Happy Thursday! I hope you enjoy this extra Thursday video! 😊Thanks for always showing up & be a part of my community! You are all amazing! Have a great day!!
Here’s a Q: is it more motivating to clean when you know you’ll make it a video? Also, I’d love to hear about if you’ve always been someone to clean often, did you used to have a set schedule? Did you have an upbringing where cleaning was required/how does your routine match or how is it totally opposite from what you were raised seeing? Maybe you’ve answered these before, but that’s what I’m wondering! Hope that’s helpful ☺️ if I was making a video I think my mind would immediately go to why I am the way I am 🤣 so into cleaning, why it’s relaxing to me and why it makes me feel good and on top of things
I'm interested in these answers as well. My sister and I are super cleaners like this... We were raised by hoarders and have been told this is our 'control' over something we couldn't in our youth.
love your content it motivates me so much!❤I'd also love to see your "day off" routine or something like a pamper routine on the days you take care of your self and just relax💗
Thanks!! This is a good idea! I'll talk about this! I'll admit - I don't get a lot of free time but there are definitely some things I do for self care!
I can remember when I was a little girl my Mom would clean and do laundry when we went to bed. She said always got more done at night and the house was clean when we woke up.
My mom used to do laundry and vacuum when we were little and in bed and the vacuum running always soothed me to sleep. I guess it’s something weird bc when my youngest son was a baby, he was so colicky and the only thing that soothed him was the sound of the vacuum cleaner running lol.
I don't find you boring or repetitive Jamie , I love how you casually chat to us your a beautiful person and our lives are all pretty much the same when you have a family this is life!😁❤
Happy Thursday Jamie! My question is… When Do you get “ Me “ time? What is your favorite way to just do something for yourself? Mine is going and getting a mani/pedi. We all need to take time for ourselves. We spend so much time looking after everyone else that you forget to take care of you.
Hi Jamie, you can talk about whatever you want to share with us like workout, your girls, etc. And your life is not boring at all, I’m always watching your videos from Brazil and for me, it’s amazing 😄
The season of life where we’re raising young kids feels like it will never end sometimes. Then I have to remind myself that the days are long but the years are short! They’ll be all grown up before we know it so I try to find the joy in even the hardest days 🥰
Yes! My girls are Teenagers now, Always in the go 😭 I miss them being under my feet. But we do have alot of fun still... It's just different. I can't Believe how fast they went from like 8 to 14. It FLEW by! 😥
Whenever Avery prepares to head back to school in the fall I would love to see more of how you prepare for that. Organization of school supplies, lunch supplies, etc, morning/evening routines (doesn’t have to include videos of her…just general ideas for other mamas!)
I can totally relate. We try to be grateful for the repetition in life. This helps us to know that everything is good. I know that might sound odd. But like you said, life can change in an instant. Sometimes it’s satisfying to find contentment in the “boring” rhythms of life. But here are 2 questions: Q: do you enjoy reading? And if so, what do you like to read? Q: each spring I always “wash my walls”. I use a mop and bucket with Murphy’s Oil Soap and wash my walls. I always remember my grandmother and mom doing this. Have you ever done that? I know it’s kind of weird, but I was just curious! Lol
@@kimyates3583 I’ve used it on plaster walls and Sheetrock walls. It’s like 1 or 1 and a half cap fulls in a bucket of hot water. It has the best smell when it’s all done!
You literally said my thoughts out loud 😂. I feel like most of us crave the simplicity- the calmness. At the same time, it gets very boring & mundane at times. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who feels like that.
I love doing my kitchen. It’s the heart of the home so I need it clean before I can tackle other areas. I agree that folding and putting away laundry is the pits!
I’m the opposite I don’t mind doing laundry but hate cleaning bathroom particularly the bath and the shower especially glass doors 😳. I do like cleaning my kitchen though. Would welcome suggestions for coping with cat and dog hair we have a few rescue animals but it seems like I’m always cleaning up hair it gets everywhere😳
Yay, an extra video! So excited! My question is about your routine - when do you work out, make meals, clean, spend family time, etc. I'd also love to know how often you clean various things; I know that's individual and varies even within a family, but approximately.
I’m a scheduled person too. And if my schedule gets derailed for whatever reason, I get frustrated. If I can keep to my schedule, I feel like it keeps my anxiety at bay. I need to learn to be more flexible because things happen and I get interrupted! Happy Thursday! ❤️
Hey Jamie! Love the cleaning motivation, thank you. I would ask, what are your daily non-negotiables? (Routine, make bed, journaling?) The things you like to do each day, no matter what!
You are totally right Jamie about you just never know so appreciate the moment ...5 weeks ago I was enjoying being a newlywed with a beautiful family of 2 bonus children (Stepkiddos) and a husband . I only married 5 months ago and really thought this was my happily ever after ... then one day my husband abruptly left me saying he wanted a divorce , left me with a mortgage to pay and immediately got his own place and took the kids with him ( which is legal since they are my step kids and not biological) and cleaned out the bank account to buy a brand new sports car...I instantly felt like heartbroken like my entire heart was just ripped from my body , and I never seen it coming , just doing my weekly routine and one day he just left me... I am not a super cleaner like yourself , but I found your channel one day while crying and watching videos of cleaning instantly became a bit of therapy for me to watch and actually get up and Clean ... now I still do have a true therapist lol but thank you for your videos ... I know it may seem just a normal boring day to you but oddly just watching actually keeps me not focused on the pain and actually motivates me to get up and Clean and not feel defeated.thanks Jamie❤️
I totally started sorting through our paper clutter when I saw you posted this video! I love your content - it is so motivating! I have only been watching your videos for a month or two, but I have started a night cleaning routine where I clean my entire bottom floor of my house after my 1 year old goes to bed. It's so nice waking up to a clean house in the morning! It has also removed a lot of the stress that my husband and naturally develop when the house is messy. Thank you so much for your videos. They have definitely helped me improve my productivity!
