Sounds like Emily has been a huge help to you and your family! She seems so sweet and I'm glad that you found her! Thanks for letting us tag along as you clean!
Peace is growing so fast and getting more cute and more beautiful every day ❤❤
Good morning. When my husband and I purchased our house and some areas had carpet, that's the first thing we would tell our children to take your shoes off at the door. That's what saved our carpet, and whenever we had family or friends coming over, we had shoe covers for them right at the door. I didn't like anyone walking on my floors without a shoe cover or shoes off because they were bringing in whatever they walked on outside.
No shoes on feet in my home.
My daughter is that way, no shoes 👞 allowed. She does provide clean socks 🧦 for her guests and family members.
Same in my house, no shoes! What we do is keep some $1cheap flipflops/slides in a basket near the door they’re unisex and easily worn by many sizes and guests have the option to wear those!
@@kristindiglio2506 Great idea! I will give this information to my daughter.
How slippery are the shoe covers? I’m having some floors redone Friday. Will need shoe covers for the day.
We live in the country we used a 'tree bag" for 2 years now. I also end up storing other Christmas stuff in there and have had no issues ❤️
Would love to find someone like your Emily. We are raising our two young grandsons. It’s a lot harder the second time around!
I've had a Hoover steam cleaner for at least 25 years and it still works. Have also always had their vacuums.
I hope your farm turns into a family compound as your kids grow and have families! 🥰
I have that same bag. I’ve had it 8 years and it’s still going strong!
Farm plus carpet plus lots of kids equals stress. Get rid of the carpet and replace it with something easy to clean.
Seriously..lol..
In the new house we will not have much carpet.
Agree
Sarah I'm so sorry that that Couch has and is giving you so much grief. And as far as putting all your Christmas stuff in with the Tree. I would have probably put the Stockings in a separate bag and then put it in with the Tree. Hopefully When the tree is put in Storage the branches will not trash the Stockings. Anyhow you did a bang up job of Putting that Tree in that large Tree Bag
Kudos to you.
I got a tree bag this year too. The new tree I bought (9 ft) came in a box so small I couldn't believe it. So.. the bag. I love it. Didn't have to squash the limbs up as much and lots of room. I didn't put anything else in mine, but I don't see why it would be any problem to put the items you did in the bag.
We live on a small farm and whoever lived here before put carpet in the living and bedroom. Big mistake when you live out in the country. We haven’t replaced it YET but will soon. My husband carries mud in everyday! I mop and clean my carpets often.
The new house will not have much carpet.
In the UK we call all types of vacuum cleaners hoovers.
I’m so proud of myself now that I can name all the kids correctly in the intro photo! 😊
well done
We splurged on a Christmas tree bag with wheels! Has made it so much easier to handle the Christmas things.
Hoping shoes off at the door helps saves you from extra cleaning because we know you have enough things to do. Very thankful my kids respect the no shoes rule.
Sarah, I live vicariously through you and your family. I was only able to have one healthy, live baby but my heart has always wanted more.
I love your ideas on canning, decorating, designing etc! I can’t wait to follow the journey of your new home being built too.
Sarah, did you see how much space is under your stairs?!! I mean, lots of space, it's walled in right? How about someone make a door and you use the space under the staircase as holiday storage?
Under the upstairs stairs are stairs to the basement and there is a small storage under them.
No shoes inside is a great way to maintain a cleaner house!
Make cleaning the stairs easier by starting at top and working your way down
Good idea!
Buy wrapping paper on clearance after Christmas. Paper rolls store perfectly in tree bags.
You might find it better Sarah to start at the top of the stairs and work your way down that way you are not kneeling on wet carpet ❤
Good idea!!
Yup...thats what my mom did..top down.😊
I NEED that Hoover!!! Great ad lol! Never thought I’d be excited or grateful about an ad on TH-cam, but I definitely am today! Looking into buying one now.
Love it!!
Good job.. but... it would be better to put the top of the tree first, cuz when you take it out... you would have the stand, and each piece in order! The way you stored it, you will need to take all the pieces out and find the bottom to start! Good job though!!
Love the hat! Also the cute little toys on the stairs, so real!! I would love living in a family compound.
The Christmas tree bag is an awesome idea!!
Love the “precious” couch saga.
