I have never commented on your videos before but I just wanted to compliment you are your pure and beautiful personality. You are a refresher :) I enjoy knowing that when I click on your videos that I don’t have to worry about swearing or bad content. Thank you for being a positive influence on TH-cam! ❤️❤️❤️
Amen to that! I just unsubscribed from a well-known comedian because he and his wife were bashing the president...don't go to their channel for politics...I go for comedy! I'm also thinking of unsubscribing from another channel if the person doesn't stop taking God's name in vain and using other foul language...her partner on the channel is so kind so I hate to stop viewing for her sake, but that one girl is nasty sometimes.
ok I am just going to say this...Bless your heart! and all the moms out there that have to home school their kids and keep their house clean..bless your hearts as well..it's a never ending process when you have kids... I know..I raised 3!
I agree ! I home schooled my three until the oldest was in the 6th grade...many days I'd crawl into the broom closet to pray ,cry,or have primal scream therapy. Good news is we all survived. All 3 are grown on their own and have jobs Yay!
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me get back in the swing of cleaning. I'm a nurse, wife, and mother of 6 that has battled psychological and physical fatigue due to lupus for years and i have allowed it to completely turn me away from keeping our beautiful home clean and organized. I truly believe your home shows how you feel inside and seeing your videos and digging deep down about my feelings towards myself has given me the strength and courage to make changes and get our home back in order. Thank you for giving constant motivation. You are a gem❤💛❤
I agree. I to think our homes are a reflection of what's going on, on the inside. It's not easy at all to push through when health issues are working against you. Some times doing 20 min in each room can be helpful. I'm glad you are doing better.♥️
@@suzyshoemaker7804 you are absolutely right, that's exactly what I had to, take a small amount of time to eventually get everything done. Thank you for your kind remark, it means alot❤
Oh my gosh this was so motivating! I'm only 13 but I love your videos I love to clean cook organize the dollar store all the things! Thank you for your amazing content, God bless! If you are reading this right now know that Jesus loves you and that he died for you and me, you are loved💙💓
Kathryn... I make those bars too (4:29). I don't heat the peanut butter, just keep the jar in the pantry until time to make the bars so it stays soft for mixing. Your way probably makes it easier to mix though! I'll also add dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. You can add just about anything. Nuts and dark chocolate chips mean extra protein. ;)
My frog is taking care of my own needs... Like a time to refresh and renew spirit,mind ,and body. As soon as I awake I start thinking about the day ... What to make for breakfast and lunches. I have 12 people to care for.... And things like laundry etc. You're so refreshing and sweet.
Thank you, Kathryn! I definitely needed this video. I am 35 weeks pregnant, wrapping up all my stuff at work before taking maternity leave, trying to declutter and organize the house, and give plenty of time and attention to our wonderful 4 year old son. Sometimes I look around at all the things that need to get done and it can be overwhelming. But, I take whatever free time I have to tackle something, no matter what it is, and at least I know I got something done. Thank you again, and best of luck to you and your family!
Be kind to yourself expecting mama!! Newborn days can long and hard (I’m in week 3 with my sixth)! I found it helpful to have a small routine- do something for birth, something for my family/house, rest, repeat. Fill in with your things, and you’ll find you get more done taking time for yourself to rest, even if its short! Best wishes for your baby and birth!!
I love watching you. I was you 15-20 years ago. I’m 54 so I have a heck of a lot more “free” time but I do love your ideas and wish you were around when I had children your age. You are amazing! Keep it up!
This helped me realize instead of doing 45+ mins of workout in the morning, I'll start with 20 mins and work my way up from there. Knowing I have to do 45+ mins of cardio makes me want to just sleep in lol
when I was a young working mom and going thru a really bad personal patch I scheduled my "drive at 5 " home from work as private crying time. yes crying. not enuff to endanger others , just enuff so I could put forward my positive self when I got home . It worked and soon I didn't need it!
Cranberry Chicken: 1 small bottle of Catalina or California Dressing 1 can of whole cranberries sauce Chicken for 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Mix the salad dressing (Catalina/California) with the can of whole cranberries (sauce) in a medium mixing bowl. You may use a whisk or a mixing spoon- your choice. I like the whisk; it mixes faster in my opinion. Set aside for a minute. Place the chicken of your choice of cut (I prefer the thighs but breasts work too) in a casserole dish or some sort of baking pan alike. Pour the mixture of Catalina or California Dressing and the cranberries over the top of the chicken that you placed in the pan. Bake the defrosted chicken 30 minutes (45-60 minutes if frozen depending on oven and altitude) or until there is NO red in the chicken. Remove from oven and serve. The chicken is so tasty and it tastes like you slaved over the stove for hours. I wasn't into cranberries until my Grandma made this for the family; now, it's one of my favorite dishes.
I just wanted to comment and say that your channel has been so encouraging to me these past few weeks. I am in nursing school, work two jobs, and my husband is a regional pilot going for his bachelor's degree as well. Because of our schedules, we don't have that much time to spend together, let alone time without homework or ineffective cleaning. We have only been married for about one and a half years and are currently on a journey to declutter our life and establish positive cleaning habits. Your words of encouragement and honesty really have changed my perspective on healthy habits and your channel makes me really feel as if we can attain our goals of healthier living. Thank you for the encouragement and life that you speak into those watching videos, you really make a difference!! You're awesome and I can't wait to watch more of your content!

Love the batch cook... I’ve been homeschooling and cooking three meals at home for several years and finally I realized that this takes many forms! Whenever I’m in the kitchen I’m planning more than one meal- cleaning up from dinner I’ll make soaked oats or throw the leftover veggies in a frittata. Making breakfast I’ll pull out a freezer meal or get the crockpot going. If you don’t want to freeze, lunch I’ll make a veggie tray that lasts us a few days and cut veggies for another meal. Make the most of the time in the kitchen (and then you already know what meal is coming up). We also will make a little extra and plan a leftover day, or have a soup for dinner and then the leftover soup with a small salad the next day for lunch. Batch cook doesn’t always have to mean freeze!! Good luck everyone! Just think about how many public school jobs it takes to do yours! (I wish I had a janitor or lunch lady!!)