I totally know what you’re talking about… The every day hustle and bustle of being a wife and mother is tough! Everything is super repetitive and you’re constantly craving more fun and excitement in your life, but at the same time being grateful for having a happy and healthy family. I’m sure that her mother who just lost her child for instance would reminisce on the old days when everyone was happy and healthy, so you definitely don’t want to take those regular days for granted either. It’s a constant balancing act
As a retired senior I have always cleaned stuff every day. I worked full time, went to college full time and raised two kids. They are teaching their kids how to clean now.
I’ve been looking forward to this all week! Was home sick today and this made me feel much better hehe. I love your pajamas! You wanted more questions from us, one question I have is are you still thinking of moving? Would you stay in Ohio near parents/ in laws? If you did move would you still do the videos at the new home?
Hey Jamie my question is Where are some of you and your family's favorite vacation spots? I know you have 3 small children and that you stay busy so if you haven't where would be on vacation?😊
LOVED this video and voice over talking you did! I do LOVE watching you clean and getting stuff done and it gives me motivation to want to do it when I get home from my full time office job but I only do what I have the patience and energy to do. I have a very hard time being able to get around to vacuuming and mopping my floors. I don't do it very often and should but time gets away from me too easily and when I see messes being made by everyone in our family right after I cleaned it discourages me and frustrates me but I have to just let it go and not get too stressed over it. Also, I can relate very well to being the kind of person that likes consistent schedules and I thrive on doing the same routine over and over every week. I do know that things can come up and plans do change and even though it flusters me when it happens I just have to go with the flow and figured it out. I also try to just keep my cool so my kids know it will be fine and we will get through whatever changed our plans. Even the most positive of changes I am okay with but at the end of the day when I know something isn't going to get done because of a change in plans I do feel out of sorts and wonder when I'll be able to get whatever chore or "thing" of mine done that needed to be done before that change happened. I think a lot of those feelings I get comes from having a lot of change in my life growing up and I had a VERY hard time adjusting to change and getting settled into a new routine before another change happened again and I couldn't do anything about it. Thanks for chatting with us! :)
I so love your videos when I’m cleaning. I like you talking through them also. It’s like a friend is talking. I’m working on doing schedules for cleaning my home. I have to keep it simple for me to keep doing it.
-Bacon fried cabbage. -Lemon pepper salmon with lemon pepper asparagus. -Grilled kabobs. - Grilled meat, broccoli with cheese, califlower rice or mashed califlower. - Snacks are pork rinds, boiled eggs, a few tbps of peanut butter, nuts, or low carb ice cream :) Just a few ideas!!
I've felt like the last year has been Groundhog day. Finally this month our calendar actually has parties and family gatherings to go to and I'm so excited! My question is if the twins were boys what would their names be?
a few questions for your video! 1. what are your favorite hobbies besides cleaning? 2. what are your favorite things or rooms to clean? 3. how do you stay motivated even when you don’t feel like doing anything? 💗
Oh Wow! I never thought of taking that bottom drawer out to vacuum under the oven. I have always waited for hubby to pull the oven out for me. Thank you!
I totally understand that feeling of repetition in life as I am a sahm too and sometimes I won't plan my week . And while it may be a mind bender for some it's exciting to never know what's next lol. This was motivating new friend here.🥰
Seeing you clean the outside of your glass door reminded me of a story my mom tells. She was doing that when I was in my walker (1983) and I locked her out of the house by bumping the stick into the track. She had to go to the neighbors and call my aunt who had a spare key. I was not a happy camper when she finally got back in the house!
I’m a very routine based person too. I by groceries on certain days. Meals are at certain times. I even have a laundry schedule. I wish I could get even better with the routines so I could stay on top of everything. One day at a time.
Right? I never thought to simply pull out the drawer! Instead I pull the oven out to sweep/mop/dust every 6 mos or so. And typically dread it because of all the fur.
Im a scheduled person too. I feel like I wasnt like that til I had my twins. Then I had to be a "live by the routine" mom. Now its just habit. Lol I was wandering what do you do in the summer to keep the girls busy and entertained? Any certain activities or day trips y'all like to do?
We go to the park A LOT! Play outside as much as possible! They LOVE being outside. We have a trampoline and swingset at our house and a small, blow up pool! Luckily they still nap so it breaks up the day!
Yes life is very repetitive, but I am a person that likes it that way. I lost my Hubby 10 years ago and my Son last year, seeing your videos and listening to you talk helps me get things done. I have MS and use a computer chair to roll around to clean and get things done.
What made you decide to start a channel? I love cleaning and enjoy a very clean house. However my husband and daughter do not agree. They help, but I always want to do it make it look nice. I want the house that anyone can stop by and it’s clean. Is that unrealistic? Also, I know you said you can’t put in a different fence. Can you plant a row of trees that would give you more privacy?
Que todas nós ,mãe esposas dona de casa que tem o sonho de crescer no CZcams consigamos realizar todos os nossos sonhos que o senhor Jesus tome frente🙏
Made so much sense to me with everything being the same comments. I really needed to hear that!! I feel like my life was getting so boring and honestly useless for so long but it really is all about mindset! Be grateful for everything being okay and steady and embrace where you are in life. That’s exactly how it needs to be looked at! Thanks Jamie! Love you and your sweet family!! ❤️💗❤️
I enjoy these clean with me videos! I would love to see a closet organization video. I love those. I also love to clean at night! It’s my favorite time to clean. It’s so much more relaxing without your kids and your husband. You can kinda just do what you wanna do on your own with no one in your way and being bothered😅
How do you protect your hands after being wet and having cleaners on them all the time? Ever thought of wearing gloves while you clean? What’s your secret??
