Hey.

Hey. Hey.
0:51
Welcome to Motherhood and Homemaking. For today's homemaking motivation, we are going to be going through my entire
0:57
home getting it clean and prepared for the upcoming month. This is just something that I absolutely love to do
1:02
at the end of every single month because it just sets the tone for the upcoming month. It gives us a fresh, clean slate
1:09
and helps me to stay on top of the clutter. So, if you've got some cleaning to do, let's go ahead and be cleaning
1:15
buddies. We can do this together because I've got 1 hour of cleaning motivation for you. So, let's go ahead and get
1:20
cleaning. All right, here is the before look of what the main area of our home
1:26
looks like. And this is also where we are going to begin. Imagine sunshine and pink clouds in the
1:36
sky and everything is right. Imagine stars lighting up the night.
1:49
Usually I will always begin cleaning my kitchen first, but this time I decided to start in the family room because it
1:54
wasn't that bad. Just a few toys that needed to be put away and a little bit of dusting and vacuuming. So getting
2:00
this done first gives me a really quick win and just right out of the door and a great start to a whole house clean.
2:12
wanted to like you. Like 24/7
2:18
like 24. Oh, like you wanted to like you wanted
2:25
to like 24/7 like 24 heaven. Oh, nothing but blue
2:33
skies, a totally peaceful mind. Never need a second try. Know you get it
2:40
right the very first time. It could be the best of days. It could be the best of times. Why do we need the
2:46
troules? Why? Why do we need the troules? Why? Nothing's ever in your way. Scoring
2:54
every shot.
3:05
For the wooded areas of my home, I am going to be using furniture polish, but otherwise I typically just use a
3:10
homemade allpurpose cleaner.
3:17
247. Oh, like you want to like you. Like
3:27
24/7. Like 24.
3:33
Now, with the table that's off to the side of our family room, you are going to notice that some of the paint is
3:39
peeling off. It's not real wood. And because we put the sticky bumpers around
3:44
the edges to baby proof it from our little one, a lot of the paint is peeling off. So definitely not looking
3:50
that great, but it's still working out for us for now.
3:58
Wish there was the good parts and I could have it
4:04
bad days. the only way to notice a good day.
4:16
And I guess it makes sense what she say,
4:25
but I'm hoping for good days.
4:30
Mama says bad days are necessary,
4:36
but I'm good.
4:41
All right, now we are going to get a little bit of vacuuming done. And I'm going to be using our wet dry vacuum. If
4:48
you have not invested in one of these, I highly recommend it. I am going to link down below this specific one that I am
4:54
using. It is so good. It vacuums and mops at the same time. is very
5:00
lightweight. It's cordless and you can even use it on area rugs which you see me doing right now.
5:09
Thinking of drowning in those blue eyes. I'm losing sight falling.
5:17
I'm so deep down deep down. And it's not a lie
5:25
that I die. I can't hide
5:33
what this is. Yeah. I keep drowning in those blue
5:39
eyes. And you can tell me all of your lies.
5:44
I will put out all of the fire if it gets too dark.
5:52
I'll be your light.
5:58
Recently, our baby girl turned a year old and we purchased this hair area rug from Home Depot when she was beginning
6:05
to crawl because she wouldn't crawl because she just didn't like the feel of the hardwood on her knees. But then she
6:11
got so comfortable with crawling on the rug that she wouldn't walk. You guys, once I picked up the rug, she began
6:17
walking because she didn't want her knees on the floor again. And so once she began walking, then I proceeded to
6:24
just go ahead and put the rug back down. All that you've got. Two heavy hearts is
6:29
not a lie. I will put out all of the fire.
6:35
We stumble and fall. And it's not a lie
6:44
that I can hide
6:51
from this. Yeah, I keep drowning in those blue
6:58
eyes. And you can tell me all of your lies.
7:03
I will put out all of the fire if it gets too dark.
7:11
I'll be your light. I'll be your light.
7:19
I'll be your light. gets.
7:25
So, of course, mid clean, I realized that I was completely out of the allpurpose cleaner that I usually use
7:31
all around the home. So, here you guys just see me making some more. And all it is is just 2 in of rubbing alcohol, some
7:38
white vinegar, a few drops or a few generous drops of orange essential oil.
7:44
I absolutely love the smell of that. It's usually either that or lemon or peppermint or lavender. And then I also
7:50
add in some distilled or filtered water. Give it a good shake. And that's pretty much just it. It's very simple and easy
7:57
to make. You can also add a castile soap if you want a bit more of a soapy texture to it. And then I'm also going
8:04
to light a lavender and vanilla candle to just set the mood while I clean. This is a beeswax candle that I actually made
8:10
and I sell them on my website andhome.com. So I'll link it down below if you guys are interested.
8:18
I'll be your light. I'll be your light.
8:26
I'll be your if it gets too dark.
8:33
I'll be your light. Now, moving along to the kitchen cleaning. I need to get these
8:39
countertops cleared off before I can do anything because I have to unload the dishwasher. So, I need to have the
8:44
counters nice and clean before I put clean dishes on them. But of course, there is a ton of things out of place. I
8:50
don't know why that just tends to happen here on the counter. Maybe because it's like our main area where we are the
8:55
most. So, just getting everything put back in its place. And then I can proceed with the kitchen cleaning per
9:02
usual. The part where you have to put everything back in its home where it
9:07
goes, like to clear off the counters and when everything is on different floors in the house and in different rooms,
9:13
that takes up so much time. And yeah, anyh who, glad I got that done.
