Goodevening Linda & Stewart,heres Another tip , I use extra grocery bags knotted, and put them in the bottom of the small bathroom, bedroom , livingroom trash cans so when I take out the full bag, then there is already another bag to put into the can..And I use my antique crocks as trash cans, and I store my powder laundry detergent in a large old crock.Hope your having a Warm & Cozy Sunday..Thus Far here in Zone 6a, we only have a dusting of snow, from this Major Storm but starting to sleet..have a Great Evening & SMILE..Love your scarf, you look Fabulous in Red today..Full Tuck in shirt and Yes I wear belts
I enjoy all your vlogs so,so much!! There is nothing you talk about whether inside or outside that doesn’t resonate with me. Thank you to you and Stuart for all you do to bring joy and learning to so many!!! I wanted to share a Bible verse that helps me when I feel overwhelmed by life. I hope you don’t mind. God says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “ My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” This verse puts the burden on my Jesus who died for me to forgive my sins and who is there for me through everything. Thank you for always being real and sharing with us what has helped you. I hope I’ve not offended you in anyway. Just wanted to share my faith. God bless you, Stuart and all your dear family.♥️
I read your beautiful comment to Linda and just wanted to say thank you for posting that verse. Linda’s inspiring words and yours were greatly needed today and very much appreciated. I wrote them down. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Oh my! Stewart Perryman! I am a Perryman and have not met many Perrymans. How exciting to hear of another Perryman out there in the universe! It is no wonder that I enjoy your RUclips channel. Great videography Stewart!
Oh my, I just watched your last video on things that make your life easier...and this continued one is just as good!! I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear those words you spoke, at the end of this video, on "Come what may...you CAN handle it"! Today has been a hard day, like many have been lately, after the loss of my sweet Father in Law. We were looking so forward to spending Christmas, all together, for the first time since my Mother in Law died in 2019. From watching your channel, I know you have lost family members as well. I can't tell you how much your channel has brought me, in all aspects! I just love all your great tips and suggestions. Especially tonight, as I am watching, I realize how wonderful it is and has been to "visit safely", if you will, into your garden and your home! What a wonderful GIFT we all have received in the midst of a very tough couple of Pandemic years! Thank you and thank you to Stewart for all this GREAT content! Keep it comin!!! Blessings and much love!
I enjoy watching you so much! You are beautiful and have the cutest personality! You speak so eloquently and always have such wonderful content! I have learned so many neat tips and tricks from you for my everyday life and also about gardening and topiaries! I am very excited to have found you on here!
I have my magazines sorted by season... spring, summer,fall and winter. I have each season in a different floor basket or bin with handles so I can bring the whole stack into the room I am in. Sometime I feel like Christmas in July... so I make a cappuccino and my basket and I can spend a couple of hours loving the ideas and inspiration. I also tie a flower, or fall leaf or Christmas sprig to the handle so I can see the season I want at a glance when I open the closet
I use old Pringle tubes for plastic bags and have them in the car, never know when you want to buy that extra plant or find something great on the side of the road. The tubes are small, but hold 10-12 bags.
Very helpful video, Linda. Thank you. Plastic bags in a tissue box is a great idea. I have a few of the cloth holders that work out well. What I have been doing lately is folding those bags so they take up less room and putting several in the bottom of each of the small wastebaskets where I use them for trash. I can then take out the full bag, tie it up and I have another in the bottom of the basket ready and waiting to replace the one I removed. I fold them while I’m having my coffee watching a video or chatting on the phone, etc. I have small wastebaskets all over the house and this saves me time when collecting the trash from them before trash pick up day. Since COVID we have been doing curbside pickup for groceries. The stores here use paper bags with handles. I fold those and tuck into a rack on the inside my utility closet door and use them for my recycle papers and plastics…..easy to carry to the big recycle bin. I also use them for anything unbreakable that I’m going to donate. They are easier to carry and lighter than boxes. I need to use a cane so I have only one hand available to carry things and these work out well. 🥰
Congratulations on the achievement, Linda and Stewart!! 👏Thanks for sharing your talents with us...and for also sharing your friendship with us. You had me laughing at the story of unplugging the lamp in your recent video! Boys. 😂
For rolling out pastry, I use an oversized silicone mat. It has circles of different sizes which is helpful. It conveniently rolls up for easy storage.
The small silicone mats are also useful for putting under your floor sewing machine pedal to keep it from sliding away... also use for your music keyboard floor sustain pedal. Really holds things in place.
I agree! I just ordered the book you mentioned on eBay! I live in an English Tudor in East English Village in Detroit, Michigan, and your house reminds me so much of my own!
Growing up in Oklahoma and now living in northern Minnesota, heating pads, space heaters and my electric blanket are my best friends for at least 7 months of the year 😏 Congratulations on the 100,000 award, well deserved!
Hello Linda, I never tuck my shirts, nor do I wear belts. It's something I moved away from many years ago. I love your tissue box hack for shopping bags. I will definitely be using that one in my shed.
Hiya Linda & Stewart CONGRATULATIONS On your award! Thought I would pass along a tip to all I use a combination of course sea salt & a half of a lemon to clean my wood boards, use the lemon not only for the liquid but also as the scrub pad, I like to let it sit for an hour, then rinse off residue. It’s cheap and environmentally friendly. Thankyou blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada.🐝
My feet get cold easy so I use a pet bed that has a cover to keep them warm. They are super plush too and comfy. Chewy and Petsmart have some nice ones.
Linda, I too am a book lover and for years had resisted getting a kindle. Because of the pandemic, and not wanting to visit the library, I bought a kindle and am "hooked"! No trips back and forth to the library and handling books that others have handled. I also find I am reading so much more because it's so convenient! Thanks for all the tips for making life easier!
But, there is something about holding the book in my hands....I have a Kindle fire and kindle, which are handy, but books are where I really love to go...
@@lydiaellisor4090 I don't like reading magazines or garden books on Kindle, but Kindle is the only way I read a novel these days. I usually fall asleep with a book in my hand, and now I don't have to worry with losing my place. Kindle is also the only way I can read a book without glasses these days, which is also great for bedtime reading, as well as not having to use a bedside lamp.
