Jodi!!! Pro organizer here. I would recommend 2 things. First, turn your boxes so that the label is showing so that everyone can see what the boxes are. And second, I would label the shelves so that everyone knows what is where and can help put things away. Great job gal!!
Those canisters would be great for bathroom supplies or in a cupboard/pantry. Since you have cats, their food or treats are another great candidate. Good call hanging onto them! Sometimes donations should leave right away and sometimes we should let them simmer when the object is meaningful and practical. 😊 Oh! Another idea: one of them could be a cute vase!
I think the reason I enjoy your video's so much, is because I always laugh with you! You make me laugh, and we all need a good laugh, especially a fun laugh like yours.
Just a note on diffusing oils, check with your vet on which ones aren't safe for cats/animals. There are definitely ones that are toxic for them even diffused but there are lots that are safe! Wonderful cleaning job and sending hope and good thoughts to you and your family in this hard time.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 unless a cat is enclosed in an area with a diffuser, or might be likely to mess with it, you’re good to go with it. Dogs are more likely have a problem with some oils. So, enjoy it ☺️ xxo
So many thoughts for this video!!! #1 The catch-all bin on the counter could be replaced w/ an open top file folder like The Minimal Mom uses (can find her video on here if you want) #2 For the canisters, I wonder if you can put sticker labels over the existing labels but for stuff you actually use like I don’t know dishwasher pods for example #3 The Panty… I’m surprised you haven’t turned the pantry nook into a coffee/breakfast bar. Just a thought. #4 For the sagging shelves, I’ll wondering if you could flip them upside down and let gravity put them back level over time. #5 just kidding!!! I’m done lol Love your videos. I never comment this much but your positivity is so contagious that I wanted to share some thoughts just for fun!!
Awe thank you so much! That’s a great idea to turn the shelves. But unfortunately they don’t come out easily. They are on clips that are attached and basically you have to break the clips to get them out 🤦♀️ It’s probably cheap to replace them but I’m not messing with them until I absolutely have to 😂 We don’t drink coffee so no coffee bar needed. I only have coffee in case we have guests that drink it. Great idea to use one of the canisters for dishwasher pods ❤️
I have a confession...i found your couponing videos a few weeks ago and im so sorry please don't take offense but your laugh was too much for me but now i find it comforting somehow and i am watching all your vids. my kids went back on Aug 3rd, my daughter is super crafty too and your Gus was absolutely adorable (saw in the vid of basement declutter) Thank you for sharing your home with everyone.
Oh gosh Jessica if only I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that 😂 It used to bother me when I was younger and I’d try to adapt to be more accepted but I got over that. Definitely doesn’t offend me in the least. Thank you for being here ❤️
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 Its delightful when im having a bad day like today. 11yrs ago today my brother lost his fight with depression and ironically it is suicide prevention awareness month so the entire month is rough. i watched your videos almost all day Thank you for what you do.
That’s my favorite diffuser - I love it! PLEASE be really careful, though, with diffusing oils. In case you weren’t aware, some of them can be toxic for animals to breathe or ingest (droplets can get on their fur, then lick).
🙋🏻♀️ Jodi, Regarding the dates on food, it’s more of a use by date not an expiration date that the contents inside are spoiled and/or moldy. The food is just not as fresh but still edible. Also have you heard of Cass from Clutterbug. She has a RUclips channel that helps people organize using four different organizing styles. It might help maintain your house because your family and you might have different styles of organizing stuff. Also she just did a video about paper clutter a few weeks ago. It helped me a lot. Just thought it might help.
Yes I’ve talked about Cass in several previous videos. That’s how I finally learned my organization type and learning I’m a cricket I finally understood why things weren’t working for me. Now that I know it’s so much better ❤️ Thanks for sharing
Your toaster looks like a printer! 🖨️ I dunno if you're attached, but when we removed the magnets from the dishwasher and fridges, they helped reduce the visual clutter!