Love the “frog” motivation. Laundry/cleaning is always a big frog. Lately, I’ve been procrastinating on finding an illustrator for a children’s book I’ve written. This was so motivating to get it done!
I don't know how I found you but girl, I am so blessed by you!!!!! Thank you so much for being real!!!! Love your honesty and how you show the struggles and real life of being a mom, wife and living life.
The Lord doesnt give us a spirit of anxiety or worry but of HOPE! He doesnt give us permission to worry but instead, tells us through his word to give it to him! Seek the Lord and not worldly ideologies! 🙏🏻
Your so inspiring to me. I'm not a mom or married any more. In fact I'm retired and was used to being very busy with work and social stuff. Now, I'm just... here. Even though I'm alone, you'd think it's easier, however that is not the case so now your vids motivate me. With your great ideas which are quick and simple, I feel I can tackle life. Now that I am almost healed from my cancer operation, I am starting new and YOU have helped me do that. Your beautiful spirit and lovely smile and the way you show the reality that happens to you helps me know that I am NOT alone in how I feel. God Bless you and your lovely family and I'll be here waiting for the next inspiring vid.
I think it was Erma Bombeck that used this “schedule time for worrying” only she used it for grief or heartache. She would set an alarm for 30 minutes and cry and feel sorry for herself (her words, not mine) each couple of days she would decrease it until she felt better.
I get frustrated at work and it's starting to build up again, I learned from you today to limit anxiety; I'll tweak it and limit my frustration and schedule it and make it less everyday so I can just get to my goal of not sweating the small stuff. thank you for that!
We take our hands and flatten out the bottom of large ziplocks first, then roll the top down once and it creates a large bowl and has always held steady with me
You’re videos always help me!!! You’re real and open and yes, I have suffered from anxiety before and it’s very paralyzing!! But I praise the Lord for the ability to seek help and His peace!!!
Love this! Your cleaning and routines are my favorites! Please do more and please share more from your home management binder or if there’s a revision!! Thank you for all you do!
Sweet lady you are so precious. This video was great. ( as always❤️). I especially liked the part about 15 minutes of scheduled worry time. What a great idea. Now to train my brain to do it lol. Thank you for your enthusiasm and positivity. We need more of this in our world ❤️
You can schedule time for worry, for grief, for much of anything that is triggering you. I tell my clients this. I do it myself. It takes practice, but is doable.
Katherine, thank you for your honesty! It's so refreshing in a world of 'filters'! This video hit home for me. I'm a 50 something single woman who works retail. I work weird hours right now so the last thing I want to do when I get home is clean, straighten or even fix a decent meal. The 20 minute do something practice is coming back into action. I do meal prep most weeks so doubling up is a great reminder. Thanks, again for you inspiring videos. PS I often tell my clients about your inspirational videos.
Your videos always catch me at the right time! My work schedule has been all over the place this week with late nights and early mornings. My frog has definitely been getting my dishes done. Today is the day I will eat the frog. Thanks for some great inspiration and motivation 😄
I just feel so motivated watching your videos. Us mommas need to be uplifted and reminded everyday that we are only human we can't to it all. Thanks for all you do ❤️
This video is EXACTLY what I needed today! You have no idea. Your videos always seem to pull me out of my funk, like this week I haven't been motivated at all to get out of bed, clean my apartment, or even go to work. Watching your videos is just a great reminder that I am human and a done something is better than a done nothing. 🥰 Thank you so much for always being so positive and uplifting! Love you and your channel!!! 🧡
I’ve just found your videos and I can’t begin to say how motivational they are for me. When I walk in a cluttered room I immediately feel overwhelmed and just walk away. But I play your videos on my tv and get started! Thank you so much!
My frog is just being motivated! Thank you for the motivation inspiration! ❤️✨ I always LOVE your positivity! Also going to have to try those breakfast bars!
Perfect timing for this video! Between remote learning for the 3 kids and my job switching to work from home, my life just feels like chaos that I don't get a break from. It's good to not feel alone. Wonderful tips too. Thank you!
When you are thinking how hard laundry is be thankful you have a nice laundry room on the main floor. Some people have to haul their laundry down to their washer and dryer at the far end of a not very nice basement and then haul it back up the stairs. This is all done one load at a time. It's even harder when you are old with bad knees. lol
Lol, that is the truth! This was me for my entire life until I retired and moved to a home that had the washer and dryer on the same floor as the bedroom (although I did have a laundry chute so only had to haul them up). Laundry is a cinch now compared to before - and of course only clothes for my hubs and me makes it even easier! I feel that pain though!
Yes! 💯 I have to haul my laundry down 2 flights of stairs to the furthest spot in my yucky LOW ceiling basement go up and down for however many loads I am doing and then haul all the clean laundry back up 2 flights of stairs! Its definitely a workout. We've officially had enough of it for 7 years and are finally doing some renovating and getting our laundry upstairs. Dont even care if it needs to go into my living room at this point. 😆😅 i wouldve done just about anything to get it on the main floor in my home. To boot im only 28 years old so can only imagine if i was much older. Although I do have a shot back which doesn't make it any easier :(
What else is bad is when you and your child live in an RV and have to travel to a laundromat with your child strapped to your chest on a carrier alone while trying to do wash, dry, and fold.
This week, I have decided to destash things in my kitchen that I have either too many of, or we don't use. Instead of having a bunch of things that only have one use, I will invest my money and time in utensils and appliances, that have multiple uses, So tired of clutter in my home, and your videos always remind me that my house it too cluttered. Thank you for your positivity and motivation!
Oh, I needed this, this week! Its only Wednesday but this week feels like it’s been a month long already. Some days this remote learning goes smooth other days it’s a tearful mess. My house was clean yesterday and looks throttled today, and I feel like I have about 5 frogs! But this refocused me. One thing at a time. Thanks for the motivation and the video♥️
🤣🤣 Meghan that about sums up my week also. Especially with how long it's felt. Idk if it's just me or where I live but September been so gloomy just about everyday. Gloomy days can make everything feel like a drag. Anyway thanks for your comment and thanks Kathryn for another great video.
