A PRODUCTIVE DAY + SORT OUT! Laundry, Unpack, Meals, Cleaning + Reuniting | Get it all done with me

[@giuliaddd]

Emily, people probably enjoy more of you doing the laundry/unpacking rather than the actual going on holiday because you inspire them (me included) to do stuff themselves😃 Seriously,though, seeing you cleaning etc is oddly satisfying and gives me so much motivation to do the same in my house , and as someone who leaves the unpacking process for 1h away road trip for several days after said trip I think is somewhat of a progress🤣 love your videos - mom of a two year old expecting my second child❤️

[@gracewaterlilly8023]

Awww seeing you guys reunite with Kiki warmed my heart

[@lluviagarcia3529]

Omg Kiki 😭 I cried lol it was so emotional to watch She missed her brothers but I think she missed her mom the most 😂 She kept going back to you lol she’s so sweet So glad you guys are all settled back home 💕

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

I find packing and unpacking equally challenging. Haha it’s like a game of Tetris. Thank you so much for showing us the unpacking process you go through. I’m up to my eyeballs with laundry myself. So this was a joy and a comfort to watch.

[@alishameadows127]

I absolutely loved the part of the video of you being reunited with Kiki 🥰 she is just gorgeous.

[@Claire-mp7tp]

Aw, seeing you all reunited with Kiki really warmed my heart!❤️❤️

[@dianadunne-brown9356]

Those Flip and Fold gadgets are AMAZING!! When everything is the same size, it's so much easier to put everything away! And if the kids want to help, it's even better!

[@kerryharding5587]

Such a brilliant idea to get the boys involved in with chores. Good on them, they really got into the mountain of folding. It’s great for them and their future flat mates or partners and just themselves really. Such good boys. 🌟🕊💕

[@3as1]

The moment she jumped you all up I had to cry. I didn't expect it .

[@laviniajohnson9210]

The clothes folder is a real game changer, I bought one about 15 years ago. Eveything is so organised and tidy, bit like a shop.....The design is the same which proves it works.

[@sarahnel8538]

Love how you are instilling 'life' skills in your boys Emily.. Wee Kiki was so cute welcoming you all home again..Platter looked amazing x

[@vallapink]

Bautiful to see the love from Kiki

[@louiseshaw6317]

Love Caleb using the folding gadget ❤️ He was adjusting items as he was going and trying all different items…. Nice work 👍🏻

[@libbyroberts1394]

Great video! It’s the best isn’t it when dogs greet after you’ve been away! So sweet 🥰

[@alisonford5070]

It's so lovely to be reunited with your pets when you come back home - it's like the family is complete again. I do try and be as organised as you are - usually go all out on the first day back home, but there's always bits and pieces floating about for days afterwards! Glad you and your lovely family had a good time away. x

[@cameronanna2004]

I always do our unpacking and laundry on the first day back. Sooner the better 😁

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I never go on holiday, but if I did I’d put it all away straight away. I love that the boys helped with folding their clothes. Kiki’s reaction when she saw you all was lovely. x The sweets tray is brill. Great idea.

[@kirstyosika7815]

39 weeks pregnant here and I cried at you reuniting with KiKi ❤️

[@kat49100]

I definitely unpack and do laundry straight away when I get back. I can't relax otherwise! I love the satisfaction once its all done.

[@suleman3640]

I havent even completely watched the video but commenting here to say that replaying kikis reaction when you all went to pick her up....im bawling my eyes off. Such a cute dog😫😫😫✌

[@suemills9045]

I unpack I also have case for dirty stuff so while that’s washing I put the other stuff away . If our flights are late in day going I put fresh bedding on ready for our return .

[@clarejohnsongraham5150]

The platter 👍👍👍👍

[@laurak.7549]

I definately do the unpacking and laundry right-away when I get back home. Because I have cleaned up the whole house before the vacation I want to keep it clean and organized after it as-well so putting everyhting back to where it belongs as fast as possible is important to me. I always have on holiday multiple laundry bags - one for white, one for black, one for red and one for other colors. At home I have similar way four different laundry baskets in our laundry cabinet. In case we have lot of laundry from holiday (especially after longer trips) and I need to do multiple loads of one color then I like to divide the color to smaller loads based on does the clothes go to tubledryer or not - it makes it much easier to push whole load to tubledryer at the same time than starting to think what to put there and what not. Also our tubledryer is usually slower than our laundry mashine so while first load is in tumble dryer I can hang second load on drying rack and when the third load is ready to go to tuble dryer that can be emptied. Unfortunately sound of our washing machine does not work so it does not notify me when it is done so in order me to keep up with the schedule I put alarms to my phone. When packing for holiday I use packing cubes for our clothes and differently sized bags for our shoes, cosmetics, games, books and electronics and same way when coming back home those are easy to empty and put everything to its own place. So I can for exemple take activity bag with me and put all the books from it to the bookshelf and all the games to game cabinet and I do not have to carry one by one each item. I also have spesific drawer only for sunglasses, suncreams and after sun lotions and another for travel sized first aid things, shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, thoot pastes, traveling related medicine, spare thootbrushes, deodorants, masks, sanitizing whipes, hand sanitizers and zip lock bags. Those two drawers make it super easy to both pack for holiday and unpack after it. Thank you Emily for a nice relaxing but still motivating video! I also must say that seeing you managing all the cooking in your temporarily kitchen makes me much more relaxed about our kitchen renevation which will start soon. Greetings from Finland!

[@karenlavery4463]

Hi I’m a get it all done person ,when we went to Egypt there was a laundry service so I came home with very few dirty clothes but usually I empty cases wash straight away.glad you had a great holiday xx 🇬🇧

[@julierutter4612]

Awwwww😢being re-united with Kiki what a lovely homecoming Emily you really are Superwomen i think you deserve another holiday hehe The platter is lovely - yummy!

