The greatest thing I did for myself is to stop all the excuses as to why my house wasn't clean. It didn't have to do with working 12 hours a day outside the home. It didn't have anything to do with all my kids' activities. It was all because I didn't want to do it. Plain and simple. Now that I clean/tidy daily and then deep clean weekly, my house stays clean. I make it a priority every day. I don't allow any excuses anymore. I am hosting Christmas at my house this year and it's not stressful at all. I am not running around trying to make things presentable. It's already there!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄HAPPY HOLIDAYS🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR🍾 Thankfully, we're not hosting until New Years, so we've still got a little time to get the house in order. Especially since my cold has become an upper respiratory infection and I don't have the energy to clean. 🤦🏾♀️
We have cinnamon rolls for breakfast on christmas. We eat christmas dinner at 1pm..On christmas eve 10 of my 12 kids will come to my home. We eat at 6pm..open gifts..then midnight mass. Our youngest 3 will be here christmas morning. My daughter Jenny is on leave from the Army. So treasuring this time.🎄
My family and friends always saying oh I don't have time to learn or I don't have the patience to coupon now it is easier for me because I don't get any paper coupons I just use the digital ones because sometimes my stores wouldn't take the paper coupons.
Thank you Jodi. I needed the motivation. My adult son decided to host at my house. I have nary decoration up on 12/23 and a pile of clutter I’ve been unable to mentally address for months. 👀🫣 nothing like a bit of pressure to make you deal with it. Merry Christmas🎄
Oh no Shawna! Well the pressure is no fun but I work quick under pressure usually 😂 Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and whatever you get done will be perfect ❤️
Had a house/dog sitter here for 3 days, so I cleaned the day prior. Came home and cleaned the house again! But after was just the bathroom, kitchen, and all the floors.Ready to wrap presents and welcome guests.
Merry Christmas Jodi and family.Breakfast on Christmas morning growing up in a black household that was a no no we didn't eat until the food was ready you might get a bowl of cereal that was it but we just wanted to open up presents and now since I am grown and work nights when I get in and the food is done I might eat a little. One food I will not eat is liver never liked it.
Jodi, as a child I hated tomatoes and mushrooms, now I absolutely love mushrooms, especially cooked over a delicious steak, and raw on salads. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas 🎄.
Omg 5 dozen cookies and everything else. I think you’ll be sending everyone home with a doggy bag. You house looks beautiful. Fair play to you hosting so many. Seeing poor Clarke by the window really shows the skinning he got, TG it’s growing back. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful 2024. 🙇♀️👏💪👍💐🙏🦮🐈⬛🎄
Marry that’s only the sugar cookies. There will be 5-6 other varieties too 😂😂 I know!! My poor boy looks so pitiful. But yes it’s growing and his eyelashes have started coming back too so I’m happy ❤️ Thank you 🤗
Hi, Jodi! When I was a kid, I didn’t like mushrooms, but when I got older I fell in love with them, especially on steak. Growing up the only vegetables we had were corn and peas. I don’t like canned peas, but the frozen I like. Same for green beans. I prefer the frozen veggies. I guess the reason for my veggie taste was because that’s what my mother liked. I learned to taste new foods and I love most of them. I hate Brussels sprouts and liver. I also hate escargot. I do like chicken livers fried up. We are going to my son-in-law’s brother’s house to watch the Lions game and spending the day on Christmas Eve day. May stay home on Christmas and have my grandchildren come over to my house. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Hugs! Your southern Michigan neighbor!💙💙💙💙💙🎄🥰💜
I think you are the same with me on the food . For me it's the texture. If I don't like the texture i don't like the food. No oysters, no mushrooms,no cooked spinach, no lima beans, but also no pate lol. Also , the runner may look cute in the window. Ps Merry Christmas and slow down on Xmas eve and Day and enjoy the family ! You deserve it !
Im watching the day after Christmas...no time earlier! I hope youre relaxing today... certainly my plan...taking the day easy, thankful for family and friends, a truly enjoyable Christmas!
I definitely working on decluttering my house. I making progress that I can tell lol but anyone else probably be like what have you been doing 😂. I let it go for years, I embarrassed to say but I finally trying.
