motivation

I've chosen some songs that I really love and feel like they set the mood, so go ahead, turn this on, grab something to drink and get ready to get motivated in the most relaxing way tonight, Kyle was actually. working late so the kids and I were starting to clean up the living room, as you can see outside it wasn't completely dark when we started however it was around 9 o'clock.

I don't know what it's like where you live. but where we live it doesn't get dark until about 10 o'clock, so I start having the kids relax around 8:30 or 9 o'clock and so on tonight because I was filming and having to clean the house. I asked them to help me in the living room and then sent them upstairs to have a movie night. You shine this time. I shop very slowly, if only you could show it to me soon, please, soon, once the boys are all settled upstairs in the room. game room, which is where they usually sleep at least during the summers and on the weekends they always love sleeping in the game room whenever they sleep together, they are always excited to do so, so once they were all settled upstairs, I just moved to the kitchen. and I started cleaning everything and putting things away and the first thing I always do in our kitchen before I tackle dishes or anything else is always clean the counters and I feel like this is something that I do in this order just because it's something that I You immediately see a difference and anytime you can see that difference right away, it really motivates you to keep going.

I just had to take out our recycling. I'm still thinking about buying a real recycling trash can, but for now I'm just using this old wicker basket and it works great. Beautiful in the background. Beautiful people talking below. I'm starting to load our dishwasher. This is something I usually do every night. If you've seen my nightly

Routine is even more important than a good morning

routine

because it simply 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. Beautiful, sometimes we just

. out beautiful beautiful woman title you love it down beautiful all the things I didn't say knocking down balls inside my brain upright with my whole face I found wrecking balls inside my brain along with my whole face once I had all our dishes hand washed o loaded in the dishwasher. I just wanted to clean our sink and usually I end up using some dish soap, but tonight I just wanted to make our stench shine really nice, so I used the lady's soap.

Myers Baking Soda Cream Cleaner, this is definitely a cleaning staple in my house and has been for the past few years. I actually get it from the Grove collaboration. I'm not sure if you can find it at Target, you might be able to, but I definitely would. I recommend checking this one out, it's abrasive enough to clean things without scratching the surface of anything and it also leaves a really nice shine so you guys are going to love this one and as I mentioned before I get most of them. My collaborative Grove cleaning products, so I'll have a link below in case you want to check them out.

Why did you bring me back? Maybe it's easy. We kept it in a box my group found one of these days. Keep things really easy tonight. I'm just using my e-cloths with water. This is just the general purpose cloth and this cloth has amazing technology where you can sanitize with just water so it's one of my favorites and then I just go behind with a glass and a polishing cloth and that's just for dry our granite and give it a nice shine and I should have an e-fabric coupon code for you within the next few days, so if you want to order them, check the description box again and that code should be waiting for you.

I also wanted to mention if you missed my last video. Finally, and I mean it, finally, because this took me a whole year to do or to achieve. I was actually figuring out what I wanted to do, but I finally redid our kitchen chairs, so if you remember, they used to be dark brown wood and I went ahead and painted them white and then left the seats dark brown to tie them together. with our table and we love them so much do the sweetest thing you are so this is a special video for me because it's actually the last video I'll film with this couch.

We have had this sofa since we lived in the South. Dakota, we have had it for several years and it has been a very good sofa for us, but we feel like we need a little more seating and as you may know, we have been looking for a new one. 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 my date nights with Kyle recently, we went furniture shopping and we found the perfect couch for us, so we're. I'm so excited about this new couch, we love it, but that just meant we had to say goodbye to this couch, so I wanted to go ahead and remove the pillows and wash all the pillowcases and then I also wanted to give this couch away. a very good cleaning since we were going to get rid of it.

Oh, I'm crossing you, it's in the system once the couch was completely cleaned, it was time for Kyle and I to move this to the garage and let me tell you. This thing is very sturdy, so it was a very heavy couch, but when we moved everything out of our living room, our living room looked so empty that it actually made it seem a lot bigger and it just reminded us of our first night in the house and we didn't have furniture in the house or anything, it was a nice feeling because it's not often that once you live in a house and you're not moving, you take out your furniture, but it was really cool to see this space open again, you know, the feeling is just keep running and this is another real life moment for you, this is probably one of the things I didn't like the most about this sofa, because it is so sturdy.

It has a steel frame along the entire bottom, so it's not something you can crawl under with our vacuum cleaner. Every time I wanted a vacuum underneath I would have to have Kyle hold it up and then vacuum underneath it and it was just a great process. and as you can see I couldn't vacuum under it very often and a lot of things that were left under it another time in a row, I went over this entire carpet almost with this vacuum and I felt like I'm not vacuuming very well and you can see I'm confused trying to figure out what's going on with this and it turns out there was a toy from one of the kids games inside and it was blocking almost every section so I had to go back and vacuum the entire carpet one more time.

