My horse barn is cleaner than my house 😂 .... I'm trying!
Five minutes in and I had to stop and comment. I agree, so many women don't dress at all anymore. We miss the beauty of feeling good about ourselves and feeling lovely, put together. I think many of us think we are more relaxed and home, why does it matter? It matters to your mental health and how and what you accomplish for the day and how your family see's you. I've been sick for years and have really been lax getting dressed everyday, I notice I do feel better when I look good. One thing I remember from a cleaning tip is, if it takes less than a minute, just do it now. It's amazing how many things can be done separately, instead of waiting to do it later and then cleaning taking hours.
I love your book so much ! One of the greatest benefits for me has been that my husband can see my weekly housekeeping schedule and he has voluntarily started to share some of the work. He will unload the dishwasher in the morning , switch clothes into the dryer, vacuum the stairs, sweep the patio and more. I think it’s because he knows what is on my daily schedule because on Sundays we go over our weekly plans. My husband like so many works from home. I think it simplifies things for him to know what needs to be done daily and I feel better not asking him to do it because he already does so much. If he does nothing on my to do list that’s ok too because your method is manageable for me by myself. Thank you for all of the thought and care you put into designing this book. I really do love it and will purchase more !
I'm really happy to know that! What a wonderful and thoughtful husband you have and your approach is perfect and something many of us can benefit from if we reflect on that. It means a lot to me that you would be a repeat customer of my Lifebooks. I'm working on the academic one already 🌹
At the risk of sounding sexiest, I’d like to say that in my experience, boys and men follow written instruction better than verbal instruction. I say this as a teacher with over 30 years of experience . I have a master’s degree in child development and am a mother of 2 boys and a grandmother of 3 boys. I have also taught children with developmental delays. I’ve been married for over 4 decades. Ladies, just write it down and display it. I put my weekly housekeeping plan on my desk. For children, leave notes. Leave them on the bathroom mirror , on the front door, on the refrigerator, the dog bowl , the trash can , the microwave oven , and the steering wheel. Just write it down. I also have daughters and granddaughters and they take verbal instruction better than boys. I hope that this helps. Write It Down. You will see. 😊
P.S. I sometimes sign my written notes with “ The Management”
Get creative and have a sense of humor! 😊
One last thing, if you can , just completely ignore non compliance. Notice and praise the positive. Every study on educational psychology proves that positive reinforcement works. Catch them being good. 🎉
What amazing insite. I had some clues with my husband and my son. But this nkt onky confirms it but it makes it clear with more understanding with this indept focus and background information.
Thank you for mentioning it
@@toniwadsworth7577I guess this is where a " honey do list" comes from
Ecclesiastics 9:10
What a beautiful way to begin a message! Thank you for invoking God's Word into your video!

A few things I do to make everything easier for me: run the dishwasher every night and unload when I make my morning coffee, do a load of laundry every morning, and I only use comforters rather than duvet covers. So they go in the wash, dryer and back on the beds without having to change sheets which I hate. Pick up the house and put everything that does not belong into a basket every evening.
Well, being in a dress all day won't work because I jump on and off my rebounder all day. That's important. BUT, I can put a dress on before hubby gets home. I do make my bed each morning now. You are absolutely correct. It changes my outlook on the rest of my day and home. I really enjoy your podcasts.
I don't know why you can't rebound in a dress?
@@siscaudle8715 safety
You really hit the nail on the head regarding dedicating one room a day and doing a thorough job, rather than trying to clean the whole house in a day and just scratching the surface.
All I know is you better hope you outlive every one in your household, simply because they are going to miss you terribly if you go first.
I got the cutest skirt this spring from Talbots. I’m wearing it often.
That’s exciting 🌹
Cleanliness is a mindset it all starts from that. Not everyone has the mindset of cleanliness. However your video is one of the best so far , gently helping those that don’t have their homes organized. Thank you.
