Always let my bed “air out” before making it!
Same. I peel back the sheets when I get out, and put it right back after I'm dressed.
YES INDEED!
Really?? What difference came out of it? I need to try this
Before making my bed I open the window for about 5 minutes in winter time, more time when not so cold.
Never ever left clothes on the floor, not a thing in our culture.
Always clean as I go at the kitchen, can't stand messy countertops or sink.
I also have time every morning before leaving the house to clean the cats litter trays.
Once you get the habit, it won't take long to do those chores and you won't even be conscious that you are doing them. Nice reminder to those who still hesitate thinking there's no time for little tasks in the morning.
I have to say that I love that you let your daughter maintain her privacy! Kudos to you!
I don't check my phone the first, probably 10-20min, not really by design, it just so happens.
Love your content! THANK YOU!
Great video! I'm retired so sometimes it's 11:00 am b4 I get dressed. One of the many bad habits....😂
I don't think it's a bad habit, it's more like you enjoy your life after retirement. You deserve it!

Nice job, Miss Riley! Thank you for helping your mom and dad with making this video and keeping the house in order❣️
Happy New Year to the CMS family! Thanks for your tips, as always! I make my bed 95% of the time in the morning, but not right away. Before I go to have a shower, I pull down the covers to let the mattress air out. When I am done getting myself ready, I make the bed. Another morning habit is that as I wait for the kettle to boil, I empty the dishwasher. If the dishwasher is ready for dirty dishes, it makes a HUGE difference in the kitchen for the morning as well the rest of the day.
Indeed! Open the windows wide, air out the sheets, the room. Lovely memories of living in Europe as a kid and seeing comforters draped over the windowsills in the morning.
I start the day by turning on the tea kettle then to the bathroom. This gives my bed time to air out. Then I make the bed and put away the dishes in the drain board (I am the dishwasher lol). By then my water is heated and I’m ready for coffee or tea. Now I check my phone and do my devotional. Great way to start the day!
For a few years now I've really enjoyed your content. Thanks to you, when we remodeled our bathroom, i was prepared to keep our beautiful glass doors sparkling clean! I haven't had as much to to actually watch the videos and i knew ya'll had a daughter but couldn't recall seeing her. Thank you for allowing her to have her privacy!
I usually ask Alexa for the weather and to play music un the morning. I try not to get on my phone until I'm downstairs after breakfast!
Your daughter did a great job! I love making my bed everyday. It does make the room look cleaner. You have so many helpful tips and I enjoy watching your videos and putting those new ones into my routine.
Your daughters little voice is so sweet 🥰
Your daughter is so adorable! Thanks for Shara bit of her with us.
I follow your morning routine almost to a T, except I don’t have small children, mine are grown. It does make such a difference! The rest of my day goes so much better!
I was taught as a kid to make my bed and clean up anything like you said that doesn’t live there to be taken out and put in the kitchen or there respectful places. So I’m glad that those habits stayed with me and I also take my clothes hamper to the kitchen to make it easier to get everything done all at once. I also run my dishwasher at night I hate to have dishes in the sink it bothers me. But I don’t have time to look at my phone in the morning I have 3 dogs and a husband so mornings are chaotic, my husband always tells me sit and eat but my answer is always the same I will when I’m done getting a load of laundry in or cleaning the dishes from breakfast I have to have something else started before I sit. My mind is wired differently.
I'd kindly encourage you to consider sitting and eating with your husband. ❤ You don't have to do it every time; but if he's asking, it's likely something he wants to enjoy with you.
HOW PRECIOUS!! 🥰GREAT JOB HELPING US ALL TODAY, PRINCESS!!🥰
We run the dishwasher right after dinner. In the morning, I start the coffee maker and see if I can "beat the clock" and get all the dishes put away before the coffee maker beeps. Hey, it works! 😂
What a lovely assistant you have! I used to grab my phone just like you when waking up, but for a few months now I’ve been leaving my phone on a dresser in the corner of my bedroom and I don’t want to go back! I feel so calm and focused when I sleep and get up; it’s just me and myself rather than me and the whole world. Can recommend trying it to everyone!
Great tips.
I loved Riley’s welcome message & input. She made my day. x
I never go to bed with the dishwasher, washing machine & tumble dryer on or when I leave the house. My house is really precious to me & I wouldn’t want to risk a fire.
The noise at night of the tumble dryer etc would probably disturb my neighbour & I wouldn’t want that.
