💕💕💕I cleaned as I declutter & organize as I go, have been watched several of your videos today, I so PROUD of ME today, my kitchen looks amazing, still declutter , I’m on a roll, this 71 lady is taking my being back

Since the window in your bedroom is bothering you, you might consider getting a very long curtain rod with curtains and shears underneath to appear as though you have a much larger window. When the curtains are closed no one would know the difference. It would help fill up that empty wall space and make everything look more centered. Just a thought.

[@elainesproles]

Great idea!

[@shannarmel2229]

I was just going to say this! ☺️

[@lorenaburgess9097]

I was going to say same thing

[@rebeccabaron1348]

This is a very good idea and professional decorating tip. Take the rod to the ceiling and expand it on the wall on both sides far enough so that when the curtains are open the window itself is not blacked by a curtain letting in full light but gives the illusion that the window extends much wider. Their tip…. Don’t ever hang a curtain the same width or the same height as your window.

[@naomiooooo]

It helps me to not have more hangers than I need in the closet. It reminds me to get rid of something when I add… or choose something to fold. 😊

[@moniaduchesne5713]

I just love your first song it make’s me want to move 😊!!!

[@elizabethcollier7395]

I love cleaning and organizing but it has gotten more challenging with a 4 year and 18 month old. Especially now with my 18 month old not sleeping well at night. Up every hour. Any suggestions. I’m tired just doing the basic but I have lots of organizing and home projects that need tackling. Love your videos! I live in a maybe 1500 sq home in southern ca with My two littles and hubby who loves alllll his things. 😅 Any real life suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 💕

[@juliac.9186]

Has life become any easier since you posted this? Especially with the little one getting you up every hour at night?

[@laurab7379]

You have such talent for decluttering and reorganizing! I find so many ways to keep my spaces in better shape watching your videos. A note on the rinsing of dishes before you put them in the dishwasher I had the same issues, little bits left on the baking dishes. It seems to be an issue with things you put in the oven and get baked on so YES I do the same thing. It makes me crazy when I see food still stuck in a dish! LOL! Thanks for this video!

[@christinacurtis3020]

Thank you for being so real. Your videos are so relatable and you break things down in to manageable steps which helps me plan my projects.

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕we have 2 daughters, no boys, husband said we were going to teach them to fold their own clothes, it was game to them, they loved doing their own, they as teenagers washed their own clothes, it was amazing & very helpful since I worked outside the, we had systems & it worked for us, now our grandchildren does same

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕it is complicated to keep frig clean as you age, but keeping it clean is does make us feel fantastic, my hubby of 52 years spills & seems to never realize it, he very helpful with cleaning

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Catherine Elaine. Looks like you've got a busy day ahead of you. (as always) . That being said, don't forget to take some time for yourself today. 👍👍😊😊

[@cinchloe1117]

I loved this marathon video. ❤️ I always enjoy looking back at the organization you have done throughout your home. I get tons of ideas from you. TFS and have a great day!

[@SamiiOk]

I love your videos they help me with my headphones on to just clean and declutter I love it thank you 🤌🏻

[@kaydublin5164]

Congratulations on 90k.🎉

[@JenniSchaffer]

I always love the music ❤️

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕I wish my bedroom was declutter & neat looking, yay got the kitchen completed

[@kerrispahn3813]

Right on girlie, I ditto that what you had said! Woohoo! You got this!

[@mrsmanion31210]

I just decluttered my kitchen!!! Thanks for the motivation💙

[@shairmainejoycecole9299]

Hi catherine thanks for this motivating video 🥰🤩

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

I fold the clothes so I can see them all when I open the drawers. Then your kids won't be messing them up. They see everything and can pick an item they are looking for right away. 😊

[@tonietteh2015]

Sophia, you and I are similar in our courses of study. I got my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with minor in deviant psychology... I planned to go to FBI to work " in the basement" . However an in the line of duty injury in 1992 permanently sidelined that career plan My "career" started on the West Coast to yours beginning on the East Coast I too have that core set of books that were part of my schooling and I too have the Ressler and Douglas books and a few that you mentioned. I've been a subscriber for several years now, I feel like it would be very nice to sit and have tea with you and discuss many things Bless you, Sophia, and your family too 💜

[@kerrispahn3813]

He is so very adorableness! Great job girlie! You got this!