We're going to buy a different rug because this one doesn't really fit the new couch and I also want something that isn't furry. Well rug, I love the feel of shaggy rug. I feel like because it's such a used space, it's just a space where I want a rug that's easier to clean, so if you have any recommendations on where to get a rug or if you have any ideas on what type of rugs would look good in this space, let me know or message me on Instagram. I would love to have some ideas because we are currently shopping for one, guys, don't cry, the last thing I had to do here was just keep going, sweep and mop, and even though it was very late and I was getting very tired, I just wanted to hit This whole floor a really good mop, it's definitely not often that you barely have anything. furniture on the floor, so I really wanted to take advantage of that, when he's gone, we become what we don't cry.

The name of the mop we used tonight is by far my favorite mop I have ever had and it is the Eat Cloth Aqua Spray Mop. I love it because I hate mopping and this makes it so much easier for me and it also sanitizes the floor with just water so I feel like it's a big win if you're interested in purchasing one. yourself, like I said, I should have a coupon for you guys within the next week, so I would recommend waiting until I get that coupon for you guys and it will save you a little bit of extra money, but I would definitely recommend checking.

Get this mop out, it's amazing, so I hope you enjoyed this After Dark Queen with me and I hope this gave you all the cleaning motivation you need today. I'm so excited to share your big reveal of our new couch if you're following me. on Instagram you may have already seen the little sneak peek I shared there, but if not, the sofa reveal will be posted next week, so stay tuned for that video. I hope you have an amazing day, don't forget to subscribe below. If you're not already, head over to Instagram and follow me there and I'll see you next time, bye guys, hello guys, welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another messy house, clean up with me.

I feel like I've done it. I've been sharing a ton of these this summer and I feel like summer has really thrown most of my routines out the window, aside from my nighttime routine. I still really try to do it, but obviously that doesn't happen every day. night because otherwise my house wouldn't get to this point, but the good news is that when my house gets so dirty, it gives me the opportunity to give you guys a very good cleaning motivation, so on this day, as you saw, was starting. with my laundry I had a ton of laundry to do so I wanted to go ahead and get started and then I could just be up and running while I did the rest of the chores.

I have also received many comments. from you guys about how I edit my videos and how you really like how I edit them so I hope you're enjoying, I always try to make my videos a little bit different and I just put something extra in them just to somehow make them a little bit more attractive and something that can really get you excited and ready to go so I hope you guys are enjoying it too, but let's move on and get back to cleaning and making our houses look good. So moving into the kitchen, I just wanted to clean everything off the counter, as you can see we were left with a bunch of playdough.

This was mainly because Noah got into this before and I usually asked them to go ahead and clean up with me. but Luke had started to not feel well that day and so he was lying down and then I decided to go ahead and let the kids hang out for a while and they'll come do their chores here in just a little while. a few minutes I think I'm already innocent this morning you don't want to talk about it I agree to talk until the fighters it still happens every night you know I need you but I'm so sick it's not up your alley, it would be like that It's hard to leave it but every night they whisper I wish I could walk out that door.

I better need to play. You could keep dancing so we burn to ashes. Because you keep playing with matches. It is not like this? I see you're running out of seconds. possibilities but a cigarette like you don't know anything it's the first one I have to pay for there's something ninja Tyson has me crawling I'm not sure I want it any other way I don't now what you see Curtis you don't want to live it would be too difficult Go away, I don't know, the night we continued fighting in the taxi. I hate having to play it cool, just keep dancing so we'll burn to ashes, because you keep playing with matches.

Isn't it that I love you? I decided to show throughout this video the daily life of mom whoIt happens while you guys usually only see me cleaning for a long period of time. There are definitely times when I have to turn off the camera and really attend to my kids, as you can see. he was struggling a little bit and then I had to pause the camera for a second and go help him and then once he felt better I just went back and did it again. All I ever wanted was to make us work hard because I don't want to spend my life without you, nothing else matters when you say my name I only worry once the sink was clean I added a few drops of essential oils I always show you this and many of you swear by it now if you're struggling with a smelly sink go ahead and add a few drops of essential oils and it will make a big difference right there once i add those oils i'm putting my soap station back together which consists of my collaborative stoneware tray of growth, 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 to clean our countertop.

I'm just using the lady's brush. Meyer's multipurpose spray with basil scent. This is one of my favorite scents for the lady. Meyer's and many of you have asked me if you can clean granite countertops with all-purpose sprays. I'm not going to tell you if you can or not. I've heard it both ways, however, we seal our granite countertops regularly so I feel like that helps protect the stone a lot, so when I notice that liquids aren't hitting the top of the countertops, that's when I'll reapply them. seal and I will protect them again, so if you ever have any problems with your granite countertops, I would definitely recommend looking into sealing them.

It has made a big difference for us. He put me in line by putting things aside. What do you have in mind? She's awake all the time. What are you trying to find out? I have Mija now to clean my stainless steel appliances. I'm just using the E Cloth All-Purpose Cloth, followed by the E Cloth for Glass and Polishing Cloth. Every time you use any cloth you just have to use water and they worked great. I have tried it. A lot of things throughout the year trying to keep our stainless steel appliances looking good and scratch free and this has definitely been my favorite line.

By your side, then I started doing something a little different than cleaning, but I really wanted to do it. creating a new command center in our kitchen, all I had before was just our menu board and sometimes I had a counter there but I felt like I didn't really use it that way so I think this is going to be really really cool . Well, all of these items came from Target Dollar Spot recently, they were only five dollars each. I actually shared them in one of my recent vlogs, so I'll add them in an AI card here if you haven't seen that blog and I.