My frog is to clear the dishes in the morning and get my workout in. You always put a smile on my face and bring so much joy to my heart. I feel like I'm right there with you girl.
Hi Kathryn! Thank you for sharing this! I have been in such a funk this semester. I recently have been bullet journaling to try and keep me motivated, but I always try to work in what you talk about. Thank you for sharing your spirit with us🥰
You are an amazing woman. When I watch your videos, I'm reminded of when I worked full time and did all the things I watched you do on your video and wonder how I did it. Stay strong and thank you for your encouragement to keep moving forward.
This video was exactly what I needed right now and spoke to me in so many ways! Thank you for always being an advocate for mental health and self love. I think moms can be the worst at beating ourselves up, and we need reminding that we’re doing a good job sometimes. You’re the best!
Thank you for some good advice. I am in a rut and needed a kick. I think I can focus more on my house now that I had good news from my cancer dr the other day. A big relief has been lifted. Praise God He is good!
I really need this motivation. I had hand and elbow surgery at the end of August, developed a staph infection in my elbow in the beginning of September, and spent two nights in the hospital plus additional surgery to clean out the infection. The antibiotics I'm on have left me feeling drained and I'm just so ready to feel better but am lacking the energy. I haven't dusted my home in almost two weeks, but for the most part, the important things are done. We have clean laundry and grocery pickup has been awesome. I like the idea about setting aside time to worry. I do that a lot, given the state of our country. Thank you for the motivation! I'm going to try to get some things done later on. 🤗💖
I love when you insert audio clips about something that really hit home with you! I remember awhile back you inserted an audio clip about making your bed and how it helps you be more productive and that has really helped me. And I really feel like now if I tell myself to "just eat the frog" I'll get way more done. 😌 Thanks, Kathryn! ♥️
Hi !! :-) Just learned about the Frog from the Minimal Mom. I'm hearing it again so it must mean something. I better pay attention, LOL. I get so happy when I see your videos pop up. Thank you 🎃🍁🍂💜
My mantra the last week has been "Do something that future you will be thankful for." It's helped a lot with keeping my kitchen manageable! When my kitchen is in bad shape, I'm having a hard time. If I can keep it together, I do much better. Or when I'm doing better, I can keep it together. Not sure which came first, the chicken or the egg here, but it is still a barometer that is pretty reliable! 🙂
Amen sister. So glad someone already said this. Setting time aside to worry is ridiculous. You'll be worrying even more by looking at the clock constantly until you get to the time that you're "allowed" to worry. People have committed suicide in that time frame. Eliminating the worry all together is what needs to be done and that can only be achieved when we leave our worries at the foot of the cross. ✝️🙏🏽❤️ "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?" - Luke 12:25-26
Thank you for the encouragement and helpful hints. Working 10-12 hour days along with virtual school for my son can be tough some days so it’s nice to take a moment to re-group and refresh. Showing ourselves some grace is key Thanks!!
It was so good to see your kitchen messy. Your house always appears so tidy, there have been times when I have thought I can never keep up with keeping my space tidy. Now I feel better able to tackle my space xxx
I've been taking care of my husband's needs a lot more than my own and our home. He has Parkinson's Disease and not being able to go exercise for quite a while caused him to digress. So, now he's able to go exercise and he's doing a little better. So, knowing he's doing better I'm remotivated!! I've given myself a goal to have our home back to being decluttered, and organized by September 30th. I'm gonna get help with dusting and some household chores so that I can make sure our home stays clean and I can drive him to his exercise classes and doctor appointments with ease. Wish me Luck but I think this is going to be doable. Thanks for the tips, helpful hints and information. Blessings and Love from my home to yours❣
Obsessed with your videos for years now!!! One thing I do, depending on where you are at in the house, I always set the timer on the stove, my son also likes be able to tell how much we have left to do our "chores" as it counts down :)
My frog is cleaning bathrooms and my downstairs rooms. Ahhhhhhh!! Thanks for the tips! Hope everyone is staying afloat and still has some happy, joyful moments daily! Sending everyone hugs and good vibes!
Hi, I'm a full time working mom, and I do homeschooling with my daughter she does 3 lessons then wants a 10 minute break and I find often that I am so busy with other stuff her 10 minute break turns to a 30 minute break so the kitchen timer is an amazing idea, I don't know why I never thought of it. Thank you. At least now I can set it for 10 minutes and then. She knows when that goes off it's time to do the next lesson.
"Life happens".....lol 😁 Words to live by. I find it overwhelming sometimes to get certain tasks done and so I find alot of inspiration from your videos. Thank you so much and GOD bless!
Thank you! I wasn't going to watch because I didn't want to feel bad about how bad I let my house get. Thank you for the motivation and your positivity. I really needed it.
You definitely have the gift of motivation! Thank you for sharing, I always feel so calm, relaxed and ready to take on anything after watching your videos! God bless you! 👌🏻❤🙏
You inspired me last weekend to go through my pantry and cupboards and organize, purge, etc. I wanted to cry when I had everything pulled out because it was so overwhelming but I kept going. It took me most of Saturday afternoon but i got it done and it looks fabulous now and is so organized. I am still tweaking it but it is so amazing to know what i have and where it is! Thank you for always keeping your videos real. I love that so much!!!!!
I have lots to work on within myself and around me but one thing that feels makes me feel good is watching your videos. It makes me feel hopeful and uplifted. Thank you always for your awesome tips and tricks! Thrive on! God bless!
thank you for showing your kitchen sink with dirty dishes. Sometimes we think we are the only ones who have dishes to do and we think everyone else keeps their kitchen perfect at all times because that's all we see from them! It helps to know that it is normal!
I just started scheduling "worry time" a few weeks ago. I was really skeptical, but it has legit helped improve my overall mood. An easy meal I'd recommend is meatball subs. Heat up frozen meatballs, mix with pasta sauce, put on sub rolls, sprinkle mozzarella and BOOM. A filling lunch or dinner.
