you are in for some serious cleaning motivation today i'm going to be speed cleaning all over my home you're going to see me cleaning floors washing bedding washing pillows washing windows inside and outside cleaning some super muddy window tracking i'm gonna be deep cleaning carpets deep cleaning my mattress and so much more more so this was day one say hi to my twins emery is on the left addison is on the right and they were eating lunch and what i like to do before they go down for their nap because that's when i get moving and get cleaning i like to kind of do a pre-workout and i know i've talked about this before but like a pre-cleaning workout you know so what i was planning on doing was going around picking things up off of the floors and the countertops because you know when if you've ever cleared like your countertops in your kitchen or the floors in your living room if it was really messy then you instantly kind of feel feel motivated and you just want to keep going so i've noticed that if i get started before nap just do something small have them in their high chairs while they're eating a snack or lunch or maybe some small activity and i can just do something small so as soon as i lay them down i don't go sit on the couch i get moving that little pre-cleaning workout before they go down for their nap motivates me to keep going so i just got started by picking things up off of the floors and the countertops and then when they go down for their nap i was going to get started in our bedroom and wait till you see the surprise that i found when we lifted up our bed [Applause] [Music] so i'm using the jaws granite cleaner on my countertops and then the jaws kitchen degreaser on my stovetop and then the mrs myers multi-surface spray on the high chairs and the kitchen table and if you guys don't know i'm kind of going around every room in my house and really focusing each week on one room and just deep cleaning it so you know cleaning carpets if it needs to be done moving furniture vacuuming behind furniture cleaning windows window tracking baseboards and all of that stuff that i don't always get to in those rooms you know i tend to focus more on the living room in the kitchen but not on our master bedroom under my bed or behind furniture and i know you guys keep saying that oh i deep clean every inch of my house but you'll see apparently i had forgotten to remove my bed and clean under that periodically and it's not entirely my own fault because it's not an easy bed that you can just move you guys will see what i mean you can't just pick it up or scoot it out of the way there the supports that hold up the bed they you you like it's a pain to move so you can't even vacuum under there just because of how far it goes down to the ground so i had never cleaned under there and our cat which we no longer have unfortunately he passed away about a month ago but he liked to lay under there i guess we didn't know about it and there was so much cat fur and unfortunately cat puke matted into the carpet so today i'm focusing on the bedroom and then earlier in the day i had gotten started by washing our bedding and i was planning on washing it all washing the mattress well not in the washing machine but deep cleaning the mattress washing the mattress cover the pillows because we're spring cleaning i wanted to do it all [Music] later on in this video i'm going to talk a little bit more about some behind the scenes youtube stuff kind of more of the back end youtube stuff so if that's something that interests you make sure you stick around we will get a little bit chatty about youtube later on in the video but you guys say you like learning a little bit more about me and just you know you like hearing about the cleaning but you want to know more about just random chats i guess so i was i heard i saw this somewhere the other day people were talking about weird like random weird things about themselves and i start thinking about weird random attributes of jamie and i'm gonna share them with you guys so number one i wear socks to bed i know that's crazy i wear socks to bed even in the summer i always have i always will i just like wearing my socks number two i always have to have lotion on my entire body when i get out of the shower i have to put lotion on i cannot stand it if i don't have lotion on my body it drives me crazy i put lotion on from head to toe love my lotion i cannot stand skin that doesn't have lotion on it third i don't like it when wet hair sits on my shoulders or my back so when i wash my hair in like if i get a shower i always dry it with a hair dryer if i go swimming i honestly try not to get my hair wet because i cannot it's like nails on a chalkboard i hate the feeling of wet hair on my back i always have so if i do go swimming get my hair wet then i'll throw it up in a ponytail or a bun but i cannot stand wet that wet hair feeling it drives me crazy so i just think those are so random and really weird but i wanted to share them with you guys so if you have any weird random facts about yourself feel free to share them in the comment [Music] can't section hide no one's gonna steal our time again we don't have to say much let our lives touch i will stay with you until the end meet me [Music] how totally gross is this matted cat fur on the carpet and you can tell exactly where our cat pretty much laid every single day and i'm sorry i hope this is not too gross for you um he probably had hair balls in there and threw up and we didn't even know about it this is honestly really embarrassing for you guys to see um i also had a lot of random stuff under there a tennis ball a package of animal crackers a sleeping mask i think there was some of the vic's sore throat spray like a empty bottle under there so you better believe i'm gonna be cleaning under here more frequently and i know you guys can't really tell but those wooden slats that go across the bed frame under there there's supports there's probably about four per slat wood slat and if you just try to like move the bed they wiggle i have no idea if that makes sense so basically the only way for me to clean the bed is to remove the box springs and then the mattress which i cannot physically move the mattress myself so luckily mike was able to help me out but i'm gonna be doing this way more frequently so it doesn't get like that um and then this is just where dog fur and dust and probably my nightly snacks that i eat in bed like popcorn and crumbs collected so pretty gross [Music] [Music] [Music] how are you guys doing i like checking in to see how you guys are doing in life are you hanging in there if you are new i appreciate you for coming to jamie's journey and for being here i hope you feel a part of the community and i hope i can make your life a little bit better in some way whether it's giving you motivation or seeing someone who has a messy house and you know is just trying to get by with life but either way we're friends hanging out and that's why i kind of like talking about random stuff because we're friends just talking about random stuff and i'm grateful for you guys i'm glad that you're here and if you're not subscribed i would love for you guys to subscribe and join my journey [Music] i [Music] [Music] [Music] so that area where our cat chase had laid the carpet was so matted down and so many of you guys tell me i need to get a carpet rake which i don't have yet um but i went and found an old comb and i was using that to kind of rake up the area and then i went over it multiple times with the bissell carpet cleaner and honestly when i was all done i don't even think it looked 100 but if the bissell carpet cleaner was not going to get it back to normal i don't know what will but with the carpet cleaner there is a max clean a deep clean and an express clean so you can choose which one you want to do i you guys ask me all all of the time how long it takes me or how long does it take for the carpet to dry so depends on what setting you have um and also i don't always show this on camera but when i'm done cleaning the carpet sometimes i'll go back over the carpet and suck up like you don't have to keep pushing out water you can just keep sucking up the water sometimes i do that two or three times after i'm done cleaning it just to make sure i have as much water out of the carpet as possible and that cuts down you know on the drying time but with the express um clean i mean the carpets i think were cleaned and are dried in less than two hours but i did do the max clean for that one spot just because i knew that that was kind of a gross area [Music] i'm just trying to get by i don't know how you do it [Music] trying to keep you up my mind i can't hold to it you make it easy but every time i fall back again [Music] i think i had said this earlier in the video but i had never cleaned these carpets they've never been deep cleaned and it was very apparent um that they had never been cleaned because when i was done the water in the tank was the dirtiest and darkest i have ever seen other than when i cleaned our cars out last summer which you expect mats of a car to be pretty dirty you know so these carpets were pretty dirty and they're what shocked me the most there were so many chunks of fur that was pulled up from the carpet like way more than any other time i've cleaned carpets in my house and i remember this happened when i was when i cleaned the living room carpet in the basement carpet for the first time i remember big chunks of fur um and yeah that's all that was pulled up from under the bed how crazy is that just just from vacuuming under the bed not the whole bedroom but that's how much i pulled out using the vacuum that got embedded into the carpet you don't realize how crazy and how dirty it was under there until you see it like that [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you guys got mad at me totally in a joking way when i said that i had cleaned an area that i had never cleaned before and you guys were like oh jamie you clean every area in your home you can't say that but these window trackings i'd seriously never cleaned before and it was apparent there was they were such a pain to clean because the dirt in there it was almost so caked on it was more muddy it was more like heavy mud than just dirt it was very heavy and thick thick so it wasn't just dirt in there and i don't know why usually in the front of the house it's more of like dusty dirt in here and then the back of the house it's more like mud um i don't know but anyways i use my bissell hand steamer to loosen everything up and then i kept going over and over it with paper towels because there was so much dirt in there and then i used my aunt fanny's cleaning vinegar when i had gotten as much as i could out of there i used the ant fanny's cleaning vinegar spray to wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and that combo did the trick there's there still was some dirt and mud in the corners i just couldn't get out and i think with the window tracking it's near impossible to get into every little crack i tried my best but i do have something else that might work for deep in those window tracking cracks i do have to get something to try it out so stay tuned for that because i want to try this out with some other window trackings in our house [Music] [Music] so like i said i was washing all of the bedding typically i just do the sheets and the one blanket but i was cleaning the mattress pad the pillows i was doing it all and in the past i don't know maybe year i had been using or washing our sheets with um bleach not washing it with bleach but i had added bleach to the washer and i've been having my my skin's been freaking out a lot some skin reactions so i didn't know if maybe that was it or not maybe the bleach was being too harsh at least on my skin here in the winter so i switched to the molly suds oxygen whitener when i wash our sheets and i get that from grove collaborative and it's been doing the trick [Music] [Music] so talking about more of the back end of youtube stuff so i recently dropped a video a month so my schedule is posting every sunday and then every other thursday it used to be every thursday but i've noticed that since my channel has grown and gotten bigger a lot of little things start to add up so i think one of the biggest things is the amount of comments i get now the amount of emails the amount of comments i get on instagram i mean on days that videos go live and probably the day or two afterwards i spend easily at least and i am not exaggerating three hours i mean over the course of the day answering comments on youtube and instagram um and obviously the more i post or the more the bigger i get the more comments i get and it's so important to me that i'm answering your comments um and videos so just to give you guys an idea so when i film so if you look at today's video i filmed over the course of two days it was probably around seven hours of actual cleaning time but in reality with me filming it probably adds on at least two hours of time because you're moving the camera around you're trying to get different angles you're stopping to make for sure the camera got that like clip or whatever so it adds on cleaning time and then on top of that editing so editing this video that you're seeing took me um i think between 10 and 12 hours to edit so that's so crazy and i just found myself i just noticed this like i'm not doing anything different right now than i was doing six months ago or a year ago or even two years ago but if you have a channel that has a thousand subscribers you're obviously not getting the amount of comments or emails um or there's just like little things you know that i've learned to do over time that i think help make my videos better quality and that's all stuff you learn with time and so i've noticed specifically recently that i was working the kids would go to bed at 7 30 um eight o'clock and then i would start working on youtube stuff and every night i would be working until 11 30 every single night and i don't want to i'm not complaining you guys i'm not because i love it like this is my hobby this is what i get to do and i love it but i realized that i had stopped reading i had stopped watching tv um like other than working out four to five days a week for half an hour that was literally the only thing i was doing for myself because i was constantly doing youtube and even though i love it you know i mean i'm not supporting my family through youtube mike has a wonderful job that supports our family so i'm able to go down a video you know i have the luxury of being able to do that because i'm not supporting our family um so um yeah i don't know youtube like cleaning videos take a really really really long time and it's just important to me that i can keep that communication open with you guys and answering your comments so that's why i went