[Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel today I am sharing another clean with me marathon these are some of y'all's favorites and I have been getting so many requests for another one basically you guys are always telling me that you left with my videos up on your TV or on your tablet or your phone and just clean along with me but y'all are always requesting really long videos I have compiled several of my last cleaning videos all into one video so you don't have to click onto another video or anything you can just put this up and clean right along with me so I started sharing the clean three marathons about a year ago and the response I have gotten from them has been incredible I am so happy y'all are loving this idea let me know in the comments if you guys are cleaning with me today or if you guys are just getting some motivation and going to put this up another day to clean with me later I love getting a little sneak peek into your guys's life and just connecting with you guys in the comments without further ado let's get into all the clean motivation and get our homes looking incredible [Music] [Music] once upon a time there was a play in every corner doing tricks for a dime all the streets were cold hey guys welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another after dark clean with me these are always some of your favorites that I share in my channel anytime I go around a month without sharing one I start getting a bunch of messages from you guys so I hope you guys enjoy this super relaxing and cleaning motivation I have picked some songs that I'm really really loving and I feel like it just sets the mood so go ahead and turn this on get something to drink and get ready to get motivated in the most relaxing way on this night kyle was actually working late and so the boys and I were just starting to clean up the living room as you can see outside it was not quite dark when we started however it was around 9 o'clock I don't know how it is where you guys live but where we live it is not getting dark until closer to 10 o'clock so I start kind of having the boys wind down around 8:30 or 9 o'clock and so on this night because I was filming and having to clean the house I just had them help me out in the living room and then I just send them upstairs to have a movie night you shining [Music] this time I buy so slowly if only you could show me soon [Music] please soon once the boys are all set up upstairs in the playroom which is where they usually sleep during the summers at least and on weekends they always love sleeping in the playroom anytime they get to sleep together they always are excited to do that so once they were all set up upstairs I just moved down into the kitchen and started cleaning everything up and kind of tidying things up and the first thing I always do in our kitchen before I tackle dishes or anything is I always will clear off the countertops and I feel like this is something that I do in this order just because it's something that you immediately see a difference in and anytime you can see that difference right away it really motivates you to continue on [Music] next I just had to take out our recycling I'm still thinking about getting an actual recycling garbage can but for now we are just using this old wicker basket and it works just fine [Music] beautiful deep inside beautiful people talking next I'm just starting to load up our dishwasher this is something I usually do every single night if you've seen my nighttime routines this part has not changed at all I have done this for years and I just feel like when you do all of your dishes whether you're hand washing them or you're loading them up at the dishwasher it really starts your day off well I feel like your nighttime routine is even more important than a good morning routine because it just sets you up for success the next day and you don't wake up with a huge to-do list on your plate the moment you get out of bed [Music] beautiful sometimes we simply fall out beautiful beautiful woman title you're loving it down beautiful [Music] all the things I didn't say wrecking balls inside my brain standing tall with all my face I found [Music] wrecking balls inside my brain along with all my face [Music] once I had all of our dishes hand washed or loaded up in the dishwasher I just wanted to clean out our sink and usually I will end up just using some dish soap but on this night I just wanted to shine up our stink really nice and so I used the mrs. Myers baking soda cream cleaner this is definitely a cleaning staple in my house and has been for the last few years I actually get this from Grove collaborative I'm not sure if you can find it at Target you might be able to but I would definitely recommend checking this one out it's just abrasive enough to get things scrubbed off without actually scratching the surface of anything and it also leaves behind a really nice shine so you guys will love this one and as I've mentioned before I do get most all of my cleaning products from Grove collaborative so I will have a link down below in case you want to check them out [Music] did you why did you bring me back around maybe go through [Music] easy [Music] we kept in a box my cluster found one of these days I [Music] [Music] so to keep things really easy tonight I am just using my e cloths with water this is just the general purpose cloth and this cloth has an amazing technology where you're actually able to disinfect with just using water so it is one of my favorites and then I'm just going behind it with a glass and polishing cloth and that's just kind of to dry off our granite and give it a nice shine and I should have an e cloth coupon code for you guys within the next few days so if you are wanting to order them check back in the description box and that code should be waiting for you [Music] [Music] also I did want to mention if you missed my last video I finally and I seriously mean finally because this took me an entire year to do or to get around to actually figuring out what I wanted to do but I finally redid our kitchen chairs so if you remember they used to be a just dark brown wood and I went ahead and painted them white and then I left the seats the dark brown to kind of tie in with our table and we love them so so so much [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] do the sweetest [Music] [Music] [Music] it's [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] so this is kind of a special video to me because this is actually the last video I will ever film with this couch we have had this couch since we lived in South Dakota we've had it for several years and it's been such a good couch to us but we just are feeling like we need a little bit more seating and so as you may have known we've been kind of on the hunt for a new couch for a while we actually found one and it was perfect and then it ended up being too big for the space and then on one of Kyle's of my date night recently we actually went furniture shopping and we found the perfect couch for us so we are so excited for this new couch we are loving it but that just meant that we had to say goodbye to this couch so I wanted to go ahead and take the pillows off and wash all of the pillow covers and then I also wanted to give this couch a really good clean since we were going to be getting rid of it [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm crossing over [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] it's in the system once the couch was all clean it was time for Kyle and I to move this out to the garage and let me tell you this thing is very sturdy so it was such a heavy couch but as we kind of took everything out of our living room our living room just looked so bare and it actually made it look so much bigger and I just reminded us of our first night in the house and we didn't have furniture in the house or anything it was just kind of a neat feeling because