Instagram Andrea Jean 1 I love Instagram stories I love connecting with you all
it's just a free-for-all over there ton of fun anything is fair game over there
completely random because as you know here this channel is just dedicated to
cleaning and organizing for busy women I'm gonna be popping in and out of here
during this cleaning motivation video so join me let's have some fun and as you
can see here I'm like really getting the nooks and crannies of this table this is
not only the table we eat at but it's also the kids craft area as well so it
gets pretty gunked-up
here is our little kids craft area and the baby he's just one he loves getting
in here and tearing everything out so if I need a free moment I'll set him over
here and just kind of open up the play-doh tinker toys there and he just
goes to town but while I'm down here I see that there's all kinds of stuff
stuck to the wall so that's the thing with cleaning you start in one place and
then you realize how much dirt and gunk is really all up in there
now just making my way around the loop here in the kitchen and getting this all
cleaned up
now on to one of my least favorite chores and that is emptying the
dishwasher this is my chore in high school growing up like I was so low a
dishwasher emptier and so I think I've grown to not enjoy it whatsoever but
it's gotta be done so I figured I might as well just get it out of the way let
me know in the comments what's the one chore that you dread
you
you to meet the hubs his name is just and you'll see him sometimes here in my
videos but he's just working on some stuff for his business and as you can
see there I had a slip onto the tripod to get in here to start cleaning but I
got lucky today my two toddlers were with their Grandma and Grandpa I was so
grateful for that and then the baby is currently sleeping but you see here in
the next few clips that he wakes up and I get them all settled in with some
stuff because you know how it goes as a mom or just a busy woman there's
constant interruptions and you just got to do what you got to do and oftentimes
you don't have two hours three hours set aside just to get your house all clean
and in shape now I'm very satisfying but a lot of times that's not real life
so as a gift of doing the Walmart grocery pickup they gave me this goodie
bag and I've been going there it's new in my area the past three or four weeks
and every time I go they give me all kinds of good loot so I was just sorting
through that stuff to see what I actually wanted it's crazy when I look
back at the footage here in real time cleaning it looks so darn slow I
honestly wish that we could a time warp here and clean as fast as we do here on
these time lapses wouldn't that be awesome how much time we've had for
other things in life
I had a YouTube friend recently come into my couch she said how do you can it
to be so white and I'm like girl it's only a year old so that's that's the
first way and in the second way we don't let our kids eat on the couch so I think
that helps but yeah they still have grimy fingers and I'm sure in time it's
just gonna get dirty like you know any other coach so it's new and we don't
have food and it will get dirty in time now on to getting this bathroom and
tip-top shape
so I really wanted to clean all my floors this day but one there was not
enough time this whole cleaning routine here this took me over two hours and if
I were to add floors to that it probably would have been you know a three three
and a half process and also we had some company coming so I knew the floors
we're gonna get pretty dingy there we keep our shoes off in the house but you
know with companies you know it's not always the case especially with summer
and kids and us going out of the house so quickly so I didn't get to the floors
today but that's quite all right
if anyone ever tells you that cleaning is not a workout are lying to you all I
was so it tired by the middle of this cleaning routine that's just how it goes
you're moving and grooving and getting all the nooks and crannies and so I love
having coffee that definitely helps and then some good tunes to keep me going
but yeah cleaning it's a lot of work it's a nice workout but uh yeah I was
definitely tired here
so this betting is kind of like a light pink pale color and I really love it but
what drives me crazy are the wrinkles so I'm a nut sometimes I'll go by randomly
throughout the day if I see it and straighten it out but there's always
little wrinkles on the side that I'm trying to get out it's a lost cause but
once it's all a nice and straight it looks really nice here we are moving on
to the basement we're going to try to finish up the rest of the toys here you
see I have the baby in the little playpen there this is so helpful I got
this a couple years ago and hadn't really used it until now especially in
our previous houses that we had two townhouses so this would not have fit in
there so now it's just perfect I got him a snack when we were upstairs and now
he's just ready to play a little bit while momma finishes up some cleaning
unlike I mentioned earlier we have some company coming so I just wanted to get
here and really fresh and everything up my husband still has some items there on
the floor for his reselling business this is where he does a lot of his stuff
so some point here he'll come down here and put all that away I do not touch his
stuff I just leave it where it's that and that works really really well
sometimes it frustrates me though with stuff laying around but you know after
15 years it just you just kind of get used to it
so I'm also gonna tidy up this bathroom downstairs and get it all cleaned up I
don't mind cleaning bathrooms I actually find it really relaxing I know it's a
little bit weird because it's gross and and whatnot but I I don't mind it
you can see this generic disinfectant cleaner that I'm using I don't love it I
don't hate it I've had it for a while now but I'm just trying to use up the
products that I have and I think this is the the last bottle of lone Ranger's
neglected Rangers that don't get you so I'm going to use this up and then there
are a ton of cleaning products that I'm just dying to get my hands on so me and
Target are gonna have a heyday once I finish up using this cleaner
once we've been to our kitchen one of the things that I really want to do is
see the sink there if you're not cleaning alongside me we hardly ever use
that so it's not really functional as you can see here just but a bunch of
junk gets dumped there so I'd love to have some sort of storage seating area
where they could hang their coats so that is my goal because it's just it's a
mess and I jump in here and I'm constantly going in trying to clean it
out
I appreciate you being with me here today it's always way more fun having
you alongside me and take care y'all