I don’t keep my phone in my bedroom, so check it as soon as I go downstairs in the morning.
I must be unusual but I don’t wash my pyjamas every day. I hang them on hooks in my bedroom & wash them about once a week.
That was the cutest intro and outro too... a star is born! 🤩
Super cute Riley!!! Happy New Year to the CMS team's families!!!
Proud moment for mom and dad! 🥰 Awesome!
What a wonderful camera girl and narrator! 😊
She took her job very seriously 😊
This is really great idea for video. Early morning routine makes real difference. 😊
OMG!! That intro!!! So sweet. ❤
Thank you, love all of your videos and I absolutely love the picture behind you!
What a sweet intro!
I don't check my phone until I've poured coffee. You're so right about emptying the dishwasher!
I have 4 washing hampers in my utility room: whites, colours, darks and towels/ bed linens. I find it helps to save time by already sorting all my washing and I don’t have to then sort out piles before putting into the machine.
Love everything about your morning routine...checking on the weather, seeing what it's like outside, maybe texting, email late morning would be better
I love these tips apart from making your bed immediately after waking up. Even if you're not particularly sensitive to dust mites, it might still be worth letting sheets breathe a while after you wake up. In general, it's not a wise idea to trap moisture in textiles (or most environments, frankly) because it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, mildew, and odours.
I always fold the duvet back and let the bed air for at least an hour. Better for your mattress. It still looks tidy Id the pills and sheets are straightened.
@@HeatherJRedhead Why didn't I think of that? Thank you for the advice and have a great one :)
So move quilt away from bed and just air out where I was laying with sheets on bed or actually taking off also the fitted sheet & mattress protector and leave it naked to air out??
@@missoli100 Nah. Leave the fitted sheets and mattress protector but allow it to air out for at least an hour. If you have a balcony and the weather is nice just put everything on said balcony and watch the mites die.
Thank you for this video! One of my New Year's resolutions is to establish a productive morning routine. I'm also so glad I'm not the only one who struggles with clothes on the floor.
I have to say, the idea of making your bed immediately sounds so GREAT. However, our allergiest warned us that by doing so and not letting your bedsheets and blankets "air out/dryout" from heat and moisture created by normal night-time sweating (in everyone) you will create the perfect environment for mold and mites to grow and multiply. By stopping this practice, my son's chronic runny nose disappeared! She said to peel back the covers and give yourself an hour for everything to dry out and cool down before making the bed. Just a suggestion :)
Did I just see a future Melissa in the making? Riley is adorable! 🥰
That sweet little voice at the beginning of this video is the best! Wishing you all at CMS a Happy, Healthy year ahead!
Your daughter is so cute and she already knows the ways to a clean space. Congrats! May God always bless you and your family. ❤❤🙏🙏❤❤
Thank you for your videos ❤
Thank you for watching them Irene ❤
On a work day i am up at 445am. I do not check my phone until my first break at 11am. I’m lucky I can see the weather on my watch, I give myself enough time that I can pick up after myself as I go along. Never been a cloths on the floor girl and I always make my bed, on days off I let it air out a hour. I like to take my time with my morning routine and my night routine. I never understood how people could panic rush. That would start my day off in chaos. ❤
This is great! I always start my day the night before, both personally and professionally
Riley has a great persons for videos! Great job Riley! xxxxxxxxxxx
Sweet introduction 😊 Happy New Year!
Your assistant is lovely. 💕⭐️
Awww happy new years 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for this wonderful video. Love how your daughter contributed to this video.
Aaaah, the intro ❤❤❤
What a sweet, little helper! I do check my phone first but for only 10 mins or so, then make the bed, no clothes have been left on the floor so go right to the teeth brushing and beverage making. Before I became an empty nester it was much more complicated. 😉
Checking my phone is how I get up in the morning. My need-to-get-up time is 6:30am. So I set an alarm for 6:00 and 6:30. When the alarm goes off at 6am, I grab my phone and scroll for a while while I'm still in bed to fully wake up, then when the alarm goes off at 6:30 again, I get up and make my bed. I am NOT a person who can get up right away at the first alarm (unless I'm on vacation). But yeah, first thing I do after I get out of bed is to make the bed. Making the bed is non-negotiable for me, and is even higher on my prioirity list than personal hygiene. Teeth can be not brushed, but bed has to be made. 😅
She’s adorable! And oh so smart!
I've been doing everything you,re suggesting. It helps. Also, some skin care experts suggest ten minutes or so between use of various of products so there is time to make the bed, pick up & etc between applications. My y phone charged in my study not my bedroom so it's nowhere near.
