i created a toy library out of my daughters closet. it has the same rules as a library. my daughter is only allowed to take out 2 small sets of toys or 1 large set. it helps me not to have to pick up a ton of toys. of course when friends come over it gets messy. even then it helps keep the mess down. also it makes it easier for my daughter to find toys she wants to play with. the tubs a clear containers so everything is easy for her to see them. she even picks the toys up when she wants to change the sets out. i have seen people make toy libraries out of cabinets, freestanding wardrobe. there is so many options
I wish those days back when my boy was playing with toys. He’s now 25 & in college. And no kidding….just get started, it’s the only way to get it done!
I'm watching this while my kids have football practice. My littlest one and I are hanging out in the car. I'm making my to do list for when I get home. As a single mom of 4 boys who works full-time at a nursing home the struggle is real!
Yes Mama! Yes! Its real and we sre all here for eachother for moral support! To do list are the best! I love having that thinking time to just plan my days. If only theybwould go as planned. Lol!♡
I also raised my 5 children alone and worked full time. All of my children were educated, from an early age, to play and then put away their toys when they finished using them. We need to teach responsibility from an early age. Life demands responsibility, transmitting this to the children is our duty as a mother. Nobody left toys around the house.
I love how real you are! Dont ever be embarrassed of sharing your messy lives some are messier then others! I am I was a hording show I had so much loss in my life from rape to losing my 18 yr old son to suicide and my brother being murdered I stopped living! Stopped caring and stoped cleaning I wanted to not be here anymore! Then one day I was sitting on a bench and a old lady came up to me and prayed for me I looked around didn't see anyone! I was going to go into the river to end my pain! God had other plans I felt this peace swoop over me and I felt better decided to go home and try I managed after 6 months to get my life back on track ! I cleaned decluttered moved toxic people out even family and lost over 80 lbs became healthy mentally physically and emotionally 🙏 you are an inspiration to others thank you 💕 keep going others need you! 🙏❤️ God bless you love from Canada ❤️ now work with homeless people and realized this was gods plan 🙏
I seriously needed this inspiration. My brain is always in overload with school, family life, being a mom and wife. Thank you for being real. Watching someone else go through similar events such as cleaning the house motivates me!!
The best thing I did was move all my daughter’s toys to her room. I organised her room so everything had it’s place. I didn’t stress if she brought toys into the living room during the day, I mean this is her home as well, but at the end of the day I had a large basket which I used to pick everything up to put back into her room. This allowed a clean, tidy living room in the evenings where we could snuggle up together and watch a movie or read a book together. It reduced my stress significantly and my quality of time with my daughter improved significantly.
I am absolutely loving your channel! It has helped me so much. I have bipolar, depression, anxiety, OCD, & PTSD. I have 3 kids and sometimes my house just gets out of hand. Thanks for all the motivation
Hi Laura, lovely to see you again. I, too, suffer from anxiety and depression, and find it really hard to get off the couch, let alone be motivated to do anything. I know it will click eventually but, in the meantime, I feel reassured by watching your channel and listening to your words of wisdom. Take care and stay safe and well. With love and best wishes from Di (from Down Under). 😘💕🇦🇺
I live in a very small house and have three grandchildren visiting all the time ages 6,3,18 months, for their toys I have a blanket box that goes with my family room and its surprising how many toys you can fit in it. have you ever thought of one of those as also its quick to tidy away. I am very motivated to do other rooms now. thanks.
I had a friend give me advice that helped me with not getting rid of toys. She rotates toys out every couple months. That "declutters" without getting rid of the supply. She had a few storage boxes that she rotates out. That keeps the toys engaging because they always seem new to the kiddos!
Hey Mighty Mamas! I hope this video helps to motivate you to clean your house or get one step ahead of the mess so you feel better! I know it can be challenging with all the other things going on but remember if I can do this so can you! Always here for yas! Love ya & Stay Mighty! xo
Hi new sub... I really enjoying your video. I felt you when you was talking bout how son your be playing with a lot of toys. My little ones loves to play with their toys when they see it organized then I'm back to square one plus still got to clean what I didn't get to. My oldest one has autism and do not want to let anything go so this was very motivating... God bless everyone. Thanks!
I love watching your videos, they are very motivating! What is the brand of washing machine you have in kitchen and where can it be purchased? Thank you❣
Oh that's good if you find things to donate that's always good I was going to say when when my kids were little and my friend's kids were little it's like we would separate because I had so many too and so we would separate a pile like even three piles and put everything together what goes with what and then put them away where he doesn't see them and then switch out cuz then it brings back Joy again of what he has so I mean it works instead of having it all together so you got to clean up it all of it I just thought I would throw that out there see you!!
Even in fast motion, it seems obvious you are being quite decisive! What a gift that is in sorting, de-cluttering and organizing! Appreciate this quality and respect the discipline behind it. nice job!
