I hope you make more of these! I have tried so many cleaning "systems" and routines and never been able to implement one successfully long-term. I am a chronic over thinker and spend way too much time planning and making lists and not actually doing the stuff. But this actual hour-long video, I was able to follow along and NOT get distracted and start doing all kinds of other things, because I didn't want to get behind, and actually got things cleaned! I have watched this three weeks in a row and cleaned everything with each hour - I am so thrilled! So the more the merrier - I have no problem watching the same video over and over weekly, but new 1-hour video clean-alongs would be very welcome too. Thank you so much!
I love this! Did my whole house. I hope you decide to make these into a series… or do one every few months. Don’t stress about repeating footage because it’s hard to watch every moment when actually cleaning😅 I’d love a countdown timer in the corner of the vid for each task and maybe a chime when there’s one minute left for every task.
Oh my! As a person with ADHD I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I have lost all hope with my home. I have severe issues with executive function making cleaning a harder task. This is PERFECT ❤️
I struggle with the same stuff. It can be especially disheartening when it seems like it's a lot easier for other people to maintain a home! Hope you know you're not alone
I have "adult ADHD" aka I went undiagnosed for my entire youth... I've been following the flylady routine for just over a month and it is amazing! I love that it's about progress and not perfection, I love that she adds self care into her daily tasks (things we often neglect like hydrating, exercising, washing our face!), And I love the way she splits up zones and the tasks within zones so that you can just complete tasks when there is time. Anti-procrastination day is also a life saver. Idk if flylady knows that her routine is perfect for those of us with ADHD, but she should be marketing it as such.
I am 65. In our household is my husband, mom, myself and 2 dogs. I have 3 grown children. Despite the differences in where we are in our lives I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Keep them coming! You appeal to all ages! 😊 May God continue to bless you and your ministry!
I rarely ever comment, but I have to say this has really motivated me. I did the whole hour with you and it was my first weekly home blessing. I kinda feel like there's just so much left, but I'm also proud to have done it! I think I'll clean with you soon again!
@@ThatAwkwardMom there’s suction when you try to pull up on the garbage bag and every girl struggles with that it gives me so much anxiety when girls take out the garbage makes me wanna squeeze their hand tight I bet those grey garbage bags feel weird on your soft hands remember there’s suction and every girl struggles with the suction
No, they have been chirping in my neighborhood, and it has been cold. They have been chirping every time the rain stops for about 30 to 45 minutes. This day Easter Sunday, it was finally a bit warmer, yes they were singing about 3pm. They sounded quite Happy. I was washing the loads of whites.
My favorite UA-cam video ever!!! Hosted Easter yesterday for about 25 people, half of them kids; this video helped me clean so much that the only prof of the event are the pictures and videos. I hope this video made you millions so you make them quarterly.
I love your story about how you met your friend. It reminded me of my friendship with my neighbor. I would go over and talk to her when she was pulling weeds or help her clean her house before family get togethers. We would cook together; she taught me how to make pasta. It was so nice to have someone to hang out with and do mundane things with. I really miss her, we both moved to other states. I miss having a friendship like that, easy and casual.
I feel this I have a friend like this. We moved away from each other and now she is moving 6hrs away but I’m planning monthly trips for long weekends to sit on her couch and help here fold laundry 😅
Your comments about the stuffed animals was so on point. With two kids, we amassed an entire menagerie. Really it was ridiculous and 99% were gifts of course.
You're really brave putting an unpredictable baby on those gorgeous white sheets. I have NOTHING white in my house and 6 kids running around 😅 Love your content so much!
Loved this, I must admit, I MAY have left the ads running so I could catch up and I only got 2 windows done in 10 mins 😅. Could do with adding a quick clean of the bathroom in this clean too, then it would be a perfect house blessing. Thank you Ariel, it was great chatting with you while cleaning 😂
Yep, I did the whole hour with you. Sometimes I missed a cut off because I was upstairs vacuuming or whatever. I will definitely do this with you again!
That Awkward Mom's weekly home blessing video is the perfect combination of cleaning motivation and entertainment. Her witty commentary and hilarious tangos with household objects had me laughing out loud while still feeling inspired to tackle my own cleaning tasks. Thanks, That Awkward Mom, for making cleaning a little less mundane and a lot more fun!
Love your humour and sarcasm! (And dancing! Haha) Think if we met in person we would get along. Thank you for these videos - you make my days lighter with laughter and my home more enjoyable. ❤ I’m drowning in stuffies also and cleaning as quiet as I can because I’m up too early due to the birds 😂. I’m STILL mad about Lost. I threw stuff that night.
