Kristen, first of all, you are beautiful! Your children are beautiful AND you’re a BRAND NEW MOM!! Please give yourself a break!! Do what you WANT to do, there will be time later for declutterring! Trust me, I’m 76 years old, my house is so quiet. All I have is a big orange cat staring at me! And I am in dire need of declutterring, reorganizing, downsizing, whatever you want to call it!! My husband of 59 years had so many plans, we live on an acreage in western Iowa (Carroll County). However, God had other plans for us! After suffering a stroke in January, many sleepless nights, many, many prayers, he is now in a VA nursing home in Des Moines and won’t be coming home! ( not this home anyway,). Didn’t see this coming, he has always been so strong, my rock and helper on this little mini-farm! But I at least I can visit my love, hold his hand, he talks a little while I share the “ News of the day”. And he tells me he loves me every time! I am so grateful for what I have, you will I understand when I say how the Lord walked along with me, and even though I would of liked things to turn out differently, we know we are so blessed!!!! Enjoy your beautiful family!! God bless you all!! (I love the fall also!!!!!)
I’m so sorry about your husband. I am 67 and my husband is precious to me. We both have concerns about losing the other, but thank God, we both love the Lord and we know that we have to trust His timing. I pray for comfort for you and the peace of God to fill your and your husband’s heart. I also pray for a friend for both of you, someone who will listen and pray for you. Blessings!❤️🩹♥️
Thank you for all your comments, they were very comforting! God doesn’t promise us even tomorrow, but He HAS promised us He will hold our hand and walk us through it, and HE did!!
Great job! But, as others have said, take it at your own pace. It takes time to recover after having a baby. You might consider a little basket for the supplements that you can pull out to access the ones you need. Right now you can only see the first row and have to pull them all out to access the ones in the back.
You are a new mom...stop and rest and savor the moments. Enjoy the days with your girls while they are young. Your home will always be there and oh by the way...that looks beautiful.
Your children are beautiful, my 2 girls are in their 30’s now and I still miss those early years. Nothing will ever be perfect but the love you give your girls will turn them into amazing women , as mine have. God bless you and your family.
Kristen, someone may have already suggested this, but for your smaller, deep (dark interior) kitchen cabinets, try using a clear plastic bin, minus the lid, to,store small items like vitamins, etc. You can pull the whole thing out and place it on your counter when you’re looking for something, then slide it right back up into the cabinet. This actually works well for big lower cabinets, too, where you may store pots and pans,etc. Buy a larger clear storage bin, loose the lid, and just pull it out…even just part of the way…to grab what you need. Because these bins are plastic, they slide in and out so easily. And, they’re easy to clean and they keep the interior floor of your cupboards crumb free.
Great work with speed cleaning around the house! As far as I’m concerned, you definitely DID NOT fail at the kitchen drawers and cabinets. That was a mighty good job for the limited amount of time you had. Plus I think you achieved what you set out to do, progress not perfection. I think you did great! You inspired me to do the same in my own home. I cleaned the fridge during one of my 10 minute time frames and will do the fridge door in another 5 minutes tomorrow. As always, thanks for sharing! God bless you and your family ❤
I give myself 15 mins when I have to clean or declutter and I’m usually done before my time is up‼️‼️ Don’t be to hard on yourself…it will get done…sooner or later 🥰
A big decluttering sessions is always so satisfying! Don't feel bad for some of those 'junk drawers/spaces' or basically just areas you haven't decluttered in a long time. We all have those! I think as well that once we finally tackle that space, most of the time it wasn't as hard or time consuming as we might have expected. Beautiful home and family btw
Thank you for this video. You are doing a great job. Take it easy and don't worry so much. I am always decluttering spaces in my home, and then more stuff comes in. I have my husband and daughter, so they have things as well, and I have to respect their personal things. I want a loving and peaceful home. I am praying and working hard to stop being worried about everything. You are blessed with a beautiful family.
