    Your home is so clean and organized. There are people living in mini mansions who don't keep their homes as nicely as you do. Your attitude is everything. I really enjoyed your tour. It opened my mind to seeing how attitude makes a world of difference. I know a family living in a very similar style and size townhouse, and all they do is complain about wanting more and trashing the place. It truly is all about HOW you live. ❤

      I agree with this statement. Her home is nice, clean and organized. But there are areas of “the projects” in some cities where there may be a lot of gun violence and gang activity. Where your children can’t even go outside for fear that they might get shot by a stray bullet. It then becomes a matter of “where you live”.

    This just looks like a normal apartment to me, like every place I've ever lived. In fact, it looks huge with a lot of amenties! It is honestly kind of comforting seeing an apartment tour that has the exact same type of kitchen cabinets, fridge, and crappy dishwasher that are in your own and has made it into a beautiful and personal space. I did crack up when you point at the bag of bags! "If ya know ya know!"

    I lived in the projects...back in the 70's, and I remember how clean all the homes were. It was a mark of pride that you kept everything neat and tidy. We had a neighbour, Miss Robins, who gave all the children home baked goodies if we were respectful and in return we ran to the shop for her when she needed something. There was a real sense of community in our neighbourhood.

      I don't know if you have seen houses in Europe, so this is a really nice space and comfortable, I don't know what kind of neighborhood you are in? But the house is excellent, beautiful, well organized and with enough space. You in America usually compete with the houses of movie actors who have 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms each, which I think is funny because it doesn't serve them anything.

    When I was first married with a small baby, we lived in low rentals in a small city in Canada. The floors were old vinyl tiles. The one bathroom had visible plumbing. The kitchen had a sink with 3 feet of old metal cupboards attached. Fridge was not included, nor stove. The small living room had worn wooden floors, which we refinished. There were two bedrooms. In that sparse apartment, we made our first home. I made sure it was clean. Outside there were lawns we had to water, and playground for the kids. I have had beautiful homes since, but I count those 7 years as the best of my life. Because rent was so low, we could afford me to attend university to become a teacher. I'm retired now.. but I remember those years fondly.

    I can't understand how anyone could think this is anything but a nice, basic, perfectly functional apartment. At 26, when I first lived in a place like this, it was a *huge* step *up* from the kind of places I'd been living in since I'd left my abusive home at 17. The longest I've ever lived in one place was in a one bedroom apartment very much like this one. I lived in it for 12 years very happily. Everyone else I knew had places like this too. Most still do. I only left because I fell in love with a single father who was raising two children, so we needed more space. I was 43 at the time.

      Get a pin & paper. You will be shocked how easy making hummingbird food is. How much less the cost is from buying it. By the way that red stuff is very bad for their bills and causes them to not be able to eat...'Also never use anything other than as hot water will come out of tap for cleaning the feeder. It will harm them. I have feed them for years. The first year you might not have a lot of birds. Do not be disappointed. Each year the number increases. Also never place feeders close to each other, they are a bit territorial. I have a feeder in back & front yard so they cannot see each other LOL. Their battles will amuse you for hours. if are like me. Also, they might not seem to be coming for a while because the scouts for finding food come first. Also, when flowers are in full bloom, they eat the nectar a lot. The proper time is about right after Easter. Or when the nights do not go lower than about 50. They leave in late fall depending on night temp. Or after the first hard frost.
      TO CLEAN THE FEEDER & CARE FOR FEEDER.
      You only need hot water, small dishpan, disposable gloves & a baby bottle type scrub brush.
      Take feeder apart completely. perch's, the food - guards, bottoms or lids. When new just use the hot water method alone. Once have used the feeder. Do it how describe below way.
      emptied-out
      MAKING HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD FOOD
      Any sized feeder used you will just need to remember it is always. Two parts water too.1 part sugar. Using your feeder like a measuring cup.
      You will need a well-scrubbed & rinsed saucepan large enough to fit water for the size feeder are using. Just measure the amount of water feeder holds by testing it out before ever using it. Bottled water is best for health of birds as tap water has chemicals. Pour the amount of water need into pan. Turn on heat. Heat the water to almost boiling point. Then just add in granulated table sugar. Do this slowly and be sure to stir it well. You will know is done when it returns to a clear color. Allow this mix to become room temp before putting in put back together feeder now you are ready to hang the feeder. It is just that easy. Always fill & soak sink used in bleach water as are cleaning a bird feeder. Clean counter area in bleach water as well. @@user-dm1pt4ru6e

