I am 62 and have put pressure on myself my whole adult life and it is not worth it. Take short cuts, hire help whatever you need for your mental health. You both are wonderful to listen to. Merry Christmas.🎄
Someone else's fresh energy is a great boost in such circumstances. Leaves you free for "the heavy lifting " G Ire
Just watched. I'm a 58 year old empty nester. Quit my job earlier this year to care for my mom, but she is now in a nursing facility. I've spent the past 5 1/2 months fairly non-stop decluttering my home. Lots of trash, lots of donations & lots still left. Since I have decluttered & made it easier for my husband, he has started keeping things more tidy. My house is decorated very simply, but beautiful this year. Thank you Cas. I could not have done it without you. You Rock!
In my 20's through my 40's, I felt my house needed to be as perfect as it could be, and I needed to be "super mom." During that time, I was also working a very stressful, demanding job as an RN in ICU.
I wore myself out, literally. I ended up sick with fibro and chronic fatigue and an autoimmune disease. Please don't worry about the small things. Looking back, I realized that the majority of things I worried about and worked toward in my home was not worth it. Focus on slowing down and just being in the moment with your kids. They grow up so fast. Your family needs you healthy and happy and making memories with them, not the house being perfect.
I remember guiding my son to the rank of Eagle in scouting. We had a list merit badges on the frig and other steps to climb that mountain. My mantra for him was, "How bad do you want it?". That was 20 years ago! I have nearly 40 years of stuff from my mother, my mother-in-law, and now my husband; all of these people have died. I need to take it one step at a time and ask, "How bad do I want a clean house?". I took a pile of assorted men's combs, a pack of shower gel bottles all to the local soup kitchen. They were as thrilled to get these things as I was to get rid of them. Remember, your house didn't get this way overnight and you can't expect to clean it overnight. Also, an hour of work on a mess, is an hour of work on a mess. If you could spend just one hour decluttering each day, that's 9 work weeks on your house! Good luck in the new year everyone.
💕🙋
I started with "only going to clean ONE shelf " in my dish cupboard. 😮
I was SO ENERGIZED when I finished that ONE SHELF, that I kept going to the next shelf and the NEXT shelf after that.
When i finished, I was tired, but OH SO HAPPY !!! That whole cupboard looked SO BEAUTIFUL 😍 and it STILL (6 MONTHS later) DOES !!
I kept opening it up every day just to look at how pretty and uncluttered it was.
I've kept it that way, going forward, too. Which helped me to move on around my kitchen, top, and bottom cupboards until every one of them are now easier to get things out and put things away. 😊
I moved on to my bathroom cabinets and got all 3 sections and 2 drawers finished. I wish I'd had known this way of taking care of things.
I sent my sister vids of Cas, Dawn and Dana.
My sister is now doing the same thing in her house.
Thank you ladies for sharing your struggles with us and setting us up for success 😊
Appreciate YOU very much today! 💕🙋
"I feel this in my SOUL!!!" Very true words, not everyone is upset about mess but it's a huge trigger for me because as Jamie said, it's another job I have to do. Thank you Cas and Jamie for a great talk!
Love this. Best thing I heard is not having a routine per day. Every Monday is different.
I LOVE JAMIE'S JOURNEY! HER RUclips CHANNEL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!! SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU TWO COLLAB ❤❤❤ I reccomend everybody check out her channel if you're into cleaning / home making content, she is SO down to earth, knowledgeable, & they have a wonderful family. I love seeing these two worlds collide ahhhhh thank you Cass!! ❤
Jamie is an amazing human helps everyone out great tips and showing us, people are grateful and need her as a community! ❤
Hurray, two of my fav. on this podcast. I was raised by parents who lived through the Great Depression, and my mom kept EVERYTHING! My dad also farmed and he kept random parts and screws and old tools because he might use them (and usually, he did use them). Clutter drives me crazy and I get such a high from decluttering.
I am so happy you interviewed Jamie! Both you ladies are awesome! What I love about Jamie is you can always rely on her for great CLEANING videos! She is not one who veers off and does alot of decluttering, or decorating…her main thing is cleaning and I love that!!!