I am guessing you got it from NFM. If so, keep on top of them. They pulled that with my sister. It took them calling for like 6 months before NFM admitted the correct table was in stock and they came to switch it out. My sister called every week to check on it...and the only reason they got the correct table is that we saw it in a sales ad.
I love in Canada and it is customary to remove your shoes. If you want to wear shoes inside there are slippers or shoes designated just for that purpose to never go outside. I always found it very odd that Americans leave their shoes on I have a hard enough time keeping floors clean when we remove shoes I couldn't imagine the mess if they stayed on.
In the last couple of years, I've switched to this and am loving it. It's just not our culture to take shoes off, but I do think it's better to take them off for so many reasons.
Another Canadian. No one wears outdoor shoes here. Also found it weird when we had a house in Florida and visitors never removed their shoes. Floors were always dirty and I spent cleaning.
We take our shoes off in the house and I am American 😊
The kids do take their shoes off....this just was a mistake!
Couch space is so important! Thank goodness you had it to suck on.
to be sick on?
Tip about cleaning g stairs, always start at the top😊
Good tip!
The best clean for light carpets is hot water and Tide Landry soap.
Is it rude to ask what brand the couch is? We have a terrible time with couches! We are so hard on stuff. I'm ready to buy something that would hold up better.
It is called The Durango from Furniture Row
Sarah I pray for u all here in New York ! 😇 I’m a 69 yr old widow suffering with lip edema can u please pray for me ? Hope all is well with u all! 😇❤️
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏
Lord, I pray you heal JoAnn. Relieve her symptoms. Amen.
Yes! Prayed for you.
@@OurTribeofMany u r the sweetest n kindness person ! Luv from New York 😇❤️ Thk u
Sarah... Beings you really like that couch so much.... If you anticipate you might have a place to utilize the WRONG COUCH you have at the farm house in there new house you're planning to build..... On the day they're supposed to deliver the new couch, you might give that company a call and ask them how much they're willing to discount the couch you have at the farm house. Often, they're willing to highly discount something rather than have to pick it up to bring back to the store and sell as a used couch at a discount anyway. Ive seen friends get as much as 50% off. Definitely making it worth their while! (ESPECIALLY beings they so often quit making these things we love, and you're no longer to get that exact one again. We just had it happen with my dad's Absolute ALL TIME FAVORITE recliner when we went to purchase a matching one for my mother. So we had to special ordered / special made from the same company, all to have it NOT BE THE SAME IN ANY WAY after all the waiting time and money! Darn it anyway!!!)
Thanks again for sharing your life with us! We really enjoy watching your family!! So glad you're all feeling better!!!
Love the tree bag idea! And congratulations on not losing any socks when you folded the laundry.👌
We love our Hoover. The hardest part is getting started! 😂
It's nice and a blessing to have good help.
I love the couch and that color.
Peace is growing so fast. She's such a cutie. ❤
Seeing Tory,
it's as if Josephine didn't leave.😊😊
I love my tree bag! Much easier to put it away versus the box..
Your college helper seems like a really nice lady. She seems to really enjoy the children.
I hear Sarah out of breath and immediately think “could another baby be on the way?!” 😄❤️.
Thanks for sharing todays vlog!
Maybe cause she said she always wanted 12!
I thought the same thing.
Me to
No....just out of shape!😂
I thought the same thing
We use this carpet cleaner! We have 4 little kids, #5 otw. And we use it at least once a week but sometimes daily! We haven't used our full size carpet cleaner but once or twice for rugs in a year!
Awesome!
I think all parents from the 60’s and 70’s got pulled into buying a Hoover🤦🏿♀️🤣. That was the only vacuum I knew growing up🤷🏿♀️🤣
Or Kirby. Everyone in my family had a Kirby. Worked great but big and heavy.
Yes - bring family living close to family back!!! I loved weekend dinners/cookouts together.
I think God sent you Emily because he knew you needed some help! Such a blessing. I finally changed from Bissell to Hoover spot cleaner and also the upright carpet cleaner. Never been happier! Everything pops off so you can keep the cleaner looking brand knew! My Hoover has a heating element and the carpets are dry in 30 minutes! Amazing!
That is awesome!
Build a little storage spot under the stairs in the farm house. That big ol red bag might fit. :)
Thank you again for all your videos! I think I watch every one. And I can totally relate with the "couch stress" you were talking about.
