I just want to thank you for getting me through loosing my husband .When I had no motivation to clean and organize you were my saving grace .It’s been almost two years and It’s like I lost him yesterday .I also have adhd and it’s nice to see others that cope with it as well .I love listening to you and your advice .I also don’t let others too close as trauma is my story also .I thank god for you for real Lynn just thought I needed you to know and deserve to know what an inspiration you are to others !!❤
Dear precious woman. I just sighed when I saw the reality of your home. Been there, done that. It’s exhausting being the only one who truly cares that the state of my house has a massive impact on my mental state. I’m proud of you for getting a friend to stay with Emma so you could focus on what needed done. Since my boys were little they’ve appreciated my writing them a list of what each needs to do. They still tell me that their brain appreciates being able to see the list and to cross the chores off. I took a break from my own chores to spend time with you. I’ll keep going and so will you. Hugs and love to you.😊
Christmas comes after Thanksgiving so no rush, you don’t have to do whatever everyone else is doing. Remember the olden days Christmas decorations went up in December. I’m like you I suffer from depression and constantly trying to have a show house. Oh how I wish I could turn the clock back 30yrs ago. I was fit and single no stress. Housework is never ending. I love how your cat keeps you company when you are busy cleaning.
Thank you for this today….Im in a bad place mentally and needed a little nudge to get me up and moving. After the first 5 or 6 minutes I was up working with you. My living room, half bath and kitchen are now clean and my laundry is finished. Thank you!! Some days I just need someone to tell me I’m not doing this alone, and to give me some motivation to move…..you did that for me today. ❤❤❤
lynn please dont let negative comments bother you. you are a great person! God made you and loves you. ive read some of the comments here and just want you to know negativity is not worth dwelling on. keep being you!
@mrslynnwhite people who are negative have their own issues to battle. I'm 65years old. I always stressed out when people said negative things about me. then as I aged realized that what God thinks of me and He knows my heart. I know God has made you who you are! never be ashamed!
I am so sorry you're having a rough time lately, but as someone with anxiety & panic attacks, I totally get it. I am super excited about your new year ruthless decluttering journey!! I am right there with you girl! We are empty nesters now, I'm (50) but I decorate like crazy for all holidays and even for winter. I'm going crazy lately with all the inanimate objects that are controlling me. I go through my things many times a year, but I am getting ready to really dung out and only keep what I love. I look so forward to that series with you. I really appreciate you and your honesty, your sweetness and your encouragement in life. You keep pushing. Just remember, with God; nothing is impossible. ❤
Oh Lynn, you sound so sad, please know that you are a wonderful woman and mother in my opinion. I always look forward to seeing your videos because you inspire me and I feel better after listening to you. All I can say to you as a friend, take one thing at a time, do the little things that make you smile and give you some joy....it will all come together slowly for you honey. Sending you lots of love always
Aww, I'm not sad. Sometimes I do my voiceovers at night and my voice is a bot softer. But I am trying to simply my life more and more. Stress can be so bad for us and I want to get a hold on it before it makes me sick, anxious, etc. Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
FYI me and my sister in law just helped each one Saturday at one house next Saturday at the other house. We got so much done. We used to this all the time in our 20’s but in our 50’s we need to help each other more. ❤
Lynn you are such a great friend. I totally get where you are coming from. I too suffer from depression and am on medication for it. Sometimes I do get a little overwhelmed with everything but watching your videos gives me some sunshine . I am so blessed to call you my friend and I do take a lot of your advice when it pertains to me. Thanks for always sharing. Love you and the family.
Lynn.. I absolutely love your videos because I can relate to you and your content. Thank you for your positivity and words of kindness. We all have to give ourselves grace, because I believe most people are trying to be their best selves.❤
Lynn, you are an excellent cleaner. I have no right to judge how messy your house might get. I am retired. There are no children at home and I have paid cleaning & yard help every other week. My husband does his share too by cooking, emptying the dishwasher, hauling laundry, makes his bed every day and doesn’t leave his clothes laying all around. You are doing the best that you can . You have a wonderful family.❤️🍁🙏
You are correct about decluttering. That is a constant and helps so much with keeping a home under control. If it is not there…..you don’t have to deal with it. Years ago, we had sooooo much less and homemaking was easier.
