Please DO NOT put dryer lint out for the birds for a number of reasons: Structural Integrity: Dryer lint loses its fluffiness and structure when wet, making it unsustainable in the rain. This can cause nests to crumble and develop holes, compromising their stability Chemical Contamination: Dryer lint often contains residues from detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets, which can include harmful chemicals and microplastics. These substances can be toxic to birds. Health Hazards: The fine particles in dryer lint can become airborne and be inhaled by birds, potentially causing respiratory issues. Additionally, wet lint can become tacky and stick to birds' feathers and legs, posing further risks. Instead, the Audubon Society recommends providing natural materials that birds would typically use, such as twigs, leaves, straw, grass clippings, and native plants. These materials are safer and more suitable for nest building. Thanks for reading from an avid birder. 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🥰

@shaynaformity1384 3 дня назад

Also, don't put out bits of string or yarn, even if they're natural fibers that will eventually biodegrade, because the whole point of making the fibers into yarn or string is to prevent them from falling apart quickly. Yarn and string can wrap around a bird's legs and disable them.

When you groom your dog for the summer, try to leave the hair/fur out for the birds. They love padding their nests with it. Wool is natural, so it dries out quickly. It keeps the baby birds warm, it is fluffy and soft, it does not tangle up, and it is very light. One miniature poodle can produce enough wool to pad at least ten bird nests.

@karenbreslauer2053 4 дня назад

Dawn I was thinking if Tom could cut out 2 nice pieces of wood the exact length and width of the spice stairs And place them on the stairs To elevate the back spice jars so you could see the labels. Just a thought It would drive me crazy not being able to see what I have Thanks Karen from Florida 🌴💕

@JamieM470 4 дня назад

That's a great idea! I bought some spice stairs at a thrift store but they did the same thing; label-hiding. Very annoying! I also tried a two-tier lazy susan, but that felt chaotic. I only have a few shallow kitchen drawers, so a spice drawer is not an option for me. I finally bought a little 2-shelf stand from the $5 area at Target. The bottom shelf was just a wee bit too low, so I put two small wooden Dollar Tree crates underneath it to lift it up about half an inch......and it's perfect lol. I'm finally happy with my spices. I have two little shelves of spices, with another row in front, and I can see all the labels. I think storing spices in a cabinet requires just a little DIY :)

@bmuseo 4 дня назад

I would suggest vertical spice. They are vertical drawers that can hold double the amount of spices do to a 2 tier design while giving visibility and access to all spices. Also, the jars are pretty, but I would suggest a 8oz. Jars with a wider mouth for easier measuring spoon usage that also holds the entire jar of your normal spice volume. But you did a lovely job!

@dsmith9796 3 дня назад

JUST A TIP! For the trash bags (and if someone has already written it, I apologize for repeat). You know how some people prefer their toilet paper to go under or over...well. with the trash bag it's better if you have the bag rolling from the top, that way you're not pulling the weight of all the bag rolling on top and possibly the container won't wabble or move/fall when you are grabbing for the bag.

@kraesmom1 2 дня назад

On the other hand, if it's from the bottom, then the weight of the roll will help stop the roll from continuing to unroll and provide a counter weight so they come apart easier when you get to the seam. lol

🌺 I love that you show us each item and how it works. Thanks for your honesty and including when the items don't work. There are other "famous" organizing channels, but they feel like infomercials. With you, it's like hanging out with a friend and not rushed. Thank you, Dawn!! 🌺🙏

I’m guessing your mom is around my age and I know your parents work a farm. My grandparents worked a 3 generation farm so I saw the sacrifices they made being farmers. Give lots of grace to your mom with regard to organizing. I remember looking for a wash cloth in my grandmothers linen closet and was overwhelmed. She had enough towels and bedding for a household of 9 people and looking for organization solutions was not happening. I think you said in the past that your mom also worked a full time job outside of the farm. Please give your mom lots of grace. Thank you for your family’s service to farming. It’s not M-F 9-5 job.

@AmyJo-54501 4 дня назад

Definitely one of the most “busy, time consuming “ jobs. Dawn has always praised her mom and her raising of the kids. So, I see her comments as the reality of living in a home where her parents worked their tails off to provide for and love their kiddos to the max.

@CJR-bs7eu 4 дня назад

I think I've heard Dawn say almost the same thing about her mom & dad. She & Diana often talk about how wonderful their parents are & how much they appreciate how they were raised. Actually through them I realized how much work farming is. Good advice for us all though. ❤

I will never decant spices, I just buy from one brand and they all look nice together. And they’re all in a wall mounted rack on the inside of a cupboard so you can see everything at once.

@plantingblessings 2 дня назад

I feel like a great reminder here is that oftentimes the home organizer you think will solve a certain problem actually doesn't and that's okay. Oftentimes, we keep the organizer even if we don't find it working 100%, only to feel like that task is complete and we can move on. But I find whenever I keep a basket, organizer, etc. to serve a function, and it even falls slightly short, I regret keeping that item, and end up needing to change it a few weeks or months later.

Love all these lovely organizational items! For the dryer balls, I use them with every load, so they just live in the dryer. I count them after I take the load out of the dryer and search for any missing ones right then. My puppies also love to eat them, so it keeps them safe from being destroyed. That lint container is the perfect size for a laundry room waste basket and will free up the floor space the large waste basket is currently occupying.

My spaghetti sauce comes in a mason jar. I decant baking supplies, rice and spices to glass, but have been very selective of how much I decant.

Honesty is the best policy and all your followers appreciate it. I too have been taken by stuff that once I got it it just didn’t work like I was told it would. Oh just a hint, I’ve been using Alien tape for things like securing your acrylic bins or hanging small stuff on walls. When you want to move it you just twist your object and the tape will release, no damage. I’ve used it for my plastic bag holder (among many other things) and it hasn’t moved in two years. Give it a try, I think you will find it useful. Love your spice cabinet, it looks amazing.

I have an old dishpan under my kitchen sink where I keep my extra dish soap, a small Mason jar with a stainless steel scrubby in it, a pair of rubber gloves, and a roll of plastic garbage bags standing on its end. Not messy, no need to buy an additional plastic box. I also don't have a drying rack or mat - I just put the clean dishes on the counter. When I put the dishes away, I use a rag to dry the counter, then I have a wet rag in my hand, so I usually use it to wipe down a cabinet door or the stove, etc. I'm so grateful to Dawn for helping me simplify my kitchen so much that I never have to designate time to clean the kitchen, it's become automatic to just clean as I go.
