I put off sorting through bins of Christmas decor that was stored in the garage…for about 10 years. When I finally forced myself to do it last fall…..guess how long it took me….20 minutes….yes…20 minutes….got rid of 80%. I donated it all. Felt so good!
Older houses in California have laundry rooms in a detached shed or garage also. New build homes have indoor laundry but not the older ones, it’s not uncommon at all. People like your channel because, well besides your personality and content 😉, your home is relatable. I downsized a few years back and I’m comfortable living in a smaller, older home.
The space by the back door, closet, double closet doors as high as the dark wood trim, then a cabinet on top with double doors. Basically it would mirror your pantry, but with one long cabinet, and one upper cabinet.
Karrie - would you have enough space to build a shallow closet next to your frig where the mirror is? May you could build a small bench to put at your back door for shoes, bags, outside stuff, etc. and you could build your broom closet next to the frig??
I like to set a time too, especially if its a chore i’ve been putting off because I don’t really want to do it. 😂 I made a list for this week while watched you clean. Tomorrow is a new day. Love you girl 💞
Hey Karrie, Happy Saturday. I’m glad to hear that your kids are doing chores it’s important to learn at a young age. ❤ You inspire me and give me the motivation I need to clean my house and I’m not much of a cleaning person so that’s a huge accomplishment. ❤I’m so glad that you invested in a new water system and that you have seen huge improvements in the water. This is a funny story but when you were talking to your Alexa, mine picked up on it too. 😂
Katie, you have such great ideas - the 30 min timer and sharing the workload with the kids - all great ideas. You don't seem yourself, so I hope you are well and feeling okay. I'm in Illinois and it's hot as Hades here and that really takes a lot out of you. Thanks you for sharing your cleaning tips. I agree wholeheartedly though, in the great scheme of things, don't beat yourself if you can't get it all done. Keep trying and do the best you can.
The county water is no better the first thing we invested in when we moved here was a water filtration system. It’s a MUST!!! The hard water is craaazzyyyyy
Amazing video Monica. How about considering using a cordless vac to help you with cleaning? That might be convenient and versatile for house tidy and cleaning🥰
Fantastic clean and declutter motivation again 💪 When I've seen your kitchen trash can overflowing so much I was just hoping you'll film when you've emptied it as it's satisfying to see clutter and trash leaving the house mostly during declutter videos to feel the house fresh and clutterless again 🤗
Loved this video!! For the kids clothes, I put an over the door shoe organizer on the back of their room door and make outfits for the week on the weekends. Saves me so much time. For the shoes, you could try those shoes containers from ikea that hook on the wall. They’re about 6” in depth so they’re perfect for small spaces
If you have ever heard the biblical phrase, ‘raise a child in the way they should go”, for many this is about religion, but part of raising our children “in the way they should go” is more than that, it’s teaching about cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, and finances as soon as they are able to be taught (my kids were started as soon as they could take a toy out of the toy box and shown and directed to put the toy away before getting another toy but that was us), children are sponges and they do understand you and what you are teaching them from birth, so I am so glad to hear your children have chores. Home care is a daily, on going job, some days it consumes your day and others it’s just a wipe and put away, but all days it’s about having joy in what you have vs not have, about celebrating daily that we are fortunate/blessed to wake up in a bed, to have a roof over our heads, food on the table and clothes on our backs and having our children and spouses right there with us through all of it. Thank you Karrie for always being positive in your posts and that includes those down days where you work to positivity.
Karrie, you are always such an inspiration. Even to this 70 year old lady. Always fun watching you & your sweet family. Your kiddos are so good. Now I know there are times, but seriously, I know good kids when I see them. I’m a retired teacher. How you are training them up to be responsible is so important. After all, isn’t is just our goal to have well rounded, polite and productive children who become those type of adults. Enjoy your weekend. See ya again soon. ❤😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
yep my grandparents laundry room was like that too i think its a southern thing they lived in new orleans in the 50's or 60's when the houses were built hope the kids are having a great school year! great job!