First "home blessing"! Not too shabby. The timing of each task is off from how long it actually takes for me (i.e. changing sheets takes longer while taking out the trash takes far less), but the motivation of cleaning with someone else and using a timer is effective even if I "cheated" quite a bit. It's amazing how much a clean home can lift your spirits!
Ah you did it! Haha I voted yes. Thanks! You're the best human timer, Ariel. I'll keep everyone off the beds and clean soon. And love your down to earth hilariousness and randomness ❤
This was the best. Even if im just doing a reset, or my morning routine, I’ll turn this video on now. It makes me think “wow, I’ve only been cleaning for 40 minutes and look how much I’ve gotten done!”
I just want to say thank you so much for making this video. I just cleaned my whole house in an hour. I find it really difficult to stop doing tasks once started... for example, sorting papers, I'd normally get stuck there for ages and never finish what I was actually doing. While frustrating to leave things, I feel better overall now that the hour is complete and my house is clean, even some windows!!! 😳🥰 Thank you Ariel 😊 So helpful to have a human timer 😂
I love how you talk and play music to keep us engaged. I tried watching someone else’s video but it had no commentary. I came back to this video even though I’ve heard it so many times I almost have it memorized. Listening to you while cleaning feels like I’m cleaning with a friend. It kept me motivated the whole time. Thank you!!
I made a new hour long clean with me recently, called the tidy Tango!! Very similar to the weekly home blessing if you want to check it out for something new :)
The perfect video at the perfect time! THANK YOU! 😊 My week (the past 7 days or so) has sucked. I don't know why it sucked, but your video fixed it. Thanks! Gave me the guts & gumption to dump the cold gross broth from my crockpot and to clean not only the toilet but the toilet brush holder. I'm sayin', your videos are the bomb!
Been really struggling to get chores done.... so glade l can clean with you... even though it is 9pm here 😂. Love your motivation. I made a hammock for my kids favourite stuffed toys only. 😊
I have to say, it was nice cleaning along with all you ladies :) as much as we all have different lives, and live in different places, it's still a lovely community 💜
I'm at a different stage of motherhood, but looking back to 20 years ago it was truly a blessing to have other mom friends to spend time with, so glad you're sharing this!
It was really enjoyable to do the weekly home blessing hour with you! I’ve been doing the flylady routines on and off for I think 17 years now. I tried other routines, but I alway come back to her. I’m glad you’ve done more hour long videos, I hope to follow along with you again.
My Dad!!! He has always cleaned the house!!! Laundry, dishes, sweeping and vacuuming, he does it all!! He has even been caught cleaning my baseboards in the bathroom during Thanksgiving and cleaning out my vacuum head!! He taught me all I know and I have just maximized his awesome cleaning skills!
I wasnt expecting to see a new vid and definitely not one thats an hour which is awesome!! Was about to go highlight my daughters hair but shes gonna have to wait an hour now😂. Your flylady vids have motivated me like nothing else and i need some of that ariel motivation right now! It blows my mind that you and my daughter are the same age and in such different places in life. I had her at 19 and was where you are until i was 23 and then a single mom. Her dad was impatient and didnt participate anymore than he had to after the first week of shiny new baby passed. Which is sad bc all i wanted in life up to that point was a family like you have. I made my daughter go to college bc i didnt want her to struggle like i did and now she has an associates in art and science and a bachelors in art and education and has found that the education part of that was a mistake so shes not sure what she wants to do with her life anymore but at least i get to keep her with me until she figures it out. Yes, im that mom😂. Shes 28 and im still buying her fruit snacks and the little apple and cheese packs to take to "school" (work). Brat wont let me do first day of school pics like all the parents with kids going back do. Whats the fun in that? Anyway, gonna go put this video on my tv so i can get my cleaning done today around doing hair and going to see mario bros later. Have a new client coming early in the morning to get her very long hair curled and styled for easter service and a family party after. So of course, i want my house spotless when she comes. Have a happy easter with your littles and thank you for this new video!!💜🐇🐰💙⚘️🪻
I can,t believe it. I have counter space. My bed is fresh and clean. I'm not sticking to the floors. In an hour! I can't wait to do this over and over again. Thank you so much
I'm going to be a grandma in October!! NO STUFFED ANIMALS! I live with my daughter and her husband. She's 3 months pregnant. They went out shopping, so I cleaned their bathroom for them.
This is genius! I only got to minute 33, because First my daughter demanded attention and then my husband demanded attention 😄 But even so our place sure looks better than before! Big thank you from Germany!
Stopped the video at 26 seconds and made me ready to clean with you … what I did and it was fun! Thank you for making me do this! Sorry for my English.
