Hey my friends sorry for being MIA for a while but you know depression can certainly take over your life. Thanks for watching today’s video I hope it’s helpful to you and it certainly has helped me by getting up and making myself do things again. Next week I’m cleaning the kids rooms because omg!!! They are a mess! I hope I gave yall someone you can relate too and also a normal home you can relate too as well
I just subscribed i really enjoyed your channel, girl I am 64 year old wife,mother and grandmother of 7. You are NOT poor, you have a real nice home, adorable children and you have a good Outlook on life. This economy so many are struggling my husband and I are on social security between gas and groceries and our meds its tough, but I know God is walking beside me all is good, hold your head up, keep making videos ❤️❤️ this old lady from Texas will be watching
Home Depot has stain pens for furniture scuffs and scratches. You can get one that would be a close match to your cabinets. It won't fix them, but will definitely make them look a little better.
Hello from Louisiana. I just found your page and immediately subscribed. Finally something realistic that is totally relatable. I love your home , especially that kitchen sink ( I have it in black). One thing I can say, you are not poor; you might be broke but you’re not poor. There’s a big difference. 😊
I rent, I’m single mom, and we struggle. It’s really hard to watch these kinds of videos normally because I question myself because my house does not look perfect. Thank you for making these videos, and showing a normal home and life, everything you talked about I could relate to. Just found your channel, and will probably be watching your past videos.
Girl I needed this today. I’ve been struggling with depression, mom life, wife life all of the above and I’ve been run down to the ground. Your channel has gotten me out of that funk. I can’t thank you enough. God is good and he loves you and your family. We got this 🙌🏼💖
Whitney, this video just popped up on my feed and I’m glad it did. You put into words what I was thinking about how a lot of these cleaning videos are not relatable with the huge expensive houses and excess gadgets and decor. I cannot watch those videos because they are not real to me. You seem like a very nice person who is down to earth and has a good head on her shoulders! Also, you are NOT poor, not in the least! Keep up the good work!
Hello Whitney! I’m a 62 yo wife and mum from UK. Everything you said in this video completely resonated with me - except I’m old enough to be your grandma🤣. I love everything you showed and said! Rest assured, there are more of us like you than there are those who show cleaning what’s already clean, with no chips and stains and wear and tear. 🤷🏼♀️. We live in homes. Those others are merely houses! But it’s a battle to remind ourselves that we’re ‘normal’ 😢. You’re definitely filling a gap on TH-cam. Love you , subscribed now 🙌🏼
@@whitneygentry2947 I’m binge watching all your videos now🤣. Should be asleep - it’s 11.17 pm - but you’re making me feel so much better about myself!! Night x
Thank you so much. Being a mom is so hard no matter the age or how many kids you have. I know you got this❤️❤️❤️❤️ just know the hard days don’t last forever ❤️
I totally agree about the throw pillows. Young gals on YT have waaaay too many and they get thrown on floor! You are doing great and your mindset is so good for your peace and your future.
Yessss! Omg i am sooo glad I found you and I 100% agree! I love seeing normal lived in homes with normal messes like mine! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I'm so excited to follow your journey on here! ❤❤❤
Your home is absolutely beautiful. Create a seating group in your living space by taking the couches off the wall and bringing them to the center and making a proper seating area it changes the energy flow and usefulness of your space. But other than that your home is absolutely 100% stunning
I really enjoyed watching your video. Usually I don’t watch things like this cause I can’t relate to most people on social media who show an aesthetic beige and white and wealthy home. And I too have been wanting to do what your doing recording but I talk myself out of it thinking no one would watch or relate to me. Anyway I relate with you and your content. ❤
I would watch!! You should do it. I think the same thing because I don’t have a 2 or 3 story home with being an actual home and not a mobile home. I didn’t think anyone would want to watch either. Please start your channel girl and let me know and I’ll be one of your subscribers ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Girl I completely understand how you feel I live in a 2 br apt with me and my son. I’m a little neat freak so I always clean Saturday mornings but I usually put the house in place in the evening. After work being a mom and attending to home no social time. But I don’t make lots of money but don’t say poor please you are rich in love rich in home…rich in life. We can’t be all be rich but life is more than money especially when you have children who make it soo sweet. I only giving this advice cause I use to say i’m broke sometimes still be but I change my protective so my mind change snd happiness it’s ok to be normal Momma 💛
Hi Whitney,First time watching your blog,Hey girl u are the richest poor girl I know! U have a dishwasher!,your sink is great! My bedroom set is about forty years old…Oh I want a diffuser too🤷♀️Enjoy your family and u are beautiful,do not think of what u lack,be thankful for what u have and think positive read the “Secret” that gives me hope! You attract what u think!Proven scientifically,Think of good things and they will come! You are great!🤙♥️😊 Do not think less than…Your follower,Ev.🙋🏼♀️
Thank you so much. If you watch back you’ll see the old bedroom suite. It was given to us and we’ve had it for years then I painted it. And the sink is new we bought and installed our selfs. The sink was on sell for only 200 dollars. lol the diffuser is from Amazon for 30 dollars. lol thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️ in fact most of our stuff is either from family or really cheap or on sale from Walmart or Amazon. lol we have made some improvements when we had extra money to spare.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Grew up in mobile homes, my parents owned 3 through the years (first, 1965 single). Don't know quality in mobile homes now, but I can say mobile homes built before 2005 had better quality cabinets. My current house was built around the same time period as my parents mobile home and my builder grade cabinets were so cheap compared to what came in my parents home. My mom's cabinets still looked barely used and mine had the laminate peeling off. A lot also depends on how well you take care of them. Some are just so cheap it doesn't matter what you do, they will not stand up to use. Agree with you on the TH-camrs videos with the perfect house, perfect life. People hide a lot in social media.