Oh my gosh a printer 😂😂😂😂 It does kind of. Yes we are in a season of life right now with young grandkids. And EJ goes for the magnetics every time. So they stay put. It definitely looks cleaner without them, but I always go for function over aesthetic ❤️
I also have a cannister set that belonged to my grandmother/2nd mom...I use mine for kids snacks! Mine are in my pantry but yours would work on the little countertop spot near your pantry cupboards as I remember u have baskets in the lower cabinets from a previous kitchen declutter video! Amazing job so far!🤩 Well done!🙌 Thanks for keeping it real...with humor!😁❤
Hi Jodi Wow you are such an inspiration with all your decluttering. I just found your channel and am loving watching you with all the hard work you have put into your home. I haven’t heard en seen all your videos, but the transformation in your garage, kitchen, family room and dining room are amazing! Again you are inspirational! Just had to chime I. And now go watch more of your journey.
I turned my broom and coat clostpet in the kitchen into my pantry years ago I fit 4 large shelves in there and ALOT of space on the floor added a slotted hi fold door and puck lights and I love it !!
I love your attitude, what works for you in organization. I take function over fashion any day. We live in an older home without a pantry so we have shelving from Menard's in the basement. A family has to do whatever works. Thanks for sharing the chair foot cover story!
Also Jodi, I stock up when I find things on a really good sale and with coupons. My fridge, freezer, and pantry are organized but busting at the seams. You are right. you do you. With inflation, If I find It cheap and we like it, I'm gonna get it.
I love when you and Donna Jean do the accents, I imagine Viv and your husband walking around rolling their eyes muttering “they’re doing it again”. 🤣❤️
What an awesome job you did with your organization. You always amaze me. I think I need to follow your lead and just pick a spot and start cleaning. Thanks for sharing your life/home with us. Blessings to you and your family 😊
New sub 👋🏾! I enjoyed this video. Love your personality and sense of humour! Awesome job on the pantry tidy and organization. Yes, sometimes a little bit of time is all it takes to make things orderly again. Fantastic! Prayers going up for your stepdad 🙏🏾! Thanks for sharing 💕!
Great idea about using the canisters. I would not paint them because I suggest putting them on the mantle with some faux flowers or greenery. Not on the shelves
I love diffusing young livings Christmas spirit….all year! It just makes me happy! I also diffuse purification in the kitchen every night to get rid of cooking smells. I have to diffuse that one at night because I can’t stand the smell of it! But it does get rid of odors.
As far as your grandmother’s jars…. You seem to be really enjoying using faux plants in the rooms in your house. I wonder if you could get some sort of greenery that trails out of the tops of the jars and put them on the bookshelves. Maybe something like vines. If you wanted to get really crafty, maybe you could use the lids too. They could lean standing up kind of like a plate would in a display And you could decoupage a copy of a photo of each of your pets, I certainly know about Gus, And I believe you had mentioned one or two other pets? Anyway just brainstorming some ideas. I bet your girls will help you come up with some even better ones! I really enjoy your channel, I even get giddy when I see a new episode has come out!
You almost made me pee my pants. I was laughing so much about the chairs. I am really sorry to hear about your stepfather. I just wanted to say I think you’re doing a great job with all your organizing and decluttering . And again thank you for another great video.
I agree with you about your pantry organizing also I like the size of your shelves, mine are so deep things get lost in the back. So hard for me to organize 😒. Love the videos
Jodi I’m sorry to hear about ur stepfather Prayers to y’all. Another Wonderful video, thank you for taking us with you. Donna ur definitely a Wonderful artist. Always enjoy ur Channel have a Wonderful week
The table is well loved by everyone in the family! I think the "flaws" that Donna Jean created are a great memory of what she created and how proud she was with what she did ( and remember how you love her pumpkin too!) It will be something to talk about for a long time! Who knows...maybe she will help her nephew and niece learn to create just like her and your grandma! I am loving the cats...I have 3 myself and they are my babies! Have a great day!
Finally got caught up on your videos after subscribing last week! And i refreshed to see this!! So excited ❤️❤️❤️ i need this motivation today because my kitchen is a disaster!!
