Everything was a great idea. Most of the areas you have talked about are done in my apartment. Thanks for giving the rest of the ideas to finish my apartment.🎉
I Love your channel & all of your tips etc.❤But as far as the organizing, you have a ton of space to do this & not all of us have that kind of storage space. This makes it such a challenge for the rest of us.25:49
In the UK, an electric cordless kettle and a toaster are absolute MUST HAVES - both of these appliances are usually kept on the kitchen tops, rather than being squirelled away, as they are frequently used. I couldn't help but notice that your home is not a small/space restricted environment. Personally, if I had umpteen kitchen cupboards/drawers, a separate larder, walk-in closets, and a mud room, I could look as efficient. There's a skill to keeping a small home looking neat and well presented, in fact, it's an art form!!
When I was a young Mom, I made cross stitch sampler that said "my house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy." 72 years old now and I still live by that creed. I do admit I need to purge a lot of things, especially in my kitchen cabinets. Laundry has always been my favorite household chore. It is very relaxing to me.
Which makes it very easy to have organization, in my opinion. I don't have enough cabinet or closet space. I can't wait to move so that I can have the space that I need.
10,000 sq ft home I could hide plenty of stuff in “multi purpose storage Rooms”. I’m guessing at least a two car garage and “shed” out back. Wheeeee! There’s another minimal mom in MN 4 kids and maybe 2,500 sq ft. Nice to make these videos though for McMansions.
@@Lisa-yp9eo yes, Dawn teaches you to how to be organised without the mcmansion! this woman here isn't a minimalist, she's just a large home with plenty of storage.
Love this. My adult son and I still live together and we have adopted some routines to help keep our apartment clear and neat. He works from home and I work two jobs outside the home. It can be challenging and sometimes I do not want to do any cleaning. Dishes was the worse for us. We created a system and have stuck to it. So proud of us. 😁
My first thought was "wow, 4 kids and 2 businesses - where does she find the time??" and then hear "doing laundry at 4:30am". Ah got it! Those early morning hours are GOLD for getting sh*t done with zero interruption. It makes so much sense now lol.
You have a beautiful home! I’ve always thought the difference between a tidy person and a messy person is a couple of minutes. You’ve demonstrated that very effectively!
Even though you’re used to keeping your home clean, I notice you’re really good at envisioning the common problem areas of a home and coming up with practical solutions/advice. Thanks!
Btw, some of you are commenting on Andrea Jean’s figure in a way that borders on body-shaming 🫢 Let’s all be grateful for these videos and leave Andrea Jean’s personal business alone. We are here to soak in her knowledge, expertise, and be a entertained, too!
Watching this video was like getting a crash course in home cleanliness! The tips are straightforward and manageable, making it easy for anyone to keep their space clean and welcoming.
I was mad at the title "27 daily habbits" like who can add 27 new habits over night? But most of them are common sense "clean as you go" habits. Nothing new, just a reminder to stop leaving mess and get rid of crap
Andrea, I found this your Best video Ever!!! So many helpful ideas. My fave concept was to keep a routine; I’ll now do my laundry Every Monday and make my bed every day! Thank you for such a professional, positive video. I’m such a fan!
Loved all the tips. I have started setting the delay on my washing machine so that when I get up, the load is ready for the dryer. My husband actually makes the bed every morning since he's the last one out. Best video you've done. Bravo.
This was so helpful for someone like myself who struggles sometimes to do house cleaning due to on and off depression/apathy, but your tips actually made me smile, especially about laundry (I've really had a bad relationship with myself and the task of laundry) -- it was total "inspo" for the day. I really appreciate this, and you said something like "I don't have a perfect life," and it just made everything like - deep breath - it's all going to be okay, we're human. Thank you Andrea!!!
I love how you said 'a body in motion stays in motion'. I've said this quite a few times and it is so true. Glad to hear it coming from someone else! Also, the way I avoid clutter is using the 'one in, one out rule'. Been doing this for many, many years. Long before decluttering became popular. But it works!
Your house is beautiful and has so many spaces to keep clutter away. You did make me want to get up and clean. Mission accomplished! I love that you talk about only buying what you need. Earth thanks you!
I so enjoy your videos. My problem is that I live in a tiny apartment, 490 Sq. Ft, so it is extremely difficult to find ways of organizing. I have one closet in my bedroom for my clothes, and it is not a walk-in closet either. I have to put out of season clothing in storage. It is impossible to keep my kitchen counter clutter free because there is no space for things like my blender. Maybe you have done one, but tips for very small spaces would be nice.
