In this video I wanted to see how long it would ACTUALLY take me to get every room in the house tidy at the same time. It proved to be a lot harder than I expected!
I'm so glad to have finally found a cleaning channel with someone who has a normal sized house, a normal job and realistic house messes! Everything about your channel is so relatable and you're going to just keep growing!
Wow; I don’t even know where to begin to describe how amazing you are. You are the Mother Teresa of struggling house cleaners, depressed souls, those who beat ourselves up, judge our failings and all who are barely hanging on by the skin of our teeth! Thank you for your kindness, gentle words of support, acceptance, and love. I wish you were my next-door-neighbor. You seem like the best of best friends. I recently found your channel and have been so inspired. Please keep sharing your gift and uplifting the world. You are an angel!!!♥️♥️♥️
I really have to thank you for mentioning menopause and how bloody difficult life can be during and after menopsuse. I've found myself unable to work, unable to function properly. It really helps to hear a young woman who understands....thank you so much...xxxx
I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. Cleaning is massively difficult for me, but I'm listening to your videos while cleaning, because it's encouraging. Thank you for posting!
Remi - Please try and ignore those "negative Nellies" out there. You are a great mom and are doing a wonderful job each and every day. You have a kind spirit and patient attitude and are an inspiration to us all. Be sure to be good to you. Blessings and hugs and smiles from Michigan, U.S A. - Judith 🎵 🎭
I am one of those clean people who haven't been blessed with a husband or kids yet. I want to thank you for explaining how your mind works, how the mess is made, and taking time for self care. I was mostly judgemental of people who couldn't keep a clean house, but you have changed my perspective. I like how you said you wouldn't look back on your life and think I wish I would've cleaned more. I just found your channel and watched all of your videos. I can't get enough of your voice. Thank you for helping me understand, and it makes me want to help the moms in my life. Cleaning videos relax me and you've helped me so much.
You’re a lovely person, thank you for being understanding and wanting to see things through the eyes of others. I’m sure with these qualities you will make a great partner/parent one day (should you choose to go down that path) ❤️
Thank you dear for being so personal and honest and for all thoughts you shared. I live with Aspergers and ADHD and since I live alone I rarly care to tidy my home... Along with this video I decluttered for an hour which for me is the longest in a year ... You gave motivation!!
I love that you do a continuous voiceover and not just play music! Thank you for taking the time to do that and for sharing your thoughts. Looking forward to your declutter video. I think having decluttered some will make maintenance so much easier for you and your family (it did for me).
Yes preach! 👏🏻 👏🏻 I remember exactly where I was standing when I realized I would never be happy with my housekeeping when my expectations were so high. That’s perfectionism telling me I’m not finished until the whole house is done. I was standing in front of the washing machine when I realized the only way to be “finished” with the laundry is to be naked! How ridiculous is that?! Perfectionism is the worst :(
I appreciate you, Remi. When I was a young mother,I made the mistake of choosing to try and keep a clean home over spending time with my youngest son. Now my youngest is almost 27 years old, on his own, living in New York, having his own life, and it really hit me hard when you said that you cherished quality time with your boys over cleaning. I wished I had let those dirty dishes in the sink wait when he was calling out to me to play with him. If given a chance to do it all over again, I would choose sword fights with my youngest over folding clean laundry. Time is fleeting, Remi. Always choose time with your boys over anything else in the world. ❤❤❤❤
Im a home educating Mum of four with one at school, a husband, and a dog, and I'm crying listening to you here. I've never felt so understood. Im trying my hardest every day. It's never all tidy at once, theres always a million more jobs, but I dont want to miss my life cleaning, I want to live ❤
I'm in tears as I near the end of this video. So much truth, transparency, and heart + cleaning motivation all wrapped into one. Thank you so much for this blessing and what feels like a therapy session lol Praying you and your precious family are blessed beyond measure. ❤
You owe no explanation about your family or your house but I enjoyed listening to you. You are so articulate and well spoken, and I wish you well. You're doing what you can and that counts.
Ā friend came over the other day and I was excusing the mess, when my friend said, 'I think it's lovely, it looks lived in.' I needed to hear that so much.
My exbf once said "you know... I hang up my clothes as soon as the dryer is done..." while side eye-ing my mountain of unfolded laundry. Well yeah, yours is like 3 shirts, two pairs of jeans and a towel. Mine is 7,000 pieces of tiny-person clothes. That night I brought the basket in to fold while we watched TV and he was like "oh, okay.... this takes forever. My bad."
Remi, if no one haven't told it to you today, you're awesome! You're a star! You're a great motivation to us all. And this is the comment that doesn't need to be answered 😀 Just know that we love you!
I think that you are a super mum, as I live alone with my dog, am 66 years young, and just can not get motivated to do any cleaning! You have all your life on your plate, yet you get so much done. I really think that you are incredible, and I take my hat off to you! xxx
@@Its_me.89 , I normally do a short walk about the place to see what is most important and then I look for cleaning products and materials to clean. I start and end with the toilet so the product in the toilet can do it work. Dry cleaning before wet cleaning. Dirty things after cleaner, vacuum cleaning before mopping the floor. Windows last if you have time and energy.
I’ve tried to motivate myself in many ways but to no avail. I think getting a few good products that you love (thinking Method but only when on offer) & some washing up gloves helps but being too regimented doesn’t work for me. Doing just 10 mins against the timer in each room made it, dare I say it, fun rather than a burden. I can’t wait to do that each day(ish) & start to see & feel a slow, gradual, positive result in each room/area. Remi has definitely changed things for me, bless her, with the revelation of executive dysfunction (yes!) & her realistic and extremely wise attitude 💜🥰❤️
I would love a decluttering series, cause I dont know where to start. My kids are grown ups, a son and a daughter and one grand child who is 19. My appartment is a mess. I just cant get rid of anything, mostly things from my kids, all those memories. I am a messy person but also seeking perfection. Enjoy your kids, time goes so QuickTime, soon they are grown ups. I admit that I dont really know what to do the rest of my life. My family is my everything. I lost my soulmate five years ago so… and my son is very sick since he was a child, its sad and its lonely. Excuse my English, grannar and misspelling
If you'd be the perfectly ripe, sweetest and juiciest peach on the planet, there would always be people that simply don't like peaches. I only hope you read more positive comments on your channel than negative ones, after all the hard work you do and the inspiring, honest and impressive narration you add here. ❤
I grew up in a home where my mother had to have everything tidy, clean and in order 24/7. As a now 32 year old, I can tell you it did more damage than good having an obsessively clean mom. Mess is alright.
