- MY HOUSE IS TRASHED! EXTREME DEEP CLEAN, ORGANIZE, RESTOCK & DECLUTTER WITH ME! I'm overwhelmed!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the Danni RaeArranged channel, welcome if you’re new, I am so HAPPY you’re here with me! Today's video is long, per usual and extra ultra chatty, per usual LOL. My house is trashed, and I explain (in a panicked way HA!) why. I’m overwhelmed with the month of December, but I have to get it together and that's exactly what we’re doing in today’s video. We are deep cleaning, organizing, restocking and yes decluttering, I wasn’t going to make this a long video and I wasn’t going to make it a declutter but of course I found more things to declutter as the cleaning, organization and decluttering will be a never-ending journey. I also try out some new cleaning products in today’s video and we also get into some discussions on a variety of topics, so this is one you won't want to miss. If you are looking for some extreme motivation, if you are feeling overwhelmed, perhaps you’re overwhelmed with the month of December too, then you came to the right video! This video is jam packed with motivation! I also show before & after's of the areas we cleaned in today’s video, because I love a good satisfying before & after, it was almost a whole house clean with me! Thank you for being here with me, I luv & appreciate you so much friend.
If you have not already subscribed and you like today’s video, I sure hope you consider subscribing. I would love to have you on this journey with me friend! Regardless, thanks for being here with me!
*I talk about Instagram in today’s video. If I cannot get on Instagram on my phone by the end of the week, I am creating a new IG account, as I have been absent over on IG for far too long. I will post a community post when I have an update with Instagram.

I cannot find the exact duster I bought, but this is very similar to one I purchased, I actually think this one is a better deal, you get more, however I don't know if these bend either, mine doesn’t bend. There're so many extending dusters off Amazon, the Swiffer extending duster seems nice too, see that one linked below as well. But I haven’t tried either of the products linked below so I can't make a final judgment on them. If I find the exact one I have, Ill update this and link it below.

Hello everyone & welcome back to the Danni RaeArranged YT channel, welcome if you are new, thank you for being here with me today! I wanted to comment on a couple of things #1 this video is almost like a vlog, so it's very, very chatty but hopefully really motivating, per usual I jam packed as much as I possibly could in today's video, it was necessary as December is here and my house is a "complete disaster 😂" I was actually going to make a short video, but that certainly didn't happen. So, I just wanted to let you know it's almost like a vlog. #2 at the end of the video when I empty the mop bucket into the toilet, on the floor next to the toilet, that is not pee, its wax 😂#3 pretty sure when I was talking in the 4 season about gifts/my gift bin, my shirt was inside out LMBO #4 I wanted to talk more about some of the things that were brought to the cabin and then brought back to my house, but I didn't get enough time, we will discuss that in the next basement video, which I'm hoping will be the next video, if not the next video, for sure the video after. Okay that's about it, here is my book LMBO Love & appreciate ya so much!
Danni i dont think u have ever made a short video 🤣🤣
This comment LOL is so SPOT ON! 1000% Facts! 🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t read the comments, but I’m sure other people are saying the same thing. Don’t change videos! Don’t try to be more calm! Don’t change a thing! I love your energy. Your videos are extremely motivating! I watch calm cleaning videos when I am resting. Your videos are entertaining and motivating. Keep doing what you’re doing! I love it!
😭 this comment...it pulled at my heartstrings! I cannot tell you enough how much that means to me. Thank you, I'm so very grateful you're here with me friend ❤️ yeah, I don't think I could be calm even if I tried, it really doesn't come natural for me 🤣🤣 I pinky promise I will never change, love and appreciate you so much 🥰
I agree 100%!! Don't change anything! I'm new here but you're my new favorite. 🥰🐦
On the cool morning of december 5th, i debated opening a bottle of wine at 8am to replace my coffee. My slow march to 30 just hit a sprint as i hit 28, my house looks like it vomited christmas and not in a good way. The Thanksgiving mess of 30 people was still halfway staring at me from acouple days before, and the damn little elves were mocking me as they spread glitter and confettii all over my house. I felt this video in my soul, and i appreciate this video so much. Is this life? Yes. Is it messy? Oh you betcha! Much love my northern friend from kentucky we will survive december!
I literally am in tears, my sides hurt from Laughing! You could be an author; you could write many books LOL I felt this comment in my soul 😆"damn little elves were mocking me as they spread glitter and confetti all over my house" 🤣🤣🤣 YES! This comment is just 1000% spot on! It absolutely is real life, oh ya you betcha LOL I swear it'll never end, and December is a hard month, but we will survive December. 😆 I LOVE this comment so much!
So grateful you're here with me friend! Sending lots of love to my Southern friend this holiday season! 🥰😘
My precious Erica’s birthday was December 26th on Boxing day. She’s the daughter I lost 7 years ago. I went into labour on Christmas morning that year. I was opening Christmas presents in between contractions. It was surreal. I got the best Christmas present when she was born at 1:02 am the next morning. She was my Christmas baby. Boxing day is still hard every year. So is Christmas Day but I’m so grateful for my family and my 2 grandsons Erica left behind. We are still blessed. Merry Christmas to you and your family Danielle and enjoy those December birthdays.
Sending you hugs from another Mom that knows your heartache. Ourcson was killed in an accident on Christmas Day 8 yrs. ago.