I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I hope you never stop making videos. You motivated me to do projects I’ve been avoiding for forever. Thank you❤️
Cleaned my fridge, pantry, closet, dresser, all my makeup and skincare, dusted, did dishes and laundry while watching your videos today. Feeling great 🤗
I'm watching my YT tonight after knocking out some stuff today. Girlfriend.....I knocked out the laundry, vacuumed, mopped, changed lights, fixed three DIY things, and made dinner. Yes ma'am. Got it done today. And now I'm fricking sore (I suffer from low back disc disease). I take my blessed days and move my butt. My ouch days, I don't move. I'm hoping tomorrow I can try doing my lawn. Hard tho as we are in SC and it's still quite humid. ❤️❤️
Woo! Hoo! You kicked butt! I k ow what ya mean with that back pain. I started to have low back pain about 2 months ago. Ive had a few episodes where I couldnt even get out of bed and stand up. It freaked me out. Also, where its excruciating to cough or sneeze. I have no clue why or what thats about. I am still nursing and in my 40s so I am worried that I am calcium defiicent and its affecting my bones. I thought I was gonna die the one day and it flared up my sciatica so bad. I went through two days of that and was down! Then after up'ing my vitamins I felt no pain since. So weird! Anyway, way to get it done and yes take advantage on those good health days and when you are down you can chill and enjoy your hard work! Thanks for being here!♡
Listening to this while I clean. I am finally tackling my studio apartment that I didn't clean in two months (due to anxiety, lots of work while changing jobs -75hour workweek). Now with a bad headache I put on a load of laundry, cleaned and tidied where I have to keep my recycling and started on the dishes). I'd like to order pizza tonight as a reward but I have to go on and clean more ☺️
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so motivational. I suffer quite badly from lack of motivation and my house is almost always a mess. Im lucky to manage an hour of cleaning a day, if I do that at all. Most of the time, it's the bare minumum of feeding my 2 boys bathing them and diffusing any fights. Thanks to your videos, I've managed to clean for a total of about 4 hours today. I still have quite a lot to do tomorrow but I am impressed with myself.
I loved watching this after my daughter went to bed. I picked up the living room & tried to use what I had for storage. Enter the removed side panel of her crib turned into a makeshift ladder blanket storage. Thanks!!
I love watching you're video's as I clean my apt. I struggle with staying on task because I'm a scatter brain. You're doing a great job and love your channel.
As I watched you sort and re-organize the living room, I found I was anticipating most of the changes you made as you eyed the shelves and filled containers! It is really nice to see your decision-making and creativity in action as you work. When you changed what you had planned to adjust to the bulk of toys or objects and to manipulate what was grouped on the shelves or inside the same basket/container, the result was a better outcome! Good eye!
I watch many different cleaning videos but the settings are usually much more elaborate than my humble abode. I appreciate seeing a household which resembles my home and a lifestyle closer to mine as well. This is not to say anything negative about either situation but just that I can relate to people who have budgets and time crunches and cannot buy unlimited products and tools. Thank you for opening your home as it gives me more hope!
I just found your channel. You are the first cleaning channel where your house messes are SO similar to mine! I also have anxiety and depression and kids and this is amazingly relatable!
absolutely love your channel. thank you for being vulnerable every time you upload. just to let you know a house does not have to have to look picture perfect you are doing great! you have mismatch baskets, which I think is better than everything looking the same. i personally like it because it gives the space more character. when a home is cleaned with love it is going to look amazing no matter what.
Speaking of toys, I used to put half my son’s toys away for 6 months and then got them out and put the other half away. Until he was 4, he thought he had all new toys every 6 months. It was great, and easier on my pocket.
Thank you for showing us your clean up I cleaned all day 9 + hours today thanks to your motivation!!!! Most of the time people‘s house is already clean you are showing true life of lived in and I appreciate you good job!!!!!
I don't have kids so I don't have that added stress! But I run to businesses and have severe anxiety and depression and it's really hard to get motivated! I'm glad I found you you have giving me some inspiration thank you! It's nice to know that there are other people out there that struggle with this on a daily basis and can push through it to get it done!
Laura, we are here for YOU TOO! Do t be embarrassed or ashamed of your room. We’ve all been there. This is a judge free zone. Cleaning your home for us on camera could help someone else going through what we do. So show us! Also, have you ever considered paper plates and paper cups for the kids? It’s a lot easier to keep up with the kitchen if you can just through away the plates sometimes.
Hi Cheryl and thank you so much! You always know how to make me feel better about myself! I appreciate you being honest and kind to me. And yes we do paper plates! I am definitely a paper plate mom over here! lol! The problem is we run out sometimes! lol !Have a great weekend! Stay Mighty! xo
Hello, I love your videos, you work so hard. Thank you for getting me motivated to cleaning and decluttering again. I am still in recovery and healing myself. I nearly died last year. I have Widespread bilateral acute saddle pulmonary embolism and DVT with right heart strain still healing and I suffer from anxiety and depression because of it. I have found me again and started getting back to myself. May this continue so 🙏 thank you for your videos and keep it going xx
Wow the motivation from your video is exactly what I needed! We just moved into our first home and with boxes and projects and renovations going on I have fell behind and have been feeling so unmotivated and defeated and now this is exactly what I needed! Putting your videos on the TV and not making anymore excuses! Thank you.
Toys are a must in my house as well. We have 2 playrooms one upstairs and another downstairs. Toys over technology, I’ll take the creative mess over the mental numbness any day of the week and developmental stage of my children.
You have mentioned in several videos that some say you talk too much throughout your videos. I full heartedly disagree! I love that you talk and i love the amount that you talk! It's like having a friend in the kitchen with me while I'm loading the dishwasher. Or in the laundry room while I'm swapping loads. If all I wanted was to listen to music, I would do that. But I thrive on the listening to an adult talk and the subject matter speaks to me. I even find myself talking back out loud. So thank you for audibly reminding me that if I can't finish something, that's not a reason to not to start it. One more than a handful of occasions, when the kiddos interrupt me, I hear your voice telling me it's okay. And it helps me realign my priorities in that moment. When the babies need me, it's okay to let the dishes go... for now. And come back to it later.
