Just a note, I used to watch a certain cleaning/family vlogger for a few years. She began her channel as a normal mom, like the rest of us…as her popularity grew, she became more and more unrelatable. Her house was perfect…it was like watching someone clean a house already cleaned. She overdid decorating. It looked ridiculous. I bet she had a dozen Christmas trees. Sadly she became so into her own ego, that she blew her channel up, and threw away a small fortune. Let’s face it, you have kids, dogs, and normal things happening. Don’t ever feel apologetic about being real. There’s a lot of real women out here who enjoy knowing they aren’t the only ones struggling to keep control of all the moving pieces. Hugs judy
@@paigemarcantel3943 She was one of the original cleaning gurus. I don’t want to hurt her. I really feel sad it happened. A beautiful young woman, with two adorable kids. She went from a trailer to a million dollar home. All from her you tube channel.
Hey lady! I took my kitchen trash can outside and deep cleaned it. It was so so so gross!!! I’m proud of myself for doing it. It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would and I had put it off for months. I just wanted to tell you because I knew you’d get it. 😊😊😊😊😊have a great day! Love ya! ❤❤❤
Timed myself with folding, hanging, putting away a load of laundry. Under five minutes. Why do we put it off??? Five minutes and magically disappears. Poof!!
Don’t ever let the messiness and clutter get you down about filming videos for us. We’re here because you are the real deal, and we like you just the way you are!
I feel like we would be besties. I'm a homeschool mama of my two autistic boys. I struggle to keep up with cleaning house. I have fibromyalgia, high heart rate, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, migraines, major depression disorder, anxiety, sleep apnea, and chronic nausea. I totally feel like I'm falling apart at 38 years old. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been binge watching your videos. You're an awesome person.
I’m a decade older, and have probably reached «cantankerous old woman»-mode. Sweetie, you have so much on you plate! Do you have any way to round up some support? Since I’m from a country where home schooling is unusual and kind of frowned upon, I wonder whether schooling is something you can «farm out» to gain some breathing room to take care of you? In your shoes, I’d have more than enough to take care of my health. Best wished going forward 💕
Amanda, I'm so sorry you're having so many health problems. Accept help anytime someone offers. Don't let pride stand in the way of accepting help. Give a specific task for someone. Laundry, preparing a meal or house cleaning are examples. Also, accept offers to care for your children. You need time for yourself. Blessings to you and your family. 🦋
I keep my various holiday decorating to the entry. The entry table, mirror, possibly the rug. It keeps the cost down and gives the idea of what time of year or holiday it is. Christmas I do have a big tree in the window.
I only decorate my dining table. It makes me happy to sit in the holiday feeling. Just my opinion,but the reason I watch your Chanel is because you are real. You’re almost everyday struggles are me. It’s just nice to know sometimes that I’m not the only one that things happen in life. I think trying to make everything look and work perfect is more exhausting. If you put in a honest effort that should leave you content in you’re heart and home. I always comment you’re not alone in your struggles. I appreciate you having the courage to help us work through ourselves. Because we are our biggest roadblock. Many blessings to you and your family. Please keep showing up! You are needed👍🏻🌹
So sorry to hear you haven't been doing well. If it makes you feel any better, I laugh so heartily aloud during your videos and truly enjoy watching! And if anyone ever gives you crap about not decorating, just say you're doing it the european style! Here no one really cares about seasonal decor except for xmas and maybe easter
I do too!..probably a bit too much!😅 I just rewatched the video when she does the “ta ta Taa!” 😳 lol. Where they clean up the schoolroom and she adds in the “crack alert” covers..😊
I agree about decorations. I like putting things up but hate taking them down and storing them. I’ve gotten rid of so much as I get older. It’s very freeing actually!
Don't ever feel bad about clutter. You're a real one. Guess what? The only dirty laundry I have is also pjs 🤣🤣 Your husband is awesome, and y'all are a great team. It's great to see!
Oh Shannon, I just love your videos! Don’t ever change, you’re so real, like hanging out with a girlfriend, yackin about life. I feel like I could tell you anything & you’d be like “really? me too” 🥰 Please just keep being beautiful you!!
I'm also trying to resist the urge of spending money through the month of October. That way, I will have bills paid off and more money to spend for Christmas. Although yesterday, I had to go out and buy air filters for air vents and an indoor, outdoor light for my laundry room. Then while I was out, I went to Goodwill and Dollar Tree to get some home organization items and cleaning supplies. I do have a wish list which I will pray about and hold until after Halloween. I'm also starting a new diet, so wish me luck!