I’m only 9:37 minutes into your video and that was while driving to an appointment. I had a rough night with my grand dog and my house is torn apart for painting. My anxiety is through the roof BUT you have already calmed me down. I will listen on my way home BUT I will watch and re-watch this, I’m sure, many times. It’s like affirmation for me: you help me understand what I need to be grateful for and to just breathe
I couldn’t have said it better! Word for Word!! From a young woman to now an old woman! I applaud you , honesty! I had no children and did have a dishwasher & a clothes dryer ! It still was a drudgery!! Your channel doesn’t only motivate, but remind me it’s ok I’m unable to physically do what I did anymore! My epitaph will not have memories of how clean my floors were! Lol Much luv , ♥️✝️🇺🇸 Ps- you should consider writing!
Hi. Having fibromaylgia stope me from being able to clean everyday. I do all the cleaning. My husband and teens never help me but complain when the place is messy. It causes me to get depressed 😔. Trying to get motivated today. Your doing an amazing job.
I know how that feels. Like I'm the only one who cleans. No one wants a dirty house but they also don't want to clean it. I feel like I'm going in circles
I have fibromyalgia as well. Chronic fatigue is my worst symptom/condition. I have had the condition most of my life. Since I was about 10-15 started slowly developing it. It has become increasingly worse as time have progressed. I am not able to work. I couldn’t walk for many months, nearing a year. I am doing a lot of self care and gentle stuff with myself because I’ve learned that is what is going to “cure” me. The medical world will fail me because it’s all about wellness and they don’t work that way. It’s taking a lot of gentle work and just caring for myself and I’m feeling a bit better the last few months. I found EFT tapping a great tool. I am painting. I am just trying to find things for me. I love to clean but I have to really pace myself and I find techniques that are quick and easy but again gentle in terms of their impact on my family/me/my home chemically. I just want to say I hope you can find peace and happiness in small corners of your existence. It will truly make all the difference. The people in your life who don’t understand and make demands can just live with it. You’re doing the best you can and you’re doing great! ❤
For the first time, UA-cam has actually provided me with a real UA-camr who is really real. I'm watching your video and listening at the same time. I truly respect you for showing what real life is like instead of all the plinky plonky music. You've shown that this is an every day thing. You can't just declutter and call it a day. You covered every ground in this video. I wish I could shake you by the hand, give you a big hug and say Thank You. Honestly, you've done more in this video than any therapist could provide. I also thank you UA-cam algorithm for bringing your video and channel to my feed. All the best to you. I need to share this video now. I know many who need this. Thanks again. I appreciate you 👍🏼👍🏼🤲🏾🙏🏽🌞
Your videos have helped me so much for the past few days. I haven't cleaned my room in about a year due to mental health issues. Your videos have given me so much motivation lately, my room is almost completely cleaned and I would just like to thank you!
I love your ramblings while watching you clean your home! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM! My sons are grown men with families of their own now. We have precious memories and of all of them no one ever says, "Remember the messy sofa pillows? Or remember the toys strewn everywhere?" No not one! They remember the fun, the love and the safe space to grow and learn! You are awesome!❤ God bless you and your precious family! I miss the chaos and the loud house, but the crumbs on the floor, not so much! Lol😂
I cried so much during this cleaning 🥲. I feel understood. The judgmental voices that tell me “I’m not doing enough” and other horrible words go away for a little when I hear your voice😢. I don’t feel crazy and I see a path to wellness, happiness, healthy productivity and most importantly peace with self. May God continue to give you all the strength you need and bless your beautiful family ❤
Remi, you are the best cleaning inspo channel for fellow neurodivergents. I have ADHD and going on my medication was the first time in my life I did not feel this constant overwhelm and anxiety of every part of life - especially housework/organisation and it is exhausting. Add in the CFS and fibromyalgia it’s impossible to keep on top and not have a flare up/miss out on time with family. I am pregnant again and completely underestimated how hard it would be without my medication during pregnancy.. your videos are a comfort it’s nice to know there are more of me out there who have similar struggles everyday! Thank you soo much for sharing your truth with us all x
It is so good to hear you are having children with Fibro! My Sister in law has it, and she refuses to become pregnant because she is afraid of the pain. Could you tell me, does it get much worse while you are pregnant?
But you do have a perfect home…that’s HOME not house!! Well done girl and well said all through. You are an amazing woman, I’ve been there and now I’m 64 and the grandchildren come to have fun, but I can’t impress enough how much good those little slots of me time benefitted me when my boys were small. A few hours in an occasional afternoon, soak in bath, do hair, nails, general pampering stuff and then when they come back everyone benefits. All you need is a willing friend/parent etc., and you love them even more when they get home…put a casserole in the oven before you retire to the bathroom! ❤
Mum of five . I'd limit my kids toys pop some up away and rotate them..They get re excited seeing different toys again ..your doing your best always remember this 💪
This video is an excellent example of why the house gets messy, for those with comments... It took the first day to clean and semi maintain 2 rooms. In that time the rest of the house gets messy. It's just the way it is. And then when you focus on the other rooms the first ones gets messy again. And we start all over again. Urg. Remi, your priorities are in the right place - your well being and time with your family.
I just want you to know, you’re amazing. You mentioned getting negative comments like “Why don’t you put the clothes away straight away”. Not everyone will understand you. But for the people that do, you are a shining light. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Hi Remi, I do have ADHD and I am always always guilty about my home. I always compare myself to other's houses and wonder why I can't be the same as well. This video helped me to clean a massive mess in the kitchen after a meal prep Sunday!
I had 3 kids in 3 years, and during those first few years, I remember thinking cleaning with small children was like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos. You're doing great mama! Focus on what is important- those sweet children =)
I’ll never have a perfect home because that’s just not how I am. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, a crumbling spine and need two new knees but I try my best. I do what I can when I can and those that don’t like it can do one. I loved every second of this, Remi. You did really, really well but you do you, Love and that’s more than enough. I love you, Honey.xxxxx
You need to start a podcast! About life, cleaning, motivational podcasts to clean, you would be amazing!! And it would bring an income! Your videos really motivate me because I understand and relate to a lot of the things you say, keep it up your amazing!!🥰
Remi, you are fantastic! I am 69 yrs old. You are 30, I have done 4 kids, worked, cleaned, yard work and all the more. I wish I had had this to listen to when I was your age!!!! Husband have passed on, kids are gone and I am by myself. Very lonely time for me now. I wish I could have had your insight when I was your age. I am so glad to have found you.
