    Becky, I just want to thank you for your optimism and enthusiasm. I am 70 years old. But I do a lot of the things you do. Garden, can, cook from scratch, etc. My husband had a stroke 4 years ago. He always helped when I had projects, but now I do it all. I had gotten a bit depressed over the cooking and cleaning. I also have to take care of him. But today you lifted my spirits. I will try to look at cleaning the kitchen in a brighter light. Thank you so much!! Many blessings. 😊 love to watch you, you have definitely inspired me to do more. Thank you!! Sandi

    Becky I just wanted to let you know that storing your sweet potatoes or regular potatoes near any onion and garlic promulgates a much quicker sprouting of your potatoes. This is because of gases called ethylene gas which onions and garlic releases. It can be in the same room but I put them at polar opposites. If you’ve ever wondered why your potatoes are sprouting quicker than you’d like it could be garlic and onions that are suspect!

      I have to have mine in my fridge, but by coincidence I’ve always had them in separate drawers, good for me, I guess… Last year I had a real long time where I didn’t use any potatoes (had a long pasta&rice period) and just left them there, I guess. So right before Christmas, I was going to clear & clean the fridge and toss the potatoes out because they were so old, several months old. When I took them out, I was shocked, I never in my life experienced anything like that. They didn’t only sprout, they had a gazillion itty, bitty potatoes growing on the sprouts! Like a little miracle going on there in my fridge! My jaw must have reached my chest, LOL… I had to just throw them out, but I regretted it sooo badly afterwards, I should have put them in a dark plastic bin and put them out on the balcony, maybe even thrown some soil on them and seen when summer came if I had got usable potatoes from those little «potato babies»… ☺️💚💓💚

    Hey Becky! I came home from teaching today and realized I hadn’t pulled anything out for dinner! I almost panicked; however, because of you I bought a whole pork loin at Costco, cut it up, put in jars, and added seasonings (ranch and Taco), filled with pork broth, then pressure canned! So - I cleaned out the fridge for veggies and starch then added the taco seasoned pork I had canned! It’s a delicious goulash! I think I’ll scramble some eggs and make up a breakfast casserole for the weekend!
    This is just one time I’ve been grateful for you and your channel. I would never had started canning if it weren’t for you!

He so brought that up when I changed my mind. I just want to provide the best for my little family.

      I just started watching this video today. Becky inspires me to try New Dishes, Encourages me to stay on top of getting my veggies from the Garden..preserved for the Winter. My Children are 23,21,16&15. I wish what I know now about cooking from scratch, Baking and Preserving Food, I would of know before I had babies. So I would have had a bunch of meals all made up. Thankful for what My Mother in Law taught me when they were little about cooking!😇 It is a Joy to teach My Daughters what I was taught/I know. The Lord calls us Women/Mama’s to keep us House, to Teach Our Children, Prepare Meals for Family. I also Believe Us Women are to Do SelfCare…Light a Candle as Cook and Clean, Sit with a Great Cup of Coffee or Tea and have some Relaxing Quiet Time with Jesus and Nice Soft Blanket, Take a Nice Warm Relaxing Bath, Go for a Refreshing Walk.

    Tip-the mop container that appears to be not refillable...put the empty container upside down in a container of very hot water for about 10 minutes, twist the top off while it's hot. This will break the seal, fill with whatever cleaner you want and screw back on. There is a video on TH-cam that shows how to do it. Happy cleaning.

    Being able to do some cleaning and organizing does wonders for a person's mental health. Wonderful idea to set a timer when you're doing a project that has the potential to be overwhelming! I do that sometimes, and glad I am not the only one. Also a great thing to periodically clean as you go, which really does help! Cannot count the number of times I've been too tired to wash supper dishes and felt genuinely like I didn't want to actually use the kitchen again until it was cleaned up! Great ideas all around.

      Yes! Same here. And sometimes Apple. I still make it once in awhile since I now care for my mom. And, she, always lights up when she sees it on her plate. Adding chopped walnuts or pecans is nice too.

    Love the 15 minute cleaning burst method! Sometimes tasks seem harder to me than they will be but if i can decide to give myself 15 minutes, i can make a serious dent in the work. Excellent progress on the pantry, Becky!

    You can make your own "Swiffer" refill to add to your old on and cut the hole to add your own refill. Depending on your model, you'll have to Google it. Also, I know you like to keep things out of the landfill, you can make your own Swiffer sheets. I make them for our older model. Some I cut from the backs of hubs old undershirts, I've also crocheted some and using micro cloths from the Dollar Tree auto area. So glad you are pacing yourself and realizing "bite-sized" pieces is progress. HUGS!

      I buy the set of 18 white washcloths from Walmart and use them for Swiffer pads. I kept a refill pad box and in it I make a mix of equal parts water and white vinegar, to which I add a capful of Fabuloso because lordy I love the lavender scent of it. I just dip the washcloth in the cleaner, wring out the extra solution, then attach the damp washcloth to my Swiffer. What I especially like is that I can have the washcloth very wet if I want to really "scrub" the floor, and have it dryer if I'm just doing a quick refresh. After I've gone through my stack of washcloths, I run them through the washer with some bleach and they're ready to go again.

When the food was cooling I swept the floors and straightened out a few cupboards. I accomplished a lot in a short period of time and thought of you. Thank you! ❤️

    Good morning Becky, hope you are well. I usually make dinner along with breakfast. This means I only have to clean the kitchen once. 😊 Becky in the evening before going to bed I do a 15 min.straighten. This helps so very much with keeping a tidy house. If I have a kitchen or closet etc. project ,the rest of the house is still neat. ❤ Great job today. 😊 I am like Josh please don’t touch my cleaning things😂😂😂. My husband never wash’s out the mop head or empties the vacuum. So he has his own shop vac. Industrial Mop etc. 😊 This situation makes for a happier wife happy life.😂😂😂😂 Becky you know you are a house wife when a new mop brings you joy. 😂 Yay , I got a new cookie scoop today and I almost did a happy dance right there in the middle of the store. LOL 😂😂Until next time Great video.❤

She doesn’t have much more than a month left before the baby comes (can’t remember exactly, but around the start of December, I thought) - if I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t have believed it… Amazing! 👏👏👏🤗💓❤️💓

    My husband bought me some of the ball dissolvable labels to try. I have been using them ever since. I stock pile them. It is nice to have a label on the fronts of your jars so that you can see at a glance what you have. I also date the label and that helps me use the oldest first. You could use any label, but having the ones that dissolve makes cleaning them easy.
