It gets better ladies, kids grow up, the house empties out and the time for cleaning returns. It's a sad place really, with the kids gone, but a much longer season of life than this one.Just do as she says, let go of perfect and enjoy this kids along the way. The only thing I would add is stop buying stuff, so much harder to organize daily than to tidy.
Thank you for this. I really needed to read this reminder
❤
I’d probably have tears in my eyes thinking about the time when my kids were little and how much I miss those days when I have a clean empty house.
Erma Bombeck once wrote a story Why don't you grow up". About all the challenges of kids and cleaning. and then one day she says the house is clean. It's quiet. Nothing's out of place. She can find things and she says into the silence."Why don't you grow up?"And the silence answers back"We did"... Enjoy the time with the children
Sooooo true! I spent 3 hours spring cleaning and empty nest. Ughhh
A real mom on the internet is soo rare, you’re amazing and your channel is such a breath of fresh air! It’s so realistic I love it! Thanks
I have found getting rid of clutter makes it so so much easier to keep a clean house.
It does
Yes! I'm trying to recounted mine because that's what takes up most of the time. Tidying and cleaning are separate tasks, but you can't clean before things are picked up and put away, which takes soooooo long when you have far too much JUNK, because we all know that's what most of us have. A bunch of unnecessary junk making our homes and minds a mess!
I need help decluttering
💯% yes! Mom of 4 littles here. 1500 Sq ft hpuse. Minimizing the stuff helps a bunch. Decreasing what I choose to buy and letting go of what no longer either has a very helpful purpose in my home or has a very important sentimental purpose.
@@jenniferneff1244Watch videos from The Minimal Mom. She's so effective in explaining the "why" of how clutter ends up and stays in our homes.
That Awkward Mom and The Minimal Mom have made a video or two together, I believe.
Thank you for this!! I did this with my family today (husband and 13-year-old son). My son was in charge of the music playlist. We did 1)kitchen, 2)tidy, 3)bathroom (mom)/laundry (dad + son), 4)floors, 5)one bedroom each. We had so much fun and got so much done. 10 minutes goes by fast when you are working together and we didn’t want to stop, so we did 2 rounds of kitchen and tidy. We hit 60 minutes before we got to bedrooms, but I agreed we could stop there for today. My son had the idea to start with bedrooms next time. We’re going to do this every day until our house is clean!! My guys are even excited.💙💙💙🌟🌟🌟
Sounds like a dream!👏🏼
Making it a team effort was a very smart idea.
We have to be ready to listen and DO. So, today I danced with you. Kids long gone. Hubby died suddenly some months ago. My years of clutter are in my own way. Time to make a happier home for me…and to invite people in.
Same
💜🥰💜💜💜
my sympathies to you
Yes Maggie, I am doing the same, creating a new and fun life. It's tough but there are others like us out there! I have started gardening and love Linda Vater's channel on TH-cam. Inspiring. Ariel is such a sweetheart, I wonder if she realizes this is a ministry? ❤
I'm sorry for your loss❤
I opened this video not really knowing what it was, just wanting company while I did dishes (and needed a long video, or so I thought!)
Here i am, 52 minutes later, and the whole house is a bit cleaner as well as almost all the dishes being done (there's a small number of beeswax sandwich wraps I didn't get to, but I'll do them later). What a motivating thing to discover. I've been getting unwell regularly recently and my doctor said I probably have burnout (unsurprising with a full time job and two school aged kids!) so I've been trying to take it easy, but I don't want to house to become a disaster in the process. Your mindset, Ariel, is just what I needed - let go of perfectionism, Time Box everything, get something done and then let the rest go.
Time for a stint on the couch with my cat, who didn't interrupt at all because he is Lazy and just slept the whole time.
You are doing God’s work, not just by cleaning your home, but encouraging and giving full on instructions to moms who have lost hope. Thank you for what you do. You don’t even realize the extent of what you do for humanity. God bless you. 💖
Thank you 🥰
My children are now grown living successful lives. A very happy time....im proud of them. They are my best friends. Sad time too because they've flown the nest. Enjoy each stage of life. Toddlers can clean.. yes i had twins then a single 16 months latter. I was constantly picking up toys. Then i realised if they were big enough to get toys out they were big enough to put them back. I made it a game. They would run around grabbing toys putting them away. When they were 3 i took pictures of the room clean. They would run around cleaning making the room match the pictures. While they were playing the cleanup game i could start dinner.