Thank you for the great content. I can so relate to you with doing for others and not allowing others to do for me. Glad I'm not the only one that is like that, because i always felt that i was. 😊
Oh girl! Pillows and blankets on the floor drive me crazy!! My anxiety and depression severely limit me from interacting with friends and family. I do get very lonely, but I also get very anxious when I am suppose to meet up with a friend or go to family gatherings. Since my dad passed in May it’s gotten worse. lol! I don’t make my bed every day. I use to, I know when I do, it makes me feel so good I miss my kids being little, needing me, attached at my hip, well, most days lol. I miss them being at home. But I have raised two amazing adults! I could not be more proud❤ Ic love to see a long video!! I love all of your videos. You are such a great girl and good, sweet and kind ftiend❤
My dear Lynn, I feel for you. This world in my humble opinion is in its last days. We as Christian’s are taking a beating even from fellow Christians, We unfortunately have the Christian that has fallen for the world and the Christian that read and tries to live the Bible. Just kept being you. No matter how much scripture or news sources or articles you show people they can’t or don’t want to see it. Keep walking your path and remember the only one we need to please is God. 🙏❤️
You are one of my favorites! You keep things so real! You inspire me so. This is my first time commenting on anyone’s you tube video. Thanks for inspiring and I so relate to you!!
Lynn I just want to give you a hug! Thank you for being vulnerable and showing us the messes, and how life can get away from you sometimes. It helps the rest of us to feel not alone. When you showed your kitchen in particular, I thought it’s not that your house is filthy, it’s just a lot things that aren’t being put away, and you’re right it can get out of control quickly. Well, for those of us who are bothered by cluttered surfaces. I’m right there with you. I get sick of my fall decor a month after I put it out. If it weren’t for my girls I would just not even decorate I think. But I’m so glad you “laid down the law” a bit with your kids. One thing that may help you with not having to constantly remind them is to create a chore chart (I call mine for my girls a “task list”) and post it somewhere they will see it daily. You’ve got this! ❤
We are a lot alike! I get so over it so fast. That is one of the reasons I have not decorated yet. I'm not ready. I like the open, clutter-free spaces. I will check that chore chart out RIGHT NOW! Thanks, girl!
I generally put things back where they go Simply because I don’t like clutter, it was a discipline. I had to teach myself over the years, but I’m glad I did. It makes it easier to find whatever you’re looking for and it’s visually pleasing.
Hi Lynn As always a pleasure when you pop up . And of course added bonus with the little Miss . I’ve have been with you almost 7 years. I love how open you are .. Please know you are valued .. Love and hugs. Sandra
I too am struggling as our many and really enjoy your channel I will pray for you and all those who are struggling with depression and anxiety, also love it when we see your sweet lil girl and new 😺.
I have to just leave one more comment .I think it’s great that you spoke your peace but,You owe no one explanation especially strangers .I understand people being concerned about what is fair but,People will always have something to say essentially negative .God has you doing this for the good in the world .I mean that you have inspired me in more ways then you can imagine .Because when my house isn’t clean my mind isn’t clean and I can’t function!!I have to function for myself and my kids so once again thank you ❤
I never wait until I need to throw lots of things away. I throw off 3 "inanimate" things today. I loved how you named the staff. A few more in two weeks, and it should never pile up too many. The theory fails sometimes, but it's quite consistent.
I try to make my bed every day. My Mother was a stickler for having the house clean and beds made. Now I feel awful about myself if my house isn't clean. We don't expect perfection out of others but we do out of our selves. I love how you always try to uplift and inspire us and I want you to know you are enough as well and have a beautiful soul.
Hi Lynn Everything you mention in this video was on point. I feel the same, it’s like you express exactly what’s on my mind. God bless you 😊 You are a wonderful soul ❤🙏🏼🥰
I FINALLY, after being under the weather for a few days, got my home under control and CLEANED! There’s nothing like propping your feet up at the end of the day with a clean home and laundry finished! ♥️
Love you Lynn, and if I could fly over there then I would give you the biggest hug 🤗 I enjoy watching your videos they always motivate me and relax me. God bless you 🙏
Hi Lynn I have ocd and I drive my self mad I carnt cope with a mess.my partner is used to me now I had therapy for this and feel,it’s getting better but I have days when things just have to be just right.i make my bed as soon as I’m out of it no excuses.i don’t drink coffee but i do like tea.take care love your videos have a good week.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I struggle with making my bed everyday sometimes but again there are times when I make my bed every day and times I do not. My mantra is the sky is not going to fall down if you don’t make your bed today! I do feel better when. The bed is made.
