*NEW* DEEP CLEAN WITH ME-EXTREME CLEANING MOTIVATION-EASY CROCKPOT MEAL-JESSI CHRISTINE

[@vlk40]

I’m a Scrooge, so many years of not enough money but always feeling I needed to give my best. And you’re right that it always falls on us women to get it all done. Cards, budgeting, shopping, wrapping, decorating etc. EXHAUSTING! We just welcomed our first grandbaby to the family so I’m hoping my interest in it all returns to make it special for him ❤

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Congrats on your new grand baby!

[@nicolailt]

I am a 12 year old girl and I am really excited bout christmas because I just love this cozy and aesthetic moment to do things with your family , especially opening the christmas gifts, it feels so nice to make some candles on and just chill or go outside and play with snow and do things like baking cookies decorating the christmas tree, etc.. hope y'all have a perfect christmas! I just love it ! It Is my favorite Event in the year!

A thought on the photos....when I update photos, I store the old photos in the frame as well. New photo up front and older photos behind. Eliminates the need to find storage and keeps them safe. My mom always did this with our school photos. Hope that helps. Happy cleaning!!!

That’s what I used to do as well but these are not framed photos like that so it’s not possible 😭

[@terizelickman5429]

@@KeepCalmAndClean Okay new to your channel so I'm guessing canvas photos?? I would get the xl vacuum bags from Hefty and vacuum seal them to protect that way you could store anywhere and they would be protected from dust etc. I bought some recently on Amazon to store seasonal pillows and blankets and they worked great.

[@Kara57212]

Hi Jessi, I really thought there was something wrong with me because these past two years I have not been in the mood for Christmas. Hearing it from you I feel a little better that I’m not alone. It really does have to do with all the stress of making sure everything is done and as perfect as can be within one month. Of course seeing my kids open there presents on Christmas Day makes me happy and I can breathe again lol. And the comment about the laundry taking to long and by the time it’s done I’m pretty much done is very relatable. Thanks Jessi for the great video!

[@jennifernewberry2996]

Put the handle of your bag over the faucet to hold it open with the bag itself sitting in the sink and peel directly into the bag. When you are done you can just lift the bag with all the peeling already inside and toss it! My hubby came up with that idea and it works perfectly! Occasionally if you are a messy peeler you may have to pick up a stray piece that missed the bag but the majority of it is ready to just toss. 😉

[@ASheets09]

So glad to know im not the only mom who feels this way about Christmas. After 2 kids and money ups and downs I'm just like o geez here we go again. So thanks for sharing that because I thought bad of myself over it.

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

You aren’t alone at all but make your own traditions. Kids remember time spent together not presents. It’s not about how many presents they get but more about the memories made. Cookies, movies, going to see lights ect. ♥️

[@danaellison8186]

Love this video! I clean like you and think about germs to! I don’t know if it’s my anxiety or my ADHD. I agree with you on Christmas it always falls on us women and then we go overboard. I have to listen to music when I clean to. I think maybe get storage containers store those pictures I’m like those huge bags to vacuum bags I forgot what they are called and put them in storage containers maybe store under beds or garage or storage building and do like you said give them to children! They will love it! Again thank you so much for inspiration to clean and all your ideas. Have a great weekend

I love the holiday season, but I think it’s because we have established simplicity in our home. We do a tree & some decorations and things, but I have teenagers that really do have a lot. We buy clothes & a pair of shoes. They get to choose 3 items (with a dollar limit attached) & that’s it. I refuse to drive myself crazy running around and doing everything basically leading up to 1 day. It’s much more enjoyable as a parent and not as much pressure. Christmas Eve we tend to make a few cookies and watch a holiday movie. It’s what works for us!

I love holidays in general because I love making them special for my kids and even my husband lol. Christmas is my favorite! Is it stressful? Yes! But it’s totally worth it in my opinion. The memories we make are irreplaceable. I have 4 year old twins, 16 & 18 year old daughters and a 23 year old stepson. Every year since they were little their friends tell me they wish their moms did these things. They always look so proud when those things are said so that’s my motivation. Lol because it is hard and stressful. I just hope they look back one day when they have kids of their own and truly understand and appreciate it all. To me, it’s worth every bit of it. I just want you to know you’re not alone with feeling the stress but as mamas we always keep it going one way or another. 😅 But anyway, the joy that comes from seeing my kids faces light up when I decorate is what motivates me and makes me excited to do it. It doesn’t matter to me how tired I am doing it all. ❤

My kids are older, well grown, so over the years, the little Christmas spirit I had had dwindled. My youngest was actually born on Christmas, which made it even more stressful because I had to do something for both. I only put up a tree and the bare minimum, but nothing goes up at my house until after Thanksgiving! Skipping over Thanksgiving is a huge pet peeve of mine!

