I just thanked our Father for again leading me to just where I needed to be…amen! I was looking for help with my fridge and found so much more. I just clicked ‘subscribe!’
I no longer put leftovers in the fridge. I now immediately freeze them and later combine them with a future meal. My family just has something against leftovers. Now, they have no idea. 😂
I was looking for decluttering ideas, came across you Dawn, and delighted to discover that the Word came along with it! Love that you openly share His message 💕👍
You guys are at the top of my shrinking list of you tube channels I regularly watch. Because you are centered and grounded and offer freedom. Always love what you share. Thank you.
I absolutely love you both. You have improved my life so much since my 14 year old showed me your channel several months ago. I have a lot of work left in decluttering and organizing my home, but I am doing it one step at a time, little by little. Just like our homes that are a work in progress…. we declutter, getting rid of the non-essential and unimportant, our own lives, our selves are being transformed one step at a time. Here a little, there a little. Line upon line, precept upon precept. I SO appreciate your gospel perspective and that you let your light shine. Keep up your great work in sharing your talents, testimonies, and truths. So grateful for you. 💕
Absolutely me Too! Couldn’t agree more! They are so great! I do my Bible reading and then turn Dawn on, she’s inspirational fun and enthusiastic! She’s like cleaning ☀️
Amazing testimony 🙌🏻 I was moved by the Word Of God. I was going from video to video of cleaning and declutter and didn't find peace till I heard 2-Corinthians 3:18 ❤️ Found peace, that's what I needed. Praise the Lord
I like the phrase, "the grass grows where we water it." What we focus our attention on tends to flourish. When we worry, our minds get really good at worrying.

Did you know that comes from the Bible? - 1peter- for all flesh are as grass. And the glory of men as the flower of grass. The grass withereth and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the Lord endureth forever.. ( this is talking about the flesh falling away, but the Spirit inside Lives forever.) ( fruit has seeds inside. We are the firstfruits) Jesus is the firstfruits and we are IN him, so we are too. And the Spirit Jesus is the water- with His water you shall never thirst. Deut 32:2- My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: The Bible is a Spiritual book. Written in signified language. Metaphors. The sea is the sea of people. The clouds are the clouds of witnesses. The field is the people where the wheat and tares grow. We all come from a family tree. The evil tree or the tree of Life. Jesus is the root and branch. Rev- I Am the root and the offspring of David. The tree has branches. They bare fruit., seeds. The evil tree has fruit that has corrupt seed, which we’ve all been born from. ( Adam and Eve). But when we believe the gospel we get the INcorruptible Seed which is the word of God, which Liveth and abideth Forever. Everything is beautifully written and explained with these pictures. We believers are the Temple of God. We are Living Stones that build up the Temple. Jesus is the chief cornerstone. 1Tim 2:5- There Is ONE GOD and One Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. The man Christ Jesus is 2- God ( Spirit) ( deity) Man ( Flesh) ( human).

IT IS FINISHED!! It’s All Been done for you! Believers are born again from the Tree of Life!! There is nothing to do. Just believe in the ONE TRUE GOD!
Also, the Seed is the Word. We spread the seed. One plants, one waters ( gospel) and God giveth the Increase! He is the Sun! The only Light we need! The Living Water! The bread of Life!! 💕
I’m a missionary kids and grew up in church, but have always struggled with stagnation. I needed to hear what was shared in this video. Expected to learn from fridge hacks, but also got some good, well timed reminders. God bless you both.
I love seeing an empty fridge & pantry! People think I'm crazy but I love having used up everything and also starting fresh with a new week of groceries.
What a blessing this post was for me!!! I was drawn to the title because I just filled my fridge 2 hours ago and thought I could pick up some tips (I like the one about the onions). But your devotion was just what I needed to hear. I wrote "What we behold, we become" in my Bible next to 2 Cor 3:18. You see, I filled my fridge with vegs & fruit because when I was shopping with a friend yesterday, I saw myself in a mirror and was horrified with how I looked, and I'm starting a new weight loss plan. You nudged me to see all this in a different light - seeing myself as being transformed - becoming more like Jesus. Isn't it awesome how God loves us through other people?!!
Thanks, ladies, for encouraging this missionary pastor’s wife! As for the fridge, my hubby banned non-see-through leftover containers years ago. We only have one grocery store in our small town (so their prices aren’t all that great), so we have to stock up on things when we go to a larger town an hour away. We do buy produce & perishables locally in between trips. I’m purging a little at a time, so it’s not overwhelming. Yesterday, I purged a bookshelf in my bedroom & found a treasure! It was a poem one of my sons had written in 2005, about me & my dog. That son is now married, an assistant pastor & they’re expecting their 4th child! Said dog left us last year after 16.5 yrs of loyalty & love. Yes, I cried when I found that poem! Thanks for all of your encouragement to get rid of the excess stuff in our lives! 😊❤️
In January you recommended The Bible Recap one year bible study. I found that and read the chapters that would bring me up to date. Now I am reading the selected chapters each morning and listening to Tara-Leigh's daily reflections and I have learned so much. Whether others see it in me or not, I feel the change my daily bible reading has made in my life. Thank you both for sharing your faith and giving us a wonderful way to face the week ahead.
I am doing this too! I started Jan 5th and have only “made up” 2 of the 4 days I missed, but have not missed a day and love it. I could listen to TLC teach for hours. She makes it engaging and helps you to be in awe of God’s character as well.