I was reluctant, too, but I LOVE my Kindle Fire. I do a lot of driving and also gardening and I don't mind the computer-voice on it at all so I use it mostly as a book on tape kind of device. I never learned a lot of navigation features and I don't like it for cookbooks, but otherwise it is a total winner for me.
Love many of these ideas and already do several. I love magazines too. I take a picture of ideas, recipes etc that I want to save. I file them on my phone. I can sort them or send them to my email address and file them in appropriate folders. Too much bulk to save magazines. A friend and I subscribed to different magazines and swap them when we are finished. I love that your home is lovely but also very lived in. (That is a compliment.) Many folks show their home and it is devoid of personality - looks staged as if anyone could live there. I like authentic homes. Thanks for sharing.
Do not take for granted the luxury of being able to stay in bed and read. Many people like myself would love to do that and are not able to. Great products and ideas shown today. 🌸
Congrats to you and Stewart on the RUclips award!! Love love love ❤️ the Libby app!! I’m always reading a book, sometimes two and a magazine 😊 the idea of tearing out the page in the magazine you want to keep and save “by month, holiday etc” is brilliant !! I fold all my plastic bags into little triangles and put in the bottom of all my bath trash cans. Thanks for all your great videos!! Love them all as always full of great tips and ideas!!!
Nice cutting board. Give board a good scrub with half a lemon and salt. Rinse let dry then coat with mineral oil. It will last you for a lifetime. I love felt pads for everything also. Love the broom. That's for me. I side tuck into a jean pocket think it was and 80's thing. ha ha Lost a diamond in my wedding band before Christmas. At the jewelers for estimate he said "please don't wear until it is repaired. All but one of your stones are loose". You should have your rings examined every year. I'm wearing a cocktail ring. Love Johnny's scarf. It makes you smile and happy. Congrats on RUclips award.
Suggestion... putting a space heater in bathroom before taking a shower or bath to prevent yourself from using HOT water that will dry your skin out!! I just love all your videos!! Thank you 😊
Hats off to Linda & Stewart on achieving the 100,000 subscriber milestone! Storing reusable plastic bags in a tissue box is a good tip-thanks. Will keep one in the pantry and garage.
Bravo to you and Stewart on receiving this well-deserved RUclips award. Thanks for the Libby app recommendation. My husband and I are avid library borrower/supporters. To help downsize my magazine collection, I keep a few in the kitchen to peruse while cooking dinner. Then, I donate non-keepers to my library's popular used magazine pile. Greetings from cloudy, 37 degree zone 6A CT.
I’m glad to learn that you can plant out forced bulbs. Years ago someone told me they wouldn’t survive if they’d been forced and I took it as gospel. Your hyacinths might just inspire me to raid the shelves of Trader Joe’s, I love their scent and color.
I got myself a cell phone cover that has 10 credit card slots, plus driver license window and coin purse part. Best $14. - I ever spend. It eliminates having to carry (or search for) 3 different articles, running to the store means: get keys and cell phone and I'm set. However, for more formal occasions I do carry a handbag and for this I purchase a "bag light", no more black hole in my handbag. -- To hang up my boom, shovel etc I use big binder rings (Dollar Tree's a best), the rings are thinner and the article therefore hangs neater on the hook. -- I also got new electric timers that have 2 outlets on them since I like table lamps for ambiance and too lazy to turn each one on, problem solved with these timers. - so these are my "Make life easier" for 2022.
The best new gadgets (to me) that makes my life easier are: a robotic vacuum, electric kettle, smart wifi bulbs/plug ins, and a under the desk elliptical pedaler. Always enjoy you vids. Have a great day Linda!
The metal and glass table in your bedroom is so familiar ! I had one just like it, I think it came from Bombay Company. So excited to be reminded - one of the glass shelves broke and I used a recycled square tile to replace. Loved that table.. (Sometimes I just stop listening and look at all your stuff - please do not be offended by that - I just find your videos inspirational visually I can relax just looking. ) Thank you.
Linda, try a heated mattress cover! They have dual controls for partner preference.they even have ones that have cooling abilities too. Best bedding purchase!
@@jeanettedombroski3934 I just use a heated small lap blanket. I put it underneath my body and it has an adjustable control. It's so small so there's no commitment to where it is (my feet, my legs). I have one at my work desk too and I sit on it. They are super affordable and lifechanging.
Not only do I do the different color purse, I gave each one of my friends bright pink ones. They love them! Plus, I couldn't help noticing your painting. I actually have that tea pot. Great to see it in oil! 😁
Hi Linda. I too put grocery bags into empty tissue boxes. Depends on which jeans I wear and what top I’m wearing if I use a belt. Congratulations to you and Stewart on your milestone RUclips award.
Linda, I discovered your RUclips channel a few weeks ago and I’ve been completely hooked on watching your recordings. You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. I’ve gleaned a number of great ideas from you. You have wonderful taste and I love your style. I too enjoy thrifting and appreciate all of your tips. I am A librarian and Grateful for your promotion of public libraries and reading. I was incredibly impressed with your shout out for the Libby app, you explained how do use it so well. You really made my day. Thank you, Gail
You inspired me to polish my earrings too. I’m doing them one per day, and all of a sudden, I have a whole new beautiful wardrobe of bright shiny earrings and jewelry. Thank you!
Congratulations to you and Stewart on your award! I am cold all the time. I keep a heated throw in my chair and electric blanket on my bed. I also keep an electric heater in my closet as well. I love these series of tips they are very helpful. Thank you for bringing us into your home and life. God has given you special talents and you use them so well. I have a quote....Don't sweat the small stuff life is too short. ❤
Yes I wear a belt in my jeans. My daughter gave me this tip. Men's belts last longer, they are a bit wider and fill the belt loops better. It's amazing how much more expensive and better quality they look. Often I buy a man's belt cut the buckle off and fit one of my choice. The holes are already there if the buckle has to be stitched on. Or you can add extra decoration. I just don't like skinny belts in wide belt loops.
Living in Michigan I have used heating pads of years to keep me warm in the winter. While at a garage sale this summer I found and heated throw new in the package. It is perfect for my chair in the evenings ☺️ I also keep everything in my purse in different cases and they all have different patterns so I can find them quickly.
One of the reasons.i have bright blue frames for my glasses is so I can find them on my bedside table or coffee table etc. There was a time that my phone case was black, my wallet was black, my checkbook was dark navy, and the lining of my handbag was black. Chic, but never again. Color is functional!