I'm just going to attach them to my wall using command strips and as usual, I'm not measuring things. I'm just looking at where they look good and then I make sure they're level and I'm done for the day, and that's how I do it at my house, so I came and got into bed. This is the third time this week he has taken a nap and he hasn't taken a nap in a while. Look how sweet it is, but now. While he sleeps, the other children are busy. I'm going to go ahead and rework mistakes eleven, so for now I'm just putting up the old magnets that I had on my previous menu board, but I'm actually going to order some. labels from one of my good friends, her Etsy shop is the heart of this home design and she is the one who made so many things for me, she made my pantry label, she made my pantry sign, my laundry room sign, my summer decor signs, everything, she's very talented so I'm definitely going to ask her to make some labels for our menu board and I think it's going to be really cute, but for now we're just making do with what I have.

Another word moves to the living room. I just needed to sort this out, although it seems like it was crazy to be here, it really wasn't that bad, there wasn't a ton, there was actually just a few larger items left along with some toys of course, dreaming, find another time and here it is here is our new sofa. I'm very excited about this. We've been looking for a couch for months and months and months just looking for something that had a little more seating for our family and every time Kyle went on a date. We recently ended up in a furniture store and found this sofa and were like, OMG, this is the one I was looking for.

We were so excited that it really fits perfectly into the space, so now the only thing we're looking for with this. The sofa is a new rug and also an ottoman because this sofa really needs it so soon I hope we find a new ottoman and a new rug and this room will be fixed. My friend in my office. I was like Cleaning This Space has definitely become a great place for everyone in this room just because it's a room that we don't go into all the time. I'm usually here working and editing my videos, but the rest of the family isn't.

I don't come here very often and I feel like it's so easy to put things in here and let them be and out of the way and we don't even notice all the clutter in here, but I have to do it. Come here quite often and put it together and I wanted to mention that I had bought these new suitcases for a girls trip I had a few weeks ago and then also for Kyle on my 10th anniversary trip that we are taking. to New York this

fall

and we were out of luggage so I needed some new ones and I ordered them on Amazon and I love them, they are so cute they come in a ton of different colors from my only trip I ever took.

With them they seemed really durable, so I would definitely recommend looking at them if you are looking for new luggage. I always have all my favorites from Amazon linked in the description box below in case you want some of what you see in my videos oh you also know discipline sun we found the finish line we thought we would always be young but now I know we can't float we have that falling this is the beat of the broken heart keep it in mind I guess you are Motivating me I'm giving in too fast, too fast.

Oh baby, can't you see me? The last place in my house I was cleaning that day was my master bedroom, which is usually my spot when I go to clean the house. It's just cleaning the main living room and then the master bedroom as well. I don't always go to the kids' room because it doesn't get as dirty and the kids have their own responsibility to clean the playroom usually, and so on. I usually don't go there all the time and clean for them and on this day I felt like I had so much to do that I definitely didn't have time to do it, so the last area on my list was just the teacher. bedroom and I feel like having your bedroom clean creates a sense of peace and an area in your house where you can go and just relax and unwind.

I feel like it makes a big difference so like I mentioned earlier I had I just went on a girls trip about a week ago and I was filming this the day after I got back and I shared in a recent cleaning video with me that I discovered the importance of coming home after a trip and getting everything unpacked I feel like it takes the biggest weight off your shoulders rather than 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 suggest you try to make this your number one priority when you get back: unpack everything and put everything in this place and I promise it will give you such peace that you will want to start doing this every time that you arrive home after the holidays I can sit on a night I can sit on a tile I can't sit on a night I can't on a damn you're blood right now I've found new ways but no I can't be the one that maybe you need maybe the last clothes I had to wash that day was simply putting something away.

She said that she just washed it and that she had fought for years and years and years. I don't know how to fold a fitted sheet. Let me. know in the comments if you master folding a fitted sheet or if you just roll it into a ball and throw it in the closet and don't worry because it seems 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, know that you can do it. It's something I struggled with for so long and now I'm so happy I know how to do it.

To do it, maybe honey, we will never be without you, so I hope you enjoyed this video and I hope this gave you all the cleaning motivation you need today. I hope you have an amazing day. They deserve it. Do not forget. Subscribe below if you haven't already. I have a lot of really cool videos for you. I don't want you to miss them and I'll see you in the next one. Bye bye. Hello guys, welcome back to my channel today. I'm going to share with me a neat and clean place, so no matter what kind of peeing motivation you are completely covered, we are going to perform those mundane tasks that we have to do every day and we will motivate ourselves together and tackle them one by one, so today I'm going to clean almost my entire house from top to bottom and then I'll tidy up some areas of my house as well and then once I'm done cleaning I'll tackle Monica's. closet, if you've seen the show folks, you know exactly what reference I'm talking about, so without further ado, let's get into this cleanup.

I got my dancing shoes, so we started in the living room. I was working on this day, but. As you can see, we are still at home in summer mode right now, so I had all the kids help me in the living room. I just tidied up the space, most of it was the throw pillows on the floor. or all of their toys, so I asked them to put these away with me and then take them to the toy room, where we all worked together to put them away upstairs. I mentioned this before, but I usually have them clean their toy room every time.

