Declutter and Organize With Me I Messy Home Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- This is the first video of a new playlist/series on my channel which will include cleaning, organization and decluttering videos. I have been struggling with keeping my home tidy for my entire life and since my kids were born I have seen "some" improvement. I am hoping to tackle this topic as part of a personal development project. My goal is to have a home that is easier to manage which always gives me a better sense of peace and makes life feel less hectic and less heavy.
Clean and declutter with me!

I love how down to earth you are in all of your videos - curly hair and now house cleaning! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! I'm really looking forward to this new chapter :)
I am so grateful that you are doing this, Susie. My life and house are so disorganized that I am overwhelmed to the point of paralysis. I do not know what to do first, so instead I do nothing. I cannot wait to go on this organizational journey with you. Even though I am decades older than you, I feel like I can totally relate to you. Thank you ever so much for sharing with us!
Hi Suzy with a Z!! Just pick one drawer, just for fun, or one shelf, but something you see every day. Take everything out, throw away all of the garbage, decide what should live in there and find new homes for everything else. If you haven't used something in years & years, get rid of it. You deserve it.

@@suzynewjerseyThank you! I thought I was the only one feeling like this. But I keeping trying. It doesn't help me when living with somebody that's is worse than me.
@@CurlySusieI think it'll help me to get some of those little organizers. I don't have a problem stuff out, it's hard to do so living with somebody who does.
I watch a channel call the minimal mom. She taught me so much. I'm not a minimalist, but pretty close to it. Lol.
Thanks for sharing part of your story. I appreciate your vulnerability and it’s a great reminder that because you watch someone on UA-cam you’re only getting a glimpse into their life. ❤
This was so unlike the usual same-o, same-o YT video, almost like watching a TV show, hearing someone's story unfold, and what will happen next (like the times you said you'll probably cover a certain topic you brought up today later on in a lot more detail). I was like "oh! I want to hear more now!" I really believe talking about all these things will be so beneficial for clearing your mind out and that in the process you will help so many others at the same time, on a huge scale.
The finished drawer looks great! I simply love doing drawer organization like you just did here; it's exactly like a puzzle, finding just the right place for everything and working it all around to where each thing needs to go, and when it's completed, what a feeling of satisfied accomplishment! I have been needing to clean out and reorganize 3 stuffed cabinets in the pantry and laundry room that have had too many things put in them and are now overcrowded and messy, and I will be taking care of that little chore now one by one! I look forward to the feeling of satisfaction when I've finished them!
Oh - I forgot to say this earlier and had to come back and edit the comment - thanks SO much for putting the link up above to your intro music!
I am LIVING for these videos! Please continue posting these on a regular basis... I cleaned my "junk" drawer with you and it felt amazing! Can't wait to see what we will declutter next!
Susie, you need to think of “systems” that could work for you in this season of life. Like the shoes near the bench or a charging station in the kitchen. Find things that your family naturally does and set up a “system” or spot for it. My friend put all of her kids and all of her kids socks in the mud room since that’s where everyone put their shoes on. I split laundry by person so I don’t have to sort afterwards. I just put one person’s laundry away. And I never fold anything that goes in a drawer- for kids of myself and husband. Folding is overrated. I hang stuff up I want to keep wrinkle free. I know this is very therapeutic for you to share. I
Enjoy listening while I do chores. I think you grew up and changed. You’re still the same person but that experience molded you into
The beautiful woman, wife, and mother you are today. ❤
Hi! I tackled a drawer that I’ve been avoiding forever! Thank you for talking me through it! Together we can do it!❤
I'm so glad to hear that, hoping to post another one tomorrow :)
You gave me a lot to think about and reflect on. I subscribed many moons ago for curly hair advice but your challenges with clutter and the life story really resonated with me. You really made me pause and think. Thank you.
I hate cleaning but I like my home to look tidy. Though I am a maximalist. Cleaning and organising videos always motivate me to do something. There's always something that needs to be done. I try to keep it practical and prioritise what I can do. Thank you for your video.