it's not often that once you live in a house and you're not moving you actually take out your furniture but it was just really neat to see this space wide open again you know the feeling just keep running and this right here is another real life moment for you guys this is probably one of the things that I disliked about this couch so much is that because it is so sturdy it has a steel frame all along the bottom so it's not something that I can actually get underneath with our vacuum any time I wanted a vacuum underneath it I would have to have Kyle hold it up and then vacuum underneath it and it was just a big process and so as you can see I was not able to vacuum under it very often and a lot of things that were left underneath it [Music] in another back to back a real moment I went over this entire rug almost with this vacuum and I felt like it wasn't vacuuming very well and you can kind of see I'm like confused like trying to figure out what is going on with this and it turns out there was a toy from one of the kids games in it and it was blocking almost all the sections so then I had to go back through and vacuum the entire rug one more time we are going to be getting a different rug because this one doesn't really fit the new couch and I'm also kind of wanting something that's not a shag rug well I do love the feel of the shag rug I feel like because it is just such a used space it's just a space that I want a rug that's easier to clean and so if you guys have any recommendations of where to get a rug or if you guys have any ideas of what kind of rugs would look good in this space let me know or send me a message over on Instagram I would love any ideas because we are currently shopping for one [Music] boys don't cry the very last thing that I needed to do in here was just to go ahead and sweep and mop and although it was really late and I was getting very tired I did just want to really give this whole floor a really great mop it's definitely not often that you have barely any furniture on the floor and so I really did want to take advantage of that when's it go we became what we [Music] we don't cry [Music] with the mafia name is using on this night is by far my favorite mob I have ever had and it is the eat cloth aqua spray mop I love it because I hate mopping and this just makes it so much easier for me and it also disinfects your floor with just water so I feel like that is just such a win if you guys are interested in getting one for yourself like I said I should have a coupon for you guys within the next week or so so I would recommend holding off until I get that coupon for you guys and it'll save you guys a little bit extra money but I would definitely recommend checking out this mop it's amazing [Music] so I hope you guys enjoyed this after dark queen with me and I hope this gave you all the cleaning motivation you are needing today I am so excited to share their big reveal of our new couch if you are following me over on Instagram you might have already seen the little sneak peek that I shared over there but otherwise the couch reveal will be going up next week so be on the lookout for that video I hope you guys have an amazing day do not forget to subscribe down below if you are not already and also head over to Instagram and follow me over there and I will see you in my next one bye guys [Music] you [Music] [Music] [Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another messy house clean with me I feel like I have been sharing a ton of these this summer and I just feel like the summer has really kind of thrown most of my routines out the window aside from my nighttime routine I really still try to get that done but obviously that doesn't that happen every single night because otherwise my house would not be getting to this point but the good news is when my house is getting so messy it gives me the opportunity to give you guys some really really good cleaning motivation so on this day as you saw I was starting out with my laundry I had a ton of laundry to do and so I wanted to go ahead and get that started and then that could just be running while I was getting to the rest of the chores I've also been getting lots and lots of comments from you guys about how I edit my videos and how you guys really like how I edit them so I hope that you guys are enjoying that I always try to make my videos a little bit different and just put a little extra something in them just to kind of make them a little bit more engaging and something that can really really get you hyped up and ready to go so I hope that you guys are enjoying that as well but let's go ahead and get back into the cleaning and get our houses looking good [Music] so moving into the kitchen I just wanted to clear everything off the counter as you can see we had a ton of play-doh left out this was mostly Noah getting into this earlier and normally I would just have them go ahead and clean up with me but Luke had started to not feel good on this day and so he was laying down and then I just decided to go ahead and let the boys kind of hang out a little bit and they will be coming in to do their chores here in just a few minutes [Music] [Music] I think either innocent this morning you don't wanna talk it out I agree to talk until fighters still it happens every night you know that I need you but I'm so sick it is not your back alley it'd be so hard to quit but every night they whisper wish I could walk out that door he better need play you could just keep on dancing so we'll burn down into ashes cuz you keep playing with matches ain't that I watch you run out of second chances [Music] [Music] but a cigarette like you knew nothing it's the first I have to pay there's something ninja Tyson's got me crawling not sure I want it any other way me no now what you see Curtis you don't wanna live it'd be too hard to leave I don't know the night we keep fighting in the taxi I hate that I need you [Music] play it cool just keep on dancing so we'll burn down into ashes cuz you keep playing with matches ain't that I want you so I decided to show throughout this video just the everyday mom life that happens while you guys usually only see me cleaning for a long period of time there are definitely moments where I have to turn off the camera and really attend to my kids as you can see know was struggling a little bit and so I needed to pause the camera for a second and just go help him and then once he was feeling better I just came back and got right back into it [Music] get all I ever wanted was to make us work hard cuz I don't wanna spend my life without you nothing else matters when you say my name I just worry [Music] [Music] once the sink was clean I added in a few drops of essential oils I always show you guys this and a ton of you guys swear by this now if you are struggling with a smelly sink go ahead and add in a few drops of essential oils and it will make such a difference in there and then once I added those oils in I'm just putting back together my soap station which consists of my growth collaborative stoneware tray as well as the bubble of a sponge dish and the bubble of dish brush set and then I'm just refilling my glass containers with dish soap [Music] [Music] to wipe down our countertop I'm just using the mrs. meyer's all-purpose spray in the scent basil this is one of my very favorite scents for mrs. meyer's and a lot of you guys have asked me if you are able to clean granite countertops with all-purpose sprays I'm not going to tell you that you can or you can't I've heard both ways however we do seal our granite countertops regularly and so I feel like that helps protect the stone a lot and so when I notice that liquids are not beating up on top of the countertops that's when I will actually reseal them and get them protected again so if you're ever having any issues with your granite countertops I would definitely recommend looking into sealing them it's made such a