Laury Im sending you so much love thoughts and prayers this holiday season, if I could go through the screen and hug you I would, I know ive said this before but, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain and devastation of losing a child. Its breaks my heart. I know ive said this before too, but I am so very sorry. You're an amazing grandmother, and your grandsons are an amazing blessing! I'm glad you have each other. Merry Christmas to you, your grandsons and your family. Sending a big virtual hug ❤️❤️❤️
I am so, so very sorry for your loss, I am sending you so much love, thoughts and prayers. I cant even begin to imagine the pain and devastation of losing a child, that is the worst nightmare. If I could hug you through this screen, I would. Sending you extra love this holiday season 🙏🙏❤️
@@sburwell75z
I’m so very sorry for your loss as well. No one understands like another mom. 🙏💞🎅🏻
Try to have a Merry Christmas. 🎄
@@danniraearranged
Thank you so much Danielle. Your support means a lot. Luv you and your channel!
💞🙏💞🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄
I'm at the part where you're comparing yourself unfavorably to other cleaning videos and had to hit pause. I subscribed because of your chaotic energy, not in spite of it! I love your vibe, and authenticity is always better than some fake ideal :)
Love the video!! I have been keeping my house tidy. I busted butt to get it in manageable order. Now I can do a 20 min pickup. And, the place is clean. I finally deep cleaned the den. And, put our Christmas 🎄 up. I am down to one room out of 9. It will take me a solid month to get it decluttered, clean, and organized. I got all the old food out of the refrigerator. Need to clean it and the stove. Laundry is staying done and put away. I can not thank God enough. For giving me the strength and the boost I prayed for. I have been reading my Bible and listening to gospel music. And, I can feel my mood and attitude changing. Thank you for being yourself. Thank you for making me laugh. Loved seeing your Mom. Your house is beautiful. Messy or clean. You are beautiful with or without makeup. I hope you have an amazing week!
Love all of your videos! Your mom is so adorable and funny. You guys are so great together. I think you need to give yourself some grace regarding trying to do everything and be everything to everyone. Make sure to rest and take care of yourself. Love your channel so much, and please don't change your style. Your videos are energizing and make me laugh when I'm feeling down. xxxx
Just take a deep breath when you feel overwhelmed. You are awesome person. Beautiful home.
I just LOVE you friend! Thank you for always making my day brighter! And yes 100% agree, I need to breath, I'm a tad bit high strung 😆🤣I need to take deep breaths often LOL! Hugs 🥰🥰
You make my day watching you.
I just found your channel today and I'm so glad I did. Your cleaning videos are the most realistic and relatable on TH-cam. Not to mention that your sense of humor about everything made me laugh countless times. I feel so much of what you said about my own home and it's a breath of fresh air to watch a content creator that doesn't try to make their life seem perfect and have on a gorgeous outfit and perfect hair while they're cleaning up what looks like the most minor of messes which is so ridiculous and again, totally unrelatable. Your channel is awesome. 😊
You don't need to make shorter videos. As soon as I finish a new one I go back to the begining and watch it again 😂. Love it as always.
Awww thank you friend, that made my day! Thanks for watching & always being here with me! hugs 🥰🥰
Yeppers have another cup of coffee Dani. You really want your mom to laugh. Wrapped up her Halloween decor and give it her for Christmas. Then she'll have to take it back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm cracking up OMG Im soooo doing that! LMBO Her birthday is also on Christmas 😆I could wrap it all up for her bday and Christmas LOL Her face would be priceless! I have her Bday Present (actual one LOL) But I'm not sure what I'm going to get her for her Christmas present, I mean the woman has everything already 😂Im almost done with all the shopping. I didnt go overboard this year or last year, I've been handling the holiday season pretty well, well with gifts, I dont know about everything else, per my video today LOL Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. Thanks for watching....and the laugh HA! xo
@@danniraearranged my shopping is done. All l have to do wrapped it all. I hate wrapping
Danni, Decluttering is never one and done. I have a box I keep in a closet and as I find something I put it in and when full off it goes. I found years ago that I plan the night before my home tasks for the next day and as time evolved I even put a time on each thing. It really kept me on task. Example.. Monday all sheets and dusting. Tuesday..Vac and mop. Wednesday.. bathrooms. Thursday.. white laundry Friday..darks etc etc. Always remember you aren't alone. Love you! Hugs.
I love how structured & organized you are! I need something like that, Ive tried doing something similar, my problem is I dont stick with it. I have a very difficult time with routine, but once it becomes habit than its fine, it just because a normal natural routine. I need to actually stick with a schedule like the one you have, I love that. And having a box in the closet is a GREAT idea! And thank you! LOVE you friend! Thanks for watching & being here with me! hugs back 🥰
Hi Danni 😊 It always makes my day when I see that you posted a new video! You are one of my favorite youtubers ❤. BTW I love the chattiness!!
Danni, may I make a suggestion? I discovered many years ago that I would get totally stressed out with all the stuff I needed to get done. So I compartmentalized my home. I clean the kitchen every day; dishes, counters, stove, microwave, etc. I do bedrooms on Fridays. That's when I strip the beds. Then I move onto the bathrooms and clean the sinks, counters, showers and toilets. While I'm doing that my washing machine is going. On Tuesday, more laundry. I also grocery shop on Tuesday. Mondays I go around all rooms and do a quick tidy after the busy weekend. This shouldn't take more than 30-45 minutes. One day a week, usually Wednesdays, I do a special project like dust, clean the windows or mop/vacuum the floors. I pretty much leave Saturday & Sunday open. Thursday is up for grabs...if I didn't finish something, like folding laundry or restocking my pantry, then I do it. By breaking down the tasks at hand it's not so stressful or over whelming. Make a schedule, post it on your refrigerator, check each day off and stick with it. You'll be surprised!!!! I hope this helps you. We all struggle Danni; you are not alone.
