I took notes on your video. ❤ Here is some ideas. That help me. First, I bought those wool dryer balls from Walmart. They're hanging next to tbe fabric softer bottles. For a large family, you will want 4 but they come in packages of 2 or 4. You use them instead of fabric softer. They're absolutely amazing! They take away static, they help your laundry to dry a little quicker and they definitely do soften your clothes!!! A lady who suggested them to us had hers for 2 years now and still going strong. They also help pull pet hair away. You can also sprinkle essential oils on them before popping them in. Second, I buy those cheap microfiber dusting cloths from the dollar store and I use them on my floor Swiffer instead of buying more dry swiffer mops. They pull more pet hair off the floor than the swiffers do and you can keep reusing them.
Good tips, thank you for sharing! I need more wool drier balls. I gave up on them for awhile because the tiny humans in my house wouldn't stop taking them to throw around, lol!
Shayla, you may not see this comment bc this is an older video, but I want to tell you how much wisdom you have. You have lots of common sense solutions from which all mamas can benefit. Your godly encouragement means so much. I have thought so many times how much I'd enjoy coming over for tea and a visit at your kitchen table! Thank you for all the time you spend making content💕
So much to think about here in this video! The house work used to be something I really disliked and the fact that I needed to do it so many times an hour, day, week just made me frustrated. I was one that spent eight hours on a Saturdays cleaning my house every week, then when sweet children came I couldn't do that and it would never be clean all at the same time. I had an ugly realization that I was trying to make the "clean house" so important that it was changing who I wanted to be. My pour first child, having special needs, I couldn't worry about cleaning once we hit toddlerhood. That was a few hard months. But God taught me so much. I valued my family and just had to learn when and where to tidy up things. I know that I would love for things to be clean but I don't want to miss out on the years that I am in now. I know that I will not regret spending time with them and witnessing all of life. You will never hear me say "Oh. Oh I regret not washing the sheets every week or I wish I stopped holding my sick child so I could have put a load of dishes in the dishwasher".
You are so right, Alesha! I think if my pre kid self saw how dirty my house is now I probably would have walked off a cliff, lol! No, not really, but I certainly NEVER would have believed it. It's been very hard for me to let area's go, but the truth is as you said. I think satan loves to fling anything he can in our faces to distract us from what is most important and it takes a lot to ignore that, especially for get it done type people. Off topic, but I just noticed you have been here for TWO years at my channel! Thank you for this!! It sure means a lot to me!
I love your videos. It always inspires me to keep doing the housework. I have a large long haired German Shepherd who is my world, but my goodness I get frustrated because he loves going in mud all the time. I clean his paws at the door but it feels like I am hoovering non-stop because it's a rented house so I need to be a bit more particular as the landlord only permitted him to be here grudgingly
I was the same as you, i had hurt my back, and knee, and i thought by sitting down with ice packs on my knee didnt work, i found doing chores and stuff around the house, keeping me mobile took the pain away. So i agree with you, do physical work it takes the pain away and im doing great!
I hope you talk about the one with citric acid for hard water. I think that’s what it was, I can’t remember which video it was on and I’ve looked for it. Super excited for your video! Happy Holidays. God bless you and your loved ones.
I just found your channel and I am so glad I did! Absolutely love your style and you have such a nice voice to listen to. Thank you for all the tips and the devotionals. Newest item on my shopping list is citric acid! ;)
I'm so glad you included the citric acid and vinegar recipe here. You had mentioned it in a previous video, and I couldn't remember which one. 😊 Awesome video! Thank you!
I love your jewellery! Where did you get your earrings and rings? I love your style and helpful vids! Thank you for your tips and cleaning recipes! May the Lord bless you in all you do!❤😁
Thank you so much! The rings are just a collection I've been working on, I get them locally. The only one I have purchased online is this one amzn.to/3SMdf9h

Thank you so much for making this video it’s like you were reading my mind about the cleaning supplies you use! However i have a question or a couple maybe lol. Awhile back i made your citric acid recipe which i think is awesome, but the smell of the vinegar is so horrible i just can’t take it and I’ve had to dilute it with water ands use less vinegar because i can’t even breathe. The other thing is that i find this solution to be very sticky sometimes if it hasn’t been rinsed off completely so i was wondering if you’ve experienced any thing like this at all and what you do about it? I mean obviously other than just rinsing it off really well lol. Like am i using it incorrectly maybe?
Hello Lacey! Yes, it will be sticky if you don't rinse it off, so only use it on things you can rinse! As for the vinegar smell, some people make it with water instead of vinegar. Another option is to take lemon peels or orange peels, soak them in the vinegar for a week, strain them, and then use that with the citric acid. This helps with the smell a lot! Hope this helps!
@@mountainmamashomeoh wow thank you so much that’s all great advice! I was so excited for your cleaning products video i loved it! Thank you thank you thank you!
Do you guys not get baskets as standard with your sinks?!? I'm in Australia and I think all sinks for the last hundred years here have had some kind of basket/food catcher in all the sinks 😅
Did you say you use single ingredient citric acid as your dishwasher “detergent”? So far all my homemade attempts to dishwasher detergent has been unsuccessful.
baking soda will completely remove the smell of cat spray, God forbid you have a male cat that treats you to that lovely smell. Don't ask how I know. Word to the wise tho, open windows while vacuuming it up & use a GOOD vacuum or you'll be left with a fine powder coating everything. My cellar only gets organized 1 time a year, as the ceilings are so low that I can't stand up in it (old old house with a hand dug cellar). The jars get totally out of ORDER. I have no way to reasonably organize them. I have been working hard on not vocalizing hate towards housework or hating on certain areas of my home.
I took notes on your video. ❤

I am glad that housework and gardening helped your mobility issues. Wow!! Housework is really beneficial for so many things. I am glad.

I burnt a pot badly today and tried your citric acid with vinegar formula. Gosh, it works so well that i hardly ever had to scrub! Thank you!
That's great, thank you for telling me!

You are welcome, Friend!
What kind of surfaces would you recommend to use the citric acid vinegar cleaner on ? Is there anything that shouldn’t be cleaned with it ? Thank you!
I love your jewellery! Where did you get your earrings and rings? I love your style and helpful vids! Thank you for your tips and cleaning recipes! May the Lord bless you in all you do!❤😁

What kind of dust mop pads are you using?
Do you have recipes for your diy cleaning recipes
I shared most of them in this video but is there one in particular that you missed?
Can you share what laundry detergent you use that comes in 5 gallon containers? I saw the country save powder linked, but not the detergent. Thanks 😊

Bummer! Lucky you have a clever hubby 😊
Where can I get citric acid? Does Walmart carry it? If so, what department?
She put a link for amazon in the description!
It's also available from Azure Standard.
Hello Jennifer! It's in the description!
@@mountainmamashome Thank you!
Do you have anything that can help rust? We don't have a water softener. 😅
I'm sorry, I don't, I'll have to look into that!
Did I miss where the mop is from??
You didn't, I forgot to add the link, here it is!
