day now over there it's all things outside of cleaning and organizing we
have a ton of fun we laugh because trust me you're gonna have a good time so
without further ado let's get into it so not only are we whipping this basement
into shape but there's a lot of other stuff that we're gonna do here in fact
I'm gonna need your help so make sure that you stay till the end of this video
because I need your opinions I need your suggestions because you ladies are
absolutely awesome I'm also gonna be showing you a bit of a toy hack that I
use with my kids we have a kitty surprise coming our way as well and then
I'm actually going to take you through all the storage in my house there's
quite a lot of it here we purchased this home about a year ago so I thought it'd
be really cool to see the storage because I don't know about you but I
kick out on that stuff alright I'm gonna be popping in and out here let's get
excited if you're cleaning alongside me awesome let's do this together and if
not by the end of this video you're gonna be a river and ready to go
truth be told every time the basement gets like this I get overwhelmed just
looking at it and the thoughts of starting the project because there are
so many little pieces here are a bunch of little finger puppets that go in the
specialized container but I cannot find it for the life of me so I'm just gonna
stick it in one of these bins and hope for the best
those bins don't have any sort of real organized manner but hopefully I can
find that little cover here now time to put the rest of these items away what
I'm showing you here now are some hidden gems just kidding but if there's a
container a purse or something to put items in my kids will fill it up to the
max
and lo and behold I have found the finger puppet container buried here in
this footrest what am I telling you hallways and nooks
and crannies so here's my little hack here I don't know if you necessarily
call it a hack but I feel better about it I'm going to put the purses where
they all carry all that junk and I'm just gonna hide it with blankets so they
have access to it but it's not right out in the open
now I'm just gonna lay down some carpet deodorizer I really love this one it's
fresh and not too overbearing but you got to make sure that you let it sit for
15 minutes which is really hard when you're cleaning so that I can really do
what it needs to do when I vacuumed for me it feels like the finish line like
yes the end is almost in sight at least for this room now here's the kitty
surprise I figured why doubt carpet deodorizer is sitting I will go ahead
and clean this up if you have a cat you know what I'm talking about I love this
resolved pet expert this is just something that we always have on hand
and it seems to do the trick pretty nicely
I always have a ton of these raids on hand so I can use them for various
projects so many is one for cleaning up this cat puke I'll use one for the
toilet and then when I move on to the bathroom I'll use one for the mirror and
for the countertops once you get the mess all cleaned up what you want to do
is go in with a vacuum and it's a good thing I did this because there were some
left over pieces I know TMI I'm also realizing that I want to go in with a
second coat here just to really get it as best as I can this carpet is pretty
thick and so things can get caught in there very easily now we're moving on to
vacuuming the rest of this basement
so I'm feeling a little lazy today rather than move this baby sort of cage
saying toddler cage thing I'm not sure what you call it I'm just gonna go ahead
and stick my vacuum in there rather than pull it across the room and then move
the toys put them back and while I'm at it I will go ahead and vacuum up the
bathroom here
here we are in one of my favorite places in her house this is one of our storage
closets and you can see I have a ton of Dollar Tree bins and I just pull these
out as needed depending upon toys maybe I need it in my son's room for
organizing certain pieces of clothing so I just have a ton on hand there which is
really nice I'm giving you a tour here this shelving was all here when we
purchased this home which is so nice this has been such an amazing god-sent
here previously we had a townhouse two townhouses actually and they had minimal
to no storage so it was just a cluster so to move into this house by this house
and have all this storage this is another storage area across the hall
this is where cat you know food and duty is you can see there's tons of space in
here this when it's not quite as organized just because we don't want to
put a lot of stuff in there where the cat also does her duty here we are
moving under the stairs so this you all is filled with baby stuff completely
baby stuff it's crazy how much that stuff can add up I'm holding on to it
I'm not having more babies that I'm just not quite ready to part with it yet
so this is another playroom that we have in the house the previous owners use
this as a workout room I'm not going to tidy this up it's not half bad today and
that outside wall there is where our backyard is so we've talked about making
that a bedroom or something like that but for now it's a nice storage area I'm
gonna go ahead and finish vacuuming up this hallway I thought about putting
some pictures in here but generally it's pretty dark there is some auto lights in
the bottom when I back walk to and from my office that that corner hall there is
my office I don't bring you in there for confidentiality reasons but there is an
office back there all right just tying up some loose ends
here and then we're gonna move on to another part of this house
okay I need to ask you all an honest question do you move your couches and
vacuum underneath them because I never do it's so sad but do you move them here
we are in the bathroom I'm just showing you a b4 just so we can see the
