Great video! People on the internet can be so mean. I am currently cleaning out my grandparents house after they passed away. It has been crazy, I also have depression and anxiety so it's really hard to stay focused and motivated. With the combination of OCD your videos are really helping me
Thanks, YOU BEEN A HUGE HELP, I LOVE YOUR STYLE, YES WE SHOULD DO WHAT WORKS FOR THE FAMILY. IM VERY PROUD OF YOU. 😊
Yes! Yes! Do your yard and film it! I would love this- really enjoy garage shed, yard and car cleanouts! thanks
my son has AFRID, avoidant food restriction intake disorder. It is common with kids with sensory issues. You are doing wonderful. Way too many parents force their kids to eat foods that trigger their sensory issues refusing to believe its painful for them to do so (sensory issues are absolutely akin to pain). You working to find more safe foods for him made me like you and your channel even more as it is rare and beautiful to see. The most important thing to remember with kids who have trouble eating (due to sensory issues) is "fed is best". You will find yourself being creative like you never knew you could and throwing away a lot of ideals about healthy food (to a point). For example, my kid refused to eat so much when he was 2 that he had an iron deficiency. He already had sensory and taste issues, no way was he taking the iron supplements. I did some research and learned that vitamin c helps with iron absorption. So I started giving him sunny d with his cream of wheat, cheerios, and oatmeal. His iron was back to normal next test. He used to terrify me at two because before he started eating oatmeal and cream of wheat, he wouldn't eat anything but cheerios and peanut butter. That is how I learned fed is best, it took months of me shaming myself for not giving him what he needs until my grandfather assured me he is not starving. My son also went through food therapy and it helped a bit. Now he is 11 and while there are a lot of foods he wont eat, he does eat way more. Like I can not get him to eat chili to save my life but he will eat a cheeseburger with just ketchup so we keep hamburgers in the house. I definitely cant get him to eat soups either and medicine is still a challenge but he does a little better with that.
I know my comment is a long one, but hopefully it helps a bit with assuring you.
That was a very interesting read and so informative for those who have children/grandchildren with sensory and food issues - thank you 🇬🇧🇺🇸🌸🌸
@@Jane-dg3rr I am glad if I can help. It can be scary as a mom navigating a child's nutrition when that child is unable to eat certain foods.
I’m glad you and your son were able to figure it out, and that was smart to use Vitamin C to help him get his iron. (That’s actually something they teach us in nursing school so I thought that was cool)
Thank you for being so patient and mindful to help him be healthy

Your comment needed to be the length it was in order to communicate how you acquired your knowledge and so others could identify with the story. It is so gracious of you to tell what happened and how it was resolved: this is not an uncommon problem! My son had sensory issues along with another diagnosis but people had so much trouble understanding my advocacy, even when he was a baby! (He's in his 30s now.) Your honesty warms my heart, to realize you could be helping many people who deal with this and want to cope as well as they can and in a positive way without shame,etc. Thank you so much- such beautiful understanding and fierce mama-advocacy is a prized thing. Good for you!-- This is why I read the TH-cam comments- because people like you share.💖💖
My son was similar! We had to work up verrrry slowly- starting with foods that had a smooth texture to lumpier and more solid. But slowly. He’s five now and eats like a champ. I know it’s discouraging and frustrating, but it will get better!
Regarding the disposal of chemicals: in our area, we call the waste management company which serves our county for trash/garbage/lawn debris... They will answer any questions we have about specific items and give general help in evaluating what we want to rid ourselves of. Last time I did a major clean in the garage, I wrote down the names of all products by type and used the list as a discussion point when calling the company. Made notes beside each item as I went along in conversation so I knew what to do when I got back to the source... They even told how to "package" everything until they could come and get it so we would be safe in the meantime! Enlightening to say the least but the rep was very glad to give information and all was picked up or taken to a processing center if ineligible for pick up. Hope this helps- so pleased you are being careful about what are essentially poisons for people and animals. Great job!
Honestly I think you have all a person could only dream for - the home, the family, the freedom of getting anything you want and experimenting, swapping stuff etc and also expressing yourself through your home by changing furnitures, organizing etc
❤
we all have a pantry like yours from time to time if kids are sick or quite a bit going on so the pantry gets neglected. It happens not matter how are you try to keep up, being in the Northeast climate you always have more just in case of a snow storm to tide you over. i have had a week go by before I could get my car out so take a deep breath! All is good! You have the best organization videos! Love the fireplace what a difference it makes in your living room!