Wow, everything looks so nice. I’m not much of a bin person. Like you I only have them for the envelopes for salad dressing. I do however use glass jars got beans. ~ Janet 😘
I definitely need to declutter everything, especially the kitchen!! At one point I had my downstairs pretty decent, organized, but the last several years it has become chaos again. My goal for September is tackle the kitchen!!
Jodi, your reorganized pantry looks wonderful! I'm like you; I don't use bins because they seem to take up too much room. I do have a couple of containers to hold my instant mashed potatoes and noodles and rice packets, though (otherwise they fall over and off the shelf). Also, I read that using nail polish remover with acetone on a cotton ball will remove the Krazy Glue from your wooden table. Be sure to blot it off & then wash it thoroughly with soap & water. Sending prayers & positive thoughts for your step-dad & your family.
I am so glad you decided to repurpose your grandmas canisters! I literally gasped when you said you were donating them 🤣🤣 I just love looking around my house at the little things here and there that remind me of lost family. ❤️ My boys are in 10th & 11th and school started yesterday
Try putting mayonnaise on the krazy glue then in a bit pushing a thin edged nylon turner to try to get under the edge and pop off the glue. The acetone will remove the stain and make the top of table look melted, will take shine off of table The mayo is oil based, use full fat kind. Will not remove finish. Works on water stains on wood to remove white mark Had success with newer glue on wood table, but nothing took it off the laminate counter
Omg Jodi the chair feet covers 😂😂😂 I would have totally done the same thing 🤪 That’s when I have to break out my calculator to double and triple check everything. Oh brother thanks for the giggle 🤭🥰❤️☀️ Edited as I’m watching, I’m so very sorry to hear the news of your step dad. You know I’m always sending prayers to you and your whole family 🙏❤️
I don’t use baskets either. You can flip the bowed shelves over. I like your pantry cabinet better than mine, mine has way deeper shelves that roll out. You lose a lot of shelf space when they roll out. I really enjoy your videos, your laugh is contagious. 😃
I use the canisters for other items than what they are labeled for, one is that I buy the Jolly Time popcorn kernels from the Dollar Tree, or sometimes from Aldi's if they have it. My daughter loves popcorn so I keep it in the canister with a small scoop or measuring cup right inside with it. Once you open the bag it needs to go in something and I found the canisters work well. Additionally, I use a lot of macaroni, so once I open the box, I use a canister for that as well. 😀 I like the idea for the largest one to use flowers or greenery & place on the mantel, great idea! ❤
Jodi, I just started watching your channel, and I said to my husband, “I wonder if she’s from Michigan. I recognize my own accent!” It’s the way you said “bags” and “darn.” I looked and saw that your PO Box is in Michigan! I’m from the southwest MI area, and I have lived in Chicago for over a decade, but the MI accent is still strong with me hahaha. People say it’s “cute.” Anyway - I’m enjoying your videos! Keep it up! - Ellen
Hi Ellen 🤗 I always get comments about my “accent”, which I didn’t know I had one until I started posted videos 😂 Love that your Michigan stays strong ❤️❤️ Thanks for being here
I can't believe how well your house looks and you look Jodi! You just look like it's getting easier and easier with the decluttering and cleaning. Well done girl! Keep enjoying making your house how you love it. Jo from Australia xxx
Hello! I'm new! I'm recently retired and am trying to organize the clutter I accumulated. I used to work 60-70 hour work weeks and also traveled a lot. Cleaning is not my strong suit! I've been decluttering my pantry and just did my laundry room. Enjoy you!
Pantry looks great! Now I need to go organize mine 🤣 the swayed shelves look familiar. We’ve had those too and we flipped the shelves over and they straightened out over time.