This is the first account I’ve come across that I genuinely relate to as a mother of 3 boys , ( 6m, 3 years & 5 ) my mind is always in constant overload!
I am so sorry to hear that Deanna. I am praying you to keep improving and I hope I can get you do one thing each day! That is win for both of us! Stay Mighty! xo
its so sad that most content creators feel the need to explain why they have what they have in their homes. We're just hear to watch you clean, not judge you! I enjoy your vids!
I love how you organized your fridge! Gave me some good ideas😊. Recently found your channel and am loving it! I’m a single mom struggling with anxiety, depression and menopause….ugh😞. Also working towards minimalism. If you ever decide to expand your content, would love to see an exercise/workout with me video! Another thing I’m struggling with😬 Happy Friday🥰
Well done, Laura! That was a massive job but you really got it done. I absolutely agree that a few minutes is all you need to get going. Once you have that momentum it’s hard to stop! My soon to be seven year old says the same: “It always seems like the most boring thing ever to tidy up but once I do it it’s usually quite fun!” ❤️
Keep pushing through… I’m a professional organizer and a minimalist sometimes you just have to clean while depressed even if you can’t lift your head off the pillow because seeing a clear a space equals a clear mind… if you have 100 toys you have to pick up 100 toys if you have 100 shirts you have to wash 100 shirts if you have 100 blankets you have to manage 100 blankets… The less you have is the less you have to manage
I don't know if this helps but I'll share anyway in case it helps someone. I used to have the same struggles with laundry. I hated putting it away. After self analyzing I realized that the reason I hated folding and putting away was because my closets and dressers were over filled. I decluttered and folded everything Marie Kondo style(ish) and now I don't seem to mind laundry as much. I still struggle with it sometimes but not nearly as much as before. I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.
I really liked it when you said motivation is within you and to think about making good choices... So true and it helps me stay away from self-pity and martyrdom! Wise!
Thank you for this as a full time working pregnant mom with my 3rd child with 2 toddler 1& 3 I haven't been motivated to get up and clean do laundry I'm so tired and I do suffer from depression and anxiety so it makes it even worse I think about and see what I need to do everyday but it's so hard and I want to get up and get so tired of my home being messy but u gave me the motivation to get up at 11:39pm and clean thank you so much ❣ great job keep it up us mommies need these videos
Hello NeaNicholl! Yes girl! I am so proud of you for getting up even at night and just doing the thang! Sometimes thats whatbwe gotta do is pull an all nighter to clean the house. Been there many times before. Now just to keep up after is the challenging part. Just remember what you just cleaned and remind yourself its much easier to do 2 dishes then 20 and toss a couple plates of food then an entire stacked counters worth.and wipe a spill inmediately instead of scrubbing a stain. I try to live by this quote "a little cleaning each daybkeeps the stress mess away!"🤎 Also, allow yourself grace. You have a lot on your plate and once the kids are bigger they can help you and it wont alway be like this! Day by day Mama! Stay Mighty & God bless! I will keep you in my prayers!🙏💪✝️🤎
I needed this so badly today. I've had 0 motivation to get up and clean and it's been a revolving door of shame and beating myself up. Liked, subscribed, and starting my all day clean up this very moment. God bless lovely
Hoping you can get a washer soon. We got a used one off marketplace and that was a huge money saver things are so expensive. Enjoy your vacation soon!!
I so love your videos as I suffer depression and anxiety and sad and also OCD and today iam felling so low and ma house is in such a mess and just dont know where too start and I just fell I go round in circles as ma kids just loves everything behind them so I find it so overwhelming as I like ma house clean and tidy but it never stays that way ... so watching your videos helps me so thank you i so can do with a friend like you
After seeing your couch issues, I have to tell you about my last couch! It was so worn that holes developed and some small person caught his foot in the hole and it ripped into a much larger hole! We couldn't afford to replace so I matched the color as closely as I could with duct tape and made a seal of sorts which was smooth to discourage any further "foot accidents"..... Then I bought an inexpensive throw and a pillow to put over it to camouflage. I felt very satisfied to know others have done similar things. thank you
This looks unreal to me. I wouldn’t be able to clean all of that in one day. If you’re able to do this cleaning in one day, I admire you. 😊. I have to pick a day to clean certain things. For example, I just focus on one thing. Like today all I’m doing is cooking and clean the refrigerator. I’m doing one thing at a time. I blame it on my depression. I can sleep for days and not clean at all. I” ll probably do dishes and cooking but that’s about it. I’m watching this videos to get motivated. Thanks for sharing.
I have been practicing minimalism four years. I cringe to think I was once where you are now. It was so time-consuming and exhausting I did 5 minutes of cleaning this morning and I'm headed out for a hike lol. New subsciber ❤️ I watched a minimalist toy video where you put the toys in containers store them up and bring one tote out at a time shoe box size tote. This works perfect if you have a hard time really downsizing. I did start minimalist journey because of anxiety and it has helped so so much I practically decluttered it away lol
Just a thought, have you considered a toy rotation? It was a game changer for me. That way you keep all the toys that are loved and get played with they're just not all out at the same time. Whenever I rotate the toys my kids get so excited to have "new toys." I don't follow a schedule or anything, I just rotate toys when I start to notice the toys that are out aren't getting played with as much or my kids start acting bored, usually takes several weeks to get to that point.