I love Jamie’s channel. She always give a full disclosure that you don’t need all the cleaning gadgets to have a clean home.
Where comparisons start…happiness ends!
We are who we are, our life changes for many reasons. We work with each our circumstances.
Your RUclips channels are very encouraging to help us keep moving forward and we appreciate that.
But I also appreciate your reality!!!
I love both of you! I've followed Jamie's site since she was carrying the twins. I bought a Tineco, because of her recommendation. Her best thing is watching her vacuum and seeing those impressive vacuum marks! Cass, you help us in so many ways. It's kind of nice to realize you have down days and don't want to do anything. We can all relate. Both of you, have a Merry Christmas!
I opted out of C’mas this year. I’m exhausted from a major move and dealing with my late husband’s belongings. At 66 I’ve had to face the fact that I’m not going to make jewelry or take up painting; I’m in a new phase of life so getting rid of all this extra stuff was so freeing. So I mailed cards with cash to the granddaughters, made a donation to a local charity and declared C’mas done. My extended family doesn’t understand, but I just can’t face more people and all the family dynamics right now. No apologies! I’ll probably be back on track next year, but C’mas will be pared back from now on. I’m actually looking forward to having a few quiet days to go through the stacks of boxes without interruption. Thanks for your videos! Have a merry Christmas!
Love this, enjoy your quiet Christmas, and love that you put C-mas instead of X-mas 😊🎄❤️
Proud of You 🙋
Just knowing that's it's not just me makes me feel so much better!! Thank you both!
I think my mom and grandmas eras knew what they were doing: smaller homes and not buying stuff! My grandmother washed her windows every week! Yes, but she had 10 windows compared to my 42!
Yes… average home was smaller and we had less possessions
CAs, you need to have a boot camp with your husband and kids and train them on dish washing, laundry, folding, vacuuming, hanging up clothes, just like army boot camp. Get tough.
Get them into ‘teams’ .. set them to clean up the kitchen in days of the week. Mon - wed, thurs-sat.. sun is you.
@@x-messlove the TEAM approach. Add rewards...
I’m gonna be honest here, I dont do “deep cleaning”. I think it’s a waste of my time. . I clean regularly and pick areas that I clean a little better if it needs. My house is ALWAYS tidy though, so I guess cleaning is a lot easier too.
I’ve nagged enough that everyone now picks up after themselves, without me saying anything. I guess it has become part of their daily routines, which I think is ideal, especially for when they have their own home.
Having said all that, this has only been since August 2020. So it hasn’t always been easy.❤
I have limited mobility, 67, widow, and raising my 3 grandsons, and putting pressure on myself is not worth it because then you fail. That in itself will make you angry, less motivated, etc. This was an awesome podcast❤❤
I’d recommend changing your phrasing when it comes to the kids taking responsibility around the house. It’s not your responsibility as Mom to manage the house and keep it clean. It’s everyone’s job in the house. I have rephrased from “help mom clean” to “let’s clean together”. By saying “help mom” you’re implying that it’s your job and they’re doing you a favor.
I tell them "I'll help you clean up your toys and crafts"😂😂😂
The biggest mistake parents in the Western world make is not training real life from infancy...
Big kids birthday planner here 😂 and I do find a ton of joy in making elaborate cakes and making everything fun for daughter and the kiddos. It's the creativity and newness of every different theme. I just find it so fun, stressful but fun.
Great podcast! Nice to meet Jamie and hear her stories.
While we know this isn't a sprint, and training for the marathon takes time, grit, perseverance and hard work - cleaning, tidying and decluttering is a muscle we need to flex as often as we can - with time and grace to get it done on our own terms.. Thank you ladies; Cass, I always enjoy your podcasts and encouraging words of wisdom. Happy New Year to everyone!! See yall in 2024 ❤
Love Jamie so much, her organises way of things gets me excited to be organised. Definitely a massive fan too x
Clean well first then routinely use a squeegee after your shower on the glass. I give the tile a swipe down as well. Our shower is three years old and looks almost new:)
I LOVE WATCHING J.J. I NEVER MISS HER VIDEOS ...FROM LORI
AMEN! "We are the leaders and when we stumble... there's no one there to catch us". This is EXACTLY how I feel.