big difference for us [Music] [Music] [Music] got me online putting things on the side what do you have in mind she's awake all the time what are you trying to find out this we have [Music] mija [Music] now to clean my stainless steel appliances I am just using the e cloth all-purpose cloth followed by the e cloth glass and polishing cloth anytime you use any cloths you only ever have to use water and they worked so amazing I have tried so many things throughout the year trying to get our stainless steel appliances looking good and not having any streaks and this has been hands-down my very favorite [Music] [Music] line through by your side [Music] next I started doing something a little bit different than cleaning but I really wanted to create a new command center in our kitchen all I had before was just our menu board and I would sometimes have a counter on there but I felt like I didn't really use it that way and so this I think is going to be really really nice all of these items came from the target dollar spot recently they were only five dollars each I actually shared them in one of my recent vlogs so I will add them up in an AI card up here if you guys have not seen that blog and I am just going to be attaching them to my wall using command strips and as usual I'm not really measuring things I am just eyeballing it to where they look good and then making sure they're level and calling it a day and that is how I get it done in my house [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so I just came and put no into bed this is the third time this week that he has taken a nap and he hasn't hot been taking naps for a long long time look how sweet he is but now while he's sleeping the other boys are occupied I'm going to go ahead and get back to work [Music] mistakes eleven [Music] so for now I am just putting the old magnets that I had on my previous menu board but I'm actually going to be ordering some labels from one of my good friends her Etsy shop is heart of this home design and she's the one who's made so many things for me she's made my pantry label she's made my pantry sign my laundry sign my summer decor signs just everything she is so talented so I'm definitely going to be having her make some labels for our menu board and I think it's going to turn out so cute but for now we are just making do with what I have [Music] another word moving into the living room I just needed to tidy this up although it looks like it was kind of crazy in here it really wasn't that bad there wasn't a ton out it was actually just some bigger items left out along with a few toys of course [Music] dreaming up find another time [Music] and here it is here is our new couch I am so excited for this we have been looking for a couch for months and months and months just looking for something that would have a little bit more seating for our family and whenever Kyle they went on a date recently we ended up at a furniture store and we found this couch and we just thought oh my gosh this is the one who's been looking for we were so excited it really fits the space perfectly so now the only thing that we are looking for with this couch is a new rug and also a ottoman because this couch kind of really needs it so soon enough hopefully we will find a new ottoman and a new rug and this room will kind of get pulled together [Music] my friend in my office I was just kind of clearing this space out this has definitely become a big catch-all in this room just because it's a room that we don't go in all the time I'm usually in here working and editing on my videos but the rest of the family doesn't come in here too often and so I feel like it's just so easy to set things in here and kind of let them be and it's out of the way and we don't even notice all the clutter in here but I do have to come in here pretty often and get it back in order and I did want to mention I had gotten these new suitcases for a girls trip that I had a few weeks ago and then also for Kyle's in my 10 year anniversary trip that we are taking up to New York this fall and we just did not have any luggage anymore and so I needed some new ones and I ordered these off Amazon and I love them they are so cute they come in a ton of different colors from my one trip I have taken with them they seemed really durable so I would definitely recommend looking into them if you are in the market for some new luggage I always have all of my Amazon favorites linked in the description box below in case if you guys are wanting anything that you see in my videos [Music] oh you also know discipline sunshine we found the goal we thought we'd be forever young but now I know we can't get floatin we have to fall this is the beat of broken heart [Music] keeps it in mind I guess you're getting motivated [Music] I'm giving way too fast way too fast [Music] Oh baby can't you see me [Music] [Music] the last spot in my home that I was cleaning on this day was my master bedroom that's usually my go-to when I go to clean the house is just cleaning up the main living area and then also the master bedroom I don't always go into the kids room because it doesn't really get that messy and the boys have their own responsibility of cleaning up the playroom usually and so with that I don't usually go in there all the time and cleanup for them and on this day I felt like I had so much to do that I definitely did not have time to do that and so the last area on my list was just the master bedroom and I feel like having your bedroom clean just creates such a sense of peace and an area in your house that you can go to and just relax and unwind I just feel like it makes such a big difference [Music] so as I had mentioned earlier I had just gone on a girls trip about a week ago and I was just filming this the day after I gotten back and I'd shared in a recent clean with me video that I have just found the importance of coming home off of a trip and getting everything unpacked I feel like it just takes the biggest weight off of you instead of having all the luggage laid out and all the clutter and just having that big item on your to-do list for days and days or even a week it really tends to weigh on you so I would suggest trying to make this your number one priority when you get back is unpacking everything and getting everything put in this place and I promise it will give you such peace you will want to start doing this every single time you get home from vacation [Music] I can sit on a night I can sit on a tile I can't sit on a night I can't in a darn are you blood right now [Music] I have found new ways but no I can't be the one that you need [Music] maybe maybe [Music] [Music] the last laundry that I had to do on this day was just to put away some she said I just washed and I had struggled for years and years and years I'm not figuring out how to fold a fitted sheet let me know in the comments if you have mastered folding a fitted sheet or if you just kind of ball it up and throw it in the closet and just don't worry about it because it feels like it's almost impossible I will say that there are tons and tons of youtube videos specifically on how to fold fitted sheets so if you're trying to figure it out just know that you can do it that is like seriously something I struggled with so long and now I'm so happy that I actually know how to do it [Music] maybe [Music] [Music] [Music] baby we got [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] never be without [Music] [Music] you know [Music] so I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope this gave you all the cleaning motivation that you are needing today I hope you guys have an incredible day you deserve it do not forget to subscribe down below if you are not already I have a ton of really great videos coming up for you guys I do not want you guys to miss out on them and I will see you in my next one bye [Music] [Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel today I'm going to be sharing a declutter organized and clean with me so no matter what kind of motivation urinating you are completely covered we are going to take those mundane tasks that we have to do every day and we are going to get motivated together and tackle them one by one so today I'm going to be cleaning almost my entire house from top to bottom and then kind of decluttering a few areas in my house as well and then once I'm done cleaning I am going to tackle my Monica's closet if you guys have seen the show friends you know exactly the reference I'm talking about so without further ado let's get into this cleaning [Music] I got my dancing shoes alright so we first started out in the living room I was working on this day but as you can see we are still home in summer mode right now and so I had all the kids just help me in the living room I just kind of tidying up the space a majority of it was either the throw pillows that they threw on the floor or all their toys so I had them go ahead and tidy this up with me and then bring those up to the toy room which we all work together to put away upstairs [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I've mentioned this before but I usually have them clean their toy room every day however in the summertime we kind of struggle with routines and while they do do most of their chores we are not as diligent about making sure their playroom looks really nice and so they probably only clean this a few times a week maybe like three or four times a week instead of every day and so with that being the case the toy room often ends up looking a mess like this but when it does get this messy sometimes I will come up and help them out because I feel like when I send them in on their own when it's looking like this they just become overwhelmed and it takes them so long and things don't get put away right and so me spending a few minutes in here with them it really makes a big difference but also this system I have in place in here which is just these bins and the queue organizers it makes cleanup so quick and easy especially when all of us pitch in [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] and to Vegas in my district or just riding shotgun and she looks like stop it she's got the styler makes you think she's made uh-oh she said she likes it better when we go off [Music] I'm gonna make a whistle [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] video on [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh [Music] next I just moved into the hallway and usually I don't do too much to this area but as you can see we had a ton of books and when we have so many books it's really hard for the kids to kind of put them away correctly especially our two younger boys and so I really wanted to go through just very quickly and just get rid of some books that we never really read anymore this guy got the Sun in my eyes hey can't get better don't [Applause] [Music] moving into the bathroom this wasn't like a deep-clean kind of day I just needed to clean the toilet because I am a boy mom and this is a almost daily task and then I just wanted to wipe down the counter and also the mirror [Music] [Music] [Applause] with me she's got to clean the mirror I am just using my eat cloths and I mentioned in a few videos back that I would be having an e cloth coupon for you guys and that is now in the description box so if you guys would like to save 10% on your order you can go ahead and check out that coupon code and save yourself some money and get some of the best cloths out there I love these things [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you draw the foreigner yes oh that looks so good where's the steering well where's the wheel and truck well you tried to draw the wheels or you forgot actually are you gonna go drum okay okay sounds good bye [Music] [Music] okay okay thank you [Music] moving into the boys room the boys had already made their beds so I didn't really have to do too much in here but one thing that I have not been diligent on this summer is dusting upstairs especially just because I am not really in like a full-blown cleaning routine right now I do do my morning and nighttime routine I have not been so great about my weekly cleaning routine I'm definitely looking forward to getting back to that this fall but I feel like in the summer we're more in survival mode and so this is something that definitely gets pushed to the wayside let me know where you guys are at and if you guys have started back with school yet our boys are starting in about a week so we have one more week of summer and we're just trying to soak it up as much as we can but while I am definitely still in summer mode I'm really looking forward to getting all of those routines back [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] while the boys were occupying themselves at the table I just went ahead and started tidying up the kitchen it wasn't really too terrible in here we just had some things left on the counter and so I wanted to clear that off before I started working on the dishes [Music] so I wanted to share something with you guys that unless if you're over on Instagram you probably didn't know about but a lot of you guys have been aware that I've been struggling with maybe some thyroid issues and just some different health issues and I recently found out within the last week that I have something called Hashimoto's it's basically a thyroid autoimmune disease and so because of that I'm kind of having to try to change my diet around and I wanted to get your has thoughts if you guys would be interested in seeing any food related content like grocery hauls or cooking videos or recipes or what I eat in the day let me know if that's something that would interest you I would probably end up including those in my vlogs but just leave your thoughts down below I would love to hear if that's something you were interested in seeing or not really going on so here [Music] Oh time cuz I got some questions [Music] now it's time for my favorite part of any cleaning video I love cleaning the sink and I feel like it's just so therapeutic and so satisfying so I'm gonna let you guys enjoy this part a lot of you guys have mentioned that you love this just as much as I do so here you go [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] memories for bittersweet intensity [Music] so for the last of our months I've been using these glass soap dispensers but I decided I wanted to try something without a pump and so I actually went to Target the other day and I was looking for like an oil and vinegar type bottle that just had a spout so that I could just kind of pour the dish soap out and I found these adorable oil and vinegar bottles so I decided to get them and try them out and so far I have been loving them I think it gives a totally different look it's really cute and it's honestly just a little bit more convenient without having to pump your bottle every time you can just tip it over and you're good to go so I will leave these link down below in case you guys are looking for them but like I said they are at Target so you can find them there [Music] [Music] say you're sorry when is just for the bear [Music] [Applause] now I'm just wiping down my counters with the method to see salt and lime spray this is one of my very favorite summer sprays I feel like it's so bright and fresh and I'm really trying to use these scents up because I know as soon as the fall scents are coming out I'm definitely going to start gravitating towards those and start using those for the rest of the year [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so know what you need you nothing but the best for me so most of the time to clean my floors I like to use my Dyson vacuum but I've been finding myself sleeping a lot more since we don't have any carpet in here we just have the hard floor and so for some reason I have just started sweeping a