"if they were big enough to get toys out they were big enough to put them back. " Exactly! And make it EASY for them to tidy their things.
I love the idea of taking pictures and telling them to match it. 👌🏼
That’s smart. Not only make it engaging but at the same time it gives them an idea what mommy wants and it makes it easier for them to know what to do. Know what to aspire to.
I have done the tidy tango daily! I mop the bathroom every other day! I was able to start a 15 min declutter with that tidy tango attitude!! I stop when the timer goes off! Grandma M
This was very motivating 😊 I'm pregnant (10 weeks) and I'm in the morning sickness & complete exhaustion era 🤢 So my house has really went to crap 😭 I was just beginning to cook breakfast when I clicked on your video. I wasn't expecting a boost of motivation like that! I emptied the dishwasher, loaded it with dirty dishes and tidied the kitchen table in the 20 minutes it took my biscuits to bake! I also found myself trying to beat you 😂 Then I sat down to eat with my hubby & our toddler. I sat & watched the rest of your video & I'm feeling guilty now 😂 I think I'm gonna watch it again & work along side you for the rest of the video now that my breakfast has settled 😂 Thank you for the honesty & humor in your videos ❤ You're definitely my favorite cleaning mom channel here on TH-cam!
I love it! Don't feel guilty. When you're pregnant doing anything should be celebrated lol It's so hard during that nausea stage too! I'm proud of you ❤️
@@ThatAwkwardMom Awww, thank you! That means so much coming from an amazing mama like yourself! 😊❤️ We're all in this battle we call house cleaning together! 😂🙌
I love your video I may not have kids to clean up after anymore but have 13 cow dogs working on this ranch is exhausting. You motivated me. Yes I went from kids to dogs they all work cows. Thank you for giving me a little pep in my step.
Oh here a handy tip put your dish soap in a empty pump hand soap bottle not the foam one it makes a world of difference
I’m pregnant too, 14 weeks, and this whole trimester my house has gone to shite 😂
Honey,by the time you get your home back you will have grandchildren
"If you don't clean, it will keep growing and then you may lose your husband in it" 21:33
That was hilarious!
Funny thing is, I brought a big pile of "Mount Washmore"onto the bed to fold and DID lose my husband briefly! He was washing TV in bed 😂
I also got him folding towels and pairing socks! 👍
She got the idea from FlyLady's weekly home blessing. But this Awkward Mom is way more interesting and fun to watch! So funny!😂
I love your tidy tangos. This is exactly what I want out of a clean with me video. I feel like I'm listening to a friend while we are both cleaning.
Can I substitute the dancing for making an espresso? 😂 Thank you for posting!!!
❤
i mean your up off the couch just dont sit back down and stay there
I drank coffee and moved side to side. It's the coffee dance 😊
One of my favorite dog trainers has a saying that goes
“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good enough”
An hour long video on my big clean the house day AND the hubby took my kids to the park?! This is the best day ever 😭
EDIT: I posted this comment before realizing that this was a tidy tango, AND I had guests coming in the afternoon. When I started I was feeling like I would need at least two hours to get everything presentable, and that I wouldn't get to relax while I had the house to myself. Not only following the timed video was a great tool to move quickly, but your encouragment throughout the video to allow things to be good enough was also such a great boost! Your final comment about friends being okay with messy houses had me grateful all day for my friend who i knew wasn't going to judge the places I couldnt get to today. I had the house presentable in an hour and enjoyed eating lunch and watching TV alone. It really was such a great day! Thank you for helping me start it off right!
Your comment made me smile! Thank you for sharing your experience, I love this so much!
So refreshing to see a REAL lady managing REAL life!
Thanks for this video….especially that last part about moms just enjoying one another’s company instead of waiting till the house is spotless and you can prepare a “nice” meal. We need to support one another more, build friendships, and stop worrying about the illusion of perfection.❤️ You are wise to realize this while your children are still young:) Thank you for another great video!!
I got to 50 mins and all I managed was half the dishes and tidy kitchen surfaces. I don’t have a dishwasher and I’m cleaning following a depression flare up. But I have LOVED having you here talking to me and doing it together. It was like having a bestie on FaceTime ❤️ thank you for this
sweetie, i'm watching you wash dishes and just want to share that you are doing it the long, drawn out way. put some dish detergent in a mug with some water, swirl it around, and dip into that when the soap runs out... saves you the time of picking up and putting down the bottle over and again... try it! it's quicker!
