Shannon you are the absolute BEST! Thank you so much for doing this series with me, I luv & appreciate ya so much friend! 🥳🥰😘

Oh Shannon, Hearing that cleaning can be self care is something I think I really need to lean into! Wow that means a lot to me.

For any viewers coming from Danni - Shannon is the most lovely soul - she's been an absolute joy to watch - and the wonderful motivation she gives me is always a huge help. It also helps when she shares her own insecurities and troubles - I think that's a blessing because there's so much shame that can be associated with not being perfect and Shannon deals with that with grace and wisdom. I adore Danni, by the way, I've loved her for years - she's a gem - both ladies have such positive energy and both ladies are learning and it's a joy to share their journey.

You are so right about looking at cleaning differently. The FlyLady says to change your mindset and think of the cleaning as blessing your family. Those words have totally changed my attitude. Great job on your kitchen!

So happy that my two favorite KZfaqrs are collaborating! You are both so real and I so appreciate that.

I used to dislike cleaning intensely because I did not like repetition. One day I realized that cleaning my home was an act of love for my family. Not a problem since.

What a great job! Approaching 80, caring for my 97 year old mother, I finally hired someone to come help with cleaning every other week. Now I have time to do cleaning jobs, gardening I simply have had no time for, let alone energy.

One day my husband randomly decided to clean the litter box. I was never more attracted to him.😊

Hi, Shannon! Danni Rae sent me! I have watching both of you for awhile. Can’t wait to see your video. Keep up the great work! Hugs.🥰👍💜🌞🌞🌞

I hate all cleaning - vacuuming, dusting, bathrooms, kitchens etc. etc. etc. However, I love organizing. I love to declutter. I love things to be picked up and neat and straightened out, but my furniture needs dusting, my carpets need vacuuming and cleaning, my bathroom gets cleaned every week, thoroughly, and my kitchen is maintained but the oven is disgusting, and the refrigerator could do with a sort out. I wipe up what I see and spills, of course, but all of my corners need help. I have 4 cats, so the battle is real people. Cat hair 27/7. So, I do vacuum but the cat hair still wins, and my corners are hard to get to with furniture being so heavy but I'm working on it. I do projects better than deep cleaning. I live in an old house, and I have 4 outlets in my kitchen, and you have 4 in one corner of your cupboards - jealous! I already follow Dani and love her quirkiness - besides, we are fellow Minnesotans. Fun collab. You've got this girl.🔆🔆🔆

Shannon, I watch Danni as well. I am so glad you guys are doing a Collab together. It’s like having two of my friends meet at lunch. You’re both so great. 😊

I grew up the same way. My mom was super woman SAHM. She kept a tidy house, fed and picked up after three girls and a husband. We didn’t have any chores until my parents separated. We were 9, 11, and 13. Mom was going through an awful depression. So us girls decided we needed to help mom in our new home. The oldest did the laundry, the middle one did all the dusting and the youngest took out the garbage. As we grew up our chores changed. But again I made a mistake in raising my own the same way plus holding a job outside the home. I couldn’t do it all. I’m so thankful that my spouse took on grocery shopping and laundry and I could do the putting away and folding/hanging. He even took on occasional cooking. I do still regret not delegated some of the household chores to my sons. But I had friends that kind of shamed me for not doing all the chores during the time I was a SAHM and part time outside the home worker. The struggle is real. Letting go of all the baggage is necessary. You’re an awesome person Shannon. Thanks for the motivation!

Pro 14:4 - “Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.” This verse greatly encouraged me when I was homeschooling my children. I kept busy daily picking up after and ministering to my children but, oh, how rich my life was (and remains today) because of my precious family.