However, during the summer we have a hard time with routines and even though they do most of their chores, we are not as diligent about making sure their room is clean. game room looks really nice, so they probably only clean it a few times a week, maybe three or four. times a week instead of every day and with that being the case the toy room often ends up looking like a mess like this, but when it gets this messy I sometimes come over and help them because I feel like when I send them on their own, when it looks like that, they just get overwhelmed and it takes them a lot of time and things don't save well, so spending a few minutes here with them really makes a big difference, but also this system that I have in place here , which is just these containers and the line organizers, makes cleanup very quick and easy, especially when we all pitch in and go to Las Vegas in my district or just travel shotgun and she seems to be enough, she has the shaper, it makes you think.

She went uh-oh, she said she likes her better when we go out. I'm going to make a whistle video on Oh, next I moved into the hallway and I normally don't do much in this area but as you can see, I had a lot of books and when we have so many books it's very difficult for the kids to put them away properly, especially our two youngest kids so I really wanted to go through them real quick and get rid of some books that I never really read anymore this guy gave me the sun in my eyes hey I can't get better don't go to the bathroom this wasn't a day deep cleaning, I just needed to clean the toilet because I'm a boy mom. and this is almost a daily task and then she just wanted to clean the counter and also the mirror with me, she has to clean the mirror.

I'm just using my cloths to eat and I mentioned in a few videos back that I would have an e cloth coupon for you and it's now in the description box so if you want to save 10% on your order you can go ahead and check that code coupon, save some money and get some of the best fabrics. there, I love this stuff, you draw the foreigner, yeah, oh that looks so good, where's the address? where is the steering wheel and the truck? Well, you tried to draw the wheels or you forgot, actually, you are going to play the drum.

Okay, okay, it sounds goodbye. Okay, okay, thank you. I walked into the kids' room, the kids had already made their beds so I didn't really have to do much here, but one thing I haven't been diligent about this summer is dusting the upstairs, especially since in I'm actually not completely ruined cleaning routine right now. I do my morning and night routine. I haven't been so good with my weekly cleaning routine. I definitely hope to get back to that this fall, but I feel like in the summer we are more in survival mode, so this is something that definitely gets put aside, let me know where you are and if you have started back to school, our kids will start in about a week, so we have one more week of summer and we're just trying to absorb it as much as we can, but while I'm definitely still insummer mode, I really want to recover all those routines while the kids were busy at the table.

I just went ahead and started. tidying up the kitchen, it actually wasn't that terrible here, we only had a few things left on the counter so I wanted to clean them up before I started working on the dishes so I wanted to share something with you, unless we're on Instagram and probably You guys didn't know it, but many of you have been aware that I've been struggling with maybe some thyroid issues and just a few different health issues and I recently found out, in the last week, that I have something called Hashimoto's it's basically an autoimmune disease of thyroid and that's why I have to try to change my diet and I wanted to get your help.Thoughts: If you guys would be interested in seeing some food related content like grocery shopping, cooking videos or recipes or what I eat in the day, let me know if that's something you'd be interested in.

I'd probably end up including them in my vlogs, but just leave your thoughts below. I'd love to know if that's something you were interested in seeing or if it's not really happening, so here. Oh it's time because I have some questions, now it's time to watch my favorite part of any cleaning video. I love cleaning the sink and I feel like it's so therapeutic and so satisfying, so I'll let you enjoy this part. Many of you have mentioned that you love this as much as I do, so here are memories of bittersweet intensity, so for the last of For the past few months I have been using these glass soap dispensers, but I decided I wanted to try something without bomb, so I went to Target the other day and was looking for an oil and vinegar type bottle that just had a spout. that I could just pour the dish soap in and I found these adorable oil and vinegar bottles so I decided to buy them and try them and so far I've loved them.

I think they give it a totally different look, it's really cute and Honestly it's a little more convenient without having to pump the bottle every time, you can just tip it over and go, so I'll leave these links below in case you're looking for them, but like I said, they're at Target so you can find them there say sorry when it's just for the bear now I'm just cleaning my counters with the method to see salt and lime spray this is one of my favorite summer sprays. I feel like it's so bright and fresh and I'm really trying to wear these scents because I know as soon as the fall scents come out, I'll definitely start gravitating towards them and start wearing them for the rest of the year so you know. what you need is best for me so most of the time to clean my floors I like to use my Dyson vacuum but I have been sleeping a lot more since we don't have carpets here we just have the hard floor and for some reason I started to sweep much more often.

I'm not really sure why we are still in the rug market and I have been doing a lot of research into the ruggable rugs that many of you have. They've been recommended to me, so once we find a rug, I'm sure you'll see me whip out my vacuum again, but for now I'm just enjoying this newfound one to start sweeping my floors. I know it's crazy, I have to figure it out right now. so you know what you need, you only want the best and nothing but the best for me. I also wanted to mention what this is.

Every time I show it I get a ton of questions, so this is a central vacuum system, basically you just weave all the dust out. and dirt in this little area here and it will absorb it into a large container that we have in our garage and it's something that I never knew I wanted and now that we have it, I really love with you the mixture of our penises. paraffin our devotion remains faithful so that you can be in this photo. I have to find out what you need. You will do nothing but my best.

