Thank God for a real person..... I am loving your videos, I feel less guilty and more human for listening to you and watching you .. if only everybody else was more honest.. you're very humble... stay true and don't change!!
finally! a UA-camr who is normal! cannot believe i have just found this channel im in love. finally a cleaning video with actual mess and an actual result after! im SK sick of watching cleaning videos and their houses are immaculate before they even start cleaning...makes me think im just a slob! thank you for keeping it real :)
my first time learning about this lady and watching her video... I love that she's so honest about her cleaning habits- hours cleaning a room, don't touch/clean for about 2 months. thank you for being REAL.
I find that it is easier to maintain cleanliness since I started getting rid of excess material possessions. If you look into a minimalist lifestyle, I think many of your frustrations will be solved/alleviated. Great channel by the way!
I got addicted to selling on eBay. I used to hold on to every thing. Now I get excited every time I sell something. I have a lot of stuff but slowly emptying the house :)
It's funny watching this now that you have adopted flylady and your house is nowhere near this anymore! :) awesome! I have to confess .. I do miss these "huge mess" cleaning videos :)
I know this is 2 years old, but I love your guest room! It's so pretty and calming! Also, watching your cleaning in fast motion totally motivated me!! I'm so glad I found your channel through the 30 bags in 30 days challenge. I've been cleaning out and preparing to sell my family's home. It was house I grew up in, but haven't lived there in 11 years. I definitely have neglected my house since all my spare time has been working at the family's house. Once it's sold, I'm for SURE going to do the 30bi30d!! ☺
Sophia I keep watching your videos over and you are so beautiful inside and outside. You are so honest of all your cleaning situations. I know I can 't seem to keep everything clean all the time as well. Keep all your videos coming.
i just came across this video, it popped up in my "recommended" videos and I love it. so I am now a new subscriber! thanks so much for sharing... Diana xx
I know that this is an old video, but Sofia you are a champion! what an inspiration you are! You deserve a spa day for sure! Hope you have a beautiful day! thanks for sharing!
So glad to see you put a mat under the glass jar with the oil and reeds in it - my mum bought me one that I put on a wood without doing this and left a terrible ring mark on it. Thanks for your video as always
I really enjoyed this! It was fun seeing your Saturday and how you work on your home. I hope you continue to do more vids like this. Your hubby and son are adorable!
I am a new subscriber and have been binge watching your more recent fly lady videos. After seeing you do the fly lady system and now seeing you doing all this huge amount of cleaning I can see how much the fly lady system helps. I love watching your videos, you are such a lovely lady with a lovely family leading a very busy life. I find you both calming and motivating too. I know this is an older video but I love what you've done with the guest bedroom. It looks so pretty. Thank you for your videos, keep doing what you are doing.
I stumbled across your videos a couple of weeks ago and have been binge watching since. I am quite organised but that wasn't always the case. Like you it seemed to be a constant circle of clean and decluttering only to buy more and get in a mess. Finally the penny dropped and I realised what I was doing wrong. Life is so much better and I find it so easy to stick to my routine. Watching you has reminded me what the old me used to be like. Keep up the good work you are doing amazing and I for one love to watch you and your family. Donna xXx
Aw, it's so nice to know that it's not just me who takes on big projects and then finds it hard to keep on top of the day to day stuff! Your guest room looks beautiful now, and it's so nice to see you up cycling :) you have inspired me to deck utter my dining room, that's the area I struggle with, as it always looks like a bomb site! Well done and I hope you keep making these videos, I love watching them! X
I really enjoyed watching this video. I love to watch people clean because it helps get me in the mood to clean my own home. Where did you get those awesome dog and fox statues? I love them!
Loved watching your video. I used to clean like you do and loved looking at the finished job. You did a super job with your guest room. I loved your idea of spraying the Rose Water after you had finished. I am going to try that. Thanks for allowing me to share a bit of your life.
+PAT 'S Shoppe check this out Pat, you can use those Crystals unstopable things people use for the laundry. Add them to a spray bottle with water, put in the microwave to melt them, give it a good shake and voila - fake febreeze you only use a few, maybe ten pellets.
I loved your video! It's so nice to see a real persons house that is not immaculate. I totally relate to your problem of spending the whole day cleaning on Sat. I work full time and have a second job on Sunday, so Sat. is my only day off and If I want the house to be clean and presentable, I have to spend the day doing it.
