The lovely Stephanie from Fife Free Cleaning recommended your channel today, and wow, I can see why. I can't believe the courage you have to put your journey on video for the world to see, but it's already helping me and I'm only halfway through a video. I've struggled with depression my entire adult life and unreasonable expectations fueled by perfectly curated and edited and photoshopped media have NOT helped. It's good for my soul to see some reality. So thank you for your bravery. And for what it's worth, based on how many times I could see the kids trying to "help" you clean, I think you must be doing a great job. ❤
Okay! I was SO confused girl! I was like, that’s not a one month old!! 😅😅 Realized your intro was 9 months ago! That makes so much more sense! Also - this is my reality too!!
Oh my gosh lol I probably need to update that! I posted that and then got scared again and didn't make any actual content. I'm really tryin to stay consistent right now though!! But yeah he got big from my fist video to the next! 😂😂
You really are the American Remi Clog. And she is fabulously real. I'm excited to see your success! And, since you asked, I love the voice-over videos the most since I put on videos as background noise while I do my own cleaning.
One more thought.... Bill Gates said I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it. So if you're lazy and find the easiest way to get it done, welcome to the Sisterhood!😊
I just stumbled across this video today and your channel. First off, I just want to give you a hug. (I'm not weird-I promise lol). But more so because this in a way reminds me of our first home as a family of three. I've learned the clutter gives me overwhelming anxiety now and sometimes takes me back to that time. My house is definitely not the cleanest by any means (we are a family of 5 now and have pets) and we still have clutter, but remember to give yourself grace. Post partum, depression, and just being a momma (especially to two littles so close in age) can be absolutely draining. Just know you are doing a great job! Little things add up. I'm excited to see where this channel takes you. You're not alone and those that are your people won't judge, or will help you lessen the load a bit! Keep going friend!
Perfection is not truly attainable. I’m not sure if you noticed what those two were really doing. They were following you and trying with whatever capacity they have right now to follow your example. They likely won’t remember the drill brush or the look you get when they mess up something you just cleaned. What they will subconsciously remember is mommy paid attention to us, mommy didn’t shoo us away, Mommy is working hard. They are going to remember you as a good mother. Keep going, keep pushing and doing your best. We all love you
Lol - Oh my goodness, when your little girl dumped the whole bin of toys out immediately after you had just cleaned that space, I felt that in my core. Isn't that the way of things? With two little ones, it feels like we clean one room, and when we move on to the next room, they destroy the first room again. I love the honesty of your channel. This is far more realistic than the perfect/aesthetic homes I see on here. I was told when I was 15 that I couldn't have children, so when I was 29 and found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, I thought it was a miracle and couldn't happen again. Then 8 months after I had her I was pregnant again, and we realized that we might want to figure out what causes that and maybe prevent it for a bit lol. Six years later we had daughter number 3. So, I know how it feels to have two little ones very close in age. I love the perspective you gave about what you signed up for in life and how those are your responsibility. I've never thought about it like that. I'm a little late to your channel, so I'm watching, liking, and commenting my way to you latest video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing what it's really like to take care of little kids & a house! I appreciate your honesty. 😊 I think you're doing a great job! Your kids seem happy and healthy and energetic. And your house is neater than mine was when my kids were that age! Lol And big hugs on the postpartum depression. 😢 Depression makes functioning so much harder. I hope it goes away soon. ❤ Best wishes to you! ❤️ ps, I don't know if you've ever watched Remi Clog's channel, but you might want to check it out. She's authentic and encouraging. 😊
Of course! It is truly just my personality to be overly honest 😅 I love Remi Clog and she is such an inspiration to me! Thank you so much for watching my video and supporting me during a hard time in my life. 💕💕
I watch Dana K White for her 5-step decluttering steps. She is a hoot, has ADHD, and has a great advice and techniques for dealing with "stuff". Your channel was recommended to me and I can't wait to see it grow.
Great video Rosie!! Keep up all the great work! I think it is genius to use your drill brush. Im all for making things more convenient and time saving. I have four kids and they're not as close in age and they range from 13yrs-22 months and our rooms still get chaotic 😂. Especially my closet it is always a hot mess 😅. Remember do what you can every single day even if its one room at a time.
Girl. Don’t apologize for using the drill brush. If it works & makes you happy then do it! As long as it works & helps you 💁🏼♀️ Also you apologized in another video about the way you cleaned & the way you like cleaning. Don’t. If the way you clean is what works for you then do it like that. As long as it helps you it doesn’t matter if you put things in a pile first, use a grabber or a drill etc.
Your daughter wants to be a little helper. She's so cute! I don't know how you get anything done with two little ones. You're very patient and a good mother. Progress not perfection.
@@3TXSisters she is always following me and trying to help. It takes a lot longer to get things done but I know she’s a little sponge at this age so i try my hardest to help her help me 🥰
I had post partum depression after my first, he’s now almost 11. I also had two kids within 22 months. It’s a crazy stage in life! Keep going and remember that even if you’re only cleaning for yourself you’re 100% worth it!!
I also had 2 of my children close together. I felt like you when they were small. One thing I would recommend is put all toys in another room out of their reach. Only give them a few at a time. They mostly like to dump them not really play with them. In no time they will be bigger. And my children have always been very close to each other!
thank you so much for your suggestion! :) The hard part is that my family lives in a very small apartment and so we all share a bedroom and the toys are in the living room. But I have been decluttering a lot recently and plan to try a toy rotation which will make it so they only have a few toys out at once. 😊
They are such little cuties. In the moment it can be frustrating but when I watch the video back I also see them trying so hard to help. It makes me see my frustrations differently!
Don’t beat yourself up mama! Once you get things in order, and get your decluttering done, I always find it best to have daily chores. A load of laundry, dishes, picking up. But then I pick one thing extra to accomplish one extra thing a day. If that makes sense. And I know it doesn’t work for everyone. But just a suggestion. ❤❤
