Small home cleaning motivation! Clean with me | Tidy home motivation

[@Theimperfecthomemaker]

I agree about cleaning the house before bed nothing feels better than waking up to a clean home!

[@reallifewithrobbie5957]

Our leftovers never go to waste. We portion them out and freeze them. Three days a week we eat leftovers which is money saved because I don’t have to buy groceries for those days. We also eat them for lunches. Also when I have to be out of town my husband has healthy meals to eat. When our kids moved out I continued to cook for 4 so we would have leftovers. It really does save us money as it motivates us to eat at home and not eat out as much. Also with my health issues sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking so leftovers allow me a night off and I can save the meal I would have cooked for another time.

[@sabrinamariesayre]

Some leftovers taste better the next day, especially spaghetti!

[@GodsGurl24]

I adore your modest home. We downsized last year from over 3,000 sq ft to 1,900 and we absolutely love it. It takes me no time at all to clean and tidy so we can spend more time as a family, do the things we love, and serve others. I went through a big health journey this past year which prompted our move. God used that trial to put things into perspective. The big house and having more stuff doesn’t matter. It is nice temporarily, but doesn’t last and doesn’t satisfy. The discontentment just flows back. The grass is never as green as we think it is on the other side, just a different shade of brown! Contentment is learning to appreciate and be grateful for where God has us now. Thanks for sharing your world with us, Karrie. It’s a joy to watch you and your sweet family. Blessings! ❤

[@victoriaoconnor3688]

Amen. I appreciated this comment. Needed that reminder to be content❤ God bless you dear😊

[@lindseyslifeNstyle]

My daughter has beddys bedding for the past couple years now and we love it. Great quality in my opinion 😊

[@michelearvizu5303]

I love the way your house is coming along. Clean and simple. Do Not Paint The Door!!!! It adds character ❤

[@samanthaslaughter8633]

I love the barn door the brown to me it is just the richness in color and it compliments and plays well off the other colors In the kitchen and dinning room

[@jkp62]

I am all about doing a light cleaning of the house before bed, especially the kitchen! Then a warm shower and bed. Waking up to a clean and fresh smelling home starts my day right! All I have to do is drink water, exercise, shower, dress for the day and have coffee before anyone else gets up is my idea of self care! We use our leftovers for our work lunches, we purposely make enough of each dinner so we each have a lunch the next day. I make my bed every morning so no dust or dog hair gets on the sheets (I really dislike the feeling of grit or dog hair on my sheets when I get into bed). A squeegee to take most of the water off the tile walls and glass door after each use can also minimize the need to clean those as often because it take any soap splatter and hard water. I make my own natural cleaner: get a gallon jar with either a screw lid or rubber seal lid (old fashioned hook lid), as you use lemons or oranges, put the peels in the jar and top them with vinegar (apple cider or white, your smell preference), once it’s full, let the peels soak in the vinegar for about 2 weeks, then pour off the liquid using cheese cloth or fine mesh strainer into another sealable jar, discard the peels and start over. You can put some of the citrus cleaner in a small, glass spray bottle for surface cleaning; add some washing soda or powder detergent (like clean and free Tide) to do a deeper cleaning or for floors. I will freeze the peels until I have a full jar’s worth before soaking them in vinegar and I also use the cleaning vinegar (6% you get on Amazon or Grove or Thrive); I usually have 1-2 gallon jars soaking so I always have cleaner ready to use. And yes, we go through a lot of citrus fruit in our house so the peels do accumulate quickly.

[@joyallen7817]

Hi Karrie!!! In my opinion......yes! do paint the barn door! Another thing on your forever to do list is finish off the cabinet space by the glass door for more storage space for your mops or vacuums maybe?

[@barbarasmith4545]

I love the barn door. It looks great in your house.

[@leitalarson4482]

I would leave the barn door it looks great with your new style it adds character!

[@elainedomalewski4954]

I think the barn door should stay the same,it matches well with your table and chairs.😊

[@nicholes5818]

We love left overs in this house. Nothing like left over spaghetti or chili lol love the video

[@jory6795]

Beddys is very good quality. I have 4 of them on my kids beds, and I love how tidy it keeps their beds. The material used is nice and the sewing is sturdy. Very easy to make the beds. I don’t wash every week, more like once a month 😬. We’ve had them 2 years and they still look great.