Ariel, I found your channel while looking into FLYLADY. And I am blessed by you both. You are a beacon of light in this crazy world. The Lord has blessed you with such a wonderful sense of humor. My body is 60 but in my head I’m still in my 30’s lol. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. Oh, when I was young,my dream was to be a jockey. I’m 6’ so that didn’t work out 😂
You are doing a great job!!! You are very entertaining. I don’t know how you get all this done with young children to care for. Keep up the amazing job!
Hi! I did it 🎉 It was more than an hour - thanks to the ads 😂 Its not perfect (with two small kids, thats an expectation I said goodbye to) but its better than before and I feel so comfy in my home now ❤ Thanks to you, I am obsessed with flylady now, started it a week ago and my home was never so good looking since my cleaning lady left me 😂 I will do my home blessing on fridays, because then you enjoy the nice clean home on the weekend. And its my „free“ morning since I don‘t go to work on fridays. Thank you so much for your mood boosting content. ❤ Have a nice weekend 😊 Sabine
Ok I don’t know what kind of spell you’re casting but please keep doing it! Last time I watches one of your videos, my five year old decided to dust and then clean his room. Spontaneously. And he finished. All on his own with no complaining or even asking for help. And then today when I put on this video my 7yo decided to dust, clean the windows, and put away his clean clothes! And then he told me I need to finish loading the dishes 😂 Just thought I’d let you know you’re a sorcerer and I’m baffled and grateful!
I almost did not comment, as I am not yet a mother. However, I am newly married with a full-time home based job and a new home to regulate alongside. Growing up, I had the dusting momma and in our family that was my job. XD This was a lot of fun! Timer's stress me out, so having a reliable one mixed with your 2010 rap, music, and havering is lovely. I usually put on a series of songs, but being told to move on was helpful, and at the end I have a good Idea of where I need to keep up more (cough, 2 kittens and a dog). I realize this is the FLY Lady routine since I just lerned about her this week(FLY by the way is Finally Loving Yourself, which I may be the last to know) but thank you for getting me to focus. I am a bit of a perfectionist and it is hard for me to go from one thing to another without.. you know, this is not about me. Thank you Ariel! ^.^ Next week I shall see how the FLY Lady's video compares. The standard for TrashBag Tango is very high.
Hey Ariel, you’re closing in on 100k! Whoot whoot🎉. I have a couple of ideas for your future clean with me videos. While doing the cleaning times, you could mention which products or methods you do, like cleaning windows with a micro fiber cloth, you could give a secondary activity, and mention decluttering, it’s hard to change all the sheets when the guest bed is covered in stuff.😮. I also like the idea someone mentioned about a countdown timer on screen. Keep being the awkward girl we love.❤
Wish I had a friend like you. We’d definitely have a barrel of laughs in a regular and be awkward together. Lol. Cleaned with the video. Thank you! Got me motivated again😊
I used to do this so often with you before the Tidy Tango! Did it today fir the first time in so long- had not touched my papers or cleaned windows in all that time 😂😂 but I do prefer the Tidy Tango because it doesn’t take me 10 minutes to change my sheets and I like having the dishes and bathroom included in my house reset❤️❤️
I think I found you cause I follow FlyLady. I followed her years ago and then life took over. Now a little older I went back because of downsizing. Her system is still a bit hard so I watched you and others and now I watch you for entertainment also. May I say you explain FlyLady the best. I love Dana and Cas and Minimal Mom. I still, to this day, struggle with weekly home blessing but I will do with you. TY
You are awesome at being the human timer and making us laugh as we clean with you. Please keep making videos like this as housekeeping is something that we all hate but need to do. You add flair to it and I don’t feel like I’m cleaning because I’m laughing. WTG Arial! Thanks so much!
Thank you soooo much for this inspiration!!! I am recovering from Covid atm… (not too terrible but being sick sucks😒) homeschooling mamma of 7 here and my house is a disaster! Just not big enough and super chopped up and laundry in the downstair bathroom and hallway 😒😩😭 terrible spot!! 21 months 4, 6,9,12,14,&17 so all stages of stuff is out full time! I pair things down alllll the time and try to make things work better ( ie ,( yup I’m “That girl” haha that is constantly rearranging furniture to make it better!!! Oh and 4 of theses awesomeness of kiddos are BOYS!! 14,12,4&21 months I find they make the biggest messes! I will be trying out this weekly blessing cleaning routine!! As soon as Im better!!!🥳🥳🥳
I did it! My first weekly home blessing, and I actually got each task done on or before the timer went off for that task. And, I did not feel rushed...at all Now my zoneccleaning for the week will be way easier! I'm combining my favorite parts of The Organised Mum with a few of my favorite parts of Fly Lady. And I added the app to all my productivity tools. And I love it! I hope you do more Weekly Home Blessing hour videos. This is a game changer, and I love listening to you while I clean.
