As a former Jr High Home Ec teacher I can definitely confirm that this is a need at schools. Girls begin to ask for scarcity products from trusted adults at this age- deodorant, pads/tampons, lotion, hair care products, etc. Even young men will ask for these products for themselves or family members in need. Im glad your husband has such a caring soul and to have awareness of his students needs. That means he is one of the trusted and loved teachers! For anyone else wanting to do this I wouldn’t just drop items of at a school. I’d try to contact specific departments or teachers. Special education, home economics, sports/coaches, librarians, and school nurses would be your best bet. If they don’t have their own supply drawer or closet they will know who does!
Every now and then I have my car detailed. Like once a year just to freshen the car up. Your videos were fun to watch. I’m looking forward to your next videos.
That’s what I would like to do too, get an annual detailing. Knowing my luck someone will puke in the car soon after 😂 Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great little series i shall be implementig the fish bowl decluttering,great idea great outcome 👏👏👏well done and hope you enjoyd a merry xmas 🎉Lizzie🏴
I have loved this series, geekily looking forward to seeing you every morning. You are the most fun to watch vlogger I watch. Have a lovely holiday! I look forward to anything you want to do a series on. Could really use one on the low buy, but watching you go thru your office will be great too. God, I feel like such a suck up, but it’s all true. And yes, I do have a life. Love ya!
Thank you Mr Blake for helping with the holiday declutter. I’m sure Jamie is very grateful for your help. So proud of both of your accomplishments in the declutter series. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ms Jamie.
Well done on finishing the fishbowl - love a good declutter & tidy. Was itching to hoover your car but the airfare overrode my OCD tendancies - love 'Monica'.
Absolutely loved this series. I will miss it. Thank you for sharing and for allowing us into your struggles. Let’s us know we are not alone. You are awesome!!! Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas 🎄
Yay Blake, woohoo, you rock, you're amazing (little ego stroke for the amazing, supportive man in your life).!Thanks for the amazing series Jamie, have a blessed Holiday Season!
Thank you so much for this series. It has been inspiring to watch you declutter your home. I can hardly wait to see the whole house video. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄☃️🎄 Take care, Linda 🦋
What a great series 👏 I remember the comment made by someone to do this and i thought what a great idea 💡 You took that idea and ran with it and we have all loved it. Thank you and Happy Christmas 🎄
Loved this series! I looked forwarded to it every day and can't wait for you to hit the office!! Hope you and the family have a happy and restful holiday!
One thing I started doing that really helps the car stay clean is going thru and collecting all the trash and throwing it out everytime I stop for gas. You gotta just stand there anyway, might as well do something productive. If there's time I will also collect all the random things that need to go back in the house and put in the front seat to make easier to grab when I get home. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
I used to do that when I filled up for gas, too! Especially the drivers door that collects all the Starbucks straw wrappers lol 😆 I will say though that my sweet hubby takes my car to fill it up for me 95% of the time!
The music on this video gave me an earworm that was driving me nuts, until I figured out where I'd heard the first few notes before. Thanks. LOL And hope you have a wonderful holiday!
You have done an amazing, awesome vlogmas. I looked forward to your video each day! Thank you for all your hard work, and sharing your life with us. I wish you and your sweet family a beautiful Christmas ❤
I used to avoid cleaning my car until a “friend” said “ You know your car is a reflection of your home”. Holy cow! That did it for me! Now the car is clean, reflecting how clean my house is, haha, fooled them! Merry Christmas. I have loved your videos
Haha usually my car is way less cluttered than my house! 🤣 if I was having anyone other than the kids come in my car, I would care more. Blake can vacuum it once a quarter and that’s good enough for me 😜 his truck (aka his baby) is spotless all the time!
I started watching you after Feral Tradwife mentioned you. I think I had seen a video before but hadn’t come across you since. But wow this has been great, such a good series. Looking forward to seeing how you do in 2025. Merry Christmas 🎄
Such a great series! Now you have extra space and know where things are! Can’t wait for the next series to start! Great job Jamie! Merry Christmas to you and your family!😊
Oh man how did you survive this series?! These videos are beautifully done and long 😱😅 I only did six decluttering videos and filmed them in advance and I was still at a loss for time 😂 Round of applause 👏
Thank you so much! I quit working for a month and that’s the only way i accomplished this. But our house needed it so badly and the videos did much better than I ever expected, so it was totally worth it! Thanks so much for the kind words!
