Helping a Struggling Family w/ Packing and Cleaning - Collab with Midwest Magic Cleaning
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 07. 2024
- Last month I traveled to Illinois to support Mack from Midwest Magic Cleaning as he was struggling through autistic burnout. He and I both have similar autistic traits and, even in the midst of burnout, it's hard not to stay busy. Though the home we are working on together in this video isn't the typical kind we usually do and wasn't hoarded or really that dirty, it was necessary to do something a little easier as Mack is still struggling from burnout and I don't feel like I have ever fully recovered from mine, but it did help to be with someone else who understands it and this home was perfect for just keeping our minds busy doing something we love, plus it just feels good to help someone else who is struggling.

My dad always tried to encourage me when I would go through some rough times. I would feel extremely overwhelmed, like I was not good enough, and at a point where I just wanted to give up. He would tell me that, “We can only do what we can do with the time and resources we have or are given at the time we are doing it.” It seems like such a simple statement, but it is complex at the same time. It tells me that, 1) I am good enough, 2) I am doing something that has made a difference that wouldn’t have been made otherwise, and 3) I am only human.
What you, Mack, Barbie, and Aurikatarina do DOES make a huge impact on so many lives; not only those of whom you are helping. How many comments have you all gotten that tell you that your videos have given someone the inspiration to get up and clean something? All it takes is one voice to be heard in the darkness and all of you guys together makes a roar in the crowd. Rest and recharge when you need to. Take care of yourselves when needed. We will be here for support when you need and unfortunately that also comes with the whining bridge trolls who think their misery should saturate the air waves. There are more of us who love you and can drown out their ugly. Many prayers and much love.
Thank you Mac and Bonnie. All you do is appreciated.
Mack changing light bulbs without a ladder or tiptoes, I’m so jealous!!
I'm Canadian, very fond of Moose and wolves. I just hope that no Moose or wolves were harmed in the creation of this video.
I'm an unapologetic cat person. I like dogs, but I was raised by cats. 😊
I didn't use full force on my moose punch, so I can honestly say no moose or wolves were harmed in the making of this video. 😁
Are problem in Canada are house hippos
Those bright “daylight” bulbs cast a blue hue rather than a warm orange-ish glow and they instantly make me angry! Isn’t funny how we all like different things?!
It is funny. 😁
You two are a couple of the kindest content creators on CZcams. I can’t imagine how grateful the elderly parents were in getting that done. Prayers for the struggling family
I agree with you there. Imagine the parents being able to walk in there, hopefully with someone helping them to lift and remove those tubs and bags. You've just made an extremely stressful time of their lives just that much easier, Bonnie. You and Mack do work so well as a team, and I understand how difficult it is for you to travel. Much love. Xx
“A ‘MOOSE’T SEE COLLABORATION”.
Brilliant! 🤩 Love it! 🥰
Thank you Bonnie for all you do!!! Great job!
I love dim lights when I’m trying to relax and enjoy a calm vibe but when I’m trying to clean - absolutely need BRIGHT LIGHTS!
So true!
Yeah, same for me! Though I actually struggle with bright lights when I'm not doing anything, and ever since I got a nice pair or sunglasses I'm like omg, how did I survive all these years in bright sunlight without one 😅 (I'm autistic too btw)
Dim lights for movie watching, of course. Bright for crafting because I am sadly middle-aged.
This ! Bright big light for cleaning, focus stuff, and checking the actual colours of fabrics. Dim lights are for the mood and my night owl life
This house is totally a landlord special. The yellow surround. The sink shoved to the wall without a way to clean the side. The pealing tile. Man.
All I have to say is, they better get their deposit back…I mean the cleaning process is fully documented!
Mack looks like he’s fencing 🤺 or in a sword duel when he’s vacuuming. Yeah!! Attack that carpet!!
"I hope it's really low rent"
as someone with severe arachnophobia, I felt so uneasy when you couldn't see the spider anymore. I felt that knee-jerk reaction in my soul. But the fact that you hoped the spidey would have low rent on his little creepy spider-home made me smile.