Thank you Linda and Stewart for these informative series of videos. A nice collection to view during your quiet garden season. They are very well-presented, well-prepared and thought through. I like the tip of using the arrow stickers in books and magazines. You are a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and experience, we appreciate your presentations. Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. You’re a great team. I started watching you when there were only 10,000. Well-deserved. Lots of love from sunny, humid Sydney. Australia:
Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers! My son sent me the key finder/item locator for Christmas. The stickers for the transmitter were tiny and difficult to see. To help me remember which color button goes with which device, I have come up with the following coding system: Green-keys (G for Go), Red-(R for Remote), Blue-handbag (B for Bag), Purple-(P for Phone). I have needed it several times already. I usually don't tuck my shirt or wear a belt, however, I want to be someone who does. I also want to be someone who has a potager. 2022 goals!
Hi Linda and Stewart.. thanks for all the wonderful videos! We truly appreciate your time and thoughts on gardening and fashion :). I wear jeans but always with a belt. No matter how tight the jeans are I feel like they will slip off if I don't have a belt! LOL. Shirts I don't tuck any more, just half tuck or let them hang! Best to you both! Susan
What a great idea using the tissue box for the groc. bags. I use the bags for my garbage cans in the bathrooms. I love your scarf. They are classic! Makes me feel dressed well when I wear a scarf.
Thanks Linda for all the wonderful tips that you give us. I always find some of them that I am going to use. I am a person that never tucks my shirt or wears a belt. I use the bags for my small trash cans in my bathrooms. My mom made me a cloth bag that hangs in my kitchen cabinet to hold my bags. I have had it for years she has been gone for 13 years. Thanks again for all your knowledge.
Good tips. Love the library app and the tissue box bag dispenser. As for tucking top into jeans - nope, I find that as I get older I have no room in there for anything other than me ..and you can therefore guess my answer to the belt question!
I got one of those key finder things for my mom who has dementia. She was always hiding things like her purse or glasses and I would get so aggravated every time we would have to go some place and the dreaded hunt for the pocketbook would begin. Just make sure the batteries are always fresh or else it won’t work.
I don’t tuck in my shirt because I have a tummy. I also don’t usually wear a belt, unless I belt a shirt, sweater or jacket. I also wear my clothes multiple days if they are not dirty or sweaty.
I like the half tuck and sometimes a belt, sometimes not, but I really like statement belts, with an interesting buckle or some other kind of metal on them. I love Alexandra Fuller! Which makes me wonder, what about, especially during the winter when there's less going on outside, you start adding a brief Linda's book club to your videos? There must be a lot of gardening books you like, the ones you refer to over and over again, and you can do one at a time. Just thinking out loud 💚
Good day, Congratulations to you both on your Utube award! That’s wonderful!! I do not tuck in my sweater/blouse and do not wear a belt. Just more of a comfort thing for me.
Oh you are so much fun,thanks for the super videos! I am a Bonsai guy,but my favorite plant is a 40 year old Euphorbia Capsaintmariensis. It is shockingly beautiful,I wish that there was a way to show it to you,you would love it!
I think stuffing a tissue box with small bags is the most clever idea. I will adopt that one. My winter cozy is a hot water bottle between the sheets about where my feet are. It warms the bed up and it's a perfect resting spot for my feet.
I have a heated twin mattress pad that I love using during the winter months. I turn it on about ten minutes before going to bed so my bed is toasty when I crawl in. Once I’m ready to go to sleep I turn it off.
Some random thoughts and comments: 1. Would it look very silly having a remote finder dangling from my prescription readers? Hmm, probably. But YES on the pruners! I've lost more than one pair while out in my wooded buffer, just to recover them months later looking worse for wear. 2. Just added the plastic bag holder to my Amazon list. I'm tall and tired of bending over my garbage scrap bin while peeling veggies. 3. I thought I was the only one who knows my library card number by heart! 😆 Hubby gave me some books for Christmas and although I have several pretty bookmarks, I was looking for something similar to the church missals that have a ribbon or cord attached that I could move from page to page as I'm reading. Nothing is worse than a book that slips and losing the page. My solution was quick and simple. I attached a rubber band approximately mid-way through the book, then tied a thin cord to the top and attached a shell bead to the the bottom for weight. Works like a charm and so inexpensive that I intend on passing it along with the book. Finally, 4. Yes, to the belt. If I don't, I get "saggy bottom" whenever I stand. 😉 PS 5. And may the force be with you, also. No, wait, that wasn't the quote, was it.
Oh, and one more hack. I discovered my old mags do double duty quite nicely as boot trees. Keeps them all nice and straight, less to purchase and gives me a place to "store" my magazines.
I wear my shirts out with no belt. But not as cute an petite as you are size wise just because it is comfortable to me. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and info. And, I have to get me some if those brooms. Thanks, again and have a blessed and fabulous day ❤😊
My son is leaving the nest in a few weeks and I'm trying to adjust and deal. Thank you for the idea of wearing your sons scarf-I'm going to go look for something of his I can wear when he leaves ❤️
I too use tissue boxes for plastic grocery bags. I have some outdoors (in a storage box) which I use for quick pruning and weeding chores. I also have heating pads all over the house.
I could use the key finder for my cane and glasses case. I constantly leave my cane somewhere, especially when my hands are full, and this will help me remember what room I've left it in.
Regarding heating pads, don't forget your pets need them too in winter months. I buy K & H ones for my tomcat from Amazon. Large one for his bed outside by the back door and two for his smaller beds inside the house. He really loves them. Get them for dogs also.
I llove the British version of Country Living magazine - especially the Spring months. I have to get them at bookstore but lately hard to find. Supply chain issues maybe but I miss reading about their gardens and wildlife.