I have to find out what you need. Well, now that the house is clean, I'm boarding. This closet that I've been putting off since I almost moved my knee started to become the closet we never use, but throw things into, like I said at the beginning. If you see friends, you know what I do. I'm talking but basically on the show friends there is a character named Monica and she is very clean and tidy throughout her apartment however she has a closet in her house that is locked and someone ended up opening it and when they opened it I found everything imaginable, it was packed with everything in there and it was basically anything that didn't have a home, she would put it in that closet and keep it out of sight and out of mind and this is my Monica closet like me.

I said I've been putting this off for a long time and it's just added to the craziness, but I thought this could be a great space to put things for our kids for back to school, so this is a place where they can store their winter coats. winter or your backpacks or anything extra like that that doesn't really have a good home and is a little bulky and that's my goal for this closet so the first thing I have to do is just take everything out of the closet and clean it and vacuum it so I can start with a clean slate When you say my name you make me lose the game When you say my name I go crazy 'cause I can't escape When you say my name When you say my name, lies can disguise the shortstop making everything I hear be an echo of the words of receipt, so I know this seems like a complete mess 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 get rid of and then everything else in the other corner is stuff that we're going to keep and then once I clarify this a little bit, I'll go through those items and just decide.

If these are going to go back in the closet or I'm going to put them away or what we're going to do with all these items, I got caught up in this feeling, so if you've been a part of my channel for a while. You've seen these cube organizers all over my house. I love them. I think they are still functional and have been made to look great over the years so this is always one of my go tos, it's what I look for to organize a space and these are very affordable, this one is only from Walmart.

I'll link it below for you and it also comes in several different finishes so you can match it to your own space, so the only tricky part about this is that I actually had to build this one into the closet because our entryway is pretty small in here, so that I knew I wouldn't be able to place it if I built it outside and then I would have enough space to place it. What I did was I took a container from Dollar Tree and I basically built the cube organizer right on top of it and that way it would hold it up and I could put those bottom screws in and then from there.

It was pretty simple so I would build it as usual, it doesn't take long to put together and really makes the space much more functional. Well, I'll let you go to me because I know, Oh, Sophie, right? I want him to do it so well that it didn't work out at all, actually okay, that's the hard part now that we're together, so in the back of my mind I see the place is the prologue why because I don't know. There's still a way down that got me thinking, so what I'm thinking with these bins is being able to put extra shoes or boots or just any items that we need for the kids during the school year in these cube organizer bins underneath and then they can also hang their coats and the top of the organizer cube gives them space to put their backpacks and I also wanted to include this little organizer right here so that any time they have homework or library books or just extra papers they can all put them in their own little drawers and don't get lost all over the house and I'm also using my Mabel labels and sharing them in some videos.

I love them. I'll link them below, but that way you know exactly which ones. one is one of them, it really seems like I'm not, so I hope you enjoyed this video and I hope this gave you all the cleaning, organization and order motivation that you needed and if you are new here and haven't subscribed to my channel Be sure to subscribe below. I would love to have them. I hope you have an amazing day and I'll see you next time. bye guys, hello guys, welcome back to my channel, so today we are going to do something. a little different, of course, you will get some motivation to clean, but I will also share some additional motivation throughout this video, so not only will you get motivated to clean your house and make it a place of peace for your family and yourself You will also receive motivation to cook, where I will share a crock pot recipe, as well as some motivation to prepare some food, so without further ado, let's jump into it.

So the first thing on my list is to clean everything off my counters and that way I can jump on my plates and clean them. Usually this is our kids' job, emptying the dishwasher every morning, but we had a busy morning. on this day and the guys just didn't realize this and then Kyle was home and he actually took them out to go get some stuff for our basement so I definitely didn't mind emptying the dishwasher on this day since this is something what they generally deal with. I wanted to mention that I just spent my two years on YouTube.

I can't believe it's been so long and at the same time I barely remember life before YouTube like many. You guys know I started my channel as a hobby after I was coming out of postpartum depression and it quickly became much more than that. Thank you very much again for joining me on this journey. They will be there all the way. So if I stay, would you be lying to me? God escaped from memories, our mistakes, we can never make him read, my reception sleeps well. So this isn't really preparing any food. I don't like to pre-wash the fruits we receive.

It's excluded just because I feel like they usually come back quicker if I do this and we'll just wash those items right before we eat them, but what I'll do is place them on our table and I feel like that just cheers us up. eat more fruits instead of crackers or something and that way we have a much better chance of having something healthy or just a fun snack once all the dishes are cleaned. I started wiping down the counters with my all-purpose dining cloth. This is one of my favorite things. I use it all the time.

I have a coupon code in the description box if you decide to order one for yourself, but they are amazing. You don't have to use any product, just water and they also disinfect. with just water, which is very convenient and really cool. I was also cleaning our chairs and I have to say I really love the white chairs. If you didn't see the video where I painted them, I'll link it above. Guys, I thought I might end up cleaning them a lot more because they were white, but I found that they don't show a lot of similar oils and things like that, so I'm actually cleaning them a lot less now that they were painted once everything was put away and the surfaces were clean, It was time to start making dinner so I'm going to show you a recipe card so you can go ahead and take a screenshot of it so to make this recipe I'm just going to cut up the onion and that's really the only prep that's going to happen.