Hi Kristen. Your girls are SO PRECIOUS!!!!!You look beautiful and you should enjoy the girls!Time goes by way too fast!!!!!Cherish every day with them!!!!! It is so different when they are grown up!!! I miss those days,OMG!!!!!I ask myself "Where did the time go"?God bless you and your beautiful family.😁❤🙏❤
you got a lot done Kristen and it was so helpful seeing you do that.. Your girls are so precious💝 I’m glad you have been spending time enjoying them. I’ll bet there is lots of laughing at your house❤ Beautiful music 🎶
Hey Kristen..you have inspired me to clean out my closets! I know both of mine are full and probably don't know what half of it is. Thank you for sharing.
I am 72, a widow, and I still have lots of junk drawers and clutter. I try really hard to keep ahead of it. Guess what , It is not ever going to be done as long as people live in a home. Stuff just keeps coming in. Be nice to yourself and do not let it drive you crazy. I am just now figuring out how much time I have wasted thinking I had to have my home and life organized when no one else is even going to see it. Enjoy this time with your family. Someday they will be gone and a organized house will not matter at all.
Hi Kristen I am so jealous of that crisp fall air. It’s still so hot here in Texas! 🥵 Take it easy on yourself, as an empty nester I will tell you those precious moments go by way too fast!
Omg I finally found someone like myself ❤❤❤ placing things from one space to the other, and the ADHD gets the best of us when we don't even know where to start - you did an amazing job having a new born there, well done 👏
Hi Love decluttering what is a nominal for me. But do not be hard on yourself. You had a little baby less than two months ago. You do what you need to do for you and your family . We will all still be here❤❤
Lily was so precious sleeping❤❤❤❤, I ran out of breaths watching you decluttered. I really love how real you are and the opening video with all the girls out in nature were priceless. You live in an amazing area, have a Blessed week with the girls before school starts.❤❤
Hello Kristen, I love fall too!!🍁🍂🌻🌾. I have five children I have raised by myself. My oldest three are adults and my younger two are teenagers. Please always make time for those beautiful nature walks, family game nights (I like Phase10 too), or anything you can do as a family! I watched this saying to myself she’s so much like me in so many ways. I’m glad I’m not the only one who piles mail in a basket on top the microwave. Could you put your taper candles with all the others? I’ve been on a huge declutter journey. I like the motivation from Dana K White at a slob comes clean. She’s like us with the ADHD brain and gives great tips! You look so cute with the bandanna in your hair! And don’t be hard on yourself. You’re doing great! You made it P.O.P. (Progress Over Perfection). Do more on another day when you have a minute. Thank you for sharing
Love these declutter vids! Also, you should frame that little magazine from your grandparents wedding day! It would be so cute in one of your little girls rooms!
Hi Kristen, you did great with your declutter process! You got a lot done! You gave me inspiration! Love your hangers. It makes things look organized. In fact everything is organized! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a "normal" busy Mom of 4 house to me. You are amazing, beautiful inside and out, and a wonderful wife and mother. Give yourself grace, the house will always be there, enjoy the beautiful season of life that you are so blessed to be in. I love your videos! ❤
Mama you look amazing after just having a baby! She's so precious, so sweet & chunky🥰 Mmm i love me a chunky baby😁 Girl I don't have ADHD, and still have trouble deciding what needs to be done first, second, third, etc. or needs my attention the most😄 Lol. And we ALL have those junk drawers, cluttered corners & drop areas! I promise you are NOT alone! Its so funny when you start cleaning little 'catch all' areas the things you end up finding right?!😄 I always find a ton of chargers or some type of cords to things, and loose batteries that i have no clue if they're any good🥴 Being a mom of 4 small ones.. you're doing amazing! My house would look like A hurricane went thru on the daily🌪😆 But right now those sweet girls are the priority, they're only this little for a very short time, all the clutter & junk drawers will still be there! I know things have be done, but just don't let it stress you out, and definitely never apologize for it! I say 'do what you can when you can'.. no matter when that is. But time is a the thief, something we can never get back so give as much as you can to your family. If you can only do A drawer a week then that's Ok too! My closet always ends up being my nightmare😳 When we packed to move & out things in storage, i did all my decluttering. My husband & i had 2 separate, & quite large, walk in closets.. both were disasters! He tackled his & i did mine. Its almost embarrassing the amount of clothes, shoes, jackets, purses, scarfs, etc. that i got rid of! Six of the huge lawn & garden bags🫣 I sent them to a woman's recovery home & I'm actually thankful i could do that. Besides the fact it needed to be done, it felt good to get rid of all those things i could either no longer wear or just didn't no longer wear.. it felt good knowing i was giving to those that actually needed things. Lol girl my husband has every color Bass Pro hat they have😄 Well you actually got a lot done so that's a good thing! Just don't be hard on yourself when you can't accomplish all that you want to, give yourself grace! Enjoyed watching & pray you have a blessed week🙏🏻😊
