I gave my children's bedrooms a deep deep clean got rid of everything they didn't play with or want. I have a rule now if they bring something out of their room they are to take it back and put it away, anything laying around goes in the bin it's working so far, I have started on our bedroom nothing belonging in a bedroom has to find a place in the house or it's gone. Walking into those rooms brings me peace and I know the rest of the family are enjoying how calmer I'm feeling. It's a long journey I know I will get to the end.
I’m so glad I found your channel!!! I’m so sick of watching these “watch me clean this disaster” and literally they have 3 pieces of mail on the counter and a Starbucks. Hope you don’t take offense to that! I feel this is what half of homes really look like.
I was just about to write the same thing!!! Influencers with minimalist homes that do a declutter video and all they have is a book on the table and a pair of shoes in the living room. This video is honest and real and just what I need to motivate me!
I just subscribed for that exact reason above. Those perfect influencer homes feel like an impossible standard. I'm a working mom, so there's no way I can work full-time and household full-time. I can only do so much.
Just got my home back, my mom had been living with us for the last two years, she is not disabled, and is 68 years old, she just wanted to live with us so she didn't have to cook or clean. She made a huge mess and it was too much for me, my hubby noticed she was being emotionally and verbally abusive towards me (he works graveyard so he sleeps during daytime and doesn't get to see or hear a lot) he finally saw a lot when he got covid and had to stay home. So he told her she needed to find another place to live. My younger brother who is 43 went with her. Now we are going through both of those rooms and the bathroom. It feels good to declutter all of the stuff they left behind and to deep clean everything. Even washing the walls. It is like Cleaning out the negative feelings and letting go. Also the house is feeling so much airier and lighter. The energy is positive.
Thank you for these videos. Between my anxiety and depression, I really struggle with cleaning my home. My OCD makes me think that if it can’t be 100% perfect, I can’t do it at all. I was just able to tackle a really embarrassingly bad part of my kitchen- something I’ve been putting off for months. These videos give me encouragement to get things done little by little!
I am a full-time caregiver. I operate on 2 to 4 hrs sleep.always exhausted mentally and physically throw in there health issues of my own ...I'm sleep deprivation poster child.I also know how blessed I am to be able to push and take care of my beloved as he slowly fades away. I had 3 children, all grown and I don't recall ever feeling this exhausted..I want to thank you for inspiration after a hard week..even if I get one corner clean it's a push forward...and forward is good. I should never compare myself to others .we all have our struggles and our own full plates 💪💝🌞🙏🕊🥰
@@ivysmith7288 yes and thank you and I've got more now...during Ian or sunroom flooded...I stopped counting at 38 gallons of water bailed out by hand with no electricity...the dog came in and had so much fun chasing her pool toys about...I had to laugh she wasn't upset she had a indoor pool.Birdie no different than a toddler making a game out of what most of us sit and cry over...on the up side that floor has never been cleaner😉🤣.
Thank You for your video I suffer from PTSD, Depression with anxiety. I will watch all the ones I haven’t seen, you have given me the strength to realize that I can do this
Thank you. From a fellow momma of 4 with anxiety, MDD, PTSD, OCD it can be rough. In my head I can't stop cleaning, it becomes obsessive. But only God gets me through it
Thank you for normalizing the struggle with being scattered as a mom. I can so relate! (Particularly with letting a suitcase sit for far too long before unpacking lol 😅😂) I’m also working toward minimalism, which is likely why this video was recommended for me. Thanks for sharing your real life progress!
I just had a baby 3 months ago and my house is ALWAYS a mess. Depression and anxiety plus ppd... this messy mama needed this motivation so thank you for your content!
Welcome back, you have helped me through decluttering my house. I also have anxiety and depression. You are in my prayers. Thank you for your videos. God bless.
You are such an inspiration for us woman, I also am I my mid 40s and have been healing spiritual and have most of the same goals as you, it's so nice to be able to follow along with you and know your not alone.
Glad that you are back. Sorry for your loss and all the “STUFF’ you are going through. You have to take care of you my friend, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you through the life journey. I currently am struggling with stuff and I am taking care of my 6mth old grandson. I had almost forgotten those baby days but I survived. I hope you have a blessed week and it is good to see you back❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️🌻🌷🌻🌷🌻I’m 60 and I love the motivation and encouragement from your videos.