I just want you to know that I watch every video in 2x speed and your sped up voice really adds to the chaos and I love it so much! 😆
Speaking of breaks, I'm taking a break to watch this video lol 😅
🤣🤣🤣
Makes me happy that i;m your break today LOL I took about...oh I dont know...20 breaks through out filming this video HA! Thanks for watching & being here with me friend! Hugs 🥰🥰
Seems like a lot of people are overwhelmed, after getting Covid last year my anxiety is pretty high at times. Today was one of those days. Seeing you and your mom put a smile on my face. I want you to know how much you are appreciated. Your channel is a ray of sunshine to a lot of people you can tell in the comments. So just know that your making a difference for the good in many ways. Enjoy the day. Happy holidays. 🌲
Danni, the glass, ceramic or other material containers for candles are made of fire-resistant material. 🌋for this reason they can be used to cook pudding in them 🍮 in the oven or to heat something in the microwave, 🥛they can withstand high temperatures. I always save glasses from candles, 🕯to wash off the wax, use vegetable oil. I even sometimes buy candles with the intention of cooking dessert in them in the future🍨
The last couple weeks have been really rough on me too and boy seeing your video appear and the intro.. lord it was spot on. Thank you for sharing and being real, it's much appreciated and needed. ❤️❤️ We will get through this!!
I'm so sorry friend, I hope you're okay. The holiday season can sometimes be a rough season, it can be overwhelming and hard. I'm sending you lots of love and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and very Merry Christmas. And you are the absolute sweetest! Thank you, im so grateful you're here with me! Yes we will get through this 1000%. Sending a big virtual hug 🥰
Every year I tell myself, I'm going to start early that way I won't get stressed and can enjoy the season. Never-ever happens. I just decorated yesterday, have not bought one single present and will have to go grocery shopping next week. However, with all that said, as I get older, each year I simplify the holidays. For me it's really simple, it's about the four F's .......Faith, Family, Friends, Food. Love your channel, Danni. I love your Mom's unexpected cameo.
Please Danni please stay the way you are grrrrreat😂😂
Absolutely great video, Danni. You have such a great positive outlook and attitude toward life. Love your videos. You are such a real, honest and down to earth person. Take care.

Cookie i luv & appreciate ya so much! Thank you for always making my day brighter and being here with me, im so grateful you're here with me friend! you take care too, love from MN
I have my birthday too this month just before Christmas !
🎄 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🤶🏻🎂🎄
Yeah lots of planning,shopping,cooking,coordinating,cleaning!
It’s a busy time without Sagittarius birthday season!
Happy birthday to all the Sagittarius people out there.🎉
My son, my husband and my mother-in-law are all Sagittariuses (did I spell that right 😆) very HAPPY early birthday to you friend 🎁 I hope you have the best birthday ever and a very Merry Christmas. Lots of love 😘
@@danniraearranged Thank you so much for the birthday wishes that is very sweet. Birthday blessings to all the Sagittarius family members you are celebrating with. You are awesome for hosting all that for them.
I just love watching you on this Platform you bring cheer to my life and a whole bunch of giggles.
Thank you friend. 🙏🏼💕😊💕
Your family should never be a distraction. I lost my mom 12 years ago to cancer. I wish everyday that she was still here. My daughter is 27 now and I wish I had spent more time with her as a child. I am trying to give my grandkids my full attention but sometimes it doesn’t work.
Ohhh Danniiiiiiiiiiii
How does that happen sweet girl?
Focus, focus, focus.
Make lists, prioritize.
Awwwww
I know you think that your videos are "chaotic" for lack of better words, but I resonate so much with you and your channel. At one point you made me confident enough to consider starting a cleaning channel. Most of the channels out there are too perfect and unrealistic for my life and yours is amazing. My house is way more cluttered than yours but I know it's organized. I just struggle with spots for everything. Lol. And it feels like I'm watching and talking to a friend while cleaning. Thank you for your honesty and realism. Never change.
Ceiling fan? Holy crap! I just looked at mine🙀
I'm just gonna make believe it's not there😅
🤣🤣 those are the types of things I forget to clean often lol. My ceiling fan was BAD! the camera didnt do it justice. Those dang ceiling fans are a tricky one! Always so happy to see you here with me friend. Thanks for watching xo
@@madelinechriston8970 I can’t unsee it now…
@@danniraearranged you’re welcome. I love your videos.
Beautiful final result!
I wanted to tell you the dryer drum can be used outside to burn wood a bon fire 🔥😮
Yayy another danni video!! Im decluttering while listening
Love & appreciation back at ya! ❤
🥰🥰😘
You’re a champion! That house was BAD I would have wanted to get in my bed . What an awesome job
You have a busy December! I like how you cleaned up everything and it all has a home! I'm excited to see the basement makeover! Also, seems better that hall closet is for coats , I think go for it in the mud room!! Put some sort of heating in if needed, a faux fire place?? And get your self a real command center! U will have more space if using the mudroom, basement and four season room to spread out a kid craft zone somewhere, and a real desk and command center for you!! I'm excited about the mudroom too
I just realised I have been watching you since you started and I don’t know what time of year your birthday is ? I am sure your viewers would love to know so we can send you birthday love and wishes ❤
Awwwww thank you! Thats so sweet of you! I dont think Ive ever announced my bday before, I try to forget about it LMBO but my birthday is April 27th. I'm a Spring baby. My moms birthday is on Christmas Day LOL. So many birthdays in December, Ians sister and I were born on the same day, I'm actually a couple hours older than her. Thanks for watching & being here with me friend. Hugs 🥰
@@danniraearranged oh wow mines May 9th you are a fellow Taurus and my mother in laws birthday is Christmas Day too !!