No Dear, you're not the only one. I do this to myself all the time. Love your videos they motivate me. I wish I could actually finish at least one project. Something always interrupts me
I have been trying to declutter too. I took several boxes to Goodwill. Some went to a local charity shop and there is a cute secondhand shop nearby where I sold some vintage items. I'm so sentimental about things and it's hard for me to part with them. I gave some Christmas items to our local libraries recycle Christmas Day. I adore Christmas and Christmas decorations but have been giving some decorations to daughters and a granddaughter. I still have plenty. Love your declutter video.
So glad it's not just me who when I'm decorating just one room the rest of the house goes crazy 😉 you right , it's addictive seeing someone else clean & you then inspire me to do it too x
sophia, I am obsessed with your videos. you are so inspiring. after I watch your videos I'm suddenly in the mood to clean and organize my whole house. I am also counting points because of you and seriously thinking of doing my stairs ( I'm in the middle of your stairs series)so I just want to say thank you. we really appreciate you, even enjoyed the marshalls trip and seeing what you bought and finally meeting your husband. Your son is adorable, I thought it was soo funny when he said "oh, I'm not in this episode."
Lissette Zelaya Edward is a trip. He s working on accents right now, I should do a video of his British and Russian accents. Thank you for watching, I am glad I am helping
I used to recruit my kids. I don't know how old yours are? My son even runs the dishwasher. My daughter can clean way better then me ha! She is 19 now and moved away last year. Like one of the viewers said about her friend. Helping and all that was me and my daughter the best of work buddies friends, shopping together. I hope to have her back closer someday? She lives 3 hours away. If I had a full time job I would pay a helper and save some time and energy for some fun! Life flys by it just really hit me at age 45. Seeing so many people pass away this year and last only in there 50's. I always enjoy your videos. T4S!
My 3 boys from the time they were 8 years old they could run the sweeper and load the dishwasher ect. When they were 12 they were washing clothes, drying, and folding. I don't work but all the help I can get is awesome! And the kids don't mind making a few extra bucks.
nice2you2PickerOhio The boys are in charge of their room, they do the dishes and load/unload dishwasher. Edward mows the lawn. They are increasing on their responsibilities. Little by little, I ll get there. I am 44. I am learning to delegate but it is a slow process. I guess I am a bit of control freak.

Hey my family always said I would make a poor manager and my daughter was the take charge person oh and her daddy. I think your awesome and have so much talent. You do so many cool projects I would never get there. My house is almost 2oo years old and it really intimidates me it needs so much work. Thanks enjoy your channel.
I enjoy you so much and I am one of the ones that like to go on shopping trips and viewing your town. that dresser you found is beautiful and the beds too that guestroom is beautiful. You young lady are one hell of a worker. take time to enjoy the beautiful family and home. soon Ed and Willie will be gone and on their own....enjoy them. I am so glad that I happened on to your site. love you and yours.
This was a lot of hard work for you, but what a transformation of that room. It looks lovely! I love, love, love people who re-use, re-purpose and recycle. I can't believe that people threw away such good furniture. People should donate things they don't want instead of sending them to the landfill. I know this is an older video, but I enjoyed in very much, and I will subscribe and watch more of your "adventures". Home keeping is an art, in my opinion. I enjoy it very much, and I feel proud of our home when it looks so nice as a result of just keeping after it.
Sophia, I LOVE your videos. And, this was another wonderful one. First of all, you are looking fantastique! And, I am blown away by the quality of furniture you found! No one puts furniture out like that here. I need some so I sure wish they did! And, it IS great to be a guest in your home! I intend to buy a new mop this weekend so I will look for the Casabella one you have. BB&B is a long ways away, though, so unless Target or Home Depot carries it, I'll be out of luck. I haven't been in Marshall's in a long time and I enjoyed the trip there. You found some beautiful items and then you staged them nicely! I bet your guest room smells divine. Please keep the videos like this coming; I enjoyed it very much!
I absolutely LOVE watching all of your videos, you're fun, sweet and beautiful. thanks for such great inspiration, and you have a beautiful home and family!!!
What I usually do to try to stay on top of the cleaning is a 10 minute nightly pick up/tidy up before bed if not done after dinner. This helps immensely! Other things I do - keep my fridge packed with prepped items or things ready for grab and go in case I sleep in, I can pack lunch with ease. I also prep coffeemaker the night before so I just have to turn it on in the AM's while packing lunch and getting ready. My thermos/mug are on the counter ready and waiting to be filled so I can leave. And I have designated day's for doing certain chores. While I might not be doing a big clean weekly, things are still getting done. I'd rather 'maintain' daily vs lose 1/2 day cleaning weekly. Thats just my take on cleaning :)
I love how your son said he was not part of this episode...lol !!! I really enjoy watching your videos and getting some great ideas. You're an inspiration.