9:27
Up up up up. Now don't you stay down down down now. Lift yourself up up.
9:35
Baby, baby, get up. Baby, get up. The brighter shining.
9:43
The darkest skies get so used to be hiding
9:49
behind your fears. But from my perspective,
9:56
you got just what it takes. You're in control here.
10:02
Don't you forget. You fall and you break. You got battles to take on, but you figure it out. Yeah.
10:10
But you fall and you break. You got changes to make now. See the light at
10:16
the end of the tunnel. It's right there now. Just look up and follow. Take one
10:22
step at a time. B I'm with you all the way. And baby get up.
10:31
Oh, don't you stay down and lift yourself up.
10:37
Baby, baby, get So, baby, get up. So, baby, get up.
10:44
Don't you stay down down down.
10:50
Yeah. Yeah. Baby, get up.
11:06
See the light at the end of the tunnel. He's right there. And I just look up and
11:12
follow. Take one step at a time. I'm with you all the way. So baby, get up.
11:22
No, don't you stay down. Go and lift yourself up.
11:28
Baby, baby, get get up.
11:35
We're in transes going all to different places, different
11:40
planets. Watch your aura pass me by losing bad hands. What if we run out of time and
11:49
second chances empty
11:56
you like to drive get done dirty like bad guy. You want some love back when
12:02
you feel like calling midnight. You got the best of me. You got me
12:09
losing sleep. I've been hopeful. Baby, I was hoping
12:16
maybe now you cross my back.
12:21
I've been sinking and it's hard to move. Think I'm stuck
12:26
on you. Transits
12:32
going all to different places, different planets. Watch your passing by. Losing balance.
12:42
What if we run out of time and second chances empty and dead? I want
12:51
you better if I go. I'm not home.
12:58
This pan is just it's done for. So, we're going to throw it away. Reload.
13:09
No guarant
13:15
mind. Hiding by myself. No guarantees you find me. Said if it's faith you'll
13:22
find me. Leaving the past behind.
13:27
Going all to different places, different planets. Watching all pass me by. Losing balance.
13:36
What if we run out of time and second chances? Empty and dead. I want to know,
13:46
would you love me better if I go? I'm not home.
13:52
I want to know. Can we just let us know?
14:04
If you guys are cleaning alongside with me, I would love to hear from you down below in the comments. Let me know what
14:09
you are cleaning. If we are cleaning buddies today and if you're not cleaning, then that's okay, too. You
14:15
know, just do it when you feel like it. But I would love to know, what is it that you love about cleaning videos? Do
14:20
you clean alongside while watching them? That's typically how I do it. Or do you like to just watch them for motivation
14:27
and then just come back to it?
14:46
Heat. Heat.
15:24
Heat. Heat.
15:47
Hey, heat. Hey.
16:09
Hey friends, if you are enjoying this video, I hope that you would give it a like and a thumbs up because it helps me
16:15
to know what type of content resonate with you guys, what type of content you guys love, and it also helps me to reach
16:21
more families so that we can motivate them to get off their couch and get cleaning with us as well. So, go ahead
16:26
and do that now. Hit that like button and let's keep cleaning.
17:38
So, here's my messy stove. I need to clean it. But also, I took out all of our vitamins last night because I am
17:46
trying to minimize the amount that we have, declutter it or move some downstairs to the workout gym if that's
17:53
what my husband's sole purpose is for them. They were up there in that top cabinet. As you can see, we just don't
17:58
have a lot of space in this here cabinet. We have like coffee things, tea things, different like flavorings and
18:04
stuff like that. Up there is where vitamins go. So, it's not a lot of space left. So, I really want to just go
18:11
through the vitamins and see if there's anything that can be like thrown out or moved to like the medicine cabinet or
18:18
maybe if not, we'll have to put some sort of vitamin shelf downstairs because
18:24
it cannot all fit inside of the kitchen cabinet. It's just visual clutter and it drives me absolutely insane. I would
18:30
love to have everything that we use just every single day up there like vitamin W, but just not things that we go to on
18:37
like a rare occasion. So, it's going to sit there on the stove for now and then once my husband comes downstairs, we'll
18:44
like go through that together and see what we want to, you know, do with that.
18:51
I will get these crumbs up though because yeah, those don't need to be
18:57
here. And then we got our slushie machine and we had some cinnabons last night after we went out for a family
19:04
dinner. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe and my husband like left mid dinner and disappeared and I don't know where he
19:11
went until he came back with this bag cinnabons. So, we'll have that for
19:16
dessert pretty much all week long. But yeah, we'll clean up around the
19:23
vitamins because I really need us to go through these and see how we can
19:29
minimize it. So, there's that. I am going to wipe this down though.
19:35
It's pretty sticky to this coffee pot.
19:55
Heat. Heat.
20:05
Heat. Heat.
20:42
I don't think we got enough time to sort out all the fights, sort out all the
20:48
lies. Oh, baby. Yeah. There was a part of me that knew that. And still uncaugh
20:54
by surprise. I thought you'd always be mine. Oh yeah. I guess our dreams fell
21:00
asleep. There's no passion in the com down. Baby going down down down down.