I'm only 7 mins in and already so relatable!! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I could so relate to how you feel to so many things. Something about December 1st puts my brain in overdrive too, huge family so lots goes with that, birthdays, holidays, cooking, decorating, shopping, etc. I LOVE candles and do the same as you, use the leftover for wax melts and always want to repurpose those jars. I start cleaning and am OCD neat, clean and organized so always get distracted decluttering as I go. Technology, nope, horrible at that and always have to wait and ask my grandkids for help. I think my brain just short circuits I swear 😂. Wait until you’re 65+, time goes by so fast and the body can’t keep up with my endless to do lists. New Year’s resolutions…nope gave up on those years ago as I failed miserably at them. Happy 2024!
As an Australian I have never tasted pumpkin pie! 😮
I have had roasted pumpkin many times. Delicious!
Too funny I've never tried roasted pumpkin. You'll have to try pumpkin pie and I'll have to try roasted pumpkin. I look forward to pumpkin pie every holiday season, it's gotta be made right though, I've had some pretty gross pumpkin pie before but Costco pumpkin pie 😋 so good, they did it right. Problem is I go overboard with it, I ate about 85% of that pie 😬😆 thanks for watching and being here with me friend 🥰
Everyone has too much stuff.
I had to laugh about the dryer diy.
But it’s not as crazy as the story I’m going to tell you. I bought a washer in 2009, it died after 5 years and would cost $540.00 to fix it. My friend got a new washer & gave me her old one. My sister swore she would get the other one fixed. But I picked up the free one, moved my old one out, hooked up the working washer. Was preparing to put mine on the curb. My sister had a fit didn’t want it in the garage. She kept that washer in the dining room for years. I finally moved it to the garage a few years ago. And recently had guy move it out on junk pick up day. At least your dryer wasn’t in your dining room! And it’s lighter than a washer. You can shove it out of the way! I think my sister is a little cra-cra 😂
I've used concrete paint.. it is not the greatest! It will definitely look much better than what you have now but it needs a lot of time to cure and you would want to stick furniture pads on everything. It actually ended up being cheaper for me to finally just purchase the thinnest peelnstick tiles i could find.
A rule I made for myself might help you. Any item I use. And dish or cup I dirty, put it away! I am the example for my kids. They watch and emulate me.
This comment is 1000% spot on! I completely agree!
🥰🥰❤️
This might be the most relatable video I’ve ever watched 😂
I love your videos! They're very motivating. ☺️🩷
Your mom is AMAZING. She is such a sweetheart the way she's always bringing you stuff. I love her personality. She's hilarious. 🥰❤️
This seriously made my holiday season! Thank you friend! Im so grateful you're here with me! Hugs 🥰
🤣🤣its at least once a week LOL I dont ask, she just does it out of the kindness of her heart, she loves doing it too. And she usually gets things we need like groceries for example, shes the best, I am so grateful for her and appreciate everything she does, she does too much!
Shes definitely a hoot, she cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣
Yes I’m watching this 5ish months later. This is like looking in the mirror at myself!! I explain that feeling, you’re trying to explain (too much caffeine feeling), “my body goes into overdrive mode.” it feels like you’re overwhelmed/anxious bc all you think of when you see the mess is “I gotta do this before I do that. That stuff needs to go into the trash or recycle. Or Where do I even start 🤯” etc. I also Iove to DIY!! To make matters worse, I’m OCD about cleaning to make matters worse 🤦🏻♀️.
Hi Danni my house is a mess I got the motivation to start on my fridge freezer and pantry thanks to you my love ❤
I have used the all purpose cleaner you showed it smells nice and it works for me.😊
I really like it! I love the smell of it too, it's kinda a Christmas scent. I'll be getting it again. Thanks for watching, commenting and being here with me friend 🥰
A couple years I heard about the term “clutter threshold”. Everybody is different. I found that for me, i would do a bunch of decluttering, and then when I thought I was finished, I would notice the messes creep up again. And so I would Declutter some more. Decluttering is never one and done but I’ve now found that spot where I can tidy up my house easily in 15 minutes.
I tell ya, if you haven’t heard of Dana White - you should check her out!
SO you know you have 365 days between birthdays and Christmas. Last year my friend and I were both overwhelmed with Christmas. And I said Hey you know we know it is coming why are we stressed? we both worked on it. I wrapped 90% of my Christmas presents before Nov. 1st. Now this week I am putting on the bows and making them pretty to go under the tree. The BEST advice I received was in preparation for my wedding. A friend suggested a weeding box. Place everything for the wedding in one box. It saved me. I spread anything I needed for the wedding on the table and then put it all in the box. So you know December is rough. Consider planning one big freezer meal each week for the crockpot. Also One box for each Birthday, balloons, plates napkins. For the day after Thanksgiving/Christmas, my aunt made a big crockpot of chili. it gave us something to eat when we wanted not having to wait for a meal, a bunch of teenagers in her house!!! Best wishes!!! SOOOO!!!! understand the deep breaths!!!
