I had a stack of magazines that I've kept for YEARS! I finally decided to go through them and tear out the pages I really liked. I tore out 6 pages. Yes 6 pages out of 20 magazines. They went in the recycle bin and I set the pages aside for a few weeks. Just looked at them again and threw away 3 of them. Wow.
MOUSEMOM40 wow! I'm so glad I've read this. I've got a three feet high stack of a magazine I buy monthly. I really need to sort them. Thanks for inspiring me to do it. Xx
I hear ya! Lol. Keeping magazines for a few good pages, pics, articles, etc. is the bane of my existence. Good idea you had to tear out individual pages! Thanks. :)
I love your tips!! especially about finishing the job 100%! 😁 thanks for collabing with me and I hope y'all are able to shake that stomach bug all the way out of the house!
ClutterBug Hi, love your videos! i wanted to ask you if you have ever tried using essential oils? they are absolutely amazing at helping our bodies with that little extra it needs to keep things at bay or shortening symptoms. we love them! they have helped my family tremendously. if you would like to know more about them or have any questions feel free to email me at libraz8326@gmail.com and if you could lmk here you did lol, bc im horrible at checking my social media and email. And there's an amazing promo going on where you can earn 100pv of free oils! this is the best time to get them. i know if you started using them you'll be great full you did Have a great day
I LOVE you both!! :) So fun to see you do collabs! :) You both have inspired me greatly recently, and I just went through a MASSIVE purge of my hoarder status basement when we moved house. I posted a video about it on my channel!! :) I was really inspired by you girls and watched your videos the whole time to keep me moving!! :) Thank you thank you thank you both!!
my grandma always said at times like that, open every window at the same time for 5 min, let the house feel a chill, and kaboom, bugs virus are gone, just thought I share a little of my grandma's wisdom. ..lol...hay whata got to lose. ..lol..
Looking at my overflowing bins while watching this....😐😐😐”Tomorrow..Tomorrow.. I’ll declutter you Tomorrow”... that’s been playing in my head for weeks, but you have inspired me to actually get up and move!!
Love, love, love these tips! Especially the time capsule idea - which is what I need to do with some of the hubby's things :) Maybe then he'll realize he really doesn't use them! Thanks so much for a doing a collab with Meg - you are two of my very favorite TH-camrs, so this was such a treat!
So many things you said clicked with me. This January, I did what you taught me again & donated 7 things a day. 210 items left our house! We have strep in our house. It just won't go away. Grrrrr. Glad you're better. xo
I threw up nonstop with all my pregnancies and have years of barfing stories with my kids. One thing I learned is that it is horrible to throw up in a bucket in the car (for all the reasons you mentioned). Use a gallon Ziploc bag instead! You can zip it up after and no one has to smell it or spill it. Then you can just throw it in the trash in a sack. Bags are small enough to fit in purses, in glove boxes, and we even put them between our children's mattress and headboards in case they are going to barf in the night. Plus, less dirty dishes. Get rid of the bowls and use Ziplocs! It'll make things so much easier! :) I hope you all get better. Doing the rounds of sick kids (& parents) over and over is the worst!
when you talked about homeless clutter bins.. oh my I have so many! my problem is i don't unload them!! I'm sure most things can be given/ thrown away! I really need to take those 15 mins a day and just do it!! I have them in my closets, beside my bed, beside my dresser, in my cabinets, and more!! my goal this week now: undo the homeless bins!! great video and tips!!
I really really like your videos, first the tips and then the personal talk. I love how you can be open about your life. I am tired of those people who only share the good stuff of their life, it is like abnormal and it makes you feel incompetent... I love your energy, openness and enthusiasm.
I love your bubbly personality. I'm sorry you're having recent sickness going thru your home. I would recommend checking and deep cleaning your dishwasher and getting all new toothbrushes. I find that we deep clean our house when someone is sick but these two things get forgotten.