    Dignity is not a bank balance. ;) Your space is so calm, and peaceful. I always love spaces like this, because I think of it like when I was a child. When you feel cozy, protected, and that all is well. I lived with no laundry and no dishwasher for almost 20 years. It was such an upgrade to have laundry and a dishwasher. It was a trade off to what I did have at that time. I think as Americans we need to realize how much we really have, in that 2 billion people don't have drinking water. And 750 million people don't have electricity. I've always thought that - not where you live, but how.

    I know people in wealthy suburbs that pay 3k+ for tiny and poorly kept STUDIO apartments, and here is an apartment in the projects that is nicer than any of them. What a home is worth is different for everybody. Some people sacrifice everything for location. Some people sacrifice everything for square footage. Some people don’t have much choice. The important things are these: Do you have what you need? Is your home safe? Do you find refuge in it? Is there love in it? Are you making happy memories there? Can you feel at peace there?
    Having a home is like having a relationship. It needs to provide safety and security, and we need to invest care and time into it. This is a great example of a home that the family takes pride in and cares for well, and it shows. It is very lucky to grow up in a home that is so cozy and calm and warm.

    I don't know you, but I'm proud of you. You showed what can be done with any amount of space when it's kept clean and organized. Your space shows you've taught your children to appreciate what they have also. Plus you ain't ashamed to acknowledge our Lord and the space you've created to worship him. Blessings surely will continue to be poured out on you.

    I grew up in a public housing project. I was born in '72. We lived there from 1979 to 1989. Age 6 to 16. My mother was a single mom with 3 kids. We had the best childhood, and we didn't realize we were poor until some mean kids at school told us so.
    Ours was townhouse style, too. They were built in the mid 1940s, brick design, and by the 70s, they definitely needed an upgrade, which they did in 1999, but 10 years after we moved out. There was always a cockroach problem. My mother kept the cleanest home, but they would find their way through from the neighbors' apartments. They were not fun.
    There weren't any dishwashers or laundry area. My mom would have the washer hooked up right beside the sink. And our dryer was next to our fridge and held our microwave, which was huge at the time. Lol.
    I'm 51 now and a suburban SAHM. I would give anything to go back in time and live one whole day in my childhood home. There is just no one around here to play double dutch with. 😢
    Your home is beautiful and cozy! I loved your video!

    That’s “the projects”? Better starting palette than I’d imagined. Beyond that you’ve done an excellent job of decorating and organizing and you keep it so nice and clean. I think this channel has great potential. Keep sharing your home, cleaning, shopping, etc… busting the myths about income based everything. Showing reality because I’m sure not all people have as nice a place, and if they do, I’m sure many struggle with cleaning, working, taking care of kids and raising them right. You have much to share and you’ll be amazed how your audience grows. You could help others adjust the way they do things to live a best life just by example. No judgement. No preaching Everyone could use help and I can see this taking off. I’m a plus 1 today because I want to watch you take off. Personally I really like cleaning vids, before and after, organizing and I’m not the only one. This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched so I don’t know if you have some formal theme going yet but think you could ride this puppy. I really like your perspective. Good luck.

    I grew up in a project in the 60's. Wonderful neighbors from all over the world. My neighbors were so good to my sister, brother and myself. They were there for us with our tragedy. Our homes were clean and we shared food. I have gratitude in my life. Bless the poor. Be generous to others. Sending love to this sweet woman.