Needs vs wants. For your no buy challenge..Unless it's needed for your survival, don't buy it. Make a list before you shop and stick to it. You can do it!
You're not weird. I never decorate. I haven't rearranged my living room in 5 yrs. I have electric recliners so the way My furniture is set up is the only way I can do it with the outlets. I just replaced my Bissell vacuum after 14 yrs. I bought a shark navigator lift way, I love it! We don't expect perfection❤❤. Life is real!!
Glad you are back filming. I am so happy you left the stuff in the background. That is normal life and that is why I love you -- you aren't "Ms Perfect" you are "Ms Getting it Done in Spite of the Struggle" real life like mine.
I live in the UK and used to have a friend (now gone) who lived in Kentucky. Every two or three years I used to visit for a couple of weeks in October. Watching your vids reminds me so much of those visits and I always look forward to seeing your face on my UA-cam page.
I only hang a fall wreath on the front door for now. Then two weeks before Thanksgiving a few things on the dining table. You look good. This heat has been bad-too long with no breaks. So glad for the rain in Central Texas and the end of triple digits in the weather!
White ball pants, yikes. My sons both had white baseball pants, and our older son had white baseball pants! This was in the days before Oxy or Clorox2. I pretreated with paste of dry detergent and Pine Sol then threw in more detergent and Cascade dishwasher detergent. I don't miss those days, lol. Neither of our folks lived near us, so I never had time our kids were with grandparents. I wish they'd been able to spend time with their grandparents and had gotten to know them better. I know your fear of having an accident while being treated, lol. Alas, it's a real possibility for me at 72, lol! Just so you know, I didn't notice the clutter in the background. I'm so thrilled to see you and a new video. Sorry you haven't been able to film. Know that it's a judgment-free zone here. I think vacuums were made better when you bought yours. I think our upright plug-in was made then and it's still doing a great job. It was so good to see you and to have a "chat!" Take care, Linda ❤
Honestly I think my kiddo had every every toy under the sun when she was little. Our house was tidy and clean when we planned to have people over but that’s it. Every other day, it was what it was and that was not clutter free or tidy. There is no way my house would’ve been how it has been since 2020…and I’m fine with that. Your home is totally fine hun. Things happen when the time is right ❤️
Good morning!! Thanks for the motivation!! Your friends pay attention to your clutter in the background. We appreciate your transparency and can relate ❤
It was good catching up with you shannon. Glad to see im not the only one out here just surviving. Yes its a season of life. When our littles are all grown up we will miss this.
I enjoy your videos so much. The smell of the seasons is so powerful so your diffusers will do what decorating doesn't. But if you want to decorate without commitment, go all natural. Next grocery shop, buy pumpkins and set them on your porch. Or set a small pumpkin on the island. It doesn't take much to create a mood.
I love that your home looks lived in. It’s real life. Real people’s houses are lived in. I outsource chores I don’t like either 😂 I just had my husband dust and deep clean our couches over the weekend because I knew I would keep putting it off lol. Love that they’re so willing to help.
There’s a business like that! At my old job we hired a company to come decorate for Christmas, we rented the decor for two months and than they came and took it all down at the end of the season. I was shocked when I found out about it! 😆
I love watching you because you have a (lived in house) I can relate to! I enjoy watching you clean. It gives me motivation to get something done over here lol. I so love your personality !😊
Ich dekoriere genauso, wenige, aber hübsche Teile, die ich leicht wieder einpacken kann. Und was wichtig ist: 3 Kinder, Hunde, das ist Leben. Da kann es nicht immer perfekt sein und muss auch nicht! LG Andrea
I've never been good at, or liked decorating. Last year I minimalised decorations. The tree & mantle for Christmas, and a string of lights with leaves, a couple candles, & a tripple stacked pumpkins on the mantle for Halloween. I love it, no mess, no stress!!! I sit in the dark in the mornings & drink my coffee with the lights lit up. Great way to wake up. Im going to start washing my fruits & veggies, since you made it look so easy. I always wash with water & scrub apples with a brush. Your way is better for us, and easier. Thanks!
We come to your channel because you are genuine. So many people on YT fake it just to put out a “perfect” video shot in a “perfect” house. Keep doing what works for you and don’t mind showing us messes, we have them too!