Hi, Dani! Yahoo! Another video! Love it! I really like the snowman shower set you got. Where did you find that? Too cute! I started going thru my Christmas decor and separating the things I want to keep and the things I want to give my daughter and granddaughters. Since I hardly have people over for Christmas I do little decorating. I do have a sofa table I call my boyfriends memorial table and decorate for the seasons. It has special pictures and things that remind me of him. This will be my second Christmas without him. We did have at least two Christmas’s before he past away. I still miss his smile and his sweetness. You would have liked him. Everyone did. Playing guitar his whole life kept him going. He almost became famous. Back in the day when we were dating, his band played with The Rolling Stones the first time they came to Michigan. I thought he would get closer to fame and I couldn’t fit into that frame of mind. He did work with a local band that had some hit songs and that band was The Unrelated Segments. He played for that band for a few yrs then went to California to live for awhile. Funny how things come around again. So happy we found each other again before he past away. Sorry for the rant. Great video! Hugs to you and hope Ian is feeling well. Hope to hear from you before Christmas but if not, have a blessed holiday and happy to be here for you. Look forward to your videos and comments.🎄🎄💜🥰🎸
Sharon Im sending you extra love this holiday season. I can't imagine how difficult this most be. The holiday season is a hard season when you've lost people you have loved. But I know he's there with you! I know for a fact I would have liked him! He sounds like an incredible guy and clearly someone who was incredibly talented, that is absolutely nuts that he played with the Rolling Stones, thats 😮😮😮 I totally get it though, I dont think I could handle, and personally want, that kind of fame. But thats is just WOW! It is funny how things come around again, when something is meant to be, it'll be! And I LOVE your comments, I look forward to them every video, Im glad you share what you share with me! Your comments always brighten up my day! I hope you and your family have the most wonderful, happy and blessed Holiday Season. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hugs🥰🥰❤️
Omg sister, you crack me up! Lmao! The papers from school will eventually taper off the older they get! And those videos that are calming I don't think that is real life!
Quick story about having too many spare gifts. The Osbornes were/are a prominent Arkansas family. The Osborne lights at Disneyworld were from them. They, after a series of events and the father's passing, went bankrupt and the house and contents were sold off. They had a HUGE closet of wrapped gifts, to give out to surprise guests at Christmas. We're talking video game systems, high end toys, you name it and it was wrapped in that closet. All those gifts ended up being bought, still wrapped, and sold at a flea market. Being prepared is good. Being overly prepared can be excessive and hurt you, be it in space you want or money you don't need to spend. Good job!
It’s such a treat when you post a new video! I’ve just gotten cozy in bed to watch it. You are my very favourite TH-camr 💖
I love you just the way you are - though I appreciate the fact that you are highly strung - it must be painful for you - but I enjoy all your videos nonetheless. Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Do your best to be calm - even though I appreciate how hard it is for you - it is not your fault Danni Rae - you are who you are naturally.
😭This comment pulls at my heartstrings! I just love ya friend! Thank you! Ya I think im high strung, very not calm, bouncy hot mess for life 🤣🤣 being calm doesnt come naturally for me LMBO but we are who we are and who we are is amazing! I'm so grateful you're here with me friend! I hope you and your family have an amazing holiday season! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Hugs 🥰😘
The Pomodoro system. I use it daily at work to stay on task and remember to take a break. That is also time I don't let coworkers stop to chit chat. Works amazing once you start using it. Don't know why I never thought to use it at home! Great idea, thank you. ❤
That is so awesome, i am excited to research this method and try it out! I'm hoping it works at home as well as it does for you at work. I definitely need timers, I need something structured to keep me on task. Thanks for sharing this with me and thanks for watching & being here with m friend! 🥰
So good to see you ❤️
Pumpin Pie with a spoon from the pie plate!!!! Girl Dinner!!! Pomodoro … you said it right. Maybe try the Minimal Mom on kitchen plates etc..
Enjoy the mess now because one day your house will always be neat and tidy and that’s because your kids are grown and out of the house. Then the grandkids come and the mess comes back and you enjoy it with a joyful heart. Hugs from southwest Florida!
🌴🌴🌴
😭😭😭I was just thinking about that the other day! My son just recently turned 13, I officially have a teenager and Im having a hard time with it LOL My kids are growing up so fast, its bitter-sweet. You're 1000000% correct, one day I am going to really miss the mess, I just want time to slow down. But I bet having grandkids is an absolute JOY! Lots of love and hugs back from cold....oh so cold...HA...MN 🥰🥰
How many different decluttering, cleaning and organizing methods have you tried? Maybe you could make your own “Dani Method” using the useful parts of the other ones you have tried. There are bits that work for you in each of them. Use your strategies that you have developed over the years to get better at your job of “stay at home Mom”.
I think ive used about 100 different methods LMBO 😆Come to think of it, I honestly think the reason I am constantly trying different methods is because Im trying to find the perfect one, the secret method (I think I just had a breakthrough moment, no joke LOL) and the truth is there is no secret or perfect method, I think you're right, I think making your own method and taking what you've learned from other methods is the best way to figure out what works for you and your family. I also think its kinda fun trying new methods, I receive a lot of comments about different methods and Im always like "oooh another one I can try, this will be the one" 🤣I agree 1000% In fact Im gonna talk about this in a future video, because this is a great point! Thank you so much for watching & being here with me friend! Hugs 🥰
i love your manic energy, it matches my my own and is far more motivating! don't change
Oh my gosh girl has it's been a week for us!!! So our dryer went out last Friday. So we decided to get a whole new set washer and dryer. So now we are going to do a makeover on our laundry room but we are looking into things on doing it.