down a video you guys have been so supportive of that but if you guys have any questions on youtube like the back end of things or something you're curious about let me know and i can start answering those questions in the videos [Music] once we had moved and cleaned under the furniture i was able to to do the rest of the room and again i i was cleaning the carpets with the express setting on the carpet cleaner so the carpets don't get very wet at all and i had a fan going the ceiling fan going in the room i had cracked open the windows and the furniture doesn't sit directly on the floor so totally okay um and if you guys want to see or say hi to my girls they will be at the end of the video saying hi so after this long day of cleaning i'd actually closed out the video because i thought i was going to be done but then two days later i ended up doing some more cleaning so i figured i'd throw that in the video um but i had already closed out the video on this one day so just so it made sense with the flow of the video i put that closing out portion with the girls at the very end of this video so they're wearing the same clothes that they were wearing earlier in the day you'll see that but i hope that makes sense i didn't expect to continue cleaning two days later but i did and i threw it in there so you can say hi to the girls a little bit later [Music] how gross is that water it's so dark and the chunks of the fur in there it's insane it's so gross but when i am done i am gonna go back into the bedroom and i wanted to clean the fan um we have a vent in there that's near the ceiling that i wanted to clean and i wanted to deep clean our mattress our fan actually wasn't too dirty at all i just cleaned that so it wasn't dusty but i wanted to get up by the light and get into all of the grooves but i was using my hand vacuum to do that but i just kind of wanted to finish out the rest of the bedroom by doing those few things and then cleaning our mattress i was going to clean it and then also disinfect it [Music] you know you're beautiful [Music] okay so to clean the bed i just sprinkled some baking soda all over the bed um you can even add some essential oils if you want to but sprinkle the baking soda all over you don't mean spring sprinkle as much as you want don't be afraid of sprinkling too much and i rubbed it into the mattress and then you just want to let it sit for at least an hour as long as you can it was kind of getting late for us so i didn't let it sit as long as i wanted it to and then i got our shop vac from the garage and vacuumed it all up i've read a lot of things about how bad it is to vacuum up baking soda with a vacuum that it can ruin the vacuum so you want to be careful um and i just wanted to err on the side of caution and use the shop vac because we have one um and then the other part with the mattress is you want to be careful with if you have any stains you don't want to get it too wet you don't want to put a lot of water on your mattress i do have some self tanner stains which i have no idea how it made it through all of the layers of the sheets and the mattress pad that i want to try to tackle at some point but i didn't have time today so i'll do that another day but then i also wanted to disinfect the mattress and i was using some isopropyl or rubbing alcohol isopropyl alcohol kind of the same thing and i just i didn't spray too much on there just kind of misted it on the mattress and i let it sit for a little bit it serves as a disinfectant and then i also read that it can propel or repel bed bugs so so it is day two that you're seeing me clean it is nap time so i'm gonna get to work i don't really have a ton i want to do today but i am going to do some things down here and then go upstairs and work up there and hopefully get a lot done but hopefully you guys are still here ready for some more motivation and some chats you guys letting me know that you like hearing more just not like you like hearing about the cleaning but also non-cleaning content it's been kind of more fun for me and my voiceovers to kind of share just you know more chatting with you um more like if we were just sitting down having a cup of coffee and chatting back and forth so that's kind of fun so stick around for more chats and more cleaning [Music] so this was another nap time clean and i was planning on doing some things down here and then moving upstairs and cleaning some bathrooms but you're going to see me using my new tenco cordless vacuum and they did send it to me and i've been using it for a while and it's something that i really want to share with you i think it's a great option if you're in the market for a cordless vacuum i was thinking about this the other day because you guys probably see me use multiple vacuums and i get messages all of the time people asking me what vacuum do you recommend and i've said this before about other cleaners or just other cleaning supplies but i don't think there's one vacuum that i can recommend to everyone i think certain vacuums are better for certain people and their situa their situations so the best way to kind of explain this is okay take my situation my kids my dog my house and compare it to my parents so if my mom came to me and said hey i need a new vacuum what vacuum would you recommend well personally my go-to top vacuum for my house is my shark apex uplight the cord corded vacuum however i would not recommend that to my mom because my parents have a much smaller house it's all on one floor they have almost a majority of hardwood flooring they only have carpets in the bedroom and they don't have pets they don't have kids they don't have a lot of traffic people coming in and out and they really prefer something that's super lightweight as lightweight as possible so even though i think the shark is my top vacuum it's the one that i love but it's because i mostly have carpets i have a big shedding dog i have three kids we have a lot of traffic in and out of our house does that make sense so i think it's it really depends on your specific situations i'll tell you right now that i don't think this tenco cordless vacuum is better than the dyson i don't think the dyson is better than the tinco they both have different different attributes that can be appealing to different people and their different situations so for example the tenco only has one power level the dyson has two it has an extended run and a max run the tinco one day i vacuumed my entire house all three floors the basement the entire basement the entire upstairs living room kitchen bathrooms literally every room in my house and it was still going it was not dead at that point there was still power my dyson cannot do that nowhere even close especially on max suction the tinco is also super lightweight i think it weighs less than three pounds i don't know how much my dyson weighs but it definitely weighs more than that so the tinco is lightweight it claims that it has 70 minutes of vacuum time and it costs less than the dyson however i love them i love another scenario is you know i really like my dyson um because if i need something just quick and i don't want to deal with the shark and the cord because i have hardwood downstairs and carpet i like to be able to use my dyson because it has the low suction that i can use in the kitchen on the hardwood floors and then the max suction for my carpets because that's truly what my carpet needs so this is my long-winded way of saying is the tinco a great vacuum yes it is is it better than the dyson is it better than the shark no but do you guys know what i'm trying to say here it just they all have different attributes um if you if you need something that is lightweight that weighs or that is less money than the dyson you need something that runs um long the tin coat also has a trigger so you can click it over and you don't have to hold down to keep vacuuming so especially if you're vacuuming the whole house you know when i was doing that i just pulled the trigger and then i didn't have to keep holding down the button to keep it going but again i really like my dyson because that max suction feature is there which i think is really important that i need for my carpets and the tinco doesn't have that like testing out new products for you be for you guys because i know everyone's situation is different and i also want you guys to know that um i don't just accept every product i get i'll tell you right now that i reject 99 of things because at the end of the day it's just things you know but if it's something i think i might be interested in i do some research i do a lot of research i see what people say about the company i look at reviews online and then i also look at okay well could you guys people watching my videos could you benefit from this and i really liked how lightweight this was i liked the long running time and then the trigger so you don't have to hold a button down the two biggest complaints i get from you guys about the dyson is the battery life and how crappy it is and then the price and this one is you know cheaper so because of the positive reviews about the company and the vacuums and all of that i'm like you know what i think i would really like to check this out and give it a good review for you guys so um so again my shark vacuum eyes is my number one vacuum the one that i love because i have a lot of carpets in my house but if my mom asked me i would not recommend the shark apex uplight to my mom because i don't love it for my hardwood floors i use it sometimes on my hardwood floors but it's not my favorite vacuum for hardwood floors so i hope all of that makes sense um and i hope that when i feature a product on my channel you guys know that there's been some extensive research done to make for sure it's a good product [Music] [Music] is [Music] so what you're seeing me do here on day two upstairs this didn't take me all afternoon or all nap time to do i had started out and got some things done um and then i was downstairs doing you know some other things getting dinner started and all of that and i did some relaxing as well but then when the twins woke up i really wanted to tackle their room because it always is a disaster so um and i was done in the bathrooms and then i went and popped into the room um they were downstairs with mike so i was able to quickly pick up their room and then i wanted to run the room button there before i was done um and make sure you guys stick around because you'll get to see when the girls had said bye after we had finished up on day one um that was the day that the bedroom was all done and the girls were in there jumping around on the bed and it was really cute and they wanted [Music] enjoy [Music] trying to find some love in this crazy world i feel like i was never hurt [Music] all i wanted is [Applause] [Music] wish that someone could say it'll all be okay [Music] it is much later and we are getting ready for bed feels good and it smells good in here too so we're gonna get these girls ready for bed hi say hi hello my name's avery [Music] go [Music] [Music] hey friends i'm glad you're here and if you are brand new to my channel hello i am truly glad that you are here i hope you leave this video feeling positive i hope you leave feeling motivated and inspired and i just hope that you feel like you belong here because you absolutely do if you are a returning viewer thank you for taking time out of your busy busy day to watch my video so in today's video i'm going to be doing so much so much speed cleaning cleaning my whole house over two days on this first day i got really lucky because i pretty much had the whole day like most of the whole day to clean uninterrupted and i'm gonna say that again i got the whole day to clean uninterrupted isn't that unheard of as a mom um so my parents well my dad is retired my mom is not retired yet but she is a nurse and she recently had foot surgery um like i guess not super recently but in april so she is off work through july and by this point she doesn't have her walking boot cast on anymore she can get around pretty good and since my dad's there and since she's home off of work because her job can be pretty demanding as a nurse she wanted the girls as much as possible while she has this extra time and even though she's like slowly healing like i said my dad's there they have a pool they actually just got a pool put in my girls love going over there so she has been asking to have them like one or two days a week and it's just been awesome like i think it works out for everyone because the girls love it they love being over there they get to spend time with my parents and then i also get a little bit of time to get things done so that was what i was doing here on day one trying to deep clean my living room and get as much as i could done [Music] oh go and let the match be miss out on the good days [Music] we are catching [Music] oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] fire fire [Music] so i am totally taking the lazy way out here originally i planned on cleaning the carpet in that front room in the main part of the living room and oh this is what i got from this is what i found from under the sectional a fork and some snacks and some crumbs which honestly it really wasn't as bad as i expected it to be but anyways i had originally planned on cleaning the carpet in that front room but i just ended up having so much that i wanted to get done on this day that i just kind of had to choose what to focus on so i'm just going to focus on the main part of the living room and i will get to that front part another day i know it really doesn't make sense but also the problem with that front room and our sectional is when we move all of the furniture out into the kitchen and in the front hallway we start running out of places to put the furniture and i mean we obviously have to still walk down that hallway and back and forth and get upstairs our sectional is a lot bigger than our old set of furniture so the old set of furniture we could fit everything and then every piece of furniture but now with the coffee table which we didn't have last time i clean the carpets we have a bigger console table and then the sectional is bigger and we just it's really hard to fit everything and all of the toys in the kitchen and down the hallway so it's almost like well i didn't have all of the time anyways and i just i didn't want to just get down the living room since i had the free time so i'll just focus on the main part of the living room today and get to that front part another day but i started out cleaning the blinds i went in and back vacuumed them first with my dyson v8 animal so it comes apart to be used as a hand vac and i attached an attachment horse hair brush attachment that i got off of amazon that will be linked in the description but i like to vacuum before i dust especially on things that are