    So, my mother’s name was Susan. And she passed away three years before I had my daughter. I’m always wondering how she would feel about things going on in my life, my parenting, etc. So to hear that “Grandma Susan says it’s good enough” hit home on so many special levels. ❤️

Just remember that there has been a lot of domestic violence since this virus started and hopefully others can get out of the bad situation because they only really want what you have found but instead are in a relationship that is totally the opposite of what they thought it would be and really do not know how to get out of it.

    • @bcgrote
      @bcgrote 3 роки тому

      @@emo44 I've used it without solution, just hot water. You can also just spray on some of your favorite household cleaner, like Clorox Cleanup or Resolve cleaner on a carpet, especially on spots. Then just extract it really well. Leaving soap in fabric makes it attract dirt more easily, so you always want to "rinse" it well, until you don't see suds in the clear extractor head, and then use it without putting water in (with the trigger on the machine) to suck the water out. Then it will dry really fast. There is a spot machine that you just set on the dirty area and it scrubs it for you, but I like using the extractor process because I can SEE it getting the dirt and water out. Super satisfying!

    Wow! Looks fantastic! Treasure hunt in the freezer challenge is on! The tallest six shelf metal shelving units at Lowes will give you better, wider, taller, stronger storage than the plastic shelves you have right now in your garage. They are about $80 bucks a piece, so wait for the sales. There are also wonderful lockable wheels that you can buy for those metal shelves which allow you to move them around easily. The shelves hold very heavy weight. I love mine. Don't get the painted black ones= paint chips. Also, I put hooks down my back porch wall in four rows to hold my seasonal door wreaths and decorations. It looks really cute and uses the vertical space well. Compliments from my neighbor too! A nice plus! You worked hard and the space looks great! One last request, before you give plastic toys away, please wash and disinfect them. Thank you. All kids are our kids!

If I do a few things that keep the house 'livable' and good enough, then I can make it!

    I don't know why I'm getting emotional at your cleaning videos, but then again, your videos are not "just" anything. This was such a motivating, affirming dose of positivity! (Also, I really loved the music and the flawless editing you did with it.) Sometimes when I look at the shiny, magazine-styled UA-cam houses, I feel really down about my own home and habits and instead of getting advice on how to care for what I have, I feel like I'm only discovering new things I probably should feel bad about not doing. This channel is a pressure-free, encouragement zone. Thank you for motivating me to tackle a big project that seemed too daunting before! When you're depressed and overwhelmed, no day feels like a good one to live, but maybe doing what I can with what I have is good enough. 💚💚

I’m in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy with my 3rd child and I know I need to give myself more grace, but I have been really down lately because I can’t get my house completely clean. Your message today of “Good Enough” encouraged and inspired me so much. Thank you, friend💗

    Watching you makes me want to drop the remote and actually get into a vertical position. It's been so long since I've deep cleaned, my surface cleaning is no longer helping my anxiety levels. I've got fuzzy candles and hairy ceiling fans lol. We have a mastiff and 3 beautifully fuzzy and shedding non-stop cats. I swear, I think they hold their hairballs until I vacuum, then they let it fly 🙄 ANYWAY, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the video and the inspiration ❤️

      Also this is a good reason to go through all your stuff and declutter and get rid of things that aren't important so when you are dead your kids don't have to do it. 😉 We had to do that with my mother-in-law's home many years ago and then my parents home about 3 years ago and now we are doing the final sort through with my aunt's belongings. My aunt never married and she lived for 80 years in her childhood home. So we've done a lot of sorting through and separating out things with my siblings and honestly I don't want my kids to have to go through a lot of junk. There's a lot of really neat things that we have from my parents and also my grandparents. We have some things that came from Sweden with my great grandparents. Those are real treasures. My daughter wants me to label everything who it belonged to where it came from what is important. I only want to keep the things that are important and make it easy for my kids. So I still have a lot of decluttering and cleaning out to do and I plan to get it done over the next few months. So hang in there everybody and just do what you can today and do a little bit tomorrow and don't worry about perfection. But keep decluttering!

I love her sweet voice and humble heart !

    40 weeks pregnant, tendonitis in my foot, and just so so tired of carrying this sweet life inside by achy body while chasing 4 energetic boys 7 and under and their genius ideas (read: mess making). Yesterday I started in just 1 room - just vacuum before 20 month old goes down for a nap - and that gave me the oompf to vacuum the rest of the house which was desperately needed.
    The kitchen needs to be faced, if I can just get started.

    I love that your ultimate clean video focuses on "good enough" cleaning. My grandma is a perfectionist and cleans everything, I mean every piece of furniture gets the pledge treatment at least once a week. I've never been able to keep up with her standards- that said she was retired before I was born and perhaps back in her 40 hours a week day, her standards were different.
    If you try to hold to her standards you'll never start. If you hold to good enough, you'll go far!

    “When your kitchen’s clean, you feel like your whole house is clean.” YES! I live in San Francisco, so my kitchen is small - cute! but small! - and it just feels overwhelmingly cluttered if I don’t do a “good enough” clean of it everyday! It really makes a difference.

    I just did a clean out of my refrigerator because I had to throw away almost everything due to Hurricane Sally hitting my area. We lost power for almost a day and did not want to chance keeping things. I was not able to salvage things because I had outpatient surgery the morning before Sally hit and had to stay at my son's to recuperate. We were flooded in there aftet Sally hit, but we made it through. I waited till tonight to clean my fridge because I was waiting to see what direction Huuricane Delta was going.
    Kathryn, I want you to know that after cleaning tonight I searched for you on youtube because you are such an inspiration. I have shared your 80/20 rule and cleaning for good enough with my daughter-in-law and this has helped her so much. She has felt so much stress with all that has been going on: hurricanes; home-schooling my grandchildren ages 16, 13, and 8; and packing up to move to a new house at the end of this month. She is a perfectionist at heart, but is easing into your words and feeling good about herself.
    Thank you for all you do! We love you! 💝

    Here is my tip: I keep an old hand towel by the door that I use to clean muddy paws when I take my furbaby out for walks. She loves to walk in the mud!! When we are ready to come back inside I grab the towel and start wiping off her paws. I realize that there is a vast difference in sizes of our dogs but you just make them stay right at the door and wait until they have their paws wiped.
