I'm in college to become a teacher, but I'm thinking I might like to be a homemaker one day. Videos like these help me try to find what's in God's calling for me!
Awe, that’s awesome!:)
Same here!
Hello Sarah. I'm a teacher turned stay at home mother and I couldn't be happier. 😊
Homeschooling or semi-private teaching allows you to do both. A friend of mine teaches and the school days are a shortened week and she has chickens and makes starter bread and other things. She sees too.
When my state went into lockdown, I decided to stay home from work and keep my son home with me to reduce our exposure to COVID. It’s been over a month and sometime I was wondering if I made the right choice. Last night my son, who is 5, as we we were eating dinner thanked me for all of the food I had made for the family (even the vegetables!). I cried happy tears, I think homemaking might just be my new job! Thank you so much for all of your content, I have found it useful and inspiring! ♥️
Awe, that is so beautiful! 💕💕
Awww what a sweet moment ❤️ when they say that stuff it makes the hard stuff not matter so much. I had a similar moment with my foster kids who lived with me during COVID. My daughter said to me "thank you for cooking dinner every night. Nobody's ever cooked for us like this!" 😭 I definitely laid down that night and cried for my children. I cried happy tears because I could do that for them and sad tears because nobody had consistently cooked for them. I know what it's like to grow up "fending for yourself" so to speak. It really made me so thankful that I could be home with my kids(bio or otherwise) and they really flourished with someone's full attention. My bio son obviously is still here and we've decided I will stay home indefinitely at least while we have young kids. I hope I get the opportunity to do that for more kids who need it 🥹
Just discovered your channel today. I have just recently become engaged and a homemaker. I'm not religious, I was never raised in religion, but your content is so pure, and it brings a sense of peace.
Thank you so much for this comment!:)
Use microfiber cleaning towels - that’s my recommendation. Clean with mostly water or natural cleaners. Enjoyed your video. Routines aren’t binding - they are freeing. I have learned that sense of satisfaction when things are truly clean
Thank you so much!:) I just got some of those and love the microfiber cleaning towels!:)
I'm newly wed, and it feels like I have a friend in the same boat, listening to your house keeping tips!
Awe, that makes me so happy!:)
I find your channel so peaceful. I’m a widow, over 65, & live alone in an apt with my sweet kitty. I would love to find a channel like yours with examples & motivation for a retired woman at my stage of life.
I rise early for devotions, prayer & to plan my day. I enjoy keeping a clean and organized home, but I don’t have a routine & feel that I should be able to get more done. I attend church, make time to see or talk to friends daily, & go to a weekly table game to keep from being isolated. But I still have a long way to go when it comes to organization…
Do you know of a channel for someone older and alone?
Keep up the good work!
Awe, it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job. The only one I can think of is called something like The Homemakers Radio. I haven’t listened to a lot of her stuff myself, but I have subscribers who have recommended her to me. God bless you. ❤️
@@BecauseitMatters Thank you so much for taking time to reply and for the suggestion. I’ve never heard of her channel but I’ll check it out! Again, thank you!
I know this is an old post, but hopefully you'll still see it. I'd like to recommend "Ellen's Abundant Life." She's your age and very nice.
On the toilet cleaning!!!!! I use a pumice stone to remove the hard build up stain. You can find them at any hardware ore Home Depot stores. And to prevent the stains I use Rust Guard tablets by Whink. You place them in them in the corner of the tank. They last for about 30 days! Hope that helps!🥰
Tip for the toilet stains! Barkeepers friend is a life saver with this. Turn it into a paste with water and let it sit on the stain. I had horrible water stains on mine when I first moved in and nothing worked except barkeepers friend :) cheap and so well worth it to have white toilets! Love your videos.
Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate the tip. I will definitely get it and try it out!!!:) 💕
I was going to suggest that or Bon Ami, especially for the sink.
Clean the toilet, shut off the water valve so it doesn't refill. flush the water down and scrub with a pumice stick. Walmart and home depot carry it. Not the one on a handle, it won't get into the bottom. 😊
Setting clothes out for Sunday is 🔑
Yes!!!! 💕💕
Setting out clothes is a great idea. I used to do it as a child but not anymore. This could be great for my babies xxxx thanks for so many tips x
Awe, thank you!:) 💕
If it’s a hard water stain in your toilet, try a pumice stone! Works wonders. Also, the Pink Stuff is a miracle when it comes to getting rid of stains. You have a beautiful home!