I am so glad I found your channel...I SO DON"T LIKE TO CLEAN MY HOUSE!!! When I was your age, I was a single mom and did what I felt like I was supposed to do. My house was always clean and my friends used to tell me I was always cleaning... I think I used it all up!! I'm 60 now (can't believe that either) and I don't want to do anything :-( I have a cat so I know I need to vacuum more but I don't. My house isn't piled or anything but I just don't want to sweep, or dust, or clean..... HELP!! I love how you share scripture and your faith. Keep it up girl! I think you are amazing!! 🙂

I am so happy that you two collaborated! KZfaq are both my favorite KZfaqrs to watch if I need inspiration on cleaning and decluttering. Your video in particular really helped me today because I too get negative when I have to clean up after others in my house, so thank you very much for the Mind switch to help get through the negative.

🌞 Enjoy watching your videos so much ❤

I love Danni!!! So cool seeing 2 of my favorite channels collab!

I disassociate from cleaning. I am listening to music or a favourite radio programme, talking written a friend while my hands are busy creating a comfortable environment. I choose to consider cleaning not a chore, but doing something needed to feel better, like washing my hair, doing my nails, exfoliating, brushing my teeth or clipping my toe nails, nothing enjoyable in itself but something that's part of my self care routine. And of course it's very important finding methods to be as effective as possible and to keep it clean/tidy as long as possible, to avoid feeling it's an endless battle that takes too much of my time.

I wouldn't say I'm a "chore lover" but I love having a clean and organized home. I do enjoy doing laundry 🧺. 😊

I’ve been subbed to danni for a looong time,,,,she’s adorable,,,,

I love how you and this channel lift us up and lift up other KZfaqrs who are trying to make it. I think people who like this channel would also like Dorman Family Circus. I just found it today and she is also a mom trying to declutter her house. I love this uplifting women who are putting in the effort ❤

Spreading the Word of God while you work!! Awesome! 🙌🙌🙌

Oh girl! I feel you about the quick to anger thoughts. My husband also spoils me. I was fussing about how the laundry was being done this weekend, while my wonderful hubby was having a folding party. I just had to voice it and wanted him to hear me out. :) I am very grateful for him and all he does. I just can't keep all my thoughts in my head. I know he blows it off with tons of grace. But I am doing a better job at keeping thoughts to myself but have a way to go. I too have people in my life that reinforce those negative thoughts about my motherly/wifey duties. I have a great husband that makes sure, I don't believe what I'm told. And I am better at crossing those ideas of others from my mind.

I love both you and Danni. ❤

Love your videos. The mystery stainless steel kitchen appliance with holes and cups is an egg poacher. You put water in pan, put desired number of eggs want to cook, heat on stove to almost boiling, break egg and put one in each steel cup and cook until desired firmness. I got one with a set of pots and pans I bought when I got engaged over 60 years ago.

You are looking so great! You seem more energetic, it looks like you're moving with ease and you just look and sound more lively. You glow inside and out! 🥰

I will absolutely start my Spring Cleaning… as soon as spring starts in about 6 months. One perk of living in the Southern Hemisphere. 😉 Great content as always. 🥰

OK so I love to clean when I was a teenager. I used to clean my mom‘s house all the time and when I got my own home, I still love to clean my friends would say how do you keep your house so clean and have a full-time job. Now I’m 66 years old and my house is not always clean and there’s a lot of things I do that I don’t like to and I don’t know why it’s so hard I guess it’s just my age. I enjoy the video your kitchen looks beautiful. See you soon.

One thing that helps me get something done, whether it's cleaning or putting something away, is being tired of having to think about doing that particular action. That spot on the bathroom floor? I'll see it when I go to use the facilities twenty times a day 😂 Doing it and getting it over with means I can IMMEDIATELY relax afterwards!!!

You are HILARIOUS, girl! Our cleaning styles are SO different, but our humor is the same. I love watching you because you remind me that differences are fine! We are not meant to be the same and I just love your laid back ness(is that even a word? LOL) and positivity.

I use cleaning and organizing as therapy. I put on great music and the moving of my body gets my heart pumping. It makes me feel so good. ❤ it gives me peace

You did a good job on your cabinets! I also love Murphy oil soap. They also have a spray bottle that really comes in handy for in between cleaning. Spray it on and take a wet microfiber cloth and wipe it off. Easy Peasy !