@ that’s dedication to quit your job for TH-cam 😅 wishing you continued success and happiness in the New Year! p.s. we are TH-cam friends now so expect to see me in your comment section often 🤣🤗
Hi Jamie, I tell my neighbor the back of my car is my second pantry. 🤦♀️ He always sees me getting food out of the back 😮 cause it’s so hard to unload it all at once, I just get what’s left when I need it. 😝 Love your vlogness videos. I relate to you in so many ways. Same kind of stuff to declutter, same disgusting bathroom vanity (it doesn’t bother me that much). Same love of treasure hunting. I can’t allow myself to go to yard sales or thrift stores.😂 Merry Christmas! Cheryl
I totally enjoyed this series! I love your channel and you of course. MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄🎁 I have my account all set up and videos, but so nervous about uploading…I love the fishbowl idea. Hey! Merry Christmas to you, the hubs, and your amazing children! God bless! Looking forward to more videos. Take care of you, so important! ❤
@@sallydsreality You can do it! What’s the worst that can happen? No one will watch? But after you keep putting videos out and practicing you get better and it gets easier and one day you put something out that resonates with YOUR audience! It’s really magical and has been therapeutic in many ways. And it’s not really about the subscribers (although you need to provide VALUE for them). It’s about growing and evolving yourself. Wishing you all the best in 2025 🤗 Just hit post!!
Even though you don’t care if your car is clean ,it’s still sets a good example for your boys, especially how to behave when they’re in someone else’s car. So take advantage of cheap child labor and pay them each a couple of dollars to Windex and vacuum the car. It’s so much easier for kids to reach all of those spaces and they will love it. (It was one of my first paying jobs when I was seven)
The "easy wins" you put in the fishbowl were not small or easy! What a lot of great results, though. Silly story about disposing of medications: About 7 years ago, when visiting my parents, I wanted to get a lot of my Dad's no longer prescribed medications out of the house. One brother told me, Don't flush them down the toilet, bad for fish and bad for the water system! So, I went to Walgreens, where I assumed there would be a safe drop box, where I was met with a Huh? response. A pharmacy staffer suggested I try the Fire Station. So, clutching the large bag of pill bottles, I walked about a mile in -5 F degree weather (I do remember this specifically, because I was bundled up but my thighs - which were the least bundled - became numb) to the Fire Station. Where a bunch of fire fighters looked at me like I was crazy. Whereupon I walked the mile back, clutching the bag of undeposited pills. The other brother then said, Don't be so squeamish, crush them up and put them in the garbage. I do not remember what I actually did, because I was tired of all the unhelpful advice. And because my everything had become frozen. (P.S. Walgreens now does have a safe deposit.)
Good job, congratulations, I love the whole fishbowl idea. I did my panty drawer because of you, but I haven’t done anything since. I think today, I have to go out and buy dessert for tomorrow, but other than that, I think I’m gonna dump out my sock drawer and bra drawer.
Keep some gallonsized ziplocks handy if kids get car sick. Ir si see theough though which sucks. You can zip it shut and throw it out after wirhout it spilling. 🤣 Also having a bucket handy can be helpful. We had a situation and I was thankful for ziplocks and bucket. It was rough but could have been wayyyy worse. We also have a throw up thing from teh doctors office in front of my one kid she can grab if need be. 😂 We always keep it if ee happen to get one and no one uses it.
Since the “slips in a bowl system” worked so well for you, why don’t you consider such a system ongoing. Make up slips of all the areas that you would want to maintain (or begin) regularly. Draw a slip once a week or whatever, and keep the slips that you finish. When you get through the slips, they all go back in the bowl and you run through them again on an ongoing basis.
Next series how to glow up! We loved this series and decluttered with you. Can you make series about beauty and health we can follow with you? Edit: like realistic one for us normal people not influencer perfect life one
Blake is a whole green flag. I also have rbf so i look unenthused for just about everything. 😂 him suggesting that he take those to school is very kind. My teachers all made me feel bad... (20ish years ago when i was in middle school) and him wanting them to be on had for the girls there is very kind. ❤
Haha yes he looks super intimidating which is helpful at work until they realize what a softy he is!! He is also the girls golf coach and even though we only have boys, he’s very fatherly to his “girls” and knows they have to go through a lot! He’s a great role model and father figure to a lot of the kids who don’t have one. Green flags all around!
It makes me so happy that the maxi pads went to Blake’s school. I taught middle school for years and had a stash for girls who needed them. Well done!
I was so surprised he suggested it! I wish I could be a fly on the wall when he walks in to give his coworker a bag of maxi pads 🤣

can't wait until you declutter the office
Great job Jamie. I'm going to miss my daily dose of Jamie sarcasm and wit
I hear you Sister...
Genuinely sad this series is over, I've enjoyed it so much! You've done an amazing job. Happy Christmas to you and your family ❤
Congratulations on completing the fishbowl! You absolutely crushed vlogmas! Merry Christmas!
The van looks enormously better. You are learning to put things back where they belong. Really looking forward to the office clean out ❣️❣️❣️🎄🎁🎅☃️
I enjoyed the fish bowl decluttering series. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas 🎄

Great work!! I hope you're proud of how much work you did this month! Very impressive especially given the time of year LOL. :)
