Can I just say that I love that you are NOT ultra minimalist?

“Let me organized my stuff in peace! Thank you.”

Love it!!! Right there with you 💕💕

[i.a.]

When I started watching your videos my immediate thought was "This woman is a saint!" You are so calm and honest and have 8 kids! Inspirational.

“That’s what she said” hahah channeling your Michael Scott haha!

For reference her name is Dana K. White and she wrote Decluttering at the speed of life and Organizing your home without loosing your mind. Both books worth reading, more than once.

For the toilet brush, i keep my canister filled with pine sol (which I dump out and refill every once in a while. After I use the brush I flush a couple times and let the clean water rinse my brush off so that it's somewhat cleaner before placing back into the pine sol. I also pour a little bit of the pine sol into the toilet bowl when cleaning and it works amazingly! It smells so good, my brush/canister never even remotely smells bad, and no gross things grow on it since the pine sol is itself a cleaner =)

I keep things picked up, clean and always cleaning up my kitchen. Makes my days feel less chaotic. I am also very visually stimulated, so if my house if together... my brain feels more together :)

Saw Ashleigh's post, sorry for your family's loss. Prayers for comfort and peace for all.

I live for a clean sink. I also like putting a few essential oil drops in my sink in the evenings after the kitchen is closed. Makes it smell great and feel fresh in the morning!

I have 4 children & one pregnant maltipoo Dog and can’t keep anything at all tidy they make it their mission to mess stuff up.

Yes I have 3 dogs that go up on the sofas, I bought those covers and they helped, but found I need to wash them weekly, sometimes mire often, it was headache, so what I use now in between washings is King or Queen size flat bedsheets, , they work great and I can fold them and store them under the sofa cushions for a quick change when needed. Ten once a week, I wash all the dog bedding, and sheets tigether, , tat was a game changer on keeping he smells gone. I buy them at thrift stores very cheap, and I can Chang the patter and color to fit my mood.

"Between hoarders and museum" 😂❤ I can remember that. Thank you!

Yes, Shining my Sink is a game changer, not only how the kitchen looks, more importantly how I feel, it makes me smile when I see a clean sink in the morning, , great way to start the day! And throughout the day, I feel like cooking more when my sink and kitchen are clean.

I keep falling behind in a message I want to convey. This is re heartfelt changes you want to make going forward re content and new phases in life you are entering especially re adopting and raising human beings. I have watched you since you started filming. I watched because you were such a bright light. And admired your skills to get things done, and frankly, all family members looked well taken care of. I watch 5 or 6 families because they raise my hopes that good people in all walks of life still exist. I am particularly pleased to see parents that are raising smart, well tempered, and good citizens. I also enjoy homesteaders, full time sailors, and animal lovers. You are a good person, a thoughtful person, like these others. And I love your kindness and forthrightness. You have much to share. I think your photography is a great way to keep us in touch with those great kids, if that is suitable. The design and look of your site and emails is like you, easy on the eyes.

Love these tips!
Side note: Essential oils can slowly break down plastics, especially citrus oils. (Chemists wife)

I’m 21 weeks pregnant with my second child and I needed this video for motivation today! I always try to do a deep clean around the house the weekend before any holiday and I was thinking of skipping this one time… but thanks to you… I already have the living room half finished, just vacuuming and mopping left in here now. And I’m feeling accomplished! I’m also going to try that essential oil trick on the toilet brush! NOW essential oils had a candy cane one from last Christmas that I hope they bring back this year because I LOVE my house to smell like candy canes and Christmas trees all of November and December!

I finally broke down and bought the beach scent! Thank you, I'm a mama of 6 and lots of farm animals

"Well, lady.. This is my life...and I've got the stuff that I've got" hahah love this quote🥰

Woot woot- you mentioned Flylady the OG! Her methods, tips and teachings are great for side tracked homemakers 👋

We had charcoal for our fish tank filter, I’ve put some of that in containers in our bin under the bin bag. Works a treat without covering one smell with another. Absorbs the smells

Bought the sofa protector and loved it so much I bought one for my daughter (she has 3 dogs)! She loved it and bought one for her sister! Such a life changer for all of us!