I’m married single with a house and yard to take care of. I regularly got comments from outsiders about my house and yard. No one ever noticed that when the yard was mowed and clean and the house was untidy, and when the house was clean, the yard needed attention. All of the work fell to me and here you are, working your buns off, and recognising others and their struggles. You are very sweet, you’re one of my favorite people, I wish we were neighbours. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself. Others are too judgmental, there’s a special hell for those people. You are fabulous. P.S. your lawn looks great! Your grass looks do green and so thick
I’m the same way with my kids. They spend hours making pretend worlds and those worlds stayed where they were for days, until they were done. We picked the toys and soon, more worlds were built. Your only young for a minute, in the grand scheme, let the kids have fun
This is the most relatable UA-cam channel ever. Not a single person on here works jobs like this (like me) and has a realistic house and energy level. Most people on here just put on a show or make excuses for everything.
Sadly, any form of social media attracts people who thrive on tearing other people down. I really hope you don't let it get you down. You are wonderfully and beautifully AUTHENTIC❤ Which is a very rare quality to see. Keep doing you, and please don't dim your light for anyone🙏
12:19 bam! That’s it.. it’s a video for people who get it! I blows my mind how people go around telling others how they should live. They must be miserable. You are doing GREAT!!!
Same! My mum would literally clear away even a cup IMMEDIATELY after she THOUGHT I was finished with it. I didn’t dare bring friends around until I had seen how they acted in their homes before I could put myself out there (with my mum) by having someone over.
I usually don't like hearing people talk all through your cleaning videos but I love listening to you. You're so positive, anyone can complain about their life but you seem to have a lot of gratitude with your life. Also the pizzas are a good idea
Remi you are the absolute best! You have really inspired me AND my 11yo daughter. We are working slowly through the house to organize every closet and cabinet. We missed your videos so much and have been praying for you and your family. God bless you and your efforts! Please never give up because we need you and that amazingly positive and REALISTIC attitude.
The time with small children is temporary. I’m a single parent with 2 boys and I wish I had known that getting rid of clutter would have helped. Tidy house or not, you have got your head screwed on lass, a wonderful empathetic look at the world, and your kids will be lovely human beings too, that’s the most important thing❤
Thanks for showing a real cleaning video. I have a dog and a 5 year old and I feel like the cleaning never ends. And thank you for the voice over. I appreciate you.
I have only just found your channel and wanted to say how fantastic it is. My children are all grown up and I’m an empty nester now but I still remember exactly what you were saying about feeling overwhelmed, constantly trying to keep up with cleaning and kids instantly making it messy again. I totally agree with you. Time spent with them is the absolute priority. It is precious and goes so quickly. Don’t worry about what other people think of how you should clean. Do what works for you. Thank you for your videos I expect you will help so many young Mums who are struggling to be perfect in a crazy busy world.
Oh Remi...what a joy you are. You do work so hard, I too have issues with my mind making decisions and staying motivated with the mundane day tasks. I am in my 60s and actually enjoyed tidying up after my boys when they were young as yours are. It meant they had enjoyed their time. Thank you for your nice and caring attitude. Have you ever thought about being a social worker or psychologist? You have the sense and ability to be an amazing one. I so enjoy your videos. Stay who you are, don't let other people change you. I love you. I am so proud of you. Thank you for who you are. Love your family.
Your channel is so relatable Remi. I ve always felt like I’m lazy and unmotivated because I can’t keep a perfect house. I have now learnt to relax with it and as long as the kids are happy and fed that is the most important thing. Your channel is motivating and actually makes me want to get up and clean. anyway thanks is what I’m saying ❤ thanks for being you. Definitely keen for a decluttering series!
I love watching your videos. Not only are you inspiring with your cleaning and organizing; but your dialogue is so refreshing. Your insights are invaluable to me. Thank you.
Aww sweetie, I would give you a hug if I could! You are trying your best, it's almost impossible to get it done. I know this because I did what you do. We have 3 children (grown now) we ALL cleaned on Sunday. On Monday through Friday, I kept 3 infants in my home for daycare. When I put all 3 down for nap, I cleaned, prepared bottles/food. Occasionally I sat down to breathe. It worked for us. When my children got home from school, we all had tidy-up time after supper/bath. There were days I was exhausted for sure!!! Give yourself a break, and know, you're doing well ❤️❤️❤️
Remi, you are an awesome mom! You have it more together than you believe! There is so much to learn from you! Keep on living your life. You are such an inspiration!
Ive been doing this for years and it made my marriage unhealthy for so long but i made through the rough times when the kids were little. My husband dislikes to clean so I gave us asking for any help till this day. Hang in there and good luck!
Thank you so much for your videos! Even on my bad when I'm lacking motivation I still listen to your videos bc I feel seen and supported. I am a neurodivergent single parent living at home with my dad for the time being and I keep being told no matter I how tired I am at the end of the day or how much I want to relax, I have to ignore those feelings and clean, tidy up during the day, etc. etc. And it's so FRUSTRATING! It doesn't help my extremely unhygienic brother and his pet have moved back home as well. Honestly, I feel like I'm cleaning up after 2 children constantly instead of 1 and it's exhausting. Normal people just don't understand how much of a struggle cleaning is, especially with kids and other factors involved. So again, thank you for these videos, they're a great help.
Hi Remi. To follow on my rant. I can tell you that the priority you put on Charlie and your children is the important part of your balanced approach to life. And your message of acceptance to all of us who struggle to maintain an acceptable home is priceless. Your willingness to expose your home space and imperfections makes you so incredibly relatable. Keep up the good work!! I admire you and you inspire me. Thankyou so much.
Remi, you're a good mother and homemaker. And you've helped me get over a two week depression that left my kitchen a wreck. It became "unwrecked" while I listened to your videos. So, thank you! Also, I discovered that my toddler didn't need a lot of toys, and that too many were sensory overload, especially before naptimes. And all those little pieces created unnecessary clutter for everyone. She got on happily using kitchen utensils, plastic bowls, etc, and her imagination. Also, a folded sheet or a big towel on the floor became her play space. She enjoyed having her own "territory", and I was able to work around her without disruption. I'm just saying, more isn't always better; sometimes it's just more. Keep it simple. Cheers from the redwoods in Northern California.
When my boys were young I once got the entire house clean, and maintained it for 2 weeks...and everyone was miserable! I was tired and they were tired of hearing me go on about it. After that failed experiment, I went back to daily imperatives: wash the dishes, do a load of laundry, what's for dinner? and the rest can happen whenever. We were so much happier, and now that they are grown, I am so thankful for our family time and the memories. You are enough just as you are.
I’ve literally had the exact same experience with managing to keep on top of things for a few weeks, and afterwards, there was no question which way I’d prefer to go about my days (and parent) Thanks for this lovely comment 😊
I'm ten minutes in, and I feel like I have a new best friend thousands of miles away. I'm so glad you let yourself ramble, because hearing you articulate your compassion and empathy so beautifully has truly resonated with me today.