Awwwww your hubby loves you ❤ I decorate for fall but I don't do much. I put a little something on my kitchen table, the bar, my entertain center, & coffee table. I throw a fall blanket on my couch, put fall pillow covers on my couch pillows, & hang a fall wreath on my front door. I have 2 scarecrows that I put on or around my front porch. I think that's plenty.
It was so good to see you this morning! Even though I don't have any littles at home, I love watching your videos. Don't ever let the clutter stop you from recording. I much prefer real life. I feel you so much on the corded vacuum. I have a cordless Dirt Devil that's great for quick pick ups but the corded Shark is unmatched. You're right though. Getting it out and plugged in can be an accomplishment all on its own! Thanks for being here and showing the real stuff. ♥
I love that you are real and honest! I only decorate for Christmas, and all the decor I have for that fits in one little basket. I watch you because you are genuine! You don't have a house that seems like a movie set or a department store. Keep being yourself!
Good morning sweet Shannon! ....and sweet Steven!...- he said what?? Get a coffee and go SHOPPING?!?!? 🤯 Lol Hes a keeper!! 😁 Those aren't words my hubs will ever say, lol 😅 Anyways, I'm sorry you haven't been feeling peppy lately, I hope it turns around! Fall decorating, ha, where i live, fall is short and winter comes fast, so by the time i get fall decorations up, it usually snows a foot and then my fall decoration that says "Its fall y'all" is clearly lying when it looks pretty wintery out there...lol 😅🤔👎 And please, keep keeping it real, I love it!! ❤ Perfection is so unrelatable, I just wanna hang out with a friend!! And so my friend, I hope you have a really wonderful day today! 🌞
When my children were small, my seasonal decorations were for them. (or created by them!). Now that I’ve got no more littles, I keep the decorations to a minimum; for the reasons you shared. My front door wreath is the consistent change; I use Dollar store flowers and leaves for the seasons. Nice to see you again.
I've been missing u n I love your videos because of realist I c inside myself with my depression n housecleaning so keep up the videos coming because they really help me.u r one of a kind n I wish we was neighbors. Glad I can relate to someone. Have a blessed day n may God bless u n your family
Get like one good fall candle and a cute figurine and pumpkin and set it on the kitchen island or dining table where you spend the most time. I think that is enough to get the fall feeling 😊
The reason I watch your channel is because you’re real and everything is not always perfect. You show how life really is! Your videos motivate me to get my chores finished. Thank you! ❤
You’re doing great!! Love watching your videos. You mentioned you like a decorated house but don’t like decorating. Try putting the boxes out and letting your kids decorate. My kids love to help!
I spent 3 days deep cleaning my house ... the kitchen counters were cluttered in less than 4 hours. It's just that ppl live here. Thanks for being genuine and giving me motivation to get things done or add to my list
I'm not sure how I found your channel, but I have really been enjoying the few videos that I've seen so far. You don't have to worry about holiday decorating - it makes cleaning so much more complicated, in my opinion and before you know it, you have to put it all away again. I'm 70 and I have done the decorating, sometimes to extreme, and when I look back at it, it was ridiculous, because we don't entertain, so it was just for us. A lot of work and working fulltime. I have my regrets. After donating almost all of my Christmas items, and moving to a smaller community, and into an old house, I realized I would like to do a bit of decorating. Just a bit. We had 2 cats at the time, and they were pretty well behaved, however, 2 little kittens were abandoned in our back yard and after capturing them, taking them to the vet etc. we ended up bringing them into our home. So, I got what I wanted - they have so much energy and the other 2 cats don't really appreciate more felines in the house, decorating has become a moot point. I do a bit - a very little bit, on my mantle. That's it. My house is decorated with cat beds, towers, pods, toys, and lots and lots of cat hair.
I absolutely love seeing you! Please don't let fear of judgment keep you away. You make a difference. You are real and I think we all need that. Please keep me in your prayers. Struggling with mental health and back and stomach pain. I am under alot of stress.
I've seen Amy Darley clean her son's baseball pants, first,with the spray washer on those crazy stains and then the washer. Works every time and fun too!