I got a chuckle when you said you might put the tracker on your phone - I too lose my phone ALL THE TIME! Love the red sweater with your sons scarf 🧣 I love to wear clothes that my sons leave behind. 💞 Half tuck….not sure about it. I’ve tried but I think I’m doing it wrong or it just looks goofy! Thank you for mentioning and using Libby. As a retired public library customer service specialist, it’s so nice to hear people using their public library and discovering ways to make it work for them. Tips & Tricks for the win 😃👍
@@LindaVater I truly believe that a libraries website is an underused resource & generally hides a number of treasures. The e-resources are quite often passed over unless someone uses the downloads but there are usually many, many others to choose from. Movies to access, Encyclopedias, archives, magazines, craft sites to learn new skills or entertain. You can almost always keep lists of books you want to read and also books you’ve already read (so you don’t get it home and realize you’ve had that one before). Also, if your library doesn’t have a book you’re looking for, ask if they’ll purchase it for the collection! Check out the classes and programs being offered and suggest (or volunteer to teach) one if you have an idea. Seed starting perhaps!! And lastly, check to see what materials are being loaned out…tablets, gaming systems, GoPro, Makey kits, Chromebooks, Hotspots, Adventure packs, Trail guides - it’s amazing what different libraries offer! Have a great day everyone and make sure to check out your local public library 📚
oh! Don't go by me but I don't tuck in shirts any more because of my pot belly. Also, I don't wear belts because the buckle just emphasizes my belly protrusion. I am tired of jeans because they stretch out and I have to always hike them up due to not wearing a belt. If I were thin I would definitely be tucking in my shirts as it is a great look plus I'd definitely wear belts.
Come what may... I’m not handling it very well. On 1/10/21 I lost a sister, on 4/22/21 I lost a brother, on 5/6/21 my precious son died. I started this year still deep in grief but hopeful for a better year. 1/10/22 I lost another sister! I just found your channel and will try to use some of your tips to become more active as I have been on the couch or in bed for most of 2021.💔
Oh Barbara. I am so so sorry. The simple act of even commenting here is a demonstration of your resilience and capacity to move on in some fashion. My thoughts are with you today.
I appreciate the tips for being cold! I was always wearing bulky robes and sweatshirts around the house but now I like to wear cuddleduds--fleece or fleece lined form fitting long sleeved shirts. They keep me warm without the cumbersome bulky material.
🎊👏Congratulations Linda and Stewart on getting the You Tube award. They should also have and Excellent content award. You would surpass that one in no time🍰😁
Our house is on one level (with a basement). For some reason, the furnace was located at one end of the house. The bedrooms are on the opposite end of what is quite a wide house. So the bedrooms are the coldest rooms (I would have rather had exactly the opposite!). We have a powder room that is on the warm end of the house. If the door to that room is shut, it quickly gets very warm in there. I try to remember to select what I am wearing for the day not long after getting out of bed, and place them in that powder room with the door closed. When it's time to get dressed, the clothes aren't cold, like they are when taken from the closet or chest of drawers on the opposite end of the house! Linda might find putting the space heater in her closet to be beneficial in this way, when she's going through and trying on clothes when deciding to keep or give away! Nice warm clothes to try on in the middle of winter!
Generally I don’t touch my shirt into my jeans.. yesterday I was working on my go away box and I put a belt in it... it’s a nice belt but I never wear it... I tend to wear jeans in the winter and linen pants in the summer no belt... I appreciated your video where you talked about things you can do in the winter... I will be working on my soil... you always give me something to think about... thank you... I wonder if you know P Allen Smith from Mars mountain Arkansas.... he has written several gardening books the container Gardner was the first one.. I would love to see you to team up on some kind of project.. and congratulations on getting a plaque from the RUclips people yay‼️‼️
I had saved magazines for years, using articles and photos with clients. Useful but cumbersome in the long run, I started tearing out pages, or photo copying pages. I made files such as window treatments, kitchen ideas, how to style bookshelves, etc. I always included a 3x5 card with notations. One file cabinet holds them, and keeps the clutter corraled.
Great ideas. I had an ah ha moment, when you spoke about your heating pad! Yes, I need that (or a hot water bottle) because my feet are always cold when I go to bed! Also, I do the exact same thing with all my magazines! I prefer putting them away per month., as I find it a great way to follow season and holiday ideas. (I never tuck in my top.... that way I hide my booty!! ) by the way...your encouraging words are exactly what I needed to hear today! It is getting a little crazy up in my part of the world. Thank you.
Hey..love your cutting board..I get my mineral oil at Walmart..very inexpensive and helps preserve my board. Also..the plastic grocery bags...Goodwill and thrift stores can use those.
Oh Linda, you must go to Amazon and get the handbag light! It is a small strand of lights that hang in your purse, it was made for this use! Love your videos, thank you and Stewart.
I love watching these “make life easier” videos you do. You’re so organized and thrifty. And Intelligent. You’re my guru. 😘
I agree

I do the same
Where are you getting extra trash bags?
I enjoy all your vlogs so,so much!! There is nothing you talk about whether inside or outside that doesn’t resonate with me. Thank you to you and Stuart for all you do to bring joy and learning to so many!!!
I wanted to share a Bible verse that helps me when I feel overwhelmed by life. I hope you don’t mind. God says in
2 Corinthians 12:9
“ My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”
This verse puts the burden on my Jesus who died for me to forgive my sins and who is there for me through everything.
Thank you for always being real and sharing with us what has helped you. I hope I’ve not offended you in anyway. Just wanted to share my faith. God bless you, Stuart and all your dear family.♥️
I read your beautiful comment to Linda and just wanted to say thank you for posting that verse. Linda’s inspiring words and yours were greatly needed today and very much appreciated. I wrote them down. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
@@jeanninef2110 I’m so glad you were encouraged! I’ll keep you in my prayers🙏🏽♥️
Davina Holaday No one should be upset when you share God’s word. I’m so glad you did. God bless!
Beautiful…..God wants us to share his word, he wants to carry our burdens !!!
Be bold in Christ with no apologies 🥰
Blessings to you !
Oh my! Stewart Perryman! I am a Perryman and have not met many Perrymans. How exciting to hear of another Perryman out there in the universe! It is no wonder that I enjoy your RUclips channel. Great videography Stewart!
Oh my, I just watched your last video on things that make your life easier...and this continued one is just as good!! I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear those words you spoke, at the end of this video, on "Come what may...you CAN handle it"! Today has been a hard day, like many have been lately, after the loss of my sweet Father in Law. We were looking so forward to spending Christmas, all together, for the first time since my Mother in Law died in 2019. From watching your channel, I know you have lost family members as well. I can't tell you how much your channel has brought me, in all aspects! I just love all your great tips and suggestions. Especially tonight, as I am watching, I realize how wonderful it is and has been to "visit safely", if you will, into your garden and your home! What a wonderful GIFT we all have received in the midst of a very tough couple of Pandemic years! Thank you and thank you to Stewart for all this GREAT content! Keep it comin!!! Blessings and much love!