I’m the mom that needed to hear what you said about putting myself out there for mom friends. I have my family but it would be nice to have someone going through “mom stuff” at the same time as me. This video was helpful and full of entertainment. Thank you! I always look forward to seeing your videos. ❤
I first found Flylady spring of 2007, and still come back to many of her habits when I'm feeling overwhelmed keeping up with life. I always clean my shower when I'm in it, I occasionally swish and swipe, I know everything will look better (but not perfect) in 15 minutes, and I know decluttering is the key to home organization. However, this was the first time I ever did a weekly home blessing hour in an hour. I've broken up the tasks before and done them through the week, but there really was something magic about how my house felt doing it all at once. Thank you for making this video.
Had to come back and say thank you for sharing!! I watched this at work to get motor and then watched again at home and my house is so much better for it!
I’ve done the weekly home blessing before but I didn’t enjoy it and I got easily distracted. However, working along with your video made all the difference! You’re entertaining and kept me motivated!
I didn't do my home blessing while watching, but I unpacked several moving boxes, decluttered my office, and organized craft supplies. I work better on my own, but it gets lonely, so your video was a great help!
Happy to see another one of your fabulous videos are out! You’re an outstanding Mom and a wonderful person! Thanks for all you do to keep us motivated and moving! 🙋♀️💕🌴🇺🇸💕
I’m here for the third week in a row watching your video to be motivated to bless my house. I’ve been skipping the mopping because one, my vacuum is too loud and I can’t hear you say switch to mopping, and two, I haven’t had a decent mop. That changed today. I swept then mopped with the brand new mop my husband got me this weekend. I’ll vacuum when the kids are done with their naps. Thank you for the video, and I’ll see you next week. And you’re right, we need more hour cleaning videos! Would you consider doing another one?
Hello my beautiful friend! This was a long video but I love how you actually took us through the entire process! Thank you for that. I sat on the couch thru this but I have always avoided the home blessing routine. Yes, you've actually got me to want to try this. I will start today. Love 💕💕💕 you so much. 😘
Loved this and thank you! I'm 51 and was feeling lonely and unmotivated - my husband works 2nd shift including weekends. I cleaned along with you for the whole hour! 🙂
I just did my first home blessing with you too! My mom introduced Flylady to me as a kid, but I don’t think of her again for years until I came across your videos in search of help transitioning to my new role, when I decided to quit work as a teacher upon becoming pregnant. I am currently working on baby steps and was intimidated by this task, but you just made it so fun!
Great job!! I really love the Weekly Home Blessing because you get so much done without feeling like you wasted your day. And when you do it every week, sometimes it takes even less than an hour!
I joined you today for the hour of home blessing. A nice way to describe cleaning. I appreciate this. Cleaning can become boring very quickly, but nothing boring about you! You have the shiniest floors! Thank you for putting this together. It’s hard to keep up with everything that is on our plate, but some fun & humor goes a long way to keep the motivation up. I also appreciate you sharing your experience in having the courage to ask that other mom about walking together. You both gained a friend, and couldn’t we all benefit from gaining another friend. Thank you
Your kitchen floor is huge! I can hand mop ( use a wet rag, and A spray cleaner) in a few minutes. I can't imagine doing all floors (vacuuming and mopping) all at once. I do a different area, on different days. Usually split across 2 days. So the floors are "mostly clean" all the time.
I almost had to turn off the video when you asked if we knew what dust was made of... because ignorance is BLISS! But then I asked myself if Ariel had ever steered us wrong, and of course the answer is no. And let me tell you, now that I know what dust is made of, I am MOTIVATED!! 😂😂 I love your reflection on the different cleaning methods. As always, you brought a smile to my and my daughter's faces on a Saturday. And while (true confession) I did not do a weekly home blessing along with this video today, I did listen while folding a monster pile of laundry, so that's something! ❤ I raise my cup of Josephus to you!
I hope you make more of these! I have tried so many cleaning "systems" and routines and never been able to implement one successfully long-term. I am a chronic over thinker and spend way too much time planning and making lists and not actually doing the stuff. But this actual hour-long video, I was able to follow along and NOT get distracted and start doing all kinds of other things, because I didn't want to get behind, and actually got things cleaned!

So the more the merrier - I have no problem watching the same video over and over weekly, but new 1-hour video clean-alongs would be very welcome too. Thank you so much!
