- In this weeks video I am going to start the big project of decluttering my garage. It is currently in a state of disaster and there is so much clutter in it 🤦♀️
It will definitely take me more than one week to complete but I’m going to get as much done as I possibly can.
Decluttering my house has definitely impacted my life in a very positive way. I’m so much more at peace in my own home ❤️
The Tom Bilyeu video I referenced in the video is here. It’s a great listen with tons of mindset info.

Thanks so much for spending some time with me. I’d love to hear any projects you are working on 🤗
I laughed so hard at "you guys are ready for the end of the world." I am pretty sure thats what people say about my stockpile too, behind my back! I strive to have a paper towel/toilet paper stock like yours. It's beautiful.
Tonya I had a plumber here recently and he said the same thing 😂😂😂
Watch out we all know theyll be coming to your house when the end of the world happens 😂
You are a saint. I live in a house of 75 square meters with two floors (it is a fairly common size around here) and when I lost my childhood dog, I kept his mattress, his toys and his leashes for years. I take a long time to get rid of things and only handed them over when I saw other owners and other dogs needing them. If not, I didn't and it was after going through years, I say it again, years. Every time someone made the slightest comment I would explode in fury. Your times are yours. I reiterate you are a saint and very polite, may I add; I would have answered.... outrageous things. Because that's what they deserve. Happy for your garage and the help of your husband, waiting for the next video, greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Cecilia you are so right! Our times are our own and not for anyone else to understand. I still have all of Gus’s toys, food dish out, leashes and even his food. I probably should have donated his food but I just wasn’t ready and am still not. Sending you all the hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗
My Grams who raised me since I was two passed in 2021. I have a whole room with just her possessions. I haven’t been able to even open the door since I put it in there. When you where wiping down u grandparents dresser to give it to someone else. For some reason maybe it was just timing but I cracked the door open and took a small box out. Cried the whole time but else one right. Basically just wanted to say thank you.
Hi Jodi!!! Wow. Great change in the garage!!! Gramma's china...bring it in & use it on "family night" once a month. Big bowl for popcorn. Platter for pizza or fried chicken or even biscuits. That's when the memories you make will bring her in again.
Fridge...adjust the legs or use a piece of wood just under the front while level sits across top of fridge. That will help you level it.
Shelves: yep better where they are....end of the world comment... people who don't plan ahead always say stuff like that.
Roller seats...great memories there!!!
Your hubs is a treasure.
What's left doesn't equal a mountain anymore now it's just a few molehills. 😆.
Thank you for sharing.
Everytime I watch your videos I leave each and everyone thinking god....she is just so precious bless this beautiful family , love y'all Hun
Oh my gosh that’s so very sweet!! Thank you ❤️❤️
I just love having a second refrigerator in the garage. Don’t react to negative comments. People don’t know you and shouldn’t make assumptions about what you should or shouldn’t do or feel. Love your channel and keep being you! 😃
My daughter struggles with staying organized and keeping her house clean. I love how you have realized you struggle in that area and you are working to find ways to combat it. Your channel is so inspiring and I know you are helping others out there who have the same issue. It helps me understand my daughter a little better too. I am a very organized person and love a clean house (I may be a little OCD) and it is hard for me to understand those who are not. It seems so simple to me but watching your channel makes me more understanding. We are all different and have our strengths and weaknesses. Thanks for being open to your journey and I enjoy watching how successful you are at figuring out how to find ways to overcome it.
You laughing with Donna Jean was the best! EJ is gonna have a roaring good time with that thing in just a few years. You just continue to inspire me! Your garage is like: "Hey, wanna come chill out with me? I've got cold ones in the fridge, and treats in the freezer!" Love it! Hugs 🫂
I am so deeply sorry that people think that it’s okay to leave comments like that. It’s awful. I’m sending love and hugs. I enjoy watching you and your videos. I’m so happy that I found you.