Thank you, I got one of those stones and they are amazing!:)
A pumice stone will make your toilet 100% clean. One made for cleaning toilets. Not a foot one. Make sure you use it wet.
Oh, I’ve never heard of that. Thank you so much! Sounds like a tool worth putting in my cleaning belt!:)
Can vouch for this!!!
@Ruth Steiner they are a bit different. It's a finer stone. Using it wet is also important or you will get those scratches.
Using a pumice stone also is not something you would do super regularily. It's for hard water buildup or when you get urine crystal buildup for not flushing regularily. When cleaning its always best to start with the least harsh producs and work your way up. This technique is a few steps up but also not a harsh chemical. A good solution for when needed
Bon ami and/or a magic eraser will clean your sink or tub so well!
I also think these might work on the toilet stains if you turn the water off and drain the potty.
Bon ami is amazing! I literally just bought some. Thank you for the tip. ❤️
@@BecauseitMatters OMG! I also just found out you can use a pumice stone!!!! WHAT?! czcams.com/video/Ml6TQO9LWfc/video.html

Pumice stone. I just use the foot one. And yes see it wet! I wear gloves and just use the toilet water. Works every time 👌✨
So smart! I literally just got one!:) 😂
I really loved your video. Your videos really motivate me. God bless you and your family.
Oh, thank you so much!:) this is so encouraging to hear!❤️ god bless you as well!:)

I love this!:) awe, kindred spirits. I absolutely love routine as well! 💕
I hope you keep up the awesome work. You set a wonderful example for future homemakers 💖🌹
Thank you so much!💕
Vinegar is an excellent cleaner. Just buy the cheapest vinegar by the gallon.
Spray the build up stains, let it sit, scrub and repeat if necessary.
To clean build up stains in the toilet, pour a large quantity of vinegar into the toilet, add a pan of boiling water, let it sit, brush with the toilet brush and flush.
Im learning to be a homemaker and this video has been very useful! Keep up the great content!
Thank you so much!:) 💕
Thanks for sharing. Routines to help! Even if they are small…micro habits make large impacts in our day!
Yes!!!! That is fabulous!:)
I am new here and I love this a great deal. I am a happy homemaker, so I love meeting other homemakers as well.
It is so good to meet you! Thank you for joining this little community of women!:) 💕
This was an extremely efficant and knowledgeable video!! Thank you so much for sharing I can't wait to try this method out
Thank you so much!:)
Also, Wet n Forget shower spray can also be used on the toilet, sink, and shower once a month to zap tough stains
Thanks for the tip:)
I have probably a similar sink to yours. The best natural non-toxic I could find is power paste with scrub Daddy. You just damp your scrub Daddy dip it in the power pace and then scrub your sink down kindly. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Then give it the scrubbing that it needs and that should do it
try a pumice stone (seriously) for the toilet stains. First, turn the water off to the toilet and flush so bowl is mostly empty. soak some paper towels in white vinegar or Coca-cola and place the paper towels over the hard water stains. leave for about an hour. wipe the bowl down with the paper towels and discard. use a pumice stone on any remaining lime scale.
Thank you:)
You are such a lovely mama example, thankyou for inspiring me in my own simple life. Showing yourself also makes me more secure about my own motherly figure. Thankyou for sharing with us xxxx from an Aussie mum of 5
Awe, makes me so happy!:) absolutely ❤️
I use a pumice stone to take out the stains in the toilet. Works pretty well!!
Yes! I got one and it works so well!:)
I know this is an older video, but I also have a white composite sink that drives me crazy from getting stained. I have tried to use a few things to get it back.
The best that I found and made it like brand new white, without a lot of effort, was leaving Soft Scrub lemon with bleach in a light layer to sit for 10 min...used a scrub brush and the sink was gorgeous white.
Next is The Pink Stuff..all natural, has lye, use gloves. You have to scrub and it doesn't get it white white, but pretty close.