I definitely this the older mobile homes were built better than they are now. I’ve always lived in mobile homes as well or really old houses. I moved a lot growing up. Definitely not as stable as my kids have been. Knock on wood lol you never know what life can throw at you 😂
Thanks for a realistic home clean with me video 😊 it's appreciated & keep pushing through I completely understand where you're coming from so prayers to you❤🫶🏾🙏🏾
Hi Whitney!😃 I'm just a poor Mom/person too, living in Pa in a double-wide mobile home, trying to keep things organized and clean! I completely understand you and I can't wait to see more videos!!🥰
I agree with you. I like to watch people's channels who are relatable to me. I see these cleaning channels who's home are perfect. I too don't have a lot of money for different cleaners. I go to dollar tree or family dollar. Thank u for sharing your life. My husband just retired so we are on a strict budget. I have to be careful what we spend. Everything is so expensive.
Yes everything is so expensive now!!! I don’t even know we make it. Much less than others who make less than us. Lord be with us all. Also keeping everyone who is experiencing the hurricane in my thoughts and if anyone who needs a place to go I’ll make a place for them.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just found you. Your videos are definitely being pushed out there-you are very relatable! I'm also tired of watching these perfect homes with no flaws. I wanna see chipped wood or dirt on the floor, an unwiped counter..these are all normal things in a household. Families struggling has become quite normal; we need to feel that we are not alone!!!
I'm glad i found your channel. New Subscriber🤗. Hey, from hawaii Island of Oahu, to be exact. Really enjoyed your video. Simple, happy living is my vibe 😌.
Hi I’ve just subscribed As soon as you mentioned real that won it for me I like genuine channels that don’t claim to have perfect lives and perfect homes, sending love from the uk 🇬🇧 xx
@@whitneygentry2947 you are so relatable I love your attitude. I always say you can’t take it all to the grave with you, we live in a very materialistic world. What a wonderful person you are xx
New subscriber here ! Hi there new friend ! Love that your so relatable and your showing that you don't need to have a Pintrest looking home to share your cleaning motivation. I find watching videos like yours motivating. You seem so sweet and I'm glad I found your channel! Keep keeping us motivated ! Great video❤
I’m so glad to have you here. Everyone is so sweet and kind here. Thank you so much! Yall really are such kind and supportive people. I truly feel like yall are my friends.
Hey lovely! I love to make cleaning videos too and my home is Tiny and messy! I struggle a lot to keep up with it but I know a lot of people do too so I leave the mess til I can deal, then I tend to film so I can help others and it helps me too because I love ti help Others but I get too much in my head and it’s hard to want to do it BUT I LOVE to be creative. But I feel it’s relatable for other moms struggling with mental health like me.. I tend to go MIA when I need to HIDE, rest and recover sometimes it’s hard to get yourself out of a dark hole BUT we do!! I love to see more relatable content so THANKYOU for Making this too ❤ lots of Love from the UK
I would scoot the couch forward and create a play space for the kids behind it and then the living room can be both but also if you're too tired you can toss the toys and sit in the living room without seeing it haha
Hi! New subscriber. I think youre my new favorite channel! You're one of a kind. I haven't come across anyone like you. You have my dream house. Small, and the necessities with a few splurges. Everything in your house is nice! I love the simple look. Stress free! I could say so much! ❤
New sub here! Thank you for making these videos. I live in a two-story house that was built in the early 1980's so you can imagine what I am dealing with. The house layout is all wrong (all the room is upstairs), the appliances are old and outdated and there is this God awful pink and blue wall paper in the kitchen, powder room and bathroom. The only new things in the house are the flooring and refrigerator. I can so relate to your video. I watch sooooo many cleaning channels and just am in awe of the houses. They may seem perfect, but I assure you, their lives are far from perfect. Just remember, content creators show you the good side of things which is what they are supposed to do, I guess. Your home is lovely and I would kill for your kitchen sink. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Hey, hey, thank you and I’m so glad to have you here. Your home sounds really awesome and cool. I’ve always dreamed of an older home and a 2 story. Thanks for your comment. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m agree with other TH-camrs being u relatable! I always have a relatable channel on TH-cam playing while I’m cleaning my house on the daily and I really need to have someone that knows what I’m going through too. A lot of folks have kids making the messes but for me I raise dogs (German short hair pointers as well as chihuahuas) so needless to say I’m cleaning all day long….dog prints on rainy days, kennels, hair, more hair and laundry! I take pride in my home NOT smelling like a dog and most folks that visit say I do a good job at it! It’s nice to see another minimalist too! Keep up the good work girl you’re doing fantastic!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the cabinets in the mobile home are falling apart though lol 😂 next weeks will be me showing this and how I’ve tried to fix them. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello. I just found your channel. I love your content. You tell it like it is. Pls stay true and authentic. You don’t find channels like yours. Sorry, so many fake YT creators, like they have everything. I stopped watching all those channels. Never feel bad where you live. You have a roof over your head, you have your health, and your lovely children. Stay yourself and I’ll be looking forward to your next video. Happy day to you and yours.
