Realistic House Tour | NOT your average "Pinterest-worthy" house!

[@ThatCrazyCatholicMom]

We spend money on food over decor. I love pretty houses but I like food more. Lol. Great video.

[@MyLife1nNewYork]

I like how real and honest you are. These are the type of videos i love watching. You have a beautiful house. I live in an apartment. I just moved less than a month ago but before that, all of us 4 lived in a tiny 1 bedroom apt looked more like a studio. I made a video but have to upload it and also of my new apartment which is a bit bigger.

[@carriemarie5514]

I like how you say "progress, not perfection", but I missed your positivity in this one. Don't be so hard on yourself, you have a lovely family and I liked how you brightened up when you showed your family pictures. Hope you're doing well and have a great weekend!

[@minimalzebra]

Heather you all have done so well keeping the front porch decluttered! Work in progress and life with kids plus old home means happy home over Pinterest worthy.Happy Home wins!

[@patriciafaulkner8651]

Hi Heather, you do have a very lovely home, I too have a very lived in home, I am so tired of looking at other’s expensive houses and they have a few things out of place and say it’s so messy. Keep up the good work and just continue to love each other! Love you and am praying for you and your family every day. :)

[@tiffanydaniel8996]

I love your attitude! This is totally a momma’s house! Have 3 daughters - 5, 3, and a 5 month old. I’m very familiar with the messiness!! Just remember - the years are short!

[@Sandrocas]

Aww Heather, i love all the little personalized touches. I grew up in a modest immigrant home, our first home here was an unfinished basement suite, my mom painted an old hand me down bed for us(we shared), and made a coverlet with fabric given to her by her boss(she cleaned homes), our couch was from the Sally Anne, and we had to wash our dishes in an old concrete laundry tub! We had good memories, and love too, that;s all that matters

[@annettecutler3378]

I love it! It might not be “Pinterest-worthy” but it’s absolutely a home. It’s well-loved and full of love, and your video shows it. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@robinanderson8593]

Really appreciate your openness and honesty!! It makes watching your homes progress that much more exciting! Loved the kids reactions to their bedroom reveal, very genuine

[@Lizthinksaloud]

Aww Heather its a lovely home. Some people have lovely houses but you have a beautiful 'home'. Full of love, life and laughter. Its beautiful. I'd invite you to my home too but its a long swim to England and flapping your arms to fly here just makes your arms ache haha.

[@aheadrick6944]

It's nice to see a video that shows a lived in house like I have ☺☺

[@candi0826]

You are such a real mom with a real home I just love it. Keep doing you boo boo.

[@HonestHomemaking]

Thank you so much 🥰 I'm just doing my best day in and day out!

[@briangrantham8131]

And this is why your my favorite utuber...so real and so many people can relate...what a great job.. Heather you and Chris are amazing people and parents. Keep up the great work. Just want to say again awesome job on the kids room... Can't wait tell the next video

[@henegar4]

I was almost born in West Virginia. My home is kind of like yours. It's old, but there is alot of love in it. My grandma had this house built. David and I were married in the living room. Let me tell you something...big house do not make you happy. Love makes you happy. Right now you are living the dream most people have and cannot obtain it. You have love, laughter, children, and a home where love lives. Never apologize for where your stuff comes from. You can have the most expensive stuff in the world and never be happy. Look at hollywood. I have never cared what anybody thought about me or my home. God knows and he is all that matters. I wish you lived next door to me. We would have coffee, we could love your children as our own, we would cook,can, and have someone to depend on. God Bless and you are doing awesome.

[@rosalindamedellin689]

Girl you have a lovely home and 👍 up for you girl your not ashamed to show your home. Home sweet home keep on giving us those videos we love ☺ and more people will be coming to subscribe to your videos and hopefully you can buy your beautiful home 💜

[@ashleymcwilliams6419]

Home is where the heart is❤️ And you are not the only one that has a lived in home. I completely relate with you. Thank you for being real and raw! I don't comment very often because well I'm not really sure why but I have been watching your videos for what feels like a long time. It makes me feel better that real moms are out there. I only have one daughter who is 4 but she is a tornado and I have chronic back pain so keeping my house in order is extremely difficult. But again thank you for being real and authentic ❤️

[@kerritrejo]

🤣🤣🤣 Heather you crack me up with your level of real life 🙌🏻 I love it.