What a great video, you explained the cleaning and mental connection to it so well. I can relate. I know I feel so much anxiety when my house is messy but I can also stuff things where I can’t see them 😂
Well done , it takes courage to Come Clean so to speak lol , These videos will be valuable to others , thank you for sharing .
My daughter, granddaughter and I were on your beautiful island last week … your accent is Cape Breton.
I love your story time. Better than music! I can relate so much. It's been a struggle ever since i was a young student mother, then later a working mom. It's hard! So much stuff.
Loved this! Your accent is definitely Canadian 😊
Cape bretoner lol I'm in cbrm as well and been on UA-cam myself for like 14 years. You gave some great tips I'm always organizing and decluttering
Thank you for being so brave and sharing this with us. It’s so relatable for me, we have 4 kids in the house ranging from 5 months to 20 years 😅😅. We ended up with sooo much clutter during covid as they stopped uplifts and now the places is like Paddy's Market.
4 boys 😂I should say because it does make a difference 😅
I made a list of areas that I've been wanting to tackle for so long! Hoping to work on them throughout this series! It feels so good to see someone I can relate to doing these sort of videos
I didn't declutter with you today, but I did fold a very huge basket of clothes because it was extremely necessary 😅 I do confess I love folding cloths, I always treat myself to a interesting UA-cam video while I fold my clothes, sheets and towels!, and I love to fold as neatly as possible! For some reason, I find this very satisfying! I enjoyed spending time working with you today! Blessings, Susie! P.S. I've wondered where your accent came from, but haven't figured it out, look forward to knowing!
This was really inspiring for me. I struggle maintaining my home. I am going to make a plan to tackle it little by little. Please keep the videos coming!
Just over the way in Newfoundland, Suzie, and I so appreciate you putting this video up because I hear what you are saying. I planned to reach the end of summer with my entire house purged, organized, and cleaned. I managed to get one closet and our home office done. In three months. Looking around at the piles and clutter makes me overwhelmed to the point of panic. But I am going to try to get this done before the end of November, in time for Christmas- so I'll be tuning in for a boost to my motivation or a hard kick in the arse, because I'm up for either! 😅
Yay, another Curly Susie video! You made my day, ma’am!🎉
Yay! Thank you!
If this isn't something that interests you.... don't worry I'll be posting another hair video next week :)
Glad you doing this series. Inspiring. I feel the same way. Here we go, again, I'm in. I love your kitchen, my lower cabinets are painted blue too.
Thanks for sharing! I love your authenticity and vulnerability. I’d also enjoy a relationship insight/topic video from you!
Thank you for this! I never knew there were such things as cleaning videos! I follow you for curly hair content 😊. My house is in squalor, but like you, I’m well put together on the outside and work out a lot too. But I’ve let my house go over COVID, and no one has come inside in almost 3 years now. But need a handyman to come in and fix stuff and got motivated to start cleaning when I saw this! Throwing stuff away, putting all my dry cleaning away, and tackling my bedroom first! Hope for it to be clean for company within a week 🤞. Thank you, thank you Susie!
I can’t wait to watch this and declutter my house at the same time
Thank you for sharing your story. I can totally relate. In my younger years I had that shame and the thought of letting anyone is my house was terrifying. I also know that feeling of letting someone help you. The shame and guilt it overwhelming but it is one of the most amazing gifts to give someone who struggles with living in a mess. Exactly like you said, it feels like a huge weight is lifted. That's why I love videos like by Clutterbug when she goes in and helps someone who is overwhelmed. The transformations are so emotional and I cry with them because I know how they must feel. I love when people share theirs stories like you are doing. It helps other feel less alone. I'm looking forward to your next video.
P.S. I know it's none of my business, but I see that you have a Beta fish. I see that it is going after the other fish. They are also called fighting fish because they are very aggressive, and it is recommended that they not be in a tank with other fish. Which is why they are often alone when you find them in a pet store. Sorry if I'm overstepping. Just and FYI.