Just subscribed! I follow so many other people, but over the years, they have become completely unrelatable… I don’t want to watch someone that I can’t even relate to, you seem super down to earth and your home is loved and lived in! I’m loving it! Keep up the good work!
I buy fabuloso in the gallon bottle and in an empty spray bottle I put half fabuloso and half water. Works really well for walls and kitchen. I have 3 boys. I am new to your channel and you are right! It's hard to relate to those show homes that are already clean. ❤
I know what youre talking about .For years I thought the same way.I was a people pleaser and talking bad about myself.I have learned not to care so much and to love and like myself.
Wow. Just found your channel. I totally agree some creators are hard to relate to. One I sometimes watch does her hair and makeup and dresses nice then says let's deep clean ! I'm like wtf? I subscribed and can't wait to watch your videos. Your home is beautiful and so are you. BTW. I'm 56 and live in a studio apartment. I keep it very clean and I'm grateful. Anyone who has a roof over their head should be grateful. Comparison is the killer of joy.
My home really isn’t very big it kinda looks bigger than it is on camera but I also trick the eye because I don’t have much furniture or decor so it always looks empty lol I’m so grateful for what I have. Because growing up sometimes we didn’t know where we were going to live and be homeless and also lived in women’s shelter for abused women because we did run away from my abusive stepfather. I grew up sometimes not having water or electricity at some points in life lol so I feel very blessed now.
Hey! New subbie here. I am so happy I came across your channel. I really really love your your channel. I will be going back and watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Just found you im the same way 😂😅 i just can’t relate single mom too a two year old the most i do is the kitchen everynight and thats it im so glad i found you i relate so much! Also im minimal with cleaners too i basically just have glass cleaner , multipurpose cleaner , toilet cleaner and comet for the tub lol -edit also bleach for rare use tho lol
Great video. Thank you for your little talk. I have battled some of the things you are talking about. I enjoyed listening to someone who is not fake, lol Your home is nice by the way. I also live in a double wide home. I grew up in a single wide and have lived in them through the years. I think they are so cozy. Do you have a home tour on your channel? I have one posted of mine. We bought a 2024 Clayton Home. We love it. Thank you for sharing and I subscribed cause I want to see real stuff, lol. Blessings and have a good weekend. 🫶🤗❤️
😂😂😂 Oh girl! When you looked at the full and still wet clean dishes in the dishwasher when you're about to pack it with dirty dishes.. I just about died laughing because THIS IS A THING IN MY HOME AS WELL! 😂 And yes to the not having all the fancy cleaning tools and products!!!! Omg! I'm so happy to hear that someone else uses the basics and you are happy and content. Cuz I feel the same way. I totally hear you about all the struggles girl. I am 44 and have been dealing with perimenopausal symptoms for over 6 years now and they just have been awful this year. I've gained an enormous amount of weight in those 6 years. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life rn. I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are very relatable and I love that. ❤️❤️❤️
Same girl about the weight!! Thank you soo much for all the so sweet and kind words. I just wish the internet was more like real life and real people. I’m so glad you’re here.
I can certainly relate to your struggles ❤ some weeks are great and then sometimes it’s hard and hard to get back up. I’m fed up with fake social media content too!!!