I'm glad the family meeting is working. Other than Emma all the kids should keep things clutter free for everyone's sanity. I have a home day care and I have the little one's clean up the play area at least 4 x's a day for sanity and safety reasons. It teaches them to care and respect the toys they have as well as a life lesson. As you know, you can't get to the cleaning part until the clutter part is gone. I hope your boy's momentum continues and you are less stressed.
This was a great video, just like all your others! I need to have this same conversation with my big kids… but I fear it won’t work and it will fall on deaf ears. That will make me even more upset than if I just keep doing it alone. Parenting is hard, and as you know, doing it as a single mom is that much harder!
I totally hear you! It really is. We aren’t meant to do it alone, but sometimes it has to be that way. I remember that when I was a single mom to my first 2. It was hard! No one to rely on. However, it was a time that I continued to show up and rise to the job. I felt very proud of myself.
I put things away after I use them been doing it for many many years Also I notice that most people when dusting with a cloth never use a spray of any kind suited for use of the furniture ( wooden items etc
Growing up in the 80’s, my only responsibility was to keep my room clean and bed made. My mom did all the housework. But there was times I wanted to help and she would let me, but not all the time. Well, I turned out that way by doing all the housework and not making my kids. It got to be overwhelming!! As my kids got older, I made them start helping. Don’t get me wrong, my husband helped when he wasn’t working, but i usually had it done when he got home. By making my kids help, it gave them more pride about their home and taught them responsibility. The home became their home too, in a way. Know what I mean?
Thank you for this amazing video!! I’ve been having a rough few weeks with work and other stressors, so my house feels a wreck, too! Sending you lots of love and peace ❤ (Also Emma Jumping off the bed was so cute and funny!)
Pillows and blankets on the floor drive me crazy too. My ex would constantly put my couch throw pillows on the floor and I would get so irritated and grossed out. So I totally understand
Talking about caffeine intake really interested me, I drink 4 to 5 rockstars a day to try and keep my energy up, sometimes it helps , alot of times anymore it doesn't help, i think my body has become immune to it, considering I drink that many every single day and I have for about the last 8 months to a year. It would be so wonderful if I could juat drink water and get the push I need
I'd encourage you to limit it by one less per day. Do it slowly. PrioritIze sleep, too! Your body needs it so much. Women need more than men too. Look up L theanine (hope I spelled that right). Take that with one of your caffineated drinks and let me know if you notice it helps prolong that one drink longer.
Lol, when my bed isn’t made my kids all say to each other “ what’s wrong with mum, is she sick?” 😂😂😂 Just my routine to feel like I’m on top of things ❤
I am not a person who naturally puts things away right away ,but I have forced myself into making it a habit. It does make it so much better to just do it now. It is easier to do it now , you are going to have to do it eventually and dishes get crusty, clean clothes knocked into the floor and get mixed with the dirty clothes .
My husband makes our bed every morning and brushes down the shower every day. I am so 😮😮thankful for him. I cook and he helps me clean up. I make sure all dishes are out of the double sink and dried and put away. The kitchen is reset every night without fail. He vacuums and I sweep and mop the kitchen and bathrooms. We both wash clothes. We are seniors so we need to help each other.
I would like to put things away daily, but sometimes life intervenes. Both my husband and son have severe health issues. I’m the caregiver/driver a lot of the time. I’ve had to let myself rest rather than clean sometimes. You don’t need to apologize.
I have to have the kitchen table tidy and the benches or I think you call em counters over there in the states(new zealand here), if they ate not good neither am I, undiagnosed autism mixed with some adhd here, love your channel honey, God bless you and yours.❤
Been watching your channel for a couple of years now, you are so nice, and get me motivated when I cant be bothered you were a Godsend when I lost a close friend lately cos you are so encouraging, you're the BEST.😊❤@@mrslynnwhite
When things used to get out of control at our house…. I would have family meetings. Everyone to living room. Saying it once to all kids and getting a little demanding once. The kids would do great for a while.
