This video made me cry. We are not watching you because we have no clue how to scrub a toilet. We are watching you for the encouragement. Some of us are not good at self care or enjoying daily life. You are showing us how. I would watch if you came on, smiled, and then read your grocery list.
Lynn Bigner I so completely agree with this comment! I really like Diane so much and I worry about her when she’s got the blahs or seems sad like she did in part of this video. I actually try not to comment much (unsuccessfully lol) because I tend to say things wrong not just when I’m messaging but in the rest of my life. Diane’s videos make me happy. I do however need help with my decluttering and cleaning. I don’t have flylady down pat at all.
Yes, we just like to hear your cheery voice over our morning tea. I refer to you as "my friend in Denmark." You are not cluttering my life or my youtube feed. :)
Diane, you are a like-minded homemaking friend.....never a clutter. I look forward to our “chat” each day and always take away some bit of encouragement or inspiration. I’m getting more done as well so thank you!!!!
I work outside the home (I'm a nurse) 40 years now. For so very long I struggled to keep my home as the calm relaxing sanctuary that it should be. Since I have started watching you and keeping to my routines I have finally got it together. I too, consider you my friend from Denmark. It is very unlikely but if I ever found myself in Copenhagen I would want to meet up with you for a lunch or to share a cup of tea in one of those beautiful sidewalk eateries you show us when you are out. Blessings to you and your family.
This is the very video I needed. Please Diana, do not doubt that you are making an impact. I’m struggling ... very very much and I came back to your videos. You are such a breathe of fresh air. Thank you my dear. I am just going to get back on the wagon.
Diane, sometimes I just feel really down and I and I'll turn on my television to watch RUclips and if I see a new video from you no matter what the content I feel just a little better. Sometimes I feel a lot better. so your little video yesterday with all the reading in the books and music that you like and so forth create reminder to me that I'm not reading as often as I like and how much I like to read. How much doing a little reading would add to my life. Have some pretty difficult health issues and keeping up with my housework is a real struggle. But my trusty timer has made a big difference. And that idea came from you. You had such a benefit to my life I am so grateful to you.
What I’ve finally done and is a huge relief, I finally made out an entire monthly cleaning schedule and it took a long time because there were some things with the FlyLady system that didn’t work for me with small kids. Whether it’s not having an entire hour to clean on weekly home blessing, I broke it out along the week with tasks that fit my individual needs, plus added an extra day to clean things that need to be cleaned twice instead of monthly (especially with little kids) Just having a small schedule with a couple things to do each day makes me feel way less overwhelmed. I did try to do a bi-weekly schedule with those tasks but felt it would make me clean certain things too often, so with the FlyLady zones it really does help to follow but tweek it to fit your needs. Will see how it goes!
Feel the same way. I often leave my tv on and listen to/watch Diane as I work from home. Her bubbly personality keeps my spirits buoyed and I learn so much about Danish culture, food, etc. Diane's a ray of sunshine no matter what corner of the world you call home. 🌞
Diane, your a rare treasure! I'm sorry you doubt yourself sometimes. Please don't! Your style is perfectly you and it's you we love! Don't change a thing! 💕👍👏🙌
I agree 100%! I love your videos because they ARE genuine, spontaneous, funny and completely natural...like the occasional impromptu squirrel "cameo", and showing us where you stash the good chocolates (!!) Just keep doing YOU, Diane because that's who we all love and look forward to seeing every day. 🌷🐿❤🎶📚🐰🐥🕯🚴♀️🏊♀️🧣🧤💅
You are NOT cluttering up my feed! I love your videos. You are an inspiration to me, more than decluttering, even though I love that. Your attitude, your style, and your Scottish brogue are endearing!
Oh Diane never think for one second you are cluttering up our lives with the details you share. I’m sure I speak for a lot of others when I say we love you. You are a wonderful start to our day. I look forward to my mornings once I get a kick start from your sunny disposition. After my early retirement a couple of years ago I went into a slump of feeling worthless and with the thought ‘where do I go from here’. It was literally your videos that got me moving and feeling great again. So I just felt like sharing that with you. 💕
Your comments are the best compliment a youtuber could receive - too many silly videos on youtube about nothing. Such adorable positivity and encouragement 😀. How fabulous she touches lives with grace and joy.
You are my favorite person on RUclips by far, and I watch TV very infrequently. They rarely make anything I want to spend my free time on. Your presence, first and foremost, personality and kindness are a light no matter what I am facing. As for the FLYing videos, I wonder how you would feel about sharing occasionally how your routines went that day... if, for instance, you really did not want to do a load of laundry or afternoon routine and what got you through it. Something in that vein. It's not fair for us to expect you to film your routines every day as talking about them at the same time is more tiring and delays getting the job done. I never ever want to miss any of your videos!
Diane, your videos are a blessing. Presently I’m trudging along through surgical rehab, and I’m not exactly ready to invite a crowd for dinner! But with each video you give me encouragement and you never fail to make the one little comment that seems to simplify things and make it all seem doable. Today you’ve reminded me that I’m not really supposed to be perfect, just human. As always, thank you.
I LOVE your videos and look forward to them so much! Thank you so much for practising what you preach and putting one foot in front of the other- you’re an inspiration to us all. 💕
No more self doubt allowed! Know that your videos are like a fun visit with a charming, uplifting friend! The Scottish accent is an added bonus! It’s fun to learn about your life and to see how much you love Denmark! You are a great ambassador for your adopted country! If you were to stop, I would be sad. Cindy from Minnesota
I treat myself to your videos just like a little dessert🍰 Your bubbly spirit is contagious! I don't comment on every video I watch because I don't want to clutter up your mail lol 😄 I have been truly thankful for your channel learning about the fly lady&dressing your truth.It really has made my life a little richer!Enjoy your weekend!
Dear Diane! You have helped me so far in so many ways I will never be able to thank you enough. You don't even know it but you've been with me through my first year of being a mom and I am positive to say it made me enjoy it so much more also thanks to you. I often cannot believe how kind you are to share not only your knowledge but fantastic temperament with us, so much that I often feel like I've made a friend. Sorry if this is cheesy but I really feel at home and hygge when I watch your videos. You've became my absolute favorite RUclipsr exactly because you are as you are - not trying for popularity but trying to make an actual change. It shows in your videos, who are not only great! but just the fact that they are not overly polished helped me so much with my nagging inner perfectionist - I can't tell you how many times I thought to myself "right, this might not get done perfectly, but Diane says she doesn't overly try with her videos and yet they do the job wonderfully, maybe I can just focus on getting something done and it will still be fine even if it's not up to all my standards". For real. Not to mention the fact that I love your chatty videos so much!! It's nice you have different content, it's always a bit of surprise and I love doing something while watching or listening to you, I feel like I have company over.