Hi Amanda! I have heard of this but never tried. I am going to be doing a room makeover for the two kids that will share and so after my toy declutter video maybe I can create a rotation for the toys that are left over (if there are any extra). lol I love your idea! Thanks so much! xo
I’m not sure if this is relevant (don’t have kids) but I do the toy rotation with my cats, and it’s always a hit. Toys are expensive for kids and cats!
I really liked the songs you put in between talking. Your videos are so cool because they are relatable and very real. I’m also on the minimalist journey and have made lots of progress. However, I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock after starting school again and after my child’s birthday. Although, I had a much smaller birthday party than in the past he still got a lot of gifts 90 percent of which he loved, but that meant things looked crowded again and the floor was chaos after his play. I went in and cleaned his room after about four stressful days of his room just being a pile. I was able to declutter things I had struggled with in the past with his help. I still have what I consider too much stuff and my goal is for it to look more of a bare look all around my home, but it just doesn’t seem totally practical for the season of life I am in right now. I really like extreme decluttering, but the more I declutter each time I do it feels like I get rid of less and less and it’s not as satisfying as when I get rid of a TON of stuff. I’m still excited though and can’t wait to be at a place where It’s more manageable.
Hey Marisol! Omgoodness! Gifts are the culprit of our hoard! The families spoil my kids and its gotten to the point I have actually asked them not to buy gifts. Lol! I really dont think my kids need all of it to be honest. And then it just overloads me so I can totally relate. And I also find extreme declutters to work better for me to. I like to really feel as if I am decluttering. Thank you for being here and I pray you are able to tsckle the clutter once again. You have come so far. Be proud! Stay Mighty!♡
How do y’all do these??? By the time I get home from work and getting the kids I’m so exhausted and overwhelmed I’m unable to get anything done. What I do get done it’s not enough to tell I’ve done anything. Then it’s time for supper, baths & bed 😭
You are awesome!! An idea for you - have the kids help more. My kids loved helping mama. (They still do!) Only thing to remember - it may not be the exact way you like it done, but they feel so happy helping mama.
i would be cleaning my vac cleaner just broke on me and it won't pick up crumbs and it stopped working , you can try Fred Meyers might have some wicker baskets or thrive market might have some as well
When my kids were little and their toys became health hazards( hazard to my health from falling over them😂). I got the black garbage bags and put them away. I limited the amount they had out…when they got bored with the toys they chose to keep out, they would be able to trade them out. It was almost like a little shopping trip for them. They had forgotten about some of them and the excitement when they saw it/them was neat to see. It taught them to take care of what they had and they were rewarded when they kept their toys in order. I also gave them their own “real estate “… which was their bedroom 😁 They could keep it the way they wanted( within reason) as long as the clutter did not trickle into the rest of the house. It was neat to see how they treated their stuff. They had to clean it weekly( their ages at the time were 12,7,6 they are now 26,21 and 20) putting that on them made them realize the messier the room the longer it took…my youngest was and still the worse at keeping her spaces clean😂
do you have any suggestions for those of us who have disablilities? i am almost 60 but i am plagued with a multidude of issues including all over body pain and getting on the floor is not possible or climbing on a step to reach things, even just standing and walking around for me at times is a nightmare thanks in advance for your help.
Thank you Mary! I appreciate you being here so much! You go girl! Get it done and feel that sense of accomplishment for having your "ish" together before the big feast. Then you can enjoy the holiday realaxing and having fun with your family! And most importanly have the clarity mentally to sit in your gratefulness for the day! Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!🦃🙏💪🦋🤎
If you don't want to get rid of toys consider a toy rotation. You can pack some up and rotate them out. It will be less overwhelming to maintain and you won't have to rebuy
First time watching and think it's so refreshing you don't use your kids in vlogs, I totally agree with you about their privacy. Also you did a great job and I love the message behind it re mental health. Good job Mama 👏 😊
Thanks so much I'm a newbie to your channel and you've inspired me so much I suffer with depression. Your video gave me so much hope ! ❤ I love your washer where did you get it? I live in an apartment and this would be awesome.
Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you have too many toys. Kids plus toys = fun and happy. They will grow out of them in time, let them have the toys.
Hello new to your channel it's nice to know that there's someone else struggling with anxiety and depression my house suffers because of mine by the way where are you from I'm from Kentucky any way thanks for your channel and keeping it real
I watch a lot of videos to get inspired to clean my own house. I encourage you to wear running tennis shoes when you are cleaning for better foot support. Your feet will thank you later. Cleaning a house is like a work out. You did a good job. I hope you get to de clutter your house soon. I have let go of so much stuff and It has help me get rid of a lot of negativity on a personal level as well.
Looks like your doing well and were about to make a family recipe book, don't mind some of the hello fresh recipes but not something I use more than once a year. But the recipe book is for my partner to help pick the menu for the week and cook meals too 😃 The toys mass I can understand, I am slowly decluttering toys still but gave a couple to my oldest with lockdown since there stem activities. But it's easy to pick which toys leave the house because there usually broken since his so rough sometimes, but we work with it.
It worked. I watched the first couple minutes and then started to tidy. I ended up not watching but just listened to you. 30 minutes later its already so much better. Thank you. Is there a way to know the music songs you used?
Yay! This makes me so happy Stephanie and why I come back here! Happy to help you today! Cleaning a small mess esch day keeps the big mess away! Stay Mighty!💪🙏🦋🤎

I wish those days back when my boy was playing with toys. He’s now 25 & in college. And no kidding….just get started, it’s the only way to get it done!
