while I am cleaning today I am going to
1:04
be sharing some hom making motivation
1:06
for you guys because I know how
1:08
difficult it can be to keep a clean home
1:10
and how it can sometimes feel
1:12
overwhelming especially when life gets
1:14
busy or like me you may have little ones
1:16
or a newborn so I just want to share
1:19
some simple cleaning hacks that I think
1:21
can help you maintain a stressfree home
1:24
even if you are a stay-at-home mom or a
1:26
work from home mom even if cleaning is a
1:29
strength for you you or a struggle no
1:31
matter what I feel like these tips will
1:33
be helpful and help make homem making
1:35
more manageable and even a little bit
1:38
enjoyable for you throughout all of this
1:40
I just want you to remember that a clean
1:41
home isn't just about its appearances
1:44
but it is about creating a space where
1:46
your family can Thrive and a space
1:48
that's filled with peace so let's make
1:51
sure that we're always keeping that at
1:52
the Forefront of our mind and most
1:55
importantly remember that having a clean
1:58
and peaceful home is awes so about
2:00
taking care of the home that God has
2:02
given us with gratitude and care so
2:04
first I want to talk about why it's
2:06
important to have a clean home
2:09
Corinthians 14:33 says for God is not a
2:13
god of disorder but of Peace a clean and
2:15
organized home isn't about perfection
2:17
it's about cultivating an environment
2:20
that reflects God's peace when your home
2:22
is in order it can reduce stress and
2:24
help your family focus a bit more it can
2:26
help your spouse get his job done and it
2:28
can also make life a little bit more
2:31
manageable for not just you but for your
2:34
children as well so it just will make
2:36
daily life all together run a lot more
2:38
smoothly but here is the key it's not
2:40
about striving or overwhelming yourself
2:43
it's about creating a routine and habit
2:45
that works for you and your own unique
2:49
household so now let's get into some
2:51
quick daily tips that will help you have
2:53
a tidy Home and these are just little
2:55
things that you can do every single day
2:58
one of the best ways to keep your home
2:59
stressfree is to incorporate small
3:01
cleaning habits into your daily routine
3:04
these are the habits that really don't
3:05
take a lot of time but do make a huge
3:08
difference number one is the twom minute
3:11
rule the two-minute rule means that if a
3:13
task takes less than 2 minutes to
3:15
complete then you would do it
3:17
immediately for example putting the
3:19
dishes in the dishwasher instead of in
3:21
the sink like you can see I the night
3:24
before after dinner or wiping down the
3:27
bathroom counter after you get ready
3:29
hanging up jacket instead of leaving it
3:31
on a chair things like this are all
3:32
things that prevent clutter from piling
3:34
up it only takes less than 2 minutes to
3:37
put a dish that you just finished eating
3:39
off of into the dishwasher opposed to in
3:42
the sink number two is to make your bed
3:44
every morning this simple task is one
3:46
that pretty much just sets the tone for
3:48
the rest of your day a made bed makes
3:50
the entire room feel a lot neater and
3:53
cleaner and it also gives you an easy
3:55
win right at the start of your morning
3:57
so that you feel motivated to get more
3:59
done number three is to clean as you go
4:02
when cooking try washing dishes are
4:04
wiping down the counters while food is
4:06
like simmering or while it's in the oven
4:08
or when your kids finish playing with
4:10
your toys you can try to encourage them
4:12
or maybe help them tidy up the toy
4:15
they've been playing with before moving
4:16
on to the next activity cleaning as you
4:19
go will just save you time as well as
4:21
prevent messes from just building up
4:23
another thing that I like to do is end
4:25
the day with a 5 to 10 minute tidy no
4:28
matter how exhausted I am I'm not going
4:30
to devote a full hour to cleaning up if
4:32
I'm tired but even 5 to 10 minutes can
4:34
go a long way so before bit try to take
4:36
5 to 10 minutes to straighten up
4:38
whichever area is either bothering you
4:41
the most or whichever area will make
4:44
your morning a little bit better for me
4:46
typically it's my kitchen because as you
4:48
can see it takes up a ton of my time in
4:51
the morning and I'm never fully
4:52
motivated to wake up and the first thing
4:54
that I do is clean so for me if I put
4:56
away like items that's in the kitchen on
4:59
the table and on the counter and wipe
5:01
down surfaces before him even put the
5:03
dishes in the dishwasher before going to
5:06
bed then it'll just help me to wake up
5:09