    Your home is so nice! Looks so comfy and cozy! You are doing a GREAT job ! I Didn't make very good choices when I was young. Two kids And divorced by the time I was 17. I've lived in projects and small trailer parks. We can afford what we can afford, but we Kept it clean and comfortable. I remarried and things were tough, slow going, and we both worked our butts off in factories .All of our furniture, TVs etc. were hand-me-downs or thrift shop. We have been through hundreds of cars, Because they were all bombs we even had to live almost 2 years with no vehicle. We lost one home, and a couple of cars Repossessed. As Time goes by, you upgrade here and upgrade there. Now in our sixties, the kids are grown, we have lots of grandkids and great grandkids. We have a modest 2100 square ft home in a Lake community. We got our very first brand-new car in 2020 ( a black Toyota Rav4) . We turned one of the bedrooms into office where we work. The furniture I have now is the furniture I always dreamed of. We still have to work hard to keep everything paid for, but everything we have we owe directly to God ! Your home is Lovely. I can imagine cuddling up on the couch with a warm blanket and the kids with that warm fireplace heater going.... Serenity! you should be very proud of yourself. You are doing a great job. As a woman who's been there, I am so proud of you! Hard work, perseverance, and team God ! love you my friend

    I started out in projects, and I made it beautiful as well. How you live reflects who you are inside. How you start out doesn’t determine how you end up, it’s all about the mindset, it’s a stepping stone to where you’re going! As I stated, I started where you are, and I went to College, got a great job then a career! All while living in the projects. From there the sky is the limit! I married, had children, brought a 3500 sq ft home, now an EMPTY NESTOR/Widow, I’m in my 1300 sq ft retirement home and I love it! NEVER regretting my past, embracing it because it was my humble beginnings!
    You got this young lady!!!

      If most people in the projects lived like this it wouldn’t be the projects. I’d say she is most likely one of the few who takes care of her home. You don’t have to be rich to not throw your trash everywhere and destroy your community.

    Your home is beautiful! Because of an income based house, I was able to take care of 2 sons as a single and go to school at the age of 42 and become an elementary school teacher! Your home is beautiful and so are you! I am now 73 years old. 7 years ago i was able to buy a completely remodeled home for $50,000 with a house payment of $381.00 per month! Your home video has inspired me to get rid of all excess clutter 😅 because of how beautiful your home is! Sweetie, I'm proud of you though I've never met you! Keep up GOD'S good work!

    It’s way nicer than I thought it would be. It’s very clean and you can tell you have pride and gratitude. I am also a single mom, I am now 59 and my girls are now 35 & 30. I worked really hard and when my girls were little we lived in a one bedroom one bath trailer, it was 400 square feet. By the time my daughters were preteen and a teenager I had earned my masters degree and was able to buy a 3 bedroom 2 bath house. I did everything be myself while living in the very expensive Bay Area. You can do anything you put your mind to. You have a great spirit and attitude. Thanks for sharing wish you well.

    All you need is love to turn any space into a home. Many people have such big houses and mansions but it can never be a home because everyone is so materialistic and superficial nowadays. As long as you are safe and have a roof over your head and food on the table and a family who lovers and cares for each other you are already the wealthy

    "You can't complain!" Well, yes, one could but instead, you choose to express gratitude. You are blessed.
    Steppin' on a Lego pain is real. The nook is where they belong. Especially since there is no tv in the bedroom, which is not needed! A dedicated place for homework, eating, and sleeping should be thy priority for children of all ages in school.
    Mirrors make any room seem bigger. Fantastic job.
    Some IYKYKs: money tree for hope, security bar for door, lugging cases of water up flights, a devotional spot, a bag full of more bags, the animal crate "cover."
    Low income does not mean low clean. And high income does not mean homey. You should be very proud of what you have and have done here. It is very inviting and warm.
    Thank you for sharing your HOME.