“As long as I’m making a dent and I’m doing what I can, that’s all that matters” wow this spoke to me!!! I happened to find your videos and I’m now officially hooked. You make me feel like cleaning and tidying! I can’t explain why, but you just do! And the voiceovers are amazing. You are so down to earth and insightful with your comments. I truly appreciate what you do for us with these videos!!! You’re fantastic!!!❤❤
I think people who have an easy time keeping things clean just don’t have much stuff. If you’re really overwhelmed with it all, perhaps try decluttering. I also try to have a home for everything I own. It reduces the decision fatigue when tidying.
Honestly, you are amazing. Watching your videos makes me so tired!!! You have 3 small kids, you work outside the home, you are sleep deprived and you still manage to clean and clean!!! Don't let anyone discourage you. I think you do an amazing job!!! And your priorities are straight. Spending time with family, precious moments you can't get back, that is so very important.
Your videos inspire me. Don't worry about people who are negative. Don't even waste your time explaining yourself to them. If they are that upst because you didn't put clean clothes straight away, then these videos aren't for them. Ignore them & let them move on to another channel. Some people are just miserable and they judge vs. being kind. Thank You !
You are not kidding about menopause!!!!! I’m 55 and post menopause now. I really miss my energy and motivation! That’s why I watch videos like yours, they really help me to get motivated. So, thank you! ❤
I was thrilled when I saw a full length video this morning. I sat down, had a cuppa and enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you had more time to create these, but you make such great decisions when it comes to house, kids and Charlie...I understand. Definitely would love to see you tackle the decluttering series. Take care of you and thank you for all the effort you put in...everywhere!
Absolutely love the chatter. I play these in the background when I clean and the talking vs music keeps me going. It’s like my friend being with me while I’m busy.
I love your videos! My kids are adults now and I live in a small house but can't manage much due to chronic illness. One thing I did learn was to do what you do and to give the kids the jobs that they do best at. My youngest daughter has executive function issues and found tidying a whole room impossible when she was little but she excelled at sorting small areas and putting things in it to make it look beautiful. She was also a very good cook and so she often cooked meals instead of doing the big cleaning. If she is home now, the best way for her to help is if I write out exactly what needs to be done task by task. She finds this much less overwhelming than if I just say could you clean the kitchen. You are a really ace mum - it took me years to learn some of the things you are doing. Your boys are lucky to have you. xxx
Don't be hard on yourself , it took me years to learn how decluttering and cleaning works for me . I have adhd and easily distracted sometimes . My mother used to go crazy about all the stuff I had and the speed at which my bedroom became a mess again .
I love you so much remi! I can’t believe how hard you worked for this video! It wasn’t just the cleaning you did , it was the effort you put in to filming it all too! Thank you! I’m so glad there is someone who shows a real home. You are an amazing mum, partner, you sound like an amazing friend too! I love your positive energy ❤
When you get those negative remarks it's usually because it's us seeing ourselves in a mirror and you are showing it to the whole world keep it up I love watching!
Ima much older lady and😢my kids are grow up. Life gets in the way and keeping a tidy home isn't easy. My difficulty relates to a disability and extreme tiredness. Keep trying Remy, you do amazing and I greatly admire your endless endeavour for a clean home.
This is awesome. Made me laugh when you said "take a seat, get a drink" like I'm not cleaning along with you! It's like having a friend to be fed up with! Feels like I've found my soul's sister having you cleaning and chatting along with me while I am trying to get my shit together too! 😂😅
Have you tried any of the 5x5 secret slob videos? I swear by her 25 minutes 5x5 min timer video with music. Great to get things not perfect but looking better and live-able!
Hi Remi I never comment on here but I have been watching your videos and just want to say I love your down to earth, realistic attitude and I totally agree with everything you say, your easy to listen to and love your voice overs, you always make me laugh, housework is a endless process of relentless tasks, take care and stay positive xxx 🥰
I absolutely love your ramblings...you say what i feel and i TOTALLY get it!! What really resonated with me is when you said something about sitting in the middle of a mess, screaming inside to get something done, and you just physically can't do it. That's how i feel all the time...I feel like I'm just lazy 😢 so thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel less alone 💜💜💜
Oh bless you, I can tell just from what you’ve written that it isn’t the case, it rarely is for anybody. Task paralysis is SUCH hard thing to deal with, and even harder to explain to others! ❤️
I wonder if the people who make negative comments criticizing you live in a fantacy world. What is in your videos is the real world. You are honest and authentic and that's why I admire you.
Just found you and am really enjoying your videos. Thanks for mentioning the Living Hell that is menopause. Sometimes it feels like women can't get a break at any point in their lives. Why is anyone hassling you about keeping your entire house tidy all the time? Unless they live there, why do they really care? Your family is healthy and happy - isn't that what matters? You're doing super great, really and truly :)
I'm so glad to have finally found a cleaning channel with someone who has a normal sized house, a normal job and realistic house messes! Everything about your channel is so relatable and you're going to just keep growing!
💯 agree!!!
Yep me too.
I gone off loads who have off the ones I did watch, as they now no longer relatable. Big houses and have money they can burn.
I definitely agree , she’s so relatable, and I’m so here for it being a stay at home mum of two toddlers ❤. X
you aren’t kidding!!
Yes💯 I love it here❤
Wow; I don’t even know where to begin to describe how amazing you are. You are the Mother Teresa of struggling house cleaners, depressed souls, those who beat ourselves up, judge our failings and all who are barely hanging on by the skin of our teeth! Thank you for your kindness, gentle words of support, acceptance, and love. I wish you were my next-door-neighbor. You seem like the best of best friends. I recently found your channel and have been so inspired. Please keep sharing your gift and uplifting the world. You are an angel!!!♥️♥️♥️
I really have to thank you for mentioning menopause and how bloody difficult life can be during and after menopsuse. I've found myself unable to work, unable to function properly. It really helps to hear a young woman who understands....thank you so much...xxxx
I have PTSD, depression and anxiety disorder. Cleaning is massively difficult for me, but I'm listening to your videos while cleaning, because it's encouraging. Thank you for posting!
Remi - Please try and ignore those "negative Nellies" out there. You are a great mom and are doing a wonderful job each and every day. You have a kind spirit and patient attitude and are an inspiration to us all. Be sure to be good to you. Blessings and hugs and smiles from Michigan, U.S A. - Judith 🎵 🎭
I am one of those clean people who haven't been blessed with a husband or kids yet. I want to thank you for explaining how your mind works, how the mess is made, and taking time for self care. I was mostly judgemental of people who couldn't keep a clean house, but you have changed my perspective. I like how you said you wouldn't look back on your life and think I wish I would've cleaned more. I just found your channel and watched all of your videos. I can't get enough of your voice. Thank you for helping me understand, and it makes me want to help the moms in my life. Cleaning videos relax me and you've helped me so much.
