I’m only 12 but I love to organize and clean! I either do it in my bedroom or help my mom organize and clean around the house!! I even clean the toilet! 🚽
Hey! I saw you on a ThredUp commercial on tv! It was so funny, because I yelled, “Hey I know her!” I really don’t know you, but I’ve been watching you for years, it kinda feels like I do! 😂 Just had to share!
Beatriz Chastine Yes!! I saw 3 of my favorite RU-vidrs in that commercial, and got so excited!! I was saying, "They're not kidding! They've shown things that they've bought on their channels!" I know it's silly, but I love seeing commercials that I know are honest. Lol
Yes!! Same thing happened to me!! I was so happy to see her on there for some reason lol she deserves whatever proceeds are going into her bank from it!
I wish this videos could be longer. I swear i can watch hours of videos without even getting bored. Since i started following this channel 4 years ago my life has been better. 👏👏😀
I love Carson's gray sweater! As a family today, we got together and took down Christmas decorations and the tree and filled a donation box full of Christmas items we no longer use! I'm so proud that we did this! We need to just keep going in 2019!! Our big goal is our totally messy garage.
EXACTLY what I have been needing! I am SO ready to start 2019 by celebrating my done somethings and stop mourning my perfect nothings. Kathryn, I can NEVER thank you enough for your encouragement and for helping me out of this funk I have been in for so long. You are a blessing!
The only thing I look forward to during the long winter months (I live in Northeast Ohio and we get a ton of snow usually & below zero temps) is getting REALLY organized and decluttering the whole house. I always do my Spring cleaning in the winter because when Spring comes I am back outside working in my flower beds. So bring on all the videos with tips/tricks and motivation, so I can get my house organized better than its ever been 😀😜
I've already packed away our Christmas things, and cleaned...it took maybe 30 minutes. I LOVE having a clutter free home. I don't waste time looking for things, and my home is always company ready. Happy New Year !💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love those little guys! I did the same thing with my boys when they were little. The week before Christmas I would tell them that needy children would be happy with the unbroken toys that they would no longer were playing with and then Santa would have room for new stuff for them. It worked and we always took a couple of boxes to family shelters. Glad to see that you are passing this on as well. Happy New Year.
We are decluttering right now literally starting from one corner/space at a time. It’s an approach that works well for us. Even 15 minutes at a time and we are making progress. The start and finish is a big piece of that. Thanks for a great video!
I'm so glad I found you! I have Systemic Lupus, chronic pain along with many other illnesses and have a very hard time doing anything. It is my goal of 2019 to get my area reorganized. I had to move back in with my parents, so what was once all in a two bedroom house is now in one bedroom. I'm watching your videos getting ideas and motivated. I so appreciate you and your videos!
I love organizing videos for the inspiration! My family and I are moving to a new house in a new city so I am trying to declutter, pack, and think of new ways to decorate and organize in the new home! Your home is so beautiful and of course, organized! I love it all! Thanks for making and sharing this video!
Kathryn, I can't believe how big Carson and Owen have gotten, they are precious!! My "baby" will graduate in May 2019 with a degree in Early Childhood Education!! So I don''t have little one's any more but my home does need lot's of love right know , and you give me hope! Blessings to you and you family!
Kathryn, would you mind doing some organizational tips for teachers?? I know you don’t teach anymore but I’m a first year middle school drama teacher and sometimes I feel like paper is overwhelming me!!!! Plus sometimes I don’t feel like I can find a flow. If you have any tips, it’d be awesome to hear and much appreciated!! ❤️❤️
“A done something is so much better than a perfect nothing!” is my new mantra. Thank you for motivating us in this whole year, We'll see you in 2019. God bless you, guys!!!
You have the best inspiration!! Between health issues and now working full time our house is a major mess. I’m committed to start this weekend and getting it decluttered and beautiful like the dream home we want!!