🌞 I look forward to watching y'all collaborate. I love that the confessionals started in the kitchen! I feel like that's the most loved AND hated area.

Avoid using vinegar on natural stone, it becomes etched. Regular decluttering is the key-less stuff makes it easier to have a home for everything and make cleaning easier. Great job, Shannon🎉

Hi Shannon, I’m so happy that Danni introduced you. I have written to Danni to let her know that I have issues with cleaning and decluttering. I’m really overwhelmed; I tend to clean the same things over and over, then I’m too tired to actually start the actual decluttering stuff lol. My dream is similar to yours in that I picture a lovely, clean, decluttered home whereas the counters are cleared and I can actually make a cup of coffee without pushing things out of the way first. I dream of the beautiful aroma of clean. Actually I must be dreaming about living in someone’s home that’s not mine lmao. I’m trying though. I recently watched clutterbug and she explained to try to toss 21 items a day as a goal. I’m trying and getting there slowly, but it does make me feel good to do it.❤

I can't say it enough, you're a ray of sunshine. So when I don't want to do one of the chores on my list of things to do, I try and remind myself how long will it really take and how good it will feel to be on the other side of it. I can't honestly say I 'enjoy' the chores but I've begun to love the feeling of getting it done, and walking back into the house when the bathroom is clean, or the vacuuming has been done. I wipe down the trash can, or the inside the microwave when I first notice it is dirty. But my kids are older now, and I'm sure I just had so much going on when my kids were your kids' ages, that like you, I could sit down for a second and be asleep almost immediately. Feel free to prioritize, and teach each child how to do one thing in the house they would enjoy doing as part of their responsibility. You'd be surprised- plus, know their personality. I was a social person that enjoyed doing something WITH another person. Some need to be left alone to get the job done.You're doing a great job!

Danni sent me over, and I'm so glad she did!!🌞 Really enjoyed your channel and your spiritual encouragement too!! God bless your channel!

Shannon! You did an awesome job today! And all the work you’ve done on the reframing thoughts is music to my ears! So glad to see you happier! Big hugs! ❤❤❤❤ Em

You are spot on with mom humility. My devotional this AM was on humility. My prayers this morning were to receive more humility, to recognize what I have because my husband works, to be content and thankful. Devotional was at 5:30 this morning and Shannon was at 9:30. God sent me reinforcements, SHANNON 🎉. You have blessed my day and kicked my stinking thinking out the door. Bless you!!

I can relate to having a pessimistic mindset. I'm not married but a "friend" is staying with me for now and he is a slob to say the least 🤷🏾‍♀️. He does wash the dishes and his clothes but it's at his leisure so with that the clothes will sit on the floor in front of the washer for over a month. He never cleans the stove. I work and go to school and I clean up behind myself (as I should) so I'm always doing something so with his ways I have more work to do. Just patience and give alot of grace. I don't expect a deep clean every day but if you make a sandwich put the stuff back in the fridge don't leave it on the counter and wipe up any crumbs. I don't see how married people deal with it. It's good you and your husband has worked out something that works for y'all.

You are definitely my soul sister. I used to base my worth on the cleanliness of my house too. It’s exhausting, both mentally and physically. I would also blame, and feel resentful towards my family for not helping me, and letting me do all of the work. Years later my son said, Mom, it was too hard to help you because no matter what we did, it wasn’t good enough. Boy did that hit me in the gut. Thank you for being the real deal. I always look forward to your videos.

Shannon, love your personality and your random faces you sometimes let us see. I really appreciate you sharing your videos and I enjoy watching your channel. I do also love when you bring your faith into the videos. Thanks again and God bless.

Great video, especially about the selfishness. My husband works all day and I don’t have to, so I don’t ask much of him. Everything is my job. Maybe that’s wrong, but it’s the way my mind works. He’s appreciative of his clean home. That’s enough for me.