[@sabrinaespinoza9783]

I loved seeing the pictures of places u have been. Also I love ur realistic home tour. If we were neighbors I would be over often to have that coffee 🤗💞 keep up the good work!

[@tashinathomas3766]

You have an amazing home. I like the realness to it. I tried watching other home tours and it wasnt like this. I have 3 boys and a girl. My boys destroy stuff, idk how many times I gotta clean my walls or fix broken stuff or throw away broken stuff. And I like big lots, Walmart, and the dollar store. Your an awesome mom, keep up the good work.

[@christibruce3677]

Name the day and time! I’d love to come sit and have coffee with you in your “lived in” house! I myself also have a “lived in” home...you’re amazing heather, don’t change💕

[@Mariak82]

Love it! Ours is worse. 😂 been 15 years here at ours and 15 years busy with 3 kids (one with ADHD and ASD) and not enough time or health to get much of anything done. I have soon in the future now the kids are getting older to get to work on it all. :)

[@millerville2000]

You have a beautiful home! You can definitely see the love in your space! I think it's all how you view your home. Right now I live with my Hubby and 7 children (16 to 7 years old) in Ohio and in half of a house. My kitchen is on the 1st floor, it has limited cabinets and no dishwasher but I have 2 big windows and a pantry down there- we bought a cart and hutch for extra counter top and space. Our living space of a big living room, 3 bedrooms, and one bath with laundry in it is all upstairs. We make it work and I get lots of exercise going up and down when we make dinner for company. We need to be careful to not make too much noise for our downstairs neighbor. There are 9 people over her head-yikes! and she still likes us surprisingly lol. I grew up in a 2 bedroom apartment in Queens NY, so it works. So from my view you guys have a lot of space and I love your home :)

[@millerville2000]

About the bed for your little guy, I've been on a Minimalist journey for the past 7 months and my thought was if you guys could get a small bed setup that you could slide under your bed when not in use and take out for naptime and bedtime. It's not a traditional crib setup but you can still keep your desks and your nice room setup.

[@HonestHomemaking]

Thank you so much Jess! I am doing my best to find a way to make our space work the best it can for us. I do love our little house and will be so sad to say goodbye. Thank you for the bed suggestion, we are ready to try just about anything! 😊

[@cemetarymama]

You have a wonderful home. I love that it’s a real lived in home

[@asanyman9511]

First time I've commented but I've watched your videos for a while. I really like your home, I can feel the love that is in it through the screen. You, my dear, have come a long way and you should be proud of yourself and your accomplishment! 👏👏💕

[@kaydot1975]

all my kids are grown up now my youngest is just preparing to go to uni and my house always had the lived in look and to be honest I really miss it so dont apologise for making magical memories with your children you will miss it all when you get up in the morning and your house has stayed clean since the night before 😂

[@MealsMadeAtHome]

yes! finally an honest home tour! thanks for this!

[@NahedKashmiri]

Hi , I am a new subscriber .. finally i was able to see a realistic house , thank you for sharing it with us ... i really enjoyed it and it remind me of my childhood house... :)

[@ThatCrazyCatholicMom]

Your house is lovely. And very real life. My husband and I also sleep in the smallest room. We have 4 boys and 3 girls so the boys have the master bedroom because there are more of them. I am working on making our house a home too. I can’t do any big projects right now (the project list is large lol) but for now I can declutter and keep it clean. Your channel is so encouraging. You keep it real and have a good attitude. I have so many things I want to do to our house but the funds just aren’t there right now. I am practicing thankfulness and strengthening my “creative” muscles. 🙈 I hope the basement project is going well.

[@tracyc160]

I loved this video! You are so real so I can relate to you. I really enjoyed your sense of humor. No judgement here.

[@sarahjo6807]

I am so proud of you. You're doing a fantastic job.

[@jsma5503]

You have a great house and a great family, it's filled with love! That's all that really matters!