Been thinking about you! So nice to see you! Ohhh love that laundry gig. My dried stuff ends up on top of the dryer and in whatever bin is sitting nearby. Maybe I’ll try that timer trick to see how quickly I can fold. Feel better! Big hugs!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely to see you back - we all have messes - that's life - you can clean and make everything perfect then the kiddos/hubby come in and then MESS lols - no judgement here hun
Theives house hold cleaner is my favorite all purpose cleaner. Actually works great I even use it on glass and wood. Also doesn't need rinsed after like a lot of cleaners out there. Safer around kids and such.
Shannon, you are not the only one who gets injured in weird ways. Girl, I broke my foot.... stepping off a curb. Weeks in an air cast running to the hospital where my husband had just had a quad bypass. It was a special time. Very thankful we didn't have a standard!
Missed you and so happy to see your face (i love your makeup) and enjoy your videos and we overthink alike (like i watch weather when mammogram is scheduled to cancel appt if stormy because if they lose power i dont want to be caught in machine 😳). And good job taking true care of you, like choosing to take care of tasks when convenient and have long term vision of the satisfaction of getting done vs playing and then feeling worse later. Hard to explain but i see you and encouraged by your choice to "treat" yourself good this way. Happy Wednesday! And PS i also love your music. And what brand is the Goonies never say die vacuum cleaner?
I watch you because I feel like you are me and I am you! There are a lot of youtubers I don't watch anymore because they were always trying to be 'too perfect'. Please be you like you are and keep it REAL! love you!!!!❤
Honestly and truly - its healthy and heartening to see you being real - and getting on with what actually needs to be done - rather than fussing with cleaning off the counters so everything is perfect before you do the job you have to do. I will be discouraged from getting to a task because I want everything to be perfect - then the job doesn't get done and the place is certainly far from perfect. Sometimes life it just keeping ahead of the tsunami of everything that needs doing and hoping you have the energy just to keep up 😊
Your videos make my day better a lot of us are not judging you (this is a safe space 😉) I love how unfiltered you are and I'm praying if you feel motivated to turn on the camera no one shames you for having a normal house ❤
Please don't let the state of your house keep you from hanging out with us!! Your house looks totally normal to me. Sometimes I have it all together and sometimes I don't. Like right now, in the middle of the softball season for my two girls, I definitely do NOT have it together 🤣 I look forward to all of your videos!!!
I love watching you, I don't want to watch some perfect home person that would be so boring to me and many other people, you carry on being you. Love from Manchester England. 💐
Someone made a comment on a video recently and it’s slayed me for the last week. It’s hard to be vulnerable on UA-cam. I’m thankful to God that you are my friend. ❤
Yay! You’re back! Put your grapes in a kitchen towel and roll them - the stems come right off. I have been circling a fall micro-decor this year - can’t wait to see what you do.
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well I just try to clean my kitchen lounge room and bathroom before I go to bed it is good start to the day love from Eugenie your friend xxx 💞🌜🌼🏡
I have four boys who all played baseball ... if you have a pressure washer ... spray them down and pre treat them and then let the hubs pressure wash them :) Also, put the grapes in a hand towel and roll them and they will separate from the stems.
Really been missing you all!! So great timing I see you posted this nice you tube. Btw…the oxiclean detergent works wonders. I remember when your brother had white sports pants. Love “Let me speak to your mother” on why the white BB pants?? LOL😂 So true! Hope your back is okay & thankfully the chiropractor helped you. You look great!! Keep up being amazing!! PS Your house looks like real life with lots of love happening in there. Don’t change a thing!! I Love you!!❤❤❤😘🪻🌷🌼
I'm a new subscriber from the netherlands🇳🇱, please excuse me for the bad writhing in englisch😂. Yust stay who you are and be true to yourself your a lovely person. I'm here because it's verry realistic to have clutter and don't we all have days that we just want to hangout in pyjama's? Well i do..😘.😂
I’ve recently heard to put your fruit in the salad spinner to get the water off after washing it. Haven’t tried it yet though. I thought you were going to because that green basket looks like my salad spinner basket. 😊
It is the basket from my salad spinner. I sometimes do use it if I am just washing one type, but drying it out on a towel is less labor intensive when I have a bulk amount 😂
My children are grown and have homes of their own. I was a young, ( very young) mom. I watch your channel because I like you, and your family. I love decluttering, I love the way you relate everything to real life. I'm not in the age group of some of your followers ( I'm guessing) but I think you have something here on your channel that everyone can get on board with. I use felsnapha soap! Most people don't even know about that where I live. Lol.. And having something go wrong at the chiropractor like you described is probably as likely as getting hit by lightning. Lol. Find a good chiropractor you trust. They won't disable you, I promise. But, anyway I love your content.I'm always so happy when I get your notification, because I want to see your videos but, getting that bell, makes me know your feeling good enough to share with us! And that is everything.
