It only took two days for it to get like this... | Clean With Me | Mom of 2 under 3

Hi! Welcome to my channel, today I am cleaning my disaster of a living room while I share some tips and experiences on cleaning while dealing with overstimulation.
Thank you for hanging out with me!

[@emmsue1053]

I am probably going to be hated for this comment but I my heart goes out to you and I mean well!! You have far too many accessible toys for the tinies.. Put at least half in cardboard boxes, store them away and every month or so swap them around.. Make yourself a "routine" chart .. Does not have to complicated.. Think about from breakfast onwards for the day.. You're doing fantastic, this time will pass and the babies will remember the love you give them, not the lack of spotless. xx

[@shawncossel1100]

I enjoy Remi Clog also. She is so honest and informative about life inside the workings of autism and other related life challenges she and her family share.

[@RosieFlaten]

She really is such an inspiration to me. Her videos are a big reason I started my videos. :)

[@debibee4507]

Remi clog is the best and so honest

[@Dollypops43]

Remi is such a darling

[@AzelieAnne]

You took the right step with decluttering! "When your stuff causes you stress it's time for it to go." Yes!! The only other thing I would encourage you to do to make life more manageable is to Instruct your kids to help put toys away. Obviously when they are little like this you help them but when your daughter was sitting next to you she could have put a few books away. Teaching them where things go from a young age with gentle reminders to clean up whrn they are done an activity will help them naturally put things away.

[@74wr3nc3]

That face at 7:49 :D was perfect! This was definitely the most visually satisfying to watch because of all the cleaning. It was also nice to slowly see you get less stressed as the house got cleaner. Amazing Job! Keep up the great work!

[@RosieFlaten]

HAHA that was going to be my little snack/reward but noooooo Thank you for watching it all the way through!

[@RosieFlaten]

You’re right!! You can’t pour from an empty cup right?! 💕

[@3TXSisters]

I was going to ask if you could keep the toys in the kids' bedroom until you explained your living arrangements, lol! You're doing a great job. Maybe you could have just a few toys out at a time and rotate. Fewer toys mean less time cleaning. This is the first video of yours that I've seen. It's amazing how much you did with little ones under foot. Your children are adorable! I'll look at more of your videos before I bombard you with questions, lol. I enjoy the voiceover. I know it takes time to edit that style, so do what's best for your schedule! Take care, Linda 🦋

[@RosieFlaten]

Oh gosh Linda! Thank you for taking the time to write me love a lovely thoughtful comment! ☺️ the goal is absolutely to be able to move somewhere with more space but I’ve got to be patient. I have been decluttering a bunch and will definitely try out toy rotations because we do have a small garage to store a few things. I really appreciate your suggestion! 🌹

[@lindanienhuis721]

You are awesome. I grew up in a small 2 bedroom house for 6 kids and 2 adults. I don't remember any time that it was nest and clean. You are doing an awesome job. I am so impressed with your plan for cleaning. You are awesome!!

[@annawitter5161]

I really like your nice chatty video. Brings back lots of memories .I had three babies in four years, and a very exacting husband who constantly complained about the mess. I am a messy person but mess bothers me so I was forever cleaning up . But I had three little Sherman tanks coming after me and undoing all the good work ...just in time for their dad to walk in!!

[@RosieFlaten]

HAHAHA EXACTLY! He sees the final product and is like... "What did you do today hun?" lol its the gremlins! Your comment describes my life but I am learning to embrace it. 🩷

[@mnice3784]

Just wait until you notice how happy and content your babies will be with less toys ❤

[@RosieFlaten]

You’re right! They will be able to focus on what they’re paying with better hopefully. 🥰🥰

[@arolynsheppard]

Declutter and make it easier on yourself by getting rid of toys and clothes laying around. Being a minulist will help with your depression and anxiety.

