  • In today’s video we are doing a lot of maintenance decluttering around the house then organizing and cleaning. It is going to be a full declutter day!!! I ended up getting rid of over 6 bags of stuff, so even tho it is not a Kon Mai Method style video we got rid of a TON! Then we clean and organize till it was time for me to get the kiddos so they can slowly destroy the house again lol. Affiliate links to everything I mentioned and shared below. Thanks so much for watching and supporting my channel :)

    Thank you for having your boys clean their own rooms. I have watched too many Mom's on YT and they will clean behind their children and will even put away their just washed clothes. We had a laundry basket for each boy and their clean clothes went in there after I washed them. They were responsible for putting away their own clothes and also putting their dirty clothes in the laundry hamper.
    That was really important because if they needed their favorite shirt washed for school then if it wasn't in the laundry hamper it didn't get washed. They learned very quickly and by the end of high school each would make their own bed without any prompting.

    I’ve cleaned houses on the side for over 20 years and most shelving is 12-24 inches deep. The way you folded the towels is the way I have always done it. My clients were always so amazed how much I could fit by folding their items differently. Great video!

  • @rosechoix
    @rosechoix Před 2 lety +20

    There's a way to fold fitted sheets so they're not too crazy looking. The trick is to grab them by the corners (where the bed corners would go) and fold them from there. I always have to set it down to do the opposite side but it ends up with 'corners' so it doesn't look too wild. And noooo, not all those wild socks!

    • @OhiChicken
      @OhiChicken Před 28 dny

      I can get that part down pat, it's folding it up once all the 4 corners are together. I can't get it straight and flat enough to fold so it looks normal.

    Hi Mai, I have been watching your videos for a few months now. I started when I stumbled upon your how to create a baby registry videos for when I was pregnant and found your relaxed, visual approach really helpful and easy!!! Now my baby boy is 4 months old, I am back to work and dealing with some postpartum issues with the new balance of things. I just want you to know that your videos help so so much! Your upbeat energy and willingness to show the real life senerio is refreshing and gives me motivation to know that things are going to be ok and I don't need to put so much pressure on myself to be somone else's idea of perfect.

    • @MaiZimmy
      @MaiZimmy  Před 2 lety +3

      so glad you find my videos helpful! always try to keep it 💯I know exactly what you mean. When you see all these picture perfect Instagram worthy households it feels overwhelming cause i know I will NEVER live up to that so its like why even try?? I was never really taught how to "maintain" a household, so I'm just trying to learn and do my best each day :) and you'll get back into the swing of things. I remember my first week or really month being back at work was SO HARD. but it made seeing my babies at pickup the best. You'll get through it mama and feel free to DM me if you ever have any questions on IG

      yes!!! I hate having mismatched socks, so I also only have black socks: a set that go below the ankle and a set that are longer for any boots/colder weather. The only colorful socks I won are nice warm ones that I wear during fall/winter when its cold or at home.

    So I’ve been decluttering and reorganizing my home as well, but I can’t make myself get rid of some of the baby things. Like the baby blankets. The fact that you are just able to get rid of them - I wish I could. I just cry and put them back in the closet and cling to the memories 😭😭😭
    Also, I only buy my three kids white socks and their STILL the bane of my existence because all my kiddos are different sizes and I hate sorting them.
    I actually JUST bought each of my kids their own mesh laundry bag and they put their own dirty socks in their own bag so that it’s not as terrible. So far, it’s been working. We’ll see how long it lasts 🥴
