I recognize (or at least it seems to me that) these videos are posted by and watched by mostly women, which is just fine. However, I am just kind of a messy guy with a deep longing to be a clean and tidy guy. (Secretly, I think my wife is hoping for the same transformation in me.) Keeping tidy has been a struggle for me, I will admit. I really like your videos. They are happy and helpful. Thanks. It's great to see siblings who hang out and really seem to like each other. Thanks for all the cleaning tips and encouragement. Cheers, Steve

[@samanthabarron8481]

The concepts in these videos are for everyone! It’s great that you’re on this journey with all of us. You will get the hang of it and do great 😁 it’s all in the daily habits. You commented 2 years ago. How are you doing now??

[@bengalcatlady]

I think you should do Cas Clutterbug Quiz and find out your organizing style. Not only you could benefit from it - maybe also your wife does. I‘m a hiding cricket and married a visualizing bee. Now I know that, I can help us both to be more a team in organization.

[@stevengraham3278]

​@@samanthabarron8481 Thank you for your kind reply. Actually, I am doing well (as is my wife, Darlene) :). There is sooo much to catch up on though - cleaning wise... ahhhhh! I was working on my PhD and just finished. (It took me 12 years because my parents were older, and they both got sick. Then my brother got sick, and I could not very well work on my dissertation (which had a lot to do with the importance of kindness) and not help out my family when they needed me the most. Sadly, everyone passed away, but on the bright side, because I was there I was able to help my brother reconcile with my parents and all three of them passed at peace with themselves, each other, and God (which was important to them). Now, that I am finished with my work (since 30 Nov 2023) I have been working on my yard, garage, basement, bedrooms, everything. :) And, I still love your videos. They keep me company when I work. :) Thanks. (Sorry for the long note.) All my best, Steve

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I’m confused. When you say “ clean” do you really mean tidy? It’s just in the UK clean is to wipe worktops etc down, or hoovering etc. But in the US it seems to mean tidying.

I know, right? Mind blown! I think this is towards the top of my favorite tips of hers so far!

[@kimhouchins8653]

That is such a great idea.

[@DebbyeCannon]

Utensils have categories too. I use “HOT” for any used by the stove: cooking spoons, tongs,ladels, flipper spatula, hot pads “CUTTING’” tools are most efficient by the sink:knives, peelers, can openers, ice cream scoops, pizza cutter kitchen shears, ice pick (optional) add your favorite cutting board & colander. MIX CENTER: measuring cups, spoons, rubber spatula, whisk, mixing spoon , mixer, bowl

[@gingerstrahan7464]

Debbye Cannon This works well for me, too.

[@juliewright1895]

I do this too. My categories are cooking, baking, serving, and sharp. :-)

[@HappilyOrganizedChaos]

Raise your hand if you love watching Diana and Dawn together ✋🙋‍♀️❤️ This video just gave me the motivation to once again challenge myself and go through my pantry and baking cabinet. I’ve already filmed my own video during the decluttering process on my channel but I think it’s time to rethink some of my ideas!! Thank you Dawn and Diana 💕

[@pegbrown3549]

You 2 are so much fun to watch. Last week my husband and I went thru our silverware and cooking utensil drawers and purged like nobody's business. Ended up sending a big box full to my new daughter-in-law to take what she wanted and she kept them all. My hubster is so on board with the new purging me. Between you 2 and him...I'm on a roll. Sometimes if i need a pop of encouragement I slide one of those drawers open...instant fix.🤣

Wahoo!!! This is AWESOME!!! ♥️👍

[@usflin]

[@lindseyheringer2641]

I totally would have switched those frequently used utensils to the front too. You read my mind.

[@lindaremillard2604]

Enjoy your blog. Trying to par down.i have a lot of clutter.

[@marijkekohler574]

After I watched the video I went over to the kitchen and applied the rule you just used: expired or haven't used over a year, to my spices. I threw out way more than I expected. Feels good. Thanks for the video!

[@carylhalfwassen8555]

Marijke Köhler My local grocery store has been taken over by Kroger and Kroger is eliminating the small jars of spices. I live in the downtown area of a medium size city with lots of empty nesters and young people who do not need or use the large quantity containers. Seems a waste because the herbs lose flavor before we can use them.