Hi I absolutely loved your video I know its 2yrs on but I hoped your guests had a lovely stay, Im also glad you like Scottish Soap as I am Scottish. I myself do the same I can clean all my house and then I will leave it and do projects and then I have all the housework to do at once since all my Boys are grown up and left home i find that their rooms can be full of my clothes and things I buy lol well just going to watch another video of yours its Saturday and I started cleaning but got caught up in your video so it can be finished tomorrow Xx
Although I'm glad you are in Weight Watchers, I am quite sure hubby loves you like you are. I think you are quite pretty as you are. I myself kind of like myself at a plump size 14 and my husband has stayed with me for 35 years! Diets have always seemed to me, an unwarranted stress in my life, after a bout of anorexia in my early 20's. I am enjoying your videos. Thank you, and good luck with your efforts to get healthy.
I really love the dresser & headboards & footboards! Can hardly wait to see how the beds look after your painting magic! *I'm pretty sure your rewards are the gratifications & satisfaction, of seeing how a little love & a lot of hard work, can transform happiness within & beauty all around!
Julie Quick i know the feeling, it is overwhelming, I wish there was a magic trick to keep things clear of clutter, unfortunately I am not a minimalist, so I just have to learn to put things back where they belong.
You did a beautiful job!! Great guest room. Loved watching your video. I am a new subscriber and can't wait to see more videos. I love to watch cleaning, before and after videos.
Hi, just found your channel while browsing at organization videos, didn't think I'll watch your whole video as it looked too long, but I did and I really enjoyed it! It's such a true reality to many of busy family homes, and me as a mom feel overwhelmed a lot of times when my home gets this way. Subscribed loved to see more vblogs Good luck on your weight journey and you have a lovely family:)
I love the video! Your house is very nice. You remind me of myself with the shopping and cleaning. It's hard for me to maintain the entire house while focusing on one area.
Love your videos so much that I'm going back to catch up on ones before I subscribed. Sophia you are one of my favourites. You motivate me so much and I love that you are so genuine.
I almost can smell the clean of your home, I love this smell. I work full time , my husband as well and we have a 15 year old son and at weekends we all clean the house .I do most of it of course I try to delegate but doesn't always work , my son is suffering from something that my mother use to call laziness, have you heard? If not be aware , very sever on boys. I better go to bed now tomorrow I have lots to do . Take care and have a great restful weekend. Edina xx
Sophia, I love your videos! I've only been a subscriber for a short while but you are such a pleasure to watch. You do a wonderful job taking care of your house and I really enjoy the way you decorate (really LOVE the fox in the guestroom!). Anyway, just wanted to say hello.
Hi ! I'm French and I loved watching your video. I love to see people cleaning their house too. I've noticed that you speack a little french, that was good ! I'm going to see your channel. A bientôt !
My father in law is coming next week......I'm running in the same way you are! Although, I strive to keep a very clean home, I always see things that, at least in my mind, needs to be done. You keep me inspired!
I love this video - thanks for sharing. I always think I find it far more exhausting than most to keep on top of the house. I can get it lovely but with a massive amount of time and effort then it's a mess again within a day at most and usually so fatigued from the initial effort that I juat can't face doing it all again immediately - maybe that just means I'm lazy but to me it feels like genuine exhaustion lol! I'm feeling motivated now so shall crack on. Best wishes from Kent, England x
Think it's a great idea to give your children wee jobs. Mine are 16 and 12, they are home about 40 min before me..... When I get in from work they have emptied dishwasher and put on laundry. Just those wee jobs done helps soooo much. Love this kind of video Sophia ! X
Dear Sophia, i really love your videos. You are an inspiration! I still did not see all of this one but just want to say that i was surprised and happy to see that you bought the J soap for your mother in law and it is from a portuguese brand
Love the video Sophia! You certainly blew up your Activelink with all of that work. You certainly earned all of those activity points and then some!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Im torn because i have traditionally loved nick nacks but now i need to declutter so i can manage. Great to see your vlog and your comments. Helpful as usual. Nice to know I'm not alone at chasing my own tail lol. Take care xx
Another real lady cleaning up is MY NEW ME. She's been ill and has different chronic conditions and finally felt well enough to tackle her house. And she's not rich either so her house is smaller without all the fancy stuff that helps with cleaning.