transformation I have to put these little foam things under the door
otherwise it closes especially when filming I want to keep it shut so we can
get the best view here you're wondering what those are for
here just some bags that I'm unpacking I keep these freezer Ziploc bags on hand
that way whenever I'm traveling I could put shampoo or liquids in there but I
just saved them if they're not yucky and we had just gotten back from
traveling so I was just showing you there what we get I love to change the
garbage first thing here's some Clorox toilet bowl cleaner I'm going to use
this up but I did buy a method brand that I'm really excited to try but I
really want to go through this stuff first and of course my cleaning gloves I
have to have these I got some really great recommendations from you ladies
for a pink one someone try those out and I mean you see is disinfecting wipes too
wiper on the floor here I'm not going to be mopping it but you can only imagine
what you know lurks around the outside of the toilet so this is making me feel
a little bit better rather than pulling up the rug this is a brand new cleaner
that I got here it is the Wildflower I absolutely love the smell and again a
brand new cleaning cloth
now I'm just gonna wash off my cleaning gloves I don't use separate ones for
when I clean the bathroom or the kitchen I treat my gloves like I would my hand
so I wash them with hot water and rub and rub and rub that way I just have to
worry about one set of gloves and I make sure that they're cleaned up at the end
of each use just putting some random miscellaneous things away here is a
method a glass cleaner that I like it is mint it smells nice it's not too potent
and it comes in a really pretty bottle and again a brand new cleaning cloth
and the last thing that I clean here is the inside of the sink because it is
gunked-up with toothpaste and other things and I wouldn't want to rub that
around on the other surface here is the finale when I clean the bathroom is they
put a brand new hand towel down and it's so exciting it feels so fresh and so
clean and shiny and I love just getting ready in a clean bathroom and now it's
time to put the rest of this stuff away this I'm gonna spray in the room this is
honeysuckle by mrs. Meyer room spray it smells so good it's not too powerful it
lingers just enough but I would highly recommend this one now we are moving
upstairs I like to start on the couch it's kind of for me like making your bed
if the couch pillows are all in place the living room looks just a little bit
more tidy we got this couch at Ashley French or last year and we love it I
always wanted a big sectional and luckily we were able to move into a home
where we were able to get that and stains come out of it pretty nicely
there was something I don't know what it was on the corner and it came out so
fast putting the rest of these toys away and then we're gonna again lay down some
carpet deals oh my goodness that is such a hard word to say carpet deodorizer
these are some flowers that my husband recently got for our anniversary I love
fresh flowers I think they brighten up a space so nicely now at our local farmers
market they usually have a ton of good flowers but this year I did not get
there I'm just showing you back behind that little kitchen place that were a
ton of random toy seat toys are always lurking in the smallest of spaces
I would love to someday to have a big flower garden and to be able to crawl
back and fill your vase with fresh flowers and decorate your house so
that's some on my bucket list for sure
this is so gross every time I vacuum I fill this thing up
it's disgusting to think about what's lurking in our carpets and I vacuum once
a week for sure sometimes twice a week so you know maybe that's my problem but
like I said this channel is cleaning and organizing for busy women so just doing
the best I can with the time and that I have here all right next thing that
we're gonna do here is move on to our master bedroom I did a big clean the
other day in here so there's not too much I need to do just a little tidying
I also am very excited I just purchased some new bedding from Target
I'm excited here and I learned a new fold it's called the hospital fold there
for the corner so I'm excited to show you that here in my next video or so
depending on when those things come many of you may already know what that is but
I ordered sort of a quilt instead of a down comforter I'm just excited to try
something a little bit new and here is the decor this is what I got at Hobby
Lobby I just love this and it was not 14.99 I believe this was half off so I
need some ideas about where I should put this I'm gonna put them in the location
today here but if you don't like it definitely let me know I'm gonna be
adding some pops of color here in the bedroom I'm actually going to be
changing it to sort of a navy and blush and I'm also interested in getting some
new bedroom furniture we've had this one I don't know for many many years not
that table but the the bed and the dresser here in the bathroom is where
I've placed this other one just a little pop of color I'm decorating here slow
and steady I'm very picky about what I put in my house I have to love it
here we on my son's bedroom they are finally sharing so I'm going to be going
with this if you watch my Instagram stories or this woodland creature themed
kind of a Bri be brave I'm going to use some of these teal pops because I had
this comfort around hand it's too big for his room now and these are some new
prints that I got at Hobby Lobby I thought they were just so sweet and cute
so this is going to be part of a room decor that I do here in the next month
or so and again this is as well so I wanna know from you in the
comments do you like where I put these items do you not let me know I
definitely want your feedback because you ladies are absolutely awesome also