Aahh. My favorite sight. A clean kitchen! I know I struggle to keep my clean. But what a feeling of accomplishment. Glad to see you again. Hang in there Mama!
I love how you say it will always be there the next day. Bc honestly you can clean it up but it’ll be there the next day regardless bc we cook! Sometimes we just have to say I’m not doing it right now and give ourselves some grace bc it’s never ending! Yes a clean kitchen feels wonderful but it really lasts 5 minutes lol.
You are doing a wonderful job! I feel like nothing can be perfect but it can be as good as we can do for our family at the time we are doing it. Stress and depression can weigh a lot on us. I feel it helps to do a little, then when I need a break, I what these videos and it motivates me to do more. What you are doing is really helping others just get the motivation to continue on! It’s wonderful 😘
I can’t thank you enough for these videos, I’m not a mom but I need some serious motivation during my depressive episodes. These make me feel like I’m not alone
Glad your back. Find your videos very motivated and help me not beat myself up if I don't get it all done at once. I tackle what I can and I make sure I do something everyday
Omg I needed this. The length of it, the real mess of having a family. Everything. I’m not even gonna watch I’m gonna listen while I clean. Thank you 🙏
Well done! Love those clear bench feels! Great to see you back! We always try to keep our kitchen bench clear now. As soon as there's one thing on the bench we put it away otherwise it creates clutter. My mind feels more at ease with a clean kitchen and dining area. Everything has a place which helps too. Can't wait to see your decluttering videos!!
Omg...this brings me so much motivation 😍 i have so much clutter on my kitchen counters and a hallway too, I live in a very small 2bedroom apt with four grandchildren and its been very overwhelming to get it organized, I'm stressing all the time, but your video's are a great help🙋♀️ hopefully tomorrow i can start on my hallway, because its the first thing I see when I get out of my room. Thanks💕💕
You are amazing to be looking after your grandchildren! All the best, you are making a huge difference in their lives. I lived with my dad and his parents from about 3 to 7 and it made a HUGE impact on my life (Im 57). Grandparents are the BEST! love from Brisbane Qld Australia x
That’s how my house is all the time! No matter how much I clean it doesn’t look like I’ve done anything. And I’ve got 4 kids and my husband recently passed away in February so it’s even harder now. The struggle is real 😬
Sorry for your loss♥️ don't give yourself a hard time. My house is the same too. 4 kids from 17-4 yrs old. I'm trying to focus on the things I do and have done rather than the stuff I havn't done. This lady is helping me so much the last week. It's crazy how watching another mama in a similar situation, clean her house, motivates me so much. We'll get there in the end.
I go through my house every so often and do small decluttering tasks.. just like the spots that always seem to gather clutter. But as new years resolution I decided to do a major declutter and went through every single space in my house. While you were gone I ticked of the last task on the list which were the kitchen cupboards..I think I'm lucky I have anything left to cook with 😂
It's not about being a mom, is about being desorganized and a hoarder. First step is not cleaning, is declutter and stop spending money in things you don't need ... do you colect wooden spoons, cutting tables, scissors? How many mugs does a family need? We are 4 at home and have 6 mugs. Just have to wash dishes everyday, so easy
iam done with decluttering for 4 years now. but everytime i see someone decluttering i want to go and find something to declutter. keep on going your house going to feel amazing when you done it and then you begin round to, three and so. the things that you held on in your first round you can decluttering in a next round. happy for you.
Thankyou for this video I really needed it. My sons daycare centre shut down with next to no notice so we’ve been stuck at home and I’ve been off work for nearly a week. For 4 days of the week I’ve been deathly sick with the flu along with my son so the housework just piled. I’m also a single mom and I’ve had no one to help me. I finally started feeling better today so decided to put this on and smash out 3 loads of laundry that needed folding. Now I have the motivation to keep going with the rest of the house so Thankyou ❤️
Oh girl I know how that can be. The house can go so chaotic when kids are home all day! Lol! Summer time currently in my house. Trying to stay on top of these kids doing house chores and then having to reclean the stuff they didnt do to my standards. Lol! The struggle is real! You are not alone! I see you Mama! You got this! Stay Mighty!🤍🙏💪
The best thing I ever did was massively declutter and be super strict about what stays and what goes. The messes don’t pile up and are so much more manageable when they do! Even kitchen decor was visibly taking up space and mental space! So when you do declutter - declutter fiercely! You’ve got this!! Glad you’re back! Missed you!