Oh Bonnie I just LOVE YOU!!! Thank you so much for the shout out again!! I am so extra double motivated NOW! You’re the BEST!!! ❤❤❤❤
Sending hugs and prayers your way Cammy.
Of course, my friend! You deserve it. I'm glad you have worked out the monetization stuff.
Oh, and Rebecca, this is a different Cammy than my sick friend. But, funny enough, this Cammy (from American Wife) is where I got the alias for my friend, so I understand how it would be confusing that I shouted out Cammy's CZcams channel and then also mentioned my sick friend Cammy. 😁
@@CammyHell Lol My bad.😁
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp haha that comfused me too but now i understand. 🙏🏼
I subscribed to American wife channel 😊
The creepy bathroom spider house "I hope it's low rent" 😂
😁
Yess that was great! Lmao
Bonnie you have the sweetest voice and I can imagine how super sweet you are.❤
It is Mack's turn to travel to you and Barbie. Great job
You are correct about light and depression.
I agree. Lots of light for the best mood. Don't know how people can sit in the dark.
Thank you and Mac for doing what you do.
Beans wins the floof contest, paws down 😻
Punching the moose teddy was pretty unexpected and funny 🤣
Putting a dress on the moose was pretty cute too.
That fridge was barely worse than my fridge. One of my favorite parts of MMC videos is the sped up talking which sounds like mice making fun of him and critiquing what he's doing.🐭🐭🐭
Hahaha! Right? I was calling it "alien beep-boop-beep"
I'm on team fur baby... cats, dogs, any sweetheart critter... i love them all!!! 💗
Yeah!!! Mack and Bonnie in the same video!!!
I hate traveling through airports too. I would also rather drive. Airplanes are horrible.
we bought an old 1970's home, the kitchen has 3 beautiful arch windows, however there is an outside space between the kitchen windows and the garage wall and the previous owner put up these green fibreglass sheets to make a roof, that was there for 30 years, the green became brown, they never cleaned it, covered in leaves and dirt, that kitchen was so dark, i had 3 portable lights in there in the middle of the day, it still looked like night, first thing we did was rip up that roof my depression disappeared and the entire house not to mention the kitchen changed mood it was extraordinary, so if Bonny says "cure" depression, it sure as hell helped.
I love that story. Thanks for sharing!😊❤️
I know it makes for a longer video, but having this combo of yours and Mac's footage made for a good watch.
I'm a school custodian so I love getting to scrape and chisel at various stuff with my assortment of razor blades and attachments! It's so satisfying to make tape and paint and stickers etc disappear! I loved your inclusion of Mack's terminology, especially as regarding the wolves and mooses. Meeses? Whatever their plurality is, they are a menace! You might snag ahold of a cheap screwdriver handled scraper from Harbor Freight, which is good at giving leverage in tight spaces. I sometimes use it to assist in using a scrubber pad.
Menace mooses, indeed! 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion of using a screwdriver to get into those tight places. That's a genius idea!
I don’t like traveling either! It’s exhausting! I did it when I was younger and it was tiring then too. I need my things and routines that are at home and having to be “on” and social day after day is too much for me.
7:56 Hahahaha I laughed so hard because of your ready-to-fight face. 😅 Mack will feel so much safer when you are around! You and Mack are "vibing" so well together. 💪 The bath tub cleaning was satisfying to watch 😍 I know how much of a challenge it is to clean a kitchen with no fresh running water. 🫧 You two did an amazing job!! 🩵
😁❤️
Praying for Cammy for healing and God's blessings and presence to be surrounded her. ❤
Bonnie you are amazing! Thank you for doing what you do😊🎉
Bonnie, your Moose punching skills are incredible! You tamed that moose with a pink outfit! And Mack packs Wolves like no one else! Incredible! Ty both for helping your friend, you both took alot of stress of their shoulders for a sigh of relief for one more thing, while supporting eachother through understandable conditions while continuing forward. You are all the best.