[@whitneymckisson7631]

Your house is awesome well loved & lived in!! You are doing a great job your house has came along way i can't to see the rest & i can't wait to see the video Monday

[@freeasmrsounds]

I am the exact same way girl!! My house is so not perfect. I watch house tours with beautiful decor and its not realistic for me. Thank you for sharing. I loved seeing your home!

[@judymullins2694]

Progress not perfection your doing a great job Heather 👍

[@NyxAtNight9029]

You could try two queen size sheets per couch to cover the upholstery so it isn't getting damaged. The couches are in good shape! It's just cosmetic flaws on the outside. We used that method with a couch we inherited from family members when we were first married. Two sheets and it looked great!

[@bratbabyp9370]

The paper bag floor!😫kids room looks great 😁.just the inspiration I needed have a.great daY

[@staceyperone476]

You, my dear, are an inspiration!!! Enough said.

[@michellemitchell114]

Hi!! It’s ok to have a lived in home. So many people today wish they lived in a liver in home. Their lives are so hectic that they don’t even have time to enjoy that perfectly decorated home they have to work so hard for. My husband makes a good living for us and I worked before I got hurt on the the job as a nurse. I use to be one of those people till we went to one income. I quickly learned how to have what I wanted for less than what you probably spend. I shop at the goodwill for things. No one is the wiser unless I tell them. Since we seem to live in a throw away society there are so many good things at the goodwill. From curtains to antiques. All cheap!! My friends have no idea and my fancy mother in-law is even amazed at my purchases. I can get designer purses new or like new. Clothes the same way. I take my time picking through things and even look up the brand names online to see if it’s a good buy. The only things I won’t purchase there are shoes and towels. I go to the goodwills in fancier neighborhoods so there is ALWAYS great stuff. I could never afford to buy the things I have in my home but no one will ever be the wiser unless I tell them. I am just frugal and I was even a super couponer till we got a Aldi grocery store in our area. I save more there than couponing at Kroger’s or Walmart. I save everywhere I can. Nothing is wrong with living like that a lot of people do. My son broke a few things when he was a toddler. But if you don’t teach them it’s wrong and not ok they keep doing it. You’ve worked so hard to make your house a home!!Just because you live in a home full of mostly men doesn’t mean you can’t get them to respect your hard work. I’m the only female in my home besides the dog. My men don’t want to take their shoes off at the door. I even bought baskets (at goodwill) for their shoes. My pet peeve has become the floors. My house was brand new 11 years ago. Our hardwoods need to be refinished and carpet torn up. They now understand where I was coming from all these years. So eventually it will lessen my husband’s wallet and my men will have sore backs from the work. But I bet from now on I will not have to worry about my floors being dirty again.

[@HonestHomemaking]

Thank you so much Michelle! I love our little home and I love trying to improve it on a budget. For me that's fun and motivating! I love seeing just how far I can stretch a dollar and what I can do to make things better with that dollar. We don't have a goodwill or an Aldi but about 90 minutes from us there is. I need to make the drive up there and see if it would be worth driving regularly to save some money. We are, of course, doing our best to teach Leo not to destroy things. He is only 3 years old but he's come a long way in just a year or so. We just keep trying day in and day out, making a little progress each day! 😊

[@mesharlene45]

I have a lived in home also and I love it, I have a little decor now since my children are all grown but with that I now have grand children so I still have a lived in home. Thank you for sharing!! 🙂🙂

[@moonglow7710]

Thanks for the tour! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

[@ajd4eva1987]

You are definitely not alone Heather! I always say to our kids " this is why we can't have anything nice!" It's a rock and a hard place, I can't wait until they are older and our house can be what I want it to be and yet I want them to stay little forever haha! Xx

[@tracywishom9999]

I love your home , thanks for sharing your realness

[@Happilyahomemaker]

Thank you for this Heather. Lots of kids and pets in a small home, it’s normal all of it❤️

[@louannmckain9774]

[@justits1]

It's a home! Hooray not a staged model home! Thank you for always keeping it real Heather. If I were closer I would help clear out your basement. Been there done that in our own home after flooding.