lot more often I'm not really sure why we are still in the market for a rug and I've been really looking into the ruggable rugs a lot of you guys have been recommending those to me so once we find a rug I'm sure you will see me bring out my vacuum again but for now I am just enjoying this newfound one to start sweeping my floors I know it's crazy [Music] I gotta figure it out right now so know what you need you want only the best and nothing but the best for me also I wanted to mention what this is every time I show this I get a ton of questions so this is a central vacuum system basically you just weave all the dust and dirt into this little area right here and it will suck it into a big canister that we have in our garage and it's something I never knew I wanted and now that we have it I love it so much [Applause] [Music] with you the mix of our penises on paraffin our devotion stay true so I can be in on this photo I gotta figure it out what you need you won't nothing but the best from me I gotta figure it out [Music] what you need okay so now that the house is clean I am tackling this closet that I have been putting off since close to a knee moved in it just started becoming the closet that we never really used but we just kind of threw things into like I said in the beginning if you guys watch friends you know what I'm talking about but basically on the show friends there's a character named Monica and she is very neat and tidy throughout her entire apartment however she has one closet in her house that it's locked and someone ended up opening it up and when they opened it up they found everything imaginable it was just crammed full of everything in there and it was just basically anything that didn't have a home she would put in that closet and kind of keep it out of sight out of mind and this is my Monica closet like I said I've been putting this off for a really long time and just kind of adding to the craziness of it but I thought that this could actually be a really great space to put things for our kids back to school time so this is a place where they can keep their winter coats or their backpacks or just any extra things like that that don't really have a good home that are kind of bulky and so that is my whole goal for this closet so the first thing I have to do is just take everything out of the closet and get it wiped down and vacuumed out so that I can start with a clean slate [Music] when you call my name make me lose my game when you call my name I go crazy cuz I can't escape when you call my name when you call my name [Music] lies can disguise [Music] the shortstop making all I hear is an echo the words of receipt [Music] [Music] so I know this looks like a complete mess out here and it is but there is a method to my madness so all of these things are actually things that we are going to be getting rid of and then everything else in the other corner are things that we are going to be keeping and then once I clear this out a little bit I will be going through those items and just deciding if these are going to be going back into the closet or I'm going to be storing them or what we are going to do with all these items [Music] have this feeling [Music] caught me [Music] so if you've been a part of my channel for a while you have seen these cube organizer been throughout my house I love them I think they are still functional and they've made them look really nice over the years so this is always one of my go-to is what I'm looking to organize a space and these are very affordable this one is just from Walmart I'll link it down below for you guys and it also comes in several different finishes so you can get it to match your own space so the only tricky part about this is I actually had to build this one in the closet because our doorway is pretty small here and so I knew that I wasn't going to be able to fit it in if I built it outside and then be able to have enough room to put it in so what I did is I just took a Dollar Tree bin and I basically built the cube organizer right on top of it and that way it kind of would hold it up for me and I would be able to get those bottom screws in and then from there it was pretty simple then I would just build it as usual it doesn't take very long to put together at all and it really makes the space so much more functional [Music] - - me well let you go to my because I know [Music] [Music] Oh Sophie [Music] do you want me to do so much well that did not work out at all actually okay all right that's the hard part now we're together so what deep in my mind see the [Music] the place is prologue why cuz I don't know it it'll be there's still way down [Music] that you got me thinking [Music] so my thoughts with these bins is to be able to put extra shoes or extra boots or just whatever various items that we need for the boys during the school year into these cube organizer bins down below and then they can also hang up their coats and the top of the cube organizer gives them a space to put their backpacks and I also wanted to include this little organizer right here so that anytime they have homework or library books or just extra papers they can all put them in their own little drawers and they don't get lost throughout the house and I'm also using my Mabel's Labels and it's shared in a few videos back I love them I will link them down below but that way they know exactly which one is theirs you're truly seems cuz I don't [Music] [Music] so I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I hope this gave you all the cleaning and organizing and decluttering motivation that you were needing and if you are new here and have not subscribed to my channel be sure to subscribe down below I would love to have you I hope you guys have an amazing day and I will see you in my next one bye guys [Music] [Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel so today we are going to be doing something a little bit differently of course you are going to be getting some cleaning motivation but I'm also going to be sharing some additional motivation throughout this video so not only are you going to get motivated to clean your home and make it a place of peace for your family and yourself you are also going to be getting some cooking motivation where I'm going to be sharing a dump and go crock-pot recipe as well as some motivation to get some food prep done so without further ado let's jump on into it [Music] [Music] so the first thing on my list is to get everything cleared off my counters and that way I can jump into my dishes and get those all cleaned up so usually this is our boys job to empty out the dishwasher every morning but we had a busy morning on this day and the boys just didn't really get around to this and then Kyle was home and he actually took them out to go get some things for our basement so I definitely didn't mind emptying out the dishwasher on this day since this is something they usually take care of [Music] I did want to mention to you guys that I just passed my two years on YouTube I can't believe it's been this long and at the same time I almost don't really remember life before YouTube as many of you know I started my channel as a hobby after I was coming out of postpartum depression and it quickly became so much more than that thank you again so much for coming along this journey with me [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you're gonna be there all the way all the way [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so if I stay would you be lying to me God got away memories our mistakes we can never make it read my reception sleeps right what [Music] so this is not really doing any food prep I don't like to pre wash our fruits that we get left out just because I feel like they usually go back quicker if I do this and we will just wash those items right before we eat them but what I will do is I will set them out on our table and I feel like it just encourages