Been cleaning with you so my house is spotless when we leave for a week of camping with family and friends for a week on Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thanks for sharing your routines, I struggle with getting into a cleaning routine. I love to have a clean house but my family works against me constantly, so I feel like my house is always a mess. I have to have quite the pep talk with myself in order to get started and find that I can only clean on weekends or on breaks during work! It's exhausting, thanks for being real!
When you were talking about enjoying the repetition of life, and to enjoy it I can totally relate. We lost our youngest sister at 38 to cancer six months after her baby girl was born. She tried for so many years to have children. Whenever I get down, I always stop and think; Mindy would love to be here living in every day humdrum 🥲 I’d give everything to have her here just one more day. I love your outlook on life Jamie❤️
I have 3 little kids, too (including twins), and most days do seem long and repetitive. Then I think about how fast time is flying, and I can’t believe it. I’m trying to stay in the moment, because they’ll be grown in the blink of an eye. Thank you for always being so motivating. I’ve especially enjoyed your low carb recipes.
Hello, New Sub here Following from Miami, Fl. Loved your video. I saw you were using a swifter to clean the top of the cabinets. I have a tip for you to make ur life easier. Use parchment paper for the top of the cabinets. It will keep them cleaner and the grease from cooking will fall on the parchment and in the long run it will be much much easier to clean them up. But thank you for the video I really love these night time cleaning videos ☺️☺️
Sigh of relief! Just got caught up to the last 3 videos. Work has been insane for me these past few weeks! My house is a complete disaster and I have been feeling super overwhelmed looking at all the mess. Some times I feel defeated, it’s like my family against me 😩 anybody else?! Today is Friday and I plan on tackling the entire house this weekend to get it back in order. Your videos help me so much. They make me feel better about not being able to keep up with things on the daily. Thank you so much Jamie! 💗
I just started watching you two days ago and I just subscribed to your Chanel today. Since I’ve been watching you I definitely began to break out of my depression and actually start cleaning up this mess I’ve done let pile up. I appreciate your content and thank you for always linking in the description the products you use to clean. I will forever be grateful and complain less. You have four kids and such a big house.. Superman is a understatement when referring to you. 🙏🏼🤞🏼
I relate to what you're saying. As a toddler mom it's easy to get bored even though you are grateful. I think it's healthy to admit that it's different but that it's only for a season. Sometimes we work so hard to get away from our kids and have some time off but then we could guilty for having that. I think it can be both.
When you have small kids the days and weeks just run together. I ran with 4 kids. We did figure skating, soccer, swimming, baseball, gymnastics. Now that it's over I'm board. Housework is not really my thing. I listen to you and somedays it motivates me and other days it doesn't. I did run with my grandson. We did Sea cadets for 6 yrs. That gave a second chance to go. I'm waiting for the next generation.
There has been a lot of upheaval this last year with COVID, losing loved ones, and my parents and in-laws health. I am grateful for the boring routines when nothing is happening. Like you said it means things are going well. I also have a basket for husband’s laundry after I fold it. I like things to go a certain way and get anxious when it doesn’t, I need to be more flexible as well. Would love to hear you talk about your kids! Personalities,, what they love to do, funny stories, etc. Great video Jamie! Have a good day! 😊❤️👍
I am the exact same! I like my routine for both myself and my kids and as soon as a monkey wrench gets thrown into the mix, I definitely get frazzled/anxious. Like you said, the fact that we can recognize it is a good thing, but finding ways to get through it is the challenging part. As always, thanks for the amazing motivation :)
You will miss these days, my three are all adults now with their own families and I miss when they were little. I was exhausted but never regretted being there 24/7 with them, best years of my life!
Completely understand what you are saying about things being repetitive. I think, especially being a stay-at-home mom, it comes with the territory. You have to clean this bathroom over and over, it's this time of day so dinner then get kids ready for bed. Sometimes I try to sneak something different in like spontaneously go for a drive and explore the area we live. Sometimes it helps me! But you are right. We gotta be thankful for this life and being healthy/happy. ❤ Thanks Jamie, for your videos!
I am genuinely only on CZcams for your videos.. it is almost sad how much I look forward to them.. thanks for being my daily cleaning buddy and encouraging me to do more 👍🏼
Your life isn't boring and its the everyday mundine tasks that keep us grounnded I feel when my husband passed 15yrs ago it was these tasks that kept me moving along with caring for our horses I always clean bathrooms and change towels and bed linen on Fridays washing Saturday so uniforms are clean for school. Cleaning is an ongoing thing this week my schedule has been thrown out of whack though so behind on it all but thats life lol some good questions there looking forward to your answers xx
Jamie, with the pink stuff, once you have scrubbed it onto your stove, go and rinse it out then go back over with the soft side of the sponge and get the product off 🙂 xxxx
Hi I’m watching from Peterborough in the U.K.. You motivate me so much Jamie especially when I was felt so tired today after having my second COVID vaccine
Hi Jamie! I have a question..How are your kitchen cabinets holding up since you had them painted? Would love to paint ours white. Jamie I bet you have the cleanest house in your neighborhood 😂 I really love your cleaning videos and I enjoyed how you chit chat with us while you are cleaning. It’s like talking to a friend. You are so thorough with your cleaning and I love that!!
Love your voice overs. I know I have chatted with you on Instagram and I appreciate how you respond to me and others. You're right those things that happen and change our lives come quickly and unexpectedly. They really make us lose our place in life and have to start over. There are a lot of great questions on here. My Q is ... how much longer do you see yourself doing CZcams?