I'm watching this while my kids have football practice. My littlest one and I are hanging out in the car. I'm making my to do list for when I get home. As a single mom of 4 boys who works full-time at a nursing home the struggle is real!
Yes Mama! Yes! Its real and we sre all here for eachother for moral support! To do list are the best! I love having that thinking time to just plan my days. If only theybwould go as planned. Lol!♡
Бог вам в помощь 🙏
I also raised my 5 children alone and worked full time. All of my children were educated, from an early age, to play and then put away their toys when they finished using them.

Hi Laura, lovely to see you again. I, too, suffer from anxiety and depression, and find it really hard to get off the couch, let alone be motivated to do anything. I know it will click eventually but, in the meantime, I feel reassured by watching your channel and listening to your words of wisdom. Take care and stay safe and well.

I just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I hope you never stop making videos. You motivated me to do projects I’ve been avoiding for forever. Thank you❤️
Your goal to minimalism is perfect. I am on the same journey, but the more I declutter, the better I feel. God give you strength.
Cleaned my fridge, pantry, closet, dresser, all my makeup and skincare, dusted, did dishes and laundry while watching your videos today. Feeling great 🤗
I'm watching my YT tonight after knocking out some stuff today. Girlfriend.....I knocked out the laundry, vacuumed, mopped, changed lights, fixed three DIY things, and made dinner. Yes ma'am. Got it done today. And now I'm fricking sore (I suffer from low back disc disease). I take my blessed days and move my butt. My ouch days, I don't move. I'm hoping tomorrow I can try doing my lawn. Hard tho as we are in SC and it's still quite humid. ❤️❤️
Woo! Hoo! You kicked butt! I k ow what ya mean with that back pain. I started to have low back pain about 2 months ago. Ive had a few episodes where I couldnt even get out of bed and stand up. It freaked me out. Also, where its excruciating to cough or sneeze. I have no clue why or what thats about. I am still nursing and in my 40s so I am worried that I am calcium defiicent and its affecting my bones. I thought I was gonna die the one day and it flared up my sciatica so bad. I went through two days of that and was down! Then after up'ing my vitamins I felt no pain since. So weird! Anyway, way to get it done and yes take advantage on those good health days and when you are down you can chill and enjoy your hard work! Thanks for being here!♡
Great tip: get a long-handled janitorial brush and dustpan to sweep up the small toys. It's a wonder for blocks, legos, etc.
Listening to this while I clean. I am finally tackling my studio apartment that I didn't clean in two months (due to anxiety, lots of work while changing jobs -75hour workweek). Now with a bad headache I put on a load of laundry, cleaned and tidied where I have to keep my recycling and started on the dishes). I'd like to order pizza tonight as a reward but I have to go on and clean more ☺️
Thank you so much for your videos. They are so motivational. I suffer quite badly from lack of motivation and my house is almost always a mess. Im lucky to manage an hour of cleaning a day, if I do that at all. Most of the time, it's the bare minumum of feeding my 2 boys bathing them and diffusing any fights. Thanks to your videos, I've managed to clean for a total of about 4 hours today. I still have quite a lot to do tomorrow but I am impressed with myself.
I loved watching this after my daughter went to bed. I picked up the living room & tried to use what I had for storage. Enter the removed side panel of her crib turned into a makeshift ladder blanket storage. Thanks!!
I love watching you're video's as I clean my apt. I struggle with staying on task because I'm a scatter brain. You're doing a great job and love your channel.
As I watched you sort and re-organize the living room, I found I was anticipating most of the changes you made as you eyed the shelves and filled containers! It is really nice to see your decision-making and creativity in action as you work. When you changed what you had planned to adjust to the bulk of toys or objects and to manipulate what was grouped on the shelves or inside the same basket/container, the result was a better outcome! Good eye!
I watch many different cleaning videos but the settings are usually much more elaborate than my humble abode. I appreciate seeing a household which resembles my home and a lifestyle closer to mine as well. This is not to say anything negative about either situation but just that I can relate to people who have budgets and time crunches and cannot buy unlimited products and tools. Thank you for opening your home as it gives me more hope!
I just found your channel. You are the first cleaning channel where your house messes are SO similar to mine! I also have anxiety and depression and kids and this is amazingly relatable!
I have 4 years apart and 4 kids. 14,10,7 and 3 😅 and just now going true a divorce and moving in 3 weeks! I need you in my life now ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate your videos you definitely help me get going I'm a stay at home mom of 3 and I'm so overwhelmed.
absolutely love your channel. thank you for being vulnerable every time you upload. just to let you know a house does not have to have to look picture perfect you are doing great! you have mismatch baskets, which I think is better than everything looking the same. i personally like it because it gives the space more character. when a home is cleaned with love it is going to look amazing no matter what.
So happy to see we are not the only ones with a bunch of blankets in our living room!
Speaking of toys, I used to put half my son’s toys away for 6 months and then got them out and put the other half away. Until he was 4, he thought he had all new toys every 6 months. It was great, and easier on my pocket.
I love the rug in the middle of your kitchen- looks like a dark sisal... in the shape of a flower or the sun- or something equally mighty! Pretty
Thank you for showing us your clean up I cleaned all day 9 + hours today thanks to your motivation!!!! Most of the time people‘s house is already clean you are showing true life of lived in and I appreciate you good job!!!!!
