Spring Housekeeping Habits

[@sharonc1326]

It makes me happy to know you and your brother are so close and that you can be there for each other and your families. I’ve been close with my brother too over the years, so I understand what a gift that is. Thank you for sharing 💕🌸

[@marisamartinez6573]

This might be a silly video request but I would love to see your favorite cleaning tools. Your steam mop, vacuum, handheld vacuum, cleaning products, etc.. and another video of your daily upkeep/cleaning routine

[@racheltalbott]

That's a great video idea. =) I will do that soon! xo

[@Diana-yc4rn]

Please post often! Your channel is helping me find peace and watching one of your videos has become my morning ritual. I've been your subscriber although thru different accounts from the time u started your channel. Love you Rachel!

[@Villa246]

🌻 Thank you I agree with you about it never being perfect, just doing the best we can. May I add, also, without feeling guilty to live up to standards of what we see on social media. Btw I have the same concept for my tea cabinet. I wanted to look for a really nice tea organizer and I was about to donate a wooden organizer for utencils and my husband said, "Hey! You can use that just turn it to the side!" So I did and I love it! 🥰 Not sure if that's how you have it, it looks like, but if you do how awesome! 🤗

[@stephslife4628]

Yay! Finally first to comment lol. Love you and all your content. Blessings to you and your family Rachel 💜🙏🏼

Hi Rachel! Thank you for another calming and relaxing video. There’s something about your videos / your voice that’s just so soothing 💜

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching! xo

Congratulations on the big deal! You are one hard-working woman 👠👠

[@enchanted222]

Rachel, I love you so much! Your garden is looking amazing and that hummingbird is so magical. What a blessing x 🙏

[@AJ-hc2fr]

Rachel, if I may suggest - the best no nasties cleaner for the oven door is the same ash you take from your fireplace and an aluminium foil. Mix ash with a little water for easier application, smear it all over the glass and leave it for a few minutes, then just scrub it with a scrunched foil, works every time.👍

[@kavyaprahlad]

Hi Rachel... Please don't burn yourself out with three videos a week.. Even One video a week consistently would be great.. Love how calming your content is ❤❤

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you! I think with my current schedule I can film on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then edit on Wednesday & Mondays. That should keep me pretty busy, but if life happens, it happens. I won't stress too much! Thanks for understanding. xo

[@meganthatcher7770]

I love your channel and have been filling for a couple years now. Thank you for sharing your moments with us. When I listen to your channel I feel like I have friend next to me.

[@queens6583]

You accomplished so much house cleaning and now I need to get motivated and do my own. I find ironing to be very relaxing and I usually find myself just thinking about things going on or I play music and sing to myself. I love when you show us the animal population and I'd love to see your neighbor's horses. Hope your brother and the kids are doing well.

[@SoaresSarah]

Hey girl, new friend here! Love your space and how relaxed this video feels! Also obsessed with your cozy fireplace xo

I would love to learn more about time blocks if you could elaborate on it in some of your next videos plz.☺️🌻

[@clairereason2020]

♡ just when you crossed my mind ♡ Watching this video, I wonder if you are happy? (Sorry if this is an inappropriate thing to say) Because for some people like me, keeping a home is a challenge. I even refrain on buying a big lot even if given the chance because I think, the maintenance would make me hate my life. Maybe with the right tools it wouldn't be so bad. They are just expensive ;p

[@racheltalbott]

I enjoy outdoor chores more than indoor chores for sure. I really like to be outside when the weather is nice. I'm happy to care for my home though. Sure, there are times when it seems daunting, but I get that feeling about many things in life that are demanding/repetitive. I always dreamed of having a home to care for, and call my own. I grew up in a very small home, so I know I can be happy in many scenarios. I try my best to take a balanced approach, and make time for other things I enjoy: time with family, traveling, music, creativity, self-care, and some free time. It is a lot of upkeep, and I wouldn't mind downsizing the size of our home in the future if that's what we decide, but I think I'd always love land, and a big garden. Unless I was physically unable to keep up with it, outdoor space is such a blessing, and I personally enjoy it so much.