21:08
Tried so hard to stay afat. Yeah, we keep moving like the river. Baby going
21:13
down down. Yeah. And I thought it's time I'm
21:19
letting you go. This time I know it for sure. Just thought I should let you
21:24
know. Yeah. No. No. Us no more. No. I got so high on a low. That's when I love
21:30
you the most. Now I thought I should let you know. Yeah. No. No. Us no more. No.
21:39
I really thought we had it covered. Was going to patch up all the scars, but we
21:44
smashed up all the parts. Oh n. Always knew that you were stubborn, but
21:50
didn't know it'd be so hard to figure out who you really are.
21:55
I guess our dreams fell asleep. There's no passion in the com
22:01
down down.
22:08
By the way, if you're new here, my name is Heaven and on this channel, I'm always sharing motherhood and home making content. days in the life, home
22:15

22:21
subscribed to this channel already, what are you waiting for? I would love for you to join the family. But let's go
22:26
ahead and finish cleaning.
22:31
No us no more. We don't know. No us no more. We don't know. No us no more. We
22:37

22:51
Yeah.
23:00
I guess our dreams fell asleep. There's no passion in the com. Baby going down.
23:07
Baby going down down down down down. Tried so hard to stay afat. We keep
23:12
moving like the river go. Baby going down down down baby going down down down
23:17
down down. And I thought it's time I'm letting you
23:23
go. This time I know it for sure. Just thought I should let you know. But no,
23:29
no wor no more. No. I got so high on low. That's when I love you the most. I
23:35

23:48
We don't know. No us no more. We don't know. No us no more. We don't know. No
23:54
us no more. No more. Here I'm just getting rid of some of the dead flowers and leaves from this floral
24:00
arrangement that my husband gifted me for our 9-year wedding anniversary. We have had this for about 3 weeks now. And
24:07
while some of them still look really, really great, some of them were dying. So, I got rid of that and then just
24:12
added some more water to the vase. Driving through days and nights,
24:20
won't stop for traffic lights. And I
24:26
I really want to know, really want to know
24:32
if I ever figure out where the road goes.
24:40
Even if I'm falling down, I will keep on searching for my highs.
24:48
You can say I lost my mind. I will keep on holding my head high.
24:54
Even if the sky is falling down,
25:07
you guys, all of this is the pieces that fell off from the flower bouquet. I'm pretty sure there's probably a couple of
25:12
crumbs left over from breakfast as well, but majority is just the pieces that came off the bouquet. And most of it is
25:19
called like baby's breath is the name of the flower. It has like those little tiny white buds and it's absolutely
25:26
beautiful. But as they begin to dry out, they kind of just fall. And that is what
25:32
you see me picking up here. Just some of the flower buds that fell off as well as all of the dried up baby's breath flower
25:39
stems as well. Again, they're really, really beautiful, but they definitely make a big mess. And that's one of the
25:45
stems that you saw me throw away.
25:52
You can say I lost my mind. I will keep on holding my head.
25:58
Even if the sky is falling down, even if the sky is falling down,
26:07
sky is falling down. M
26:24
even if the sky is falling down. For the kitchen table, I'm using a
26:30
little bit of furniture polish, but I'm also using the Murphy's wood oil soap. It's really, really good at cleaning the
26:36
wood in your home, preserving it, and it also protects it against like scratches
26:42
and stains. I only had a little bit left, so it's kind of like a harder consistency in gel, but it still works
26:48
just as usual.
26:57
We can wait for better days, but the days won't come. Show me light.
27:03
Show me love. Show me light. Show me love.
27:09
Make it change. Time is up. We can wait for better days,
27:15
but the days won't come. Show me life. Show me love. This is all we got. Show
27:21
me. Show me love. This is all we got. Show me love.
27:27
Show me love. This is all we got. Show me.
27:35
Show me love. This is all we got. All we got.
27:43
Show me love. This is all we got. Show me.
27:51
Show me love. Show me life. Show me love. This is all
27:56
we got. Sometimes life will push you down.
28:03
Make you fall onto the ground. But I know you will turn it around.
28:11
Oh, this is all we got. And I know you'll make mistakes.
28:19
Get into fears and lose your way. Don't lose your way. Find the light when it
28:25
rains. Oh, this is all we got. Show me light.
28:31
Show me love. Show me love. Show me love. Make a change until time is up. We
28:39
can wait for better days, but the days won't come. Show me love.
28:44
Show me love. Show me light. Show me love.
