It's good to let your bed air out in the morning . Fold the cover down and make it up an hour or so later.

[@mixedmedialife7916]

One morning I was making the bed while my husband was in the room getting dressed. It suddenly dawned on my dim brain that there's no reason my husband shouldn't also be making the bed! He sleeps in it every night after all. It's not exactly a learned skill to make it. Takes less than 30 seconds to pull up the sheets and fluff the pillows! I didn't make a big fuss I just asked him for help. He did and has every morning since.

[@shannontorrens1]

That is great! Our rule is last one out makes the bed and that is almost always me LOL. He leaves really early for work everyday =)

[@jaellouis4749]

My mom was not a "let the kids do as they please" kinda mom. We had to tidy our room before bed and before we left for school. She didn't want us to leave it cluttered for her to have to look at all day. And it was also nice to wake up in the morning in a tidy room.

[@bhargavi18]

Your mom is such a treasure. Having her in your life is such a blessing, truly. Mine is halfway across the world and so it makes me happy to see how your ma brings so much love, laughter and beauty into your life. Stay blessed Shannon! Love your videos! ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! I hope you have a nice day.

[@simply.clutterfree]

That picture by Kathy will look beautiful. I'm glad you're a minimalist who appreciates colour and coziness 😊❤️

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh thank you!

[@luciegallagher2710]

It’s a really good idea actually to reset at the beginning of the month. I do all my checks too, water softener, fire alarms, etc much easier to remember! Xx

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I’m in Canada and the benefit is that we do get to change our wardrobes according to the seasons. I still would prefer to live where it’s warmer all year round but since I don’t I like to look at things as the glass half filled.😂

[@micheleohmer4117]

I am doing a reset of our freezer and pantry. Using up all the older stuff before restocking. It's sometimes funny what meals we come up with, to use things up 😂

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Michele, that is such a great idea to use everything up by making interesting meals. I feel there is usually one night a week where we just eat a lot of random leftovers lol. I hope you have a nice day.

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I love these monthly resets. It inspires me to start doing this.🥰🥰🥰 My son recently got engaged and his fiancé has moved in with us. She loves cooking and my son is a chef so they have been enjoying grocery shopping and cooking together. How did I get this lucky????🥰😂

[@shannontorrens1]

That is awesome! I wish I had someone to cook for me, that sounds amazing. Sometimes my mom will come over and make something delicious, but that is one reason I love Green Chef it allows me to try new meals I wouldn't normally make =)

[@annawiest8760]

Your mom’s artwork looks so fresh and beautiful in your kitchen.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Anna! I hope you are having a good day =)

[@tgayer1]

I love that painting that your mom did!

Quick zip sheets for hard to make beds! God bless you and yours.

[@laury-pf5qc]

Hi just want to say I love watching your channel, we are a minimalist family too and it just makes me happy watching you reset your house. Thank you, from Australia. 😊

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh thank you!

[@MrGrumpyGills]

I think like you do when I switch out my clothes for the new season 😊 Sometimes I even don't remember all of the things I stored and am pleasantly surprised. At the moment it's still quite cold and rainy where I live (south-east Germany) so I'm kind of inbetween winter and spring clothes. I'm looking forward to warmer temperatures for sure.

[@shannontorrens1]

Love that! It's always a fun surprise to see what is in the box =) We are also having some rain every few days. It makes it hard to get dressed in the morning with extreme weather changes lol.

[@angelwings1]

The first thing I do when I step out of bed is turn around and start making the bed. I also add a throw & cushions. Then I can use the loo & get dressed etc. It’s literally ingrained into my brain lol

[@shannontorrens1]

That is exactly what I do! I don't like to leave the room till the bed is made, it literally takes me less than a minute.

[@melissamaher6798]

Lovely home reset. It feels so good to have everything in their own places around the home. Loved you mum’s artwork 😊

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Melissa, Our bedspread was bought a few years ago from Home Goods and the tablecloths I bought from Amazon.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

In Europe and Scandinavia we "unmake" our bed each morning.. shake everything out, open the windows and air and let the sun in... this gets rid of moisture you loose in the night into your bedding and reduces bed mites (they don't like dry, cold, light)...the bed should be aired for at least 1hr.. but I leave the house to take kids to school and then on to work.. so we make out beds in the evening before we go in the bathroom to get ready for bed (shower, brush teeth, pjs etc)... it works perfectly... and my unmade bed looks great to me because I know its better for our health.

[@annamichelle3248]

Doing a simple reset every month is a great idea!

[@NoodlesMusings]

You were on fire, you did so much. I love the picture your mum did.

[@r.p.9829]

We still use ice trays also..its my husband's job each morning to fill the bin and refill the trays...

[@shannontorrens1]

That is awesome!

[@monicayoung42]

I reset the house properly every 10 weeks. I am a full time Middle School Teacher and I have 4 kids. I do quick resets on Sundays but in the holidays I go right through the house. My brain is able to focus when I’m not in term tone so I clean through and de clutter.

[@ImLunaShesZeta]

That tip to cut the flowers was amazing! And I love that painting your mom did.

[@toniabarrett7920]

I don’t have a dishwasher or ice maker in my new house. I don’t miss them. Love your shows

[@anniebernardo7977]

So lucky you have your mom.. now that im also a mom i appreciate my mom even more..and i love that you include her in your videos.. such a cool mom..

