RESET WITH ME | 2025 resetting my home space for the new year

[@debbieherrin9982]

Today is January 5 and I go back to school tomorrow for PD with students returning Tuesday. We’ve had a wonderful break with family and friends over. Mini vacation to New Orleans for the Polar Express train ride…thankfully leaving the day before the terrorist attack. I’m planning to take down my Christmas decor next weekend. We’re just enjoying it a little longer since we have been busy. Tomorrow, it’s back to the real world. Lol!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@debbieherrin9982 so glad you had a wonderful break and that you were all safe♥️

[@Mrs.EvaAtkins]

I was also taking down my tree on January 2nd. I did leave my villages up until today (1/8). I love putting it up but I also love taking it down. 😊When I needed a break I also sat to do Connections, Strands and Wordle. 🤣 Praying you feel well and ready to go back to school! ❤

[@mariacortez7050]

Slowly taking things down. Back to workday today January 6. Loved this video!!!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

I hope your first day back wasn’t too rough!

[@Quilter1970]

Loved, loved the clean with me. It was motivating.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

I'm so glad!🥰🧺 Happy New Year!

[@mellykat2620]

I always take down my tree and other Christmas stuff on the 26th of December. I find that I enjoy it more when it's up for just a few weeks and I also can relax more when it's away. I don't want that job staring at me all break. It also feels so good to get back all that space.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It definitely feels like more of a treat when it's for a shorter period!

[@celissatucker9133]

Totally understand I gave up on putting our tree back into the box. We got a Christmas tree bag, game changer!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Oooh! Maybe once the box dies we’ll get one of these! Do you keep it put together in the bag? Or break it down still?

[@celissatucker9133]

@ we still break it down.

[@shelbyduck8113]

This was so fun to watch!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Thank you friend!!🥰

[@debramay3340]

Today is Jan 15. I have put Christmas away and organized some spaces. You are so cute.

[@morganwitherall1996]

We finally put Christmas on the weekend 6:52

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It honestly feels so good to clean and put it down in a way!

[@morganwitherall1996]

@ yes you got that right. When will you be posting another video in your classroom?

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@ vlogging this week😊

Happy New Year!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

[@Ele-6800]

Happy New Year! You’re going to love the steam mop. Thanks for sharing the nee workout clothes from Amazon. I have a gift card from a student and I may look into those leggings. I do love the Old Navy ones too though. Have a great rest of the school year. Can’t believe we’re halfway done!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Happy New Year! Still loving the steam mop AND love the leggings too! They are similar to the old navy ones!

[@MaximaCastillo-d6n]

Feliz 2025. Acá tenemos que esperar hasta después del 6 de Enero ya que es el Día de Reyes y se celebra también 🎉.

[@patriciagallop2551]

Today is January 4th. I took the Christmas tree down the 2nd. I’ve washed clothes (still working on that), I watched my aunt and uncle’s dog, rearranging my bedroom today, and making sausage balls tomorrow. We never have teacher work days to prep after a holiday. I’m now taking a break and watching you.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

You sound like you’re a super organized and productive person. I hope you enjoyed the video!🥰

[@LisaCook-l1d]

Happy NewYear!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

[@teachloveinspire561]

I have the same issue with my Christmas Tree and getting it back into the box! Happy New Year!!!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It’s the worst part of taking down the tree!! 😂

[@MVPonthego]

Hello Katie, Happy New Year! It was nice hanging out with you today. I love my Shark Steam Mop (don’t be afraid to add a little vinegar for extra disinfectant- a few drops to the water 💦). Here in Jersey we went back on Thursday 💆🏻‍♀️ but the break was a great time to rest and rest. Have a beautiful start of the new year at school- love from Jersey ❤

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@MVPonthego ooh thanks for the tip!! Hope you had a great few days back!