28:51
Make a change. All
28:58
right, you guys. So, now we are moving along to sweeping the kitchen floor. And
29:04
I want to tell you guys about this brand if you've never heard of it before. It is called Swapped, and I've had this
29:10
broom since we've moved in. We've been here for about 3 years now, and it is so
29:15
good. As you guys can see, it's like very, very sturdy. This is the angled broom. It also has like a rubber part at
29:23
the top so that your hands doesn't get like tired. But it is just really really
29:28
good to sweep with and you can buy like the full bundle or you can just buy like the stick of the broom and then it
29:35
allows you to like interchange and change out the heads of the broom. So, you can use like the angle head. You can
29:41
use a straight head. And you can also switch it out for a mop head, like a push broom, an outdoor broom, you can
29:47
switch it to like a microfiber mop. It has so many different interchangeable like heads that you can use. And it's
29:54
also very affordable. I think just the stick itself is maybe $15 and then like
29:59
the broom head is maybe $11. But it is all wooden and very, very sturdy. Just
30:05
an allaround good broom. I usually don't like rave about like certain kitchen cleaning products or any of them for
30:12
that matter, but this one I highly recommend. So, I'm going to link this down below for you guys. And if you do
30:19
end up getting this broom, make sure you let me know how you like it because it comes highly recommended. It's not
30:25
sponsored or anything. I really just love this. And I don't know what that says about either me or just the broom
30:32
itself. Either I am weird for having a love for a certain type of broom or it's
30:38
just a really really great broom. I don't know. I'm going to link it below and you be the judge of that. And it
30:44
also comes with a really really good dustpan which is not the one you see me using. It's actually inside of our
30:51
garage because we have to give it a good wash down. But both of them highly recommend it. And then this is typically
30:57
the part where I also will begin mopping. But just as I was finishing up sweeping, my family began to come
31:04
downstairs. And so I didn't really want to mop while they were all, you know, like walking through the kitchen. And to
31:09
be honest, chances are they're going to mess up the kitchen floor again around lunchtime or dinner time. And that is
31:16
exactly what happened. So it's usually best to just mop our floors at night after dinner and throughout the day just
31:23
give it a light sweep or do a vacuum with the wet dry vacuum. But also quick
31:29
tip, when you are cleaning, store your cleaning items where you can easily reach them. That way you can easily
31:36
sweep up as soon as there's a spill and mop up as soon as it happened opposed to having to go and pull it out of your
31:42
cleaning supply closet. So here I'm just cutting up some banana bread that I made with my son. We had some bananas that
31:49
was getting ready to go old. There are still some there in the background that you may be able to notice. So, instead
31:56
of throwing them away, my six-year-old suggested that we just make banana bread. So, that is what we did. And I'm
32:01
just cutting it up and getting it placed away for storage.
32:15
And you and me standing in the way of our sanity.
32:22
Yeah. On different sides on different times. Stuck in a ways we ain't changing. Can't read your mind. And I
32:29
really tried. You won't let me in like we're strangers. Say opposites. Supposed to attract but we both can tell. It
32:36
feels soft and should let it go but somehow we fold. And it happens way too often. We're so different. We're so
32:50
And then of course, while I'm cutting it up, the little ones, both my six-year-old and my one-year-old, was
32:55
asking for some of the bread in the midst of me getting it put away. So, you'll see me like cutting some and
33:01
handing them some as well. But, these are just reusable storage bags that we
33:08
purchased and we continue to use them over and over again. They're really good quality. highly recommend you use
33:13
reusable storage bags instead of consistently having to purchase the disposable ones. Unless you just don't
33:20
like washing them, which I completely understand that as well. But of course, more mess to clean because that just
33:26
happens. Mess just happens all day. But if you clean as you go, it'll make the job a little bit easier. And now I'm
33:32
just making a snack for my one-year-old as well. And all it is is just a piece of toast with some Better Goods
33:39
pistachio butter. She actually prefers this over peanut butter. So, now we are moving along to the front area of our
33:47
home. This is our front living room. And I have some baby furniture that I need to put away. This is her old baby swing
33:55
that she is no longer using. We have one here. And then we also have one downstairs in the workout gym where we
34:01
used to be able to put her when we were either homeschooling or working out, but she is way past the weight limit and she
34:08
doesn't like it anyway. It's just taking up space. So, we're going to get these put away and place them into storage in
34:13
case we have any future babies. And yeah, I was struggling to get this taken apart. It was definitely a lot easier to
34:20
like push the little push button or pin buttons, whatever you call them, into the poles than it is to take them apart.
34:27
So, I appreciate how easy it is to put it together. But I actually broke a pen
34:33
trying to get this taken apart. But for a good sturdy pen, it actually works to
34:39
use the ink pen to take it apart. So there's a tip for you. If you have any furniture to take apart that has those
34:44
little push buttons on it, use a pen and one that's not going to break on you. So I have this huge box and I'm actually
34:51
just going to be storing a swing in here. I'm storing her walker in here. But first, I'm giving it a good wipe
34:58
down because it has like watermelon stuck to it. So, that's nice. And then later, we're also going to add the bassinet to this box as well. I would
35:05
much rather only store like one box that has a few different pieces of furniture in it than have like three or four
35:11
different boxes in the garage. This is just easier for me because my husband is strong enough he can lift it up. Maybe
35:17
if I was doing the lifting, this wouldn't be the case. But yeah, as you can see, this box already has the swing and the walker, and it's going to fit
35:24
the other swing and the bassinet as well. We also have this pack and play that she doesn't really use anymore, but
35:30
I'm still using it just for diaper changes. It just makes it easier when we're downstairs and I don't feel like
35:36
running upstairs to change her diaper. I typically just keep some diapers here inside of this pack and play inside of
35:42
like the little diaper basket. And that is the only thing I'm using it for at
35:48
the moment. But it's easier to put this away because it just folds down and go into like a very small bag as opposed to
35:55
furniture that I have to take apart and put inside of the garage. So, I'm not really going to worry too much about the
36:00
pack and play. At least not right now.