With clothes on the floor I always found that a hamper with a lid put a barrier in the way, (possible undiagnosed adhd etc) so what I did was get a tub or hamper with handles and an open top. I can throw my clothes in there just as easy as dropping them on the floor. Plus the handles make it super easy to take to the washer. I always felt like I failed before I decided to do this. Now my clothes always make it to the hamper
For me, we have a double hamper with lid, and it always ends up having assorted things on top of it - for sure a barrier to putting laundry in it.
Things that changed my life for the better was doing laundry in the morning, it was huge! Sometimes I'll set it up at night but getting it into the dryer before I leave is huge. Putting it away is a different story but we're a family of 5 so we have plenty to wash. And yeah, sheets do not get washed more than every 2 weeks. It's like pulling teeth to get the kids to take off their sheets! They're morning chore is supposed to be to empty the dishwasher (we run it everynight) but don't always. I'd love for you to make some more on tween/teens getting more done and faster. They do like your videos you make it look simple and you're just teen friendly what can I say? That's rare! Maybe put out some teen friendly cute customizeable cleaning caddy cards?
Ah thats the. Cutest intro ! Just like mama a true professional ❤
Good tips! Something I do which helps me keep a clean house in the morning, is that while I'm brushing my teeth, I walk around and do one-hand chores. So picking up the clothes from the floor and putting them in the hamper, putting away products in the bathroom, ... In my apartment, all rooms are very close together so it's easy to do.
Hi, yes the phone the first thing I look at for the weather as I make my decision on what to wear. I live in an area where it changes constantly! 😫
I don’t make my bed immediately after getting up, but after I start my coffee and while it’s brewing. I check my phone while drinking the coffee. Great assistant!
She's adorbs!
So cute to see you with your daughter - she has a very nice and lovely voice 🥰I actually wait a bit before making my bed in the morning. I´ve heard that it´s good to let the madras "breathe/dehumitify" before you make the bed. Would love to hear your take on that. By the way - I´m also that phone person.
I made a habit of putting my clothes in the hamper right away when I was younger, so it’s not an issue for me now. Ok, an occasional pair of fuzzy socks might be found, but otherwise, nothing is outside the hamper. Also, my bathroom stays tidy for the most part because I keep all my products under the sink. But clean? I like your idea of doing daily glow ups, so that’s going to be my new habit. 🙂. That, and not checking my phone first thing in the morning.
Good morning! Your daughter is adorable!! :) I do not get to make my bed first thing in the morning because my husband is still in it. LOL!! I do check my phone before making my bed in this case. :) 😂 I agree with all your tips.
I agree with the morning routine ! Some things I do different
I run dishwasher after breakfast
We still have enough space for cups and plates and it makes the morning smoother cause it doesn’t have to be unloaded first thing
Take clothes off at the hamper so they do go straight in
I have a hamper that’s got separate sections for diff loads that helps too
I have a robot vacumn programmed to run in kitchen/ dining areas in the AM so it’s one less thing to think about
I don't think I have ever left clothes on the floor. Maybe threw them on a chair after a night out when I was young. Likewise making my bed. It is aired while I have breakfast or take a shower. Only takes a few minutes to make. Usually check my phone to see what the weather is going to be like but I'm not dependent on it. Thanks for your ideas!
Oh those beautiful grey striped sheets! Gorgeous 😍
Just washed my brand new Maker's cloths! I'm excited to use them today for the first time. Thank you for this channel and your products! And, no, I don't check my phone in the morning other than to see what time it is.
Exciting!! Please let us know what you think 😀
I'm a retired senior widow and I always keep my phone on the night table in case of emergency. I prefer to have it charged before I go to sleep. It's my alarm clock. It's on Do Not Disturb so only emergency alerts (such as weather) or selected contacts can ring through.
I shower in the evenings. When my alarm goes off I have a pull down menu from my status bar that shows a list of messages so can give it a cursory check. Hygiene and dress while my bed airs out a bit. It takes me a minute to make it after I'm dressed.
I do all of the above as you mentioned in regards to morning cleaning and stuff: also guilty of using my phone before I get up or get off my bed ! But I really want to practice your advice on making my phone before checking my phone: emails: text messages etc. 😂
Any tips for someone with fibromyalgia, I love a clean house I start off well, then get exhausted quickly, I use a steam cleaner xx
Melissa, it's hard to believe how much baby girl has grown. ❤ Soooo sweet! In case you do read this and could answer, where did you get your mattress box spring from. I like the legs on it! ❤
Never leave appliances running when you go to bed or leave the house. Dryers can catch Fire and Water hoses can leak or break on other appliances.
