you enjoy so i really hope that i am motivating you to get up and clean up the mess right now if you guys watch my last video then you now know i was not lying when i said my house was a complete disaster and honestly my whole house is a complete disaster and it is going to take me several videos to bring you that real life clean motivation so i am going to be breaking this up in several parts i'm starting today in my living room and there is just so much stuff everywhere if you guys have been around you guys know that i had a really rough month with the passing of my uncle and it was like ever since that happened it just was all these unexpected spontaneous things that i had to do and deal with so my house took a back burner and that's okay sometimes life events come up and we only have so much time and energy in our day especially as mamas so we just sometimes have to put the house on hold and that's what i did i've done it for quite some time it's been a few weeks ever since like i said my uncle passed away i had to kind of step up into you know moral support mode for my aunt all while i was grieving myself and so it was just a rough month where i needed to focus my energy and time on other things besides the house and so this is where i'm at dealing with this complete disaster right now if you guys notice i had some bins in this living room that i took down to the basement these were bins full of family photos my aunt right away had asked both my sister and i to search for any pictures of my uncle and family for the photo boards for the funeral services so it just all started from that point on it was the day i found out of his passing i spent two days searching throughout all those bins for whatever pictures i can find so that took up a couple of days and then it just was like from that point on it was just non-stop the next day was saturday and we decided to go to my aunts and bring food just to you know grieve with her and be that moral support and you know just stay by her side and it just was so fresh and new and we just had to you know be there for her so you guys know my saturdays are sacred to me that's when i get most of my cleaning done so that was a week where like cleaning got pushed on the backside and then from that point on it was just like go go to get things ready for the wake and the funeral services i had to go shopping for all five of us we had no clothes to wear because you know covet and everything there hasn't been any type of events like to get dressed up or go anywhere so my kids have already grown out of whatever they had previously and then just whatever my husband and i had you know our bodies changed so we needed something new so i had a shop for everybody which was a challenge because my daughter is super picky so it took me a couple days to find clothes for that in between you know my kids school schedule homework running them back and forth to after-school events and then sitting throughout their practices and their meets and everything else and then we had the wake the funeral services and then the day after the funeral i had a pack do a ton of laundry and pack for our vacation that next day which was friday we had one away for a few days i had planned a year in advance a little getaway and unfortunately it just was bad timing it turned out right after my uncle's passing i had talked about all of that in my last video which was a house cleaning of the airbnb that we run it so if you guys want to go back and kind of catch up you can do that if you're new here but yeah so then after that it was the week of easter and again my kids had school um so you know it was their schedules and it's just like there's never enough time in the day i was doing a lot of running around for easter hitting up the stores trying to get all the food and the sides because we decided to go to my aunts and cook for her because my aunt and uncle always have easter every year that's like their holiday so this was gonna be the first without my uncle and we didn't want her to have to do anything so you know i picked up four hams i picked up all the basic sides my sister brought food she cooked food my cousins brought food we all pitched in and we literally like we woke up easter morning i gave the kids their baskets and then we got dressed and we just jetted out straight to my aunt's house which is about an hour away and then we spent the whole entire day there i did all the cooking uh with my sister and cousins and we just you know spent as long as we could there just so that she wasn't feeling too upset since it was the first holiday and it was their holiday that they had for the family um so you know just to be that moral support and just help her because she was not in any shape to you know cook and do everything and we just wanted to all show up for her so that was like literally it was just non-stop going going going dealing with all these you know unplanned life events that happen that is life and that's okay and that's why like i bring you guys these real life messes and i talk about these life circumstances because this is a real life you know like this is what happens we can't always plan everything out not everything's gonna go according to plan and work out perfectly so i really came out of my daily routine i was doing so good not to mention on my minimalism journey that you guys know i'm on i had so many decluttering piles going on which i still do that's why once i get into the other spaces of my house as i bring you guys the next videos um and we clean up those complete disasters you guys are gonna see like i have a ton of piles of things because that's what i'm doing right now i'm also decluttering because you know i was giving you guys those decluttering and organizing videos so it was just crazy everything just got put on standby and i had to just forget about it and you know jump into that moral support mode for my aunt and also i was grieving at the same time i mean like i'm still grieving like every now and again it's like feeling surface and i'm trying to really let myself process those feelings and you know really try to allow myself to feel it so it's just been crazy you guys and that is why my house is a complete disaster and so as i said easter morning we had the kids open their gifts and then we ran right out so i didn't get to really do a good cleaning so that's why you guys are gonna see i have a lot of easter remnants scattered all about and then that