My daughter at two only ate grapes cheese and French bread went to the paediatrician but they said to ease back let her pick what she wanted to eat . She had enough flesh covering her body . She’s now 25 eats everything most adventurous food wise of all of my children .
Thank you for being realistic. It really helps with motivation lol
I think to get rid of things, something cool is to join local groups and give items away to families in need who maybe otherwise couldn't afford it. It can be anything too, like an old toaster or old toys, old clothes, opened (obviously unused) diapers ,.and even unused baby food. It also feels kinda like an obligation once you post it (which helps me go through with it) and you can also have them come pick it up or meet them somewhere close by. Somehow knowing someone is getting use out of whatever makes it easier to let go of for me.
Hi Catherine 😊 would like to know if you do a no-spend-challenge to avoid new clutter.
I am new here 🙌 😊 What I have learned about decluttering is to ask myself a few times if I really need it to avoid Impulse buying.
Wishes from West Germany 💕
From one to two my daughter only ate tinned peaches and Vegemite on toast. I remember the pain. Mine grew out of it slowly. It gets easier when you can negotiate with them. My daughter is now 14 and eats everything.
If your dryer isn’t working very well please get the vent cleaned! It could be plugged which is a huge fire hazard!
At 2 years old my children were in a regular bed because they were climbing out of crib by then. Used normal size pillows, sheets and blankets. During winter I used one piece zipper front pajamas with footies. My children loved them.
Mine, too. They were climbers and could get out of their crib at 11 months. We removed the crib and put its mattress on the floor. You do what you need to do!
I love how Cass from Clutterbug says that it’s ok to throw away expired food because getting it out clears space so there is no future waste because everything is lost in everything. It’s ok. We don’t always like new things we try and honestly companies make some really bad chemical filled foods so maybe if they made better food it would get eaten 😅
Kids do start eating more variety! I was worried about them only eating Mac and cheese, hot dogs, pizza, and chicken nuggets, but their pediatrician said it’s fine. They won’t starve. Just feed them. When they become teens they start eating everything. Enjoy the simplicity while you have it. You’re doing great. 👍
OMG I love your hearth has hidden storage. Adding this to the remodel list for sure. What a GREAT idea
I agree!! I have NEVER seen that done in all my years of online research. TOTALLY pinning that for my someday remodel!!
This was my new year's resolution to declutter and organize!! I'm doing great!! So very proud of myself... love watching/listening to others declutter and organize... I've donated alot!!
You asked if we had some ideas about what to do with extra or aging foodstuffs... Here's what I do- I contacted an animal rescue in the next town where they have a little bit of all kinds of creatures, mostly wildlife like ducks, possums, raccoons, all kinds of birds and odd circus animals (we're in a circus retirement area)... I explained what I had and they asked me to leave it in the original container (if possible) and bring it to them. This included cereal, crackers, seeds, nuts, breads without mold, dry beans, greens if not wilted, and the like. I included whatever I was not sure of and they decided onsite. It was used, after inspection, to feed animals whose diets were consistent with the product. As we eat pretty well- healthy- the items were useful. Even snack bars, crumbled or broken, were used as long as they weren't sugary. Our rice (uncooked) was taken by their rescue team who would put it in old socks, tie them off, and heat in a microwave to make a 'warm buddy' for baby animals who were cold/wet/abandoned/lost! Oatmeal was a favorite, I was told. I was amazed at what the people there imagined to do! They had a veterinary supervisor and I left it up to them to decide.--- I also took food to Goodwill donation stations when they advertised with a signboard outside the station they accepted food donations. They collected it and a food bank came and picked it up weekly.-- My mother tells me people bring food to the break room in her workplace and leave it on a table marked "FREE" that anyone can access.-- Hope this is helpful.-- Nice of you to care about this!
32:12 hi, I am and was a picky eater for my entire childhood. I’m an adult now and I’ve really pinpointed it’s mostly textures that bother me, besides a few flavors that make me gag.
I have some safe foods that I fall back to, but I am much better at eating a better variety now. I found out through trial and error how to cook things like vegetables to help me eat more of them. It’s mostly just working with the difficulties, figuring out what it is about a food that you don’t like, and really paying attention to what you do like.