I recently spent 4 solid hours only cleaning/ decluttering my kitchen and guese what it's messy again every day it gets messy I chuck stuff in the bin - do the dishes etc clean counters bit it's never ending! That's where my motivation just ups and leaves!
I was delighted to get a notification of a new video from you!! Right now we are packing to move, and trying to do all the moving things and all the mama things is so overwhelming!
I finally! A typical looking house that’s really lived in. The only house cleaning videos I come across, are not actually what I consider the majority of homes. Most are these big houses dirty with a few clothes and a few dishes or homes that really doesn’t have a lot of stuff. Thank you!
I think 🤔 I’d chuck out the excess plastic ware and utensils in the kitchen The cupboards are overflowing Too much stuff Less is best Great channel But continual excess kitchen clutter Have a good week and recycle the plastic. It will help
Goodness…I NEEDED to see this! I hit rock bottom I’m SO many ways. I let everything go, nothing mattered. I have been working on things, but now I have to get things started. I shuffle from room to room stuff NEVER seems to change!! I’m going to watch other videos of yours!! Thank you SO much friend!
Rage cleaning🤣. I hear you! I never ever miss the items I get rid of. As far as the craft items, you can always try and donate to a preschool if you feel like they have some value and you don’t want to just throw them away. Then again if that just takes too much effort and it stays in the house longer, just get rid of it.
good luck on your journey! sadly people have sooo much stuff they never or very seldom use and the kicker is they often continue to buy stuff they don't really need and cram their houses and closets full, plastics, gadgets, clothes, until they need even more space for useless stuff, it's overwhelming. It's a vicious cycle. It's bad for their mental health, for their finances and for the environment. Watched a documentary once of a company who goes into dead peoples homes to clear them out and relatives often want less than 5% of their belongings, so 95% goes straight into the trash.
I’m glad to see you back. I’ve decluttering my home and feels so great. It’s organized and feeling so good. I’m so sorry for your loss.your house looks so amazing.
Still replaying your videos and getting on with my house move. You are the driving force helping me through this. Crazy how you can help me so much from the other side of the pond! ♥️
Sometimes having a lot of things can make it hard to be organised. If you're overwhelmed start small. One room at a time. Sort the room and find a spot for everything. If it doesn't have a spot, don't keep it. Don't try to tackle it all at once or it'll feel to much. Happy cleaning everyone.
I just binge watched a bunch of your videos and new subscribed. You do not talk too much. You are a joy to engage with. Thank you for heeding God’s call to share this content. Sorry for your family loss. You are awesome, lady!
potatoes exposed to the light like this will go green. Green potatoes will make you vomit and have to be thrown out. Consider lining your black wire baskets with a drawstring hesion sack. Fantastic job!
Oh my goodness I have just subscribed to you and absolutely love watching your videos. I totally agree with cleaning your house cleanses your mind as I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD and OCD so being in control of your cleaning routine and trying to keep on top of things is my biggest daily achievement. Your have inspired me and I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos. Thank you for being here for us and for being real. I am also going through my own spiritual and emotional journey and I now don’t feel so alone ❤️
So happy to see you back! Been wondering how you have been doing, loving the cleaning motivation, your videos are always so satisfying! Have a good day!
I get this. My dad died unexpectedly and I was totally numb for a week. I couldn't think. It was a good thing my car knew the way to my job and home. So I totally get how homes get this way.
I so appreciate this video, totally understand personal time off…I’m 70 with anxiety and depression , but getting much better, I’m trying to work on decluttering my closets and bedroom. You have given me inspiration to get started, little at a time…take care…thank you ❣️
Hi Laura, so good to see you're back! ❤ I missed your videos so much and I can't wait to see that decluttering video and the live streams! When you're cleaning, I almost feel like my home is being at least half cleaned at the same time 😀 Keep up the good work! Love, Minna from Finland
The thing about decluttering is it never ends, it gets easier and more minimal but as we move through life we end up with stuff and it needs upkeep. I do it per season or when an area is getting on my nerves. That kitchen especially looks amazing now
If you pray 🙏 pray for me! I have Lupus, my medicine keeps increasing and my husband is getting decreasing hours at work. Stressed out about it and stress is a trigger for other things I have with my anxiety.