I don't have kids so I don't have that added stress! But I run to businesses and have severe anxiety and depression and it's really hard to get motivated! I'm glad I found you you have giving me some inspiration thank you! It's nice to know that there are other people out there that struggle with this on a daily basis and can push through it to get it done!
Today is the day for me to tackle the worst room in my house. You have motivated me to do what I have literally been dreading doing.
Laura, we are here for YOU TOO! Do t be embarrassed or ashamed of your room. We’ve all been there. This is a judge free zone. Cleaning your home for us on camera could help someone else going through what we do. So show us!
Also, have you ever considered paper plates and paper cups for the kids? It’s a lot easier to keep up with the kitchen if you can just through away the plates sometimes.
Hi Cheryl and thank you so much! You always know how to make me feel better about myself! I appreciate you being honest and kind to me. And yes we do paper plates! I am definitely a paper plate mom over here! lol! The problem is we run out sometimes! lol !Have a great weekend! Stay Mighty! xo
Hello, I love your videos, you work so hard. Thank you for getting me motivated to cleaning and decluttering again. I am still in recovery and healing myself. I nearly died last year. I have Widespread bilateral acute saddle pulmonary embolism and DVT with right heart strain still healing and I suffer from anxiety and depression because of it. I have found me again and started getting back to myself. May this continue so 🙏 thank you for your videos and keep it going xx
This is real life and I appreciate this sort of content so much! Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate you being here! xo
Agreed!
I watched your bathroom clean and purge yesterday . It helped me so much. Thank you for being so transparent. You are not alone.
Thank you Laura, my sister. You share exactly my journey. I’m not there yet, but you are a great help & motivation. Thank you & Lord bless.
Oy I felt so tired cleaning all weak but I realize that cleaning does release stress and the finish product is rewarding.
Wow the motivation from your video is exactly what I needed! We just moved into our first home and with boxes and projects and renovations going on I have fell behind and have been feeling so unmotivated and defeated and now this is exactly what I needed! Putting your videos on the TV and not making anymore excuses! Thank you.
Toys are a must in my house as well. We have 2 playrooms one upstairs and another downstairs. Toys over technology, I’ll take the creative mess over the mental numbness any day of the week and developmental stage of my children.
You have mentioned in several videos that some say you talk too much throughout your videos. I full heartedly disagree! I love that you talk and i love the amount that you talk! It's like having a friend in the kitchen with me while I'm loading the dishwasher. Or in the laundry room while I'm swapping loads. If all I wanted was to listen to music, I would do that. But I thrive on the listening to an adult talk and the subject matter speaks to me. I even find myself talking back out loud. So thank you for audibly reminding me that if I can't finish something, that's not a reason to not to start it. One more than a handful of occasions, when the kiddos interrupt me, I hear your voice telling me it's okay. And it helps me realign my priorities in that moment. When the babies need me, it's okay to let the dishes go... for now. And come back to it later.
This is the first account I’ve come across that I genuinely relate to as a mother of 3 boys , ( 6m, 3 years & 5 ) my mind is always in constant overload!
I've been very motivated to clean my house and Yard. I've been hurt for two years from a car accident. These videos do help thank you.
I am so sorry to hear that Deanna. I am praying you to keep improving and I hope I can get you do one thing each day! That is win for both of us! Stay Mighty! xo
@@MightyMama Thank you mighty MaMa
Recently put all of my games into Ziploc bags and I love it it's so much better than having the big bulky box
its so sad that most content creators feel the need to explain why they have what they have in their homes. We're just hear to watch you clean, not judge you! I enjoy your vids!
I love how you organized your fridge! Gave me some good ideas😊. Recently found your channel and am loving it! I’m a single mom struggling with anxiety, depression and menopause….ugh😞. Also working towards minimalism. If you ever decide to expand your content, would love to see an exercise/workout with me video! Another thing I’m struggling with😬 Happy Friday🥰
Well done, Laura! That was a massive job but you really got it done. I absolutely agree that a few minutes is all you need to get going. Once you have that momentum it’s hard to stop! My soon to be seven year old says the same: “It always seems like the most boring thing ever to tidy up but once I do it it’s usually quite fun!” ❤️
Thanks so much Filippa! You have a smart child! 😊 We all have to do it in life! xo
Keep pushing through… I’m a professional organizer and a minimalist sometimes you just have to clean while depressed even if you can’t lift your head off the pillow because seeing a clear a space equals a clear mind… if you have 100 toys you have to pick up 100 toys if you have 100 shirts you have to wash 100 shirts if you have 100 blankets you have to manage 100 blankets… The less you have is the less you have to manage
Thank you, it helps when you mention mental health and how hard it is to clean when you feel bad.
I don't know if this helps but I'll share anyway in case it helps someone. I used to have the same struggles with laundry. I hated putting it away. After self analyzing I realized that the reason I hated folding and putting away was because my closets and dressers were over filled. I decluttered and folded everything Marie Kondo style(ish) and now I don't seem to mind laundry as much. I still struggle with it sometimes but not nearly as much as before. I hope this helps. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.
I I'll ask
I oops make as!sks
I love having a clean house, it helps my mind stay clear. My daughter (21) is the same way.
Motivation needed! You brought it girl! Thank you!💖
Awesome! Thank you!♡
I really liked it when you said motivation is within you and to think about making good choices... So true and it helps me stay away from self-pity and martyrdom! Wise!