We've been battling sickness for about a month now too. I have 3 kids so we just keep passing it around. It was the stomach flu, then we all got a cold and now it's colds and puking and horrible sore throats. And my youngest who will be 2 next month has a double ear infection and pink eye in both eyes. I feel your pain! It's relentless!!!! Heres to happy healthy thoughts!!! and spring... where art thou???? I'm in New England, Just got a foot of snow with another foot predicted for this weekend..... waaaah 😭lol on the up side I have been organizing and purging! Love your videos!!!! 💕💖💕
My biggest struggle is not completing the cycle, too! Not just myself, but my husband & kids. At the end of the night I try to load the cups into the dishwasher that are sitting in the sink & dry the dishes that have been air drying. It's the last thing I want to do, but realized it makes such a huge difference between an almost clean kitchen & an actually clean kitchen. 😊 I hope you can beat that stomach bug. It has been bad here in the states, too! You need some of those surgery masks. Lol. My one son got it a few weeks ago & a few days later my preschool son was thrown up on by a classmate. My OB dr said hand washing was his best advice. Since antibacterial stuff won't kill the bug. I'm 31 weeks pregnant so I've been hand washing constantly. I'll take snot, but stomach bugs are evil!
I am already in love with your channel. And the fact that your a Mom makes you so much more relatable for me. I can't wait to make my way through more of your videos. As a clean freak in a huge house with a 3 and 5 year old I LOVE a clean house but don't love cleaning. There has to be more to life; and I'm hoping with your helpful tips I can get on top of things because all I seem to do is clean and yet I'm doing something wrong because somehow considering I never sit things still aren't as they should be! Thank you so much!
I have watched a lot of decluttering and minimizing videos, and I never comment, but you are so charismatic and encouraging! I found your video very engaging, even without tons of before and after shots. I really appreciated your enthusiasm. Subscribed! Great tips :D Thanks!!
OK so the compete the cycle advice has helped me decide to finish a lot of tasks and I learned about that from you! What I am saying is, I think of you sometimes when I clean.
So excited when I saw this collab! I have been a fan of Clutterbug for years, from the old channel! I recently subbed Love Meg's channel and got so excited when I saw you both together!! So inspired to declutter!!
the basket one has helped sooo very much. I go through my lower level in my house and get all the kids toys to take upstairs. loved the collaboration you guys did :)
Yes, complete the cycle! I'm here from Meg's channel and she said something similar one time.. "Finish the task," I think. I was so guilty of leaving things halfway done! It seriously makes a big difference!
Hi, Cas. Love your clutter-free home! My hot spots are many. Kitchen table, coffee table (where my decorating magazine live until it's time to recycle), office desk. Our night stands. As soon as dinner is over, I'm getting to it. Plus,we are moving in 5 months so it's time to decluttering/donate/dispose. Take care!
Great tips as usual! I'm a 90%er as well with just about everything except laundry, that is the only cycle I can complete! I've recognized this about me so this is without a doubt something I need to be conscious of.
Really enjoying your decluttering series! We decluttered our entire home last summer using the KonMari Method and the results have been incredible 😊 We've found the key to maintaining a clutter-free, organised home is to have daily cleaning routines and to complete every task (including tidying up after it's done). Love your videos - keep up the great work!
Hi Cas! Glad to hear you survived those soccer parents! So sorry to hear you had to drive home hurling....how awlful! 🤢 Just think, Disney is just a drive away and everyone including Milo will be healthy! I just pre-ordered your book on Amazon! Can't wait for it to be in my hands!!! Sending healing thoughts to the Aarssen family! Hugs, Linda
My kids school actually literally shut down for a day a couple years ago to have a cleaning crew come in lol. These stomach bugs were so consistent that it was crazy. Had my SK home today throwing up btw.. 😣Hope you're all over it! :)
Yikes!! I cannot believe you had to drive that far while throwing up...how awful - so glad you are better, but what timing is that? Ha - I was wondering how that trip went - I did pray for you!! You are so funny - glad the trip went well and Abby got to go!! Great tips. Yes, I am a total 90%er....with the dishes - I pride myself on not going to bed with "dirty dishes" in the sink, but those clean ones are there "drying" for me to put away next day - definitely going for the 100% now. Recently found Love Meg - she is adorable!! I could be her mother as I have a daughter her age, but that is totally fine...glad you collabbed - both are awesome youtubers!!