WOW! Great job !🤩Love such type of video😍Thanks for the motivation!

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕you have amazing house & system keeping your house hold in order

[@Nurse67]

Thanks for the great video. What and where is that shelf on the linen closet door. I need something like this

[@Kimba911911]

I love your videos! Also, as a loving aunt to my two nephews, I couldn’t leave without just a heads up … excellent job in putting the medications high up, out of the baby’s reach, and the band-aids where he knows where they are. But also, the open container of the Comet or Comet-like cleaner was placed right at the bottom of the door, even below the band-aids where he was to have access. Please, everyone, always put that type of cleaner/container wayyy out of the babies’ reach. So many babies are hurt with items that they “would never touch”.

[@CatherineElaine]

There’s a newer organization of that closet and the cleaning supplies are at the top 🙂

[@tonietteh2015]

Omgosh! You sure get a lot in that small closet! Your organization skills are elite level! I was impressed when I saw everything out of there And when you got it back in and organized I was even more impressed ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@lorettachan8065]

I feel that Lego is a building toy to develop counting, imagination and logic. ❤The best way to do them is build but put it in a clear shoe storage bin on the lid then the 'bottom bin' as a dome to display his creation but you can stack them. When he tires of a build, disassemble into that bin and set the instruction book in with it. If he turns out to love❤ building with Lego then you will need a fitted sheet on the floor to keep Lego contained. If you add a cord around it then to clean up is just grab all the corners/edges/string and into a bigger bin it goes. Less Mom cleaning issues or baby finds the stray pieces. 😅Kids tend to dump out but the fitted sheet keeps it contained. Other idea, under the bed storage bins can be a whole city or space set up with the unused pieces to the side or an end. No Mom help required to clean up if it stays in the longer wider bin that will slide under the bed protecting his masterpieces. 😂

[@inspiracoeske]

Love your vídeos!🥰🥰🥰

[@doyourememberanna]

Thanks for the inspiration, as always!! New to your channel and loving it!

[@bellaw.8630]

Our stories are so similar, husband and I separated in summer 2022 and after months of therapy decided to reconcile and now pregnant with our 2nd with an almost 4 yr old. Reconciliation is such hard work, I’m glad you guys had a happy ending together as well. ❤

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕when we moved into this house, of course we don’t have that frig, the lady that lived here had dementia & love cats, we had to clean the carpet, the cat hairs were unbelievable, then the fridge was unbelievable, that’s the grossest I have seen during my 71 years

[@nicolethome8501]

Your bedroom looks amazing and it inspired me to do a complete make over to our bedroom. Our bedding just got here and I am so excited!!! Thank you for the content and motivation Catherine.

[@jamiesharpe3856]

For the nostalgia baby items I sorted mine in bins by size. Then later I was able to donate or pass on with less effort.

[@amy.thomson1989]

I just found your channel. Am a new subscriber. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos

[@laineybugger]

A lot of medicine comes in smaller sizes if you check the travel section at Target, Walmart etc

[@sharleneharper993]

Another way to get more space in your closet is to raise the first bar up higher and add a second bar. The space doubles for more hanging.

[@judicaton7325]

On the part where you're decluttering your closet, you had said that you have a basement. I was just curious if you had room for one of those pop up closets that has a zipper to protect them? I live in a very small apartment, so I'm always looking for ways to minimize or organize lol!

[@leahhope2105]

Sometimes I buy travel sizes of things that I don't use much of

[@ritathainey-clement8222]

You have an excess of a lot more than books!!

[@CatherineElaine]

Ok

[@barbaracorbett8234]

Hello, great video. Thank you for sharing. Can you tell me where you got the door organizing shelf unit? I didn't see it on your Amazon favorites.