Oh Libby. I do understand the loss of loved ones. How fortunate we were to have such amazing people in our lives!
I enjoy watching you so much! You are beautiful and have the cutest personality! You speak so eloquently and always have such wonderful content! I have learned so many neat tips and tricks from you for my everyday life and also about gardening and topiaries! I am very excited to have found you on here!
I have my magazines sorted by season... spring, summer,fall and winter. I have each season in a different floor basket or bin with handles so I can bring the whole stack into the room I am in. Sometime I feel like Christmas in July... so I make a cappuccino and my basket and I can spend a couple of hours loving the ideas and inspiration. I also tie a flower, or fall leaf or Christmas sprig to the handle so I can see the season I want at a glance when I open the closet
I use old Pringle tubes for plastic bags and have them in the car, never know when you want to buy that extra plant or find something great on the side of the road. The tubes are small, but hold 10-12 bags.
great idea
Love the key finder! I always buy purses with light colored linings. Easy to find things!
Very helpful video, Linda. Thank you. Plastic bags in a tissue box is a great idea. I have a few of the cloth holders that work out well. What I have been doing lately is folding those bags so they take up less room and putting several in the bottom of each of the small wastebaskets where I use them for trash. I can then take out the full bag, tie it up and I have another in the bottom of the basket ready and waiting to replace the one I removed. I fold them while I’m having my coffee watching a video or chatting on the phone, etc. I have small wastebaskets all over the house and this saves me time when collecting the trash from them before trash pick up day. Since COVID we have been doing curbside pickup for groceries. The stores here use paper bags with handles. I fold those and tuck into a rack on the inside my utility closet door and use them for my recycle papers and plastics…..easy to carry to the big recycle bin. I also use them for anything unbreakable that I’m going to donate. They are easier to carry and lighter than boxes. I need to use a cane so I have only one hand available to carry things and these work out well. 🥰
Congratulations on the achievement, Linda and Stewart!! 👏Thanks for sharing your talents with us...and for also sharing your friendship with us. You had me laughing at the story of unplugging the lamp in your recent video! Boys. 😂
For rolling out pastry, I use an oversized silicone mat. It has circles of different sizes which is helpful. It conveniently rolls up for easy storage.
The small silicone mats are also useful for putting under your floor sewing machine pedal to keep it from sliding away... also use for your music keyboard floor sustain pedal. Really holds things in place.
Linda with all your knowledge you should start a book club. I think it would be as popular as your garden advice!
Thank you!
I agree! I just ordered the book you mentioned on eBay! I live in an English Tudor in East English Village in Detroit, Michigan, and your house reminds me so much of my own!
CONGRATULATIONS on the RUclips Award Also,,,,Well Deserved...
Growing up in Oklahoma and now living in northern Minnesota, heating pads, space heaters and my electric blanket are my best friends for at least 7 months of the year 😏
Congratulations on the 100,000 award, well deserved!
I’m also a big fan of Autumn Jazz radio. We play it all the time in our home
My grandson was All-State Jazz Guitar player three years in a row, and was from a small school in Oklahoma. Earned him a four year college scholarship
Hello Linda, I never tuck my shirts, nor do I wear belts. It's something I moved away from many years ago.
I love your tissue box hack for shopping bags. I will definitely be using that one in my shed.
Hiya Linda & Stewart CONGRATULATIONS On your award! Thought I would pass along a tip to all I use a combination of course sea salt & a half of a lemon to clean my wood boards, use the lemon not only for the liquid but also as the scrub pad, I like to let it sit for an hour, then rinse off residue. It’s cheap and environmentally friendly. Thankyou blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada.🐝
Excellent!
My feet get cold easy so I use a pet bed that has a cover to keep them warm. They are super plush too and comfy. Chewy and Petsmart have some nice ones.
I always read the comments. Lots of good info. You look beautiful as usual. 🥰 Hi Stewart. Congrats on the plaque.
Love the library and Libby. Free Audio books! 💖
Linda, I too am a book lover and for years had resisted getting a kindle. Because of the pandemic, and not wanting to visit the library, I bought a kindle and am "hooked"! No trips back and forth to the library and handling books that others have handled. I also find I am reading so much more because it's so convenient! Thanks for all the tips for making life easier!
But, there is something about holding the book in my hands....I have a Kindle fire and kindle, which are handy, but books are where I really love to go...
@@lydiaellisor4090 I don't like reading magazines or garden books on Kindle, but Kindle is the only way I read a novel these days. I usually fall asleep with a book in my hand, and now I don't have to worry with losing my place. Kindle is also the only way I can read a book without glasses these days, which is also great for bedtime reading, as well as not having to use a bedside lamp.
I was reluctant, too, but I LOVE my Kindle Fire. I do a lot of driving and also gardening and I don't mind the computer-voice on it at all so I use it mostly as a book on tape kind of device. I never learned a lot of navigation features and I don't like it for cookbooks, but otherwise it is a total winner for me.
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND.
Comment 2 😁 Congratulations to you and Stewart on the RUclips award!!! Well deserved!
Love many of these ideas and already do several. I love magazines too. I take a picture of ideas, recipes etc that I want to save. I file them on my phone. I can sort them or send them to my email address and file them in appropriate folders. Too much bulk to save magazines. A friend and I subscribed to different magazines and swap them when we are finished. I love that your home is lovely but also very lived in. (That is a compliment.) Many folks show their home and it is devoid of personality - looks staged as if anyone could live there. I like authentic homes. Thanks for sharing.
You look so pretty standing next to the black lamp (with the red shade) wearing your red top and black and cream scarf! ☺️
🙏🙏
Congratulations on your RUclips award! Love all your tips! 🌷❤️🤗
Do not take for granted the luxury of being able to stay in bed and read. Many people like myself would love to do that and are not able to. Great products and ideas shown today. 🌸
I promise I never do. It is a true luxury I seldom can enjoy. 💗
Congrats to you and Stewart on the RUclips award!! Love love love ❤️ the Libby app!! I’m always reading a book, sometimes two and a magazine 😊 the idea of tearing out the page in the magazine you want to keep and save “by month, holiday etc” is brilliant !! I fold all my plastic bags into little triangles and put in the bottom of all my bath trash cans. Thanks for all your great videos!! Love them all as always full of great tips and ideas!!!