[@Plantlady82]

Hello from Denver! I love seeing how others keep their home, and watch these kinds of videos while I clean too. It is not my strong suit, but now that my kiddos are older and in school, it's definitely a bit easier. :) Thanks for the inspiration! ❤

[@racheltalbott]

I feel that too! My routine last year was focused mostly around our schedule with the kids schooling at home. I didn't have as much time as I do now during the school hours. It's a nice chunk of time to focus and get things done.

[@kavyaprahlad]

@@racheltalbott couldn't agree more with Mindy's comment.. I find cleaning the house very monotonous and boring sometimes and once you let it slip it just adds up and then to do a reset is so hard.. But seeing your videos and watch others work hard really motivates me to keep up with my house and work hard.. Even after all this it's never perfect but I've learnt to live with that

[@danielebechtold928]

I absolutely love your videos they make my week! Happy spring cleaning🌻

[@Plantlady82]

Yesss, I have a tea drawer too! Best 🤗

[@racheltalbott]

Tea is the best!

thanks for the motivation, def did some spring cleaning....going to def continue the rest 😊

[@Kleomenides86]

You made me laugh with the flies story: I live in the north-east of Italy, near a very small green area and it's exactly the same! At the end of every spring and summer I have to pick up the fallen XD I have stopped ironing almost 10 years ago: I have two very ill parents and the house to take care of, while finishing my studies and dealing with a genetic disease in my muscles...ironing was too much. I found that if you fold and smooth the creases and wrinkles when the clothes are warm, either from the dryer or from hanging outside, you have almost zero problems; of course, there are some fabrics or garments you must do something about and I usually go for a small steamer we have, it's cheap, shaped like an iron but works wonders :)

[@Juliiebee]

Another great video. I love how relatable , and real you are, and I find your videos relaxing :)

[@sunnyday6348]

I love that you keep it real.

What brand is your sofa? It is so difficult to find one with seat covers that can be washed and look decent. And what is the brand of the black kitchen glove you used? Hardware store find? I hate how fast the regular kitchen gloves break.

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you! The sofa was a custom build, and the store closed down during covid =( It was a tricky one to find, because I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg, but I wanted something like this. The gloves are an amazon find. Here's a link: amzn.to/3K1hAh2

[@natalierauchle2823]

Hi Rachel 👋🏻 what kind of couch do you have? Love the look and that you can remove the covers to wash. If you have time would you share?

[@racheltalbott]

Hey there.=) Thanks for stopping by and watching my channel. This was actually a custom made couch. I picked the fabric and the configuration, and it was a great deal too. We got it at a local store in Santa Clarita, CA. I do believe they went out of business during covid though =(

[@karat529]

Do you have any recs for really clean/non toxic candles safe for babies/pets?

[@Shirumoon]

Are you looking for scented candles? That might be hard to find. Otherwise, what comes to mind are just plain beeswax candles. If you get ones of high quality, they even smell a little like honey. Soy or rapeseed candles might work too but I'm not 100% sure if they are fine when you have pets.

What's the background music in the beginning? It's lovely

Use ash from your fireplace to clean your oven window. It's amazing and you'll never go back.

Wow.. I never thought about that. I'm gonna try it!

Rachel I LOVE your videos I've been watching you for years and they bring me so much peace, motivation and calm. Baking Soda is a chemical. Please stop saying "I'm trying to stay away from chemicals." Water is made of chemical elements. Chemicals=/=BAD or UNHEALTHY. PLEASE change your buzz words to "unhealthy ingredients" because it can be very misleading.

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you. Ahhh yes, very true. In this video I was referring to harsh chemicals, but I could have been more clear in my verbiage for sure. I will keep that in mind for future videos. =)

[@telaraday8743]

@@racheltalbott I understand!!! And I think most people, If not all, understand what you meant this time. But its so so important we understand that "natural" doesn't always mean good and "chemical" doesn't always mean bad. It's so important because a lot of companies are preying on consumers with those buzz words and a lot of products still contain harsh ingredients that are bad for the skin and body and life because they are still "natural and organic" ingredients. It's so important to be informed of what ingredients you are using and how they react to other ingredients, not just trust a product because its "natural." But maybe I overreacted just a tad here, because you were comparing the use and ingredients of baking soda to barkeepers friend 🤣 I'm just so passionate about this!
