*2023* THROW IT OUT! A FRESH START EXTREME CLEANING MOTIVATION // DECLUTTER KIDS ROOM + NEW DESK

[@MomLikely]

Have you got a space checked off your list this past week? Hope you have a great week! I’m feeling great about working my way through the house. I did end up finding the new plastic drawers for the closet, I’ll show them next time.

[@sunshinenday3439]

No 😢 we've been sick since New Years. I'm going crazy....my mind is on 1000 with the amount of things I'm motivated to do but my body is telling me no go lol. Im copying the second im better number one is my youngest ones room....I like this pull everything out into a pile and one by one assess route....looks tiring but refreshing.

[@MomLikely]

Absolutely and it has to be addresses once it out and nothing is hidden. Feel better. I was sick for around 3 weeks. ❤️

[@emojisonly257]

@@MomLikely anit this the same room you cleaned from your last video a week ago?

[@MomLikely]

Nope last week was my other daughters room. They have the same bed.

[@DivingwithDee223]

I organized under my bathroom sink this week. It was so refreshing!

[@wendyeskelin8765]

Midwest Magic Cleaning sent me. Getting all of that cleaned in 4 hours is impressive.

[@murgunstrumm92]

Was recommended your channel by another KZbin cleaner, Midwest Magic Cleaning. Really glad they recommended your channel, really loving your videos and how you speak openly to the viewers.

[@t.y.5565]

Hi Mom Likely! I am a viewer of Midwest Magic Cleaning and he referred his viewers to your channel. He said you are one of his favs!

[@rebeccalohnes4016]

I saw the look on your daughter's face. I think she likes her new desk! I'm not a mom but I think what you're doing and how you are doing it is great. You're teaching them to be responsible but also giving them a clean slate and your support. Great job mom!

[@MomLikely]

Oh that’s the little one. The daughter that goes in this room does not like to be on camera lol but they both like the space.

[@cloeycook8048]

Oh re sme ame Zion ok price me I lave I think we have questions about you guys and I can send me a walk with me I think it's the same price and my husband is happening

[@dee-godfirst]

Midwest Magic cleaning brought me to your channel. He shouted you out and I love him

[@flamflam6652]

"I can't do everything, but they can do more." Spot on!

[@MomLikely]

Yes!❤️

[@Troy-fx5nc]

Love the realness of your channel! Mid West Magic Cleaning Guy sent many of us to your channel. I hadn't heard about you!

[@nancygiovanakoglou3324]

Throw it out is a great video series, I think you are really making a difference 👌 👏

[@MomLikely]

Thank you. Definitely in my home 😁❤️

[@Ginax217]

The feeling of only having the physical and mental strength to do ONLY one room in your home is sooo relatable to me because after my sons room I AM literally DONE in every way 🤣 I love your videos girl, always have!

[@MomLikely]

Haha realized your name lol my hoe. Hahah yes absolutely it’s tiring especially when you just go ham and complete a large task like these. Thanks for coming back by.

Just wanted to let you know Midwest magic cleaning just gave your channel a huge ✨️!!!

[@lindafett1826]

I watch Midwest Magic Cleaning and he mentioned your channel👍

[@Johnitacc]

Another great job Mom! The real disservice is allowing your kids to grow into adulthood thinking this way of life is ok. Kids have to learn these life skills so they need to be taught. It's an act of love to teach them how to be self-sufficient and be able to carry these lessons into adulthood. Giving her the big girl desk was a great idea. I'm sure she will appreciate that! Love it!❤️

[@MomLikely]

Absolutely and they will have families of their own so they need to know what to do.

[@jeannenabozny5675]

Clear space clear mind. Mentally healthy for all your kids too.

[@ellenherman9543]

Mine has a small closet...we just limit her clothes to that area. So much more peaceful.

[@Lindster2012]

This is such a gift. You’re giving your daughters a gift of a clean tidy “reset”. And I know your eldest will love her new desk! Let’s hope she cares for and respects it with some guidance from you. The best thing you can do is lead by example and practice what you preach. They are watching and learning. Also, your thoughts about physical clutter and mental clutter are right on. If you’re overstimulated and overwhelmed, they are too. Kids do not need 47 toys. They need a few favorite items to love and treasure. The rest should be up to imagination. Also, I was a little freaked out by the toddler dolls, not gonna lie. Did not know that was a thing. 😂Lastly, your personal goals and mine are very similar. I left social media (except KZbin) so that I can connect with people in real life and cut out distractions. I kept KZbin cause I can learn a lot about a lot of things from it. One thing I am learning about is budgeting and debt payoff. Check out Kumiko the Budget Mom if you haven’t yet. She’s great!