I resonate deeply with this!
Hi, I just wanted to say this week I have removed approx one hundred things from my home which for a long time I have hesitated to part with. It just felt like the right time & I felt so good having let them go. Whilst listening to this video I decided to just check a shelf in my food cupboard. Partly cos my eating habits have changed. Within half an hour I have removed over half the items in there - most were out of date & I didn’t realise. It has certainly made me think & I can now repurpose this space. Thank you so much for the motivation. 🖼️⭐️💫🍐💕
Talk to ppl who are just starting out. I still have measuring cups from my grandmother's kitchen
Rain-X for glass shower doors!
Amen! Also, Dawn and a brush does wonders for the rest of it.. less elbow grease 😅
ma gic eraser for surfaces.... 😅
Thank you for this. I'm in that same mode. My house is totally decluttered, so now I love to clean it. I do it on an as-needed thing. I'd like to have a strict schedule, bc I'm a cricket, but it's ok not to have a schedule.
oh my gosh. This is a video I needed and didn't know. I love Jamie!! She is my main motivator. Between you , her and Dawn I have learned how to keep house and so much more. Ya'll have changed my life. Thank you so much for all the advice ! I enjoyed this video so much. I hope ya'll have a great week. ❤❤❤❤
Sometimes we Moms just have to suck it up, get busy, and get in and clean or tidy with A GOOD attitude. We can't change others, just ourselves.
Also, train our children from a young age to help. As they age, if they want to eat and be a part of the family, they help. Get the team spirit going. Instead of bagging our husbands, let's do what we can to improve our homes. Yes, we ALL get fed up at times, but keep the long term goal in mind. A happy family is better than a nagging wife/mother.
Appreciate the tips.
It does take a long time to get into a new routine. Be kind to ourselves and our families. ❤
Great video! Now...here's some (even though it's unsolicited!) advice. One word - consequences. Have a family meeting: 1. short explanation of how bad seeing ur new house trashed makes you feel 2. Set expectations for everyone, whether a general "don't leave an area without cleaning up ur crap" or specific chore chart + pick up after urself. Everyone loves fhe new house, so let's take pride in it & keep it nice! However, if they choose to go on being slobs there will be consequences. YOU & ur husband hold the magic purse strings! And girl, hit them where it hurts! Leave toothpaste all over the sink...1 fair warning, the next time - take back their phone (or game station, or whatever they love the most) for the rest of the day. That evening, if they cleaned up the mess, return the phone with the understanding that next time it'll be for 24 hours. Our oldest son was a charmer, but he had his dad's hot temper & my smart mouth (bad combo for a kid!) He HATED being sent to bed early. One day, he would not stop arguing & smarting off about something he didn't like. When I'd had enough, I said one more word about it & ur going to bed 15 minutes early. He griped about that - 8:45. Another gripe - 8:30. Informed me, "You can't do that!" - 8:15. That kid had to go to bed at 7:45!!! LOL Once was all it took! Ahhh...then, when he was 15 & started blowing off his chores, i reminded him that it wouldn't be long before he'd be wanting to learn to drive & guess who owed the keys...why, little 'ol me, of course! Never had another problem with him, that couldn't be corrected with a raised eyebrow & glance at the key rack! Moral of the story - consequences that sting tell kids u mean what u say. Insisting on a reasonably neat home teaches them to respect what you have & to take care of it. Life's going to be full of consequences. Believe it or not, they'll appreciate that you taught them that! (When they're grown! LOL 😅)
Hi Cass I love Jamie. Following her n you both of my favourite RUclipsrs❤️❤️❤️
This flex schedule is something I only recently clued into. For years I tried to create the perfect weekly schedule which hardly ever worked out. Some of us take longer to learn. Now I have what I call daily foundations I do every day. Then I go to my weekly list which is laundry, mopping, etc and choose what needs to be done. I also used to get side tracked by getting involved in what I now call cleaning projects, sometimes for hours then my daily and weekly tasks were backlogged. It seems so obvious now, duh, but even recently I caught myself before I got ensnared in a cleaning and organizing project again, but then I stopped and labeled it as such.