You are so adorable! Keep the videos coming. I'm 70 years old and still need encouragement and humor to deal with my cleaning and clutter.
I love this! Did my whole house. I hope you decide to make these into a series… or do one every few months. Don’t stress about repeating footage because it’s hard to watch every moment when actually cleaning😅
I’d love a countdown timer in the corner of the vid for each task and maybe a chime when there’s one minute left for every task.
Oh my! As a person with ADHD I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I have lost all hope with my home. I have severe issues with executive function making cleaning a harder task. This is PERFECT ❤️
Me too...I get so overwhelmed and distracted it looks like I didn't do anything this video helped
I struggle with the same stuff. It can be especially disheartening when it seems like it's a lot easier for other people to maintain a home! Hope you know you're not alone
Me too!
I have "adult ADHD" aka I went undiagnosed for my entire youth... I've been following the flylady routine for just over a month and it is amazing!

It’s like body doubling! This was just amazing! Ariel has no idea how much she is blessing her viewers ❤❤❤
I am 65. In our household is my husband, mom, myself and 2 dogs. I have 3 grown children. Despite the differences in where we are in our lives I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Keep them coming! You appeal to all ages! 😊 May God continue to bless you and your ministry!

Aw this makes me happy! I love this! Great work 👏👏

Same here!
A wonderful idea-to have us clean together! What the Minimal Mom calls “body doubling”.
Body doubling only works for me if there is someone physically in my house.
I really adore waking up to the birds chirping. It means it's warm, they're happy and it's going to be a good day!
No, they have been chirping in my neighborhood, and it has been cold. They have been chirping every time the rain stops for about 30 to 45 minutes.
This day Easter Sunday, it was finally a bit warmer, yes they were singing about 3pm. They sounded quite Happy. I was washing the loads of whites.
Came for the cleaning stayed for the comforter dance 🎉😂
Thank you so much! I was laying in bed when I saw this come on and you motivated me to get up! I just did the full hour with you! Huge difference ❤
Yay! That's awesome!!
I want to cry with the amount of motivation I just got to face this monster of a house 😅 this feels magical
❤love this video
Thank you so much 😊
My favorite UA-cam video ever!!! Hosted Easter yesterday for about 25 people, half of them kids; this video helped me clean so much that the only prof of the event are the pictures and videos. I hope this video made you millions so you make them quarterly.
You are so hilarious and unique.
I agree
I love your story about how you met your friend. It reminded me of my friendship with my neighbor. I would go over and talk to her when she was pulling weeds or help her clean her house before family get togethers. We would cook together; she taught me how to make pasta. It was so nice to have someone to hang out with and do mundane things with. I really miss her, we both moved to other states. I miss having a friendship like that, easy and casual.

You're really brave putting an unpredictable baby on those gorgeous white sheets. I have NOTHING white in my house and 6 kids running around 😅 Love your content so much!
The weekly home blessing hour has always intimated me so this really helped me. Thank you and if you do another one, I’ll tune in again for sure! 😊😊😊
Loved this, I must admit, I MAY have left the ads running so I could catch up and I only got 2 windows done in 10 mins 😅. Could do with adding a quick clean of the bathroom in this clean too, then it would be a perfect house blessing. Thank you Ariel, it was great chatting with you while cleaning 😂
The expression on your face when you do your dancing is classic! You make my day 🤣 I look forward to doing my home blessing each week 😍
Yep, I did the whole hour with you. Sometimes I missed a cut off because I was upstairs vacuuming or whatever. I will definitely do this with you again!
That Awkward Mom's weekly home blessing video is the perfect combination of cleaning motivation and entertainment.

This was the best. Even if im just doing a reset, or my morning routine, I’ll turn this video on now. It makes me think “wow, I’ve only been cleaning for 40 minutes and look how much I’ve gotten done!”
Thanks to your videos I finally started to fold laundry in front of TV. Game changer
It makes it an enjoyable experience!!
I just want to say thank you so much for making this video. I just cleaned my whole house in an hour. I find it really difficult to stop doing tasks once started... for example, sorting papers, I'd normally get stuck there for ages and never finish what I was actually doing. While frustrating to leave things, I feel better overall now that the hour is complete and my house is clean, even some windows!!! 😳🥰 Thank you Ariel 😊 So helpful to have a human timer 😂

😁
Got me out of bed and cleaning this morning! Now to finish unpacking before guests arrive 😂
Been really struggling to get chores done.... so glade l can clean with you... even though it is 9pm here 😂. Love your motivation. I made a hammock for my kids favourite stuffed toys only. 😊
This is just what I needed…a cleaning buddy! Thank you, thank you!
