🌙 late night MEGA CLEANING MOTIVATION

[@JoannaThornton]

Amber Brooks-- you're the winner of the $50 Amazon gift card. Comment on here or message me on Instagram your email address. Congrats friend! 🥰

[@creceyvarney6767]

In our home, we tell our kids they are a part of a family and family members help each other. We don’t pay them weekly, but occasionally I’ll just give them some money. Their workload has gradually increased each year as applicable like you said. Some of their initial chores were feeding the dog and giving her fresh water, emptying the dishwasher, tidying their rooms, and taking their clothes to the laundry room. I had a couple of wise mothers with children that were older, responsible, and self-sufficient advise me that I should be working myself out of a job. These ladies had made goals that their kids would start adult life having useful life skills. This seemed so wonderful to me because in college I met so many peers who couldn’t care for themselves. There were a couple of girls I knew who cried as a result of being overwhelmed with basic tasks like cooking something simple. This one sweet girl in my dorm was washing her laundry with ONLY fabric softener! 😆 Anyway, life skills - they’re important! So, currently, at 11 years old and 13 years old, they do their laundry, cook simple things, care for all of the pets’ basic needs, clean their rooms, wash dishes, help with home projects, etc. AND just to be clear and not to give any false impressions - it’s hard! It doesn’t happen without parental oversight. There is whining, and there is reminding. 😂 But they are learning what it takes to care for themselves and others. So, I’m with you! The BIGGEST and BEST reward they receive is from being in a family with parents that love them and teach them.

[@elisamaurerbailey2787]

Totally agree with this 💯

[@nightpoison88]

I love this. We struggle with my step kids because life at their moms is sooooo different than at our house. We want them to learn to take care of themselves. We are getting ready to move and they are gonna have their own rooms now so more responsibility. I started with them washing dishes and one girl did amazing the other did about 1/3 and refused to dry them before going back to moms.

[@only10mins_]

Girl keep doing you!! You don’t have to give explanations at all, whether you paint or wear shoes inside your home. Whatever makes you happy. Love your videos.

[@gennamccuen617]

My son is 4 and he just started doing chores this year. I made a list of things that he can do like making his bed, feeding the dog, putting away laundry and dishes etc. and every day he marks off the stuff that he’s done and he gets a quarter per chore. Some days he gets 1.25 and others nothing, we mostly leave it up to him in order to not make it a power struggle and keep it fun while he’s leaning about responsibility. I more so started chores to teach him about money, counting, saving and spending.

[@angieharris9744]

Making his bed ??

[@gennamccuen617]

@@angieharris9744 lol a simplified version of it. When his sheets need changing that’s all me, but in the morning he straightens out his blanket and pillows.

[@amorant884]

Wow, enjoy your time with your mom and mother-in-love 🥰. So very precious. My mom was 90 when she passed last July, miss both of my parents so much. 🙏🏾💕

The air fryer that your family needs it’s the double Ninja..it’s AMAZING, especially for your big family

[@courtneyblume5055]

Love those lavender shorts!! 💜 Thankful for this video and you!!!!

[@marhoyt4200]

I started my kids young, every birthday they got a new chore. When they hit 10, they got two new chores. They got to pick off the many things. No one got paid unless they wanted to earn $. Then they got paid for extra chores if there current chores are done. They also learned to clean or do things right because if they didn’t then they earned another chore. My kids are 31, 26 and 20 now and have stated that they felt that helped them with their self esteem. Now I’m not saying that they were happy about it at the time. 🤣🤣😘. You have a wonderful family. You’ll do what works well for them. 🙌‼️❤️

[@kaylacrockett160]

My fav,Joanna Thornton! Finally, been waiting on a new upload.🤗🤗🤗

Hey Kayla! Thanks for being here! 😘

[@arnettrabaker4872]

Greta music choices and thank you for not overwhelming the video with voice overs.