Then I did my daily foundations... It's all about priorities, and not getting sidetracked.
I don't know if I'm the only one? I don't know if this helps anyone. So I have a list : Daily Foundations, Weekly to dos, Projects... then I will avoid backlogs. I also focus on the "Pas" which I call my public areas. Then I have the hidden rooms.
The point is that I do my dailies then I prioritize the rest, and balance this with my energy level and what else is going on.
I no longer put pressure on myself like the speaker was saying. Yes doing too much like she said used to wipe me out the next day , and I didn't get ahead.
Thanks if you read this far.❤️
💓🙋
I love this collaboration!!! My 2 absolute FAVORITE RUclipsrs ❤
I love to see 2 RUclipsrs that I watch collaborate together
This is my favorite podcast EVER!! Can’t tell you how much I needed to hear this!!
First off, I love Jamie. She is my go to person when I need motivation. I love how you touched on comparing ourselves with social media posts. It’s very important to realize where we are in life. I lived in an apartment most of my adult life but almost 4 years ago we moved into a 2100 square foot house and while I love my house, I cannot clean the entire house in one day. I was getting down on myself for so long because I couldn’t clean my entire house all in a day. Not only do I have a bigger house but I cook a lot more because of my circumstances. Thank you both for talking about a subject that I think eats away at all of us . ❤
So powerful. The shame of messy can be such a prison. Sharing your story and your method gives people a roadmap out. I have been following you for 3 years now and while I was hosting people every night of Hanukkah I thought wow last year me was so uncomfortable having people over because of the state of things but this year me had a house they are almost proud of and an environment I feel I can feed people in. Thank you
Blessed Seder ❤🙏
Yayyy! Love you both and to see you together is so awesome!! Happy new year!
Omg my 2 favourites together ❤️ 👏 xxx
Wonderful podcast! Funny, my dishwasher and vacuum are on my list for deep cleaning tomorrow morning!!
For Me. That's me & my dog 😂
Thank you! This really helped me :) I put this on when I was planning to clean out my fridge. Usually I just wipe down all the shelves, but listening to this motivated me to do a deeper clean this time. So I took out all of the shelves and attachments and couldn’t believe how much more hidden dirt was in all of the cracks. I was able to clean the whole fridge by the time the video ended! Thank you
💓
Try to get the family in the habit of tidying a room when they leave it. The kids will take all your energy though. I can still hear my mom yelling to me to get my shoes from downstairs. Lol
I was always taught to deep clean but my mom had no idea to organize. I clean all those nasty things all the time SO it’s taken me almost 3-4 years to get systems and routines down!!! Plus figured out I’m AUADHD ish…helped sooooo much.
Thank you both for your ideas!! As the person before my comment said, I am 74 and my daughter hired her cleaning lady and crew for me in Sept. I am decluttering regularly and it is Sat Dec 23rd ( My Grandma's birthday!!...she has been gone since Oct 1963 and I know my mom who was born in 1911 said they did not put up a(live) tree until the 23rd!- my house is cleaner; I have 3 more rooms am decluttering now and I want to get the art studio decluttered and functional so I can paint watercolors. I love all the suggestions and use something from each of you daily. Merry Christmas! Enjoy your new to you homes and family traditions!!! Best wishes from Wyoming- we moved from our little rental into our bigger home we bought in 1986 and had rented it- the bigger one-out when we lived in Idaho for 17 yrs to work)...Interesting time to move isn't it?? 5 yrs ago between Thanksgiving and Xmas!!Merry Christmas!!
Cas I thought I was a ladybug but I’m a bee, and finding that out has been a crazy change for me. Everything is functioning now. I have two toddlers and my house is tidy. WHAT?!