to a home that feels a lot more fresh
5:11
and welcoming putting me in a better
5:12
mood and making me more motivated to get
5:15
my day started so now that we've gotten
5:18
through some of the little things that
5:19
we can do just every single day to make
5:21
our home stressfree and to help with
5:24
cleanliness now we're going to get into
5:27
the cluttering I love this one here I
5:30
probably talk about decluttering in all
5:31
of my videos because it is truly
5:34
lifechanging clutter is one of the
5:36
biggest sources of stress in a home but
5:38
decluttering doesn't have to be a super
5:40
overwhelming process like I thought that
5:42
it would be and I'm going to share some
5:43
of the things that I've found helpful
5:46
along the way one of them is the one in
5:48
one out Rule and pretty much it sounds
5:51
exactly like what it is for every new
5:54
item that you purchase or every new item
5:56
that comes into your home that means you
5:57
have to let go of one thing that you no
5:59
longer longer use or need this helps you
6:01
to tackle and stay in control of the
6:03
Clutter and all the stuff that you have
6:05
in your home so that it doesn't
6:06
accumulate over time just start small
6:09
you can start by just tackling like
6:10
small areas of your home at a time like
6:13
a drawer or a shelf or a corner because
6:16
those small winds help you to build up
6:18
the momentum to then move on to maybe
6:20
decluttering one room at a time or you
6:23
never know maybe you'll be decluttering
6:25
like a whole house I typically like to
6:26
do one room at a time and then if I'm
6:28
feeling really courageous I'll do like a
6:30
floor at a time like the main floor then
6:33
the upstairs then the basement then the
6:36
garage it's just the whole thing like
6:38
once you get that momentum going you
6:40
kind of just don't want to stop
6:41
especially when you see how much of a
6:43
difference it makes another one is the
6:45
12 12 and 12 rule I love these little
6:48
names and it helps me to remember it a
6:51
little bit more but basically you grab a
6:53
box and you challenge yourself it
6:54
doesn't have to be 12 you can start off
6:56
with like five or 10 but basically you
6:58
find 12 items to donate 12 items to
7:00
throw away and 12 items to put back into
7:03
its place again you can start with five
7:06
if you want to start small but the goal
7:08
is to challenge yourself here this is a
7:10
quick but also fun way to declutter to
7:12
challenge yourself without feeling too
7:15
overwhelmed and then of course the main
7:17
rule of decluttering is to ask yourself
7:20
do I use it does it serve a purpose for
7:22
me do I love it does it bring me joy and
7:24
if the answer is no then it's okay to
7:26
let it go and you will probably be happy
7:28
that you did next let's talk about
7:31
organizing because organization also
7:34
makes a huge difference it makes
7:36
everything easy if everything has a
7:38
place you don't have to like think so
7:40
much about the tidying and the
7:41
decluttering so some easy tips for
7:43
organizing is to one label everything
7:46
whether it's a pantry item or Toy Bins
7:49
or storage boxes labels are going to
7:51
make it easy to find what you need and
7:53
put things back where they belong and it
7:54
doesn't have to be super pretty it
7:56
doesn't have to be super expensive
7:58
because sometimes The Simple Solutions
8:01
make the biggest difference I also like
8:03
to use clear storage containers because
8:06
they help me to kind of just see you
8:07
what I have helps me to not over buy
8:10
because I tend to forget like certain
8:12
things that I already have especially
8:13
when it comes to seasonal Decor but when
8:15
I can look inside a clear bean and see
8:17
what I already have it not only prevents
8:19
me from over buying but also keeps
8:21
things looking nice and neat and I love
8:23
this one especially if you have kids
8:25
that like to like carry toys around the
8:27
house is to create a drop zone basically
8:30
Drop Zones are designated spots in your
8:33
home for like frequently used items if
8:36
you know that you like to keep things on
8:38
your desk a lot then keep a little
8:39
basket on your desk that you can put all
8:41
that stuff inside of and then later on
8:43
you can use that basket to declutter
8:45
another one is to keep a tiny Basket in
8:47
the living room or family room so that
8:48
your floor doesn't look like mine's does
8:50
currently with toys everywhere that way
8:53
you can take all of the little toys that
8:55
accumulate on the floor that day throw
8:57
them in a basket and have your kid take
8:58
it to their room I think the end of the
8:59
day or at the end of the week and put
9:01