You’re a lovely person, thank you for being understanding and wanting to see things through the eyes of others. I’m sure with these qualities you will make a great partner/parent one day (should you choose to go down that path) ❤️
Thank you dear for being so personal and honest and for all thoughts you shared. I live with Aspergers and ADHD and since I live alone I rarly care to tidy my home... Along with this video I decluttered for an hour which for me is the longest in a year ... You gave motivation!!
I honestly can’t tell you how happy I am to read this! Amazing! Well done 😁
I love that you do a continuous voiceover and not just play music! Thank you for taking the time to do that and for sharing your thoughts.
Looking forward to your declutter video. I think having decluttered some will make maintenance so much easier for you and your family (it did for me).
Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
Yes preach! 👏🏻 👏🏻 I remember exactly where I was standing when I realized I would never be happy with my housekeeping when my expectations were so high. That’s perfectionism telling me I’m not finished until the whole house is done. I was standing in front of the washing machine when I realized the only way to be “finished” with the laundry is to be naked! How ridiculous is that?! Perfectionism is the worst :(
Been there, done that.
That’s when you know you’ve gone round the bend.
I appreciate you, Remi. When I was a young mother,I made the mistake of choosing to try and keep a clean home over spending time with my youngest son. Now my youngest is almost 27 years old, on his own, living in New York, having his own life, and it really hit me hard when you said that you cherished quality time with your boys over cleaning. I wished I had let those dirty dishes in the sink wait when he was calling out to me to play with him. If given a chance to do it all over again, I would choose sword fights with my youngest over folding clean laundry. Time is fleeting, Remi. Always choose time with your boys over anything else in the world. ❤❤❤❤
Minha enteada, a melhor mãe que eu conheço, me ensinou isso de priorizar as crianças e não a arrumação.
This is making me cry!! Sending you love and compassion as a fellow mom with the same regret. ❤ #youcantfencetime
Im a home educating Mum of four with one at school, a husband, and a dog, and I'm crying listening to you here. I've never felt so understood. Im trying my hardest every day. It's never all tidy at once, theres always a million more jobs, but I dont want to miss my life cleaning, I want to live ❤
I'm in tears as I near the end of this video. So much truth, transparency, and heart + cleaning motivation all wrapped into one. Thank you so much for this blessing and what feels like a therapy session lol Praying you and your precious family are blessed beyond measure. ❤
You owe no explanation about your family or your house but I enjoyed listening to you. You are so articulate and well spoken, and I wish you well. You're doing what you can and that counts.
Ā friend came over the other day and I was excusing the mess, when my friend said, 'I think it's lovely, it looks lived in.' I needed to hear that so much.
There is a good friend! I do the same always feel I need to justify
My exbf once said "you know... I hang up my clothes as soon as the dryer is done..." while side eye-ing my mountain of unfolded laundry. Well yeah, yours is like 3 shirts, two pairs of jeans and a towel. Mine is 7,000 pieces of tiny-person clothes. That night I brought the basket in to fold while we watched TV and he was like "oh, okay.... this takes forever. My bad."
Remi, if no one haven't told it to you today, you're awesome! You're a star! You're a great motivation to us all. And this is the comment that doesn't need to be answered 😀 Just know that we love you!
I think that you are a super mum, as I live alone with my dog, am 66 years young, and just can not get motivated to do any cleaning! You have all your life on your plate, yet you get so much done. I really think that you are incredible, and I take my hat off to you! xxx
As a professional cleaner I agree with you. Sometimes it’s very hard to get things clean or even know where to begin.
Hey dear my whole house is dirty and kitchen specially plz suggest me suffering from15 years
@@Its_me.89 , I normally do a short walk about the place to see what is most important and then I look for cleaning products and materials to clean. I start and end with the toilet so the product in the toilet can do it work. Dry cleaning before wet cleaning. Dirty things after cleaner, vacuum cleaning before mopping the floor. Windows last if you have time and energy.
I’ve tried to motivate myself in many ways but to no avail. I think getting a few good products that you love (thinking Method but only when on offer) & some washing up gloves helps but being too regimented doesn’t work for me. Doing just 10 mins against the timer in each room made it, dare I say it, fun rather than a burden. I can’t wait to do that each day(ish) & start to see & feel a slow, gradual, positive result in each room/area. Remi has definitely changed things for me, bless her, with the revelation of executive dysfunction (yes!) & her realistic and extremely wise attitude 💜🥰❤️
I would love a decluttering series, cause I dont know where to start.
My kids are grown ups, a son and a daughter and one grand child who is 19.
My appartment is a mess. I just cant get rid of anything, mostly things from my kids, all those memories. I am a messy person but also seeking perfection.
Enjoy your kids, time goes so QuickTime, soon they are grown ups. I admit that I dont really know what to do the rest of my life. My family is my everything. I lost my soulmate five years ago so… and my son is very sick since he was a child, its sad and its lonely. Excuse my English, grannar and misspelling

If you'd be the perfectly ripe, sweetest and juiciest peach on the planet, there would always be people that simply don't like peaches. I only hope you read more positive comments on your channel than negative ones, after all the hard work you do and the inspiring, honest and impressive narration you add here. ❤
I grew up in a home where my mother had to have everything tidy, clean and in order 24/7. As a now 32 year old, I can tell you it did more damage than good having an obsessively clean mom. Mess is alright.
I’m only 9:37 minutes into your video and that was while driving to an appointment. I had a rough night with my grand dog and my house is torn apart for painting. My anxiety is through the roof BUT you have already calmed me down. I will listen on my way home BUT I will watch and re-watch this, I’m sure, many times. It’s like affirmation for me: you help me understand what I need to be grateful for and to just breathe
I couldn’t have said it better!
Word for Word!!
From a young woman to now an old woman!
I applaud you , honesty!
I had no children and did have a dishwasher & a clothes dryer ! It still was a drudgery!!
Your channel doesn’t only motivate, but remind me it’s ok I’m unable to physically do what I did anymore!
My epitaph will not have memories of how clean my floors were! Lol
Much luv , ♥️✝️🇺🇸
Ps- you should consider writing!
"Married single parents" I am SO glad to know that someone else gets this.
Remi, don’t ever change. You’re the sweetest, kindest soul out there. Plus, you have a beautiful lawn!
I don't even need to WATCH I LOVE the therapy I get from you... With your words, always so encouraging.
This makes my heart happy, thank you!! ❤️
I 100% agree with you. It's just my husband and I, unless you count my husband. I enjoy your wisdom, and Remi, you're a natural at narrating.
Hi. Having fibromaylgia stope me from being able to clean everyday. I do all the cleaning. My husband and teens never help me but complain when the place is messy. It causes me to get depressed 😔. Trying to get motivated today. Your doing an amazing job.