You asked for ideas about new videos but I really think you should revisit the clutterbug types in a series called “maybe you’re not a ladybug”, and compare and contrast. Because I didn’t want to see my mess, I shoved everything behind doors or in a drawer and it was all really macro and hidden. But the systems that work in my house are all visual and detailed. And so I started implementing visual/detailed in all my messy spaces and literally everything works better that way.
I'm having a hard time deciding what bug I am, too, because I need everything to be visual- behind a door.
Luv IT! 😅
Cassie the more I listen to you speak I think we are the same person lol every single thing you say about your habits your family, what you prioritize and what you don't, it's literally me to a T. I get burst of energy at 10 pm and tear through my house too. I don't deep clean either lol
🌸🌺🌸you girls, I feel like I’m doing thrash bag therapy every day, I try doing the 21 things a day, yes my piles are getting smaller while maintaining the rooms, I now walked through the house talking to myself saying that looks good 😂😂😂
😊 nice!!!🙋
Omg stop it my 2 favorite RUclipsrs 😭😭😭❤️❤️ what a Christmas gift
Yes!!!2 of my favourite RUclipsrs together!! Thank you!
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Jamie is such a cool chic. Loved her tips. And Merry Christmas to you both (and everyone else).
Tineco combined vacuum mop is a GAME CHANGER. No more sweeping, vacuuming before mopping - and the Tineco cleans the roller as it goes and then will alert you went it needs to be put on charging base for a deeper cleaning.
🌸🌺🌸I’m 72 Y/O, married almost 53 years April 2024, my hubby & 2 daughters which are 8 years apart have never been on same page of me, they do not clean like me but since we all worked outside the home we each had chores, looking back it worked, I might not be happy but I’m grateful for how we made it, however when I started Nursing & working as a nurse something happened bc I was always stressed & fatigued, God carried me through, now I’m older, sometimes depressed with fatigue but I’m working on myself, love listening & decluttering & cleaning along with your podcast & Ytube, my husband has preached to us about cleaning & taking care of our tools🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕we clean it during our shower about every 2 weeks or monthly, we have to stay on top of the commode bc being diabetic which drives me nuts
I love Jamies channel ❤
One thing I've learned is that things never take as long as you think it will ☺☺
A house move is absolutely huge and has a huge impact ftom the smallest to the largest detail of every aspect of life.. Take a good vitamin tablet every day (also B complex). G Ire
Watching this is a reminder for me. Cas our kids are the same ages! I have also a 17 yo, 15yo and 11 yo at home. And I FEEL them leaving messes and being so not helpful at times and I have to steer thee ship solo. Working on my PhD for 5 years with 50+ hour weeks and no spoons left to speak of... Appreciate your men ladies! I know you do, but I have new perspective raising kids both with and without a husband. Been a single mama for a few years now and for anyone complaining about their hubs there are days I would pay $ to have my life partner/another adult there to fold laundry imperfectly or help some things but not others... just sayin'! xo
Merry Christmas Clutter Bug. To you and your family. Love your videos they helped me so much. Thank you for all that you do
Shower hack. Ebey sabbath so Friday prep day clean the nasty things first THEN the shower and shower after!!!! We use power tools for our shower…1/2 the time !!! Haha
I have been watching you both for years! You always motivate me to do a little more and my house is manageable because of it!❤
I just cleaned out the cat water fountains. I am sweeping as I listen.
Loved this one ❤... one day when I grow up I will be like you both 😂... I am 50 btw
Two favs. Thank you guys, Merry Christmas and happy new year!!!!!!
The next time you clean your shower Put a coat of rain X. on it. It makes the water run down and you get a lot less residue on the glass. Either that or car wax Wax the tiles in my shower Every couple months and it makes a humonges difference
I so appreciate the honest discussion. I don't have children, but I do have my n own challenges and I'm still climbing out of chaos for about 2ish years. I'm to the point where my main public area are manageable m even if they are not fully de- cluttered yet,. I'd say my kitchen is my most put together room now, and I love it' but the overwhelm is real and can drain me off I don't keep it in check. Cas, you said you struggle with the cleaning and tidying, but not as much the de- cluttering and organising. I'm actually about the opposite. I just don't have it in me to de-clutter or organise in huge chunks of time. If I have to choose between cleaning/tidying vs de-cluttering /organisi g, I'll clean and tidy, but that's why I searched for organising virus, which lead to you, Cas. You face me s some simple tips on how to organize according to my brain, and that creates the spark in me to keep moving forward! I THANK YOU, AND SO DID MY JITCHEN 😊❤
Ohmygoodness...I just noticed all the typos 🤣
My oldest and my only boy is age 11 also Cass!!!!:) He has 2 younger sisters.