I absolutely know what you are talking about. I do this same routine everyday. My husband is getting close to standing up for the first time in 2yrs and I can't wait. I have been trying to mix my routine it does help some. I haven't had time for myself in awhile. I truly need that. I think that is why I feel this way. I'm a photographer and I have missed taking pictures.
I loved the old school playlist you posted on Instagram that went with this video!!! As someone who also graduated highschool in 04 this brought me back! Loved it and couldn't agree more sometimes you need those jams that just get you hyped when cleaning. Thank you for the reminder and generally being so great.
Hey Jamie! I enjoy the nighttime clean with me videos! It tends to be when I clean. I wish I could be more like my mom who has always enjoyed getting up early and opening up the windows for sunlight and fresh air. I’d wake up to the Shirelles playing and the house smelling like pinesol. But I am not a morning person. Never have been. My energy hits when the sun goes down and everything is peaceful and silent. I find cleaning more enjoyable when there’s no distractions.
I enjoy the night time cleaning because that is often when I clean as well. I also like when you offer different cleaning tips, hacks, or home remedies for cleaning. Other content I enjoy are your organizing videos and when you help your mom organize. Love DIYs too - large and small. Thanks for the motivation!
as a single mama of a toddler i know exactly what you mean, as far as the days feeling the same. But again there's always a moment every day where my kid does or says something new or surprising. Those are the reminders that I use to recognize that time is passing and these moments are precious. Even when cleaning the kitchen for the millionth time, I'm cleaning big girl cups instead of bottles now. She's tall enough that she can throw her own cup in the sink now. Hope you get what I'm saying.
Jamie, I've discovered a solution for my dry skin. You didn't mention what you do but thought I'd share my findings. So after showering, I apply fragrance free lotion to damp skin. I LOVE CeraVe moisturizing cream but any fragrance free lotion will work well. This saved my skin so I share whenever possible 🙂
Hi there! I'm pretty new to your channel and from Northern Illinois. I just have to say you are such a great motivation. Since day 1 I feel like I have noticed little changes in my attitude about cleaning. I'm married and we have 2 kids (14yrs and 12yrs) and my husband and I both work full time. My husband has been able to work from home, but unfortunately I don't get to and even wind up staying late most days. I'm usually so tired and would absolutely dread doing more work when I get home. However, now I'm actually excited to accomplish things when I get home and on the weekends. So thank you for that! Also, the song you mentioned ("Breath" by Michelle Branch) just made me smile so big! That was the only song that would help my son fall asleep as a baby. I had to sing it to him while pacing around before every nap, before bedtime, and even if he woke up scared. He's almost 13, and even when he hears it now I notice him getting sleepy...lol! Brings back so many memories of baby snuggles 💕💓💗
Good morning Jamie! Thanks for sharing about how you are a very scheduled person. I thought I was the only one😂 I too get flustered if I miss something on my list for the day or have something added suddenly (last minute plans don’t work with me) haha but I have been practicing being flexible and it gets easier after lots of practice 😅 Thanks for the cleaning motivation!!
Hi Jamie!!! I'm a newbie to your page!!! Let me just say Wow!!! I have been watching your videos for about two months now!! You have helped me in so many ways!!! Thank you!!!!
Hi Jamie! I personally love it when u clean at night. I also do a lot of my cleaning at night too. I prefer cleaning at night. I have a 12 year old and a one year old and my husband is disabled it's just easier to clean at night when my kids and my husband are asleep. I feel like I can get more done at that time. I love watching all of your videos they give me so much motivation. Thank u so much for sharing your videos. 💜
Happy Thursday! I hope you enjoy this extra Thursday video! 😊Thanks for always showing up & be a part of my community! You are all amazing! Have a great day!!
What does your husband do for a living
Hope you have a great day yourself ☺
Hey! What’s the brush called you use to clean the inside of your toilets?
Good Morning Have A great Day Love ❤️

@@JamiesJourney We sure do.
Whenever Avery prepares to head back to school in the fall I would love to see more of how you prepare for that. Organization of school supplies, lunch supplies, etc, morning/evening routines (doesn’t have to include videos of her…just general ideas for other mamas!)
Thank you, great ideas!!
I can totally relate. We try to be grateful for the repetition in life. This helps us to know that everything is good. I know that might sound odd. But like you said, life can change in an instant. Sometimes it’s satisfying to find contentment in the “boring” rhythms of life.
But here are 2 questions:
Q: do you enjoy reading? And if so, what do you like to read?
Q: each spring I always “wash my walls”. I use a mop and bucket with Murphy’s Oil Soap and wash my walls. I always remember my grandmother and mom doing this. Have you ever done that? I know it’s kind of weird, but I was just curious! Lol
Thanks! Great questions!
Christina do you use Murphy's wood soap oil on sheet rock walls or plaster walls?

Been looking forward to this all morning. You were the motivation I needed to declutter and deep clean my house. 💕
Yes agree
Thank you!! I hope I gave you plenty of motivation!
Agreed. I'm always motivated to get up and clean something after watching her videos.
@@JamiesJourney yes you Do
❤😌
What’s your favorite part of cleaning? Whats a part of cleaning that makes you DREAD doing it?
Good question!
I hate folding laundry and dread putting away. My favorite would be cleaning my bathroom , love me a clean toilet and shower
I love doing my kitchen. It’s the heart of the home so I need it clean before I can tackle other areas. I agree that folding and putting away laundry is the pits!
I’m the opposite I don’t mind doing laundry but hate cleaning bathroom particularly the bath and the shower especially glass doors 😳. I do like cleaning my kitchen though. Would welcome suggestions for coping with cat and dog hair we have a few rescue animals but it seems like I’m always cleaning up hair it gets everywhere😳
@@sueb3581 cat hair will be the death of me.
Yay, an extra video! So excited!