Firstly, I wish I could give you a hug! ❤ Your video was just what I needed yesterday and the kids were watching some of it too (can I see Diane?!) I actually much prefer your style of filming - what you see is what you get - rather than edited sentences and repetitive music etc... 😉 Thank you for your wise words and reminders, I've been plagued with self doubt all year it seems 😐 Will work on it! That's such good idea to split the garden into zones too 👍 ...and! I love that outfit on you, suits you to a T 😊❤ Thank you for being you and for being so open and honest ❤ x x x
Thank you Diane 🌟 You are a constant source of positivity and motivation. I enjoy watching your videos whilst I'm having a mid-morning cup of tea. Then, I'm fired up and ready to tackle the rest of the day! Thank you for your positivity and for always cheering us on 💛🧡💫
Diane, you are such a delight and I truly appreciate and look forward to seeing your videos daily. You are so real and encouraging. Thank for and please know that you are loved for the everything you do. My daughters and sisters know you by name :) They want to know how I met my friend from Denmark. I enjoy all the organizing, cleaning videos, but I love the videos where you share books, cooking, decorating, etc. Please know that we are enjoying your videos for who you are, lovely, charming, funny and most of all caring. Sending you a great big hug.
Ten years ago i met a new friend. Her attitude in life and just going for it (playing sax in this case) without caring about quality and other peoples opinions, it had a great influence. Today i self doubt again as i work with a younger male colleague who works like a maniac but not efficient. Your video made me relax. Slow is good, focus is good. Over 50s women are great!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
We love all that you share with us Diane. We thank you for your encouragement to help us keep moving in our routines. I was so excited yesterday to have a video posted about books that you read. That has got to be one of my favorite type of posts. Keep doing what you do. We appreciate you very much! Hugs. Have a wonderful weekend! 😊
Have a terrific weekend Diane! I'll try to be a ray of sunshine today for someone as you are for your followers. It was snowy here in Michigan (US) yesterday as well but I thought of you and just bundled up and went for an hr long speedy walk yesterday instead of letting myself sulk :)
@Charlotte VB Hi from a fellow Michigander! That's a good idea -- I'll also try and be a ray of sunshine today for someone today, like Diane is for us. Thanks!
No matter what type of day I am having, it always gets better after watching you. Finding your channel has been such a positive note in my daily life. Thanks so much for all you do for us out here! Hugs...Nancy from Northern California
Diane, let me tell you I am delighted to see a new video and posts from you anytime. They are a bright spot in my day. I thought of you yesterday when putting out some Easter decorations. I don't have anything bright yellow in my home but did put out a momma and baby chick that are bright yellow. 😊 Yay that you are doing a 5K! Thanks to your inspiration, I have started consistent exercise since the new year--not ready for a 5K, though. 😉 Enjoy the Easter break with family. Oh, I spy the bunny peeking from around the flower vase! 👋🐰
Diane. You are not cluttering up my life. I look forward to your videos. For me they a bit of sunshine on these grey days in Seattle. Loved yesterday's video, I would like to see more of these videos. Also like your craft videos, they are so much fun. Much Love from rainy Seattle.
"If it doesn't move, I'm painting it!" Oh my goodness, that is how I am! Made me laugh. On another note, I think I've said this before, but I take away useful ideas from every single video you do. I love your videos wherever you do them but especially love your kitchen. That view has become part of my life! I'm so excited to enjoy spring with you and Copenhagen. Looking forward to it. Love across the miles, all 4,272 of them! Really wish I lived next door to you :)
I don’t comment often....but I do watch you every single time you have a video. I also know I will NEVER get to Denmark...so I LOVE you sharing your culture. You are THE best tour guide anyone could have! You inspire and encourage me in so many ways. Our weather is crazy here in southeast Texas.....we can cruelly have all 4 seasons in one day here! Keep posting as you feel led to do so....videos don’t have to be perfect, yet they seem so to me! Enjoy your family and their holiday! Jesus is the reason for the season! ❤️
Have a fabulous time with family over holiday. I think it is great that you are doing 5K. You are more than good enough. I love watching your videos first thing in morning since it inspires me to get something done even when I don't feel like it. Keep posting. You are never cluttering up air space. You fill it with all good things!
Your videos, however made, whatever content, is an inspiration to so many people!! I've been stuck in a cleaning stall since you took off on a holiday like over a month ago! Trying to get back in the routines. So many strangers love you around the world!! Congratulations on your 5K goal!!!
Diane you are a true gem. We appreciate your encouragement and support so much. Having got back on the wagon with Flylady I am now looking at your getting things done videos, to help sort out other areas. Now we are retired my husband and I got a timer each 😀😀. Thank you for your kindness and we hope you have a wonderful Easter.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to do videos. Last Fall Marla mentioned your name & so I looked you up & started following your 31 baby steps. I and my family have been so blessed by my being able to truly fly and to stop just fluttering along.
Set a timer before you watch anything on RUclips or go on Instagram! Thanks for this very practical tip. I have been having a lot of self doubt. I came to tears yesterday from being discouraged about the state of my home. Thanks for the encouragement to 🌻Keep moving forward!🌻
I look forward to your videos , yesterday was fun and got me to the library today, instead of staying home polishing my copper pans! My kitchen is really clean enough as it is. We planted another Alaskan Red Twig dogwood in the front bed, since we have a day break in the weather. My daffodils are nearly ready to bloom. I am grateful that we are very decluttered, so mobility for my son is safe using his crutches and knee scooter.
You have helped me soooo much! I get so motivated every time I watch you. My timer is my new best friend lol. I have 3 boys and two grandchildren and its hard at times to keep it all together. Everything you post helps in so many ways. Hope you do a garden routine. Im starting on mine this week. Love your out fit of the day. Im also doing an attic clean up. Thank you so much for everything. 😁👍💓
I truly enjoy your posts it is how I relax after a stressful day. They encourage me that I can make tiny changes to improve my day. I also love when you take us out and about with you. I am in NY and love seeing what you are doing in Denmark each day.