Loved this and all your other vids. I have two sons still living at home but I tend not to get them involved in my cleaning, I quite enjoy doing it myself.....I know it has been done properly then also...heehee - it is also good exercise and it feels good when it is all done. Linda (UK) x
Love your findings!! wow that's a nice mirror and dresser. You got the guest room looking really nice . I really enjoyed watching. I love to clean , but I have to make sure I do it myself only because i have to do it a certain way .lol oh also so glad your not painting your dresser, love oak furniture ! Thanks again for a another great video!
Emily Kiesling I think it's grown on me, I really wanted to paint it, but it gives a richer look to the room that way. I may change the lamps and the table in between the two beds.
Oh boy I have really enjoyed your videos. I think this is good for me giving me a chance to see how others clean. You just seem like a power house of energy. Oh and I love your accent. Blessings.
Thank God for a real person..... I am loving your videos, I feel less guilty and more human for listening to you and watching you .. if only everybody else was more honest.. you're very humble... stay true and don't change!!
finally! a UA-camr who is normal! cannot believe i have just found this channel im in love. finally a cleaning video with actual mess and an actual result after! im SK sick of watching cleaning videos and their houses are immaculate before they even start cleaning...makes me think im just a slob! thank you for keeping it real :)
hey you ve got it....my channel has got nothing but grime! Share Share share!
lozyabc123
Instablaster.
my first time learning about this lady and watching her video... I love that she's so honest about her cleaning habits- hours cleaning a room, don't touch/clean for about 2 months. thank you for being REAL.
Sophia you are the greatest. I get tired just watching you work, you have a lot of energy. Blessings.
I find that it is easier to maintain cleanliness since I started getting rid of excess material possessions. If you look into a minimalist lifestyle, I think many of your frustrations will be solved/alleviated. Great channel by the way!
joannajean I can't do minimalist, i love stuff and nick knacks way too much, but paring down and removing duplicates and useless stuff, does help.
I got addicted to selling on eBay. I used to hold on to every thing. Now I get excited every time I sell something. I have a lot of stuff but slowly emptying the house :)
Well I hope that by the end of this year il be close to nothing :D just got to keep at it.
It's funny watching this now that you have adopted flylady and your house is nowhere near this anymore! :) awesome! I have to confess .. I do miss these "huge mess" cleaning videos :)
I know, I should watch my old videos as a reminder
I know this is 2 years old, but I love your guest room! It's so pretty and calming! Also, watching your cleaning in fast motion totally motivated me!! I'm so glad I found your channel through the 30 bags in 30 days challenge. I've been cleaning out and preparing to sell my family's home.

Sophia I keep watching your videos over and you are so beautiful inside and outside. You are so honest of all your cleaning situations. I know I can 't seem to keep everything clean all the time as well. Keep all your videos coming.
Wow, it is so cool watching this one again after the guest room was recently redone for Willie! Spring 2023.
i just came across this video, it popped up in my "recommended" videos and I love it.
so I am now a new subscriber! thanks so much for sharing... Diana xx
Diana does it Thanks Diana
Love your videos 😊. Yes I love watching people clean and redecorate 👍 , Too shy to do them myself though lol ....good job
I know that this is an old video, but Sofia you are a champion! what an inspiration you are! You deserve a spa day for sure! Hope you have a beautiful day! thanks for sharing!
So glad to see you put a mat under the glass jar with the oil and reeds in it - my mum bought me one that I put on a wood without doing this and left a terrible ring mark on it. Thanks for your video as always
I really enjoyed this! It was fun seeing your Saturday and how you work on your home. I hope you continue to do more vids like this. Your hubby and son are adorable!

Well done and I hope you keep making these videos, I love watching them! X
Reminding me that I need to get on it. Thanks for the motivation. Rewinding and swish n swipe.
I really enjoyed watching this video. I love to watch people clean because it helps get me in the mood to clean my own home. Where did you get those awesome dog and fox statues? I love them!
I love the guest room.... It seems nice and cozy... Excellent job!
+Shae English it s my favorite room

thank you so much for inspiration and sharing this video. a very good channel
No Dear, you're not the only one. I do this to myself all the time. Love your videos they motivate me. I wish I could actually finish at least one project. Something always interrupts me
Love your videos. You made the guest room so welcoming. The welcome basket was the perfect touch.
Patti Schmidt thank you
Beautiful bedroom furniture find
I have been trying to declutter too. I took several boxes to Goodwill. Some went to a local charity shop and there is a cute secondhand shop nearby where I sold some vintage items. I'm so sentimental about things and it's hard for me to part with them. I gave some Christmas items to our local libraries recycle Christmas Day. I adore Christmas and Christmas decorations but have been giving some decorations to daughters and a granddaughter. I still have plenty. Love your declutter video.