Put bed risers under your bed, and store stuff under there, like out of season clothes. Store extra sheets and blankets between the mattress and box spring. Add shelves a foot from the ceiling anywhere you can, put less used items, books, pantry goods up there. Hide it in opaque bins or baskets. Put hooks and racks on the back of doors.
I lived comfortably in 375 sq feet with two hairless cats lol. Get a loft bed! I got an IKEA one used on Craigslist and LOVED it! I also got a tiny couch from IKEA (back when they were inexpensive). I got a trunk to use as a coffee table/storage container. It helped that I lived in Texas and didn’t need as much winter stuff. Now I live in Florida (even warmer), so I can’t help you with the winter stuff except to say maybe store vertical. I didn’t need to do this, but if you’re allowed to hang simple shelves, you can put a Dollar Tree bin on each shelf. Or you could get a second-hand bookshelf to use for storage. Add a cute curtain from a thrift store to cover the front (affix it to the top of the bookshelf somehow).
This video was so helpful. Best tip for me was the entryway/mudroom. I don't have one. So I need to be better at teaching everyone to hang up their coats and bags. Thanks for another great video
I love your videos! My hubby and I just finished our retirement home build and have less stuff. Really makes a difference when you realize life doesn’t need things, we need each other. Thank you for all you do to simplify our lives!
RE: Bathroom floor.... I have a long handled swiffer hanging from my towel bar in the master bathroom. Quick, easy, effective- win, win, win!!! Thanks for posting this. It was FANTASTIC! MORE PLEASE 😃
Thank you for reminding me how to keep my home accessible, neat, clean n organized... although i do the necessary, it looks like it isnt enough, after watching your video...
Those detachable handles are actually old school, my mother had them ...from CORNING WARE! They fit on ALL the many Corning Ware cookware. So old concept is now new again!
Always keep in mind, the purpose of this awesome channel. I have gotten so many money saving tips!! I have used many of the diy's!! This is not a fashion channel. Making great videos is hard work! How many of us CAN film in our homes???
You inspire me so much! I put your videos on the weekend and I get to cleaning and organizing. Yes sometimes I have to rewind because you light a fire in my get up and go and attack mode! I just want to say thank you!
This is utterly practical and all of these tips work. I’ve also implemented many of these and have had good results over the years. But now I think I I’ll chuck my bathroom rugs, that tip makes sense to me😉
Loved all tips....I have a problem with water bottles. They drive me crazy and we all have more than 1 that we've gotten as gifts. Time to donate a few. The wine bottle rack is a great idea. Just subscribed. Thank you
Love this video. A very unpretentious presentation of valuable and reasonable ideas to improve my living space and involve my kids and spouse in the process. Glad I found you!
This was a very helpful video! Extremely eye opening was your comments about bathroom rugs! Just something I always thought we needed, rugs in the bathroom! But you're right, we probably don't wash them as often as we should, you have to vacuum or sweep around them... Good advice!
Andrea Jean! Thanks. Would love a video on organizing your fridge. It looked like you removed the veggie drawers and shelf. My fridge is a mess. I've played around w/ bins and stuff but the puzzle pieces never fit right for me. Thank you!
You are great! You've made housework enjoyable. Your family is very blessed to have you. You remind me of my daughter who loved to organize too. Thanks for the tips.❤
❤❤ just one suggestion: I imagine very few of us have as much space, especially storage space, as you do. It could be useful & reassuring to see you doing these same things in a smaller home or apartment. I do most of the things in this video and they are SUPER helpful. But my home doesn't have a mud room or even a foyer. All entry is from the front door directly into the living room. (There is no access to the back from the street). I have no attic or basement for storage. I'm sure I'm not alone.
I loved this video! I was happy to see that I've already a lot of these habits. One habit I've just started doing is closing the lid of my toilet before I flush. Take a black light to your toilet area and you'll see why! One thing I'd love is if you love a product or found a great cleaning tool, include a link in case viewers want to get it.
Great tips from staying organized showing ur kids to be organized and cleaning the bathroom everyday and counters from the bathroom everyday! This is great! Im glad we can enjoy cleaning now in days
Love your tips and motivation. Gotten the bathroom organized and clean top to bottom. Starting other areas and it feels so good to let go of the choas.
I have problems with winter season storage of boots , shoes, comforters, winter coats etc. because I live in an apartment. I can't be too much of a minimalist because of what I do. Trying to figure that out. Any ideas? Thanks.