Aww Diane you bring us a ray of sunshine everyday! I really enjoy our “chats” I was agreeing with you yesterday as I was doing my dusting so I found that video very helpful!! Well done for the painting project, that’s brilliant! I have to clean all those areas of the kitchen that I don’t want to do... under the sofa, fridge etc but I will do it!!!! Xxx
I am always pleased to see a video from you Diane. You have helped so many people with them. I thought it was only me that touched up paintwork that way. The wheelchair sometimes rubs against the paintwork and I,m glad you mentioned touching up the paintwork as it was a reminder to do mine. I,m going to add it to my list. I,m going to cut the lawn this weekend unless it's raining and during next week do something in the flowerbeds. It's a bit grey here today , which is disappointing after yesterday's beautiful sunshine. We all have self doubts but please be assured many people love your vlogs. Have a great weekend and Easter break with your family and enjoy your skinny dips with your besties. Love from Margaret in Wales
Diane, I want to thank you. I have been following you for a bit over a year now. Learning the fly lady system from you has been so helpful. I love it. I look forward to anti-procrastination day. This week I finally lined all my cupboards with vinyl that I've had for well over a year. I appreciate that you do you tube as encouragement and not as a business. Anyway, I think you are brilliant and a lovely friend and Daughter and Mom, Wife. I'm glad your here to bring joy and sunshine to my day. 🐣🐇🌷🌞 Enjoy your Easter school break. You cushions look cheery
Garden zones.......... who knew! Actually my husband has been doing that with our flower beds. Recovering from back surgeries, he does one bed (zone) at a time, prepping, mulching and maintaining! Keeps them looking nice and he spends about 20 minutes every day or so. Have a great weekend!
Diane, I’m sorry you have had a “wobbly week” but I’m glad you told us about it and that you have self doubts too. Knowing that you have those days like I do helps me keep things real. Thanks once again!
I look forward for your chatty videos... they really cheer me up and set tje roght mood for me... and when you dont upload i always look for a video just because... lately youve also been my companion in my afternoon routine when getting home. Thanks for the inspiration and hanging out with me.
You are my pamper time and my visual link to Denmark...I love spotting places I know! You are generous in spirit and advice! Your accent and character are upbeat and yet calming.... you're an all round good ....egg! Haha ..see what I did there?! 😂 Wishing you a wonderful, peaceful Easter....happy to eat those liquorice eggs for you 😆🐣 xx
Well as for a tangible result of your videos: I am just putting my teeth into a warm tiny apfelstrudel which I experimented on baking this Sunday afternoon (with store-bought puff pastry). It is delicious. Because of your encouragement and videos my routines are in a pretty good place at the moment and I am enjoying the benefits of finally doing more experimenting in the kitchen. Love what you do.
self doubt is normal and healthy to feel from time to time, so dont worry about it. its ironic....here you are talking about doubting yourself when all the while you are helping us to be confident, to "put one foot in front of the other" steadily, and how not to allow the "darkness" to take over. we are only human and we all have these moments of doubt no matter how strong we are. whenever you feel this way, just look at how many women are watching you and sending you so much love and appreciation! i think thats more than enough to vanish all feelings of doubt! i am always interested in whatever you have to say or show because there is quality in it, so.....keep up the good work "coach".
Sunday: We did a brief stint in the yard and then the weekly I do on Sundays. I went through all towels and donated the old ones to the local no kill cat shelter. I filled up the back seat of the car, then we stopped and picked up the seed for the garden.
No we need that cheer each day! We love our breaks with you and inspiration. You have helped me not be so perfectionist and to declutter and not clean all day everyday and fun to see you at the sea! 💗🙋👀😃🌟😍
Yay!!! I've done my morning AND evening routine today, because i binge watched your videos over the weekend!!! Thank you so much. It's the first time in over 18 months, and I would not have been able to do it without you. Much love xxxxxx
OMG Diane, that was one of your best videos yesterday - books and music, and I have been watching you consistently for YEARS. I too am a house music and electronica lover. What could be better?!
Was thinking about you yesterday -- appreciate the hard, diligent, CREATIVE work you so faithfully do to encourage US. I am encouraged and inspired, and I thank you!!
You ALWAYS encourage me to clean or do things i should be doing. I wanted to share something with you that is very very important to me. About 9 years ago i had a health problem come up. I mentioned it to a few different docs and it was ignored. The problem grew greatly to almost crippling my life. I started working out at the gym b/c of your 40 day challenge which made me feel a little better and i went and seen another doctor and mentioned this problem and because of that appointment and the gym and the doctor listening to me and helping me.. the problem is almost gone. It all started with my gym membership i got b/c of the 40 day challenge.. PLEASE NEVER THINK YOU ARE CLOGGING UP OUR FEEDS. I need you! You help me more than you will ever know. I am also.. I am also 16lbs down!
You are ENOUGH and so much more. I look forward to hearing my cheer lady in every video. And you make me feel like I am enough yoo. 15 minutes here. 15 minutes there. Done but not perfect. It is all good enough and so are we. Go us!!! So good to hear your excitement about the run. You deserve every ounce of fun.
So neat that you are doing a 5K!!! And have a great week with the kids!!! Always love all your videos Diane just listening to your cheery voice is so inspiring and happy to me!!! You make everything from housework to shopping to traveling to making you tube videos seem so easy and simple!! Keep up the great 👍 work
I totally get this! As a RUclipsr, there’s always that self-doubt but when I push upload, there’s at least one person who says “Thank you. I needed that.” even if it’s just to connect or commiserate. I’m a new sub! I love your channel. Thank you. I’m starting my fly lady journey this week. Blessed by home today! Btw, I love hygge. I’m so happy I had others recommend your channel! God bless!
Your book talks are a great idea. I am a big mystery novel fan like you, but dropped off reading with career and raising kids. You have sparked my interest and I am reading again! Keep the reviews coming.
🌷Your Posts are always welcome Diane. I love your honesty and your heart is clearly always in the right place and it shines through in your videos. I enjoyed yesterday’s upload , particularly as I am a fan of punk and house music too which none of my friends seem appreciate. We seem to have a lot in common. I even have a copy of Thoroughly modern Millie in my my favourite dvds collection. ( I used to love watching that movie my mother). I hope you have yourself a great weekend. 🌷 xx
Hello Diane ! I do the flylady system since a year know, with youre help , thank's to your Videos. Zoneclean and weekly home blessing hour i still had do learn better. But the mornikng and eveningroutin's i do evry single Day . It make's such a diffrent. I feel it most in the loundry. Bevore i do the loundry in my morningroutine evry singl day , i had tons and tons of clean clothe's waiting for ironing,foaldiong and put away. It was so hard ,because i have a big family , and the laundry was this monster in the backeground,a neverending story. Not the dirty clothes where my problem the clean one's because they pile up so fast. For year's and year's i tryed to make it better but never , never had any success. And than you came into my life with your videos and it's unbelivebel i have no piles of laundry anymore, i make it evry single Day i love it .It won't take me much long, sometim's i think it's a dream but it's real. It's fantastic i'm the king of laundry i'm ironingman😂i'm soooooooo happy , icant' tell.😍😍😍😍😍💖💕💕 It's so interesting i have to learn that i have more time for the funny thing's. In first time, i wose very confused till i realised that i have more time for me and things that i like to do. Thank's sooooooo much ,and again excuse my english i 'm from austria.😘😘😘💖💕 Best wishes for you Diane Rosmarie Berchtold vom Bauernhof Farnach 🤗🤗🤗
Diane, you're great! You've inspired lots of people and you're giving us lots of joy and sunshine, ideas about hygge and helpful hints. Thank you!! Now, as promised to +Iridescent Glow on Monday, here's my next status update on my 40 day challenge. It's Day 13 (Saturday) and I've done gentle exercise every day - mostly walking or going up & down the 7 stories of stairs at home instead of taking the lift. My most exciting exercise so far was a 4 hour historical dancing workshop, which inspired me to do historical dancing at home using RUclips videos for the music and the steps. That is good exercise, but a truly lonely way of dancing, so I'm hoping to get my spouse involved next time I do it that way! Decluttering is going very well. Initially, I thought I wouldn't find 40 days' worth of items - particularly as I was decluttering along with Diane on her 40 day challenge - so I kept putting a couple of things aside "to declutter tomorrow if I don't find anything". Now the funny thing is that not only did I not need to do that (because there was always something "surplus to requirements"), but it was also a waste of a good throw-out because I couldn't find them on my busy days when I went to use them! So I've given up on that as a strategy. Since Monday, I've decluttered the "bad" kitchen drawer, decluttered the bathroom ledge (which should not have yielded anything - it's only a week since I last decluttered there!! - but it did), weeded my collection of business cards, threw out "Eierfarben" for colouring eggs which was 5 years out of date (!!!), disposed of my conjunctivitis medicines and removed Great Aunt Ruth's mirrored compact from my life. I miss her, but the compact won't bring her back and we have better things to remember her by.