really dusty and then i went in with a wood cleaner to clean the blinds and then i was going to clean the windows before getting ready to clean the carpets [Music] where you go i can't make you stay so we live for the night and we fade in the rhythm so cute to pretend we both [Music] [Applause] to clean my carpets i'm using the bissell proheat pro pet pro pro heat carpet cleaner i actually have two carpet cleaners and this is like the top one i love this one but it's also expensive so um this one does i think the best job even though they're they are close in how well they perform but this one has an attachment that i use on stairs furniture and my car so i always suggest this one first but not everybody has a budget for an expensive carpet cleaner so i also have the hoover that is much smaller much lighter um it does a really really good job i don't think as good as the bissell but it still does like very very close but it's also a lot cheaper so i think that's great too but anyways for the living room because this is the main area in which we live a lot of traffic with the dog and the kids i always use this one in the living room and i often get asked how often i clean the carpets and i think it just depends like just because i clean my carpets x amount of times doesn't mean that you should too i think it depends on like do you have pets do you have kids i mean like someone like my parents who doesn't have kids or pets they're not gonna have to clean their carpets as much as someone like me who has a big dog and three kids so i think i've been averaging about three times a year i think maybe once i did it four times but um like i aim for at least three times a year [Music] you were stealing my heart away i just couldn't stay i've been stuck in the past for too long [Music] i must have been in my most recent video the one that went up on thursday it's a nighttime speed clean and plan with me i had asked you guys um to ask me questions so i could chat with you here in the voiceovers just like a way to chat between the cleaning just a way to talk about everyday stuff between the cleaning and a very popular question i got was what do i do for self-care i hope you guys can relate to me with this but self-care i think as a mom and i guess maybe i don't want to totally single out moms here but maybe even just for parents in general self-care can be really difficult the way i look at it is i always try to say that if you look at a pie chart of my week or mike's week let's say you have to divvy up the time that has to be given like i have to take care of my kids um mike has to work you know um he has to spend time well it doesn't have to spend time with me but then you have time that you devote to your um your friends your extended family like daily stuff that has to be done like grocery shopping or running errands or cleaning the house all of that kind of like when you look at it and it's like okay well what time do i have for self-care sometimes it doesn't really you don't have a lot of time left for self-care and i have found that with three kids i almost have to create that time like i have to make a conscious effort of carving out that time and it's not even just me it's mike as well so um i think carving that time out is really really important and i even think that so like for mike he loves to golf golfing is his thing he loves baseball and golf but right now being 35 year old man golfing is his main hobby right now so he golfs on thursday nights with a group of friends just nine holes which you know he would love for it to be a full 18 but he has to like do what works for the family right now so he golf uh nine holes every thursday with a group of friends and he he like they make a tea time so he like they car that time out and i'll get into what i do more specifically for my self-care in a minute but i first want to show you this new product that i'm going to try out it's called zep walk foaming wall cleaner and i've heard people talking about it and i knew that our walls were pretty dinged up and dirty in the living room so i was like this will be the perfect time to see how well it works because we had a lot of scrapes and crayon and just stuff on the walls i wanted to test it out and see how well it worked so i will tell you that mike had walked downstairs and he didn't even know i cleaned the walls and he was like wait a minute did you clean the walls and i said yes he could notice just by glancing in living room so this is a really really really good cleaner i will tell you that i highly recommend it the only downfall has a pretty strong scent it smells very chemically but i mean sometimes you just need a good cleaner and that's going to happen sometimes so just wanted to warn you guys the scent is pretty strong [Music] then let me go let me go if you cannot [Music] okay so self-care i don't know if a lot of you guys would agree with me here but i will admit that i probably struggle to find a true hobby i think it's just a little bit easier for men like most of the men in my life they have some type of sport they play some physical activity whether it's baseball softball golf tennis soccer basketball bowling something like that where they they do something physical but a lot of the women in my life i think have a hard time finding a true hobby and i would say that working out and being fit would probably be my hobby i would say that there's about three things i specifically do that make me happy that make me feel like me that takes me out of like the everyday stresses of my life number one is hanging out with girlfriends i specifically have a couple of girlfriends in my neighborhood who also have kids avery's age so we'll get together in the summer let the girls play outside maybe we'll meet up just for like a half an hour or an hour have a drink on the porch and just talk like talk about our lives going to dinner or brunch or something like that so i think connecting with girlfriends that doesn't involve the rest of my family is something that i do and it's important to me um and something else that i do that has kind of been really big and talking about carving that time out like making that time mike and i have actually made this change not too long ago so on the weekends you know like our mornings would be busy parenting tag teaming like taking care of the girls and then lunch would come and we would be you know someone would be making lunch and cleaning up and taking care of the girls and all of that and then the twins would go down for their nap and then i would go and work out in the basement and he would go to the gym and then we we would be done working out and it would be pretty much the time that the girls would get up and then the busyness busyness of the day would start all over again and i just realized that what i was really craving was relaxation silence like just being still so i was just like hey do you mind if i start working out at like 10 or 11 so i'm done by the time when i don't work out for two hours but like just like hey do you mind i'm gonna go like work out at 11 30. um can you handle lunch clean up all that and then what when they go down for a nap i get to just relax and he's like oh sure no problem you know he golfs on thursday nights he's like yep i got it no big deal so i've been working out before lunch and then they go down for a nap and like right now in the summer i will just sit outside in the sun and breathe in the silence and it's just so nice usually avery's just relaxing like we have her relax a little bit at that time or in the winter i'll just like watch a tv show or something but being able to just sit and be still and think and not feel like i have to do something has made a world of a difference like something so simple has really i don't know changed like it energizes me honestly so that's something i've been doing the third thing that i've been doing is just that i do for self-care is watching a tv show that i can just like get lost in something like real housewives or i don't know something on netflix or hulu something that i can just forget about everything in my life and just get lost in or audiobooks so i know those aren't like too crazy but i just you know that's where i'm at in my life right now and those things truly make me happy remind me who i am and energize me but let me know what you do for self-care and let me know if you think it's also hard to make time um and i'm someone who has a very supportive spouse and who is around a lot so i know it's still hard for me to carve that time out for self-care so i can only imagine people with different circumstances but let me know what you do for self-care [Music] [Applause] i am using the resolve foaming carpet cleaner so it's a foaming carpet cleaner on my grout and it's just like a lazy way to clean your grout because you just spray it on there let it sit sometimes i will scrub the grout other times i don't and like i said it's just like a lazy way of cleaning the grout so um that's what i'm using [Music] the things that we'll do [Music] [Applause] okay real life moment here i was trying to make cleaning fun dancing we had some good tunes playing on here i put on a wig i was dancing and look at avery's face i will admit you know it's hard because you want to ride that line of like i want to ride that line of being real with you guys but i also like don't want to expose my kids too much you know like i don't want to embarrass them um and oh yes that's an old sippy cup so who knows how long that had been down there but yes milk was hardened in there so that's just wonderful but you know it's like one of those situations where avery has bad days and she's not always in the mood to clean up like all of all other kids and she didn't not want to clean up this night she was not in the mood i tried to make it fun she was not having it and i don't know she was tired um she had like i told you my parents have a pool it's been very hot and humid here so she was just tired and that's typically not her i mean she gets tired and moody of course but like for her to be this cranky when i'm trying to dance like that's not her so she was just not having it she was really tired and i don't know if you know you moms out there who have kids like in the beginning of the summer they're just not used to being in that heat in the sun and being outside as much so they get tired really easily i've noticed it with all three kids but she was not having it her mood did turn around a little bit later but we were cleaning up the basement and then we were going to go clean her room and it was just something that i really needed her to help me i thought that was important even though she was not in the mood but i don't want to embarrass her too much but yeah she was not in the cleaning mood which i totally get [Music] hit you up i'm on the other side i miss you i miss you i take you off i came me way too strong cannot keep it low-key [Music] [Music] so this honestly ended up being a long day of cleaning for me but i had the free time so i needed to get things done and i promise you that not every day that the girls have been going to my parents i'm spending my time cleaning i am doing things for myself but i was able to get a lot done this particular day so this was much later in the night obviously the kids had come home from my parents avery and i were cleaning up mike was putting the girls to bed and avery and i were just trying to get the stuff done that we needed to get done and then she was gone going to bed and hopefully for a good night's sleep but stay tuned for some more cleaning on day two where the girls were home so i had to try to clean when i could work around their napping my schedule oh god have i [Music] lost you [Music] [Music] that i need you but you're [Music] avery's room always drives me crazy just because i feel like there's so many little little toys but it's just one of those rooms i do this with the garage as well you just have to learn to let some rooms be and that's how i kind of feel with her room it's like she has a lot of clutter a lot of just stuff that i i don't love because i don't like clutter but she's also sick so i let it go but it's just really nice to come in here periodically and make it look a little bit better [Music] [Music] i keep on are you cute emery [Music] can you say hi hi hi [Music] are we is mommy gonna clean stay clean [Music] all right today i want to tackle the upstairs you better take a good nap are you going to take a good nap emery are you going to take a good nap addison no um anyways so i am going to clean up their room while they're in the beds and then hopefully and then hopefully i can get some of the upstairs cleaned up while they take a good nap she avery is at a friend's house i think they're outside playing um a neighborhood here in the neighborhood so i have some time during the nap to get things done then done say let's go let's do this can you say jamie's journey say jamie journey all right let's go oh say go go [Music] [Music] spend my coin for sure i'm gonna be myself or i could be someone else [Music] i'm gonna skip my breaks so my goal during this day was to tackle most of the upstairs so getting the bedroom done their bedroom done before i moved on and emery is in the backwards pajamas because she takes her clothes off so we put like a onesies about pajama on backwards so she can't take her clothes and diaper off anytime she's napping or goes to bed she takes it all off addison sometimes will sometimes it's just her shirt but for the most part she's fine so we don't have to change her but i was moving on to the laundry room um i was gonna fold this load of laundry later and just like wipe down the laundry room i was using my diy cleaner of one part rubbing alcohol one part water and about a fingernail size of dawn dish soap to wipe down the washer and the dryer vacuum and then i was going to disinfect the laundry sink because this is where i store my dirty cleaning cloths until i get a big enough load so i just like to go in with a disinfectant cleaner in the jaws like you can spray it you don't have you can wipe it if you want to but you don't have to wipe it so i usually just spray it and because it's the laundry sink i just kind of let it dry [Music] [Music] it's just what i do when i'm out so trying not to hold me down nothing can break me no no nothing can break me try not to hold me down [Music] i was cleaning the master bedroom and then the bathroom and i was using my steam up and i'll tell you guys this so i haven't really used my steam up in a couple of weeks and for no particular reason at all i just haven't and i like it's almost like when you take a break from using a particular cleaner and then you use it again you're like oh i forgot how much i love this that's how i felt with the steam mop it's one of those type of mops i think that i will always make sure i have i just