I'm a 90%er too! The bins of homeless things are the absolute worst for me. It seems inevitable that items make it into the bins, and I never find a place for them. Then, when people stop by, the bins get tucked away somewhere to be found many moons later. The best thing for me is to just force myself to put things away once or twice a day, because then there is no 90% for that item. It's either where it belongs, or it's not. I LOVE the rest of your tips though!
Love you so much!!! Thank you so much too! Glad you made it though the hockey tournament! I used to do those too and volleyball... now my kids are older...yeah!!
My husband and I are house hunting. We're in a rental right now so we can take our time in the house hunt. This is poor motivation for purging and packing! Haha, I'm normally a very organized and motivated person but ai think I was beginning to feel overwhelmed by purging things from our two kids. It's exhausting knowing that I have to keep a decent portion of it since our family isn't complete yet. Anyway, I just discovered your channel (and podcasts!) and I wanted to say THANK YOU!! I purged the front hall closet last night! Yippee!!
I love your channel! You are always so excited and happy! I'm sorry to hear how sick your family has been. I wonder if you have heard the suggestion of throwing away and replacing toothbrushes after sickness? It might help break the cycle!
A super helpful tip that has help me not get sick since I started going to school was adding a little bit of apple cider vinegar to the juice I carry I bought some to go apple cider vinegars and each capful will mix with the juice and you won't be able to taste it what I recommend is for every one cup put half a capful to start once you build your tolerance I would do a full capsule which is super tiny and usually you know how how much you can tolerate for instance if I buy a McDonald's sweet tea I put two capitals anything more than that then I can taste it and I won't drink it basically apple cider vinegar will kill the bacteria that is living inside your stomach so as soon as I come in contact with anyone who is sick or I am sick or I'm getting symptoms I start drinking it at instantly it helped me so much when I had the flu what I do is I buy big juices and I just pour it in there and give it to my husband and not let him know that it's in there because you know how family members are they don't want to drink anything that is going to help them be healthy so what I would do is I just sneak a little bit in there and not let them know that it in there and they will be happily drinking and and thing healthy I bought my to go apple cider vinegar at Walmart they come in a pack of four or 6 it was $5 and it's very convenient I keep one in my purse in my car and my school locker and the great thing is it helps with urinary tract infections and yeast infections which I get a lot helps prevent them and treat them and ever since then I haven't gotten any or when I do get one I just start drinking the apple cider vinegar with juices and it goes away seriously try it it's a lifesaver!
Cas, just a tip about the family illness that keeps going around. Do you have a dog by any chance? I have a friend whose kids kept getting strep over and over again, one after the other. Just on a hunch, she had the family dog swabbed, yep, the dog was positive!! The dog was treated and strep was gone, never to return! Just a thought, hope everyone is feeling better by now! I just ordered your book, can't wait, I REALLY need your help!! Keep up the great work, you're the best. I hope your book is a runaway best seller!
I love your tips especially the finish the cycle .... I am lazy too -I find that instead of thinking about it just do it ... like returning a call. Or text -I don't like bags ... I just end up making more ... I just put it away - when I come home before I change and start settling .. I find it best to put things away properly... once I start to relax i am going into lazy mode -areas that you are trying to figure that look messy or junky maybe a close friend or family can help as you said we start overlooking it
Oh you poor woman; the things we do as parents - driving while puking! I feel for you and the family. Fingers crossed this is the last round it goes through. Thanks for the great tips too. :)
My son was getting stuff from school repeatedly. I was telling my good friend who is a nurse, she told to start taking probiotics daily, especially the kids. Our illnesses diminished big time, maybe once that year.