[@cocob6366]

I got pneumonia and bronchitis around November 6th. Had a nasty, deep, lingering cough and nose junk all the way until mid-December. Then it turned into a sinus infection and pleurisy. I am just now starting to feel like myself after 3 antibiotics, steroid/cough pills, and 2 inhalers. Sick for 8 weeks, this thing really kicked my butt! Glad you are feeling better! I can't take down Christmas yet because my college kids don't want me to so I'll wait until they go back. 🥲

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@cocob6366 my goodnesss I’m glad you’re on the road to recovery! Pneumonia was definitely not fun!

[@cocob6366]

Not fun at all! My fever got up to 104-105 degrees, I really thought I was dying. Here's to a healthy New Year!

[@debreale5236]

Wow! Great job deep cleaning!! Happy 2025!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Happy new year!! I am excited for 2025!

[@Alicemarie55]

I love your video. I put away my Christmas decorations today and tomorrow I’m going to clean my living room space and put it back to normal or as normal as I can

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

You got this!!

[@susangumbrell3874]

Hi Katie, we have a tradition that we take our christmas decorations down at candlemass. Which is february2nd. This is an old tradition from many years ago, when we started our family we decided that This would be one of our traditions. I know that loads of people think it is far too long, but we dont mind and it gives us time to settle with the decs going back in the loft, we also all take them down so its like a family activity. This does mean we have to dust the baubles more. But it doesnt take long. Happy New Years Cleaning. It is so satisfying when you know that dont a good Cleaning day. Blessings Susie 🙏🎄🎶🇬🇧

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@susangumbrell3874 no matter when they happen, cleaning days are super satisfying! Sounds like such a nice family tradition!♥️

[@susangumbrell3874]

@mrs_katie_in_elementary Hello Katie, it is a lovely tradition. This christmas has been a little different for us as a family because my Dad passed away in the September of 2024 and he always joined us for his birthday which was just before christmas and spent many days with us over the christmas break. So it has been a little strange but we have spent loads of family time together which has been really nice. I'm due back to school this monday which is always nice to see everyone, colleagues and students. This evening it has started to snow and it's still going strange, so we could be making a snowman tomorrow if we have enough snow, I'm praying that we do🙏❄️❄️

[@danielleayde2330]

Happy New Year! 🥳

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Same to you! Let’s make this year amazing!✨

[@danielleayde2330]

@mrs_katie_in_elementary looks like you are off to a God start.

[@candycenteno4696]

Hello! I love this video! I started deep cleaning before I went on vacation. I can't wait to get back home and finish🎉 I would love to see or have u tell us your workout specific workouts.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

I will share more about my gym in an upcoming vlog for sure! Happy New Year!

[@CourtneyMcCardel]

I love your bed! Do you mind sharing a link if you have one?

[@jomeek4067]

I wish I could say that I was able to reset my house after the new year. Unfortunately I was busy resetting my classroom/school! My school was struck by a tornado on December 28! 😢

[@nicolespivey9521]

Happy New Year! The Christmas decorations come down on December 26th. I spent the rest of my break relaxing, reading, and spending time with family and friends. I had planned to get my life and house organized, but I did not do that. I had to go back to school on Jan 2nd.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It is always good to have a plan and enjoy the relaxing days over break! Hope you had a great first few days back!

[@catlove369]

I am an online school teacher so I made my dream office during the break.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@catlove369 sounds lovely!!

[@ClaudiaSanchez-1991]

Happy New Year!! Our Christmas tree usually stays up until January 6th although I have asked my husband already to take it down!!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

I feel you!! I'm ready for a fresh start in the new year, too!

[@Happy-is-Homemade]

It is janu 5, and i havent taken down anything. We have a real tree so i like to enjoy it as much as possible

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

That makes sense!! ♥️

[@nicolewright4322]

Katie, Do you have a link to the vocabulary slides you use? Thank you!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

For my reading instruction? I just make them to go with what I am teaching... no link, sorry!

[@emeliamoore9467]

Happy New Year! Where is your hat from?

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

@@emeliamoore9467 it’s a headwynd beanie! I love them because the inside is lined with a dry fit fabric that doesn’t itch, even after a long wear!