I cannot tell you how amazing you are! Thank you for being so authentic! Love your videos!
Did this today! Half way through, baby woke up. So he got his connect time while I held him and dusted and vacuumed 😅😂🎉
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
You are amazing and I love watching .Thank you for sharing🤗
I have to say, it was nice cleaning along with all you ladies :) as much as we all have different lives, and live in different places, it's still a lovely community 💜
Wow, I love the way you made this video, doing the chores/ while you explain what and why you're doing them! It helped me to do mine too!!❤
I'm at a different stage of motherhood, but looking back to 20 years ago it was truly a blessing to have other mom friends to spend time with, so glad you're sharing this!
It was really enjoyable to do the weekly home blessing hour with you! I’ve been doing the flylady routines on and off for I think 17 years now. I tried other routines, but I alway come back to her. I’m glad you’ve done more hour long videos, I hope to follow along with you again.
My Dad!!! He has always cleaned the house!!! Laundry, dishes, sweeping and vacuuming, he does it all!! He has even been caught cleaning my baseboards in the bathroom during Thanksgiving and cleaning out my vacuum head!! He taught me all I know and I have just maximized his awesome cleaning skills!

Brat wont let me do first day of school pics like all the parents with kids going back do. Whats the fun in that? Anyway, gonna go put this video on my tv so i can get my cleaning done today around doing hair and going to see mario bros later. Have a new client coming early in the morning to get her very long hair curled and styled for easter service and a family party after. So of course, i want my house spotless when she comes. Have a happy easter with your littles and thank you for this new video!!💜🐇🐰💙⚘️🪻
Did this entire video with you. In only one hour my house is significantly better!
I can,t believe it. I have counter space. My bed is fresh and clean. I'm not sticking to the floors. In an hour! I can't wait to do this over and over again. Thank you so much
I'm going to be a grandma in October!! NO STUFFED ANIMALS! I live with my daughter and her husband. She's 3 months pregnant. They went out shopping, so I cleaned their bathroom for them.
This is genius! I only got to minute 33, because First my daughter demanded attention and then my husband demanded attention 😄
But even so our place sure looks better than before!
Big thank you from Germany!
Stopped the video at 26 seconds and made me ready to clean with you … what I did and it was fun! Thank you for making me do this! Sorry for my English.
Ariel, I found your channel while looking into FLYLADY. And I am blessed by you both. You are a beacon of light in this crazy world. The Lord has blessed you with such a wonderful sense of humor. My body is 60 but in my head I’m still in my 30’s lol. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your channel. Oh, when I was young,my dream was to be a jockey. I’m 6’ so that didn’t work out 😂
I'm a single dad to nine dogs, cleaning habits and I are tighter than my high school sized 34 pants.
Lol
You are doing a great job!!! You are very entertaining. I don’t know how you get all this done with young children to care for. Keep up the amazing job!
Hi!
I did it 🎉
It was more than an hour - thanks to the ads 😂
Its not perfect (with two small kids, thats an expectation I said goodbye to) but its better than before and I feel so comfy in my home now ❤
Thanks to you, I am obsessed with flylady now, started it a week ago and my home was never so good looking since my cleaning lady left me 😂
I will do my home blessing on fridays, because then you enjoy the nice clean home on the weekend. And its my „free“ morning since I don‘t go to work on fridays.
Thank you so much for your mood boosting content. ❤
Have a nice weekend 😊
Sabine
I’m going to watch this again. I did it too. Thanks for the motivation and humor.
Ok I don’t know what kind of spell you’re casting but please keep doing it! Last time I watches one of your videos, my five year old decided to dust and then clean his room. Spontaneously. And he finished. All on his own with no complaining or even asking for help. And then today when I put on this video my 7yo decided to dust, clean the windows, and put away his clean clothes! And then he told me I need to finish loading the dishes 😂 Just thought I’d let you know you’re a sorcerer and I’m baffled and grateful!
Woah!!!!!
I almost did not comment, as I am not yet a mother. However, I am newly married with a full-time home based job and a new home to regulate alongside. Growing up, I had the dusting momma and in our family that was my job. XD
This was a lot of fun! Timer's stress me out, so having a reliable one mixed with your 2010 rap, music, and havering is lovely. I usually put on a series of songs, but being told to move on was helpful, and at the end I have a good Idea of where I need to keep up more (cough, 2 kittens and a dog). I realize this is the FLY Lady routine since I just lerned about her this week(FLY by the way is Finally Loving Yourself, which I may be the last to know) but thank you for getting me to focus. I am a bit of a perfectionist and it is hard for me to go from one thing to another without.. you know, this is not about me. Thank you Ariel! ^.^ Next week I shall see how the FLY Lady's video compares. The standard for TrashBag Tango is very high.