Hi Kristen I declutter in the fall too. I have been in a deep clean and declutter mood. I am no minimalist. The decor I have is because I picked those things out. I just need to do drawers and get rid of some more clothes. I got rid of five bags of clothes because I lost weight. I donated them. I love the two pairs of shoes you say you never get rid of, I love them, because they are dressy but not real high heels. I don’t declutter my husband’s stuff . I would have no clue. He decluttered his clothes and he got rid of half his clothes lol 😂. You are amazing Kristen . Just do what you feel like and the rest of the time hold Lily. No, enjoy all of your girls. You can do more later when Lily doesn’t need you quite as much. Much love to all of you. ❤❤❤❤ It is one hundred degrees here.
Kristen, you should stop being so hard on yourself and don't compare yourself to the world's expectations. Concern yourself only with the Lord and His kingdom, and you'll be set free from such worldly pressures. Stay blessed in JESUS. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Girl, thank you for being so real. I appreciate that about you. Love watching your videos. It lets me know that I am not alone. I have ADHD to as well, and I really get it. You did a great job.❤
~INSPIRING! Thank you, Kristen! The Bass Pro Hats & ‘mysterious items’ that we discover in various spaces throughout the house;… items that belong to our husbands… every time you found more, you had me laughing hard! And, the bandana? The fact that you put it on made me laugh again, &… it looked adorable on you! (What’s new?) ~Fun, this was! ~Gratitude!~
What a full and beautiful season of life this is for you right now! Yes, it's busy and messy and full of to-dos, but also so full of love and lots of hugs and treasures. Thank you for inspiring me to just take small chunks of time to do small tasks...it adds up and feels so good!. I always enjoy my space more when it's tidy, but of course there's always so much going on that we all just do the best we can and find our balance. You're doing an amazing job, Kristen, whether you get the list all checked off or not. BTW, I've seen other videos where you've worn your "medicine woman shawl." Do you remember where you found it? I love it! :)
It awesome with your decluttering. My husband and I have also been decluttering our small condo and our basement. I feel free❤ . Always enjoy any of your videos. The baby is adorable and your girls are gorgeous❤❤❤❤ most of your summer with your girls
When I watch your videos, you make this 67 year old woman smile, and I mean that in the most endearing way. Also, I loved the video, because it is so real ! One thing I noticed, which I thought was interesting, is that you use wooden hangers.....that looks nice, I use plastic, and all different colors😬🤔🙄
Hey Kristen! You look great!!! God is good🙌 I know the feeling of feeling like you can always do more* for the kiddos; I would say it in prayers with my son, "Lord please help me to be a better Mommy to this blessing you've shared with me" and he has interrupted me twice and said, "you're the perfect Mommy!" Immediately lost it😭 lol...so sweet! I'm sure you're doing just fine in their eyes and your efforts are noted by God and your husband as well and we see it too ( not that we matter 😅)!! Whatever you need God will supply.. even Mommy endurance!!! 💪 PS: those vitamins are God's medicine 😉🙌
Girl, it's still disgusting here in FL and will be until late October or November (seems to be later and later these past few years). But I've already decorated for fall and have apple cider essential oil going in my diffuser, LOL. Your family is so beautiful, and so are you! Have a great week. 🙂
Oh my goodness, this feels so good, even through my phone! 😂 We have been decluttering big time since our last child home (4th child of 5) got married in January. “Purge” is the word around our house!!! 🤣 You should add shelving and put your microwave in that little area off your kitchen (for more counter space) and make that the drop zone for things, so that it frees energy up in the kitchen even more. 🤷🏼♀️🥰
You are doing well. New baby! Other children, husband and home. I have found those little drawer baskets from Dollar Tree works well to keep everything organized and neat in the drawers. Those old cloth diapers make good dust clothes, window washing/dryer cloths, etc. I made a nat tree for my husband's hats. Sees them all.