[@bestrodmom1]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the island looks. I think that it is a perfect color and compliments the barn door. I was sad to see the accent wall go, BUT, i think it looks GREAT with how everything is coming together.

[@cindythompson3960]

I love waking up to a clean house 🏠 have a blessed week friend 💕 ❤️ 💖

[@mikaelabowen6447]

I bought a Beddy’s for my king size bed. We had it for about two years. We had a navy blue one. I washed it every one to two weeks and it did fade some. But over all it was pretty good. It was really comfortable. It was really nice when you have toddlers and small babies because they were always on the bed and being able to zip the bedding up kept the bed tidy and made when they were jumping and climbing all over my bed.

[@guerra_1355]

Leave the barn door alone 😊 it’s beautiful and matches the table ❤ I love the wall color and it looks better w/o that tall wall you had built ♥️♥️

[@jarhead5974]

Murphy's Oil is what I use. It can be used on Tile, Laminate and, of course wood.

[@kellymclellan9135]

Love the barn door as it is 😊

[@Strudle23]

Squeeze a lemon into the vinegar. Will also help with the cleaning x

[@kimberlyshipp7407]

We cook to have leftovers so we don't have to cook daily since we both work and there is no time to cook. I'm so glad both of us like leftovers.

[@leem200]

I love the barn door the way it is. It pops your wood out and bring it to that wall, blending it together. Would look good painted too though.

[@annae.1289]

I've just stumbled upon your video and I had the same issues with the scent of vinegar and essential oils...now I use citric acid instead. No smell at all, cleans perfectly ❤️

[@kaylamcfetridge1548]

Scentsy cleaners are wonderful to use and are safe for kids and pets!

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

Stunning at about 8:30! Moving a 70-pound piece of furniture in bare feet is just that--and she was being a girl! Karrie has strength in everything she does!❤❤

[@cherishthewayyousparkle8046]

All the cleaning motivation! That was a good camera angle and def captured all your recent projects. It's all coming together so well. We vote not painting the barn door lol

[@pathilbun420]

Barn door looks good against the light walls. 😃

[@jayoleary8655]

The house looks beautiful 😊

[@lenaklassen2567]

Hey karrie was gona mention yesterday yet but forgot I do have the beddings for my boy's bunk beds and they have been a game changer. I've had them now for about 4 years and I wash them about twice a month and they are still holding up great and they are very easy to put on and take off. Definitely worth it in my opinion

[@Clevast]

A small house is easier to clean but the challenge is how to maintain is clean and a safe place to live. Nice video! 🙂

[@cherylmiller7208]

Hey Karrie! I wouldn't paint the barn door. You have so many things painted and I think the barn door adds warmth by your dining room table. That being said.... Crystal Tara has her 4 children with Betty's bedding and she loves it. Check her out! Have you ever thought of leaving the rug out of the living room for a change? The room looks so much larger! Just a suggestion! Oh! Your lamps in your bedroom, why do they wobble like that? Don't they have some type of bolt at the top? One more thing.....try putting some lemon juice or Lemon oil in your vinegar water. Makes it smell so fresh! I promise no more suggestions! Great video, Karrie! 😂🤣😂❤️

[@tammyrouse7422]

we are just the opposite on leftovers. we love them and probably eat about 80% of them. great video thanks

[@bettyloumilstead7341]

Hi Karrie! Cambria from Living with Cambria here on YT has beddys for her kids. You might want to check with her about them. Also, I vote no on painting the barn door. It ties in so nicely with the trim on the kitchen window.

[@flawed_perfectionist]

I just came across your feed earlier this week and have been binging ever since! You are so real and so motivating! I am a working mom of 4 with 4 dogs (why did I do this to myself?!) and you definitely helped me tackle my cleaning this week! Amy Darley is another KZbinr that I watch and she has had the same set of Beddys Bedding for her kids for like 4-5 years and she washes them bi-weekly. I have used many things she has recommended and have yet to be disappointed!