Well said! Thank you for your encouragement 🌹
That's nice😊 Being a single mom and the only breadwinner it's a llittle bit harder to find time for this. Sounds lovely dream. Maeby when you have a day off. Allthought you have to catch up every other day when you not home😅
Hi Nikki,
I link arms with you in not allowing other's opinions to weigh us down. Thankfully, I live to please the Lord and one of many ways I do so is by caring for my home and those I love...shamelessly. Always leave a place and person better than you find it/them is something I have been practicing since I was a little girl. It makes the world more pleasant for everyone. You look beautiful as always Nikki. The hummingbird painting is so beautiful too!. Have a beautiful day my dear!.
Beautifully said! Thank you and the painting was one my daughter did. I'm very impressed with her talent.
Thank you Nikki. I instinctively knew it was your daughter's work. May God bless and protect her talent. She takes after her Momma. @@TheLadyoftheHouse
Hi Nikki l think today is the day I'm not doing very much. I have cleaned and tidy up, but it is very hot and l feel a bit drained. Being retired and having my husband home all the time makes a difference. Watching you makes me inspired. Thanks Nikki.❤❤
I'm the same way....living in Florida where it's humid and hot most months is so debilitating. The earlier I start my choirs and gardening, the better. As far as retired hubbies...lol ..it's hard to stay focused, at times! 😂
I’m so glad my videos can inspire you. When you’re drained, it’s best to rest 🌹
Aww yeah you mentioned my comment I’m so happy! I have to say in the morning I’m thankful for your older videos when I have trouble getting started some days sticking to my routine I go back and watch you older content that I haven’t seen before and that gets me right back on track. Your videos are so motivating in the most graceful way. Xoxo 😘
Thank you for your input 🌹
While I admire your commitment to a clean house, when do you have time to enjoy a hobby, lunch with a friend, window shopping, take a walk, etc!
Great question and a wonderful comment I may feature in an upcoming video! When you implement a daily and weekly routine with housekeeping, you will gain much more time to do all the other things that make life worth living without added stress because it makes maintaining a home easier than if you were to let things go. It becomes a habit and like 2nd nature to care for your home and the benefits will speak for themself. The time a lady may allocated to her home will vary from lady to lady and depending on her own standards of clean🌹
I do that too! Sometimes if I’m really fancy I’ll put them away at night. Wooo hooo. But most of the time it’s in the morning. Priority is that first sip of coffee ☕️ ❤. Ambrosia!!
I love your tips. They can apply to SAHM people and people who also work outside the gone full time.thank you it does make it easier so don’t feel so overwhelmed after working all day and tending to kids…it helps get some cleaning done and spend time with family. After being gone most of the day.
Thank you for your tips. They never get old and thank you for taking home to make videos for us ❤
I’m glad you see the versatility of this method. As a mother that had to work outside the home for several years with little ones, I completely understand the feeling of being pulled in every direction. Now working from home and running around with after school practices and other obligations, it’s interesting how the feeling still remains but having a well thought out plan for the home makes all the difference. Having direction is key as we find a way to make work what’s really important to us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this🌹
This video is de best 4 me,i finally realized i can manage my house.Thank u ,shout out all de way from South Africa, Soweto
I'm so glad you found this helpful 🌹
Your Lifebook graces my dining table with its pretty cover. Thanks for elaborating on your cleaning schedule. I see how it fits in with the Lifebook..which I am using to track my meals each day. It is versatile. Thank you so much for it.
Hi Nikki. Thank you very much for the video and sharing your techniques on how to keep our homes in order. No method had ever worked for me and it always took me hours to do housework. It was until several years ago that I came across your channel and it's always an inspiration to see you working in your house, with the children and with Jorge for keeping it nice and tidy. You really inspire. Thank you dear Nikki. Much love 🤍🌹🙏🏼
This was such a nice comment, thank you, Rose🌹
Very good tips. I'm going to do this. Thanks for the info!
