Hey Amanda, first off you look amazing🥰. Where I'm from (Barbados 🇧🇧) it's like continuously hot but now it's raining and I'm loving it. I love when you bring these long real time videos, so calming ugh. Seeing the boys help is the cutest thing🥰. Btw Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I was so excited to see some stuff already in stores. Stay blessed.

[@jos-1994]

Amanda, this video was a great way to start my eve. Long videos work for me but either way your videos are a treat. I cooked dinner along with you and enjoyed the chatty vlog. I enjoy the look and sound of the rain. It's not fun to commute in that downpour but at home it's very calming and relaxing. I've seen Christmas decor in some stores where I live. It's way too early for that. Also, why would someone decorate for Halloween over a month in advance? 🙈Love all of your recipes as always. I make the same garlic green beans. It's a delicious side that can be made all year round. Your Chilli, apple crisp and candied pecans made me very hungry as I cooked my own dinner 😁🍽

[@pamelamorehead9661]

I love rainy days and I always want to cook something special 👍😉

[@soniasantiago1411]

My 🏠 is definitely ready for fall but outside it is hot 🥵 we are in Florida.

[@juliefettig9359]

Hi Amanda!!! What wonderful recipies!!! Where can I find those recipe links?? I cant seem to find them!! Love your videos!!!

[@lmkluend94]

My mom taught my brothers and I how to cook, clean and do laundry when we were growing up. And now as adults we all have clean homes and cook meals for ourselves and our families. I definitely believe those are key traits to teach your children. My daughter is two and we are already teaching her to clean up after herself. 😊

[@morpheuszzz662]

I agree. I think I failed at that a little as a stay-at-home mom because I felt a little guilt about asking others to help with chores since it was "my job", if you know what I mean. One of those frustrating dichotomies in life. I believe SAHM's should receive more respect because we are on duty 24/7, yet I'm old enough to still be stuck in the attitude that holds us down as women that it is "our job" to do all of the homemaking duties simply because we don't earn a paycheck. I'm so glad to see so many young people knowing that does not have to be the case. It should be a shared job to a certain extent, just as parenting is. Trust me when I say we have to demand respect for ourselves or no one will even think to give it to us.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I love that! It’s so helpful to them when they grow up and move out 🤍

[@ThisCrazyLife]

@@morpheuszzz662 oh you absolutely didn’t fail! I have to be very conscious of it as well… it’s my nature to just do it all myself without asking for help. But I have to remember that not only should it be a shared responsibility, but in the end it will be a favor to them when they grow up. You’re amazing ♥️

[@morpheuszzz662]

@@ThisCrazyLife Thank you, Amanda. You are always so kind. 🥰

[@sherrylbarker1591]

I really love starting my Mondays with you. It is a great motivator to start the week. I enjoy the longer ones. If I need to pause, no big deal, I just go back when I am done with whatever. Some times I even pause to go do a chore. That is how you motivate me. :)

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Aw I’m sooo glad to hear that!! You’re amazing for tackling your to do list!

[@mudandglitter1609]

This!

[@marilynpruett4973]

I taught my two boys how to look after themselves. They are both able to do what's needed and more. Your boys are just so sweet. They sure do love their mamma!!! 😊

[@lucidlori]

It's a pleasure watching your channel, as always. Here in South Africa, we have a pretty moderate climate all year round, so housekeeping doesn't come with some of the challenges people in other countries might face, BUT as a work-from-home mom, I'd have to say that having a cleaning routine that is staggered according to daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly tasks is a lifesaver. I get anxious when there's clutter, or when the dishwasher isn't emptied, or when the ironing basket heaps up, so my tasks are split to help me cope. I hope this tip is useful to someone somewhere.

[@susanbiskopski8390]

I love when my kids get involved in the kitchen with me! So important for them to see as fun at this age instead of a chore!

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

this is actually a very cool concept for a video it's nice to see you live in the everyday life of the world aside from every body You are not like anyone and this is what makes you a special and exceptional person. I wish you a happy life and to everyone who reads my comment ❤️🥰💖😍😘🍓♥️♥️🍓🥰♥️

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Aww thank you! Your sweet comment totally made me smile ☺️

[@susanhollis5015]

I started cooking at the age of nine, out of necessity. Hunger is a good teacher. My childhood was complicated. Now, 62 years later, I don't look like I was ever hungry a day in my life! God is absolutely good! 😂❤

[@terryhanna777]

🥰 I loved watching the boys work with you in the kitchen!! They are so cute and their expressions when they were happy with something they did were priceless!! Lucky boys with such a great Mom!!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Haha they were so proud of doing the “grown up” jobs!