[@ellengriffith1585]

Love that you did a home tour. And yes my kids try and ruin my stuff I think is pretty. I shop a lot second hand or I try to diy things.

[@Mirela1970]

Your house is beautiful because is a home!!! Doesn’t matter the material expenses things people put on there walls when there houses are full of discord and unloved people!!!!! Continue doing your job as the helper of your husband!!! You are doing your role very good. Blessings to you and family!!!!

You do a great job and always so positive. When I watch you, I want to clean and I don't feel like I need to have on my makeup or look like a movie star. #KeepingItReal #HonestHomemaking Love you guys.

[@divineloverofbliss8933]

Thanks for the honesty. This is more like my reality.

[@isabelleclement2203]

Hi Heather, your house looks a home with a lot of love. I think this is the most important. I see that you are always busy with the smallest children and you are doing your level best so that your home is clean and tided up. You are a wonderful Mom. I found you on you tube the time when you announced that you are pregnant. This was with Mason. I wish a nice day. 💐😀🤗☀️🍨🍉🍦

[@cathyroberts6428]

[@theladyandthecripple3776]

I've always lived in houses in similar shape my whole life until I got married. My house is always a disaster and I don't even have kids to blame it on yet. Haha. But, you've inspired me to do my own tour soon!

[@corieisenstaedt5649]

Heather I love your home and the progress you have made is amazing! Our home is a work in progress too and things take time. No judgement from me! I wish we could have a cup of coffee (or glass of wine!)together because mom life is crazy! Love your videos and have a good weekend!

Thank you Elizabeth, me too! 🥰

[@OneBusyMama03]

[@RoseStream83]

It is so nice to see a not so Pinterest worthy home... mine isn’t Pinterest worthy either.

[@nicolamullen5243]

You are welcome at my house anytime. Only new zealand could be a bit far to come! I would love to sit and chat with you at your place. We would get on like a house on fire. You are truley an amazing homemaker with the small budget you have! Wish I could come and help you guys with the basement as that's what true friends would do! X

[@sarahjo6807]

The one thing I took from this whole video was that we have the same wallet. I love that wallet.

[@adriennejones4821]

I can relate 100%

[@txrnursebsn8974]

So cute!! Uh oh... I’m guessing you’re freshly painted door trim & the coat rack had an incident 🙈. I absolutely adore your channel & your adorable family❤️

[@janetsides901]

Ago I are so hard on yourself! 90% if the things in my house are from thriftstores,Goodwill,Salvation Army. It's not perfect. We live here. Those perfect "Pinterest worthy " houses are fine. But I like being comfortable!!

[@janetsides901]

Ago I??!!!LOL It's supposed to say You are..

[@KyndalsOpinion]

When all the kids were little our house was alot like yours... now that they are older and less destructive lol we are now able to get nice things. Your day will come just hang in there :) but even if ya had the money for fancy things there no point until kids get older.. and p.s idk how ppl with lots of kids have nice things because all I know is if you have any amount of boys they will mess it up lol... my daughter was always good about not messing things up ... but the boys oh my lord they are like tornadoes ha ha ha

[@HonestHomemaking]

I look forward to the day when I can buy something nice and know it's not going to be destroyed in 5 minutes lol! I know I'll miss them being little but it's the way things are supposed to go. The boys are for sure like tornadoes and we have 4 of them 😵I really do try and teach them not to destroy things, I think it just happens because they're just SO rough all the time. 😬

[@brandiheartley1101]

I love your channel it's real life I live in a 35 year old trailer the struggle is real I try to pretend it's Pinterest worthy lol

[@sandragiardino697]

Lol I’m going through the same I have 4 kids that has Destroyed everything it’s depressing but one day they’re not gonna be there to make the mess anymore and will want it all back :( can’t win lol

[@HonestHomemaking]

They do destroy things but you are so right, one day they will be gone and our homes will be "perfect" and I'll be missing the ripped couches and messes! 💞

[@sandragiardino697]

Honest Homemaking funny how it works. But still makes me depressed tho to look at it everyday at least your doing something about it . I’m going to keep looking at mine for a while lol

[@bonniescott6470]