This was so fun! I got my home blessing done for the first time in years. It motivated me to get going but also helped me stop and not overdo it
Loved this so much!!! Please make more like this!!!
Sweet lady, bless you, enjoy your Resurrection Sunday!😁♥️
Hey Ariel, you’re closing in on 100k! Whoot whoot🎉. I have a couple of ideas for your future clean with me videos. While doing the cleaning times, you could mention which products or methods you do, like cleaning windows with a micro fiber cloth, you could give a secondary activity, and mention decluttering, it’s hard to change all the sheets when the guest bed is covered in stuff.😮. I also like the idea someone mentioned about a countdown timer on screen.
Keep being the awkward girl we love.❤
Wish I had a friend like you. We’d definitely have a barrel of laughs in a regular and be awkward together. Lol. Cleaned with the video. Thank you! Got me motivated again😊
No coffee just tea for me! Dancing is epic 🤩🤩🤩 Hope you and your family have a lovely Easter 🐣
I used to do this so often with you before the Tidy Tango! Did it today fir the first time in so long- had not touched my papers or cleaned windows in all that time 😂😂 but I do prefer the Tidy Tango because it doesn’t take me 10 minutes to change my sheets and I like having the dishes and bathroom included in my house reset❤️❤️
I think I found you cause I follow FlyLady. I followed her years ago and then life took over. Now a little older I went back because of downsizing. Her system is still a bit hard so I watched you and others and now I watch you for entertainment also. May I say you explain FlyLady the best. I love Dana and Cas and Minimal Mom. I still, to this day, struggle with weekly home blessing but I will do with you. TY
You are awesome at being the human timer and making us laugh as we clean with you. Please keep making videos like this as housekeeping is something that we all hate but need to do. You add flair to it and I don’t feel like I’m cleaning because I’m laughing. WTG Arial! Thanks so much!
Thank you soooo much for this inspiration!!! I am recovering from Covid atm… (not too terrible but being sick sucks😒) homeschooling mamma of 7 here and my house is a disaster! Just not big enough and super chopped up and laundry in the downstair bathroom and hallway 😒😩😭 terrible spot!! 21 months 4, 6,9,12,14,&17 so all stages of stuff is out full time! I pair things down alllll the time and try to make things work better ( ie ,( yup I’m “That girl” haha that is constantly rearranging furniture to make it better!!! Oh and 4 of theses awesomeness of kiddos are BOYS!! 14,12,4&21 months I find they make the biggest messes! I will be trying out this weekly blessing cleaning routine!! As soon as Im better!!!🥳🥳🥳
I did it! My first weekly home blessing, and I actually got each task done on or before the timer went off for that task. And, I did not feel rushed...at all
Now my zoneccleaning for the week will be way easier! I'm combining my favorite parts of The Organised Mum with a few of my favorite parts of Fly Lady. And I added the app to all my productivity tools. And I love it! I hope you do more Weekly Home Blessing hour videos. This is a game changer, and I love listening to you while I clean.
Thank you for the ‘body double’ video. I too have severe adhd. This helped a ton. I am a SAHM of two too.
We have like a dozen stuffed animals. We decluttered them and now we have only the ones we love-love!
Using News Paper works best. No streaks. We always used them when I cleaned apartments with my mom 30 years ago.
Thanks! This is so motivating! Please consider doing the same for the other daily tasks!!!
Thank you for “we always think that things will be harder than they actually are” :)
I’m the mom that needed to hear what you said about putting myself out there for mom friends. I have my family but it would be nice to have someone going through “mom stuff” at the same time as me.
This video was helpful and full of entertainment. Thank you! I always look forward to seeing your videos. ❤
I first found Flylady spring of 2007, and still come back to many of her habits when I'm feeling overwhelmed keeping up with life. I always clean my shower when I'm in it, I occasionally swish and swipe, I know everything will look better (but not perfect) in 15 minutes, and I know decluttering is the key to home organization.
However, this was the first time I ever did a weekly home blessing hour in an hour. I've broken up the tasks before and done them through the week, but there really was something magic about how my house felt doing it all at once. Thank you for making this video.
Had to come back and say thank you for sharing!! I watched this at work to get motor and then watched again at home and my house is so much better for it!
I’ve done the weekly home blessing before but I didn’t enjoy it and I got easily distracted. However, working along with your video made all the difference! You’re entertaining and kept me motivated!
