welcome to my little disaster of a home
0:04
my name is heaven and I am a stay-at
0:06
home mom wife and Homemaker I currently
0:08
have a 4-year-old toddler and I am also
0:11
11 weeks pregnant so because of that I
0:14
have kind of been letting my home become
0:16
a big fat mess because I have just been
0:20
sitting around tired dealing with all of
0:22
the early pregnancy first trimester
0:25
exhaustion nausea lack of motivation all
0:28
of the things but because because I am
0:31
soon to be approaching that second
0:32
trimester of pregnancy I am starting to
0:35
gain little by little a little bit of my
0:37
energy back and also starting to become
0:40
a little less nauseous and sick so I am
0:43
so ready to dive into catching back up
0:45
on all of the chores and all of the
0:47
laundry and cleaning and decluttering so
0:50
that is what I'm doing today starting by
0:53
tackling the laundry so here I'm just
0:55
separating all of the laundry I don't
0:57
think I've done laundry for at least two
0:59
weeks you guys so yes pretty bad so it's
1:02
a lot of it as you can see and I'm just
1:04
separating my colors from my darks and
1:07
then I'm going to put it back inside of
1:08
the hamper I'm going to put my darks on
1:10
the bottom and then put the colors on
1:12
the top so that when I take them
1:13
downstairs I can go ahead and toss the
1:16
colors in the wash and then I will let
1:18
those wash and then once I put those in
1:20
the dryer I will put the darks inside of
1:22
the wash and then you know how that goes
1:25
bring it all back upstairs get ready to
1:27
fold it all that good stuff so I'm going
1:29
to go ahead and get get started on this
1:31
now since it is two Lo so that hopefully
1:33
by the time I am done cleaning I will
1:37
have finished the laundry too it is 5:38
1:40
in the evening right now and I want to
1:41
see how long it takes me to clean my
1:44
upstairs bedroom and bathroom so I'm
1:46
using this white plastic bin to put
1:49
anything that needs to go downstairs in
1:51
the kitchen so that I can carry it all
1:52
at once as you can see it's a lot of
1:54
stuff that has piled up mostly water
1:56
bottles and cups as well as a few snacks
1:59
and C candy that I was snacking on and
2:01
now I am already taking my first break
2:03
and I haven't done anything you guys
2:05
it's ridiculous how out of breath I was
2:07
just from carrying that downstairs as
2:09
well as the laundry so back to it I am
2:12
cleaning off these shelves I have like a
2:14
few clothes that we had not put away yet
2:17
after we unpacked from Tennessee and
2:19
then I also have some gift bags from
2:21
over the holidays so I'm just tossing
2:23
out the tissue paper and then taking
2:27
these gift bags and putting them away so
2:29
that we can recycle them and reuse them
2:31
if we need to next I'm putting my little
2:34
warmies I don't know if you guys have
2:35
ever heard of warmies but if you have
2:37
not they are the cutest and the softest
2:39
wonderful smelling stuffed animals ever
2:41
you can put them in the microwave and
2:43
warm them up or in the freezer to freeze
2:45
them and use them for pain relief they
2:47
are infused with lavender but I have
2:50
really been disliking lavender it's been
2:53
one of those smells that I have a
2:54
stronger version to that I can't stand
2:56
so I've been trying to keep them just up
2:57
on a shelf for now so that I don't have
2:59
have to smell them so all of this
3:01
clutter here is a lot of little
3:04
activities and things for my son to play
3:07
with on the days that I wasn't feeling
3:09
well and I wanted to stay inside the bed
3:12
I also didn't want my son to have to
3:15
spend too much time like in front of a
3:17
screen or in television or anything like
3:19
that so I put his a little wooden table
3:23
in here it's like a desk or it could be
3:27
a train table or a block table for all
3:30
of his Duplo blocks and things like that
3:33
I have a lot of activities that I just
3:35
kept on here just to really keep him
3:38
busy so it really did turn into a lot of
3:41
clutter so I am just cleaning everything
3:44
up he has some little Legos the small
3:46
ones that are for ages four and up that
3:48
my husband purchased him for Christmas I
3:50
am not a fan of the little Legos I just
3:53
they get everywhere and you can step on
3:56
them but since he's gotten better with
3:58
knowing that he is not supposed to put