Love your ideas. My house is not as big but your ideas offer inspiration. For example I don’t have a mud room but I could get a book shelf with hooks. We need to be creative using your ideas as a starting point. Thanks
I love your jeans! I find you tips refreshing. I have done a few over the years, but not super consistently. The last six months or so I have implemented things like this and the stupid amount junk I have donated or tossed is nuts 😅
Great video! I have a tip about the electric toothbrushes, they actually last longer if you don’t constantly have them on the charger. The battery lasts a few weeks before it “beep beeps” at you to charge it. It’s better for the life of the battery inside the toothbrush to not keep it plugged in all the time. And, bonus… there’s two more things you can get off your bathroom counter.
I just recieved a set of pots and pans like what you have! Like you in a small kitchen area I adore mine! I cannot express to people how wonderful this set is if you are working in a very small area.
@@s.131 mine are Country Kitchen space saving I personally received the 13 piece set and I really adore it. I have such a tiny kitchen it has been a tremendous help in keeping things neat, tidy, and organized.
Thank you for your videos. I've watched for awhile now. Many things I do already. My friends tease me when they see my clothes hanging in color by alphabet order. However I've done that for years. I got tired of searching for a item in a sea of colors. I also make my bed every day. Just looks so nice and feels good when climbing in at night. I'm retired now, however I can relate to your life. Been there. ❤
i like the idea of making your closet look pretty bc my closet is the main thing i need to declutter (it’s basically just become a junk room). i also don’t have a dresser and have been trying to figure out how to store my clothes but like there’s no room in my closet (hence the decluttering lol)
I love all your tips. My question is: you live in an older home with next to no storage to put things away, how do you make your home look uncluttered?
Put your bed on risers, and store stuff under it in bins. Put racks and hooks on the back of doors. Put shelves around rooms a foot from the ceiling, to store less frequently used items, and out of season stuff in bins.
We also live in a small older home. 2 bdr/2 bath about 1100 sq ft. Over the past 6 months I’ve been ruthlessly decluttering. Not organizing just minimizing every nook, cranny, drawer, closet, cabinet, everything. I have donated bags & bags of clothes, household items furniture etc… We now only have what we need, use or love.
❤❤❤ Thank you Andrea Jean, as always, this video was very helpful. I also keep a cleaning routine in my home, and I too have downsized to keep it clutter-free.
Hi Andrea Jean great tips!! One question you said train yourself and kids to put things where they belong. However, when I was in school, many, many, many years ago a teacher was very clear on this point. People are teachable, animals are trained. People should use their brains, animals are trained by repeating actions over and over again. I've heard other people say exactly how you said it. Does it matter what word is used. Now days people use words differently from years ago. I'd appreciate if you'd tell me which is correct or if it even matters anymore. Thank you.
I really like your honesty about things. You have helped where did buy your pots and pans from with the detachable handles? And what kind of pots are they? I would love to pare down some of the cookware I never ever use!
Yes, I totally agree with no bathroom rugs!! And I don't like going to other people's houses and stepping on them, especially without my shoes on, because I can tell by looking at them they don't get washed enough, lol.
My husband just bought me two sets of those pots and pans I absolutely love them and yes it cuts down a lot I throw away everything but those it made me feel so good
Great video, Andrea! Thanks for sharing practical ways to keep an organized house. Use products you love is a great tip! Having them in each room is also practical. Thanks for this content!
I enjoy watching your videos. We actually have 3 tiny closets in our entire house. Do you have any tips to organize a tiny closet? We actually have a small home without a panty. Any tips on organizing a small kitchen and/or small house? Also you did a video that I can't find on cleaning the bathroom toilet. For some reason we have some stains in the toilet that I can't get off. I thought that you used a product Hydro something. I can't remember the name of it. Please help....
Thank you. Love this video as it helps me stay motivated. Moved into a new home so in the midst of unpacking while also having to do reairs and some remodeling. Can't wait for the construction dust to be gone. Feel blessed to be able to do the projects, though! Looking forward to more videos like this.
Do u take any Energizer or vitamins everyday that keeps u going?..☺️ bcoz we are the same I'm also a mom of 4, but the 3 are all grown ups.. but I salute u knowing the fact that they are all little & still u have lots of energy to organized/ clean ur whole house🥰
It's easy to have places for things in the bathroom when you have lots of cabinet space a drawers. Mine has a small vanity (not much storage space under or on top) and NO drawers.
