I really hope you enjoy today's video, its jam-packed with motivation! but I also lose the motivation...but then regain it 🤣and of course things continue to break, we get into all of that in todays video! I wanted to mention a couple things, this video is SUPER chatty, I'd say 99% of the video is chatting, but its a fun time HA! Its also super long & I forgot to mention a couple things, #1 when we're in the 4 season working on the toy cabinet, theres a white rubber bucket I hold up, all those items were decluttered #2 theres a sheet on the kitchen window, not sure why i felt the need to mention it, but I do 🤣 I need new curtains. Luv & appreciate ya so much! XOXO
This is what I came across on the web before I did my overflow sections : "Designate a "backstock" area so that high-traffic areas can stay neat and clutter-free. Especially if you have a busy household or do a lot of Costco shopping, you should definitely find a space in the home to use as a backstock area. It can be way up high on the top shelf of your pantry, in a cabinet in the garage, or in the linen closet. Creating a system is easy if you can keep the limits on the amount of stuff you own or have a separate space for the overflow. " (Source - Buzzfeed) Designate Spaces for Backstock -------- One of the tenets of The Home Edit is “backstock,” or useful extra stuff you store at home, like toothpaste, pantry goods, and of course, toilet paper. If there’s one thing 2020 taught us, it’s that having those essentials on hand is way better than vying for them in a sold-out grocery store during times of emergency. The Home Edit is about being organized, not minimalist. So, having a logical backstock system is a core part of the method. While we hope to see no more toilet paper shortages in the near future, now’s a good time to organize your home, create spaces for backstock, and always be prepared. (Source - lifesavvy.com) ------------ “Backstock” refers to any surplus of products - like cleaning supplies, pantry items, beauty supplies, etc. - that are purchased as a backup for when you run out. It’s important to create a space for these items, whether in a cabinet, drawer, or even a separate shelving unit in a garage or storage room. Doing this helps you a) easily find your backstock items and b) keep track of what and when you need to repurchase. We often designate bins for backstock in pantries, much like Clea and Joanna’s team do for Jordana Brewster in Episode 7. It’s important to make sure backstock spaces are clearly labeled so you know to check them first for replacement items! (Source - moxiespace.com) -------------- Lovers of Costco and the Buy One, Get One sale, rejoice. The Home Edit has a solution for storing multiples and extras products! In a store, backstock is leftover stock. In your home, backstock is the backup item hanging around the shelf. Maybe you have a spare bottle or two of your favorite shampoo in the bathroom, extra laundry detergent, or multiple boxes of pasta in the pantry. According to The Home Edit Instagram, you can maximize your space by storing backstock above and below in a room. This tip means using the ground or a top-shelf that is too tall to hold things that you don't need to access daily. The main goal of storing backstock is to keep your high-traffic spaces clutter-free. Creating a designated area for backstock will make you aware of what you have so you don't overbuy, even if you can't pass up a good sale. (Source - housedigest.com) Hope this helps! Can't wait for your next videos!!
I love your talking. Talking to us. Talking to yourself. Talking to the wall. It's all good. I often watch UA-cam while I'm doing other things so I like that you talk because you're narrating what you're doing but you're also providing your own thoughts, inspiration, commentary. So I don't have to stare at a screen the whole time and can work along with you.
OMG Danni I've just finished watching your latest video and what a transformation! Your home finished up looking like it was 'show house' worthy by the end. I hope you sat down with a cuppa and appreciated all your hard work - So motivating ❤
You are so dang sweet dear! Thank you, I can't tell you enough how much that means to me! I try to enjoy it, but I usually can't sit still long enough to really enjoy it 😆 I'm so glad it was motivating. Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
Hi dear Danni it is always a joy to see you are there again I love "you being you" and wanting to share your heart with us and to encourage and uplift us -it is working - Thank you for being so sincere and for putting a smile on my face Keep going love and blessings from a 65 year old Dutch Grandma who lives in the UK 💐
Ok you are seriously pulling at my heartstrings here, I cannot tell you enough how much that means to me, I appreciate this comment and you so, so much! Thank you! Love and blessings to you and yours from MN. 🥰🥰😘
Aw thank you! Yes it always feels so, so much better when the house is completely picked up and tidy. Clears my head too lol. Appreciate ya so much dear! 🥰😘
I love your longer videos. You are so real and genuine. Looking forward to your next video. Good luck with your electrical issues. Your house looks great. Thank you for sharing with us, Danni.
You are so sweet! Seriously cannot tell you enough how much that means to me! I appreciate ya so much dear! And another thank you, I need all the luck I can get, I have an electrician coming out here tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers he can fix this, electrical freaks me out! Lots of luv 🥰🥰
Girl you are only breaking hoardering traditions and cycles . You are repairing future generations relationship to stuff and helping us tooooo! Plus the elevator music is always “betcha” ing
"betcha" ing 😂🤣🤣 hilarious! You are so dang sweet, thank you! It's crazy because before I started my journey to minimalism I didn't even realize that I was in a...how do I wanna say this... Generational pattern, is that a correct way to say that? (You said it better lol " hoarding traditions and cycles"... 💯) It wasn't until I started minimalism and I realized that I was following in my grandmother's footsteps and my mother's footsteps, and now I see my daughter and my son randomly decluttering and getting rid of stuff or better yet making better decisions on what they want to bring in the home. It's amazing! 🥰
Yaaassssss the overflow section!!!!!! Yay!!! I love you!!!! 😃😃😃Champion!!! 😃😃 Yes designing it like a supermarket!!!! Oh, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Yes you're right it's part of The Home Edit's organizational system.. it's totally changed my life - (I also totally don't need any credit for sharing the overflow section idea, it wasn't an original idea of mine, but is something that has totally next-level worked for me and I just had to share!!) I was (...on the down-low...) using my dishwasher as a pantry\space to store extra food before I did this to the kitchen, as well as extra food in an under-bed storage on wheels, and now its all in the kitchen in cupboards and pantries like it should be in a super organized and clarified system, SUCH a relief! I used to try cram everything into the one area, and now with doing the overflow system everything looks and feels (and is!) so much more organized and finally I know where things are, omg so much better than ever before!! Re: writing stuff down & to do lists - Have you heard of the dot journalling concept (also known as bullet journalling) ? Basically the concept is a journal + planner + schedule in one, and what you do is number each of the pages and put an index at the front. I started doing it for every day life stuff then it expanded to doing it for everything - one for cleaning, medicine, essential oils, events, travel, even one for each room of the house so I have tips and tricks for cleaning and whatever that room needs, like for instance the laundry book has what the symbols all mean and what works to get different stains out; I can write down any repairs or ideas for projects as well and because of the index in front its less easy to lose notes! You can also do it digitally if you want with a folder system and have a few to-do lists and other relevant templates printed out and ready to go in your folder for when you need to use them! I've also just made a lists book, which includes everything from lists of what to declutter to lists of pantry staples, freezer items, travel and packing lists, and more! Good on you Danielle! You're doing so great! We're super grateful for you!!!
Friend you are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you, I'm still getting back to comments (I'm really far behind on getting back to everybody because it has been pretty crazy the last 2 days 😂) but I see all of your comments and you are such a sweetie, I just appreciate all of the comments, all of the advice all of the ideas and suggestions, and I'm so super grateful that you're here with me. So BIG thank you 🥰 the overflow section and the supermarket idea are just brilliant, I had to do the overflow section and I absolutely have to do the supermarket organization on the kitchen I cannot wait, it's going to take a bit of planning but I think that this is really going to make a huge difference. And you are so super organized, you should have your own channel, you're brilliant at all of this. Never would have thought to use bullet journaling, I've actually never heard of this concept before, but it sounds amazing. I think having a journal planner and schedule all in one just makes life so much easier, I probably wouldn't do it digitally just because I'm more of a pen to paper type gal 🤣 but I really think this will help keep me on track. I never would have thought to do something like that, and I'm writing it down 😂 thank you again, I'm so HAPPY you're here with me 🥰
@@danniraearranged I'm thrilled for you! The bullet journalling thing has saved me, before that I had paper and notes literally everywhere & could never find them when I needed them, now though, I do a bujo for every major project & it keeps it all contained! lolol Thank you for saying that I'm super organized, it doesn't feel like I am alll of the time, but I've definitely made massive progress (like leaps and bounds!) the last few years that I've been more mindful about my space & where things should be + doing bujos! I don't like or do digital planners either, I get weird tech issues too so trusting a digital planner is dicey and no-go for me too, the notebook option gives you tangibility and flexibility, both things I thoroughly enjoy! You are absolutely welcome, I feel blessed to be able to share good advice that has helped me along the way especially when it helps 😃😍🥰 You're a joy to share this journey with, a ray of sunshine & I am so excited for you seeing these transformations you're working so hard on, Good luck with the electrician, we look forward to your next video Danni! Have an awesome day!! 💕💕💕💕
Funny thing I was listening/watching your video at work a lot of the tasks we do get boring so nice to have something to listen or watch. We lost power at work for 3 hours. I'm taking a week off plan on cleaning up house. Also, since I am going to be 42 I want to get rid of 42 + things I am at 35 things.