us to eat more fruits instead of like crackers or anything like that and that way we have a lot better chance of grabbing something healthy or just snack fun [Music] [Music] once I had our dishes all cleaned I just started wiping down our counters with my all-purpose eat cloth this is one of my favorite things I use it all the time I do have a coupon code in the description box if you decide to order one for yourself but they are incredible you don't have to use any products only water and they also disinfect with just water which is so convenient and really cool I also was just wiping down our chairs and I have to say I really am loving the white chairs if you didn't see the video where I painted those I will link that up above for you guys I thought that I might end up wiping them down a lot more because they were white but I found that they don't show a lot of like oils and things like that and so I'm actually wiping them down a lot less now that they are painted [Music] [Music] once everything was put away and the surfaces were all clean it was time to start making dinner so I will have a recipe card pulled up for you guys so you can go ahead and screenshot that so to make this recipe you're just going to cut your onion and that's really the only prep that you have to do once you are done cutting your onion you just add the chicken into the crock pot dump your onion in add your cans of tomato and your spices and your garlic and your oil and you are good to go and then you can just cook it on high for three to four hours or on low for six hours and then depending how you want to serve it you can just serve it alongside your favorite sides or you can also shred it up and put it on top of salad or pasta so this is a really great gluten-free and dairy-free crock-pot recipe if you guys are eating that way as well I am currently eating dairy free and gluten free since I recently got diagnosed with Hashimoto's which is a thyroid autoimmune disease but of course you can make your own alterations to this recipe if you choose [Music] once dinner was started it was time to get going on the food prep so I just started by pulling all of our produce out that I had recently got on a big grocery haul or a grocery shopping trip and I set all of it out on her counter just that I wouldn't forget about anything food prep is something that I used to do regularly and I've honestly gotten really lazy about it and I haven't done it that regularly recently so it felt really good to take all of my produce out I will usually do this the same day that I go grocery shopping and I will just devote about an hour to getting all our fruit prepped out for the week it makes such a difference it will really decrease in your produce waste and it definitely encourages you to eat a lot healthier throughout the week I know for my family a lot of times we will go for the healthy foods like fruits and vegetables for snacks but if they are not prepped out then it's a lot more convenient to grab a bag of chips or some crackers or something that is less nutritious for you so this way you're just devoting a little bit of time in the beginning for a lot of benefit and a lot of time saving in the end [Music] [Applause] a first item that I'm going to be prepping is our grapes this is something that seems like you don't really need to prep it but honestly just pulling all of them off the vine and pre washing them and putting them in a bag makes it so much easier and it really makes the snack effortless another thing that we do with grapes sometimes whenever they go on sale and I stack up like this because I will put them in a big freezer bag and I will just stick them in the freezer and then you can pull them out and they are perfect to add into lunches and then they also kind of taste like little popsicles they're super super delicious if you have not tried that out before I urge you to try it it is so good [Music] [Music] [Applause] next I'm just going to be prepping out our carrots I really do like getting whole carrots as opposed to baby carrots even though they are a little bit less convenient my whole family really prefers the flavor of whole carrots versus baby carrots that's the biggest reason we get them and the more that you can get things in their most natural form I feel like is the best and one other thing that I like to do with carrots is I prefer to get them organic they are really not much more expensive to get them organic and then that way I'm just able to scrub them off and I don't feel like I need to peel them it just takes one less step away and that's definitely a win in life [Music] the next thing you'll see me do with almost all of our produce prep is to add a layer of paper towels at the bottom and the reason I do this is just because it really helps take away some of that moisture and that will really help prolong the life of your produce you don't need a whole lot just a sheet or two and it will just make the biggest difference [Music] this next one is pretty self-explanatory I'm just chopping up some washed English cucumbers these are my favorite cucumbers and one of my favorite snacks I have mentioned this and a lot of my grocery halls but one of my favorite ways to eat this if not my favorite way is to actually dip the cucumbers in buffalo sauce it's such a delicious snack super easy and super guilt-free [Music] Zadie what do you mean [Music] [Music] [Music] one thing that I love doing is when I go to the grocery store I like to shop what's on sale that usually will mean that item is in season and that's usually why it's on sale which I feel like you are going to get the most nutrients when you shop in season and you're also going to be getting the best prices and the best bang for your buck right now a ton of berries are still in season and that is one of my favorite things about summer is just all the fresh fruit and a ton of berries for a really affordable price I always miss this when fall comes around because all of a sudden like you just get a lot of apples which is great but you kind of start to see those berry prices slipping up but during the summer we love having fresh berries around another thing to think about when you are doing your food prep or your produce prep is to not only prep things that you are going to be snacking on but also prep a little extra and that way you have really great meal starters so for example we will definitely snack on these peppers but we are also going to be cooking with the peppers and so I wanted to cut a few extras right away and that way when I know like I'm making fajitas later this week I don't have to cut up the peppers I can just grab them and toss them in the pan and it's one less thing that I have to do on a busy night it just saves a few extra minutes and those extra minutes are definitely a lot more useful later on the week when that's really busy on a school night or something versus when I have everything already out and I don't really have to spend a whole lot of extra time doing it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] another thing that I love is just getting these broccoli florets that are already pre chopped sometimes I feel like they are just as good of a deal as getting a whole head of broccoli just because you're not wasting all that stem and the reason I like to take them out of the bag and put them in my own container is just it's a lot easier to go ahead and get them out of our container versus getting them out of a bag and then having to put the bag back together it also keeps them a little fresher this way and then also even though they come pre washed in the bag I just like to wash them one more time myself and so for those reasons I just find it beneficial to still put it in a food prep container [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I'd rather be blue there hearted will braid just be smarter whatever to get back from you I know that the night has just started get