I love watching you because you are not perfect. I bugs me to watch some who says "This room is a disaster " and then they clean and declutter it all in 10 minutes. You are real. I love seeing your mess!! It makes me feel better and it mitivates me to clean up my mess. I don't like watching someone just "wipe down" a table that was cleaner than mine when i finish. That's not cleaning! That's bragging 😂 We missed seeing you!!
Hello -I just thought of an idea to decorate for fall without spending a bunch . Just buy some throw pillows with leaf prints and fall colors-also a throw fall type of course :)
You are really doing yourself and your children a favor by switching to more organic options! A tip i would say, though is dont reuse the bags the produce came in, because dirt and whatnot can still be in the containers and bags and undo thr washing you just did! ❤
Hugs forever, no worries, no probs, no pressure. You are a real normal Woman wife a real life. I swear some of those other channels do it just for clicks, and money and also bet they are fake lives. You be you and enjoy your time!! 😊🙏🍀👍🎃
I really enjoyed your vlog, I relate to every bit of it LITERALLY! I’ve subscribe and I hope you doing well and we see a new video soon. I know all about the home aesthetic your talking about but honestly your home is beautiful and I’m sure most like regular moms🙋🏾♀️ would agree pls don’t let that stop you from making videos your cool💯
The oxyclean odor blasters has taken the funk out of some of our clothes that never seemed to smell clean. I also soak thrift store clothes in a bucket or the tub w the oxyclean then wash as usual.

I enjoy your videos so much. The smell of the seasons is so powerful so your diffusers will do what decorating doesn't. But if you want to decorate without commitment, go all natural. Next grocery shop, buy pumpkins and set them on your porch. Or set a small pumpkin on the island. It doesn't take much to create a mood.
It’s so nice to have a sweet husband to help you get things done. Yes I’m speaking from experience ❤
I love that your home looks lived in. It’s real life. Real people’s houses are lived in.
I outsource chores I don’t like either 😂 I just had my husband dust and deep clean our couches over the weekend because I knew I would keep putting it off lol. Love that they’re so willing to help.
Missed you, glad to see you back!😊❤
They have those services that decorate for holidays. They hang lights outside etc.
There’s a business like that! At my old job we hired a company to come decorate for Christmas, we rented the decor for two months and than they came and took it all down at the end of the season. I was shocked when I found out about it! 😆
Amazing! Some people have a real gift for it. Good for them for making a job of it! I could never 😂
I love watching you because you have a (lived in house) I can relate to! I enjoy watching you clean. It gives me motivation to get something done over here lol. I so love your personality !😊
Ich dekoriere genauso, wenige, aber hübsche Teile, die ich leicht wieder einpacken kann. Und was wichtig ist: 3 Kinder, Hunde, das ist Leben. Da kann es nicht immer perfekt sein und muss auch nicht! LG Andrea
I've never been good at, or liked decorating. Last year I minimalised decorations. The tree & mantle for Christmas, and a string of lights with leaves, a couple candles, & a tripple stacked pumpkins on the mantle for Halloween. I love it, no mess, no stress!!! I sit in the dark in the mornings & drink my coffee with the lights lit up. Great way to wake up. Im going to start washing my fruits & veggies, since you made it look so easy. I always wash with water & scrub apples with a brush. Your way is better for us, and easier. Thanks!
Thank you for the video, Shannon. It was good to see you again. Your aesthetic is perfect just the way it is!! You’re awesome!
Great job, Shannon!!
I've been in survival mode, too!! Thanks for being your true self! It helps me tremendously!!
We come to your channel because you are genuine. So many people on YT fake it just to put out a “perfect” video shot in a “perfect” house. Keep doing what works for you and don’t mind showing us messes, we have them too!
Oh, I've missed you! I was going to message and ask if everything was alright. You do my heartt good. God bless you, Shannon, and keep you.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just adore you! Thanks for hanging out! ❤
No judgement here!!! Love all your videos! Thanks so much❤
Awwwww your hubby loves you ❤ I decorate for fall but I don't do much. I put a little something on my kitchen table, the bar, my entertain center, & coffee table. I throw a fall blanket on my couch, put fall pillow covers on my couch pillows, & hang a fall wreath on my front door. I have 2 scarecrows that I put on or around my front porch. I think that's plenty.