I know how that feels. Like I'm the only one who cleans. No one wants a dirty house but they also don't want to clean it. I feel like I'm going in circles
I have fibromyalgia as well. Chronic fatigue is my worst symptom/condition. I have had the condition most of my life. Since I was about 10-15 started slowly developing it. It has become increasingly worse as time have progressed. I am not able to work. I couldn’t walk for many months, nearing a year. I am doing a lot of self care and gentle stuff with myself because I’ve learned that is what is going to “cure” me. The medical world will fail me because it’s all about wellness and they don’t work that way. It’s taking a lot of gentle work and just caring for myself and I’m feeling a bit better the last few months. I found EFT tapping a great tool. I am painting. I am just trying to find things for me. I love to clean but I have to really pace myself and I find techniques that are quick and easy but again gentle in terms of their impact on my family/me/my home chemically. I just want to say I hope you can find peace and happiness in small corners of your existence. It will truly make all the difference. The people in your life who don’t understand and make demands can just live with it. You’re doing the best you can and you’re doing great! ❤
For the first time, UA-cam has actually provided me with a real UA-camr who is really real. I'm watching your video and listening at the same time. I truly respect you for showing what real life is like instead of all the plinky plonky music. You've shown that this is an every day thing. You can't just declutter and call it a day. You covered every ground in this video. I wish I could shake you by the hand, give you a big hug and say Thank You. Honestly, you've done more in this video than any therapist could provide.
I also thank you UA-cam algorithm for bringing your video and channel to my feed. All the best to you. I need to share this video now. I know many who need this. Thanks again. I appreciate you 👍🏼👍🏼🤲🏾🙏🏽🌞
Thank God, a real woman with a real life.........
Your videos have helped me so much for the past few days. I haven't cleaned my room in about a year due to mental health issues. Your videos have given me so much motivation lately, my room is almost completely cleaned and I would just like to thank you!
Young lady, you are wise beyond your age. Bless you!
It’s called living. There seems to be no shortage of critics. You’re doing fantastic!! Believe it!🦋
I love your ramblings while watching you clean your home! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE CRITICISM! My sons are grown men with families of their own now. We have precious memories and of all of them no one ever says, "Remember the messy sofa pillows? Or remember the toys strewn everywhere?" No not one! They remember the fun, the love and the safe space to grow and learn! You are awesome!❤ God bless you and your precious family! I miss the chaos and the loud house, but the crumbs on the floor, not so much! Lol😂
Remi, my mother used to say she wasn't put on earth to move dirt around. Profound, but true.
I love this!!
@amyhamilton2201
LOL that's as cute as true. I'll use that from now on myself :)
I cried so much during this cleaning 🥲.
I feel understood. The judgmental voices that tell me “I’m not doing enough” and other horrible words go away for a little when I hear your voice😢. I don’t feel crazy and I see a path to wellness, happiness, healthy productivity and most importantly peace with self. May God continue to give you all the strength you need and bless your beautiful family ❤
Wow, I wanted to write that, but it was bungled up! Ty for posting your comment and speaking for me.
There is a saying “ cleaning your house while your kids are little is like shoveling the snow while it’s still snowing”
Remi, you are the best cleaning inspo channel for fellow neurodivergents. I have ADHD and going on my medication was the first time in my life I did not feel this constant overwhelm and anxiety of every part of life - especially housework/organisation and it is exhausting. Add in the CFS and fibromyalgia it’s impossible to keep on top and not have a flare up/miss out on time with family. I am pregnant again and completely underestimated how hard it would be without my medication during pregnancy.. your videos are a comfort it’s nice to know there are more of me out there who have similar struggles everyday! Thank you soo much for sharing your truth with us all x
It is so good to hear you are having children with Fibro! My Sister in law has it, and she refuses to become pregnant because she is afraid of the pain. Could you tell me, does it get much worse while you are pregnant?
But you do have a perfect home…that’s HOME not house!! Well done girl and well said all through. You are an amazing woman, I’ve been there and now I’m 64 and the grandchildren come to have fun, but I can’t impress enough how much good those little slots of me time benefitted me when my boys were small. A few hours in an occasional afternoon, soak in bath, do hair, nails, general pampering stuff and then when they come back everyone benefits. All you need is a willing friend/parent etc., and you love them even more when they get home…put a casserole in the oven before you retire to the bathroom! ❤
Mum of five . I'd limit my kids toys pop some up away and rotate them..They get re excited seeing different toys again ..your doing your best always remember this 💪
This video is an excellent example of why the house gets messy, for those with comments... It took the first day to clean and semi maintain 2 rooms. In that time the rest of the house gets messy. It's just the way it is. And then when you focus on the other rooms the first ones gets messy again. And we start all over again. Urg. Remi, your priorities are in the right place - your well being and time with your family.
I just want you to know, you’re amazing. You mentioned getting negative comments like “Why don’t you put the clothes away straight away”. Not everyone will understand you. But for the people that do, you are a shining light. Thank you for making these videos. ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
"Trying to keep your house picked up is like trying to pick up water with a sieve." That struck home with me.
Hi Remi, I do have ADHD and I am always always guilty about my home. I always compare myself to other's houses and wonder why I can't be the same as well. This video helped me to clean a massive mess in the kitchen after a meal prep Sunday!
I’m so so pleased to hear that! I bet you feel so accomplished!? 😁
I had 3 kids in 3 years, and during those first few years, I remember thinking cleaning with small children was like trying to brush my teeth while eating Oreos. You're doing great mama! Focus on what is important- those sweet children =)
I’ll never have a perfect home because that’s just not how I am. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis, a crumbling spine and need two new knees but I try my best. I do what I can when I can and those that don’t like it can do one. I loved every second of this, Remi. You did really, really well but you do you, Love and that’s more than enough. I love you, Honey.xxxxx
I really hope this channel gives you money cause I loveeee your videos and your voice. Your accent and your voice are so relaxing!
You need to start a podcast! About life, cleaning, motivational podcasts to clean, you would be amazing!! And it would bring an income! Your videos really motivate me because I understand and relate to a lot of the things you say, keep it up your amazing!!🥰
Truly would love this! You know who I’d love to hear her with, KC Davis from domestic blisters
Remi, you are fantastic! I am 69 yrs old. You are 30, I have done 4 kids, worked, cleaned, yard work and all the more. I wish I had had this to listen to when I was your age!!!! Husband have passed on, kids are gone and I am by myself. Very lonely time for me now. I wish I could have had your insight when I was your age. I am so glad to have found you.