Nice cutting board. Give board a good scrub with half a lemon and salt. Rinse let dry then coat with mineral oil. It will last you for a lifetime.
I love felt pads for everything also. Love the broom. That's for me. I side tuck into a jean pocket think it was and 80's thing. ha ha
Lost a diamond in my wedding band before Christmas. At the jewelers for estimate he said "please don't wear until it is repaired. All but one of your stones are loose". You should have your rings examined every year. I'm wearing a cocktail ring.
Love Johnny's scarf. It makes you smile and happy. Congrats on RUclips award.
Suggestion... putting a space heater in bathroom before taking a shower or bath to prevent yourself from using HOT water that will dry your skin out!!
I just love all your videos!! Thank you 😊
Hats off to Linda & Stewart on achieving the 100,000 subscriber milestone! Storing reusable plastic bags in a tissue box is a good tip-thanks. Will keep one in the pantry and garage.
Bravo to you and Stewart on receiving this well-deserved RUclips award. Thanks for the Libby app recommendation. My husband and I are avid library borrower/supporters. To help downsize my magazine collection, I keep a few in the kitchen to peruse while cooking dinner. Then, I donate non-keepers to my library's popular used magazine pile. Greetings from cloudy, 37 degree zone 6A CT.
Great idea👍
The Libby Ap suggestion is GOLD! I had no idea there was such a thing. You are an angel!
I lose my reading glasses but not sure the key-finder would work for those. Great video Linda!! Love these videos you are doing ❤️
I’m glad to learn that you can plant out forced bulbs. Years ago someone told me they wouldn’t survive if they’d been forced and I took it as gospel. Your hyacinths might just inspire me to raid the shelves of Trader Joe’s, I love their scent and color.
I'm growing hostas in water inside, who knew.
I got myself a cell phone cover that has 10 credit card slots, plus driver license window and coin purse part. Best $14. - I ever spend. It eliminates having to carry (or search for) 3 different articles, running to the store means: get keys and cell phone and I'm set. However, for more formal occasions I do carry a handbag and for this I purchase a "bag light", no more black hole in my handbag. -- To hang up my boom, shovel etc I use big binder rings (Dollar Tree's a best), the rings are thinner and the article therefore hangs neater on the hook. -- I also got new electric timers that have 2 outlets on them since I like table lamps for ambiance and too lazy to turn each one on, problem solved with these timers. - so these are my "Make life easier" for 2022.
My husband laughs at how I have so many lights on timers but I love them, especially with all the lights used for decorations during the holidays.
The best new gadgets (to me) that makes my life easier are: a robotic vacuum, electric kettle, smart wifi bulbs/plug ins, and a under the desk elliptical pedaler. Always enjoy you vids. Have a great day Linda!
Thanks for the tips Dixiegirl! I LOVE my electric kettle too!
Congratulations to you and Stewart on your You Tube award. Love your videos.!
The metal and glass table in your bedroom is so familiar ! I had one just like it, I think it came from Bombay Company. So excited to be reminded - one of the glass shelves broke and I used a recycled square tile to replace. Loved that table.. (Sometimes I just stop listening and look at all your stuff - please do not be offended by that - I just find your videos inspirational visually I can relax just looking. ) Thank you.
Linda, try a heated mattress cover! They have dual controls for partner preference.they even have ones that have cooling abilities too. Best bedding purchase!
Tell me more please! My husband is always cold and I’m back and forth.❤️❤️
@@jeanettedombroski3934 I just use a heated small lap blanket. I put it underneath my body and it has an adjustable control. It's so small so there's no commitment to where it is (my feet, my legs). I have one at my work desk too and I sit on it. They are super affordable and lifechanging.
@@spunkycat6144 oh cute. 💕💕💕
Not only do I do the different color purse, I gave each one of my friends bright pink ones. They love them! Plus, I couldn't help noticing your painting. I actually have that tea pot. Great to see it in oil! 😁
Really?!?
Hi Linda. I too put grocery bags into empty tissue boxes. Depends on which jeans I wear and what top I’m wearing if I use a belt. Congratulations to you and Stewart on your milestone RUclips award.
Love the gorgeous green plates next to the refrigerator!
Linda, I discovered your RUclips channel a few weeks ago and I’ve been completely hooked on watching your recordings. You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. I’ve gleaned a number of great ideas from you. You have wonderful taste and I love your style. I too enjoy thrifting and appreciate all of your tips. I am A librarian and Grateful for your promotion of public libraries and reading. I was incredibly impressed with your shout out for the Libby app, you explained how do use it so well. You really made my day. Thank you, Gail
Welcome!
I'm with you on heating pads, but I've made fabric bags that I fill with rice and pop in the microwave. Pretty neat tips today, thanks.
Yes these are as indispensable as frozen peas...for cold on injuries!
I use tube socks, tie another in the end...
You inspired me to polish my earrings too. I’m doing them one per day, and all of a sudden, I have a whole new beautiful wardrobe of bright shiny earrings and jewelry. Thank you!
Isn’t it fun?!
Congratulations to you and Stewart on your award! I am cold all the time. I keep a heated throw in my chair and electric blanket on my bed. I also keep an electric heater in my closet as well. I love these series of tips they are very helpful. Thank you for bringing us into your home and life. God has given you special talents and you use them so well. I have a quote....Don't sweat the small stuff life is too short. ❤
Yes I wear a belt in my jeans. My daughter gave me this tip. Men's belts last longer, they are a bit wider and fill the belt loops better. It's amazing how much more expensive and better quality they look. Often I buy a man's belt cut the buckle off and fit one of my choice. The holes are already there if the buckle has to be stitched on. Or you can add extra decoration. I just don't like skinny belts in wide belt loops.
Congrats on the award to you and Stewart. You guys worked hard for that.
Living in Michigan I have used heating pads of years to keep me warm in the winter. While at a garage sale this summer I found and heated throw new in the package. It is perfect for my chair in the evenings ☺️ I also keep everything in my purse in different cases and they all have different patterns so I can find them quickly.