36:10
for someone who could like the way. Then you came to me and you gave me
36:17
reason. I almost can't believe it.
36:25
Every time we touch, I feel at home. There's no way I ever let you go. When
36:33
you put your hands in mine, I know I'm going to be all right.
36:39
I don't know what you do to me, but I feel like I am break up in the sky. When
36:46
you put your hands in mine, I know I'm going to be all right. Cuz when we touch
36:53
is when I really come alive.
36:58
Yeah. Cuz when we touches, when I really come alive.
37:04
Yeah. I don't know anybody that could compare
37:11
to you. The way you're always smiling. The way you light up a room. I couldn't live without you. Not even if I tried.
37:18
Cuz every day I'm with you. I'm flying over the clouds.
37:25
Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm flying over the clouds
37:31
and I'm not coming down. Every time we touch, I feel at home.
37:38
There's no way I'd ever let you go. When I put your hands in mine and I'm going
37:45
to be all right. I don't know what you do to me, but I
37:52
feel like I am way up in the sky. When you put your hands in mine, I know I'm
37:59
going to be all right. Cuz when we touches, when I really come alive,
38:08
when we touches, when I really come alive. Oh.
38:18
Ooh, I couldn't be without you now. I just can't see how. Not even if I tried.
38:25
Ooh, I couldn't be without you now. I just can't see how. Cuz I need you by my
38:32
side.
38:51
Every time we touch, I feel at home. There's no way I never let you go. When
38:59
you put your hands in mine and I'm going to be all right.
39:04
Yeah. I don't know what you do to me, but I feel like I am way up in the sky
39:12
when you put your hands in.
39:18
And this front room is actually kind of like our living room slash homeschool
39:24
room because it's a room that we don't spend a lot of time in just hanging out. We typically do that in the family room,
39:31
but every once in a while, my son and my husband will come in here and sit on the sofa and play video games together, but
39:38
other than that, we use it to homeschool in because we used to homeschool upstairs inside of what is now our
39:45
daughter's bedroom and the nursery. So, this is just what it's looking like
39:51
right now. Maybe one day we'll convert it completely to a home school room and get rid of the sofa and move the video
39:56
games to the family room. But I'm kind of just like putting the homeschool table up against the wall. I normally
40:03
like to have the chair like facing away from the wall and not looking at the
40:09
wall. But because we do homeschool very loosely in the summer, we've actually
40:14
been doing a lot of our home school right at the kitchen table. It's a lot easier for me to do it that way because
40:20
sometimes we do like our morning baskets like while we're doing breakfast or while I'm cooking or cleaning. And it's
40:27
easier for baby girl to play in the family room with like more areas. You guys saw like she has some of her
40:33
Montasaur toys in the family room and the rug. So, it's a lot easier for me to
40:38
have like both the kids in the family room and the kitchen that's like right next to each other than it is to
40:44
homeschool here inside of the living room. So, for now, I'm okay with how the
40:49
front room is looking. And then once we begin back homechool up, which is actually going to be a little bit later
40:54
this month, we may rearrange the furniture a bit more. I'm not completely sure yet because we have a few things
41:03
coming up for us later this year. So, I don't know. We'll talk more about that in a later video. But for now, I am
41:10
decluttering my desk, which often gets pretty cluttered very easily. I normally
41:15
have like my work equipment, like my cameras and things, my study Bibles, my devotions. I also have like a Silhouette
41:23
Cameo label cutter, some mail. So, I'm just going to go through all of this and get it decluttered and then continue
41:29
with the cleaning.
41:46
This is a good a day as any to start the rebuilding of life.
41:55
The roads that lay open are many when the old ones gone under the knife.
42:05
And I can feel the sun on my skin.
42:16
again into thought from within.
42:28
Today and tomorrow, there's no
42:35
time to borrow. Today
42:40
is a good day to live.
42:48
This morning have a clear light as I need to see the horizon in the farart.
42:59
Excuses were too for a penny, but they've all gone out the window of
43:06
this car. And when I feel the wind
43:13
on my face.
43:19
All that ever was is a race.
43:31
Today, not tomorrow. There's no
43:39
time far today.
43:44
Well, something's got to give today. It's a good day to today
43:53
and not tomorrow. There's no
43:59
time to borrow today.
44:04
Well, something's got to give today. It's a good day to
44:22
Heat. Heat.
44:52
today and not tomorrow. There's no
44:59
time to borrow today.
45:05
Well, something's got to give. Today is a good day to today
45:14
and not tomorrow. There's no
45:20
time to borrow today.
45:25
Well, something's got to give today. It's a good day. Today,
45:35
it's a good day. Today is a good day to live.
45:52
Still remember when you walked into the room.
45:59
Think I knew right then that it was always you.
46:06
Something in your eyes, it was all so true.
46:12
Every step I took, they all led to you.
46:18
We were young and running free. We were never meant to be. But I could
46:25
not see you go
46:30
cuz of you. Don't want to waste another minute
46:37
without you. And I will love you in the dark. And if
46:44
you ever fall out, please don't leave me out. Cuz I will
46:51
love you till I'm gone.