I've been taking Probio5 and I don't remember the last time I had stomach flu. It's been years. Probiotics definitely help your overall immune system, increasing your chances of fighting off/avoiding viruses. I also, btw, haven't had a cold/flu since Dec 2016, though my son and hubby have had 5 or 6.
Love your personality! I know socializing is not your thing (Mine neither:)) but man what a blessing you could be to others if they got to know you personally. Keep up he great work!
So sorry you guys are still sick!!! that is aweful. someone in this house has been sick with something pretty much since Thanksgiving. we just finished a dose of antibiotics for strep... hoping to be done with it.
Loving your clutter tips and can't wait for your book to come in! As for the stomach bug issues, I've never had to try it myself (thank goodness and knock on wood) but I've heard drinking 100% Grape Juice will help minimize/get rid of/keep it at bay. I have a friend who swears by it with her kids.
Excellent!! I am finally down to only one room left to declutter... I am looking for ideas on how to store my extra seasonal flowers and vases - any su? Your tips are always so practical and inspiring! when you shared about decorating your bedroom - that changed my bedroom from clutter to beautiful! thank you for all your help!
As I was listening to you I emptied our dish drainer. Bad part is that I need to go hand wash some dishes that didn't fit in the dishwasher. Baby steps.
Re: Returning Flu I don't know how your AC/Heat system is set up but if there is a removable filter just change it for kicks, it may help with this returning flu bug. And, maybe do a short video recipe of homemade electrolite replacer, I imagine getting everyone boosted on those will help if/when it comes back around again. Take Care! Re: Tips Yes, the 100% complete vs. 90% definitely one of my issues! That and not enough storage for what we think we need to keep so almost all horizontal surfaces accumulate things. It's gotten so bad, my daughter decided her bedroom floor and her loveseat are permanent storage spaces. Maybe that's a video idea: Teen bedrooms?
Love the complete the cycle tip! It's totally my nemesis. Have you guys tried activated charcoal for the stomach bug? My son caught it, and so I had everyone on charcoal right away (I mixed a tiny amount into applesauce so they couldn't taste it). Luckily we didn't catch it because we have a newborn and we'd already made it through strep without catching it. Hope you're all better soon! Glad you made it home safely!
Loved these tips! I need to be good about getting rid of my clutter when I have decided it is clutter. Hopefully I can get better about this even though I do not drive. :)
Thank u for these tips I was decluttering today I have whole bunch of papers lying around not sure y I kept them so I filled two small store bags full of trash it felt good these tips help me :) to clean
Great tips! I am bad about the completeing the cycle thing on some projects :( Seems like I always need something I don’t have on hand & by the time I can get it i have lost interest or something more pressing comes up…..I am working on it though!! Glad your trip was fun (except the puking, of course) :)
Great tips, love your channel. My 8 year old daughter noticed your pupils (when you look directly at camera) resemble robot eyes. You have a beautiful eye color BTW, your lighting seems to reflect very well with that color, lol.
the empty bin tip I use at the top and bottom of my stairs for those random things that don't belong on that floor. then when you go up stairs, take the basket, vice versa
Your "rants" at the end of your videos are my favorite! Haha. I also love your tips! They really do help in keeping a clean/decluttered home.
I had a stack of magazines that I've kept for YEARS! I finally decided to go through them and tear out the pages I really liked. I tore out 6 pages. Yes 6 pages out of 20 magazines. They went in the recycle bin and I set the pages aside for a few weeks. Just looked at them again and threw away 3 of them. Wow.
MOUSEMOM40, same. Big pile of magazines in a basket dated from years back. It looks so much better now that there is only a few current ones.
MOUSEMOM40 wow! I'm so glad I've read this. I've got a three feet high stack of a magazine I buy monthly. I really need to sort them. Thanks for inspiring me to do it. Xx
I hear ya! Lol. Keeping magazines for a few good pages, pics, articles, etc. is the bane of my existence. Good idea
you had to tear out individual pages! Thanks. :)
I think that's the best advice... Finish a project to the end. Makes a HUGE HUGE difference. Cas, you're the best!