yes your right about getting things done doing your zones I m still decluttering and seeing things that need doing thanks to you sorry you felt down I felt the same last week as some one upset me and I took it to heart but doing my routine and reading a good book helped me I look forward to seeing you and going back and looking at other RUclips you've done the last challange help a lot
Diane. Great job on your goals.!! And I agree with all these posts so I don't need to rewrite. Lol. I adore you!! Because of you I finally did something for me and cut some yellow forsythia and put in a white vase. I Love it. Nice pop of sunshine. Free and simple. Thx 😁😁😁 btw I watch all ur vids but forget to click on "like" I will try to remember to do so. Have a great day.
Thank you, Diane! You answered to a question that I did you days ago about gardening, I thank you because you make me observe the "problem" from another prospective. 😘 I still have problem to pamper myself🤔why is it soooo difficult?? However...working together😁🤗 a big hug from a cold and rainy Italy!☔☔☔
I look forward to your videos each day. I love your cheerful attitude, your encouragement, and your example. My home is gradually beginning to look much better because I have been trying to follow your advice. I love the idea of garden zones. We have warm weather here year-round, so gardening is ongoing and can be overwhelming. This is an idea I think I will try! Have a great weekend and enjoy your time with your kids next week!
Oh my gosh, I love this so much! You are the cutest lady ever! I just found your channel today from a video from The Secret Slob and I am so excited to go back and watch some of your other videos now! I want to be just like you when I'm older and even now, too! I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family ❤️
My kids are on the same break as your’s (right down to Easter Monday!). We’re going to have an overnighter mini-vacay and go to the zoo. The rest of the week will be R&R at home, and maybe a movie and bowling.
Thank you for your honesty about your self-doubts, it is easy to think you are all happy-clappy, but good to see you are human too!! really appreciate your time and energy being shared with us, thank you so much, have a lovely weekend, Niamh in Dublin
I love your videos----you're so supportive and encouraging! And the examples you give (routines, cleaning, planning, etc.) are so real and doable, I feel like I can do them too. (I'm not expressing this well, but know that your videos are so helpful!)
I look forward to seeing your videos every day to get me going, its like chatting to a motivational friend. At the end of last summer I divided my garden into zones to work on, but didn't really get going properly with it. I am doing it this year with the weekly garden blessing being cutting the grass.
It was a lovely video ! I’m trying to read more books myself and it’s great to be encouraged by others knowing they are reading too! Have just moved to west London and going to join our local library! Keep going x
Thanks for sharing your moment of doubt with us! It’s nice to see that even you have those moments and how you overcome them. I loved the chatty video yesterday and hearing about your favorite music. I was ‘punk’ in high school and even stated a band with my bff :) it was fun but I mostly listen to different things now.
Love your videos Diane, and I enjoyed yesterday. I find when people share what they like I often find something new to read or listen to. Glad you touched on seasonal projects today. Here it is Friday and I haven't done any of my zone cleaning yet, but I did help my husband after work on Monday with finishing off and moving a new outdoor dining table he had made and did a few other tasks both Monday and Tuesday that we needed to take care of, so I won't beat myself up over the zone cleaning. As I work full time, I'll just pick maybe 3 zone cleaning tasks and do those when I get up Saturday morning and be done with the kitchen (it's not that bad anyway considering routines) so I can help my husband spread mulch and such in the afternoon. When we are back in the bathroom I know that I need to do some touch up painting in both of them for the trim work, so I can plan ahead and make sure that I have the supplies ready to go and I'll remind myself to just take care of the most needed of the zone cleaning tasks that week.
This video made me cry. We are not watching you because we have no clue how to scrub a toilet. We are watching you for the encouragement. Some of us are not good at self care or enjoying daily life. You are showing us how. I would watch if you came on, smiled, and then read your grocery list.
Lynn Bigner I so completely agree with this comment! I really like Diane so much and I worry about her when she’s got the blahs or seems sad like she did in part of this video. I actually try not to comment much (unsuccessfully lol) because I tend to say things wrong not just when I’m messaging but in the rest of my life. Diane’s videos make me happy. I do however need help with my decluttering and cleaning. I don’t have flylady down pat at all.
Agree! You give me encouragement.
I completely agree! Diane, your zest for life is encouraging and catching!! God bless you and your family ❤️
Yes, we just like to hear your cheery voice over our morning tea. I refer to you as "my friend in Denmark." You are not cluttering my life or my youtube feed. :)
Diane, you are a like-minded homemaking friend.....never a clutter. I look forward to our “chat” each day and always take away some bit of encouragement or inspiration. I’m getting more done as well so thank you!!!!
I work outside the home (I'm a nurse) 40 years now. For so very long I struggled to keep my home as the calm relaxing sanctuary that it should be. Since I have started watching you and keeping to my routines I have finally got it together. I too, consider you my friend from Denmark. It is very unlikely but if I ever found myself in Copenhagen I would want to meet up with you for a lunch or to share a cup of tea in one of those beautiful sidewalk eateries you show us when you are out. Blessings to you and your family.
Your cheery, friendly spirit just really helps me start my day on the right note!
