Home Tour For Our Family of 19

hi it's Nancy with real mom real solutions I am a mother of 17 kids so my five oldest kids are married and have moved out of my home um but I still have 12 that are living here um however my other five pretty much live here just don't sleep here anyway they still come over a lot along with my seven grandkids so we have a very full home a lot of you have been asking for a new home tour and we've made a lot of Chang changes uh we did a video on our crazy Home Makeover so we're going to show you guys a little more detail on that and going to go through some of the things that I love about it and some of the things that I wish I would have done different or things I still want to change scary before we get into that please like And subscribe if you haven't already and let's get started hi this is our house so this is the entryway and it looks I absolutely love the Dome and the circle this what do you call it Circle staircase spiral the spiral staircase there you go our our spiral staircase that we and we yeah and we restained and the kids they and they already wore it down because we didn't do enough enough um clear coats and because they slide down the banister yeah it looks scary actually but they've never gotten hurt all right what's next all right so this is our music room/ study room um and we actually changed it before we had like a computer station thing going all across there um we changed it over here and lightened it up we repainted and I like it so much better um we only have the two stations but really we only had two stations before anyway it just was a long two stations now it's condensed a little bit but it gave us a lot more seating that's more comfortable um we also have the seating over here so Al together in our entryway area we have quite a bit of seatings which my husband uses this for meetings a lot of times um or the kids use it I think more for anything they just play in here even though they're not supposed to all right so then it moves into our kitchen um the kitchen we did change the paint but it's very similar to how it was so probably not going to look too much different to everybody um we did uh change a little bit on the decorations but I love having a round table when they when everyone is sitting up to the table for meal time it just feels like you're closer to everyone instead of the kids clear down on the other end um so I do really enjoy having a round table we have a lady student but not cleanest right now that's that's normal for it to be not this clean or not that clean unfortunately this is clean for how the kids clean then that's pretty pretty clean so and a lot of you asked in my last video and said he must have a maid we don't have a maid I would love to have a maid but our maid is me and my kids so this is clean because the kids cleaned it when I clean it it might look a little different um we have two dishwashers we only had one in our last tour um we added in another dishwasher which has been so much nicer it's a lot easier to keep up on the dishes so another um thing that I added into my kitchen is I just put one of the I don't know what these things are called but awesome yeah a shelf that pops out anyway so I have my Bosch and my blender on there um and it just gives us a more of a work more working space I guess and it's easy to put it away so that it doesn't have to be out and fluttered all the time but we use them often enough that it was worth installing that so that was just something that we just installed ourselves one thing that I do still want to do to my kitchen is I want to repaint my cabinets but that is going to take a lot of work and col will be pretty expensive so I actually want to do them kind of this color right here I don't know what color that is looks like it's brown brown just kind of a light brown color I just don't like the yellow look of them anyway I actually consider doing them white but I don't know we'll see I don't know if I want white and I definitely don't want dark so I Medi Brown I just don't like the yellow that they are but yeah that will be way down the road I'm sure oh it's a matter did you fall down you get now did you fall upstairs Okay [Music] no Okay and then we go into a laundry room with which I redid the laundry room and I've already done a video on that so you've seen this before but it's a lot nicer than it was and sorry we're in the middle of using it so our irons out but um we used to have a stackable washer and dryer with a cabinet on the side of it we switched over to the larger units so they're not stackable anymore but it's a lot nicer and it's just seems a lot nicer in here um this is our changing station we have a lot of kids as you know so this uh just makes it convenient for changing kids we have basically a changing station on every level of the house so it's it makes it convenient and really easy to change the kids when you need to um then we have a bathroom which I just have the lights that go on automatically because our kids are little and kind always reach the door the that's light switched but um we changed out the sink we used to have a really dumb sink in here that was hard for the kids to use so we changed it out to a regular sink and put in storage for tissue and stuff in here um um and yeah painted it a lot lighter so just kind of brightened it up yeah that's our bathroom and then we have a garage here we haven't made any changes to the garage either but we'll show you guys um yeah our B barely barely fits in here in fact it's to the centimeter like we have to actually touch the back and the front like if you're not completely backed in it doesn't fit you have to cut shrock out yes so it is a very tight squeeze but I was determined to park in here so much nicer um we have a h system for the kids or not a system what do you call it storage Cubbies for their coats and backpacks and things anyway so right when they get out of the car they can put their stuff here do they absolutely not but they have that option they're supposed to what about those over there uh these oh our fridge yeah we have full two freezers and the fridge freezer um for all of our food grocery Hall yep our grocery huls um so anyway with the Cubbies and each one of the kids have three hooks in their cubby um so they can have well that one's missing one so they have a hook in the back and two hooks on the sides one for backpacks coats and jackets um anyway so they store all their stuff in there and then they have a a