[@carolinecordelia]

Loved your video and your toddler. When decluttering clothes from his room while he have a nap why don't you just put him in his baby carriage (stroller?). In Norway babies always have their nap outside in their baby carriage but I know this is not common in America, but you could just use the top bag as a crib inside, put him in another room. This way he will also get used to sleep in other places. (I don't know if you have a baby carriage or a stroller as he is a toddler, not a baby). 😊

[@VeeEverett616]

Where to purchase the hand held stick vacuum

[@MendeMaria-ej8bf]

You only have one bathroom? Some people would be happy to have one. Fortunately, I've a small one. ❤

[@CatherineElaine]

We are definitely happy we have one 🙂

[@MendeMaria-ej8bf]

@@CatherineElaine I was actually referring to your señtence: If you only have ONE bathroom, ... . ☺

[@Yscarlett1]

It happens to me as well I still got my daughter clothes when she was a new born till 3 months and she’ll be five in April 😢.

[@laurarodewald2276]

Catherine, Is the shelf for toys on the back of the door able to be cut smaller to adapt to a shorter area? I’d like it on the side of my linen closet for my cleaning products to sit in, and curling iron and hairdryer. can I ask where that if from? TIA. PS.And don’t fret! Most fridges are mess, I know I’m always moving thing around, unfortunately I don’t have the space for a bigger one.People these days love to criticize others🙄

[@CatherineElaine]

My husband cut ours to fit better so I’d say yes!

[@agemoth]

I've never seen you do any ironing. Do you not do any ? (me neither !) 😂

[@Nurse67]

I know you said it’s from the container store but I don’t see a link

[@CatherineElaine]

Just added the link!

[@kimwieczorek1879]

You didnt like the Tineco wet dry vac??

[@CatherineElaine]

I go back and forth on how I feel about it 🤣 it’s sooo nice and convenient to have and works great. But it requires a lot of maintenance, you’re constantly cleaning the machine or it gets stinky

[@BabyfaceGaming101]

Take curtains and hang them up the length of the wall behind your bed and hang things from them...that will fix the window issue for you...

[@CatherineElaine]

I’ve thought about it but I think with the light coming in only on one side it would still throw me off 😅

[@MendeMaria-ej8bf]

We people in Western countries obviously have far too much clutter. Our companies don't seem to produce useful and sustainable products that serve our purposes. Unfortunately, we waste our money for them. We need to become aware of being abused by our industry and think of the real values. In any case: Thank you for your tutorial.

[@jeanettehowell8906]

💕💕💕donate to your clothes to a local women shelter helps you feel better about your clothes

[@ritathainey-clement8222]

You can’t do one without the other? I don’t think you do either!

[@luzbustamante1768]

Ojalá algún día llegue la claridad a tu mente ....y ve🎉as que tienes demaciado....esa no fue depuracion....

[@MendeMaria-ej8bf]

We obviously waste a lot of time and money making our lives more difficult than necessary.

[@juliac.9186]

Maybe this is a US-American thing but watching your video, I keep wondering why you are so focused on the expiration date -especially with food. Why wouldn‘t you just open the items and smell/taste them as most are much langer good than the expiration date suggests. This was, a lot of food could be kept a bit longer and - because you are now aware in needs to be used up - not thrown away. Saves money, avoids food waste and teaches our children to treat food with respect.

[@CatherineElaine]

I have a pretty deep rooted fear of getting sick, so if there’s any doubt I do get rid of it.

[@juliac.9186]

This I understand perfectly well and is exactly the reason why I trust my nose and tastebuds more than the (sometimes randomly picked) expiration date 😅 Because sometimes e.g. dairy products were not cooled the way they are supposed to and then they turned bad before they are supposed to and I REALLY hate the thought of drinking bad whipped cream 🤢 or - worse - give any of that to my children. So I just always smell and/or taste before I use it and never look at the date put on it. I feel safer this way… Anyways, your video was really great and motivational! You are the first KZbinr I came across to say that function is more important than aesthetics - I feel like a lot of people need to hear and understand this as it takes a lot off the pressure some might feel from social media… All the best to you and your family!

[@KarenJonesschimke-up8em]

Good but, you took toooooooooo long. We watched the linen closet cleaning for 10 min and didn't learn anything.

[@CatherineElaine]

It costs nothing to be kind ❤️ you can always skip ahead of whatever doesn’t serve you