Great tip!
Why not put water and detergent in the sink and wash there? Much easier than washing one at a time!
@@elaineboyd9575 I wash one at a time because if I put water and dish soap in in the dish pan or sink and wash them all in there, I feel like I’m washing dishes in dirty water. Which, after you wash one dish the water will be dirty. 🤷🏼♂😄
And stop the running water tap when not having anything under it.... every drop is precious
Woo! I'm totally going to do that. Thank you for the great tip!
Btw, please consider that some people are struggling just to get the dishes done at all before leaving judgemental comments.
Thank you my American friend, I’m from Russia, this is the best system I've ever seen🌸🌸🌸thanks a lot
I’m happy
i feel like instead of the couch the last task should be a shower 😂😂 I'm all sweaty now
THANK YOU so much for this video. I needed it ❤
I always do the shower last too so I can simultaneously clean myself lol
I liked your cleaning routine , made a lot of sense for the new tired mum's, or mum's with more than one child. I also liked the end message you tried to get out there before you ended, it made a lot of good sense. Well done with all this. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🌷
Perfect timing! We've had 3 viruses and strep run through our house in the last 5 weeks, this video really helped me today. I didn't think I'd be up for the whole thing, but I did it! I feel so much better, proud of myself and not overwhelmed. You were right about mopping at the end. And the dancing at the beginning. And the whole middle part too. You're the best, thank you!! ❤🤗
I love your Tidy Tangos, please don't take down your old one! I am watching you and working with A Slob Comes Clean, Dana K White, "How to Manage Your House Without Losing Your Mind". I would love to see you do a video with her, between you and Dana I am feeling some hope!!
The cats have grown so much since the last Tidy Tango! They are so helpful too😂
Right?! Sooooo helpful...
😂
That cat has a good life. 😂 Oh, there are two of them. 😂 They should help instead of getting in the way. They seem to like supervising. 😂
I have been grumbling about our sticky kitchen floors for days 😂 thanks for making me get up and actually do something about it!
Not only is this a good routine for people with kids, it helps with exhaustion and us older slower people :) Thank you for the new video- I love it :)
Dang it Ariel you’re totally right about the mopping being the frosting on the cake of cleaning. Until your tidy tango for years i had often just skipped mopping thinking that a good sweep is good enough. Nope, you’re right ya gotta do the mopping too. My home feels so much more clean. 🤪
Good Morning. I watched some of the video (this one is a little long !!) ..... I have always put on a timer to do housework. 40 minutes of house /// and 40 minutes of me. You can get a lot done in 40 minutes (or however much time you choose). I would never get to do what I want to do without my timer. My girls are adults now but when they were toddlers I would cringe if someone knocked at the door. Then I heard a sermon at church and the message was .... if you have young children at home then hour house should look like it !!!! Seeing your magnetic letters on your refrigerator made me have a flashback !!! I left the letters on the fridge and the girls would play with them (but you still have a toddler so right now is not a good time to do that !!!) Also .... I never got rid of the playpen ... that is where all of the toys went at the end of the day. And ... yes .... you are going to really, really miss your children when they are all grown up. When the time comes the best way to keep a teen's room clean is to shut the door !!!!!
I need a Get Out of Your Slump 10 hour version
If you will just start with this, and do it a couple times a week, you will make a lot of progress, which will encourage you to keep getting better.
I have a timer on my watch that I set up for times between 5-20 minutes. It has a repeat feature so when it goes off, I hit the button and it resets. I found going for 5 or 10 minutes cleaning, next 5-10 minutes on my tablet or watching TV, next timer vacuum the living room, next timer relax and then so on and so on, allows me to trick myself into getting a decent amount done. After several cycles, I see a difference and that motivates me to clean longer using back to back timers to clean and less and less relaxing.
After 3 kids I have finally let go of the idea of having a perfectly tidy/clean house, clean/tidy enough is good enough! Kids will be kids, they make messes, but that just means they are having fun! I’m done trying to have the picture perfect house, I much prefer having it “ok” and having happy playful kids. We definitely will miss the mess one day as silly as it sounds.