Love seeing another video from you ❤
I adore my book, it’s been a game changer for me as well, I feel so much more organized and at ease, thanks for all you do ❤
Also love the hummingbird painting you sneak peaked, just gorgeous!💜💙
Such a great video thanks for sharing I have the blue life book and volume one inspiration book ❤👍❤️👍❤️👍
Hey Nikki, family, and fur babies. Thanks for all the motivation, tips, and ideas. STTB
Thank you for implementing that a little bit every day goes a long way…..love your videos…..❤️❤️❤️
Your tips are a lifesaver and so inspiring! Thank you
My pleasure 🌹
Than you Niki
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear it. You are such a blessing! Your music is so beautiful and calm and your videos inspire me to embrace a graceful and grace-filled life.
Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
You, your family blesses your father in law 🙏 God will honor your husband’s and yours efforts. I will try to apply all your suggestions.
Hi Nikki! I don't have your book yet but this was so great to watch. It's nice to hear someone acknowledge that somedays you just don't have all the energy or mental bandwidth to ALL the things. "Leave a room better than you left it" really resonated with me. I have already began implementing that since yesterday. It's amazing at how much the small differences make. Thanks for video. I will check out your book.
Hi Nikki, thank you for making this video. I would also echo the sentents of others and say thank you for sharing your system. It really makes keeping my home attainable rather than overwhelming. Working full time leaves little time to get through all chores but the daily bite sizes are doable and planning much appreciated. Also love my copy of the lifebook and hope that there will be one for next year as well! Thank you for the lovely, encouraging, and helpful content you share with us!
This is great to know, thank you for taking the time to comment regarding it. Yes, I definitely plan on having a 2025 Lifebook. I'm also working on the academic year planners which will be coming out in April hopefully. Thank you for your kind words 🌹
My goodness Nikki! you look so beautiful ^^ 💕
You are so kind, thank you 🌹
Those comments about beating yourself up, productive restfulness and cleaning in one day resonate
Yes!
Hello Nikki thank you for this video its been very helpful to me. Im trying your method for a few weeks now. I really love a beautiful home and what you share is so helpful.
I'm so glad it has been helpful!
Hello Nikki, Your schedule is fabulous; I follow a plan quite similar and it keeps all the plates spinning correctly.
Your eyes absolutely pop in this video because of the wall color behind you! What room is this? Wow, you look amazing in this cream dress surrounded by this wall color and your decor compliments your dress. 🥰
That's a good way of putting it, Julie. Thank you kindly! This is my old office, I now have it back as nobody cared for it to be their room among other reasons. I look forward to sharing it soon 🌹
Thank you for sharing your cleaning method. I have used it some time now and I think it is great way to clean. I feel like the house is clean all the time. I work full time and everyday I do something after work and I am not too tired like I used to be. I used to have a cleaning day and whole house cleaning from top to bottom took about 6-8hours. Now it takes about 1 hour/day. If I have a day off I do more. Love this!
That's wonderful! I remember when I would do that as well and feeling as if that was the only and best way to really clean my home and to get to enjoy a clean home. Thank you for sharing 🌹
Lovely video and thank you for acknowledging that we have different energy levels depending on what is going on with us, Also for not being judgy about not getting the kitchen clean the night before. I aspire to do it, but realistically it doesn't always happen!
Thank you! Sometimes, dishes are best done in the morning. I can’t tell you how many times my teenagers raided the kitchen after hours and I woke up to a messy kitchen…. But then again, they haven’t always been to blame. We start where we are without looking backwards🌹
Sou apaixonada pelo seu método de limpeza ❤ Me ajuda muito e foi o que mais fez sentido para mim, já experimentei vários, mas me rendi ao seu. Obrigada por compartilhar conosco 😘
Really appreciate this video! And I loved what you said about dressing up. I adore dressing up, but I also feel nervous about looking “weird” to others. I do have a genuine question, how does one have the courage to arrive at certain places, like a children’s sports game or practices in a skirt or dress? Would love tips on overcoming those mental hurdles of wearing something other than joggers and leggings? Thanks for all you do ♥️
This would be a great topic to discuss, thank you!
Did you see the movie "The Help" ?