[@KS-go2qz]

When I feel like I’m not enjoying homemaking, I try to make it a point to pray for my family. I’ll pray over my son or hubby while I do their laundry or pick up their messes or pack lunches. It helps me remember that it’s a blessing because the messes mean I have family.

[@dinarubin4828]

Amanda you are the calm to my day! You inspire me to love on my home and enjoy making great recipes. Eating paleo makes me feel so much better so I am motivated to start that way of eating again. Loved seeing the boys help out in the kitchen. I believe the the best way of learning is doing. Way to go. ❤️

[@joyceheaton2406]

I think it's so sweet that your boys wanted to help you in the kitchen that's memories that you will never forget

[@kathystallings7088]

So happy for the boys to get their rooms made over! I also look forward to seeing you get your new cooktop etc. for the kitchen as you do cook a lot. I so enjoy your recipes as well. Thank you so much for sharing and motivating all of us! Happy Fall!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I can’t wait to share the boys’ makeovers with you guys!! Happy Fall, Kathy!!

[@vvbistro2607]

What I love about you Amanda is the calmness you bring to my life despite our age difference, my daughter is 36 today and my son turns 34 in November. I love the way you conduct yourself and the wonderful mother and wife you are. I am so different from my extended family and they are not sure why I would want to change my colour schemes for years every season, but finding you, then others doing similar things on KZbin makes me realise that I am one of many and not alone in doing this. Then decorating for Christmas I go all out, loving every minute as I have a huge collection spanning 40 years but the child in me rejoices in old favourites and the new additions that find their way to my place yearly. Here in Australia where I live, Christmas is already in some of the stores. Years ago I would have said it was too early but since COVID you have to prepare so far ahead because if you can't find it in your local store you have to order it from their online store and the wait can be long. So the early bird gets the worm and there is so much less stress when I do things earlier and I love being organised. I have nearly finished my Christmas shopping. By doing things early I get to bask in the meaning of Christmas and the magic of it all. Love the sweet potatoes!!!

[@gracefullyjaz88]

Very warm and cozy vibe for my favorite season Autumn 🍁🍂❤ Can’t wait to try the recipes because your homemaking videos give me so inspiration (as well as all of your other content😊) Also, you turned me on to the bubble up brush a few years ago and I haven’t look back since! 😂

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you!! 💕 I looove the bubble brush, I’m so happy to hear you do too!! :)

[@SherGregory]

I've been watching your videos for several years now and I haven't seen a single one that I didn't love! You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age, I'm old enough to be your mom but watching you and your family is a sweet reminder of when I was raising my boys. I work from home so I often play your videos while I work. I love the music you choose for your videos and I have purchased quite a few items from your videos that have made my life easier! Have a wonderful week with your fantastic husband and adorable sons!

[@Momof75592]

Children are such a precious gift from God!❤ Love your sweet family❤

[@judyshallstrom415]

So happy to see this. Now that the hurricane has moved on and electricity restored, I need to get busy cleaning the house, and the yard. I AM VERY GREATFUL THAT the path changed, but VERY SAD about the area just south of us. Please send good thoughts to those who were not so fortunate! Many lost their homes and everything in them.🙏

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Exactly!!! Learned as a kid. Taught my four boys. They are teaching their children! ❤❤❤

[@jenniferotto3959]

I watch you while I clean. It motivates me quite a bit! Because of this, I prefer the longer videos. But I watch them all irregardless of length.

[@maryhill7240]

Absolutely love the feeling that rainy days bring. As the world gets washed outside my window I love to sit down with a good movie, popcorn , and hot chocolate 😊

[@Ginawool22]

My mom has always struggled with OCD and depression. It was so hard growing up. My mom never let me help in the kitchen because she said we would make messes. I'm 24 with my own family and still learning to cook, clean and other things I was never taught. I love that you let your boys help out! It's so good for them to learn these things 💓

[@brandie6652]

♡

[@patriciamathesom4036]

I love that you have your children help in everything you can. They will grow up to be so self sufficient. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I definitely want them to know how to handle things when they grow up 🥰

[@irenemorley75]

I showed my daughter everything, cook, clean, how to use a washing machine, I showed how to budget, pay bills, never to have credit and store cards and I am pleased that she listened and has kept to this.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

That’s so great!!

[@jennmcginnis3662]

My mom taught my sister and I to cook, and we had chores to do at a young age. Before both of us left for college, we were taught one dish to make completely from scratch. It was so fun cooking the dishes along side her and a wonderful memory. My sister has done that with both of her kids and it is so cool to watch.