Honey you are the best !! Pace yourself nothing is urgent it’ll always be there ! Love your channel! Honey get your swifter duster and run it over your fan mine got really dusty and I cleaned the front and back with my swifter and what a difference!! Don’t want you breathing that dust girl. lol❤ you’re doing a great job !!! Take it slow and easy. I’m trying to get my house organized also I just do a few things a day and it’s really getting done!!!
I loved the video. I have so many cubbies and literally piles of stuff I need to sort, clean and purge. May try the timer deal myself. Kristen, I wanted to tell you all the girls are so beautiful and so sweet. TFS
In Australia we have most of our billing online this removes a lot of paperwork lying around and much easier and tidier. I remember those horrible envelopes with bills hanging over my head but it’s so much easier now.
Great job! I always keep playing cards in the car in case you’re stuck somewhere and need to pass the time with kids! Also keep the duck boots they’re perfect for fall!
I’d love to see the putting away the basket of crap part. I currently have a pretty decluttered house but 3 HUGE laundry baskets of stuff that was “in the wrong room” sitting there rotting waiting to be put away haha
Kristen love all your videos. This actually motivated me to get a few things done myself while watching yours 😂. I don’t feel alone when watching your videos. Good for you in spending the time with your precious girls and not focusing too much on creating content. Go you!
Wooden hangers look terrific but velvet hangers take up much less space so you can fit more on the rod. I thought mine were a good investment. Go easy on yourself. No one ever gets everything done. The opening sequence in the park is going to be a beautiful summer memory!
Yes love these videos. I’ve been decluttering for the last month -6 weeks . It feels so good. Yes my husband has a lot of hats also. It drives me crazy and he doesn’t even wear half of them anymore .
Love your videos..I like you put time ..that’s a good idea..love the before and after ..thank you I always got a lot of tips from your videos ..take care don’t get too tired you are a busy Mom..God Bless you and your beautiful Family 🧡🍂🤍💛🤍🍂🤍🧡🤍💛🤍🧡🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋🏻♀️
Great video Kristen. I love the idea of setting a time limit per room and getting what you can done. So inspiring - I’m going to try it this week. I often get overwhelmed by what needs to be done but this breaks it down into more manageable chunks. 👏
Great job! You look super cute with that bandana. Maybe you can hang the extra hats at the top of the window with a suspension rod and boot hanger clips :).
Absolutely love this video! You did great, donated, trashed things and the places you touched looked great and now I’m motivated!! Decluttering is the best! Good job!!
New commenter here. I watched the last video too and thought that you need to give yourself a break. We all have drawers, cupboards and piles of stuff on the microwave like you. You've just had a baby and have a busy family life. You're doing ok, really. Following along for your hauls and home content, I'm not at all religious but enjoy your channel. You seem a very down to earth person (that's a compliment) and I really like your natural presenting style. Best wishes from 🇬🇧
subscribed. hope to see more declutter. this was a fun enjoyable video. ❤ love how you just took one hour to do whatever you could. that was a great idea!
You get more done in one day than I do. I went to the grocery with my husband. Then we ran through the drive thru for a taco. By the time we got the groceries in, the dogs out and my taco eaten, I was too tired to do anymore. That’s the story of my life. I need to clean my house. I got some rooms done last week. And will finish the rest. Then I want to clean out my cabinets that are in my dining room. I have things I would like to put in them, and I’m sure they are full of junk. When we moved here four years ago I just put whatever would fit in those cabinets. Now it’s time to declutter them. Then I have more I would like to do before we get company in October. That’s how long it takes me to get things accomplished. You have a baby. I’m a 65 year old woman with no energy. So don’t sweat the small stuff. It will still be there when your baby gets bigger.