4:00
them in his mouth like to take the
4:01
pieces apart if they get stuck I'm just
4:03
going to go ahead and let him play with
4:05
a few of them but not a lot and he also
4:08
has like these little puzzle pieces here
4:10
the booklets for his Lego sets that his
4:13
father bought him and here I asked him
4:16
to bring me the container that I'm
4:19
keeping his Legos in so this small
4:21
little container is about as many Legos
4:24
as I am letting him keep out at this
4:27
point he has a ton of Legos I mean like
4:30
boxes and backs of them in the garage
4:33
that my husband had bought him but I put
4:35
them away about a year ago after I got
4:37
tired of stepping on them and what I
4:39
noticed he was using his mouth to tear
4:40
them apart so we're going to see how he
4:42
does with a small amount and if he does
4:45
okay with that I'll let him keep them
4:46
out he also has some writing booklets
4:49
and activities and reading books that he
4:51
had been practicing on as well over here
4:54
so just some little learning booklets to
4:57
do outside of homeschool hours and and
5:00
some little play activities to do
5:01
outside of screen time so now I am
5:04
tackling my dresser and I'm just using
5:07
this little basket to put all of my
5:08
Essential Oils inside of as well as
5:11
hygiene items like deodorant body butter
5:14
lotion and things like that candles all
5:16
that stuff and then I'm also organizing
5:19
this jewelry box that I have so this is
5:21
the jewelry that I normally take when we
5:23
travel I either use this travel jewelry
5:25
box or this small little cardboard like
5:28
jewelry holder when we travel so just
5:31
decluttering all of that as well as my
5:35
husband's dresser that I ended up
5:37
bringing a television into our room to
5:40
watch because I was spending a lot of
5:42
time in the bed I'm telling you guys it
5:44
was so depressing but I needed that time
5:48
to rest so I am finally you know getting
5:51
all of those surfaces cleaned up and
5:53
it's looking a little bit better but
5:55
then there is still this mess over here
5:58
by the bed not looking good we are going
6:01
to get it together but first I'm going
6:02
to take a break and show you guys this
6:04
new electric cleaning brush that I
6:06
purchased from Amazon when my husband
6:08
purchased it for me after hearing me
6:10
fuss about like the struggle of cleaning
6:13
the shower and the tub so he got me this
6:15
it comes with an electric brush with all
6:18
of the scrub brushes and sponges and
6:22
attachments and I wanted to go and spray
6:25
down the shower tile and the tub with
6:29
the cleaning products so that they could
6:31
sit I'm using oxy clean for the towel
6:34
and iron out for the tub because we have
6:36
hard water that stain sometime so I
6:39
wanted to open up a bathroom window and
6:41
let that product you know sit and do its
6:43
job before I begin cleaning it so I
6:45
opened up the bathroom window sprayed
6:47
that and closed the door now I am
6:50
tackling the sleeping area of the
6:54
bedroom so just making up our bed that's
6:56
not really pretty I have opted it out of
6:59
the pretty bed sets for now for what I
7:02
find more comfortable which is normally
7:05
like the down alternative blankets
7:08
that's pretty thin with a quilt on top
7:10
and jersey knit pillowcases and sheets I
7:13
also have a ton of pillows in the bed
7:16
right now and an extra throw blanket
7:19
because I've been pretty cold I also
7:21
have like a little space heater back
7:23
there you guys can probably see over in
7:25
the right hand bottom corner so lots of
7:28
covers and um layers and pillows and all
7:33
the things that bring me Comfort
7:35
basically here I have my jumbo um
7:37
pregnancy pillow my belly and back
7:40
support pillows and then my husband has
7:42
his he prefers the thinner pillows and
7:44
then I also have this little massage
7:46
chair in the corner for when I want to
7:47
sit up if I'm having any type of
7:49
heartburn and I don't want to lay down
7:51
and things like that but hair starting
7:54
to look better and now I just need to do
7:56
all of the dusting and vacuuming so
7:58
using a little bit of Grove cleaning
8:01
glass cleaner as well as the Grove
8:04
multi-purpose cleaner and I'm cleaning
8:07
the mirror the
8:09
television the air purifier there's a
8:13
time lapse for you guys it's 6:40 p.m.