Yes it’s so cool to see my oldest help my little one decide what to keep! Always great tips, thank you! I’m decluttering so much since we’re going to move
I have a 27, a 24, a 15 and a 9 year olds. When the oldest is told to get rid of things for space he needs the other take his clutter and they look after each other's toys. My 9 year old has the most stuff and the older ones complain. They help her and sitf get their own things back. The best thing is that I know that they will have each other back I'll one day have their toys.
I really enjoy your tips, tricks, and other great videos, but wow! Your boys are adorable!! As a mom of two boys myself, there is nothing more precious!
I’m still in college but I watch ALL of your videos and share ideas with my mom, sister, and aunts! I’m trying to store all of these ideas in my brain so I can hopefully live an organized life on a budget when I move into my own place (t minus 3 semesters!)
Thanks for the encouraging sage wisdom..."don't worry about having the perfect bin/basket etc". I think that is my biggest hurdle. I think if ONLY I can find the perfect method THEN and only THEN will I be organized. Calendar, again brilliant. Also I can't wait to jump into my clutter pile. : ) Tell the boys that helped me a lot!
This video couldn't have come at a better time! We just moved into a much bigger house and I was stressing about getting more storage organizers etc. But now I'm going to try to use what I have! Thanks Kathryn!
Oh, I so agree and wish we started years ago. It is amazing what we are finding stored around our house. I need to mentally move! I cleaned out one box so and many more to go. Maybe I need a weekly declutter day. Please keep making videos like this.
OMG, your boys!!!!!!! They are so precious, Katherine!!!! I love the way Carson is teaching his little brother so sweetly. And Carson is getting so big!! If I ever get to North Carolina (I’m in Colorado) I hope I get to meet you and your family. ❤️
Thanks for sharing these tips. You always have the best tips. Focusing on 3 areas at a time is going to help so much. I get overwhelmed easily. Thanks Kathryn!
Kathryn, I seriously took notes on this video! THIS is what I needed to hear!! I absolutely had an "Aha moment' and I cannot thank you enough!! Thank you for being so willing to share what you've learned with us - your fans and viewers - and for being so authentic. I look forward to each and every email and RU-vid notification because you always share valuable, actionable content along with a great dose of humor that is so very relatable! I'm super excited for 2019 and your POWER TIPS are such a big part of that. Happy New Year to you and your sweet little family!! Send lots of love across the www!
So excited for this. I took a tip from an earlier video and started cleaning out my house before Christmas. I'm trying to get my tiny house organized before moving to a bigger place. I'd like to have good decluttering habits now so I don't just hide my clutter when I move. Your videos are helping me become a recovering pack rat.
I love your videos. I confess that I am extremely untidy 😞. Your home always looks so smart. I try but I just don't seem motivated. I broke my left shoulder two weeks back so I am limited at the moment. On another note your boys are getting so big, they are enchanting. What a wonderful family 😍
Went to the Dollar Tree today and purchased storage bins, spray bottles and micro-fiber cloths. I'm ready to clean and get organized! All on a dime. Lol! 😊
I have realised that since I started paying attention to being more organised n clutter free .. I m shopping much more sensible! I automatically think about the space new things will need n do I have it .. do I really need it or I m getting into sale trap !
I love your channel so much, I watch every time you put a new video on that day! Thank you for your inspiration. Also I went to The Container Store and instead of buying something I went home and threw out a bunch of things because I don't want to have to buy containers for them! LOL
I'm always decluttering my daughter's toys and especially now that she received so much at Christmas! I have a bag in the basement with toys that she's outgrown and never plays with, as well as some books that she's not into anymore. It's amazing how kids stuff just multiplies!
I printed your calendar last year for my fridge and it worked wonders!!!! So glad you did this because I'm only days away from needing the fresh year up!!!
I have a white board calendar, we have different color markers for each family member. We write appts, basketball games, events and other important things on that, it has a corkboard bottom section we use to pin important papers to. It's quite helpful. I also have another whiteboard that we use for our weekly menu.