[@therodsquad427]

My kids have tasks they are expected to do. The older one cares for the chickens, feed, water, get eggs daily. She also unloads the dishwasher. The little one puts her clothes away, wipes windows, and cleans surfaces. They get an allowance, $25 every 2 weeks but $10 goes into savings and $5 goes into their charity account. They both have Greenlight debit cards and we love them! Teaches them how to manage their money and save for things they want.

[@tammythompson4083]

I got the Ninja Foodi for Christmas. Best gift ever. Folds up when not in use so it takes up very little space on the counter. Has several setting from air fry, roast, bake, etc. preheats in less than 3 minutes and doesn’t heat up the kitchen like the oven does.

[@VeronicaSaturn]

I don't know how I missed this video days ago but I'm glad I have it today. It will help get me ready for my night time cleaning I have to do tonight!

[@bethhayes9829]

You’re just the best!! Always love watching your videos! Thanks for all the laughs, encouragement and motivation! ❤️

[@emelyhernandez5622]

Yasss just what i needed this morning to give my motivation a kick start! Here in Texas my kids have only 3 more days left of school! So excited for that! Our teachers have been so incredible this year and i know they're ready for this summer vacation to get started! We have a couple of trips planned, and tons of activities to keep 4 kiddos busy! No allowance here! My kids have daily chores. My kids are 11, 9, 3, and 2. From oldest to youngest they all have a couple of things that are expected from them. We also reward them for good grades or for going above and beyond to do things without being asked.

[@rachelmcphee9715]

Due to my work schedule I do a lot of cleaning at night too! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[@JoannaThornton]

Yessss and it’s nice it doesn’t get immediately messed up! 🙈🥰

[@rachelmcphee9715]

It is nice for it to stay organized until the kids come home from school in the afternoon.

[@Saira2305]

I done same project with on of my mirrors wich I have on the guest bathroom, it was black and I painted white. I also painted the baby bed white. It was natural and I paint it white to. I could paint everything white 😂😍 Thanks for the new motivation ❤️ iam from Germany. Our springbreak was in March.. Now my kids counting the days till summer break but here is only 6 weeks long 😅 hope we will enjoy summer this year a little bit more, because last year we was busy with moving to our own house and getting stuff ready. Wish you a great rest Week ❤️

[@ericakennedy7683]

The Cosori air fryer from Amazon is amazing. I’ve had mine for over 2 years and it’s working perfectly fine. It’s also big enough if you have a larger family.

[@sunshinegirl9515]

I love your videos. They give me the motivation to clean because sometimes I really hate cleaning lol. So thank you for giving me motivation.

[@MommingWithCharity]

Hey girl! I feel like its been ages since i watched one of your videos!!!! I have a small channel and i watch a lot of other small channels to help each other grow, so i dont get to watch my favorite ladies that have really big channels too often! I love the mirror! And im excited to see what you do with your island! Great motivation!

[@jacquiebeattie649]

Welcome back from the all girls vacation!! I'm going to Florida Beach with my son and family this Saturday, I can't wait 🤗 The only thing I would do in the bedroom to give a pop is a colorful chair not a solid color. Great cleaning my friend. I do like cleaning at night.. Love you much!!!

[@brendatenney8404]