I loved the clothes! If you are going to a child's sporting event what would be wrong with a denim or khaki skirt with a pastel polo shirt. It sure beats leggings or flannel pj bottoms.
Aka, the Flylady Method! (sort of) But I do like yours better. You don't do a zone a week like FL, you do a zone a day, which I think is WAY easier for ADHD people like me. Flylady never worked for me because of that reason. I just couldn't keep on top of remembering what to do each week. I'm going to try out some of the things you talked about and see if I can do them. Thanks!
That’s what makes it The Lady of the House Method and not FlyLady, among many other things. We don’t time anything and it’s based off of your energy level for the day. Pretty much every method has similarities because they are based off of the same routines of keeping a home and self. Even so, FlyLady was based off of another method. I’m happy you see the simplicity with this one. I needed simplicity myself 🌹
Hi. I am new to your channel. Would love your hear how you incorporate your outside chores like lawn mowing, landscaping, gardening, etc. once weather gets warm all my off work time (9-10 hours day + commute) is spent in the yard. Inside work seems to fall behind. Thanks!
Welcome! I reserve the majority of any outside work for Saturday but sometimes, depending on the season, it's needed more often 🌹
Wow!! Can you share from where you get those icons or sketches of bathtub and kitchen and others etc when you make timetable or weekly schedules..i love you do your house chores
I use Canva. It’s really great for design.
Hi Nikki, Such a calming yet helpful video for all your viewers! I have been meaning to tell you how lovely the entry table, mirror, and lamp look. You have created an entry in this space. Many people do not have an entry hall and this is really inspiring. Where did you purchase the entry table and mirror? Every time I see this in a video I think how charming this space is!!!
Thank you, Linda! It’s very important for me to have an entry setup as it doesn’t feel right without one. We can do a lot with furniture. My mom found and purchased both from an antique shop in Lake Havasu. She’s a great hunter for whatever I let her know I’m looking for and really appreciate that about her 🌹
This method is absolutely perfect for me. I am so much more relaxed and my house looks beautiful. A lot of people use the phrase life changing a lot these days but I really mean it when I say that it is life-changing. I’m less stressed out and I’d love what I’m doing. I walk around my house at night before I go to bed just admiring how tidy and clean it is now.
I absolutely loved reading this, I often do the same 🌹
25:48 that picture is so pretty ❤
Hi, Nikki! I love the life book! Though I was wondering, what days would utility and office be done on? What is your method? they’re on the page after Saturday. Thank you! 🌸
That's a great question and I did touch on this within the video but I can also see how it may be confusing. These spaces are extras as not every home has them but if you wish them to be on a specific day, maybe Thursday would be best along with it being the day to clean floors and take care of errands or, depending on your energy level, you may include it within another day. The day I have been taking care of the utility room has changed over time but now I find doing a quick clean of the space on Sunday before my father-in-law uses it is highly motivating to me. I also encourage you to do a little every day while in that space as you launder a load. If you do that, it makes that "deep cleaning" take a lot less time. The office is another space that, as you take care of bills and any paper clutter (hopefully as they come in) as well as digital clutter (while already at your desk) it wouldn't need more than a light dusting and floors being mopped or vacuumed on floor day because you would already be tidying that space daily. These spaces should get attention but that amount is really tailored to The Lady of the House as she deems what is necessary 🌹
@@TheLadyoftheHouse Thank you so much for taking the time out to respond! 🙂That’s true, not every home has those spaces; I hadn’t thought of that. I can see why you put those categories to the side, which is a great idea, and gives us the ability to tackle those tasks on any day that we would most prefer. I love the idea of cleaning my desk on floor days, and maybe I’ll do the utility on Saturdays. Organizing my week on Sundays will give me the time to sit down and figure out which day I’ll incorporate these tasks. I love the flexibility that this planner offers. I had just ordered another lifebook, and it’s the hard cover one, which will be worth the wait. Though I do wish that the scripture verse in it was in the King James Version, since the King James Version comes from the right line of texts. Other Bible versions have taken words out, but this planner has really helped me keep on top of things. Thank you so much for the tips, Nikki, and thank you so much for taking the time out to respond!! It means a lot! Have a blessed day! 🌸
Hey Nikki, I tried to buy your Life Book, but Amazon ran out. Has the site restocked?
