“My brain feels like you dumped out a junk drawer onto a trampoline” um, so I feel seen. 👀😩😂
Yes Angie, I talked to my 11 & 14 year old about the party boat with seniors and daring the boy to jump in. This generation is fearless and will do anything for notoriety and to go viral ! That poor boy was killed and the guilt of the kids that dared him. Sadly this is a good thing to talk to our kiddos about. Good friends don’t dare, they look out for eachother. ❤ Thanks for being your authentic self ❤
I saw that video of the teen jumping off the party boat on tiktok its viral teens This generation are stupid they do anything their friends tell them to do I saw his "friends" standing their recording him when he jumped in the water and a shark was coming to the boy his "friends" was yelling at him saying" grab the life bouy" then the shark came towards the boy grabbed his leg and pulled him under the water
Everyone talks about executive dysfunction but no one shows it. Thanks for this Angie. I loathe myself so much for knowing better and not doing better. Its a uncomfortable niceness to see it on someone i look upto. Adhd, super power and nemisis amirite? Thanks again.
I just love how real you are.. you are such a blessing here on youtube and I can totally related to all you have said.
I dont comprehend how in the world you make time to redo rooms. 😆🤣😂 i totally get it- your need to accommodate growth & trial/error- but dang!! Too many of us take 10yrs to get around to it. Thanks for the inspiration! (I think) 😂❤️
I’m a Type A that listened to the whole video while I cleaned bathrooms! Even though I don’t struggle with ADHD, some of my family members do. It always helps to try to understand what goes on on their brain!
People who are judging you probably don’t have 8 kiddos and animals to care for. As a naturally organized person, there’s no way I could do what you have to do in a day and stay on top of everything. You are doing great!
As an adult with adhd, I so related to everything you said in this video. I’ve been making a conscious effort recently to do better with my piling tendencies, it’s definitely something I have to keep reminding myself to be mindful of.
Angie, I am a victim of the piles that become overwhelming. Right now it is in my home office, and now I am embarrassed to have anyone see the mess❗️I needed to hear the “stop the excuses and get this place cleaned up” talk💕
I feel your pain. I have piles that I need to organize, but I get overwhelmed and then don't do anything. My mom makes it worse by the comments she makes about it. That just makes my blood boil because my other problem is that I suffer from depression and it's hard to get up and do anything when you don't want to live.
Having extra space for storage is both a blessing and a curse. I think to some extent we have all experienced the effects of shorter attention spans and lack of focus even if it may not be to thr level of diagnosed add or adhd.
YES! An empty room is so refreshing. I find it motivating to get rid of things too if I start with a clean, empty space. 👏🏼
Dry erase marker over permanent marker or non dry erase is supposed to reactivate the non dry erase marker and remove them.
Well done Angie! 👏 Thanks for the encouragement to acknowledge our struggles, but not to “stay there” Always a work in progress❤️❤️
I think way more people than you think can relate to this video 1000%!!!
Authenticity looks beautiful on you! I appreciate you 🙏🏼 This video was very relatable! I always enjoy a visit with Angie 💖 You shared some very helpful perspectives and uplifting thoughts!
Yes! The piles are like organized chaos! You know what the pile contains but it can still get very overwhelming! I was recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and so many things about myself and my childhood self make so much more sense now!
So true!
@Suckit Now 1. What does this comment have to do with mine? 2. What does this comment have to do with the topic she's discussing? 3. You realize that she only shares teeny little clips and snippets, so there is zero way of knowing anything. You're making assumptions based on little to nothing to support said assumptions. Maybe you should worry about your own life if you have nothing positive to contribute to another's.
@@user-qk8ki1rs3k and you get this opinion how? By watching a short video about her struggle with organizing and how she does it. She rarely shows the kids which I think is great. Move along!
I relate COMPLETELY and love how vulnerable you got! Thank you🤗
This is so me too. Thank you for encouraging me to tackle my piles.
I needed this and I am in the process of doing the 21 things a day declutter. I am not able to do it everyday, but every little bit helps! So appreciative of your honesty! ❤
Girl, I can so relate to you. But you’re right it’s not something that I want to just except and be comfortable with. I want to work on being better because at the end of our day that’s what our family and even ourselves deserve. Thank you for always being so real, raw and honest.❤❤❤
Angie! You just blew my mind by taking it all out and starting fresh. I try to tackle my piles doing the tetras shuffle with SO MANY distractions. I LOVE this empty and refresh method.
I always tell my Husband that we need to move, new house and its just now that I realise I feel this way because I enjoy the restart. I'm completely blown away I cant even think straight.