specifically really like it on my ceramic tile which we have in our bathrooms and our laundry room and i just feel like they feel the cleanest after i steam mop them um i mean i like using it on my hardwood flooring but i feel like the old the oh cedar spin mop does a really good job on that particularly but i don't know there's just something about the way the ceramic tile feels after i get done steam mopping it nothing can break me no no nothing can break me [Music] [Music] [Music] we used to be so strong that picture perfect sky now if you guys missed my last video it was a nighttime like a two night speed clean with me and i also showed you how i plan out my week i've done this before but it's just i'm telling you how important it is to sit down and plan out your week and how much better you feel at the start of the week if you just take some time to plan out your week so i um always do it on a sunday night i do it after the kids go to bed because i'm not distracted and i always do it in my office so i'm not distracted by the tv so i go down i um like just take a look at what we have going on i talked to mike and say like are you do are you picking up the groceries am i oh do you want to do that then do you want like we kind of like talk about the week i look at what we have going on i make my my daily to-do list and i try to focus on maybe like between three and five things that i need to get done i think the hard part for me is i'm like a task master like i love making a list i love just like moving on to the next thing but where i'm at in my life right now i feel like the list is never ending and i could always not stop and sometimes i have to pull myself back and say jamie you have to stop for today you can't just keep cleaning you can't just keep editing you can't just keep doing this or that because like if i don't stop then i'm just always gonna be doing something and so going back to that self-care like i have to pull myself back so i try to focus on three to five things that need to be done on that particular day and then make my meal plan set the grocery list and just spending that like 20 minutes to maybe a half an hour just really clears my head and makes me ready for the upcoming week but i'll have that video linked below if you guys want to see it right [Music] [Music] so i was randomly using this micro band bathroom cleaner on on the countertops it's not my favorite cleaner i just like how it sanitizes and i just grabbed it because i was feeling something different than my jaws which is what i typically use in the bathroom but it does leave a little bit of a film on the countertop but not my favorite but still i like using it because it does a good job of sanitizing [Music] the last thing that i wanted to do was wipe down the walls and i feel like with the bathroom i feel like i'm always saying i feel like that's like one of my things you know those like phrases you say i say i feel like anyways you guys love my little phrases right um i feel like in the bathroom there's always water marks and this bathroom is pretty big especially because we have our closet in there it's pretty big and so it doesn't really even get steamy when we take a shower so but the water marks are still there so i wanted to try this foaming cleaner and it did a really good job i'm really impressed with this cleaner really really impressed [Music] [Music] silent treatment is what it feels like [Music] just be honest [Music] say it's over if it's over [Music] well guys i was just editing this is what i look like when i edit which isn't really that much different than when i clean sometimes i put on a little bit of makeup but anyways i'm editing and i realized that i never closed out the video because you guys saw in the clip when i was here in the bathroom cleaning the walls um the girls had gotten up and mike was getting them i think he was changing emery's diaper and addison came in and the night got away from us i think avery had a softball game so i totally forgot to close out the video so here i am to say i'm glad you're still here it just amazes me but you guys want to sit through a whole video of mine so thank you um there will be a new video up thursday so stay tuned for that one it's a fun one with a lot of like different type of stuff not just cleaning so make sure you stay tuned for that thank you for watching the whole video i hope i gave you some motivation and i hope you have a wonderful week i will see you guys next time bye [Music] all right guys it is finally warm enough to clean outside and in today's video i am going to be bringing you along three days of extreme speed cleaning outside and inside i'm going to be outside getting everything ready for the summer power washing washing windows from the outside and so much more i'll also be doing a lot of cleaning inside a lot of laundry motivation so let's get ready and let's do this [Music] [Applause] [Music] if you are brand new here and you've never been to jamie's journey hello i'm jamie obviously but i am glad you're here if you are a returning viewer thank you thank you thank you i love you guys you mean the world to me and i truly mean that when i say that so today you are in for some serious cleaning motivation i've been waiting to get outside waiting for it to get warm enough so i can clean outside so i'm going to be bringing you along three days of cleaning inside and outside in my house this was the first day it was the morning i just wanted to get our bedding going i was going to um get our put our bedding in the washing machine i was going to sprinkle some baking soda on the mattress and let it sit all day and then i was just going to go and pick up the bedroom while i had a few minutes to myself and then i was going to continue on the cleaning outside and in the kitchen and living room during nap time later in the afternoon [Music] [Music] spending every minute together i found it quite hard quite low [Music] so from time to time i like to clean my mattress and deodorize it as well i just sprinkle some baking soda on there and i let it sit for as long as i can so in this case pretty much all day long so that's what i that's why i wanted to do it first thing in the morning and just let it sit the baking soda really helps deodorize and clean the mattress with mattresses you want to be careful and you don't want to get too much water or you know water saturation on the mattress you have to be careful because moisture will get trapped under there so that's why i like to just use the baking soda let it sit and do its magic during the day [Music] me [Music] so something that i just wanted to talk with you guys about as i'm cleaning in last week's video um i had i did a giveaway um and i asked you guys what was something um that you're proud of yourself for so i just wanted to hear some of your accomplishments and i think we can all be our own worst critic right like we can be so hard on ourselves sometimes but we also need to recognize our own accomplishments and i had to ask you guys to share things that that you know that could be basic you know it could be something like you're proud of yourself for doing the laundry that day or making it through the day or it could be something huge that you're proud of yourself for and i absolutely loved reading all of your responses like it blew me away how amazing you guys are seriously absolutely amazing you guys i just i love the positivity of reading the responses and i love seeing that you're proud of yourself some of the stuff almost made me cry because i was just proud i know i keep saying that but so proud of you like some of you guys are just you're so proud of yourself for you know graduating high school or graduating college so many of you were happy to be sober some of you were happy to to break out of your anxiety or depression or recognize you know that you're depressed and get help um some of you guys were proud of yourself for breaking the cycle of abusive parents and i just i'm so proud of you guys and i love seeing all the positivity and i just i'm so proud of this strong community um so you know if you didn't answer in that video just think about what are you proud of and just think about it and it can be something small it could be something big you know some days we have the smaller things that we're proud of other days it's big but either way just make sure you're proud of yourself and you pat yourself on the back because life is hard and we need to recognize that we are strong people [Music] so like i said earlier here on day one i was just picking things up kind of doing my cleaning pre-workout in the kitchen and the living room wiping things down because when it because it was finally nice out during nap time i was actually waiting for it to warm up because it was way too cold in the morning so i was waiting for it to warm up so i could go outside and start cleaning it's been pretty chilly here in northwest ohio i think on mother's day it actually sleet like we had sleet so finally the sun was out it was warm enough to get outside [Music] is [Music] i was also so excited to bust out my power washer for the season i will have this model linked down below i think we just got it from lowe's or home depot but i was using it to spray down the front porch remove all of the stuff that had accumulated over the winter and the you know snow drifting and blowing onto our porch and get into all of the cracks on the porch and bricks and all of that and i was also going to clean the windows with my handy window cleaning tool [Music] how [Music] come home with me [Music] so to clean my windows i was just using cold water water from the hose and a little bit of dawn dish soap with this window window washing tool that has one side with a microfiber pad where you can scrub the window and i also um can scrub the window framing and then there's a little squeegee on the other side that i can go and squeegee the windows when i'm done and they always this tool always gets my windows nice and squeaky clean [Music] time [Music] actually if you guys follow me on instagram you probably saw me go on a little rant recently i was just complaining one day constantly i felt kind of bad but i was complaining because i think it was the day before i filmed this it was so cold outside and at this point in the season mid-may i am over the cold weather i want to wear shorts i want to feel the hot sun in my face i want a little bit of you know a tan i don't want to look pasty anymore i just want to be able to go outside and not have to put coats and hats on my kids and i'm just i'm over it at this point and it's actually kind of interesting because a local meteorologist just did a study on our weather and he was saying that they have noticed at least in this area in ohio the seasons seem to be shifting so before you know i don't know like may would be more of like it would get warmer in may um and then cool off in september and then now it's pretty cold up until june for us and then it gets hot really quick hot and humid and then it stays warm almost through september and then sometimes into october you know usually by october or mid-september i'm like all right let's bust out the sweatshirts and sweaters and leggings you know it's fall weather but everything just seems to be shifting which is crazy um oh and to wash the screens i was just using dawn dish soap and some water and the scrub brush but it's just funny because at this point in the year i am like over it and i try not to complain too much because the weather is what it is you know like you can't change it we chose to live here we chose to stay here um we're happy here but i'm just like i'm over it at this point in may so luckily the sun was shining and it's up i know that warmer days are in our very near future [Music] me [Music] [Music] i'm going to be doing a back patio video um it should actually be up next week i'm thinking but if you're when you're seeing this should be up soon i'm going to be decorating the back patio that's where we love to sit in the summer like let the kids play or at night after the kids go to bed mike and i sit out there it's like our little oasis at home some are date nights um when it's warm we have a fire pit out there i'm going to add some decoration and just kind of make it fun out there so stay tuned for that video it should be up soon [Music] is [Music] it's been a day but it feels good to have everything done and i'm gonna sit up here and enjoy this sun right now um while i can while it's still a nice day hey guys so it is much later in the evening i have showered and uh mike is putting the twins to bed or we've actually already put them to bed um but he's going in there because they were a little fussy at bedtime not ready to go to bed so i have my little helper here avery and she's gonna help me vacuum the bed because i've been letting the baking soda soda sit on there all day long so it's had plenty of time to do its magic and i'm gonna let it sit there and then we're gonna vacuum it up and then make the bed before it's bedtime right girl yes yes all right so let's do i will it my mind [Music] [Applause] [Music] don't know how to enjoy it every time you tell me it's not it i suppose that we won't stand a chance you guys get to see me in my comfy clothes right before bed um and i'm using the shop vac from our garage to vacuum up the baking soda just because i've read some things that say you shouldn't use a vacuum to vacuum up baking soda it can ruin your vacuum damage your vacuum and you know i love my vacuums they're also expensive so i don't really want to mess with those vacuums i know people do it but we have the shop vac so i might as well use that and i was making sure i when i whenever i use it in here i make sure i disinfect the shop back as much as i can like the hose and stuff um that touches the bed just because you know you use it in the garage you use it in the car so i made sure to clean it and disinfect it before i used [Music] know it to enjoy it every time you tell me it's not fair i suppose [Music] day two i'm gonna continue on cleaning i'm keeping it pretty casual and comfy today i have my joggers on didn't put on any makeup other than what was probably left over from yesterday so anyways i'm gonna continue on and do some more cleaning today [Music] [Music] to chase it away so i know that you already saw me clean the outdoor windows from the outside a couple of days ago but you know there's a lot of stuff floating in the air right now here in the springtime pollen and all of that so i just figured while i was cleaning everything cleaning the inside windows i would just clean them pull them in clean them outside again and then i was going to clean the front hallway and then work on the stairs and i think it's just crazy how dirty the walls were wait till you see how dirty the water was and the rag this is just the main traffic hallway twins are constantly touching it with their hands so it gets dirty pretty quickly and dirtier than i realize so i try to keep up on it as much as i can okay so now it's time for the giveaway question i'm gonna keep it pretty simple here what is your favorite hobby just let me know what your favorite hobby is for me it's either