20 minutes- ironing board cleared. It has become like a junk drawer with misc everything starting from my watch to notes from work 😊
Great to hangout with you again!!
I am avid fan from curly videos.
Please remember, as I am sure you know, mental health repeats in families. Hugs from League City, TX
Glad you got something done. Absolutely Anne. Thanks for messaging me. This is one of the reasons that I abstain from alcohol, I am very proactive about my mental health but also recognize the risk.
I like to say "it ran in my family until it ran into me" which is a stolen song lyric.
I just love you. Your honesty and vulnerability are so empowering. I'm proud of you for tackling this to give yourself some freedom and ultimately more time with your family.
Sharing it with us is absolutely above and beyond. I did my junk drawer. THANK YOU.
I used little cheap hair claw clips (dollar store or Temu) to wrap the little cords, it keeps them together. I got a universal screwdriver with a Philips and a flathead on one screwdriver. I love that thing! I'm OCD and also very "Project Messy" so I drive myself crazy. I do come up with some creative solutions for keeping things tidy tidy.... once I get started...
Hello Susie, thanks for opening up a conversation about how mental health problems both mild and severe can manifest themselves in surrounding ourselves in clutter. It’s such an important and potentially debilitating aspect of many underlying problems so any discussion, whether lighthearted or deep can only be a good thing. So thanks again for that. Regarding your accent, being from England myself I’ve always thought that you sound like you grow up in Ireland. X
I'm from a VERY small town in Nova Scotia. Lots of Irish & Scottish settlers :)
I’m soooo happy you’re back 🥳🥳🥳🥳
My house needs this so much! I’m always battling the mess and I struggle with maintaining routines to help keep it neat.
I need to get some work done but I’m putting it off because of the mess. I’m going to work with you so I can get a hold on my house, get it to the point where I feel good about it, and get the issues fixed. I want to love my house again!
love it❤ur house is clean
Oh my goodness! I always loved your curly hair videos so much. I thought then that you seem like someone I would be best friends with. I never guess we shared similar cleaning challenges! I can’t wait to go on this journey with you. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing with us! My guess is Canada BTW.
Thank you so much!! I am Canadian but I am from a teeny tiny town in Nova Scotia where there are a lot of Irish & Scottish roots.
Love you Susie. No need to guess where your accent is from - I'm only a couple hours away in Halifax. I knew within a minute of watching your first video ❤
I really love that you're doing this. I found you for the curly hair (I've learned so much!) but I really struggle with keeping a tidy house and have a lot of poor self-talk around it. Thank you for putting yourself out there & normalizing the struggle! You're awesome.
This is great! It’s so nice to see someone so real :) This makes me so motivated to do my own house.
Omg Susie girl I love this idea!!! Working fulltime constantly cleaning in my downtime ...so frustrating... following you and decluttering❤
sooooooooo frustrating!
You are so pretty and down-to-earth at the same time! My hair used to be wavy/curly but now it's just barely wavy so weird. Anyways, for your accent I really have no idea but it sounds Canadian to me with the "yous" and other words that you add the "s" to. lol Love your videos!!!♥
Hey Susie!
Been watching you since the beginning! I remember the miscarriage conversation 😞and I truly believe that it’s helping so many women in the world right now.
I really value your honesty and the story-time portion of the video.
I’m a psycho when it comes to a clean minimal house but I love videos that don’t take a crazy amount of metal space and will totally tag along with you on this journey, since our curls are already perfect lol
Have you seen a British UA-camr named Remi Clog? She takes people along cleaning despite struggling with kids and mental health. Her commentary is heartwarming.
Great video.