In my personal experience it's best in a relationship if there's enough, let's say, common ground so that at the very least you don't drive each other crazy (especially with quirks and habits!) plus some traits and skills that complement each other. Complete opposites... would not work for me, it would lead to endless fighting 😅
By the way, I'm new to your channel and in the process of watching your decluttering playlist 🙂
I'm a minimalist and very experienced with decluttering, selling etc., also quite tidy and organized, and a bit of a prepper.
I enjoy watching other people on YT declutter their homes and getting their lives back on track. It's inspiring and I'm still able to learn new tricks and insights.
Anyways, hello! 👋☺
This is my second video I've watched and I love love love the mindset do "projects in portions" so that it is not overwhelming but progress is made making the mental note "okay I'm taking a few days for this" so as not to overwhelm self-expectation or leave room for self-defeat. Healthy!!! I recognize my self in this you then whittle the peripheral down to complete organization, clean, sell, donate, recycle, reuse, throw out!!! Now Going around in circles has a sane ring to it!!!😎👍✝️💜🕊️🐚
Jodi I love your videos so much! Even if there was 100 videos from your garage, I would watch them all! ❤️
Awe thank you so much Amanda 🤗🤗
That’s so funny how we keep furniture our grandparents had. I have my grandmother’s old dresser and I use it for storage of bath towels and light bulbs and other small stuff. I used to have her china dishes that I passed on to my daughter. I don’t have big gatherings anymore and the dishes just took up space. The dresser is also holding my spare tv in the spare room so I guess I will keep it. It is hard to part with things you treasure and grew up with. I feel you! You are doing a great job!👍🥰💜
What I hate the most about Social Media is the ability for people to be rude behind a keyboard. Sorry that someone felt they could comment that way to you. So happy you can move past those types of comments. Great work on the garage.
So sorry that someone was rude to you. We all grieve at various paces and in various ways. You take your time, Gus was you furbaby! I laughed at the mover's comment about being ready for the end of the world! LoL!! Yes, we couponers are!! FYI the garage floor is created a bit slanted so that water "falls" away from your door and out of the garage and NOT into the house. You can turn the legs to raise the refrigerator at the front to level it.
your grief is just that it's yours. no one can know when you are ready to let things go but you.
Very true Michelle ❤️
Sometimes the littlest thing will push a very deep very, sore button. Specially when we are fragile emotionally. It happens to the best of us. One of my mantras nowadays is "I am not responsible for your emotions. I am only responsible for my emotions and my reactions." You will be fine.
Whoa! I've been watching the whole playlist in order. But hubby moving the shelves requires a comment even though an old video. Great job! It looks so nice! 🌻🍄
Nothing inspires me more to clean than my husband saying he's going to help. I hate cleaning but I hate someone helping 'wrong! We use to deal with used furniture. Solid wood and dovetailed drawers. Also check if that yard sale table is Mersman. It was a big name on the east coast. Loved seeing all that dirt going bye bye.
Oh Valerie that mage me laugh…helping “wrong” 😂😂😂 I can do relate to that
OMG Jodi, first thing I noticed were those tubes that look like donuts. My kids had those too!! LOL I used to have Home Interior parties and attend them as well. Those, Tupperware, and Princess House. I still have a bunch of stuff too from all of the above. Positivity only for sure Jodi! I always try to explain this to my husband. I tell him all the time, don't work yourself up over things others are doing or saying and wasting your time and energy because you can't control the other person(s), but you can control your reaction and your feeling toward what was said/done, etc. He doesn't get it most of the time and still wastes precious time and energy worrying about all that nonsense. And he can never figure out why things don't bother me in the same way and I always tell him, I control MY reactions and I choose to not react if it's a waste of time. Now, of course if something bad happens to someone I love or my son or daughter is sick, yes, I get a little crazy but that's instincts and emotions of a mom. I'm so excited for you to have that extra fridge/freezer. I'm sure it will be very handy to have. We actually have two plus a stand-up freezer because I do freeze a lot when I make big meals of different things and also freeze veggies at the end of the summer, and things like that. I think it's also awesome to have that extra space for things like big containers of iced tea and bottles and cans of beverages not taking up space for actual food. So that's what's basically in one of the refrigerators. And of course with couponing, if I'm able to stock up on something that is an awesome deal, there's room to put it. Unfortunately, that's not been the case as least as far as food goes for a while now. I used to buy a ton of Jimmy Dean bowls, biscuits, etc but I haven't seen good deals on those types of things in over a year now, unfortunately. Awe, so glad your hubby helped you. It is always nice to have a bit of help. Jodi, that looks SOO amazing!! LOL, I laughed because I typed about the drinks before you started doing that with the bottled water. I just love the garage and so happy for you having all that room and the fridge and your hubby's help, etc. I love it all so much!! I think I'm as excited as you! It's so fun seeing things go from clutter to no clutter and all that organization!
