Oh, Sarah, I so appreciate your love of home and homemaking. After being married for 53 Years, I can say I love caring for our home. Making it comfortable and welcoming for our children, grandchildren and friends. I don’t do as much cleaning before we leave home as you do, but I do make sure all is neat for when we return. We use mostly Tide, but I am looking to change, and will give Arm and Hammer a try based on your recommendation. I do not use fabric softener, but I use wool dryer balls in the dryer and I think they work very well, no static and you can put a drop or two of essential oils on them and gently scent the laundry. Hope you have a. Wonderful vacation. Safe travels.
I agree leaving your home clean before a vacation really feels the welcome home factor. I love your style it feels relaxing and so inviting no matter home or not. Would love to sit and have a cup of coffee in your home
Sarah I have to tell you how lovely, warm, and welcoming your house looks! I also love homemaking and being a housewife! Watching your videos is so CALMING for me, a restful spot in my stress filled life. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love watching you clean ...it’s so relaxing. You have such a calm demeanor Sarah. I loved being a stay at home Mom and taking care of my home. My children are grown now and on their own, I miss the days of their childhood. Being a Mom and rearing your children is the most important job. Wishing you and your family a lovely, relaxing vacation.
So in agreement with your family and homemaking. Also about departure for a trip away. Your home is precious and well balanced through your art fot thrifting. Your mention of extending your porch toward cottage will be an additional beauty you have going on from your inside to going out~♡~ Thank you for sharing Sarah, lovely trip, traveling mercies and fun memories created while you get away to enjoy and relax🍃🌻🌱 sweet blessings to you each~♡~
I think staying home to be a Mommy, Wife and Homemaker is one of the MOST important jobs. 💖 Believe it or not, I sooo miss being able to clean on my knees. My knees are completely shot🙁
Sarah, you are such a blessing to me! Your mother-in-law must be thrilled to have such a responsible, caring, giving, serving, teachable daughter-in-law. 😊
I love your videos. This one on homemaking was very lovely. I am a stay home wife and I love every day of it. My three boys are grown and have there own families. When they were younger l was a stay home mom until they were on there own. I never regret a day of it. Homemaking is my pride and joy. I love taking care of my home and husband. Thanks for your example and sharing your time. ❤️💕❤️
I do the same thing Sarah before I go on a trip. I always have to put clean sheets on, do laundry,🧺 and clean the house. I call it “nesting” basically feathering my nest.🪺 It’s always so nice to come home to a clean house.🤗
Sarah, I too completely clean my house before I go on vacation or off for a couple days. Always feels so good to come home to a clean house. 😊❤😊enjoy your vacation. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are always so relaxing and calming to watch. I can’t wait to see what you do to the kitchen, it’s like waiting patiently for a gift. Blessings!
Just the perfect video this morning to get me motivated. We just got home late last night and after over 10 hours of grueling traffic I’m ready to enjoy my home. Have fun on your trip. 🎉 We mostly use tide but if another brand is on sale that what we get. Take care ~ Janet 😘
I was a stay at home mom until my youngest was in high school. Now, being by myself, I still love housework and everything that goes along with it. I use the same fabric softener. I think it’s the best smelling and the best value. Your home always looks perfect and so beautiful. Enjoy your vacation. God bless.
My favorite fabric softener is the fresh air. Love hanging my clothes out to dry and the smell of the freshness of the air is so pleasing especially pn your sheets. Leaves the towels and jeans alittle stiff but it is a trade off. Lol
There is nothing better a than returning home, let alone to a clean home. For fabric softer I use vinegar and lavender oil. Smells so fresh and softens towels. Wishing you and your family a wonderful time together.
Hi sweet friend Sarah, ya'll have a wonderful vacation!!! Nice to come home and not have to do anything much but unpack. As always, your home looks beautiful. Luv & blessings to you & the family, Bob & Lisa ❤❤🌺🌺🎶🎶🦋🦋🌝🌝💐💐🌈🌈
Smokie is so adorable Your house and garden are always so pristine and beautifully decorated I agree a wood coffee table in your living space would be great and would highlight the woven blinds on the windows I can’t wait to see the transformation of your front porch What fun to go on a relaxing family vacation. Have a wonderful time
I alternate between Zum frankincense and myrrh, and Molly suds, natural laundry, soaps, and I don’t use fabric softener I use wool dryer balls with essential oils added to them. My clothes stay scented for quite a while after I use the detergent and the dryer balls with the oils on them.
Your home is beautiful. I do the same, I love coming home to a clean house. Homemaking is my favourite thing to do, so thankful that I am able to do it.
I Loved being a stay at home Mom! Then, what seemed like a few days, I turned around and. All my kids were grown and gone. 😞 My husband and I still haven’t quit found what it is we’re supposed to do…to feel productive…. 😂
@@SarahsOctoberHome You have a calming way about you and the music you chose is soothing. I clean along with you, then I rewatch your video so I can relax and enjoy you. I have been busy lately, so I saved your videos and today it’s my treat to watch them. 💞
I'm the same way. It used to drive my husband nuts because I was clean crazy the week leading up to a trip. One time when we arrived home and opened the door the house was spotless and smelled of Hawaiian Breeze (Glade) and bleach he turned to me and said, "OK, I get it now" All we had to do was put away our things, order out, and sit together to watch a movie.
Such a lovely video, Sarah! Regarding liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets: There is increasing research-based evidence that many of these products are harmful to our bodies, pets, and the environment. I encourage everyone to look for the safest options or seek out alternatives.
I use Ecos detergent and no fabric softener. I use wool dryer balls to help speed drying and soften the clothes. I'm very sensitive to artificial fragrances, so I end up with a headache if I'm even around someone for too long who is wearing clothes washed with scented detergent or cologne/perfume. 😬
I love your home! It’s always nice to come home to a clean house. I have been so busy lately I’m not sure if I’m caught up on all your videos, did I miss your finished your entryway?
I watch your videos because of your calming voice - love your content too. Can you tell me where you got your sink thingamajig that you place at the bottom? Something I guess your using instead of a sink mat. I’d love to find one for myself ❤️
Most will say that it is not possible to make it on one income these days. Nice that you can stay home to do homemaking.....your husband must have a great job.
This is something our mom taught us at young age as well. So delightful to see that you do the same! 😊 Thank you for sharing your process with us. Have a blessed, safe and amazing trip Sarita! 🎉
This is super random, but where did you get your dress? I'm trying to step into femininity without completely changing my aesthetic and I love that cut of dress!
U keep mentioning that summer is almost over...or that we r at the end of summer? Actually.....summer began June 20th. We have almost 2 months left? I don't want to think of it being over. Lolol. Love yr post
Enjoy your time camping. It was a lot of fun being there last year but sometimes if we have a camera in our hands we forget the purpose of why we are there and stop living in the present. 🦘🇦🇺