[@nourishedheiress]

I tackled my kitchen today because of this video!!!! THANK YOU. It feels so clean and good!! I'm so excited for clearing out the random things I don't use anymore. It took me about 3.5 hours... that's how stuffed my kitchen was... but it's so clean now that I want to make my overnight steel-cut oatmeal (I've been meaning to make these on a regular basis since I've moved to this place) and bake some muffins! May Jesus keep blessing you and your sister's family!

[@aimtok]

I found that only keeping 4 or 5 plastic bags for back up is all I needed. I recycle the rest of them at my local grocery store. Using reusable bags also cuts down on so much clutter of bags but if you get grocery delivery then you don't have a choice! Maybe one day!

[@warblingsongbird5530]

I’m learning to make plarn (plastic yarn). You cut strips of the grocery bags and crochet them into rugs and bags. I was told my local grocery just puts them in the trash when brought back so I knew I had to find a use for the buggars! Kids/teenagers like the bags.

[@digispace1]

You can also connect plastic shopping bags together and put them in recycled containers like empty tissue boxes or coffee cans with the lid cut like a canister of wipes. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXKf2Wjnd-br7c). Food pantries often use plastic bags. They would love to have them, probably. I donated some that way before. Garbage bags for the bathroom or just recycling them are good, too.

[@digispace1]

@@sheffieldjcondo4828 I agree. I sometimes go to Aldi's or Save-a-Lot and don't want to buy a bag because I already have so many. I also don't want to grab an empty box off the shelf because I don't want to deal with getting rid of it when I get home, either.

[@GallieSallie]

Dawn your kitchen videos in your home have inspired me and I've organized my Ikea cabinet that I use as my pantry with pull out bins from Target, labeled.. Its so beautiful I open it daily just to look at it. I've also purged and organized my mugs and glasses (2 shelves worth) and after living with that for a while now know I can purge more mugs. I'm 60 and grew up with a hoarder. mom so never learned how to purge or organize. There are tons of YT videos, but yours have just truly resonated with me and I feel that I'm learning so much from you. My goal is a clean, organized ENTIRE home. Doubt I'll ever obtain minimalism but I am definitely getting rid of lots of items and it feels so good!

[@JailynJames]

It's amazing how fast you can organize when you have a cheerleader helping you. I love when my friend comes to help me!

[@DTurner168]

I LOVE the “quarantine bin” concept! I never would have thought of this. It’s perfect to have those things out of the way, still around if needed but I’m thinking I will find I can live without them. Genius!!

[@littleolives4517]

I’m in the process of moving... packing as I watch this... you’ve been so helpful! I’m putting MORE items into the trash, donation and recycle pile than what’s actually going into my boxes for the house! Yaaassssss!! 👌🏼

[@betsyhada2936]

I’m close to finished on a whole-home remodel. Living here the whole time. I did one minor purge of the rooms as each was boxed up. But I’m doing a much more ruthless purge as I unbox each room. “Do I want to clutter up my beautiful new space with this?” The answer has had me take a few carloads to my local Goodwill.

[@springrain777]

1.38 min in and i think you are so right! We underestimate the effect our surroundings have on us. (I noticed this exaggerated when 4 days into decluterring with everything around me i was so pulled down by it until a corner was finished & it was so good just to look into that corner- from then on i felt brighter & the encouragement to keep at it.

Good. I'm not the only one who feels like they need a clean kitchen before I start dinner. Now that it's mostly decluttered (Thank you Dawn!) it feels like less of a chore to do the daily dishes/wipe down counters before I start cooking.

Loved this video. I am a very visual person and actually seeing the process was so helpful for me! More please

[@nicholewade8233]

Oh you hit it on the head with what you said about feeling like life is in order if the kitchen is. Currently we are having back splash tile installed and everything is on my kitchen table and my stove is pulled out. Now this shouldn't take as long as it has but the first guy we hired basically abandoned the job, the second guy is doing a good job just taking forever! So anyways...luckily I had already gone through my kitchen and thinned things down but it still feels like I can't take it anymore! We've been living this way for several weeks. Love your videos! So very helpful!

[@mindybanda301]

I love the idea of the “I don’t know what to do with bin” with the date to get rid of if you haven’t used it by then. I feel that takes a lot of pressure off decision making when you feel stuck. I’m so going to try that.

