Our eldest daughter was extremely lazy. No matter what we did, she remained very lazy. She's still young, almost 21 yrs old. She has gotten slightly better and expresses that she would really like to become a homemaker and farmer, but she still doesn't do much to back that up. (Still doesn't help us out at all) I pray she ends up like you. Finding her motivation, giving up her selfish mindset. I tell her all the time that life will be different once you find a husband and have your own kids. You'll find that Mommy wasn't a nag, she just wanted you to learn and be prepared for life outside of this home. 😂

This makes me feel so much better about getting my kids to help out with chores. Family used to give us so much stick over it. Which honestly I didn't understand because I had to do lots of chores growing up as the eldest of 4, and when i say lots i mean a lot! I think I was making up for dad not helping with anything home related and mum being overwhelmed (she still did a lot!). When my sister was older she got some chores too but the other two siblings got away scot free lol by then life was calmer I guess. Anyway, hubby didn't have to do anything growing up (youngest of 3) so we were chalk and cheese lol good thing I like taking care of a home and hubby is always willing to help but I get a lot done being a sahm. I think it's awesome teaching kids to help from a young age, they're gonna have to do it later so why not teach them that skillset ❤️

I've watched you off and on for years and you make everything look so easy. In truth, I had the wrong perspective on my homekeeping. I looked at everything as if it were a chore, but it's not, it's a reflection of my husband and I. I took on the responsibility of being the homemaker, homesteader, while he provided the means, and he is a huge help to me. But if you can manage a home with 10 people, because of this very thing, then I should be MORE THAN capable of doing it for the two of us!

I'll be praying for you, during this season of life. I say this because I suffered with no understanding of what was wrong with me. Several decades later I can reflect back to that time. It was nothing that I had or had not done right as a mother. The physiological issues were a struggle I had no clue what was off, I just knew I was off. My best strategy was to worry about the dust for later. Only now to focus on clean clothes and dishes and nutritious food in our bellies. Mom must rest every chance given. Avoid putting pressure on yourself to do ALL (or any) of what seasoned moms with several kids and YT channels do. Just do your best for today and rest well knowing that. And never be afraid to ask a family member or friend for a break. Remember this season soon will pass and enjoy the peaceful moments with your baby(s). May God bless you and keep you. ❤

For front load HE washers, if I have something really dirty such as muddy clothes, I will run a quick cold water wash without detergent before I wash the regular wash cycle. This action makes the dirty clothes heavier because the clothes are wet when I begin my usual wash cycle; therefore, the weight of the clothes determines how much water goes into front loader. Personally, I would never return to a top loading washer HE or the old fashioned agitator. I wash cloth diapers using this method, they always come out clean, and stain free. I hope this helps someone!

You are 100% right about dishwashers! You definitely have more items in the kitchen so you don’t have to constantly run the dishwasher! As far as washers go…I got rid of my high efficiency front loader because I hated it! I love my center agitator with the setting for full fill so that the clothes get agitated and washed properly. I love the double rinse. ❤

You definitely have to be organized. Your voice is so calming and you make everything look easy but I know you work hard❤

Love watching your little shadow! He is adorable ! Brings back memories with my boys. ❤❤

I have always loved your minimalistic homemaking ideas, like having less clothing per person and being able to get the house back together in 30 minutes. We just moved and i miss having an “old school”washer with a center agitator and dryer like you’ve got. (You have Speed Queen, I had Maytag). I have the “new” front loader type like you mentioned and I didn’t know I’d have to prop the door open to keep it from stinking, keep the detergent dispenser open and cleaned, and drain the hose periodically. Drying takes more than twice as long. Then, there’s the computer…On our first load, the machine stopped after 45 minutes and said we had a water leak and needed to get it serviced. So, in some ways, the “new” modern things make homemaking a lot harder!!

They knew to put whites such as underwear and socks in the white basket and everything else in the colored basket. When a basket was full I threw it in the washer.