Dear, precious, impressive Kristen - your internal voice is so unkind and ungracious to you. I know you would never speak to your girls the way you speak to yourself “well I failed that one”. Speaking from experience those hypercritical thoughts can really make completing tasks very anxiety producing. Step one, listen for those harsh internal comments. Then, when you are able, speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love. “Well done, this drawer looks and feels much better”. A therapist that practices CBT personally and can teach it professionally will really help lower your anxiety levels. You are a remarkable entrepreneur and woman. You deserve kindness from Kristen. Thank you for the helpful, enjoyable and beautiful content you create and share🧡🤎🧡

Kristen, first of all, you are beautiful! Your children are beautiful AND you’re a BRAND NEW MOM!! Please give yourself a break!! Do what you WANT to do, there will be time later for declutterring! Trust me, I’m 76 years old, my house is so quiet. All I have is a big orange cat staring at me! And I am in dire need of declutterring, reorganizing, downsizing, whatever you want to call it!! My husband of 59 years had so many plans, we live on an acreage in western Iowa (Carroll County). However, God had other plans for us!

I’m so sorry about your husband. I am 67 and my husband is precious to me. We both have concerns about losing the other, but thank God, we both love the Lord and we know that we have to trust His timing. I pray for comfort for you and the peace of God to fill your and your husband’s heart. I also pray for a friend for both of you, someone who will listen and pray for you. Blessings!❤️🩹♥️
I’m so glad he has you!
May God bless you for your faithfulness.
Thank you for all your comments, they were very comforting! God doesn’t promise us even tomorrow, but He HAS promised us He will hold our hand and walk us through it, and HE did!!
Great job! But, as others have said, take it at your own pace. It takes time to recover after having a baby. You might consider a little basket for the supplements that you can pull out to access the ones you need. Right now you can only see the first row and have to pull them all out to access the ones in the back.
You are a new mom...stop and rest and savor the moments. Enjoy the days with your girls while they are young. Your home will always be there and oh by the way...that looks beautiful.
Your children are beautiful, my 2 girls are in their 30’s now and I still miss those early years. Nothing will ever be perfect but the love you give your girls will turn them into amazing women , as mine have. God bless you and your family.
So true!
Enjoy your children and rest up.. plenty of time ahead to “ clean out” .
You are a great mom !
Kristen, someone may have already suggested this, but for your smaller, deep (dark interior) kitchen cabinets, try using a clear plastic bin, minus the lid, to,store small items like vitamins, etc. You can pull the whole thing out and place it on your counter when you’re looking for something, then slide it right back up into the cabinet. This actually works well for big lower cabinets, too, where you may store pots and pans,etc. Buy a larger clear storage bin, loose the lid, and just pull it out…even just part of the way…to grab what you need. Because these bins are plastic, they slide in and out so easily. And, they’re easy to clean and they keep the interior floor of your cupboards crumb free.
Good advice and to anyone putting in a new kitchen on the lower level opt for deep drawers, over cupboards. Then you won't even need the plastic bins.
Keep a black sharpie in that pen bin, and write D3, C, Zinc, etc. on the lids so y'all can just grab what you need fast. Great video!
Great work with speed cleaning around the house! As far as I’m concerned, you definitely DID NOT fail at the kitchen drawers and cabinets. That was a mighty good job for the limited amount of time you had. Plus I think you achieved what you set out to do, progress not perfection. I think you did great! You inspired me to do the same in my own home. I cleaned the fridge during one of my 10 minute time frames and will do the fridge door in another 5 minutes tomorrow.
As always, thanks for sharing! God bless you and your family ❤
Beautiful opening with your children outside! ❤️
Thank you 🤗
I think framing the old Evening Post magazine is a good idea!
You got your figure back! I am 75 and still waiting for mine to come back. My hubby is a pack rat too. Frame that magazine and hang it on the wall.
Your babies are all so sweet.Lilly is really growing. Have a blessed Sunday, and enjoy those babies.
I give myself 15 mins when I have to clean or declutter and I’m usually done before my time is up‼️‼️ Don’t be to hard on yourself…it will get done…sooner or later 🥰
Moma you are doing great! ❤️

You should frame that Saturday Evening Post! It would be so cute!
This is so motivating to me, I love that you broke it down into realistic times and share the struggle of priorities as a mom.