One of the reasons.i have bright blue frames for my glasses is so I can find them on my bedside table or coffee table etc. There was a time that my phone case was black, my wallet was black, my checkbook was dark navy, and the lining of my handbag was black. Chic, but never again. Color is functional!
Thank you Linda and Stewart for these informative series of videos. A nice collection to view during your quiet garden season. They are very well-presented, well-prepared and thought through. I like the tip of using the arrow stickers in books and magazines. You are a wealth of wisdom, knowledge and experience, we appreciate your presentations. Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. You’re a great team. I started watching you when there were only 10,000. Well-deserved. Lots of love from sunny, humid Sydney. Australia:
🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers! My son sent me the key finder/item locator for Christmas. The stickers for the transmitter were tiny and difficult to see. To help me remember which color button goes with which device, I have come up with the following coding system: Green-keys (G for Go), Red-(R for Remote), Blue-handbag (B for Bag), Purple-(P for Phone). I have needed it several times already. I usually don't tuck my shirt or wear a belt, however, I want to be someone who does. I also want to be someone who has a potager. 2022 goals!
No tuck, no belt. Enjoy your videos very much.
Hi Linda and Stewart.. thanks for all the wonderful videos! We truly appreciate your time and thoughts on gardening and fashion :). I wear jeans but always with a belt. No matter how tight the jeans are I feel like they will slip off if I don't have a belt! LOL. Shirts I don't tuck any more, just half tuck or let them hang! Best to you both! Susan
What a great idea using the tissue box for the groc. bags. I use the bags for my garbage cans in the bathrooms. I love your scarf. They are classic! Makes me feel dressed well when I wear a scarf.
Great tips, my favorite was magazine categorizing, I am a magazine freak!
Thanks Linda for all the wonderful tips that you give us. I always find some of them that I am going to use. I am a person that never tucks my shirt or wears a belt. I use the bags for my small trash cans in my bathrooms. My mom made me a cloth bag that hangs in my kitchen cabinet to hold my bags. I have had it for years she has been gone for 13 years. Thanks again for all your knowledge.
I love these kinds of videos!
Congratulations to you both! I look forward to your videos weekly.
Congratulations to you and Stewart! No belts and no tucking! 😊 That left a long time ago!! Have a great week!!
Good tips. Love the library app and the tissue box bag dispenser. As for tucking top into jeans - nope, I find that as I get older I have no room in there for anything other than me ..and you can therefore guess my answer to the belt question!
I got one of those key finder things for my mom who has dementia. She was always hiding things like her purse or glasses and I would get so aggravated every time we would have to go some place and the dreaded hunt for the pocketbook would begin. Just make sure the batteries are always fresh or else it won’t work.
Thank you for the 5 sip suggestion! It is also helping me drink more water!
I would put the key finder on my coffee cup! I often put it down and walk out of the room and then say where's my coffee?
I don’t tuck in my shirt because I have a tummy. I also don’t usually wear a belt, unless I belt a shirt, sweater or jacket. I also wear my clothes multiple days if they are not dirty or sweaty.
Would love some of your favorite books to read. Love all these items. Great video.
I like the half tuck and sometimes a belt, sometimes not, but I really like statement belts, with an interesting buckle or some other kind of metal on them. I love Alexandra Fuller! Which makes me wonder, what about, especially during the winter when there's less going on outside, you start adding a brief Linda's book club to your videos? There must be a lot of gardening books you like, the ones you refer to over and over again, and you can do one at a time. Just thinking out loud 💚
Great idea!
@@LindaVater I'm sure everyone would love it, but maybe make that your question of the day?
Linda, you are such an inspiration!!!
Good day, Congratulations to you both on your Utube award! That’s wonderful!!
I do not tuck in my sweater/blouse and do not wear a belt.
Just more of a comfort thing for me.
Oh you are so much fun,thanks for the super videos!
I am a Bonsai guy,but my favorite plant is a 40 year old Euphorbia Capsaintmariensis.
It is shockingly beautiful,I wish that there was a way to show it to you,you would love it!
I think stuffing a tissue box with small bags is the most clever idea. I will adopt that one. My winter cozy is a hot water bottle between the sheets about where my feet are. It warms the bed up and it's a perfect resting spot for my feet.
I have a heated twin mattress pad that I love using during the winter months. I turn it on about ten minutes before going to bed so my bed is toasty when I crawl in. Once I’m ready to go to sleep I turn it off.
I have those brooms!! My in-laws are Vietnamese and I remember the first time I saw the brooms I was surprised how great they were.
Yes!
Some random thoughts and comments: 1. Would it look very silly having a remote finder dangling from my prescription readers? Hmm, probably. But YES on the pruners! I've lost more than one pair while out in my wooded buffer, just to recover them months later looking worse for wear. 2. Just added the plastic bag holder to my Amazon list. I'm tall and tired of bending over my garbage scrap bin while peeling veggies. 3. I thought I was the only one who knows my library card number by heart! 😆 Hubby gave me some books for Christmas and although I have several pretty bookmarks, I was looking for something similar to the church missals that have a ribbon or cord attached that I could move from page to page as I'm reading. Nothing is worse than a book that slips and losing the page. My solution was quick and simple. I attached a rubber band approximately mid-way through the book, then tied a thin cord to the top and attached a shell bead to the the bottom for weight. Works like a charm and so inexpensive that I intend on passing it along with the book. Finally, 4. Yes, to the belt. If I don't, I get "saggy bottom" whenever I stand. 😉 PS 5. And may the force be with you, also. No, wait, that wasn't the quote, was it.
Oh, and one more hack. I discovered my old mags do double duty quite nicely as boot trees. Keeps them all nice and straight, less to purchase and gives me a place to "store" my magazines.
You could get a case for your readers to and tag that.
Nursing home residents also love to receive books, magazines, and assorted greeting cards. I will be using some of your tips!
I wear my shirts out with no belt. But not as cute an petite as you are size wise just because it is comfortable to me. Thanks for sharing all your ideas and info. And, I have to get me some if those brooms. Thanks, again and have a blessed and fabulous day ❤😊
My son is leaving the nest in a few weeks and I'm trying to adjust and deal. Thank you for the idea of wearing your sons scarf-I'm going to go look for something of his I can wear when he leaves ❤️
I too use tissue boxes for plastic grocery bags. I have some outdoors (in a storage box) which I use for quick pruning and weeding chores. I also have heating pads all over the house.