Some days my anxiety is through the roof. Exercise helps a lot, as does healthy eating and diy and craft projects. I enjoy your channel for the ideas and such, but mostly for the good cheer and inspiration.☺
I like to batch cook crockpot soups in the fall and winter. My favorite is an easy vegetarian chili: 1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 1 can chili beans and sauce 1 small bag frozen corn 1/2 chili seasoning packet 1 can crushed tomatoes 1-2 cups low sodium V-8 style juice (depends on size of your crockpot) 1 small can fire rosted tomatoes 1/2 cup of your favorite tomato-based salsa I cook it on low for about 6 hours. The crockpot does most of the work. It makes a lot, so I find freezing some for later is best. We also make cornbread muffins at the same time and freeze half of them for later. Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques. This year has been a doozie. Getting back on track, and, more importantly, staying on track has been so difficult.
A tip to prevent spillage when using storage bags for batch cooking. Get an empty cereal storage container. Put the gallon size baggy in it and clip the sides using clothes pins, alligator clips or chip clips. Keeps the baggy upright and open. Also recycle the Dawn spray bottle by refilling the spray bottle and not buying a new one. Love all your organizational tips.
I think you get done in a day what i do in a week! 😂 The spray on Dawn and the Carbona sheets are new to me, thanks for sharing them. Also, I have never seen a dishwasher with a silverware pullout tray! Is it as handy as i think it must be?
Tangy chicken. 1 1/2 pound chicken breast, 1/2 cup Italian dressing. 1/2 cup bbq sauce cooked 6-8 hours in the crockpot until meet easily shreds. We eat it the first night usually with steamed broccoli (my kids love broccoli) and apple sauce or cottage cheese. The leftovers are good in a salad and a favorite my husband and I use it for is a homemade pizza! I am going to have to try those oat breakfast bars they sound delicious and super easy to make!
The rug liner sticking out during the dishwasher loading clip is also keeping it real. :) XD For real, my frog is just starting things as I can get overwhelmed with lots to do. Writing things down in my planner helps, but also the realization that if I can cross off just one thing today, and focus on my already existing list and not adding to it, helps me out a bunch.
Good morning! Thank YOU so much for constant encouragement and your contagious smile! Each and everyday, I pray God will strengthen you and bless your family! ************************************************************** God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
I needed this so much this morning. My anxiety is at an all time high which worsens my ADHD, so productivity is at an all time low, which increases the mess, which increases my anxiety.... and so on and so forth. I'm so ready to go eat my frog (a mountain of dishes) now.
Omg..... I love do it on a dime.. it's literally a life changing channel◉‿◉◉‿◉◉‿◉ Luv to lots🤩😘😘 thank you so much ❤️💕 Luv u Kathryn ❣️ hope u give me a heart
Thank you so much. I subscribed to your channel month ago and I never comment but you have to known that God is really on you. You personality, the way that you are. I have a little boy 2 years old. You inspire me to be better for him. To teach him new things with love and patience. God Bless you always. Thanks 😊
My almost 5 y.o daughter loves to watch your videos with me and she is always playing "that lady " afterwards. Walking around the house and cleaning, opening fridge, talking about her kids 😅 Thank you Kathryn, I've been watching your videos since before Owen was born 🤗
Oh Lawdy, you have no idea how much I needed you this week with your encouragement. Thank you so much for being the angel you are to all of us!! Love and Hugs!
Hi. This video was a beautiful way to motivate everyone who is stuck in business, old habits of anxiety, and just plan overwhelmed. Thank you for giving me positive things to think about. As I watch your videos I feel positive change is what I need in my life. That's what I'm trying to do. And I want you to know I make a great center piece for my dinner room table. It looks awesome. Thanks for your positive personality Tara
Beef Stroganoff! Just 2lbs ground beef, small container of sour cream and big can of cream of mushroom soup! Cook the beef and drain, return to pan add soup and sour cream and put on warm while you cook your whole bag of egg noodles or whatever noodles you like! You can add the sauce to the noodles all at once or eat it like you would spaghetti! Add some garlic bread and your good to go. This usually lasts a couple days at my house! Love this video!!
Love the making something easier! My suggestion is crock pot liner bags. Crock pots already make life easier but not having to clean them after using them is a total win! Just throw away the liner after using and wipe out the crock!
I have never commented on your videos before but I just wanted to compliment you are your pure and beautiful personality. You are a refresher :) I enjoy knowing that when I click on your videos that I don’t have to worry about swearing or bad content. Thank you for being a positive influence on TH-cam! ❤️❤️❤️
Amen to that! I just unsubscribed from a well-known comedian because he and his wife were bashing the president...don't go to their channel for politics...I go for comedy!

Marybeth Duke I agree! No time for negativity or swearing or profanity. Love Katharine♥️❤️💖
I agree !!!!! Shes a Positive and Uplifting Young Lady.
I agree. I can come here for my me time and feel calm, and empowered by all she does as well as her uplifting personality.
exactly thats the Christian way
ok I am just going to say this...Bless your heart! and all the moms out there that have to home school their kids and keep their house clean..bless your hearts as well..it's a never ending process when you have kids... I know..I raised 3!
I agree ! I home schooled my three until the oldest was in the 6th grade...many days I'd crawl into the broom closet to pray ,cry,or have primal scream therapy. Good news is we all survived. All 3 are grown on their own and have jobs Yay!
Amen momma .. I learned from you that 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing. Same motto even when it’s just 25% 😊
Yes! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💜
This video is really great! Just what I needed right now!
" A done something is better than a perfect nothing." I repeat that to myself all the time. Thanks Kathryn!
Same. I often tell myself, it's not perfect but it's better than it was before.
I really like that motto!
You have no idea how much your videos have helped me get back in the swing of cleaning.

Oh my gosh this was so motivating! I'm only 13 but I love your videos I love to clean cook organize the dollar store all the things! Thank you for your amazing content, God bless!
If you are reading this right now know that Jesus loves you and that he died for you and me, you are loved💙💓
I love you! thank you and I'm thankful to Jesus for you and you are right!
Awww thanks!