Lol, thank you!
Loved the moose! Definitely needs to be a regular guest 🤞😍 🫎
❤ Sorry for the troubles your friend faced, and I am so glad she had such supportive people to help. Thank you for being there ❤❤ 🙏 for cami 🙏❤️
I’m going to cry. Thanks guys.
Video - shows Bonnie and Mac thoroughly scrubbing and sanitizing surfaces most people never even consider cleaning. Mac's voiceover - we didn't do a deep clean. 🤣 But seriously, love your channel and appreciate all the wonderful things you do!
Hahaha...yeah, I actually thought the same thing. 😅However, there was a lot more I wanted to do to consider it more of a deep cleaning.
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp this is why you guys are the pros!
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp this is why you guys are the professionals!
Loving the moose cameos!
It has to be nice to clean a non hoarded house. I think both of you deserve a break.😊
SO amazing what you do for others! Praying you will devote as much energy to taking care of yourself! GOD bless you!
Bonnie you are amazing! The work that you, Mack, and the others do is life altering fit the families you are helping. You are changing the world one household at a time. Great job!
Failure to thrive is no joke it's amazing that you're helping cammie out! I'm sure it's a blessing for her and her family
Two of my favorite CZcams creators . Thank for the laughs,compassion kindness and motivation.
Well, they do call Mac Johnny Moose-Defender back in Grand Rapids. "Hey, is that Johnny Moose-Defender?" "I don't know -- tell an off-color joke about a moose, and see if he gets up and leaves. I bet he does!" 🤣
I'm always Team Kitty-cat. 🙂🐈❤
People are all different about lighting.My girlfriend and I, let her mother move in with us due to her mothers financial circumstances. She liked dim lighting. At the time I enjoyed embroidering in the evening after work. I had a drectional type floor lamp that was positioned to shine directly into my lap as I sewed. After a while my eyes started to get tired and for a time I thought I needed my glasses prescription changed. Eventually I discovered that the woman had replaced the bulb in the lamp with a soft pink one!
You are so kind to help out other people like you do! May God bless you always. 😊 I will be praying for Cammy!
🙏
The Scrubbing sounds, sound like Bees a-buzzin 🐝🐝🐝🐝
So Cute 🥰
YES! Finally! That’s it! I always loved the scrubby sounds but couldn’t get a correct analogy of its sound. Bees!!!! Happy little bees!!!!!
Thank you and Mack for the Care and Love you give to these families and homes. That was so kind to have so much done for the elderly parents, really took a huge part of the burden off of them. This family and Cami are in my thoughts and prayers.
What a partnership. You guys are truly great. Total inspiration.
Thanks so much!
Mack has the gift of gab. loli don’t blame you on the flying. I avoid it at all costs. Too stressful.
Laughed out loud at the spider low rent house comment! Your voiceover's a hoot
😊
Oh my goodness thank you both! I use your videos for motivation and help due to mental health issues! 💜💜
Big Mack sent me. I'll pray for your dear friend. She is blessed to have you in her life.
🙏
The bright lights really do make a big difference, you are not alone with that!!
Bonnie you did really well to travel to Mack. Great job helping those people. You’re a kind soul.😊
I usually watch Mira’s channel. Peeling away the clutter. She told me about you. I love watching. Tomorrow I’m going to make one for my channel. You’ve inspired me. I do videos for older folks like me people who just can’t clean and organize like they used to do when they were younger. I am digging out from a lot of clutter. You did such a thorough job. ❤️
Bonnie you are delightful. Excellent cleaner and pleasant to hear.
Bonnie, I just love this collaboration with you & Mack! ❤You two did such a fantastic job cleaning & packing up this home. You both are amazing! 🎉Thank you for the love & care you put into all you do!! ❤
I know Mack’s sense of humor I’m thinking there’s never a dull moment! 🤔❤️👍🏼
Yeah, he's a crackup. 😁
Your kind hearts are wonderful.