My question is about your routine - when do you work out, make meals, clean, spend family time, etc. I'd also love to know how often you clean various things; I know that's individual and varies even within a family, but approximately.
Good questions!
“R u going to go night night”
“No”🤣🤣🤣
😂
I’m a scheduled person too. And if my schedule gets derailed for whatever reason, I get frustrated. If I can keep to my schedule, I feel like it keeps my anxiety at bay. I need to learn to be more flexible because things happen and I get interrupted! Happy Thursday! ❤️
Totally understand!!
Hey Jamie! Love the cleaning motivation, thank you.
I would ask, what are your daily non-negotiables? (Routine, make bed, journaling?) The things you like to do each day, no matter what!
Ah thanks for the great questions!
I love the idea of a closet organization video!! Super pumped! Could you also do one including the girls room and how you organize their things?!
Awesome!! And thank you, great idea!
You are totally right Jamie about you just never know so appreciate the moment ...5 weeks ago I was enjoying being a newlywed with a beautiful family of 2 bonus children (Stepkiddos) and a husband . I only married 5 months ago and really thought this was my happily ever after ... then one day my husband abruptly left me saying he wanted a divorce , left me with a mortgage to pay and immediately got his own place and took the kids with him ( which is legal since they are my step kids and not biological) and cleaned out the bank account to buy a brand new sports car...I instantly felt like heartbroken like my entire heart was just ripped from my body , and I never seen it coming , just doing my weekly routine and one day he just left me... I am not a super cleaner like yourself , but I found your channel one day while crying and watching videos of cleaning instantly became a bit of therapy for me to watch and actually get up and Clean ... now I still do have a true therapist lol but thank you for your videos ... I know it may seem just a normal boring day to you but oddly just watching actually keeps me not focused on the pain and actually motivates me to get up and Clean and not feel defeated.thanks Jamie❤️
❤️
So sorry for what you’re going through. I’m happy to be “there” with you 🥰 take care of yourself!
I totally started sorting through our paper clutter when I saw you posted this video! I love your content - it is so motivating! I have only been watching your videos for a month or two, but I have started a night cleaning routine where I clean my entire bottom floor of my house after my 1 year old goes to bed. It's so nice waking up to a clean house in the morning! It has also removed a lot of the stress that my husband and naturally develop when the house is messy. Thank you so much for your videos. They have definitely helped me improve my productivity!
I totally understand what you mean about stress when the house is messy! i'm always stressed when my house is messy!
I totally know what you’re talking about… The every day hustle and bustle of being a wife and mother is tough! Everything is super repetitive and you’re constantly craving more fun and excitement in your life, but at the same time being grateful for having a happy and healthy family. I’m sure that her mother who just lost her child for instance would reminisce on the old days when everyone was happy and healthy, so you definitely don’t want to take those regular days for granted either. It’s a constant balancing act
It really is!
Have never related so accurately before. I definitely get frustrated when I make plans and they get messed up and jumbled.
I thought I was the only one!
As a retired senior I have always cleaned stuff every day. I worked full time, went to college full time and raised two kids. They are teaching their kids how to clean now.
I’ve been looking forward to this all week! Was home sick today and this made me feel much better hehe. I love your pajamas! You wanted more questions from us, one question I have is are you still thinking of moving? Would you stay in Ohio near parents/ in laws? If you did move would you still do the videos at the new home?
Great questions ☺️
Hey Jamie my question is Where are some of you and your family's favorite vacation spots? I know you have 3 small children and that you stay busy so if you haven't where would be on vacation?😊
Thanks for the questions!
Love your videos as you already know! Would love to hear about how y’all budget things as a family... I need help not spending money 😂
😂Good question!
LOVED this video and voice over talking you did! I do LOVE watching you clean and getting stuff done and it gives me motivation to want to do it when I get home from my full time office job but I only do what I have the patience and energy to do. I have a very hard time being able to get around to vacuuming and mopping my floors. I don't do it very often and should but time gets away from me too easily and when I see messes being made by everyone in our family right after I cleaned it discourages me and frustrates me but I have to just let it go and not get too stressed over it. Also, I can relate very well to being the kind of person that likes consistent schedules and I thrive on doing the same routine over and over every week. I do know that things can come up and plans do change and even though it flusters me when it happens I just have to go with the flow and figured it out. I also try to just keep my cool so my kids know it will be fine and we will get through whatever changed our plans. Even the most positive of changes I am okay with but at the end of the day when I know something isn't going to get done because of a change in plans I do feel out of sorts and wonder when I'll be able to get whatever chore or "thing" of mine done that needed to be done before that change happened. I think a lot of those feelings I get comes from having a lot of change in my life growing up and I had a VERY hard time adjusting to change and getting settled into a new routine before another change happened again and I couldn't do anything about it. Thanks for chatting with us! :)
Thanks for also sharing some information about you!
I so love your videos when I’m cleaning. I like you talking through them also. It’s like a friend is talking. I’m working on doing schedules for cleaning my home. I have to keep it simple for me to keep doing it.
Question for a fellow low carb eater (I’m insulin resistant): what is/are your favourite low carb meals/snacks? ❤️❤️
Such a good question!! Thank you!
Go dairy free and gluten free..!! Add veggies into your diet it will help you ..!!!
-Bacon fried cabbage.
-Lemon pepper salmon with lemon pepper asparagus.
-Grilled kabobs.
- Grilled meat, broccoli with cheese, califlower rice or mashed califlower.
- Snacks are pork rinds, boiled eggs, a few tbps of peanut butter, nuts, or low carb ice cream :)
Just a few ideas!!
I've felt like the last year has been Groundhog day. Finally this month our calendar actually has parties and family gatherings to go to and I'm so excited! My question is if the twins were boys what would their names be?