Who watches this over and over when their feeling like their in a dark spot and need motivation. Thank you Katherine 😊
Kathryn... I make those bars too (4:29). I don't heat the peanut butter, just keep the jar in the pantry until time to make the bars so it stays soft for mixing. Your way probably makes it easier to mix though! I'll also add dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. You can add just about anything. Nuts and dark chocolate chips mean extra protein. ;)
So you don't have to cook it in any way, just mix together? [I am new to this and don't know how to make them!]
@@tyrroo I don't know Kathryn's exact recipe, but she might have it somewhere. This is where I got my recipe:

My frog is taking care of my own needs... Like a time to refresh and renew spirit,mind ,and body. As soon as I awake I start thinking about the day ... What to make for breakfast and lunches. I have 12 people to care for.... And things like laundry etc. You're so refreshing and sweet.
Thank you, Kathryn! I definitely needed this video. I am 35 weeks pregnant, wrapping up all my stuff at work before taking maternity leave, trying to declutter and organize the house, and give plenty of time and attention to our wonderful 4 year old son. Sometimes I look around at all the things that need to get done and it can be overwhelming. But, I take whatever free time I have to tackle something, no matter what it is, and at least I know I got something done. Thank you again, and best of luck to you and your family!
Be kind to yourself expecting mama!! Newborn days can long and hard (I’m in week 3 with my sixth)! I found it helpful to have a small routine- do something for birth, something for my family/house, rest, repeat. Fill in with your things, and you’ll find you get more done taking time for yourself to rest, even if its short! Best wishes for your baby and birth!!
I love watching you. I was you 15-20 years ago. I’m 54 so I have a heck of a lot more “free” time but I do love your ideas and wish you were around when I had children your age. You are amazing! Keep it up!
This helped me realize instead of doing 45+ mins of workout in the morning, I'll start with 20 mins and work my way up from there. Knowing I have to do 45+ mins of cardio makes me want to just sleep in lol
Dude I would even say 5 mins 😅
when I was a young working mom and going thru a really bad personal patch I scheduled my "drive at 5 " home from work as private crying time. yes crying. not enuff to endanger others , just enuff so I could put forward my positive self when I got home . It worked and soon I didn't need it!
Cranberry Chicken:
1 small bottle of Catalina or California Dressing
1 can of whole cranberries sauce
Chicken for 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Mix the salad dressing (Catalina/California) with the can of whole cranberries (sauce) in a medium mixing bowl. You may use a whisk or a mixing spoon- your choice. I like the whisk; it mixes faster in my opinion. Set aside for a minute. Place the chicken of your choice of cut (I prefer the thighs but breasts work too) in a casserole dish or some sort of baking pan alike. Pour the mixture of Catalina or California Dressing and the cranberries over the top of the chicken that you placed in the pan. Bake the defrosted chicken 30 minutes (45-60 minutes if frozen depending on oven and altitude) or until there is NO red in the chicken. Remove from oven and serve. The chicken is so tasty and it tastes like you slaved over the stove for hours. I wasn't into cranberries until my Grandma made this for the family; now, it's one of my favorite dishes.
I just wanted to comment and say that your channel has been so encouraging to me these past few weeks. I am in nursing school, work two jobs, and my husband is a regional pilot going for his bachelor's degree as well. Because of our schedules, we don't have that much time to spend together, let alone time without homework or ineffective cleaning. We have only been married for about one and a half years and are currently on a journey to declutter our life and establish positive cleaning habits. Your words of encouragement and honesty really have changed my perspective on healthy habits and your channel makes me really feel as if we can attain our goals of healthier living. Thank you for the encouragement and life that you speak into those watching videos, you really make a difference!! You're awesome and I can't wait to watch more of your content!
This is the second time I've heard "eat the frog" this week. Hmm, maybe someone wants me to learn a valuable lesson. Thanks for sharing.
Me too. :)
Me too.
Where did you get those white decorative pillows for your bed????

Love the batch cook... I’ve been homeschooling and cooking three meals at home for several years and finally I realized that this takes many forms! Whenever I’m in the kitchen I’m planning more than one meal- cleaning up from dinner I’ll make soaked oats or throw the leftover veggies in a frittata. Making breakfast I’ll pull out a freezer meal or get the crockpot going. If you don’t want to freeze, lunch I’ll make a veggie tray that lasts us a few days and cut veggies for another meal. Make the most of the time in the kitchen (and then you already know what meal is coming up). We also will make a little extra and plan a leftover day, or have a soup for dinner and then the leftover soup with a small salad the next day for lunch. Batch cook doesn’t always have to mean freeze!! Good luck everyone! Just think about how many public school jobs it takes to do yours! (I wish I had a janitor or lunch lady!!)
Love the “frog” motivation. Laundry/cleaning is always a big frog. Lately, I’ve been procrastinating on finding an illustrator for a children’s book I’ve written. This was so motivating to get it done!
I don't know how I found you but girl, I am so blessed by you!!!!! Thank you so much for being real!!!! Love your honesty and how you show the struggles and real life of being a mom, wife and living life.
"Can't tell if they're laughing or crying, kids and myself" that's my life! 😂😂😂
The Lord doesnt give us a spirit of anxiety or worry but of HOPE! He doesnt give us permission to worry but instead, tells us through his word to give it to him! Seek the Lord and not worldly ideologies! 🙏🏻
Thanks for this!
You get more done in a few minutes than I do all day!
Saaaame
Your so inspiring to me. I'm not a mom or married any more. In fact I'm retired and was used to being very busy with work and social stuff. Now, I'm just... here. Even though I'm alone, you'd think it's easier, however that is not the case so now your vids motivate me. With your great ideas which are quick and simple, I feel I can tackle life. Now that I am almost healed from my cancer operation, I am starting new and YOU have helped me do that. Your beautiful spirit and lovely smile and the way you show the reality that happens to you helps me know that I am NOT alone in how I feel. God Bless you and your lovely family and I'll be here waiting for the next inspiring vid.
I love the dawn spray for stuff that normally takes more effort in scrubbing
Wondering if works to clean inside of oven door?
I like the Dawn spray but Mr. Clean works best on the oven door. I cleaned mine and it's easier than you think. Check out youtube tutorials
Thank you for all the positive words for working moms who are still coming home and handling grind.