Use a bin or tote to corral your products under the sink. Do your makeup in the bedroom. Hang your hair dryer on the back of a vanity door, or on the side of the vanity.
Beautiful home snd and a lot of great tips. I would love to see a video on smaller spaces. I went from a three bedroom home to an apartment. Its just me now (daughter is grown) but the thing i have the biggest problem decluttering is sentimental items. My daughters things from birth 😔 and a lot from my parents. I just cant bring myself to get rid of them, but, its just too much. Ugh
Beautifully presented, fantastic tips, AND LINKS! A lot of people complain about links. But imma need those pots and pans, preferably a smaller set there’s only 2 adults and a teen here, but I love it all thank you!!!! ❤
Came in from trashing, recycling, purging (donating E.U.C. items) and u were autoplayed after a video inwas watching and yay, u just got done saying how we should allow ourself some grace when it comes to organize our homes. Feelin nearly beat down cuz of older age and asthma, I needed to hear that right then. Aging has me doin less chores im purging my items before i get too sick and old to get my house back ip to par. Makes sense to have a routine thanks for showing ur examples of the routine. Cant wait to not be busy and sit and watch but ima listen while im getting more stuff in their specific categories so i.can get back control.thank uu
I also loved seeing in your fridge. You use clear containers- game changer. I have dark/ opaque containers that no one seems to see the veggies I’ve cut up for easy eating when I use them. I’m going to start using clear like you do.
Hi Andrea! Were we separated at birth?!😂 You are a woman of my own heart! I love cleaning and organizing. If things in my house are cluttered, it totally affects my mood. I am constantly clearing things out, throwing away, or donating items. My clothes in my closet are sorted by sleeve (or pant) length and color. I grocery shop a few times a week, too, so I don’t keep a lot of food stocked. My cabinets and refrigerator are all very organized. If there is too much stuff/ food then I have to purge junk out. The thought of expired items/ food grosses me out. Yuck! Old stuff just sitting there taking up space…. Blech! 🤢 And we don’t wear shoes in the house! Yucko! 😜 I love watching your videos to get great tips on cleaning and organizing! You inspire me and bring joy to my heart!😊🩷✨
Great tips here.Thanks! But just as an aside, Mom’s are allowed to eat in the living room, and do whatever else they want in their house. It’s their house! They’re the adult, and the children. . . well, they’re not. Yes, be a good example to your kids, but you do not have to explain your behaviors or habits to them, or defend yourself when they call you out. We do need to apologize to our kids when needed, of course. Absolutely! But, let them know that when they’re grownup and in their own homes, they can do whatever they want. (I’m a Mom, teacher, and parenting educator.)
Another fantastic video, Andrea! I'm already doing some of these "Tricks", but I need to really learn to stick to it every day,every week,and every month! Love, Faith Falcone
Weekly e-mails are good timing to my perspective right now. I will definitely think about the e-mail subscription as I am broadening my seasonal opportunities in supporting this alternative living arrangement (as both a seasonal worker & sole proprietor), and hope to remember to add when I figure out how to manage this device thing !
Excellent video and very motivational. I liked all your ideas, but making sure you have a dedicated place for what you bring into your home really spoke to me. That alone reduces clutter and makes it easier to clean your home and that's what I need to work on. I enjoyed your presentation and specific ways to make our tasks not so overwhelming.
I realize I need to tweak a few things, thanks for the reminder! I had been going through accumulated papers maybe every quarter or six months (!) and will move that to monthly. My space has little to no built in storage so I have a "warehouse" decor going on. It looks like clutter to everyone else! So paring things down is definitely in order. And, maybe I will designate an everything room to put the majority of the bins so the rest of the place can breathe. Anyone else have this problem? Empty space is seen as an opportunity to put more stuff rather than keeping a peaceful vibe? And one last idea. If you absolutely must have a rug in the bath room, get those mats that are a thicker type of towel. Then at least weekly swap it out (or more frequently). And make sure it dries out between uses. I just throw it in with the towels and have about 4 so I can easily replace them in case the cat uses it. If you are wearing indoor shoes the need for rugs kinda goes away (in case your home is hardwood/tiles flooring like mine). Pat on the back to your video production partner: Very good camera work, editing and the prep you guys must be doing to get these shots (!). Just phenomenal! If you are looking for more video ideas: How about how you learned all these things about yourself? So many people (like me) are clutter blind so cannot relate to the impact home environment is having. Also, it would be fascinating to hear how you became a business owner.