Yes! Same here! It feels so good to get back to normal life!
a few questions for your video! 1. what are your favorite hobbies besides cleaning? 2. what are your favorite things or rooms to clean? 3. how do you stay motivated even when you don’t feel like doing anything? 💗
Thank you for the great questions!
Oh Wow! I never thought of taking that bottom drawer out to vacuum under the oven. I have always waited for hubby to pull the oven out for me. Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I totally understand that feeling of repetition in life as I am a sahm too and sometimes I won't plan my week . And while it may be a mind bender for some it's exciting to never know what's next lol. This was motivating new friend here.🥰
I never thought about it that way!!
@@deziphisher1763 you're not wrong! Sounds like you have a beautiful life. Stay blessed and carefree my friend🥰
How many vacuum cleaners do you have? I feel like I always see you using different ones!
Yes! I need to know about the vacuums too! Lol
Seeing you clean the outside of your glass door reminded me of a story my mom tells. She was doing that when I was in my walker (1983) and I locked her out of the house by bumping the stick into the track. She had to go to the neighbors and call my aunt who had a spare key. I was not a happy camper when she finally got back in the house!
Oh wow! Yes, I bet you weren’t!
I love the products you recommend. I never get tired of seeing new ideas !! Boring no never ! I love watching you
Oh I ordered the pink stuff on Amazon !! And the yellow jammies !!
Thank you!!!! ☺️
I'm currently at work watching this to relax.
I hope you have a great work day!
I literally do this all the time! Lol
I love night time cleaning videos they are so relaxing!! Do you have any vacations planned? Keep on keeping it real 😄❤️
we do! I will share that in my next video!
I'm into your night cleaning, that's when I love to clean, I've always been a night owl over an early bird
Yes! Thank you ☺️
I’m a very routine based person too. I by groceries on certain days. Meals are at certain times. I even have a laundry schedule. I wish I could get even better with the routines so I could stay on top of everything. One day at a time.
I thought i was the only one who did these same things!
Wow, I need to clean under my stove!
Right? I never thought to simply pull out the drawer! Instead I pull the oven out to sweep/mop/dust every 6 mos or so. And typically dread it because of all the fur.
Im a scheduled person too. I feel like I wasnt like that til I had my twins. Then I had to be a "live by the routine" mom. Now its just habit. Lol I was wandering what do you do in the summer to keep the girls busy and entertained? Any certain activities or day trips y'all like to do?
We go to the park A LOT! Play outside as much as possible! They LOVE being outside. We have a trampoline and swingset at our house and a small, blow up pool! Luckily they still nap so it breaks up the day!
Yes life is very repetitive, but I am a person that likes it that way. I lost my Hubby 10 years ago and my Son last year, seeing your videos and listening to you talk helps me get things done. I have MS and use a computer chair to roll around to clean and get things done.
I am truly so sorry to hear of your husband and son. You’re so inspiring!
Couldn’t agree more with your talk on being grateful for everything being the same every week and whatnot! I totally feel that! And you’re so right!!!
🥰
What made you decide to start a channel? I love cleaning and enjoy a very clean house. However my husband and daughter do not agree. They help, but I always want to do it make it look nice. I want the house that anyone can stop by and it’s clean. Is that unrealistic?
Also, I know you said you can’t put in a different fence. Can you plant a row of trees that would give you more privacy?
Good questions! Yes, that’s our plan if we decide to stay! We don’t want to put in the investment if we don’t stay here
Que todas nós ,mãe esposas dona de casa que tem o sonho de crescer no CZcams consigamos realizar todos os nossos sonhos que o senhor Jesus tome frente🙏
Made so much sense to me with everything being the same comments. I really needed to hear that!! I feel like my life was getting so boring and honestly useless for so long but it really is all about mindset! Be grateful for everything being okay and steady and embrace where you are in life. That’s exactly how it needs to be looked at! Thanks Jamie! Love you and your sweet family!! ❤️💗❤️
Your life is definitely not useless ☺️ and thank you!
I enjoy these clean with me videos! I would love to see a closet organization video. I love those. I also love to clean at night! It’s my favorite time to clean. It’s so much more relaxing without your kids and your husband. You can kinda just do what you wanna do on your own with no one in your way and being bothered😅
How do you protect your hands after being wet and having cleaners on them all the time? Ever thought of wearing gloves while you clean? What’s your secret??
My hands have been had any issues with the cleaners I use! They don't even get dry! I honestly don't do anything special, either!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Been cleaning with you so my house is spotless when we leave for a week of camping with family and friends for a week on Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thank you!! Enjoy your trip!
You crack me up on the counters!! You go girl!!
Living life on the edge!😂
What are the 5 cleaning products you couldn’t live without?
Good one! This is hard to answer too!
You're stranded in a disgusting house. What is the 1 product/cleaning tool you would bring?
Oh fun question!!
Jamie I Truly understand how you feel. But at the end I loved that we can realiza we are blessed with what God has given us a small little family. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your routines, I struggle with getting into a cleaning routine. I love to have a clean house but my family works against me constantly, so I feel like my house is always a mess. I have to have quite the pep talk with myself in order to get started and find that I can only clean on weekends or on breaks during work! It's exhausting, thanks for being real!
When you were talking about enjoying the repetition of life, and to enjoy it I can totally relate. We lost our youngest sister at 38 to cancer six months after her baby girl was born. She tried for so many years to have children. Whenever I get down, I always stop and think; Mindy would love to be here living in every day humdrum 🥲 I’d give everything to have her here just one more day.
I love your outlook on life Jamie❤️
I am so, so incredibly sorry.
May we all enjoy that humdrum ❤️
@@JamiesJourney thank you so much Jamie❤️
I have 3 little kids, too (including twins), and most days do seem long and repetitive. Then I think about how fast time is flying, and I can’t believe it. I’m trying to stay in the moment, because they’ll be grown in the blink of an eye.