OMGoodnoess! YOU talk to YOU like I talk to ME!!! Finally.... someone who thinks the way I do!!! rofl You are doing sooooo awesome!! I am truly impressed AND inspired. With our heat...(which I don't handle very well) and brain that is willing, but body that isn't..... I am slowly forging forward on my quest to not only clean, but organize and let go of as much as I comfortably can in the moment. I keep telling myself I can always get rid of more.... baby steps. One nice thing my husband has been doing some of this along with me... separate areas, but still, it's inspiring and encouraging and sometimes.... we get confirmation from each other it's OK to let something GO!!! Keep on being terrific!!! You have a beautiful aura that shows forth.... we all have our low points... lol My poor mom couldn't wear any type of watch... it would literally DIE within days of getting a NEW one. We just have to realize our moments. In my house... I can't have two things plugged into an outlet and going at the same time... or we trip the breaker... so unplug the fan to use the microwave or air fryer... and it goes on and on. YOU ARE AN AWESOMELY, FUNNY and BEAUTIFUL PERSON... ❤❣
Yay! Another video! 🎉 You accomplished so much!! Yes, sometimes life can be a lot and we just need to take a deep breath, pray and take one day at a time. Gratitude is so important, you’re right! ❤ Nature therapy is the best! They say green is the most relaxing color. 💚 Thanks for sharing! You got rid of quite a bit! I just donated a bunch of things too. I always keep a box in the garage and once it’s full, I donate it. Have a blessed week! Love your new mug!
Wow! Your house looks fantastic at the end of the video. I hope your electrical problems are solved quickly. I'll be deep cleaning my kitchen tomorrow. 🙌
Make sure you update us about the electrical issues!! That’s crazy! I can’t believe you go so much done with those issues going on lol 😂 I would have 💯 been in bed watching Netflix annoyed at life 🤣🫣 I enjoy watching your videos because you are always so positive and real (even laying in bed like I don’t want to do this!) like allllll of us have laid in bed and been like “I don’t wanna” all of us 🤣🤣 I have crippling anxiety and even with meds I have pretty bad days. So I love watching your videos of positivity and real life it helps me feel seen and like other people are living my life as opposed to these crazy perfect homes on instagram etc. That’s so toxic for people to compare their home and lives too! So I appreciate you being here to keep it real ♥️
I fell on my knee last night cleaning my yard. Of course I fell on the knee that already needs a knee replacement! You’re blessed because you’re a blessing! 🥰 Great job again Danielle! I can’t wait to see what’s coming up. 😁 Take care sweetie!
Yowch! I hope you're okay! Arnica oil is good for bruising, there are some kitchen remedies for pain that might be of use to you if you don't have any effective pain relief on hand, vitamin c + collagen + gelatin are good for healing up a bit faster as well.... Healing blessings to you!!
Oh nooo, I hope your okay 🥺 thats awful. And even worse, it's on the knee you need a replacement on 😭 Sending you lots of luv right now. You always make my day Laury, thank you friend. Im so grateful you're here with me. You take care too, praying for a speedy recovery 🥰🥰
I just watched a video from Jodi Dunn My Messy Life and you two remind me so much of each other, especially watching your videos back to back. She was talking about gratitude in her video too, which I appreciate both of you doing. Thanks for the inspiration!
I agree, Dani - you are blessed, and it is nice to hear your gratitude. I can't wait to see your bedroom makeover. You and Ian deserve a nice space. Just an idea, have you thought about mounting your TV on the wall where your chair is? You could get a swivel arm which will allow you to move it to fit in the space. This way you can get a tall dresser and put it in your closet, but you would still have space for hanging and folded clothes as well as shoes. You could also put some sort of small storage on the wall your door opens up to. Just some ideas.
Dani, I have the Hoover Pro Clean Pet Carpet Cleaner, and I love it! I am one who has so much trouble with finding a carpet cleaner that doesn't break after a few months, and this one has outlasted any other. I have 2 very messy boys, a husband in construction. We are always in and out of the house, enjoying our land, and we have 3 dogs that do the same. So, I am very hard on them! Lol It is also cheaper than some of the other ones I have had, but still cleans better. Even the upholstery attachment!❤❤❤
I've never heard anyone say thermostat the way you did lol I love how you say bags and I've heard that before but never ther-mom-astat 😂 you are a hoot girl! You got alot done. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you get everything fixed soon especially your air!
Yes Danni, Gratitude IS the highest form of Prayer 🙏 I enjoy listening to you chat away and music is pleasant as well. Side note: keeping the bathroom exhaust on for approx. 30 mins after showering and pulling the curtain out, will allow it to dry without stains. (I don't use plastic inner curtain for over 12 years) I do launder the shower curtain once a month. Thank you for sharing your decluttering/cleaning/organizational content. x
Love your videos ❤ love the long talking ones too! Also for a furniture carpet cleaner… I’ve had both the bissell pet pro portables in the green and blue colors. Have the blue and it’s a step up. Can’t live without one of these! Recommend 😊
Yes, a new U Betcha mug! I Love it. So sorry things are breaking down in your home right now, Danni. I want to reassure you that these things definitely don’t just happen to you (I am speaking from personal experience here). Please believe me when I say, I know how difficult it is to be motivated when one thing after another goes wrong, but hang on in there as everything has a solution and will get fixed or be better eventually. Btw I love what you said about practicing gratitude everyday. You are such a lovely person, and you are definitely not the reason these things are happening. How can you be when you have such a positive happy aura! Plus, you work so hard and make your house look so beautiful.
You are so dang SWEET!!! Cannot tell you enough how much this means to me. You always brighten up my day Beth! Thank you! And good news the electrician came out today and it has nothing to do with my electrical, apparently my electrical is just fine and completely safe, bad news is he said it's my meter, so apparently half of my meter is working LOL he said it in a more technical way, but basically I'm not getting enough energy from the meter. So I had to have my energy company come out today and they put something temporary for right now so my house is working fine, but they may have to rip my entire deck out to get to the lines that are underground. I'll explain more in the next video I'll also show pictures of what I'm talking about because I can't explain it 🤣🤣🤣 so I look at this as a positive because it's better than having to spend five to eight grand getting a new panel, I thought for sure I was going to have to get a new electric box, the most important thing is the house is safe. And thank you for making me feel so much better, it truly does make me feel better to know that I'm not the only one, I'm not alone in this. Thanks for always being here with me friend 🥰😘
@@danniraearranged I am so impressed that you are looking on the positive side of all these problems. It must be so frustrating to know they may have to rip out your entire deck, but thank goodness you, your family and your house are safe. At least you have an answer as to what the problem is now and that there is a way to fix it. I was so worried it might be a far bigger issue with your whole house electrical wiring and electrical panel box. Stay safe all of you and take care. 🤗
Hi Danni great video everything looked so nice,I hope your electricity in your house got fixed they say when it rains it pours we too have a few things that need fixing. I hope you have a great week ❤
Hi Dani. To clean pillows and such I ordered a large netted laundry bag. You put your pillows or other delicates in the bag in the washer on light or gentle cycle. It works better and easier than the bath tub.Oh and ps baking soda is not good for vacuums it clogs the works. I googled that so it's true lol. Yeah but really it can't be good.Despite many online guides recommending baking soda for cleaning carpets, there are dangers to using this homemade cleaning product. Baking soda can clog your vacuum's filters when it's vacuumed up from the carpet. Even worse, if your vacuum's filters have a leak, then the baking soda particles could ruin the motor.Mar 4, 2022
Dishwasher detergent is the “Superwoman” of cleaners. It removes burned-on gunk off off oven racks/&grill racks if you soak them in a bathtub with hot water & a pod or two.
The mug conversation is gold! I literally had the same conversation over socks and one pair had holes 😂. Why is it we get soooo sentimental?!?! Thank you so much for sharing your real life.
🤣🤣🤣 right! Lol it's hard not to get attached ha! There's just somethings that are hard to part with. I'm 🤣 over the sock with the hole, I still have my mug, although I probably should part with it. But it was my first you betcha mug. 😂 Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
That same electrical issue happened to us 2 years ago. We had to have our panel replaced. The incoming line from the electric service was fried, and in turn was burning inside my panel and causing the breakers to burn out. Be careful. That can cause a major fire.
Thise brown outs(half power) with burn out appliance moters. Probably what happened to the fridge and dishwasher. Unfortunately , nothing was visible until they took off the main box cover. Wish i could share a picture of it with you.
I just wanted to tell you so badly to just go. to. the.tub! Maybe close the shower curtain and be sure to take a flashlight! HaHa! Wow thats scary whats going on with the electrical! Super enjoyed the long video as always and the house looks fabulous! Cant wait for the next one! Love you Danielle ❤️😊
Danni, love your facial expressions! Love the rambling, it's like we're having coffee and yakking. I just had hand surg, this am, and of course I get motivated to do some shit today! One handed! But not dishes for a week, cuz can't get wet! Haha!