Girl you're exactly right, the things we say to ourselves is the worst. You're the only one that can change your mind it doesn't matter how many people says you're a good mother you're beautiful a good wife a good housekeeper you have to tell it to yourself and change your thinking. And don't worry about your baby wanting to sleep near you it's normal my son sleep with us till he was 12 yes I'm not kidding 12. My husband hated it I loved it because I said it won't be like this forever now he's in his twenties and barely wants a hug for me LOL. Enjoy your babies it's very hard when you are under stress and depression I think most of the world is like that today though. Sorry I'm rambling LOL and also I don't know if you tried it but they do have Dr pepper with no sugar it's different than a diet Dr pepper I love the no sugar coat it is the closest thing to cope I've ever drank. Just a suggestion I think your home is beautiful I live in a mobile home too I know what you're saying about it falling apart mine is the same way. But I'm still grateful to have a roof over my head praise the Lord!
Get a sharpy marker and fill in the missing color on the cabinets. You need to have a conversation with your kids and let them know that they have to pick up because the clutter makes you unhappy and grouchy.
Hi Witney, new subscriber here! 🖐🏻🇬🇧 yes, I have anxiety and long term depression too, it’s debilitating, you can’t explain it, can you? I just wanted to say, your home is not poor! 😊 it would be considered very affluent in the U.K. so don’t worry about the “perfect” homes you’re looking at. Just a suggestion, have a break from those if you can, it’s unattainable for a start and just make you feel less, I agree, I’d love to see more Real homes. Take care lovely. Xx
Hello, just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I’m so tired of seeing the perfect homes & perfect looking lives as well. Although it’s motivating it can also be a little depressing watching the “plastics” all the time. I just keep in my mind that those people HAVE to have a behind the scenes nanny or cleaning service OR they got some type of mental illness because how is this real life ? So I appreciate the authenticity 😅
Yesss. Even when I make a play room or just leave all the toys in their rooms it just gets dragged back into the living room area. That’s okay I’m still finding what works for our family and working with their ages too.
Hi Whitney, just found your channel. I do the flylady cleaning method. I follow Flylady Kat on TH-cam, she has her version of the flylady, which is easier to follow. She has the easy morning and evening routines that you do daily. Then the zone cleaning that is weekly. You only spend 15 minutes in the zone each day. She does weekly live videos on Wednesday 930 Eastern time. There is a library of videos explaining the process. Her live videos are also saved so you can go back and watch if you miss her live. Also, using a planner to track your cleaning and decluttering. She has changed my life. I like your real life content.❤ New sub.
New Subscriber I have been dealing with depression to so I understand I live in a double wide to and you are right you don't have much storage in a double wide
I use pinesol with a little tide detergent mop floors smells amazing for windows and counters white vinegar a little dawn dish soap and water makes windows frig. Counters sparkle
I also forgot to mention, another super great relatable channel you may like is Marie Love Asbury. She lives in a small house in Georgia and has 4 kids as well. She has great ideas, super motivating and a great personality.
For real. I wanna see a real dirty home, not a 4000 sq foot McMansion. I have a 750 sq foot house in a crappy neighborhood lol. This makes me feel better.
your home doesnt seem small or dirty and it seems a lot closer to perfect than many homes ive been in. I guess i feel the same wayas you ... where are the homes like mine but yours is new or at least newly remodeled. My home is usually fairly clean but never looks it because its an old home and i dont have money to renovate. i guess this just made me feel worse because you sound like your home is so bad but to me its way better than mine. Good luck. but i think im going to look for someone in a reg old home so it will motivate me better. enjoy what u have. best wishes
That’s completely understandable. My camera really hides a lot of mess and how bad my cabinets are but next week I show how bad the bottom of my kitchen cabinets are. They are falling apart at the bottom. Sometimes you just can’t see everything on camera. I’m not complaining because it’s still home to us and is our home. Thanks for watching I hope you have a wonderful day.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! I’m so glad! That’s what I want. I want to show a real life and real home and not a big fancy home and a perfect person. I want the internet to be more with real people. That’s why I started this channel.
New follower! I don’t find your house small at all though, as my entire house could fit in your kitchen/ living room, with room to spare. 😅 Still too depressed to keep it clean though, so it’s nice to find a channel I can relate to. ❤️
Hey, hey!! 19 omg!! I’m not looking forward to that at all. Teen years are another level of scary lol I think the camera makes my mobile home look bigger than it is. It’s about 1,300 square feet. I’m so to be in a home this size because my last mobile home was about 800 feet I think. But I feel it’s small compared to some channels I follow. Some have basements and 2or 3 stories. I’m so grateful for what we have though and maybe we can be a home owner one day❤️
Gracefully, Grace would be one for you to relate with, and Marina from Fearfully created those are two channels that I watch. I love Marina just getting started with Grace
Mom likely is one of my favorite channels! She’s SUPER relatable and her videos are always very motivating. I also appreciate someone who shows a true “before” that’s actually messy.