[@tahirihwalsh6217]

Great job! I’m sorry you’re dealing with PPD. That’s very challenging with two small children. ❤ I love Remi’s videos too, she’s great! I like the voice over style of videos, so we can watch as you clean. Looking forward to seeing more of your content! ❤

[@RosieFlaten]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback a ton. :) I want to also create vloggy type content but maybe I should keep them in separate videos?

[@tahirihwalsh6217]

@@RosieFlaten I would keep them separate, yes. I find it hard to watch when videos switch between styles.

[@journeyoflovee]

This was such a refreshing great video! 🥹 you’re doing amazing btw and what you were saying about being messy doesn’t mean you like the mess is so true and I feel like a lot of people don’t get that people can easily make messes but there’s a lot of factors sometimes that can be why they don’t clean it up right away. I live with family as well so it’s a smaller space to work with all the toys and stuff which can make it harder to clean but I saw another comment mention toy rotation and that has helped me as well! This style of video helps me get motivated to clean but I like both styles a vlog type one & voiceover are both nice. Also I totally get that it’s hard to do voiceovers with kids my toddler is very loud as well lol, don’t feel too much pressure if sometimes the sound of toys or background noise from your kids get in the voiceover sometimes it happens and as moms we totally understand that and it’s okay! 💖 this was a great video & a lot of comforting topics you talked about.

[@RosieFlaten]

Thank you so much for your feedback on the voiceover. I’m so grateful that most of the people that have been watching my videos are mothers and have been so kind. Thank you for being here. 💕💕

Hi dear Rosie, I really like your videos. So you asked for advice on how to tidy and what works for me is trying to apply minimalism a bit. So the less I own, the less clutter and responsibility to clean :) Sending you warm hugs!

I think that is the number one recommendation I have heard and I think you’re right. I am going to work to get things dialed back very soon. Thank you!! 😊💕

[@elliereda5501]

I'm still here I think you are starting off in the right direction. I would try to get rid of some stuff so the next clean up will be easier and each time it will get easier. The space is small but getting rid of stuff will give you more space. Great Job!!!!!

[@kathyepperson7689]

I think its great you sorted out the toys and got rid of the old ones so they could play with the newer ones. You did a great job.

Hi! I know you're decluttering as you clean, that's imperative! We all usually have too many clothes and toys!

[@RosieFlaten]

yes wayyy too many clothes and toys! I've been through the toys, just need to tackle the clothes.

[@katharinar167]

I know it's hard to stay on top of it when the kids are small and the apartment is small.I had almost the same situation,even when I'm not messy at all,it goes out of control now and then.Now my kids are already in school,it was just a blink of an eye.Now I'm ready for a new baby😅don't worry,everything is fine and I just came to tell you this❤❤❤love from germany abd have a nice day

[@Sypeth]

My brain works the same as yours, I have ADHD with major initiation task issues. I hate when my house gets messy but my brain won’t let me tidy unless I trick it and it doesn’t want to be tricked some days 😏 My tip is to have less stuff and a robot vacuum cleaner, this way my house cannot get overly messy (somehow it still does but it takes less time to clean) and my floor is cleaned on a daily basis. Also I use timers but for like 5 or 7mn, not more than this. My brain is ok to get up and work for 5 mn, then once I have started doing something, most of the time my brain doesn’t want to stop, hehe, I’ve tricked my brain. ! 😂

[@RosieFlaten]

Thank you so much for those great ideas! 💕☺️

[@valerielatpakdy4805]

I think it’s habit, not a natural instinct for me to clean either. But I do hate the mess so that kind of motivates me. I feel more overwhelmed and anxious when it’s messy.

What is filling that travel cot? Is it washing or clean clothes? You obviously don't use half the stuff in it as you can't reach it. 😐 again ask your Mum or family to take the children out for even an hour so you can really get stuck in. 💐

[@RosieFlaten]

It was clean clothes but I was able to get everything put away :) I put them in there because my dogs like to lay on out clean laundry 😅

[@user-ic8en6dl1r]

Put some of the toys away. Too many small pieces, that can become a choking hazard. ❤❤
