The Simple Home Reset: Getting Back to Baseline Clean

[@carinalawrence4628]

This was maybe one of the most relatable things I’ve seen in a very long time. You were basically mid thought and stopped midway to read to your son as if it was nothing. Moms are amazing creatures. Thank you for being real. Very refreshing! 😊

[@Michelle_Westdam]

I like this style of video, where you are real-life and not scripted : new side of you it's nice to see

[@jackieruprecht3588]

You do a GREAT JOB managing a house that has 4 children in it. Idk why anyone needs to bash you for it, shame on them. Keep up the great job that i wish i knew when i was a younger Mom🥰

[@purpledonkeylover9988]

Some people are just ignorant

[@purpledonkeylover9988]

Jealous they can't do as well!!

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Oh wow, really, do they? 🙈 What about, I'm wondering? Having more than one or 2 children or how she's doing things? 😅

[@jenniferlawrence8533]

Once upon a time. I was upset about the mess in my house with 3 young children..My husband listened..then said "you will have plenty of time for a neat and clean house when the kids are grown."He was so right. Glad he kept me in the real world.

[@cmconcon]

Awesome man!

[@SJO1408]

This is the most honest and down to earth video you've done and i am here for it! Love your transparency, it def makes me realize i CAN keep the house clean and organized. My new mantra is 'just do it anyway' 😂 such a mom way of life and i appreciate the tips and words of wisdom.

[@kweenbee3]

Yes I’ve noticed her videos becoming more and more like this… im here for it! ❤

[@kweenbee3]

Love how you said please don’t comment about my kids cleaning up after themselves and about getting rid of their “treasures”. The problem I find is there’s so many of these little moments where I feel I doubt my parenting choices and this was just one of those moments where I felt so validated. Yes I don’t need to keep all my kids stuff. And no it’s not realistic that they will clean up after themselves all the time Loved this video simple yet what I needed. ❤

[@poppyseed389]

You are superwoman! Please more content like this.. it's so amazing seeing you so effortlessly juggling between feeding your baby, reading a book to your toddler, cleaning up your home, and meanwhile making a KZbin video. Like what! Wow!!! So impressive I want to see more of how you do this.

[@karoosten88888]

I absolutely love this style of video!! Please do more of these

[@rivasoucie]

Mom of three ages 3-10 including a toddler with disabilities. This video ROCKS! Love the pj, long hair, coffee stream of consciousness, real life parenting. You are such an intelligent life form! Keep it and show us more bc we are with you too. Modern motherhood ❤

[@jennifer1424]

Something that resonated with me recently “don’t be a supermom to your kids, be a soothing mom”. You’re doing great 🤗💕

[@amandaenglish7693]

Oh for love people need to STOP judging! Sometimes it’s easier to do it ourselves and other times we have the patience to teach them to do so. Aaaand sometimes we just can’t do it all and are grateful if we got to brush our teeth😂You are doing great girl!

[@user-xx5rk2oh5z]

i’ll be honest i’ve not been watching recent videos as i’ve i find it overwhelming , no fault of your own you make amazing content ..… but this was real time real mum life and i loved it ❤

[@TeklaB34]

I appreciate that your house looks wild! That real, kids cloths on a shelf, paper doodles wadded in the corner “treasures”, so genuine!

[@carmenlane7681]

Killing it! Haters gonna hate…no need for that. You’re doing a great job . No such thing as perfect if you’re actually enjoying your space and family. It’s just two of us and we call it “live in”, lol.

[@Goldenheart2911]

Sending you a virtual hug and high five Kallie! 🫂✋ You’re doing a great job.🫶 Please remember to be kind to yourself as well. 💛 What doesn’t get done today will be there tomorrow, so do what you can, know that it’s enough and enjoy your coffee in peace because deserve it.☕️☺️💪💛

[@brendastewart4384]

Omg this brings me back to having 3 little ones! The clutter and treasures drove me nuts. I learned to accept it though, because it was just a very short time in the big scheme of things. They are grown ups out on their own now and it went by so fast. It doesn’t seem like that when you are in the thick of it. You are doing a wonderful job!

[@sandybrown8698]

I have teens now but I loved the unstructured style video. Most videos leave out the real life interruptions but it was nice to see how the flow of your time goes. I always love your videos!!!