Hey my friends sorry for being MIA for a while but you know depression can certainly take over your life. Thanks for watching today’s video I hope it’s helpful to you and it certainly has helped me by getting up and making myself do things again. Next week I’m cleaning the kids rooms because omg!!! They are a mess! I hope I gave yall someone you can relate too and also a normal home you can relate too as well

Hey girl I’m in Texas!!!
@@whitneygentry2947 hello from Brenham ❤️ I understand your not saying where your at for safety but one Texan to another we are tough 💪
Home Depot has stain pens for furniture scuffs and scratches. You can get one that would be a close match to your cabinets. It won't fix them, but will definitely make them look a little better.
We live in a mobile home too, I appreciate the real, relatable content. I think a lot of families are struggling nowadays.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So many ppl had homes filled with feet of water and destroyed, mine is small and a mess but I feel grateful to have one
I’m very grateful we have a home too. I can’t even imagine what they are going through.
You have SUCH a NICE kitchen/home!!!! You have top of the line countertops/appliances/sink!!!!
Amen sister. My home will never be Pinterest ready and i don't want it to be. Love the home you got, dust, dirt and all. Be grateful!
Yes 👏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I definitely this the older mobile homes were built better than they are now. I’ve always lived in mobile homes as well or really old houses. I moved a lot growing up. Definitely not as stable as my kids have been. Knock on wood lol you never know what life can throw at you 😂
Hi there from Australia! What a wonderful channel, really enjoy your videos🥰
Awwww!!! Thank you so much!! I hope it’s relatable and everyone leaves feeling good ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Am a new subscriber from Great Britain 🇬🇧..absolutely loved your video thank you look forward to seeing more ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey , hey thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for a realistic home clean with me video 😊 it's appreciated & keep pushing through I completely understand where you're coming from so prayers to you❤🫶🏾🙏🏾
Thank you soo much!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you thank you, this video put me in a better mood❤
Yay!! That’s what I want to hear! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just found your channel! I’m a regular mom too! And so is my house 💗
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Omg finally a real person ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Whitney!😃 I'm just a poor Mom/person too, living in Pa in a double-wide mobile home, trying to keep things organized and clean! I completely understand you and I can't wait to see more videos!!🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree with you. I like to watch people's channels who are relatable to me. I see these cleaning channels who's home are perfect. I too don't have a lot of money for different cleaners. I go to dollar tree or family dollar. Thank u for sharing your life. My husband just retired so we are on a strict budget. I have to be careful what we spend. Everything is so expensive.
Yes everything is so expensive now!!! I don’t even know we make it. Much less than others who make less than us. Lord be with us all. Also keeping everyone who is experiencing the hurricane in my thoughts and if anyone who needs a place to go I’ll make a place for them.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh yea your not alone. I have thoughts like that too.
Yes, thank you for letting me know. Sometimes it definitely feels that way lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
.... so good to see you Whitney...xx
Thank you sooo much I’m so glad to be doing this again!
You wanna say Hi…. Yeah❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Adorable
❤️
I just found you. Your videos are definitely being pushed out there-you are very relatable! I'm also tired of watching these perfect homes with no flaws. I wanna see chipped wood or dirt on the floor, an unwiped counter..these are all normal things in a household. Families struggling has become quite normal; we need to feel that we are not alone!!!
Yes, thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad i found your channel. New Subscriber🤗. Hey, from hawaii Island of Oahu, to be exact.
Really enjoyed your video. Simple, happy living is my vibe 😌.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi I’ve just subscribed
As soon as you mentioned real that won it for me
I like genuine channels that don’t claim to have perfect lives and perfect homes, sending love from the uk 🇬🇧 xx
Hey, hey!! Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to have you everyone who is my friends really truly are such sweet and kind people.❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@whitneygentry2947 you are so relatable
I love your attitude.
I always say you can’t take it all to the grave with you, we live in a very materialistic world.
What a wonderful person you are xx
New subscriber here ! Hi there new friend ! Love that your so relatable and your showing that you don't need to have a Pintrest looking home to share your cleaning motivation. I find watching videos like yours motivating. You seem so sweet and I'm glad I found your channel! Keep keeping us motivated ! Great video❤
I’m so glad to have you here. Everyone is so sweet and kind here. Thank you so much! Yall really are such kind and supportive people. I truly feel like yall are my friends.
You are not poor. You have a nice home good for you you have your own unlike us we dont have one. Just stay motivated and we got this mom. 🙏
lol we rent. Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your home is lovely and very homey ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your home and videos!! 🧡
Thank you soo much
Hey lovely! I love to make cleaning videos too and my home is Tiny and messy! I struggle a lot to keep up with it but I know a lot of people do too so I leave the mess til I can deal, then I tend to film so I can help others and it helps me too because I love ti help
Others but I get too much in my head and it’s hard to want to do it BUT I LOVE to be creative.