Your kids are learning a valuable life skill by decluttering their stuff. The more they use it, the better they get. My house is almost 20 years old, not too bad. But it went through a phase where everything was needing replaced. AC, fridge, water heater… I’ve replaced every appliance except my oven over the course of two years. I’m replacing the floors now (from builder grade carpet) and then I have a light fixture that doesn’t work that I have to replace, a porcelain TP holder that is embedded in the wall that got broken. Oh, and a crack in a seam in my drywall. I feel your pain, girl! As far as a shampooer, whatever one you get , make sure you can easily clean the dirty water tank. I got one that works great, except I can’t get my hand into the dirty water tank to clean it and the residue builds and it gets dirty to the point that it needs more than a rinse. Mine is Bissel brand and it works great as far as cleaning power goes.
Thanks for your open and honest real videos. I have felt this same way about some sort of negative “something” either out to get me or just flat out forgot about me…. Feels like it’s always me and my stuff falling apart! Helps to remember it’s just life lol. Just keep hanging on and getting through the list- 😂LOL to the intro song hahahaha. Always loved your intro
I've been looking for pumice stones lately! I had a stain on my tub from an ayurvedic remedy (long embarrassing story I won't get into..) but the method I read up on was to actually use bicarb and vinegar into a paste and then put a towel or cloth over the stain to lift the stain\s out of the tub.. Seems to have worked quite well, but might need to do it one more time just to get the last bit out. Other tub cleaning options include: Lemon + salt, dishwashing tablet (or pod), 2:1 bicarb soda + hydrogen peroxide, vinegar + dish soap (and let sit), or plain ol' bleach! ^_^
Goodness, you have had a time with things. Sounds like them working on those outside outlets did a number on your house. How you are living without AC is beyond me. That's a life and death situation around here. In spite of that, look how much you got done! Long live the You Betcha mug! Look at that sweet puppy on the couch. I just want to give Mia all the pets and belly rubs and treats. If you ever do merch, I can see you making a "beg of stuff" bag.
It's been.. it's been 🤣 it's been chaotic lol yeah I have no idea what happened, it seemed like the last electrician that was out here a couple weeks ago seem to fix the issues, but then apparently didn't because now I'm having bigger issues LOL of course. I have an electrician coming out here tomorrow, and I hope we can get the situation figured out. I can handle fixing appliances or getting all new tires stuff like that but when it comes to the electric that freaks me out. It's been awful without AC, but true story I drove all the way to the cabin today to pick up this portable AC unit that's up there, Tom my father-in-law bought it I think last year and he said that we could borrow it, such a sweet man because it's made a huge difference. Mia is the sweetest fur baby ever, we'll both my fur babies are. They are definitely the queens of the house lol. We love to spoil them 🥰 omg "beg of stuff" 😂🤣 I wrote that down LMBO Hilarious! Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
Sounds like the wiring is screwed up! You might need a new electrical box. Oh, how I love watching your videos! I don’t blame you for going nuts!😂 I remember when we tried to use our electric coffee pot that sometimes the power would shut down. After having someone check it, someone had it wired wrong. I know what you’re going through. Hope they get it straightened out soon. Sometimes you just have to sit down and laugh at it! 😂😂😂 Girl, you can do it! I know you can! Hugs! Your friend from Michigan!🥰👍💜
I couldn't agree with you more, sometimes you just got laugh, because if I didn't I would cry 🤣 I just keep telling myself it's going to be fine it's going to be fine. We have an electrician coming out here I think within the hour, he wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow but he had a cancellation today and I took it. Electrical freaks me out. I hope he can figure it out but I have a feeling like we're going to need a new box? I hope not but that's my gut. Thanks for always brightening up my day, appreciate you so much friend. Hugs back 🥰😘
A video posted for my birthday. Lol. Happy Christmas in July. 🎄I’m sorry but when you said thermostat I about spit out my drink. That was funny. Thanks again for the laughs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁🎂🥳 hope you have the best birthday ever. I subconsciously knew it was your bday, so of course I had to post a video 🤣 seriously Im such a dork, right after I called it a ther-mom-astate 😆 I had to pause for a second and think about that LMBO I was like that don't sound right, I really have to stop making up words, I just seriously go with it. 🤣 Thank you for always being here with me friend. Hugs 🥰
Great video! I had a great day cleaning yesterday. But, today. I feel like a giant rock with a head. My body don't wanna move at all. And, my head is in over drive. I took the hose off the back of my washing machine. To clean the grit out of it. So, the cold water will run faster. Well now i can't get the hose to stop leaking when i put it back on. 😂 i put plumbers tape on it and still leaks. So i quit!
It sounds like you invested a lot of energy into your cleaning mission! Good on you!! Perhaps did maybe one of the seals get moved or drop down when you were cleaning the hoses? Leaking is very frustrating! I feel for you! I hope the leak gets fixed for you soon!!
I had that happen to the power at my old house. Come to find out the line that connects to the house was half off and had to have the utility company to come and fix it. Only half my house had power and had to use extension cords for everything else.
I've seen you in that Central Perk tshirt many times but just now feel compelled to say that I have it too lol the one I got is sleeveless but I kinda wish it did have sleeves like yours. As for the word, you were just using thermometer and thermostat together lol they both deal with temperature so it makes sense lol. Sorry about the electrical issues. Only one outlet in my kitchen works (crappy apartment so they're probably never going to fix it) so all my small appliances are plugged into a power strip which I hate doing but oh well lol. Murphy's Law does hit hard sometimes right? But yeah we gotta take it in stride. Great job on the house as always!
Do you clean the filters in your appliances? You should be cleaning the filters in your dishwasher, washer, dryer, vacuum, ac, gas heater regularly. A lot of people will have their ac and gas heater serviced about once a year to upkeep it and make sure it's running efficiently and safely. You can always watch videos and do it yourself, but to get them serviced once a year is like $90. You are supposed to change your air filters like 4 times a year etc. When everything is clean, the engine will last longer. If you clean the coils on the fridge, your fridge will perform better etc. Obviously, the current issue is some bigger electrical issue. In the future, don't buy things that don't need electrical components. the settings should all be manual buttons, you don't need any fancy screens, settings, or beeping. you don't need electrical stoves etc. you don't need dishwashers with electrical sensors that can tell when the door is closed, just get a dishwasher with a latch. the less screens on your appliances, the longer they will last. Get basic, good brands.
We do change our air filters, I'd say about four times a year, I think Ian does that every 3 to 4 months, we do have our AC and gas heater serviced, we have our gas heater serviced once a year, but I will say that the AC doesn't get serviced as frequently as the gas heater, so that's something that we should really be paying more attention to. I will admit Ian does most of this stuff, but I really should know how to do a lot of this stuff. We just got a new fridge and dishwasher, and I'll admit with our last dishwasher we did not clean the filter because it was so old we had no idea how to even get to the filter, so it's really nice that we have a new one cuz I know exactly how to get to the filter with that one, so I have to get into the habit of really keeping that clean. I also wrote down what you said about the electrical components, I wouldn't have even thought about something like that, so that's really good to know, especially for any future purchases. Just stick with the good basic brands! 💯 I really really appreciate you sharing this with me, these are things that I really should know more about. And thank you so much for watching and being here, I appreciate ya so much 🥰
🤣 oh jeez lol it's been one thing after the next, I can handle having to get new tires or new appliances, but electric freaks me out. I have an electrician coming in tomorrow he wasn't supposed to be here until Thursday but he got to cancellation for tomorrow and called to see if I wanted an earlier appointment, I was like yes absolutely please get here 😂 always so happy to see you here with me! Hugs 🥰😘
I have a theory, maybe that's something you've already known. You hate your kitchen therefore you do not like being there and you just threw everything in piles so you hate it even more and the circle goes round and round, all of your other places are usually picked up because you make huge efforts to feel there at home, but there is no heart for this kitchen whatsoever, I think that until you'll make huge makeover to it it will haunt you... Just keep telling yourself it's for now and step by step you'll get there when time and money will be right That's something I always feel about certain spaces at my house until I won't change it to the way I actually enjoy it
Omg my mind is 🤯 you are 1000% SPOT ON! I seriously didn't even realize it until you just commented this, that is why, and I never really saw it. The rest of my house is usually picked up, I mean of course there's times when the whole house is flipped upside down but not as frequently as the kitchen. The kitchen is always a disaster. And I think you're absolutely right, I think until I do a makeover on the kitchen, as well as make it functional, I feel like it's just an area that I really dislike and it just keeps becoming a disaster. You're so spot on on this. Hope you're doing well dear! Always look forward to your comments and am so happy you're here with me. Lots of luv 🥰
Hey lady!!!! I was just thinking about ya when I got the notification that you posted!!! Yeah!!!! Wow it was jam packed. I hope you were able to figure out what was going on with the electricity. Seeing the light go on and off when you flipped on the garbage disposal was unreal. Crazy stuff. I'm excited to see how you make another command center. My husband and I just got through doing a mini makeover on our gameroom area. The video will be public August 28th. It's two parts. I talked to another UA-camr, I can't believe I'm actually saying UA-camr now, it's so surreal,lol. Anyway I talked with another UA-camr and I had told her I was having a hard time at first posting my videos because the editing app I was using it wouldn't export. She suggested that I upload my videos on a monthly schedule to make sure I don't have tech issues, do I'm doing that. It's weird being a UA-camr now. But thank you so much for all your support and chats you did with me on IG(which I miss you on). It's helped me so much. Look forward to your next video of your daughters room makeover!!!!