Hey Karrie! I love this video so much! Thank you for all the motivation and the inspiration! I am going to try the timer idea. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great week!
Hey Karrie, I love seeing your videos all of the time! I actually had gotten some dishes washed and a load of laundry folded today. I just can't wait to see more videos every week!
Watching you struggle with the couch cushions gave me chills! 😂 I have to tilt mine on its side, unzipped the top cushion and shove my hand in to move the stuffing around. Lol.
I definitely need to declutter my whole house again...school is starting here soon so I think I'll start once I'm home alone all day again I always enjoy your videos Have a great weekend Karrie 😍
I jus subscribed and started watching u last nite I've watched every video on Ur cleanin channel and now I've started on Ur other channel and I jus keep watching. I luv the idea of the 30min timer per room and I'm actually gonna give it a go I actually do all my cleanin at nite then I wake up to a clean house we have 2 dogs so durin the day I feel my cleanin wud be wasted I do though have alot of decluttering that I am gonna need to approach lol keep bein u girl x
Hey Karrie love the motivation for the weekend. In the space you were talking about, maybe invest in a vintage or antique wardrobe cabinet that you can refinish. That would look amazing in that space. Just like you did with the antique dresser, you gave it a modern look.
I grew up in Southern California, and our washer and dryer were in our attached garage. I think it's more common in places where it doesn't get that cold.
This helped me get going. Have dragged today with back aching not horrible but achy. Finally put something on and took a Motrin and set the timer and cleared our stairs of things that needed put away. Probably not good with back aching but got it done and some time to get our beach travel bag out to see what I needed to pack for it. 30 mins up and I rested 15 and going back upstairs to gather trash and laundry which has to go to the basement lol
The 30 minute timer seems like a great idea. I tend to waste a lot of my day, so if I have a limit for a particular project, that would make me feel better about myself at the end of the day.
My kids always had chores when they were little I'd just have them pickup their toys before bed as they got older the jobs also got bigger they didn't get allowance but they did earn experiences they wanted to do once a month have a fabulous weekend sweet friend 😀 😊 ❤️
Great motivation Karrie. Yes most homes in Florida the laundry is outside even in a lot of New homes. When I was at my friend's home I was like where is the laundry room she laughed because she was from Pittsburgh Pa and new it was not like this. Now that I have been in Florida for years I see it often.
I like the entry way area. Not an eyesore. But they have those bench with hooks and storage units. For backpacks and shoes etc.. Also a pocket door might work if you need hidden space for extra stuff.
Karrie, I think you need a small round coffee table to maximize your space. Honestly, by the back door I might put a bottom cabinet in like for shoes, but keep the top half of the way it is because that’s a great area for decor.😊
You have great style! We have a new house but it’s very plain. I’m hopeless with tools and while my husband is a builder and great with tools he works long hours 😭 I hope we can slowly transform little areas to make it look more custom. I’m always so inspired to start when I see your house.
Home depot has turf sheds are on sale.. just a idea because we use to have the same shed you have then we upgraded to a turf shed with more space they are tall so you have a 2nd level storage. Big hugs from Texas ❤❤
Wow your water sounds like our deal. When they tested our water it wasn't on the chart. IT WAS SO BAD. It smelled bad. Our laundry wanted getting clean my hair was so nasty from washing with that bad water. Its expensive but ill never regret buying the system.
Carrie your children are getting so big your daughter is catching you in height. She look's like mommy. Hey I got a message that stated I won something from you. I didn't know you were giving anything away. Just thought you may want to know this. As always I enjoyed your vedio thank's for sharing 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹
Unfortunately their are scammers all over my platforms in the comments 😰😰 best thing to do is report them . I'm trying to keep up and do the same. Thanks for watching ❤️ ❤️
Glad to hear that your kids are doing chores, very important to start the kids off young, being responsible
I need to have a deep clean this week. I love having you in the background while I clean. Its like hanging with a friend 🥰
Getting rid of such emotional items is an amazing accomplishment! We're all so proud of you. Your progress is such an inspiration!
I love that your living room is so small and seems easy to clean up.