I think it was Erma Bombeck that used this “schedule time for worrying” only she used it for grief or heartache. She would set an alarm for 30 minutes and cry and feel sorry for herself (her words, not mine) each couple of days she would decrease it until she felt better.
You’re way to young to remember Erma. Lol
I get frustrated at work and it's starting to build up again, I learned from you today to limit anxiety; I'll tweak it and limit my frustration and schedule it and make it less everyday so I can just get to my goal of not sweating the small stuff. thank you for that!
When you’re filling large Ziploc bags, open them in a large empty juice container , cover the rim… and fill... no more messes 😀
A pitcher would work great as well
Great tip! I use large mouth coffee cups or soup mugs for quart size bags. These ways of filling work like a charm!
We take our hands and flatten out the bottom of large ziplocks first, then roll the top down once and it creates a large bowl and has always held steady with me
I love the music , What is the song that says " You can go higher " ?
What was the sweetner in the peanut butter bars ? Great video ! 🙂
You’re videos always help me!!! You’re real and open and yes, I have suffered from anxiety before and it’s very paralyzing!! But I praise the Lord for the ability to seek help and His peace!!!
Love this! Your cleaning and routines are my favorites! Please do more and please share more from your home management binder or if there’s a revision!! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for showing us your regular side. It’s hard sometimes to realize that those who inspire us are regular people too. ❤️
Sweet lady you are so precious. This video was great. ( as always❤️). I especially liked the part about 15 minutes of scheduled worry time. What a great idea. Now to train my brain to do it lol. Thank you for your enthusiasm and positivity. We need more of this in our world ❤️
You can schedule time for worry, for grief, for much of anything that is triggering you. I tell my clients this. I do it myself. It takes practice, but is doable.
Katherine, thank you for your honesty! It's so refreshing in a world of 'filters'!
This video hit home for me. I'm a 50 something single woman who works retail. I work weird hours right now so the last thing I want to do when I get home is clean, straighten or even fix a decent meal. The 20 minute do something practice is coming back into action. I do meal prep most weeks so doubling up is a great reminder.
Thanks, again for you inspiring videos.
PS I often tell my clients about your inspirational videos.
Your videos always catch me at the right time! My work schedule has been all over the place this week with late nights and early mornings. My frog has definitely been getting my dishes done. Today is the day I will eat the frog. Thanks for some great inspiration and motivation 😄
I just feel so motivated watching your videos. Us mommas need to be uplifted and reminded everyday that we are only human we can't to it all. Thanks for all you do ❤️
I look so forward to your videos. In a crazy world, you’re something I look for to lift my spirits! Bless you 🥰
This video is EXACTLY what I needed today! You have no idea.
Your videos always seem to pull me out of my funk, like this week I haven't been motivated at all to get out of bed, clean my apartment, or even go to work.
Watching your videos is just a great reminder that I am human and a done something is better than a done nothing. 🥰
Thank you so much for always being so positive and uplifting!
Love you and your channel!!! 🧡
Needed this today girl thanks for always brightening my day !
I’ve just found your videos and I can’t begin to say how motivational they are for me. When I walk in a cluttered room I immediately feel overwhelmed and just walk away. But I play your videos on my tv and get started! Thank you so much!
My frog is just being motivated! Thank you for the motivation inspiration! ❤️✨ I always LOVE your positivity! Also going to have to try those breakfast bars!
Perfect timing for this video! Between remote learning for the 3 kids and my job switching to work from home, my life just feels like chaos that I don't get a break from. It's good to not feel alone. Wonderful tips too. Thank you!
When you are thinking how hard laundry is be thankful you have a nice laundry room on the main floor. Some people have to haul their laundry down to their washer and dryer at the far end of a not very nice basement and then haul it back up the stairs. This is all done one load at a time. It's even harder when you are old with bad knees. lol
Lol, that is the truth! This was me for my entire life until I retired and moved to a home that had the washer and dryer on the same floor as the bedroom (although I did have a laundry chute so only had to haul them up). Laundry is a cinch now compared to before - and of course only clothes for my hubs and me makes it even easier! I feel that pain though!
Yes! 💯 I have to haul my laundry down 2 flights of stairs to the furthest spot in my yucky LOW ceiling basement go up and down for however many loads I am doing and then haul all the clean laundry back up 2 flights of stairs! Its definitely a workout. We've officially had enough of it for 7 years and are finally doing some renovating and getting our laundry upstairs. Dont even care if it needs to go into my living room at this point. 😆😅 i wouldve done just about anything to get it on the main floor in my home. To boot im only 28 years old so can only imagine if i was much older. Although I do have a shot back which doesn't make it any easier :(
What else is bad is when you and your child live in an RV and have to travel to a laundromat with your child strapped to your chest on a carrier alone while trying to do wash, dry, and fold.
This week, I have decided to destash things in my kitchen that I have either too many of, or we don't use. Instead of having a bunch of things that only have one use, I will invest my money and time in utensils and appliances, that have multiple uses, So tired of clutter in my home, and your videos always remind me that my house it too cluttered. Thank you for your positivity and motivation!
Oh, I needed this, this week! Its only Wednesday but this week feels like it’s been a month long already. Some days this remote learning goes smooth other days it’s a tearful mess. My house was clean yesterday and looks throttled today, and I feel like I have about 5 frogs! But this refocused me. One thing at a time. Thanks for the motivation and the video♥️
So glad you are here, Meghan!
🤣🤣 Meghan that about sums up my week also. Especially with how long it's felt. Idk if it's just me or where I live but September been so gloomy just about everyday. Gloomy days can make everything feel like a drag. Anyway thanks for your comment and thanks Kathryn for another great video.
My frog is to clear the dishes in the morning and get my workout in. You always put a smile on my face and bring so much joy to my heart. I feel like I'm right there with you girl.
Hi Kathryn! Thank you for sharing this! I have been in such a funk this semester. I recently have been bullet journaling to try and keep me motivated, but I always try to work in what you talk about. Thank you for sharing your spirit with us🥰
You are an amazing woman. When I watch your videos, I'm reminded of when I worked full time and did all the things I watched you do on your video and wonder how I did it. Stay strong and thank you for your encouragement to keep moving forward.