Certain areas may only sell certain styles like hardcover or paperback but it’s all print on demand so it’s not possible for them to be sold out.
Such a lovely video. Did you get a she shed? And also, is the room off of your kitchen not your sons room anymore? I can’t keep up. 🤣
Thank you! That is the playhouse now turned art studio for my middle daughter as she is sharing a room with my youngest. I'll share a bit about it very soon 🌹
I just got my lifebook. I love it.
I just wish you would've signed it for me.
I’m so glad you received yours! These are print to order and never go through my hands so unfortunately that isn’t an option🌹
Hi 👋 new subscriber
Welcome!
I really like this method. Thank you.! I really want to dress up. I am a stay at home homeschool Mom….. but anytime I leave my house semi dressed up without my husband I feel like I get more looks and sometimes even unwanted comments. I’m not dressing in a provocative way, but I’m not sure if it’s just where I live here in Southern California in my city it’s just so rare to see someone dressed up … and then I feel silly for garnering extra attention when I’m just trying to go to Walmart. I dress like a hobo so nobody talks to me🥴 but when I go out on date night or coffee with my husband, I feel more inclined to dress nicely I guess which I do love doing.
You are light. And light attracts. Light attracts flies, mosquitoes, wasps and other scary bugs. Light also attracts Lady bugs and butterfly. Light attracts them all, but we choose who we give our attention to.
Don't change or dim your light because of the attention you attract. One day you may attract a little girl and become someone's inspiration.
@@amiraclefinds4867What a beautiful comment. ❤
@@amiraclefinds4867I appreciate your reply to this comment. Thanks for sharing! ✨
I love the way you put that
I couldn’t agree more with the response to your comment. It was so beautifully said. We owe it to God to be the creators of beauty He clearly made us to be as we were created in His image. Imagine if He had held back knowing some wouldn’t treat it with care or appreciate it. It is rare to see anybody dressed up in Vegas too. Be the change you wish to see 🌹
Which book has the cleaning routine in it?
The Lifebook, it’s also a calendar with 2 monthly spreads per month as well as some undated daily pages for writing your schedule, list and menu.
Thank you!
My pleasure!
What you do in your children’s rooms?
Are you asking when to clean the kids’ rooms? That would be on Monday for the daily focus of bedroom(s). Depending on how old they are and how much the lady of the house has taught them, it’s possible at some point, very little will be required of her unless a deep cleaning is in order.
If your septic is overloaded because you did all your laundry in a day, then something is wrong. Not how that works.
How is this different from FlyLady? 🤔
Are you very familiar with FlyLady? I ask because there are many things that are different, however with every housekeeping routine you will find some similarities as it’s all done on some kind of routine and those things we do are all the same and not unique to any one method. What you will notice about each method is the frequency of cleaning and how detailed it may or may not be. A couple major differences would be that FL has zones which rotate depending on the week. The LOTH Method visits each space at least once per week. There is a daily focus space. Another major difference, nothing is timed. It’s about the energy level of the lady of the house and what she determines needs to be done and the frequency to which she knows her home needs it. This will vary from home to home, especially given the season of life a lady may be in. For all other differences I’ll direct you to the video and explanation, the Lifebook as well as the comments as those who have used it have so much to add about the differences they appreciate🌹
Hello Nikki ! I just discovered your channel a few minutes ago and I subscribed right away : everything about this vidéo inspired me, thank you. 🩵 I'm a French wife and mother of three, who struggles being organized and efficient in the housekeeping chores... I feel like your method must be so helpful !
Welcome, Elise! I'm so happy you have been inspired by what you have seen so far and hope you will continue to be with each video. If you implement this method and find it truly helpful, I would love for you to let me know🌹