46:56
If you just hold on,
47:03
if you just hold on. All right, you guys. We are getting
47:09
through this house. So, we're now upstairs and we did some cleaning inside
47:14
of baby girl's room. We also made up the bed in my husband and I's room. And here is the second bassinette that I need to
47:22
take down. We took down the first baton that we were hanging on to this one for some reason. But yeah, she's way too
47:28
big. Way way way past the weight limit for this one. So, it's time to take it
47:34
down. I was literally using it for storage. But we're going to pull out a ink pen, take this apart, and add it to the box downstairs
47:50
cuz of you. Don't want to waste another minute
47:57
without you. I will.
48:04
That was so hard. I just Oh, that took so much of my
48:10
energy. I'm sweating just trying to have got this thing apart. But there it is.
48:15
And I can go add it to the box with other baby things that I took apart. And there's one more swing in the basement
48:21
that I need to also take apart.
48:28
I will never let it go. Say it ain't so.
48:35
Say you won't go. I will love you in the dark
48:43
cuz of you. Don't want to waste another minute
48:51
without you. I will love you in the dark. And if you
48:59
ever fall, please don't leave me out cuz I will
49:05
love you till I'm gone.
49:15
Bedroom wasn't looking too bad. Not mine or my daughters. The messy one is
49:20
usually my son's because both the kids play in there. But now I'm giving this carpet a good vacuum because what it
49:26
really needs is a good carpet clean. So here I'm just vacuuming and I love this vacuum because it's very lightweight.
49:33
It's not cordless. So maybe one day I would like to switch to a cordless one. But I love this one because it's really
49:39
really good at filtering out allergens. This is a shop a Shark vacuum, not a
49:44
shop vacuum, although we do have a shop vacuum as well. This is a Shark vacuum
49:49
and I love all of the different interchangeable parts and I love how easy it is to just detach the stick from
49:55
the vacuum to get those hard to reach places. As you guys can see, I'm like getting the corners underneath the chair
50:02
without having to move all of the furniture. And then I even like to drag it across the room with me and get all
50:09
of the other areas as well. It's very lightweight and very easy to clean. Like I said, you can add other attachments to
50:15
it as well. So, just giving it a really good vacuum. And you can see all of the dust. This is quite disgusting. You can
50:21
see all the dust inside of the vacuum. I need to go ahead and empty out and rinse this vacuum out really, really good, but
50:28
definitely doesn't interfere with the efficiency of the vacuum. And here is the Hoover carpet cleaner, which has
50:36
also seen better days. We have had this vacuum for quite some time now. We've
50:41
had it since we had a pet. used to have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. And so
50:48
we literally used to have to shampoo our carpets like every 2 weeks because I was severely allergic. So now little Bailey,
50:55
we miss Bailey so so much. We had him for a few years and then my cousin now
51:00
takes care of Bailey because the allergies got so bad. But here is a close-up look at the carpet cleaner in
51:07
action. Love this Hoover carpet cleaner. It's definitely not a lightweight, but it gets the job done. So, going to link
51:15
it down below. Highly recommend this carpet cleaner.
51:44
Candle light in the dark. Weight of a broken heart. Knees falling
51:51
on the floor. I could hear you pray
51:56
and listen. I won't forget the way that you called me back. Because
52:03
of the hope you had, I'm forever changed.
52:09
Yeah. I'm forever changed because of you.
52:19
Yeah. It's your faith
52:25
that made those mountains move. It's your faith
52:31
that brought me to the truth. It's the way you called heaven down.
52:38
When you pray for where I am now, it's your faith.
52:44
It's your faith that made those mountains move.
52:52
How you made those mountains move. Yeah. Yeah.
53:01
All of the pain you faced, trials you overcame,
53:07
every road that we paid. Thank you for it all.
53:13
I wish you could see me now way up beyond those clouds. I think I
53:20
would make you proud. And your prayers haven't let me fall. It's your faith
53:29
that made those mountains move. It's your faith
53:35
that brought me to the truth. It's the way you called heaven. I will pray for
53:44
where I am now. It's your faith. It's your faith.
53:51
It's your faith that made those mountains move. It's
53:58
your faith that brought me to the truth. It's the
54:05
way you called heaven down. Pray for where I am now. It's your
54:12
faith. It's your faith that made those
54:17
mountains move.
54:22
How you made those mountains. Ooh yeah.
54:28
How you made those mountains. Ooh yeah.
54:35
How you made those mountains. Oh,
54:42
it's your faith that made those mountains move. It's
54:49
your faith that brought me to the truth. It's the
54:56
way you called heaven down when you prayed for where I am now. It's your
55:03
faith. It's your So, here back inside of my daughter's
55:08
nursery, I am just vacuuming her room as well. And if it seems like I'm just like back and forth like between the
55:13
different rooms, I usually like to clean all the rooms first and then mop all of
55:19
them at the same time or vacuum all of them at the same time. So now that I'm upstairs, I wanted to make sure that I
55:25
cleaned both mine and my daughter's room before I began the vacuuming and the shampooing. Especially because for my
55:31
son's room, I already vacuumed and shampooed his carpet. But the last time
55:36
that I shampooed mine and my daughter's carpet, I think it has been maybe two or
55:43
3 months, we don't have to do it as regularly as we used to when we had a pet, but it still needs to get done. We
55:51
just don't do a ton in these two rooms. Not like my son's. His room just gets a lot more traffic than ours, and the kids
55:59
play on his floor a lot more often. So, I really, really want to stay on top of shampooing his carpet a lot more often.