You made a great deal of progress… I love watching you/family.. Blessings!!
Thank you so much!
You can make these videos EVERY DAY! I love these before and after. (Even if it is a junk drawer)😂. Hugs🌸
Glad you like them!

Don’t apologize. We ALL have those “clutter spaces “!
You are inspiring us to work on them!! Thanks!!❤️
Yay! Thank you!
For sure, I was inspired to declutter a few drawers today. 😊
Currently,cleaning and organizing my garage, that is bursting at the seams.. such a big job..that has been put off for too long

I’m so glad you look so good, and you do have your priorities straight. Love and family first, then organize and keep house.
Love these declutter vids! Also, you should frame that little magazine from your grandparents wedding day! It would be so cute in one of your little girls rooms!

I love this kind of content because I declutter or clean with you!
Love your quick organization. The bottom window wall area in your closet looks like a great place for hooks or a hat hanger for Josh’s hat collection.
Great idea!!

Thank you! You too!
Hi Kristen I declutter in the fall too. I have been in a deep clean and declutter mood. I am no minimalist. The decor I have is because I picked those things out. I just need to do drawers and get rid of some more clothes. I got rid of five bags of clothes because I lost weight. I donated them. I love the two pairs of shoes you say you never get rid of, I love them, because they are dressy but not real high heels. I don’t declutter my husband’s stuff . I would have no clue. He decluttered his clothes and he got rid of half his clothes lol 😂. You are amazing Kristen . Just do what you feel like and the rest of the time hold Lily. No, enjoy all of your girls. You can do more later when Lily doesn’t need you quite as much. Much love to all of you. ❤❤❤❤ It is one hundred degrees here.
Kristen, you should stop being so hard on yourself and don't compare yourself to the world's expectations. Concern yourself only with the Lord and His kingdom, and you'll be set free from such worldly pressures. Stay blessed in JESUS. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Girl, thank you for being so real. I appreciate that about you. Love watching your videos. It lets me know that I am not alone. I have ADHD to as well, and I really get it. You did a great job.❤
Good job!! You are so amazing to get so much done with all you have on your plate!! Give yourself a big pat on the back!!
You seriously got me motivated to declutter. I am literally cleaning out my drawers & cabinets as I am watching this! Thank you 😊
I love to declutter at least once a year !!!!!! You feel so good when you do !!! Setting a timer was a smart idea !!!! You did a very good job!!!!!
You do what is best for you and your family
Just enjoy your family while you can
~INSPIRING! Thank you, Kristen! The Bass Pro Hats & ‘mysterious items’ that we discover in various spaces throughout the house;… items that belong to our husbands… every time you found more, you had me laughing hard! And, the bandana? The fact that you put it on made me laugh again, &… it looked adorable on you! (What’s new?) ~Fun, this was! ~Gratitude!~
What a full and beautiful season of life this is for you right now! Yes, it's busy and messy and full of to-dos, but also so full of love and lots of hugs and treasures. Thank you for inspiring me to just take small chunks of time to do small tasks...it adds up and feels so good!. I always enjoy my space more when it's tidy, but of course there's always so much going on that we all just do the best we can and find our balance. You're doing an amazing job, Kristen, whether you get the list all checked off or not. BTW, I've seen other videos where you've worn your "medicine woman shawl." Do you remember where you found it? I love it! :)
TJ Maxx!
It awesome with your decluttering. My husband and I have also been decluttering our small condo and our basement. I feel free❤ . Always enjoy any of your videos. The baby is adorable and your girls are gorgeous❤❤❤❤ most of your summer with your girls
One of my favorite videos. Peaceful and motivating at the same time!
So glad!
We all love you !! Slow down girl! Be kind to yourself and rest love! ❤️ ❤❤
You scribbling out the bathroom made me smile. 😊 Everything is looking great and so are you. ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Great job Kristen! “What is this? A plugger inner?” You are too funny!💕
Good for you ,kristen .We women are not super humans,and theres no failing.Great system
Such a precious time spent with your family! Loved it.
Yes it was!
That was so motivating! I cleaned right along with you. Thanks for helping me get it done.😊
I'm so glad!