I go through waves where I’ll be much less picky, and waves where I’ll be really picky again, mostly when I’m stressed it’s harder to eat. So, don’t be upset if it seems like sometimes he eats really well and doesn’t have many issues, then suddenly doesn’t eat a lot again, and can’t handle as many types of foods again.
Sometimes, I find it helps to have foods that aren’t complicated, as in they don’t have a lot of different things mixed together (I still prefer to eat noodles and spaghetti sauce separately if I can).
Help teach him to pay attention to his hunger and if he’s hungry help him get something he will eat. Because that’s of course the most important thing is you’re just trying to keep him healthy.
You sound like you’re doing a good job, just keep introducing your son to new things, and try different ways of cooking them.
When he gets bigger, you can start involving him in the cooking process so he can help add ingredients and see what kind of stuff goes into making food, which I found helped me as well.
It’s also really good you’re talking to a doctor to rule out health problems, you are doing a good job and I also just wanted to say that.
This advice isn’t a catch all, of course, I’m just a random TH-cam commenter, but I have struggled with eating my whole life and because I’ve figured out how to work with my body, it is much easier.
My son wouldn't eat ANYTHING, and now he dips everything in applesauce and will eat it. I mean, pizza, chicken, Salisbury steaks. It's his dipping sauce. No he's not on the spectrum. But this is his dipping sauce we accidentally stumbled upon. Now he's been trying things without when we are out of AS, and he can tolerate. It may help. Good luck, Momma! Thanks for your motivation today!
I'm bad at getting decluttered items out of the house, too.
When decluttering toys, and even clothes, see if grandparents or other nearby family members want some. As a grandmother myself, I know i need some toys at my house for when my grandkids ate visiting.
I would love to see any kind of updating your house or back yard. It gives me a ton of inspiration so yes do those videos
Enjoyed this so much! Thank you.-- Must say your hair looks lovely: really like the ombre effect when it is hanging behind your back in a length... -- Don't worry re folding clothes, etc. As you said, you haven't had problems and it's one less thing for you to have to deal with. Much more important stuff on the list of Mom things.-- Pretty house and furniture- like your taste. Congrats on the new fireplace. It gets pretty exciting when we do something new or make an improvement. Enjoy!-- Have a great day!
My oldest son went through the same food issues yours is going through. He is 13 now and has slowly increased his number of safe foods, but we still struggle with it. Hang in there, I know how frustrating it can be.
ZERO shame in my no folding game 💪🏻 I fold my clothes…but it’s soooo much easier to just throw my kids pants in a drawer and hang up their shirts/dresses
I have had to lose some foods over the years too. Even with trying your best it just happens. I am like you and will taste stuff after the exp date since a lot of times it's still good. If it's sorta stale I'll put it out for the birds and animals if it's something they can eat and that makes me feel better :)
My daughter was like that. I took her to a specialist. Their device would have never worked. So I did the opposite and just gave her the same foods over and over again. Mac and cheese was her staple. She was about 2. But eventually grew out of it. But when I started letting her eat what she wanted m, she started eating more, and her health improved.
Thank you, yes Tall rain boots. I learned the hard way,😃🦋
Oh my gosh, My son was a gagger! He got a really bad vomiting bug at 15 months old and was so put off by all food... I struggled with him for years and got help. But it really just took time, he is 18 now and still struggles with textures especially Meat and chicken. Keep offering him the same stuff over and over. Good luck!
You did so well cleaning your garden, shed, and building your new shed. And after it looked a lot better, and you had loads more space. Well done. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾❄️
Would love to see the backyard mini series! it is very motivating to see
Sometimes all you need is a compilation of throwing things out to get you motivated
Hahaaha you know what, I agree!!
I like to mix dark chocolate chips and semi sweet chocolate chips in my cookies too. It really does make them much better with the combination.
I have seven kids age 20 down to 4. Something I try to do is have all of their socks the same style and color so there’s never any sorting and pairing up. Also if a sock gets lost, the lonely one can still pair with the rest.
Loved your video.
I put things on the front of my house in a box. There are people who are willing to work and go around the neighborhoods and pick things up and resale them.
I just found your channel. My son is 3.5 years old and has difficulty with foods both flavor and texture (he has a genetic disorder that results in many autistic traits). He has had feeding therapy since 10 months old and still mostly eats purées/smoothies. I know how hard this is especially when family don’t understand.