I have to agree I can’t stand mushrooms. My bf tries to sneak them into food when he cooks but I pick them out every time no matter how small 😂 I absolutely love all the plants and holiday decor. Funny thing with my dog she is completely potty trained but if I put anything in her crate she will pee on it sooooo she only has the plastic bottom now. Animals are so funny!! I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas!!!
I put in a new faucet for my kitchen sink and got my kitchen cabinets and doors cleaned. Also doing the normal everyday cleaning. Feels good to get stuff done
Merry Christmas!! So funny, my Golden doodle Ivory is up my butt every step of the way too!! For Christmas morning I always make cinnamon rolls and a French toast bake. And you know I'm a couponer too and when someone is in line in front of me and I see what they bought and their total I always want to tell them about a coupon in app😅😅 but hey, I get it, it's a lot of work!
Great job on the tidying up, and great cleaning motivation. We hosted Christmas as well this year for the first time and it was very enjoyable having everyone over. I’ve worked hard this year on keeping a tidy house so cleaning isn’t too overwhelming for events and I can just do maintenance cleaning.
It so funny that you say that. I started following you like six months ago, maybe more, I struggle with time but I have went to your very first video and watch everyone while I’ve been working on my house. You keep me company all the time. 🖤😂
Jodie we use our wine glasses every holiday not for wine but any thing we have to drink, coke, orange juice, etc. I have wine glasses to match every holiday, love using them. As far as cookies I made 8 baking sheets of cookies, crazy I know😂😂😂
I’m working today in the house to get ready for Christmas Day hosting. We do a large breakfast of gravy biscuits, eggs, bacon, sausage, tenderloin, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, grits, and home canned jelly and apple butter.
Merry Christmas Jodi and Family!!! I still to this day cannot eat olives of any kind. I think it is the texture of them. I will miss you next week but enjoy the time off - you deserve it. Until next year!!!
I have learned to use alittle cooking oil on the back of my suction cups for my stain glass pretties. I live in SDak with cold weather too and the windows get warm and cold so I think these suction cups stay up better. I enjoy your videos and it pumps me up to clean! You and your family have a Merry Christmas ! 🎄🎁
I love the table runners and yes paper plates are perfect for BIG (20 people!!😳) holiday celebrations. I can't believe mom ordered 5 dozen cookies!! Omg I'm coming over!!😂😂😂 I love your little family and can't wait to see more!! Merry Christmas!!!👍🎅🎄🎁💞🌟🙏💙Also, food I hate is beets. They are the dirt turds of the veggieland. LOL😂😝
Hey jodi, merry Christmas... I'm already for Xmas...I just have to drive 3 roads away..for Xmas at my dad's! Today I'm doing a house tidy on my house, as I usually do it Sundays..however I have to bake my brother his gluten free biscuits, and then Im out in the afternoon for a couple hours!... I have managed to run errands, get load laundry done and hung up!, painted my nails...and gone through the TV guide for what to watch over Xmas as I have the whole week off... Yep no client cleans for a week...🥳 I have SOOO much planned for the new year though!! For me and my channel! And do you know what I do on a rainy day in January...once I have taken down the tree decorations....yep I get the SEED BOX out...and choose from all my seeds WHAT I'm gonna plant for 2024!... And now we have had the winter solstice...the nights will be drawing out 🤗🤗🤗 Anyway I've rambled..enjoy Xmas with the family!
I started watching your channel Christmas 2 years ago, I was very sick at the time and somehow a decluttering video was recommended to me and I've been watching ever since Merry Christmas your house is beautiful~
Hello, as requested I'm saying hi as I am new here. GGM Creates recommended you, and said you have a couponing channel, which I find intriguing, so am headed there next.😊 Pretty plant beside your kitchen sink.🪴 Take care and happy new year!🎉
I feel exactly the same when I see people paying full price lol I'm also picking up the house and finishing up some baking. Hope you any your family have a very merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
The centerpiece is beautiful! We always have monkey bread for Christmas morning! It is my kids favorite thing. Liver. I can't even look at it. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
It’s Christmas Day here in Australia. Lunch has been done with family and friends so all just taking a break. Popped on and saw you’d left a video. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family hope it’s a magical day.