I love watching your videos as you have so much joy and laughter! For example, I was so happy with you when you got the fridge put in! Your husband is so awesome. I am not allowed to put anything in the garage unless they are seasonal, tools, yard-related, or seldom used things (coolers or suitcases). We have no basement either so it is a challenge. But he is right - our two cars are worth more to protect than my junk. LOL
Nice progress for Day One, Jodi. Congratulations on your hubs' gift of helping with a mindful heart. He was super! And your choices with the things you released one way and another were very smart and courageous. Well done, both of you. 💖💖💖
Sometimes you must spend some money just to have piece of mind. Last year we got a dumpster to get rid of stuff and the 😔 part is, the stuff we were hanging onto was mostly garbage, but we felt so much better after. Happy cleaning.
Susan that is so true! It was such a relief to have those things gone ❤️❤️
Hey Jodi, awesome work.😀 Keep on going even if it’s a little at a time. When you yourself look at you’re before and after, doesn’t it make you feel happy and proud? If so, that’s why you have to keep going. I’ve heard you say so many things in your videos that I’ve thought, wow so many things in common. I told you that I should send you a video of my house so you can see what we’re doing but it’s been a pain because in the family room I haven’t been able to put things together because I need to do a yard sale of to many things I have. And down here weather hasn’t been good. Now expecting heavy rain this weekend. Just hope no tropical storm. But for sure I have to do one. Lots of hugs and kisses for EJ hope he gets better and so do you. 👍 thumbs up not for your video but for you. And for anyone else reading this, don’t let anyone or anything get in your way, always feel proud.
Thank you so much Monica 🤗🤗
EJ is feeling much better ❤️
Just adore your bubbly personality.
Thank you 🥰
Y'all actually got alot done. It's so awesome your husband was willing to help even though you were filming. It's nice to see your other family members pop in your vids from time to time.
Wow your garage looks fantastic. Yourself and hubby worked as a dream team with all you got done and what ye got done was huge. Well done 👏 How lucky were you to get the fridge/freezer and to have the space for it yippee. Glad you spoke about how your improving your mental health, it’s so important and please know your helping me and so many others keeping us encouraged and motivated too. I know it’s easier said than done sometimes not to react but when your emotional (which you were and understandable so) it feels like things are magnified. Remember to treat yourself as you would a friend and be gentle, kind and give yourself grace too. Sorry to hear EJ was sick but glad to hear he’s improving. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪🙏💐🥳
Mary thank you! You always show up with a positive encouraging comment and I appreciate you ❤️❤️
Remember to treat yourself as you would a friend. That is the best advice ever!
Hope your day is amazing 🤗
Hi Jodi, I am new to your channel and I must say you helped me so much. My basement and garage looks like an episode of hoarders. The funny thing is I what is down there and nothing is ever lost. Ok I brought some steel wire shelves while putting them together I started watching your basement decluttering video. I’m not done yet but I wanted to say thank you for sharing. You are an Inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. I’m glad you figured out what was weighing heavy on you. It told me years to get to the point that I can’t spend any time on things I cannot control. Sorry for the long comments. I have to get back to my basement and garage so I can catch up on all your videos. “You Go Girl ! 😊
Veronica thank you for such a kind comment! Truly appreciate it and I’m so so so excited for you. You started and that is AMAZING 👏👏👏👏
Awe! Gus couch is gone 🥲 bittersweet moment. Gus’ couch might be gone, but his big spirit will always live in that house 💙
I’m glad your grand baby is feeling better! 💞💞💞
I can’t believe how some people think their opinion matters. Everyone has their own journey! 💗💗💗
i am so sorry for the loss of your beloved puppo. hugs.
