CLEAN WITH US: Cleaning our home as a family of 7 (Encouragement and Tips)

“Your house must be a disaster all the time with that many kids!”

“There’s no way your house is always that clean!”

“How do you keep the house organized with five kids?”

“They must have a cleaning service” (HA! I wish…)

We’ve seen and heard and read all of the comments, and yes, most of them are accurate! Sometimes, our house is a mess, but it sure is the kind of mess we’re grateful for! We love spending time together as a family, even if that means taking some time to pick up after ourselves to keep the house tidy and organized.

Scripture tells us, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” 1 Corinthians 14:40 - Our home shouldn’t be any different. This is the place where we spend the most time together. It’s where we welcome our family and friends to enjoy fellowship and life together; it’s where we pray together, read the Bible together, and learn and grow together!

Home is also where we laugh together, cry together, encourage each other, and in this case, clean together! We hope inviting you into our home to clean will encourage you to realize that nobody is perfect, that everyone has a mess to clean up, and it’s a blessing when others pitch in a hand to help!

We love you all and are so thankful for your encouragement and support and for being a part of our lives!

Love,
Chad + Erin

    Chad is a treasure just realizing how exhausting it can be to care for kids during the day…most dads just come home ready to eat and sit not realizing how tired their wives can be as well. Team work does make the dream work especially in families. It is a truly Christ centered family when the father is an upright example to lead the household💞
  • @MouthyMiriam
    Cleaning the house before bed is pure genius Erin…. You run all of their energy out cleaning and then off to bed..

    WOMAN you are blessed and I know that you know it!! Your husband and family are exceptional! I love what you are teaching your children by action!

    Hello everyone in the comments. Hope you are all doing well. I saw a couple comments about Chad doing all the work and Erin basically doing nothing. I just wanted to defend Chad and Erin and say they are a God fearing and loving couple who loves their family and each other very much. Chad said in the video they tag team and that while he is gone at work and Erin is home with the kids, he wants to help out and give her a break. She does so much taking care of 5 kiddos plus homeschooling. She is pregnant and she has had some health issues with her pregnancies. I'm sure he wants to help take some of the load off of her so the baby and her are safe. Erin and Chad are wonderful parents. They also take care of each other and are so good to one another. I know it's easy to judge a situation without knowing the full story. I know Chad and Erin inspire me. Such a beautiful family. God bless the Paines and everyone here.

    Erin you have a wonderful husband. It's beautiful to see his willingness to help out with chores. And what an example for his children. Your family's legacy will be amazing. May God continue to bless you. ❤️
  • I'm sitting here in awe of Chad's involvement! No wonder yall are so happy together!!! God blessed you Erin
  • Erin, thanks for showing viewers a glimpse of your life and what godliness looks like in a day to day family dynamic. I love how you and Chad show your love for the Lord in your actions of partnership and humility when serving your children with patience. ❤

    Chad said “we love being a family”. I love watching ya’ll be a family with so much of God’s love radiating out from all of you! ✝️
  • Chad, you are correct. It's a great life. With it comes work and responsibility. You are the greatest dad and husband as Erin in a wife and mom. Your kids are blessed and will be great. You both were raised right! God bless your family even more.
  • @pamelamaurer2076
    You need to be sponsored by a cordless vacuum company!! That would make cleaning even easier with your little ones!!! So adorable that everyone helps. I love waking up to a clean house
  • @dblakecampbell

    Love this video! You should do one on grocery shopping and meal planning… because grocery shopping stresses me out 😭😭 kids eat so much, so fast and I can’t keep up.
  • @laurilance5986
    Chad is a wonderful partner and dad. Erin is a great mom and wife. I love watching your family's journey and appreciate you sharing with us.

    This was so cute and the gospel music in the background was very soothing. What a great idea to play it while cleaning as a family . ❤️

    A friend of mine always says, "put your house to bed" which translate to just what you all did in this video. To wake up to a fresh, clean space, starts the day out right. I saw this saying and I believe it is so true: "I am grateful for: Early wakeups=children to love; House to clean=safe place to live; Laundry=clothes to wear; Dirty dishes=food to eat; Crumbs under the table=Family meals; Shopping to do=Money to use; Toilets to clean=Indoor plumbing; Lots of noise=kids having fun; Endless questions=kids learning; Getting into bed sore and tired=I'm still alive. We have 2 sons and each of them have families of their own. They too pitch in with dishes, vacuuming, dusting, laundry, etc. All of which makes this mama proud! Thank you for sharing you family!
