I totally agree. I loved reading books. I just can’t do it as often as I used to. I get migraines, even while reading with my prescription glasses. Downloaded my first audio book.
I'm surprised the last home owner left helpful sticky notes everywhere, but didn't bother to leave the home clean for you. Congrats on buying a home and making it your own.
Normally the realty company that sells the house for the owners will have a cleaning crew come in and clean after they’ve moved out. That’s what the company did for the house I bought. I went to clean my house before I moved anything in and there almost wasn’t anything for me to clean. They professionally cleaned the carpets and cleaned all appliances and everything. And my house is not large or lavish is anyway either.
My mom and I both have used scratch tape on our couches where cats like to scratch. It's clear so you don't see it but when your cats go to scratch it's slightly sticky and after a few times they will stop :)
My 8-yo daughter & I read digital books early in the pandemic when our local library was closed. Once the library reopened, though, we returned to physical books. She loves browsing the shelves. Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I did the whole kindle thing for myself. But now I’ve come to miss actual books. And my eyes have gotten worse after 7 years of staring at a computer for my job. I’ll be sticking to physical books for our son. I don’t want to encourage more screen time than he already gets. Having some books on the kindle is great for traveling. So I may end up getting our son his own kindle for road trips.
could you also keep posting your ditl of working mom routines? Your videos really helped me when I was taking my daughter to daycare and jugging with full time work:)
good luck with your unpacking. I can't imagine doing while feeling sick. I hope you are feeling much better. We moved last summer and the kitchen cabinets felt like they had 30 years of grease on them. I used Dollar Tree LA Awesome orange grease cleaner and a flat Dollar Tree scrub cloth. It worked great. The LA Awesome had no fumes and didn't bother my very dry hands (I never wear gloves). It worked so well without really scrubbing. All the grease kind of melted off. Mmioved again in June to an apartment and moving again in October. Moving is awful. Feel better. Can;t wait to see what you do to the house. Congratulations to you and your family-new house, new baby! How exciting.
So fun seeing your first cleaning video in the new house! Hoping you start feeling better soon. Both my pregnancies were awful during the first trimester, so I definitely can relate!
About the couch... Making your own couch cover is SO EASY! I absolutely love re-covering furniture! Just go to Walmart or any fabric store, pick out the material, get a $15 staple gun and have fun! Don't have to be too careful about holes for a couch that is already torn up by cats. Material is cheap, you can find it on clearance all the time, you could redo it every few months and it's like buying a new couch every time 😄 They have fake leather that's more expensive but seriously just grab any material that floats your boat! I hope you try it and make a video about it! 🤗
Congratulations on your new home, it is so cute, I love the rancher style and I can see you will be busy getting your home together your new baby arrives, breathe, it takes time, enjoy the journey, my best to you and your family. Happy Holidays!
I recommend putting a small scratching post right next to the part where they scratch. I have two cats and they used to scratch the side bad. Now that I put the scratching post right next to it, they almost never scratch the couch!
Double sided sticky tape works pretty well just make sure to replace it often and place they're paws on it at fist so they know it's there, putting a scratching post right next to it, and there are scratching post type attachments you can put on your wall and I believe furniture.
There’s wide double sided tape or clear acrylic/hard plastic you can put on the sides of the chair they’re scratching. Keep a scratcher in the room and have a few different types of scratchers for them like a rope one or a cardboard one. Idk when they did it but if it was around the time of moving and packing it could have been stress making them act out. Feliaway calming diffusers help to reduce their stress too. Good luck!
Under the sink with garbage disposal unit: shower rod/curtain rod for utilizing vertical space. Your pull-out wire shelves should work, less you need a smaller unit. I did my under-the-sink loosely based on your apt setup.
Bless your heart!!!!! It's very overwhelming moving into a new home and especially if it's dirty and you aren't able to clean prior. Been in your shoes. It's even more difficult being pregnant 🙃 Hope u start feeling better soon... What's Carson say about a new baby coming??? You have done a lot in this video and I can't wait to see what all you do in the future. As always I so love everything you film. Take care and rest when u can and be good to Catherine. 🤗
Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on the new house and the baby. I can't believe how much your son has grown. I have the same brick wall with my daughter's room. We mostly read books but they will read on their tablets too. My son just read The Hobbit. Its so important to read to them and its awesome your little guy loves it.
Toy rotation is amazing! The more minimal our sons toys are they better he plays. And it’s easier for him to help pick up. I absolutely love white kitchens. But I knew a bright white wouldn’t look right in our house. Plus my husband hates them. lol We compromised on painting our oak cabinets Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams. And because I love a bright neutral space we chose Campfire Ash by Behr for our wall color. It’s a lighter version of the AG but makes the whole kitchen feel light and bright. We chose a darker multi colored/patterned granite and will be painting our island a darker color once I settle on one. But the AG color goes with so many different colors and countertops.
Those vacuum lines are very satisfying. I’ll have to check this vacuum out. I currently have a Dyson, which is a piece of junk. It was very nice of the previous owners to leave the helpful sticky notes but they should have cleaned the home as well. I always have and even go as far as filling in the holes and painting them after removing wall decor. The buyers from the last home I sold actually called and thanked me for that.
