Your commitment to working out is always super inspiring 👊 And prepping for the next day the night before always makes me think of how in the Bible God made the next “day” start at sundown .... He was on to something! Haha...my days always go smoother when I do that👌
I have the house picked up every night, my kids do a chore a day, and I try to do a load of laundry every morning. I'm also a minimalist so that helps speed up cleaning and helps me to have a peaceful environment (I homeschool as well, have two preteens and a toddler).
Thank you! Seriously always such a blessing! We're going through a very trying, emotional time, and your sharing here is such an incredible encouragement. I can not tell you how much I appreciate you being here, and taking the time to share the mundane, real life stuff..
Ashley- you are awesome. Thanks for putting in the work to help inspire other moms like myself. I work full time outside the home and homeschool (going on 9th year of it!) I still get overwhelmed often and feel like I can’t keep up with everything expected sometimes... it’s refreshing to see how organized you are in contrast to my crazy schedule 😅-I love following your DITL videos because they are realistic and you seem very genuine. It helps remind me to keep it simple and to keep trucking on. (I’m watching you while eating lunch at work 😄). Keep up the great work!
Favorite part was when you cleaned up the night before!! I got this tip from you at least a year ago and it is the best feeling to wake up to a clean kitchen ready to start the day!! 😌
Love this, Ashlee! We do a similar routine with chores. My struggle right now is my kids who are SLOW with chores. One of my kids wash dishes after breakfast, and yeah...it takes about 30 minutes, and we have had a hard time starting school on time! 😩 There’s just no rush for them when there’s no strict time constraint as we homeschool!
Very similar to what we do in my home. Kiddos do their part, my husband is wonderful to help, I try to stay on top of things throughout the day, and I also have help with the bathrooms once a month. It’s honestly my favorite thing to budget for!! Thanks for taking the time to make videos like this.😊 Hope y’all feel better soon!
This was an awesome day in the life video! I totally agree with your nighttime routine of making sure the kitchen is clean and school work is prepped and ready for the next day. There’s nothing worse than waking up to a sink full of dirty dishes!
I’m 45 and one thing i regret is not hiring a cleaning company !! Good for you ..smart mom to stay ahead and get more time with your kids and have someone else do the deep cleaning at times. Your such a great mom and person. You put forth so much effort. Don’t worry about others (on Instagram) !! I’ve heard it said that there is something people despise about excellence. Keep your chin up!
I love your day in the life videos! Keep ‘me coming! Seriously, I play them while I do housework. It’s inspiring and motivating. Thank you so much for continuing to provide encouraging content!!!
You inspire me! I need your energy! It's so easy to just sit and wait until the next day to do house clean up but that's no fun waking up the next day to a dirty house! If my kitchen is clean in the morning, I feel like I have less chaos in my head to worry about since our kitchen is one of the main things you see from almost every angle of the house! Have a great week and you all get better!! :-)
Thanks for another great video! Ending my day with a tidy home and clean laundry is a must as well. Every member of my family likes seeing the pillows fluffed in the morning, lol. So sorry you and your poor kiddos have caught a bad virus. Praying for rest and healing ❤️
Love day in the life videos! I also appreciate the food and fitness. I struggle soooo badly fitting healthy eating and especially exercise into our rountine. I think I have a hard time letting go of the idea that I HAVE to workout in the morning.
Your approach to organizing and staying on top of things is very similar to ours here: Clean as you go, and don't leave the kitchen messy at night. It's always better for me to wake up to a clean sink and counter tops. I want that "My Father's Dragon" collection too. My kids also loved those stories. :)
Hope you feel better soon! A cold hit our house recently too and gladly we are almost out of it. Now that I'm a mom (and homeschool) I realized awhile ago I clean without realizing it, and many things I do just as my mom did. Funny how things pass down like that, lol. We have a dog and cat, and a family of feral cats that live in the backyard-so plenty of other daily cleaning. I used to set a timer for the laundry until I started to zone out the sound, oops!
I love your yard with the turf grass, that's something I want to do to minimize the insects lol. I think it's a great idea to have someone come in and deep clean once a month, it leaves more time for us to focus on what's important, our kids.
Love this ! Your videos always help me see the possibilities and the whole picture of homeschooling potential as well as the normality of it all. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there. Just found your channel this month and have been watching a LOT of your videos 😄. Can you share where you bought your pull-up bar with the dangling hoop handles that you have installed in your garage for workouts?...and the brand? Also, I noticed in some of your responses to people you’ll tell them you have things on your amazon page. How do I locate your amazon page? Thanks!
Any chance you could do a video or add to your website a specific schedule? Like how often you clean certain areas in your house/ what the deep clean involves, etc.?
Love this! So inspiring as always! I can't wait to see your new site. I need to update our chore system, esp once our new puppy arrives. Hope you are all well by now.❤
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing this cleaning routine with us! Its helps me to see how to incorporate and set up systems to keep things moving! When I was a working outside of the home. I had systems in place and distinct segments throughout my day which gave me cues to done the next day cleaning task. And when my boys were babies I used their eating and nap times as my cues, but as naps faded and outside activities and my husband work schedule went back and forth from days to nights and then an major injury. I feel like a mom on a hamster wheel trying to find and make a daily flow that works for the whole family! Thanks for the refresher course in cleaning 101! I really need to get back to the simple clean as I go system. I don't know why its always the simple things we forget. Ps in your opinion and research is their anything wrong: hormonally, metabolism, etc with working out first thing in the morning when I wake up before eating? I keep getting mixed info on this topic. Thanks so much really love your Adobe and video and the grass in your yard is beautiful!
I clean everyday and I have 5 kids and they all have to help me. It teaches them responsibility! I love that u do as well. I also homeschool my 6 year old. I have two in high school and 2 in college. I only homeschool elementary. I also run my spouses construction business so I need everyone's help because I'm already swamped. Hahaha.
Love these videos. I also try to clean as I go. On those days I don't, I always regret not doing it throughout the day. Love the sun bathing bassetts and the science experiment 😉
Do you do year round school or take a summer break? If you do take more of a traditional summer break maybe you can share what your days are like? We keep up with reading of course but do math here and there as well. Mine have a summer break, they attend a hybrid school. Thanks! :-)
Great video! I love all of your energy!! What did you do with the balloon from your science project? My daughter was watching with me and kept wanting you to stomp on it to pop it and clean it up! Maybe in the next video? Thanks, Jenn
I didn't know you had 4 dogs! OOO I did not realize there were more My Fathers Dragon books...going to Ebay now! Purchased the 2 we didn't have! I guess your husband has recovered well since his surgery!
You are such an inspiration! Question though: does that dinner fill your husband up?? My husband and my 13 yo (almost 14) son eat SOOOOO much. We eat really clean, whole foods mostly, but man it's expensive! I can't fill them up! We're also an allergen free household so I can't give them peanut butter. 😢 I'll be interested to see what you're cooking when your boys hit their teen years. 😉 So, be sure your channel is still going then! 😜😂
Your commitment to working out is always super inspiring 👊
And prepping for the next day the night before always makes me think of how in the Bible God made the next “day” start at sundown .... He was on to something! Haha...my days always go smoother when I do that👌
Never thought of that correlation and I love it! Thankyou for sharing!