Thank you ❤
This video came on the perfect day, with the perfect content. Thanks for being the real you, that you are!! ❤
The realness is what many of us relate to and appreciate most. Life is a challenging, chaotic, messy struggle, but what joy there is in the beauty we also experience and get to help create, the fellowship we find, the laughter in the inperfection, the ideas and inspirations we get to share. It's all the great adventure and journey. So much to experience, do, and learn, as we rely on God to help us with the assignments He has given to us.😊❤
Yesssss thank you for being real!!!! I loved seeing the cabin look like real life happened! And then the clean up is so satisfying!
Yes it is so hard to over come. However, I have started to take care of things. I appreciate you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! To be honest, I sometimes scroll past your videos because you just always seem to have it all together and at times I feel Ike I just can’t handle watching your “all-togetherness” in the middle of all my mess. This made me feel better about my current attempts to climb out of my personal piles. ❤
I totally get all the piles! I have an entire house of them. Love the idea of emptying the room 1st. I may use that idea as I clear my piles. Thanks for showing your truth. I'm sure you are proud of yourself and the progress you made! 😊
I couldn’t love you more ❤ thank you for always being “real” I don’t know how you do what you do.
You are awsome! I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I loove how honest and real you are! I don’t have any friends, close true friend, that are not like you! I have a huge pile of all kind of things that I can’t declutter that needs my husbands’ help to deal with. I can see much of myself in you and I am just in the sofa, not wanting to do anything for the second day in a row… I also make piles everywhere and as we moved from our big house of over 30 years into a small apartment without enough closets and space for our necessary things it is overwhelming. We do have a small house as well but space is precious and to buy more cupboards, cabinets etc. is taking for ever to do and is expensive. Phu! You inspire 🥰
Angela, you gave me words to describe how I feel most days. Thank you for that and for sharing your journey. I watch your videos every time they come out, and I know you’ve spoken about adult adh before but today the words hit like a ton of bricks.
The imagery of the contents of my brain being dumped on a trampoline hit me. Literally stopped me in my tracks.
I too find it easier to empty my room and start all over again, much to family’s dismay.
Thank you again for just being you and for sharing your experience with us.
I love M.R. This helped me today and I actually got some things organized/put away while watching. Thanks! From a mom of two (one with special needs).
Hey flossy🤗 hope you’re doing well love. Don’t let it bother you about the mess, it will get done. I take one room at the time, keeps me from bouncing back and forth. Life can knock the breath out of you & we get so overwhelmed; I try & remember to be like that beautiful beach grass, to bend but not break. You do a great job, love seeing you. Sending love & prayers🙏💜🤩
Thank you Angie, I need this now. I think most of us moms feel like this.
Good job on working on getting it in order. We know what to do but some times we do have so much on our plates.
Thank you for addressing these issues I’m with you. My ADHD brain is so scrambled when decluttering or even cleaning xx
I’m not sure why this isn’t wide-spread but to get permanent marker off a glossy surface, just go over it with normal board marker- wipes off easy. 😊
I ALWAYS LOVE your videos, when I was a working mom outside,the home I was always stressed not being able to maintain any sense of order in my home. As I look back on those days as a single mom of 2 (daughter and son), it was hard but at the same time I included my children in my chaos and we ended up most of the time having fun. Now at 72, I miss those days with my children. Keep making these videos they make me happy❤❤❤❤❤
FYI: if you have permanent marker (or marker that's been on a whiteboard for a longgggg time), just scribble over it with a whiteboard marker and it'll wipe off easy-peasy!
I can 100% relate to it ALL. Love your honesty and your content!
I just came to the same realization! We moved and (military) were at our weight limit. Moving again sometime next year but we have finished our gym so I absolutely have to downsize. The only way I can is as you said. Pull EVERYTHING out and then intentionally keep/organize thanks for making me feel seen in that!
Hahaha I think we all do the “organised piles”! I’ve been working with baskets and Magazine holders to try to actually organise and store a bit more visually friendly, but regular purges are necessary! 😅
I put this video on while I was making a meatloaf for dinner- I definitely cried, we can blame the onion. 🤣 But, I appreciate you so much for being vulnerable and honest. I needed to hear it.
Great video! Very encouraging and inspirational!
We took a whole bunch of books to our local library! They will take all you want to donate!
I related so much to this. I emptied my entire craft room out it had become pile central and was unusable room that’s to adhd it took me 3 days but I managed to get it done. I was so proud of myself I’ve been putting off doing it for over 7 months. Now I can craft which I love doing again. Thank you
This is so me. Thank you ❤❤❤
Seriously have been stuck in the funk recently. This video was very helpful and appreciative ❤️💕
Wisdom 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 even though I don’t struggle with the add/adhd brain the words reached other areas of struggle!
Yes, full on understand! My bedroom was a disaster. Getting it better. :-)
RELATE! I have areas in control, and others, not so much!
I needed this video today as I look at my cluster of a kitchen 😊
❤😊
Very entertaining Angela. 😂😂There's almost always a reason to laugh. I get what you're saying.