This was so timely. Lent has just started and I have been looking to fix my eyes more on the Lord. I had no expectation that I would be searching for minimalism and find an admonition to be in the Word, among other things. . Thanks so much! God bless
I've been watching your posts over a year now and have learned so much. Still not the minimalist I need to be but slowly I'm learning. I truly enjoy the days you both share together from Gods Word and feel like when you pray it's especially for me. This post was especially meaningful to me as I know I need to spend less time online but when I find such jewels that speak to me like this post did it makes it hard. Indo want to spend more time in Gods Word and please pray I will be able to withstand other things that get in the way of that commitment. Thank you for sharing your lives with me. I live alone so i enjoy the camaraderie i get from you sharing your great ideas and blessings and joy in the Lord.
I turned on the video to listen while I am working through my kitchen, and you have no idea how much what your sister shared touched my heart today. I needed that reminder more than you can know. Thank you ladies!
Regarding onions in the frig.... I learned from Clean Food Dirty Girl that by storing your onions in the frig they won’t make you cry when cutting them. It really works. 😊
I chop up onion, that has been in the bin too long, (also peppers and celery) and put it in the freezer then, use that onion in soups and casseroles. The flavor is just as good and it prevents waste. If it is stored in plastic zip bags it can be laid flat while freezing to make it easier to break into portions, if necessary. Thanks for the encouraging words.
You gals are so sweet. I really appreciate your willingness to share not only the practical household tips with those of us that need it, but you also share with us your spiritual "aha" moments so that we can be lifted also.
You’re dad is a funny guy!! I say that to my husband about his leftovers. He tells me to put them in the refrigerator and I ask “shall I just toss now so I don’t have to do it in 4 days?” Lol. I think it just makes him feel better that he doesn’t have to see it go in the trash lol
What a wonderful blessing you two have been to me and my family. I cannot thank you enough for what you do. So far, I have removed about 25 large boxes of "stuff" from our home. What a wonderful feeling!! I feel the weigh of that stuff has lifted off of me. I am able to keep my dishes done...most days ;-) which is an amazing accomplishment for me. I am on top of the laundry like never before. I am going room-to-room and decluttering what we absolutely do not need any more. There's even been a new sense of calmness in our home that I have so been looking for for a very long time. I have a ways to go still but there is such a peace that following your example has brought me that I had to share it with you now. And thank you for sharing God's Word with us. It has been a much needed source of comfort to me. Thank You! :-)
I just discovered you on RUclips. Thank you so much for your help. I’m 68 years young and I’m on a constant journey to minimalize. Being raised by parents who lived through the Depression, I was trained to hold on to things. Now I’m trying to change that mindset. I recently bought an instapot because everyone was raving about it. When I took it out of the box, I said to myself, “Do I really need another appliance at this stage of the game? I’ve managed to raise a family all these years without it.” I returned it the next day.
I just found this out...Don’t put onions and potato’s together...it makes the potatoes sprout. And if you put an apple in with your potatoes it keeps them from sprouting!
I didn't know about the apple in with the potatoes. I did know about the troubles with potatoes and onions, they also have an awful smell when together..
I love your minimalism tips and your spiritual tips. So encouraging. "Where we look we will go" is supported by the verse Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Our hearts follow what we deem as important. Thank you so much Dawn and Dianna for sharing your ideas and making "helping others " one of your treasures!
Late to the conversation but I really needed to hear that. Twice in my life I started and finished reading the Bible in a year. I had tried a couple times with just the list of what to read each day, but it wasn't until I got a special "Bible in a Year" version that is in the order that you read that I managed to do it. Listening to your testimony today I just realized how transformative those two years were for me in so many ways. Strangely I never attributed the transformation to the sitting with the Word daily. At the time I just wanted to be able to say I had read the entire Bible. Thank you.
Thank you for the message at the end ! I've been struggling thinking I've lost my "joy" over the past few years . I really needed to hear this. I recently left my job due to physical pain ,and am looking to spend time in the word daily. I need this . Thank you 💕
One of the many things I love about watching you is the fact that we are so much alike! Your refrigerator organization is very similar to mine which is very affirming! But what is beautifully surprising is the fact that you also manage to TAKE ME TO CHURCH at the exact moment I always need it! So thankful for your Christian sisterhood Dawn 💖💖💖
Thank-you again ladies - I feel the Lord is providing me with peace and joy in many ways, but that includes through your ministry and through happy home keeping. God Bless you !
For under the produce. (onion and potatoes) I’ve got 2 words. Puppy pads. I use puppy pads instead of paper towels they have a backing on them so any gunk and sludge doesn’t soak through and stink up your fridge or pantry.
Great idea. Putting a separate, removable bin inside the veggie bin seems like a good idea on the surface, but it would waste limited space. My fridge is small.
I just want to tell you guys that I just love you and Diana. I related to this video; especially the faith section where Diana reads and prays. Dawn, something you said hit me square in the face. The bit about the preacher who had an addiction and found strength to overpower that after reading the Bible every day spoke to me. I am addicted to food. I am a mood eater and food is a comfort to me. Needless to say I am morbidly obese because of this and have been having the hardest time with it. I was reminded of a time right after I gave my heart and life to Christ when I was reading my Bible a lot every day. Life was so wonderful then even with bad things happening all around me. Thank you so much for sharing that and reminding me what I should be focused on. God bless you both and your families. I love you guys!