[@natnat4919]

Amazing job! I know your pain, I have 5 kids 10yrs and under and you have to be on the go all day. Your doing amazing, in the words of dory "just keep swimming, just keep swimming "😊

[@kcgrace07]

Thank you so much for this video!! Let’s normalize real life on social media. As a Mom it often feels like I’m not meeting the standard of the tidy, perfect places of moms on social media so this feels so reassuring. I also got a good chuckle out of the toothbrush in your coffee because that is absolutely something my toddler would do!!

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

2:35 So cute how she's listening to you! ☺️💕

[@heiditate6989]

Visual clutter drives my anxiety thru the roof but my husband (who creates most of it) isn't bothered a bit. Loved this video.

[@siyarakb5305]

They are clutter blind. My mom , dad , my husband all can't see clutter. I go crazy looking at clutter.

[@sandywilliamson3350]

And, if you were “some minimalist sterile house…”, it’s no one else’s business.👍 We all have to do what’s best for OUR own families, and that will look different from household to household. I love how KZbinr, Natalie Bennett, adopted the mantra, “Progress over perfection” It resonates with me and my perfectionist tendencies. You have a beautiful family, Kallie!🩷 Love, a homeschool mom of 4 in Texas 😊

[@Trina_I]

Great job give yourself Grace. You are a working Mom with a husband, house and 4 beautiful children💕💕

[@julielavers3394]

I do this type of reset also. I call it zone cleaning. A quick pickup just to get everything back to its location. Then I swing back through and put everything away. It works great and you give great advice! ❤

[@terrirojas]

OMG, you're right! I'm always waiting to "do" based on what the hubs is or isn't doing or sleeping. I'm realizing I developed this habit when I was caring for my mom because she needed a bit of supervision. WOW - eyes opened! Thank you! Just do it anyway!

[@Docinprocess2323]

I had to watch this twice. For the first run, I could not stop looking at how adorable your kids are... baby girl cheeks 🥰

[@NeeshaSaurusRex]

I love this advice. I have an 18mo old and I feel like I only clean while she’s sleeping because it’s always harder/slower trying to do it with her. But I love the perspective of do it anyways. Do it even when it’s hard.

[@aprilwilson6136]

I loved how you kept filming while also paying attention to your kids! Read a book, sure. Brush some teeth. Of course. That is exactly how you clean while with your kids. Take a minute to attack a pile, take a couple minutes to read a book.

[@yvonnekirk3625]

You are fantastic! I don’t know how you have the energy for this, you’re great❣️💕💕

[@samanthab3292]

With this many little kids running around, messy chaos is your chapter of life 😂❤ i had two under two so i cant imagine 4 in a row! You're doing great

[@StarsHollow214]

Great job resetting and being a great mom reading to your kids while you’re doing it.

[@catherinehansson7645]

I love this format! It feels relaxed and not rushed, honest and very down to earth! More of this please ❤️

[@IceCreamHoldingFee]

Oh Mom, you are in the thick of it with you l'il ones! I love the way you wiped the coffee table then sat right on the wet surface! We get that's how tired you are! 😉💜

[@sandihumeniuk4462]

I love how real you are! Giving fabulous advice with a real uncurated perspective. This is real life! Way to go.

[@iekika79]

I’ve been a follower since before you had kids and you’re still one of my favorites to watch! I don’t have little kids anymore but you still have lots of great ideas that work even when the kids are grown and out of the house! I love that you’re real and honest and not Pinterest perfect! The goals, tips, tricks and such are all achievable! Thank you for always being you! ❤

[@kathleenp3135]

Babies are so cute!!!

[@AtHomeWithADHD]

Your home is beautiful! Amazing job juggling so many littles and still being so productive. You’re an inspiration!

[@susanhammitt7080]

The cutest little helpers. I would also get rid of stuff and my son would never miss it. I would first put in a box out of sight and if he didn't ask for again. I would get rid of it.

[@muchadoaboutkovu]

Bravo I love this video. I feel the mom vibes in this. Had to stop at three kids for health reasons but it’s a whole different level than one or two kids. Having any kids is a lot. But I now have huge respect with moms of three or more kids. Love your house.

[@dlester2999]

This is just what I needed. I have been easily distracted when taking things to the rooms they belong in during cleaning and then get sucked into those spaces before I finished the first space. 😬 I never used to struggle with this...but I appreciate your methods to manage the clutter and using a bin to collect the things that don't belong instead of going from room to room without getting something fully accomplished.