I tell people this often. I had a friend that lost 2 homes, 18 years apart, and a beloved pet to fires caused by dryers. Neither were running at the time but had been earlier. I don't even have a dryer currently. When I think about getting one, I just think of my dear friend's losses 😢
Maintenance, cleaning dryer vents is a good preventative measure.
Happy New Year To Y'all Also!
Always putting items in the hamper is easier said than done.
I tried this, and it worked for a little while.
Then the new me left and the old me came back.
Needless to say their were pajamas and clothes piles on the floor again. 😮
I have never understood leaving clothes on the floor. Ew!
I check the lockscreen on my phone for the time, but my phone stays locked until 7:50am via a focusing app (stayfree). I make my bed either as I'm getting out of it OR right after the first bathroom visit. I love how a made bed transforms my space and calms my mind.
Riley is adorable ❤
Can we have this cute introduction for each video now 😍 💗
Right?!
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
I make my bed an hour or two after I'm up. Your daughter is gorgeous ❤
I have just added making our bed to my morning routine. I make the bed before I leave the bedroom and all my electronics are in the living room.
I need this as a directive podcast that Alexa plays when I get up. Hahaha. Great formula.
A true "Clean my space" heriess.
Sue here: Dear dear usually spot on Melissa - I woud never never make the bed the second I'm up - no no no - shake the sheets, open window, pull covers down, and AIR OUT the bed. Coffee first!!! The whole purpose of life is to putter out to the kitchen with pajamas ON (oh how wonderful) and hmm hmm ahh that first cup of coffee. Quiet time, girl. Love your videoes and all your teaching and work though. ❤ (I can't imagine not airing the bed out though - yuk. And getting dressed BEFORE coffee ... 😮 ... )
I make my bed before I check my phone because,y phone is across the room charging, and the first thing I do on my phone is do the NYT Wordle puzzle and send the results to my daughter to compare. So I’m kind of saving that as a treat for myself after I’m a little more focused.
I too pick up my phone before getting out of bed. I check the daily weather for my area but the funny thing is I also have my tv on with the weather report. I know it's really sad😉
Wow your daughter is cute love her Canadian accent 😊 bravo Melissa
I make my bed every single morning BEFORE checking my phone. I also make my French pressed coffee and read my Bible before I look at my phone as well. 💯
I get up way before my husband, so can't really make my bed first thing...but yes, it might help to get in the habit before I check social media, at least. :)
Thanks for this amazing video.
Seems your daughter has all this down pat too..
With an amazingly clean home like yours, you can forgive yourself for checking your phone 1st😂
However...
Pro tip to prevent it and sleep better...plug it in and leave phones outside your bedrooms.😊
I do make my bed every day, before going downstairs. Usually this involves getting the dog and/or cat off the bed after they’ve gravitated to the warm spot I’ve left. I do check my phone first thing in the morning, but it’s more of a cursory glance rather than reading all my messages right then.
I like to pull back all the covers, spray it with Lysol Air Freshener or alcohol in a spray bottle... If I have time to make the bed, I will ( if not who cares)... At the end of the day when it's bedtime I know I can jump in because it's nice and fresh!... I will use that time saved to spend more time on bathroom, spraying it with air freshener wiping down all the counters clean solution inside the toilet, squeegee the shower everyday!
I also wipe down bathroom mirror because it's inevitable you will have guests using it unexpectedly also paper towels instead of using hand towels and toilet paper reloaded... Then move on to the kitchen, throw out the trash, make breakfast and lunch mop floors and leave for work... house looks good and smells great!
I take it you don't have a dog (or dogs, like I do) demanding to go out the INSTANT you wake up. Cause... I could make my bed, and pick up things before I leave my bedroom. If I didnt have my dogs. LOL Also, I am pretty sure I have heard 'experts' (whoever they may be) say its better to allow your bed to air out for a bit before you make it to make sure theres no dampness, or whatever. I do make my bed in the morning, but its not usually for a couple of hours after I've been up. I am usually up a half hour, hour maybe before I look at my phone. And I dont text my friends in the morning unless I actually have a question or something important to say. The only person I text 'good morning' to is my husband, who generally works out of state. And its not right when I get up (hes in an earlier time zone at the moment).