I just found your channel and all I can say is wow, we really think alike! I already do a lot of the things you suggested. I also agree with a lot of the points you made.
I noticed that you keep your salad spinner in the fridge with greens in it! Tell me more about this, I've never seen that hack before! I assume it keeps the greens dry?
Very impressed Andrea!! Thank you, your videos are so well done, appreciate the details you’ve thought of! Love how you went through your home in detail! Would also love your morning & evening routines. 4am!!! 4 kids! Working! How do you get to bed early enough to wake-up at 4???
The space for storage/organisation is the dream. My current bedroom is the size of your closet 😂 Moving soon though hopefully. But the tidy as you go is a great way. I just often get side tracked by my silly brain
You have a beautiful home it's so organized I love it❤😊❤ I love the water bottle and quencher cup holder❤ I've got to get one of those tomorrow😂😂 great video see you in the next one❤

Hello…I’m looking for your granite cleaning video. Thank you!
I hear you about the laundry! I use a laundromat and love rolling up my towels. Almost hypnotic.
😂 I can do laundry all day long! It's the putting away!
This is an enormous house with an extraordinary amount of cupboards and closets!
Which makes it very easy to have organization, in my opinion. I don't have enough cabinet or closet space. I can't wait to move so that I can have the space that I need.
BIG TIME!
That combined closet space is bigger than our entire house!
10,000 sq ft home I could hide plenty of stuff in “multi purpose storage Rooms”. I’m guessing at least a two car garage and “shed” out back. Wheeeee! There’s another minimal mom in MN 4 kids and maybe 2,500 sq ft.

Getting rid of stuff is what helps me the most! Nice to hear it again and that how “stuff” adds to that cluttered feeling.

You inspire me so much! I put your videos on the weekend and I get to cleaning and organizing. Yes sometimes I have to rewind because you light a fire in my get up and go and attack mode! I just want to say thank you!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is utterly practical and all of these tips work. I’ve also implemented many of these and have had good results over the years. But now I think I I’ll chuck my bathroom rugs, that tip makes sense to me😉
Loved all tips....I have a problem with water bottles. They drive me crazy and we all have more than 1 that we've gotten as gifts. Time to donate a few. The wine bottle rack is a great idea. Just subscribed. Thank you
Love this video. A very unpretentious presentation of valuable and reasonable ideas to improve my living space and involve my kids and spouse in the process. Glad I found you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was a very helpful video! Extremely eye opening was your comments about bathroom rugs! Just something I always thought we needed, rugs in the bathroom! But you're right, we probably don't wash them as often as we should, you have to vacuum or sweep around them... Good advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Andrea Jean! Thanks. Would love a video on organizing your fridge. It looked like you removed the veggie drawers and shelf. My fridge is a mess. I've played around w/ bins and stuff but the puzzle pieces never fit right for me. Thank you!
Will do!!
Vinyl Matt outside of the shower... BRILLIANT!!
Gm andrea!! Thanks for all your cleaning expertise , and your advice with bathroom rugs etc.. we appreciate you inviting us into your gorgeous home !!
You are so welcome!
This is one of the best videos about cleaning and organization that I’ve seen to date! Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you!
You are great! You've made housework enjoyable. Your family is very blessed to have you. You remind me of my daughter who loved to organize too. Thanks for the tips.❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks Andrea Jean! My super fave tip is the space saving cookware and no rugs in bathrooms (especially in Florida)
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤ just one suggestion: I imagine very few of us have as much space, especially storage space, as you do. It could be useful & reassuring to see you doing these same things in a smaller home or apartment. I do most of the things in this video and they are SUPER helpful. But my home doesn't have a mud room or even a foyer. All entry is from the front door directly into the living room. (There is no access to the back from the street). I have no attic or basement for storage. I'm sure I'm not alone.
You are a genius! I love Minnesotans. I live in AZ, Minnesota is where I grew up🎉😊 Thank you for you wonderful tips.
You are so welcome!
I loved this video! I was happy to see that I've already a lot of these habits. One habit I've just started doing is closing the lid of my toilet before I flush. Take a black light to your toilet area and you'll see why! One thing I'd love is if you love a product or found a great cleaning tool, include a link in case viewers want to get it.

Great tips from staying organized showing ur kids to be organized and cleaning the bathroom everyday and counters from the bathroom everyday! This is great! Im glad we can enjoy cleaning now in days
Thank you so much 😊
I love the body in motion rule.
Love your tips and motivation. Gotten the bathroom organized and clean top to bottom. Starting other areas and it feels so good to let go of the choas.