I wish you would make another one of these! This is my go-to cleaning video . 😊
Just get started.We always think things will be harder than they are ( I pray for God’s strength and help)
I’m here again! Thanks for making this video weekly home blessings done in 50 minutes!!! For the win!
I love it!!! 😊
I am going to try this. You do have a way of making me laugh, never a dull moment with you! Thank you!
I didn't do my home blessing while watching, but I unpacked several moving boxes, decluttered my office, and organized craft supplies. I work better on my own, but it gets lonely, so your video was a great help!
Happy to see another one of your fabulous videos are out! You’re an outstanding Mom and a wonderful person! Thanks for all you do to keep us motivated and moving! 🙋♀️💕🌴🇺🇸💕
I’m here for the third week in a row watching your video to be motivated to bless my house. I’ve been skipping the mopping because one, my vacuum is too loud and I can’t hear you say switch to mopping, and two, I haven’t had a decent mop. That changed today. I swept then mopped with the brand new mop my husband got me this weekend. I’ll vacuum when the kids are done with their naps. Thank you for the video, and I’ll see you next week. And you’re right, we need more hour cleaning videos! Would you consider doing another one?
I've only just started your video but I've already put my bedding on to wash. Something I've been putting off...
Hello my beautiful friend! This was a long video but I love how you actually took us through the entire process! Thank you for that. I sat on the couch thru this but I have always avoided the home blessing routine. Yes, you've actually got me to want to try this. I will start today. Love 💕💕💕 you so much. 😘
The clip of you dancing with your comforter made my entire morning infinitely better 🤣💜
😁😁
Thank you so much for the motivation to clean my house and get things ready for my family that is coming over tomorrow.
My new time keeper! I can only stand to work for 10 minutes at the most. I worked 10 tested 10, repeat. My kitchen is my target today.
Loved this and thank you! I'm 51 and was feeling lonely and unmotivated - my husband works 2nd shift including weekends. I cleaned along with you for the whole hour! 🙂
I'm gonna try to follow this on the coming weekend. Thankies! 🙏
I love the real time. This helps a lot. I would love to clean with you every week
Ariel, you changed a lot of sheets 😂 but seriously thank you for this motivation!
This was a really great idea for a video! I'm definitely saving this to use on Mondays! Thank you for making this!!!
I love the flexibility of FlyLady and love the feeling of having my weekly home blessing done.
I thought it was helpful and cute to have baby on the bed while switching sheets ...me too no white, i tried light grey
.nope
I just did my first home blessing with you too! My mom introduced Flylady to me as a kid, but I don’t think of her again for years until I came across your videos in search of help transitioning to my new role, when I decided to quit work as a teacher upon becoming pregnant. I am currently working on baby steps and was intimidated by this task, but you just made it so fun!
Great job!! I really love the Weekly Home Blessing because you get so much done without feeling like you wasted your day. And when you do it every week, sometimes it takes even less than an hour!
I joined you today for the hour of home blessing. A nice way to describe cleaning. I appreciate this. Cleaning can become boring very quickly, but nothing boring about you! You have the shiniest floors! Thank you for putting this together. It’s hard to keep up with everything that is on our plate, but some fun & humor goes a long way to keep the motivation up. I also appreciate you sharing your experience in having the courage to ask that other mom about walking together. You both gained a friend, and couldn’t we all benefit from gaining another friend. Thank you
You're the BEST Ariel! Thank you for this video 😊
THANK YOU for this!! Body doubling to clean house is kicking awesome!
Girl, you are a blessing! 💞
Edited to add that I was so upset by the ending of Lost! Grr!
Your kitchen floor is huge! I can hand mop ( use a wet rag, and A spray cleaner) in a few minutes. I can't imagine doing all floors (vacuuming and mopping) all at once. I do a different area, on different days. Usually split across 2 days. So the floors are "mostly clean" all the time.
I almost had to turn off the video when you asked if we knew what dust was made of... because ignorance is BLISS! But then I asked myself if Ariel had ever steered us wrong, and of course the answer is no. And let me tell you, now that I know what dust is made of, I am MOTIVATED!! 😂😂 I love your reflection on the different cleaning methods. As always, you brought a smile to my and my daughter's faces on a Saturday. And while (true confession) I did not do a weekly home blessing along with this video today, I did listen while folding a monster pile of laundry, so that's something! ❤ I raise my cup of Josephus to you!
☕☕ cheers!! 😁
Currently in the same season of life, toddlers and little babies.. trying to keep up with everything all the time. Love your videos!
I hope you do this again soon! I've watched it several times 😁 love your channel!!! ❤