8:16
so I've been cleaning for 50 minutes so
8:19
far I took probably a little 5 minute
8:22
break and then I also took maybe another
8:26
five minute break to go and spray it out
8:28
the bathroom yeah it's been an hour so
8:30
far just decluttering basically so now
8:33
I'm just wiping down all the surfaces
8:35
dusting everything getting rid of like
8:38
all of the buildup of whatever dust or
8:42
stickiness that has accumulated over the
8:45
past month or so because that's how long
8:47
it's been you guys about a month since
8:50
I've just wiped down these surfaces so
8:52
just mostly like dust or whatever so
8:55
making sure that I get all of that taken
8:57
care of and catching up What A month's
9:00
worth of dust and at this point you guys
9:02
I'm starting to get a little bit
9:04
congested so if my voice changes that is
9:07
just another fun symptom of early
9:10
pregnancy or actually the entire
9:11
pregnancy if I remember correctly I
9:14
already have some pretty bad allergies
9:16
and so that and the pregnancy the
9:18
congestion really does stick around for
9:21
me nevertheless I am almost done
9:25
cleaning off the surfaces here and then
9:29
I am going to go ahead and do the
9:32
vacuuming as well getting the dust up
9:35
out of the carpets eventually we are
9:37
going to switch to hardwood floors but
9:39
we've only had this carpet for I want to
9:41
say 2 years um we put this carpet down
9:45
when we moved into the home and that was
9:48
July of 2022 so this carpet is a year
9:53
and a half old and we do not wear any
9:56
outside shoes inside only slippers or no
10:02
shoes at all and we are pretty good with
10:04
making sure that we keep it vacuumed and
10:07
keep the carbage shampooed and things
10:09
like that but because I'm allergic to
10:12
dust might which is pretty easy to build
10:16
up in curtains and bedding carpets rugs
10:20
or anything like that um it's just best
10:23
and easier for the whole family and the
10:26
cleanliness of the home to stick with
10:27
hardwood but carpet in the bedrooms is a
10:30
lot more comfortable but here I'm just
10:33
vacuuming the edges of the wall like
10:35
near the baseboards and then that would
10:38
sum up the rest of the vacuuming for
10:40
this room so back to the bathroom now
10:43
I'm using the electric brush to just
10:47
grub all of like the tile ground lines
10:51
just trying to you know use the brush
10:54
that has like the skinny tip on it so
10:57
it's like a brush but the end of it is
11:01
kind of pointed so it's good for getting
11:03
in between like the tow grout lines and
11:08
then I switched over to the actual
11:11
cleaning sponge so I'm just adding a
11:13
little water with the shower head and
11:15
then just going side to side and
11:18
cleaning the tile and the shower wasall
11:21
down really good having this does save a
11:26
lot of elbow work a lot of muscle power
11:31
where you don't have to bend over break
11:33
your back cuz it's it's difficult like
11:36
you kind of have to step inside of the
11:38
tub to be able to reach like the top of
11:40
the shower walls and to clean it and
11:43
scrub it really good and then when it
11:45
comes to cleaning the tub you either
11:49
have to bend over or get down on your
11:50
knees and we have hard floor so that's
11:53
never fun and I'm just not as young as I
11:56
used to be so I would rather not have to
11:58
do that if at don't have to so this this
12:00
works for me and I prefer this a lot
12:04
better so you can change out all the
12:06
attachments you can also wash the
12:08
attachments if you need to and when
12:10
you're done you just hang it up on the
12:12
wall and then after that I still went
12:14
back afterwards like once the water
12:16
dried up and sprayed like a dry towel
12:20
and then wiped everything down and that
12:22
just help you not have like those water
12:25
stains on the walls where you can kind
12:27
of just see like try to water that drip
12:30
down the shower wall so after that you
12:33
guys I just finishing up the rest of the
12:35
bathroom cleaning the tallet from the
12:37
not so fun stuff I also cleaned off like
12:40
the sink the surfaces cleaned the mirror
12:44
I swept I mobed you guys I hav't washed
12:47
down the bathroom walls because the
12:49
bathroom is obviously a germy area so
12:51
washing Down the Walls in here is what I
12:55
try to keep up with more so than washing
12:57
the Wass anywhere in the the house I do
12:59
it mostly in here and then occasionally
13:02
in the rest of the home and then as far
13:04
as mopping goes I use a Swiffer Wet jet
13:08
because we do not have real hardwood
13:11
floor in here and so when you don't have
13:13
the real hardwood floor you don't want
13:15
to ruin it with like drowning it in
13:18
water or I use only like a Dap not fully
13:22
saturated mop that's real rung out with
13:26
you know steaming hot water so that's
13:28
how that goes you guys but I was able to
13:31
get all of this done in about I think 2
13:36
hours it was
13:39
7:30 when I was finished so if you two
13:42
were able to get some cleaning done as
13:45
well I would love to know what you
13:47
accomplished today and how long it took
13:49
you if you've never done it before go
13:52
ahead and set a timer and see how long
13:53
it really does take you you know to
13:55
clean but I do hope you guys enjoyed
13:58

14:00