up don't be bothered get out and find some things to do [Music] that is everything this really took me less than an hour to get all this done and I got so much food prepped out for the week this is going to save me on busy weeknights when school is starting this week it's also already saved me so much on just snacking I feel like only half of this is left already it's just really encouraged the entire family to eat healthier because instead of grabbing something unhealthy we can just as easily go in the fridge grab a few pieces of carrots or broccoli or whatever the case is or a few strawberries and sit down and have a healthy snack that you don't have to feel guilty about later but you also didn't have to do any extra work for in the moment that you wanted so I know this video was a little bit different than my traditional clean with me videos that I always share but I hope that you really enjoyed this let me know if you guys would like to see this style video again let me know if this motivated you to go into your kitchen and food prep for the rest of the week I feel like it just makes the biggest difference when you're able to put in a few extra minutes in the beginning and then you just get to enjoy eating healthier throughout the rest of the week without having to take a whole lot of time later on I hope you guys have the most amazing day do not forget to subscribe down below if you are not already and also head over to Instagram and follow me over there I like to share a lot of behind the scenes over there and just some personal life so definitely go follow me over there and I will see you in my next one bye guys [Music] [Music] [Music] hey guys welcome back to my channel today I'm going to be sharing a fall decorate and clean with me I am so excited to share this with you guys I have been kind of struggling this year to get in the fall mood and I'm finally there and I am just getting so excited to start welcoming at the fall weather it's not quite arrived yet but in her house is totally fall so the first thing that I wanted to do was just start by cleaning out my kitchen I'm going to be cleaning the entire main living area of the house and then also taking down all of our summer decorations and then we will go ahead and start getting into decorating for fall [Music] living in the past I'm feeling it tonight riding on the dizzying [Music] so normally it's one of the boys chores to unload the dishwasher every morning but in the last few weeks we have started school and so we're just kind of starting to get back into routines and water routines really make life a lot easier we are just kind of in that adjustment phase right now so the boys didn't end up having enough time to unload the dishwasher this morning before they headed off to school so that's why I am just doing that here [Music] back no going back there's no going back to you [Music] I'm feeling it tonight riding on the dizzying [Music] [Applause] [Music] back no going back there's no going back to your [Music] I'm feeling it tonight riding on the dizzying [Music] [Music] [Music] I need to be happy too thanks to the dust not love just to mess up and tell the truth all I hear is a college in the words of seeds [Music] when you call my name make me lose longing when you call my name cuz I can't when you come once all the dishes were done I just needed to put some new fresh flowers in our vase Kyle actually picked these out and I was super excited because he didn't pick out any crazy colors or anything he just picked out some way because he knew I was going to be decorating for a fall and so he thought these would go well with everything which I thought was super sweet you guys know that I usually always go for carnations but he just decided to switch things up this time and get a different kind I'm not even sure exactly what type of flowers these are but I think they are so gorgeous and just the white goes with everything so I love them right now [Music] lies get skies [Music] the shortstop [Music] next I just wanted to take a moment and redo our menu board I actually had not redone it since I did our lunch video if you have not seen the back-to-school kids lunch video I will link that up above for you guys but I just wanted to take a few minutes really quick and write out the rest of our meals for this week it's been kind of an adjustment phase for me trying to figure out what exactly I can eat because as a lot of you know I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's recently and I have to eat dairy free gluten free and sugar free I'm also not eating soy and not eating corn items so there are tons of things that I can still eat but it's definitely changed of our meal plan a little bit [Music] next I just wanted to take a minute and show you guys how I seal our granite countertops I mentioned this in a previous video I can't remember exactly which one it was but I had mentioned that I usually seal our granite countertops every 6 to 12 months and a lot of you guys were curious you had never heard of what that was you didn't know you could do that yourself and I will link down below the item that I use I just get it from Walmart but it's pretty inexpensive and we just do this every 6 or 12 months ourselves and it makes such a big difference and I feel like it really helps protect your countertops make them last a lot longer and look a lot nicer as well so as you can see the first thing I'm doing is just clearing everything off of our countertops and then I'm also just going to wipe everything down with the multi-surface cleaner i'm of course using my all-time favorite the apple cider mrs. Meyer scent this is finally in storage right now and grove also has it I do have a link down in the trip ssin box if you are interested in getting some of the fall since this year that link is going to give you tons of free goodies so be sure to check that out and then once I get our countertops all cleaned off I will explain exactly how I go about sealing our countertops look it's my car there's no one where's your head let me go my side let me go outside [Music] so I am just using this granite countertop sealer as I had mentioned I will link this down in the description box for you guys and all you do is just liberally spray your countertops make sure you get a really good coat on there and then you just let it sit for about five minutes and if you notice that it's seeping in right away go ahead and spray another coat on it and then after five minutes you will just go back through with a dry cloth and just kind of rub any excess away and that is all there is to it so I usually do this about every six to twelve months or once I notice our countertops are not beating like when you get water on them they don't bead and that is just kind of my first sign that I'm like oh yeah I got to go ahead and get these sealed again [Music] [Applause] [Music] you came you are special yeah you're special everything about you is so beautiful [Music] there's no [Music] [Music] [Music] not you there is no tomorrow [Music] [Music] I feel like during this summer when we don't have as many routines we end up kind of eating on the go more or we eat at the countertop a lot more often and sometimes even in the living room and I think that because we have not been eating at the table as regularly as we usually do during the school year it's definitely become a catch-all so I'm really hoping that with the school year starting and getting back into our teens that will become more of a thing again where we just eat our meals at the table because I really do think that time is really nice as a family and it definitely helps when I know that we are going to be eating there I don't just let that place become a catch-all for us [Music] [Music] into the living room it really wasn't too messy I've found that during the day the house definitely doesn't get as messy when we don't have all three boys here we have Liam in part-time