hi welcome back I'm Andrea Jean and this channel is dedicated to cleaning and
organizing for busy women so if that is you hit the subscribe button and join
the community let's get into it I can honestly say I am looking forward to
cleaning I have just been itching for several days now to just take control
back in my house we're basically gonna do a whole house clean here on the upper
level I don't have time to get to the basement so we're just gonna do as much
as we can up here first I am starting off in the living room and putting away
a hall of those beloved toys I think oftentimes this is one of the most
time-consuming parts because there's so many trinkets that can go in different
places one trick that I have for organizing kids toys as you saw that
basket there so I'll pile all the toys in the basket that need to go to our
downstairs that way it just saves less trips and I can put everything in one
spot and really quickly
and now I'm vacuuming the living room here I absolutely love vacuuming I find
it so relaxing and therapeutic and you all if I had endless time on my hands I
would probably vacuum every day especially if I get to use some sort of
the carpet deodorizer it just makes it smell so lovely in here also I like to
see all the stuff that I sucked up in the vacuum it's disgusting and
gratifying all in one
now I'm moving on to the master bedroom at time to change these sheets
I love crawling into bed at the end of the day when I have fresh sheets on hand
let's get this lift into shape and extra cozy and comfy
now that we're done getting the bed all set and ready for later we're gonna move
on to putting some clothes away I try to do this about twice a week because they
really seem to pile up it's probably a chore that I hate the most
putting the clothes away sorting and doing all that so I tend to try to put
it off but yeah it's just not my favorite thing to do in the world and I
don't know why it doesn't take that much time but let me know in the comments
what is one of your least favorite chores
now that we got my son's room all tightened up really quickly I'm moving
on to my daughter's bedroom for some reason the lighting looks kind of yellow
in here but it's actually pretty bright and pink there in real time so for
whatever reason my camera likes to do that but I like to start here by making
her bed on the days that she didn't it's just something that brings me a ton of
joy I absolutely do not mind doing it I think it's because I got to do a room
transformation here and decorate it really cute and so I just like hanging
in here it's just a sweet place for her now I'm going to go ahead and just kind
of straighten things up here and again we'll vacuum in here as well
and now we're in our upstairs kids bathroom and I have to say this is one
of the easiest bathrooms to clean and I think part of that is because we don't
have a lot of extra things in here and I've cleaned it so many times I just
have a really great system of how I attack this so let's finish up here in
this bathroom and then we are going to be moving on to the beloved kitchen
and now moving on to the kitchen this is probably the one of the messiest parts
in our house because it's one of the most lived in areas you can see here
this is my kids craft area this is basically our everything now when I
clean my kitchen I tend to do it in the exact same pattern and I think I do that
because it keeps most of the thinking out of cleaning I can just kind of zone
off maybe listen to an audio book or some great music but I always like to
start here at the table and I think because it always looks the most
cluttered you know kind of like making your bed if you make your bed the rest
of your room looks just a little bit better well I feel this way when we do
the kitchen as well
and now that I've gotten the table area cleaned up and vacuumed under there and
gotten all those crumbs picked up I move on we'll call this like the perimeter
area of our kitchen so I just like to clean the counter tops off and then I
will go ahead and just fill up our soap dispenser there if it needs it and then
I like to spray off the counter tops I'm really loving this method cleaner it
smells so wonderful and you can see my tripod there just move quickly I have a
little helper with me here and it's always fun to have him around
I always for a good time and definitely keeps things interesting and keeps mama
on her toes I also have a candle lid it is a lilac one ah it smells so delicious
now we're moving on to the other perimeter of our kitchen here and I'm
going to work on cleaning the stove up this is something else that I really
enjoy doing as well
and now I'm moving on to the center island last but not least you can see
the far-right barstool if you're not cleaning alongside me if you're cleaning
alongside me that's awesome you can just listen as well but you'll see that I
always leave a variety of things there and that's my husband's little corner I
don't touch him that's his own free space to do with whatever he wants and I
can appreciate that so I just got to live with that compromise but what he
ends up doing he has his own business and so it's helpful for him to be out
and available looking after the kids and just kind of doing some miscellaneous
things especially when I'm at work so that is his workstation for now if you
ever wondering why I never clean that area that is why now we're going to
finish up here in the kitchen and then we're gonna make our way into our
laundry - mudroom we're nearing the end here
folks we've gotten so much done so far pretty much vacuumed the whole house got
sheets changed in the bedroom stream that my kids room living room kitchen so
last but not least is that mudroom
now that feels awesome to finally get my house back in order again I know it's
going to be messed up here shortly but I feel a bit more accomplished and a bit
more on top of my mom game if you're looking for some additional motivation
be sure to check out these two videos right here and we'll see you all in the
next one take care
