Welcome to Motherhood and Homemaking,
0:02
where cozy meets real life and every
0:04
mess tells a story. My name is Heaven,
0:06
and around here we live slow, clean
0:08
simply, and find joy in the everyday.
0:10
So, if you're all about faithfilled
0:11
homemaking, real mom life, and making
0:14
beauty out of the ordinary, I invite you
0:16
to go ahead and hit that subscribe
0:18
button and settle on in because you are
0:19
right where you belong. But let's go
0:21
ahead and get into today's cleaning
0:23
video.
0:25
I used to think that always having a
0:27
clean home was only for moms or
0:29
homemakers that either had more time,
0:31
more money, more help, or just had it
0:33
all together. But now I know better. The
0:35
truth is that clean homes don't come
0:36
from just doing everything. They just
0:38
come from doing the right little and
0:40
consistent things every day. So today,
0:43
while I clean my kitchen, I want to go
0:45
ahead and walk you through 10 small but
0:47
very realistic things that people with
0:50
clean homes do every single day. These
0:53
are not going to be Instagram perfect
0:54
habits. These are going to be real life
0:56
habits that bring order and calm without
0:59
the pressures. Whether you're cleaning
1:00
along with me or you're just watching
1:02
this video while sipping a cup of tea or
1:04
a coffee, I think that this video is
1:06
going to be helpful and motivational for
1:08
you. So, the first thing that people
1:10
with clean homes do is declutter a
1:13
little bit every single day. This one
1:15
might not be a surprise for you if
1:17
you've been on my channel long enough. I
1:18
talk a lot about decluttering. People
1:20
with clean homes don't just clean. They
1:23
also own less. Not all at once, but
1:26
little by little. A drawer here, a bin
1:28
there, tossing away broken toys, letting
1:31
go of whatever no longer serves you. All
1:33
of these decluttering tips. Not a
1:35
one-time event. It's just a mindset.
1:37
It's asking, "Do I need this? Is this
1:39
blessing my home? Or is it cluttering
1:42
it, making it more for me to clean, more
1:44
for me to manage, which is also going to
1:47
take up more time? and you're probably
1:49
going to be doing a lot of it every
1:51
single day. So, the less stuff that you
1:53
have, the easier it is to keep up with
1:54
your home. So, start small and just keep
1:57
going. I highly encourage you to
1:58
declutter. Another thing that people
2:01
with clean homes do is an evening reset.
2:04
Instead of trying to do it all at once,
2:06
consider an evening reset because it
2:09
takes a lot less time. Something that is
2:11
actually tangible for you to be able to
2:13
do every single day. Instead of trying
2:14
to deep clean all at once, just do an
2:17
evening reset. Not a perfection routine,
2:20
a peace routine. Do the dishes, wipe the
2:23
counters, a quick vacuum or toy pickup,
2:26
putting everything back where it belongs
2:28
with a light stem, the candle lid if you
2:30
really want to romanticize it. But it's
2:32
like tucking your house into bed so that
2:34
the next morning you get to start fresh.
2:36
Even if the whole house is still a mess,
2:39
resetting just one or two zones every
2:41
single night will definitely make a huge
2:44
difference and make it a lot easier for
2:46
you the next day. Number three is to
2:49
tidy as you go, not all at once. We
2:51
often imagine cleaning as this huge
2:53
hour-long production, but clean home
2:55
people don't wait for cleaning day. They
2:57
pick it up as they move. They toss the
2:59
wrapper into the trash when walking by.
3:01
They grab the socks on the stairs as
3:02
they go up. They wipe the bathroom
3:04
counter right after brushing their
3:06
teeth. It's just these little touches
3:08
that typically take less than a minute
3:10
or two in the flow of real life, not the
3:12
massive overhaul projects. And the
3:15
mindset makes such a difference. And
3:18
number four on my list of 10 things
3:19
people with clean homes do every single
3:21
day is using laundry as a daily anchor.
3:25
Most people don't do five loads of
3:27
laundry in one day on a Saturday, but
3:29
instead they do one small load every
3:32
single day, or at least most days of the
3:34
week. It keeps the overwhelm down and
3:36
gives your day a productive rhythm.