It's your life and your journey. I keep telling myself when I get a negative comment. Buy some days it still gets to me. Then I get angry at myself. I am 67 I don't have tell to worry about stupid comments. I like the country song by Natalie Pearson "Let'em Talk". At least it gets it off mind. Great video,good job. Have a wonderful day!
It just depends on your mindset when you have to say goodbye to a beautiful pet... We had Blue our dog( Golden Lab ) who though he was a lapdog. Love him. But I'm glad you loved him. Sending 🤗 hugs
Wow! That’s amazing! You did an awesome job! I could never get that much done in a day!! I know it gives you a high just looking at what you and hubby got done! Amazing!!
I decluttered 60 years of stuff from my great grandfather’s shed. We inherited the house so I took the Memorial Day weekend clearing out old lawn equipment and trash. I still need to actually clean the thing but will wait until it has rained the night before. I put the good lawn equipment out by the fence and some people came and picked it up! I am happy it isn’t going in a landfill!😊
That dresser still looks good!! 😘👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I'm loving the garage decluttering & cleaning. So glad u donated all that stuff so others can enjoy it. Keep going
Thank you Lisa ❤️
garages are made to slant forward so it will drain-- just raise the fridge legs so that the door will slowly close-- love the video
Yes! We threw a couple shims under the front legs of ours and that did the trick!
Hello Jodi! I loved the roller racer 🫢🤣🤣 Your laugh was so contagious. You guys did a Great job 👏 decluttering the garage.
Liz those things got great use for a few years ❤️
Oh my gosh, I totally agree that opposites attract! My husband is my BFF and while we do have some common ground we differ on A LOT!
😂😂 The roller racers, I remember those!!
Heather I had never seen those roller racers until I bought them off Facebook marketplace
Big improvement! Wowza that chest was in amazing condition, especially for its age.
Hi Jody, I'm glad your grandson is doing better. My thoughts remain with you. I am super happy that in addition to removing the excess of things that are not useful, and are stacked, little by little you can get rid of sentimental things that belonged to your grandparents and your pet. But I like even more that you give yourself permission to incorporate a new table that you like and make a place in your house for the painting of your dream house. I think that taking out and taking out nonsense to become a minimalist with 4 mugs is useless, but it is very useful to take out what is not important to give space to what is. That's why I'm very happy about your findings. I was over the moon when you were able to buy the dishwasher because you deserve it with everything you save, but now with the new freezer, I have no words. More coupons for things that need refrigeration, was my first thought. Go girl! How happy your videos make me!
Hello hello hello..omg!! Glad your back.. happy to hear little man is feeling better.. garage is looking better thanks hubby for helping your girl..lol..I always appreciate when the hubs helps out..so funny when Donna Jean's riding that scooter thing...wow on the stock pile of paper products..see you next week
Thank you so much Michele ❤️
Great job!!! Looks so much better already. I'm looking forward to part 2!! Suggestion the table in the garage with the drop leafs, could it be used as Donna's craft table? It is beautiful and should be on display in your home!
Jodi!!! U did awesome. Glad your husband helped too! What a great transformation 👏 👌
Thank you so much Alberta ❤️
You are so bubbly I love your laugh it is contagious. Your accent is nice and some of your sayings are so cute and things ive never heard before. Love it!!
So glad he is getting better! Family always comes first, we'll be here when you have time.
Do we ever really stop missing our loved ones? So sorry for the sad memories . The garage looks great though!
Jodi, you always have such a fantastic mindset on things, it’s infectious. Thank you for sharing and posting. I’m so glad to hear your grandson is feeling better. The progress is amazing. Continue being you, cause you are awesome!