I do less all of the time. I won’t store it! Pretty much my front door and dining room table.
Never apologize for the messy background! That's part of what makes your videos real and not staged, like so many are. Love your channel!
Shannon, you are so much fun to watch. Keep being you! ❤
It was so good to see you this morning! Even though I don't have any littles at home, I love watching your videos. Don't ever let the clutter stop you from recording. I much prefer real life. I feel you so much on the corded vacuum. I have a cordless Dirt Devil that's great for quick pick ups but the corded Shark is unmatched. You're right though. Getting it out and plugged in can be an accomplishment all on its own! Thanks for being here and showing the real stuff. ♥
I love that you are real and honest! I only decorate for Christmas, and all the decor I have for that fits in one little basket. I watch you because you are genuine! You don't have a house that seems like a movie set or a department store. Keep being yourself!
Good morning sweet Shannon! ....and sweet Steven!...- he said what?? Get a coffee and go SHOPPING?!?!? 🤯 Lol Hes a keeper!! 😁 Those aren't words my hubs will ever say, lol 😅 Anyways, I'm sorry you haven't been feeling peppy lately, I hope it turns around! Fall decorating, ha, where i live, fall is short and winter comes fast, so by the time i get fall decorations up, it usually snows a foot and then my fall decoration that says "Its fall y'all" is clearly lying when it looks pretty wintery out there...lol 😅🤔👎 And please, keep keeping it real, I love it!! ❤ Perfection is so unrelatable, I just wanna hang out with a friend!! And so my friend, I hope you have a really wonderful day today! 🌞
When my children were small, my seasonal decorations were for them. (or created by them!). Now that I’ve got no more littles, I keep the decorations to a minimum; for the reasons you shared. My front door wreath is the consistent change; I use Dollar store flowers and leaves for the seasons.
Nice to see you again.
Love doing chores and just listening. 🇨🇦❤️
I've been missing u n I love your videos because of realist I c inside myself with my depression n housecleaning so keep up the videos coming because they really help me.u r one of a kind n I wish we was neighbors. Glad I can relate to someone. Have a blessed day n may God bless u n your family
Thank you for these sweet words ❤️❤️
I like that you film real videos. Stuff ends up on counters. That is life.
Get like one good fall candle and a cute figurine and pumpkin and set it on the kitchen island or dining table where you spend the most time. I think that is enough to get the fall feeling 😊
You have some spidey senses or something… wait till you see the fall decorate with me.
The reason I watch your channel is because you’re real and everything is not always perfect. You show how life really is! Your videos motivate me to get my chores finished. Thank you! ❤
You’re doing great!! Love watching your videos. You mentioned you like a decorated house but don’t like decorating. Try putting the boxes out and letting your kids decorate. My kids love to help!
I spent 3 days deep cleaning my house ... the kitchen counters were cluttered in less than 4 hours. It's just that ppl live here. Thanks for being genuine and giving me motivation to get things done or add to my list
I'm not sure how I found your channel, but I have really been enjoying the few videos that I've seen so far. You don't have to worry about holiday decorating - it makes cleaning so much more complicated, in my opinion and before you know it, you have to put it all away again. I'm 70 and I have done the decorating, sometimes to extreme, and when I look back at it, it was ridiculous, because we don't entertain, so it was just for us. A lot of work and working fulltime. I have my regrets. After donating almost all of my Christmas items, and moving to a smaller community, and into an old house, I realized I would like to do a bit of decorating. Just a bit. We had 2 cats at the time, and they were pretty well behaved, however, 2 little kittens were abandoned in our back yard and after capturing them, taking them to the vet etc. we ended up bringing them into our home. So, I got what I wanted - they have so much energy and the other 2 cats don't really appreciate more felines in the house, decorating has become a moot point. I do a bit - a very little bit, on my mantle. That's it. My house is decorated with cat beds, towers, pods, toys, and lots and lots of cat hair.
You two are really looking good! You can tell you are eating right! Proud of you!
Some days surviving is a win-win!