Luckily my son’s preferred flavor is peanut butter, so he will eat oatmeal and smoothies with almost any fruit or veggie added as long as the dominant flavor is peanut butter. My advice is to try to just build on what he feels safe with and celebrate even the smallest victories ❤
Your vlog is total motivation! 🌟✨ Loving the extreme motivation and the realistic approach. The ideas you shared are so practical and achievable. Thanks for the inspiration, Catherine! 🧹💙
LOVE your decluttering videos! I have been trying to declutter my house myself before baby #2 makes his arrival in just two short months 😊
Also my daughter LOVES those Melissa and Doug jigsaw 🧩 shes so good at them and can do them by herself but I pick the pieces up all day haha
Absolutely love this!! Starting in 2024 I will be decluttering my entire house and this has definitely motivated me and given me ideas! Especially the pantry, mine is the same setup but yours is wider so that definitely helped me form a plan
also past the age of 5 kids can be helping out too, teaching new things and doing tasks together brings people together :)
and i might be late but chemicals from the shed can be given to some gardener for free through marketplace
The laundry basket of random clutter. CONSTANT!! Gah! I have this exact same problem. 😂
You probably won't want to hear this but, try toy rotation!
Daycare use toy rotation, put half as many toys away for a while, then rotate out some as you see your children becoming uninterested in what they are playing with.
Slowly you'll see what are their favorites and can eliminate some.
There will always be holidays and new toys to come.
Don't get overwhelmed by toys.
And your right, complete the declutter same day!😊
She mentioned she did that already in the video
You have great ideas
Your town most likely has a special place where you can take hazardous materials. In the large city where I live, this place is open the first weekend of the month. They take used fluorescent tubes and paint and pesticides... you name it!
Great inspiring videos 👍🏻
Good video Catherine and Merry Christmas for you and family
Merry Christmas Catherine! I hope Santa is good to you! Love you and your channel! Have a wonderful holiday! ❤🌲🌲
I have the steam clean on my oven and I like it a lot. it makes most things loose so you can wipe out. It does not get stubborn caked on items but it does get most. Put some vinegar in with the hot water when you do it, it helps. I cook a lot on my channel so I clean my oven a lot! I do the steam clean every 1-2 weeks tops so it stays on top of the mess.
Great job on all the decluttering. So proud of you for getting it to the donation and out of your home. 🙌❄️
My sister was food phobic as a child. Meal times were a nightmare, so I do understand. My mother was so stressed. She eats very healthily now. No junk food at all, and all meals cooked from scratch. She's also thin as a pin! Dont worry. All will be ok.
Thank you for taking a pause while your talking on your video
So many people talks of Astro get the most out of there video and all I hear is bla bla bla
Because it sounds like they are rambling on
I appreciate you taking time to actually slowdown on your talking to us . I like the organizing
I get that pinch and pain too. I take formula 303. All natural muscle relaxer. Smells terrible but it works!!! I used to get it at the chiropractor.
So cute Amber!!!
Awesome mom
🥰
🤣 OMG I do the same thing with husband’s clothes , hid them in another room for about 2 weeks 🦋
Hey mama! I’m sure you’ve already heard of it, but I’ve known someone who struggles with ARFID and really struggles with eating most things. But there is hope through therapy and other things!
I try to put stuff straight into the car that said I don’t always get rid of it the same day we have been driving round with it for two weeks 😮. New to your Chanel 😊
Thanks for the motivation! I need to go through toys it's tough to donate when I have a four year to 5 month old. Especially when family keeps buying toys for every new kid.
Hi, Catherine, Have a great day !!! 🫶👋
Have a great day!
Hello! I stopped by as other creators were not chatty enough! Perfect here
Oh that’s good to hear because sometimes I think I am TOO chatty haha
Thank you for the video! Which hand soap do you use in kitchen?
What is the name of your storage containers for your pantry, the ones with the colored rubber bottoms?
MINIMALIST is so so Freeing 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
❤❤❤
Thank you for the great video. Where did you buy the sleeping bag?
If you saw my pantry, you’d feel much better. Lol.❤
New to your channel!! Living all the cleaning and decluttering 😊 what do you spray on your bed? I’m not a fan of febreeze
My son was the same way at his age he went from eating everything as a baby to nothing. He was diagnosed on the spectrum & I've learned alot about yeast balance in our bodies. If it's out of sync our bodies will tell us to not eat something even without trying it
The food issues your son has sounds like ARFID to me (I have ARFID myself and it's a huge pain in the ass so I get the struggle). It's even more common in autistic people so pay attention to that too :)
To avoid hurting yourself try doing a little warm up stretching.