Boy, I was glad this was not just an organizing video but also a video of new in/old out! I'm not a minimalist, but I've really been thinking about the philosophy that "managing our stuff" is a source of stress (actually a good youtube video is a UCLA anthropological study of American middle class homes showing the amount of stuff and that this was often a key source of stress for women I the household. ..no surprise of course). My goal this year is to lean out my stuff to an amount I can manage and not stress over.
I think the reason u are loved so much, is because you live a realistic life. You have really young kids. And you have a clean organized home. A home that your family is comfortable in. Not worried about being picture perfect and scared to move. This is a home full of love. Which to me is picture perfect!
Hi! So glad I stumbled onto your channel! I’m actually using your videos as declutter/organizing inspiration. Then when I lose steam, I come and watch a few videos to motivate myself to keep going! Thank you.
OMG! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! I wish I could pm you!!! You were 1 of my main inspirations for starting to declutter and organize!!!! Thank you SO much for all of your videos, and positive aura! I can't get enough of you!!!! ❤❤❤
Love this cause it's just what I was wanting to do in January. My man & I each live in our own homes & need to declutter so we can move in together when he retires. Love your videos K! And your boys are adoable! ❤💜❤
Oh, those boys! They are priceless :) Thank you for the motivation. I am such a procrastinator and the more I procrastinate the bigger that mountain of clutter and chaos seems to be. Time to scale that mountain and make it in to something more manageable.
I missed a few of your videos and I'm finally able to catch up. The kids got so big during that time! Such adorable boys! Thank you for the wonderful tips. I'm excited to declutter some more.
I can not thank you enough for this videos ! They are helping me so much now that I took responsibility to care for four boys under the age of 10 ! Happy New year and please keep them coming !!
I’m reading the Cozy Minimalist book right now and so much of what you said is hit home in that book! Your dream home photos rarely have tons of stuff!
Thank you so much for the calendar!!! I am ready to live more simply this year. My daughter asked me when we were playing The Game of Life yesterday why I didn't want the biggest house. More to clean, my child....more to clean. Lol!!!
I just watched the robeson video and it was great. A beautiful room, will motivate anyone. Y'all were great together. And I'm glad you got her to the dollar store. She's pretty high budget and I can tell you showed her another side of decorating. I think she's to busy to notice the dollar store treasures.
*Happy New Year GIRL! Living a clutter free life is amazing! I talk about this all the time on my channel:) My biggest tip is to always have a "trash" and "donate" bag or bin handy with every decluttering task. YES! time limits are so crucial:) Getting focused is so important! thanks for sharing your tips mama!*
Just found your channel - glad I did, nice to find someone who can help us organize on a budget, unlike many of the other fancy organizers who want us to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on expensive plastic bins. That Dollar Store concept works for me lol Look forward to watching your other videos. Like that 25 minute sprint idea, my kind of routine as I always overthink everything if I take too long and then invariably end up taking forever to clear a small space. Long story behind why that is but anyway, thanks for the help, appreciated 🙏🏻
i’m moving in about a month and I can’t wait to get rid of so much stuff and have a fresh start new year new me 😍 thank you for all the tips i’ll be using
Happy New Year! Thanks a bunch for all the wonderful videos in 2018, can't wait to see what awesome things you'll bring in 2019! May God bless you and your family always🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊😊😊
I just adore, love and worship your videos, so concrete good info every video, practical things and tips that helped. I've followed you for a while now and I can tell that every single video has helped me a lot into becoming more organized, up to whatever I have to do and motivational for me to keep going with it. Thank you, thank you so much for everything. Hugs and love, blessings by tons for you forever. 💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️
My New Years resolution is to “Treat My Home as our Sacred Space!l meaning really think about each item we want to bring in. 😊. It doesn’t hurt that we will be moving in 3 months so I have already started to purge! I will be watching for more videos like these.....thank you and Happy New Year!! 🍾