the laundry room at my parents home and so much more spring cleaning good luck to you all and thank you [Music] is [Music] enough time not enough time i'm falling behind falling behind i hate to separate my body and mind my body and mine [Music] in my mind [Music] [Music] is [Music] i'm acting surprised but i know i'm not over you keep missing a fight think i'm losing my mind so i was cleaning out the closet because in the winter there can just so much stuff accumulates in here you know we have hats and gloves for all three kids and for mike and i then we have our heavy winter coats and this closet just becomes very cluttered during the winter and since you know let's cross our fingers we're done with snow i can get rid of the snow boots and the heavy winter coats and the hats and gloves so i want to go in here remove all of that stuff get rid of all that extra stuff even like winter type shoes since we'll be using wearing sandals more get rid of all of that de-clutter and organize a little bit and clean out [Music] i could stop pretending that i wanted this [Music] so i needed to wipe down the cabinets and i am using the same thing that i use when i cleaned out the wall or cleaned the walls which is dawn dish soap the blue kind and some super warm water we got our cabinets painted last fall they said to make for sure we are using a very mild cleaner and dawn is a mild cleaner but very powerful it takes care of grease and i also like using it on my walls because it does a good job of getting dirt and fingerprints and grease off of the walls but not stripping the paint and so that's why i also like using it on my cabinets you know i miss you the most [Music] [Applause] [Music] but somehow love [Music] okay so i frequently get asked how i decide which vacuum i'm going to use and sometimes it's just out of sure sheer boredom i want to switch things up um like what vacuum do i use how do i choose which mop to use um sometimes it's based on time frame like how quick i just need to get something done um but when it comes to vacuums so i know the camera does not pick it up very well but my floors are dirty i mean there are i mean just chunks of food and yeah it's really bad here in person so like there's just like a lot of like bigger chunks of food and crumbs and stuff like that so when that happens a leaf um when that happens i go ahead and use this um this is not my first choice when it comes to vacuuming the hardwood floors i like using one of my cordless vacuums but when there's this much stuff and crumbs and big chunks of things then i'll go ahead and use this vacuum [Music] is [Music] [Music] so i'm actually going to be trying out a new mop here soon probably in next sunday's video um it is a robotic mop yes a robotic mop and guys i'm so excited because it's actually a robotic vacuum and a robotic mop that cleans itself so you don't even have to clean the mop like it it mops and then goes back into like a little case uh like a little charging station and the mop heads get clean so like if it's mopping and it mops and like let's say your floors are really dirty and the mop heads become too dirty it recognizes it and goes back to the station cleans itself and then comes back out it's so crazy i am so excited i cannot wait to do it because it's one of those things where maybe i'm the only one my floors get dirty so quickly and i think a lot of it it's the dog it's the kids running in and out from in and outside the traffic and our floors just get so dirty and it's like i just don't have the energy to mop all of the time you know the time or the energy so it's nice to have you know a robe a robot to do it for me so i'm gonna be reviewing that next week so stay [Music] baby i will tuned you how you can catch my vibe without so much [Music] [Applause] to mop i am using my oh cedar spin mop i love this mop with one teaspoon of powdered tide yes just one teaspoon of powdered thai laundry detergent in the mop bucket it's amazing combo always gets my floors really really clean [Music] foreign [Music] okay so it's sunday afternoon and i have if i'm lucky an hour um avery is at a birthday party and the twins are napping um mike's out doing some yard work so we're just trying to get things done um and i'm gonna go pick up avery since mike is jam-packed just doing stuff outside so i have if i'm lucky an hour to get a few things done up here so again so this is going to be like i know you guys watch speed cleaning videos but i feel like i'm going to be really speed cleaning in real life for these so just as basic of a clean as i can do um and let's hope i get it done [Music] you have high expectations don't i know that you've explained it how i should prove this was one of those days that i had so much laundry to do i know sometimes we can really stay on top of things and get the laundry done and other things done um i think it's really like that with any type of routine any type of cleaning routine it's like some day some weeks you're on top of things you're like getting it all done and then other weeks you're like i can barely keep up and get by and this was just one of those weeks um i feel like we were mainly getting behind because mike was really really busy with work so he's a financial analyst and he deals with budgeting for like a company and he has forecasts and budgeting and all this stuff and there are certain weeks out of the month that he's swamped so busy like he'll work you know well over eight hours in a day he'll work at night after the kids go to bed until like one a.m and then there's other weeks where he's not busy at all um and so this was one of those weeks where he was absolutely swamped and for our family it takes both of us to be chipping in to get things done the laundry the cleaning like i know you guys probably think i do all of the cleaning which i do do a majority of the cleaning but mike actually does all of the outside cleaning he does a lot of errands grocery pickup and stuff like that so like he also does cleaning um so folding laundry but so it's like when he's not a hundred percent you know things are gonna get behind and that's okay it happens you know we there are gonna be weeks we're gonna be on top of it you're gonna get it done and there's gonna be weeks for whatever reason that you don't so just so you know that's how it was for us this week [Applause] [Music] so for both of our bathrooms that i was cleaning up here i was just doing a very basic clean and wipe down so just like literally using clorox wipes um to wipe down the vanity and just do it nice and quick and then i was using the bona antibacterial cleaner for the floors and just getting that done and something that i've noticed which like when i'm in a hurry it's just easy to grab the clorox wipes and i notice that i can really do that in the girls bathroom i can use clorox wipes to wipe down the vanity in the girls bathroom but it's a pain to use clorox wipes in our bathroom um but i should have switched but i was just in such a hurry that i used it and it just ended up being a pain because if you guys you know i'm always using microfiber cloth what a microfiber cloth is it's like if you feel a microfiber cloth it feels different than just like an you know a regular rat cleaning rag and it attracts dust and bacteria so like you know when you wipe when you're cleaning something you spray some cleaner you wipe it down um and then there's like lint that kind of gets collected you guys i know you know what i'm talking about with the microfiber cloth that does not happen that's why i always use them so i use a dry microfiber cloth with a spray so i always get asked about that i don't wet the cloth i use a spray cleaner with a dry microfiber cloth so i don't know if it must be something with our bathroom like i'm sure like my shedding hair uh mike shaving you know he cleans up after himself when he shaves but you know there's still going to be some shaves shaving clippings you know that escape his cleaning i guess um and then like my face products i don't know but it is just a pain like the clorox wipes do not cut i need a microfiber cloth in our bathroom but it works for the twins room or bathroom but i also know that there's been a lot of confusion about e-cloth the difference between an e-cloth and a microfiber cloth they are different and e-cloth is designed it is made to attract bacterial bacteria and clean a regular microfiber cloth does not clean it just attracts dust and lint so you need a cleaner with a regular microfiber cloth so they are separate separate separate separate but i use a dry microfiber cloth with a spray cleaner typically or if i use my e-cloth you just have to wet it um but yes so that was that and i just remembered that i've totally forgot to close out this video so i'm going to close it out here thank you for sticking around i hope you found this video motivating [Music] [Music] hey guys i am so excited about today's video this is a super extreme ultimate clean with me you're going to see me speed cleaning all over my house plus deep cleaning like doing a full

i am picturing the worst in my mind [Music] so i was just kind of doing my pre-cleaning warm-up like i like to do i kind of say it's like a warm-up before you get to truly deep cleaning get your blood pumping and then when you start seeing results like picking things up off of the floors and the countertops you know i always feel better and i always feel more motivated to keep going it's like working out you never want to get started but once you get moving a little bit then you're ready to keep going so i was picking things up off of the floors and the countertops wiping things down wiping down the appliances before i went out to deep clean my car so if you guys have been around for a while since last year i think it was mid-august i left two gallons of milk and a tub of yogurt in my car for almost a week in the hot hot august sun no joke yes in my car it was horrible so needless to say the car smelled horrible last winter or last summer and honestly i still feel like there's a lingering smell so i bought a new product to try out in the car hopefully to finally get rid of that smell i actually had mold growing in my car because i left it in there for so long and do not ask me why i didn't drive my car for almost a week i don't know but it was not my finest moment needless to say so i was going to make sure i gave my car a really good detailing especially after the winter with the salt and the snow and all of that and then try out this new product that can hopefully get rid of that lingering smell [Music] i got this boy in my mind that i can't live without all his eyes i'll kill me and he keeps talking about everything that he likes and i can't stop listening i'm thinking about him all the time i think about him all the time i'm thinking about him all the [Music] to wipe down my appliances i was using the e-cloth stainless steel um cloths these cloths are amazing you just wet them with water they are my go-to and the best cleaner for my stainless steel appliances so i was using those on the appliances and i was going to be using the jaws granite cleaner for my countertops and here in a little bit you're going to see me cleaning um and or wiping down my kitchen table that has been chipping and it looks horrible well next monday you're gonna see me repaint and completely make over that table so stay tuned for that one i'm gonna be

all right so the living room and kitchen is cleaned up i'm gonna go throw my hair up and go outside on this beautiful day and hopefully get my car completely cleaned [Music] [Applause] okay so let's address the pretzel down there on the floor did you guys see that you probably were like i think that was a cigarette butt right so i posted a similar clip of this when i was cleaning the car on my instagram and i started getting so many messages from people who were like i didn't know you smoked how do you get smoke the smell of smoke out of your car and people are like i'm so confused because you're so healthy but you're smoking and i was so confused myself because i'm like i don't smoke i have never smoked in my life i had no idea what people were talking about so i went back to watch the clip on instagram and that little broken off piece it's a pretzel people thought that was a cigarette butt i was cracking up that entire day it was so funny to me um i love eating pretzel rods like you know the long skinny pretzels and apparently i'm just a messy pretzel eater in my car so a p that like a top piece had broken off um and that's that's what it was not a cigarette butt but i was just um i was laughing at the whole situation but anyways i was pulling everything out of my car before wiping things down and busting out the big tools to deep clean in here and i got these really cool card detailing brushes they kind of look like paint brushes from amazon i will have them linked below and they were game changing for cleaning my car they allow you to get into so many little cracks and crevices i did not know i needed these as bad as i did you guys need to check these out go check them out on amazon i'll have them linked below [Music] um [Music] so with mother's day here