The house looks like it's been well cares for and they left little notes to help make it easier for you...I hope the past owner isn't watching this video thinking they weren't clean people. They would be embarrassed.
I have had cats my whole life… the corrugated cardboard scratchers really satisfied my cats so that they would not go after furniture. I actually placed their scratchers right in front of the previous scratching spot of furniture. My cats liked the ones that sat on the floor…NOT the tower ones that are vertical.
Helpfull stickers was so nice of them but what watching you Put things away I couldn't believe how on earth you put all fitted in your kitchen Annmarie UK xx
I’m So happy for you that you were able to finally get you a house I know how much you struggled to get one in this ridiculous market. Also congrats on the rainbow baby coming my eyes got watery of emotions 😊 so happy for you.
Get a cat tower cats love to be up high and they will spend a lot of their time there and probably do their scratching on the tower. Also they sell cat claw covers that you slip on to their front claws they are sticky and fall off as the claw grows they come in all different colours.
Smarty Kat brand has a Scratch not spray you can spray on whatever surface you want and it will deter your cats from scratching there. we use it on our couches. works great.
I am here for some cleaning motivation and I must say every time I come to your channel I leave motivated and ready to clean my house. This video was extremely relaxing and Extremely motivating!! 😊
My cats are horrible too. Apparently mine love the storage bench I have so I put a scratch post in front of the area and I put double sided tape on the corner. They didn’t like that much and it’s a little funny when it gets stuck to them but it worked. 😀
I've had cats for over 30yrs and the best recommendation I have is to get one of those flat cardboard scratching pads. They usually come in sets of two at PetSmart for cheap and every cat I've ever had has preferred them to scratches ng the furniture! Give them a try! ☺
Gotta love the 😺 they just want to feel safe and at home in their new surroundings.😺 Leave their scent by rubbing on your belongings to orient themselves in a new home too. Patience ,they will calm down and stop climbing on everything.😺
Morning sickness is no joke! I didn’t have any with my first. But my second!!! Oh my!!! I was sick with her for the first and third trimester. Being sick like that when you are at the end is horrible. Praying you feel better.
Hope you are feeling better soon! Your house is really starting to shoe up! I would buying a tall multilevel çarpet covered cat condo placed in front of a window. Completely stopped my cat from scratching the carpet and furniture.
Everything takes time. Eventually all will fall into place. Sad that the former owners left the house dirty. They should have cleaned it. A trick for the cats to stop scratching the couch is to put foil on it that will deter them. We had our cat declawed but before that she scratched our couch. Hope you feel better ❤️
hey congrats on the house and yes i agree the owner should have cleaned the house thorougly before leaving. Awww the pooor cat was afraid of the vacum. Cutie pie!
I painted my house grey so I could switch out colors. Now I want to change it so I’m right there with you. I’m still undecided what color to do. Hope you feel better soon.
I'm not sure you'll find any furniture that is cat scratch resistant! LOL! We used to use the soft paws nail covers for our cats and they worked really well. We did have one cat that would chew the tips off, so then the nail just grew through (little stinker!) but the other cats tolerated them and it kept our furniture from being destroyed further. Our current cats are now declawed. I know that is a very touchy subject but they had it done by laser as kittens. After buying leather furniture, I was not willing to sacrifice it to the cats. Previously we tried everything recommended by the vet and I did a lot of research and tried a lot of crazy things, but nothing ever deterred them from doing what they loved! Since you have several cats that are not kittens, soft paws (or similar product) is definitely worth a try.
I know microfiber couches aren’t as pretty, but they clean extremely well and my cat’s scratches never showed up on that couch. So happy that you got a house. Sucks that it was so dirty. When the professional cleaners come it will be a clean slate.
My daughter is in the same way as you now! I’m so excited, she is my only child and this will be my first grandchild ❤️congratulations 🎊 glad I found you.
Your husband made me laugh so hard in this video! 😂 I love that look on his face… ‘I really don’t want to be in your video, but thanks for that Catherine!’ 🤣
Just thinking about that red carpet you despise in your coat closet...I wonder if there is a wonderful surprise under there: better wood floors? Curious.
We don't do digital books. We have lots of books, and our local library is ten minutes away from our house. Once a week or so my husband takes the kids to pick out new books.
To discourage my cat from scratching my sofas, I bought double stick clear plastic sheets from Amazon. They are easy to apply and change when needed and they are affordable. They work because most cats don't like sticky surfaces. The sheets are clear and aren't visibly offensive. You'll know when it's time to change then when your cats try to hit the furniture, again. White kitchens aren't going anywhere, they are a clean, classic look and you can jazz them up with accents colors and accessories.
I had terrible morning sickness with my daughter. Actually it was all day sickness and it lasted until my 2nd trimester. We didn't know what we were having but I told my husband this must be a girl! It was and she's pretty head strong at 7! She's my only child as once was enough for me😂. Cats don't like citrus. You can either put orange peels by the couch or use a citrus spray. Great video 👍. Take care.