Now that we are headed into cooler weather I'm so not motivated to do any cleaning. So I totally understand that you are busy. Great video and I agree about getting rid of the dryer!!!😂
If it was me I would take the dryer apart and use the cabinet as either a work counter or a compost bin, and repurpose the drum as a planter... but I totally get not repurposing it too. Maybe you could at least take it to a scrap yard and get some money for it? Or post it on buy nothing for someone willing to try and fix it? 🤔
You my friend are much, much more talented than I. I would never think to do anything like that, those are actually really cool and fun DIYs/Ideas. I know for me personally, I would love to do something like that, but I know the dryer would just sit, I have all these fantasy projects. If I was the type of person who actually completed all the DIYs lol Id totally do something like that. Ya its most likely gonna find a new home at the scrap yard, LOL Always so HAPPY to see you here with me Vara! Sending lots of love this holiday season. Hugs 🥰
Love your snowman bathroom set Danni, very cute!!!!!! ⛄
You are doing good. It’s hard work keeping up with a house. It helps significantly to just buy less or nothing. But with growing kids, I have 4 it just needs done all the time.
Check your browsing setting on your phone sometimes if you have high level of secure web browsing on it can block access to apps
I had no idea! Thank you so much for sharing this with me! It is the ODDEST thing, it makes Zero sense why I can access IG on my computer but not my phone??? What is it about me that all things technical hates me 🤣
UPDATE: so I tried checking my browsing settings and its still not allowing me in, however I could be doing this wrong, Im gonna try messing around with some of my settings, wish me luck, I may need another new phone once I'm done with it 😂 Thanks for sharing and helping me out! PS hope you & the family are doing well, always so Happy to see you here with me! Hope you and your family have an amazing holiday season. 🥰
Let’s get her done! Don’t go in calming mode. 😊😅
I dont think I could calm down if I tried 🤣🤣 I'm just an all over the place, bouncy/high strung hotmess 24/7 😆 I've tried to do the slow living, the calm relaxing cleaning and It doesnt look right 🤣"I got crap to do" LMBO Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend! Hugs xoxo
I’m the same way, all over the place! 😂👩🦰
Uff-da! Sounds like your December is quite like my November. We have 4 birthdays in the fam on top of Thanksgiving. But at least i dont have quitr as many presents to plan for theat month before. Great job resetting your house! Always feels so good! 💖 Always enjoy your videos!
Lmaooo at 19:00!
Girl that pumpkin pie did look good. Great motivation. You did awesome. Just love you n your videos. N love how your mom gets to pop over. So cool.
Omg child! Don’t eat the pie with a spoon!!! Lol😂
🤣🤣🤣
Yeppers 🤣 If you want a routie like the woman who had a weekly schedule, start with 1 or 2 things. So do what you normally do but from now on on Mondays you'll do X and on Fri you'll do Y and then eventually those will be regular habits. I'm assuming that'll work, my apartment is a toatl mess so I have no clue, but it sounds good. 😂
Hi friend!!
Hey, hey friend! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me! 🥰🥰😘
that’s the most perfect new year’s non-resolution i’ve ever heard - enjoy every moment - what could be a better way to spend your life than that? oh, and when you were talking about your issues with technology, i thought you said you have a “horse field” and that sounded kinda nice - little tiny horses in a field doing their horsey thing, trotting about and whinnying (not to be confused with whining) until i realized you said “force field” which is less nice and more darth vadery. and i’m glad you don’t play music in your videos because it’s way more fun to listen to your very own songs!
Hahahaha! 🤣😂 My stomach! I coudn´t stop laughing about the dryer!!!🤣🤣🤣 Thank God, Danielle! No DIY on the dryer! 😂😂 Your Mom is right! 🥰😘 Love your projects in general, but yes, get rid of the dryer is a good idea! 😆 Try to not work too hard in December! It doesn´t have to be perfect in all things, just do the parties & gatherings, and the fun stuff! December and christmas are all about cozyness and having good times! I hope you will have great birthdays celebrations! (My birthday is the day after your Mom..) I read that your birthday is April 27th! We have to watch a video then! 🤩🤗
🤣🤣🤣seriously when i read my moms text and all of the comments about the dryer I cam back down to earth 😆I NEEDED that, for real what was I thinking, yeppers I took it too far this time with the dryer. Like seriously what would I actually do with it 😂 it would just sit because I would stare at thinking "what in the am I gonna do with a hunk of metal like this??" Sometimes I think I just want to give myself a challenge and make things harder for myself LOL. And you are 1000% correct, I need to calm down everything is gonna be fine, I just need to enjoy December and being with family & friends, just live in the moment! Everything doesnt have to be perfect! I couldnt agree with your comment more! And yeppers LOL my moms bday is on Christmas day and VERY HAPPY early birthday to you, you're a Christmas baby too, well almost but I consider the 26th to be a Christmas baby! YAY I hope you have the most amazing birthday ever! I try to forget my birthday I think thats why I never mentioned it LMBO but yep Im a Spring baby April 27th, I should do a bday video, I might just do that. Love and Appreciate ya so much friend! Hugs 🥰🥰
@@danniraearranged Thanks Danni! 🥰🤗❤ Have the greatest December & Christmas and Happy Birthday to both Ian & your Mom!! ❤🌲🌟🎄✨🎉
Hi Danni! i don't think decluttering ever truly ends, or as you said "will i ever be done?!" .... things break, get worn out, get used up, our tastes change, etc. i think the day we're "done" is when we're dead!