I love your tips!! especially about finishing the job 100%! 😁 thanks for collabing with me and I hope y'all are able to shake that stomach bug all the way out of the house!
Love Meg My two favorite TH-camrs😃
Thank Meg! Today my poor husband got it! I really love your channel and I am so happy that we got to collab
Love Meg my absolute two favorite youtubers so excited when I saw this!
ClutterBug Hi, love your videos! i wanted to ask you if you have ever tried using essential oils? they are absolutely amazing at helping our bodies with that little extra it needs to keep things at bay or shortening symptoms. we love them! they have helped my family tremendously. if you would like to know more about them or have any questions feel free to email me at libraz8326@gmail.com and if you could lmk here you did lol, bc im horrible at checking my social media and email.

I LOVE you both!! :) So fun to see you do collabs! :) You both have inspired me greatly recently, and I just went through a MASSIVE purge of my hoarder status basement when we moved house.

"Complete the cycle!" is my new LIFE motto!! Thanks Cas 🙌💗
I've watched a lot of decluttering vids but yours are the best as they are clear, structured, short and chirpy. Thank you.
Snap! My 6th Habit for a Highly Organized Household is - Do it till it's DONE 🙌🏼 love Peter Walsh but haven't read his books yet...will have to now!!
:)
Looking at my overflowing bins while watching this....😐😐😐”Tomorrow..Tomorrow.. I’ll declutter you Tomorrow”... that’s been playing in my head for weeks, but you have inspired me to actually get up and move!!
Love, love, love these tips! Especially the time capsule idea - which is what I need to do with some of the hubby's things :) Maybe then he'll realize he really doesn't use them!
Thanks so much for a doing a collab with Meg - you are two of my very favorite TH-camrs, so this was such a treat!
I love your "complete the cycle" tip. I will be implementing this as much as possible. Thanks for sharing. Love your vids and personality.
So many things you said clicked with me. This January, I did what you taught me again & donated 7 things a day. 210 items left our house!
We have strep in our house. It just won't go away. Grrrrr. Glad you're better. xo

That is so smart! I hope I never have to use this tip
Great idea!
Complete the cycle... i love it! I think you are the number one clutter expert.
Love the clutter critique. Made a list, started and huge improvement and motivation already. You are right, we stop seeing them.
yep, I read it too, "Almost done is not done".So true !
when you talked about homeless clutter bins.. oh my I have so many! my problem is i don't unload them!! I'm sure most things can be given/ thrown away! I really need to take those 15 mins a day and just do it!!

I feel your pain! We've just had the sickness bug go round. It's been horrendous but we're through the worst. Hope you're all on the mend soon!
omg the critique is a great tip and scary too! The iffy box, yes!! oh you poor thing, no more nasty bugs...
These are all great tips! Especially the clutter hotspots. I swear my dining room table has to be cleaned almost daily!
kitchen table is my magnet. And kitchen counter!!!
I am already in love with your channel.

It's not all clutter free! My craft/mud room is a disaster 99% of the time
Love the clutter hot spot tip!
I'll be using these tips definitely 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 thanks beautiful
Great tips as usual! I'm a 90%er as well with just about everything except laundry, that is the only cycle I can complete! I've recognized this about me so this is without a doubt something I need to be conscious of.

Yesssss! Complete the cycle!
Love both yours and Meg's channels! I LOVE how organized you are. Every single video is inspiring! 😊
My kids school actually literally shut down for a day a couple years ago to have a cleaning crew come in lol. These stomach bugs were so consistent that it was crazy. Had my SK home today throwing up btw.. 😣Hope you're all over it! :)
This was so motivational...but I'm sooo tired 🙈 the struggle!😜
I feel you there I am too

Congrats on making it through the hokey weekend!!!
Thank you!!!

My husband and I are house hunting. We're in a rental right now so we can take our time in the house hunt. This is poor motivation for purging and packing!

You are so welcome...THANK YOU for watching and listening!