[@kaydublin5164]

My parents were born in 32 & 36, they were dirt poor, growing up with 6 ppl in our home, leftovers were rarely thrown away, and even today my hubby and I eat leftovers all the time, some things are better the second time around, I just think it’s how and when you were raised. 😊

[@lynettemorse2212]

Yes should paint it the same as your kitchen chairs love your channels watching from Australia

[@hannahpowell6847]

Vinegar is not good for floors anyway. The acidity breaks down grout in tiles and the protective coatings tiles and many other types of floors have. It can also erode certain types of stone. So just stick to using cleaners meant for what you are cleaning. Tide can do this to floors too. Floor cleaner for floors, laundry soap for laundry. Use pine sol or dawn for floors.

[@naturesweety]

You can soak orange and lemon peels in vinegar for 2 weeks. The oils from the citrus takes over the vinegar smell and is perfect for cleaning.

[@jessfavia8986]

Love 💕 the barn door the way it is. I think it compliments the other side of the house when you look at it from the front entrance or back entrance. You have the dark from the living room then the dark barn doors. But overall, the house looks fantastic! Great job 👏 in what you do. I’m sure your family is proud of your accomplishments. 😊

[@ginahernandez3219]

Thanks for sharing your motivation, Karrie ❤

[@BengeFamily98]

Are you thinking of painting the barn door a dark color, or light? I think it would be good either way. The wood is really pretty, but the direction you're leaning towards, painting it would look really nice!

[@jen8491]

I love leftovers. I don't cook so my husband does all the cooking and meal prep on Mondays. Its a life saver for me. I know the vinegar smell is a lot to take but you do get used to it. It cleans my floors so good. Great video Karrie ❤

[@brianaessak8989]

Living with Cambria has the beddies for her 3 kids and has had them for a while and says they're great and she cleans them frequently

[@terrirouleau4758]

Also Hannah’s Happy Home had them for her 2 boys.

[@lorrainehoward2722]

Great cleaning motivation Karrie. I love how Zoey loves licks the pots and pans in the dishwasher. Great job! It looked great when you got through.

[@RoseyPosie17]

A great all around soap for moping, washing hands, etc is Castile soap. You can find them with scents or without. You might like it!

[@debbiejansen555]

Zoey is such a diva! I just love her! 💖😁

[@michelleklein3713]

I like most leftovers lol😊 but I try to portion them out for the freezer while I’m fixing the meal. The part I find most annoying is cleaning up so many things after I eat when I want to relax. Having fully portioned out meals set aside in advance saves me that task and I know I have food to take to work later in the week.

[@Buckeboy]

Girl, I just love you. I’ve been watching you for awhile and you’ve become my all time favorite KZbinr! I love your inspiration and motivation. You are my first video of the day (even repeats), so Thank you from the bottom of my heart for just being you. I have even been putting mascara on daily and if it weren’t for your open honesty I would probably still be feeling pretty blah about myself, but I don’t anymore. My lashes are light so you can’t see them and 60 seconds makes me feel 100 times better. Sending you loads of love from Ohio! April (Not whoever the boys changed my profile to this time)🤦🏼‍♀️

[@dianawalter1446]

Jamie’s journey loves them she just got them for her new home ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kristieyoung242]

Hello 👋🏾 I personally love the barn door that color it matches your kitchen and dinning table

[@barbgalligan4885]

Good video. When my kids were still home Wednesday was leftover night. I pulled them out and we fixed plates out of them. Any thing left got dumped. Of course use your judgment if its to old or luke soup cooked the day before I didn't dump. We ate that for lunch etc. Now irs just me and hubs. I bought some divided plates with lids and make them with the left overs to heat and eat. Just an idea.

[@victoriaoconnor3688]

The barn door gives a nice touch of accented wood!