Ime the same as you ime 65 4 children divorced life's shit lol xx
I’m married single with a house and yard to take care of. I regularly got comments from outsiders about my house and yard. No one ever noticed that when the yard was mowed and clean and the house was untidy, and when the house was clean, the yard needed attention. All of the work fell to me and here you are, working your buns off, and recognising others and their struggles. You are very sweet, you’re one of my favorite people, I wish we were neighbours. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself. Others are too judgmental, there’s a special hell for those people. You are fabulous. P.S. your lawn looks great! Your grass looks do green and so thick
I’m the same way with my kids. They spend hours making pretend worlds and those worlds stayed where they were for days, until they were done. We picked the toys and soon, more worlds were built. Your only young for a minute, in the grand scheme, let the kids have fun
This is the most relatable UA-cam channel ever. Not a single person on here works jobs like this (like me) and has a realistic house and energy level. Most people on here just put on a show or make excuses for everything.
Sadly, any form of social media attracts people who thrive on tearing other people down. I really hope you don't let it get you down. You are wonderfully and beautifully AUTHENTIC❤ Which is a very rare quality to see. Keep doing you, and please don't dim your light for anyone🙏
12:19 bam! That’s it.. it’s a video for people who get it! I blows my mind how people go around telling others how they should live. They must be miserable. You are doing GREAT!!!
Thank you Remi! I felt seen. My house is a mess, but I'm happy.
I grew up in a museum home. All I can remember about growing up was cleaning, or being alone. I didn’t do that to my kids.
I’m really sorry to hear it. I love that you wanted different for your own children ❤️
Same! My mum would literally clear away even a cup IMMEDIATELY after she THOUGHT I was finished with it. I didn’t dare bring friends around until I had seen how they acted in their homes before I could put myself out there (with my mum) by having someone over.
You didn't "give up"!! 7 days cleaning & tidying? That's a marathon, well done! ❤
I usually don't like hearing people talk all through your cleaning videos but I love listening to you.
You're so positive, anyone can complain about their life but you seem to have a lot of gratitude with your life. Also the pizzas are a good idea
I absolutely adore your real life videos. Your kindness, warm, compassion and empathy shines through ❤
Remi you are the absolute best! You have really inspired me AND my 11yo daughter. We are working slowly through the house to organize every closet and cabinet. We missed your videos so much and have been praying for you and your family. God bless you and your efforts! Please never give up because we need you and that amazingly positive and REALISTIC attitude.
"they're not going to remember what it looked like day to day, but they're going to remember what it felt like." beautifully said
Just loved the shout out to the married single parents... 🙌
The time with small children is temporary. I’m a single parent with 2 boys and I wish I had known that getting rid of clutter would have helped.
Tidy house or not, you have got your head screwed on lass, a wonderful empathetic look at the world, and your kids will be lovely human beings too, that’s the most important thing❤
Thanks for showing a real cleaning video. I have a dog and a 5 year old and I feel like the cleaning never ends. And thank you for the voice over. I appreciate you.
I had four keys and remember how crazy hard keeping house can be. It won't always be this way Dear! Love is more important than perfectly clean!
I have only just found your channel and wanted to say how fantastic it is. My children are all grown up and I’m an empty nester now but I still remember exactly what you were saying about feeling overwhelmed, constantly trying to keep up with cleaning and kids instantly making it messy again. I totally agree with you. Time spent with them is the absolute priority. It is precious and goes so quickly. Don’t worry about what other people think of how you should clean. Do what works for you. Thank you for your videos I expect you will help so many young Mums who are struggling to be perfect in a crazy busy world.
Oh Remi...what a joy you are. You do work so hard, I too have issues with my mind making decisions and staying motivated with the mundane day tasks. I am in my 60s and actually enjoyed tidying up after my boys when they were young as yours are. It meant they had enjoyed their time. Thank you for your nice and caring attitude. Have you ever thought about being a social worker or psychologist? You have the sense and ability to be an amazing one. I so enjoy your videos. Stay who you are, don't let other people change you. I love you. I am so proud of you. Thank you for who you are. Love your family.
Your channel is so relatable Remi. I ve always felt like I’m lazy and unmotivated because I can’t keep a perfect house. I have now learnt to relax with it and as long as the kids are happy and fed that is the most important thing. Your channel is motivating and actually makes me want to get up and clean. anyway thanks is what I’m saying ❤ thanks for being you. Definitely keen for a decluttering series!
I love watching your videos. Not only are you inspiring with your cleaning and organizing; but your dialogue is so refreshing. Your insights are invaluable to me. Thank you.
Aww sweetie, I would give you a hug if I could! You are trying your best, it's almost impossible to get it done. I know this because I did what you do. We have 3 children (grown now) we ALL cleaned on Sunday. On Monday through Friday, I kept 3 infants in my home for daycare. When I put all 3 down for nap, I cleaned, prepared bottles/food. Occasionally I sat down to breathe. It worked for us. When my children got home from school, we all had tidy-up time after supper/bath. There were days I was exhausted for sure!!! Give yourself a break, and know, you're doing well ❤️❤️❤️
YES to the decluttering series! 🤩
Remi, you are an awesome mom! You have it more together than you believe! There is so much to learn from you! Keep on living your life. You are such an inspiration!
Thank you for mentioning us married single parents too. It's sooo hard. I have no choice, yet I'm screaming on the inside for change.
Bless you! I’ve been in a similar position, and I’m sending you so much love.
Ive been doing this for years and it made my marriage unhealthy for so long but i made through the rough times when the kids were little. My husband dislikes to clean so I gave us asking for any help till this day. Hang in there and good luck!
There’s more to life than a perfectly clean home! I can’t keep up and I am retired! I don’t have an excuse! I love how real you are!
I think we also - as people - need to share our compliments and keep our opinions to ourselves (unless they're directly asked for). ❤️♾️❤️
Thank you so much for your videos! Even on my bad when I'm lacking motivation I still listen to your videos bc I feel seen and supported. I am a neurodivergent single parent living at home with my dad for the time being and I keep being told no matter I how tired I am at the end of the day or how much I want to relax, I have to ignore those feelings and clean, tidy up during the day, etc. etc. And it's so FRUSTRATING! It doesn't help my extremely unhygienic brother and his pet have moved back home as well. Honestly, I feel like I'm cleaning up after 2 children constantly instead of 1 and it's exhausting. Normal people just don't understand how much of a struggle cleaning is, especially with kids and other factors involved. So again, thank you for these videos, they're a great help.
Hi Remi.
To follow on my rant. I can tell you that the priority you put on Charlie and your children is the important part of your balanced approach to life.
And your message of acceptance to all of us who struggle to maintain an acceptable home is priceless. Your willingness to expose your home space and imperfections makes you so incredibly relatable. Keep up the good work!! I admire you and you inspire me. Thankyou so much.
Remi, you're a good mother and homemaker. And you've helped me get over a two week depression that left my kitchen a wreck. It became "unwrecked" while I listened to your videos. So, thank you!