After watching your videos I ordered a jar of that pink stuff Want to try it in my shower I moved from a house to an apartment was extremely hard downsizing So I have decluttering one of my big closet 3 times already trying to eliminate a little bit each time For me decluttering is endless But keeps me busy Love all your videos Jodi including your couponing videos You inspire so many people Thank you for all you do
I always look forward to your videos! I find each time I organize my cupboards or drawers I get rid of more each time. Now there’s only my husband and myself and it’s been hard to downsize things, especially food, we’ve wasted so much in past years I have to pay attention to what I purchase now. Great video!👍😊❤️
iam so sorry to hear about ur step dad sending big hugs to u ur family and ur mum. I hope having ur grandson for a bit helped my heart always feels a little lighter when my grand daughter gives me 1 of her big hugs. Usually they means she wants something lol but they still help me . ❤
Hi Jodi! I'm so sorry to hear about your stepdad. Praying for y'all! My son started college two weeks ago. I just can't believe he's already in college. It goes by so quickly. I hope the girls have had a great week of school. Great job of getting your kitchen cleaned up, it looks great! I have two bookshelves that I need to work on today. One has books and the other has all of our board games. We love to play board games, so I need to make more room to fit them on there nicely.
For those cannisters I would put flower arrangements in them, and put the kids somewhere safe in case you decide you want to then recycle them back into the kitchen to hold seasonal cookies or coffee beans or seasonal coffee blends like for fall or Christmas with a cute seasonal label attached to front Or you can put one on your bedroom with a flower arrangement so you can see your grandmother's cannisters every day I know how precious the every day things that belonged to our lost loved ones can be .....
Forgot to add::: .my great aunt's wooden cutting board has been hard shellacked and now hangs on my kitchen wall as a reminder of all the meals she used it for, and when she was teaching me how to cut veggies and fruit and meat using that cutting board. She passed in 1982 and I have treasured it ever since then.... It's now been mine for 40 years, I got it when she passed when I was 12 years old
Hi Jodi, the project I'm working on is my closet. I've already donated tons of my clothing and my other project is shredding papers I don't need. It's a lot of work but I need to do this decluttering because I will be moving soon.
I am new to your channel! I’m the same way if the kitchen isn’t clean then the house is dirty! I have always heard that the kitchen is the heart of home! Sorry to hear about your step dad! 💔 I lost my dad in January and it is still hard to deal with (cancer also) but I have had to step up more with my mom! I’m the oldest! However my little sister (just us 2) has tried to start problems and I have had to deal with her to help my mom! Anyway thanks for the videos!
Oh Darlene I am so sorry! Praying for you and sending you hugs 🙏🤗 I have a younger sister as well but she’s not super close. So it’s just me to help out.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 thank you! It’s hard when things happen and you think this will help pull your family closer together but sometimes it just doesn’t work that way! Prayers and hugs for you always! I just finished my nightly prayers and asked to remember you and your family! ❤️
Well done! The knife block could b moved to a cabinet. Then u could buy the 12 x 9 inch Toaster oven/airfryer/ broiler, and replace the toaster with it. It toasts 6 slices a bread at once.
Jodi!!! Pro organizer here. I would recommend 2 things. First, turn your boxes so that the label is showing so that everyone can see what the boxes are. And second, I would label the shelves so that everyone knows what is where and can help put things away. Great job gal!!

Those canisters would be great for bathroom supplies or in a cupboard/pantry. Since you have cats, their food or treats are another great candidate. Good call hanging onto them! Sometimes donations should leave right away and sometimes we should let them simmer when the object is meaningful and practical. 😊
Oh! Another idea: one of them could be a cute vase!
I KNEW your Tank Girl was gonna jump when the toast popped out, but I still laughed so hard I woke the dog up when it happened. 😆
Oh that’s funny Jessie 😂
I really appreciate your sense of humor and how you keep it real. That interaction with your husband and the chair feet covers was hilarious.😊
Thank you JL 🤗
Not my proudest moment 😂
I think the reason I enjoy your video's so much, is because I always laugh with you! You make me laugh, and we all need a good laugh, especially a fun laugh like yours.

That’s my favorite diffuser - I love it! PLEASE be really careful, though, with diffusing oils. In case you weren’t aware, some of them can be toxic for animals to breathe or ingest (droplets can get on their fur, then lick).
Yes several people told me that so I’m not even going to use it. Makes me too nervous
🙋🏻♀️ Jodi, Regarding the dates on food, it’s more of a use by date not an expiration date that the contents inside are spoiled and/or moldy. The food is just not as fresh but still edible.