Your selection of music is 🎯 🎶 and your words of affirmation are truly heart-felt💖 Taking time off social media/videos is sometimes necessary. We ladies often struggle with self care. We have to remember we can't pour from an empty cup.
I'm so glad to see you back, don't feel bad about taking time off to take care of yourself❤ I love a good rage clean; it's so satisfying in the moment! My only problem is all the movement flares up my chronic illnesses and I'm in a lot of pain afterwards, but at least my house feels a little less overwhelming while I'm recovering.
I am glad you are back! Once again sorry for your loss. Your kitchen looks so nice, you did an amazing job. I have been decluttering little by little and still on my decluttering journey. Thank you for your videos, they truly are appreciated and inspiring.
I know this video is from 2 months ago , but I just wanted to let you know that I was just watching it while cleaning and your words have really inspired me. About how therapeutic cleaning is for anxiety and depression, I’ve been going through a pretty bad episode lately and haven’t cleaned in so long. Last week I started trying to push through it and little by little I’ve been making progress and decluttering but sometimes I forget how much better it feels to get it all done no matter how difficult it is to get started. I love this video because you reminded me all of that. Thank you ❤️
Oh this cleaning was amazing! My english is not the best,but I hope you all understand me😅when i was a child,our house was a mess most of the time, because my Mama was depressed too i think,but she never talked about it..anyway she was and is the best mum i could Image.I am the complete opposite and clean everyday and sometimes i have to stop myself not doing so much.That sucks too,when you are not able to relax,so i work on it. You are great Laura,i wish you the best ❤️ god bless you and your loved ones
I clean my stove probably 98% of the time but ever since getting a gas stove I dread it. I still do it but I hate it because of the grates. Mine are three long ones bc it’s a five burner. Blame not cleaning your stove on the grates because they are a good excuse!!!
Wow! I'm so glad you finally got rid of cups you don't use!!! That cabinet looks so much better. People always gifted my mom mugs for Christmas, but she got rid of 80% of them a few years ago and her kitchen is so much easier to navigate around. And she moved like four Christmas mugs to the bottom of one of her kitchen shelves, and she gets them out for Christmas eve every year to make us hot coco. You don't need mugs out all year round. Your cabinet seriously looks so much more functional and practical. The cabinet looks so much better! I think she only has two mugs in her cabinet because she just cleans the one she uses every morning so she uses the same one and has one for guests. Makes sense.
Not being negative at all, just coming from a perspective of a single mom on a budget...so I love norwex cleaning clothes over the paper towels- way more effective 😀 also, I use an enzyme cleaner that's odorless & even edible..spray on stove/microwave & give it 5 minutes soak 😉wipes right off. Thanks for your motivation & tips!!
So sorry about your loss, I know this is an old video. You sound excited about some new things going on in your life. That’s great! It’s 3:45 a.m. and I am awake watching you. I have done some paperwork like paying bills. If I can get to sleep I have plans on cleaning out my fridge and cleaning off my kitchen counters. Then I can mop the kitchen floor. I should be able to this all in one day and still make some dinner. I am telling myself I will not be as depressed if I get all of that done. Next clean the living room and dust. I love that you are doing Green Chief, and hope it continues to work for you. Blessings to you and all of your subscribers! ❤
Your comment is very timely- I think we are a hoarding humanity. The more we have the more disorganized we get n that makes us lose what we had so we buy more. Asaahhhhh. I am also not consistent. After 40 yes of being married I can only fix the worst bad habits- can’t be perfect. 😄 Great job!! Kudos to you!
Just observation, because I've been there. I see a full cabinet of cups and I see you still filled the entire top of dishwasher. Getting rid of half of those and cutting it back to two total loads of dishes is a game changer. Meaning one load of dishwasher filled with cups, plates bowls eating spoons/forks. (That's one load full) then one load of pots pans. Anything more than that is really excess and only allows us to pile dirty dishes. This way you have a constant cycle daily. Of clean/dirty and never overflowing.
I want to tell you what helps me. Soon as I get up, I shower. Then, I grab everything that I can and throw it in the washer. I start my cleaning and I feel like I've killed three birds with one stone. It doesn't matter if I have 20 pieces of laundry in the washer or 10 pieces. It's that way of saying that I'm getting things done. While they're washing, I get busy.