☀️☀️love your channel. I’m empty nested, downsized and decluttered; spring cleaning is so much less of a chore. I line the top of kitchen cabinets with wax paper, I basically just remove the old wax paper and put on new. Voila!

I’m subbed to Dani’s channel, too! 😊😊😊

Hi Shannon....I love the idea of looking for a blessing in things we're not fond of doing. I'm going to try this immediately. Thank you for you. I LOVE your videos. God Bless. Fondly, Dorothy.

Giiiirrrrl, my mother had a full-time job as a maritime clerk and customs declaring agent. She got home and the entire household fell on her. My dad? The poor lad (sheesh) vacuumed and did the dishes. At least he helped, but the laundry, ironing, rest of the cleaning tasks? It all fell on her. She barely slept 4-6H and then next day, early days, had to get to work. My dad drove to work, my mom went by train (Antwerp harbor) and then had to still walk a while. Only 2/3rds into her career did she go to work by car. My father had it easy, though she never ever complained, I never heard a peep from her. Back then (my mom is 78) it is what women did in my country. If you wanted a career, you had to pay the price so to speak. Women actually got punished for wanting a career. And my dad just shrugged and said "I don't make you have to work." but thanks to my mother we have our own home (my dad could care less if he owned a house or not). Women are so underestimated. And yes, when I was a teen, I helped my mom, I learned to do laundry, I learned so many things. My mom comes from a home of 10 children and she was the eldest girl, so all of a lot fell on her back then as well, no wonder there was never a peep out of her, she grew up like that. Her doctor once told her when she once asked about working out (because it was all the rage) "if you work full-time, if you run your own house top to bottom, you have enough exercise"... and boy ain't that the truth!

I wasn't taught cleaning or finances or laundry or cooking or how to work through feelings or about my body... yeah.. working to change that now as the mom.

You are in your crunch years with your 3 kids! I had 3 kids so I understand. But you can love each day because your family loves you. You are lovable. Take one day at a time.

🌞Hello Shannon. Popped over from Dani's channel. Love (and needed to hear) the message reminding us to be Grateful in all things.

Great job Shannon! Danni is hilarious. I've seen a couple of her videos. 🌞

This video was so encouraging! I’ve been feeling that heaviness lately. Everything I try to do the devil gets in the way. Thank you for the pep talk! 😁

You did a great job. Getting on hands and knees to clean is a challenge for me any more. You are inspiring.

Hi Shannon. Just a thought about the espresso machine, maybe put a cheap sponge in the reservoir to catch the overflow, and then just rinse and wring it dry and replace it (you can also put them in the dishwasher). Them drips are going to happen and it may be easier than using the napkins to soak it up.

Been following Danni from the beginning, looove her style. Great collab ❤

Dang... that espresso machine story got me thinking. I find myself being pessimistic a lot too and will get mad at my boyfriend for not doing enough of this and that. But often times, it's just that he does other things or he didn't even know something has been an issue. Definitely got humbled like that on multiple occasions!😂 thanks for sharing :)

Ich habe die Lust an der Ordnung und dem Putzen erst spät entdeckt . Je organisierter ich wurde und mit dem Entsorgen von vielen Dingen wurde es immer besser, weil ich mich nicht mehr so viele Dinge hatte und putzen musste. Gleichzeitig habe ich damals immer nur in Sektionen geputzt und ich manchmal nach der Hälfte der Arbeit einfach aufhören musste, weil ich so gestresst war. Aber ich habe mich immer gefreut und den Teil gesehen, den ich geschafft hatte. Das machte das Weitermachen leichter, weil ich stolz auf mich war. Nach vielen Jahren frage ich mich bei jedem Teil das ich kaufen möchte ob es mir auch gefällt es zu putzen. Zu 90% gehe ich dann ohne Einkäufe aus dem Laden. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland und gebt nicht auf !

Girl, I hear you about the espresso machine! I never use it - I actually can’t drink coffee that strong - and it drives me bonkers when both the machine and the area around it are dirty. But then I remember hubby works all day, making it possible for me to be a homemaker and do my own things, so cleaning the espresso machine is not so big of a deal, I can do it, and I’m happy he gets to use a clean machine.