I absolutely love seeing you! Please don't let fear of judgment keep you away. You make a difference. You are real and I think we all need that. Please keep me in your prayers. Struggling with mental health and back and stomach pain. I am under alot of stress.
Praying for you! Joshua 1:9 is my favorite verse. It reminds us that God is with us always. Take care, Linda 🦋
You got it. Prayers already sent up. 🙏🏻
I've seen Amy Darley clean her son's baseball pants, first,with the spray washer on those crazy stains and then the washer. Works every time and fun too!
I love Amy Darley. I have seen her do that. 😂 Cleaning baseball pants is serious business, lol.
Been thinking about you! So nice to see you! Ohhh love that laundry gig. My dried stuff ends up on top of the dryer and in whatever bin is sitting nearby. Maybe I’ll try that timer trick to see how quickly I can fold. Feel better! Big hugs!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Also, the faster you fold and hang clothes after they are done the fewer wrinkles there are.😊 I HATE wrinkled clothes!
Lovely to see you back - we all have messes - that's life - you can clean and make everything perfect then the kiddos/hubby come in and then MESS lols - no judgement here hun
I get so excited when you upload. I know it will be fun hanging with you, relatable and you always give encouragement. Thank you
Theives house hold cleaner is my favorite all purpose cleaner. Actually works great I even use it on glass and wood. Also doesn't need rinsed after like a lot of cleaners out there. Safer around kids and such.
I enjoy your channel for the real content!! Thank you for sharing real life with us!!! ❤
Shannon, you are not the only one who gets injured in weird ways. Girl, I broke my foot.... stepping off a curb. Weeks in an air cast running to the hospital where my husband had just had a quad bypass. It was a special time. Very thankful we didn't have a standard!
We have used the power washer on the baseball pants and the rug before and it makes the job so much easier.
Missed you and so happy to see your face (i love your makeup) and enjoy your videos and we overthink alike (like i watch weather when mammogram is scheduled to cancel appt if stormy because if they lose power i dont want to be caught in machine 😳). And good job taking true care of you, like choosing to take care of tasks when convenient and have long term vision of the satisfaction of getting done vs playing and then feeling worse later. Hard to explain but i see you and encouraged by your choice to "treat" yourself good this way. Happy Wednesday! And PS i also love your music. And what brand is the Goonies never say die vacuum cleaner?
Doh, just saw the vacuum cleaner in description- thanks
I watch you because I feel like you are me and I am you! There are a lot of youtubers I don't watch anymore because they were always trying to be 'too perfect'. Please be you like you are and keep it REAL! love you!!!!❤
I love your videos Shannon. Please keep posting
Honestly and truly - its healthy and heartening to see you being real - and getting on with what actually needs to be done - rather than fussing with cleaning off the counters so everything is perfect before you do the job you have to do. I will be discouraged from getting to a task because I want everything to be perfect - then the job doesn't get done and the place is certainly far from perfect. Sometimes life it just keeping ahead of the tsunami of everything that needs doing and hoping you have the energy just to keep up 😊
Love your videos, it’s like meeting with a friend. Certainly not looking for the UA-cam aesthetic.. nothing relatable there! Xx
Your videos make my day better a lot of us are not judging you (this is a safe space 😉) I love how unfiltered you are and I'm praying if you feel motivated to turn on the camera no one shames you for having a normal house ❤
"Some jobs outsourced to the husband." Love that! Filter to dishwasher, added to list. I couldn't even figure out where mine was!? Glad you're back!
Loved hanging out with you today Shannon ❤
Glad you are back! You’ve been missed ❤
Love the real life you! I get you and appreciate you. 💕
Please don't let the state of your house keep you from hanging out with us!! Your house looks totally normal to me. Sometimes I have it all together and sometimes I don't. Like right now, in the middle of the softball season for my two girls, I definitely do NOT have it together 🤣 I look forward to all of your videos!!!
Glad to see you.
I love watching you, I don't want to watch some perfect home person that would be so boring to me and many other people, you carry on being you. Love from Manchester England. 💐
Someone made a comment on a video recently and it’s slayed me for the last week. It’s hard to be vulnerable on UA-cam. I’m thankful to God that you are my friend. ❤
It’s amazing how one comment can take us down like that. I pray you have rebounded! Love ya, Erica!
Yay! You’re back! Put your grapes in a kitchen towel and roll them - the stems come right off. I have been circling a fall micro-decor this year - can’t wait to see what you do.
