    Janine, may I say a word or two of caution from experience. When I was a kid my brother climbed into the counter to reach the candy in the upper cabinets. He fell and hit his mouth on the countertop and he bit his tongue %99 off. It was held on by only a "string". He was rushed to emergency to have his tongue sewn back on. I guess as a kid you want to help or want to reach too high...
    My youngest son has a head scar from running to jumping on a sofa and hit a hard object close by instead.
    Hey, I am a overly cautious mom too. I watched my kids like a hawk 24/7. But they still get into danger when you turn your back or when you have to use the bathroom...
    We love them so much. Even now when my three are 51, 49, 47... 😱 I am always praying God please watch over our kids. God bless you, Dawn
    This is my word of caution. It's not worth it.

    I had a neighbor come over one day and ask how I keep my house clean. My advise was do one room at a time don’t jump around. Awhile later I talked to her she was thankful for the advise. I love watching your posts. Your home is beautiful!

    My whole house is a mess, I’m overwhelmed and simply can’t get myself to do it. I’m watching this to encourage my self that this is possible, I’m not a messy person, I’m not lazy and that I can do this. My deadline is tomorrow so I need majority done today with just least minute stuff for tomorrow. Wish me luck on my anxiety/adhd filled cleaning journey.

I love how excited Xander is about his sister... and how he enjoyed looking through the outfits for her. He is also growing into quite a helper! Have a wonderful weekend!

    If this is what you consider a disaster you're doing. Pretty darn well, This looks perfect, this is just quick. Tidying not really deep cleaning when things have piled up. And you can't see your countertops because of either illness or something has happened. Or you've been away for a long time. That's a disaster that's what most of us are dealing with when we click on your video.😂

    This was wonderful, Jeannine! You make us all feel so normal bc the housework will always be there since we are yes, living in our houses. Once again, Xander was the heart and joy of the video and my husband and I thought it was so sweet when he got excited to carry the bags of baby clothes upstairs. He takes joy in just well, everything and it's so wonderful! What a blessing and a great help tht kids are when we just give them the chance to be involved. I tried to do tht with our little guy as our firstborn but realize I could have went even further...loved Xander's attn to putting the silverware away, carefully placing each piece in the correct slot! I forgot to comment on your video before this one, but I definitely agree about what you said with boys clothes as compared to girls clothes. I felt uncomfortable buying the Itchy frillly stuff for our baby girl way back then bc I had wanted her to wear things that were comfortable while also, being modest. That is what I saw for the most part as a struggle for purchasing clothes for our little girl... So many of the clothes were not modest in appearance. But today, it seems that there are so many more options to choose from. I didn't have access to those nice resale shops when our children were little but that would have been great as well. I also liked the colorful Florals! You might end up finding it easier to dress your girl after all since you have so much support with your sisters and sister-in-law Etc especially since you mentioned many of them sew and so, they can help you out with future dresses. But I know that you sew as well;) My mom made so many of our clothes. By the way, I think your dress is pretty that you have on in this video! But wanted to say yes I agree with the girly stuff... I had even been intimidated by the bows and headbands and didn't ever buy those and now I wish I would have at least bought those. Did I say we just love Xander?! So excited and happy for y'all, have a blessed day!

    I am a neatness fanatic married to a slob. It is a constant battle for us - each pulling in our direction.I no sooner get a room cleaned up then he dumps a load of junk in that space. AAARRRGGGH. And , of course , he feels he no sooner brings something in that he wants to work on, and I pick it up to cart it back out to the garage! We have been married 39 years & this has continued throughout that time. Over the years we have each mellowed somewhat over this, but there is no real solution.
    Zander is such a sweetheart, and so intelligent.He far exceeds what other 4 year olds can do because he seems to be able to stay more focused than most boys that age.He is certainly excited about the baby coming.

    One room is how I do it, when I look at one room it’s not overwhelming, than I move on to the next, good job! Zander is such a good boy, giving him little jobs, makes him feel so proud, and he sure loves his Mommy! 👍❤️🙏

    For your rug, they have rug tape. It's double sided. It's great it tapes the carpet and the rug. It doesn't damage the rug or carpet. Your son is so sweet, give him a big hug!😀

    I love that nightlight! Very cool! your video was very inspiring. For the rug.....I've in the past double taped it to the floor with grey tape. What a great helper Zander was today!