Also, I discovered that my toddler didn't need a lot of toys, and that too many were sensory overload, especially before naptimes. And all those little pieces created unnecessary clutter for everyone. She got on happily using kitchen utensils, plastic bowls, etc, and her imagination.
Also, a folded sheet or a big towel on the floor became her play space. She enjoyed having her own "territory", and I was able to work around her without disruption. I'm just saying, more isn't always better; sometimes it's just more. Keep it simple.
Cheers from the redwoods in Northern California.
I love these videos. Im using them for motivation.
Thank you so much, pleased to hear it! 😊
When my boys were young I once got the entire house clean, and maintained it for 2 weeks...and everyone was miserable! I was tired and they were tired of hearing me go on about it. After that failed experiment, I went back to daily imperatives: wash the dishes, do a load of laundry, what's for dinner? and the rest can happen whenever. We were so much happier, and now that they are grown, I am so thankful for our family time and the memories. You are enough just as you are.
I’ve literally had the exact same experience with managing to keep on top of things for a few weeks, and afterwards, there was no question which way I’d prefer to go about my days (and parent) Thanks for this lovely comment 😊
🥰🤩🥳
I'm ten minutes in, and I feel like I have a new best friend thousands of miles away. I'm so glad you let yourself ramble, because hearing you articulate your compassion and empathy so beautifully has truly resonated with me today.
“As long as I’m making a dent and I’m doing what I can, that’s all that matters” wow this spoke to me!!! I happened to find your videos and I’m now officially hooked. You make me feel like cleaning and tidying! I can’t explain why, but you just do! And the voiceovers are amazing. You are so down to earth and insightful with your comments. I truly appreciate what you do for us with these videos!!! You’re fantastic!!!❤❤
I love how you have so much compassion. I feel less alone. I love the tangents and rambles of encouragement! Thank you!
I think people who have an easy time keeping things clean just don’t have much stuff. If you’re really overwhelmed with it all, perhaps try decluttering. I also try to have a home for everything I own. It reduces the decision fatigue when tidying.
You have such a lovely soft voice xx
That’s so nice to hear, thank you! ☺️
Honestly, you are amazing. Watching your videos makes me so tired!!! You have 3 small kids, you work outside the home, you are sleep deprived and you still manage to clean and clean!!! Don't let anyone discourage you. I think you do an amazing job!!! And your priorities are straight. Spending time with family, precious moments you can't get back, that is so very important.
Your videos inspire me. Don't worry about people who are negative. Don't even waste your time explaining yourself to them. If they are that upst because you didn't put clean clothes straight away, then these videos aren't for them. Ignore them & let them move on to another channel. Some people are just miserable and they judge vs. being kind. Thank You !
You are not kidding about menopause!!!!! I’m 55 and post menopause now. I really miss my energy and motivation! That’s why I watch videos like yours, they really help me to get motivated. So, thank you! ❤
I was thrilled when I saw a full length video this morning. I sat down, had a cuppa and enjoyed every minute of it. I wish you had more time to create these, but you make such great decisions when it comes to house, kids and Charlie...I understand. Definitely would love to see you tackle the decluttering series. Take care of you and thank you for all the effort you put in...everywhere!
Absolutely love the chatter. I play these in the background when I clean and the talking vs music keeps me going. It’s like my friend being with me while I’m busy.
I love your videos! My kids are adults now and I live in a small house but can't manage much due to chronic illness.
One thing I did learn was to do what you do and to give the kids the jobs that they do best at. My youngest daughter has executive function issues and found tidying a whole room impossible when she was little but she excelled at sorting small areas and putting things in it to make it look beautiful. She was also a very good cook and so she often cooked meals instead of doing the big cleaning.
If she is home now, the best way for her to help is if I write out exactly what needs to be done task by task. She finds this much less overwhelming than if I just say could you clean the kitchen.
You are a really ace mum - it took me years to learn some of the things you are doing. Your boys are lucky to have you. xxx
Don't be hard on yourself , it took me years to learn how decluttering and cleaning works for me . I have adhd and easily distracted sometimes . My mother used to go crazy about all the stuff I had and the speed at which my bedroom became a mess again .
I love you so much remi! I can’t believe how hard you worked for this video! It wasn’t just the cleaning you did , it was the effort you put in to filming it all too! Thank you! I’m so glad there is someone who shows a real home.
You are an amazing mum, partner, you sound like an amazing friend too! I love your positive energy ❤
I don't know how you do it!!
You hold down a job, run the house, and have 2 small boys. You're doing a great job.
When you get those negative remarks it's usually because it's us seeing ourselves in a mirror and you are showing it to the whole world keep it up I love watching!
You are a breath of fresh air, thank you for being real.
Ima much older lady and😢my kids are grow up. Life gets in the way and keeping a tidy home isn't easy. My difficulty relates to a disability and extreme tiredness. Keep trying Remy, you do amazing and I greatly admire your endless endeavour for a clean home.
This is awesome. Made me laugh when you said "take a seat, get a drink" like I'm not cleaning along with you! It's like having a friend to be fed up with! Feels like I've found my soul's sister having you cleaning and chatting along with me while I am trying to get my shit together too! 😂😅
Have you tried any of the 5x5 secret slob videos? I swear by her 25 minutes 5x5 min timer video with music. Great to get things not perfect but looking better and live-able!
Thank you for keeping things real! Most of us do not live in "perfect" homes and are like you -- doing our best. :-)
I cared about what people thought about me until I realised that their opinions don't pay my bills lol
Hi Remi I never comment on here but I have been watching your videos and just want to say I love your down to earth, realistic attitude and I totally agree with everything you say, your easy to listen to and love your voice overs, you always make me laugh, housework is a endless process of relentless tasks, take care and stay positive xxx 🥰
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and be so kind and encouraging ☺️ x
I absolutely love your ramblings...you say what i feel and i TOTALLY get it!! What really resonated with me is when you said something about sitting in the middle of a mess, screaming inside to get something done, and you just physically can't do it. That's how i feel all the time...I feel like I'm just lazy 😢 so thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel less alone 💜💜💜
Oh bless you, I can tell just from what you’ve written that it isn’t the case, it rarely is for anybody. Task paralysis is SUCH hard thing to deal with, and even harder to explain to others! ❤️
I wonder if the people who make negative comments criticizing you live in a fantacy world. What is in your videos is the real world. You are honest and authentic and that's why I admire you.
Just found you and am really enjoying your videos.
Thanks for mentioning the Living Hell that is menopause. Sometimes it feels like women can't get a break at any point in their lives.
Why is anyone hassling you about keeping your entire house tidy all the time? Unless they live there, why do they really care? Your family is healthy and happy - isn't that what matters?
You're doing super great, really and truly :)