[@carolkoehn6225]

This video with your children involved brings back so many memories of when our Sons were home. Thank you for this video. We love all your videos. Thank u for taking us along with you.

[@racheldyer9250]

I have celiac disease and have to eat gluten free, so I love when you share these recipes! Thank you so much for all the support, encouragement, and motivation you give.

[@lindasoto7554]

Yes my mom taught us 4 girls everything we know and I'm glad she did. I did the same with my kids. I had 2 boys now both grown men, one a firefighter and the younger one is a professional mechanic and I'm blessed and very proud of both of them. When we get together they always talk about the times we spent in the kitchen together cooking and talking. Those are some of their best moments with me. Your video brought back so many memories. Thank you

[@jeanettelawless2374]

You are an awesome mother, and a wonderful cook? The time spent with your boys is never wasted. ❤️❤️ I have taught all of my grandchildren to cook from very young. As they have grownup, they still love to come and cook their favourite meal in my kitchen. I just love it and feel very blessed.

[@vickilewis9029]

I always look forward to seeing you on Monday. Loved all the recipes today. Going to definitely give them a try. Your chicken salad looked yummy however I do mine a little different since I am the only one eating it. I mix mine as follows: Can chicken breast, Sweet Salad Pickles, red seedless grapes, chopped apple, 1/2 tablespoon of Duke Mayo, When I eat it I put it on a bed of lettuce, sliced strawberries, and peaches. It is my favorite meal. It was wonderful to see the boys helping you in the kitchen. That's how I learned to cook and the importance of cleaning as you go. Love the recipe for the sweet potatoes my favorite fall food since my husband makes sure they are part of our garden. Yes I try to switch up my cleaning habits because it's going to have the same results right. Thank you for sharing today. God bless and have a wonderful week. Till next time.

[@karenturner7983]

My siblings and I were taught at home through chores. We taught our children as well. I worked at a school for several years and was very surprised at what children didn't know how to do. It makes you wonder how they are doing as adults. Thanks for sharing.

[@jacquelinewest5887]

No 1 tip would be seek motivation. Watching you helps me a lot. Do something each day. Don’t be hard on yourself. Count your blessings. Staying positive so helps to keep you going with home making. No 1 fan 🇦🇺

[@chrisjchin]

I would love to see an actual checklist version of the new and improved cleaning routine you land on. I am having the hardest time finding the right one too!

[@ShopAtSpicywedding]

You are always so sweet with your decorate videos. Love listening to the rain too ❤️

[@virginiascheidel4362]

Amanda do what ever is. Best for you. I enjoy all your videos and it is nice to see the boys helping you. I raised 3 boys so I know where your coming from. Today they are all adults and so self sufficient. Just relax and when it gets done it gets done. It will always be there

[@misslou43]

I totally get how change can throw a routine off. I had recent heart surgery and recovery and all my normal routine is off. Now that my health is improved I'm just trying to get back into doing the things that I normally did but with adjustments for limitations. So I love anything that shows new routines/short cuts! Love the gluten free recipes. Hard to find them. It gets hard trying to always change or adapt regular recipes for diet restrictions. Love your smile!! Have a great week!! 🥰

[@jenwilhelmsen9160]

🥰 always watching until the end! By teaching our children simple homemaking skills helps them become great adults, it will also make your boys become good "partners" with someone down the road!! You're a good Mama Amanda!

[@annamiser3767]

I use the same ingredients, but I use red or green grapes. And I add sweet relish and sweet gherkins chopped. So, so good. I toast buns in skillet smeared with butter. I use hamburger buns. I enjoy your videos a lot. When I need motivation to clean house I go straight to your cleaning videos. God’s blessings to you all.

[@princessprilly80]

I love rainy chilly fall days. It’s my favorite time of year. I feel so happy to be home with my family lately. It’s easy to get bogged down by the monotony of being a mom sometimes so I am choosing to be grateful ♥️

[@jillderfus7517]

Yes please. I need a routine. It is perfect timing as I am starting a new job and our schedule is becoming more regular.

[@edwilliams6808]

moving things adding something from another spot in your home is refreshing

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Totally! It makes a big difference!

[@mamablue007]

My #1 tip is to clean a little bit at a time throughout the day. I work from home and have 3 small children all 3 and under. I'm also in the 1st trimester with #4 so I get tired very easily. So I try to take care of cleaning as it needs to be done rather than letting the mess sit and coming back to it later. It just helps keep things from building up and me from feeling overwhelmed.