plastic grass my dad always drops off easter baskets before easter and he does that traditional stuff with the plastic grass and like the old school baskets so i had all that stuff around that i had to clean up and then the new toys that the kids got so it is just a hot mess and so knowing that i had to clean all day i wanted to come into this with some sort of a plan of action so that's why starting out cleaning you guys would have seen i threw all the toys into the center of the room i decided to just gather all the toys up so that i can later sort through them and organize and categorize them and the next major part of this mess was the laundry it was all clean laundry it was just like clothes that i was washing throughout the week for school but i never got around to like folding it and putting it away or hanging the stuff so i had to take care of that too and then i decided to just work my way around the edges of the room and then i'm just carrying on with you know throwing away all the garbage sweeping up any kind of garbage and dust this room was super dusty so i end up using my robo-rock automatic vacuum and then i'm also going to give it a really good manual vacuum um and i also need to do a really good deep cleaning and dust my blinds and really dust like all the shelves and the ceiling fan also i want to point out that my shirt was wet because i had like it wet in the front and wet on the side because i had to give my little guy a bath because he was playing with play-doh and then he decided to use markers and draw in the play-doh and then he decided to draw over his body and so later today we have to go to baseball practice and so i had to scrub off all that marker off of his face thank god it was just the washable crayola but still that stuff's hard to get off the skin and so yeah that's why my tank top was wet if you guys noticed that in the beginning i just wanted to point that out this is a real life messy mama life for you here i always warn you guys i ain't ever gonna look cute when i'm cleaning for the most part i will not look cute you may catch a day i'm feeling good i was able to get dressed and do it all or where i might have plans right after i'm done filming a cleaning so i have to be dressed and put together for some reason but the usual is i don't look so good when i'm cleaning so if you're coming here for that kind of stuff that ain't who i'm about so if you're still sitting around a mess and feeling overwhelmed and you don't know how to get started like just start with one small category so if it's the toys do what i did take all your toys throw them in the center of the space and then you can sit down and you can organize them you know with different baskets or bins so if you just start with that one category whether it's toys or books or paperwork maybe it's just doing the dishes start by taking the dishes out of the sink filling up the hot soapy water take that one step i always say it's the first three minutes that you need to move about and do the action and then momentum kicks in and before you know it you're cleaning the mess and if you're anything like me once that happens it's hard to stop cleaning and that's what i struggle with too that's like the ocd perfectionist of me when i did this cleaning it took me all day because i had to stop and i had to take care of other things like i had to go pick up my son from his track meet and then we had to come back and then i had a i started cleaning again then i had to stop and i had to give the kids dinner then i had to drop my daughter off at volleyball so it was just like non-stop and then later this day i had to go to baseball for my little guy so it's just back and forth back to the mess and that's why literally if you watch all the way through to the end you will see the satisfying before and after but you will also see that it's dark out and so yeah i cleaned all the way into the darkness but it felt so good to get it done so that's why i'm saying get up and just clean with me you're gonna feel so good about it once it's done [Music] a new place a new home for a while let me feel alive nothing to hold me back take my time just enjoy the pride a new man passing by life is good best i've ever felt [Music] [Music] oh i feel i feel i feel i feel so alive as i reach out reach out reach out reach out to the sky i find my way i found my way i was in the dark against it all but made it through the day cause i find my way i find my way in bad times i know i'll be okay cause i find my way [Music] cuz i find my way [Music] i was in the dark against it all [Music] i know i'll be okay cause i find my way [Music] cause i find my way [Music] my way [Music] i was in the dark again [Music] i decided to switch out my wicked baskets and replace them with the plastic white storage totes that i organize all the toys into because i really liked the open concept of these little white plastic bins they worked much better my son is able to see the toys so he knows now the trains go in one the cars go in another you know it just makes it easier for him to clean up after he plays and i'm liking it you know toddlers can be rough and that's why you'll see like my basket was falling apart so i decided to just toss it so i'm using it throughout this video as like a garbage basket to collect all the garbage that i find once those wickered sticks start breaking and coming off they're really sharp and they can hurt so i had to get rid of that one even though i'm trying to rid all the plastic it's just what i have to do when you have younger kids even though all the other ones are so pretty it's just you know what real mom life hair we just have to deal with the plastic for now [Music] therapy no [Music] for me [Music] is [Music] i want to be free [Music] but i don't need your [Music] help out of my way [Music] oh [Music] don't follow [Music] don't follow [Music] get up of my way [Music] oh [Music] what's your story what's your sign it's like with twin flames in a different life a deep connection light's a spark it's like you know me in the depths of my heart we're dreamers [Music] we come we come alive [Music] what's your weakness what's your type somehow i wanna know all about you [Music] dreams [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] tell me [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] so at this point i was feeling so exhausted you guys i have been in and out of my house running errands i had to come back