New subscriber, I love cleaning videos motivation. I liked that you've filmed while emptying the kitchen trash around 15:00 and even dumped the bag in a larger one haha I always find it so satisfying to see anything get discarded while cleaning and the trash emptied and taken away from home. Also because I struggle to discard many things like any old clothes that can't be donated so I always hope someone will need to discard one of those things to give me motivation when they film that part 🤭
I love your real videos. No one else is as real as you. Thank you. To give you more space where ur dining table is you should put the short end of the table against the bannister and it create more room and a flooring affect in that area.
Thanks for the motivation! Your kitchen and dining area looked soooo soooo good after you were done! Great work! During the video I folded laundry, reset my living room and parts of my kitchen. Thanks again for the motivation!!
Cleaning calms my anxiety and right now I'm struggling to keep up with my home, I had forgotten how hard it is to clean a house with a newborn needing my constant attention. I love my baby but hate my anxiety.
Glad to see you back! Yep...real life. It's hard but we can do this 💪 one of my struggles lately is I've really been lacking motivation to cook. My kitchen gets bad so fast and then I just don't want to mess it up again lol. But gotta eat and kids eat a lot!
Shannon I feel you girl! I get so much anxiety and discouragement when I think about cooking too. As you said the fact that its another mess to clean and then to even figure out what to cook. That is why I do love my meal kits. They help take the edge off some weeks. Thank you for being here. Stay Mighty!🤍💪🙏
I gave my children's bedrooms a deep deep clean got rid of everything they didn't play with or want.

Yes girl I am feeling this way as well! Doing the kids room makeover has made me realize that Less is More for them. Thank you for being here! 🤍🙏💪
I totally felt this! I’ve been doing the same!

Yes what they said!! I agree as well. My house looks a lot more like this than most other cleaning motivation videos 😊
I can't stand videos where they TRY to clean up their already CLEAN house.
Just got my home back, my mom had been living with us for the last two years, she is not disabled, and is 68 years old, she just wanted to live with us so she didn't have to cook or clean. She made a huge mess and it was too much for me, my hubby noticed she was being emotionally and verbally abusive towards me (he works graveyard so he sleeps during daytime and doesn't get to see or hear a lot) he finally saw a lot when he got covid and had to stay home.

That’s how my house is all the time! No matter how much I clean it doesn’t look like I’ve done anything. And I’ve got 4 kids and my husband recently passed away in February so it’s even harder now. The struggle is real 😬
Sorry for your loss♥️ don't give yourself a hard time. My house is the same too. 4 kids from 17-4 yrs old. I'm trying to focus on the things I do and have done rather than the stuff I havn't done. This lady is helping me so much the last week. It's crazy how watching another mama in a similar situation, clean her house, motivates me so much. We'll get there in the end.
I go through my house every so often and do small decluttering tasks.. just like the spots that always seem to gather clutter.
But as new years resolution I decided to do a major declutter and went through every single space in my house.
While you were gone I ticked of the last task on the list which were the kitchen cupboards..I think I'm lucky I have anything left to cook with 😂
So glad that you are back!! Hope you are feeling better. Just want you to know that your videos really help me go through my moments of more anxiety
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you so much!🤍💪🙏
When you was cleaning your table, your space just looked so calm and peaceful! Love it
It's not about being a mom, is about being desorganized and a hoarder. First step is not cleaning, is declutter and stop spending money in things you don't need ... do you colect wooden spoons, cutting tables, scissors? How many mugs does a family need? We are 4 at home and have 6 mugs. Just have to wash dishes everyday, so easy
I absolutely love your videos ❤️. Please keep them coming and thank you so much for your honesty on how your house is lived in. You are amazing!
iam done with decluttering for 4 years now. but everytime i see someone decluttering i want to go and find something to declutter. keep on going your house going to feel amazing when you done it and then you begin round to, three and so. the things that you held on in your first round you can decluttering in a next round. happy for you.