0mg love love to see extra video from you. the clarke slow mo is for sure the highlight of it😂 warm wishes this Christmas to you and the family. BTW, if you wanna use a carpet powder cleaner try the arm and hammer gain scent. omg it smells so good after cleaning.
I love this bonus video! Thank you. The centerpiece is so pretty. I just finished wrapping uggh! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy all your family time.

Merry Christmas 🎄
Wow! Sometimes we need to just have a talk with ourselves. Well done!!!
First time I’ve seen Clark since his haircut. Can’t believe she cut his head like that. He doesn’t look the same.
Debbie I know 🤦♀️
MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄HAPPY HOLIDAYS🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR🍾

I am so glad your not gonna take clark back to that groomer again. Poor baby. Have a great Christmas Jodi! Blessings to the family!!
My family and friends always saying oh I don't have time to learn or I don't have the patience to coupon now it is easier for me because I don't get any paper coupons I just use the digital ones because sometimes my stores wouldn't take the paper coupons.
Clarks new haircut reminded me of cruela deville😂 tiny face/neck and big fluffy coat. He still so adorable
Oh my gosh I know. My poor boy. It’s growing out though. Hopefully in 2 months I’ll be able to even it out some 😂
Jodi you and Donna Jean have mastered the English accent, I would like to see you both trying the Scottish accent 😂
Kathleen we can only handle one 😂😂
😂😂
I didn't recognize poor Clarkie!
Im so glad you are having family over now!! ❤❤❤
Have a wonderful time with family! 🥰
Cookies freeze well...as a current cookie monster, there never can be too many cookies!😅
I need to freeze them right on Christmas Day because no way we’ll go through them all
Well you are the one who ordered 800 bulbs! I love liver pate too.
Thank you Jodi. I needed the motivation. My adult son decided to host at my house. I have nary decoration up on 12/23 and a pile of clutter I’ve been unable to mentally address for months. 👀🫣 nothing like a bit of pressure to make you deal with it. Merry Christmas🎄

You can freeze the extra cookies in freezer containers or freezer Ziploc bags.

I have two corner windows that my old pup likes to look out. What a mess! Hair, nose prints, and doggy drool at those two windows!!
It’s crazy how much they leave behind during the window stares 😂
Great video. The dining room looks so amazing :) all of it does. Love IT!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year's 😊
Merry Christmas Jodi🎄🎅🎄
It so funny that you say that. I started following you like six months ago, maybe more, I struggle with time but I have went to your very first video and watch everyone while I’ve been working on my house. You keep me company all the time. 🖤😂
Awe I’m so glad I’m keeping you company while you are working in your home ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Happy Holidays to you and your family
Every time I see the picture of your grandmother, I think its your grandmother
I think of Barbara Streisand 💕🎄
She would absolutely love to hear that ❤️❤️❤️
I love pate! So happy that your family will enjoy your beautiful home. Happy Holidays sweetie 😘!
Your video was just the kick in the rear end I needed this morning!!
Yay I’m so glad Heather ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my gosh Jennell what a wonderful idea!! I have to start doing that ❤️
Yes in my part of Canada, they always state "one coupon per item." Bummer eh!
I’m working today in the house to get ready for Christmas Day hosting. We do a large breakfast of gravy biscuits, eggs, bacon, sausage, tenderloin, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, grits, and home canned jelly and apple butter.
Wow that sounds so good!! Enjoy your yummy breakfast Allison ❤️
Jodi! Im also making a breakfast casserole and sausage balls for Christmas morning 🎄
Yay Sarah. It’s gonna be a yummy breakfast ❤️
Hi Jodi! One thing that can’t touch my lips are marshmallows! Nice job tidying up for all your company. Merry Christmas to you and your family🎄
Clark is so cute, but with his new "do" his head looks like it belongs to a miniature poodle size, and his body to a German
Shepherd 12:56 size. Haha
Merry Christmas Jodie, all the best for the coming year.
Thank you 🤗🤗
Merry Christmas Jodi and Family!!! I still to this day cannot eat olives of any kind. I think it is the texture of them. I will miss you next week but enjoy the time off - you deserve it. Until next year!!!