I love you sooo much!! You’re true and you always try to find the positive in everything. You’re a breath of fresh air. If I was living nearby, we would probably be friends. Here’s a quote I like from William James. I think it fits you right. Act like what you do makes a difference. It does !!♥️😉 Keep going and stay just like you are.

Shannon this was by far your best video. I heard what I needed to hear for so long..thank you dear.

Also I love how much you bring up the Lord and the Bible!❤🎉Thats what it’s all about

I've been watching Danni for years, she's fantastic!!!

Shannon your doing great. I am one of those ppl who lives cleaning but not with being unable to do hrs at a time cleaning I get upset, but I love Jodi Dunn channel bc she does a small amount at a time. Now with my limitations I do that but I love all cleaning but I hate doing dishwasher bc that was my job from childhood. So keep up the great job. 1 day at a time. I just cleaned all inside of my kitchen cabinets. Until next video 😊

Thank you so much for discussing your thought process when you're frustrated with your partner. I just had a baby and struggle with distributing the new duties equally. I get so upset with him.

🌞 Thanks Shannon, You're a ray of sunshine for me in the UK England xx Love the videos, 😎

Agree 💯 with the negative vs positive thinking, however, I don't think you're being pessimistic when you are irritated that someone leaves behind their messes for you to clean up, even someone you love, even someone who does sweet things for you. Leaving his mess with the expectation that you will clean it up is inconsiderate, and it's clear that he loves and cares for you, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to not leave messes for you. I'm really bad about leaving a mess in my bathroom in the morning, I'm working on it. But I don't expect anyone else to clean it up for me.

I love Danni! She's so funny 😁. Shannon, I find your personality comforting and reassuring. Was having a bad day, and knew one of your videos would make me feel better ❤

Kiwi s cleaning is a channel I watch ! She will tell you she doesn’t know how to clean and has been on a journey to learn and take care of her family!

Amen Shannon I agree 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 you go girl !

Love hearing your newfound wisdom! Chores I hate - laundry and dishes Chores I don’t mind - cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming, organizing closets and drawers

☀️ It's always a pleasure to watch your videos!!!

The resetting (erica lucas) mentality has helped me most recently. And having a weekly loop schedule in place for my home helps. Moving from the abstract to focused. Knowing what needs to be done and will get done. Lessens the mental load. Helps recovery after sickness. No wondering of where to start.

Awesome collab! You two have a similar vibe that I love... the real deal of homemaking.

I'm visiting from Danni's channel. I think I'm going to feel very much at home here 😊 🌞

Oh my goodness Shannon. I love Danni. I watch her all the time. Thank you so much for giving God the credit for your energy. He has helped me so many times push through the dishes. I love watching your channel. And, I am going to use your to do list for myself. Love you! May God send you blessings for sharing Him with us. 🌞 ☀️

"Cleaning is a family responsibility in our household. We encourage our children to keep their bedrooms tidy and clean up after themselves. They are also responsible for taking their clothes upstairs and putting them away. To ensure that they have enough time for their after-school activities, we limit the number of chores they have to do."

I have been planning on a deep clean of the outsides do my kitchen cabinets since Christmas. Spring break here I come. Thanks for the inspiration!!!😂

I love Kim's cleaning service

You're killin' it friend...😘😘🙏

Great job, Shannon!!🎉

OMGosh Dani is one of my FAVES ❤

Fellow homeschool mom here! You are so fun!

Oh my goodness.....you and Danni are two of my favorites!!! I enjoy both of your channels so much. I look forward to new videos from both of you. You guys are so enjoyable to watch, as well as, motivating.

I look at chores as a gift for my future self. Now me looking out for future me.