Yes! Agreed! I get so much out of your videos. The part on reacting! Spot on.
Wow! What a transformation!!!
That beautiful table on the right side of the garage would look beautiful in your front room 🥰😍
I want to thank you. You have such a beautiful warm loving personality. You spread it around in all your videos. You make my day. I can’t wait to next weeks. This is fun. Great job to you two. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
i love your videos especially when you talk about your dog, My dog cindy past away five years ago and i still talk about her. i miss her so much.
So glad EJ is doing better! And well done to you and Hubs on the garage declutter - looks amazing!xx
Oh that must feel SO good!! Amazing progress! 🙌😊
I love this garage declutter, your doing such a gin job throughout your home!!!😊❤️
You guys did a great job! I can't wait to see what you do with the other side.
Congratulations to the winners!
Wow, the garage looks amazing my friend!
Awesome job! We have our garage done but my craft/store room needs so much help. Thanks for the motivation! Have a great weekend!
Plesure to watch ..cleaning and declutter
The broom is doing a good job😊
So sweet of youre husband team work💪
Tfs
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
🥰🥰 nice declutter, part two I can’t wait.
Le sigh, thinks about her own garage 😳
Omg I am like your husband, I was totally thinking about moving the shelves next to the fridge Tetris style thinking how much more efficient that would be. In regards to the grandma's China collection. I have brought mine back as well and we are using it every day as plates and bowls etc. My partner has got his grandma's little bowls and we use them for sauces when eating Chinese food for example. Every time we use it I think of her and how she is part of my life even she is no longer with us. I have also recently decided to let go of a soup bowl from that collection that I never use and it felt totally fine, because I know I am using everything else. BTW. Not in a bad way- but I would clean and repaint those wooden built in shelves, but that's just me being the 'perfectionist'. I am sure once you get your garage back in order you will be happy to do more decluttering again. As I said before I love your channel and you always make me laugh. xx Greetings from France. Katerina
Your grandkids will love riding in the wagon at Grama’s house!
I also had to use a refrigerator after storage what I did that was successful was crumpled newspapers and fill the void in the refrigerator and freezer and also left open containers of Arm and Hammer . It was very successful there was no odor after three months.
Those type of old toys are great. Save the for your grand babies
I'm so sorry you felt any despair at all! I would have been a wreck too. I have been missing my fur baby. He went out to play a month ago and went missing. I cannot let it go! I've been bothering the neighbors, making flyers, switching out food outside and just making him kitty safe spaces in hopes he returns to me.... I feel like my heart is Breaking every time the sun rises and he doesn't return. I hope you found some peace. They are more then just pets.... ❤️❤️❤️ sending you love and light ✨️
Your videos always lift my mood - your personality and outlook is just infectious. I love hearing “hello, hello, hello!” and always love a Donna cameo. Great job decluttering as always!
Jodi, I truly love your videos!! You are so uplifting and realistic!! Amazing transformation 😍
Just discovered your channel I love it I keep watching your videos over and over you are beautiful and funny and you have a blessed familyI've been through this but after 9 years I God read of 90% of my stuff i am officially a minimalist now.... And I am really really happy keep making videos I am a huge fan of you love from Athens Greece
What progress you two made and so sweet to each other.🥰
Enjoying this; excited for part 2.
Thank you so much Christian ❤️❤️
I love watching your videos. Your laugh is contagious and always puts a smile on my face! You both made such amazing progress in the garage. The shelves look fantastic on the wall next to the fridge!
Family absolutely always comes first. Keeping your little guy in my thoughts and sending wishes of health his way!
Thank you so much Caitlyn ❤️❤️❤️
Good job Jodie! Can't wait till the next part.
Watching this made me realize I am thirsty! Wish I had an extra fridge-maybe someday. Nice how you recycle, share with family and donate as much as you can. Makes me think of the pay-it-forward school of thought! The after pics of the garage are very, very nice! Thank you!
i’ve been so excited for the garage cleanout. i think this and your basement are my favorite declutters, i just love seein the transformations. can’t wait for the shelves video :-))
Oh Cherice wait until I get to the finished part of the basement. It’s bad 😂😂
So glad you enjoyed this ❤️
Looking forward to part 2, great work. Love following you and your decluttering journey.