home cook dinner we did homework i had to feed the kids then i had to run back out because i had to pick up my son from track then we had to do the baseball practice so i have been in and out all day and then each time i've been trying to squeeze in the cleaning and filming it has been so chaotic so i am super exhausted and i have very low energy at this point but i'm pushing through to get it done so i really hope that you guys are also feeling motivated by now and you have gotten up to start cleaning your mess or maybe you are halfway done or done completely that would be great i hope so leave me a comment below let me know were you able to get up with me and clean along with me i hope that i motivated you it feels so good to finally have all the toys picked up and i just kind of wanted to touch base on the toys i know i'm gonna get those comments people are gonna be coming at me like well why didn't you have your kids help you pick up the toys first of all you know as i explained unfortunate life events spontaneously popped up and it threw us off course it took us off of our daily routine our daily regimen which does require my kids you know doing daily chores picking up honestly you guys i was in my feelings with grief and worried about my aunt and all the things i had on my mind i just could not focus on the house and the routine and it just was too much so that's why i have this complete disaster here that i cleaned up today and i don't know about you but when you have a huge mess like this i don't know who wants to involve their kids but i certainly don't like i was overwhelmed enough to get started cleaning the mess so i definitely was not going to have my kids involved because they drive me crazy either they're going to whine because they don't want to do it or they're going to fight because one's going to want the job the other one has or they're going to put everything all over and not listen to what i want them to do so no i needed to do this this was a job for mama to get in here knock it out get it done right get it done quick so that explains that i just wanted to cover that right off the bat but it feels so good now now everything's in order and we can you know start back up on our routine of having you know my little guy pick up his toys after he plays because typically like he'll play with his train set then i want to go pull out the legos but i tell them nope we got to put the trains away first and then we go get the legos you know so he does know that we play with one set at a time but like i said i was just so busy doing stuff so i was not actively you know delegating to him and you know overseeing everything he just was pulling toys out every day and i wasn't having him pick them up and he didn't try to pick him up so you know that's the whole thing like when you're a mama you have to stay on all the time you have to be on telling the kids reminding the kids especially when they're four years old i mean i don't know a four-year-old that just gets up and does it and hey if you have that four-year-old oh my gosh please send me your tips and tricks what is it what am i doing wrong okay because that's amazing kudos to you definitely a mighty mama but yeah so that's just what happens and i mean my kid he can make a mess give him a day with all his toys and done it's over so you know not cleaning up not picking up every day like it just got worse and worse so that's why we had this complete disaster today but cleaning is also my therapy so i do enjoy like when i have these big messes i love just kind of zoning out jam into my music i have my husband deal with the kids and i'm like get them out of my hair i'm taking this time cleaning is my therapy and i actually made a t-shirt over on mighty mama power i have an etsy shop if you guys didn't know and um yeah i have that shirt cleaning is my therapy that's one of my designs i love to clean it just feels so good it's so satisfying that's why make sure you watch all the way through to the end because i am going to post before and afters of this cleaning and it's such a day and night difference and it feels so good to get it cleaned up and so as you just seen i discovered a little surprise underneath my couch which is not a surprise to me really because underneath my couches there's always a crazy mess do you guys have the same problem like when you move your couches do you find a huge mess underneath your couch i definitely did not plan on cleaning under any part of the sectional in this video i just had to move it a little bit to make some room so i can clean in this little play area here but of course my ocd and perfectionism kicked in so i definitely had to keep moving with the mess and cleaning it up i am well overdue for a deep cleaning in fact my whole entire house needs a spring cleaning and with the crazy month of april i just was not able to do any type of deep cleaning so i definitely will be bringing that your way and if you are here in the midwest like i am then you know that this weather has been so bipolar and crummy and cold so we're not really feeling spring vibes much lately so i'm just waiting for it to warm up a little bit more so i can open windows and really give this house a good deep cleaning everywhere so at least those of you who live in the midwest also you guys will appreciate those spring cleaning videos when i bring them to you so this hair is like a makeshift play area for my son because you know we are limited space in this house we are currently working on the kids room makeover because i also do you know makeovers on a budget here as well um so i will be having that come your way and i decided like i'm probably gonna put all of these play toys like the kitchen and the fridge and all this stuff in the kids room so that we can push back our sectional and we can like open it up more here and then we'll be able to like do the proper configuration with the sectional and i decided i'm going to take the rug out it makes this little space look less cluttered and then i will finally be done cleaning this living room so i really hope that this video brought you that real life clean and motivation i really hope you are up cleaning with me and you are also finished by now and if you are new here i know that i talk a lot that is something i do that's part of my channel if you're not into all the talking you can easily mute me and play your own music and clean along with me that is always an option but this