You know Lynn over the years what I've learned is Once you're done using something clean it up and put it back where it belongs right then because if you put it to the side you never get back to it and you'll forget about it. That goes with changing clothes doing makeup doing your hair anything. Everything should have it's designated place If there's no designated place for it Make one or get rid of it I say. Hope that helps. 😃😃 God Bless Beautiful. 💝💝🤗🤗🙌🙌
Wow. I work full-time job monday to friday. Not much time for cleaning. I have weekends off. But then it is family time. I have essential tremors and start of Parkinsons. I also have OCD and panic and anxiety disorder. I do take medication. But still full-time working. I need a cleaning schedule LYNN can you please help me??? Please
@mrslynnwhite also try to keep in mind we / me. Work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. But do not get home until 5:30 pm or 6pm. I did get load of laundry in a load of dishes in dishwasher dusted a few things and rearranged some small knick knacks too. My husband every morning empties dishwasher and makes our bed. Pretty cool. We have been married for 38 years. ♥
meal planning is something id like to get into but coming up with dinner ideas everyday for a week is overwhelming. Plus eating the same things all the time bores me LOL And pillows on the floor drives me nuts. I had to start making consequences for when it happened.
This is Nina n everyone's house is messy weather they admit it n or not. I live alone now cause my dad died last November on the 27th. This has been a hard year n I haven't finished everything I need to do
I judge my well-being by how easily things upset me . if I’m easily upset I know I haven’t spent enough time with God haven’t spent enough time in his word and in his presence.
@ I will be praying for you You have a lot of responsibility and you don’t have to do it alone. When you feel overwhelmed just stop and say, Lord I feel overwhelmed will you help me today? I’m learning that more and more each day. My husband passed away so I know how it feels to be overwhelmed. That’s why I rely on Jesus more than ever.
Jesus is the peace that passes all understanding!! I pray you take some time and get into the Bible!! He is our everything!! Sending love and many Blessings your way!!
@@mrslynnwhite Lynn, I'm so impressed that you understood my intent wasn't to criticize or judge! You seem like a beautiful person that's struggling a bit with overwhelm. Hugs!
@@lmagas-om9dpI try to listen to all comments with a heart of love and understanding, not criticism. I’m no where near perfect but I am trying. I I appreciate you! ☺️
Hi Lynn. As a long time follower/supporter, I was disheartened to learn via social media about your political stance. Like me, you are a Christian, and you often speak of love, acceptance, and not judging others. I imagine having a daughter who is gay would cause one to not vote as a Christian Nationalist, but voting against our interests seems to be the theme this election. You recently posted that women are not being affected by abortion laws and that we are being lied to. You deleted the post, but I hope you have done your “research” and have learned how dead wrong you are. Women who want to bring their pregnancies to term but are miscarrying are dying and losing their ability to have children, and people like you are telling others there’s nothing to see here. I have never been so disappointed in a Christian influencer, but Christians these days aren’t what they used to be. Sincerely praying you find your way on this one.
You’re given the ability to express your views given to you by your higher power and by every man and thing woman in the military. I am a Christian I would never think I have the right to tell someone what to believe or how vote. My grandmother taught me young that there is nothing worse than a “ Fine Christian Women”
@@CynicalPecan This is the problem with the left (or left-leaning voters): they think everyone else is wrong and not entitled to their own beliefs. Being an American used to mean voting based on your own conscience and beliefs and letting others be free to vote based on their own. For you to come on to her channel and tell her that she’s wrong is absolutely bonkers. And to imply that she is not a good Christian??? A person who voted for the democrats is in no way a Christian. You cannot vote to allow for the slaughter of unborn image bearers and call yourself a follower of Christ. You also need to stop spewing leftist propaganda- no state is prohibiting miscarriage care. In a miscarriage the baby is ALREADY DEAD. (And yes the medical term for miscarriage is spontaneous abortion: keyword “spontaneous) An elective abortion intentionally and brutally ends the life of an innocent human being. Oh and while we’re at it, treating an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion. The doctors who are not treating patients who are dying are committing medical malpractice. They need to educate themselves on what the laws actually say. Trump has denied that he will enact a national abortion ban (he is actually pro choice sadly). The laws will be up the states. Anyone who wants to commit murder still will be able to do so in certain states. I hope you will do your “research” and read your Bible and learn how dead wrong you are. Also, I am saying this out of genuine concern. It’s hard to convey in writing, but I do sincerely hope you take these words to heart and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide your convictions. And one more thing: Trump is pro LGBT. They have the same rights as any other American and there are no plans to “take them away”. So here’s to hoping we can foster civil discourse again and learn to get along from here on out.