[@krystlemyers9338]

I actually feel good about christmas this year. No one is getting gifts for extended family just kids only and we are going to do white elephant instead. What a weight lifted off of me. We also are just meeting up for desserts and having our own dinners at our own homes so that's a load off too. I am much happier about christmas this year. Maybe adopt some of what we are doing to take some pressure off and then you can feel better about the season :)

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

That does sound so much better! The prob for us is we always travel around Christmas but I did finally stand up a few years ago and say that we won’t come on Christmas anymore. That’s for us at home.

I love Christmas. We are decorated already. But I say if decorating stresses you out, then don’t! It’s ok to just put up a tree! Take the pressure away to do what everyone else does. We don’t do a lot of gifts for the rest of the fam because we just can’t afford to. Something small and simple, and the rest is for the kids. 😁

[@Brittany_Carroll]

I always start Christmas shopping super early, like in September. I buy a little at a time so it’s not so much to do all at once. We also decorate on Halloween… we don’t celebrate Halloween so we do Christmas decorating instead! I think by spreading it all out over a couple of months it helps it not be so overwhelming. Gift buying is the hardest 😬

You are so right!! You are prepared. I wait until the last minute and that’s my fault.

[@anora787]

So needed this motivation today and lovely family photo! Also tip for kitty, put a little cat nip on the scratch may motivate her to scratch it. Just sprinkle a little over it. Also I would keep spraying her when you see her scratch your rug. Lets her know it’s not allowed. We had our Cat since it was a baby and I was able to train ours to only scratch his scratcher box and scratching post. Hope Kitty does better. 😊

You will have to let me know if that’s where you found them I’m just really curious if they fell behind your drawers like mine did when I lose something I always look in the most non-descriptive area that they would be and normally that’s where I will find things it’s too funny but if you are anything like me it will bother me till I find something I have to know where it’s that I guess that’s my OCD. Plus I have my own cleaning business so I’m always lane to know where things are at all times it’s just part of who I am but hope you find them , Those look like really good sheets I haven’t looked in your description box yet on what kind of sheets those are but I like those where did you get those?

My dishes were doing the same, and I called our appliance person and they came out suggested the filter clean like you did but also told me if I’m using pods and not liquid to just throw the pod in the bottom off the dishwasher and not to put it in the little door so when it does the pre wash it will cover the dishes in sudds and help soften any foods before the initial wash!

I do think in the beginning, I may have picked her up and put her on it.

Since my kids are now adults the excitement is not there like it once was. However, I really enjoy my decor, but it wears me out putting it up. I have started putting it out a little earlier than normal just to stretch it out over a longer period of time so I don't feel as rushed. Hallmark christmas movies always helps to get me in the mood. I peel my potatoes over some paper towel. For my pictures that are like 8 x 10 or smaller sized I put them in photo albums. Anything larger, you can try finding artwork portfolios books that will hold them. I have gotten mine at hobby lobby when they are on sale. They are back with the actual painting supplies and canvas section. It at least keeps them organized.

[@faithbenedict7823]

I used to hate (more like extreme anxiety) Christmas time because of all the things that you listed (also because I have 2 kids with november birthdays, how am I supposed to get you THE BEST THING EVER for your birthday and then the following month get you another best thing ever?!?! IMPOSSIBLE) it's going to sound extreme and it felt a little extreme the first Christmas that I did this, but I told my kids that birthdays are for them and Christmas is for the family. So my kids don't get presents (from me) on Christmas and I explained to the rest of my family that I won't be getting anyone gifts. It really helped hammer in the concept that Christmas and holidays in general are for spending time with friends and family and not about the gift. I get them stocking things but it's extremely minimal. I live near Branson, MO and I just really love the Christmas spirit that they have there so I book a long vacation for the kiddos and I there and we just do things that I think bring the holiday spirit to life. And when we go and spend time with family, all the pressure is off because I didn't spend $8 billion dollars on things they won't use. ALSO, I really hate the crash that happens after all the gifts have been opened. Everyone is so excited to open the gifts and then once they're all opened, they're like, now what?? So we just avoid that all together by watching movies, making cookies, hot chocolate, playing games, coloring, swimming at the hotel pool HAHAHA, Christmas lights and music... you know the drill. It gives me the energy to go the extra mile with decorating and coordinating movies and holiday treats because I'm not using it to go shopping and gift wrapping. I have a 10, 6, and 5yr old so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I do a few decor pieces around the living room but I don't go all out. Also we don't buy gifts, instead we do acts of service such as last year I helped my husband clean out the garage. That was my gift to him. As far others, we just do acts of service for them instead of buying gifts. We mainly buy gifts cards for birthdays and that's it. Also can you tell me what Christmas songs you used in this video? Do you get them from epidemic sounds?