Well done! I find myself decluttering at least one problem area everytime I’ve seen your videos. You’re such an inspiration. Thank you. ❤
I'm so glad!
When I watch your videos, you make this 67 year old woman smile, and I mean that in the most endearing way. Also, I loved the video, because it is so real ! One thing I noticed, which I thought was interesting, is that you use wooden hangers.....that looks nice, I use plastic, and all different colors😬🤔🙄
Hey Kristen! You look great!!! God is good🙌 I know the feeling of feeling like you can always do more* for the kiddos; I would say it in prayers with my son, "Lord please help me to be a better Mommy to this blessing you've shared with me" and he has interrupted me twice and said, "you're the perfect Mommy!" Immediately lost it😭 lol...so sweet! I'm sure you're doing just fine in their eyes and your efforts are noted by God and your husband as well and we see it too ( not that we matter 😅)!! Whatever you need God will supply.. even Mommy endurance!!! 💪
PS: those vitamins are God's medicine 😉🙌
How sweet!!
@@KristenHoffman it certainly was- God knew I could use the encouragement! 🙏
Girl, it's still disgusting here in FL and will be until late October or November (seems to be later and later these past few years). But I've already decorated for fall and have apple cider essential oil going in my diffuser, LOL. Your family is so beautiful, and so are you! Have a great week. 🙂
Oh my goodness, this feels so good, even through my phone! 😂 We have been decluttering big time since our last child home (4th child of 5) got married in January. “Purge” is the word around our house!!! 🤣 You should add shelving and put your microwave in that little area off your kitchen (for more counter space) and make that the drop zone for things, so that it frees energy up in the kitchen even more. 🤷🏼♀️🥰
There’s no power in the side porch, unfortunately!
You are doing well. New baby! Other children, husband and home. I have found those little drawer baskets from Dollar Tree works well to keep everything organized and neat in the drawers. Those old cloth diapers make good dust clothes, window washing/dryer cloths, etc. I made a nat tree for my husband's hats. Sees them all.
Great idea!!
You got a lot accomplished!
Honey you are the best !! Pace yourself nothing is urgent it’ll always be there ! Love your channel! Honey get your swifter duster and run it over your fan mine got really dusty and I cleaned the front and back with my swifter and what a difference!! Don’t want you breathing that dust girl. lol❤ you’re doing a great job !!! Take it slow and easy. I’m trying to get my house organized also I just do a few things a day and it’s really getting done!!!
I loved the video. I have so many cubbies and literally piles of stuff I need to sort, clean and purge. May try the timer deal myself. Kristen, I wanted to tell you all the girls are so beautiful and so sweet. TFS
Storing your vitamins in a box before stacking them in the cupboard would help with accessing them all. You’re doing amazing
Good morning Kristen, please don’t put stress on yourself. You just had a precious baby . Blessings to you and your family. 💞💕💞
In Australia we have most of our billing online this removes a lot of paperwork lying around and much easier and tidier. I remember those horrible envelopes with bills hanging over my head but it’s so much easier now.
We have drawers/corners in our home too. We’ve not been here 3 years yet! And yes…I procrastinate every. single. day with dealing with it
All your GIRLS 😂
are precious
YOUR WORK WILL ALWAYS BE THERE BUT KIDS GROWSO FAST.
Great job! I always keep playing cards in the car in case you’re stuck somewhere and need to pass the time with kids! Also keep the duck boots they’re perfect for fall!
I Roll over my unfinished list to the next day. Great job Kristen.
I’d love to see the putting away the basket of crap part. I currently have a pretty decluttered house but 3 HUGE laundry baskets of stuff that was “in the wrong room” sitting there rotting waiting to be put away haha
Girl, you are motivating me to clean my closet. Thanks for sharing ❤
You can do it!
Your home is so inspiring Kristen! Great job decluttering! Now I need to get my act together!😬
You can do it!
Kristen love all your videos. This actually motivated me to get a few things done myself while watching yours 😂. I don’t feel alone when watching your videos. Good for you in spending the time with your precious girls and not focusing too much on creating content. Go you!