Last favorite was barkeeper's friend, you have to scrub again, it is adequate.
But Soft Scrub was the best less effort
Thank you for sharing this!:)
Yo….. You go girl!!!! What a breath of fresh air to see a young women being responsible in the home👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!!:)
Love this video ❤️ mother of 5 here, sometimes struggling, routine is my failure. I have a vague set of things I do each day, laundry no problem, but putting it away is hard for me. Dishes always in the sink. I feel I’m behind a lot,
Oh, you are such an inspiration! Five kids would require so very much work! I admire mothers like you so much, I struggle just with one sometimes! 😂❤️
I read this while sitting next to piles of clean laundry.
Clean laundry is not as bad as dirty laundry. 😁 You're doing good mama. No worries
I have an individual box for each bedroom. When the laundry is dry, I fold it straight off the line and put it into the appropriate box for each person. The boxes then either go straight into their bedrooms or when I'm putting the kids to bed I take their box with me. I leave my youngest child to potter around whilst I put her clothes away and when my older child is getting herself ready for bed I put her clothes away. I used to dislike putting clothes away but when I realised it literally only takes 1-2 minutes it seemed silly to leave it. The hardest part is the motivation to sort the laundry I think which is why I fold it as soon as it comes off the line. I guess you could do the same if you use a drier, just fold each item immediately so you cut out that middle bit which breaks the flow/cycle.
Powdered bleach works well for stubborn stains/grime. I also use a scrub daddy to give surfaces a good scour :)
Thank you!:)
You need to get a pumice stone from the hardware store and lightly (very lightly) go over the stains in the toilet with the pumice stone. Should come off pretty easily.
Thank you!:) I got one and it is amazing!
For the toilet stains, use scour sticks! You'll have to bear through the sound but it'll get them GONE!
Thank you so much!!!!) I will totally try that!:) ❤️
For both the sink and toilet (and basically anything stained) I like Simple Green because it is more natural or the combination of vinegar and baking soda, or combing vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap into a cleaning liquid :)
Oh thank you for the tips!❤️💕I really appreciate that!:)
Good morning my sweet girl from Greece!!!! I admire the way you keep your house in order.....you are an excellent housewife for me....I love the peace and tranquillity you offer us. The enthusiasm and the blessing of being a wife, a mother.....and most of all l adore your little daughter 😉😍😍😍I send you my love and a big big hug!!!! Have a wonderful week!!! God bless you and your family!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awe, thank you so much much for that encouraging comment!:) I really appreciate it! 💕
Awe, I adore her too!:) I don’t remember mentioning my daughters name in the videos, it’s Carolyne but we usually just call her Carrie for short. :) hope you are doing well!:) ❤️ thank you so much for always taking the time to comment and say such encouraging things. 💕💕
@@BecauseitMatters Carrie.......😍😍😍😍God bless your sweet daughter!!! I like her being around you....she reminds me of my children when they were young. I have three children aged 23,22 and 16😉Enjoy the time with her because time passes so quickly......I hope God send you another baby soon!!!!😉😘😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For toilet - wear good rubber gloves when you do this. Get a pumice stone and gently scrub away the stains. It works well for getting rid of stubborn rust stains. Please be careful and rub gently, you don't want to chip porcelain believe me. Also store the pumice stone in a little bucket labeled toilet, so no feet accidentally get scrubbed with it.
Thank you. I actually got one of those and it worked SO well!!!
Great video! It was nice to hear how other ladies do things, most all of what you do, I do too! 🙂 (I like to use a magic eraser for my sink, power clean toilet bowl cleaner works for rust/water stains. Drain out the water and then put cleaner on and put lid down, leave sit for a few hours.)
I have a strange way of thinking of homemaking (having worked outside the home before I started being a homemaker.) I "work" for my home, while not being robotic and not ignoring my kids, lol! I do things everyday as though it's an actual job. 💜
That is so awesome! I love what you said about treating your home as almost your “work” or career of choice. That is totally my view as well!:)
Why magic eraser for sink? I hadn’t thought of that one
@@Itsamantha111 My sink is white so everything shows... instead of using comet or something I just run the magic eraser over it and it gets any stains that are hanging out in there. (If I clean the sink everyday I generally just need a rag, but if I skip a few days, which happens sometimes, there's usually some kind of soap grime or whatever.)
