GET THINGS DONE WITH ME //Hacks, Tips, Cleaning, Organization, & More

[@isaymysay]

Hi Delilah, I have a video suggestion (if you want it!) - I am struggling to work out how to do toy rotations and I know you do them for your kiddos. I'd love to see a video on how often you do them, how many toys you put out, how you decide what to put out and what to put away, how you store the toys you've put away, whether you involve the kids or surprise them with the finished result, etc. It would be so helpful! You mentioned not having any videos planned so thought I'd mention it. And as always, great video. Thanks for all your efforts (and honesty!), I love your content.

[@isaymysay]

@@AC-iw5mv Yes but I prefer watching Delilah😅

[@yasmingoodwin9680]

My husband said "Wow she really likes baskets" and I laughed because he has no idea how much Delilah likes baskets 🤣 like mate, I don't even know now how many baskets I've seen her buy from the thrift stores now, I've lost count! 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheTanicqua]

I have to admit... your honesty and realness is so encouraging. I never feel lesser than when I watch your videos. May God continue to use you as you share hope and truth with your viewers.

[@HeisRISEN774]

YES!! That is how I feel, years ago I watched ppl that there’s nothing wrong with but it made me always look at what I didn’t have. So YESS 💯 she makes me feel normal while being awesome.

[@madmarich.]

The vacuuming under the bed shot was SO satisfying 😭

[@Glitter_bug86]

Yes! It made me say wow thats a good vacuum. I need one just like it.

[@jeffreychoi7736]

Im just so glad you were honest with us about how you get things done because sometimes yes it appears youtube moms have it all perfect and as another mom of a young one, it sometimes discourages me a lot and you may think this info you share may seem boring but it was really encouraging to me so thank you.

[@deazarayesanto4830]

I love how real you are about your situation, I've been watching you Channel for 2 years now and you do a wonderful job or sharing your life, encouraging others and staying private. I love to watch your content and hope to see these videos go on for a long time!

[@katharinawinkler8356]

Currently in my first trimester with my second baby and 24/7 nausea keeping me from doing all this stuff i normally do, so on my to do list: my whole flat 😂…watching your video was kinda therapeutic to watch 😄 even if you‘re tired or overwhelmed from time to time: your vids give me so much inspiration, strengh, fun and help to just love the mundane live of motherhood 😘

[@stuckinmopro8533]

When my daughter was little I dressed her in all of the colors that I liked. She then got older and no matter how often I suggested soft pastel items she gravitated towards darker, deeper colors. When her daughter was little the same progression happened to her. (I enjoyed hearing her complain that her daughter wouldn’t wear what she picked out for her, lol!) In seeing all of the kids clothes in the bins I’m pretty sure that I see some neon pinks and greens in your future, lol!

[@silverscapes9628]

Yep. Children often gravitate to the opposite of what their parents like, just cause it feels new and fresh. My mother loves neutrals and dark tones, I love bright colors and cannot stand greys or anything monochromatic in my living space (I don't mind it in other people's houses, but not in mine).

[@Megan_Truly]

I was thinking similarly... I like the stuff Delilah likes and buy stuff like that for my kids but also buy them the stuff I know they'll like... "Kid clothes," huge butterflies, sequins, whatever. They're only little once.

[@SarahMc585]

You guys. She lets Eloise pick out her own cloths whenever they shopping together. Eloise naturally gravitates towards neutral colours. She’s probably copying her mama shopping habits

[@georjiep4338]

@@Megan_Truly Yes exactly! Let kids look like kids because they grow so fast there's plenty of time in the future when they are adults to wear plain lol

[@AmandaJanayFrank]

I only have one baby and it’s a constant job to stay on top of organizing, keeping things in stock, rotating sizes, etc. You are amazing! Thankfully I love organizing and order so it makes me happy to do it. I think I’m going to start storing our clothes the way you do in drawers so I can see all the pieces instead of being stacked on top! Great idea

[@khamuliane]

It didn't even really start, and I am already in love with this video. Your style evolved so beautifully over the last one-and-a-half years 😻😻😻

[@LaurieLo]

This whole time I’d been climbing inside the cover trying to get the corners in the right spot looking like ghost from the outside!! I’m definitely gonna use this method now!! Thanks Delilah!!! 😅

[@kaciewong1093]

SAME!!! Now Im doing it this way!!

[@anikarogalski95]

I was sick the last few dass an I literally watched almost every video of you since your very first video. I love your content and how honest and raw your videos are. You’re such a wonderful family! Can’t wait to have children by myself when I watch your videos 😍 God bless you and your family. You’re such a light 🥰 ,,Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.“ ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭♥️

[@bekkakean9498]

I cant believe people put duvet covers on this way... There is an easier way! Lay it out right side out pull the corners of the duvet into the cover and match with the corners of the cover and hold the 2 corners one in each hand (making sure u have a grip on the cover as well as the duvet inside) and shake!

[@shlqx1129]

I often do it in my arms without laying it out, just put the cover inside outside (I often get it like this in the process of taking it off) then put your hands inside of it where the corners are (you end up just having the cover rolled on your arms, there's no need to get inside of it), grab the corners of the duvet and while you hold them both like this you just let the cover fall off your arms gently as it flips itself over the duvet. There's three simple moves and the work gets done pretty much by itself :) so easy

[@jujibelle9793]

Exactly how I do it haha, I figured that out real quick after having my first baby who sleeps in the bed with us😅

[@karineyoussef2449]

That’s how I do it!! Put my arms all the way in too

[@Bekah_N14RNH]

I put it inside out, put my arms in and to the corners, then grab the duvet flip it so the cover is the right way round then shake, then get a couple food bag clips put them on the 2 top covers, get bottom of duvet into corners and button it up then shake from that side till it's all even in the cover then it's done

[@kaylalee7861]

This is so smart. I always to throw myself inside and go from there. This makes so much more sense though 😂

[@Mama22norm]

I would love to see more cloth diapering videos as Will starts that journey. I prefer a spray mattress deodorizer so the vacuum head isn’t all over my mattress. You’re doing great!