kindergarten that's just how they do it here in Utah or at least in the school that we are at and then Luke is at school full time and then Noah is just at home with me so as you can see I finally got an ottoman and I asked over on Instagram what you guys thought about this I feel like when I bought it I was going to go ahead and just paint the lakes white a lot of you guys said leave it the color it is and a lot of you said paint it white so I would love to hear your feedback on what you guys think [Music] as I was dusting everything off I just started taking down items that I knew I was not going to be using for fall there were a few pieces of decor that kind of could go for any time during the year and so I wasn't exactly sure if I was going to use some of them so I kept a few things up and then you'll see you later on I took down probably most everything but I figured while I was there I would just take down anything that was for sure summary that I wasn't going to be leaving up for fall [Music] [Applause] okay so I picked up the boys from school fixed my crazy mains or postpartum hair what everyone colleagues and I actually picked up a little bit of fruits because as you saw our fruit ball it was completely wiped out looking pretty there but we have our rug and an ottoman even though I have to do some things with them I think I also does this look different I rearranged in here so I moved the couch the couch was right here and it made this walkway kind of small Seifer this couch over in the corner and then I took the bookshelf that was over here and I laid it on its side here is what it looks like when you walk in I am going to have to kind of like change this wall around because this was based off having the couch here or like a sitting area but I love it when it's not piled up with stuff it's so cozy to sit in here I have like our little printer back there my desk and stuff is still the same you know still a mess in here right now what do you guys think yes No not sure about it yet let me know your thoughts you definitely to change up this wall either way [Music] but how we do it with the truth a say so face the breaking point and I don't care if I go down with it the way I see it there's no point cuz in the end it's all about [Music] Tony knows [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] once everything was totally clean I just needed to do the floors and so I am just going to be taking my vacuum throughout the entire floor and as you guys can see we did get a new rug I ended up going with the ruggable rug a lot of you guys had recommended them to me and I have to say so far I really like them they are definitely a lot different there is actually like a Velcro pad on the bottom that kind of holds the rug down but otherwise the rug is so thin which it has to be so that you can actually wash it in your washing machine but it's really different and I'm not totally used to it yet but we do really like it so far [Music] can't stay long in this town [Music] their hope it really seems cuz I don't know [Music] [Music] [Music] no time feel it come it's outside never felt like this in my life I put in a minute awaken my spirit you got me thinking [Music] [Music] finally once everything was clean it was time to pull out all our fall to core and get it looking like fall in here [Music] [Music] so see tips that I wanted to share and that I've probably shared in the past with you guys is when you're decorating your kitchen you really don't have to do a lot if you have a windowsill in your kitchen you can set a few little festive items in there always adding a dish towel is super easy very inexpensive and it really makes a nice little statement in your kitchen and another one that I always do every single season is I change out the wreaths that I have on our pantry door I know a lot of people don't put wreaths on their pantry doors but I've done this for the last few years and I really really love the lids [Music] final [Music] baby pretty [Music] show so much better [Music] excuse me Queens [Music] little water believe it kick your shoes off you don't have to hide it baby into the living room and onto our fireplace mantel this is always my favorite place to decorate in our house I got this big sign from Hobby Lobby I am not really sure what to call these but these little flower hanging things we're so cute I found them from Amazon they were $20 I believe for a pack of two and there's something that I think you can keep up all year round you can just change the flowers if you want or you can leave them as they are but they kind of go with all the different seasons and I love how affordable they were and I really loved how pretty they are and kind of unique [Music] [Music] and I know I never measure anything but because I wanted these ones to be perfect and I think that I'm going to end up leaving them up most all of the year at least I really wanted to make sure that I measured them correctly so I was measuring here even though I pretty much don't ever measure anything [Music] sweetie you know laughs - sure so let's not waste another minute [Music] beautiful sound [Music] [Music] you gotta tell me what's on your mind wait little while you gotta take a deep I can make you smile when I let you into my bed where will it end if I let it bake you it's true go tree you know life's too short so let's not wait too light [Music] you Oh [Music] when I was decorating I actually felt like I was going way more minimal than I ended up being but I still really liked it last year I ended up adding in like a lot of little leaves and a lot of pics and just a lot of extras that honestly made it kind of hard to dust everything and keep it clean so this year I just kept some big items out and a few small groupings but I didn't do a bunch of extras and I really really love how it turned out [Music] another [Music] it's alright but I don't know if I can take another go-round [Music] I do have some new pillow covers that should be here later this week these are just some of the pillows that came with a couch for me got it and also some that I had already set out from summer I'm not really sure that they go with a new couch so much or with the new rug so I'm definitely going to be changing those out but for now this is what we had so this is what we'll do but I really do love ordering pillow covers from Amazon that way you don't have to store a bunch of extra pillows and they're also washable [Music] moving into my office if you saw my fall shop with me when I went into Big Lots they had a lot of these really really pretty fall florals and I feel like it could get a little bit too girly for the entire house and honestly I'm not sure if it's like a hundred percent fall but I do love it a lot and so I wanted to incorporate some of these into my office because that is kind of my space not everyone comes and just hangs out in the office all day but I am in here a lot and so I thought this would be the perfect place to kind of incorporate some of these new items [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you won't grow up and I'm getting tired [Music] [Music] [Music] so this is how everything turned out I hope you guys enjoyed watching I hope this gave you a ton of cleaning motivation to get your home looking amazing and feeling nice and peaceful and I also hope it gave you some inspiration and ideas to start decorating for the season it does not fall outside yet we are still having some 90-degree days but the temperature is definitely starting to drop and I feel like once the kids go back to school I'm just ready for fall it's no longer summer so it's time to just start filling the coziness of fall fall is definitely my favorite season and one that I love decorating for so anytime I can bring those feelings into our home I feel like it just makes me so happy [Music] [Music] I hope you guys have an amazing day and I will see you in my next one bye guys [Music] [Music]
