Jamie, I love your honesty and rawness❤ Keep making the videos you love and everything will fall into place. I’m going to try and take your advice and put the laundry away immediately. Lol, you’ve seen my videos, and I don’t usually do that!😂 Hope you’re having a great weekend!

$12.28! Good pay! Yours is a very thoughtful list, and I appreciate it.

Glad you’re back and keeping it real for yourself.

Thanks for the video! I'll have to look for those long measuring spoons haha. The cobbler looks SO GOOD!!!

What made you go from using hamburger meat in your tacos to using ground chicken and sausage?

You are so motivating and I can really relate to your videos. Thank you, and hope you continue your channel!

I love the name of your channel 🎉😂 you did great girl 😅 your kitchen is pretty 🎉❤

Repurposed stuff is awesome 🎉😂u just reuse what u have, and get the job done ✅ no need to buy overpriced containers, and bins. It helps the planet 😁 and it feels great. You did a great job with every room !!🎉❤

Yes! I feel like I am simplifying more and more over the years. Our house is 575 sq ft and there's 3 of us so we are extremely aware of when things are getting out of control. After lots of experimenting, our diet is super simple - mostly meat. We try not to buy anything we can't reuse (we even applied that rule to our wedding). Our toddler has a lot of stuff but we buy/acquire almost everything secondhand. I just don't bother with electronic gadgets and I'm trying to get as much plastic out of the house as possible. I love a great list and I got some good ideas from yours!

I've gotten kind of obsessed with these videos! Just a note that I hope doesn't sound too crazy... You don't want *any* of that oil! Watch a Dr Chris Knobbe video. I quit vegetable (seed) oils and lost migraines, headaches, back pain, sunburn, IBS like issues - and it's not just me! These oils are horribly oxidized even before you cook with them. The oxidized polyunsaturated fats in the oils get into your mitochondria and messes things up big time. Eat what you want - anything but vegetable oils - they are the epitome of ultra processed "food". Plus the alternatives are so much more tasty anyway 😅 (oils made from fruits are fine - coconut, avocado, olive...personally I prefer animal fats like butter, tallow, and bacon grease) Save space! Save your health! Win win!

Just what I was lookin' for! Thank you!!

I like this list! I also stopped giving email address to get a discount. I found most of the time, there's a discount that is more and I cant use both. Ugh.

Wow, you really got rid of a lot of clothes! I have an entire extra room that I keep recluttering. I don't know how, but it fills up. You are doing great :)

I have one of those onion choppers from pampered chef and love it and use it all the time.

I think the camera looks great! Very crisp…love it

You did awesome. I have very few clothes. Our walk-in closet is all my husbands. A friend has given him so many T-shirts. Plus, his workplace gives him shirts with the company name on them. 85% he don't wear. I have given my brother and brother n law shirts to wear outside and do yard work. Our other 3 closets are storage. Holiday items, his model tank kits and comic books. And just odds and ends in the other. Really enjoyed your video.

Hey Jamie, this is much needed inspo for me. My closet needs declutterring so badly! Have a great week😊

Great list Jamie. There are so many things that we let steal our peace and joy. Thanks for the motivation😊

Most cluttered space in my home is the kitchen, i love fancy or funny ceramic mugs, plates or ceramic deco. Or any sort of kitchen organize tools like boxes, trays bins big or small. This year 2024 i promise to myself to reduce and donate it making my kitchen space free of clutter. Minimalist is new begining

As a Respiratory Therapist I felt I needed to tell you to dispose of the nebulizer mouthpiece and tubing. They need to be cleaned after a few uses and then thrown out. Too many germs and microorganisms can grow there.

Good work decluttering digital and physical clutter! Mantaining a simplistic life takes alot of mantinence and I personally get alot of setbacks over the years after I begun my jouney because of "nice to have" mentality xD

I think it’s a great list! I unsubscribed to some of my KZbin channels I followed that were just all about shopping and the latest fads and trends. I also did a lot of the same things you did also. Peace of mind is so important.

I have done a great number of these for years. My Facebook friends have never numbered more than 11 people and most of them are far away family. My close family can tell me things at get togethers if they want to. I also rarely post anything on my Facebook account. I used to coupon for a hobby and have backstock but since downsizing and moving to an apartment I keep my pantry to one shelving unit. This also meant giving up the warehouse stores. I still miss them from time to time but no room to store the excess.

The word minimalist has been overused the past few years. To downsize and declutter objects that don’t serve your interests anymore is just smart. I would rather have my peace than things.

I was just watching a video on Stanley cups.😂😂😂 I will not be paying $59 CAD for this cup.😩

Glad you are back! The 40 in 40 sounds like a good plan! Not a homesteader-but it’s a lot of work, for sure. Spaghetti is our go to-I make my own sauce, no jars. Beef or ground turkey. In summer, I make it from fresh tomatoes from the garden-in winter from frozen I made from fresh or canned. (Remove skins). Really simple and you can adjust ingredients-I use both green and black olives, tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian spices, onions and garlic-but you can adjust and it’s still delish!

Happy New Year! I wa so happy to see a new video up! i'm looking forward to your 40 in 40💛

Look at how much it costs to cook each meal too. Your crock pot might be a lot cheaper than your oven. Include human energy too. If you spend all day cooking you can’t sort out your home at the same time. Try Acer Homestead Becky is great for meal prep. You could also have a vegetarian night to save money. Welcome back

So glad to hear you are feeling better. Look forward to sharing your journey ❤

Budget meal idea and it reheats well on the stovetop too. Pound of ground turkey with garlic, cumin, onion and more garlic powder. Added a packet or 2 of madras lentil and then rice. We often use the microwavable brown rice from Trader Joes but can be Jasmine rice as well. Hope you enjoy it or anyone else who might try it.

So glad to hear you are on the mend. Being sick is no fun. I look forward to you and your husband's decluttering journey. As soon as my headaches deside to go away. Hubby and i are jumping into decluttering. So good to see you back!! Happy New Year!!

I am so excited to be back! Be sure and let me know if you have any budget recipes, packing tips, or anything else that may be on your mind.