Recently started viewing your channel, and this one came up, 4 years ago !
Just to let you know folks are still enjoying it, thank you
Cool
Wow. You wear me out watching you. I don't know how you do it all. I really like how the guest room turned out. It is very pretty.
So glad it's not just me who when I'm decorating just one room the rest of the house goes crazy 😉 you right , it's addictive seeing someone else clean & you then inspire me to do it too x

Beautiful room!!! Thank you so much for keeping it real!!! I love your videos!!!
I enjoy you so much and I am one of the ones that like to go on shopping trips and viewing your town. that dresser you found is beautiful and the beds too that guestroom is beautiful. You young lady are one hell of a worker. take time to enjoy the beautiful family and home. soon Ed and Willie will be gone and on their own....enjoy them.

I can see the guest room looking fantastic! What amazing finds. Your husband and son made great side-kicks in the video!😆
lalamazu thanks
Green throws on the ends of beds would look awesome ☺️
The guest room looks gorgeous
I wouldn't paint that furniture either. ..I love it as is!
TheodorouC72 Nah I changed my mind, I think I will keep them that way

You deserve a huge break . Great job. You make it look so easy..thanks for sharing
Hope you do more videos like this. Loved it!! Your guest are gonna be very happy:) And you family is adorable!
Kiddos Koral Will do
Just found you on UA-cam and absolutely love watching you. You are delightful.
what a wonderfully inviting room for your in-laws! you did a beautiful job.
i love the bad and how you did the bed room
I love how your son said he was not part of this episode...lol !!! I really enjoy watching your videos and getting some great ideas. You're an inspiration.
ur voice is lovely be careful I used to take stuff of the street but u can get bed bugs that way

I myself kind of like myself at a plump size 14 and my husband has stayed with me for 35 years! Diets have always seemed to me, an unwarranted stress in my life, after a bout of anorexia in my early 20's. I am enjoying your videos. Thank you, and good luck with your efforts to get healthy.
Deborah Jabara right? She's beautiful and I don't even notice her weight I think she's great xo
I really love the dresser & headboards & footboards! Can hardly wait to see how the beds look after your painting magic! *I'm pretty sure your rewards are the gratifications & satisfaction, of seeing how a little love & a lot of hard work, can transform happiness within & beauty all around!
Hi, I'm a newbie to your channel and enjoyed this very much. My flat is like your before pictures so great inspiration! Thank you.
Julie Quick i know the feeling, it is overwhelming, I wish there was a magic trick to keep things clear of clutter, unfortunately I am not a minimalist, so I just have to learn to put things back where they belong.
That marshals is so neat! Mins is always so disorganized things on top of other things it's hard to find anything 😁
+Kala that's too bad, poor management I guess.
I love watching you and it's great to see your family too!
haysmom25 thank you
You are like the energizer Bunny....you just keep going!! Phew! Watching you makes me tired...but inspired!! ❤
What a beautiful home.
Glad I found you! Your guest room is beautiful! You're very good at what you do!
Donna Smith Thank you
This is the first video of yours that I have seen and can I just say that you are AMAZING. You accomplished so much in one day! Wonder Woman!
You did a beautiful job!! Great guest room. Loved watching your video. I am a new subscriber and can't wait to see more videos. I love to watch cleaning, before and after videos.
Hi, just found your channel while browsing at organization videos, didn't think I'll watch your whole video as it looked too long, but I did and I really enjoyed it! It's such a true reality to many of busy family homes, and me as a mom feel overwhelmed a lot of times when my home gets this way. Subscribed loved to see more vblogs
Good luck on your weight journey and you have a lovely family:)
Zahraa Naama thanks
You really take good care of your guests. Great job!
Brilliant video. Thank you so much
I love the video! Your house is very nice. You remind me of myself with the shopping and cleaning. It's hard for me to maintain the entire house while focusing on one area.
CrissyAlwaysSunny I can t keep up. I am not sure if it s bad habits or too much stuff or not having proper systems in place or a combination of all 3
Love your videos so much that I'm going back to catch up on ones before I subscribed. Sophia you are one of my favourites. You motivate me so much and I love that you are so genuine.
I do everything myself too. I have the same problem. There’s still the housework to do.
wow the guest room look wonderful!!!! good job!!!
+Sultana Maryama it is my favorite room in the house...too bad it is never used!