Just wow, we are so brave behind a keyboard and would you have a discussion with Lynn in person about this? The main thing about being a Christian is to “judge not” and we each vote our conscience and should not be judged for it
You are nerver happy and cheerful in your vlogs and you should nerver make the bed directly after you wake up. The little creaturs in you bed get more warmth and cosyness and reproduces themselves.
I'm not ever happy? That's not true. Remeber, you are seeing a snippet of my life. Only 3hrs edited down to 30+mins a week. I am a very positive, content, and happy person. I do have stressful times as many others, but overall, I am a happy person. I do, however, share the things that help me get through tough times. That is what I try to do with my videos.
I just want to thank you for getting me through loosing my husband .When I had no motivation to clean and organize you were my saving grace .It’s been almost two years and It’s like I lost him yesterday .I also have adhd and it’s nice to see others that cope with it as well .I love listening to you and your advice .I also don’t let others too close as trauma is my story also .I thank god for you for real Lynn just thought I needed you to know and deserve to know what an inspiration you are to others !!❤

YAY! That means so much to me.
Keep up these inspirational videos. I can tell you are such a lovely lady and I know you'd be an amazing friend ❤️. Much love 😊
Thank you so much!!
I try to make my bed every day. My Mother was a stickler for having the house clean and beds made. Now I feel awful about myself if my house isn't clean. We don't expect perfection out of others but we do out of our selves. I love how you always try to uplift and inspire us and I want you to know you are enough as well and have a beautiful soul.
Thank you for being here. Your words are so kind.
Thank you for the video! Love how you have Lisa playing on the tv. I love watching her too 😊
Hi Lynn
Everything you mention in this video was on point. I feel the same, it’s like you express exactly what’s on my mind.
God bless you 😊
You are a wonderful soul ❤🙏🏼🥰
I’m so glad I could help!
I FINALLY, after being under the weather for a few days, got my home under control and CLEANED! There’s nothing like propping your feet up at the end of the day with a clean home and laundry finished! ♥️
YES!! WHOOOOO HOOOO I am SO happy to hear this.
Girrrlll, we are definitely sisters!! I am the very excate way no lie!!!
SISTERS!!!!
Great video. Thanks for the motivation.
Sorry that some people "are out of the line". Try to ignore them.
Take care ❤
Thank you! You too!
Love you Lynn, and if I could fly over there then I would give you the biggest hug 🤗 I enjoy watching your videos they always motivate me and relax me. God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much! Sending you a hug back!
Hey flossy. Sending love & prayers on this journey. Take a deep breath love & give yourself some grace.🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi Lynn I have ocd and I drive my self mad I carnt cope with a mess.my partner is used to me now I had therapy for this and feel,it’s getting better but I have days when things just have to be just right.i make my bed as soon as I’m out of it no excuses.i don’t drink coffee but i do like tea.take care love your videos have a good week.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
I struggle with making my bed everyday sometimes but again there are times when I make my bed every day and times I do not. My mantra is the sky is not going to fall down if you don’t make your bed today! I do feel better when. The bed is made.
It definitely feels good to have a made bed, even if it's just for a minute or two!
I'm glad the family meeting is working. Other than Emma all the kids should keep things clutter free for everyone's sanity. I have a home day care and I have the little one's clean up the play area at least 4 x's a day for sanity and safety reasons. It teaches them to care and respect the toys they have as well as a life lesson. As you know, you can't get to the cleaning part until the clutter part is gone. I hope your boy's momentum continues and you are less stressed.