This is the very video I needed. Please Diana, do not doubt that you are making an impact. I’m struggling ... very very much and I came back to your videos. You are such a breathe of fresh air. Thank you my dear. I am just going to get back on the wagon.
Diane, sometimes I just feel really down and I and I'll turn on my television to watch RUclips and if I see a new video from you no matter what the content I feel just a little better. Sometimes I feel a lot better. so your little video yesterday with all the reading in the books and music that you like and so forth create reminder to me that I'm not reading as often as I like and how much I like to read. How much doing a little reading would add to my life.
Have some pretty difficult health issues and keeping up with my housework is a real struggle. But my trusty timer has made a big difference. And that idea came from you.
You had such a benefit to my life I am so grateful to you.
I could have written this response also, thank you.
What I’ve finally done and is a huge relief, I finally made out an entire monthly cleaning schedule and it took a long time because there were some things with the FlyLady system that didn’t work for me with small kids. Whether it’s not having an entire hour to clean on weekly home blessing, I broke it out along the week with tasks that fit my individual needs, plus added an extra day to clean things that need to be cleaned twice instead of monthly (especially with little kids) Just having a small schedule with a couple things to do each day makes me feel way less overwhelmed. I did try to do a bi-weekly schedule with those tasks but felt it would make me clean certain things too often, so with the FlyLady zones it really does help to follow but tweek it to fit your needs. Will see how it goes!
Feel the same way. I often leave my tv on and listen to/watch Diane as I work from home. Her bubbly personality keeps my spirits buoyed and I learn so much about Danish culture, food, etc. Diane's a ray of sunshine no matter what corner of the world you call home. 🌞
Diane, your a rare treasure! I'm sorry you doubt yourself sometimes. Please don't! Your style is perfectly you and it's you we love! Don't change a thing! 💕👍👏🙌
I agree 100%! I love your videos because they ARE genuine, spontaneous, funny and completely natural...like the occasional impromptu squirrel "cameo", and showing us where you stash the good chocolates (!!) Just keep doing YOU, Diane because that's who we all love and look forward to seeing every day. 🌷🐿❤🎶📚🐰🐥🕯🚴♀️🏊♀️🧣🧤💅
You are NOT cluttering up my feed! I love your videos. You are an inspiration to me, more than decluttering, even though I love that. Your attitude, your style, and your Scottish brogue are endearing!
You bring joy into our day. We enjoy your posts and it inspires us. Sending poms poms to you🎉🎉🎉

Diane,I look forward to every video you make. You are the light in each day! Thank you for everything you do.
Oh Diane never think for one second you are cluttering up our lives with the details you share. I’m sure I speak for a lot of others when I say we love you. You are a wonderful start to our day. I look forward to my mornings once I get a kick start from your sunny disposition. After my early retirement a couple of years ago I went into a slump of feeling worthless and with the thought ‘where do I go from here’. It was literally your videos that got me moving and feeling great again. So I just felt like sharing that with you. 💕
Your comments are the best compliment a youtuber could receive - too many silly videos on youtube about nothing. Such adorable positivity and encouragement 😀. How fabulous she touches lives with grace and joy.
I am so grateful you take out the time to such positive content, and its actually your organic way of shooting that makes your content so nice. :))))
You are my favorite person on RUclips by far, and I watch TV very infrequently. They rarely make anything I want to spend my free time on. Your presence, first and foremost, personality and kindness are a light no matter what I am facing. As for the FLYing videos, I wonder how you would feel about sharing occasionally how your routines went that day... if, for instance, you really did not want to do a load of laundry or afternoon routine and what got you through it. Something in that vein. It's not fair for us to expect you to film your routines every day as talking about them at the same time is more tiring and delays getting the job done. I never ever want to miss any of your videos!
Diane, your videos are a blessing. Presently I’m trudging along through surgical rehab, and I’m not exactly ready to invite a crowd for dinner! But with each video you give me encouragement and you never fail to make the one little comment that seems to simplify things and make it all seem doable. Today you’ve reminded me that I’m not really supposed to be perfect, just human. As always, thank you.
I LOVE your videos and look forward to them so much! Thank you so much for practising what you preach and putting one foot in front of the other- you’re an inspiration to us all. 💕
No more self doubt allowed! Know that your videos are like a fun visit with a charming, uplifting friend! The Scottish accent is an added bonus! It’s fun to learn about your life and to see how much you love Denmark! You are a great ambassador for your adopted country! If you were to stop, I would be sad. Cindy from Minnesota
I treat myself to your videos just like a little dessert🍰 Your bubbly spirit is contagious! I don't comment on every video I watch because I don't want to clutter up your mail lol 😄 I have been truly thankful for your channel learning about the fly lady&dressing your truth.It really has made my life a little richer!Enjoy your weekend!
Excellent video. I enjoy seeing your cheery kitchen and hearing your Fly Lady tips. Great idea about dividing your garden into zones as well.
I just love the morning spent with your cheerful self and visiting your Copenhagen home when you post your videos! Thanks so much!
Agree, so cozy and hyggelig! 🤗🕯☕💖
Dear Diane! You have helped me so far in so many ways I will never be able to thank you enough. You don't even know it but you've been with me through my first year of being a mom and I am positive to say it made me enjoy it so much more also thanks to you. I often cannot believe how kind you are to share not only your knowledge but fantastic temperament with us, so much that I often feel like I've made a friend. Sorry if this is cheesy but I really feel at home and hygge when I watch your videos. You've became my absolute favorite RUclipsr exactly because you are as you are - not trying for popularity but trying to make an actual change. It shows in your videos, who are not only great! but just the fact that they are not overly polished helped me so much with my nagging inner perfectionist - I can't tell you how many times I thought to myself "right, this might not get done perfectly, but Diane says she doesn't overly try with her videos and yet they do the job wonderfully, maybe I can just focus on getting something done and it will still be fine even if it's not up to all my standards". For real. Not to mention the fact that I love your chatty videos so much!! It's nice you have different content, it's always a bit of surprise and I love doing something while watching or listening to you, I feel like I have company over.
Firstly, I wish I could give you a hug! ❤ Your video was just what I needed yesterday and the kids were watching some of it too (can I see Diane?!) I actually much prefer your style of filming - what you see is what you get - rather than edited sentences and repetitive music etc... 😉 Thank you for your wise words and reminders, I've been plagued with self doubt all year it seems 😐 Will work on it! That's such good idea to split the garden into zones too 👍 ...and! I love that outfit on you, suits you to a T 😊❤ Thank you for being you and for being so open and honest ❤ x x x
Group hug!!!