Chronic fatigue... if I dance for 2 minutes, I need a few hours to recover! My son and I slept in on Tuesday morning when my cleaner came round, so she left, and we have a rental inspection this week! I'll skip the tango, but I have 3 days to tick my to-do list off, and it's not much, but if I don't listen to my body, my body will force me to lay down for days!
I was commenting to my husband how I wish I could keep up with this pace but my EDS would flair up or the nerve in my arm would be on fire for 2 days if I did all of this. I'm so thankful my kids handle the dishes and floors leaving me with the ability to tackle the other stuff they aren't ready for the responsibility of doing yet. Slow and steady in our case! We can do it!
@windyloweryking1826 Oh, I wish I could, too! I have a cleaner to help with dusting, mopping, and detailed vacuuming. I've been told I'm lazy, and I wish I was just lazy, too, because I can choose not to be!
I have chronic pain and fatigue, too. Yesterday I tried this but skipping the dancing and instead listening to a song that makes me feel good. Then I did three minutes in each of the areas instead of the 10 minutes. That was a lot more manageable but I still made a lot of progress. I was able to recover with just a nap instead of a couple days of pain like I would with a lot of people's cleaning plans.
I ended up cleaning out my ovens, shining my stove top, doing 3 loads of washing, and changing the beds!
Then, I did absolutely nothing at all on Monday, I could barely get out of bed.
Worth. Every. Minute! Thank you, Ariel!
You can skip the dance or replace it with a one minute march.
I love me some tidy Tango! I wish you would make a new one each month! ❤️
I can tell you at 58 I would trade a clean house for having my son back making a mess and worrying about family dropping by. Enjoy this busy season ladies!❤
I agree 🥹😭
Always a great morning with a new That Awkward Mom video!
Any task that starts with a dance, is a terrific, tidy Tango!!
I enjoyed this very much!! Best way to clean is when you feel like you're doing it with a friend!
You could definitely be a minimalist. I have been ditching things for a while and it has made the whole house so much easier.
I love that story at the end about the two Mum's. I had a similar experience recently....
My best friend called unexpectedly to to say she was in town. My house was in a bad way. Dishes piled high, mess&clutter everywhere, I'd not vacuumed or mopped in ages....
But I realised - she is one of my best friends. I took a deep breath, and invited her round anyway. And we had the best evening together. Just before she left, she thanked me for letting her into my space just as it is. ☺️ She knows I find it hard to have people round when I've not tidied, and told me it meant a lot to her that I trusted her enough to let her in regardless. ☺️
She says when her house is messy, she no longer apologises about it. Instead she asks her guests to "please excuse the choas". I love that 💃💕
When I can, I like to have a extra special clean/tidy before I have people round - I think it helps to makes it special. But I don't always have the time or energy. I'm trying to stop embarrassment from preventing me from spending time with the people I love. 🤗🥰
I can't tell you how much I LOVE THIS, Ariel! I would love some add ons to this.. for special chores (maybe a special chores one, like cleaning out your frig... curtains and blinds... windows... retouching paint... carpet cleaning.. idk)
The way I enjoy your videos and guess what I clean more than half of my house while listening to you. And I clean kitchen and 2 bedroom and 60 minutes so I guess next day it's a less work. But we get in routine like this thanks dear you are amazing.
Thank you for getting me off my sofa! I realized in the middle that I needed to tweak it a bit and paused your video, as I needed to clwan the cat litter box before I vacuumed and you know, if you already take out the litter you can take the other trash with you as well.... and I wanted to quickly dust off the surfaces in the main living areas as well as those were quite dusty. But hey, now it's 1:22h instead of 52 minutes later and my apartment looks so good! ❤ gonna reward myself with starting a new crochet project!
I was so excited when i saw it was a longer video ❤ I do your tidy tango video multiple times a week somtimes and sing along to your songs they're soo fun!
I didn’t have a problem, stopping vacuuming, because I didn’t. I knew I wanted to mop all of my hard floors, so I vacuumed the whole house. But only with my stick vacuum, which made it go a lot faster than pulling out the larger one. But I got it all done. Thanks to you. And I think I may save this one and repeat it in five or six days. Love your spark and attitude! Thanks for the encouragement! And inspiration!
Thanks I finally vacuumed my whole living area for the first time in about a month. That was a great music selection too.!
I had the tidy tango on my to do list today. I went to find your last video about it and found the new one! Thanks! Super excited to body double and clean together again!