Hi...new here, love your laugh...going to Bing watch...you make me smile
Hi Cathleen 🤗
Thanks for being here ❤️
Pantry is definitely organized 😃!
❤️
Try putting mayonnaise on the krazy glue then in a bit pushing a thin edged nylon turner to try to get under the edge and pop off the glue.
The acetone will remove the stain and make the top of table look melted, will take shine off of table
The mayo is oil based, use full fat kind. Will not remove finish. Works on water stains on wood to remove white mark
Had success with newer glue on wood table, but nothing took it off the laminate counter
Thank you so much. I’ve had so many suggestion of acetone but was afraid it would damage the table.
Omg Jodi the chair feet covers 😂😂😂 I would have totally done the same thing 🤪 That’s when I have to break out my calculator to double and triple check everything. Oh brother thanks for the giggle 🤭🥰❤️☀️
Edited as I’m watching, I’m so very sorry to hear the news of your step dad. You know I’m always sending prayers to you and your whole family 🙏❤️
Shine I didn’t even bother because I was so confident 8 covers work for 8 chairs 🤦♀️😂
Thank you so much!!
I don’t use baskets either. You can flip the bowed shelves over. I like your pantry cabinet better than mine, mine has way deeper shelves that roll out. You lose a lot of shelf space when they roll out. I really enjoy your videos, your laugh is contagious. 😃
Thank you 🤗
Yes there are pros and cons to both 😊
I use the canisters for other items than what they are labeled for, one is that I buy the Jolly Time popcorn kernels from the Dollar Tree, or sometimes from Aldi's if they have it. My daughter loves popcorn so I keep it in the canister with a small scoop or measuring cup right inside with it. Once you open the bag it needs to go in something and I found the canisters work well. Additionally, I use a lot of macaroni, so once I open the box, I use a canister for that as well. 😀 I like the idea for the largest one to use flowers or greenery & place on the mantel, great idea! ❤
Karen that’s awesome! Yep using items to fit our needs is the best. Even if it says it’s for flour 😂
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 mine are actually clear jars from fancy Christmas cashews, but just ideas!
Jodi, I just started watching your channel, and I said to my husband, “I wonder if she’s from Michigan. I recognize my own accent!” It’s the way you said “bags” and “darn.” I looked and saw that your PO Box is in Michigan!
I’m from the southwest MI area, and I have lived in Chicago for over a decade, but the MI accent is still strong with me hahaha. People say it’s “cute.”
Anyway - I’m enjoying your videos! Keep it up!
- Ellen
Hi Ellen 🤗
I always get comments about my “accent”, which I didn’t know I had one until I started posted videos 😂
Love that your Michigan stays strong ❤️❤️
Thanks for being here
I can't believe how well your house looks and you look Jodi! You just look like it's getting easier and easier with the decluttering and cleaning. Well done girl! Keep enjoying making your house how you love it. Jo from Australia xxx
Thank you so much Jo 🤗🤗🤗
Hello! I'm new! I'm recently retired and am trying to organize the clutter I accumulated. I used to work 60-70 hour work weeks and also traveled a lot. Cleaning is not my strong suit! I've been decluttering my pantry and just did my laundry room. Enjoy you!
Oh Kelli congratulations on your retirement! That is so exciting ❤️❤️❤️
Pantry looks great! Now I need to go organize mine 🤣 the swayed shelves look familiar. We’ve had those too and we flipped the shelves over and they straightened out over time.
that's looking promising) anticipating some gooood decluttering
After watching your videos I ordered a jar of that pink stuff Want to try it in my shower I moved from a house to an apartment was extremely hard downsizing So I have decluttering one of my big closet 3 times already trying to eliminate a little bit each time For me decluttering is endless But keeps me busy Love all your videos Jodi including your couponing videos You inspire so many people Thank you for all you do
Cindy I love the pink stuff!
Yes decluttering is endless for me too 😂
Thank you so much! I appreciate you friend ❤️
Function over aesthetics for me as well. I leave products in the boxes, especially pasta.