What you have to do Once you're done chopping the onion, simply add the chicken to the crock pot, pour in the onion, add the tomato cans, spices, garlic and oil. and that's it, then you can cook it on high heat for three or four

hours

or on low heat for six

hours

and then depending on how you want to serve it, you can serve it along with your favorite accompaniments or you can also crumble it. Pick it up and put it on top of salad or pasta, so this is a great gluten-free and dairy-free crock pot recipe if you guys eat that way too.

I currently eat dairy-free and gluten-free since I was recently diagnosed. with Hashimoto's, which is an autoimmune thyroid disease, but of course you can make your own modifications to this recipe if you wish. Once dinner started, it was time to start meal prep, so I started by taking out all the products that I had recently made a big grocery purchase or shopping trip and placed it all on her counter just so I wouldn't forget about anything Food prepping is something I used to do regularly and honestly, I've gotten really lazy. about this and I haven't done it as regularly lately, so it felt really good to get all my products out.

I usually do this the same day I go shopping and will spend about an hour picking all of our fruit. prepped for the week makes a huge difference, it will really cut down on produce waste and definitely encourages you to eat much healthier during the week. I know that in my family we often opt for healthy foods like fruits and vegetables as a snack, but if they are not prepared then it is much more convenient to grab a bag of chips or some crackers or something that is less nutritious for you, this way you only spend a little time at the beginning to many benefits anda lot of time saving in the end, the first element that I am going to prepare is our grapes.

This is something that seems like you don't really need to prepare it, but honestly, just take them all out. the vine and pre-washing them and putting them in a bag makes it so much easier and really makes snacking effortless another thing we do with grapes sometimes whenever they go on sale and I stack them like this because I'll put them in a big freezer bag and I'll just pop them in the freezer and then you can take them out and they're perfect for adding to lunches and then they also taste like popsicles, they're super delicious if you haven't tried them.

Before I urge you to try it, it's so good. The next thing I'm going to do is prepare our carrots. I really like buying whole carrots instead of baby carrots, although they are a little less convenient. My whole family prefers the taste of whole carrots versus baby carrots, that's the main reason we get them and the more you can get things in their most natural form, I think that's the best and another.What What I like to do with carrots is that I prefer to buy them organic; They're actually not much more expensive and that way I can remove them and don't feel the need to peel them.

You just have to take one less step and that is definitely a victory in life. The next thing you'll see me do with almost all of our produce preparations is add a layer of paper towels to the bottom and the reason I do this is simply because it really helps remove some of that moisture and that really It will help extend the life of your products, you don't need much, just one or two sheets and it will make the biggest difference. The next one is self-explanatory. I'm just chopping up some washed English cucumbers. These are my favorite cucumbers and one of my favorite snacks.

I've mentioned this and many of my grocery stores, but one of my favorite ways to eat this, if not my favorite way, is to dip them. cucumbers in buffalo sauce is a super easy and super guilt free delicious snack Zadie, what do you mean? One thing I love to do is when I go to the grocery store I like to buy what's on sale which usually means that item is in season and that's why it's usually on sale which I feel will get the most nutrients when you buy in season and you'll also get the best prices and bang for your buck right now, a lot of the berries are still in season and that's one of my favorite things about summer: all the fresh fruit and a ton of berries at a really affordable price.

I always miss this when fall comes because suddenly you get a lot of them. of apples, which is great, but you start to see berry prices go up, but during the summer we love to have fresh berries, another thing to think about when preparing food or produce is to not just prepare things that you're going to have a snack, but you will also prepare a little bit more and that way you will have great food starters, so for example, we will definitely have these peppers as a snack, but we are also going to cook with the peppers, so I wanted to cut a few extras of immediately and that way when I know I'm going to make fajitas later this week, I don't have to cut the peppers, I can just grab them and throw them in the pan and it's one less thing 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 in the week when it's busy on a school night or something compared to when I already have everything ready and I don't really have to do it.

I spend a lot of extra time doing it. Another thing I love is getting these broccoli florets that are already pre-chopped. Sometimes I feel like they're as good 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 that it's much easier to go ahead and take them out of our container than to take them out of a bag and then have to put the bag back together, It also keeps them a little fresher this way and even though they come pre-washed in the bag, I like to wash them one more time and for those reasons I find it beneficial to keep putting them on. in a food prep container I'd rather be blue, the heart will braid, I'll just be smarter, anything to get something from you, I know the night has just begun, get up, don't bother, go out and find some things that do, that's all.

This actually took me less than an hour to do all of this and I prepped so much food for the week that this will save me busy week nights when school starts this week. It has also already saved me a lot just on snacks. I feel like there's only half of this left, it really encourages the whole family to eat healthier because instead of grabbing something unhealthy, we can go to the refrigerator and grab a few pieces of carrots or broccoli or whatever the case may be, or some strawberries and sit down and have a healthy snack that you won't have to feel guilty about later, but you also didn't have to do any extra work when you wanted to, so I know this video was a little different than my traditional clean up with me videos which I always share, but I hope you really enjoyed them.