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] from a different place [Music] not sure what i expected [Music] so here again i had pulled out my power washer and my drill attachments guys these drill attachments are game changing for just cleaning anywhere anywhere in general i will have them linked below but when i use them in the car i didn't have to use any special brushes to get all of the dog fur or fuzz that gets embedded into the carpet fibers this drill attachment did it all like it just kicked it all up and then i was able to vacuum all of that up so these are really really great and i was also able to use them for my mats the floor mats and give them a really good deep cleaning and i also have been getting asked where i got these car mats and they came with the car they are all weather mats so we got this car last february february of 2020 and we were able to get all weather mats which i think are really great if you have kids or if you live in a climate where you have snow and ice like we do and salt and all of that but i was spraying down dawn dish soap on the mats and then going over them with the drill attachments and then going back over them with the power washer [Music] i'm a sucker for your love even though it's kind [Music] different of [Applause] i was then going to use my bissell carpet cleaner that has the attachment to clean the seats and i was being careful not to put too much water into the car seats so i was being just really careful in controlling how much water i put out onto the car seats and again i was using these um or the drill attachments once i would clean it and use the drill attachments to really get into the seat and get any dirt to come up [Music] [Music] we are catching fire [Music] [Applause] [Music] so yes last august i left two gallons of milk and yogurt in here and i know you guys are like number one how did you forget milk like didn't you notice that you were low on milk and the other question is how did you not drive your car for almost a week well we do go through a lot of milk but sometimes it's like one week we'll go through a lot of milk and then the other week we don't i don't know it just sometimes it can be inconsistent and when i add stuff to the grocery list like we always pick up our groceries um and when i go in to submit it i just always add milk because i never want to run out of it it's primarily what the twins drink and really avery and since it can be inconsistent like some weeks the milk really piles up in our fridge and then other weeks it doesn't so i think it must have been one of those weeks where we weren't going through a lot because obviously we didn't notice we didn't have any um and as far as not driving the car a lot of times when we go anywhere as a family we always take my husband's truck because we can all fit into that to his truck and he almost always drives when we go somewhere as a family so we just always take his truck and i don't i don't know i don't know i guess it was a slow week we were just probably going places more as a family so i just didn't get in get in there and i remember i opened it up and it smelled so bad i have tried everything i've tried charcoal bags i've tried baking soda vinegar like car bombs that you can buy at the store to make it smell better i've deep cleaned this car i've cleaned the carpets the mats and i think you can smell a lingering smell other people say they can't but i was doing a lot of research and there's this product called odoban and that is supposedly really really good and so that's what i was going to give a try today but i was just wiping everything down in the interior with clorox wipes and i was going to go and use this new product i got i was researching card detailing videos and i came across the detail geek and he swears by this one product called 303 aerospace protectant it's a uv protection it prevents fading and cracking and repels dust dirt and staining and it's not greasy at all so i put that on after the i use the clorox wipes [Music] you honestly i was going to clean the car seats but i ran out of time and also got really tired and mike said he would take care of that later so um later on in the night after the kids went to bed it was still light out still nice out and so he went outside to do that [Music] but stay tuned for day two there will be more cleaning inside the house as well as a couple of different recipes and you also get to say hi to the girls okay so it's kind of windy so i hope you guys can hear me but i bought this this little like well it's a car garbage can so it's insulated so if something were to spill it would be easy to wipe clean um but it actually came with these little garbage bags that you can put in here and then you have this little top sorry it's kind of hard to show you with one hand it's just kind of little flat from the way it was in the box but it's more of like a square um so then you can just put your garbage here in the top in the hole so i'm going to stick this in the front seat on the floor and then it has these nice little pockets on the side that i can stick stuff so um like sunscreen maybe some extra diapers a first aid kit all of that stuff so that's easily accessible and hopefully with this we can kind of keep up on the garbage and trash in the car and try to keep it clean for a little bit longer but i thought this was kind of nice and i like how it's also a little organizer so it kind of serves as like a trash can but also [Music] cause there's nothing that can stand in the way [Music] okay so i'm sure i've already talked about this somewhere in the video um but i still feel like there's a lingering odor so i did a ton of research and i mean i've tried it all baking soda vinegar charcoal bags everything and this kept coming up it is a disinfectant it takes away odors um it stops mold and mildew from growing kills 99.99 of germs it's a multi-purpose cleaner you can use it to i was looking on the back so it is a deodorizer a sanitizer a disinfectant a medium mildew stat a viru value side either way it can be used in walls tables floors chairs countertops bathroom fixtures sink shelves racks upholstery drapes carpets bedding flower curtains and mattresses so pretty versatile um cleaner it's good for pet solutions so i'm gonna spray this on the floor and hopefully we can get rid of that smell [Music] what a day i have mud on my face somewhere i am sweating my hair is crazy from the wind but you know what my car looks pretty good and it smells pretty good so i guess that's all that matters um hey guys so i'm trying to think that what you have seen already maybe some cleaning up here in the living room in the kitchen and then you saw me clean my car and now i'm gonna do a little bit more cleaning um just kind of finish off that list that i had created a couple of days ago i don't have a lot i need to do but one of the main things i wanted to do while the girls are napping is make two meals i'm gonna show you guys two of the recipes one we're gonna make or eat tonight it's a keto pizza casserole and then um my crockpot baked ziti that i've made before on my channel but you guys have all made it before you say you love it my girls love it and so i'm actually just gonna make that today because we have softball tomorrow we'll be busy and i just want to make it have it ready to go for tomorrow that way we don't have to be rushing out of the door um we can take our time and eat so i'm going to make both of those i will share the recipes with you you know if i'm making them then they're super easy it's super simple and i'll kind of talk to you about um like the ketocast roll and why why and why i'm making that [Music] if you've been around for a while then you know i hate cooking if you're going to see recipes here on my channel they're going to be super easy simple ingredients and that's why i have this vegetable chopper because i even hate to chop and i actually cut my finger while i was chopping up some of the peppers in this video so i hate cooking in general and but it you know has to be done when you have kids so for the big cd you just have to brown up the ground beef or you could use ground turkey or whatever but i'm always trying to get more iron into my girls so i was using ground beef and then you basically just dice up some tomatoes and marinara sauce and you pour all of that in the crock pot and then you'll add noodles a little bit later i will have the recipe linked below but i promise you it's really really good and all you have to do is brown the beef basically and then for the low carb pizza casserole so you start out with italian sausage just cooking that up you could use other types of you know like ground beef or ground turkey if you wanted to but then i use my vegetable chopper which i will also have linked below to chop up some green peppers red pepper and i sauteed that with some salt and pepper [Music] and then you pretty much just layer all of the ingredients i will have this linked below but you're just layering the italian sausage the marinara sauce the peppers cheese and pepperoni and i made two sides because mike does not like any vegetables i know i know so i made two different sides and i actually only made this for us and i only i only made half of the recipe the actual recipe called for a full casserole dish but i wanted to try it out before committing to a whole casserole dish but let me tell you i should have made the whole thing because i loved it mike loved it and i even had the girls try it and they loved it as well [Music] i wasn't sure if i was going to get to the bathroom down here and vacuum and mop but i do have a little bit more time the twins are still napping so um the bathroom isn't too dirty but we had our family over we had our parents over for avery's birthday um a couple days ago and so i just want to go in there and kind of disinfect everything wipe things down and then i don't know we have a busy night tonight so i don't think i'm gonna get to vacuum so i might just vacuum and mop right now take care of it even though it's before dinner um but i might just take care of it right now while i have the time i didn't know if i was gonna get tired i didn't know if i was gonna have the time but it's nice out and i definitely feel more energy you know it's lighter out earlier in the day stays out lighter later in the day and just when it's a sunny blue sky day i do feel more motivated and energized so i'm kind of feeling it today so i'm going to keep on moving keep on going and get those things done that i didn't know if i'd have time for [Music] not a sound [Music] so i will tell you i was unable to get through my full list because the girls woke up a little bit earlier than normal and that happens i know you guys see me cleaning a lot during nap time and it looks just so easy peasy and my girls are napping i'm getting things done but i promise you that does not happen every day um you know they are good sleepers they are good nappers and i really try to be realistic about my to-do list you know when i set them during nap time and try to break it up in a couple of days but i always don't get to finish everything but i was going to finish things later on when mike had avery at softball and it was me and the twins i was going to finish up later [Music] for on under the sky we're catching lightning in a bottle window's down [Music] maybe tonight we could make it count this is what we've waited for maybe tonight here in a little bit i'll be showing you the big cd when it was all done and the pizza casserole but here is another reminder that my video for this sunday will not be posted on sunday my typical sunday video will be posted on monday because sunday is mother's day here in the united states so i'm going to be enjoying my day kicking my feet up spending time with my family um so i will be posting on monday so i'm sorry if you are looking forward to some cleaning motivation on sunday but um you know i really wanted to kind of draw the line it was kind of hard for me but i want to enjoy my day but monday may 10th make sure you check it out because i'm going to be redoing our kitchen table so it's definitely one you don't want to miss [Music] go i'm keeping you close to me we don't need no [Music] i sleep never let go i'm keeping you close to me we don't need no sleep [Music] [Applause] [Music] should not be on camera right now with all of these wonderful hormonal breakouts you know when you guys saw me earlier i had makeup on and now i don't um so i didn't get a chance to mop earlier because two little toddlers decided to wake up so you know i had that plan i was feeling good i was gonna knock out my to-do list that didn't happen so we're gonna finish it up now mike and averett are at softball we just ate dinner which by the way the girls love the keto pizza casserole avery loved it mike loved it we all loved it so that's definitely getting added to our rotation but i'm gonna did you guys wake up early yes you did emery yes addison yes you did are you gonna let mommy mop can mommy mop [Music] all right i'm gonna mop we're gonna eat snacks okay can i get things done while i'm alone with them it's all about bribing so i'm gonna give them a few snacks and quickly mop and then i'll be good okay so you guys have probably seen me use this a lot upstairs um but i also have one for the kitchen so just for nights like this where i'm just trying to get just mop really quickly i love this so it's an e-cloth mop it's like really heavy-duty this extends and then you just use this pad so it's velcro machine washable and you just use water it attracts bacteria dirt dust and cleans your floors so [Music] i also have a coupon code for e-cloths so if you want to try them out um like i said i love they're stainless steel they have a glass and polishing cloth they have an all-purpose cloth i love their mop if you want to check them out make sure you use my coupon code for 10 off i will have the coupon code it's jamie10 and the link in the description [Music] cause i need you call me anytime but you need a friend okay so i've let this cool off for a little bit um i have the crock pot off but once you let everything cook for about three hours on high and then you dump the noodles in the ziti noodles and all it's basically doing is boiling them and so i'm just letting it cool down before i put it in the refrigerator for tomorrow but this is one of our family favorites and i love it because super easy super simple ingredients easy for me to make and also i can freeze it all right it's time to get these girls in bed can we say bye bye say bye say thanks for watching thank you guys i am so grateful to have each and every one of you guys be a part of this journey jamie's journey right our journey so thank you guys i'll see you next time bye [Music] hey guys today you are in for some extreme speed cleaning i'm going to be deep cleaning throughout three days mainly focusing on two of the bathrooms spring cleaning the bathrooms but also cleaning all over my house so get ready for some super satisfying cleaning and tackling some gross cleaning tasks that i've been putting off for forever and give me a thumbs up if you're ready to get up and get moving [Music] no this is not a clip from a couple of months ago yes this is april late april at that and yes we got five inches of snow this night so insane this was i think the most or the highest snowfall that we've gotten this late in april on record in northwest ohio where i live so no it's not february it's april and we are continuing on and doing the spring cleaning even though it's snowing outside um i for the past couple of months i've been picking one room in the house to focus on and really deep clean um and then for for this video i'm focusing on the upstairs bathrooms so this was the night before i was going to spring clean and i was just doing my nighttime picking things up off of the floor and the countertops putting things away and i know i i always tend to start cleaning when i film in the living room in the kitchen but honestly those are the two areas that always get the messiest the areas that drive me crazy and put me in the worst mood when they're cluttered so this is the mess that you know typically happens when we're home all day just spending some