Good job deep cleaning your kitchen , Shannon !!! That's something that I really need to do and keep putting it off. Shame on me ! I'm hoping that I'll get motivated by watching you. Wish me Luck ! :)

Re negative thoughts… what you feed, leads! Love listening to and watching you for motivation. I am naturally a cleaner and organizer but that doesn’t mean our home doesn’t get dirty or messy.

You've come a long way Baby !

☀️🌞 have a great day!

hi Shannon, great cleaning today. I've just finished cleaning the oven, a job I hate doing, like you my attitude is why do I have to be the one who cleans but today I tackled it with a positive attitude and its now all sparkling clean. I'm already subscribed to Danni, she is funny and even funnier when she is with her mum. Keep well xxx.

Love rhat you do a collab. Been a fan of you for years shannon and been going back and watching Dani's videos. Only really watched her recently and was like... Is that me making videos. 😂 Clearly she has an over thinking mind like mine so it makes sense that you and her also click since I click with you. ❤😊 Love when the like minded nd real people collab. I feel like friends qith so many of you KZfaqrs and i alwaysblove seeing you all over lap and work together. Pretty sure everyone i watch is linked in some way 😂 small world. Keep up the great work and sharing your inspiration ladies. Lord knows I will forever need it. 😊 Always great to see the huge wins and progress you all make even if lif gets in teh way you always get back to it. 💪

Dani is hilarious! But she gets the job done while smiling. Love making checklists. Get a little thrill checking off items. Still looking for a gloves.

I love dusting, couldn't be easier, instant results!

Love the checklist Shannon. I’m going to print it and keep as a master copy. Thanks!

Shannon, the thoughts you mentioned while you were cleaning your coffee maker really resounded with me today, and it made me realize I've got to switch up some of the negative thoughts that come into my mind so easily. Thank you for that. Also, Steven is a keeper! I love his gentle, caring heart! Thanks for being more stubborn than the devil and getting this video out!! 💜💜💜 I think you foiled his plan beautifully. 😉👏🏼👊🏼👍🏼🫶🏼

lol, I thought I was the only one who sometimes pretends I’m the cleaning lady at someone else’s house 😂

Great job! Now for me I would rather clean than cook.

I, identify with you on the poor me syndrome and angry mean mom/wife. After I hear you say what you say, I need to change my mental words to myself as well, and Thank the Lord as you say with think on things that are good, pure, honoring to the Lord and Thanksgiving ❤🎉❤ yes, Satan get behind me! Amen sister ❤❤❤

I love your videos. Theyre always inspiring for me. I get tge socks thing. I hadnt worn socks in years. In winter when its cold here in jersey, i just always wore uggs without socks. If you keep your pedi up during winter, theres no dead skin to make them stinky. Suddenly this past fall, im always wearing socks. Sometimes 2 pair. Not only to keep my feet warm but for some reason, my feet hurt less with them on. Im also full of inflammation, i have lupus, fibro, sjogrens and RA. I mean, why just have one problem when you can have many, lol? Anyway, i started taking a beginner yoga class almost a month ago, once a week, and it does help with the inflammation and flexibility. I bump into things often so when i started, i had problems with some of the balancing but im keeping up with it and yesterday morning i took a 2nd begin class in a week and i didnt have to put my other foot down to rebalance myself at all!! Its definitely helping with that. Ive also noticed that when i have to go somewhere else to exercise, it makes me feel better mentally too. Its time thats just for me, ive met several women who also started bc it helps the inflammation they have from chronic pain/illness, bc im putting in that effort for myself, im naturally going more towards the healthier foods and wanting to be more active. We're all different so idk if something like that would be helpful for you, i just figured id mention it bc if anyone needs time to themselves and self care, its you. You work, you have the kids and dogs and homeschooling, plus a house and a hubby. Whatever it is, i hope you find the time for the selfcare that we all need and deserve, whether it be an exercise class, a book club or kicking the hubby and kids out for the day so you take a bubble bath and order whatever takeout food you want without having to worry about cost or picky eaters!❤😂

💜🙏 Love Language: Acts of service, even toward yourself!

Hi I came over from Danni’s channel- good job on today’s video