Thank you for this as a full time working pregnant mom with my 3rd child with 2 toddler 1& 3 I haven't been motivated to get up and clean do laundry I'm so tired and I do suffer from depression and anxiety so it makes it even worse I think about and see what I need to do everyday but it's so hard and I want to get up and get so tired of my home being messy but u gave me the motivation to get up at 11:39pm and clean thank you so much ❣ great job keep it up us mommies need these videos
Hello NeaNicholl! Yes girl! I am so proud of you for getting up even at night and just doing the thang! Sometimes thats whatbwe gotta do is pull an all nighter to clean the house. Been there many times before. Now just to keep up after is the challenging part. Just remember what you just cleaned and remind yourself its much easier to do 2 dishes then 20 and toss a couple plates of food then an entire stacked counters worth.and wipe a spill inmediately instead of scrubbing a stain. I try to live by this quote "a little cleaning each daybkeeps the stress mess away!"🤎 Also, allow yourself grace. You have a lot on your plate and once the kids are bigger they can help you and it wont alway be like this! Day by day Mama! Stay Mighty & God bless! I will keep you in my prayers!🙏💪✝️🤎
Really needed the encouraging words thanks again 🙂
I needed this so badly today. I've had 0 motivation to get up and clean and it's been a revolving door of shame and beating myself up. Liked, subscribed, and starting my all day clean up this very moment. God bless lovely
Nothing worst than other people shaming you it creates more guilt and Shame and has a paralyzing effect
thanks for this video its usually hard to get strated but yhou have to start somewhere
Thanks for the motivation, I love your videos, they look so realistic, thanks for sharing, can't wait for next videos.💕
Thanks Greta! xp
So happy to see this new video, I love watching the realness and getting motivated 🥰
Thank you for being here Lauren!♡
Hoping you can get a washer soon. We got a used one off marketplace and that was a huge money saver things are so expensive. Enjoy your vacation soon!!
Oh my goodness I have anxiety and depression and can’t stand anything out of place.
I so love your videos as I suffer depression and anxiety and sad and also OCD and today iam felling so low and ma house is in such a mess and just dont know where too start and I just fell I go round in circles as ma kids just loves everything behind them so I find it so overwhelming as I like ma house clean and tidy but it never stays that way ... so watching your videos helps me so thank you i so can do with a friend like you
Got some of my lower kitchen cabinet cleaned up and organized listening to you today. I like the balance of talk and music in it too, btw.
Way to go! So proud! ♡ Thanks for your feedback.
After seeing your couch issues, I have to tell you about my last couch! It was so worn that holes developed and some small person caught his foot in the hole and it ripped into a much larger hole! We couldn't afford to replace so I matched the color as closely as I could with duct tape and made a seal of sorts which was smooth to discourage any further "foot accidents"..... Then I bought an inexpensive throw and a pillow to put over it to camouflage. I felt very satisfied to know others have done similar things. thank you
My mother had my brother and I participate in clean up. We helped pick up and put them "away." It starts a lifetime habit :)
This looks unreal to me. I wouldn’t be able to clean all of that in one day. If you’re able to do this cleaning in one day, I admire you. 😊. I have to pick a day to clean certain things. For example, I just focus on one thing. Like today all I’m doing is cooking and clean the refrigerator. I’m doing one thing at a time. I blame it on my depression. I can sleep for days and not clean at all. I” ll probably do dishes and cooking but that’s about it. I’m watching this videos to get motivated. Thanks for sharing.
I found that if I plan to spend 10 minutes cleaning, it always gets done!
I have been practicing minimalism four years. I cringe to think I was once where you are now. It was so time-consuming and exhausting I did 5 minutes of cleaning this morning and I'm headed out for a hike lol. New subsciber ❤️ I watched a minimalist toy video where you put the toys in containers store them up and bring one tote out at a time shoe box size tote. This works perfect if you have a hard time really downsizing. I did start minimalist journey because of anxiety and it has helped so so much I practically decluttered it away lol
Thanks for being here Jen. You give me hope to a minimal future with peace. It is stressful and I am chipping away!♡
Just a thought, have you considered a toy rotation? It was a game changer for me. That way you keep all the toys that are loved and get played with they're just not all out at the same time. Whenever I rotate the toys my kids get so excited to have "new toys." I don't follow a schedule or anything, I just rotate toys when I start to notice the toys that are out aren't getting played with as much or my kids start acting bored, usually takes several weeks to get to that point.
Hi Amanda! I have heard of this but never tried. I am going to be doing a room makeover for the two kids that will share and so after my toy declutter video maybe I can create a rotation for the toys that are left over (if there are any extra). lol
I love your idea! Thanks so much! xo
I’m not sure if this is relevant (don’t have kids) but I do the toy rotation with my cats, and it’s always a hit. Toys are expensive for kids and cats!
I really liked the songs you put in between talking. Your videos are so cool because they are relatable and very real. I’m also on the minimalist journey and have made lots of progress. However, I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock after starting school again and after my child’s birthday. Although, I had a much smaller birthday party than in the past he still got a lot of gifts 90 percent of which he loved, but that meant things looked crowded again and the floor was chaos after his play. I went in and cleaned his room after about four stressful days of his room just being a pile. I was able to declutter things I had struggled with in the past with his help. I still have what I consider too much stuff and my goal is for it to look more of a bare look all around my home, but it just doesn’t seem totally practical for the season of life I am in right now. I really like extreme decluttering, but the more I declutter each time I do it feels like I get rid of less and less and it’s not as satisfying as when I get rid of a TON of stuff. I’m still excited though and can’t wait to be at a place where It’s more manageable.