What am I be holding? I enjoy watching Minimal Mom, Six miles to dinner, Jacolyns Orchids & Whipporwill Holler on RUclips. Talk about win win having you ladies in my life! I love to learn from you ladies! Thank you Dawn & Diana💞
In the little drawer next to the fridge I keep pen, sticky notes, and a small calender. I label my leftovers with a date. Sometimes yesterday seems weeks ago and last Monday seems like yesterday. It reminds me what NEEDS to be eaten first.
I use a written label with masking tape with what the left over is and with date. Also label my containers with pre-cut veggies to make it easy to use or snack on.
Thank you so much for this video! I love your sister. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony of hope and peace that come from reading the scriptures routinely. I’m so inspired. And I love your channel!
You beautiful ladies have helped me conquer my house little by little:) I’m working on my room lately. It’s been hard since losing my Dad before Christmas last year & other heavy trials in my life. You inspire me & you really motivate me to keep organized. My kids watch me & now organizing their own rooms:) Love ur spirit. Thanks for praying at the end of the video 🙏 God Bless u both.🥰
Oh, and Dawn. I met you and Darci when y’all came to Savannah, Ga. I sat next to you in Panera. Gray hair, black scrubs. You are even sweeter in person! Thanks so much for that trip to see us all. It was greatly appreciated!
These are great suggestions. I'm helping my parents organize their kitchen for their mobility issues, and they have a worse fridge now than when they had 3 teens at home. Mom said no wonder, you all ATE EVERYTHING! ❤️
I’m loving your videos, as they are helping me out a ton. You’ve given me SO much good advice, and this video is no exception. I thought I would share a rule that I have for health reasons: I designate the bottom shelf for eggs, meat, and anything else that needs to be cooked before eating. This is a habit I picked up from the restaurant industry and keeps any meat juices or broken eggs etc from dripping on anything else. I usually keep cooked or ready-to-eat food on the top shelf, produce and things that need to be washed on the middle shelf, and meat and eggs on the bottom shelf. New food goes in the back and older food comes to the front or gets thrown away or composted. Hope that helps someone avoid food borne illness or having to throw anything away.
I absolutely LOVE what you are doing with your channel! I've watched so many of your videos these last few days. You not only encourage me in my cleaning, but also spiritually and I am so grateful for that! You all are amazing with this amount of outreach in so many areas 😍
I could listen to you ladies all day. I am so glad I found your video. I was about to clean my refrigerator, which I was putting off, and you inspired me. I appreaciate your uplifting message, the scripture, and the prayer. Praise Jesus, Praise God. May God bless you both!
Thank you for your fun and encouraging videos. The quote you mentioned was so "to the point". I wrote it down and am going to hang it on my fridge. I need to spend more time in scripture and less time on Facebook!
Yes! I was just thinking I need to get my fridge under control! Perfect timing! Thank you for sharing your Faith. These are always my favorite videos. Love you guys!
As I start my journey to declutter and organize my home, thank you for the reminder that I need to declutter my schedule and organize it so that I have the space to spend time in the word every day and that is just as important. God Bless you for letting Him use you.
Thank you so much. This has spoken so much into my life today. My intentions are good but I find I spend too much time online and not enough in The Word. With God's help this will have to change. Thanks again.
Yessssss time with God and time also for yourself is so valuable This morning my dad leaves a message cause i didn't get to the phone " comment about going to church in a nice way " called him back and said church is at 9am now on tv because covid We have to set our priorities or the day will run us Taking time for scriptures will fill your heart with joy gratefulness
Hello again from Greece!! I was so looking forward to your video! Great ideas as always! My favourite...using containers in the fridge to manage items. Thank you to both! My Sunday is so much better when you are a part of it!
Thank you for your encouragement to stay in the Word even when you might not be feeling it's effects, it's still changing you from the inside out...bringing out the glory that lives on the inside of us! You posted this over a year ago but I thought you'd like to know that it is still helping people a year down the line. This is an issue that I'm struggling with right now and you helped encourage me at just the right time! You have a great channel btw!
Ohh, I LOVED this Soo much!! I've been a Christian most of my life but this video alone got me back into the Word this am. I usually don't comment but I just had to take time to thank you for sharing your faith! This is my new favorite minimalist/organization channel. May our Good Father richly bless you both!
Wow- I was just looking for fridge tips, but realized what I really needed was to hear the quote, encouragement, and prayer at the end. God bless you for sharing.
I replaced my fridge drawers with two huge Tupperware fridge smart containers. One for fruits and one for vegetables. It really helps to keep the produce longer!
Loved the encouragement on reading the Word and the prayer at the end was powerful. I had just bought clear plastic shoe boxes to put my breads/cheese/lunch meat in, plus a container for my lemons and limes for the drawers. Appreciating your YTs! ❤️
Just in the nick of time: my family is working on eating down the freezer and frig! Your idea about new appliances is great and I have to add that the big time chefs usually recommend against buying 'single use' tools: everything in the kitchen MUST serve several purposes, otherwise they are a waste of space and money! Thanks for your messages, also.
I love all of your videos but my favorite are the ones that your sister joins you in. I love hearing the stories about how the Lord works in peoples lives and her prayers at the end. Thank you both for the motivation, information, and encouragement you give. God bless you both !!
Why haven't frig manufacturers thought about appropriate sized bins on top of each shelf instead of just expecting that people only keep did in the drawers they decide to put in. Or at least an optional bin package that works with the demensions of the frig you're buying!
Having 3 teens and younger ones who help is a whole new ball game! I can be organized ! And get unorganized within 2 days! Got any ideas that help with teens and tweens who cook and are putting things in the fridge ? Thanks, Love your encouragement!! Yes, I believe what you have shared about the Word!