You are looking so gorgeous just after having a baby wow! This video is definitely inspiring me to do some decluttering too ❤
You did an amazing job. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️
I love, love your new intro! Enjoy your time together ❤
I love the timer method! You rock!!!!❤
Good job! So hard to do with 4 kiddos❤
Wooden hangers look terrific but velvet hangers take up much less space so you can fit more on the rod. I thought mine were a good investment. Go easy on yourself. No one ever gets everything done. The opening sequence in the park is going to be a beautiful summer memory!
Awe the girls and the baby 💕💕
Yes love these videos. I’ve been decluttering for the last month -6 weeks . It feels so good. Yes my husband has a lot of hats also. It drives me crazy and he doesn’t even wear half of them anymore .
Love your videos..I like you put time ..that’s a good idea..love the before and after ..thank you I always got a lot of tips from your videos ..take care don’t get too tired you are a busy Mom..God Bless you and your beautiful Family 🧡🍂🤍💛🤍🍂🤍🧡🤍💛🤍🧡🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙋🏻♀️
Love your channel cause you are down to earth on living real life.
Hi Kristen. What a great idea to set a timer! Thank you for that! Perfect!
Glad it was helpful!
Im so blessed to have stumbled on to your page!! Blessing to you and your sweet family
Great video Kristen. I love the idea of setting a time limit per room and getting what you can done. So inspiring - I’m going to try it this week. I often get overwhelmed by what needs to be done but this breaks it down into more manageable chunks. 👏
You can do it!
Hoping it puts me in the mood!!!
Great work mama! Doesnt it feel good to get even a few drawers organized!
Yes it does!
Great job!
You look super cute with that bandana.
Maybe you can hang the extra hats at the top of the window with a suspension rod and boot hanger clips :).
Thanks for the tips!
Great job Kristen you are doing wonderful. Have an awesome week 💕
Thank you! You too!
Hi Kristen, I like videos of declutters, organization and clean, I like all your videos and your beautiful baby is adorable
Thank you so much!
Great job Mama!!! ❤️👍🏼🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Absolutely love this video! You did great, donated, trashed things and the places you touched looked great and now I’m motivated!! Decluttering is the best! Good job!!
You can do it!
New commenter here. I watched the last video too and thought that you need to give yourself a break. We all have drawers, cupboards and piles of stuff on the microwave like you. You've just had a baby and have a busy family life. You're doing ok, really.
Following along for your hauls and home content, I'm not at all religious but enjoy your channel. You seem a very down to earth person (that's a compliment) and I really like your natural presenting style.
Best wishes from 🇬🇧
subscribed. hope to see more declutter. this was a fun enjoyable video. ❤ love how you just took one hour to do whatever you could. that was a great idea!
You’ve motivated me to declutter some drop spots in our house. BTW you look beautiful and the bandanna was so pretty in your hair!
You get more done in one day than I do. I went to the grocery with my husband. Then we ran through the drive thru for a taco. By the time we got the groceries in, the dogs out and my taco eaten, I was too tired to do anymore. That’s the story of my life. I need to clean my house. I got some rooms done last week. And will finish the rest. Then I want to clean out my cabinets that are in my dining room. I have things I would like to put in them, and I’m sure they are full of junk. When we moved here four years ago I just put whatever would fit in those cabinets. Now it’s time to declutter them. Then I have more I would like to do before we get company in October. That’s how long it takes me to get things accomplished. You have a baby. I’m a 65 year old woman with no energy. So don’t sweat the small stuff. It will still be there when your baby gets bigger.
Dear, precious, impressive Kristen - your internal voice is so unkind and ungracious to you.
I know you would never speak to your girls the way you speak to yourself “well I failed that one”.
Speaking from experience those hypercritical thoughts can really make completing tasks very anxiety producing.
Step one, listen for those harsh internal comments.
Then, when you are able, speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love.
“Well done, this drawer looks and feels much better”.
A therapist that practices CBT personally and can teach it professionally will really help lower your anxiety levels.
You are a remarkable entrepreneur and woman.
You deserve kindness from Kristen.
Thank you for the helpful, enjoyable and beautiful content you create and share🧡🤎🧡