time at home it was the end of the night and i just wanted to pick things up i was able to get started earlier earlier than normal because mike was upstairs putting the girls to bed typically i have avery help me but it was a crazy night she had basketball practice got home late still had homework just finished so mike was putting the twins to bed avery was in the shower and then he was gonna get her started on her homework so that's what we were doing tonight [Music] [Music] so like i said earlier in this video i'm going to be deep cleaning two areas in my home in this video so the two upstairs bathrooms mike this evening is i'm going to remove our shower door so i could truly deep clean them get into all of the cracks and crevices of the shower the door tracking all of that i'm also going to be cleaning drains cleaning grout walls baseboards like true deep cleaning in the bathrooms and um one other thing i was going to do tonight was clean up the basement because you guys are seeing this video on a sunday and it was actually avery's birthday on friday and she had a couple of friends over and then we're having my parents and mike's parents and my sister over on sunday so just a little family get together and we wanted to clean up the basement just so the house was clean and you know when you get into that like mode of cleaning and you're just feeling good and you just keep moving that's how i felt about the basement i was like oh i wasn't gonna clean it tonight but i was just feeling it i was like i gotta pop down there and get it quickly cleaned up that way i can cross it off of my list and not have to worry about it before our family came over [Music] destination [Music] so i've gotten a lot of message lately messages lately and you know i've always gotten these messages and people will say i don't know how you have the motivate motivation to clean up at night or i wish i could be like you you know be like you as a mom or always have the motivation to work out or clean and guys please know and this is so important i want you to hear this [Music] what you are seeing me do is not every single day or not every single night this is one night a week i do not clean up every single night sometimes my husband cleans up sometimes we just let it go and it doesn't clean we try our best but real life means you're not always going to get everything done and so the other part is you know everyone's always saying like how do you always have this energy and motivation to do it all and i want you to know that i don't do it all i don't do it alone i know i don't talk about it or show how much mike does but he does as much as i do he works from home we parent together he cleans i cleans he cooks i cook he goes and gets groceries just like i do i don't do it all myself so this is how i would describe our relationship there are some weeks where i give 80 and maybe because of how he's feeling how his work schedule is maybe it's a busy week for him work wise he only gives 20 but then you know what the next week it flips and he is always there to help you know like we're always there to like when the other one is feeling down the other one steps up when i'm not feeling good when i'm overwhelmed he steps in and does the things that i was planning on doing or vice versa i'm not here to praise him because i mean like i'm not here to say like oh kudos to mike because you know it's he's part of this he makes the messes um in the house it's his kids but we're we're we truly are a team and he is always there to fill in the gaps you know when i'm down and then when it's the same for him we just work together so i do not do all of this alone i'm not this perfect mom who works out all of the time and cleans and runs around and does all these activities with my kids you guys i want you to know that you are seeing just glimpses of my day either on instagram or here on youtube the past three nights i haven't folded any laundry because i was just too tired mike did it he went and picked up the groceries this week and ran almost all of the errands for avery's birthday like putting in the cupcake orders and running to party city to get a few things done so i don't do it all um i get overwhelmed just like you are in fact while i'm filming these voiceovers it is super late at night because i have just been putting this off off all day just because i've been tired i just haven't felt that motivation you know and i've been putting it off all day long and here it is 10 o'clock at night and i'm filming these voice-overs literally have accomplished nothing today but kept my kids alive which is huge so i'll step off my soapbox but you guys are doing the best you can i promise it keep up the good work [Music] [Music] but don't you try to call me tomorrow [Music] so it was obviously the next day mike had removed the doors from the shower the shower the tracking the night before and i was getting started on the shower in here just because i hate cleaning our shower and i wanted to tackle the hardest part of the bathroom first because i wanted to get it off get it out of my way check it off the list so i had planned on getting into all of those cracks and crevices and cleaning up um every inch of the shower even on top and if you have one of the insert showers like the white ones i don't even know like what they're technically called or baths make sure you're cleaning the top because they can get pretty dusty and dirty up there so i started out with my bissell hand steamer to kind of break everything up in the tracking and then i was going to go in with the big guns so i had this hand steamer to do a good job of kind of breaking all of the stuff up the crud and then i was going to go in with my drill attack cleaning drill attachments to really break everything up [Music] just watch me [Music] oh and i also wanted to clean out the drain in the shower i like doing this periodically because this is what i find in there hair sorry for the gross clip but heather shower too i can't be the only one so to clean i was using a new cleaner just because i had found it randomly at walmart and i feel like i can never find cleaning supplies in the store anymore so i grabbed it when i found it i think this was the only one there because i wanted to try something new because i was deep cleaning the shower you guys know how much i love my jaws foaming bathroom cleaner but i wanted to try this and it is called micro ban bathroom cleaner and it cleans um and also disinfects and it's supposed to help stop the buildup of mold and mildew so i just sprayed that then i was going to go in with my drill attachments so these are the cleaning attachments that you attach to a power drill and then i was going gonna use my rubbermaid power scrubber i was using all of the cleaning tools to get into the cracks and crevices um and i will have both of these linked in the hide no description gonna steal our time again we don't have to say much let our lives touch i will stay with you until the end [Music] so i really really love the jaws foaming bathroom cleaner that's typically what i use to clean in my bathroom because it's non-toxic i like using non-toxic products but today i just wanted something you know more hardcore since i was doing more deep cleaning but the drill attachment that i was using they come with a couple of different attachments so you have this flat one and then i was also or the flat one i was using on the walls and then they also have the more rounded one that i was using in the the tracking and i obviously don't use all of these attachments every time i clean my shower but you know when you get um i don't know i'm sure i'm not the only one but you get soap or shampoo kind of stuck on to the shower um you have to like really really really scrub yeah with these it just blasts all of that like hardened shampoo or soap off of the shower so it makes deep cleaning really easy [Music] our time again we don't have to say much let our lips touch i will stay with you until [Music] [Music] and then as soon as i'm done here i'm gonna go to the top of the shower it's crazy how dirty and dusty it was at the top especially on the top of the shower tracking it was pretty dirty so i just used a wet cloth and wiped all of the dirt and dust away [Music] when there's [Music] so i know i showed you guys earlier how we had gotten the snow the night before and that was just insane but i had it had almost completely melted by 5 p.m the next day and then you guys are seeing this probably on sunday or monday well later i think wednesday or thursday it's going to be almost 80 degrees i feel like here in the midwest we have crazy crazy weather um but this is kind of like a typical spring for us you know like one day it'll be snowing the next day it'll be 60 degrees the next day it'll be 80 degrees it's just how our springs are but what i was doing here is just deep cleaning the shower doors and i was using um i was using the rubbermaid power scrubber and the drill attachments to get into all of those corners and get all as much of the crud that i could out because so much stuff collects in the corners and that's why i like taking these shower doors off from time to time to really clean them and then i was going to use the rain x glass cleaner so it's a glass cleaner but also because it's rain x it also repels water from the glass doors and the glass cleaner is actually really good like i was kind of thinking that the glass cleaner wouldn't be as good because it's a rain-x product and it would be more about repelling the water but i highly recommend this it's perfect for shower doors [Music] so when i was done with the doors i was going to focus on other parts of the bathroom and i wanted to clean from top to bottom so i was dusting the lighting fixtures with my swiver duster and i love this thing because it extends like it folds out and extends so it allows me to get into places that i normally wouldn't be able to reach since i'm pretty short i'm five foot four inches and then i was going to clean the drain drain thingy whatever you call it the stopper that's in the sink it obviously gets pretty gross and i was also going to clean mike's but his didn't come out very easily mine just lifts out his does not i did some research and it means like his is it's supposed to be attached in the bottom of the sink and so i was going to take while i talked to mike about it and we were gonna have to kind of take part of the sink apart down below i didn't have the time for it and typically he'll help me out when i like want to clean stuff like you guys have seen him help me out and stuff but he was downstairs with all three kids and he actually came up at one point to do it but then we heard chaos from downstairs so he just went back downstairs to be with the kids so we didn't have time um he was with the kids so i just figured we'll get to it another time i mean there's sometimes you have it on your list you want to get things done but you just can't do it all i guess sometimes [Music] i always do i never think i always do never thought [Music] i know i talked about this earlier in the video but i hate when you guys compare yourself to me and i don't mean that i hate it and like oh i'm so miserable and i get mad when you guys compare yourself to me but i just never want you guys to compare yourself to me and my life and what i get done or what you can't get done i will tell you i have a lot of intrinsic motivation to clean or to work out because cleaning for me it's something that i i do enjoy and i'm just a happier person i'm less anxious when my house is clean same thing with working out i always feel my mood is always lifted when i work out so i don't i mean i'd always for the most part much rather lay on the couch then clean or to work out but i know the benefits of how i feel afterwards so that's what gets me up and moving um oh and by the way i'm wiping down my walls with dawn dish soap and water um it gets all of those watermarks off of the wall do you guys ever get those water mart like water drips on your wall in the bathroom but anyways i have the motivation internally to clean because when my house is messy i'm in the worst mood ever but there are days where i barely get anything done and i'm just in the worst mood i think that i've noticed there is definitely a correlation to you know that time of the month and when i just don't have the motivation when i don't want to do things that's where you know like i said mike will step in um and it's just you know some weeks i'm feeling it i get a lot done other weeks he is feeling it gets a lot done and so i don't know that's just that's how it goes so just don't compare yourself and just remember you're seeing a small glimpse of my life um i'm human too and i just want you guys to know i know you're trying your best and even getting one tiny thing done in a day you know is a huge feat so i forgot to mention this in the last video but one of you guys caught it we got a new toilet seat um i think in two videos ago it was still dirty and stained and like i said before nothing got rid of the stain um not a magic eraser not bleach um i tried so many products that you guys recommended and so finally we got a new one mike had ordered one and we got it we replaced it and i don't it must have been when i was talking about something else and i just didn't mention it in the last video but someone commented and said oh you know i noticed that you got a new toilet seat so it was so funny um i love it when you guys notice those like little details that i don't necessarily talk about i can tell you guys are really paying attention [Music] so this hand steamer came with a couple of different attachments and this one is a grout cleaning attachment it just kind of fits right on there to the top and then it fits perfectly in the grout lines pretty easy and my grout doesn't really get too dirty i mean you guys know i'm like constantly cleaning my bathrooms um but also something grout can be different so i've gotten a lot of people saying you know try this try that well i had talked to our tile flooring guy the guy who laid the tile and he said you have to be careful with the type of grout we have because it's um it's sanded it's almost like gritty so it's not the same a type of grout that you know you'll see maybe in a shower or you'll see in like a backsplash it's not the same so you can't just use any other grout cleaning method and i like the steamer because my grout's not too dirty but the steamer can help disinfect with the steam and it does clean light stains i mean if your grout is super super dirty it may not clean it but since my grout's not too dirty the steamer does a really good job and like i said it helps disinfect it [Music] in my mind [Music] so i know i've talked about this toilet so many times um if you're new this is not because we're dirty and we just let it go um this is what happens