[@joyceheaton2406]

I think you are spot-on about teaching your kids and such an early age I was taught at a very early age I watched my mom cook I helped my mom cook and when my mom went to work I cooked for the family and there was eight of us so when I cook to this day I cook large amounts of food because that's what I'm used to doing but I love cooking and I learned at a very early age how to wash clothes clean and who knew that that would be what I would do in my adult life and that was to have a cleaning business so I'm glad that I watched my mom do all of that because all of that is a passion of mine I love to cook clean decorate love doing all of that

[@cathrynkolkman1811]

I try to clean as I cook, saves a huge clean up after dinner. Plus I take a few minutes after dinner to pick up any clutter around the house and put items back where they belong. This has worked well for me for years☀️

[@motivatedmom6806]

Love watching your videos. I have 3 kids out of my 6 still at home. I have realized that cleaning up as I go when cooking I have hardly any mess at the end. With dishes I put the dishes in the dishwasher shortly before my kids go to bed and run it. In the morning there is usually only a couple cups. In the morning I unload the dishwasher and put the couple cups in anything else one n of my boys does the rest or I do. Each of my kids are responsible for 1 room. When it's the kitchen I help on certain things. We have down sized cups etc in the kitchen 1 plastic plate and 1 glass plate per child and us as well as cup with exeption silverware. Omg the dishes are so much easier to handle. Thank you for all the videos you make.

[@jacquiebeattie649]

Always a joy to see the boys. Yes..... we were taught at home all chores. Maybe that's why I have OCD.. My Dad was Military extremely strict.

[@kittytirado8893]

This was so nice to see you with your boys cooking and cleaning.Is very important for them to learn to do this things.😊Amanda you’re are a very sweet mom.❤loved this video.😊

You are doing your boys a great service by teaching them home making skills! I was taught to clean and cook as a child. I still love to cook and clean! 😊❤️-Joanna

[@brendamyers8467]

Hi Amanda, I feel the key to housework is being grateful. For me i didn't have much growing up so now I'm bless with a beautiful home way much better then I had. I love Fall and Christmas, I love cleaning up to make ready for decoration. Yes, here in South Carolina, the stores are putting out there Christmas decorations. I love all ur videos from cleaning to cooking .

[@auntievk9852]

I learned to cook and clean as a child and my children were taught these things also ❤️

[@deanngallegos-standley8874]

Those recipes look great. I had my boys cook with me in the kitchen but now they are grown on their own with their families and they are all amazing cooks. I could almost smell this video. ❤. I love cooking when the weather is rainy or snowy. It really does make the house cozy and warm

[@ThisCrazyLife]

That is such a neat success story!! Thank you for sharing! I can only hope my boys will be the same! :)

[@saraventeicher2022]

🥰 I think it's super important to teach kids how to clean and do laundry and such. it's important they appreciate what it takes and know how to do it themselves!

[@jacquelinewest5887]

[@jeanb4230]

I feel so blessed that I have a home to live in and that I actually got to pick it out where I was going to live so my favorite part is keeping it clean and decorate it beautifully and making the house into a home

[@marydanielle7183]

I listen to music or a YT video review on various things. As a homemaker I definitely have to change things up at times to make cleaning exciting. Whether that is getting something new or rearranging furniture.

[@judybyers8252]

I know it’s not for everyone,but I always try to clean as I go when cooking. Love your videos. 💕

[@jackandlill]

Alright my friend...I am going to put you on the big tv in the living room - so I can see you from the kitchen & do the dishes that have been sitting there for literal days!!! Uuughh! Sometimes it is so hard bcse you know they are just going to fill up again on the next meal....but there is No Doubt - it makes me feel so much better & more like cooking when I am starting with a clean space! So, as always - thank you Amanda for motivating me when nothing else can seem to.....🥰💗💜💙❣

[@debbieh.4567]

🤗 Enjoy you and your family. The boys are adorable! I also taught my boys to cook and clean and they now do those things with their kids!

[@janettzaragoza5325]

Hi Amanda, I ❤️ watching your videos! So motivating but still calming sensation with your warming personality and voice. It depends on the day sometimes I listen to music while I'm cleaning other days watching videos like u. I love cleaning my house. Makes me happy 🙂 and Im teaching my kids to clean their bedroom and help with some chores around the house. Blessings to your family. 🥰

[@susanguyer8146]

My advice for cleaning and homemaking would be, on days you just don't feel like doing anything, pick one easy and quick task to do. Sometimes that will give you a quick start. I was on cancer treatment most of the year last year and still feel very exhausted. This really helps me get a little bit done. Also mixing up your decor or add small things. That also keeps me enthusiastic. I love your videos!❤

[@elainecolner6557]

🥰 I loved watching you make these recipes with your boys. It reminds me of whenever my kids were small. Your videos are just so nice and calming. Thank you so much for sharing😍

[@sharonfaust2181]

Those recipes sound delicious. I will have to try them. It takes patience letting kids help especially when you can do it faster but it is a good learning experience for them.