They just announced today that egg prices are going down Feb 6
Yes I would make a new rule , No Shoes on in Hpuse😉
It is a rule.....that was broken this time 😂
So funny you say that because we got a Hoover for our wedding shower almost 15 years ago. It was junk lol. We will never buy a Hoover vacuum again 😂😂. We may try the carpet cleaner at some point though lol
Ooops....sorry!
@@OurTribeofMany it’s funny though how some brands don’t work for everyone 😂
They are not the same as the old ones.
@@myrtisallotey8928 that is true. Nothing is made the same anymore 😞
Run some clean water through your rug scrubber hose before you put it away or it will get stinky
Thanks for the tip!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel. Once you build your house, what are you going to do with your farmhouse? Is it there for your older children to move into once they get of age or is it just an investment for y'all?
Mrs. Sarah don’t worry about what people think about you. I really love you & Mr. Solo. you are a wonderful mom ,Christian lady & amazing Christian TH-camr.
That was a cool video! It was so strange to see you without the family!! I'm glad you had a productive day! I have a little hoover spot cleaner but I haven't used it yet! You inspired me to bring it out!
I put all Christmas in the Christmas tree bag if it'll fit. Why not.
Sarah... You should be a story teller the "Saga of the Couch"I loved it 😁. I always watch and Love it every time. God Bless Your beautiful Family..Love from Kansas..I am a empty nester but ordered your book I am so EXCITED to get it!!!!!!😍
Awesome! Thanks for ordering our book.
Very interesting folding technique on the bath towels. I have that exact same tree collar, I love it!!
It’s not even 8:30 in the morning & I’m crying watching this, is it PMS or me missing my mom? Whatever it is I love your family.
I love my Christmas tree bag. I add my wrapping paper because it’s long enough to hold the paper rolls. When necessary I securely wrap items that I add to my tree bag to avoid damage or unnecessary wrinkles. Truly helps and reduces the need to even more storage containers. Love you all!
Great tip!
Morning Sarah. Happy New Year. I have been on TH-cam timeout, 😂. I miss watching you and the family. I’m amazed at how time is flying and how the children have grown. You and Solo are raising beautiful, well rounded children; God bless. Congrats on the new farm house. Love the couch, where did you purchase? I will be catching up on your channel today. Have a great day.❤️
It looks like you got a a lot of stuff accomplished at your farm house!! I like the Hoover cleaner sounds like a good one!! My parents had a Hoover vaccum cleaner lasted for many years did a great job!! I always enjoy your stories!! That tree bag is great!! Happy Wednesday to you Sarah!! I always love seeing sweet Nessa too!!
Furniture geek here...is that the Softlines Pista sectional in Splendor Chestnut? Told you I was a geek. ☺
No....It is the Durango from Furniture Row.
Micah just makes me happy~ something about that guy...he's so a well-rounded; intelligent, handsome, funny, kind, strong- & I'm sure the list goes on for those who really know him. My perspective is quite limited, yet he's clearly an exceptional human, imho.
Wow~ nice find on the tree bag, & I had no idea either. Brilliant to put everything in one bag too. Love that.
Good job as always Sarah👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽with or without help, you get it done!!!! God bless you, Solo and your beautiful tribe of many🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
When are you going to hire someone to till up a huge garden spot, on your new property
Love the Christmas tree bag. I got one last year for the first time and wondered why I hadn’t gotten one sooner. My kids joke around and say it looks like a body bag and that we have Santa stuffed in there lol.
😂
If you push the branches together, they take up less room.
Shoe polish works great on leather couches. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I always feel blessed when I watch you.
Nothing to do with the product you have there it's nice 😊 but I've always thought 💭 you should have a Bissell crosswave! Would be perfect for you makes for less work on all floors ☺️
Also I have that Christmas tree bag I also put extra decorations in it works great 👍
I'm in California so I get to start my day with thanksgiving to the LORD...and then joy from your spirit and your BEAUTIFUL family because I watch your early morning video drops. Sarah, Thank you for being so faithful! Love you guys! Bethany 😊
You really cleaned up! Love your hat an hair
Loved watching you fold the laundry! My girls are grown now and I miss folding little clothes as they come out of the dryer.,
You brought the best helper with you.