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

That’s such a nice way to do things tho! Acts of service are soooo amazing. Way underrated!

I'm sure I may have more after continuing watching but really quick...and this may be a dumb place to check but depending on how you put the sheets away in the drawer, did they maybe get stuck inside one of the fitted sheets🤔 may be a crazy thought but aside from the fairies taking them thats all I got lol. (fairies take and misplace alot at my friends house) :) Def not a scrooge but I feel the EXACT same about Christmas!! I'm prob going to have to get a small tree this year because I'm never going to be able to get our tree down from the attic by myself this year while he's gone. For peeling potatoes I use a strainer in the sink however using a bag means no extra dish to clean so I will def be trying that!!!!! Great tip!! My husband used to snore until finally, after telling him forever to get a sleep study. Now he has a CPAP and its MUCH better!! I wrote down the recipe and will def be trying. Thank you again for another awesome motivating and helpful tip video!!!!!

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

I thought the same!!! I even looked but no and I looked behind the drawer as well! I do need to take it completely out tho and see because if they aren’t there then the Fairies def took them lol

I like to celebrate the holidays as they come---I dont decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving---usually the day after and I take them down after New Years---My kids --are now 21 so Christmas isn't so big for us anymore--they work and buy what they want so its hard to enjoy getting stuff for them---We do enjoy spending the day at home--sleeping in then opening gifts and having breakfast and usually a late lunch early supper---

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Sounds so nice! I love a low key Christmas!

I love you’re bedroom windows. Whenever you clean in there I think what a great view to wake up too… ❤Also, I know having anxiety and a little one can keep you kinda contained but- would you consider doing an outdoor vlog or a get ready with me or grocery haul maybe slip that in a cleaning video or make it it’s own video?! ❤😊

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Do you follow me on Instagram? I do a lot more of that there but I will def consider maybe adding a mini vlog to the ending of one of my videos 😜

[@tinawest2405]

@@KeepCalmAndClean I do- I have less of a habit to hop on Insta but I will now. Haha!! I do tik tok ( brain sucking) ugh! But so good 😂 and here. Thanks!

[@alicjafronczak6298]

I think that Christmas decoration shoulg start at the beginig of december. Never understand those who start at first of november. In Poland we usually start decorate after six oh december. I think its ok.

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Some people just really love it and get excited and also they like to have their decor out more than 3-4 weeks. It’s understandable it’s just not for me. 🙂

[@rubymunozcruz2933]

Hello, I decorate the day after Thanksgiving. I decorate for my daughter. I believe if she was older I wouldn’t decorate. For now I want her to have nice memories.

[@heatheroberhau6603]

Now that my kids are older, I flat out tell them I hate Xmas. It’s nothing but work for me - and we have large families so it’s a LOT of work. I also do Xmas cookies which has grown each year, host Xmas Eve and Xmas morning. Thanksgiving is my favorite. Let’s just get together and eat 🤣

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

It’s so much!!

We tend to put so much pressure on ourselves this time of year. Let's remember why we celebrate Christmas, the Birth of Jesus Christ. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas season. ✨️💕

[@ams91681]

I LOVE Christmas but go into a big depression starting in a few days following that last until spring starts. I'm about half done with my Christmas shopping. I wanna decorate but wont because I know I'll be sick of it before Christmas if I decorate now.

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

I totally get that! I do too. I think a lot of us do.

[@jennymac7372]

Have you tried looking for the pillow cases in the clean sheets, in your blanket storage, or in a sock drawer 😂 That’s where I usually find mine when I loose them! Yes, Christmas is a lot of work! 🤦‍♀️ Oh, I need to try the Sirloin Tip Roast next week!!! 😋 🍽

[@KeepCalmAndClean]

Yes! I looked for them for 30 mins everywhere!! So crazy.
