
was like this coloring from something
green that had fallen on him I have no
idea what that was there was some red
stuff on the floor there was just tons
of dirt and dog hair and cat hair and
dust and just all the things so it
definitely needed a really really good
solid vacuuming and then it also really
needed a good mopping so I am just using
my shark vacuum that you guys know I
love and always rave about and then I’m
also just using my cloth aqua spray mop
but this is my favorite mop just because
it works so incredibly well and it
really takes most of the work out of
mopping of course you still have to walk
around mopping but you don’t have to
fill a bucket water or anything and then
also the pads that you use are all
reusable and so you’re not having to
constantly be buying new pads or
anything I just love this month
[Music]
you wanna chew I don’t taste it Thurston
overdressed when I split shoot me a
break
[Music]
in up before it tender and
[Music]
[Music]
so moving into my bedroom I knew that
the first thing I wanted to do in here
was to clean my sheets and just change
them out I think I’ve changed my sheets
like maybe once during this whole time
that I’ve had my broken foot it’s just
been something that’s been really
challenging to do obviously being on
crutches most this time and then it’s
something that Kyle does a lot of things
around the house but changing the sheets
is not really one of them it’s not
something that bothers him to sleep in
sheets for a few weeks so it was
definitely bugging me and I was so so
excited to get new sheets on the bed and
you better believe I have the biggest
smile on my face when I get a chrome to
the bed later that night and just feel
the nice crisp sheets it’s always one of
my favorite little pleasures away
[Music]
me
[Music]
so I got these shirts from Walmart com I
will try to link them down below as long
as they are not sold out but you guys
will have to let me know have you seen
Tiger King have you seen one episode
part of an episode did you binge the
entire series Kyle and I totally binge
tit and we started with one episode I
think we finished all of them in like
two days we stayed up way too late doing
him so whenever I found these shirts I
had to grab them I just figured this
would be such a funny thing for Kyle and
I to have these shirts and it would
totally remind us of this time in
quarantine and just all the craziness
that has been surrounding this crazy
time I don’t think my nightstand has
ever been this crazy but with my foot
being broken it’s just become like my
catch-all in the place that I just gonna
keep things so time to get this bad boy
under control
[Music]
to think you wouldn’t be sorry
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
getting closer to just be
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I got the cutest little plant I have one
in one of these for so long it’s the
plie plant I think it’s PIL ei I think
the thing said but how adorable is this
I got it from the website called the SIL
they just have like the cutest months
now so gotta get it in this pot I love
it so much giving it a new home today
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
can you tell you it feels so good to
have this cleared off I don’t think it’s
been completely cleared off since before
since would be like the day or two
before I broke my foot it just was not
high enough on my priority to get over
here but it’s clear now and it’s like so
peaceful I love it
[Music]
nothing more to say let’s just waste
away my time is all we need the bitter
truth the face
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
we run away
[Music]
[Music]
okay I just finished my bedroom it’s
actually about dinnertime now my foot is
kind of hurting me a lot not even my
broken foot my other folks I’ve been
having to like just support myself with
that but mostly so I will do the base of
I think I’m gonna try the basement
actually tomorrow because I need to rest
but it looks so good okay so the boys
and I just got back inside
normally when Amanda’s filming we
normally go outside and take care of
projects this time we were working on
the camper but we clean windows clean up
the yard whatever it is we got to do it
just helps stay out of the way why
Amanda’s filming so we came back inside
and we came to the basement and I
noticed it’s kind of dirty
Amanda’s foot is still broken as I’m
sure you can see from the beginning part
of this video she’s upstairs right now
so instead of having her do this I
thought it would be good idea if the
boys night just cleaned up down here
there’s not a whole lot of work to do
let me flip your round and show you see
we got close we got pillows we got a
bunch of toys that need to be picked up
the boys have been going kind of nuts
down here so it shouldn’t take too long
pick it up vacuum it let’s boost it up
make it look nice I think she’ll
appreciate it a lot
okay all right that sounds good so you
pick up all the garbage and put it in
the garbage you pick up the clothes and
put them where they go okay and you do
the couch and then help with clothes
I’ll back you right
[Music]
[Music]
speaking
[Music]
I can break
[Music]
some bisque was such a sweet thing I was
so blown away that Kyle and the boys
decided to do this Kyle knew that I was
planning to come down here and film
cleaning the basement but he knew that I
had just worked so hard on cleaning the
entire house and like he said usually if
he’s home he will just kind of hang out
with the boys and they will just tackle
some other projects that they have going
on just so that I can really focus on
filming the video because it definitely
takes a lot of extra time to film a
cleaning video versus just cleaning the
house but when I went downstairs to
clean the basement and film it and I saw
it was completely cleaned he told me
what he had done and I was just so
grateful that one he had decided to
clean it with the boys for me but two he
also went ahead and filmed it for you
guys and I just thought that was super
cool so I am just gonna give him a quick
little shout out here because I’m
seriously so thankful that he does those
sweet things for me it’s just those
little things like this that just means
so so much so Kyle actually went ahead
and ended this video for me but I wanted
to say thank you so much for being here
and especially if you were staying till
the end that just means so much to me I
am so so thankful for you guys I hope
that you enjoyed this video and I hope I
gave you all the motivation that you are
needing today and if you are not already
a part of the family be sure that you go
ahead and subscribe it is completely
free and it just helps you get notified
when I share new content I hope you guys
have the most amazing day and I will see
you in the next one bye guys
[Music]
[Music]
all right so we did it it didn’t take
super long as you can see it turn kind
of more into play time than it did
anything else but at least we tried to
help out where we could hopefully the
footage is good and you guys will see it
on the video that would be great but
thanks again for coming with us and
we’ll see you on the next one
[Music]