Karrie you give us ladies all ages lots of motivation!!!You are quite a gal!Have a great weekend!😁🌻🦉🍁🌽🎃
At night I had my girls lay out what they wanted to the wear for school the next day. So much quicker.
Yes, we did this as well. It eliminates that slow decision making when they are barely awake. 😊
I still do this as an adult. Makes mornings easier

Love the music selection, Karrie!
You are a good Mom. Your children are blessed to have you.
Mom always had us pick out our next day school outfit to save time. She also bought colors that would all go together.
Loved this video!!

I saw someone buy some cheap pillows, pull out the stuffing and stuff the back of her couch cushions to make them fuller again. Just a thought ❤😊
yep my grandparents laundry room was like that too i think its a southern thing they lived in new orleans in the 50's or 60's when the houses were built hope the kids are having a great school year! great job!
Thank you for all the encouragement and motivation!! I sure needed it!
Honey was like you woke me up to vacuum lol 😂
With the closet you want to build at the back door. Make the top a cabinet may e and a regular size closet on the bottom maybe.
Hey Karrie! I love this video so much! Thank you for all the motivation and the inspiration! I am going to try the timer idea. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great week!

Hey hey Karrie!❤ been missing these videos!!
Love the video! Great job!😊
Put command hooks above your cubical to hang the book bags. That would look cute 😍
Yes good idea! 😁😁
Thanks for sharing this is so motivating ❤

Good work, karrie. Your house is tidy up
Great Job ❤
Boy I wish I had your motivation!!!😊❤

For your kitchen closet idea, you could do either sliding doors or bi-fold doors. Either of those shouldn't interfere with your outside door.
I was thinking the same thing. Karrie could build them. 😊
@@pattycarosi9618 It is cute how we all know that she can build anything she puts her mind to. ; )
Girl we need another messy bun tutorial haha. It’s so cute!!! Also, the side eye from Honey was making me crack up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do better when I set a timer, I'm not hopping from room to room. Great motivation Karrie!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Great motivation
Hi Karrie,
Which chore chart do you use? I didn’t see it in description box.
LOVE BOTH YOUR CHANNELS!!
Home depot has turf sheds are on sale.. just a idea because we use to have the same shed you have then we upgraded to a turf shed with more space they are tall so you have a 2nd level storage. Big hugs from Texas ❤❤
I thought it very interesting about laundry room never knew that ty
Enjoyed
Good afternoon karrie your always inspiring loves ❤️ 😍
Thank you so much! Hope you have an awesome day 💗
Your welcome
When you set your Alexa timer, it set mine too 😂😂
Do two barn doors that sliding like your bedroom one
The vacuum you used does it come apart? What brand please ❤
Thanks for sharing
U do an awesome job.
Do you have a link for the chore chart?
Wow your water sounds like our deal. When they tested our water it wasn't on the chart. IT WAS SO BAD. It smelled bad. Our laundry wanted getting clean my hair was so nasty from washing with that bad water. Its expensive but ill never regret buying the system.
@karrielynn - Buy all white socks for the girls and all black socks for the boys, same brand. Never have to mismatch again. 😊
I also say "please" when I ask our echo to do things lol
Habit 💗💗
Nice apartment! Hope ur next video is longer. 😊
This is Karrie's home.
@jarhead5974 yes it is
❤
Karri, put labels on the totes so the kids know what's in them, instead of the making a mess.
💖😀
Hi Karrie ❤
Hello 💗💗
🥰❤️✅
Maybe you could buy something to fit that space for storage instead of building something?
👋 Karrie, Just for safety and germ precautions. You should wear gloves when your cleaning the bathroom ( more specifically the 🚽 for example). 🧤 🧻 🧽
11:50 did you mean that the Culligan system is less than 100 bucks or 100 bucks per month?
Less than 100 a month!
🖐💯💛💚
What is her other main channel ???
Karrie Lynn
Get a blanket box for the kitchen then you chuck all shoes and junk in the box out of site out of mind
Where's the little dog, little?
She's laying on the couch I think during this video lol
Carrie your children are getting so big your daughter is catching you in height. She look's like mommy. Hey I got a message that stated I won something from you.

If you weren't drinking the awful water, why were you giving it to your dog? :(