aside from 1 large breed dog, i live alone. i don't like to shop much or decorate, preferring my house to be almost steril/empty. ...yet there's always things that i "find" to declutter when i clean - broken, worn out, used up, etc... or ask "why did i keep this piece of string?! i don't want that!" you obviously have a larger household then me (me and the dog vs you, hubby, kiddos, and pets)... my maintenance decluttering is going to be different from your maintenance decluttering - remember that! the decluttering your doing now is maintaining the level of space you gained downsizing the last couple years! 😊
last thought: i find watching your videos funny AND calming. Why? Because i'm not the one being on the video/creating it, i just get to enjoy it! If i were on camera while cleaning and decluttering, i too would feel "not calming" (i dont like people watching me, and im very conscious of my wording; plus i just get irritated at myself when i clean). Don't strive to clean "calmer" then your natural rhythm, continue to keep your channel real and just be you and your style! Myself and (guessing that) everyone else watching your vids, do it because we like and feel we can connect with you 😁
Stephanie, this comment...i felt this comment in my soul! Thank you so much for sharing this and being here with me friend, I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate this! And your absolutely 100% spot on with everything you said! I am now dealing with the decluttering Maintenace and I have to accept that and not get frustrated with it, because as you stated, the decluttering is never going to end, I have to keep doing it all the time in order to maintain the home, I do however still think I have too much stuff, I would love to be even more minimal but I have 3 other people in the home that are just not comfortable with that, finding that balance can be very challenging but so worth it! When you stated, "to just be you and your style" and that "we like and feel we can connect with you" that is seriously everything! Thank you. Yeah I dont think I could be more calm even if I wanted to, its not natural for me LMBO 😂and the most important thing is that I keep it real, raw & genuine and the truth is im a boucy, high strung, all over the place, weird, hotmess....lol it is what it is and we are who we are and who are is amazing! I love this comment so much! Thank you for watching & being here with me friend! I appreciate ya so much 🥰🥰
I think your December prep needs to start on November 1st!!
🤔😲😄
🤣.... 💯 Lol
Love ur videos.... Keep doing what ur doing everything will work itself out in the end. 🙂 im not great at routine either so ur not alone
I had a crazy thought about your living room furniture and the bay window. You mentioned in an old video you weren’t sure how to make that more of a feature with the sofa size etc. So, my brain always seems to be churning on stuff like that…. 🤷🏼♀️😆. What *if* since the French doors are extra for that bedroom, you close them and treat it like a wall? On both sides they could hide behind curtains or a screen and for the living room you could place the back of the sofa on that wall, shift the tv unit to the corner by the bay window, and you’d have room to add a cute chair by the bay window with Christmas village decor for Dani relaxation time.🥰 just a crazy thought. 👍
Great video as always!!!
The jarred candles.... I buy these just as much for the gorgeous jar as I do the scented candles, because I like to repurpose them as containers for other things! The problem is: I almost never burn these candles because burning candles is not a habit of mine. It's not like I'm SAVING them for "a special time", it's just not something I do much of anymore. (I used to burn them a lot.)
As for bananas: freeze them peeled.
I have candles in every room,I NEVER burn ANY! I think it started when I had wild kittens and was afraid they would start a fire,but they’re both gone now,last one died last year at age nineteen,so yeah,not a habit for me either.🤭
What a coincidence! We have a lot of December birthdays too. My mom's is the 9th, my brother's is the 12th (he's less than a year younger than me), my daughter's is the 17th, and mine is the 20th. It's bonkers!
Hey Danni! I've been wanting a different t.v. console could you tell me where you found yours? It's perfect! Loved today's video yeppers it was great! You do your videos really good so don't compare yourself to other people's videos. Just do you that's what we all love. Your mother is so cute...loved her reaction when you told her she was being filmed. Gosh she's really gotten braver being filmed she's great!
I want ALL the pumpkin pie!! And I eat mine just like that! 🤭
OMG Danni you and your mom crack me up all the time. 😂 Glad to see I am not the only one trying to keep up in December 🙈. PS Mystery solved the problem is you just like the Taylor Swift song. You are creating the mess it’s all your stuff just like in my house.🙈🤪 Your videos are so much fun and relatable. ❤️
I saw you tryin' to get friskie with Ian, lol. That's how we married ladies do it😂! I also know that after Ian became sick, I think that life has a way of making us step back and assess how important the people in our lives really are to us. I recently had to have surgery. Usually, if I'm not home for a day or two, I'd bitch and gripe about the full sink of dishes or the mess my kids and husband made. This time, it was different. I think I was just so happy to be home that I actually didn't care. I knew that it would all get done eventually. I do wish however, that my real life, cleaning my house could be like your videos; whereas there is a beginning and at the end, it's all clean lol. I haven't seen to get there yet. But, I'm confident that one day it will (hopefully lol)😊❤🤶🧑🎄🎁🎄😘
Love your channel! Keep moving forward!!!
I de clutter everyday !! Anything I come across that I don't need or want goes in a box in my spare room, when it's full it all goes to a charity shop 😃💐
I love your videos. I love watching them while I'm at the gym on my bike ride.
As for the Instagram problem on your phone, you most likely need to clear your cache or uninstall Instagram and then reinstall. I hope this helps.
Have u thought about a covered clothing rack..to put in basement ...to swap out seasonal clothing?
Dani you could put on the Christmas tunes 🎄🎼
Danni, why don’t you prepare to-do lists during the summer, a script or order of tasks, gifts for December? 🤔 when there are so many events in one month, does it turn out to be some kind of impossible task? 🤯 and when you have a ready-made scenario with options: A, B, C, this could cancel the anxiety about the occurrence of these events. 🤓I think it’s easier to do everything quickly, as soon as the deadline has come. Every year when completing these tasks, you would add something there or change the order of actions. 🤔 Have you tried these lists?
do just 1 big birthday for everyone. you just need to let go of some things and simplify them
I also give off a vibe that messes with technology. I shut down credit card machines and cash registers. Burn out light bulbs when I am angry. I am a chaos magnet in general. But for sure with electronics. Humans are highly electrical.