Yes! I have a kiddo like that too, and I’m always nudging him along.
Me too!
Wow! I'm struggling with giving chores and my role as a stay at home mom. Thanks for making this video! Very inspiring!

I love a clean home! I think having the kids do a share of chores is also very helpful! It has made my life easier ;)
Yes! Plus the dignity of responsibility does them a world of good.

Loved the video! Looking forward you the Good and the beautiful library video. Btw your skin looks amazing.
Thankyou for the sweet compliment!
Can you tell me where your kitchen table came from? I am remodeling and got rid of all my hand me down furniture. Starting fresh. Love yours!
Oh I just got a preview of the work! Sorry the kiddos are sick that is never fun. Love the day in the life videos!
Such a treat of a longer video! Love your day in the life videos : )
Love day in the life videos! I also appreciate the food and fitness. I struggle soooo badly fitting healthy eating and especially exercise into our rountine. I think I have a hard time letting go of the idea that I HAVE to workout in the morning.
That is my ideal time but I just can’t do it each day then so I’ve had to let that go but it’s been tough!

We used a staticy balloon this week too! We made a stream of water bend towards it! I hope everyone will be feeling better soon.
Any chance you could do a video or add to your website a specific schedule? Like how often you clean certain areas in your house/ what the deep clean involves, etc.?
Yes! Definitely in the future!

I say no! Just whenever is best for you to do it!
@@GraceandGrit Thanks. I really felt like it didn't matter much, but sometimes I get hung up on new info that I'm researching...lol!
Love these videos! Can you talk about how you and your husband split (if so) chores at home?
I clean everyday and I have 5 kids and they all have to help me. It teaches them responsibility! I love that u do as well. I also homeschool my 6 year old. I have two in high school and 2 in college. I only homeschool elementary. I also run my spouses construction business so I need everyone's help because I'm already swamped. Hahaha.
I totally agree that you have to have good routines.
Olivia was such a trooper!! Static hair everywhere 🤪
LOVE these videos and what great tips you have for a clean home. Definitely need to implement chores in my home.
Thanks for the clean house tips! ❤️
I kept having to pause the video because I thought your barking dogs were my dogs barking 😂😂😂
Made my dog bark a few times lol!
Candace Lee 😂 a great laugh thank you haha :)
Love these videos!

New subby here! Love your energy! Even with a cold lol. Do you ever feel like sometimes the mrs meyer's stuff leaves a film?
Where did you get your basset cookie jar and the cake stand beside it?
Walmart!
Its seriously inspiring that you can do that many pull ups. I dont think I've ever been able to even do one 😭
Do you do year round school or take a summer break? If you do take more of a traditional summer break maybe you can share what your days are like? We keep up with reading of course but do math here and there as well. Mine have a summer break, they attend a hybrid school. Thanks! :-)
Jayson/Tracy Bellamy we year round but take our longest break in the summer 6-8 weeks off
What kind of planner do you use?
Great video! I love all of your energy!! What did you do with the balloon from your science project? My daughter was watching with me and kept wanting you to stomp on it to pop it and clean it up! Maybe in the next video? Thanks, Jenn
I love your ditl videos :) my favorite part was...all of it
Random question but what kind of bowls were those your son was putting away? I like the size and color.
Target 79 cents
Target shopping trip this week for me 😊. Thanks mama!!
I didn't know you had 4 dogs! OOO I did not realize there were more My Fathers Dragon books...going to Ebay now! Purchased the 2 we didn't have! I guess your husband has recovered well since his surgery!
He has! So thankful!

It does fill them up:)
Thanks for the tips !
What sorts of things do you do specifically when you deep clean yourself on the weekends? Needing some advice on that. :-)
Dust Fans: deep clean bathrooms: dust the less common spaces, steam mop all the floors, wash and change bed linens. That’s some of what I do:)
Love your earrings❤
How much does it cost for deep cleaning
Wishing you health and keeping an eye out for your book giveaway!! #bookhoarder 😊
4 dogs? Wow! I’m stressing about getting 1 dog. Any dog tips?
Haha crate and obedience training ❤️
Has anyone said you look a little bit like a young but wholesome and prettier Madonna.
No I’ve never heard that, but Thankyou!