2 of my favourite people to watch! Love this ❤ I also just moved into a new house with my family and watching you both helps me get motivated to declutter and clean/ organize!
As for you clutterbug I also watch you to learn better ways of doing things thank you great channel
We love sweetie! Kapich?! 😘😘
Merry Christmas to Jamie.
'normalize decluttering' omg Cas thank you! i think this is what i need to teach my kids (5 and 8) instead of asking them to tidy and clean for now. for me i struggle most with the 'i need to teach my kids and husband to tidy up after themselves' vs 'i dont want my kids to know me as the nag mom'. i have been trying to teach tidying and all i get is resistance. it's mentally and emotionally stressful but i know i have to cos this'll be harder later as they become teens.
I once heard a tip to tell the kids their stuff is their responsibility. If you need to clean up after them, those items become yours and they need to "buy it back". Regarding things like putting dishes in the sink, cleaning a spill...I start that super young. My 2 year old can clean his spills but if he doesn't want to, I do it with him so he still does it. He now often asks me for a towel himself when he makes a mess
@@beans4853 thank you so much for these great tips! my 8yo is easier than his younger bro 5. i'll try w them. any tip for hubby training coz he's the toughest out of the 3 to train. (i wish im kidding) we smell like burnt bbq right now from a spill he made in the oven at thanksgiving. i only found out about it while im baking the salmon today.
@@pancakey636 The younger the easier...in my experience. Cuz your building it into their brain earlier. But sometimes just old enough can also be easier. The husband is a different ball game. The relationship is different and sometimes its not worth it to ruin it over a silly thing. Your children rely on you to be raised properly, your hubby is all raised already....
Love you Cas!
Yes! Tackle the most annoying spot.. I have a day segregated for ‘that’ project… the rest of the stuff gets done during the week.. I don’t call it cleaning… just maintenance
I'll save you precious time. Start where you love to clean. Top down, vacuum. Dust. Surface sanitize. Add cleanser to sinks tubs & toilet(s) mop. Steam 🙋
40 shampoo bottles! 😂😂
When we barely have enough time to take our own shower, deep cleaning our tools is off the chain out of the question right now
❤
I'm going to stop before I finish and that I think Avery was preschool or close I have watched Jamie for those of you starting to watch she has come an extremely long way she used to try to do things perfect now
it's ok is her words
family then utube
🙂🙂🙂
When you use a cordless stick vacuum , what brand is it. Please describe. I want to buy one.
What brand of cordless stick vacuum do you use?
My dishwasher has a gilte rdd?!? Where is it?
Hi there sweetie pie hope you are well great video Merry Christmas to you and your family love from Eugenie your friend xxx 🎁🎄🏡💓☄
Who has time to deep clean? Omg!
IVF: how sad
The saddest thing about this pod cast is the comment My husband helps. Seriously. He helps? It is his house. His home. They are his children and his stuff and his mess. He shouldn’t be helping he should be doing. It is not your job to make sure everything gets done. It is his job and his responsibility too.
Ladies, prioritize your husband too, or someone else will.
🤭
It’s a cleaning routine podcast, so I guess that’s what they are focusing on here. I’m not familiar with Jamie but Cas always prioritizes her family, including her hubby😉
@@katsspace4688Jamie does too!🙋
All i see is 2 people who need to spend money on a paychiatrist. They have nothing to do in their life -> GET A REAL JOB, GET A PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE
What exactly is a "pay-chiatrist"????
Tell me you know nothing about family life without telling me you know nothing about it. 😂