Loved today's fridge tips. I too like having an almost empty fridge each week. 😉 Thank you too for today's conversation about reading scripture. I have been reading the Bible each day for years and it does truly make a difference. 💜🙏💜
As to refrigerator drawers: I removed the 2 drawers and now have an extra shelf that is much more useful! Produce is stored in air circulating containers I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Onions are in a wire basket from Dollar Tree that hangs on the wall, potatoes in a wicker basket on the counter on opposite side of kitchen. I do keep tomatoes 🍅 in the fridge, especially in the summer. In Texas, food doesn’t last long when left out in the summer (and our summer is from April to October!). I do put potatoes in fridge during the summer, but only cut onions go in fridge! Diana, I really appreciate your devotional each Sunday!
Your videos about minimalism are helpful and I appreciate them, but every video with the specific truths of Christ Jesus are BEYOND INCREDIBLE. I get so excited everytime you guys start bringing up Bible passages and praying. Thank you so much for your boldness in God to bring Him up despite what others may think. The Love and Life He has for us all is so amazing and He is the ultimate helper beyond all else!! May He bless you both and may your viewers gleam His truths from you!
This is special to hear that your sister reads the passion translation! My father, who passed away in 2021, loved that translation. So it instantly made me think of him. Thanks lol
Wow, thank you so much Dawn and Diana. I came to this channel for minimalist tips, but I am so much more encouraged by your spiritual insight and devotions. Thank you for blessing my night, this word was exactly what I needed to hear today.
Came to learn about my fridge, left feeling like my spirit had been renewed. I’m struggling a lot today, and came to watch something light hearted on my lunch break..didn’t realize that you would be praying over me as well. 🙏🏻
The best tips my mom shared which make sense and she learned as a result of growung up during WWII - when food was scarce and precious is to do two things consistently to avoid food spoilage and waste. This has helped me be more deliberate about using and buying only what we need. One...Plan one day a week for either left overs or to make a dish that will use all the food that won't last much ling. For example...soup or a stir fry or an oven roasted veggies etc. Two....plan to do pantry meals only for a few days or a week..once every other month.
Thank you for encouraging us to be in God’s Word! What your pastor said is so true-daily time in the Word is healing. It’s our food. Diana has such a great way of articulating things. Well, actually you both do!!
AMEN!!! I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT TODAY - I NEED to open my Bible and Read EVERY DAY! Dawn our Leftover spot is in in the SAME SPOT as yours But now I want to go get some containers to keep my fridge more organized.
God is Invisible. You can’t see Him! We are Hid IN Christ!! The things seen are temporal!! Things Not seen are Eternal! ( 2Cor 4:18). John 4:24- GOD IS A SPIRIT And we must worship Him in spirit and in truth!! They are Fake. The Flesh is not Godly. The flesh is as filthy rags. Sin and death! The Spirit is Life. We see By Faith. Let our light shine so men can see it. ( By Faith). There is One GOD. And He Is A Spirit. And He is Inside of Every believer! And it doesn’t matter if you read your Bible or not, or do things trying to impress Him, IF HE’s IN You, You Are SPENDING TIME WITH HIM! You don’t turn it on and off! He Loves Us. He want All to be Saved! But you must believe. In the ONE TRUE GOD! And He IS LIFE. And when you have His Spirit in You, You Have LIFE!
Loved this word Diana. I think the opposite is also true. If we don’t spend time in the word it shows. You’ve inspired me to get in the word daily even if I don’t feel like it. Thanks ladies!
I love that u prayed it was so refreshing ! And beautiful. I have started reading my Bible and it is changing me piece by piece I also pray that I remember what I read and that I can use it daily !!!! Ty
Thank you for your encouragement today from God’s word! It just reminded me of time spent with him is never wasted! I love God and I love serving Him but when I neglect spending time with Him serving Him is not the same! Blessings to you both for taking time to do this❤️
So good! I loved all the tips and ideas especially the tip about using an appliance for 8-10 days to master it. Great idea. But most of all I loved the encouragement and that you are sharing God's word and the prayer. Our world is truly cluttered with craziness right now and what you are doing is exactly what the world needs. I know God must be so very pleased! Many blessings to you!
Love how I came here to conquer my fridge and came out conquering my need for the Word!! God bless you both! 😁
I was just thinking that...!
Same here!
I just thanked our Father for again leading me to just where I needed to be…amen! I was looking for help with my fridge and found so much more. I just clicked ‘subscribe!’
Same! What a pleasant surprise! May God bless you both and your ministry. 💕
Yes!
I no longer put leftovers in the fridge. I now immediately freeze them and later combine them with a future meal. My family just has something against leftovers. Now, they have no idea. 😂
Clever!
hahahahha brilliant!
❤️❤️
Good one!!!
That sounds like a great idea!
I was looking for decluttering ideas, came across you Dawn, and delighted to discover that the Word came along with it! Love that you openly share His message 💕👍

Amazing testimony 🙌🏻 I was moved by the Word Of God. I was going from video to video of cleaning and declutter and didn't find peace till I heard 2-Corinthians 3:18 ❤️ Found peace, that's what I needed. Praise the Lord
May we clean out our fridge and the dark corners of our lives! Love this truth spoken over our lives regarding our need for the Word! Amen!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🤟🏻
I like the phrase, "the grass grows where we water it." What we focus our attention on tends to flourish. When we worry, our minds get really good at worrying.

Neural pathways develop that help us enter into these new ways of thinking with more ease.