I love the 'complete the cycle' tip. So glad you survived hockey x
Thank you so much! It's amazing to me that you always have a new tip every time I watch your videos.
Great tips! I'm a 90%er too. Thanks for the advice, I'll put it to good use.
Spied a Lulu Lemon store recently and thought of you! You just make me smile. 🙂
Thanks! I have no idea if we have a lulu store near me. I need to get out more!
Your videos inspire me to declutter more. I liked your video of taking so many items from each room to declutter. love your channel!
I love your channel! You are always so excited and happy! I'm sorry to hear how sick your family has been. I wonder if you have heard the suggestion of throwing away and replacing toothbrushes after sickness? It might help break the cycle!
You are wonderful. Tfs as always. Stomach flu seems to be brutal this season.
You are so adorable! Love the tips so much! I'm reorganizing my kitchen today, so this will be great! TFS
And y'all need to get well soon! Big hugs!
I love your enthusiasm!

A super helpful tip that has help me not get sick since I started going to school was adding a little bit of apple cider vinegar to the juice I carry I bought some to go apple cider vinegars and each capful will mix with the juice and you won't be able to taste it what I recommend is for every one cup put half a capful to start once you build your tolerance I would do a full capsule which is super tiny and usually you know how how much you can tolerate for instance if I buy a McDonald's sweet tea I put two capitals anything more than that then I can taste it and I won't drink it basically apple cider vinegar will kill the bacteria that is living inside your stomach so as soon as I come in contact with anyone who is sick or I am sick or I'm getting symptoms I start drinking it at instantly it helped me so much when I had the flu what I do is I buy big juices and I just pour it in there and give it to my husband and not let him know that it's in there because you know how family members are they don't want to drink anything that is going to help them be healthy so what I would do is I just sneak a little bit in there and not let them know that it in there and they will be happily drinking and and thing healthy I bought my to go apple cider vinegar at Walmart they come in a pack of four or 6 it was $5 and it's very convenient I keep one in my purse in my car and my school locker and the great thing is it helps with urinary tract infections and yeast infections which I get a lot helps prevent them and treat them and ever since then I haven't gotten any or when I do get one I just start drinking the apple cider vinegar with juices and it goes away seriously try it it's a lifesaver!
Cas, just a tip about the family illness that keeps going around. Do you have a dog by any chance? I have a friend whose kids kept getting strep over and over again, one after the other. Just on a hunch, she had the family dog swabbed, yep, the dog was positive!! The dog was treated and strep was gone, never to return! Just a thought, hope everyone is feeling better by now! I just ordered your book, can't wait, I REALLY need your help!! Keep up the great work, you're the best. I hope your book is a runaway best seller!
I love your tips especially the finish the cycle ....
I am lazy too
-I find that instead of thinking about it just do it ... like returning a call. Or text
-I don't like bags ... I just end up making more ... I just put it away
- when I come home before I change and start settling .. I find it best to put things away properly... once I start to relax i am going into lazy mode
-areas that you are trying to figure that look messy or junky maybe a close friend or family can help as you said we start overlooking it
Oh you poor woman; the things we do as parents - driving while puking! I feel for you and the family. Fingers crossed this is the last round it goes through. Thanks for the great tips too. :)
I am terrible at finishing the "cycle". Trying to get better though! Awesome tips!
I love the complete the cycle. I'm am going to try and enforce this!
My son was getting stuff from school repeatedly. I was telling my good friend who is a nurse, she told to start taking probiotics daily, especially the kids. Our illnesses diminished big time, maybe once that year.
I've been taking Probio5 and I don't remember the last time I had stomach flu. It's been years. Probiotics definitely help your overall immune system, increasing your chances of fighting off/avoiding viruses. I also, btw, haven't had a cold/flu since Dec 2016, though my son and hubby have had 5 or 6.
Love your personality! I know socializing is not your thing (Mine neither:)) but man what a blessing you could be to others if they got to know you personally. Keep up he great work!