Yippee! A collab between some of the members of the Fab Four (Barbie, Bonnie, Coline and Mack - in alphabetical order). Hopefully sometime next year we could see a collab with the full team (and possibly the UK cleaners as well’ - maybe somewhere near Bonnie?
Love that Mac doesn’t need a ladder to change light bulbs, and Bonnie’s smile is wonderful. Thank you folks.
Thank you, Ann! Yes, it would be fun to have Fife Free Cleaning come as well. However, if we keep adding people, we are going to need one gigantic house to clean.😁
I am so happy you are real, and telling why you probably won't be joining the next collab. I recognize so much of me in you, when it comes to travelling/energy management and so on.
Sending you a big hug 🫶🏻😘
Yeah, I'm hopeful that when Mack reaches a million subscribers, maybe he can afford to buy us all a portal to transport between all of these places.😅
I hope when we do our big collab that includes you, we can do it here in Utah because I can come pick you up from the airport since it's only about an hour away and you don't need the extra hassle of getting a rental car and all that.
Bonnie you did a great job of explaining the wolves 😂 . It's good to have Mac's audio explanation. I love that. The way he explains stuff is genius.
Oh my gosh, you're not a wuss at all! I always choose driving over flying!! I've never liked flying either and have actually learned to love the 15 hour drive to see my family. I get to be by myself and don't have to make small talk with anyone and since I do it over two days I get to enjoy the hotel room all to myself! I highly recommend it! 🙂 Good for you for saying no to the July thing and taking care of yourself and what works for you!! And I imagine Mac totally gets it, how nice to have a friend who gets you! I love your videos and I love listening to all your chats about yourself, it's so helpful to us out here! 🙂
There are times when I'm sitting on a layover that I add up all of the hours it takes me to actually get somewhere and think it really would have been better just to drive because it would only be a couple hours longer to do that and I would avoid so much stressful stuff. If I ever do go out there again, I probably will break it up into a two-day Drive.👍
Mack sent me to tell you how wonderfully awesome you are. 😊
Am I the only person who always feels bad for the friendly house moose? If it wasn't so hot in FL I would invite him to my house....
😁👍
I feel sorry for him too. 😟🙁😢 . He's welcome at my house anytime! I have a little friend named Arthur Moosie-Boosie who would love to meet him! 🥰🤗🦌.
LOL! I love the moose in the pink dress! Too funny!
I absolutely love dim lights. I have stigmatisms in my eyes, and bright lights really hurt my vision.
The fitted sheet fold!!!!!! Good job all around.
You two are the most kindest, authentic in the biz and love your collaborations🙏❤️
I love when y'all collab!! So fun to watch!
I love watch you, mack, and barbie❤❤❤
Moose wrangling was a great extra!!
You guys are just amazing people how you help people for free.,it's great to see kindness in this world.
Loving the commentary, Bonnie! ❤ And the handling of mouthy-moose in the pink tutu... Certainly at least a 9.5 on the Spinkick-o-Meter 😂
😄👍
I replaced the light bulbs in my bedroom with the daylight bulbs and I loved it so much I tossed out the ones in the rest of the house! It helped so much.
Love seeing new content from you and Mack!
Well done to ye both. I’ve no doubt this family is so grateful. Bonnie you are a great friend to Mack going to give emotional support during burnout and I know you suffer the same. Mind yer selves. Loved the moose dressed up. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👏👍💪🙏💐🐈🦮
Loved the " moos-ed see collaboration!!🎉❤🎉❤😅😅😅😊😊
Tyfs!! Tysm for flying & helping mack!! Youre both awesome!
😁👍
@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp seems Mack's rubbing off on you!?? 🤪😁😁❤️❤️🤕💯
I just found Fife a few days ago. They're great!
TYSM for helping this person! I hope that they're on the road to a healthy and long-lasting recovery.
love those scrubbing sounds 😊
You two made me smile throughout this entire video! So funny. Too cute! Thank you.
