I know I’m so behind but another great video..and LOVED watching you dogs get a wash..they are so well behaved and cute! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful day.

[@elitadaniels]

I find this very calming and charming. Thanks for posting.

[@carolsailer1395]

I haven’t watched your videos in awhile...just haven’t popped up...I’m making a list in my planner of KZbin videos of people to watch...I’ve been binge watching yours...I’ve always enjoyed your videos... I can’t get over how your dogs just sat there patiently waiting for their turn...my dog hates baths...she is now 15...it’s like torture for her...

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much for your support, I appreciate it. I went on a break the first of the year to breathe after the holidays and have been back on here for about a month now.

[@michellenmess]

I wish I had heard your wise words about social media at the time you published this (I assume 4 or so years ago!), but it still rings true today! I have since that time unfollowed some close family. You put it in words in this video better than I could ever find the words to say, “I want to keep liking them.” The people I unfollowed do not want to understand others’ opinions or where they have come from to make them think how they do. Everyone’s past experiences shape their reality and opinions. I will rewatch that part of the video again, so wise! Thank you for this gem! ☺️

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Aw, thank you for your sweet words. We all have a choice in life...choose to be right or choose to be kind. Sometimes it is easier to be kind if I allow myself the space to step farther away from the picture.

[@carris3ringcircus390]

Your voice is so calming to me.. Every time you say hi friend.. I say "hi"🖑 My hubby walked by and said.. "oh wow" 😂 lol

[@grudtt2428]

Just read your comment at the end of this video.... while Melissa was saying bye bye,,, and suddenly I also said bye, bye OUT LOUD 😂😂😂

[@carris3ringcircus390]

@@grudtt2428 😂 We NEED interaction with adults!! LOL.. Goodnight Friend❤

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Agreed!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Haha! That is hysterical! I love it.

[@deb9024]

Your dogs are so cute love how gentle they behave having their bath. Precious 😊🤗

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@ToEachTheirOwnHome]

I do look forward to these videos before going to bed. Thank you for them. Great content, motivation and a bit of normalcy in the midst of Chaos. Thank you my friend.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Glad you like them! Thank you for your sweet words.

[@OrganizingwithSigrid]

Definitely going to be cleaning our Yorkie in the shower! You definitely made it look easy! I’m loving all the videos❤️

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Yay! Thank you! I really appreciate you watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@theresafisher1065]

I love listening to you! Love your house and your routines!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much for your sweet words. I appreciate it!

[@Tomes23]

This was an inspirational video. Going to prep lunches for tomorrow. I’ll set a timer! Thank you!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Perfect. I can't wait to hear how it went!

[@susancarter8877]

Such well behaved dogs at bath time.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you. I think we got lucky. ha!

[@wandamiller23]

Great video! Love the tip of 3 things, set a timer. I tend to procrastinate if I can't get it all done perfectly. Piper & Daisy are so cute & such good girls!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

I agree, me too. I find that if I section things off and do chunks of jobs within a certain time frame, I am much more productive and I am able to make off more things that way. Have a wonderful day.

[@bekistewart1625]

I so look forward to your vlogs each day! isn’t that a new table & chairs? Loved the “laundry chat!” Have a Blessed day!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

We got that in January, I think. I can't quite remember as it seems like the last two months have had 184 days combined. Haha!

[@dbojo1]

Hi, Love your videos so much! Your doggy on your pillows was so adorable! My Chi does that too. Your front porch is so pretty like you. Your dogs were so cooperative during their baths. You seem like such a patient mom. Thanks for sharing.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much for your kind words. There are definitely days and times where I have to ask forgiveness. I am just thankful that we are given grace. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for your support.

[@juliabernuy9283]

I enjoyed. Your pool looks beautiful. Your kids look so happy in it. Is nice to have some normality in the mist of everything that is going on. Thanks for the encouragement to do a power hour 😉 Blessings

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much! We are very excited to have it during the summer when things might not be what we are used to. Have a wonderful day.