It’s funny that when I watch your older videos, my body cringes a little when you say the word “quarantine”. 😂

Yes, we DO need support and can benefit in receiving it from others :D I have gotten my support from your channel, as it is what first motivated and inspired me to clear off my kitchen counters which led to cabinet organization, etc. Dawn, you have said that you are not the organized person who loves to clean and organize but you have sure redeemed yourself in this respect:) :) You are a wonderful inspiration and you have such creative ideas mixed with practical wisdom and no-nonsense advice. What a fun encouragement you have been to Diana! Diana, your kitchen looked beautiful before and now it is even moreso.. and clean and clutter-free! I just love those acrylic bins. I have been searching for the flat kind for our utensil drawer and now, am thinking about getting (2) after seeing this. Plus, after watching this, I managed to find (1) spatula from our already decluttered utensil drawer, the same one as Diana's! Diana, you SHOULD be proud of your kitchen and Dawn, you are so sweet to carve time out of your day to make this video with Diana in such a timely manner! I loved it as always. :)

[@kellymary2444]

I am sad that this video isn't longer!!!!! When the end music started playing I was like... No not yet! Lol 😂 another please! Also Dawn, have you ever considered making a minimal mom training course like organizers club? You could have certified minimal moms in every state 😉 with all of your followers on here you'd have the perfect base for both clients and women who want to become certified minimal moms! You've definitely got the skills 😉!

I went through my kitchen cabinets when I got out of school in June. I felt like I had gotten rid of a lot but then after watching many of Dawn's videos I gave it another pass and was more ruthless. I got rid of another large bin of stuff and now only stuff I truly use on a regular basis is in my kitchen. I find myself going in and opening cabinets and drawers just to look at them.

I know I still need to get rid of more from our kitchen, but so far I feel so proud of myself for making things more orderly! It is truly amazing what a difference it makes to put like things together in little bins or baskets because it saves space for sure, you just pull it down to look for what you need! Also, I was so happy you switched up the utensil drawer to put the longway items in front -- I was thinking the same 😄 This is so inspiring to actually watch because the satisfaction of seeing it done brings on motivation to face our little stressful spaces!

Tom's comment about the state of the kitchen affecting his stress level hit me so hard. This is so true for my husband. It just compounds his overwhelm. Or it sets him up to feel ready to hit the day. As a result I woke up at 5 today (watched this last night) and cleared the counters and flat surfaces like we're staged to sell. And he noticed immediately.

It's so much fun watching the two of you together! Hope we see more of the Diana and Dawn duo. In my baking area, I have a bin with salt, baking powder, baking soda and cream of tartar. When I'm making a cake or cookies, it's so handy to pull these out together, ready to measure, and put them away just as easily. I love my label maker, and making labels for my bins is my payoff when I've finished. The labels make it easy for everyone in the family to see at a glance what's in the bin, and also know where to put things back. In my pantry, I have a labeled row of cheap bins with handles for granola bars, cookies, candy, seasoning packets, etc.

I agree with Tom. I feel so much better when the kitchen is clean and under control.

[@idekmarijke2380]

You are soooo inspiring! Watching many of your videos and they HELP me very much! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am ready to start now!

Poster putty...awesome tip! Looks good Diana!

[@susanpeterson9947]

That was fun to watch, thanks, ladies! I went through ALL of my cabinets and drawers about six months ago, but feel like I’m ready to make another, more ruthless pass.

[@hollyholmes925]

Oh my goodness. Just watched. You and your Diana are so cute together. So respectful and encouraging. Loved this!

[@jessjudy2556]

That quote from Tom about the kitchen being clean and tidy makes life feel in control is great. I agree and Dawn you're right about my attitude to cook is better when the kitchen is functional and clean. Thanks for the inspiration to even downsize further. 😊

Thank you for sharing your home, your wonderful ideas, & a peek of the beautiful baby! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm decluttering my cupboards. I love the progress I'm making.Thank God for you.

[@cherylhuntley53]

I have numerous drawers that throw up. It made me laugh and gives a great smelly vision. TY

[@amandawarner5928]

Thank you for the great ideas, I plan on incorporating some of them! Your sisters kitchen is beautiful!

[@PahlaB]

Totally agree that a clean kitchen makes everything feel better! Love this clean out. It’s so weird how things migrate into the kitchen and then seem to live there forever.

[@emmakeatingclark2825]

I so enjoyed this dawn and diane. We moved into our new kitchen about 8 months ago and it already needs a declutter. Youve inspired me thank you!