them away another one is like a shoe
9:04
tray by the door or a little tray on the
9:07
counter for keys and wallets a little
9:09
tray in the bathroom for when you take
9:11
off your jewelry at night all of these
9:13
little things are just Drop Zones
9:14
instead of having them like thrown
9:16
across the floor or across the counter
9:18
basically so now I'm going to share some
9:20
cleaning hacks that save you time and
9:23
stress and money number one is
9:25
microfiber cloths you guys if you have
9:28
seen like my cleaning video you've
9:29
probably seen me using like microfiber
9:32
cloths for everything my husband buys
9:34
like a box of like 50 of them they are
9:36
super super inexpensive but microfiber
9:39
cloths clean very well and they're also
9:41
perfect for dry dusting like Windows and
9:44
surfaces and things like that and
9:46
sometimes all you need is warm water to
9:48
get the job done which will help you
9:50
reduce the need for Harsh chemicals next
9:53
is setting a timer if you only have 15
9:56
minutes to clean just set a timer
9:58
challenge yourself to see how much you
10:00
can clean within that 15 minutes because
10:02
you will be surprised just how much you
10:04
can accomplish another one that will
10:05
save you time and money and stress is
10:08
just using a multi-purpose cleaner there
10:10
are cleaners for like everything
10:13
different cleaners for different
10:14
servfaces for different rooms for
10:15
different purposes but if you just use a
10:17
multi-purpose cleaner you will save
10:20
yourself so much stress because just too
10:23
many options too many choices out there
10:25
but you will also save money by just
10:26
using the same cleaner for every rooming
10:29
your home if it's not necessary like I'm
10:31
telling you half the time we don't need
10:33
all of those chemicals anyway you can
10:35
even make like a homemade cleaner
10:37
yourself with like hot water a little
10:39
bit of alcohol some vinegar and your
10:41
favorite essential oil will go a long
10:43
way speaking of vinegar another cleaning
10:46
hack is baking soda and vinegar because
10:48
that's another natural ingredients that
10:51
you'll be surprised it is very effective
10:53
for like tough cleaning job scrubbing
10:56
the sink deodorizing carpets unclogging
10:58
the drink
11:00
try baking soda and vinegar for not just
11:02
a natural cleaning alternative but an
11:05
alternative to save you money because
11:06
they're both super super inexpensive
11:09
even as Homemakers cleaning being like
11:11
you know one of our responsibilities it
11:13
can still be a team effort and I think
11:16
that involving the family with cleaning
11:18
not only lightens your Lo but it also
11:20
teaches your children valuable life
11:22
skills that are going to help you now
11:25
and them later assign age appropriate
11:28
CHS to are children like wiping off the
11:30
surfaces hanging up their jacket putting
11:33
away their clothes these are things that
11:35
they can do older kids can even help
11:37
with laundry dishes and vacuuming you
11:39
can also try to make it Fun by turning
11:41
it into a game when my little one was
11:43
like 1 and 2 years old we would just
11:45
play the cleanup song from like an old
11:48
Episode of Barney that I used to love
11:50
and while we were singing that song we
11:52
would clean up and TI it together and
11:54
just make it kind of fun and he still
11:56
sometimes sings that song and he's 5
11:58
years old now but most importantly the
12:00
best way to get your family involved in
12:02
cleaning is to just simply lead by
12:05
example showing your children that
12:06
cleaning is not just a task but a way to
12:08
serve and care for your family is super
12:13
[Music]
12:16
important but those are just some of my
12:19
favorite cleaning hacks and some ways
12:21
that I have found to make cleaning a bit
12:22
easier for me as you go about cleaning
12:24
and caring for your home I mostly just
12:26
want you to remember that it's not about
12:28
perfection and I know that I've said it
12:30
before because it's just something that
12:32
I feel like was a theme and a topic for
12:34
the past few years it doesn't have to be
12:36
perfect it's mostly just about
12:39
faithfulness and finding a love and joy
12:42
in serving your family and taking care
12:44
of your home you are creating a space
12:47
where your family can feel loved and
12:48
cherished and at peace and true
12:54
Comfort if ever you're feeling tired and
12:56
overwhelmed just keep going and I pray
12:58
that God's grace may fill your home with
13:01
peace and that you may be found this
13:04
video to also be helpful and
13:06
motivational for you in that way as
13:08