[@shawnahawkins718]

those dogs are too cute! Pure poodle? My daughter has wanted a poodle for ever and ever! And I would really love a skincare & makeup if you have time to drag it all out next week!!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

They are Cavapoos. King Charles Cavalier and Poodle. We have been so happy with them. I am actually editing the am skincare one today. Will film the pm as well as makeup one next week or over the weekend (if I'm lucky (haha)). Have a wonderful day.

[@carriecurry3943]

I heard your husband’s commercial on the radio yesterday, when he said his name I was like, “Hey, I know him!” Well, I don’t actually know him, but you get it!😆

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Hahaha! That is hysterical. I hear it and think, "hmm, that sound like Sam and then I'm like, hey that is Sam!"

[@nancyvance2772]

I love your videos. I just want to say that your children are certainly not stiff in front of the camera or whatever that woman said. They are funny, polite, and delightful, Also. as I've said before, I've adopted some of your organizational techniques and have improved lots of areas of my house! Now I'm going to try power hour! Thanks!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much for your kind words. That means a lot. Hurt people, hurt people. I am so glad that you have found some things that work for your space and can't wait to hear how your power hour goes.

[@debschirra3056]

The dog baths made me laugh out loud! My Alexa also responded to your request🤣

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

😁 I thought about that when it was already too late. Haha!

[@mariaolker]

How are your dogs so obedient during bath time? That was amazing!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Ha! I have no idea. I have always been the only one to bathe them so maybe there was never 'fear' involved and that makes a difference. I honestly don't have an answer. Haha!

[@lucyluu.]

I find your videos very motivating and am really enjoying these daily vlogs. I also have two kids doing the distance learning thing and it’s nice to feel like I’m not the only one! I watched your series a few years ago on your zone cleaning routine. Are you still doing that? I’d enjoy seeing an updated routine if you are. Thanks for staying so positive!!!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Yes, I still zone clean but haven't done an updated series since moving into this house. I will see how I can add that into the new video lineup so that I can share than and not bore anyone who isn't interested. Ha! Have a wonderful day.

[@GracieD1970]

Ok, I think the girls stole the show - it made me laugh. Dogs and their baths are too cute. I love my new laundry routine which I've been doing for about a yr. As a mom of 2 girls ages 12 and 17, they have their own laundry totes, along w/ my husband and I. I'm only washing one persons laundry at a time and eliminating different piles and wondering who does this belong to? All towels/dishrags go into the laundry room which are washed separately. Thanks for a great vlog.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

You are so welcome. I am thrilled that you are enjoying them. Your support is greatly appreciated.

[@cfaith59]

Beautiful home! 💐

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

[@monaafreewhatup5774]

My Alexa just set by your command😄

[@jennifercrowell6719]

Great video. Will try a power hour tomorrow.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Did it work? They help me to feel so productive when I am needing a boost.

[@shannonchilson3129]

Always enjoy your videos. Would you be willing to do an Amazon favorites? I am wanting to get out and shop...but given the current situation Amazon is a better option .

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

I sure can. That's a great idea for a video. Let me go back through my cart and see what faves I can come up with. Hope you are all doing well and staying safe.

[@debschafer6993]

Melissa could you tell us what products you used for your pups when you bathed them? Thank you. Stay safe.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Honestly, I just find whatever natural or organic products I can find inexpensive from TJ Maxx of Sprouts. I have had these for quite some time so I wouldn't guess that they would be able to be found.

[@mslil65]

Now I have to go and check to see if I can program my washer! I had no idea you could do that! Also...I love that you do chores barefoot. I am always barefoot!

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Haha! I hate socks and shoes. I never have socks on. I hope you were able to find the setting on your washer if it has it. It makes things so much easier. Thanks so much for watching.