Thank you Diane 🌟 You are a constant source of positivity and motivation. I enjoy watching your videos whilst I'm having a mid-morning cup of tea. Then, I'm fired up and ready to tackle the rest of the day! Thank you for your positivity and for always cheering us on 💛🧡💫
Diane, you are such a delight and I truly appreciate and look forward to seeing your videos daily. You are so real and encouraging. Thank for and please know that you are loved for the everything you do. My daughters and sisters know you by name :) They want to know how I met my friend from Denmark. I enjoy all the organizing, cleaning videos, but I love the videos where you share books, cooking, decorating, etc. Please know that we are enjoying your videos for who you are, lovely, charming, funny and most of all caring. Sending you a great big hug.
Ten years ago i met a new friend. Her attitude in life and just going for it (playing sax in this case) without caring about quality and other peoples opinions, it had a great influence. Today i self doubt again as i work with a younger male colleague who works like a maniac but not efficient. Your video made me relax. Slow is good, focus is good. Over 50s women are great!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
We love all that you share with us Diane. We thank you for your encouragement to help us keep moving in our routines. I was so excited yesterday to have a video posted about books that you read. That has got to be one of my favorite type of posts. Keep doing what you do. We appreciate you very much! Hugs. Have a wonderful weekend! 😊
Dear Diane you’re LOVED all over the WORLD.
Pat in America
You are a blessing to us Diane 💐🌷🌷🌷
Have a terrific weekend Diane! I'll try to be a ray of sunshine today for someone as you are for your followers. It was snowy here in Michigan (US) yesterday as well but I thought of you and just bundled up and went for an hr long speedy walk yesterday instead of letting myself sulk :)
That's great 👍 😁
@Charlotte VB Hi from a fellow Michigander! That's a good idea -- I'll also try and be a ray of sunshine today for someone today, like Diane is for us. Thanks!
No matter what type of day I am having, it always gets better after watching you. Finding your channel has been such a positive note in my daily life. Thanks so much for all you do for us out here! Hugs...Nancy from Northern California
Aww, thank you so much, Nancy!
Diane, let me tell you I am delighted to see a new video and posts from you anytime. They are a bright spot in my day. I thought of you yesterday when putting out some Easter decorations. I don't have anything bright yellow in my home but did put out a momma and baby chick that are bright yellow. 😊 Yay that you are doing a 5K! Thanks to your inspiration, I have started consistent exercise since the new year--not ready for a 5K, though. 😉 Enjoy the Easter break with family. Oh, I spy the bunny peeking from around the flower vase! 👋🐰
I see him...tee-hee! 🐰
Diane. You are not cluttering up my life. I look forward to your videos. For me they a bit of sunshine on these grey days in Seattle. Loved yesterday's video, I would like to see more of these videos. Also like your craft videos, they are so much fun. Much Love from rainy Seattle.
"If it doesn't move, I'm painting it!" Oh my goodness, that is how I am! Made me laugh. On another note, I think I've said this before, but I take away useful ideas from every single video you do. I love your videos wherever you do them but especially love your kitchen. That view has become part of my life! I'm so excited to enjoy spring with you and Copenhagen. Looking forward to it. Love across the miles, all 4,272 of them! Really wish I lived next door to you :)
I always enjoy your posts. X
Dear Diane - you are such an inspiration and I am so grateful for all your videos. Thank you!
Go Diane!!! Running too!
I don’t comment often....but I do watch you every single time you have a video. I also know I will NEVER get to Denmark...so I LOVE you sharing your culture. You are THE best tour guide anyone could have! You inspire and encourage me in so many ways. Our weather is crazy here in southeast Texas.....we can cruelly have all 4 seasons in one day here! Keep posting as you feel led to do so....videos don’t have to be perfect, yet they seem so to me! Enjoy your family and their holiday! Jesus is the reason for the season! ❤️
Have a fabulous time with family over holiday. I think it is great that you are doing 5K. You are more than good enough. I love watching your videos first thing in morning since it inspires me to get something done even when I don't feel like it. Keep posting. You are never cluttering up air space. You fill it with all good things!
Diane - I look forward to your videos everyday! Thanks for all you do 😊🙏
Your videos, however made, whatever content, is an inspiration to so many people!! I've been stuck in a cleaning stall since you took off on a holiday like over a month ago! Trying to get back in the routines. So many strangers love you around the world!! Congratulations on your 5K goal!!!
Diane you are a true gem. We appreciate your encouragement and support so much. Having got back on the wagon with Flylady I am now looking at your getting things done videos, to help sort out other areas. Now we are retired my husband and I got a timer each 😀😀. Thank you for your kindness and we hope you have a wonderful Easter.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to do videos. Last Fall Marla mentioned your name & so I looked you up & started following your 31 baby steps. I and my family have been so blessed by my being able to truly fly and to stop just fluttering along.
Set a timer before you watch anything on RUclips or go on Instagram! Thanks for this very practical tip.
I have been having a lot of self doubt. I came to tears yesterday from being discouraged about the state of my home. Thanks for the encouragement to 🌻Keep moving forward!🌻
I look forward to your videos , yesterday was fun and got me to the library today, instead of staying home polishing my copper pans! My kitchen is really clean enough as it is. We planted another Alaskan Red Twig dogwood in the front bed, since we have a day break in the weather. My daffodils are nearly ready to bloom. I am grateful that we are very decluttered, so mobility for my son is safe using his crutches and knee scooter.
You have helped me soooo much! I get so motivated every time I watch you. My timer is my new best friend lol. I have 3 boys and two grandchildren and its hard at times to keep it all together. Everything you post helps in so many ways. Hope you do a garden routine. Im starting on mine this week. Love your out fit of the day. Im also doing an attic clean up. Thank you so much for everything. 😁👍💓
I am always happy to watch your posts. You are so encouraging and uplifting.
I truly enjoy your posts it is how
I relax after a stressful day. They encourage me that I can make tiny changes to improve my day. I also love when you take us out and about with you. I am in NY and love seeing what you are doing in Denmark each day.
Aww Diane you bring us a ray of sunshine everyday! I really enjoy our “chats” I was agreeing with you yesterday as I was doing my dusting so I found that video very helpful!! Well done for the painting project, that’s brilliant! I have to clean all those areas of the kitchen that I don’t want to do... under the sofa, fridge etc but I will do it!!!! Xxx
I am always pleased to see a video from you Diane. You have helped so many people with them. I thought it was only me that touched up paintwork that way. The wheelchair sometimes rubs against the paintwork and I,m glad you mentioned touching up the paintwork as it was a reminder to do mine. I,m going to add it to my list. I,m going to cut the lawn this weekend unless it's raining and during next week do something in the flowerbeds. It's a bit grey here today , which is disappointing after yesterday's beautiful sunshine. We all have self doubts but please be assured many people love your vlogs. Have a great weekend and Easter break with your family and enjoy your skinny dips with your besties. Love from Margaret in Wales
Diane,
I want to thank you. I have been following you for a bit over a year now.