I saved your comment so I can refer to it often. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!!!
I’m a missionary kids and grew up in church, but have always struggled with stagnation. I needed to hear what was shared in this video. Expected to learn from fridge hacks, but also got some good, well timed reminders. God bless you both.

Looking at an empty fridge makes me happy and my kids nervous lol.
That’s hilarious!
Same
Same here hhhh
My late granny who spent several years hungry as a child due to WW2 used to say a stocked fridge gave her a sense of security
🤣
As always, I enjoy seeing the two of you on Sunday morning. Thank you for taking the time to minister to us. Hugs. 🥰
Diana and Dawn, you are such a blessing! Watching your videos always cheers me up and your love for the Father is amazing. You are so precious :)
Wow - I came for fridge hacks and I got LIVING WATER. Thank you for using your platform to point us to our Creator!
Thanks, ladies, for encouraging this missionary pastor’s wife! As for the fridge, my hubby banned non-see-through leftover containers years ago. We only have one grocery store in our small town (so their prices aren’t all that great), so we have to stock up on things when we go to a larger town an hour away. We do buy produce & perishables locally in between trips. I’m purging a little at a time, so it’s not overwhelming. Yesterday, I purged a bookshelf in my bedroom & found a treasure! It was a poem one of my sons had written in 2005, about me & my dog. That son is now married, an assistant pastor & they’re expecting their 4th child! Said dog left us last year after 16.5 yrs of loyalty & love. Yes, I cried when I found that poem! Thanks for all of your encouragement to get rid of the excess stuff in our lives! 😊❤️
In January you recommended The Bible Recap one year bible study. I found that and read the chapters that would bring me up to date. Now I am reading the selected chapters each morning and listening to Tara-Leigh's daily reflections and I have learned so much. Whether others see it in me or not, I feel the change my daily bible reading has made in my life. Thank you both for sharing your faith and giving us a wonderful way to face the week ahead.
I am doing this too! I started Jan 5th and have only “made up” 2 of the 4 days I missed, but have not missed a day and love it. I could listen to TLC teach for hours. She makes it engaging and helps you to be in awe of God’s character as well.
I started late January but have kept up, then my husband decided to read the Bible Recap and he’s caught up to me! We love it!
I started too, and caught up to the current day. It’s been great motivation to keep up with a reading plan!
This was so timely. Lent has just started and I have been looking to fix my eyes more on the Lord. I had no expectation that I would be searching for minimalism and find an admonition to be in the Word, among other things. . Thanks so much! God bless
I've been watching your posts over a year now and have learned so much. Still not the minimalist I need to be but slowly I'm learning. I truly enjoy the days you both share together from Gods Word and feel like when you pray it's especially for me. This post was especially meaningful to me as I know I need to spend less time online but when I find such jewels that speak to me like this post did it makes it hard. Indo want to spend more time in Gods Word and please pray I will be able to withstand other things that get in the way of that commitment. Thank you for sharing your lives with me. I live alone so i enjoy the camaraderie i get from you sharing your great ideas and blessings and joy in the Lord.
I turned on the video to listen while I am working through my kitchen, and you have no idea how much what your sister shared touched my heart today. I needed that reminder more than you can know. Thank you ladies!
Regarding onions in the frig.... I learned from Clean Food Dirty Girl that by storing your onions in the frig they won’t make you cry when cutting them. It really works. 😊
Love the kitchen tips, but especially blessed by Diana’s prayer!
I chop up onion, that has been in the bin too long, (also peppers and celery) and put it in the freezer then, use that onion in soups and casseroles. The flavor is just as good and it prevents waste. If it is stored in plastic zip bags it can be laid flat while freezing to make it easier to break into portions, if necessary. Thanks for the encouraging words.
You gals are so sweet. I really appreciate your willingness to share not only the practical household tips with those of us that need it, but you also share with us your spiritual "aha" moments so that we can be lifted also.
My dad always says to my mom when putting vegetables away from the store, do you want me to throw this now or wait a few weeks until its bad.😁
So funny!! But it’s true!!
😁😁
Haha. That’s so funny.
You’re dad is a funny guy!! I say that to my husband about his leftovers. He tells me to put them in the refrigerator and I ask “shall I just toss now so I don’t have to do it in 4 days?” Lol. I think it just makes him feel better that he doesn’t have to see it go in the trash lol
😄
What a nice surprise, to learn some new ideas about organizing the fridge, and then get a wonderful message from The Word. Thank you!
What a wonderful blessing you two have been to me and my family. I cannot thank you enough for what you do. So far, I have removed about 25 large boxes of "stuff" from our home. What a wonderful feeling!! I feel the weigh of that stuff has lifted off of me. I am able to keep my dishes done...most days ;-) which is an amazing accomplishment for me. I am on top of the laundry like never before. I am going room-to-room and decluttering what we absolutely do not need any more. There's even been a new sense of calmness in our home that I have so been looking for for a very long time. I have a ways to go still but there is such a peace that following your example has brought me that I had to share it with you now. And thank you for sharing God's Word with us. It has been a much needed source of comfort to me.
Thank You! :-)
I just discovered you on RUclips. Thank you so much for your help. I’m 68 years young and I’m on a constant journey to minimalize. Being raised by parents who lived through the Depression, I was trained to hold on to things. Now I’m trying to change that mindset. I recently bought an instapot because everyone was raving about it. When I took it out of the box, I said to myself, “Do I really need another appliance at this stage of the game? I’ve managed to raise a family all these years without it.” I returned it the next day.