56:06
So, I just did shampoo his carpet a week ago. In case you are wondering, she is only a year old and why do she have a
56:14
queen-sized bed? You guys, I promise I'm not putting my one-year-old in that bed all by herself. I just want to clear the
56:20
air on that one. I just wanted to skip the toddler bed and we just got a crib
56:27
and then we got the queensiz bed so that as soon as she outgrows her crib instead of putting her inside of a toddler bed
56:34
and then a twinsiz bed, she can just transition to the queensiz bed with a bed railing. That way we save money on
56:41
having to buy the other two. And now you guys can get a look at how dirty that water is. So yeah, definitely needed to
56:48
get that done and glad that I did. Also pretty sure we spilled some protein
56:54
shake, chocolate protein shake on the carpet a couple of weeks ago and I thought I did a good job scrubbing it up
57:00
with a wet towel, but yeah, pulled some of that up out the carpet as well. So now here that we are inside of my son's
57:07
room, it looks a lot worse than what it is. Yes, he has toys all over the floor. And I'm glad that he does because that
57:13
means that he's actually playing with toys, being creative like a kid opposed
57:18
to being in front of the television all day, which he does. Sometimes he does, but I prefer him to be playing. So, it
57:24
looks worse than what it actually is. I just have like baskets with toys that
57:30
are all alike. So, here in this basket is where all of his wooden toys go, as well as his wooden toys that goes with
57:37
his fire station. They all go inside of this basket. And then he also has a separate basket for his railroad tracks,
57:44
a separate basket for his magnetiles, and a separate box for his Legos. This here, toy box, is where all of his toys
57:51
go, which, as you can see, it's over stuffed. So, we're going to have to take a couple of toys out of there. And that is just how I stay on top of like being
57:58
able to clean it easily. making sure like once I notice that box starts to overflow, I know some toys need to go
58:04
into rotation because I need it to be easy for me to clean, but mostly for him
58:09
to clean to be able to put things where they go every once in a while, at least once per week. I want to make sure that
58:14
it's getting cleaned the right way. He's good with like cleaning up for the most part, but again, I just like to make
58:20
sure that it's getting done the right way and go behind him at least once per week.
58:28
No one else makes me feel this way. Don't know what you do.
58:36
Hold my hand. Could you hold my hand? Look me in the eyes.
58:45
You and me. Yeah, that's all I need. And I'll be all right.
58:52
I'll be right here. I swear that I'll
58:57
stay here with you. Hold me closer.
59:04
I want to stay here with you. All that we have is each other now. I
59:13
promise I won't leave your side. Be who you are and you'll be enough. If
59:21
you're giving me your love, giving me your love. All that we have is each other now.
59:30
Promise you won't leave my side. I hope who I am is enough for you. If
59:37
I'm giving you my love, giving you my love, love.
59:52
Tell me what what you want to do. I'll do anything
1:00:00
as long as I can be here with you. Everything's all right.
1:00:07
I'll be right here. I swear that I'll
1:00:12
stay here with you. Hold me closer.
1:00:20
I want to stay here with you. All that we have is each other now. I
1:00:28
promise I won't leave. So, I have not seen him playing with
1:00:34
these toys much except the pencils. The coloring pencils need to go downstairs with our homeschool stuff. That little
1:00:40
toy I got to take to baby girl's room. But the toy box would not close easily
1:00:46
earlier. So, I had to take out some things so that things doesn't start to
1:00:52
look cluttered and like it's overflowing with toys. So, I haven't seen him playing with the host. The ball, he
1:00:59
should not be playing with that in the house anyway. So, I'm going to take that to the sports bin that we have
1:01:04
downstairs with like balls and different type of sports in it. That's typically for outside. So, we're going to put that
1:01:10
downstairs. boxing gloves that he used to play with, but I don't even know
1:01:15
where is the little thing that he's supposed to hit anymore. I don't even remember what you call it right now. I'm
1:01:22
tired, you guys. But those are going to go into rotation, but he still has like his fire station with his fire truck and
1:01:28
some Paw Patrol toys in there, as well as like a couple toy store toys in there. And then majority of what he
1:01:35
plays with is over here, which is his magnet tiles, his wooden train tracks,
1:01:40
his Duplo blocks, other little wooden toys that go to his fire station. And then in that top bin, he just has more
1:01:46
books that wouldn't fit over here. He also has plenty of books up there. So, we're probably going to need to just get
1:01:52
like a taller bookshelf, but I'm going to make his bed really quick. and his
1:01:58
floor. I shampooed it a week ago, so I'm not going to shampoo it again. So, I'm going to make his bed and then get out
1:02:04
of here.