All those December birthdays! People could have at least tried to be born in another month! 😄🙃😉
🤣🤣🤣 right! They could've at least tried LMBO 😆
Lol ! Not criticizing, but didn't you just clean your house and it was immaculate!! Wow!!😂 Just know I love watching you! I hope you put dryer by the road and put free someone Will take it!
Oh no your 100% correct it was spotless 🤣what really set the house off is when I started working in the basement LMBO everytime I do a big project I swear the house becomes a disaster, and most of it was my doing 😆I dont even want to imagine what the house would look like if I let it go for like a month 😮, I wouldnt ba eble to handle it lmbo....December is kicking my butt though lol Luv & appreciate ya so much friend, thanks for always being here with me! PS should I put it out to the curb or have it go to the scrap yard? Im definitely not DIYing it...seriously what was I thinking 🤣🤣...🥰
Try folding clothes Kon Mari style, Marie Kondo. You can see the t-shirts better that way. So proud of your minimal clothes.
@ timestamp 15:46 turn her onto playback speed X1.5, she’s amazing. I thought she was fun before but now I need to be her best friend. She talks back to herself, I do that lol
Momma said a bad word 😂
Have you thought about buying white book shelves for your wardrobe. You could fold your clothes onto them in piles like jumpers t-shirts etc
I LOVE this idea, I could put maybe 2 books shelves in there and see if that would work for the closet makeover, thats a brilliant idea. I've been trying to come up with a plan for that closet and one thats on a budget too and Ive been struggling with what to do with the closet. I love this! I wanted to see how much shelving would be to install in the closet and oh my gosh its so expensive, bookshelves would be a way better and more inexpensive option. And I like the idea of them being white bookshelves. I think that would look so nice in there! I have to do something because that closet is awful...well the whole bedroom is awful 😂Thank you for sharing this with me, and thank you so mcuh for watching & being here with me friend! xoxo
@@danniraearranged it might be a good idea to secure the bookshelves to the wall so they don't tip over. I love watching. Thankyou
You are so cute and fun. I can definitely relate to getting distracted, I do it all the time. Im supposed to sewing but find myself playing a video game, oh well. It gets done eventually. I do use the timer method and it works. ❤
Great video 😊❤️ you are so adorable
Haven't you decluttered a fork and a spoon before?
I think...if I remember correctly LOL that at one point in time I placed it in the maybe pile, I loved the fork and spoon but I felt like it didnt go with my style, so I than painted the fork and spoon black and that changed everything LOL
This is why I really love your videos, you're not perfect either 😂 I'm so sorry to break the news to you like that. I really love your bouncy videos because I do the same. I don't have a family helping me to clutter my apartment down (up? Don't know english well enough) but for some strange reason every time I have been cleaning and it looks great it just takes seconds to destroy it all.
Like when I do the dishes, I don't have a dishwasher, and everything is put away and my kitchen shines, then I have to eat, and then I don't clean my dishes right away, I'll do them later, I promise, but then there's a tv show or some youtube video I just have to watch and then I have to go to my mom and go shopping for some food and my niece is there and I have to be the best auntie for her so I help her with her craft projects since I'm auntie crafty, and when I go home late in the evening I just have to relax a little and then I have to do some craft projects and the dishes is just sitting there until the next day, and then I have a headache and just have to go lay down (I have a chronic severe headache desease) and then I just have to put on a load of laundry as I don't have something to wear, and...well that's just the dishes, I also can't keep the clutter away from any part of my apartment, it's a small apartment (I guess it's tiny in America) and really no storage as I don't have more than one closet, and it's in my craft room filled up with all my craft stuff, so my clothes is just in a wired rack with drawers and I try to keep it nice as I don't like to not have my clothes neat and tidy (OCD edition) I have ADHD and I guess it's just a bad excuse, but the brain of people with ADHD is different, and mine is lacking the ability to plan and organize and process, and I'm also easy to distract, like if someone on youtube talks about Marie Antoinette I just read about her, and then she would be living in a certain period and I read about that and then my phone rings and I forget about that I was reading and do something else, and then I remember but gets distracted and forget all about reading, but might see it the next day that I was reading. I need to start closing my tabs in my internet browser as it's probably 30 open tabs at once, and that's just like my brain, to many open tasks and my head crashes down 😂 I wish I could install more RAM and a bigger cache memory.
I think the idea with the dryer was brilliant, it's just like something I could do myself. I think your basement can be a nice looking place once you paint the floor, it's a great place even if it's not that nice at the moment. (The floor)
Loved your living room with your christmas decorations up, it looks so nice. I always try to make my christmas tree look like the American trees, but it doesn't look like it at all as our christmas trees just doesn't have that many branches to hang ornaments on, and we also don't use the same ornaments and such. On my tree I always have Norwegian flags, some people don't like the flags, but for me it represent remembering when Norway was occupied by the Germans during WWII and people couldn't use Norwegian flags, my grandmother told me this, she would have been 100 years today and my goal is always to be rady with my decorations except the tree for her birthday. I can't put up the tree as I have to get one and they don't start selling them before usually the 15th. I really love your house and how you decorate. I agree about the time going faster when you geg older, even though I'm just 47, but I think the year goes by so fast, when I was a kid it took so much time before it was christmas, now I think the christmas come just right after summer. 😅 I think you don't have to have any new year resuloutinons, just go with the flow and keep up the good work with your project on minimalism, you have made me think that I have to have less stuff to 😂 I have a lot, but I just keep decluttering more and more. I don't have lot of clothes, but I have so much things. For some reason people always give me mugs, and I try to get rid of mugs and when I don't have more than I like I get new mugs for christmas. I just want to have things I like, so I have to give them away, and I feel so unthankful for giving them away, but I probably grt new ones next year. 😅