I just found this out...Don’t put onions and potato’s together...it makes the potatoes sprout. And if you put an apple in with your potatoes it keeps them from sprouting!
Potatoes also do great in brown paper bags in the pantry. They like dark.
I didn't know about the apple in with the potatoes. I did know about the troubles with potatoes and onions, they also have an awful smell when together..
I love your minimalism tips and your spiritual tips. So encouraging. "Where we look we will go" is supported by the verse Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Our hearts follow what we deem as important. Thank you so much Dawn and Dianna for sharing your ideas and making "helping others " one of your treasures!
Amen! Someone has said “What we focus on develops.” This is what the Lord has been speaking to me about.
Late to the conversation but I really needed to hear that. Twice in my life I started and finished reading the Bible in a year. I had tried a couple times with just the list of what to read each day, but it wasn't until I got a special "Bible in a Year" version that is in the order that you read that I managed to do it. Listening to your testimony today I just realized how transformative those two years were for me in so many ways. Strangely I never attributed the transformation to the sitting with the Word daily. At the time I just wanted to be able to say I had read the entire Bible. Thank you.
I use lazy susans in my fridge to keep bottles and tall containers from getting pushed to the back.
How do you deal with the fact that a lazy susan is not an efficient use of space?
@@sandraspooner3810 It’s not inefficient for me. My fridge is more organized now.
@@sandraspooner3810 There are different sizes of lazy Susans also.
I’m going to try this
So do I - it is efficient use of space for me because nothing gets lost, and it’s easy to see.
Thank you for the message at the end ! I've been struggling thinking I've lost my "joy" over the past few years . I really needed to hear this. I recently left my job due to physical pain ,and am looking to spend time in the word daily. I need this . Thank you 💕
Your sister is a great addition; what a blessing!
One of the many things I love about watching you is the fact that we are so much alike! Your refrigerator organization is very similar to mine which is very affirming! But what is beautifully surprising is the fact that you also manage to TAKE ME TO CHURCH at the exact moment I always need it! So thankful for your Christian sisterhood Dawn 💖💖💖
Thank-you again ladies - I feel the Lord is providing me with peace and joy in many ways, but that includes through your ministry and through happy home keeping. God Bless you !
For under the produce. (onion and potatoes) I’ve got 2 words. Puppy pads. I use puppy pads instead of paper towels they have a backing on them so any gunk and sludge doesn’t soak through and stink up your fridge or pantry.
I’ve got two words for you: Mind. Blown. 😂 awesome tip-thank you!
Great idea. Putting a separate, removable bin inside the veggie bin seems like a good idea on the surface, but it would waste limited space. My fridge is small.
Never heard that before, totally genius!
Genius!
Puppy pads have chemicals in them. I would use a micro fiber cloth or old bath towel.
I just want to tell you guys that I just love you and Diana. I related to this video; especially the faith section where Diana reads and prays. Dawn, something you said hit me square in the face. The bit about the preacher who had an addiction and found strength to overpower that after reading the Bible every day spoke to me. I am addicted to food. I am a mood eater and food is a comfort to me. Needless to say I am morbidly obese because of this and have been having the hardest time with it. I was reminded of a time right after I gave my heart and life to Christ when I was reading my Bible a lot every day. Life was so wonderful then even with bad things happening all around me. Thank you so much for sharing that and reminding me what I should be focused on. God bless you both and your families. I love you guys!
I hope you're doing well.
Was so happy to hear the second part of this video. I went on to listen to some motivation while cleaning my kitchen and I got so much more in return
What am I be holding?
I enjoy watching Minimal Mom, Six miles to dinner, Jacolyns Orchids & Whipporwill Holler on RUclips.
Talk about win win having you ladies in my life!
I love to learn from you ladies!
Thank you Dawn & Diana💞
In the little drawer next to the fridge I keep pen, sticky notes, and a small calender. I label my leftovers with a date. Sometimes yesterday seems weeks ago and last Monday seems like yesterday. It reminds me what NEEDS to be eaten first.
My daughter gave me this tip: write the date they went in the frig ON the container with a dry erase marker. Washes right off.
@@debbiep7419 yes! We do this. Many brands now have a spot on the lid for exactly this purpose.
Yes We also do the dry erase pen trick. Really a game changer 😃
@@debbiep7419 that's what I do. It works like a charm.
I use a written label with masking tape with what the left over is and with date. Also label my containers with pre-cut veggies to make it easy to use or snack on.
Thank you so much for this video! I love your sister. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony of hope and peace that come from reading the scriptures routinely. I’m so inspired. And I love your channel!
I took this to heart and just spent 30 minutes listening to the bible. Thank you ❤
You beautiful ladies have helped me conquer my house little by little:) I’m working on my room lately. It’s been hard since losing my Dad before Christmas last year & other heavy trials in my life. You inspire me & you really motivate me to keep organized. My kids watch me & now organizing their own rooms:) Love ur spirit. Thanks for praying at the end of the video 🙏 God Bless u both.🥰
Oh, and Dawn. I met you and Darci when y’all came to Savannah, Ga. I sat next to you in Panera. Gray hair, black scrubs. You are even sweeter in person! Thanks so much for that trip to see us all. It was greatly appreciated!
I've done the hiding too. It might not be a great thing but it's nice to not feel alone or ashamed
These are great suggestions. I'm helping my parents organize their kitchen for their mobility issues, and they have a worse fridge now than when they had 3 teens at home. Mom said no wonder, you all ATE EVERYTHING! ❤️
Inventory, Inventory, Inventory!!! I never thought to consider that when it comes to your fridge and overfilling it. Thank you!