spot at the top of each one of them um to put like their gloves and hats and scarves and whatever um the whatever that they have um Becket should we go in the house come on he likes ice and then we have a freeze dryer that we just recently purchased so we're actually going to do a video on some of the different things that we've been doing for that Dron she got a playay kit for Christmas and she's been uh making all sorts of of stuff so that's pretty cool she very artistic hulia Becka likes too yes there he goes all right see that Jungle Gym downstairs paying off oh yeah oh my goodness you can watch it just don't time up there okay Julia make sure you're safe don't let him fall okay okay okay so then we come into our family room good morning did you wake up from here now hi sweetheart still kind of creepy okay so this is our family room um we changed the color paint in hair it made it a lot brighter these are our Cubbies and I absolutely love having these when the kids do their jobs they find something that belongs to a to one of the kids then and we're actually in the middle of putting names on them we just updated to a new bin but um each one of the kids have their own bin and you put their stuff in their bin and then at the end of the day then they empty their own bin that way the kids aren't running around to all the bedrooms trying to put stuff away messing up other people's rooms and taking a lot longer on their job so it just keeps everything in a central place um and makes it faster to clean we used to have an entertainment center and we took the entertainment center out into the fireplace just cuz it kind of made it more space I guess um and it gave us a bit of a fireplace this house unfortunately did not have a real fireplace one of these days we might have to put a real one in but yeah one of these days so that's something that I would like to do in the future but it'll be a little ways out in the future um and then our couch actually fits all of us on it so our whole family will fit on the couch um so this room is pretty big it's uh anyway it's nice cuz we can actually all be in here at the same time and then we have another a second garage here um which right now is a working garage we have um it's a project garage a project garage there you go we've got a car that it's in the middle of getting fixed I got it working but the engine blew there you go yep yep he did he got it he got it working and then the engine blew so now he's kind of got some more all right so in the kitchen is the stairway to go downstairs and we actually changed a lot of stuff in our basement um we made a daycare room okay so we moved our two little girls out of the nursery and we put them down here so we'll show you their bedrooms but uh this is our daycare room um we have like a kitchen center with the dress up stuff over here in the mirror all that stuff um and then we have the store so this is kind of all the dramatic play area uh which the kids absolutely love it's like her definitely her favorite area of the daycare room um and then we put in a jungle gym and we bolted it to the floor and the wall so it's pretty sturdy um our old kids actually get on it even though they're probably not supposed to but it's pretty sturdy anyway so and it um yeah it's got like the the slide and it's got a slide and the climbing wall and swings and anyway so I mean it's it's kind of small but it's big enough that that the kids can get a good amount of climbing in out of their system um and then we have uh this is kind of our baby area and we have the baby stuff and uh more just lots of bins and toys sorry NS okay honey it's it's okay come here give me hug I'm sorry I didn't see you do you want to show everybody all the toys you want to show the toys you just W up and all on me huh so we have our baby toys and dinosaurs and uh like this magnetic blocks and puzzles and all sorts of stuff there's lots of bins of toys over there and castles and playhouses and anyway the kids absolutely love this room so we have the baby toys on the wall I don't know you probably already showed that um and then this is our theater room and it is not the cleanest we actually had family sleeping here over Christmas and they kind of left their blankets and bottles and stuff all over so just kind of ignore the mess but it's kind of dark in here and I guess that's the whole point of a theater room but so this was actually an in the house when we moved in um so but it's been nice to have now we very self actually use it I wouldn't actually put one in if I if it wasn't already here but yeah but it's here so we use it every once in a while and it's nice um this is one of the kids' bedrooms this is ny's bedroom huh you share with Juliet is that your bed yeah do you like your new bed she doesn't sleep in it very often a lot of times she starts in here and then she comes up in the middle of the night and gets in her other bed she is very attached to her other bed but um anyway so we have two of our girls in here um we repainted this room made it a lot brighter it used to be really dark it still is kind of dark in here it's just kind of a dark room it has a window but it's um the window that's under the deck so it's kind of dark show those toys what you should show show the wall toys oh yeah so in the daycare room so this is like the baby area they have all of the Just the wall toys the kids actually really like this of all ages the older kids will actually sit there and play with it too so not just for babies but you claim it's for babies and then they play with it too but and then uh and then we come in here this is um the changing area so we changed diers in here so this is our changing station for the daycare anyway just in the basement so we use it for whenever we need to um and then we have a bathroom right off to the side of it with a shower and so the girls use this as well as daycare come here do you want to help us show and then we have a kitchen in here that we use to feed the kids at daycare um I usually cook everything upstairs cuz I don't like having food in both places so much and we still have some here cuz we'd have a fridge but we usually cook the food upstairs and then we just serve it down here for the most part but so it's just a small kitchen but it works out really nice to have off right off of the daycare room and then we have a girls' bedroom this is the other two girls bedroom so this is um Porsche's and Ashley's bedroom and they just have a double bed that they