Thankyou for this video I really needed it. My sons daycare centre shut down with next to no notice so we’ve been stuck at home and I’ve been off work for nearly a week. For 4 days of the week I’ve been deathly sick with the flu along with my son so the housework just piled. I’m also a single mom and I’ve had no one to help me. I finally started feeling better today so decided to put this on and smash out 3 loads of laundry that needed folding. Now I have the motivation to keep going with the rest of the house so Thankyou ❤️
Oh girl I know how that can be. The house can go so chaotic when kids are home all day! Lol! Summer time currently in my house. Trying to stay on top of these kids doing house chores and then having to reclean the stuff they didnt do to my standards. Lol! The struggle is real! You are not alone! I see you Mama! You got this! Stay Mighty!🤍🙏💪
😘
This is my first time watching your videos. And you are saying so much truth. I’m exhausted and frustrated. And watching you I can definitely relate.
The best thing I ever did was massively declutter and be super strict about what stays and what goes. The messes don’t pile up and are so much more manageable when they do! Even kitchen decor was visibly taking up space and mental space! So when you do declutter - declutter fiercely! You’ve got this!! Glad you’re back! Missed you!
I recently spent 4 solid hours only cleaning/ decluttering my kitchen and guese what it's messy again every day it gets messy I chuck stuff in the bin - do the dishes etc clean counters bit it's never ending! That's where my motivation just ups and leaves!
I was delighted to get a notification of a new video from you!! Right now we are packing to move, and trying to do all the moving things and all the mama things is so overwhelming!
Congrats on your move! So exciting! You got this Mama! Enjoy the changes! These are the good days!🤍🙏💪
I finally! A typical looking house that’s really lived in. The only house cleaning videos I come across, are not actually what I consider the majority of homes. Most are these big houses dirty with a few clothes and a few dishes or homes that really doesn’t have a lot of stuff.
Thank you!
You are such a natural motivational speaker Laura. I am so greatful for your channel♥️
I think 🤔 I’d chuck out the excess plastic ware and utensils in the kitchen
The cupboards are overflowing
Too much stuff
Less is best
Great channel
But continual excess kitchen clutter
Have a good week and recycle the plastic. It will help
Goodness…I NEEDED to see this! I hit rock bottom I’m SO many ways. I let everything go, nothing mattered. I have been working on things, but now I have to get things started. I shuffle from room to room stuff NEVER seems to change!! I’m going to watch other videos of yours!! Thank you SO much friend!
Rage cleaning🤣. I hear you! I never ever miss the items I get rid of. As far as the craft items, you can always try and donate to a preschool if you feel like they have some value and you don’t want to just throw them away. Then again if that just takes too much effort and it stays in the house longer, just get rid of it.
Nursing homes may also like craft items!
Great idea! Thank you!🤍
good luck on your journey! sadly people have sooo much stuff they never or very seldom use and the kicker is they often continue to buy stuff they don't really need and cram their houses and closets full, plastics, gadgets, clothes, until they need even more space for useless stuff, it's overwhelming. It's a vicious cycle. It's bad for their mental health, for their finances and for the environment. Watched a documentary once of a company who goes into dead peoples homes to clear them out and relatives often want less than 5% of their belongings, so 95% goes straight into the trash.
I’m glad to see you back. I’ve decluttering my home and feels so great. It’s organized and feeling so good. I’m so sorry for your loss.your house looks so amazing.
Still replaying your videos and getting on with my house move. You are the driving force helping me through this. Crazy how you can help me so much from the other side of the pond! ♥️
Sometimes having a lot of things can make it hard to be organised.
If you're overwhelmed start small. One room at a time. Sort the room and find a spot for everything. If it doesn't have a spot, don't keep it.
Don't try to tackle it all at once or it'll feel to much.
Happy cleaning everyone.
So glad you are back
I just binge watched a bunch of your videos and new subscribed. You do not talk too much. You are a joy to engage with. Thank you for heeding God’s call to share this content. Sorry for your family loss. You are awesome, lady!
Missed u welcome back
🤍
I’m so happy to see you again!! Praying everything is well and you and the family are taking care. Missed you my friend!!
potatoes exposed to the light like this will go green. Green potatoes will make you vomit and have to be thrown out. Consider lining your black wire baskets with a drawstring hesion sack. Fantastic job!