I’m loving your videos, as they are helping me out a ton. You’ve given me SO much good advice, and this video is no exception. I thought I would share a rule that I have for health reasons: I designate the bottom shelf for eggs, meat, and anything else that needs to be cooked before eating. This is a habit I picked up from the restaurant industry and keeps any meat juices or broken eggs etc from dripping on anything else. I usually keep cooked or ready-to-eat food on the top shelf, produce and things that need to be washed on the middle shelf, and meat and eggs on the bottom shelf. New food goes in the back and older food comes to the front or gets thrown away or composted. Hope that helps someone avoid food borne illness or having to throw anything away.
I absolutely LOVE what you are doing with your channel! I've watched so many of your videos these last few days. You not only encourage me in my cleaning, but also spiritually and I am so grateful for that! You all are amazing with this amount of outreach in so many areas 😍
You two are so inspirational: both practically and spiritually!
I could listen to you ladies all day. I am so glad I found your video. I was about to clean my refrigerator, which I was putting off, and you inspired me. I appreaciate your uplifting message, the scripture, and the prayer. Praise Jesus, Praise God. May God bless you both!
Thank you for your fun and encouraging videos. The quote you mentioned was so "to the point". I wrote it down and am going to hang it on my fridge. I need to spend more time in scripture and less time on Facebook!
Oh, Diana, thank you so much for this. The Lord used you to speak to this young mama today!!!!! Bless your heart. Sending you hugs❤️
Yes! I was just thinking I need to get my fridge under control! Perfect timing! Thank you for sharing your Faith. These are always my favorite videos. Love you guys!
Yes!! Every Christ-centered video is such a blessing!
As I start my journey to declutter and organize my home, thank you for the reminder that I need to declutter my schedule and organize it so that I have the space to spend time in the word every day and that is just as important. God Bless you for letting Him use you.
Thank you so much. This has spoken so much into my life today. My intentions are good but I find I spend too much time online and not enough in The Word. With God's help this will have to change. Thanks again.
Yessssss time with God and time also for yourself is so valuable
This morning my dad leaves a message cause i didn't get to the phone " comment about going to church in a nice way " called him back and said church is at 9am now on tv because covid
We have to set our priorities or the day will run us
Taking time for scriptures will fill your heart with joy gratefulness
I LOVE how you and your sister incorporate scripture in your videos. Thank you, ladies.
Hello again from Greece!! I was so looking forward to your video! Great ideas as always! My favourite...using containers in the fridge to manage items. Thank you to both! My Sunday is so much better when you are a part of it!
Thank you for your encouragement to stay in the Word even when you might not be feeling it's effects, it's still changing you from the inside out...bringing out the glory that lives on the inside of us! You posted this over a year ago but I thought you'd like to know that it is still helping people a year down the line. This is an issue that I'm struggling with right now and you helped encourage me at just the right time! You have a great channel btw!
“Those who look to Him are radiant and their faces will never be ashamed”
AMEN 🙏🏽✔️ 🦅 🇺🇸
Ohh, I LOVED this Soo much!! I've been a Christian most of my life but this video alone got me back into the Word this am. I usually don't comment but I just had to take time to thank you for sharing your faith! This is my new favorite minimalist/organization channel. May our Good Father richly bless you both!
You two are a delight and an inspiration. Thank you for being a witness to others in this way!
I enjoy your channel, but my absolute favorite episodes are the ones with Diana where she shares Truth and prays. Amen. Thank you so much for that!
I look so forward to these Sunday videos! Thank you both for doing them and bringing positive vibes and godly reminders to us each week! 🤍🙏🏻
Wow- I was just looking for fridge tips, but realized what I really needed was to hear the quote, encouragement, and prayer at the end. God bless you for sharing.
I replaced my fridge drawers with two huge Tupperware fridge smart containers. One for fruits and one for vegetables. It really helps to keep the produce longer!
Loved the encouragement on reading the Word and the prayer at the end was powerful. I had just bought clear plastic shoe boxes to put my breads/cheese/lunch meat in, plus a container for my lemons and limes for the drawers.
Appreciating your YTs! ❤️
Just in the nick of time: my family is working on eating down the freezer and frig! Your idea about new appliances is great and I have to add that the big time chefs usually recommend against buying 'single use' tools: everything in the kitchen MUST serve several purposes, otherwise they are a waste of space and money! Thanks for your messages, also.
I love all of your videos but my favorite are the ones that your sister joins you in. I love hearing the stories about how the Lord works in peoples lives and her prayers at the end. Thank you both for the motivation, information, and encouragement you give. God bless you both !!
Why haven't frig manufacturers thought about appropriate sized bins on top of each shelf instead of just expecting that people only keep did in the drawers they decide to put in. Or at least an optional bin package that works with the demensions of the frig you're buying!
Having 3 teens and younger ones who help is a whole new ball game! I can be organized ! And get unorganized within 2 days! Got any ideas that help with teens and tweens who cook and are putting things in the fridge ? Thanks, Love your encouragement!! Yes, I believe what you have shared about the Word!
I love these Sunday videos! Thank you for your prayers and shift in mindset! Bless you both!
Loved today's fridge tips. I too like having an almost empty fridge each week. 😉
Thank you too for today's conversation about reading scripture. I have been reading the Bible each day for years and it does truly make a difference. 💜🙏💜
Amen! What an encouraging word at the end. You both have that "glow", its easy to see Jesus in both of you!