But I feel it’s relatable for other moms struggling with mental health like me.. I tend to go MIA when I need to HIDE, rest and recover sometimes it’s hard to get yourself out of a dark hole BUT we do!!
I love to see more relatable content so THANKYOU for
Making this too ❤ lots of
Love from the UK
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would scoot the couch forward and create a play space for the kids behind it and then the living room can be both but also if you're too tired you can toss the toys and sit in the living room without seeing it haha
I’ve tried that. She won’t play back behind the couch lol 🤷🏻♀️ I could always try it again tho
Glad your back
Thank you I’m trying to keep up.
I don’t blame you. I decorate for Christmas and that’s it. I don’t have anywhere to store all of that stuff.
Right it’s all more clutter!
Hi! New subscriber. I think youre my new favorite channel! You're one of a kind. I haven't come across anyone like you. You have my dream house. Small, and the necessities with a few splurges. Everything in your house is nice! I love the simple look. Stress free! I could say so much! ❤
Awwww!!! Thank you so much!! You’re too kind. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank u for being real ❤😊
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
New sub here! Thank you for making these videos. I live in a two-story house that was built in the early 1980's so you can imagine what I am dealing with. The house layout is all wrong (all the room is upstairs), the appliances are old and outdated and there is this God awful pink and blue wall paper in the kitchen, powder room and bathroom. The only new things in the house are the flooring and refrigerator. I can so relate to your video. I watch sooooo many cleaning channels and just am in awe of the houses. They may seem perfect, but I assure you, their lives are far from perfect. Just remember, content creators show you the good side of things which is what they are supposed to do, I guess. Your home is lovely and I would kill for your kitchen sink. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Hey, hey, thank you and I’m so glad to have you here. Your home sounds really awesome and cool. I’ve always dreamed of an older home and a 2 story. Thanks for your comment. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
New here your home looks big…… and really nice too.
Thank you. I think it is just because it’s pretty empty and I don’t decorate because I like it to be more empty
I’m agree with other TH-camrs being u relatable! I always have a relatable channel on TH-cam playing while I’m cleaning my house on the daily and I really need to have someone that knows what I’m going through too.
A lot of folks have kids making the messes but for me I raise dogs (German short hair pointers as well as chihuahuas) so needless to say I’m cleaning all day long….dog prints on rainy days, kennels, hair, more hair and laundry! I take pride in my home NOT smelling like a dog and most folks that visit say I do a good job at it!
It’s nice to see another minimalist too!
Keep up the good work girl you’re doing fantastic!
Hey girl!!! I’m so glad you’re here!
“Living with Cambriea” is relatable
I agree she is my favorite
Love your bedroom set❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you I painted it in one of my videos
You have a beautiful home😊 ❤
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the cabinets in the mobile home are falling apart though lol 😂 next weeks will be me showing this and how I’ve tried to fix them. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello. I just found your channel. I love your content. You tell it like it is. Pls stay true and authentic. You don’t find channels like yours. Sorry, so many fake YT creators, like they have everything. I stopped watching all those channels. Never feel bad where you live. You have a roof over your head, you have your health, and your lovely children. Stay yourself and I’ll be looking forward to your next video. Happy day to you and yours.
Awwww!!! Thank you soo much!!! I’ll be looking for you on my next video!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm new to your channel and you are exactly right about clutter I don't decorate for every single thing ❤
Right!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just subscribed! I follow so many other people, but over the years, they have become completely unrelatable… I don’t want to watch someone that I can’t even relate to, you seem super down to earth and your home is loved and lived in! I’m loving it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! That’s exactly how I feel about most of the internet now. I’m so glad you’re here❤️❤️❤️❤️
I buy fabuloso in the gallon bottle and in an empty spray bottle I put half fabuloso and half water. Works really well for walls and kitchen. I have 3 boys. I am new to your channel and you are right! It's hard to relate to those show homes that are already clean. ❤
I do the same with pine sol lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
your hair is so pretty!
Thank sooooo much!!! I did myself ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know what youre talking about .For years I thought the same way.I was a people pleaser and talking bad about myself.I have learned not to care so much and to love and like myself.
Yes, thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are me! I'm poor, live in a double wide, and am a mom. I'm old though and my house is a wreck! Lol
Welcome!!! My house is always a wreck lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️
New subscriber u have a beautiful home I stay in a mobile home and I love it ❤❤
Thank you soo much!
New subscriber here! Love how real you are!
Thank you soo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤ you 🥰🥰!!!!
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just came across your channel! Thank you for being a normal channel!
Thank you!! ❤️
Looks amazing
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Just found your channel. I totally agree some creators are hard to relate to. One I sometimes watch does her hair and makeup and dresses nice then says let's deep clean ! I'm like wtf?
I subscribed and can't wait to watch your videos.
Your home is beautiful and so are you.