I diagnose and undiagnosed myself according to my repeated actions, and what I've achieved after learning some things. I'm really thinking of not procrastinating about things I really want to get done; for example, decluttering one corner of a particular room, and starting a particular project(there's always an excuse). I'm starting to do well with small To Do lists. When I am motivated, I will declutter like a good going-out-of-business sale.😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing.💖💖
I have adult adhd. It has gotten really bad over the last 5 years. Everything you said I can relate to. I'm learning how to overcome it.
How?? Bc mines gotten super bad in the past 2
@@sofiadelcielo herbal supplements. And learning to see when I'm having " Squirrel" moments. Like if I start avoiding something I know I need to start dealing with it. Like Angie dealing with piles. I have them too. But I will avoid looking at it when it gets to much. So I set a timer and deal with it. Usually when the timer is up I still keep going. 🙃 I'm still learning to deal.
@@laylaenscoe521 thank you so much! I relate to the something feeling like "too much" wayyy too often so your perspective helps. Thank you!
Yes!!! The piles….I can completely relate.
Thank you so much for sharing this!! This is soooo me lol. My husband is Type A and doesn't understand why I make piles everywhere, and it gets to the point I feel overwhelmed when I try to go through stuff to get rid of it. BUT I'm at the point in life (you and I are almost the EXACT same age) I just want it gone, so this past week I've been tackling my homeschool room and office as well (and I also move everything out of the room first!). Hoping to finish today. Oh, and I also have a daughter named Ivy 😊
Nice! Love this. Helps me for sure!
I like that you keep it real.
Thats me too Angie and the procrastination is anxiety for me. I feel like my brain gets like a computer defrag and its even worse when people change my schedule or tasks. I like to hire a go- fer bc if I leave a room or area and give up! Ive gotten better at focusing and when I start saying oh squirrel I just stop for a bit.
I remember one time on IG when I first followed you, I made a comment about how you are always so put together, especially your hair. You basically responded back don't believe what you see.🤣😅
I’m laughing because as you’re saying, “the piles”, I am the one saying “that’s so me” lol
I Love you Angie - you are such fun and a Blessing ! Love your Honesty -
We’re just alike -
Thank you!
I’ve watched since you brought sweet Rosie home. Your family is amazing and beautiful. Angie, it’s like you were reading my mind. I always wondered how you could always have the perfectly coiffed hair with no roots. Flawless makeup and a chic outfit. I wondered if this was everyday Angie or “on” Angie. I’ve found myself and friends really having a hard time not to compare or judge ourselves of how others are presenting themselves. I really enjoy the raw footage more. Not staged, not perfect. Thank you.
Oh my goodness 🤣🤣🤣. I watch her too! When you said piles I died😂. She speaks to me in every little skit. The one where someone calls the helpline bc they lost their phone 😂😂😂. She ask all the places that they’ve looked like the fridge and then says “Cloud you be on your phone right now?” Bahahahahaha. That’s me !!!!!
Omg the video is basically just starting and already I’m thinking I AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU SISTER. I see you and I feel you. And talk about getting distracted. YES YES AND MORE YES. We joke about “the shiny thing” we saw and stopped up right in our tracks. Ahhh ADHD.
A follow you for 6 years and I didn’t know you have ADHA. We are in the process os diagnose my daughter and my husband.
Life a chaotic mess so this video was like a warm hug of non judgment x
My stress comes from thinking about the projects…. Once I start them I’m usually fine!
Me too!
I’m in Australia so had no idea about the cruise ship dude but totally had to leave the video and check it out 🤪 so what does that make me 🤪😂
Gosh I love your brain and crazy fun 🤪😂❤️🇦🇺
You should try doing powder dip nails! They are the best for me! I do mine and they stay 2-3weeks!🎉
This is exactly how my brain functions, thank you for sharing your method and your beautiful heart!
The piles you mentioned at the beginning of the video. I am familiar! I call it organized chaos. It’s a hot mess, but I know where stuff is. 😁😁❤️
Hilarious! 😂 You’re very entertaining! Love your bark!! 🐩🦴🐾
Welldone we all have our setbacks, just a pity u didnt show us the endresult. By the way I also struggle to get organised when things got out of hand, sure there is a lot of us out there. True it stresses me out and takes a lot of time moving stuff from one place to another instead of organising and getting rid of stuff. God bless u and your beautiful family, not easy to juggle everything as a mom I know
Scribble dry erase over the permit marker. Then wipe it off. Easy peasy!!
Tomfoolery, Shenanigans and Antics would be great animal names.
That is so funny! I empty a room too and then put it back together. Hey, there must be something to that! There is a bit of chaos to organize the removed items in places where they ultimately don't belong, but it's a way to prioritize that just doesn't happen otherwise. For example, I'm donating books, washing walls and updating closets in the master bedroom. No books no tv go back in :) Peace.