Oh my goodness I have just subscribed to you and absolutely love watching your videos. I totally agree with cleaning your house cleanses your mind as I suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD and OCD so being in control of your cleaning routine and trying to keep on top of things is my biggest daily achievement. Your have inspired me and I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos. Thank you for being here for us and for being real. I am also going through my own spiritual and emotional journey and I now don’t feel so alone ❤️
So happy to see you back! Been wondering how you have been doing, loving the cleaning motivation, your videos are always so satisfying! Have a good day!
You are so inspirational. Glad to have you back!!!
🥰Thank you so much Jean! I appreciate you! New video coming soon!🤍🙏💪
I get this. My dad died unexpectedly and I was totally numb for a week. I couldn't think. It was a good thing my car knew the way to my job and home. So I totally get how homes get this way.
I so appreciate this video, totally understand personal time off…I’m 70 with anxiety and depression , but getting much better, I’m trying to work on decluttering my closets and bedroom. You have given me inspiration to get started, little at a time…take care…thank you ❣️
Be selfish mama & take your time! We’ll be here for each video whenever you post!
Stay strong !! You’re tough! 🙌🏻💕🙏🏻
Hi Laura, so good to see you're back! ❤ I missed your videos so much and I can't wait to see that decluttering video and the live streams! When you're cleaning, I almost feel like my home is being at least half cleaned at the same time 😀 Keep up the good work! Love, Minna from Finland
The thing about decluttering is it never ends, it gets easier and more minimal but as we move through life we end up with stuff and it needs upkeep. I do it per season or when an area is getting on my nerves. That kitchen especially looks amazing now
Good to see you're back! Been checking every week.
I understand working on yourself. I'm about to start week 20 of not drinking.
Stay mighty. 😊
If you pray 🙏 pray for me! I have Lupus, my medicine keeps increasing and my husband is getting decreasing hours at work. Stressed out about it and stress is a trigger for other things I have with my anxiety.
Your selection of music is 🎯 🎶 and your words of affirmation are truly heart-felt💖 Taking time off social media/videos is sometimes necessary. We ladies often struggle with self care. We have to remember we can't pour from an empty cup.
I'm so glad to see you back, don't feel bad about taking time off to take care of yourself❤ I love a good rage clean; it's so satisfying in the moment! My only problem is all the movement flares up my chronic illnesses and I'm in a lot of pain afterwards, but at least my house feels a little less overwhelming while I'm recovering.
I am glad you are back! Once again sorry for your loss. Your kitchen looks so nice, you did an amazing job. I have been decluttering little by little and still on my decluttering journey. Thank you for your videos, they truly are appreciated and inspiring.
Thank you. I appreciate you so much! 🤍🙏💪
I know this video is from 2 months ago , but I just wanted to let you know that I was just watching it while cleaning and your words have really inspired me. About how therapeutic cleaning is for anxiety and depression, I’ve been going through a pretty bad episode lately and haven’t cleaned in so long. Last week I started trying to push through it and little by little I’ve been making progress and decluttering but sometimes I forget how much better it feels to get it all done no matter how difficult it is to get started. I love this video because you reminded me all of that. Thank you ❤️
Oh this cleaning was amazing! My english is not the best,but I hope you all understand me😅when i was a child,our house was a mess most of the time, because my Mama was depressed too i think,but she never talked about it..anyway she was and is the best mum i could Image.I am the complete opposite and clean everyday and sometimes i have to stop myself not doing so much.That sucks too,when you are not able to relax,so i work on it.
You are great Laura,i wish you the best ❤️ god bless you and your loved ones
I clean my stove probably 98% of the time but ever since getting a gas stove I dread it. I still do it but I hate it because of the grates. Mine are three long ones bc it’s a five burner. Blame not cleaning your stove on the grates because they are a good excuse!!!
Why do u wash everything in sink before you put it in the dishwasher please
Wow! I'm so glad you finally got rid of cups you don't use!!! That cabinet looks so much better.
People always gifted my mom mugs for Christmas, but she got rid of 80% of them a few years ago and her kitchen is so much easier to navigate around. And she moved like four Christmas mugs to the bottom of one of her kitchen shelves, and she gets them out for Christmas eve every year to make us hot coco. You don't need mugs out all year round. Your cabinet seriously looks so much more functional and practical. The cabinet looks so much better! I think she only has two mugs in her cabinet because she just cleans the one she uses every morning so she uses the same one and has one for guests. Makes sense.
Glad, you are back! Hope you are doing good!