[@MomLikely]

Yea I love her I went through my time watching her often. And Dave Ramsey. Thanks so much for watching. I agree leading with intention and example ❤️

[@janetsmith9486]

You can use that mop on walls

[@rebeccaabrams3079]

People don’t realize how much cleaning is a learned skill/task - you are setting a wonderful new example ❤

[@andersdottir1111]

Your daughter’s room looks amazing- she will have something to start with now and make it her own. A nice warm rug will finish that room off nicely.

[@carolebritain9668]

Nothing more liberating than finding a floor! Another job well done!

[@CaliAnimalLover]

You and the girls deserve some fun now! You did a huge job! Now it’s done. And tomorrow is a new day!

[@mekissawebb7636]

I’m new here! Well, actually your last video when you cleaned out your daughter’s room was my first time to your channel. I love your mindset and motivation! My kids are older, but I remember when they were little, I was going through the same issues. Keep pushing, Mom! You’re doing great and deserve that extra time you need!

[@MomLikely]

Absolutely! Thanks for coming back to visit. Good to know there is light for later. Lol

[@mekissawebb7636]

Some! 😂😂 The toys are gone, but It turns into clothes and shoes everywhere.

[@MomLikely]

I hear that. I’m like you gotta take care of it or I’ll wear it lmao

[@jamiealex1606]

I'm a mum. Of 6 love watching these videos helps me clean my self

[@ellenherman9543]

Thank god for people like you who are brave enough to open your life to others...you have no idea how much you help!

[@gailweinshank4760]

My kids are grown/ but I am proud of you and you work hard 😊

[@shortstacked1980]

Hey there yeah so for the other video with your kids room …been there done that and when I was that age my mom kept telling me if you don’t start keeping it up I’m gonna come in here and throw it all away !!! And that’s what she did !!!!!!!!! I kept that room pretty clean after that !!! Lmao 🤣 so now I tell my 11 year old daughter the same thing !!!

[@MomLikely]

Hahaha she was hearing it for a few weeks. After being sick I couldn’t no more

[@BarbaraBulichi]

Moms are amazing 🎉

[@lauraricci611]

Looks great. A mature looking room. She will enjoy the changes.

[@nonotreally4398]

A real dresser and some thoughtful organization will go a long way. That way, when she cleans, she'll have a designated place for everything.

[@MomLikely]

I agree we didn’t have enough. Her desk drawers helped and I did end up adding more clothing drawers to her closet. She wanted the storage in there so we kept to the plastic drawers but I got new ones last night.

[@gbk1t]

Seeing your daughter’s little face at the end was worth every moment of your hard work. Fantastic job.

[@jackiehutton1023]

Very they are old enough to do it themselves you are a good mum

[@strider6074]

The room looks beautiful! I raised 2 kids & what they really used a lot was bookcases. They can put all their books, & things they create & get from school & friends on it. You might want to get one for her. Also, I know if kids have trash cans they are more likely to aim at the can instead of the floor.

[@kimberly8185]

One of the best tips I ever heard was to have trash cans in every room. Helps so much.

[@victoriabinagia2360]

So beyond proud of you mama bear!!!! ❤️😍😁 Looks amazing!

[@catherinetownsend-scott4372]

I am glad that I found you! I was looking up declutter ideas because I have been sick, and the holidays and a whole plethora of stuff that I won't get into here. Point being- I was so overwhelmed looking at the junk, garbage, just crap....in my kids rooms. You are 1 of the few that were REAL and completely relatable. I see these women's channels and... I'm like where's the mess?! I saw you this morning, and you inspired me to start tackling it. Thanks so much

[@assassinspoiler3488]

Good that you will work together teaching your kids how to pick up and clean is a good thing my mom didn't teach those things I was ashamed of our house so I kept it clean as I could my mom worked a lot

[@neenabentley5875]

Found you via a shoutout from Midwest Magic Cleaning. Love this video. Keep doing what you do!

[@sarawood6032]

I did this a month ago. I got it all out. Felt huge guilt. But the girls have kept their room clean ever since. Plus we have started a new routine by cleaning up their room every night like pick up, sweep, ect. And they are proud of their room and its clean and orderly. Sometimes now their room is cleaner than the rest of the house 🤣

[@MomLikely]

Yes I feel that. I started my room after theirs because I want the same for me. ❤️🙌🏽 so happy to implement this also.!

[@ninamurillo7428]

Can use that cube like drawers for her clothes takes less space.

[@karenhoward8542]

Lovely fresh start. Now she has a place she can decorate as a "teenager" instead of a little girl. Thanks for giving her a space to grow and develop in.