[@chrismckee9101]

I'm binge rewatching your videos today for motivation. I just can't get moving. The holiday on Monday has thrown me all off lol! OK I'm gonna say I think you should paint your sliding barn door. Were you thinking of painting it the same color as your island? I like the barn door, but painting it out would give it a whole upscale vibe. I'm totally curious to see what you do. And thanks for the company today! 😊👍😊

[@dawnpeitzman5335]

Hi Karrie! Love your videos! Do NOT paint the barn door. I love it as is. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@pennymain1648]

Enjoyed the video I love your door the way it is but it’s your home and you have to be happy ❤ I love how your home is looking I do miss your China cabinet but also love all the storage you have now . And looks so open and big without it ❤

[@Rainraingoaway13]

You should get a rug for the living room! Something that can leave vacuum lines ❤

[@reneewolf1738]

Amy Darley here on KZbin had Beddies for her kids for over 4 years and washed them all the time. I haven’t had them but hers looked great year over year and they are definitely machine washable.

[@josephinegiuffrida2802]

Always like the smell of a deep clean room Look up reversible ceiling fans it look like a light fixture but when you hit a button the fan comes out and it’s great

[@lynseysemler]

If I were you no lie, I would just reach out to beddies and ask them if you could try them out and talk about them on your channel. You have enough subscribers they would probably hook you up!!! Also, I love the current color of the barn door. I’d leave it as is 😊

[@cherylnewton7407]

Yalls home is so inviting. I am on the fence about barn doors. I kinda like lighter stains. But you do what makes you happy. On the bedding I know Amy Darley Joanna Thornton has theses for their children.

[@davidetterogers7087]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks for the motivation 😊

[@30klp]

Absolutely have to have the house clean before bed. Waking up to a clean house makes my day start off so much better :). Btw I love your ‘cleaning supervisor’ on the back of the couch LOL

[@caracampbell1715]

I have BEDDY’S for my son. They wash beautifully, go on pretty easily and look great. Highly recommend! I LOVE leftovers! I wish I had them every day! Lol

[@reneemckinnon4425]

We use metho on our floors and cleans beautifully, ps no to the barn door it's looks beautiful

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I've never been a fan of leftovers either but I will eat it based on what it is. You should send Crystal Tara a message about the bedding. She has them so can give you a lot of info about them.

[@ashleyrobinson157]

Awesome video! I have tried non-scented cleaners and have added just a few drops of vanilla (for baking) to it and it worked wonders. I also do that with paint because I hate how paint smells and it definitely helped with that too. Your house is gorgeous, I watch both of your channels. I love the barn door how it is but I am also a fan of change. Have a great day!!

[@vanessa0915]

I would leave the barn door as is, it ties all the wood elements you have together.

[@genevievedurham567]

Hey, I’ve been watching you since you were budget Pam and y’all lived in Georgia so several years now! But to your question about the barn door I think you should leave it would since you have that wood around your kitchen window and your mantle I think it just ties it all together! I don’t comment often but I do love interior design that has drawn me watching you more and more and can’t wait for a new video to come up! You’re doing a great job and you have great taste! Love you girl!❤️

[@kerrispahn3813]

Keep the color of barn door girlie ya need contrast in your home. Thank you for sharing! 👏👍

[@kima260]

Hi Karrie, I like the barn door the way it is, it ties in with the island counter top. But ultimately your call, you have great taste, so I’m sure whatever you decide will look great too.😉🏡 Watching from Michigan…Kim

[@nannapatty110]

I have always emptied my dishwasher as soon as its done. And put dishes in as they get dirty so there's never dishes in the sink. And when i cook i clean up as i go. So when we're finished eating all that's left to clean up is what we eat out of. Then i run the dishwasher and empty in the morning and start over. I no the vinegar does not smell very good but you could try lemon essential oil or orange. And the vinegar is a disinfectant also not just a good cleaner.

[@heatherfeather7647]

Zoey just laying on the back of the couch chilling! 😂❤🐶

[@hollyanderson7057]

I would leave the barn as is.. I love the way it looks

[@deecasey6893]

We give our left overs to our dogs and I love your barn door as is.