Oh my gosh lady, This electricity has me on pins and needles, I can handle fixing appliances / broken appliances I can deal with getting new tires but electric freaks me out. I actually have an electrician coming any minute now he should be here soon, he was scheduled to come out tomorrow but he had a cancellation today and asked me if I wanted to bump up my appointment, I swear I couldn't respond to him fast enough... I was like yes please, please. I have this gut feeling that I'm going to have to get a new box or another box, like a smaller one underneath the main box. Although I have no idea what I'm talking about 😜 I absolutely love your house, it's huge, you did such an amazing job with decorating it too, I'm excited to see how you decorate for fall, Halloween and Christmas. I bet the game room is amazing. One of the main reasons why I have a difficult time exporting my videos, when I do have issues exporting, is I think my internet connection. So I have to make sure that I have a strong connection I've even had to contact my internet company to see what's going on cuz there's been times where I either can't upload or it's literally taking hours and hours and hours to upload. I still don't understand why considering that we have literally the fastest speed internet possible, but then again it is me. But yes regular uploading is a great idea. You're a UA-camr now 🥳🥳🥳 I'm so excited for you. Love and appreciate you so much friend. Hugs 🥰😘
@@danniraearranged I definitely decorate for fall. I don't do Halloween. As far as Christmas, I love decorating for it, but we keep it very simple. We have two trees we put up. One by the stairs and one in the gameroom on the bay window area. I need to paint the ceiling part in the bay window area. Probably this weekend or this week for sure. Hope you get the electricity figured out.
I'm the queen of excuses... Especially when it comes to paperwork, the kitchen and creating that dang schedule ha! You and I we get each other lol 🤣...🥰
My husband calls it house karma .. you fix one thing and another thing breaks .. we cleaned out the gutters and later on the AC quit working .. house karma
I don't know if the power issue is fixed already but my friend had the same thing happen and it turned out to be a problem on the power company's end. They came out and fixed it in a few minutes.
Oh my gosh, that is so crazy that you said that, I had an electrician come out yesterday, the electrician said there is nothing wrong with my electric, the house is safe the electrical is good, so basically I spent close to $400 for him to tell me that it's my power company / meter. So it's really complicated for me to say, but in the next video I'm going to talk about it and show exactly what I'm talking about, they have like a temporary box or something in front of my meter right now. But this has been going on for a very long time and here to come find out it was my meter. So what happened to your friend is exactly what happened to us. I will say that I am very relieved that it's not the electrical. Electrical freaks me out I was literally on pins and needles. Thank you so much for commenting, always so happy to see you here with me. 🥰
@@danniraearranged oh no! I hate you had to spend so much money. I wish I'd been able to tell you before! Electrical stuff freaks me out, too. I'm glad the house is safe! Love your videos so much. I wish we lived in the same area bc we would so be friends ♥
Yes 💯. I actually have an electrician coming out tomorrow, he wasn't supposed to be here until Thursday but he had a cancellation for tomorrow and asked if I wanted to move up my appointment, I couldn't respond yes fast enough. I'm so happy he's coming out tomorrow. I can handle appliances, getting new tires things like that but electrical freaks me out.
I Laughed so hard at zoey’s comment ‘our house is falling apart’ my husband looks up from his phone with his eyebrows up to his hairline! She is your daughter, Danni 😂
I love this video and you 😂 “I don’t think my aura is poop brown” and the laying in bed I can relate to that. You’re doing great ! Keep the chatty videos and I like the 80s style music but yeah maybe without the lyrics
Oh Danni… you are a hoot girl! You make me laugh because you’re so funny. I am certainly no electrician, but it sounds like some wires or whatever are loose., But just for the heck of it, I’m going to send you some holy water. 💦!!! 😇
You are so dang sweet 😘 thank you! Ya it's been a chaotic hotmess over here, thank goodness I have an electrician coming today, he'll be here within the next couple hours, I'm crossing my fingers he can solve the problem. Holy water...yes please lol you're a love, thanks for watching and being here with me. Hugs 🥰
I have been begging my brother and my dad to get in on the videos, especially Ryan considering... you know.. we have a whole "ask Ryan" thing going on now 😆 my dad and my brother are even more camera shy than my mom and my husband, I guess I'm the odd one in the family 😂 I'll never stop trying, I hope one day he decides to get into one of the decluttering videos, that would be so fun. I think he will one day!
I had no idea! That is really interesting! Ever since I can remember I've always had issues with cars, appliances, computers, phones, TVs I mean you name it I've had issues 😆 my husband is always on pins and needles, poor guy. Lol always so happy to see you here with me dear. Hugs 🥰
Amazon has curtains that go on the French foot. They attach with Velcro and you can pull them up like curtains. The tabs hold them. I have them. They work great. Privacy for Zoey room and a beautiful touch for a girl room. 1:04:45
Thank you so much, we've been using a sheet to cover the doors lol we had curtains but they weren't the best they kept falling. I'm making over her room so I'll head over to Amazon and pick those up. Yay! And thank you for always being here with me dear. Hugs 🥰
Isn’t it always a cascade of things with home repairs? We just spent a lot of money repairing a crack in our foundation, had some electrical work done, and splurged a bit on new carpet for the bedrooms, and immediately the dining room light broke in such a way that we will need a professional to fix it. So, for now we’re eating by the light of the kitchen because we don’t want to dip into our emergency fund. I’m sure the moment we fix the light something else will go. 😅😅
Also, thank you for the long video! I feel like I’m chatting with a friend and I get a lot done during the videos…with the nice long one today I got soooo much done!
I wrote this down so I could show the electrician. I have an electrician coming out tomorrow, he wasn't supposed to come until Thursday but he had a cancellation for tomorrow and asked if I wanted him to come sooner, I was like yes absolutely please. I can handle getting new tires or dealing with appliances stuff like that, but electrical scares me, that freaks me out. Really appreciate you sharing this with me. Thank you 🥰
I really hope you enjoy today's video, its jam-packed with motivation! but I also lose the motivation...but then regain it 🤣and of course things continue to break, we get into all of that in todays video! I wanted to mention a couple things, this video is SUPER chatty, I'd say 99% of the video is chatting, but its a fun time HA! Its also super long & I forgot to mention a couple things, #1 when we're in the 4 season working on the toy cabinet, theres a white rubber bucket I hold up, all those items were decluttered #2 theres a sheet on the kitchen window, not sure why i felt the need to mention it, but I do 🤣 I need new curtains. Luv & appreciate ya so much! XOXO
This is what I came across on the web before I did my overflow sections :
"Designate a "backstock" area so that high-traffic areas can stay neat and clutter-free. Especially if you have a busy household or do a lot of Costco shopping, you should definitely find a space in the home to use as a backstock area. It can be way up high on the top shelf of your pantry, in a cabinet in the garage, or in the linen closet. Creating a system is easy if you can keep the limits on the amount of stuff you own or have a separate space for the overflow. " (Source - Buzzfeed)
Designate Spaces for Backstock --------
One of the tenets of The Home Edit is “backstock,” or useful extra stuff you store at home, like toothpaste, pantry goods, and of course, toilet paper. If there’s one thing 2020 taught us, it’s that having those essentials on hand is way better than vying for them in a sold-out grocery store during times of emergency.
The Home Edit is about being organized, not minimalist. So, having a logical backstock system is a core part of the method. While we hope to see no more toilet paper shortages in the near future, now’s a good time to organize your home, create spaces for backstock, and always be prepared. (Source - lifesavvy.com)
------------
“Backstock” refers to any surplus of products - like cleaning supplies, pantry items, beauty supplies, etc. - that are purchased as a backup for when you run out. It’s important to create a space for these items, whether in a cabinet, drawer, or even a separate shelving unit in a garage or storage room.
Doing this helps you a) easily find your backstock items and b) keep track of what and when you need to repurchase.
We often designate bins for backstock in pantries, much like Clea and Joanna’s team do for Jordana Brewster in Episode 7. It’s important to make sure backstock spaces are clearly labeled so you know to check them first for replacement items!
(Source - moxiespace.com) --------------
Lovers of Costco and the Buy One, Get One sale, rejoice. The Home Edit has a solution for storing multiples and extras products! In a store, backstock is leftover stock. In your home, backstock is the backup item hanging around the shelf. Maybe you have a spare bottle or two of your favorite shampoo in the bathroom, extra laundry detergent, or multiple boxes of pasta in the pantry.
According to The Home Edit Instagram, you can maximize your space by storing backstock above and below in a room. This tip means using the ground or a top-shelf that is too tall to hold things that you don't need to access daily. The main goal of storing backstock is to keep your high-traffic spaces clutter-free. Creating a designated area for backstock will make you aware of what you have so you don't overbuy, even if you can't pass up a good sale. (Source - housedigest.com)
Hope this helps! Can't wait for your next videos!!