You don't always have to donate items it's ok to put it in your trash can for pick up and be done!
Oh my gosh I will get it into my truck and then drive around with it forever and then it ends up in my garage and we have an open garage so everybody then when that gets overwhelming I have to go through that and then take it
❤
Best by date is not the expiration date.
Try less snacks between meals. They eat better. Super nany does great getting kids to eat and try new food. Love the video
💚💜💙
The only thing I really want is to remodel my small master bathroom. My house is 39 years old and it is the original bathroom. I had saved the money for the remodel to do in the spring and ended up using the money last year helping my son. He lost his IT job and has not been able to get another job. He is suffering from depression and some other health issues.
I’m so sorry to hear that 😢 IT is a tough field to be in right now, I hope he finds something soon!
Before you start cleaning you should do some stretching maybe that will help so you don't have to go through all that pain😢 right when you said that I'm like she's reaching maybe stretching before cleaning would help
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊😊😊
I've heard before that using the self clean on your oven is super toxic. I've had oven repair people tell me never to use the self clean or oven cleaner as they both diminish the life of the oven. I don't use either one for toxic reasons so I was ahead of the game, but I don't think most people know that. I know I didn't.
1:18:01 what is climbing up the wall on the left side 👻 😱?
I feel like I want to throw everything out at this moment.
I have a 12yo that still only eats a few foods he was like that since 3yo I've done almost everything and now my 4yo is like that none of my other kids were like that its hard
My autistic nephew had a very narrow group of foods he would eat when he was young. Peanut butter sandwiches and chicken burgers with only lettuce (that's it) for a very long time. It expanded a bit as a teenager. He's now training to be a doctor, and works summers fighting fires, so he got enough nutrition to grow up just fine.
Anybody telling you iron your sheets should hush (that’s me being kind). No one should be telling anyone what should and should not be done in YOUR home. I honestly don’t know anyone who has ever ironed their sheets. I clean my house for my peace of mind and my family not anyone else. Just because you share videos on this platform does not mean you have to take crap from people.
Haha I don’t get it either!!! I am always cramming so much into such a short little window of time I have to get things done, I can’t be bothered ironing the sheets too 😩
please consider taking him to a speech therapist that specializes in swallowing and oral my facial therapy my son had the same issues with gagging when he was a baby in on into his childhood went to many doctors G.I. even ear nose and throat which he had a tonsillectomy and you would think that they would have noticed he had a tongue tie but they did not so it wasn't until he was age 15 that we finally figured out the source of all of his problemsafter an orthodontist had mentioned his tongue thrust and mouth alignment of teeth were all caused from a tongue tie
Sorry you are going through that with your kiddo , maybe see if you pediatrician can refer him to see an Occupational Therapist depending on the the ENT doctor says. I hope he starts eatting : 😊
Haha great job removing that trash bag🤣
I think it isnt taste, i think it is structure of the food!! Mine is the same
I agree, you're probably right. Even as an adult, the texture is extremely important to me. No matter what it tastes like, if the texture is wrong, I can't eat it.
Love your videos.But please slow down. The speed makes me dizzy. Longer is much better. Thank you for the inspiration!
I like the speed, but you can slow down the playback speed, if you want.
your pantry is huge compared to mine, which works perfectly well. why not just buy the things that are really eaten instead of buying, storing and eventually throwing away so much?
She explained it
She wanted to give you an opportunity to flex on her
@@annmarie6132 yeah, huge flex: my pantry is tiny…
I feel like I’ve already seen you do these toys before ? Is this from a previous video just re posted
Yes, she said a compilation of recent videos. ❤
Yes it’s a compilation!! I needed a little break before Christmas so I threw together a compilation video ☺️ I’ll be back next week with a new video!
If I could ask for and have one thing granted it would be to have all my bills paid for the next year. 😅
Same!!! 😩
longer slowed down videos!
Question are you a stay at home momma?
Cleaning up Rooms clothes books caucaro
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your channel! You recently motivated me to start my own cleaning channel :) Hope you can check it out some time ❤
That's not a lot of toys though
you dont want to see a chipmunk???
Huh? 😂
Hi
Less chat
Too many processed food.... waste of money