I am sure you hear it a lot, but just want to say you have a beautiful family. Big families and together time even while doing chores have dwindled but it is how I grew up. I miss it. We still have a fairly large extended family but only get together a few times a year if lucky because as time goes on, each has their own extended family and people move, etc. and life and jobs interfere. You aren't to the point yet where there are grandkids and children having left the nest so enjoy every moment. With such a big family you will still have it but it does change and evolve of course as you know.
Good morning 🙏🏽 that Christmas 🎄 bag is a great way to storage all the items n one place all together ❤️.
I had covid over Christmas
I still feel like I haven't fully recovered from it as yet 😕
K from UK 🇬🇧 xxxxx
🥲
My family got sucked into buying a Rainbow vacuum 😂 I didn’t know Hoover ever did door to door sales like that
I guess that was the only way to buy them at one time.
a great rug cleaner is FOLEX you can get it at LOWES...
Fun video. Thanks. Congratulations on the new book delivery.
Sarah you are such a serving woman…many moms when they get “free time” would got get coffee and shop….not you , you clean and do laundry…yes we are a “remove shoes home “ too…it makes a difference in cleaning and preserving carpets etc.
I guess I would too but I don't like coffee or shopping 😂
I love the couch! Can you let us know where it's from?
I love this family puts a smile on my face when I see a notification got a new vlog 😁
Yay! Thank you!
Love this family I am a big family and I like to get tips and tricks from you on how to feed big families
Love the hat Sarah! I don’t know how you get everything done! Couch is awesome!
We switched to the tree bags three years ago - game changer! I put extra items in ours too. One of my underlying goals since 2022 was to do things that make my life easier.
Great goal!
Love the Couch story!!! Glad they are replacing it with the right one!!!
Hi Sarah,
I’m wondering f what kind of camera you’re using now because the videos seem more blurry lately. It seems to take a while to focus sometimes.
Sarah you are such a busy mom ! So industrious the stairs look beautiful,you did such a nice job on them ☺️💐‼️
We have the Hoover upright carpet cleaner and we've had it over 20 years and we love it. People have borrowed it and we've used it in two houses.
Hi Sarah! Your hair looks darker, love it! Sending warm wishes from TN!
Sarah keep up the good work! We LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel. Really enjoyed this vlog, major cleaning motivation vibes which was what I needed lol. I do hear u out of breath like u said but I think it was in ur pregnancies I remember u saying about it before lol 😆 🤔....anyway as I say, we look forward to your vlogs and fast becoming fans of papas channel. Just heading now to preorder ur book xx
I was so out of breath that day I wondered if I was pregnant myself! 🤣 ps I’m not
What book? Please tell
@Our Tribe of Many 😄...aww and you make such adorable wee babies!!
Book has been pre-ordered!!! (Flippin menopause brain at age 37 lol...I forgot to do it at the time lol) but I've got it preordered now!!) I'm so excited.
I never knew about Christmas tree bags! I feel like I have been cheated!😂
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I just put that tree bag on my wish list (no spend January)! Thank you for sharing! We might get two! 🎄🎄
Love it!!
I tried something new to me. I canned fresh mushrooms, added water to fill the quart jars up. They came out beautifully, figured I could use the broth for soups, stews, casseroles, rice dishes, anything that calls for a broth. Used the mushrooms in a recipe that called for mushrooms. I've tried them they are wonderful.
My Christmas tree is still up as well, and it’s nowhere near as big as y’all’s but I’ve been procrastinating on taking it down. I know it wasn’t easy for yah but this just gave me the motivation to take mine down lol so thank you❤
I am sorry to keep asking but, can you please tell me where you got the couch? I love it!
The “Durango”, I think, at Furniture Row.
I love your couches! Where are they from?
I got a bag for my last Christmas tree and I loved it! So much easier to fit it in. I’ve never had any problems with it.
I am glad you posted this because I need to clean my mother in laws stairs; she has the same machine and I haven’t dug in yet to figure out how to use it! 🙈
Love your videos. You show your real life. Kids interrupting ,messy house noise lol
Sarah you have such a beautiful family love watching your videos so glad you have help with the kids she seems so sweet and peace is so beautiful you are an awesome mom and a heart of gold thanks for always sharing God bless ❤️
Your kids are beautiful. Seems like they grew up overnight. Wow! How is it I haven't notice it until now. I enjoy your journey with your family, missed a few weeks so maybe that is why I noticed it. Peace!