I love your talking. Talking to us. Talking to yourself. Talking to the wall. It's all good. I often watch UA-cam while I'm doing other things so I like that you talk because you're narrating what you're doing but you're also providing your own thoughts, inspiration, commentary. So I don't have to stare at a screen the whole time and can work along with you.
I love the long, chatty videos!!! I got my supper cooked and I exercised with you. So, thankyou!!! More of these extra long ones, please!!! ❤️
I laughed so hard when you hit your wall “I don’t wanna to”
I also prefer listening to you talking instead of music. I also don’t mind long videos. You’re the best 💖
OMG Danni I've just finished watching your latest video and what a transformation! Your home finished up looking like it was 'show house' worthy by the end. I hope you sat down with a cuppa and appreciated all your hard work - So motivating ❤
You are so dang sweet dear! Thank you, I can't tell you enough how much that means to me! I try to enjoy it, but I usually can't sit still long enough to really enjoy it 😆 I'm so glad it was motivating. Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
Hi dear Danni it is always a joy to see you are there again I love "you being you" and wanting to share your heart with us and to encourage and uplift us -it is working - Thank you for being so sincere and for putting a smile on my face Keep going love and blessings from a 65 year old Dutch Grandma who lives in the UK 💐
Ok you are seriously pulling at my heartstrings here, I cannot tell you enough how much that means to me, I appreciate this comment and you so, so much! Thank you! Love and blessings to you and yours from MN. 🥰🥰😘
Definitely prefer the talking over the music. That’s why you’re my favorite!
The house looked so pretty and relaxing once you were done! Good job!
Aw thank you! Yes it always feels so, so much better when the house is completely picked up and tidy. Clears my head too lol. Appreciate ya so much dear! 🥰😘
I ❤❤❤ the talking! I treat your videos (almost) like a podcast to keep me company while doing things
I love when you talk.That is what first drew me to your channel.I just enjoy your videos so much.❤😊
Hi Danni! Robin found the Costco! Oh oh. This is the fourth or fifth time watching this video. It is awesome! 💜💜💜
DANNI: does that mean I have to get rid of this one?
US ALL: U BETCHA (even the mug agrees) ❤😊
🤣🤣🤣
I love your longer videos. You are so real and genuine. Looking forward to your next video. Good luck with your electrical issues. Your house looks great. Thank you for sharing with us, Danni.
You are so sweet! Seriously cannot tell you enough how much that means to me! I appreciate ya so much dear! And another thank you, I need all the luck I can get, I have an electrician coming out here tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers he can fix this, electrical freaks me out! Lots of luv 🥰🥰
Girl you are only breaking hoardering traditions and cycles . You are repairing future generations relationship to stuff and helping us tooooo! Plus the elevator music is always “betcha” ing
"betcha" ing 😂🤣🤣 hilarious! You are so dang sweet, thank you! It's crazy because before I started my journey to minimalism I didn't even realize that I was in a...how do I wanna say this... Generational pattern, is that a correct way to say that? (You said it better lol " hoarding traditions and cycles"... 💯) It wasn't until I started minimalism and I realized that I was following in my grandmother's footsteps and my mother's footsteps, and now I see my daughter and my son randomly decluttering and getting rid of stuff or better yet making better decisions on what they want to bring in the home. It's amazing! 🥰
Yaaassssss the overflow section!!!!!! Yay!!! I love you!!!! 😃😃😃Champion!!! 😃😃 Yes designing it like a supermarket!!!! Oh, I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Yes you're right it's part of The Home Edit's organizational system.. it's totally changed my life - (I also totally don't need any credit for sharing the overflow section idea, it wasn't an original idea of mine, but is something that has totally next-level worked for me and I just had to share!!)
I was (...on the down-low...) using my dishwasher as a pantry\space to store extra food before I did this to the kitchen, as well as extra food in an under-bed storage on wheels, and now its all in the kitchen in cupboards and pantries like it should be in a super organized and clarified system, SUCH a relief!
I used to try cram everything into the one area, and now with doing the overflow system everything looks and feels (and is!) so much more organized and finally I know where things are, omg so much better than ever before!!
Re: writing stuff down & to do lists - Have you heard of the dot journalling concept (also known as bullet journalling) ? Basically the concept is a journal + planner + schedule in one, and what you do is number each of the pages and put an index at the front.
I started doing it for every day life stuff then it expanded to doing it for everything - one for cleaning, medicine, essential oils, events, travel, even one for each room of the house so I have tips and tricks for cleaning and whatever that room needs, like for instance the laundry book has what the symbols all mean and what works to get different stains out; I can write down any repairs or ideas for projects as well and because of the index in front its less easy to lose notes!
You can also do it digitally if you want with a folder system and have a few to-do lists and other relevant templates printed out and ready to go in your folder for when you need to use them!
I've also just made a lists book, which includes everything from lists of what to declutter to lists of pantry staples, freezer items, travel and packing lists, and more! Good on you Danielle! You're doing so great! We're super grateful for you!!!
Friend you are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you, I'm still getting back to comments (I'm really far behind on getting back to everybody because it has been pretty crazy the last 2 days 😂) but I see all of your comments and you are such a sweetie, I just appreciate all of the comments, all of the advice all of the ideas and suggestions, and I'm so super grateful that you're here with me. So BIG thank you 🥰 the overflow section and the supermarket idea are just brilliant, I had to do the overflow section and I absolutely have to do the supermarket organization on the kitchen I cannot wait, it's going to take a bit of planning but I think that this is really going to make a huge difference. And you are so super organized, you should have your own channel, you're brilliant at all of this. Never would have thought to use bullet journaling, I've actually never heard of this concept before, but it sounds amazing. I think having a journal planner and schedule all in one just makes life so much easier, I probably wouldn't do it digitally just because I'm more of a pen to paper type gal 🤣 but I really think this will help keep me on track. I never would have thought to do something like that, and I'm writing it down 😂 thank you again, I'm so HAPPY you're here with me 🥰
@@danniraearranged I'm thrilled for you! The bullet journalling thing has saved me, before that I had paper and notes literally everywhere & could never find them when I needed them, now though, I do a bujo for every major project & it keeps it all contained! lolol Thank you for saying that I'm super organized, it doesn't feel like I am alll of the time, but I've definitely made massive progress (like leaps and bounds!) the last few years that I've been more mindful about my space & where things should be + doing bujos! I don't like or do digital planners either, I get weird tech issues too so trusting a digital planner is dicey and no-go for me too, the notebook option gives you tangibility and flexibility, both things I thoroughly enjoy! You are absolutely welcome, I feel blessed to be able to share good advice that has helped me along the way especially when it helps 😃😍🥰 You're a joy to share this journey with, a ray of sunshine & I am so excited for you seeing these transformations you're working so hard on, Good luck with the electrician, we look forward to your next video Danni!
Have an awesome day!! 💕💕💕💕
excellent cleaning music ! xx grumpy granma uk. xx
Funny thing I was listening/watching your video at work a lot of the tasks we do get boring so nice to have something to listen or watch. We lost power at work for 3 hours. I'm taking a week off plan on cleaning up house. Also, since I am going to be 42 I want to get rid of 42 + things I am at 35 things.
OMGoodnoess! YOU talk to YOU like I talk to ME!!! Finally.... someone who thinks the way I do!!! rofl You are doing sooooo awesome!! I am truly impressed AND inspired. With our heat...(which I don't handle very well) and brain that is willing, but body that isn't..... I am slowly forging forward on my quest to not only clean, but organize and let go of as much as I comfortably can in the moment. I keep telling myself I can always get rid of more.... baby steps. One nice thing my husband has been doing some of this along with me... separate areas, but still, it's inspiring and encouraging and sometimes.... we get confirmation from each other it's OK to let something GO!!! Keep on being terrific!!! You have a beautiful aura that shows forth.... we all have our low points... lol My poor mom couldn't wear any type of watch... it would literally DIE within days of getting a NEW one. We just have to realize our moments. In my house... I can't have two things plugged into an outlet and going at the same time... or we trip the breaker... so unplug the fan to use the microwave or air fryer... and it goes on and on. YOU ARE AN AWESOMELY, FUNNY and BEAUTIFUL PERSON... ❤❣
Yay! Another video! 🎉 You accomplished so much!! Yes, sometimes life can be a lot and we just need to take a deep breath, pray and take one day at a time. Gratitude is so important, you’re right! ❤ Nature therapy is the best! They say green is the most relaxing color. 💚 Thanks for sharing! You got rid of quite a bit! I just donated a bunch of things too. I always keep a box in the garage and once it’s full, I donate it. Have a blessed week! Love your new mug!