❤️❤️❤️
Great job! Try a hair dryer and old credit card as a scraper to try and get the glue off. Also, vinegar might work.
Thank you Barbara ❤️
Awesome pantry reorganization!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
I always look forward to your videos! I find each time I organize my cupboards or drawers I get rid of more each time. Now there’s only my husband and myself and it’s been hard to downsize things, especially food, we’ve wasted so much in past years I have to pay attention to what I purchase now. Great video!👍😊❤️
U can put them as a flower vases or holidays as Christmas /Halloween decorations for flowers or spiders getting outside the jars
Thank you ❤️
Wow your own mini warehouse
You are so funny! I always say, everybody has some blonde moments! Could have been me! 😂
🤣🤣
Lol..,that’s funny about the chair feet covers. Sounds like something I’d do Jodi. Silly me.
😂😂😂
iam so sorry to hear about ur step dad sending big hugs to u ur family and ur mum. I hope having ur grandson for a bit helped my heart always feels a little lighter when my grand daughter gives me 1 of her big hugs. Usually they means she wants something lol but they still help me . ❤
Maria thank you so much 🤗🤗
Yes he brightens up my day every time I see him ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jodi! I'm so sorry to hear about your stepdad. Praying for y'all! My son started college two weeks ago. I just can't believe he's already in college. It goes by so quickly. I hope the girls have had a great week of school. Great job of getting your kitchen cleaned up, it looks great! I have two bookshelves that I need to work on today. One has books and the other has all of our board games. We love to play board games, so I need to make more room to fit them on there nicely.
Thank you Julie ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh college! That’s very exciting. Hope he is enjoying it.
Looks great lady!
Thank you Tara ❤️
love watching your videos
Thank you Audrey ❤️
For those cannisters I would put flower arrangements in them, and put the kids somewhere safe in case you decide you want to then recycle them back into the kitchen to hold seasonal cookies or coffee beans or seasonal coffee blends like for fall or Christmas with a cute seasonal label attached to front
Or you can put one on your bedroom with a flower arrangement so you can see your grandmother's cannisters every day
I know how precious the every day things that belonged to our lost loved ones can be .....
Forgot to add::: .my great aunt's wooden cutting board has been hard shellacked and now hangs on my kitchen wall as a reminder of all the meals she used it for, and when she was teaching me how to cut veggies and fruit and meat using that cutting board. She passed in 1982 and I have treasured it ever since then.... It's now been mine for 40 years, I got it when she passed when I was 12 years old
Your doing amazing! ❤️ Love watching you!
My favorite essential oils are, orange, lemon, & peppermint. Nice and fresh smells!
Thank you Kia ❤️
Hi Jodi, the project I'm working on is my closet. I've already donated tons of my clothing and my other project is shredding papers I don't need. It's a lot of work but I need to do this decluttering because I will be moving soon.
Noemi that is great! Yes both a lot of work but well worth it ❤️❤️
I just love your videos!
Thank you so much Amanda ❤️
I am new to your channel! I’m the same way if the kitchen isn’t clean then the house is dirty! I have always heard that the kitchen is the heart of home! Sorry to hear about your step dad! 💔 I lost my dad in January and it is still hard to deal with (cancer also) but I have had to step up more with my mom! I’m the oldest! However my little sister (just us 2) has tried to start problems and I have had to deal with her to help my mom! Anyway thanks for the videos!
Oh Darlene I am so sorry! Praying for you and sending you hugs 🙏🤗
I have a younger sister as well but she’s not super close. So it’s just me to help out.
@@jodidunnmymessylife1847 thank you! It’s hard when things happen and you think this will help pull your family closer together but sometimes it just doesn’t work that way! Prayers and hugs for you always! I just finished my nightly prayers and asked to remember you and your family! ❤️
Well done! The knife block could b moved to a cabinet. Then u could buy the 12 x 9 inch Toaster oven/airfryer/ broiler, and replace the toaster with it. It toasts 6 slices a bread at once.
I just bought a new toaster. I’m not buying another one right now 😊