[@karinliebtschokolade8157]

Great job! The room is cosy now. 👍🏼🍀

[@patsampson6990]

Hi! new viewer here, Midwest Magic Cleaning sang your praises today so I had to come check it out on your channel. Thanks so much for sharing your insights and techniques with viewers. I'll be enjoying your videos!

It was my 1st time viewing. I'm so glad your mentally healthy in spite of real-life upsets do happen with family. You're an intelligent wonderful person, as well as mom . My husband and I prayed God's continual guidance and blessings to your marriage and daughters! You're a gem!

WOW!!! You did all that in 4 hours. Amazing! Love your channel. You deserve to go out with your friend. Great inspiration.

[@MomLikely]

Thank you! ❤️✨

[@nutcase1995]

Thanks for the motivation!! I just went up to my bathroom and cleared out a garbage bag worth of stuff I didn't need, use, or want!

[@savanaashleigh626]

As someone who lived in a small house, having thing she manageable is so important. I’m working on getting things organized and everything having a spot. I also need to figure out a solution for my kids room, which is the biggest challenge.

[@MomLikely]

It’s a struggle. The cube organizers didn’t last for us and totes that are to big. I think the wall shelves are nice and maybe long shallow bin that can go under the bed. But I get it . I have tried so many things, I have just seen less is more until they can manage

[@sondrasix1668]

It looks fantastic 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@corrinnacorrinna5572]

We had limited space when our kids were home. We added a 2nd rod in the closet. It doubles the space & we had a half bed with dresser drawers built in the frame. It helped so much. Sometimes you find them at thrift shops. You're inspiring!!!

[@Partyontheceiling]

I love that you let her know you are always there to help her but also teaching to take care of her space.

[@miminana-hd6nf]

you are amazing. I am so glad I found your channel. I am also glad you acknowledge the youtubers with the "fake" messes. When you see some of the messes you know they have left their kids to go wild for several days in order to produce a mess to clean. Look forward to more videos from you.

[@doingslothstuffs]

I commented on the last video about how my kiddos are now older, but I did the same when they were younger. I actually had them keep 2 totes of toys (each) & 1 tote (each) went to the garage for storage for 3 months, then switched. This way they played with what they had & it was like new the next time they saw it. 🤣

[@melaniehancock2210]

It’s so great that you’re seeing a problem and finding ways to tackle it and taking action. Someone who has helped me SO much over the last few years is The Minimalist Mom. She’s AMAZING at helping us go through our things and let go of unnecessary inventory. I highly recommend you check her out!!

[@mariac6411]

The room looks amazing! ❤Great job! I would suggest a real dresser in place of the cube organizers and plastic drawers. I feel like ppl are always selling them for pretty affordable prices on Facebook marketplace and they can usually be sanded and painted to go with the design of the room. Real dressers make such a difference. I would also suggest you both looking through that save bin in about 6 months to see what she hasn’t played with and is willing to get rid of.

[@MomLikely]

Oh definitely she sometimes pulls a baby doll out to play with but it’s all baby dolls basically. They are large life size kind lol. I wanted the real one to. I really wanted an under storage bed like my husband and I have but they are expensive. She also decided she wanted the storage still kept in the closet so I went and got 2 and stacked them up so there are more drawers. She doesn’t like to hang things so I’m like as long as you can put it somewhere to stay clean lol

[@deloressproaps2859]

Hi I always watch your channel. I see you are tired of the kids not cleaning your room and just making a mess. They are older know to were they can keep a clean room, but if it's less in the room they it won't be junky. You are doing right by removing anything they don't need in there. You are a great mother continue to strive for the best.👍👍👍👍

[@MomLikely]

Thank you! ❤️ I’m definitely ready for more help.

[@OwnBestFriend]

Love the transparency!! Thank you for being honest and showing us the real and raw because holy crap it’s so hard!! Love to see a q and a from you!!

[@MomLikely]

Thank you. That’s funny I was thinking of asking for questions to see if there was enough for a Q n A. Do you have any questions?

[@PinkSheep2005]

I know this was months ago, but it was such a beautiful gift for your daughter 🤩 it looks great!

[@missmustache4207]

Midwest cleaning sent me to watch

[@bluestarzy1767]

I watched this guy about “feng shui” ways of doing things even in a small room. Get your daughter a bed that has 16”- 18” height from the floor. This will provide more storage space.

[@lifewithklc]

Yes!! Another room conquered 💪🏾

I just found your channel (Adam from Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended your channel) and I'm really digging your attitude. It never hurts to get preteen boys and girls used to life skills. 👍 I plan on binge watching this weekend.

[@bounsisayaket7373]

Platform beds with storage underneath or storage drawers will help with the spaces.