Rewatching this video after all this time! I needed to get my declutter on again!
So sorry you guys are still sick!!! that is aweful. someone in this house has been sick with something pretty much since Thanksgiving. we just finished a dose of antibiotics for strep... hoping to be done with it.
great tips, and BTW thanks for the planner printables
Love you videos! You make me laugh and I love the family stories. Thank you for making my day brighter! 😁
Loving your clutter tips and can't wait for your book to come in!
As for the stomach bug issues, I've never had to try it myself (thank goodness and knock on wood) but I've heard drinking 100% Grape Juice will help minimize/get rid of/keep it at bay. I have a friend who swears by it with her kids.
Thanks for introducing me to Love Meg!!
Excellent!! I am finally down to only one room left to declutter... I am looking for ideas on how to store my extra seasonal flowers and vases - any su? Your tips are always so practical and inspiring! when you shared about decorating your bedroom - that changed my bedroom from clutter to beautiful! thank you for all your help!
any suggestions LOL?
That's Great -only one room left! I'm just starting out. Thanks for the possible possibility of living a clutter free home!
As I was listening to you I emptied our dish drainer. Bad part is that I need to go hand wash some dishes that didn't fit in the dishwasher. Baby steps.
Nothing like being sick to make you appreciate how good it feels to feel well 😂👍🏻❤️
Thank you for this. =)
I really need to get that book. "It's all Too Much", Peter Walsh. It's been on my wish list for a very long time.
Such a great book!
Re: Returning Flu
I don't know how your AC/Heat system is set up but if there is a removable filter just change it for kicks, it may help with this returning flu bug. And, maybe do a short video recipe of homemade electrolite replacer, I imagine getting everyone boosted on those will help if/when it comes back around again. Take Care!
Re: Tips
Yes, the 100% complete vs. 90% definitely one of my issues! That and not enough storage for what we think we need to keep so almost all horizontal surfaces accumulate things. It's gotten so bad, my daughter decided her bedroom floor and her loveseat are permanent storage spaces. Maybe that's a video idea: Teen bedrooms?
you are awesome, I love your goofy personality, my favorite is the rant at the end, it brings me back to the malatose days.
You have been around sooo long! Thanks
ClutterBug lol,me too!
Love the complete the cycle tip! It's totally my nemesis.
Have you guys tried activated charcoal for the stomach bug? My son caught it, and so I had everyone on charcoal right away (I mixed a tiny amount into applesauce so they couldn't taste it). Luckily we didn't catch it because we have a newborn and we'd already made it through strep without catching it. Hope you're all better soon! Glad you made it home safely!
I love staying until the end, your life reminds me of mine & I like that I'm not the only one 😀
Loved these tips! I need to be good about getting rid of my clutter when I have decided it is clutter. Hopefully I can get better about this even though I do not drive. :)
Oh no, hope you all get well...spring is right around the corner so you all will be able to get outside more and breathe some fresh air!
Thank u for these tips I was decluttering today I have whole bunch of papers lying around not sure y I kept them so I filled two small store bags full of trash it felt good these tips help me :) to clean
Awesome!!
Great tips! I am bad about the completeing the cycle thing on some projects :( Seems like I always need something I don’t have on hand & by the time I can get it i have lost interest or something more pressing comes up…..I am working on it though!! Glad your trip was fun (except the puking, of course) :)
Omg, "Never Ending Barfing"! 😝
So sorry you can't escape this bug! Hoping this will be the final round for you all! Enjoyed your vid!
Great tips, love your channel. My 8 year old daughter noticed your pupils (when you look directly at camera) resemble robot eyes. You have a beautiful eye color BTW, your lighting seems to reflect very well with that color, lol.
Yeah, it is a "ring light". It makes me look crazy! lol
Great tips, I love the idea of putting a sign DO NOT OPEN. Thanks.
Great tips. I love your videos, so relatable.
the empty bin tip I use at the top and bottom of my stairs for those random things that don't belong on that floor. then when you go up stairs, take the basket, vice versa