I love your energy. And your boys. You're such an inspiration
This video was exactly what I needed right now and spoke to me in so many ways! Thank you for always being an advocate for mental health and self love. I think moms can be the worst at beating ourselves up, and we need reminding that we’re doing a good job sometimes. You’re the best!
Cooking is definitely my frog!!
Ugh right there with you!!!
Thank you for some good advice. I am in a rut and needed a kick. I think I can focus more on my house now that I had good news from my cancer dr the other day. A big relief has been lifted. Praise God He is good!
I really need this motivation. I had hand and elbow surgery at the end of August, developed a staph infection in my elbow in the beginning of September, and spent two nights in the hospital plus additional surgery to clean out the infection. The antibiotics I'm on have left me feeling drained and I'm just so ready to feel better but am lacking the energy. I haven't dusted my home in almost two weeks, but for the most part, the important things are done. We have clean laundry and grocery pickup has been awesome. I like the idea about setting aside time to worry. I do that a lot, given the state of our country. Thank you for the motivation! I'm going to try to get some things done later on. 🤗💖
I love when you insert audio clips about something that really hit home with you! I remember awhile back you inserted an audio clip about making your bed and how it helps you be more productive and that has really helped me. And I really feel like now if I tell myself to "just eat the frog" I'll get way more done. 😌 Thanks, Kathryn! ♥️
Hi !! :-) Just learned about the Frog from the Minimal Mom. I'm hearing it again so it must mean something. I better pay attention, LOL.
I get so happy when I see your videos pop up. Thank you 🎃🍁🍂💜
Me too! Love both of these TH-cam channels so helpful!
Keeping ahead of chores is tuff but this is the busiest time of your life. Love your ideas.
My frog is washing the dishes and putting away the clean ones.
My physical therapy exercises
My frog is cleaning my bedroom and purging my clothes!
@@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654 Hope everything works out well for you with the PT exercises.
How did you get your frog to do that...? ha-ha. My warped brain.
Same. Dishes kill me every time
My mantra the last week has been "Do something that future you will be thankful for." It's helped a lot with keeping my kitchen manageable! When my kitchen is in bad shape, I'm having a hard time. If I can keep it together, I do much better. Or when I'm doing better, I can keep it together. Not sure which came first, the chicken or the egg here, but it is still a barometer that is pretty reliable! 🙂
Christ is my savior... eliminated most of my depression and anxiety. He is the answer especially during our COVID times.
yahyah baby Jesus number 1
Amen🙏
Amen sister. So glad someone already said this. Setting time aside to worry is ridiculous. You'll be worrying even more by looking at the clock constantly until you get to the time that you're "allowed" to worry. People have committed suicide in that time frame. Eliminating the worry all together is what needs to be done and that can only be achieved when we leave our worries at the foot of the cross. ✝️🙏🏽❤️
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
- Philippians 4:6-7
"Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?"
- Luke 12:25-26
Thank you for the encouragement and helpful hints. Working 10-12 hour days along with virtual school for my son can be tough some days so it’s nice to take a moment to re-group and refresh. Showing ourselves some grace is key Thanks!!
My frog is my morning Exercise routine
It was so good to see your kitchen messy. Your house always appears so tidy, there have been times when I have thought I can never keep up with keeping my space tidy. Now I feel better able to tackle my space xxx
I love your ideas! I always use them. Thank you so much for these videos!
I've been taking care of my husband's needs a lot more than my own and our home. He has Parkinson's Disease and not being able to go exercise for quite a while caused him to digress. So, now he's able to go exercise and he's doing a little better.
So, knowing he's doing better I'm remotivated!! I've given myself a goal to have our home back to being decluttered, and organized by September 30th. I'm gonna get help with dusting and some household chores so that I can make sure our home stays clean and I can drive him to his exercise classes and doctor appointments with ease.
Wish me Luck but I think this is going to be doable.
Thanks for the tips, helpful hints and information.
Blessings and Love from my home to yours❣
We use "Eat the frog" ALL the time around our house.. definitely helps put you in a better frame of mind.
Obsessed with your videos for years now!!! One thing I do, depending on where you are at in the house, I always set the timer on the stove, my son also likes be able to tell how much we have left to do our "chores" as it counts down :)
GAAAAAAASP! I’m left handed too! Love finding other lefties. Nice handwriting fit a leftie btw. 😄
My frog is cleaning bathrooms and my downstairs rooms. Ahhhhhhh!! Thanks for the tips! Hope everyone is staying afloat and still has some happy, joyful moments daily! Sending everyone hugs and good vibes!
Needed this today 💕
Hi, I'm a full time working mom, and I do homeschooling with my daughter she does 3 lessons then wants a 10 minute break and I find often that I am so busy with other stuff her 10 minute break turns to a 30 minute break so the kitchen timer is an amazing idea, I don't know why I never thought of it. Thank you. At least now I can set it for 10 minutes and then. She knows when that goes off it's time to do the next lesson.
"Life happens".....lol 😁 Words to live by. I find it overwhelming sometimes to get certain tasks done and so I find alot of inspiration from your videos. Thank you so much and GOD bless!
Thank you! I wasn't going to watch because I didn't want to feel bad about how bad I let my house get. Thank you for the motivation and your positivity. I really needed it.
😆 My "frog" 🐸 was cleaning & reorganizing closets, cabinets, pantry, and I'm ALREADY DOING IT when I saw your video pop up!😄👍
Swallowed the frog, laughed with my kids, and moved on with a smile when I messed up. Thank you!! Your videos MAKE a difference.
You definitely have the gift of motivation! Thank you for sharing, I always feel so calm, relaxed and ready to take on anything after watching your videos! God bless you! 👌🏻❤🙏
You inspired me last weekend to go through my pantry and cupboards and organize, purge, etc. I wanted to cry when I had everything pulled out because it was so overwhelming but I kept going. It took me most of Saturday afternoon but i got it done and it looks fabulous now and is so organized. I am still tweaking it but it is so amazing to know what i have and where it is! Thank you for always keeping your videos real. I love that so much!!!!!