Great chatty video! Your videos are entertaining, provide laugher and fun, and are also relatable and motivational! Nice addition with adding trivia. Love that the the Tidy Tango starts with dance! Gina B from the channel Up to the Beat Fit has dance walk workouts which are fun! For the question about favorite weekend activities: walking/exercise, nature, baking, dancing, and family time are nice! I agree with you, I need to spend more time in nature. Diane in Denmark mentioned last Friday as one of her four self-care assignments she gives in her Friday videos to eat a meal outdoors. Your cats are cute!
I need a whole video of you hyping me up! I would listen to that on repeat!
I love how real you are!! Being 30wk pregnant and caring for my toddler I try to have my house clean everyday but I end up exhausted too! I stoped to care about having a Pinterest home after my son started walking lol I just need my home to be clean, that’s it, this will help a lot!!
10min sounds perfect for each task.
Thank you for the content 😊
I've been feeling like i was getting nowhere and it was getting me down, i did this on a whim and it had helped me so much! I feel so much better and its given me a headstart for tomorrow. Thank you so much!
You can't get ahead on cleaning. Therefore, I can't get behind on it.
You either have the time and energy to do it or you don't. You can choose to show yourself compassion along the way, or you can choose to be mean to yourself. If being mean to yourself worked, it probably would have worked by now.
Consider barriers. Then work to remove those barriers. Too much to manage? Time to go through it and give yourself permission to let some go, so you have more time. (It's all going to the landfill at some point, you've already decided that by buying it and bringing it into your house in the first place.)
Great video. One of my major takeaways was that people with cats can’t ever have a clean home. Darn cats kept jumping on everything she just cleaned. Man, they are like a cleaning arch enemy🤣
I know right! 😆
You always make me smile and chuckle. It’s nice hearing a normal woman, thank you.
I am 67 and truly enjoyed your video. I love the 10minute rule. You got a lot done in 10 minutes.
Completely forgot i get your newsletter, but just got the notification, in the moment i went back to bed after doing the dishes and deciding i did enough.
Where do you sign up for newsletter?
I need some thing like this every week. Thanks for not having the video filled with annoying music. I could only get one room vacuumed and mopped before I was just exhausted.
Even one room is great progress 😃
Thanks, Ariel! I clicked on this on this rainy Saturday in Minnesota and an hour later, my house feels (and smells!) so much better! Just in time for the sun to come out ☀️
Currently relaxing after following your whole video - I did cheat and go a bit longer pausing after some segments but plan to follow this again- you made cleaning fun (or as fun as it can be) 😂
Thank you so much for doing another one of these videos. I sooo wish I could invite people over, the state of my house used to be my main concern, but since I made the decision to have dogs, the tidyness if my house doesn't really matter bc the dogs bark continuously when anyone comes near the house. I was told dogs would make my life so much better, but the truth is, we haven't been so locked down until the dogs came along. We can't have company, we can't go anywhere for more than a few hours. We haven't been on any kind of vacation for 10 years. We had to go on a 3 day work thing for my husband's job, left the dogs with my sister in law and came back to both dogs having diarrhea and throwing up. Almost 500 dollars later, their both well again. Anyway, for anyone reading this, thanks for listening to my rant about having zero freedom and never really being able to visit with people even though through declutterring and consistency, I've finally been able to get my house under some control.
What would happen if you rehomed the dogs? Sounds like your mental health would be improved! They aren't children & could adapt to a new environment! It would be hard but might be worth it!
@@wendibollinger7647 I'm sure you're right about my mental health, my husband has suggested this, but we've had Teddy for 10 years and Poppy for 5 years, they've gotten used to each other they both have major issues. Just moving from Missouri and all that that involved, now Teddy has attachment disorder and Poppy will eat anything and everything and marks every time he gets the chance, so he lives mostly in his crate. In other words, they would be really hard to rehome. I don't know if I could live with the guilt either. It feels like a no win situation to me.
Mostly in a crate??? What the heck? What kinda life is that???
I know everyone thinks it's horrible, but it's the only option for now. His owner was going to have him put to sleep when we came along, so there's that. This dog marks everything everywhere and consumes towels,blankets, wood, paper, tape, he even ate my nail buffer. He ate the zipper on a dog bed. He feels safe in his crate. It's where he wants to be, he'll sit in our lap for a while, then get up and go in ,what I call his room, and be perfectly happy. So don't feel bad for him. His first owners kept him in a dark basement and threw food down to him.