I love that you didn't show your daughter's face. Good for you.
Love the chairs…any link for those ?
We've been asked for years, but alas, they were clearance items from a store that has long since closed 😔
What kind of plant is that? It’s gorgeous.
I allow our bed to air out for a bit before i make it. The only time i check my phone first is if I've received a text or a phone call and I like to respond to those right away!
❤
I heard/read that bedding should be aired out after getting up. So I throw the covers back and make the bed a little later. I have never liked clothes on the floor. I will check the phone about right away for notifications, phone calls, weather temp and forecast.
Your daughter is growing up so fast. She is so sweet. Can she come to my house and teach my 11 and 15yo to pack their lunches. And my husband for that matter too. My mornings are tough. My kids and husband get themselves dressed and washed, but i make lunches and breakfast. We downsized to one vehicle because i mostly work from home. Our youngest is too close to the school to get the bus, but on cold or bad weather days, walking is not often an option that early at least. He also has ADHD, so i like to make sure he gets there on time. I leave the house with my husband between 7-7:15am to bring him to work. If i dont take my 11yo with us and give him an on the go breakfast, he will not do anything he needs to do to get ready. I have to be constantly on him. I cannot even step away to go to the bathroom or get ready myself because he will watch tv, or play with toys, etc. My 15yo will do everything for themselves, but wont get themselves breakfast most days due to not leaving enough time. When i say i get everyone breakfast, mean like cereal, or toast or waffles, nothing big, just no time. If i dont throw something in their bookbag for lunch, they wont take anything. If they have time, they will take the dog out for a bathroom break, but if not, that is up to me. They get the bus themselves. My 11yo who i have to bring to school, starts class at 820am and i need to leave the house about 8am to get in the drop off line up. I come home and feed the cat and dog, and on days i am at home, i work at 830am. Office days are 9am. Im exhausted after all of that. To make the best of it, on garbage day, i usually have to get that out as well. Im a night person with ADHD myself and struggle to get proper sleep. I would need to get up at 5-530am to squeeze even unloading the dishwasher in during the mornings, or making the bed. I wish i had time to do it though. Would make my days so much better.
Melissa I am so confused now? I thought I need to air out the bedroom and bed first, and then make the bed? You're talking about getting up and doing it right away
I definitely check my phone bc I turn it off at night and i check to see if any fires need to me taken care of.
I've come across the idea and various studies that waiting for about an hour before making your bed might have some benefits. A study conducted by Kingston University found that dust mites struggle to survive in the dry conditions of an unmade bed. Moreover, allowing your bed to air out during this time could be advantageous, considering that we release a significant amount of moisture and sweat while sleeping. What are your thoughts on this?
Always coffee first before anything else
I don't check my phone until I'm changed, ready for my day, and the bed is made. Even then, I typically meditate (using my phone) before checking anything on my phone. Doesn't occur to me to check stuff on my phone until my morning routines are done.
I do use my phone first thing in the morning 😢
About making my bed: I actually wake up, have my breakfast, do my skin + dental care, check my emails and to my to do list (I am one of the privileged ones who get to work from home) before making my bed. This is to let the bed air out for a few minutes before my seal up my bed.
I do fix my bed when I wake up but I also check my phone sometimes
Hi to the little helper.
Now I make bed in the morning not the first thing but it's a morning thing. However, there have been studies done that suggest you should let your bed “air” before making it. Let all the moisture evaporate and shake out all the loose skin cells. As for nightwear. Well, I wear mine for a week. I hang them up on a free-standing coat hanger. Again airing. One of the first things I do (after the cats) is open all windows so the house can breathe. And because the cat vacuuming occurs and does so during the day, I wonder what make of dishwasher you have presumably it is one that slightly opens the door to help avoid condensation. If not as many might not have that feature it's something to bear in mind. I don't have a dishwasher but have done heaps of research and talked to many who do.
Beds should always be aired before making. I've done this for years.
@@anntaylor4247 and give a good shake you be surprised to see small light powdery flakes. Skin?
I wish I could make the bed first thing in the morning but my bf and I have very different sleep schedules so he's usually still asleep when I wake up. Our bedroom is always super messy because there is almost always someone sleeping in there with no little time left to clean the room when it's actually empty.
Any tips on how to maintain a cleaning routine for people with different work schedules?
The last person to get up makes the bed.
Noticed your bed is two pieces - is it two twins together to make a king? Do you find a benefit? In the market for a new king size bed. Thanks!
Cute outfit! Where did you get it from?