My frog is vacuuming. I'm a worry wart, definitely trying the 15 minute scheduling thing. Thank you.
I have lots to work on within myself and around me but one thing that feels makes me feel good is watching your videos. It makes me feel hopeful and uplifted. Thank you always for your awesome tips and tricks! Thrive on! God bless!
I NEEDED ALL of this! 👍🏻❤️🤗
thank you for showing your kitchen sink with dirty dishes. Sometimes we think we are the only ones who have dishes to do and we think everyone else keeps their kitchen perfect at all times because that's all we see from them! It helps to know that it is normal!
Fifteen minutes of prayer time does wonders for me! Frees my worries. ❤️🥰🙏🏻 Jennifer
I just started scheduling "worry time" a few weeks ago. I was really skeptical, but it has legit helped improve my overall mood.
An easy meal I'd recommend is meatball subs. Heat up frozen meatballs, mix with pasta sauce, put on sub rolls, sprinkle mozzarella and BOOM. A filling lunch or dinner.
My frog is getting out of bed--lol. Seriously, my frog is getting on my exercise bike and using it!!
Some days my anxiety is through the roof. Exercise helps a lot, as does healthy eating and diy and craft projects. I enjoy your channel for the ideas and such, but mostly for the good cheer and inspiration.☺
I love dawn soap haven’t tried that one but now I will 🤣🥰
I like to batch cook crockpot soups in the fall and winter. My favorite is an easy vegetarian chili:
1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can chili beans and sauce
1 small bag frozen corn
1/2 chili seasoning packet
1 can crushed tomatoes
1-2 cups low sodium V-8 style juice (depends on size of your crockpot)
1 small can fire rosted tomatoes
1/2 cup of your favorite tomato-based salsa
I cook it on low for about 6 hours. The crockpot does most of the work. It makes a lot, so I find freezing some for later is best. We also make cornbread muffins at the same time and freeze half of them for later.
Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques. This year has been a doozie. Getting back on track, and, more importantly, staying on track has been so difficult.
omg i needed this today! thank you sooo much!
Cleaning my van was my Frog. I only spent ten mns, but I'd been putting it off for months! What a difference it made!
Yes ma'am! Agree! Watching...
A tip to prevent spillage when using storage bags for batch cooking. Get an empty cereal storage container. Put the gallon size baggy in it and clip the sides using clothes pins, alligator clips or chip clips. Keeps the baggy upright and open. Also recycle the Dawn spray bottle by refilling the spray bottle and not buying a new one. Love all your organizational tips.
I think you get done in a day what i do in a week! 😂 The spray on Dawn and the Carbona sheets are new to me, thanks for sharing them. Also, I have never seen a dishwasher with a silverware pullout tray! Is it as handy as i think it must be?
We love it! Game changer for sure!
Was this all in one day?? Oh my, goals!
Tangy chicken. 1 1/2 pound chicken breast, 1/2 cup Italian dressing. 1/2 cup bbq sauce cooked 6-8 hours in the crockpot until meet easily shreds. We eat it the first night usually with steamed broccoli (my kids love broccoli) and apple sauce or cottage cheese. The leftovers are good in a salad and a favorite my husband and I use it for is a homemade pizza!
I am going to have to try those oat breakfast bars they sound delicious and super easy to make!
Save the lipstick! 😆💜
The rug liner sticking out during the dishwasher loading clip is also keeping it real. :) XD
For real, my frog is just starting things as I can get overwhelmed with lots to do. Writing things down in my planner helps, but also the realization that if I can cross off just one thing today, and focus on my already existing list and not adding to it, helps me out a bunch.
Good morning! Thank YOU so much for constant encouragement and your contagious smile! Each and everyday, I pray God will strengthen you and bless your family!
**************************************************************
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Yes thanks for your transparency and willingness to show us the mess... It encourages me to remember I am not alone. :)
I needed this so much this morning. My anxiety is at an all time high which worsens my ADHD, so productivity is at an all time low, which increases the mess, which increases my anxiety.... and so on and so forth. I'm so ready to go eat my frog (a mountain of dishes) now.
Omg..... I love do it on a dime.. it's literally a life changing channel◉‿◉◉‿◉◉‿◉
Luv to lots🤩😘😘 thank you so much ❤️💕
Luv u Kathryn ❣️ hope u give me a heart
Amen Sister, Me too!
Thank you so much. I subscribed to your channel month ago and I never comment but you have to known that God is really on you. You personality, the way that you are. I have a little boy 2 years old. You inspire me to be better for him. To teach him new things with love and patience. God Bless you always. Thanks 😊
That looks like a painful bruise. Hope you’re feeling okay!
maybe she bruises easily. I do. I have bruises on my body that I don't know how I got them.
My almost 5 y.o daughter loves to watch your videos with me and she is always playing "that lady " afterwards. Walking around the house and cleaning, opening fridge, talking about her kids 😅
Thank you Kathryn, I've been watching your videos since before Owen was born 🤗
She is also noticed that your boys were watching "Rescue rides " her favorite show on Netflix 😉
Oh Lawdy, you have no idea how much I needed you this week with your encouragement. Thank you so much for being the angel you are to all of us!! Love and Hugs!
Hi. This video was a beautiful way to motivate everyone who is stuck in business, old habits of anxiety, and just plan overwhelmed. Thank you for giving me positive things to think about. As I watch your videos I feel positive change is what I need in my life. That's what I'm trying to do. And I want you to know I make a great center piece for my dinner room table. It looks awesome. Thanks for your positive personality Tara
Beef Stroganoff! Just 2lbs ground beef, small container of sour cream and big can of cream of mushroom soup! Cook the beef and drain, return to pan add soup and sour cream and put on warm while you cook your whole bag of egg noodles or whatever noodles you like! You can add the sauce to the noodles all at once or eat it like you would spaghetti! Add some garlic bread and your good to go. This usually lasts a couple days at my house! Love this video!!
Love the making something easier! My suggestion is crock pot liner bags. Crock pots already make life easier but not having to clean them after using them is a total win! Just throw away the liner after using and wipe out the crock!