[@kathywilson1001]

Long life milk and oven bread are handy to get and keep in the cupboard for whenever you come home from holiday or just a weekend away. Remember that cheese freezes and casseroles etc can be brought out of the freezer for that first meal homex

[@martaka5008]

I am the kind of person that unpacks and does laundry as soon as I come back home, even when I came back from hospital after my c section and I was exausted I just had to…

[@sa7246]

Emily that’s me, soon as I get back from holiday, I unpack and do laundry 👍

[@emyadel6058]

Oh ! i cried when i saw the part when you met kiki 🥰 so cute & lovely dog ❤

[@shannonmagee6618]

I like getting the washing on, as soon as I get back off holiday. My husband is the kind that would leave it in the suitcase for weeks!

[@sunyasuny2694]

Always helpful videos thank you Emily.❤❤❤💗💗💗💙💙💚💚🤎💜💜💙💚

[@3as1]

We always do laundry on vacation, probably because we lobe the laundromat. They are huge and come with Detergent as well and then we toss them in the drier also. we enjoy the holiday smell of laundry.

Hi Emily. I am like you, unpack, laundry and tidy up.. just can't have suitcases and bags lying around!! 😣. Your shirt folding goodie is so cool. Love your platters Emily 🍓🥨🍪🍬 it looks so delicious 😋. Really enjoyed watching your reunion with Kiki.. very precious. Have a lovely day. 💚

[@deemarie8647]

I am definitely an unpack and wash clothes on the day we arrive home, but the suitcases hang around because it’s my husband’s job to put them in the loft! Love the folder!

[@yeseniatorres3132]

I'm with you, we arrive and get all the laundry done and put away. I go grocery shopping. Before we leave I clean the house and pay bills. I feel it takes a day for my brain to snap back to reality.

[@belindacrump8567]

Ok I have been home from my holiday for 3 days now. My bag is still shoved in the corner of my room waiting to be unpacked, this just gave me the motivation I needed to do it, thanks 😂 by the time I have unpacked everyone else’s bags and done all their washing I can’t be bothered doing my own.

[@leahbyrne4852]

Love this video ! I’m so glad I’m not to knit mum Who dose a good ship in holiday ! Also I have been know to put the washing machine on at mine 3 am when k get home 🏠! Also Kiki was so sweet welcoming you home: you can’t beat your fur ba Babied cuddles xxx

Even if I wash my clothes on holidays I always wash everything when I get home. Maybe I have ocd??? Oh you have a something new for the kids to play with haha mine was the lint machine. My boys kept arguing over. But you never found any lint balls on clothes for awhile before the kids got over playing with it😂 that is such a cool Easter 🐣 platter. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter 😀💙

[@clairehall704]

Why bother washing them on holiday then? 🤔

@@clairehall704 just in case we need them. Especially with kids you need back up. I don’t wash all the clothes only what we may need.

Hi emily! I love the video. I'm glad you have such a wonderful holiday. I think I might get one of those folding boards for my nine year old. The platter looks delicious. You and the kids did a great job.

Oh my gosh Kiki is one loved pooch ❤️ actually emotional watching how happy she was and the boys when they saw her 😫 so much love there! Shocked some one thought you would leave her in a crate for a week 🙈 oh I am a slow unpacker lol I do the exact same thing with my clothes in the airing cupboard it makes like so much easier and less ironing! The platter is so cute! It wouldn’t make it out of our house 😂 Thanks for a fab video as always xxx

[@SAHMLIFEWITHBECKY]

wow Emily you are amazing you are so inspiring you tackle so much in a day I really stuggle some times with things especially laundry so I always enjoy watching content like this to soak up some much needed motivation!

[@lianwallington932]

So lovely when you were reunited with Kiki! Love the Easter platter 🤤 You're very good for getting all that done, I'd like to think I would but in reality I'd forget what I was doing after putting the first wash load in and probably remember when I'm in bed trying to get to sleep! 😯😅

[@nikiisalucyfan]

Hi Emily..Vacation is over & Back to Reality..I love Kiki’s enthusiasm when you went to pick her up..Super Excited♥️🐶 When we return from vacation, I like to get organized immediately with the unpacking, laundry & shopping..It makes my life easier.Any updates on the house? 😎♥️

I also don't like do laundry on vacation if I don't have to... and I unpack soon I get home, put it away and move on...🤗🤗😀

I reccomend doing longer washes than 59 min, specially towels + tea towels at they should go 60+ degrees!

Iam the sort of person if we go on holiday coming back l would do the Landry and pack away straight away on the day.

[@johannagallagher5855]

Great video x☀️

[@Casper7762]

Emily, watching you do all of this… I now know why when I am on vacation I find a laundromat on the last day of our stay and take everything to the laundromat and wash everything. Then, I fold it all and pack it all back into the suitcases. We also bring an extra suitcase for each of the kids and an extra suitcase for each of us (we normally drive and take our small trailer) and any shopping I do for the kids then also gets tried on and washed. I normally do my other half’s clothes and my clothes first then my other half to get all the kids clothes and I start them so as our clothes go into the dryer he lids the kids clothes and then once everything is packed up we go back and drop it all off at the Apartment we rent and then I load all the household stuff and go back and wash it all and put everything back. Even though the apartment (Flat) has a washer and dryer we then wash all the bedding and get it dry that was left on for the night and also all the towels and get it all done within 30 minutes before leaving. Then, the owner has housekeeping come in and with us everything is already clean and trash taken out. Normally they come in and find the dryer running with bath towels, the dishwasher running and a list of everything that has been done and what needs to be done.