Love that!
You make me want to be a better person. I’m so serious. You inspire the heck out of me❤
🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰
I LIVE by the OHIO rule for my place. I live in 250 square feet, so even small messes look big. Keeping my place clean and organized is a must!
I'm guilty of the master BR dumping ground. I'm working on that. Thanks for the reminder.
I have problems with winter season storage of boots , shoes, comforters, winter coats etc. because I live in an apartment. I can't be too much of a minimalist because of what I do. Trying to figure that out.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Love your ideas. My house is not as big but your ideas offer inspiration. For example I don’t have a mud room but I could get a book shelf with hooks. We need to be creative using your ideas as a starting point. Thanks
I love your jeans! I find you tips refreshing. I have done a few over the years, but not super consistently. The last six months or so I have implemented things like this and the stupid amount junk I have donated or tossed is nuts 😅
Love that!
Great video! I have a tip about the electric toothbrushes, they actually last longer if you don’t constantly have them on the charger. The battery lasts a few weeks before it “beep beeps” at you to charge it. It’s better for the life of the battery inside the toothbrush to not keep it plugged in all the time. And, bonus… there’s two more things you can get off your bathroom counter.
Thanks for making organizing seem so achievable
You’re welcome 😊
I really look forward to your videos Miss Andrea Jean! I just love your content 💗
Thank you so much!
I just recieved a set of pots and pans like what you have! Like you in a small kitchen area I adore mine! I cannot express to people how wonderful this set is if you are working in a very small area.
That is awesome!
What brand are the pots & pans? Ty
@@s.131 mine are Country Kitchen space saving I personally received the 13 piece set and I really adore it. I have such a tiny kitchen it has been a tremendous help in keeping things neat, tidy, and organized.
Thank you for your videos. I've watched for awhile now. Many things I do already. My friends tease me when they see my clothes hanging in color by alphabet order. However I've done that for years. I got tired of searching for a item in a sea of colors. I also make my bed every day. Just looks so nice and feels good when climbing in at night. I'm retired now, however I can relate to your life. Been there. ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
i like the idea of making your closet look pretty bc my closet is the main thing i need to declutter (it’s basically just become a junk room). i also don’t have a dresser and have been trying to figure out how to store my clothes but like there’s no room in my closet (hence the decluttering lol)
💕💕💕
I really appreciate that you feel the same way I do about bathroom rugs... they are gross and tend to smell. I do not use them either. ❤🎉
Thanks for sharing!!
My husband bought that exact set of pots and pans... for our induction burner that he takes to Texas for the winter.
I love all your tips. My question is: you live in an older home with next to no storage to put things away, how do you make your home look uncluttered?
Excellent question. My home is 40 yrs old. No storage. 🤷🏻♀️
Put your bed on risers, and store stuff under it in bins. Put racks and hooks on the back of doors. Put shelves around rooms a foot from the ceiling, to store less frequently used items, and out of season stuff in bins.
We also live in a small older home. 2 bdr/2 bath about 1100 sq ft. Over the past 6 months I’ve been ruthlessly decluttering. Not organizing just minimizing every nook, cranny, drawer, closet, cabinet, everything. I have donated bags & bags of clothes, household items furniture etc… We now only have what we need, use or love.
This reminds me of raising our five children. Now, they're all adults. I had a whole system for every day. I still stick to that a little bit.
❤❤❤ Thank you Andrea Jean, as always, this video was very helpful. I also keep a cleaning routine in my home, and I too have downsized to keep it clutter-free.
Wonderful!
Hi Andrea Jean great tips!! One question you said train yourself and kids to put things where they belong. However, when I was in school, many, many, many years ago a teacher was very clear on this point. People are teachable, animals are trained. People should use their brains, animals are trained by repeating actions over and over again.
I've heard other people say exactly how you said it. Does it matter what word is used. Now days people use words differently from years ago. I'd appreciate if you'd tell me which is correct or if it even matters anymore. Thank you.
I really like your honesty about things. You have helped where did buy your pots and pans from with the detachable handles? And what kind of pots are they? I would love to pare down some of the cookware I never ever use!
Linked in the description box ❤️
Yes, I totally agree with no bathroom rugs!! And I don't like going to other people's houses and stepping on them, especially without my shoes on, because I can tell by looking at them they don't get washed enough, lol.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your closet is amazing! And your kitchen and pantry are huge!
Thank you!! 😊
My husband just bought me two sets of those pots and pans I absolutely love them and yes it cuts down a lot I throw away everything but those it made me feel so good
That is awesome!