This was a great video, just like all your others! I need to have this same conversation with my big kids… but I fear it won’t work and it will fall on deaf ears. That will make me even more upset than if I just keep doing it alone. Parenting is hard, and as you know, doing it as a single mom is that much harder!
I totally hear you! It really is. We aren’t meant to do it alone, but sometimes it has to be that way. I remember that when I was a single mom to my first 2. It was hard! No one to rely on. However, it was a time that I continued to show up and rise to the job. I felt very proud of myself.
Love you Lynn! Prayers for you!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thankn you!
Lynn I love your videos.
Thank You For A Great Video ❤
I put things away after I use them been doing it for many many years
Also I notice that most people when dusting with a cloth never use a spray of any kind suited for use of the furniture ( wooden items etc
I do sometimes, but these particular cloths are made for just water.
Growing up in the 80’s, my only responsibility was to keep my room clean and bed made. My mom did all the housework. But there was times I wanted to help and she would let me, but not all the time. Well, I turned out that way by doing all the housework and not making my kids. It got to be overwhelming!! As my kids got older, I made them start helping. Don’t get me wrong, my husband helped when he wasn’t working, but i usually had it done when he got home. By making my kids help, it gave them more pride about their home and taught them responsibility. The home became their home too, in a way. Know what I mean?
Thank you for this amazing video!! I’ve been having a rough few weeks with work and other stressors, so my house feels a wreck, too! Sending you lots of love and peace ❤ (Also Emma Jumping off the bed was so cute and funny!)
That's so funny you noticed Emma jumping off the bed. She's a little crazy! 😂
Pillows and blankets on the floor drive me crazy too. My ex would constantly put my couch throw pillows on the floor and I would get so irritated and grossed out. So I totally understand
I do not know what it is. Ugh It drives me nuts!
Hi, Lynn !!! Great motivation, Have a great week !!!! 🫶👋
❤❤
Aww, thank you! ❤️
Love this video, take care and stay safe! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
Talking about caffeine intake really interested me, I drink 4 to 5 rockstars a day to try and keep my energy up, sometimes it helps , alot of times anymore it doesn't help, i think my body has become immune to it, considering I drink that many every single day and I have for about the last 8 months to a year. It would be so wonderful if I could juat drink water and get the push I need
I'd encourage you to limit it by one less per day. Do it slowly. PrioritIze sleep, too! Your body needs it so much. Women need more than men too. Look up L theanine (hope I spelled that right). Take that with one of your caffineated drinks and let me know if you notice it helps prolong that one drink longer.
Lol, when my bed isn’t made my kids all say to each other “ what’s wrong with mum, is she sick?” 😂😂😂 Just my routine to feel like I’m on top of things ❤
I am not a person who naturally puts things away right away ,but I have forced myself into making it a habit. It does make it so much better to just do it now. It is easier to do it now , you are going to have to do it eventually and dishes get crusty, clean clothes knocked into the floor and get mixed with the dirty clothes .
I’m trying to do the same. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I stay consistent.
Well I needed this today!! ❤
My husband makes our bed every morning and brushes down the shower every day. I am so
😮😮thankful for him. I cook and he helps me clean up. I make sure all dishes are out of the double sink and dried and put away. The kitchen is reset every night without fail. He vacuums and I sweep and mop the kitchen and bathrooms. We both wash clothes. We are seniors so we need to help each other.
I love that! Chris helps me and it lightens the load a lot. I am so thankful for it.
I’m the same way! Sometimes I put things away daily and then other times I don’t. Right now I’m not 🥴
It is a daily struggle.
I would like to put things away daily, but sometimes life intervenes. Both my husband and son have severe health issues. I’m the caregiver/driver a lot of the time. I’ve had to let myself rest rather than clean sometimes. You don’t need to apologize.
Hi Lynn! What kind of flooring is in your computer room? How is it for dogs?
It is LVP Califloors Seaboard oak
@ thank you girl!
Your doggies look so incredibly cute! Need a quick introduction. And of course Jade is so beautiful.
They are the best! I will introduce them soon.
Is the sheepskin for the dog? I was thinking about using a sheepskin for my dog instead of a bed 🩵
I have to have the kitchen table tidy and the benches or I think you call em counters over there in the states(new zealand here), if they ate not good neither am I, undiagnosed autism mixed with some adhd here, love your channel honey, God bless you and yours.❤
Sending you lots of love!