First, congrats to Ms. Amber Brooks!! Regarding the odd animals in the yard while doing things, yeah....no me either! I will say my parents were borderline poor. They had just enough money to pay bills and put food on the table. We never got an allowance. We were expected to clean our rooms, do the dishes, and clean the house as best we could. We also had to mow our front and back lawn. Because our neighbor was gone loads of time during the week for his job, he would buy us some foods as a thank you to my mom watching his house to ensure no one did anything dumb while he was gone. Our “allowance” was sort of getting nicer food choices from when our neighbor bought food just to have something. But, if we wanted that food, we also had to go wash his dishes and vacuum the house / dust. It was an odd situation, but that neighbor was so helpful and a blessing. Had not been for that person, we may have had to sell the house and move to an apartment. Tough times. This was in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. No dishwashers for lots of the houses in my old neighborhood. No tablets, computers, cordless vacuum, anything. LOL...true “stone age” type concepts. I totally understand taking time to truly think on things before doing them. We own our first house, and I’m the one staying home to do lots of things. Once I get a moment to study and complete a certification, I can then get a job. Then, we’ll go researching for better floors, a larger and nicer fridge / freeze thing, and a back screen door. We can afford it now, but I want to wait until I have a good job, and we save more money as to enjoy nice, high tech things. Our house has really dark hard wood floors (they could be manufactured wood, but just looks like hard wood), and one of these days next year, I’m going to research to swap for the light gray / light brown color. It’ll lighten our house up, and not show the dirt on the floors so easily. Love your content as always.

[@michellet.6414]

A little bit of sugar added to a vase will make flowers last longer as well. I will have to try the bleach sometime. 🌺 I have seen a commercial where kids were complaining they didn’t have a phone etc. or whatever it was the parents put a Christmas bow on the light switch, the fridge, their bed etc., the faucet, their bed etc. it was a nice general commercial. -when you talked about allowance etc. that commercial I just remembered. That’s all

[@darcygerhart8198]

I can’t tell you how many times I have been checking for a new video!!! So excited!

[@JoannaThornton]

[@sashaverrone1870]

I had a super fancy, name brand air fryer and it crapped out on me EXACTLY one yr in... the day before thanksgiving 😫 lol so i ran to walmart and got a cheap one and it has NEVER failed me yet. I love it even more than my old one

[@normataylor3124]

Good motivation. I don't have an air fryer but I just boil my beef now cuts out all the grease mess and then just let it drain well.

[@rachaelerickson4260]

I have always loved the idea of set chores for kids with no allowance expectation, but then have above and beyond options for a small amount of money they can do in addition to what is expected.

[@denises9426]

Thank you so much for another super motivating video! You work so hard and I appreciate everything you do so much!! Love your content and your channel!!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Amy.Darley]

You always give me the motivation I need!!!! Love you friend!

[@casaundramink1460]

Hey I’m new to your channel, but I have been watching Amy Darley for a while now. I love you all so much and I get so many amazing ideas and inspiration from you all. I have two girls, a 4 year old and a 4 month old. My oldest does have a chore chart and luckily she is at the age where she does not comprehend the meaning of money and how much stuff costs so when she completes chores she gets change from mine and daddy’s pockets. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She also has certain things she has to do, but when she goes above and beyond and helps me out with things she gets money. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see more videos!!!!

[@jessiemclaren7032]

Unfortunately in Canada it's still pretty restricted so summer will be ok-ish, but not anything close to normal :( My hope is for a normal Christmas this year, cause it might take until at least the fall before things start to really fully open up. We miss seeing our families so fingers crossed for major improvements soon!

[@cherandkev]

Totally agree with you. From another Canadian.

[@mandyconcienne7726]

Love your videos. Got me through another round on the treadmill. I wear shoes in my house all the time 😉❤️ have a great week

[@thewadsquad]

bleach in your flowers?! I did a science experiment in middle school and found that sprite won out over everything else to keep flowers looking the best the longest!! -- we didn't try bleach though... the internet wasn't what it is now back then... lol -- our kids do not get an allowance they have responsibilities. We do however reward them for good grades. That is their 'job' in our eyes and their hard work will be rewarded. Just as it would be in the real world - you do not get paid to clean your room... unless you are a youtuber ;-) l.o.l. -- ps I'm totally here for the declutter...