Not being negative at all, just coming from a perspective of a single mom on a budget...so I love norwex cleaning clothes over the paper towels- way more effective 😀 also, I use an enzyme cleaner that's odorless & even edible..spray on stove/microwave & give it 5 minutes soak 😉wipes right off. Thanks for your motivation & tips!!
So sorry about your loss, I know this is an old video. You sound excited about some new things going on in your life. That’s great! It’s 3:45 a.m. and I am awake watching you. I have done some paperwork like paying bills. If I can get to sleep I have plans on cleaning out my fridge and cleaning off my kitchen counters. Then I can mop the kitchen floor. I should be able to this all in one day and still make some dinner. I am telling myself I will not be as depressed if I get all of that done. Next clean the living room and dust. I love that you are doing Green Chief, and hope it continues to work for you. Blessings to you and all of your subscribers! ❤
Your comment is very timely- I think we are a hoarding humanity. The more we have the more disorganized we get n that makes us lose what we had so we buy more. Asaahhhhh. I am also not consistent. After 40 yes of being married I can only fix the worst bad habits- can’t be perfect. 😄
Great job!! Kudos to you!
Thanks for keeping it real 🙏🏾
Just observation, because I've been there. I see a full cabinet of cups and I see you still filled the entire top of dishwasher.
Getting rid of half of those and cutting it back to two total loads of dishes is a game changer. Meaning one load of dishwasher filled with cups, plates bowls eating spoons/forks. (That's one load full) then one load of pots pans.
Anything more than that is really excess and only allows us to pile dirty dishes. This way you have a constant cycle daily. Of clean/dirty and never overflowing.
I want to tell you what helps me. Soon as I get up, I shower. Then, I grab everything that I can and throw it in the washer. I start my cleaning and I feel like I've killed three birds with one stone. It doesn't matter if I have 20 pieces of laundry in the washer or 10 pieces. It's that way of saying that I'm getting things done. While they're washing, I get busy.
New subscriber, I love cleaning videos motivation. I liked that you've filmed while emptying the kitchen trash around 15:00 and even dumped the bag in a larger one haha I always find it so satisfying to see anything get discarded while cleaning and the trash emptied and taken away from home. Also because I struggle to discard many things like any old clothes that can't be donated so I always hope someone will need to discard one of those things to give me motivation when they film that part 🤭
I love your real videos. No one else is as real as you. Thank you.
To give you more space where ur dining table is you should put the short end of the table against the bannister and it create more room and a flooring affect in that area.
Woohoo!! Ur back so glad to hear u again, I'm still prayn for u cuz I know it's hard but god will help u through it
🤍🙏💪 Thank you!
Thanks for the motivation! Your kitchen and dining area looked soooo soooo good after you were done! Great work! During the video I folded laundry, reset my living room and parts of my kitchen. Thanks again for the motivation!!
Cleaning calms my anxiety and right now I'm struggling to keep up with my home, I had forgotten how hard it is to clean a house with a newborn needing my constant attention. I love my baby but hate my anxiety.
Welcome back!! Sending you all the good vibes!! 🥰
Good morning! Excited to watch the new video
HI! So good to see you again.
It's great to see you! I thought I was the only one who dislikes cleaning the stove top! Yes, I just figured out how well dawn power wash works on it.
I have missed you. I love your videos. They are brilliant.
Glad to see you back!
GLAD YOURE BACK,IVE BEEN CLEANING WALLS,DOUSTING,THE WHOLE WORKS FOR 2 DAYS,IM BEAT
They is one thing I have noticed, women are constantly trying to become better versions of themselves while men are happy not changing.
Good Morning family and happy Sunday thanks for the motivation
🤍
Glad ur back. I was looking for you. Day by day...
Glad to see you back! Yep...real life. It's hard but we can do this 💪 one of my struggles lately is I've really been lacking motivation to cook. My kitchen gets bad so fast and then I just don't want to mess it up again lol. But gotta eat and kids eat a lot!
Shannon I feel you girl! I get so much anxiety and discouragement when I think about cooking too. As you said the fact that its another mess to clean and then to even figure out what to cook. That is why I do love my meal kits. They help take the edge off some weeks. Thank you for being here. Stay Mighty!🤍💪🙏
@@MightyMama I might look into those meal kits!