Great video, Andrea! Thanks for sharing practical ways to keep an organized house. Use products you love is a great tip! Having them in each room is also practical. Thanks for this content!
You are so welcome!
Loved this. First time watching you and my favorite take away was the laundry tip. Thank you!
I enjoy watching your videos. We actually have 3 tiny closets in our entire house. Do you have any tips to organize a tiny closet? We actually have a small home without a panty. Any tips on organizing a small kitchen and/or small house?
Also you did a video that I can't find on cleaning the bathroom toilet. For some reason we have some stains in the toilet that I can't get off. I thought that you used a product Hydro something. I can't remember the name of it. Please help....
Stay tuned ❤️
Thank you. Love this video as it helps me stay motivated. Moved into a new home so in the midst of unpacking while also having to do reairs and some remodeling. Can't wait for the construction dust to be gone. Feel blessed to be able to do the projects, though! Looking forward to more videos like this.
Wonderful!
A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest.. truer words have not been spoken.

My kid started helping with laundry at 3 , now at 19 doing his own. It’s important for them to do their own
I love fabric softener too! Always makes you smell like fresh laundry!
Oh, yes, love those pots and pans you showed. Where did you get them?
Linked in the description box 👍
Do u take any Energizer or vitamins everyday that keeps u going?..☺️ bcoz we are the same I'm also a mom of 4, but the 3 are all grown ups.. but I salute u knowing the fact that they are all little & still u have lots of energy to organized/ clean ur whole house🥰
Lol nope just coffee 😍
Fabulous ! Starting on ALL your top 10 & now I’m listening to this video👏👏💪🙌♥️❣️❣️❣️
It's easy to have places for things in the bathroom when you have lots of cabinet space a drawers. Mine has a small vanity (not much storage space under or on top) and NO drawers.
Get an over the door shoe holder for your bathroom stuff!
Use a bin or tote to corral your products under the sink. Do your makeup in the bedroom. Hang your hair dryer on the back of a vanity door, or on the side of the vanity.
Hi, I think you have my bathroom. 😏no vanity area and no drawers.who does this to us? Have a fun day.
@@stevesmom9868 That's my hooks for robes and clothes that may have only been worn for a couple hours ( not dirty enough to wash).
@@quiltingmell Sometimes you can get a tall, narrow shelving unit that will fit somewhere, and use baskets on each shelf.
Beautiful home snd and a lot of great tips. I would love to see a video on smaller spaces. I went from a three bedroom home to an apartment. Its just me now (daughter is grown) but the thing i have the biggest problem decluttering is sentimental items. My daughters things from birth 😔 and a lot from my parents. I just cant bring myself to get rid of them, but, its just too much. Ugh
Beautifully presented, fantastic tips, AND LINKS! A lot of people complain about links. But imma need those pots and pans, preferably a smaller set there’s only 2 adults and a teen here, but I love it all thank you!!!! ❤
Thank you so kindly! ❤️❤️❤️
Came in from trashing, recycling, purging (donating E.U.C. items) and u were autoplayed after a video inwas watching and yay, u just got done saying how we should allow ourself some grace when it comes to organize our homes. Feelin nearly beat down cuz of older age and asthma, I needed to hear that right then. Aging has me doin less chores im purging my items before i get too sick and old to get my house back ip to par. Makes sense to have a routine thanks for showing ur examples of the routine. Cant wait to not be busy and sit and watch but ima listen while im getting more stuff in their specific categories so i.can get back control.thank uu
I also loved seeing in your fridge. You use clear containers- game changer. I have dark/ opaque containers that no one seems to see the veggies I’ve cut up for easy eating when I use them. I’m going to start using clear like you do.
Great idea!!
Hi Andrea! Were we separated at birth?!😂 You are a woman of my own heart! I love cleaning and organizing. If things in my house are cluttered, it totally affects my mood. I am constantly clearing things out, throwing away, or donating items. My clothes in my closet are sorted by sleeve (or pant) length and color. I grocery shop a few times a week, too, so I don’t keep a lot of food stocked. My cabinets and refrigerator are all very organized. If there is too much stuff/ food then I have to purge junk out. The thought of expired items/ food grosses me out. Yuck! Old stuff just sitting there taking up space…. Blech! 🤢 And we don’t wear shoes in the house! Yucko! 😜
I love watching your videos to get great tips on cleaning and organizing! You inspire me and bring joy to my heart!😊🩷✨
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great tips here.Thanks! But just as an aside, Mom’s are allowed to eat in the living room, and do whatever else they want in their house. It’s their house! They’re the adult, and the children. . . well, they’re not. Yes, be a good example to your kids, but you do not have to explain your behaviors or habits to them, or defend yourself when they call you out. We do need to apologize to our kids when needed, of course. Absolutely! But, let them know that when they’re grownup and in their own homes, they can do whatever they want. (I’m a Mom, teacher, and parenting educator.)