Amen. I’ve been newly enjoying the Passion Translation lately. Faith in Jesus Christ ALONE: right on! Thank you for your words and prayers..
As to refrigerator drawers: I removed the 2 drawers and now have an extra shelf that is much more useful! Produce is stored in air circulating containers I bought at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Onions are in a wire basket from Dollar Tree that hangs on the wall, potatoes in a wicker basket on the counter on opposite side of kitchen. I do keep tomatoes 🍅 in the fridge, especially in the summer. In Texas, food doesn’t last long when left out in the summer (and our summer is from April to October!). I do put potatoes in fridge during the summer, but only cut onions go in fridge!
Diana, I really appreciate your devotional each Sunday!
Your videos about minimalism are helpful and I appreciate them, but every video with the specific truths of Christ Jesus are BEYOND INCREDIBLE. I get so excited everytime you guys start bringing up Bible passages and praying. Thank you so much for your boldness in God to bring Him up despite what others may think. The Love and Life He has for us all is so amazing and He is the ultimate helper beyond all else!! May He bless you both and may your viewers gleam His truths from you!
@@PhilosophyVisualised I'm happy to see how many of us agree! That makes me even more excited!!
This is special to hear that your sister reads the passion translation! My father, who passed away in 2021, loved that translation. So it instantly made me think of him. Thanks lol
Love you two and Sunday mornings with you. Thanks for all your time and effort you give to these videos. We really appreciate you. Stay safe. 🥰😘
I'm soooo glad I stayed until the end. I truly needed this today. Good bless you for that prayer you shared with me.💜💜💜💜💜
Wow, thank you so much Dawn and Diana. I came to this channel for minimalist tips, but I am so much more encouraged by your spiritual insight and devotions. Thank you for blessing my night, this word was exactly what I needed to hear today.
Came to learn about my fridge, left feeling like my spirit had been renewed. I’m struggling a lot today, and came to watch something light hearted on my lunch break..didn’t realize that you would be praying over me as well. 🙏🏻
The best tips my mom shared which make sense and she learned as a result of growung up during WWII - when food was scarce and precious is to do two things consistently to avoid food spoilage and waste. This has helped me be more deliberate about using and buying only what we need.
One...Plan one day a week for either left overs or to make a dish that will use all the food that won't last much ling. For example...soup or a stir fry or an oven roasted veggies etc.
Two....plan to do pantry meals only for a few days or a week..once every other month.
Thank you! I watched until the end and your prayer and your encouragement to read Scripture every day was just what I needed. 💜🙏💜
Thank you for encouraging us to be in God’s Word! What your pastor said is so true-daily time in the Word is healing. It’s our food. Diana has such a great way of articulating things. Well, actually you both do!!
I loved that your sister prayed for us. That was much needed. Thanks so much. God bless.
Thanks Diana and Dawn for blessing my life today. 🙏🏻❤️
Came here looking for kitchen inspiration, my heart was inspired as well. Thank you! 😊
Tip # 94 for saving your money; if your a senior ask the store if they have a seniors day to give you a discount on what your buying.
You sisters are a blessing and an inspiration.
Love watching you 2 together. Thank you for the spiritual boost and other great ideas
AMEN!!! I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT TODAY - I NEED to open my Bible and Read EVERY DAY!
Dawn our Leftover spot is in in the SAME SPOT as yours But now I want to go get some containers to keep my fridge more organized.
Omg! I was not expecting you ladies to break out scripture!! So glad i found u 💓
I learned so much about keeping my fridge more organized and then my spirit man was encouraged and lifted up! Thank you both!!
You both have “the glow” and praise God, by His grace, so do I.
Their joy in Christ is so evident!
I noticed the glow on them also! 😀
God is Invisible. You can’t see Him! We are Hid IN Christ!!
The things seen are temporal!! Things Not seen are Eternal! ( 2Cor 4:18). John 4:24- GOD IS A SPIRIT And we must worship Him in spirit and in truth!! They are Fake. The Flesh is not Godly. The flesh is as filthy rags. Sin and death! The Spirit is Life. We see By Faith. Let our light shine so men can see it. ( By Faith). There is One GOD. And He Is A Spirit. And He is Inside of Every believer! And it doesn’t matter if you read your Bible or not, or do things trying to impress Him, IF HE’s IN You, You Are SPENDING TIME WITH HIM! You don’t turn it on and off! He Loves Us. He want All to be Saved! But you must believe. In the ONE TRUE GOD! And He IS LIFE. And when you have His Spirit in You, You Have LIFE!
She still has estrogen lol.
Loved this word Diana. I think the opposite is also true. If we don’t spend time in the word it shows. You’ve inspired me to get in the word daily even if I don’t feel like it. Thanks ladies!
Brussels sprouts are great in air fryer. Cut in half, toss with a little oil and seasonings. That's it.
I love that u prayed it was so refreshing ! And beautiful. I have started reading my Bible and it is changing me piece by piece I also pray that I remember what I read and that I can use it daily !!!! Ty
Thank you for your encouragement today from God’s word! It just reminded me of time spent with him is never wasted! I love God and I love serving Him but when I neglect spending time with Him serving Him is not the same!
Blessings to you both for taking time to do this❤️
So good! I loved all the tips and ideas especially the tip about using an appliance for 8-10 days to master it. Great idea. But most of all I loved the encouragement and that you are sharing God's word and the prayer. Our world is truly cluttered with craziness right now and what you are doing is exactly what the world needs. I know God must be so very pleased! Many blessings to you!