[@catherinecook9260]

You are awesome everyday! Don’t be so tough on yourself. 4 kiddos, take care of the visual stuff and worry less about the ‘clean house’.🌸

[@alwynkaxi]

You know... I don't have kids and don't ever plan on having them, but I deeply connect to that opening scene 😅 I'm on my journey of setting the timer for 10 or 20 minutes every evening and just put stuff back to their places. It's not easy, but as we know from a previous video on this channel, habit-making is not an easy task 😁 Keep up the great work, Kallie, your house looks 8000 times better than mine! 😆

[@suzanne9062]

You are a good mom! Keep up the good work but don't forget to take time to rest also if possible, self care. You need to re-load sometimes. Have a blessed week!

[@jbridges9574]

Perfection is the enemy of progress, and good enough is good enough. ❤

[@arinasvyatykh7969]

That is exactly what I was after! Thanks again for all the efforts you are putting in to share your knowledge with the world :)

[@vickigonya9432]

I made it a game Lets see if you can put all those toys in the toy box before the cookie timer goes off , woo hoo!!! Mom has to do laundry pick.up and strip beds , you get to just do toys so you will probably win!!! He would cheerfully run after it. I let him choose the timer- 10 min 15 min or 5 min.😂 Id let him win of course, except once when he got overwhelmed and sat down playing. 😂😂 but i still gave him half of my cookie.( lara protein bar) Then i found a small basket like they have in the groc store and he could carry more to the toy box so he got inyetested in that. And we would play music and dance.❤😂 you're awesome and got me motivated today😂❤

[@katelouise2594]

It’s so important to feel productive! You’re an amazing Mom! Love to you!

[@kathydavis6408]

Looovvveeedd this video. Common sense and a little movement keeps a home tidy. ❤️

[@whatlolawants2167]

Kallie, you simply amazed me. I haven't checked out your videos in quite some time. I remember when it was just one kiddo then two and I'm not sure if I remember 3 and now 4 so I've seen you systematically keep your house clean in a very acceptable way. You have always kept your life real as you've adjusted to life as it's changed for you.(I know I was watching you in an office) Anywho, you do a marvelous job of keeping life clean and manageable with 4 children, God bless you.❤

[@christinedisneyqueen]

You’re doing a wonderful taking care of your family and home. 🩷

[@mariarozon2950]

This was great. I love to see you do things and talk about them as they are happening. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@scraphappyjen4561]

Mum of four here too. I wish I was as grounded when mine were as little as yours, would have saved myself so much stress. But I’m in a great groove now that they’re all in school and my house stays tidier, which totally helps my sanity. I love a Monday reset and removing visual clutter is my go-to for reducing overwhelm.

[@denisejones1863]

I think getting the kids involved helps. More like they do in preschool. Everyone has to help clean up before the next activity. I limited my kids toys for sure. It is great you have a nice yard for them.

[@MaCookie7]

Whatever works for you is perfect. Enjoy your day!

[@deloreshall5459]

Hey Kallie. Great video. Keeping it real. I should have done basic resets when my son was younger. Would have decreased anxiety. Your a great Mom and a great friend to all of us.😊❤❤❤

[@sarahspitzfaden]

This is the most relatable video I have ever seen, which is so on brand. ❤

[@kathysundberg8366]

I love you - always wondered how you do it . Thanks for sharing . I am so glad your not perfect - you are in good company . Made me SMILE .

[@melaniethorne9396]

Ok but I’m so here for your IDGA fork attitude Kallie! I’m a mom as well and we make memories. Messes happen but it just means it’s more fun! Thank you for being so real!

[@sharonknorr1106]

My biggest challenge as a mom to two was getting used to not having large blocks of time to get projects done and learning how to do things in small chunks. Looking back, not sure I ever really got a handle on that. It was a problem because I volunteered for a big non-profit and project deadlines would sneak up on me as I waited for that perfect block of time to get them done. Also had a pretty cluttered house much of the time, long before KZbin or organization as a big focus. I would go through a big cleaning and org kick a few times a year and it felt good, but most of the time we were just treading water, which drove my husband crazy, but I just felt overwhelmed. I think you're right in that once you get up to three and four kids, you just don't have a choice anymore, there are never going to be big blocks of time, or even very many small ones, you just have to get things done while the kids are up and about.