Nothing like coming home to a clean home!
It’s so nice.🫶🏻I was thankful I pushed myself, because I have loads of laundry to do from camping.😅
I do the very same thing. I even do the vacation laundry the night before we leave the beach….when we get home, it’s like an extra week of vacation 😉
Now that’s nice!🫶🏻🥳
I enjoyed this so much Sarah! I love that crock! What a wonderful find! So glad you got to get away for awhile!❤
Cindy, thank you.🫶🏻☺️
My favorite fabric softener is the fresh air. Love hanging my clothes out to dry and the smell of the freshness of the air is so pleasing especially pn your sheets. Leaves the towels and jeans alittle stiff but it is a trade off. Lol

Thank you, sweet friend.🫶🏻
Love your videos. They are so calming and relaxing. Love your home!
Thank you.☺️🫶🏻
I love leaving my home clean when we go away too… my tip is to put bleach in my toilets to give them a good soak while we are away! Happy vacation!! 🥰
I do that! Great minds, sweet friend.🫶🏻👌🏻🥳
You don’t know how much I needed this today. I’m leaving for the third camping trip in a row and really slacking on house work. You have inspired me!❤
Have fun camping.🫶🏻☺️
Love Suavitel softener! Smells so good and so inexpensive compared to other brands
Agree.🫶🏻☺️
I especially like the yellow bottle. Smells so clean.
Happy Monday Sarah, family, and fur babies. SAFE TRAVELS. STTB
Thank you!🫶🏻
Shaklee detergent and dryer sheets. Chemical free and fabulous.
Good to know! Thank you.🫶🏻
Love your thrifted crock! I've never seen one that size with a lid. Beautiful video, Sarah.
Thank you. I was so happy to find it!🫶🏻
I like how you keep a movie playing for your cat when you are away.
🫶🏻☺️
Hi Sarah. 🤗
I very much like the buffet you made into bathroom cupboard. I've been looking for something along those lines. Great score that.😀👍
I hope you find one soon!🫶🏻☺️
@@SarahsOctoberHome me too!🙂
It’s a labor of love. 💕

I love Armor Harmor the one without fragrance, for sensitive skin.
I’ll have to check into that!🫶🏻
Thank you, I’m struggling a bit and forgot what a pleasure and privilege it is to be a homemaker.💞
I think we all get in that space sometimes. I am so happy it helped you. I love drawing inspo from others when I feel a bit tired.☺️🫶🏻

I used to use the yellow bottle Savitel, and LOVED it SO MUCH, but once we purchased a newer washer and dryer the scent was no longer the same! 😙😔
I Looove the Yellow too.💛
I'm the same way. It used to drive my husband nuts because I was clean crazy the week leading up to a trip. One time when we arrived home and opened the door the house was spotless and smelled of Hawaiian Breeze (Glade) and bleach he turned to me and said, "OK, I get it now" All we had to do was put away our things, order out, and sit together to watch a movie.

I’ve heard that. The last week, I’ve been using Lavender on the dryer, wool balls.💜
Love your crock!!!! Those are my favorite!! Looks like they made sauerkraut in yours.
So interesting! How can you tell?
@@SarahsOctoberHome The residue inside, you can see the levels of pickling. It’s a beautiful crock with a gorgeous lid!! ❤️
I use Nellie's Washing Soda. =) I change out the tin it comes into a pretty jar, of course!
I’ll have to check it out.🫶🏻☺️
Have a great vacation!

Yes it's 8 gallons. I have that crock.lovely.

Congrats to the women that can stay home all day. I love taking care of my home but have to have a full time job to feel comfortable
I totally get that.🫶🏻🤍
I love your home!
It’s always nice to come home to a clean house.
I have been so busy lately I’m not sure if I’m caught up on all your videos, did I miss your finished your entryway?
You did not miss it. We are still working on it.☺️🫶🏻
@@SarahsOctoberHome Thank you. Great things take time.
You could allways buy a piece of stone or marble,at Lowes or Home Depot for the coffee table.
🫶🏻☺️
Did you finish your Foyer?
Not yet. Hoping to work on the inside closet this week.🫶🏻
You make cleaning look so easy

Benefits of a glass coffee table is that there are no stains or ring from hot or wet items placed.
So true!🥳
I watch your videos because of your calming voice - love your content too. Can you tell me where you got your sink thingamajig that you place at the bottom? Something I guess your using instead of a sink mat. I’d love to find one for myself ❤️
I ordered it from Amazon, but I need to get a slightly smaller one to fit better.🫶🏻