Learning the fly lady system from you has been so helpful. I love it.
I look forward to anti-procrastination day. This week I finally lined all my cupboards with vinyl that I've had for well over a year.
I appreciate that you do you tube as encouragement and not as a business.
Anyway, I think you are brilliant and a lovely friend and Daughter and Mom, Wife. I'm glad your here to bring joy and sunshine to my day.
🐣🐇🌷🌞
Enjoy your Easter school break.
You cushions look cheery
Garden zones.......... who knew! Actually my husband has been doing that with our flower beds. Recovering from back surgeries, he does one bed (zone) at a time, prepping, mulching and maintaining! Keeps them looking nice and he spends about 20 minutes every day or so. Have a great weekend!
Diane, I’m sorry you have had a “wobbly week” but I’m glad you told us about it and that you have self doubts too. Knowing that you have those days like I do helps me keep things real. Thanks once again!
I look forward for your chatty videos... they really cheer me up and set tje roght mood for me... and when you dont upload i always look for a video just because... lately youve also been my companion in my afternoon routine when getting home. Thanks for the inspiration and hanging out with me.
You are my pamper time and my visual link to Denmark...I love spotting places I know! You are generous in spirit and advice! Your accent and character are upbeat and yet calming.... you're an all round good ....egg! Haha ..see what I did there?! 😂
Wishing you a wonderful, peaceful Easter....happy to eat those liquorice eggs for you 😆🐣 xx
Well as for a tangible result of your videos: I am just putting my teeth into a warm tiny apfelstrudel which I experimented on baking this Sunday afternoon (with store-bought puff pastry). It is delicious. Because of your encouragement and videos my routines are in a pretty good place at the moment and I am enjoying the benefits of finally doing more experimenting in the kitchen. Love what you do.
self doubt is normal and healthy to feel from time to time, so dont worry about it. its ironic....here you are talking about doubting yourself when all the while you are helping us to be confident, to "put one foot in front of the other" steadily, and how not to allow the "darkness" to take over. we are only human and we all have these moments of doubt no matter how strong we are. whenever you feel this way, just look at how many women are watching you and sending you so much love and appreciation! i think thats more than enough to vanish all feelings of doubt! i am always interested in whatever you have to say or show because there is quality in it, so.....keep up the good work "coach".
Sunday: We did a brief stint in the yard and then the weekly I do on Sundays. I went through all towels and donated the old ones to the local no kill cat shelter. I filled up the back seat of the car, then we stopped and picked up the seed for the garden.
Diane, you are a very cheery person and you always make my day.
I love your outfit in this video! That color looks great on you and the jewelry is a perfect touch!
No we need that cheer each day! We love our breaks with you and inspiration. You have helped me not be so perfectionist and to declutter and not clean all day everyday and fun to see you at the sea! 💗🙋👀😃🌟😍
I liked your video on books and hygge! It is fun to watch and compare our reading lists. The Easter 'tree' on your windowsill is beautiful!
good for you!
Yay!!! I've done my morning AND evening routine today, because i binge watched your videos over the weekend!!! Thank you so much. It's the first time in over 18 months, and I would not have been able to do it without you. Much love xxxxxx
Well done, Carol!
I enjoy your input and company .. as much as my first cup of coffee in the morning .. 🌞💜🌹
OMG Diane, that was one of your best videos yesterday - books and music, and I have been watching you consistently for YEARS. I too am a house music and electronica lover. What could be better?!
Diane, you are one of my favorites! Thanks for doing what you do!
Aww, thanks, Roxanne!
Thanks for the comments about routines and zones ❤️ yesterday’s video was wonderful!
Love all your videos, they make my day! You are a treasure, I feel like your my friend, and we have these lovely chats. Thank you for all you do❤️❤️❤️
Couldn't agree more. Diane is a true treasure😀
Was thinking about you yesterday -- appreciate the hard, diligent, CREATIVE work you so faithfully do to encourage US. I am encouraged and inspired, and I thank you!!
Ditto, Diane really works hard and there's no ulterior motive or plugging endless products - so refreshing!!😀
You ALWAYS encourage me to clean or do things i should be doing. I wanted to share something with you that is very very important to me. About 9 years ago i had a health problem come up. I mentioned it to a few different docs and it was ignored. The problem grew greatly to almost crippling my life. I started working out at the gym b/c of your 40 day challenge which made me feel a little better and i went and seen another doctor and mentioned this problem and because of that appointment and the gym and the doctor listening to me and helping me.. the problem is almost gone. It all started with my gym membership i got b/c of the 40 day challenge.. PLEASE NEVER THINK YOU ARE CLOGGING UP OUR FEEDS. I need you! You help me more than you will ever know. I am also.. I am also 16lbs down!
You are ENOUGH and so much more. I look forward to hearing my cheer lady in every video. And you make me feel like I am enough yoo. 15 minutes here. 15 minutes there. Done but not perfect. It is all good enough and so are we. Go us!!! So good to hear your excitement about the run. You deserve every ounce of fun.
So neat that you are doing a 5K!!! And have a great week with the kids!!! Always love all your videos Diane just listening to your cheery voice is so inspiring and happy to me!!! You make everything from housework to shopping to traveling to making you tube videos seem so easy and simple!! Keep up the great 👍 work
Absolutely love your videos! You are a ray of sunshine to me 😊
I loved your video yesterday. I feel like I know you more. ❤️❤️❤️
I totally get this! As a RUclipsr, there’s always that self-doubt but when I push upload, there’s at least one person who says “Thank you. I needed that.” even if it’s just to connect or commiserate. I’m a new sub! I love your channel. Thank you. I’m starting my fly lady journey this week. Blessed by home today! Btw, I love hygge. I’m so happy I had others recommend your channel! God bless!
Your book talks are a great idea. I am a big mystery novel fan like you, but dropped off reading with career and raising kids. You have sparked my interest and I am reading again! Keep the reviews coming.
🌷Your Posts are always welcome Diane. I love your honesty and your heart is clearly always in the right place and it shines through in your videos. I enjoyed yesterday’s upload , particularly as I am a fan of punk and house music too which none of my friends seem appreciate. We seem to have a lot in common. I even have a copy of Thoroughly modern Millie in my my favourite dvds collection. ( I used to love watching that movie my mother). I hope you have yourself a great weekend. 🌷 xx
Ditto, love house too 😀.
Hello Diane !
I do the flylady system since a year know, with youre help , thank's to your Videos. Zoneclean and weekly home blessing hour i still had do learn better.