Just remember you're important too ❤🫂
It’s Saturday and I’m cleaning. I enjoyed your two minute tango. 😊 SAHM and I homeschool all of my kids (7, 6 still at home). The kids have chores and the house gets cleaned every single day, but it’s never guest ready during the day. And of course they don’t deep clean the way I like which is why I weekly out monthly deep clean some area of the house.
This video came at the best time. I don't have kids and I don't live with anyone but having a Tidy Tango rather than a full on deep clean really takes the pressure off. Everything falls on me so being okay with good enough is a huge blessing. Thanks so much for this!! 🤎
Its awesome your cat is not scared of the vacuum.❤❤❤😊
Hubby and I are early 50's, ive been watching you for a while, kids are grown and out....my husband saw your video when i was watching and now he does the dance to get ready to help its really done wonders
Dishes, laundry, trash. If your bathroom waits a few days, or your floors need to be vacuumed, house dusted etc., it won't be the end of the world.
You're the best! I bet you make so many ladies feel like you are their best friend. Thanks for sharing!🎉😊
I love your videos! They're funny and so helpful for my ADHD brain.
Hi Ariel! Thanks so much for your note, it was such a wonderful surprise. Hope you don't mind if I drop you a line every now and then. 🥰
Unhealthy eating? I don't know what she is talking about either. Chocolate equals dopamine and serotonin which equals happiness. Happiness is the healthiest thing one can do for a great life. You go girl! You keep us happy.
One of the TH-camrs admits she hires cleaning help. Finally some honesty!
I don't care about the house but still gotta do what we gotta do right? My 3rd child has a lots of sensory issues so I want to get over the house real quick so that I can free more time to take care of him. This video is like God sent .. thanks sis you are like a friend
Thank you! I love your videos! I started doing all my daily chores, but add 1-2 things every day. Now, I'm on top of things. This seemed to have simplified it for me! 😊
Fun fact "snickers bar"
Used to be called something else in the 🇬🇧uk .... for many years, it was called a "marathon"
My Dad still calls it a marathon!! 😂 He refuses to call it a snickers 😅
Yep I won't eat "snickers"
I was a perfectionist and I've learned over the past couple years to say... it's good enough! I absolutely love it. It's funny you addressed my perfectionist to its good enough and guess what my house is still clean!
Can I just say that as much as I appreciate you introducing me to the fly lady and clean mama and the organized mom, the most powerful cleaning tips I have learned so far is from you?
Thank you for saying that ❤️
I love the tidy tango please make this in a spezial Playlist also I wish that there is a mini break bevor vakuuming and moping for a little coffee or glass of water... Thank you you are my game changer🎉😂
I got to try this as mother in law decided on surprise visit. I had one hour to fix our v e r y messy house. This method worked wonders, I even got comments on how clean the house was.
One thing, I had to add 10 minutes to clean surfaces (mainly tables and stove).
You are AMAZING!! Such enjoyable, humorous videos with brilliant cleaning hacks and astoundingly effective methodologies. I can't imaging the amount of thought and work that goes on behind the scenes but we are all so grateful. Thank you for sharing all of your talent, hard work and just plain "genius" with us. 💖
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Defender! My favorite game ever! I was a champ at the arcade. I'm gonna dance it up before cleaning from now on. 🌻🍄
I needed this today. I have been procrastinating so much but today I got 'er done! Thank you!! ❤I did terrible on the trivia but I learned something so it is a good day!! Your kitty supervising your vacuuming from the table 😆😍 I love the tidy tango, it helps so much!! My home looks great!! Ice cream is the best!!😋 I hope you and your family have a blessed rest of your weekend!!
I have a two month old baby and I have a newer friend coming over tomorrow morning. I just did this and my house feels so much better! I’m much less stressed now. Thank you for the body double. 10 minutes on each task is achievable! You can do this! Very motivating
Great job!!! ❤️
I love this! I have almost no energy, and as able to follow along for a whole 45 minutes! I managed to vacuum and mop in the vacuum time. Thank you for your inspiration and I look forward to many more of these clean-alongs!
