OUR MESSY HOUSE TOUR | Getting Started FlyLady | Extreme Clean With Me | Cleaning Motivation

[@roxierocha698]

Watching you Feb.1st 2023. You said it was Feb. 1st in the video...and I thought what a coincidence I'm watching you exactly 2 years later to the day. 😊 wish you were still making videos...loving your content!!!!

I love how open you are about your starting point! I started a house-wide declutter a couple years ago, and what a difference it has made in my day to day life! It’s hard to get started, but once you find that rhythm and can look back and see your progress, it’s sooooo worth it!

[@TheDovesNest]

Thank you! I don't believe in showing "highlight reels"🤣 no matter how embarrassing the real deal is! It really is so worth it... I'm just about ready for round two... I'll call it, "the hidden spaces!"🤣 I currently can't open a drawer or my kids' closets without thinking, Ughhh Declutter all the things!

Thank you for the messy house tour. It is so nice to see people's "before's." At first I was worried that it was going to be too clean (and it is compared to mine lol), however after seeing your side of the closet and hearing your comment about how the bagged clothing has been on the floor from when you moved in 3 years ago, I thought, "Okay, she truly is someone trying to improve and not just saying she's trying (when you really already have it down pat). I can trust and relate to this person!" Thank you so much for going to the effort of putting your content online to help those of us who are seeking help and just have no idea where to begin! I am finally really, really encouraged (and I've been watching cleaning and organizing videos for years searching for what clicks with me).

Thank you! Yes those bags literally sat there for 3 years! hahaha I hate a lot of the cleaning videos out there, because the people seem to be naturally tidy people who ENJOY cleaning. And they're cleaning already clean houses! NOT ME!!! I hated cleaning, I don't know what I'm doing, mess follows me everywhere, and I have no system.🤣But it is getting better! My husband actually "brags" about me now saying that our house has gotten SO MUCH BETTER since I started in February.💪🏼

[@averildaniels7479]

I appreciate your transparency so much. I always feel like I’m behind the ball.. sigh. I am still working on decluttering. I almost went yay... because your house lets me know there is hope for me yet... lol..

[@TheDovesNest]

It's just the old addage, If I can do it, you can do it! I hate that social media is everyone's highlight real. It's not real life. THIS is real life🤣 I never ever want to make anyone feel inadequate or inferior, or present my life to be something it's not... because I am a HOT MESS MOM! Is it embarrassing, yes... but so what?! I'm working on it, and other people can to.

What a smart idea to get the place cleaned after construction

[@maggiel6597]

How long does it take ur house to recover from messy to tidy stage?

[@HassleFreeLiving]

Yes there's alot to do. Yes there's like 9 loads of laundry. But it didn't get messy in a day and it won't get clean in a day. Work on a load a day. You can do anything in 15 minutes. As someone who has gone through the baby steps, I know you can do this,

[@TheDovesNest]

YESSSSS!!!! I just re-read that quote in Sink Reflections, and YESSS! I have to keep reminding myself, progress not perfection... and one day it will all seem manageable (at least I hope!)🤔

[@mrsgreenacres]

I love your chuckle.

[@TheDovesNest]

Thank you so much!🤣

[@marykimble5214]

Just make the gingerbread house now (or post it for free on Facebook or something). Don't just throw it away. 😁

[@TheDovesNest]

That's a great idea! Thank you!

Your mother didn't teach you how to be a mother and keep a clean home? o.O Was your mother a hoarder with a messy vehicle and home, too? o.O G-d forbid.