Been watching your channel for a couple of years now, you are so nice, and get me motivated when I cant be bothered you were a Godsend when I lost a close friend lately cos you are so encouraging, you're the BEST.😊❤@@mrslynnwhite
Thanks Lynn
Hugs!
Receiving: every inhale needs an exhale. Receiving is a part of giving. Both are needs to keep the flow moving.
Lynn, I love the video. I’m scrubbing the bathroom down watching 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎 I don’t have Christmas up. And I’m not ready yet either
It feels so good to get it done doesn't it?
I’m so with you on Simplifying in 2025.
lynn. i hate dirty ceiling fans with dust hanging from them😂
Same! The ones in my living room are like that. We need a super tall ladder to get it and we haven't yet. It is so bad.
Lots of ❤❤❤
Lynn, thank you.♥️
Hugs!
@mrslynnwhite 💕
Great motivation
Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
That cat was trying hard to keep that box 😂
Awesome video as usual..👍🥰
Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
i love your videos ❤
Thank you for watching. It means so much to me. ❤️
When things used to get out of control at our house…. I would have family meetings. Everyone to living room. Saying it once to all kids and getting a little demanding once. The kids would do great for a while.
We do that same thing. We call it a "come to jesus moment"
@ love it!!
You know Lynn over the years what I've learned is Once you're done using something clean it up and put it back where it belongs right then because if you put it to the side you never get back to it and you'll forget about it. That goes with changing clothes doing makeup doing your hair anything. Everything should have it's designated place If there's no designated place for it Make one or get rid of it I say. Hope that helps. 😃😃 God Bless Beautiful. 💝💝🤗🤗🙌🙌
I totally agree with you!
you are amazing
Resource: Sam Kelly’s “notice & do” training.
Wow. I work full-time job monday to friday. Not much time for cleaning. I have weekends off. But then it is family time. I have essential tremors and start of Parkinsons. I also have OCD and panic and anxiety disorder. I do take medication. But still full-time working. I need a cleaning schedule LYNN can you please help me??? Please
I totally understand how hard it is to keep up with cleaning! I'll do a video with some tips for a cleaning schedule soon! Sending you love!
@mrslynnwhite also try to keep in mind we / me. Work from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. But do not get home until 5:30 pm or 6pm. I did get load of laundry in a load of dishes in dishwasher dusted a few things and rearranged some small knick knacks too. My husband every morning empties dishwasher and makes our bed. Pretty cool. We have been married for 38 years. ♥
Cat's paws have been in litter box!!! walking all over your surfaces!
We are training her to stay off more and more but it takes time.
Need bigger bed for your dog??😮💨💜Nice dog!!You Nice Cats too🤩💜
She is so silly lol that is actually the cat bed but she insist on laying in it. She actually has two large beds.:)
meal planning is something id like to get into but coming up with dinner ideas everyday for a week is overwhelming. Plus eating the same things all the time bores me LOL And pillows on the floor drives me nuts. I had to start making consequences for when it happened.
I've looked on pinterest and it has helped. I am like you, I do not like the same ole same ole, yet dont mind some staples.
This is Nina n everyone's house is messy weather they admit it n or not. I live alone now cause my dad died last November on the 27th. This has been a hard year n I haven't finished everything I need to do
You are very right!
❤❤❤😊
I put things away right away I grew up in a family of 8 it is the only way to keep up.Oh and unfortunately am OCD
❤
❤❤❤❤
i suffer from depression and anxiety and i have been in a place where i am feeling very overwhelemed
💖
👏🏼❤️
Hugs!
Hello my question is always le same : nobody to help you when you were ill ? No husband no family ?
I don’t like for no one to help me clean cause if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself
I feel that way too sometimes.
👏✨🥰🤍
I judge my well-being by how easily things upset me .
if I’m easily upset I know I haven’t spent enough time with God haven’t spent enough time in his word and in his presence.
That is a great gauge. I like that.
@
I will be praying for you
You have a lot of responsibility and you don’t have to do it alone.
When you feel overwhelmed just stop and say, Lord I feel overwhelmed will you help me today?