❤ love your chats. Hugs from Ireland
Luv and appreciate ya so much dear. Thanks for watching and being here with me. Hugs back from MN 🥰😘
Wow! Your house looks fantastic at the end of the video. I hope your electrical problems are solved quickly. I'll be deep cleaning my kitchen tomorrow. 🙌
The song makes more sense with the lyrics. Without them, it’s very 80’s movie montage - like kids are practicing to win the camp tournament. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I am rambling... But,your voice is calm and kind!! Don't worry about talking!😊
I love that song even more with the singing. what a bop! haha
Make sure you update us about the electrical issues!! That’s crazy! I can’t believe you go so much done with those issues going on lol 😂 I would have 💯 been in bed watching Netflix annoyed at life 🤣🫣
I enjoy watching your videos because you are always so positive and real (even laying in bed like I don’t want to do this!) like allllll of us have laid in bed and been like “I don’t wanna” all of us 🤣🤣 I have crippling anxiety and even with meds I have pretty bad days. So I love watching your videos of positivity and real life it helps me feel seen and like other people are living my life as opposed to these crazy perfect homes on instagram etc. That’s so toxic for people to compare their home and lives too! So I appreciate you being here to keep it real ♥️
I fell on my knee last night cleaning my yard. Of course I fell on the knee that already needs a knee replacement!
You’re blessed because you’re a blessing! 🥰
Great job again Danielle! I can’t wait to see what’s coming up. 😁 Take care sweetie!
Yowch! I hope you're okay! Arnica oil is good for bruising, there are some kitchen remedies for pain that might be of use to you if you don't have any effective pain relief on hand, vitamin c + collagen + gelatin are good for healing up a bit faster as well.... Healing blessings to you!!
@@igitha..._
Thank you!
Oh nooo, I hope your okay 🥺 thats awful. And even worse, it's on the knee you need a replacement on 😭 Sending you lots of luv right now.
You always make my day Laury, thank you friend. Im so grateful you're here with me. You take care too, praying for a speedy recovery 🥰🥰
@@danniraearranged
Thank you sweetie!
😘😍🥰
I just watched a video from Jodi Dunn My Messy Life and you two remind me so much of each other, especially watching your videos back to back. She was talking about gratitude in her video too, which I appreciate both of you doing. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love Jodi also
I agree, Dani - you are blessed, and it is nice to hear your gratitude. I can't wait to see your bedroom makeover. You and Ian deserve a nice space. Just an idea, have you thought about mounting your TV on the wall where your chair is? You could get a swivel arm which will allow you to move it to fit in the space. This way you can get a tall dresser and put it in your closet, but you would still have space for hanging and folded clothes as well as shoes. You could also put some sort of small storage on the wall your door opens up to. Just some ideas.
Dani, I have the Hoover Pro Clean Pet Carpet Cleaner, and I love it! I am one who has so much trouble with finding a carpet cleaner that doesn't break after a few months, and this one has outlasted any other. I have 2 very messy boys, a husband in construction. We are always in and out of the house, enjoying our land, and we have 3 dogs that do the same. So, I am very hard on them! Lol It is also cheaper than some of the other ones I have had, but still cleans better. Even the upholstery attachment!❤❤❤
I've never heard anyone say thermostat the way you did lol I love how you say bags and I've heard that before but never ther-mom-astat 😂 you are a hoot girl! You got alot done. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you get everything fixed soon especially your air!
🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful job sweet friend 🥰
Luv and appreciate you so much friend 😘
Yes Danni, Gratitude IS the highest form of Prayer 🙏
I enjoy listening to you chat away and music is pleasant as well.
Side note: keeping the bathroom exhaust on for approx. 30 mins after showering and pulling the curtain out, will allow it to dry without stains. (I don't use plastic inner curtain for over 12 years) I do launder the shower curtain once a month.
Thank you for sharing your decluttering/cleaning/organizational content. x
Meant shower curtain liner. 🤭
Love your videos ❤ love the long talking ones too! Also for a furniture carpet cleaner… I’ve had both the bissell pet pro portables in the green and blue colors. Have the blue and it’s a step up. Can’t live without one of these! Recommend 😊
I got a catalog in the mail today and there were quite a few seasonal hand towels in there. It made me think of your mom. Hope she's doing well. ❤😊🐦
Ahhhhhhhh! I’m so excited 🎉yaaaaaaas
🥳 YAY! I really hope you like the video... The super long and extra chatty video 🤣 always so happy to see you here with me 🥰
Oh yeah! I needed a video of yours to watch!!
This made my week! Thank you! Always so happy to see you here with me 🥰😘
Literally could be me on the bed not doing normal…… nope not trying it😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 you and I...we get each other lol. Ah normal is boring anyway...well at least I think so, I've never tried it before LMBO 😂
Yes, a new U Betcha mug! I Love it.
So sorry things are breaking down in your home right now, Danni. I want to reassure you that these things definitely don’t just happen to you (I am speaking from personal experience here). Please believe me when I say, I know how difficult it is to be motivated when one thing after another goes wrong, but hang on in there as everything has a solution and will get fixed or be better eventually. Btw I love what you said about practicing gratitude everyday. You are such a lovely person, and you are definitely not the reason these things are happening. How can you be when you have such a positive happy aura! Plus, you work so hard and make your house look so beautiful.
You are so dang SWEET!!! Cannot tell you enough how much this means to me. You always brighten up my day Beth! Thank you! And good news the electrician came out today and it has nothing to do with my electrical, apparently my electrical is just fine and completely safe, bad news is he said it's my meter, so apparently half of my meter is working LOL he said it in a more technical way, but basically I'm not getting enough energy from the meter. So I had to have my energy company come out today and they put something temporary for right now so my house is working fine, but they may have to rip my entire deck out to get to the lines that are underground. I'll explain more in the next video I'll also show pictures of what I'm talking about because I can't explain it 🤣🤣🤣 so I look at this as a positive because it's better than having to spend five to eight grand getting a new panel, I thought for sure I was going to have to get a new electric box, the most important thing is the house is safe. And thank you for making me feel so much better, it truly does make me feel better to know that I'm not the only one, I'm not alone in this. Thanks for always being here with me friend 🥰😘
@@danniraearranged I am so impressed that you are looking on the positive side of all these problems. It must be so frustrating to know they may have to rip out your entire deck, but thank goodness you, your family and your house are safe. At least you have an answer as to what the problem is now and that there is a way to fix it. I was so worried it might be a far bigger issue with your whole house electrical wiring and electrical panel box. Stay safe all of you and take care. 🤗
Hi Danni great video everything looked so nice,I hope your electricity in your house got fixed they say when it rains it pours we too have a few things that need fixing.
I hope you have a great week ❤
Stooop thermomastat….. awesome
🤣🤣🤣 I'm such a dork... ther-mom-astate 😆
@@danniraearranged had me cracking up 😂 love your videos
Hi Dani. To clean pillows and such I ordered a large netted laundry bag. You put your pillows or other delicates in the bag in the washer on light or gentle cycle. It works better and easier than the bath tub.Oh and ps baking soda is not good for vacuums it clogs the works. I googled that so it's true lol. Yeah but really it can't be good.Despite many online guides recommending baking soda for cleaning carpets, there are dangers to using this homemade cleaning product. Baking soda can clog your vacuum's filters when it's vacuumed up from the carpet. Even worse, if your vacuum's filters have a leak, then the baking soda particles could ruin the motor.Mar 4, 2022
Found your channel today been binge watching your videos your hallarious
By the way- the Honey bee cookie jar is SO cool!! People normally "buzz" around the cookies till they're gone🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🐝🐝🐝!😊
Dishwasher detergent is the “Superwoman” of cleaners. It removes burned-on gunk off off oven racks/&grill racks if you soak them in a bathtub with hot water & a pod or two.
The mug conversation is gold! I literally had the same conversation over socks and one pair had holes 😂. Why is it we get soooo sentimental?!?! Thank you so much for sharing your real life.
🤣🤣🤣 right! Lol it's hard not to get attached ha! There's just somethings that are hard to part with. I'm 🤣 over the sock with the hole, I still have my mug, although I probably should part with it. But it was my first you betcha mug. 😂 Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
I love the Pink Stuff and all Scrub Daddy Products!
That same electrical issue happened to us 2 years ago. We had to have our panel replaced. The incoming line from the electric service was fried, and in turn was burning inside my panel and causing the breakers to burn out. Be careful. That can cause a major fire.
Thise brown outs(half power) with burn out appliance moters. Probably what happened to the fridge and dishwasher. Unfortunately , nothing was visible until they took off the main box cover. Wish i could share a picture of it with you.
I just wanted to tell you so badly to just go. to. the.tub! Maybe close the shower curtain and be sure to take a flashlight! HaHa! Wow thats scary whats going on with the electrical! Super enjoyed the long video as always and the house looks fabulous! Cant wait for the next one! Love you Danielle ❤️😊
Damaan now that´s some awesome cleaning
Danni, love your facial expressions! Love the rambling, it's like we're having coffee and yakking. I just had hand surg, this am, and of course I get motivated to do some shit today! One handed! But not dishes for a week, cuz can't get wet! Haha!
Your kids are learning a valuable life skill by decluttering their stuff. The more they use it, the better they get.
My house is almost 20 years old, not too bad. But it went through a phase where everything was needing replaced. AC, fridge, water heater… I’ve replaced every appliance except my oven over the course of two years. I’m replacing the floors now (from builder grade carpet) and then I have a light fixture that doesn’t work that I have to replace, a porcelain TP holder that is embedded in the wall that got broken. Oh, and a crack in a seam in my drywall. I feel your pain, girl!