in this toilet it just doesn't get open very often um and i noticed that in the winter this is how it gets and specifically i think because the weather has been so crazy you know one day 60 degrees the next day five engines five inches of snow therefore it seems to be way worse than it has been all winter i think because of the fluctuating temperatures something we have been trying to do someone did suggest leaving the um the lid open so we have been doing that but because this is the bath this is avery's bathroom um she naturally shuts the toilet lid because of the twins like we're just all kind of programmed to shut it a lot just because the twins can get into it so um yeah so she didn't she hasn't been shutting it or keeping it open all of the time so we're trying but i know that once it gets warmer this problem will eventually go away but as i was cleaning i wanted to take this little water stopper whatever you call it i wanted to get that off i saw the two little screws and i was like i've never taken this off i wonder how dirty it is underneath so just remove the screws got in there and there was definitely a lot of black crud under there that i was able to clean up [Music] [Music] i hope i miss somebody [Music] so because this is the twins and avery's bath i wanted to use the jaws cleaner to clean in here just because it's non-toxic um you know and i know that there was a lot of like gross stuff in there from that water drainy thing like all of that black stuff so after i cleaned up with the jaws foaming bathroom cleaner i then went in with a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol to disinfect like i just wanted to properly disinfect the tub after i cleaned it because they are not the same so cleaned it then disinfected with something that was a little bit or not as toxic as another disinfectant oh and did you see mike throwing up some cleaning cloths i had yelled down to him can you please throw up some cleaning cloths you guys he is the man behind the cleaning he's always there to help me out watch the girls or throw up cleaning cloths or hey i need the dishwasher or the garbage disposal taken apart or i need the appliances moved out he's always there to kind of help me and support me with whatever i'm doing all these crazy ideas and deep cleaning ideas he's always there to assist me [Music] i'm gonna get away from it away from me [Music] i'm looking for a place [Music] i didn't do this in our bathroom just because our cabinets weren't that bad and i had just wiped them down like a week ago but because this is the kids bathroom you know there's toothpaste everywhere so i used my mrs meyers lavender multi-surface spray to wipe down all of the mess and i was going to wipe down the baseboards and the doors as well [Music] even when it is [Music] glowing in the dark i feel it in my heart you're glowing in the dark glowing in the dark yeah you're glowing [Music] guide me out of the woods now that toilet was so gross i'm sorry but again guys it's not like gross toilet stuff it is uh like i don't know what it is um water that you know when you have water that kind of sits there you get that like i guess is that mold i don't know um but anyways cleaned up the toilet and then i was going to vacuum and then i wanted to use this i wanted to steam the toilet which i did in the master bathroom too you know the outside of the toilet bowl um i'm sure if you have boys maybe a little bit messier or dirtier but still like the bottom of the toilet bowl you know doesn't get wiped down as much and i just i think the steamer just makes it super easy and while i had it out because i was also going to clean the grout just thought i'd give it a spray disinfect it just make it easier to clean the whole toilet [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] so here in a little bit you're going to see another day of cleaning i'm also going to show you how i disinfect all of these cleaning tools and parts when i'm done using [Music] them i don't know how or what i could have done better baby i really tried the best i could [Music] i can't stop time for you [Music] [Applause] [Music] i can't stop time [Music] [Applause] i've played my part for nothing and i did it all for you for you yeah we've been through this i'm not the one you need right now and i can't stop time for you i don't know why we couldn't work this out so something i wanted to share with you guys is how i disinfect my cleaning tools so i'll usually clean them with some dawn dish soap and water and then i go in and i'll either spray it with some bleach and water or some rubbing alcohol and water i love bleach but i kind of have a love hate relationship with bleach just because it's stained like my clothes have gotten stained so rubbing alcohol iso or isopropyl alcohol is another good alternative to disinfect and i always have that on hand because i use it for my diy cleaner so i'll just spray it um really really good you know here i'm on there and then these tools that way they are properly cleaned and disinfected and then i'll let them air dry so they can be used the next time [Music] okay so i know you guys um have seen me clean the twins room just like this pretty much every week i could probably just insert another clip from like last week of me doing the exact same thing cleaning up the exact same mess in here because it is literally the same messes in here but um at night when we go to bed we always bring the girls up we kind of do their nighttime routine i mean they don't have a strict routine they don't really need one necessarily we do read books and stuff like we'll get them changed lotion and then we read a book but um we come up here and we just kind of corral them you know like put them in the bedroom we like all of us are in here like so it's all five of us hanging out in the room playing the girls like to play they make a mess and you know what sometimes you just need to let your kids make a mess and we just kind of sit there and relax before bedtime but this mess probably happens multiple times throughout the week [Music] okay all right so one two three [Music] i hope i didn't sound too all over the place with this video like i said before i was just not feeling the best as i was recording these voiceovers really tired um and i guess i'm gonna blame it on that time of the month does your energy levels like do you notice how different they can be during that time of the month i guess um i'm always absolutely beat and just have zero energy zero motivation even to talk so i hope i didn't sound too all all over the place i know i stumbled upon my words quite a bit but hopefully it wasn't too bad but i guess if you're still here it didn't bother you too much and you guys love me even on my low days but thanks for listening and sticking around [Music] i know that summer was a big mistake i just hope that we're still okay [Music] [Music] let you down [Music] do what we want [Music] there's a party don't tell me you're drunk [Music] we [Music] i made [Music] i hope you guys are doing well um you're likely seeing this on sunday maybe monday i hope you're having a good week you're ready for the week ahead um the positive thing for us is this time of the year i know it can only get warmer with every week that goes by it's usually pretty cool here until about mid to late may like usually by memorial day weekend it is finally hot consistently and i am just ready for 80 degree weather like that's my idea like low 80s uh no wind sunny uh this just sounds so amazing so i know that weather is almost here but i hope you guys have a wonderful [Music] that you're week by [Music] let you down [Music] that is it for the video thank you guys so much as always you guys mean the world to me um i can't say that enough so anyways that's that i'll see you guys next time bye [Music] oh [Music] [Music] i'm not that complicated [Music] just watch me [Music] [Music] i was just pulling everything out of the cabinets and setting it out in the hallway because it would have i knew it was going to be a lot easier to work in a bigger space than what i had in the actual laundry room and then i was going to wipe down the cabinets and the countertops and i had also brought along my rubbermaid power scrubber that i was going to use on the sink and then my um bissell steam shot hand steamer to clean the washer and the dryer and i think that might be one of my favorite parts of this video is using the steam shot on the washer it was just very satisfying but i actually take that back my favorite part was the sign that i was able to create wait till you see this it's just so proud of myself but it's just really not a jamie thing to do to create a sign but i also loved when i cleaned the washer [Music] [Music] i was using the mrs meyers baking soda cream cleanser and the rubbermaid power scrubber my mom had already had um i've actually inspired her to get the rubbermaid power scrubber she's gotten the whole jaws ultimate cleaning kit she's got an oh seeder spin mop and a couple of other things so i guess i'm also making a cleaning impression on her [Music] so i know we're kind of hopping around over here but sometimes the cleaning can kind of get boring um i just want to share with you some things that are coming up and the sign that i made when we are done cleaning in here we're almost done we are going to get to the fun part and i want to give myself a little pat on the back for stepping out of my comfort comfort zone and making a sign for virtually three dollars with my qriket machine and i don't know about you guys but personally when i first got my cricut cutting machine it was it just seemed super intimidating for someone like me who is not crafty at all and i had no idea what to do but honestly guys it's easier than you think i've been using vinyl which i think is the best way to get your feet wet if you're a big beginner with a cricut machine but yes i made that sign i found this round white wash sign in the target dollar section for three dollars and i was like i have an idea for this and then i went online to etsy yes you can you don't even have to be a designer to make a sign i paid two dollars for this design there's designs for pretty much any room in your house any type of sign you're looking to make and then i cut it out with my cricut machine and here we go i made this sign for three dollars if i can do this you guys can do this and i cannot wait to make more and try new projects and then i also used vinyl to label the dollar tree bins in the laundry room cabinets but i will show you more of this process more of the staining the shelves and all of the decorating coming up after we finish cleaning [Music] my [Music] i know so many of you guys have bought this bissell steam shot and it's honestly perfect for the washing machine and the dryer i just feel like dust seems to always collect in the crevices and it breaks it all up and my video that went up last the one before this on sunday i used the steam shot to clean the window tracking in our master bedroom i've used it to clean high chairs i know you can use it to clean your oven even though i haven't tried that yet honestly the possibilities are endless and you all seem to love this as well um i just cleaned mine a couple of months ago and i'm probably actually due to clean it again but it was fun to use it on my parents and washing machine but other than this i just needed to basically vacuum and mop in here before starting to organize and then on the second day i'm gonna come back and decorate my mom is going to help me decorate um she wasn't home this day when i was here cleaning um she also does not want to be on camera so she was kind of behind the scenes she's always behind the scenes helping me kind of pointing me and helping me decorate she's a little shy but she does read all the comments that you guys leave on any of my videos actually both of my parents you know watch my videos and read the comments i think that's just them being a little protective um but specifically on the videos when i'm filming at their house they're always closely monitoring the comments so if you want to say hi hi to my mom and dad say hi get drunk and we fight but i forgive you although you drive me crazy i want you to stay here you'll be the death i know you guys always give me so many compliments saying that i don't give myself enough credit when i'm decorating but something that i've learned because if you've been a fellow follower for a while then you know i'm in the middle of decorating my living room i mean i guess i'm not really doing anything too crazy as far as decorating just decorating the tables like um that i have in there but something that i've learned for myself is i cannot rush myself when it comes to decorating i do better when i take my time so a couple of weeks ago i actually went shopping i bought a few things and i just kind of let it sit you know sit in my house sit in the areas um i've just learned that when i i do that sometimes a week will go by and then i look at that piece of decor and i'm like why did i even buy that i don't even like that at all and then other times it almost sinks in even more that i'm like yes i really really love that way more than i thought i did so i'm taking things slow with decorating even though it's simple um it's just how my brain works and i just find that if i take my time i end up being able to have a clear a more clear mind and a clearer picture of what i really want it's almost like i get tunnel vision when i'm stressing about trying to decorate even a small area so if i take a breather take a break sit back it becomes way more clear to me um what i want so i'm taking my time but hopefully i can get something soon here for the spring and summer [Music] as far as most of the decorations my mom got i'll try to have as much as i can linked below but in today's video you'll see a lot of the decorations at the end of the video she got them mostly from amazon and target but i really wanted to try to keep parts of this on a lower budget so you'll see the laundry detergent and the fabric softener dispensers i got those from walmart just because they were cheaper there than anywhere else i think the big gallon container glass containers were like 12 i also made labels for the dollar tree bins that i'm going to use to organize inside of the cabinets i love love dollar tree for their organizational bins i made my own labels and then one of the best signs like the main signs of the laundry room that we have i made myself for three dollars so it is possible to decorate and organize on a [Music] say a budget of stuff you never meet yeah [Music] i think i need a minute to figure out my limits it costs more than once yeah here i just wanted to clean the inside of their washing machine machine so i ran a load of bleach just to clean the inside since i was done wiping things out on the outside [Music] you