1:02:36
Don't mind that random balloon that has been here since Nava's birthday 2 weeks ago. I have that wooden chair there
1:02:43
because he likes to sit there in front of the window with his guitar and his tablet for his guitar lessons. So, we
1:02:50
have a random chair up here, but I'm going to turn on his filter
1:02:57
and then he's good to go. This room is good and room is good to go. Next, we're
1:03:05
going to be doing the bathrooms. But first, I'm going to add some peppermint essential oils. Just a couple of drops into the towel warmer. I like to use
1:03:12
warm towels in the morning when I wake up to clean my face. And the peppermint oil is refreshing and it also has some
1:03:20
good healing properties, especially if you suffer from breakouts. So, that's why I'm adding that peppermint oil. But
1:03:26
the bathroom isn't too bad. I try to stay on top of the bathroom daily. Like, if I see a mess, I try to get it up
1:03:32
completely. But the guest bathroom or the bathroom downstairs, can't say the same for that one. And as you guys can
1:03:38
see, we have some really really rusty water. So, I had to get that iron out of
1:03:44
the or that rust stain out of the sink, which you guys are going to see how I do that just in case maybe you have well
1:03:49
water or hard water as well. But I'm getting some of the clutter out of these cabinets first. And I'm either going to
1:03:57
throw it away or take it upstairs. So, here I'm spraying down the inside of the sink with a product called Iron Out.
1:04:04
It's not all natural. It's very, very strong. So, you just spray it in there and let it sit. And it just dissolves
1:04:10
the minerals, the iron, and the rust stains out of the sink all by itself. So, I'm letting that get done while I'm
1:04:17
working on cleaning down the surfaces, cleaning the toilet. And I'm just using some toilet bowl cleaner. And I also
1:04:24
like to clean with disinfectant wipes that I can easily just throw away. So
1:04:29
you guys are going to be seeing me use disinfectant wipes, but also the microfiber towels that are really,
1:04:35
really good for cleaning as well, which you see me using here. I'm going to throw that away. But first, I'm going to
1:04:41
clean the sink. And then I'm going to clean the toilet so that once I'm done with the toilet, I can just throw this
1:04:47
towel away because I just don't like to reuse my toilet bowl cleaning towels.
1:04:53
That's just my preference. I know everyone does it different, but yeah, I always like to use a towel that I can
1:04:59
throw away once I'm done cleaning down the toilet. It's definitely not my
1:05:04
favorite thing to do. So, I like to save cleaning my bathrooms for last. If ever
1:05:09
I'm doing like a whole house clean or any type of cleaning, I clean my bathrooms last. I wear some sort of
1:05:15
apron. I throw away the towels I use to clean the toilets. I wash my apron and
1:05:21
then I hop right into the shower. I don't know. I don't know what it is. I just feel like bathrooms can be a little
1:05:27
bit germy. So, that is why I wanted to save this for last, especially because
1:05:33
it's been just a long day of cleaning. So, I didn't want to do this and then have to go like make up the beds, if
1:05:39
that makes sense. So, sweeping and mopping. And here is how that looks. So,
1:05:46
I think I'm done with cleaning today. I got a ton of cleaning done. More than I even planned to get done, more than I
1:05:52
anticipated that I would get done. I did. And now I'm going to go have myself
1:05:58
something to eat because I only drank a protein shake, which I think has like 600 calories in it. So, that's what's
1:06:04
been holding me over. Iced coffee, water, and a 600 calorie 25 g protein
1:06:09
shake. I'm going to have another one of those later today, but it's going to be like a late late night like thing, like
1:06:15
after dinner. For now, I'm just going to actually like fuel myself with some actual food, take a little break, and
1:06:21
then I'm going to put dinner in the oven. We are just going to have like a Costco meatloaf and mashed potato meal. They have like these pre-cooked meals
1:06:28
that you can buy. Perfect for when you have like long days like today where I've just been pretty much cleaning all
1:06:33
day. Earlier, my husband went out and he ended up getting like lunch for everybody. So, that's what I'm about to
1:06:38
go eat right now and then getting a little bitty break. I feel like I need to take a quick shower before I do that
1:06:43
as well. I love myself for getting this done. It's the hard thing, but it pays
1:06:49
off in the long run. Cleaning up this wig is going to be so much easier. I even have a little bit more space, a
1:06:54
little less clutter since putting away some things. Everything that you do makes your future job a bit easier. And
1:07:02
we're going to be doing this again the end of next month. Another whole house clean. Hopefully, I will have
1:07:09
decluttered more along the way to make that whole house clean even easier. I
1:07:14
even wanted to go and take a look at the gym, but I don't even have the energy to
1:07:19
do that anymore because the thing is my husband's been working out in the gym. Typically, it would be the both of us, but I'm not going to I'm going just be
1:07:26
very upfront. I have not worked out in that gym in the past, I don't know, two or three two weeks, I want to say. Maybe
1:07:33
we're just going to say three. It takes some energy for me to move his heavy weights like around to be able to like
1:07:39
fully like get in the nooks and crannies and dust in there and all of that good stuff. And it really doesn't take that
1:07:46
long if that stuff is out of the way. So maybe tonight when I'm like walking past it cuz it's like next to our laundry
1:07:51
room, give that a little vacuum and then just dust around a little bit and wipe down all of like the workout mats, the
1:07:58
surfaces of like, you know, everything that we use. And that doesn't take but maybe 5 minutes or so. So, like I said,
1:08:04
the hard part is just moving the weights around. So, we'll do that a little bit later. And we're saving the laundry room
1:08:09
for a completely another day because that is just a project, not a clean. A
1:08:15
project. Okay. And with that, we sum up today's cleaning video. I hope that you guys enjoyed this whole house clean with
1:08:20
me. I absolutely love getting these videos done. I like to just say a little prayer and set the tone for the day and
1:08:26
just dive right in and get to cleaning. So, if you enjoyed this video, go ahead and give it a thumbs up. If you haven't
1:08:31