[@MomLikely]

I agree I have a small room and that’s what my husband and I have. They are expensive though, ideally a bed with drawers is most logical .

[@anianaomicorner302]

Same I always feel that I am overwhelmed cleaning my kids room my house is starting to look like a horder house putting everything in living room to toss stuff out

[@CRAZY927]

I was sent here from Midwest Magic Cleaning and so far I like his recommendation!

[@Photocardude]

You certainly got me motivated to do my boys bedroom during our 37 degree day here in Australia. I did exactly that through stuff out that really wasn't needed etc next room will be my daughters room again as she is one to get overwhelmed etc due to her disabilities

[@dorenedaniels7493]

God bless you ❤️🙏. And yes kids are kids and they have to learn the same as we did Great job mom

[@rachlim3]

Your last video I did do a deep clean for all my kiddos. And had them clean with me too. But I get you. I used to think like that too. Always felt like it's on me and I'm lazy. Sometimes I also think my habits are growing on them too. Because I'll do this one deep clean each week and tackle everything I can all in one day. Then next few days light cleaning and then back again to the same cycle. I've noticed they clean and do the same. They'll clean a deep clean once a week and then kind of let it go following days.

[@ReneeSunflower]

After your last video I cleaned my kids room. I couldn’t get rid of as much as I wanted because they had to go to bed but we’re going to go through everything this weekend.

[@vintagespider5627]

Hello, Midwest Magic cleaning sent me to watch your channel.

[@DivingwithDee223]

I love this “series” ! I’m sure you didn’t go into it thinking it would be technically a series but it is lol I would love to see a bathroom clean out! 😊

[@MomLikely]

Yes! The video this week is a whole house speed clean and the next is a bathroom cabinet clean out and hall closets. We only use what’s displayed in our bathroom so those other things have to go lol

[@karenmcneill2602]

I've just finished watching your declutter of the girls rooms and your clothes. Fantastic! I love that you started the girls rooms over again. It has encouraged me to sort out my sitting room. It is full of things that make me happy. Pink is the dominant colour lol. I have art, ceramics, glass, dolls, jewelry, stones, marbles etc. However! It is currently in complete disarray!! So thank you for your videos!

[@melanierose7283]

I love your video! I found you after hearing your honorable mention on Midwest Magic Cleaning channel. You're very inspiring. Great job!!

[@mariakayser8760]

Hello, I've watched only couple of your videos. I think you're really hard working and care for your family. I just wanted to say that your daughter needs much more storage to put her belongings, otherwise it'll always end up in mess. You could consider getting her some shelves between the bed and the desk also some hanging shelves over the desk and some desk organisation. Also from looking at the room layout seems to me better would be to swap the bed and the desk. The room would have more flow and it would be cosier. Anyway all the best.

[@jennacadorsey9427]

Hey I’m new to your channel. Such a refreshing space now! Glad to be here!

[@kittykooky]

Wow!! Another great video and that must of been a weight off your mind !! 💐

[@tonietteh2015]

I love how this room turned out too! You have beautiful hardwood floors ~ I bet you prefer to be able to see them 😉 When you mentioned anxiety and how so much in life the last few years has been " out of our control" and how that can add more stress to us I wholeheartedly agree! When I first began having panic attacks I soon realized it was not helped by the fact I felt like I had no control over things happening Then one day after I had a full on panic attack while starting to putting away my clean laundry.... I sat there on the floor, feeling weak after it passed .. then I told myself " I admit there's so much I cannot control. However, I can control how neat and orderly this sock drawer is..." So I pulled everything out and threw away the old holey socks and stuff I never wore. Put back in the stuff I wanted a d closed the drawer After that, I joked to myself when I felt panicky ..". Well I can control my drawers!". And it helped to laugh a bit, even stopped a few panic attacks from getting really going... Life is full of stuff we can't control.... But we women, we can control our drawers 😉

[@MomLikely]

I agree girl. I have been in the same situation I check to make sure I’ve eaten things suitable to vitamin intake, drank enough water, slept, and do the ungodly anxiety tasks in my home like vacuum and mop and do all the laundry sink feel more accomplished too.

[@Namasaty]

You are a BOSS! Moved 2 desks! and rehooked a computer! Honestly, my husband would have a heart attack if I attempted to move a computer. Thank you for this video. I threw away like 20 things I was just going to hold on to because I would use it in the future...like 3 years from now. How liberating to not be guilted by it (it--a thing that does not care if it hurts my feelings 😅)

[@MomLikely]

Absolutely!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

[@GinaD367]

Great job Momma!!!! Well done, wow, its crazy what can accumulate.

[@MomLikely]