Thank you Deidra 🤗🤗
I just want to say you made me feel better. I’m feeling so lazy and overwhelmed with my home. But just hearing your laugh and how positive you are helped me get out of this funk. I was able to do a bit of cleaning and decluttering 🙂 Love your nails 🌈
Happy for you guys.
Love it Jodi, another fantastic video! Great to see hubby in action 👍
There is no time limit on grief. When you found your Grandpa's clothes it made me cry. My Pappy has been gone eight years now and some days it feels like the first day. I'm sorry for all your losses, it's never easy or fair. It is, however, free and easy to be kind to someone who is grieving
Erin very well said! I appreciate your kindness ❤️❤️
And I am sorry for your loss as well! Sending you lots of hugs 🤗
These last two days have been horrible for me but I knew watching this video and hearing your positivity would help. Thank you for always being such a joy and sharing what you do.
Oh Beekwa I hope you are feeling better. Sending you lots of hugs 🤗
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Thank you Jodi!
Hi Jodi. The garage looks great! I’m working on my front and back yard. I put my painting the first floor on hold until I get the yards done.
I just love the ending results your garage looks fantastic. 👍🏾❤❤❤
Looks great. I loved the way your husband jumped in and helped. It makes a difference to have help and support. Keep up the great videos Jodi.
Jodi! I love your video, Thank you so much especially for not doing the speed through with the irritating music thing that I have seen so much of on TH-cam. Husbands can come in handy sometimes when you need some power through.
The comment that mover made was hilarious, oh that was funny! I know sometimes it cost money to get rid of things more than what we want to spend but when you don’t have the physical manpower in order to move stuff out then it is what it is.
I like your new to you and table also
Wow what a great job !! and hubby did awesome 🥰 always nice to be able to have a extra refrigerator room too 🥰 I live it. With it being warmer out I turned my garage into a storage /craft room. Time to finish stuff or it goes kinda thing. Can't wait to see what you do next. See you next time.
Was so excitedly for this video!!
I love to hear you saying "hello hello hello omg" ❤ love your videos, keep up your amazing work. Love from Australia ❤
Thank you Megan 🤗🤗🤗
Hello.. New sub..and yes I remember that Home Interiors art... I grew up in a house with a wrap around porch... Grief is hard and it is never easy to let some things go... Kudos on the major clean out... TFS.. Have a wonderful week..
Thanks so much for being here ❤️❤️❤️
Why does this look fun?! You have great space!!
Jodi you and your house have come so far! It's a completely different house with probs half the amount of stuff. I am sending all good vibes to you and your family, you honestly deserve it!! xxxx
Looks great!! So proud of y'all!!😍👍👍
Thank you for talking about negative comments and how we need to try not to respond to mean people. They are not worth our energy. Your garage looks fantastic already.you always encourage and cheer me up!
Jodi you rock. What an awesome job . I have a car port so no stock piles for me. I am so proud of you (your hubby too), on how well you work together. Keep it up hugs!!!
What a huge, and wonderful transformation! Great job!
Thanks so much Dana ❤️ it feels so great to have room to move around even when the cars are in there 🥰
Beautiful dresser wish was closer I'd definitely buy it. Put a wedge under your fridge level it out .Hope your grandson is feeling better 🙏
I was so excited to see your video! Just wanted to pop on and say "hi"!!! In my family when something is messy they say it's 'shi**ed up'...so funny 🤣
That was amazing! My goodness me, such a transformation - I enjoyed it very much, thank you 😊
Thank you 🤗
Absolutely amazing job!! So happy for you !!
Thank you Deborah 🤗🤗
Watching you clean out your garage instead of cleaning mine. 🙄 but I’m motivated now….I can do it too!! Nice job!
Yes you can 💪🏼💪🏼