[@JoannaThornton]

Bahahaha, I'm loving all this insight! I need to try Sprite...definitely never used that before in my flowers! I feel the same way about allowance. Like, you get to live here, kiddo, ISN'T OUR HOUSE SO COOL?!?!?! 😂😆😂😆

My husband, stepson, and I just got back from a short (3 1/2 day) trip to Florida to visit family. We ended up going to a Tampa Rays baseball game, to Universal Studios where I rode a rollercoaster for the very first (and last) time in my life, and we went out to eat at all kinds of fun restaurants ~~ Cracker Barrel, Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gumps, and Waffle House. Then I came home and quit my job ~~ it was not completely unexpected as I have been contemplating leaving for several years. It just feels so good to have the monkey off my back. I may end up going back and spending some additional time in Florida to help my sister in law do some major house cleaning and organizing.

[@pamelar3257]

For draining your ground beef: I put down double paper plates, layer it with a few paper towels and I have a metal colander (Bed Bath & Beyond years ago) i put on top and then I can just dump the beef and carry on.

[@kelseywoods6118]

Love your new mirror! I love all of your decor, I love all the fun & funky colors!

[@karend8575]

It’s funny how families handle allowance. My husband and I were pretty much raised the same way so it seemed easier. Our kids had “chores” to do regardless. But as they got older, I think about 6 when they really understood what money was, I wanted to instill in them the need to “save”. So I encouraged them to save part of it with the condition that 25% of it went into their bank account. And for each time they did that, I told them I would match what they saved. I continued that on for forever, even with Easter money and things like that. It worked. They are still savers and I think it instilled a sense of responsibility that they are passing on to their own kids. 👍🏻

[@karminimohan]

So happy and excited to see your video which is always so motivating Joanna. Also would like to say you look really good, I wish I had half your discipline with intermittent fasting.

[@sineadleahy1191]

We do a points system for chores, i.e, 5 points for dishes, 10 points for hoovering etc, and when the children get to their required points they chose an activity. My elder girls love a mani/pedi, and the elder boys love go karting. The younger children, still want points for toy store. With lockdown kast year, they amount of points....I need Ireland to open quickly!!!

[@rachaelcapper1297]

My kids don't have specific chores, but I do have them help me out on big cleaning days, but they are expected to keep their room clean and pick up they're own toys etc. When they've been good and helped me out a lot I basically split all the change in my purse between them for their money boxes. When I was a teen my mum used to give me £20 a month pocket money, but I had to keep my room clean and me and brother would take turn doing the dishes through the week

[@KarinAhum]

That's one big mirror! Love it. I really like your style, come decorate my house haha. I love your video. Wish I could do half what you do. I did my dishes this morning, must have made a wrong move and... Done for the day. Netflix and chill (not chill, because I was frustrated). Have an amazing day ❤️

[@Tamsue]

Can’t agree enough with the spot floor clean … 🌻

[@JoannaThornton]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@TheSoftesBread]

We do 6$ a week that’s not tied to anything. That way they can learn to spend, save, etc as they want. This keeps us from buying them things throughout the year. They can save up for things they want. But they are expected to do family contributions(we don’t say chores) that way they maybe more likely to do it. Family contributions are like putting your clothes in the hamper out of the floor. Putting your dishes in the sink. Picking up your toys etc. my kids are 6 and 8. I’m hoping this summer to add things like loading the dishwasher or maybe doing some laundry...

[@Ashley-ne5dr]

I’m so ready for school to be over probably looking forward to it more than my kids. I never thought about browning the beef the night before that’s a great idea. 😁

I hate when mamas who clean after their kids have to explain what or why. I wish people would not comment about how “your kids need to clean behind themselves.” Everyone parents differently. And just because there’s a mess in your video that you make once a week doesn’t mean they don’t clean after themselves 6 other days of the week. Love your videos Jo! 💓

[@Kathyrawhide]