I have had to use a pumice stone to scrub similar mineral water line deposits off of my toilet. Nothing else seems to touch them aside from the pumice stone and some elbow grease - but it does actually work and it doesn't take too long.
Yes! I got one and it works so well!!!:)
Not a natural remedy, but " the Works" is the best thing to clean that toilet... i clean my church every week, thats what use to remove rust, yellowing, ( iron water ) stains, and it cleans the sinks, floors. etc... good stuff
Thank you for the tip:)
I realy like your video. For the toilet we once in a while use aggressive tablets which are made for cleaning the toilet. Here in Germany you can find them in most stores in the cleaning area.
Oh, thank you for the tip!:)
hello homemaker, just found your channel :) lovely video
Oh, thank you so much!:) 💕
Bar keepers friend for your toilet!!
It must be good, I’ve had it recommended several times. Thank you so much!❤️
I don't know that this is really a natural alternative, but the o ly thing that keeps my white ceramic farmhouse sink shiny white is Bar Keeper's Friend. Like you, I like to use as many natural products as possible, but I haven't been able to find anything that works as good as it does.
Oh my goodness, this stuff must be good because I have been recommended it multiple times now! I will have to try it!:) thank you!:)
Use a pumice stone to remove toilet stains. It takes some elbow grease but it does work!
I actually just got one of those. Wow, they work amazingly well!!!!
“Putting the kitchen to bed” yes i say the kitchen is closed 🙌😀 love it!
Love that!:)
@@BecauseitMatters yes I need to do that better and more every evening😊
Buy the “pink stuff” on Amazon for your sink. Amazing stuff.
Oh thank you!:)
For the toilet, use a pumice stone and gently scrub.
You may have already gotten a good idea; but, the toilet stain - PUMIE STICK - Yes, Try it. It is only a couple of dollars available at Walmart. The stain is trapped in hard water deposits and will not bleach out. The pumice stick will remove the deposits, and the stain along with it, WITHOUT scratching the porcelain.
Thank you!:)
Thank you for the great content. I use a pumice stone to clean the stubborn water stains in our shower, sink, and toilet. You can get them with a handle on amazon and they work great, without damaging the porcelain. :-)
I got one of those and it does wonders!:)
Try charcoal for the sink. I have not tried it myself but I heard it works wonders !
Oh cool, I’ll have to try that!:) I’ve never heard of using charcoal to clean before!
Great vlog, have you been inspired by fly Lady? She has a similar routine
Have you tried to use pumice stone the toilet ring? It may help :)
Oh no I haven’t, but I totally will have to try that! Thank you! 💕
For your sink Hilary from Old World Home uses barkeepers friend she had a sink like yours
I’ve been recommended barkeepers friend so many times, I think I should try it because it must be good!:)
I know your video was posted awhile ago, so i dont know if yiu found a solution but on the toilet stains, the one thing I've found works so amazingly well and I don't know why, but the Mrs. Meyers toilet cleaner just works so incredibly well to remove stains. I still will bleach my toilet here and there, but that toilet cleaner is amazing.
Thank you so much for the tip. ❤️oh, I haven’t tried much of the Mrs. Meyers cleaning products. I might have to give them a try:)
Vinegar and baking soda is great for everything
Great tip!:) thank you for the reminder!:) ❤️
Sometimes with stains in the toilet you may have to use a pumice stone (Those stones that you use for ruff heals) and rubber gloves I want to scrub it out your daily routine of keeping it clean will keep it that way. I really like your videos
Awe, thanks so much. I got one of those stones and they are amazing!
Use soda on the toilet! The fizziest, hardest soda you can find. Saved me!
Great to know! Thank you!:)
Love this!!! what do you use to wipe down your cupboard? just water?
I usually just use water and some dish soap. :)
okay, so its not as natural but try the powder kind of "bar keepers friend'' and scrub brush, you will NEVER go back :)
Oh, good to know! I’ve had it recommended to me several times now so i think I need to try it!:)
Bar Keepers Friend (powder) is nothing short of a miracle cleaning powder. It cleans like nobodies business.