[@AliJaeJR]

Best way to store wipes are upside down, so that when you open them the top ones are still moist

[@kylajoyscollard]

Hi Delilah! I absolutely LOVE your channel! You make my day whenever you post a video, thank you soo much! And your children are so adorable! DON'T STOP!

[@sabrinalake8803]

[@bethisntgraceful]

18 years of love and care is a better gift for your kids than a journal anyway 🤗

[@natalyasawicki1059]

I switched from liquid laundry soap to tide powdered and it’s insane how much fresher our towels have been!

[@hannahschoening4424]

I love the baking soda bedding back. I use it because we have dogs and their dander gets embedded. We even use a waterproof liner sheet. But curious if you turn or flip your mattress? I notice the side you normally sleep on is looking a bit deflated. That’s when it’s time to turn it. We do this in our house every 6 months to keep the wear and tear even on the mattress. Also, if your back has been hurting after sleeping, turning the mattress can improve your back pain too.

[@nikkisweezea2388]

That kind of mattress, with a pillow top, can't be flipped because the pillow layer is only on the top. It can be rotated, though. But, I find, with 2 people sleeping in it, it doesn't really make much of a difference.

[@hconf]

I put the duvet cover on differently but I like your way too! I take two inside corners of the duvet and two corners of the comforter and hold each together and shake it on.

[@lyssthehobbyist]

I use that bed freshening tip but I go one step further. If you can handle the smell for the 30 minutes - after you rub the baking soda in, take a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly spray down the bed. Then once it dries, vacuum it up. It's something 👌 special

[@camillecousyn5317]

Omg, I love lavender essential oil to help with my sleep in general too! But watch out with using lavender essential oil alot around the kiddos! It can mess with their hormones, look it up if you are curious!

[@camillecousyn5317]

Researchers say lavender oil and tea tree oil may contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals that cause abnormal breast growth in young boys.

[@Nash1716]

We are watching, and you’re stripping the bed, the shot is the view through the mirror. My 9 year old daughter Sophie (who is a big fan by the way) says “mom there’s something wrong with Delilah’s mirror!” I look hard and see nothing and ask what she means. She replies, “Because there’s a a very beautiful lady stuck in it!” 😂😂 I just had to share you look very beautiful today!

[@humeyraca1936]

how cute 🥺💖

[@ashboheme]

The rice air freshners is such a grand idea! Just did it myself while watching this video and my bedroom is already smelling fresher

[@emilyjane6667]

So many wipes! Would you consider using washable wipes once you are cloth nappying again? We have 40 bambino mio wipes and have never needed disposable wipes at all - even during the meconium phase! And they would last for another baby too hopefully as I know you wanted to continue to grow your family. Our baby William didn't fit in pockets until maybe 4/5 months old? We used folded muslins and covers until them and loved them. All the best!

[@hannahpalmer8043]

The mattress trick is a life saver ❤️

[@vidz953]

So many wipes!! 😂 We just cut up old t-shirts and toss them in with the cloth diapers. Saved us a lot of money + was good for the environment in those early days/months. I love seeing the life cycle of your thrifted things!

[@loissaedder2214]

We just used face cloths (or washers here in Aus) back in my time of babies. Just wet them at changing time. Cloth nappies were flannelette when very young toweling as they got older. Hand towels were burp cloths. This is back in the 70s.

[@ikjft]

Each to their own but I am a little blown away from the ammount of wet wipes, isnt the biggest motivation to use cloth diapers its impact on enviorment? I tried but didn't get the hang of the cloth diapering (too many leaks), instead we used less plasticy diapers (better for babys bum) and pottytrained asap. But wet wipes? I only used them when I was staying over in a place with no running water with baby, all other times I used running warm water to wash the bum.

[@vidz953]

@@ikjft that's awesome you did that - good for their sensitive skin, too! For our family the motivation is both money and the environment. That's why we both cloth diaper and launder old t shirt pieces in place of wipes. I'm a SAHP, though, so the time factor isn't a huge burden.

[@blacklion5436]

thank you so much to mention that your husband was watching the kids and they were watching tv.. i just thought omg i can never clean a space like that because my 2 year old my 5 month old can't be alone.. when i have a day to clean, my husband let them watch tv and i feel bad.. thank you very much for your real life videos 😘😘😘 i try to maintain a clean home, try to cook 3 healthy meals and try to play with them as much as i can, it's just hard sometimes to do that all alone..

[@maddowlysunlight]

Your way on putting duvet covers on is very different than my style. XD How I do it:The cover is inside out, I put my arms all the way inside so I can grab the two upper corner’s again, then I grab the two upper corners of the blanket and shake, so that the cover flips over and falls down. Then you just button it up and shake it so it’s even.

[@dahliahart6]

Love the new wipes packaging, makes the one handed wipe pull easier, I don't know how or why, but it does.

[@frida_173uhl4]

Loved all the wholesome content as usual ☺️ but that duvet "hack" .... I can make your life even easier: the cover needs to be inside out, you go up into the right and left top corner with your hands (don't stick your head in as well though 😋). Then (with your hands covered by the cover -sorry haha) you grab the two corners of your duvet's short side, pull your hands up and shake the cover over the duvet (hold on tight to those corners). Obviously this is a bit more difficult/ heavier with a big duvet but give it a try. Everyone I know does it this way🤷 takes less than an minute, including zipping or buttoning the cover.