3:38
Folding laundry during nap time if
3:40
you're a mama and putting it away before
3:42
dinner, using it as like a built-in
3:44
reset is just helpful ways to stay on
3:47
top of it because it takes a lot longer
3:49
to fold five loads of laundry than it
3:52
does to just fold one small load of
3:54
laundry that you're doing every single
3:56
day. It almost becomes like a rhythm in
3:58
your day that you're not even actually
4:00
having to think about it and you're no
4:01
longer dreading laundry day. So, think
4:03
of it like brushing your teeth. Doesn't
4:05
feel like a chore. It's just hygiene for
4:08
the home. Number five is clean surfaces.
4:10
Clean homes tend to have clean surfaces.
4:12
Not perfect, but just clear counters,
4:16
tables, nightstand. They're kept tidy.
4:18
Not because the people are like neat
4:20
freaks or even minimalist, but because
4:22
visual peace impacts emotional peace and
4:25
visual clutter kind of just makes the
4:27
whole room look a mess. When your
4:30
countertops are clean, for instance, the
4:32
difference here in my kitchen with this
4:35
countertop being cluttered, I feel like
4:36
my entire kitchen is a mess. But just
4:39
having my kitchen counters cleared off,
4:41
it feels like the kitchen is a lot less
4:43
cleaner, even if I didn't do a deep
4:45
clean and mop the floors yet. When
4:47
there's just too much stuff on everyday
4:49
surfaces, your brain can also feel
4:50
overwhelmed. So now I ask myself, is
4:53
this surface serving me or is it
4:55
stressing me out? And then I just go
4:57
ahead and put everything back where it
4:59
belongs. and even get the family
5:00
involved. I'll leave like a little pile
5:02
of things where my son has some of his
5:04
toys and things that he needs to put
5:06
back or maybe my husband left a few of
5:08
his things on the counter and I
5:10
respectfully allow him to put his things
5:12
back. Once I'm cleaning off the
5:14
surfaces, like for instance, this here
5:16
messy table, it just makes the whole
5:19
room feel a lot lighter and a lot
5:22
cleaner. So, I try to do this every
5:23
single day so that it doesn't become too
5:25
overwhelmed to where it's going to take
5:26
me a ton of time to do it. Number six is
5:29
the right now rule, which kind of goes
5:32
back to cleaning as you go. If it takes
5:34
less than 60 minutes, then just do it
5:37
right now. Wipe the mirror, toss away
5:39
the junk mail, straighten the towels,
5:41
wipe the counters. Do not overthink the
5:43
little stuff. Just do it because small
5:44
wins do add up and the mental clutter
5:47
will definitely overwhelm you. It's not
5:49
about perfection. It's just about ease.
5:51
One minute at a time. Number seven is
5:54
closing the kitchen every single night.
5:58
There is just something liberating about
6:00
closing the kitchen. Just after everyone
6:03
has finished eating dinner, you make
6:06
sure that you clear off all of the
6:07
dishes, clear off the dinner table, put
6:09
the dishes in the dishwasher or wash the
6:11
dishes, clean off the surfaces, sweep
6:14
the floor if the kids have gotten any
6:15
type of food on the floor. Again, you
6:17
can romanticize it by lighting a candle.
6:20
But once you are done, blow that candle
6:22
out, turn off the kitchen light, and
6:24
close down the kitchen. And it gives
6:26
closure to the day especially if
6:28
majority of your day is spent in the
6:30
kitchen and also gives you a fresh start
6:32
the next morning. Try this tonight and I
6:35
promise you are going to feel the shift
6:37
especially when you wake up in the
6:38
morning. Number eight is they start with
6:40
a bed always. Even if the rest of the
6:43
room is chaos, a made bed changes
6:45
everything. It's quick, it's simple,
6:47
it's momentum, and it is a small win
6:50
first thing in the morning. It also
6:53
helps you to start the day with
6:54
intention. So, think of it as a reset
6:57
button that you can just press every
6:59
single morning as soon as you get out of
7:00
your bed and make it up. And it's going
7:02
to quickly become a habit to the point
7:04
where you're not even going to want to
7:06
see your bed not made up anymore once
7:08
you walk into it. And throughout the
7:10
day, instead of wanting to just climb
7:11
back in the bed and relax in the bed,
7:13
because your bed is made, chances are
7:15
you're going to find somewhere else to
7:17
spend your time maybe with your children
7:19
or with your family versus getting back
7:21
under those comfy comfy covers. I know,
7:24
I know it's hard, but number nine on my
7:26
list of 10 things people with clean
7:28
homes do every single day is keep your
7:31
cleaning supplies handy. You don't want
7:34
to always have to be looking for your
7:35
cleaning supplies. They don't keep all
7:37
the cleaners and far away cabinets and
7:40
cluttered underneath the sink. They keep
7:42
essentials where they use them. For
7:44
instance, I keep my room and dustpan
7:46
right to the side of my kitchen pantry.