Thank you for always being so motivating. I’ve especially enjoyed your low carb recipes.
Staying in the moment can be so hard but i also know it's important!
Hello, New Sub here Following from Miami, Fl. Loved your video. I saw you were using a swifter to clean the top of the cabinets. I have a tip for you to make ur life easier. Use parchment paper for the top of the cabinets. It will keep them cleaner and the grease from cooking will fall on the parchment and in the long run it will be much much easier to clean them up. But thank you for the video I really love these night time cleaning videos ☺️☺️
Thank you for sharing!
Love this night time cleaning video…and I love your commentary about not being flexible - I can relate….I am the same way ❤️
🥰 thanks for watching!
Found you a few days ago and I have been binge watching, thank you for the motivation I need x
i love how you can clean your windows from the inside! jealous!!
Haha it is fun!
Sigh of relief! Just got caught up to the last 3 videos. Work has been insane for me these past few weeks! My house is a complete disaster and I have been feeling super overwhelmed looking at all the mess. Some times I feel defeated, it’s like my family against me 😩 anybody else?! Today is Friday and I plan on tackling the entire house this weekend to get it back in order. Your videos help me so much. They make me feel better about not being able to keep up with things on the daily. Thank you so much Jamie! 💗
Sorry you’re feeling defeated, I think we’ve all been there! Hope your day looks up 🥰
I know EXACTLY what you’re talking about with the days being so similar. I like your perspective. 💕
I just started watching you two days ago and I just subscribed to your Chanel today. Since I’ve been watching you I definitely began to break out of my depression and actually start cleaning up this mess I’ve done let pile up. I appreciate your content and thank you for always linking in the description the products you use to clean. I will forever be grateful and complain less. You have four kids and such a big house.. Superman is a understatement when referring to you. 🙏🏼🤞🏼
Aww thank you! I’m grateful for you too!!🥰
I relate to what you're saying. As a toddler mom it's easy to get bored even though you are grateful. I think it's healthy to admit that it's different but that it's only for a season. Sometimes we work so hard to get away from our kids and have some time off but then we could guilty for having that. I think it can be both.
You are so right! I tell myself this is a “season” all of the time!
I’d love to see things you’ve tried that haven’t worked. Like vinegar mixes etc. love watching your videos, you really are amazing!
When you have small kids the days and weeks just run together. I ran with 4 kids. We did figure skating, soccer, swimming, baseball, gymnastics. Now that it's over I'm board. Housework is not really my thing. I listen to you and somedays it motivates me and other days it doesn't. I did run with my grandson. We did Sea cadets for 6 yrs. That gave a second chance to go. I'm waiting for the next generation.
There has been a lot of upheaval this last year with COVID, losing loved ones, and my parents and in-laws health. I am grateful for the boring routines when nothing is happening. Like you said it means things are going well. I also have a basket for husband’s laundry after I fold it. I like things to go a certain way and get anxious when it doesn’t, I need to be more flexible as well. Would love to hear you talk about your kids! Personalities,, what they love to do, funny stories, etc. Great video Jamie! Have a good day! 😊❤️👍
Completely understand ☺️ thanks for the ideas!
👏🏻to Groundhog Day! I feel like that too, but like you, remind myself life is good and we are happy, healthy and have good stable jobs.
That’s all we can ask for!
I am the exact same! I like my routine for both myself and my kids and as soon as a monkey wrench gets thrown into the mix, I definitely get frazzled/anxious. Like you said, the fact that we can recognize it is a good thing, but finding ways to get through it is the challenging part. As always, thanks for the amazing motivation :)
Thank you for being here ☺️
You will miss these days, my three are all adults now with their own families and I miss when they were little. I was exhausted but never regretted being there 24/7 with them, best years of my life!
We definitely try to make the most of this time with the girls ☺️
Completely understand what you are saying about things being repetitive. I think, especially being a stay-at-home mom, it comes with the territory. You have to clean this bathroom over and over, it's this time of day so dinner then get kids ready for bed. Sometimes I try to sneak something different in like spontaneously go for a drive and explore the area we live. Sometimes it helps me! But you are right. We gotta be thankful for this life and being healthy/happy. ❤ Thanks Jamie, for your videos!
A little spontaneous drive sounds nice! thanks for being here ☺️
I am genuinely only on CZcams for your videos.. it is almost sad how much I look forward to them.. thanks for being my daily cleaning buddy and encouraging me to do more 👍🏼
Aw thank you! Happy to be your cleaning buddy ☺️
Your life isn't boring and its the everyday mundine tasks that keep us grounnded I feel when my husband passed 15yrs ago it was these tasks that kept me moving along with caring for our horses I always clean bathrooms and change towels and bed linen on Fridays washing Saturday so uniforms are clean for school. Cleaning is an ongoing thing this week my schedule has been thrown out of whack though so behind on it all but thats life lol some good questions there looking forward to your answers xx
Thank you for sharing, so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Thanks for being here ☺️
Jamie, with the pink stuff, once you have scrubbed it onto your stove, go and rinse it out then go back over with the soft side of the sponge and get the product off 🙂 xxxx
I love listening to old music!! I do all the time when I'm cleaning or even in the car!
It puts you in the best mood!!
@@JamiesJourney it really does!!
Hi Jamie
Excellent video! Enjoyed every bit. Emery and Addison are getting so big!
Thanks for sharing. Have a fantastic and blessed one.