As far as a shampooer, whatever one you get , make sure you can easily clean the dirty water tank. I got one that works great, except I can’t get my hand into the dirty water tank to clean it and the residue builds and it gets dirty to the point that it needs more than a rinse. Mine is Bissel brand and it works great as far as cleaning power goes.
Put some herbs 🌿 in it stick it on the windowsill or put in garden recycling 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for your open and honest real videos. I have felt this same way about some sort of negative “something” either out to get me or just flat out forgot about me…. Feels like it’s always me and my stuff falling apart! Helps to remember it’s just life lol. Just keep hanging on and getting through the list- 😂LOL to the intro song hahahaha. Always loved your intro
Looks great 👏🥰🥰🤍
Hi love you !!! Maybe you want to try pumice stone for bathtub
I've been looking for pumice stones lately!
I had a stain on my tub from an ayurvedic remedy (long embarrassing story I won't get into..) but the method I read up on was to actually use bicarb and vinegar into a paste and then put a towel or cloth over the stain to lift the stain\s out of the tub.. Seems to have worked quite well, but might need to do it one more time just to get the last bit out.
Other tub cleaning options include: Lemon + salt, dishwashing tablet (or pod), 2:1 bicarb soda + hydrogen peroxide, vinegar + dish soap (and let sit), or plain ol' bleach! ^_^
Goodness, you have had a time with things. Sounds like them working on those outside outlets did a number on your house. How you are living without AC is beyond me. That's a life and death situation around here. In spite of that, look how much you got done! Long live the You Betcha mug! Look at that sweet puppy on the couch. I just want to give Mia all the pets and belly rubs and treats. If you ever do merch, I can see you making a "beg of stuff" bag.
It's been.. it's been 🤣 it's been chaotic lol yeah I have no idea what happened, it seemed like the last electrician that was out here a couple weeks ago seem to fix the issues, but then apparently didn't because now I'm having bigger issues LOL of course. I have an electrician coming out here tomorrow, and I hope we can get the situation figured out. I can handle fixing appliances or getting all new tires stuff like that but when it comes to the electric that freaks me out. It's been awful without AC, but true story I drove all the way to the cabin today to pick up this portable AC unit that's up there, Tom my father-in-law bought it I think last year and he said that we could borrow it, such a sweet man because it's made a huge difference. Mia is the sweetest fur baby ever, we'll both my fur babies are. They are definitely the queens of the house lol. We love to spoil them 🥰 omg "beg of stuff" 😂🤣 I wrote that down LMBO Hilarious! Thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
I get ups and downs while cleaning too 😮💨. Excited for the room makeover!
Sounds like the wiring is screwed up! You might need a new electrical box. Oh, how I love watching your videos! I don’t blame you for going nuts!😂 I remember when we tried to use our electric coffee pot that sometimes the power would shut down. After having someone check it, someone had it wired wrong. I know what you’re going through. Hope they get it straightened out soon. Sometimes you just have to sit down and laugh at it! 😂😂😂 Girl, you can do it! I know you can! Hugs! Your friend from Michigan!🥰👍💜
I couldn't agree with you more, sometimes you just got laugh, because if I didn't I would cry 🤣 I just keep telling myself it's going to be fine it's going to be fine. We have an electrician coming out here I think within the hour, he wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow but he had a cancellation today and I took it. Electrical freaks me out. I hope he can figure it out but I have a feeling like we're going to need a new box? I hope not but that's my gut. Thanks for always brightening up my day, appreciate you so much friend. Hugs back 🥰😘
That’s a self care check in
I can so much relate with your personality!!! 😂😂😂
A video posted for my birthday. Lol. Happy Christmas in July. 🎄I’m sorry but when you said thermostat I about spit out my drink. That was funny. Thanks again for the laughs.
Me too! I literally just left a comment about the thermostat 😂 love her!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁🎂🥳 hope you have the best birthday ever. I subconsciously knew it was your bday, so of course I had to post a video 🤣 seriously Im such a dork, right after I called it a ther-mom-astate 😆 I had to pause for a second and think about that LMBO I was like that don't sound right, I really have to stop making up words, I just seriously go with it. 🤣
Thank you for always being here with me friend. Hugs 🥰
🤣🤣🤣...Luv you!
Great video! I had a great day cleaning yesterday. But, today. I feel like a giant rock with a head. My body don't wanna move at all. And, my head is in over drive. I took the hose off the back of my washing machine. To clean the grit out of it. So, the cold water will run faster. Well now i can't get the hose to stop leaking when i put it back on. 😂 i put plumbers tape on it and still leaks. So i quit!
It sounds like you invested a lot of energy into your cleaning mission! Good on you!! Perhaps did maybe one of the seals get moved or drop down when you were cleaning the hoses? Leaking is very frustrating! I feel for you! I hope the leak gets fixed for you soon!!
@igitha..._ thank you. I don't think I put enough plumbers tape around the threads. Before putting the hose back on.
@@sherrygantt2158 Plumbers tape is good stuff! I should make a stash of plumbers tape for such a situation! Good luck! 🍀💓
Aww I love you horse Zoey!
Hi friend!
Hey friend. Hope you like today's video, it's extra odd, extra chatty, extra long...it's just extra 🤣🤣 always so happy to see you here with me. Hugs 🥰
I psych myself out by saying it's not that bad that nothing not a big deal when I do dishes it works most of time 😂
I had that happen to the power at my old house. Come to find out the line that connects to the house was half off and had to have the utility company to come and fix it. Only half my house had power and had to use extension cords for everything else.
I've seen you in that Central Perk tshirt many times but just now feel compelled to say that I have it too lol the one I got is sleeveless but I kinda wish it did have sleeves like yours. As for the word, you were just using thermometer and thermostat together lol they both deal with temperature so it makes sense lol. Sorry about the electrical issues. Only one outlet in my kitchen works (crappy apartment so they're probably never going to fix it) so all my small appliances are plugged into a power strip which I hate doing but oh well lol. Murphy's Law does hit hard sometimes right? But yeah we gotta take it in stride. Great job on the house as always!
Do you clean the filters in your appliances? You should be cleaning the filters in your dishwasher, washer, dryer, vacuum, ac, gas heater regularly. A lot of people will have their ac and gas heater serviced about once a year to upkeep it and make sure it's running efficiently and safely. You can always watch videos and do it yourself, but to get them serviced once a year is like $90. You are supposed to change your air filters like 4 times a year etc. When everything is clean, the engine will last longer. If you clean the coils on the fridge, your fridge will perform better etc. Obviously, the current issue is some bigger electrical issue.
In the future, don't buy things that don't need electrical components. the settings should all be manual buttons, you don't need any fancy screens, settings, or beeping. you don't need electrical stoves etc. you don't need dishwashers with electrical sensors that can tell when the door is closed, just get a dishwasher with a latch. the less screens on your appliances, the longer they will last. Get basic, good brands.
We do change our air filters, I'd say about four times a year, I think Ian does that every 3 to 4 months, we do have our AC and gas heater serviced, we have our gas heater serviced once a year, but I will say that the AC doesn't get serviced as frequently as the gas heater, so that's something that we should really be paying more attention to. I will admit Ian does most of this stuff, but I really should know how to do a lot of this stuff. We just got a new fridge and dishwasher, and I'll admit with our last dishwasher we did not clean the filter because it was so old we had no idea how to even get to the filter, so it's really nice that we have a new one cuz I know exactly how to get to the filter with that one, so I have to get into the habit of really keeping that clean.
I also wrote down what you said about the electrical components, I wouldn't have even thought about something like that, so that's really good to know, especially for any future purchases. Just stick with the good basic brands! 💯 I really really appreciate you sharing this with me, these are things that I really should know more about. And thank you so much for watching and being here, I appreciate ya so much 🥰
I just love watching you, I laugh so much can’t wait for the next one and I prefer talking ❤❤
Luv and appreciate you so much dear. Thank you! 🥰😘
Oh goodness I'm sorry everything is breaking. Everything dies over here. Mainly bc I forget to charge before I go to clean 😅😂
🤣 oh jeez lol it's been one thing after the next, I can handle having to get new tires or new appliances, but electric freaks me out. I have an electrician coming in tomorrow he wasn't supposed to be here until Thursday but he got to cancellation for tomorrow and called to see if I wanted an earlier appointment, I was like yes absolutely please get here 😂 always so happy to see you here with me! Hugs 🥰😘
The green machine is what i always see people using.
I'm checking it out ASAP I need one! Thanks luv
Love it already ❤
I have a theory, maybe that's something you've already known. You hate your kitchen therefore you do not like being there and you just threw everything in piles so you hate it even more and the circle goes round and round, all of your other places are usually picked up because you make huge efforts to feel there at home, but there is no heart for this kitchen whatsoever, I think that until you'll make huge makeover to it it will haunt you... Just keep telling yourself it's for now and step by step you'll get there when time and money will be right
That's something I always feel about certain spaces at my house until I won't change it to the way I actually enjoy it
Omg my mind is 🤯 you are 1000% SPOT ON! I seriously didn't even realize it until you just commented this, that is why, and I never really saw it. The rest of my house is usually picked up, I mean of course there's times when the whole house is flipped upside down but not as frequently as the kitchen. The kitchen is always a disaster. And I think you're absolutely right, I think until I do a makeover on the kitchen, as well as make it functional, I feel like it's just an area that I really dislike and it just keeps becoming a disaster. You're so spot on on this.