I appreciate your honesty. I am a pile maker but,a few weeks back, also took off my blinders and started working on clearing some piles.
I feel so much better now…like i can breathe. Why do i let it get to a point where i feel stifled and overwhelmed? I do not understand…😕
You’ve given me inspiration to tackle my office/school room/extended pantry/junk room… your room is tame compared to mine. Trust me… scary lol
On a side note I love your nail polish 😊
Omg!!! I don’t think I am adhd or add but I have wondered on some level. My husband is so I am learning on how to be patience with him. When you said you were going to take everything out of the space - I got excited because I was thinking about doing this in one of my rooms because I’m downing in stuff. It’s my own fault but we have to move in the spring and we have six young kids so I feel like I am never going to get ahead. This is actually a strategy from a book my husband read and suggested years ago titled “the joy of less” by Francine Jay.
Love that fireplace room
Love the video, I’m curious about the building itself. Was your Cabin a pre-fab shed type thing or was it built from scratch? The dimensions seem perfect for a project I would like to do. If you don’t mind what are the dimensions of your cabin?
Oh girl! There are 2 methods of cleaning/organizing. The Mount Vernon or the Mount Vesuvius method. Mount Vernon goes clock wise around a room, cleaning, dusting and tidying. Mt. Vesuvius takes everything out of the room and only moves back in what matters. I am so much a Mt. Vesuvius kind of organizer. Spent almost 20 years as a Navy wife, packing up and leaving anything we didn't need or love every 2 years. Imagine my shock when I've spent the past 22 years in once house?? One place! Disaster. Still teaching for help and others to help me manage is disaster. One room at a time in my youth was the way. Breath and please care and love my friend in your mirror??
I’ve adopted the mentality that the more then what I need is a waste. A waste of money, a waste time and a waste of space. Give me simple and less to take care of.
I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 56. It explains a lot. I will never overcome my ADHD and I know this as a teacher. What I'm working on are strategies to live my best life. It is hard work. I have good days and bad days of paralysis. It is a process, and what works for one may not work for others. One step at a time.
What book are you reading that you mentioned at the beginning of the video? I love your book recommendations!
Oh my, I have definitely been challenges by piles ( not hemorrhoids ha ha), and being frozen by them!. I am slowly working through them and either organizing or dumping the items.
I also have rabbit trails where my conversation suddenly goes off in a different direction! I am 53 yo and still battle this, but I also give myself grace. I should also mention I am a bit of a fabric hoarder and I cannot get rid of that. I may need that fabric to complete one of the dozens of quilts I am planning to make 😂😂.
I am currently looking for my printer paper and it isn't where my brain says it should be. I probably felt guiltily industrious one day and actually put it in some drawer somewhere instead of where my brain wants it.
In honesty, if I can't see some things, I completely forget about them.
I adore you Angela ❤
Angie, you already are the lady surrounded by your menagerie of animals and books! 🤣🥰
Yes, I am a “pile creator” myself, I didn’t realize that it was a thing, I thought that everyone was doing piles. Also: bags full of piles, and I close the bag to avoid dust on my pile, but then, I don’t remember what is in the bag. Hopefully, I will conquer this way of doing because I love recycling, giving away, donating and throwing away when there is no hope anymore for the thing. Basically, I love decluttering but I always complain that I don’t have enough time for doing it, even though I love doing it.
Angie, you left me hanging about the title of the book that you were going through!! And, uh…You are not alone at all in this. Don’t all homeschool moms have an infinity for books. We moved into our house last year. You can’t pack books in large boxes because there too heavy. I think there were 50+ boxes of HS books & all my other books. I get it all Angie! What’s the name of the book that you referred to. Lots of love Girly!
to get permanent marker off white board: scribble over the marker with a whiteboard marker - rub off with a rag. Repeat until it's gone.
(Nobody unsubscribed!) Why should we? You are very entertaining!!! Love you 💜💜
I like you mess 😂 haha, it looks like my house right now. We had a B day party this weekend for my twins and everything is clutered, toys, gifts, baloons and also dirty (kids on sugar with food in their hands)😅 and my kitchen, oh my oh my, lots of boxes, plastic containers with snacks, dirty dishes... It is monday morning, I am drinking coffee, watching videos and I am planning our day-meals, nap time, time to clean all this bday mess, oh and I need few things from supermarket...) Angie, I loooove you videos, ❤ from another momma in a messy home 😊
Um, two and half minutes in and I'm feeling so known right now. Me: looking around my office at the piles . . .
Best trick for permanent markes on whiteboard is to overdraw with whiteboard marker and you can basically wipe it all of like normal. Trick I learned at the School I work at.
Peeking out between my piles to wink and wave hello!
Yay for realness! :) 🤗
I am type A but enjoy your videos. :) Also, are the DIY gel nails holding up longer than regular polish?