Well said!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🩷🤗🙏🏽🌷🌼🌸
💐Thanks. Have just lived and learned.
I eat lunch in the living room 😅 but my kids can only eat in the kitchen...because they NEVER pick up their things and I do.
Another fantastic video, Andrea! I'm already doing some of these "Tricks", but I need to really learn to stick to it every day,every week,and every month! Love, Faith Falcone
Wonderful!
Thank you Andrea for these great tips.
You're so welcome. ❤️
Weekly e-mails are good timing to my perspective right now. I will definitely think about the e-mail subscription as I am broadening my seasonal opportunities in supporting this alternative living arrangement (as both a seasonal worker & sole proprietor), and hope to remember to add when I figure out how to manage this device thing !
Excellent video and very motivational. I liked all your ideas, but making sure you have a dedicated place for what you bring into your home really spoke to me. That alone reduces clutter and makes it easier to clean your home and that's what I need to work on. I enjoyed your presentation and specific ways to make our tasks not so overwhelming.
Yes! Thank you!
what do u do if u only have a very small closet?
I realize I need to tweak a few things, thanks for the reminder! I had been going through accumulated papers maybe every quarter or six months (!) and will move that to monthly.
My space has little to no built in storage so I have a "warehouse" decor going on. It looks like clutter to everyone else! So paring things down is definitely in order. And, maybe I will designate an everything room to put the majority of the bins so the rest of the place can breathe. Anyone else have this problem? Empty space is seen as an opportunity to put more stuff rather than keeping a peaceful vibe?
And one last idea. If you absolutely must have a rug in the bath room, get those mats that are a thicker type of towel. Then at least weekly swap it out (or more frequently). And make sure it dries out between uses. I just throw it in with the towels and have about 4 so I can easily replace them in case the cat uses it. If you are wearing indoor shoes the need for rugs kinda goes away (in case your home is hardwood/tiles flooring like mine).
Pat on the back to your video production partner: Very good camera work, editing and the prep you guys must be doing to get these shots (!). Just phenomenal!
If you are looking for more video ideas: How about how you learned all these things about yourself? So many people (like me) are clutter blind so cannot relate to the impact home environment is having. Also, it would be fascinating to hear how you became a business owner.
Love it! ❤️❤️❤️ and thank you so much 🙏
I just found your channel and all I can say is wow, we really think alike! I already do a lot of the things you suggested. I also agree with a lot of the points you made.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is a lovely video! I would love to know your tips for those of us who live in small, outdated homes without tons of storage
I love your videos! Great ideas. I'm going to implement several in my home. You rock, lady!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for all your tips. You inspire me to get more items off the counters😁
I'm so glad!
I’ve got so much out of this video thank you very much and I love all your videos and contents 😊😊
Glad you like them!
I just realized you had a link for the pots and pans, thank you!❤ Enjoy your day. 😊
Yes! Thank you!
For UK the equivalent is Tefal, not sure they do them in AJ's cream colour
Thank you so much to keep us informed of the wonderful ideas . Love your living area is very clean .
So nice of you 💕😍😍
I noticed that you keep your salad spinner in the fridge with greens in it! Tell me more about this, I've never seen that hack before! I assume it keeps the greens dry?
It’s easier for me to access and less containers to clean lol 😂
Very impressed Andrea!! Thank you, your videos are so well done, appreciate the details you’ve thought of!
Love how you went through your home in detail!
Would also love your morning & evening routines. 4am!!! 4 kids! Working! How do you get to bed early enough to wake-up at 4???
Thanks so much! 😊
The space for storage/organisation is the dream. My current bedroom is the size of your closet 😂 Moving soon though hopefully. But the tidy as you go is a great way. I just often get side tracked by my silly brain
You have a beautiful home it's so organized I love it❤😊❤ I love the water bottle and quencher cup holder❤ I've got to get one of those tomorrow😂😂 great video see you in the next one❤
Thank you! 🤗
Great tips! You really encourage me and made me believe I could do it too.
You can do it!
