@tammyc1812 @sarahko2014 So do I! And I find myself ending a sentence with, "Right?" Lol, she's changed my life, too. I find myself looking at inventory like she does even without realizing it. Stay humble, Dawn! Even though you have groupies! 😂 Lol. You really are a Godsend though. God bless you.

You ARE winning, Dawn! I am so happy to have found your channel this past year. I am turning 70 next month.... oh how I wish I had known this all my life. I have felt the need to "simplify" for years. I didn't know how till God directed me your way! Such freedom!!

Dawn!!! I loved when you said you are "kind of a boring, not cool person." No way! You know so much about so many things. You make easy meals. You are great at thrifting. You persevered through FPU twice. You are so creative, and you know how to visualize. All the home remodel/decorating you do astounds me. When you and your husband tackle projects together, I am just amazed. I know NOTHING about these things. Your personality and the gentle way you encourage us to declutter wins you absolute coolest person in RU-vid!

@sarahko2014 9 месяцев назад

I think she's pretty cool, and I'm her peer at 42 yrs. old. But what actually makes her cool is that she's relatable, confidently humble, and a down-to-earth Midwesterner~👍🌻

As long as you are keeping your hair colored, keep using black eyeliner. When you decide to go grey or when your hair turns white, that's when you lighten your eyeliners. It's a general rule. You are only lining top, so no issues

To the person asking about sharpening knives: turn over a ceramic cup/saucer/plate and hold the UNglazed bottom under water so that it gets wet. You may now use the wet unglazed rim at the bottom as a sharpening stone.

@joannaizabelabienias 8 месяцев назад

@pattyburkhart3270 9 месяцев назад

When my only child, my son was 30, we went through the things I saved. Since he was adopted, I saved everything! Poor guy. We spent quite a while going through the containers and downsized to one container. It was all my memories and not his. Even his teeth! LOL. He thought that was gross.

@tarski7420 9 месяцев назад

For those who asked where to start with clutter when overwhelmed,…you have amazing advice once that really helped me. To choose one room, one surface, or even one drawer to declutter and dedicate yourself to keep that one spot tidy for one full month. I did this with our bathroom, being the smallest place in our apartment with the least amount of stuff - so it wasn’t as overwhelming. After decluttering, I tried for a full month to always keep that bathroom tidy, and left nothing out on the surfaces. It felt so good every time I walked into that room, that now it’s motivated me to tackle other small spaces or surfaces. Just a little at a time, we can do it! Just choose one small thing. The satisfaction of success on that one small space decluttered is sooo motivating and encouraging

@perlentaucherin8884 9 месяцев назад

Thank you❤️☺️🙏🏻

@JaneH3675 9 месяцев назад

Yes, Ive kept my bathroom the same for 6 months now, and my bedroom too. These are the easiest rooms so far. The livingroom isn't too bad. My office and kitchen get used the most so always need a pick-up. But since I started decluttering 7 months ago it has gotten easier to keep my home tidy.

@barbettewelsh2358 5 месяцев назад

My children are 24 and 28. I just found your channel mostly for declutter help. I wanted to say that quite a number of years ago I read Have a new kid by Friday and it totally changed my approach to parenting. I had become sick of listening to my own lectures, and my children had long ago tuned me out. This book and the techniques I learned had my children paying attention with absolutely no raised voice or exhausting lectures. I really recommend this read. Appreciating your content.

@danaerakstad7924 9 месяцев назад

I only do real fall decorations. Pumpkins, mums, and sometimes other gord/squash things. So everything is used or thrown by November. And not much of those.

@daphblue 9 месяцев назад

I’m 26, and held onto clothes, some that I’ve had since high school. Finally a couple weekends ago, I got rid of so many things that I either didn’t wear, or made me feel sloppy and gross. I was pretty ruthless even though I expected the process to be emotional. I was just at a point where I knew those clothes did nothing for me and they had to go.

The second honey berry should help. If you don’t have enough bees again, you can use a super soft small paint brush to pollinate them yourself.

My son was behaving badly this morning and I thought the same things that you mentioned that you thought after your experience with your kids. It made me feel better that I am not the only one dealing with that disrespectful behavior and that I had the same reaction that you had! Thanks for mentioning your experience because it helped!

A declutter to stage for home sell would be great! We are putting our home on the market in February

@ColleenBee 9 месяцев назад

I would LOVE a video on decluttering and staging your home, not just for resale. I think it would be nice to live in a home that feels like it's staged and ready to entertain or invite someone in.

@projotce 9 месяцев назад

Hey, love your videos Dawn! I was raised Hindu and am agnostic now, and while I'm not an expert in yoga, I'll say there's only one popular pose that's associated with the Sun God, the Surya Namaskar and in Western yoga it's not done very often. It can be skipped if it doesn't align with your faith. On top of that, it's not necessarily considered practicing or praying to any God or Gods if you yourself aren't feeling faith towards those gods, just like in any other religion, hence why there's a difference between practicing Hinduism and secular Western yoga. Yoga has more of an origin in a philosophy towards life than honoring any of the Hindu gods.

@ambermazmanian2695 9 месяцев назад

My best friend is a yoga teacher and the order of the poses changes all the time and has to do with warming up muscles, nothing to do with honoring any kind of gods. Hope this helps!

@CindyRoadman 9 месяцев назад

I love my Cutco knives. They are expensive (at least to me) so I only own a few but it’s all I need! One of my favorite things about the company is that they will sharpen them for free whenever you want. So I send them all in once a year and I always have sharp knives! Hope that helps whomever asked that first question! ❤🔪

@growingtraditions2264 9 месяцев назад

Knife sharpening- ask your hairdresser where she gets her shears sharpened. You can take your kitchen knives there to be sharpened for a relatively inexpensive cost usually. Or ask a quilter/seamstress where she gets her fabric scissors sharpened ;)

@katiemulhearn9363 9 месяцев назад

Knife sharpener -- if you hand wash and not dishwasher you don't need to sharpen as often. There are companies you can send them in, some manufacturers will sharpen. Knives don't need to be sharpened as much as we think honing your knife with an with the knife honer can be done daily to upkeep or be done as used but sharpening doesn't need to be done all that often maybe once a year as a chef I did it maybe every 6 months. As long as you're up keeping it and not washing it in the washing in dishwasher.

Especially the clothes! The laundry is so much easier to do now! Also this year when getting out the fall decorations there were only Three items in the box, so easy to decorate w less! I don't miss any of the decorations we let go last year! This is the first time to see the real difference while decorating! Love it!

2 things you reminded me of. I used to listen to Focus on the Family and they had Drs Townsend & Cloud on and their books are called Boundaries. Helped me tremendously on dealing with difficult people...including my child! And I saw not too long ago "In my 20's I worried what other people though of me. In my 40's I didn't care what they thought. Then I turned 60 and realized they weren't thinking of me at all!" You are so encouraging, thanks for all you do!