Hope you're doing well dear! Always look forward to your comments and am so happy you're here with me. Lots of luv 🥰
😂 the garbage disposal does turn on though? Lol 😆
I'm 😂🤣🤣🤣 that is true...there's an upside HA! thanks for watching and being here with me 🥰
Hey lady!!!! I was just thinking about ya when I got the notification that you posted!!! Yeah!!!! Wow it was jam packed. I hope you were able to figure out what was going on with the electricity. Seeing the light go on and off when you flipped on the garbage disposal was unreal. Crazy stuff. I'm excited to see how you make another command center. My husband and I just got through doing a mini makeover on our gameroom area. The video will be public August 28th. It's two parts. I talked to another UA-camr, I can't believe I'm actually saying UA-camr now, it's so surreal,lol. Anyway I talked with another UA-camr and I had told her I was having a hard time at first posting my videos because the editing app I was using it wouldn't export. She suggested that I upload my videos on a monthly schedule to make sure I don't have tech issues, do I'm doing that. It's weird being a UA-camr now. But thank you so much for all your support and chats you did with me on IG(which I miss you on). It's helped me so much. Look forward to your next video of your daughters room makeover!!!!
Oh my gosh lady, This electricity has me on pins and needles, I can handle fixing appliances / broken appliances I can deal with getting new tires but electric freaks me out. I actually have an electrician coming any minute now he should be here soon, he was scheduled to come out tomorrow but he had a cancellation today and asked me if I wanted to bump up my appointment, I swear I couldn't respond to him fast enough... I was like yes please, please. I have this gut feeling that I'm going to have to get a new box or another box, like a smaller one underneath the main box. Although I have no idea what I'm talking about 😜 I absolutely love your house, it's huge, you did such an amazing job with decorating it too, I'm excited to see how you decorate for fall, Halloween and Christmas. I bet the game room is amazing. One of the main reasons why I have a difficult time exporting my videos, when I do have issues exporting, is I think my internet connection. So I have to make sure that I have a strong connection I've even had to contact my internet company to see what's going on cuz there's been times where I either can't upload or it's literally taking hours and hours and hours to upload. I still don't understand why considering that we have literally the fastest speed internet possible, but then again it is me. But yes regular uploading is a great idea. You're a UA-camr now 🥳🥳🥳 I'm so excited for you. Love and appreciate you so much friend. Hugs 🥰😘
@@danniraearranged I definitely decorate for fall. I don't do Halloween. As far as Christmas, I love decorating for it, but we keep it very simple. We have two trees we put up. One by the stairs and one in the gameroom on the bay window area. I need to paint the ceiling part in the bay window area. Probably this weekend or this week for sure. Hope you get the electricity figured out.
I feel you on the "excuses" 😅
I'm the queen of excuses... Especially when it comes to paperwork, the kitchen and creating that dang schedule ha! You and I we get each other lol 🤣...🥰
My husband calls it house karma .. you fix one thing and another thing breaks .. we cleaned out the gutters and later on the AC quit working .. house karma
When you were on your bed under the covers, I thought your hand and remote were a dog's snout. I kept thinking.... 'when sid they get a dog???'
And you do have a dog😂😅😂😅. Hi Mia!!!
I don't know if the power issue is fixed already but my friend had the same thing happen and it turned out to be a problem on the power company's end. They came out and fixed it in a few minutes.
Oh my gosh, that is so crazy that you said that, I had an electrician come out yesterday, the electrician said there is nothing wrong with my electric, the house is safe the electrical is good, so basically I spent close to $400 for him to tell me that it's my power company / meter. So it's really complicated for me to say, but in the next video I'm going to talk about it and show exactly what I'm talking about, they have like a temporary box or something in front of my meter right now. But this has been going on for a very long time and here to come find out it was my meter. So what happened to your friend is exactly what happened to us. I will say that I am very relieved that it's not the electrical. Electrical freaks me out I was literally on pins and needles. Thank you so much for commenting, always so happy to see you here with me. 🥰
@@danniraearranged oh no! I hate you had to spend so much money. I wish I'd been able to tell you before! Electrical stuff freaks me out, too. I'm glad the house is safe! Love your videos so much. I wish we lived in the same area bc we would so be friends ♥
Tub time has moved to the bed!
❤❤❤❤❤
plant a succulent in the broken mug
What an awesome idea!!
That is such a great idea! Luv it! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching and being here with me dear 🥰
If you have shorts going on in your electric, that is really dangerous. Please get an electrician ASAP!
Yes 💯. I actually have an electrician coming out tomorrow, he wasn't supposed to be here until Thursday but he had a cancellation for tomorrow and asked if I wanted to move up my appointment, I couldn't respond yes fast enough. I'm so happy he's coming out tomorrow. I can handle appliances, getting new tires things like that but electrical freaks me out.
I Laughed so hard at zoey’s comment ‘our house is falling apart’ my husband looks up from his phone with his eyebrows up to his hairline! She is your daughter, Danni 😂
Try the pods in the tub where the stains are,
.I'm not sure but can you use Oven Cleaner in the tub?
I love this video and you 😂 “I don’t think my aura is poop brown” and the laying in bed I can relate to that. You’re doing great ! Keep the chatty videos and I like the 80s style music but yeah maybe without the lyrics
Oh Danni… you are a hoot girl! You make me laugh because you’re so funny. I am certainly no electrician, but it sounds like some wires or whatever are loose., But just for the heck of it, I’m going to send you some holy water. 💦!!! 😇
You are so dang sweet 😘 thank you! Ya it's been a chaotic hotmess over here, thank goodness I have an electrician coming today, he'll be here within the next couple hours, I'm crossing my fingers he can solve the problem. Holy water...yes please lol you're a love, thanks for watching and being here with me. Hugs 🥰
you are awesome
Yeah! Another Danni-video! Save my day! 😍🤩 When will we get to meet Ryan in your videos? 😆😀
They says that medial/ strong intuitive persons have big troubles with technical items and electric power /supplies.
I have been begging my brother and my dad to get in on the videos, especially Ryan considering... you know.. we have a whole "ask Ryan" thing going on now 😆 my dad and my brother are even more camera shy than my mom and my husband, I guess I'm the odd one in the family 😂 I'll never stop trying, I hope one day he decides to get into one of the decluttering videos, that would be so fun. I think he will one day!
I had no idea! That is really interesting! Ever since I can remember I've always had issues with cars, appliances, computers, phones, TVs I mean you name it I've had issues 😆 my husband is always on pins and needles, poor guy. Lol always so happy to see you here with me dear. Hugs 🥰
@@danniraearranged Maybe some day.... 😄😍 A sneak peak 😉🙃
@@danniraearranged Nothing to do, then... 😄 Thanks Danni, Happy to be here! 🤗❤
It is now forever "thermomastat"
🤣🤣🤣
Amazon has curtains that go on the French foot. They attach with Velcro and you can pull them up like curtains. The tabs hold them. I have them. They work great. Privacy for Zoey room and a beautiful touch for a girl room. 1:04:45
French doors not French foot.
Thank you so much, we've been using a sheet to cover the doors lol we had curtains but they weren't the best they kept falling. I'm making over her room so I'll head over to Amazon and pick those up. Yay! And thank you for always being here with me dear. Hugs 🥰
🤣
Is it ok if I screenshot this comment and put it in the video? No biggy at all if you're not ok with that. Thanks dear
Thermomostat killed me 😂😂😂😂
Isn’t it always a cascade of things with home repairs? We just spent a lot of money repairing a crack in our foundation, had some electrical work done, and splurged a bit on new carpet for the bedrooms, and immediately the dining room light broke in such a way that we will need a professional to fix it.
So, for now we’re eating by the light of the kitchen because we don’t want to dip into our emergency fund. I’m sure the moment we fix the light something else will go. 😅😅
Also, thank you for the long video! I feel like I’m chatting with a friend and I get a lot done during the videos…with the nice long one today I got soooo much done!
I don’t know why but this was my favorite video and I cleaned (and crashed) along with you lol ❤
Also the “thank you for watching” clip thumbnail 😂
BISSELL Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner!
Ohhh! You made me laugh…your inner dialogue trying to get yourself motivated and the ther-mom-o-stat.
🤣🤣🤣...🥰😘
As my Son Samuel used to say: "He doesn't want to do it!" You could say it too❤"SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO IT!""😅😂
Hey Danni! 😊
Hey friend 🥰
So your daughter gets her gift of talking from her mom 🥰🤣
It sounds like your electrical the neutral has been grounded. Please have it looked into.
I wrote this down so I could show the electrician. I have an electrician coming out tomorrow, he wasn't supposed to come until Thursday but he had a cancellation for tomorrow and asked if I wanted him to come sooner, I was like yes absolutely please. I can handle getting new tires or dealing with appliances stuff like that, but electrical scares me, that freaks me out. Really appreciate you sharing this with me. Thank you 🥰