But the mornikng and eveningroutin's i do evry single Day . It make's such a diffrent. I feel it most in the loundry. Bevore i do the loundry in my morningroutine evry singl day , i had tons and tons of clean clothe's waiting for ironing,foaldiong and put away. It was so hard ,because i have a big family , and the laundry was this monster in the backeground,a neverending story. Not the dirty clothes where my problem the clean one's because they pile up so fast. For year's and year's i tryed to make it better but never , never had any success. And than you came into my life with your videos and it's unbelivebel i have no piles of laundry anymore, i make it evry single Day i love it .It won't take me much long, sometim's i think it's a dream but it's real. It's fantastic i'm the king of laundry i'm ironingman😂i'm soooooooo happy , icant' tell.😍😍😍😍😍💖💕💕
It's so interesting i have to learn that i have more time for the funny thing's. In first time, i wose very confused till i realised that i have more time for me and things that i like to do. Thank's sooooooo much ,and again excuse my english i 'm from austria.😘😘😘💖💕
Best wishes for you Diane
Rosmarie Berchtold vom Bauernhof Farnach 🤗🤗🤗
Diane, you're great! You've inspired lots of people and you're giving us lots of joy and sunshine, ideas about hygge and helpful hints. Thank you!!
Now, as promised to +Iridescent Glow on Monday, here's my next status update on my 40 day challenge.
It's Day 13 (Saturday) and I've done gentle exercise every day - mostly walking or going up & down the 7 stories of stairs at home instead of taking the lift. My most exciting exercise so far was a 4 hour historical dancing workshop, which inspired me to do historical dancing at home using RUclips videos for the music and the steps. That is good exercise, but a truly lonely way of dancing, so I'm hoping to get my spouse involved next time I do it that way!
Decluttering is going very well. Initially, I thought I wouldn't find 40 days' worth of items - particularly as I was decluttering along with Diane on her 40 day challenge - so I kept putting a couple of things aside "to declutter tomorrow if I don't find anything". Now the funny thing is that not only did I not need to do that (because there was always something "surplus to requirements"), but it was also a waste of a good throw-out because I couldn't find them on my busy days when I went to use them! So I've given up on that as a strategy.
Since Monday, I've decluttered the "bad" kitchen drawer, decluttered the bathroom ledge (which should not have yielded anything - it's only a week since I last decluttered there!! - but it did), weeded my collection of business cards, threw out "Eierfarben" for colouring eggs which was 5 years out of date (!!!), disposed of my conjunctivitis medicines and removed Great Aunt Ruth's mirrored compact from my life. I miss her, but the compact won't bring her back and we have better things to remember her by.
And today I decluttered the cellar. Took everything out and either put it in the right place (for this time of year) or put it out.
yes your right about getting things done doing your zones I m still decluttering and seeing things that need doing thanks to you sorry you felt down I felt the same last week as some one upset me and I took it to heart but doing my routine and reading a good book helped me I look forward to seeing you and going back and looking at other RUclips you've done the last challange help a lot
Diane. Great job on your goals.!! And I agree with all these posts so I don't need to rewrite. Lol. I adore you!! Because of you I finally did something for me and cut some yellow forsythia and put in a white vase. I Love it. Nice pop of sunshine. Free and simple. Thx 😁😁😁 btw I watch all ur vids but forget to click on "like" I will try to remember to do so. Have a great day.
Love all the pops of yellow for Easter! You are a joy for all of us!
Good Morning! Cleaning up after breakfast!
Thank you, Diane! You answered to a question that I did you days ago about gardening, I thank you because you make me observe the "problem" from another prospective. 😘 I still have problem to pamper myself🤔why is it soooo difficult?? However...working together😁🤗 a big hug from a cold and rainy Italy!☔☔☔
You're the BEST, D in D ❗⭐
I have learned so much from these videos. Thanks bunches!
I look forward to your videos each day. I love your cheerful attitude, your encouragement, and your example. My home is gradually beginning to look much better because I have been trying to follow your advice. I love the idea of garden zones. We have warm weather here year-round, so gardening is ongoing and can be overwhelming. This is an idea I think I will try! Have a great weekend and enjoy your time with your kids next week!
You look so vibrant in that blue! It was nice to hear this morning before work what you said about doubting yourself.
Hello it’s Friday 12 April 2019 . Your awesome ... Thank you .
Hi Mrs. Diane I like your watching your videos because I need to be challenged everyday
Oh my gosh, I love this so much! You are the cutest lady ever! I just found your channel today from a video from The Secret Slob and I am so excited to go back and watch some of your other videos now! I want to be just like you when I'm older and even now, too! I hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family ❤️
Yay, welcome here, Cherish! 🖖
My kids are on the same break as your’s (right down to Easter Monday!). We’re going to have an overnighter mini-vacay and go to the zoo. The rest of the week will be R&R at home, and maybe a movie and bowling.
Love your great attitude to life
Diane please keep making chat videos about books! I love to hear what you are reading!
Thank you so much! You can follow along on what I've read on my blog 📚📚📚 Here's the link for you! dianedenmark.com/category/books/
@@DianeinDenmark thank you!
Thank you for your honesty about your self-doubts, it is easy to think you are all happy-clappy, but good to see you are human too!! really appreciate your time and energy being shared with us, thank you so much, have a lovely weekend, Niamh in Dublin
I love your videos----you're so supportive and encouraging! And the examples you give (routines, cleaning, planning, etc.) are so real and doable, I feel like I can do them too. (I'm not expressing this well, but know that your videos are so helpful!)
I look forward to seeing your videos every day to get me going, its like chatting to a motivational friend. At the end of last summer I divided my garden into zones to work on, but didn't really get going properly with it. I am doing it this year with the weekly garden blessing being cutting the grass.
It was a lovely video ! I’m trying to read more books myself and it’s great to be encouraged by others knowing they are reading too! Have just moved to west London and going to join our local library! Keep going x
Thanks for sharing your moment of doubt with us! It’s nice to see that even you have those moments and how you overcome them. I loved the chatty video yesterday and hearing about your favorite music. I was ‘punk’ in high school and even stated a band with my bff :) it was fun but I mostly listen to different things now.
Love your videos Diane, and I enjoyed yesterday. I find when people share what they like I often find something new to read or listen to. Glad you touched on seasonal projects today. Here it is Friday and I haven't done any of my zone cleaning yet, but I did help my husband after work on Monday with finishing off and moving a new outdoor dining table he had made and did a few other tasks both Monday and Tuesday that we needed to take care of, so I won't beat myself up over the zone cleaning. As I work full time, I'll just pick maybe 3 zone cleaning tasks and do those when I get up Saturday morning and be done with the kitchen (it's not that bad anyway considering routines) so I can help my husband spread mulch and such in the afternoon. When we are back in the bathroom I know that I need to do some touch up painting in both of them for the trim work, so I can plan ahead and make sure that I have the supplies ready to go and I'll remind myself to just take care of the most needed of the zone cleaning tasks that week.