Ok a bit of a tip use totes and label the projects diy, placevin papers. Pics, tools, color samples, info post- it's like - cement order by 2 to be able to do afternoon truck haul if Saturday, Sunday closed. Those bits & bobs of diy tasks from large renovation finishes yourself, & tiny paint projects, actual yearly projects you do the same diy redo each year like paint the shed, color choices, finishes, roof material for storms. & make a maintenance log book of your home, when you make changes, list of handy& carpenters, have work labor done, do updates put the info, code names, swatches, make a sample board with all furnishings so you remember how u setup your display, furn, details or a pic of the supplies you needed into that book. As you progress every year, every month pull the tote projects you can do in your timeframe, remember to look at your pin pages pics in pinterest I do one for every project because I have several choices of styles I may choose, & you cant remember it all. Grab your maintenance diy book you filled from former projects & with that filled tote or totes, can be tiny to huge depends on contents you gathered. Make choices, align the best project determined by supplies, ability physically, weather, & time frame. Then start decisions choose if you keep the plan you worked on or revise it, get those essential extra changes ordered or tools in that week or so. The do the project, update maintenance book, save only the used samples. Explanations for tiny damage. If in a year you dont need saved supplies, purge, & start on a new design. Not every house needs white walls and minimalist furniture coverings, or pick at walmart our style throw it togetger decisions. Or everything's white so we can change up accessories. Trends change, farmhouse is out new trends of color come in. As you fill these bins together you make your choices & decide just be aware of who makes choices, if family, kid projects, spouse project, guys project, let those participating choose items in your budget, but let them know supplies change if we cant get this color, this fabric, by the timeframe and it discontinues. Then we will have to choose again when this tote is opened. It's so difficult to get projects started, gather all pieces, remember how we did it at the past house. That we get overwhelmed. This way you choose cost, time, weather, & energy if your participants those choices are key to getting things done. My mom once called me do u have the tile picked out for me, then shed call my sister did we decide on blue cause I see red in this tote. This way all participating are on the same design, & cost level. In 2020 we now have shortages & model find issues. Make it a smooth, make it fun, make it less choices, less daunting tasks. & that log maintenance binder book put in pockets to hold relevant warranties, instruction booklets, pic of the appliances etc fir your homeowners replacement insurance

So what we did was regular chores...dishes putting laundry away, feeding the dog, vacuum, etc. That we didn't give no money for. Like you said that got to live here lol. But we had "extras" they could do for money. I'll tell you what...my kids are grown and are financially independent. ! I don't know if it's because of that or what but definitely made them thankful for everything & always take care of what they have. But I totally agree with you!

[@JoannaThornton]

Love this! I want them to know we appreciate their help but also want to teach them independence and the value of hard work. 🥰🥰

[@LivingInTheMomLane]

Our kids get paid for a few chores but some things they have to do because they’re part of the family and family helps one another out. They do get paid for good grades. I’ve never heard of bleach in flowers!! 🤯 I will have to try this the next time I have fresh flowers. I can’t go barefoot in the house either.

I don’t have kids but as a kid I had chores and got $20 a week from middle school up. This was for me to learn about management because school game for example, I had to pay for. They took me to bank and opening a checking account for mr at 13, I felt so special! Lol it also gave me drive because I wanted stuff so I started a job at 14 doing papers and then 15 video store etc. to earn money and such. I’m a for sure proponent, but we are all diff and all kids learn diff. Helped me relate to real world so to speak.

Hi Joanna always waiting for your next vidio. When I lost my Mum 15 years ago apart of me went with her I miss her so much she was my best friend I could talk to her about anything, not a day goes by when I think of her so Xmas birthdays Easter is the worst. Stay close to your Mum Joanna as the saying goes you don’t know what you got until it’s gone.🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🌹💖

My kids have 3 weeks left until summerbreak, they have home studies every other day so they are home alot anyway. We dont have any travel plans, we dont usually travel but I hope we can get to another city and do something, we will se what they say about the pandemic first 🥴 there is a hotel that I love in a big city here in sweden, I cant spell the city's name, its called Göteborg in swedish. The hotel is right by the water, and I love the feeling there, and you take a boat and go over to the other side where there is a amusement park🙂we have about 4 hours there 🙂