Little things do matter.
Indeed:)
Try Scrub Daddy cleaning paste from amazon (comes with a Scrub Mommy pad). I saw this product on Aurikaterina’s YT channel (she is from Finland and has videos and TikTok’s where she gets a kick out of cleaning FILTHY homes lol. I bought it and it’s amazing. Just found your channel and am really enjoying it!❤️
Thank you so much for the tip! ❤️I will have to try it!:)
I loved this video. Super motivating! I have a farm sink just like yours and I LOVE branch basics oxygen boost for cleaning it. It totally cleans as well as bleach does and is completely non toxic. I actually have a discount code for 10% off a starter kit - “raisingnobles” lol! I totally didn’t come here to advertise my code 🤣 I just found you and I had to mention it 💛💛
What! Oh thank you so much! I super appreciate that! Wow, something that works as good as bleach without the toxins! I totally have to try it out, thank you so much!❤️
Pumus stone helps remove hard water
I just got one and have been so impressed with it! :)
Bon ami is great for scouring. I also love Branch Basics. It comes in a concentrate that you can water down to different strengths based on cleaning needs. It works very well but is also gentle enough to wash your babies with. They have a powdered oxygen booster that is great for scouring and also for getting stains out of clothes. It has saved lots of toddler clothes from fruit juice stains
This is so helpful! Thank you❤️
Why not use a robot to clean the floor? It would save so much time. I recommend the shark brand. We have three robots for sweeping and so far I like the shark best. Make sure you buy the kind that dumps the trash by itself.
I wonder if a product called Wink would help with the toilet. It takes off iron stains.
Thank you for the idea:)
Did you say you had other children or just the one? Just wondering if they clean their own spaces? It's so great to have a routine thanks for sharing.
Hm, at the time that I filmed this video I think I only had one, now I have three. :) I do have my four year old in charge of cleaning her and her sisters room:)
Have you tried using Kangen water for cleaning?! :)
No I haven’t. I’ll have to look into that:)
Put a vitamin c tablet in the toilet and let it soak while you are cleaning the rest of the bathroom and it should come out.
That’s a cool tip!
Try soaking the toilet in coke for a couple of hours/over night. Works for us, as coke is super aggressive (which is probably why you shouldn’t be drinking coke)
That is super cool! I will have to try that! Wow, yes, good point. I don’t drink soda but that is a great reason why not to drink it! 😂
My problem is that I want to do one load a day, but I have jeans I have darks, I have lights, etc. so how do you do one load a day?
Great question. Some days I don’t have enough for a load, so I will begin to separate what I have into darks, lights, and whites. As I get each pile big enough to run, I will run it according to those colors. Usually this results in me doing an extra load on Saturday for my whites, but it really works quite well and I usually never have more then a load or two to run. :)
Lime Away is the only thing that removes those stains from my toilet
Thanks for the tip:)
How do you keep your sheets white?
I used to do much more, now I just bleach them frequently:)
can you write a book about this?
You are very kind:) i do like to write:)
CLR cleaner for toilet
Thank you!❤️
Lime Away from the dollar tree will remove those toilet stains!
Oh, thank you!:) ❤️
And also throw any asthmatics in the vicinity into a full-blown attack!
A pumice stone for getting that stain out of the toilet.
Thank you. I actually got one and am super impressed!
@@BecauseitMatters
Yeah☺️ just be sure to wear gloves! 😂Ew!!
I don't understand how people can do one load of laundry a day? What the heck are y'all washing? 😅 And a full dishwasher too? I have two under two but I definitely don't have enough to run the washing machine/dishwasher every day
Haha! I ask myself these questions quite often! 😂😂 I am constantly washing blankets and such due to spit up from my baby, and towels and rugs probably more often then totally necessary simply because I really like when they look fresh:)
As for the dishes, I cook everything, every meal from scratch so it just makes a lot. 😫
I know this video is like six months old but I just wanted to share that Coca Cola left overnight helps with toilet stains and hard water build up.
Oh thank you so much!:)