This was just what we needed after getting home from a small trip and getting sick my house was a disaster-I put this on and my girls and I worked with you and got the house in shape!! We loved the ice cream video at the end, you and your hubby are my most favorite TH-cam couple!!! We watched it twice and my girls asked to watch it again today haha! I think I have heard you say before you live in NY, I am from Watkins Glen and grew up involved in FLM which Ive seen you wear their t-shirt! I now live in Indiana, but I still have my up state NY devotion to ice cream (and pizza😊). I have a feeling if we still lived in NY you and I would be friends, we share the same sense of humor haha!! 😂😂😂
This is going at the top of my “clean with me” playlist. You’re so entertaining!
So thankful for another tidy tango video, I loved the first one and it actually worked!!!
Oh my goodness!! Thank gou for speaking the truth! I live in fear of an unexpected visitor. My house is horrible...My kids want to have friends over, but im so ashamed of the state of my house.😢
It’s stupid how helpful this was to me 🤣 I put you on, popped in my ear buds and just cleaned each area along with you as i listened. My house is a wreck 🤦🏼♀️ I am beyond blessed that I have almost 4,000 sq feet and 4 bathrooms to clean so I didn’t get even close to be “done” but this one power hour body doubling alongside you actually helped me break through and get going. Thanks for your honesty
Good enough is good enough for me!
I've fallen extremely behind on keeping up with cleaning. The 10min Tidy did not clear up the floors enough. But, still did some vacuuming -- definately not all of it since most the floors aren't all tidied up, but did what clear open areas I could. Will have to do more again later for tidying and cleaning the floor, but it's a good enough start to get back on track in our chaotic season of life. My kids are practically a tornado lol.
I just subscribed. And I will tell you that I have watched about 30 cleaning videos, all while in "stun mode" (I like to call it). It's sort of a depressed, shocked, unmovable state I found myself in. For whatever reason, and magic you have within you, you got me! I've started! I got UP! OMG! I can't help it, but I am tearing up a bit. I am just back from the bathroom and SO hopeful. Thank you for being you and doing things just as you feel them and not changing for anyone! I really appreciate you! XOXO Oh! PS, edited to add, your cat(s) own you, clearly. So does mine. LOL!
Amazing! Just amazing! So proud of you for doing it and thank you for sharing it with me and making me smile ❤️ welcome!
I didnt know this wasa clean with me at start. I was just sitting on counch and thought oh a new video. Then saw was nearly an hour. Thought will see what it's about, not intending to do any of it. Just more of a nosey. Then found myself dancing and thought why not... maybe as you told us all to stand and I couldn't help it.... then found myself tidying. Then found I did whole video.
I've still got a lot to do (as motivation went out the window for awhile)
But it has given me a kick start needed. Its certainly better than it was an hour ago
Im kinda hoping one day you'll do your own little full program of stuff. Your kwn webpage or app etc. Like what do you do on a daily. Do you do different rooms per day etc the best of all the cleaning things you've tried. ❤😊
I need a new mop.lol. I got it all done, except I didn’t finish mopping. But it’s good enuf!
Thanks for getting my house clean-er.😁
I've just found this video while 38 weeks pregnant, struggling to finish a paper for University, overwhelmed by all the mess I am still yet to clean in the house... I needed your motivation. You make me feel a lot more normal about not having my house perfect. So now, I'm going to do my best to finish my paper and later in the day, I'm going to play this video to do some cleaning alongside you. Thank you!
Ariel. It’s the best system 🙌🏻🙌🏻 please make a video with other rooms, for example a children's room or how you sort things out after washing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I did it!Almost...A guest showed up right after I finished vacuuming 😅 Love your content! ❤ Greetings from Hungary
It's thanks to you that I was turned on to the fly-lady. I have her phone app checklist. I can manage the daily swish and swipe, unloading the dishwasher, and the daily load of wash. It's just that the weekly home blessing leaves me totally drained afterwards. I find that I have to do a little bit of the weekly blessing all week long rather than all at once.
The app is fantastic and I love that it’s free, lol.
You’re probably still doing too much per room. Stick to the amount that is comfortable. Let go of your ambitiousness. I don’t know, your problem could be something else.
Amazing! I feel so accomplished! I deep clean the bathroom while I had my older child vacuum two tasks at once hooray🎉 I appreciate this so much! I hope you have a blessed week🌸☀️
This is so true!!!! I let go and my house is cleaner now then when I would power clean and wear myself out
I enjoy watching your videos!