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Annie, I really do feel lucky that she lives so close =)

[@anniebernardo7977]

Totally random but at 2:59 it looks like you are wearing a crown 👑

[@debcarroll8192]

I've never been the first comment before! Changing out clothes for the seasons is something I've never done before. It does seem like a good idea to keep the hanging clothes from being too packed in and getting so wrinkled.

[@shannontorrens1]

Hi Deb, Yay for being first =) I like to switch my clothes because of that exact reason.

[@dianeyoung8068]

I don't have enough clothes to take any out seasonally.

[@lakequeen64]

Hi Shannon,loved your video ,you made everything looks nice and cozy,love seeing you with your family,please tell your mom hi and you both are fun to watch together ❤️May God bless you both and your family.🙏

I freeze my bread too

[@26alexther]

I put mine in fridge 😊 have been doing it quite a while since bread really gets moldy so easily.

[@porcelina956]

Stripped down the bed and washed everything. Aired out the mattress earlier today and sprinkled baking soda on top and then vacuum.

[@thepioneerhomestead]

Thank you for this realistic and encouraging reset!!! 🥰 Being a wife and mom along with keeping a beautiful home…such a blessing to see!💗

Great job Shannon! 💕

[@krism4139]

"Reset" our bedroom a couple of weeks ago after painting it. It feels so good to know there are no dust bunnies behind and under the bed anymore! I wish it was permanent 😊 In the process, I realized that we never used the light fixture on our ceiling fan so we removed it. I was full of dust 🙄 I'm hungry after seeing the veggies on the grill - yum! Brown sugar - I just finished making some this morning by whisking molasses into regular sugar. It's so easy and I can make a smaller amount and store it in a mason jar. Thanks for a great video!

[@pamhowe5388]

Great video. The boys room looks wonderful.❤

[@MonieMuse]

I’m totally in the same stage as you, and funny to see what’s inside your fridge cause I buy the same items 😂 I have my washer and dryer in the kitchen 😩so I do laundry everyday but Sunday, it’ll be fun to see your method

Good morning, Shannon. Did you get new bedsheets? Those are really pretty! Your sons room looks really good. Levi is growing up so fast! What a cutie. I love your blue tablecloth. It looks so pretty with your pictures. And I love the painting your mom did for you in the kitchen. I always love a pop of color. Enjoy your day!

I would like to get my closet down to only enough for all seasons to fit in it so things don't have to be transferred to another place.

Hola Shannon...I love your kids room its lovely. I like the desk they have. Where is it available?

[@shannontorrens1]

Hello, that desk is from Ikea =) Very affordable too.

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

I’m also strangely early to the comment party this time. Lol. I have a weird closet. Or should I say closets. 😅😅 It’s set up with a little nook between 2 super small closet spaces (each is little more than 2 feet of space). I use the middle nook also tho for some hanging stuff with a tension rod and I keep my super small hamper in there. It’s pretty easy I guess to switch out the seasons by just switching where I hang things. Also I have a shelf in the main one so I can only hang “short” things there. The middle is mostly just pants , skirts and a couple of dresses. I finally got my all seasons wardrobe down to about 75 hanging items (including coats, jackets, etc lol). Also now use an armoire with a tv inside so it’s not “drawers” anymore. It’s just a shelf and a bottom. So top shelf is in season and bottom shelf is 2 bins in the bottom. So I just put the in season on top and the off season on the bottom. Socks and undies are to the left in tiny internal drawers (it was originally made for a desk setup 😅😅).

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you for sharing your set up it sounds really organized =)

[@amonralice]

Hey, Shannon. The part where you mentioned your kitchen being a disaster, made me laugh because it reminded me of the other youtubers' kitchens REALLY being a disaster. 😂

[@shannontorrens1]

haha! Hi Alice, that is funny. I guess this is a disaster to me lol. I hope you have a nice day.

[@amonralice]

@@shannontorrens1 I'm the same, lol. 😁 Minimalist for two and a half years now. You?

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

I know we all do things differently as parents, and no judgment here, just something that worked for me: I "trained" (what's the right word here, they aren't pets) to put away their own toys - they played with it, they get to clean it up and put it away properly (in the box it came in, in the bin labeled with the item (or picture of the item) on it, etc. If they did not put away their toys/belongings, then if Mom or Dad had to take care of it, then Mom or Dad would be taking those items to the donation center "where another kid would love it and take better care of it". I tell you this bc I felt bad that you were stressing out cleaning out the boys' room before they came home with Grandma. You are the Mom, not the Maid, and you have enough to do in a day 💝

[@shannontorrens1]

I am not offended, but like I said in the video they normally do their room all themselves but I wanted to do it because I had an extra minute and I again WANTED to do it myself. I wanted to get it cleaner than they do. I wasn't stressed I just wanted to finish cleaning the whole house before everyone came home =)

LED lights emit significant radiation.

[@susannovak8263]

The amount of radiation you are exposed to while using LED lights is nothing compared to the radiation produced by the sun, TV remote controls, cell phones, etc.

[@shannontorrens1]

Hello, I looked that up after I read your comment Mary since I know almost nothing about LED lights. As Susan mentioned I read that the radiation is coming at us from all angles. =) I guess we just have to enjoy life while we are living.