[@roxannewells6402]

I love that idea of 90 and 90!! I'm so grateful you finally came across my feed!! I missed your videos ❤

[@PetraEmmy]

Kallie you’re amazing and I appreciate you sharing all the tips.. Enjoy those kiddos cause before you know it they’ll be moving out..

[@ruthm.5400]

My favorite video of yours! Love this style. So honest and relatable! ❤

[@marthameyer7918]

Great job! Progress is progress. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

[@livysykes1841]

Yes! 👏👏 to the part about looking at our existing systems

[@ReneeDennis-x8h]

A good video with valuable insights & nothing trying to be sold to us 😊

[@cocoabean321ify]

Omg i agree Kallie...I only have 1 kid but he keeps packaging stuff, pringles cans, etc. You can't keep it ALL! Kids are hoarders lol. Also...I love this type of video format when you are in the moments of being a Mom, this is real life and i love it!!!

[@charlottestopa]

Well done on keeping on top of the daily clutter and clean ❤️❤️

[@promilas3709]

My favorite video yet, so relatable ❤

[@decide2day815]

Really great, real time clean-up Kallie! Great tips.

[@sapphirehummingbird22]

A blanket on the coffee machine in the morning is a common thing😊 Thanks for your inspiring videos ❤

[@tamervin]

I really love the walls in your new house. So pretty.

[@nikikelly2003]

You gave me some motivation today to tackle some small tidy ups. With 3 kids, ages 5-8, and a mom with dementia, along with a home renovation, my house has been looking like an explosion. It is getting better. I'm going through my kids' toys because we just finished their bedroom, and I really don't want to put their gigantic toy box back in their room. They don't play with a lot of the toys and I need to move them on to a new home.

[@sarahduby4300]

You are amazing!! Doing a great Job Momma!🥰

[@emilyinnz]

Great honest video. I needed to do this on Sunday I was totally overwhelmed but had the kids I just got on with it and didn’t wait.

[@kkbo3478]

You are AMAZING! Life is real

[@rebeccaellis5892]

This is what I learned a long time ago, one room at a time gets it done. However, I wish I had learned it when my kids were small, would have made such a difference. Great video.

[@Mvirumb]

I am in awe of how you got your 1-yo to help/not make a huge mess that sets you back 😂. Loved this video!!

[@bekap6945]

I have started doing this too! I use a laundry basket for all the items that need to go back to their "home" it just saves carrying everything from room to room 😂 and means ify cleaning time gets cut short least everything is cleared and in one place for us to rehome later 👍

[@wakemanfitclub3236]

Love the wallpaper! So pretty! Love your videos too. So real life and not Pinterest perfect.😍 Although your house looks amazing for a mother of 4!!

[@AshleySmith-tc2ny]

Your house looks so cheery! Would love to see a new house tour

[@christinasavannah7992]

Awwww your Baby son looks just like you

[@sjsp7631]

When I was a young mom of 4 and I would get stressed with the clutter, my mother in law said one day you’ll have all the time in the world to organize your closets. Blink and all my kids are in college. Now I have very organized closets😂 and I could care less!! Enjoy each chapter of your life because they do end and a new one begins…❤

[@TigerG16]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours! ❤

Loved this vlog style video! So good!

[@annamaureen7911]

It’s so fun watching your family grow! ❤❤❤

[@ellenherman9543]

I gave my kids a small broom and dustpan and they would go around sweeping all the toys up....loved it!

[@gincheck]

Love your videos Kallie! ❤️

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

Great video! More! More!

[@nancyholmes1765]

Good for you to tell people not tell you how to raise and what to teach your kids . You put your real life out there and they can watch or not and shouldn’t judge

[@5foot2eyesofblue]

This is so relatable

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

I admire your calm. I'd cry having more than 2 kids. Or zero basically. I have 2. I cry everyday. 😂

[@elainewilson8182]

Love that your son was in this video!

[@teresadreamer8554]

You are awesome, you do a great job. Your house your rules. I like the 90% rule. I agree I am 61 and like crafting. I am constantly cleaning and decluttering. 😊😊❤❤ thank you

[@christyrought5749]

I am always so inspired by your content. I love that you have systems and label things. I finally have my kitchen organized, just like I want it and I was inspired by you. I have a KZbin channel and soon I want to film how I have my kitchen organized.

You have beautiful art and collages around your home! I'd love to see a video of how you decorate and gang pictures. (I seriously struggle with lining things up!)