Let me know if you would like to see this style video again. Let me know if this motivated you to go to the kitchen and prepare food for the rest. of the week I feel like the biggest difference is when you can put in a few extra minutes at the beginning and then you can enjoy eating healthier for the rest of the week without having to take up a lot of time. Later I hope you have an amazing day. Don't forget to subscribe below if you aren't already and also head over to Instagram and follow me there.

I like to share a lot behind the scenes there and just a few. personal life so definitely follow me there and I'll see you next time bye guys hello guys welcome back to my channel today. I'm going to share some fall decorating and cleaning with me. I'm so excited to share this with you guys, I've been struggling this year to get the fall vibe going and I'm finally there and I'm so excited to start welcoming the fall weather that hasn't arrived yet, but it's totally fall at home, so the first thing I wanted to do was start by cleaning my kitchen.

I'm going to clean the entire main living room of the house and then take down all of our summer decorations and then we'll go ahead and start going inside. decorating for fall living in the past sorry tonight riding in vertigo, so normally one of the kids' chores is unloading the dishwasher every morning, but in the last few weeks we've started school and we're just getting started. Getting back into routines and water routines really make life a lot easier, we're in that adjustment phase right now, so the kids didn't have enough time to unload the dishwasher this morning before school, so that's why I'm doing that back here there's no turning back there's no turning back to you I'm sorry tonight riding on the dizzying back there's no turning back there's no turning back to you I'm sorry tonight riding on the dizzying back I need to know happy too thanks to the dust, don't love, just spoil and tell the truth, all I hear is a university in the words of the seeds, when you say my name, make me lose the longing when you say my name, because I can't when you come.

Once all the dishes were ready, I just needed to put some new fresh flowers in our vase. Kyle actually picked them out and I was super excited because he didn't pick any crazy colors or anything, he just kind of picked them because he knew I was going to decorate for fall and he thought these would go with everything, which I thought was super sweet. You know that normally I always prefer carnations, but this time I decided to change things up and get a different kind. I'm not even sure exactly what kind of flowers these are, but I think they're gorgeous and white goes with everything, so I'm loving them right now.

In fact, I haven't remade it since I made our lunch video. If you haven't seen the kids' back to school lunch video, I'll link it above for you, but I just wanted to take a few minutes real quick and write the The rest of our meals this week have been kind of an adjustment phase for me, trying to figure out what exactly I can eat because as many of you know, I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's and have to eat dairy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free. I also don't eat soy or corn products, so there are tons of things I can still eat, but our eating plan definitely changed a little next.

I just wanted to take a minute and show you how I seal our granite countertops. I mentioned this in a previous video. I don't remember exactly what it was, but I mentioned that I usually seal our granite countertops every 6 to 12 months and many of you were curious because you'd never heard of it. Didn't you know you could do it yourself? I will link below the article I use. I got it at Walmart, but it's pretty inexpensive and we make it every 6-12 months ourselves and it makes a big difference. and I feel like it really helps protect your countertops, makes them last a lot longer and look a lot better, so as you can see the first thing I'm doing is cleaning everything off our countertops and then I'm also just going to clean everything with the multi-surface cleaner .

Of course, I'm using my all-time favorite, Mrs. Apple Cider. Meyer scent, this is finally in stock right now and Grove has it too. I have a link in the travel box if you're interested in getting something from fall as this year that link will give you tons of free goodies so be sure to check that out and then once I've cleaned all of our counters I'll explain exactly How do I seal our countertops. look, it's my car, there's no one, where's your head, let me go to my side, let me go outside, so just Using this granite countertop sealer, like I mentioned, I'll link it in the description box for you guys and all you have to do is just spray your countertops liberally, make sure you get a really good coat on there and then let it sit for about five minutes and if you notice it's seeping right away, spray another coat and then after five minutes, go back over with a dry cloth and just rub off the excess and that's all there is to do.

I usually do this every six to twelve months or once I notice our countertops aren't pulsating, like when water gets on them, they don't bead up and that's my first sign that I'm like, oh yeah, I need to go ahead and seal them. you came again you are special yes you are special everything about you is so beautiful you don't exist you are not you there is no tomorrow I feel like during this summer when we don't have as many routines we end up eating more on the go or eating at the counter much more often and, sometimes even in the living room, and I think since we haven't been eating at the table as regularly as we usually do during the school year, it's definitely become an all-encompassing thing, so I really hope that With the start of the school year and the return to adolescence, that becomes a more common thing where we just eat at the table because I really think that time is really nice. as a family and it definitely helps knowing that we are going to eat there.

I don't let that place become a place for all of us in the living room. It really wasn't too messy. I found out during The Day that the house definitely won't get as dirty when we don't have all three kids here, we have Liam in kindergarten part time, that's how they do it here in Utah or at least at school in the which we are and then Luke is in school full time and then Noah is at home with me, so as you can see, I finally bought an ottoman and asked you guys on Instagram what you thought about it.