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well I just try to clean my kitchen lounge room and bathroom before I go to bed it is good start to the day love from Eugenie your friend xxx 💞🌜🌼🏡
Oh Lord, if I filmed you would always see clutter especially in the kitchen. Love that you keep it real. Yes,I want to see you decorate!
I have four boys who all played baseball ... if you have a pressure washer ... spray them down and pre treat them and then let the hubs pressure wash them :)
Also, put the grapes in a hand towel and roll them and they will separate from the stems.
Thanks for both of these tips!
This works. Even with Oklahoma red dirt 😊
Really been missing you all!! So great timing I see you posted this nice you tube. Btw…the oxiclean detergent works wonders. I remember when your brother had white sports pants. Love “Let me speak to your mother” on why the white BB pants?? LOL😂 So true! Hope your back is okay & thankfully the chiropractor helped you. You look great!! Keep up being amazing!! PS Your house looks like real life with lots of love happening in there. Don’t change a thing!! I Love you!!❤❤❤😘🪻🌷🌼
So glad to see you. I’ve been hoping you were ok. You’re so relatable. I’ve been binge watching. Love your checking in at any time. 🤗🤗🤗
Love that you keep it real!
I'm a new subscriber from the netherlands🇳🇱, please excuse me for the bad writhing in englisch😂.
Yust stay who you are and be true to yourself your a lovely person. I'm here because it's verry realistic to have clutter and don't we all have days that we just want to hangout in pyjama's? Well i do..😘.😂
Me, too!
I’ve recently heard to put your fruit in the salad spinner to get the water off after washing it. Haven’t tried it yet though. I thought you were going to because that green basket looks like my salad spinner basket. 😊
It is the basket from my salad spinner. I sometimes do use it if I am just washing one type, but drying it out on a towel is less labor intensive when I have a bulk amount 😂
Shannon, you were missed!! I like that you’re normal. 💕
So good to see you, I've been missing you! 💜
Hey, Shannon. 💛 I think they decided for the white baseball pants in order for the players to be seen on the pitch. 😂😂😂😂
My children are grown and have homes of their own. I was a young, ( very young) mom. I watch your channel because I like you, and your family. I love decluttering, I love the way you relate everything to real life. I'm not in the age group of some of your followers ( I'm guessing) but I think you have something here on your channel that everyone can get on board with. I use felsnapha soap! Most people don't even know about that where I live. Lol.. And having something go wrong at the chiropractor like you described is probably as likely as getting hit by lightning. Lol. Find a good chiropractor you trust. They won't disable you, I promise. But, anyway I love your content.I'm always so happy when I get your notification, because I want to see your videos but, getting that bell, makes me know your feeling good enough to share with us! And that is everything.
Thank you for these sweet words!
I love watching you because you are not perfect. I bugs me to watch some who says "This room is a disaster " and then they clean and declutter it all in 10 minutes.
You are real. I love seeing your mess!! It makes me feel better and it mitivates me to clean up my mess. I don't like watching someone just "wipe down" a table that was cleaner than mine when i finish. That's not cleaning! That's bragging 😂
We missed seeing you!!
Hello -I just thought of an idea to decorate for fall without spending a bunch . Just buy some throw pillows with leaf prints and fall colors-also a throw fall type of course :)
You are really doing yourself and your children a favor by switching to more organic options! A tip i would say, though is dont reuse the bags the produce came in, because dirt and whatnot can still be in the containers and bags and undo thr washing you just did! ❤
Not that you did it, but just a tip for anyone who reads! ❤
Thank you for being you. You make me smile, love ur channel. God bless u and your family.
Wow Julie! That was very generous. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Glad to see you back.
Hugs forever, no worries, no probs, no pressure. You are a real normal Woman wife a real life. I swear some of those other channels do it just for clicks, and money and also bet they are fake lives. You be you and enjoy your time!! 😊🙏🍀👍🎃
I really enjoyed your vlog, I relate to every bit of it LITERALLY! I’ve subscribe and I hope you doing well and we see a new video soon. I know all about the home aesthetic your talking about but honestly your home is beautiful and I’m sure most like regular moms🙋🏾♀️ would agree pls don’t let that stop you from making videos your cool💯
The oxyclean odor blasters has taken the funk out of some of our clothes that never seemed to smell clean. I also soak thrift store clothes in a bucket or the tub w the oxyclean then wash as usual.