[@rebeccarojas3221]

No don't change the farm door color, love it

[@laracroft1063]

We like leftovers over here, we don’t throw anything away, we love the food we cook. Actually we think about the leftovers all night and/or throughout the day hoping we’d be the one to get them, because there’s never enough for more than two servings😅

[@debbiejansen555]

I love how you're taking care of yourself, losing weight and working out!! You seem so much happier and in charge of your life! You are so motivating and bring me so much joy when I watch you!! You deserve the best and I love seeing you so happy!!😀💖💖

[@jodiestafford5820]

We were a family of 5 with 3 being VERY tall boys with “hollow legs”. When they all moved out, we struggled with not making large quantities of food.

[@cleaningwithkarrie2296]

Oh I'm sure that was an adjustment!

[@BengeFamily98]

Hi Karrie! I've been curious about Beddy's also. I watch a few KZbinrs that really like them. CrystalTara, and Lynette Yoder. I think they've both purchased them a few different times, and both have really good reviews of them.🥰

[@maryjoroth5884]

Love leftovers. Saves time,energy & money. Can't go wrong with leftovers.

Your house looks great so clean . If I work on projects my house gets horrid !

[@roseduke8271]

Sweetheart, I just have to say that you look amazing. You're so toned and slim. Your hard work has definitely paid off.on another note, you have quickly become on of my favorite KZbinrs by far! You're so real! I love to see your channels growing. Keep it up. You're absolutely awesome!. P.S. (do people say that anymore? Lol. Give Zoey hugs and kisses on the nose from Springfield, Missouri. XOXO'S

[@angelarobinson5261]

Cleaning with you! Thanks for the motivation!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good work, karrie. Your house is tidy up. Continue on your road on getting the gold play button

[@Butler6684]

No! Don't change the color of your barn door, it's a beautiful contrast to the light colors of the rest of the area. Too much white, gray, etc makes a home look sterile and boring. You do a great job of balancing colors and neutrals and as they say if it aint broke don't fix it. Keep up the great work, you're a very sensible and relatable young woman 😊

[@PaulHLYS]

Great motivation. I love it. Have a great day, Karrie.❤

[@vernahamlinhamlin2883]

On the topic of leftovers- if you get those meal prep containers I promise your family will be more inclined to eat it lol I just prepare them like a TV dinner almost and if you have to throw them in the freezer.

[@kerridockery1870]

I wouldn't paint the barn door, I love it

[@angiegibson3092]

Happy Sunday Karrie

[@dianawalter1446]

I have been using the pink stuff floor cleaner love it pricey but going on month 3 with same bottle use half a cap full for my whole home which has laminate flooring ❤❤❤❤❤

[@beckypage6041]

My my son moved out, I really had to adjust the amount I cooked AND bought 😂 we went from 2 gallons of milk a week to an half a gallon. 6’5, 270 is a lot to feed.😀 Hm?To think I spend more now on groceries for 3 than I did on 4. But we are trying to eat healthier and my son, tends to do a little grocery shopping at good ol’ mom and pop’s place🤣 I told my kids, once they started to enter into adulthood, I might not be able or willing to help you out of debt, but I will always feed you. Probably should had kept that to myself 😂 Have a great day and coming week. Take care.

[@deborafranklin7469]

Hi Karrie. I'm the same way with left overs. Most of the time they will be eaten but other times they go to waste or my grandson feeds them to his cat😊

[@Mimi-qc5hd]

We have leftover dinner the night before compost comes the next day, we eat as much as we can and sometimes have to compost some

[@MilanScherzinger]

Awesome motivation today Hope you have a wonderful week.

[@jenniferrojas9571]

Thank you for sharing. Also, essential oils will grow on you. Maybe try a citrus one like grapefruit or lemon.

[@seeleygirl6178]

I like the barn door like it is.

[@Theimperfecthomemaker]

Great motivating video! I make some of the same cleaning content love your style 😊 my home is also small Also love your other channel thanks for sharing!

[@feliciataylor2627]

We don’t care for certain leftovers. Some my husband will take but most of the time I just give my teenager them to eat but I do try to only cook enough for that evening bc I don’t like throwing food away either.

There’s also a generic beddys. When my boys were younger that’s what I got because I was tried of the bed mess. They were wonderful!!!