I feel like when I bought it I was going to move on. and just paint the lakes white, a lot of you said to leave it the color it is and a lot of you said to paint it white so I'd love to hear your comments on what you think while I was dusting off everything I just started to take. I wrote down items I knew I wouldn't wear for fall. There were some decor pieces that could be used any time of year, so I wasn't exactly sure if I was going to use some of them, so I kept a few things and then I'll see you later.

I probably deleted almost everything, but I figured while I was there I'd just delete anything that was a sure summary I wasn't going to leave. I liked it, so I picked up the kids from school and did my crazy/postpartum hair. All my colleagues and I picked some fruit because, as you saw our fruit ball, it was completely erased and looked pretty there, but we have our rug. and an ottoman, although I have to do some things with them, I think I also make this look different. I rearranged it here, so I moved the couch, the couch was right here and it made this walkway kind of like a little Seifer, this couch in the corner. and thenI took the shelf that was here and put it on its side.

Here is what it looks like when you walk in. I'm going to have to change this wall because this was based on having the couch here or as a living room, but I love it when it's not full of stuff, it's so cozy to sit here. I have our little printer back there, my desk and everything is the same. Know? There is still a mess here right now. What are you doing? The boys think so. No, I'm not sure yet, let me know what you think. They definitely need to change this wall either way, but how do we do it with the truth, so I faced the breaking point and I don't care if I sink.

The way I see it, it doesn't make sense because in the end it's all about Tony knows that once everything was totally clean I only needed to clean the floors, so I'm going to vacuum the entire floor and as you can see, We got a new carpet. I ended up choosing the ruggable rug. Many of you had recommended it to me and I must say that I really like it so far. They are definitely very different. There's actually like a Velcro pad on the mat. bottom that holds the mat down, but otherwise the mat is so thin it has to be so you can wash it in the washing machine, but it's really different and I'm not totally used to it yet, but we really like it.

So far he can't stay long in this city. His hope really seems because I don't know, there is no time, I feel it coming, it's outside, I never felt like this in my life. I put in a minute, woke up my spirit, you made me think that finally, once everything was clean, it was time to take out all our Go to the center and make it look like it falls here, so see the tips that I wanted to share and that I have probably shared in the past with you. When you decorate your kitchen, you really don't have to do much.

If you have a windowsill in your kitchen you can place some small festive items on there, always adding a tea towel is super easy, very economical and really makes a nice little statement in your kitchen and another one I always do every season is I change the wreaths that I have on the door of our pantry. I know a lot of people don't put wreaths on their pantry doors, but I've been doing this for the last few years and I really love the final spectacle of the baby lids, so you better excuse me Queens, little water, think it'll take your shoes, you don't have to hide it baby, in the living room and on our mantel, this is always my favorite place to decorate in our house.

I bought this great sign from Hobby Lobby. I'm not really sure what to call them but these little hanging flowers are so cute I found them on Amazon, I think they were $20 for a pack of two and there's something that I think you can keep all year round. just change the flowers if you want or you can leave them as is but they go with the different seasons and I love how affordable they were and I really loved how pretty they are and unique and I know I never measure everything except because I wanted these to be perfect and I think that I'm going to end up leaving them on for most of the year, at least I really wanted to make sure I measured them correctly, so I was measuring here even though You pretty much never measure anything, honey, you know, laughs, so let's not waste a single minute more.

Beautiful sound, you have to tell me what you have in mind. Wait a bit while you have to dig deeper. I can make you smile when I let you into my bed. Where will it end up if I let it bake you? It's true, go to the tree. You know life is too short, so let's not wait too long. Oh, when I was decorating, I really felt like I was becoming a lot more minimalist than I ended up being, but still really. I liked it last year. I ended up adding a lot of small leaves, a lot of photos, and a lot of extras that honestly made it a little difficult to dust and keep clean, so this year I only left a few large items. and some small groups, but I didn't do many extras and I really love how it turned out.

Another one is fine, but I don't know if I can do another round. I have some new pillowcases that should. I'll be here at the end of this week. These are just some of the pillows that came with a sofa. I have it and also some that I had already prepared for the summer. I'm not so sure they go as well with a new sofa or with it. new rug, so I'm definitely going to change them out, but for now this is what we had, so this is what we'll do, but I really love ordering pillowcases on Amazon that way, you don't have to keep a lot of them. of extra pillows and they are also washable moving into my office, if you saw my fall store with me when I walked into Big Lots, they had a lot of these really pretty fall flowers and I feel like it might get too girly. for the whole house and honestly I'm not sure if it's 100% hang but I love it so much and I wanted to incorporate some of these into my office because that's my space, not all of them come and just hang.

I'm in the office all day, but I'm here a lot, so I thought this would be the perfect place to incorporate some of these new elements. You won't grow and I'm getting tired, that's how it all turned out. I hope you enjoyed watching. I hope this has given you a lot of cleaning motivation to make your home look amazing and feel nice and calm and I also hope it has given you some inspiration and ideas to start decorating for the fall season. Still, we still have 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 ready for fall, it's not summer anymore so it's time to start fill the comfort of Fall is definitely my favorite season and I love decorating, so any time I can bring those feelings into our home, I feel like it makes me so happy.

I hope you have an amazing day and I'll see you next time. bye