BTW. I'm 56 and live in a studio apartment. I keep it very clean and I'm grateful. Anyone who has a roof over their head should be grateful. Comparison is the killer of joy.
My home really isn’t very big it kinda looks bigger than it is on camera but I also trick the eye because I don’t have much furniture or decor so it always looks empty lol I’m so grateful for what I have. Because growing up sometimes we didn’t know where we were going to live and be homeless and also lived in women’s shelter for abused women because we did run away from my abusive stepfather. I grew up sometimes not having water or electricity at some points in life lol so I feel very blessed now.
It's tough but keep going.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey! New subbie here. I am so happy I came across your channel. I really really love your your channel. I will be going back and watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad to have you here!!! Everyone is soo sweet and I truly feel like yall are my friends so thanks for joining. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
New Subscriber! Girl my old farmhouse is so small and I swear it’s falling apart. I’m poor a mom of 4 but I feel normal until I watch TH-cam 😢
Right!!! Same!
I'm a new subscriber, and I loved your video exactly what I was looking for. Some taste of really 👏👏👏👏
Thank so you!!! I’m so glad to have you as one of my friends!
Just found you im the same way 😂😅 i just can’t relate single mom too a two year old the most i do is the kitchen everynight and thats it im so glad i found you i relate so much! Also im minimal with cleaners too i basically just have glass cleaner , multipurpose cleaner , toilet cleaner and comet for the tub lol
-edit also bleach for rare use tho lol
So glad to have you here! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video. Thank you for your little talk. I have battled some of the things you are talking about. I enjoyed listening to someone who is not fake, lol Your home is nice by the way. I also live in a double wide home. I grew up in a single wide and have lived in them through the years. I think they are so cozy. Do you have a home tour on your channel? I have one posted of mine. We bought a 2024 Clayton Home. We love it. Thank you for sharing and I subscribed cause I want to see real stuff, lol.
Blessings and have a good weekend. 🫶🤗❤️
Welcome girl!!!! I’m so glad to have someone else with a double wide. I’m so glad you’re here!
😂😂😂 Oh girl! When you looked at the full and still wet clean dishes in the dishwasher when you're about to pack it with dirty dishes.. I just about died laughing because THIS IS A THING IN MY HOME AS WELL! 😂 And yes to the not having all the fancy cleaning tools and products!!!! Omg! I'm so happy to hear that someone else uses the basics and you are happy and content. Cuz I feel the same way. I totally hear you about all the struggles girl. I am 44 and have been dealing with perimenopausal symptoms for over 6 years now and they just have been awful this year. I've gained an enormous amount of weight in those 6 years. I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life rn. I can relate to a lot of what you are saying. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You are very relatable and I love that. ❤️❤️❤️
Same girl about the weight!! Thank you soo much for all the so sweet and kind words. I just wish the internet was more like real life and real people. I’m so glad you’re here.
I can certainly relate to your struggles ❤ some weeks are great and then sometimes it’s hard and hard to get back up. I’m fed up with fake social media content too!!!
Yess!!! Same! I’m sick of the fake social media content too!!
@@whitneygentry2947 it’s so bad lately!!!!
Girl you're exactly right, the things we say to ourselves is the worst. You're the only one that can change your mind it doesn't matter how many people says you're a good mother you're beautiful a good wife a good housekeeper you have to tell it to yourself and change your thinking. And don't worry about your baby wanting to sleep near you it's normal my son sleep with us till he was 12 yes I'm not kidding 12. My husband hated it I loved it because I said it won't be like this forever now he's in his twenties and barely wants a hug for me LOL. Enjoy your babies it's very hard when you are under stress and depression I think most of the world is like that today though. Sorry I'm rambling LOL and also I don't know if you tried it but they do have Dr pepper with no sugar it's different than a diet Dr pepper I love the no sugar coat it is the closest thing to cope I've ever drank. Just a suggestion I think your home is beautiful I live in a mobile home too I know what you're saying about it falling apart mine is the same way. But I'm still grateful to have a roof over my head praise the Lord!
You’re absolutely right. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Get a sharpy marker and fill in the missing color on the cabinets. You need to have a conversation with your kids and let them know that they have to pick up because the clutter makes you unhappy and grouchy.