Yes they’re growing so fast! Thank you ☺️
Hi I’m watching from Peterborough in the U.K.. You motivate me so much Jamie especially when I was felt so tired today after having my second COVID vaccine
Hi Jamie! I have a question..How are your kitchen cabinets holding up since you had them painted? Would love to paint ours white. Jamie I bet you have the cleanest house in your neighborhood 😂 I really love your cleaning videos and I enjoyed how you chit chat with us while you are cleaning. It’s like talking to a friend. You are so thorough with your cleaning and I love that!!
Really enjoyed this video. I now have the motivation needed to clean my kitchen before bed lol
🥰
Love your voice overs. I know I have chatted with you on Instagram and I appreciate how you respond to me and others.
You're right those things that happen and change our lives come quickly and unexpectedly. They really make us lose our place in life and have to start over.
There are a lot of great questions on here. My Q is ... how much longer do you see yourself doing CZcams?
Thank you! I love chatting with you guys too!
I absolutely know what you are talking about. I do this same routine everyday. My husband is getting close to standing up for the first time in 2yrs and I can't wait. I have been trying to mix my routine it does help some. I haven't had time for myself in awhile. I truly need that. I think that is why I feel this way. I'm a photographer and I have missed taking pictures.
So wonderful to hear about your husband! I hope you can get back to taking pictures again soon☺️
Thanks I really enjoy your videos you actually inspired me to organize
I loved the old school playlist you posted on Instagram that went with this video!!! As someone who also graduated highschool in 04 this brought me back! Loved it and couldn't agree more sometimes you need those jams that just get you hyped when cleaning. Thank you for the reminder and generally being so great.
It's amazing how it can change around your mood instantly!
Hey Jamie! I enjoy the nighttime clean with me videos! It tends to be when I clean. I wish I could be more like my mom who has always enjoyed getting up early and opening up the windows for sunlight and fresh air. I’d wake up to the Shirelles playing and the house smelling like pinesol. But I am not a morning person. Never have been. My energy hits when the sun goes down and everything is peaceful and silent. I find cleaning more enjoyable when there’s no distractions.
I’m not a morning person either!!
I enjoy the night time cleaning because that is often when I clean as well. I also like when you offer different cleaning tips, hacks, or home remedies for cleaning. Other content I enjoy are your organizing videos and when you help your mom organize. Love DIYs too - large and small. Thanks for the motivation!
Thanks for letting me know what you like!
Is crazy to me that watching your video really gets me cleaning my own house! Lucky to have your video. This is weird but cool!
as a single mama of a toddler i know exactly what you mean, as far as the days feeling the same. But again there's always a moment every day where my kid does or says something new or surprising. Those are the reminders that I use to recognize that time is passing and these moments are precious. Even when cleaning the kitchen for the millionth time, I'm cleaning big girl cups instead of bottles now. She's tall enough that she can throw her own cup in the sink now. Hope you get what I'm saying.
I definitely get what you’re saying!! These are special times that go by so quickly!
Jamie, I've discovered a solution for my dry skin. You didn't mention what you do but thought I'd share my findings. So after showering, I apply fragrance free lotion to damp skin. I LOVE CeraVe moisturizing cream but any fragrance free lotion will work well. This saved my skin so I share whenever possible 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ll check it out!
Sometimes we are stuck in the same routine however I completely agree. So long as we are happy, healthy & safe.... the same routine is not so bad. ❤️
So true!
I haven't been watching any CZcams lately I've been so busy with the kids and I have honestly missed watching your videos so much!!!
Thank you so much!❤️
I need motivation to keep my house clean and exercise. It’s healthy to keep moving. I work at home and sit all day. Trying to get the motivation
I never knew that drawer under the stove came out! Now I have a new place to clean!
Have fun cleaning!
Yes! I was just thinking that I've never seen your closet! Looking forward to an organization video!
Can’t wait to share!
I’d love to hear about all of your favourite products! (Vacuums, that power washer thing you used on the sink, etc!)
Hi there! I'm pretty new to your channel and from Northern Illinois. I just have to say you are such a great motivation. Since day 1 I feel like I have noticed little changes in my attitude about cleaning. I'm married and we have 2 kids (14yrs and 12yrs) and my husband and I both work full time. My husband has been able to work from home, but unfortunately I don't get to and even wind up staying late most days. I'm usually so tired and would absolutely dread doing more work when I get home. However, now I'm actually excited to accomplish things when I get home and on the weekends. So thank you for that!
Also, the song you mentioned ("Breath" by Michelle Branch) just made me smile so big! That was the only song that would help my son fall asleep as a baby. I had to sing it to him while pacing around before every nap, before bedtime, and even if he woke up scared. He's almost 13, and even when he hears it now I notice him getting sleepy...lol! Brings back so many memories of baby snuggles 💕💓💗
Thank you for joining!! And what a sweet memory you have with your son 🥰
Good morning Jamie! Thanks for sharing about how you are a very scheduled person. I thought I was the only one😂 I too get flustered if I miss something on my list for the day or have something added suddenly (last minute plans don’t work with me) haha but I have been practicing being flexible and it gets easier after lots of practice 😅
Thanks for the cleaning motivation!!
I've also been practicing flexibility as much as I can!
I think you are the only mom on CZcams that doesn’t complain about your laundry! I don’t even recall you showing you doing laundry.
I don’t mind it at all!
Hi Jamie!!! I'm a newbie to your page!!! Let me just say Wow!!! I have been watching your videos for about two months now!! You have helped me in so many ways!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you!!
Hi Jamie! I personally love it when u clean at night. I also do a lot of my cleaning at night too. I prefer cleaning at night. I have a 12 year old and a one year old and my husband is disabled it's just easier to clean at night when my kids and my husband are asleep. I feel like I can get more done at that time. I love watching all of your videos they give me so much motivation. Thank u so much for sharing your videos. 💜
Thank you for being here 🥰 it’s nice to have time to yourself to everything done!