7:48
Of course, I'm in my kitchen pantry
7:50
throughout the day when I'm cooking, but
7:51
I'm also inside of that little cleaning
7:53
closet throughout the day so that I can
7:54
clean as I go as well. A small spray and
7:57
cloth in the bathroom, dish soap and
7:59
sponge ready by the sink. You don't need
8:00
a big large cleaning caddy. You just
8:03
need your cleaning supplies to be
8:04
accessible when you need it. When it's
8:07
easy to reach, then it's easier to
8:09
maintain as well. Number 10 is to keep
8:11
morning and evening rhythms peaceful and
8:15
simple.
8:17
You want to be able to create space
8:19
between the chaos. The morning should
8:21
start slow, maybe with tea or coffee, a
8:24
candle, a morning walk, or an empty
8:27
sink. I know some people like to do a
8:28
full on workout in the morning. And if
8:30
that's for you, then that's amazing,
8:33
too. I used to like to walk on the
8:35
treadmill with podcast. Whatever it is,
8:37
just make sure that it's peaceful,
8:39
whatever that means for you. And then in
8:41
the evening, those are your windowns
8:44
with calming rhythms, maybe tidying up a
8:46
space or two with like some gentle
8:48
music, romanticize a little bit, and
8:50
make it a flow, not a rush. It's not
8:53
about having a perfect day. It's about
8:54
protecting those little edges, starting
8:56
and ending with peace. And when those
8:58
edges are peaceful, the middle of the
9:00
day feels much more manageable as well.
9:02
So if you've ever felt overwhelmed by
9:03
your home, just know this. You do not
9:06
need to be a clean freak. You do not
9:08
need to even be a minimalist. You just
9:11
need a few simple habits and a whole lot
9:13
of grace. Declutter a little. Reset your
9:16
evenings. Start the morning with a made
9:18
bed. And also just start right where you
9:20
are. So, let me know down below in the
9:22
comments which of these 10 rhythms do
9:23
you already do versus some that you may
9:26
not even thought about and you're
9:27
excited to try. So, if this felt like
9:29
that gentle encouragement that you
9:31
needed, let me know by liking this video
9:33
and share it with someone else who you
9:35
think is craving peas at home as well.
9:37
Don't forget, if you're new here to
9:39
subscribe for more soul living, biblical
9:41
homemaking, motherhood, and simple
9:42
rhythms that bring joy back to our
9:44
everyday life. And I hope that you found
9:47
this video to be helpful. Let's go ahead
9:49
and finish this out strong. I'm just
9:51
going to go ahead and let the music play
9:52
out while we finish cleaning together.
9:54
Thank you so much for watching and I
9:56
will see you guys in the next video.
9:57
Happy homemaking.
10:08
Like an ocean without land. Not a single
10:12
grain of sand.
10:14
I'm drifting on it.
10:17
So cold
10:19
yet warm.
10:21
Can you hold me
10:24
when you close?
10:26
I know.
10:29
I know.
10:31
I'm a lost case.
10:33
I'm a mess.
10:36
But everything
10:38
everything feels
10:41
a little bit a little bit lighter with
10:45
you. Something's
10:48
letting me heal.
10:50
You're making it making it brighter
10:54
right through the grave.
11:30
Nat.
11:34
Hope is the last thing that I need. Want
11:37
to feel something that's real
11:40
with you. I get that
11:44
you're like a lighthouse in a dream with
11:47
a distant but your beam
11:50
is guiding me home.
11:53
So cold
11:55
yet warm
11:57
when you hold me.
12:00
in the clos
12:08
case.
12:09
I'm a mess.
12:12
But everything
12:14
everything feels