I definitely do let them know multiple times a day lol my oldest is a perfectionist like me I’m still hoping it will rub off on the others too🤷🏻♀️
Hi Witney, new subscriber here! 🖐🏻🇬🇧 yes, I have anxiety and long term depression too, it’s debilitating, you can’t explain it, can you? I just wanted to say, your home is not poor! 😊 it would be considered very affluent in the U.K. so don’t worry about the “perfect” homes you’re looking at. Just a suggestion, have a break from those if you can, it’s unattainable for a start and just make you feel less, I agree, I’d love to see more Real homes. Take care lovely. Xx
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the way you think😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello, just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I’m so tired of seeing the perfect homes & perfect looking lives as well. Although it’s motivating it can also be a little depressing watching the “plastics” all the time. I just keep in my mind that those people HAVE to have a behind the scenes nanny or cleaning service OR they got some type of mental illness because how is this real life ? So I appreciate the authenticity 😅
Yes.. man I wish we had a nanny lol
My kids always played in living room but we picked up when done as they got older they had simple chores believe me earlier on you
Yesss. Even when I make a play room or just leave all the toys in their rooms it just gets dragged back into the living room area. That’s okay I’m still finding what works for our family and working with their ages too.
Hi Whitney, just found your channel. I do the flylady cleaning method. I follow Flylady Kat on TH-cam, she has her version of the flylady, which is easier to follow. She has the easy morning and evening routines that you do daily. Then the zone cleaning that is weekly. You only spend 15 minutes in the zone each day. She does weekly live videos on Wednesday 930 Eastern time. There is a library of videos explaining the process. Her live videos are also saved so you can go back and watch if you miss her live. Also, using a planner to track your cleaning and decluttering. She has changed my life. I like your real life content.❤ New sub.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally the perfect video for me... trust me I could relate....you my new best friend lol well subscriber I guess 💗🙏 you not alone please know that 🥰
Hey friend welcome, I’m so glad to have you. Thank you soo much !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Take your throw blankets and buy a pillowcase that zips up and there you go you got a decorative pillow and it saves money
It all ends up on the floor lol I feel like I’m over it all lol 😂. Kinda want to get rid of it all 😂
New Subscriber I have been dealing with depression to so I understand I live in a double wide to and you are right you don't have much storage in a double wide
Yes we don’t have any storage! Ugh 😩 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would not consider you poor Thank you for sharing your lifestyle in your videos
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I use pinesol with a little tide detergent mop floors smells amazing for windows and counters white vinegar a little dawn dish soap and water makes windows frig. Counters sparkle
I love doing that. It does smell soooo goooodd!!! Pine sol is a go to smell for sure.
I also forgot to mention, another super great relatable channel you may like is Marie Love Asbury. She lives in a small house in Georgia and has 4 kids as well. She has great ideas, super motivating and a great personality.
I’ll have to check her out!
For real. I wanna see a real dirty home, not a 4000 sq foot McMansion. I have a 750 sq foot house in a crappy neighborhood lol. This makes me feel better.
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️ my house is only 1,300 square feet. I know what you mean
your home doesnt seem small or dirty and it seems a lot closer to perfect than many homes ive been in. I guess i feel the same wayas you ... where are the homes like mine but yours is new or at least newly remodeled. My home is usually fairly clean but never looks it because its an old home and i dont have money to renovate. i guess this just made me feel worse because you sound like your home is so bad but to me its way better than mine. Good luck. but i think im going to look for someone in a reg old home so it will motivate me better. enjoy what u have. best wishes
That’s completely understandable. My camera really hides a lot of mess and how bad my cabinets are but next week I show how bad the bottom of my kitchen cabinets are. They are falling apart at the bottom. Sometimes you just can’t see everything on camera. I’m not complaining because it’s still home to us and is our home. Thanks for watching I hope you have a wonderful day.❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can relate you
Thank you!! I’m so glad! That’s what I want. I want to show a real life and real home and not a big fancy home and a perfect person. I want the internet to be more with real people. That’s why I started this channel.
New follower! I don’t find your house small at all though, as my entire house could fit in your kitchen/ living room, with room to spare. 😅 Still too depressed to keep it clean though, so it’s nice to find a channel I can relate to. ❤️
Okay, and just realized you also have a six foot Tristan!! 😂 Extra relatable! Mine is 19 though.
Hey, hey!! 19 omg!! I’m not looking forward to that at all. Teen years are another level of scary lol I think the camera makes my mobile home look bigger than it is. It’s about 1,300 square feet. I’m so to be in a home this size because my last mobile home was about 800 feet I think. But I feel it’s small compared to some channels I follow. Some have basements and 2or 3 stories. I’m so grateful for what we have though and maybe we can be a home owner one day❤️
My cabinets are the same i live in a modular home ,similar to yours
Yes , welcome!!
You can get furniture pens to touch up❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I still have pain from when I painted it but just doing it lol 😂
Get you a basket for your blankets
That’s a great idea ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gracefully, Grace would be one for you to relate with, and Marina from Fearfully created those are two channels that I watch. I love Marina just getting started with Grace
I’ll have to check her out. Thanks ❤️
Mom likely is one of my favorite channels! She’s SUPER relatable and her videos are always very motivating. I also appreciate someone who shows a true “before” that’s actually messy.
Yes I’ll have to check her out! Thank you for the recommendation ❤️❤️❤️❤️
