In today’s video I invite you to follow along for a week in my life as I try to figure out how to juggle all the plates and still find time to enjoy family life! There will be LOTS of cleaning, a little decluttering, but also a date night, some lovely walks in nature, self care sessions, and a glimpse of our garden transformation! I hope you enjoy!

  • Remi, I’ve never commented on a YouTube video before but the way your videos have changed my life over the past year or so is pretty drastic. Your attitude of gratitude has helped me fall in love completely with my life. I have such an incredible outlook on life now. You constantly pushing yourself to always do better has pushed me to go back to school even though I’ve been told not to bother. Your kindness and non judgmental nature continues to remind me to be kind to others always and pushes me to be kinder to myself. I know you probably won’t read this, but I wanted to try to let you know how much you’ve helped me. And how it really does feel like I’m listening to a friend, while I clean my apartment. You should be so proud of yourself. Thank you.
  • I'm probably in the minority of your viewer demographic but i just wanted to say Thankyou Remi! I'm a 30-something man who is a former British Soldier. Suffered with depression and aniexty for over a decade now. A byproduct of this is trashing my house to the point of no return and wondering how on earth a man who could previously be so Regimental would allow his home to get so disgusting. Your videos have helped me take back control of my home. And make it a place for my children to come and visit. Couldnt of done it without your honest videos. Cheers 🖤
  • Remi, you are a God send, I am a 65 year old woman with 4 grown up children and 12 grandchildren. I work full time and look after my aging 85 year old dad since my mum passed away 2 years ago. I also have chronic rheumatoid arthritis and a heart condition...my tiredness gets the better of me every day, so instead of watching someone who has a huge home and has all their ducks in a row, with lots of ads about over priced products, i choose to watch you!...you are real, and caring and always make me feel good about my small achievements no matter what. It is not easy to keep up with everything and I am also a serial worrier when it comes to my children, grandchildren, work and dad, it gives me endless nights with very little sleep, so getting up at 4.30 for work exhausts me...I love to watch how you cope and still manage to help us feel good about ourselves and show us how to combat this tiredness into getting things done, especially when you do the speed clean..my house is tidy but could be so much cleaner..and your video on clearing and re-doing your cupboards has inspired me. My house like yours isn't large and is easy to clutter, so I love to see how you deal with these issues..I find you truly amazing and uplifting. I live in Australia so at least have a lot of sunny days to lift my mood, but you are second to that Remi...I always come away from your videos feeling good and inspired. Keep it up and I will always follow. Marjorie
  • When my children were small my Nan said cleaning the house while children are growing is like shovelling snow while it’s still snowing , a very true statment .
  • Your children are so blessed to have such a loving mum and dad, a safe, and creative home.
  • Girl, you are SO hard on yourself! You're doing what you can - like the rest of us. Give yourself a pat on the back for making it through each day. XX
  • You are such an awesome person. Working rotating shifts and raising small children is massively challenging by themselves. Those are the "something's got to slide" years.

    I woke up this morning mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. When I saw the state of the house I cried and couldn’t stop. I made myself a coffee and had breakfast, a feat in itself with how messy they kitchen was, and then I opened YT to put on some of your videos to body double with, as that really helps me. When I saw you had dropped a new video, especially with the title of this one, you have no idea how much of a boost this gave me. I cried a few happy tears, and I’m now about to watch and clean along. Thank you ❤
  • Remi, I am a qualified counsellor and I adore your wisdom. I am in awe of this wisdom and your mindset, as well as your transparency. You are such a beautiful, kind and compassionate person and a wonderful, WONDERFUL mum. Thank you for being MY therapist! lol ❤🫶

    Your sweet boy folding the laundry with you was heart-warming. You are doing a great job of teaching those boys by your example. Thank you for sharing the honest and difficult parts of maintaining a home and a family. It's so refreshing to see a real home that looks lived in by real people. ❤

    Minimalism saved my life when i had the little ones , buy paper goods, hire a cleaning lady once a week for the floors and bathrooms and change linen if possible, keep less toys , and avoid decoration objects . Its the only way i can keep sane...

    My mom taught me that a perfect house is a lived in house. A perfect house is a house that you can tell kids play in, meals are made in, a family is comfortable and loved in. Our house was clean but lived in growing up and that’s how I am with my kids now and I how I look at my house ❤ it’s cleaned but lived in.

    “Some days I don’t know who I’m going to wake up as” OMG so accurate!!!
  • Remi you are such a beautiful woman, mother, partner in a world that needs shining lights like you 😊Thank you Remi😘
  • Who just loves remi she's the best after watching her videos i feel better. These videos are reality, so please don't judge her if she's actually amazing. If u dont like her, don't watch. Stop being horrible take your comment somewhere else so stop being nasty leave her alone
  • @chickadee317
    Remi you are SO pretty! I don't think I've ever seen an extended close view of your face before now but omg 😍
  • I really enjoy these longer videos with a day in the life. Keep up the good work Remi!!!❤

    Remi, you must start thinking of the time picking up with your son by your side as your TIME TOGETHER! He’s enjoying it. He’s learning. He still gets his cuddles whenever he wants one and you’re chatting with each other. It’s great! Don’t think of it as time wasted from doing fun stuff. It’s fun to him and we can see it. And productive for you! Win-win!
  • Remi, thank you for a new video!! They bring me joy and get me motivated to clean. As a fellow neurodivergent mom, I love your talks and they seriously help me so much ❤️ Love you friend!