I’m a “tucker” but always with a belt. Thanks for sharing your items and ideas.
I could use the key finder for my cane and glasses case. I constantly leave my cane somewhere, especially when my hands are full, and this will help me remember what room I've left it in.
I live in NY, so no more plastic grocery bags. You can bring your own reusable bags or grocery stores have paper bags.
Regarding heating pads, don't forget your pets need them too in winter months. I buy K & H ones for my tomcat from Amazon. Large one for his bed outside by the back door and two for his smaller beds inside the house. He really loves them. Get them for dogs also.
I llove the British version of Country Living magazine - especially the Spring months. I have to get them at bookstore but lately hard to find. Supply chain issues maybe but I miss reading about their gardens and wildlife.
Would you ever do a what I eat in a day vlog? Just curious how you stay so skinny and do you exercise???
Funny. Thought about that this morning!
I got a chuckle when you said you might put the tracker on your phone - I too lose my phone ALL THE TIME! Love the red sweater with your sons scarf 🧣 I love to wear clothes that my sons leave behind. 💞 Half tuck….not sure about it. I’ve tried but I think I’m doing it wrong or it just looks goofy!
Thank you for mentioning and using Libby. As a retired public library customer service specialist, it’s so nice to hear people using their public library and discovering ways to make it work for them. Tips & Tricks for the win 😃👍
If you’ve got any other tips for us library obsessed folk, please share them with us!
@@LindaVater I truly believe that a libraries website is an underused resource & generally hides a number of treasures. The e-resources are quite often passed over unless someone uses the downloads but there are usually many, many others to choose from. Movies to access, Encyclopedias, archives, magazines, craft sites to learn new skills or entertain. You can almost always keep lists of books you want to read and also books you’ve already read (so you don’t get it home and realize you’ve had that one before).
Also, if your library doesn’t have a book you’re looking for, ask if they’ll purchase it for the collection! Check out the classes and programs being offered and suggest (or volunteer to teach) one if you have an idea. Seed starting perhaps!!
And lastly, check to see what materials are being loaned out…tablets, gaming systems, GoPro, Makey kits, Chromebooks, Hotspots, Adventure packs, Trail guides - it’s amazing what different libraries offer!
Have a great day everyone and make sure to check out your local public library 📚
oh! Don't go by me but I don't tuck in shirts any more because of my pot belly. Also, I don't wear belts because the buckle just emphasizes my belly protrusion. I am tired of jeans because they stretch out and I have to always hike them up due to not wearing a belt. If I were thin I would definitely be tucking in my shirts as it is a great look plus I'd definitely wear belts.
Come what may... I’m not handling it very well. On 1/10/21 I lost a sister, on 4/22/21 I lost a brother, on 5/6/21 my precious son died. I started this year still deep in grief but hopeful for a better year. 1/10/22 I lost another sister! I just found your channel and will try to use some of your tips to become more active as I have been on the couch or in bed for most of 2021.💔
Oh Barbara. I am so so sorry. The simple act of even commenting here is a demonstration of your resilience and capacity to move on in some fashion. My thoughts are with you today.
I appreciate the tips for being cold! I was always wearing bulky robes and sweatshirts around the house but now I like to wear cuddleduds--fleece or fleece lined form fitting long sleeved shirts. They keep me warm without the cumbersome bulky material.
Congratulations on the RUclips award. Well deserved.
Awesome, so genuine you are. "Come what may, you got this!
🎊👏Congratulations Linda and Stewart on getting the You Tube award. They should also have and Excellent content award. You would surpass that one in no time🍰😁
Our house is on one level (with a basement). For some reason, the furnace was located at one end of the house. The bedrooms are on the opposite end of what is quite a wide house. So the bedrooms are the coldest rooms (I would have rather had exactly the opposite!). We have a powder room that is on the warm end of the house. If the door to that room is shut, it quickly gets very warm in there. I try to remember to select what I am wearing for the day not long after getting out of bed, and place them in that powder room with the door closed. When it's time to get dressed, the clothes aren't cold, like they are when taken from the closet or chest of drawers on the opposite end of the house! Linda might find putting the space heater in her closet to be beneficial in this way, when she's going through and trying on clothes when deciding to keep or give away! Nice warm clothes to try on in the middle of winter!
Generally I don’t touch my shirt into my jeans.. yesterday I was working on my go away box and I put a belt in it... it’s a nice belt but I never wear it... I tend to wear jeans in the winter and linen pants in the summer no belt... I appreciated your video where you talked about things you can do in the winter... I will be working on my soil... you always give me something to think about... thank you... I wonder if you know P Allen Smith from Mars mountain Arkansas.... he has written several gardening books the container Gardner was the first one.. I would love to see you to team up on some kind of project.. and congratulations on getting a plaque from the RUclips people yay‼️‼️
Yes! Been up there and had a great visit with him.
I had saved magazines for years, using articles and photos with clients. Useful but cumbersome in the long run, I started tearing out pages, or photo copying pages. I made files such as window treatments, kitchen ideas, how to style bookshelves, etc. I always included a 3x5 card with notations. One file cabinet holds them, and keeps the clutter corraled.
Great ideas. I had an ah ha moment, when you spoke about your heating pad! Yes, I need that (or a hot water bottle) because my feet are always cold when I go to bed! Also, I do the exact same thing with all my magazines! I prefer putting them away per month., as I find it a great way to follow season and holiday ideas. (I never tuck in my top.... that way I hide my booty!! ) by the way...your encouraging words are exactly what I needed to hear today! It is getting a little crazy up in my part of the world. Thank you.
Hey..love your cutting board..I get my mineral oil at Walmart..very inexpensive and helps preserve my board. Also..the plastic grocery bags...Goodwill and thrift stores can use those.
I need that key finder for my hubby i'll stick it to him and to what he's holding that's about to get lost :D
Oh Linda, you must go to Amazon and get the handbag light! It is a small strand of lights that hang in your purse, it was made for this use! Love your videos, thank you and Stewart.
Hi Linda,
Whenever I need some stress-free time to myself I watch one of your videos. I love them! Thank you for this one! I'm in 7b, W. TN.