share but they actually like that a lot Nancy actually tries to sleep with them in here too they actually they like sleeping with somebody instead of in their own bed so yeah I know a lot of people judge judge me on that but that's okay that's what they like so hey and then we'll go back upstairs and show you the bedrooms upstairs okay so this is our game room and we repainted everything up here we put in the brick wall um I don't think we had the arcade games in our last tour uh we actually my husband's father used to own a coin operating machine company a dist distribution anyway so uh that's kind of just something that was sentimental to him so we actually got a bunch of arcade games and stuff and the kids actually love them which is nice cuz you don't have the internet access type stuff and the kids can just play without you don't have to worry I guess with everything that's online um anyway so we have several different arcade things and of course we do still have the Xbox and switch that we let them play occasionally but um this is just the game room area what's up boys what's your favorite game Halo fortnite fortnite what's your favorite arcade game oh you like that just off to the side when you first walked up to the upstairs then we have our Nursery um so come in here uh this this is where we have our new baby his crib and Becket we moved over to the toddler bed and that's nany's bed that she's trying to transition out of we'll be moving the rocking chair over there as soon as we get rid of her bed al together but she's still kind of stuck to you like that bed so she comes up in the middle of the night a lot of times and climbs into that bed where's your bed Nancy over there you have a bed downstairs too yeah you have two beds huh okay one of these times we might just have to take the old bed just move the old bed downstairs yeah move the old bed that might work and then out of the nursery you can come in here to the master bedroom so this is our bathroom we did not repaint anything in our bedroom or bathroom I almost did I came so close to it my bedroom it's not too terrible it's just kind of a yellow color but so here's our bathroom we have a shower um and a the bathtub separate and then we have the his and her closets they're both walk in I don't think you want to go in there though it's it's not the cleanness so we have our baby sleeps in here for the most of the time or well all the time actually but we have the crib that we will be moving them into um anyway so and then we have the two rocking chairs they're kind of small but it made so we could fit two of them in here so we like that a lot um yeah so I did change out my bedding from last time to try brighten it up so it used to be a dark blue so we brightened everything up with the white and light gray uh but I did not paint in here even though I still want to so that's one of the things that I still want to do in the future but I don't know if that's going to happen and then you come in here and this is our uh workout area so it's just kind of a loft that overlooks the family room um but we have our like bench set up and um we have like walking treadmills that we use to get walks in so we just have them they can take them in and watch TV while you walk or whatever we have one underneath my husband's bed as well so that's kind of nice we can walk together um and then it leads back around into the game room area so it's just kind of a circle and then come down this Hall and we have another laundry room up here which it is a mess we did not go through and clean it big bag garbage and yeah and one of my kids love going through the crafts and pulls everything out all the time so it is it is not clean in there but I guess it's maybe a typical laundry room at least for us it's typical and then the boys have their bathroom in here so it's just a shower or bathtub shower um toilet area and then they've got the two Saints okay there you go okay so uh this is three of the boys's rooms we had our two boys in the nursery and we have three more boys in here so we have two double bunk beds so there's two boys in one bed and one boy in the other bed and I guess they built a tent in here so and this is their version of clean so I know it's not clean but I didn't help them this time so this is how it looks um they have all their bins so there's three boys in here so one each boy is a different color the top bins are seasonal clothes um so like right now they have shorts or uh swimsuits and tank tops or whatever in their seasonal bins and then they'll have regular clothes and then the winter will switch them out um and then uh their closet is mainly their toys and we have I think extra blankets and pillows and stuffed animals that they don't really play with so stuff that just kind of needs to be cleaned up really but anyway so they've got their their Toy Bins and and then they have shoes um shoe bins and Toy Bins over here looks like they need to rearrange some of them no Mom okay and then we've got two more boys in here um and again they don't really know what clean is either but at least they can see the carpet so to two more boys are in here so this is William and James okay so this is our 16-year-old room um so he does have his own room so we have eight boys in the house our oldest son has been is married and moved out so he's no longer here so we have eight boys in the house they're all upstairs this is our office so we actually shared this office we kind of made it into a studio so um this is like my husband's kind of side of it anyway so he's got his workstation I've got my work station um and then we have an area where we can even have meetings and stuff and well have our kids in here so we built this bench in um to have more seating in here um and then you probably recognize this this is kind of where I do a lot of my videos um anyway so this is our office though and yeah it's a lot more user friendly it used to be extremely um tight and crowded it felt like there was no room it's actually got quite a bit of room in it we just opened it up um it used to have cabinets all along the sides and the back um with the big desk in the middle so we just kind of cleared it out and uh did our desk along the outside edge and it anyway made it a lot more user friendly and gave us a lot more work working room thanks for touring my home with me let me know in the comments what you thought if you want to see what my house used to look like you can watch this video and thanks for watching