Hey Marisol! Omgoodness! Gifts are the culprit of our hoard! The families spoil my kids and its gotten to the point I have actually asked them not to buy gifts. Lol! I really dont think my kids need all of it to be honest. And then it just overloads me so I can totally relate. And I also find extreme declutters to work better for me to. I like to really feel as if I am decluttering. Thank you for being here and I pray you are able to tsckle the clutter once again. You have come so far. Be proud! Stay Mighty!♡
How do y’all do these??? By the time I get home from work and getting the kids I’m so exhausted and overwhelmed I’m unable to get anything done. What I do get done it’s not enough to tell I’ve done anything. Then it’s time for supper, baths & bed 😭
I like the music..do u listen while cleaning? Wondering if it may help?
You are awesome!! An idea for you - have the kids help more. My kids loved helping mama. (They still do!) Only thing to remember - it may not be the exact way you like it done, but they feel so happy helping mama.
Wow 😍 this is real life thank you for the motivation I fight with anxiety and depression too it helps me 😊
It is so nice to see some real & relatable content. ❤️❤️ Thank you!
i would be cleaning my vac cleaner just broke on me and it won't pick up crumbs and it stopped working , you can try Fred Meyers might have some wicker baskets or thrive market might have some as well
When my kids were little and their toys became health hazards( hazard to my health from falling over them😂). I got the black garbage bags and put them away. I limited the amount they had out…when they got bored with the toys they chose to keep out, they would be able to trade them out. It was almost like a little shopping trip for them. They had forgotten about some of them and the excitement when they saw it/them was neat to see. It taught them to take care of what they had and they were rewarded when they kept their toys in order. I also gave them their own “real estate “… which was their bedroom 😁 They could keep it the way they wanted( within reason) as long as the clutter did not trickle into the rest of the house. It was neat to see how they treated their stuff. They had to clean it weekly( their ages at the time were 12,7,6 they are now 26,21 and 20) putting that on them made them realize the messier the room the longer it took…my youngest was and still the worse at keeping her spaces clean😂
I identify with a living space which is small enough to have to stagger tasks! Doing a good job!
do you have any suggestions for those of us who have disablilities? i am almost 60 but i am plagued with a multidude of issues including all over body pain and getting on the floor is not possible or climbing on a step to reach things, even just standing and walking around for me at times is a nightmare thanks in advance for your help.
How long did it take to get the house in a mess like that you did a great job cleaning it up .hope it helps with feeling overwhelmed.
You really motivated me to get things done today thank you❤️🙏🏾
So motivating Laura!!! Thank you so much! You rock❤️
I love watching these videos bc the mess is real. I can relate. I’m about to do this for turkey feast tomorrow
Thank you Mary! I appreciate you being here so much! You go girl! Get it done and feel that sense of accomplishment for having your "ish" together before the big feast. Then you can enjoy the holiday realaxing and having fun with your family! And most importanly have the clarity mentally to sit in your gratefulness for the day! Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!🦃🙏💪🦋🤎
If you don't want to get rid of toys consider a toy rotation. You can pack some up and rotate them out. It will be less overwhelming to maintain and you won't have to rebuy
First time watching and think it's so refreshing you don't use your kids in vlogs, I totally agree with you about their privacy. Also you did a great job and I love the message behind it re mental health. Good job Mama 👏 😊
Your videos may just have become my new favorite clean with mes !!❤
Wow, thank you, I couldn't sit and do nothing half way though that fridge cleanout. I had to get up and clean my own. Great motivation.
Thanks so much I'm a newbie to your channel and you've inspired me so much I suffer with depression. Your video gave me so much hope ! ❤ I love your washer where did you get it? I live in an apartment and this would be awesome.
Yeah I did my dishes and laid back down 🤣
💪👏👏🙏🤎
Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you have too many toys. Kids plus toys = fun and happy. They will grow out of them in time, let them have the toys.
I live alone but I've been in a silent depression so my place looks like I have 11 kids living with me. But I'm trying
Hello new to your channel it's nice to know that there's someone else struggling with anxiety and depression my house suffers because of mine by the way where are you from I'm from Kentucky any way thanks for your channel and keeping it real
I watch a lot of videos to get inspired to clean my own house. I encourage you to wear running tennis shoes when you are cleaning for better foot support. Your feet will thank you later. Cleaning a house is like a work out. You did a good job. I hope you get to de clutter your house soon. I have let go of so much stuff and It has help me get rid of a lot of negativity on a personal level as well.
Hey beauty! Here watching as I'm cleaning and packing 😘 needing this motivation!
You did an amazing job!! Keep up the awesome work. You got this mama !!!!
Looks like your doing well and were about to make a family recipe book, don't mind some of the hello fresh recipes but not something I use more than once a year. But the recipe book is for my partner to help pick the menu for the week and cook meals too 😃
The toys mass I can understand, I am slowly decluttering toys still but gave a couple to my oldest with lockdown since there stem activities. But it's easy to pick which toys leave the house because there usually broken since his so rough sometimes, but we work with it.
It worked. I watched the first couple minutes and then started to tidy. I ended up not watching but just listened to you. 30 minutes later its already so much better. Thank you.
Is there a way to know the music songs you used?
Yay! This makes me so happy Stephanie and why I come back here! Happy to help you today! Cleaning a small mess esch day keeps the big mess away! Stay Mighty!💪🙏🦋🤎