[@carris3ringcircus390]

I have BiPolar2 which means a lot of severe depression. I'm a mom to 3. A lot of days it's just hard to get out of bed. School being out for the rest of the year kind of blindsided me.. I usually slowly prepare the house for everyone to be home all day. It's really hard for me to clean with all the kids around, I feel like if they're there I get mad and just gripe and yell the whole time. Which I DON'T want to be that way. When I have the house to myself, I do like you say and just set and hour timer here a 30 min timer later and put on music or a Podcast and just get it all done.. Now that I found out that they will not being going back at all..I HAVE to make myself get in gear. My 13 and 14 yr olds have all online classes. But my 1st grader still has a lot of papers everyday. In my my mind I want a structured set up.. But honestly, He's done most of his work in my bed. He doesn't care.. Eating snacks and doing school in my bed is awesome. But I feel guilty that I'm not always able to be the mom I want to be. But sometimes I am. I'm blessed to have kids that are very understanding and caring. They know I try my best. Some days I'm up cooking and doing crafts, and other days I feel like a 1000 pound blanket is on me. But this too shall pass. Fingers crossed tomorrow I can get things back in order.. calmly😥 Always waiting for the Rainbow.❤ Thanks for the video. I need to do some to help get me put of my funk.

[@debschirra3056]

Bless your heart! Sounds like the struggle is definitely real for you. Glad your kids understand. I wish I had the ability or words to help you. What I can do is say a prayer for you.🤗

[@carris3ringcircus390]

@@debschirra3056 I would love that.. Thank you❤

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

I am proud of you for just being a mom. For trying on the days that you don't want to even if it is from your bed with your little one beside you. What I find works best for me is if I section things off into chunks. If I set timers for tasks I am more able to get more things done. Find two things that you want to get done from your list and set a timer for 30 minutes. Bust those two things out and then move on to the next two, or wait until tomorrow. Your choice. This way you will feel like you have accomplished something which usually fuels the fire to do something else. There is always a rainbow in the midst of rain, we just have to be willing to see the rainbows that aren't as bright. The fact that you are able to breathe and see your kiddos face's each day is a daily reminder that there is always a rainbow. When I find myself getting frustrated with my kiddos I ask myself one question, "would I want God (my father) to yell at me or treat me unkind when I am annoying or irritating" (which is probably A LOT, ha!) That has helped me tremendously especially now with school when things can get to be a little much. We all need and deserve grace. Even though we may not think of it often, these kiddos have had their world changed as well. No friends, no school, no "normal". Sometimes we forget about what this feels like to them because often it feels like summer break but with homework. Many prayers going up for you as you navigate through this new chapter. Just remember two things... today you get to and there is always a rainbow, even if it's colors are light. Hugs.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

So sweet of you Deb. We can all use a little extra prayer. Blessings to you.

[@carris3ringcircus390]

@@MelissaHuenergardt Thank you!❤ Yes. The timer things works well for me. And I usually keep going. getting started is usually the hardest part. ❤

Always question your assumptions about others. Try to always assume people need your kindness.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

If you can be anything in the world, be kind. It will never be the wrong choice.

[@tialalis9986]

Always so good to watch your videos. What did you rub on your dogs ?

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

It was just a natural pet deodorizer that I purchased from Sprouts.

[@margaritafernandez5272]

What products do you use to bathe the dogs?

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

I just use whatever natural/organic products that I can find from either TJ Maxx or Sprouts. I am pretty simple.

[@sharoncresenzi3016]

You have a great channel! I also agree with you on the political stuff, if I disagree with friends it becomes a battle of them trying to convince me? Almost bullying, I’ve had to step away from some people, I don’t put my beliefs on them and would love them to respect mine, that usually doesn’t work I’m sorry to say.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

I totally agree with you. We have forgotten how to have kind, respectful discussions.

[@thesweetstitcher5387]

Always happy to spend time with you. It makes me afraid how opinionated and vocal people have become....for me it's just be kind.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Thank you for your sweet words.

[@tinawatson777]

😂. My Alexa timer was set for 1 hour.

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

hahaha! I knew it! I thought of that too late. Sam's Grandma always had a saying "too late smart." That certainly applied in that moment.

[@annalisarussell2983]

Hi, Melissa. Is there anyway you could remove the smaller photo of your face at the end of your video? It's the one in the middle. It covers your face when you are speaking at the very end. Just a suggestion cause we want to see you blow the confetti. BTW, I love how your dogs "wait" until it's their turn to take a bath. LOL...

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Ha! Yes, thank you for saying that. I don't have a way to see that so I appreciate you letting me know. Have a wonderful day.

[@THORPE1601]

Awesome videos

[@MelissaHuenergardt]

Glad you think so! Have a wonderful day.