Love seeing two of my favorite people working together! Thank you for helping these people. I've had to pack up a house for a family member struggling with addiction, twice. It's a difficult job. I know the elderly parents are so grateful for everything you've done to make things easier on them. I don't know what they would've done without your help. It's a difficult job, and even more difficult when it's your loved one. You have given them a huge gift in their time of need. Bonnie, when you tripped, I was concerned for a moment but, then taken over by laughter when hearing you say you're ok, and hearing Macks response. lol You guys are so funny together. I'm glad you were able to come and help him, andI know it was great for him, dealing with his autism burnout. My 21 yr old son is autistic, and also has adhd, tourettes and bi polar, so I know how the struggles can be. I wish you were able to team up again with Mack and Barbie but, I get the not wanting to travel. The older I get, the more I am that way too. I've never enjoyed flying and haven't flown in years. I don't think I could handle airports these days. Really enjoyed this video! Can't wait for next weeks video. :)
Prayers coming! ❤
I love you and Mac's dynamic
And Mack doesn’t need a step stool to replace those lights!!!
I noticed that! I had to do a double-take! 😊😊😊
😁
Great job dear ❤
The pink moose dress though 😂
😁
well they say angels have wings a beg the differ I have subscribed to MWCS, Barbie and u 3 beautiful angels with hearts of gold and so much compassion for the fellow human beings...O btw love those dance moves in the laundry room 😁
That pink moose tutu was great...I lol'd....Good job Mack, Tetris is a hard game to win. I prefer Tetrisphere.
Thank you for the shoutout Bonnie! We've also been obsessively watching our subscriber count, my husband and kids are probably sick of me saying "ooh guess what we're at now" 😂
I loved your voiceover in this video, your sense of humour really shone through you had me laughing out loud a couple of times, you really showed that moose who is the boss, great work as always especially on those bathrooms x
I've watched a few of your videos in the last couple of days because of Mack's shout-out. Really enjoyed it.😊😊😊. Good luck to you!
My family can totally relate to the constant updates on subscriber numbers, especially that first time it really starts to go up quick. 😂Just know that I will always be excited for you and will still obsessively check your numbers...you're getting close to 6k!!!! That's insane! And, yeah, how about almost 1,000 comments on your video two weeks ago? You'll have at least that many on your most current one, too. That's probably one of the hardest parts for me is wanting to respond to every comment and I used to. I feel bad just giving it the ol' "heart," but I know that's necessary once you start getting that many comments. Anyway, hopefully this doesn't all overwhelm you enough that you decide to quit. It should taper off in the next week or two and hopefully get to a manageable level. Y'all are great!
I have definitely left the stuff in my drawers when moving. 😊
There is something kind of sad about packing up a person’s home. You did a great job though! I look forward to your next video!
Wonderful! Thank you both! A compassionate cleaning.... bye
It's so nice to see you 2 together, Bonnie and Mack,,,,and the moose of course.🐂❤🧡💛💚💯
Dim lighting makes me feel like I'm in a dungeon! I love loads of sunlight and if I can't get that a ton of lights!
I got in to all y'alls cleaning channels after having my own tragedies. This is my therapy! It never fails to warm my heart seeing you help ppl! But you have to help yourself first ♥ You two are such a good Collab!
Slow motion moose punch was awesome 😂😂
😁
The moose in the dress just about killed me!
i love ya’ll together ane bonnie i laughed so hard when you dressed the moose !!!!!
Came here because you were mentioned on MMC!!! Don't know why you aren't in my algorithm yet, but we know how YT works lol!!! GOD bless you!!!
I wish when you all are done Team A* cleaners, there would take over a team B of Handy (Wo)Men and fix the construction problems or plumbing, electric problems for instance.
Thank you and I love seeing you both took a less severe house with all your physical stuff going on. Good choice !
Take care, be gentle on yourself.