Double sided tape will help on your couch/furniture. My cats hate it! They always give me dirty looks when they try to scratch...haha. But it does deter them. Give it a try.
Congrats on your new house! Is it in a different location than your previous house with your husband? Also, white is classic. I don’t think a white kitchen will ever really be “out”. I just painted mine white recently from the IKEA birch color that it was. I love my kitchen now.
Bad sickness is supposed to mean your hormone level is high, indicating that your baby is very healthy and strong. That's how my friend told me to make me feel better and endure the sickness.
Yes! I threw up the entire 38.3 weeks with my first daughter and then once after i had her. The second girl was a new medication so sick a lot of the pregnancy but not throwing up. It’s so hard
When my cat was a kitten I had just bought a couch and worried about him clawing it. I read if give them another option to claw it may help. I placed a scratching post next to the couch and he claws that. Haven’t had an incident.
I would suggest getting a couch cover….my cats hate the scratching posts but loved my old couch…I put a couch cover over it as someone suggested it to me…magically my cats wouldn’t touch it….I am going to be doing the same thing when I get a new couch
I can’t remember the name, but there’s a specific couch that is advertised as a material that cats can’t destroy. I think it’s mainly for people who have pets. Also, there’s these plastic/acrylic things you can get that kind of wrap around that part of your couch (they’re clear) so the cats can’t scratch it 😅 whenever my cats try to scratch my couch I say “ay!” real loud and they run 😅 I work from home so I’m able to keep on eye on them but I know that not everyone can.
You did a great job, considering you are not feeling well. I know how you feel. I have three daughters. Hope you feel a lot better soon. Take your time, you shouldn't try and do it all at once
Do you pay for each of the books you download? My son has a Kindle Fire and I actually never thought of reading books on it with him so we’ve been doing physical books but I like the idea of this…
Maybe you could put a throw blanket over the end of your couch to hide cat damage! My dog destroys all of our window sills and doors with his toenails 😬
You can hire someone to reupholster you current couch and they can suggest you the best material to keep your cats away from it! So you don't commit with a brand new couch and they destroy it again 😔❤️ hope it helps!
Instead of replacing the sofa call a sofa repair specialist they will either match up the material or if they can’t will take a piece of material from the back or someone less noticeable and then put another bit on that area that no one will see either that or you could get crafty and just cut and staple and different colour bit there yourself
Congrats on your new home! The sellers of that house left you a mess though. :( When we sold our last house, we had a very minimal amount of time to move, and I still made sure I left them a clean house. I even mopped it on my way out. Either way, congrats again! ~Elayne
Nothing beats a physical book. Opening up the pages, the smell of a new book. ♥️♥️♥️
I totally agree. I loved reading books. I just can’t do it as often as I used to. I get migraines, even while reading with my prescription glasses. Downloaded my first audio book.

Congratulations on your new home, new baby and new start! Wishing you everything good. God bless❤️
I’m growing out of the all white modern farmhouse kitchen toward the trend of white upper cabinets and charcoal grey bottom cabinets.
I did the whole kindle thing for myself. But now I’ve come to miss actual books. And my eyes have gotten worse after 7 years of staring at a computer for my job. I’ll be sticking to physical books for our son. I don’t want to encourage more screen time than he already gets. Having some books on the kindle is great for traveling.

Do you pay for each of the books you download? My son has a Kindle Fire and I actually never thought of reading books on it with him so we’ve been doing physical books but I like the idea of this…
I’m surprised the previous owners left things dirty! Feel bad for you!
I’m really curious isnt there meant to be slats or a box base under your sons mattress
Good job Catherine, but you have take care you and the baby, take time put everything in order
Cat scratch tape works!
Never get a leather sofa, cats are really attracted to it but hopefully they will grow out of it and you can get any sofas your family desires xx
I’ve been seeing wood cabinets coming back, you may want to sand them down and stain them. I don’t have cats but have you thought about declawing them
Good luck 🍃🌸
Go as neutral as possible and give the touches of Colour with decor! Mine was burgundy and grey and got sick of it after a few years!!!
Maybe you could put a throw blanket over the end of your couch to hide cat damage! My dog destroys all of our window sills and doors with his toenails 😬
You can hire someone to reupholster you current couch and they can suggest you the best material to keep your cats away from it! So you don't commit with a brand new couch and they destroy it again 😔❤️ hope it helps!
Try leather sofa.
Hope your 😺 will not damage.
Good video 👍.
Instead of replacing the sofa call a sofa repair specialist they will either match up the material or if they can’t will take a piece of material from the back or someone less noticeable and then put another bit on that area that no one will see either that or you could get crafty and just cut and staple and different colour bit there yourself
Congrats on your new home! The sellers of that house left you a mess though. :( When we sold our last house, we had a very minimal amount of time to move, and I still made sure I left them a clean house. I even mopped it on my way out. Either way, congrats again! ~Elayne
Yes they did! We ended up hiring professional cleaners to do a deep clean because it was too much for me!
Lov u enjoy all u do 😍👍❤️