I’m learning that more and more each day. My husband passed away so I know how it feels to be overwhelmed. That’s why I rely on Jesus more than ever.
Jesus is the peace that passes all understanding!! I pray you take some time and get into the Bible!! He is our everything!! Sending love and many Blessings your way!!
Thank you!
I’m sorry that your home got this way Lynn…I know it stresses you out! You were kickin some butt though in this video and looking forward to part 2!
Sweetie, you have so much stuff! Less inventory might make your life easier...
You are so right. We have been working in the garage for DAYS!!
@@mrslynnwhite Lynn, I'm so impressed that you understood my intent wasn't to criticize or judge! You seem like a beautiful person that's struggling a bit with overwhelm. Hugs!
@@lmagas-om9dpI try to listen to all comments with a heart of love and understanding, not criticism. I’m no where near perfect but I am trying. I I appreciate you! ☺️
Silly cat in the sink.
This is not normal
So dirthy
I kan not believe my house will look like this
Hi Lynn. As a long time follower/supporter, I was disheartened to learn via social media about your political stance. Like me, you are a Christian, and you often speak of love, acceptance, and not judging others. I imagine having a daughter who is gay would cause one to not vote as a Christian Nationalist, but voting against our interests seems to be the theme this election. You recently posted that women are not being affected by abortion laws and that we are being lied to. You deleted the post, but I hope you have done your “research” and have learned how dead wrong you are. Women who want to bring their pregnancies to term but are miscarrying are dying and losing their ability to have children, and people like you are telling others there’s nothing to see here. I have never been so disappointed in a Christian influencer, but Christians these days aren’t what they used to be. Sincerely praying you find your way on this one.
Unfortunately you are not acting Christian like, nobody should tell another whom to vote for, Lynn should vote whomever she chooses .
You’re given the ability to express your views given to you by your higher power and by every man and thing woman in the military. I am a Christian I would never think I have the right to tell someone what to believe or how vote. My grandmother taught me young that there is nothing worse than a “ Fine Christian Women”
@@CynicalPecan This is the problem with the left (or left-leaning voters): they think everyone else is wrong and not entitled to their own beliefs. Being an American used to mean voting based on your own conscience and beliefs and letting others be free to vote based on their own. For you to come on to her channel and tell her that she’s wrong is absolutely bonkers. And to imply that she is not a good Christian??? A person who voted for the democrats is in no way a Christian. You cannot vote to allow for the slaughter of unborn image bearers and call yourself a follower of Christ. You also need to stop spewing leftist propaganda- no state is prohibiting miscarriage care. In a miscarriage the baby is ALREADY DEAD. (And yes the medical term for miscarriage is spontaneous abortion: keyword “spontaneous) An elective abortion intentionally and brutally ends the life of an innocent human being. Oh and while we’re at it, treating an ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion. The doctors who are not treating patients who are dying are committing medical malpractice. They need to educate themselves on what the laws actually say. Trump has denied that he will enact a national abortion ban (he is actually pro choice sadly). The laws will be up the states. Anyone who wants to commit murder still will be able to do so in certain states. I hope you will do your “research” and read your Bible and learn how dead wrong you are. Also, I am saying this out of genuine concern. It’s hard to convey in writing, but I do sincerely hope you take these words to heart and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide your convictions. And one more thing: Trump is pro LGBT. They have the same rights as any other American and there are no plans to “take them away”. So here’s to hoping we can foster civil discourse again and learn to get along from here on out.
This comment was completely unnecessary.
Just wow, we are so brave behind a keyboard and would you have a discussion with Lynn in person about this? The main thing about being a Christian is to “judge not” and we each vote our conscience and should not be judged for it
You are nerver happy and cheerful in your vlogs and you should nerver make the bed directly after you wake up. The little creaturs in you bed get more warmth and cosyness and reproduces themselves.
I'm not ever happy? That's not true. Remeber, you are seeing a snippet of my life. Only 3hrs edited down to 30+mins a week. I am a very positive, content, and happy person. I do have stressful times as many others, but overall, I am a happy person. I do, however, share the things that help me get through tough times. That is what I try to do with my videos.
@@mrslynnwhite but you are always complaining and whining in every video.
Great motivation
Glad you think so!
❤