Love your guest room!
I almost can smell the clean of your home, I love this smell. I work full time , my husband as well and we have a 15 year old son and at weekends we all clean the house .I do most of it of course I try to delegate but doesn't always work , my son is suffering from something that my mother use to call laziness, have you heard? If not be aware , very sever on boys.
I better go to bed now tomorrow I have lots to do . Take care and have a great restful weekend.

I'm just like you, bringing things in, taking things out, being manic around the house lol. I enjoyed your video very much:)
I love your videos, and this vlog is great, do more please :)
Your family is beautiful!
Sorry for my english.
Love from Brazil
Sophia, I love your videos! I've only been a subscriber for a short while but you are such a pleasure to watch. You do a wonderful job taking care of your house and I really enjoy the way you decorate (really LOVE the fox in the guestroom!). Anyway, just wanted to say hello.
Your husband is very handsome and seems nice. Your son is also adorable. I wish I had even a quarter of your energy I am subscribing for sure.
+NightDreamPrincess thank you....I do get tired though, I just don't film that part LOL
Hi ! I'm French and I loved watching your video. I love to see people cleaning their house too. I've noticed that you speack a little french, that was good ! I'm going to see your channel. A bientôt !
je suis francaise. lol
Thanks for not being perfect; just like the rest of us! Very inspiring video! Thanks for taking the time to share your efforts with us!
Hubby and I finally watched your hubby's video....nice!.jerry liked it
katherine62226 oh good, team watching! Thank you!
My father in law is coming next week......I'm running in the same way you are! Although, I strive to keep a very clean home, I always see things that, at least in my mind, needs to be done. You keep me inspired!
Donna Shaw lol!
Great job! I love the cleaning videos. They're very motivational!
brightpurpleviking good, thanks
Very Motivating, So glad I found your Channel Thanks for Sharing!!
lalathaqueen100 You re welcome!
I love this video - thanks for sharing. I always think I find it far more exhausting than most to keep on top of the house. I can get it lovely but with a massive amount of time and effort then it's a mess again within a day at most and usually so fatigued from the initial effort that I juat can't face doing it all again immediately - maybe that just means I'm lazy but to me it feels like genuine exhaustion lol! I'm feeling motivated now so shall crack on. Best wishes from Kent, England x
Think it's a great idea to give your children wee jobs. Mine are 16 and 12, they are home about 40 min before me..... When I get in from work they have emptied dishwasher and put on laundry. Just those wee jobs done helps soooo much. Love this kind of video Sophia ! X
Dear Sophia, i really love your videos. You are an inspiration! I still did not see all of this one but just want to say that i was surprised and happy to see that you bought the J soap for your mother in law and it is from a portuguese brand
i know this is an old video, but i am binge watching. You are a great daughter-in-law.
Love the video Sophia! You certainly blew up your Activelink with all of that work. You certainly earned all of those activity points and then some!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Matty Trembley 4 points of activity that day! Yay!
I love your videos!!! I'm looking forward to lot more videos from you, thanks!
I dint know I liked to see people clean. You've inspired me!!!
Im torn because i have traditionally loved nick nacks but now i need to declutter so i can manage. Great to see your vlog and your comments. Helpful as usual. Nice to know I'm not alone at chasing my own tail lol. Take care xx
Beachlovingaussie thank you
Another real lady cleaning up is MY NEW ME. She's been ill and has different chronic conditions and finally felt well enough to tackle her house. And she's not rich either so her house is smaller without all the fancy stuff that helps with cleaning.
Oh I loved this video, fab look into your day!
Loved this and all your other vids.
I have two sons still living at home but I tend not to get them involved in my cleaning, I quite enjoy doing it myself.....I know it has been done properly then also...heehee - it is also good exercise and it feels good when it is all done.
Linda (UK) x
PointingTheWeigh I feel the same way, though the boys have chores around the house.
Love your findings!! wow that's a nice mirror and dresser. You got the guest room looking really nice . I really enjoyed watching. I love to clean , but I have to make sure I do it myself only because i have to do it a certain way .lol oh also so glad your not painting your dresser, love oak furniture ! Thanks again for a another great video!
Emily Kiesling I think it's grown on me, I really wanted to paint it, but it gives a richer look to the room that way. I may change the lamps and the table in between the two beds.
Oh boy I have really enjoyed your videos. I think this is good for me giving me a chance to see how others clean. You just seem like a power house of energy. Oh and I love your accent. Blessings.
Just found your channel, love it 😍