[@susancarroll1807]

Since I am allergic to celery, for my fall chicken salad, I put in capers, Granny Smith apples, walnuts and cranberries. My dressing is mayo and a bit of balsamic vinegar. So yummy.

[@loripretti843]

Thank you sooo much for sharing your recipes with us!!! I can't wait to try them!!! I really enjoy your cooking!!! My Mama started me and my Brothers cooking when we were 5 yrs old!!! By the time we were 10 we were cooking full meals!!! We didn't mind the clean up or dishes either!!! No dishwasher in our house!!! I enjoy your vlogs very very much!!! God Bless!!!

Great video Amanda! A little bit of everything and the recipes look awesome. I definitely will try and make them for sure. Thanks!

[@paulakelley4845]

Great video! I was brought up to help with after dinner clean-up. My Mom would wash and I would dry and put away the dishes. This gave us time together to talk about our days. The steam would rise from the hot, soapy water, and if got too hot, my Mom would open a window. Thanks for helping me remember those times.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

That’s a sweet memory!!

[@racheldyer9250]

I always clean the kitchen and do the dishes after dinner. This allows me to relax for the evening, go to bed without it looming over me, and wake up in the morning to a fresh clean kitchen. Then, if the dishwasher was run that night, I unload it in the morning or afternoon and it's ready to be loaded throughout the day.

[@ishamahapatro977]

I am so happy to see the boys after a long time. They're sweethearts 😍 and noah have grown so old. I can still remember small noah in Utah home. 🤗

[@becconner1873]

I love how the boys want to help cook they are leaning new skills that will help them grow up and cook nice and healthy food and know what is in they food and willing to try the food they are cooking as well as it is all fun in cooking but there is other things too it as well

[@katieschmelz5900]

To answer about lighting a candle while cleaning-yes! To motivate myself to clean, I won’t light a candle until the room is all finished. The warmth and scent makes the freshly cleaned room even more cozy, and it’s kind of a reward. Have done this for years! 🤍

[@SharaLee60]

Ahhh...Amanda watching the boys & you cook in the kitchen is priceless! 🥰 I didn't do a lot of cooking or cleaning 🤔 when I was young. I did know how some things worked etc. but not a very good. I took home etc in High School learn some there. My kids, I taught them how how to clean & vaccum, cook, wash dishes. My youngest daughter could cook very well & my other daughter could clean very well. My boys could do both, especially my oldest son could clean a whole house & could cook a dinner too. My youngest son did too eventually! Both good workers at their jobs. The oldest is a truck driver & my youngest has his own company for refrigeration etc! I love your videos. You have a lot of patience! I did too to a point! My kids do say I kept them busy & out of trouble. They played sports too after School! Thanks for sharing your recipes! Going to have to try them soon! ♥️☺️

[@pam8874]

😁🙃😁We had chores when I was growing up . I made sure all my children knew how to cook and clean before they left home.

[@lucilenedotoli]

😍😍😍 love it. my mom used to cook and teach us everything. I'm happy I learned from her your boys will be forever thankful to you

[@Shaundouglas8693]

❤ I learnt as a child how to run a house. Pay bills, shopping,cleaning, make beds change sheets & how to do the lawn & some home maintenance. It’s a skill that is lacking now a days . Keep up the great work you are raising 3 young men with the skills they need in life.

That’s amazing! Your parents must have taught you well. :)

When I make chili I always add the water that is packed with the beans , thats where all the good vits are . Helps thicken it also .

[@brittneyshaw6895]

I just wanted to say that you look GREAT! I know you mentioned it was part of a diet change due to hashimotos but I also personally know how nice it can be to hear. I've made some changes for health myself and it has been so nice to get to pull out some clothes I never thought I'd fit in again and be able to wear them. I hope your journey brings you some relief in terms of your health!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you, so much!! I really appreciate the sweet comment. :)

[@ConservativeVeteran]

🥰 You are so correct that kids need to know how to do chores, cooking, etc. Very important. Love that Liam and Noah wanted to help you cook and clean. So cute! Can't wait to try those sweet potatoes!

[@socarrasco]

I loved cooking with my mom❤ She also taught us how to do our laundry etc while we were young. I’m trying to do the same with my daughter.