I thought of you the other day when I cut off like 4 inches of my hair. I finally got up the courage to cut my hair again , watched a video of a curly hair ‘cut’ that was really just a person snipping 2mm of hair, I got frustrated and started cutting. It turned out really good even though it was way more than I wanted to take off but I’ve had several people complement me and they were shocked I cut it myself
I totally understand. I actually have anxiety and OCD. My house being a mess actually stresses me out. I’ve noticed if I spend 1 day doing a deep clean and then clean a little everyday it’s better for my headspace. It’s all relative right? Also, as I said, I have clinical OCD not the kind people like to say they have lol - anyways, your house isn’t that bad. Good job Susie. Your energy is palpable. ❤
Love love love this content. Cleaning and housekeeping/homemaking videos that are HONEST and show real homes are so validating. Thank you for this. Another channel I love for that is "With Love, Kristina," even if vintage isn't your thing, the sentiments and struggles are so honest and a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend the book How to Keep House While Drowning, also.
Looking forward for your next video. You’re very relaxing to listen to.
Thank you! My house is so u consistent, itll be very clean for a bit and then a busy week will pass and all the usual spots will have built up junk again and its so much work to undo it all. I tackled a coffee table thay had books, pens, water bottles on it, none that had to be there. I hears about using a 'one touch method ' where if you are holding something you never just put it down, always away, so you are only touching it once. Im going to try do it more often.
Loved this video! Can't wait for what's to come.
Thank you! I'm hoping to upload again this weekend.
Perfect timing, I have been doing the same thing for the past two weeks.
It took me three days to watch this video because I’ve been busy with the kids but I just finished and CRIED hearing about your step mom and dad coming over. I was honestly shocked that you were with that guy for so many years and then said 26??? You still look not even 30! ❤
Busy with the kids? You? Haha Thank you I was 26 about 15 years ago lol My math and memory are terrible, I actually dated that fella from age 18 until about 28 but when I was 26 I remember having this wave of clarity about having control over my life and started taking baby steps toward what I wanted.
Go Susie go!! I’ll cheer you on the whole way!
Tomorrow, i will decluter under my kitchen sink! Thank you, Susie ❤.
P.S. thank you for sharing your personal stories with us.
Love ya Susie ❤. Thank you 😊
We recently declutterred 3/4 of everything we owned, and are downsizing from 1800 square feet to 860 for a family of 3. I feel so free! It’s shocking how much we accumulate, and how you really can live without it.
In the last 3 years, I have accumulated more clutter. I'm so tired when I get home from work. I don't know if it's also because I've gotten older. I just don't have the energy. I like your videos, Susie, because you keep it real and I find it interesting to learn about your life.
Hello "other" susie. Thank you so much for saying this. I struggle sometimes because I really love other peoples UA-cam channels & I love making videos but sometimes I feel silly sharing my life. I keep telling myself, "Im not a UA-camr, just a regular, imperfect person who likes making videos. :)
I’m a bit of a neat freak, house is clean and tidy (no kids though so that’s got to help!) , but believe me, my kitchen messy drawer is an absolute shit tip and is 100% times worse than yours was before you tidied it up 😂! I try to do one tidying/cleaning job a day but the messy drawer never gets done! ❤
Awesome!
I am so needing this I am having a melt down and my house ( and email inbox😂) is getting out of control. I appreciate everything you are saying and I identify with a great deal of it I only started trying baby steps recently to do things to make my space better for my mental health. And you didn't haven't failed . It's not failure we are learning . I'm going to quickly reorganize my bathroom drawer 😊
Lori!!! just do one drawer :) let me know how it goes.
@@CurlySusie it went well and didn't take too long. Today I worked on making some containers outside to plant some fall veggies in bc with all this I lost my garden too bc I didn't have the strength at the time to keep it up. I will do another drawer or something later today. I think this is how I can slowly get things better. Thanks!
So so so so relatable. And I love your gentle approach. Thank you for sharing!! Hahaha I remember first hearing you I thought you were Irish. But I know better now 😉
Thank you so much!! How tall are you? lol
Hey, Suzie--I've been around since before the hard times before baby no 2 (Harry?), and I am SO glad you're back. I, too, have struggled all my life with tidiness, except I'm nearly 65. And it's definitely tied to my chronic depression--the worse my depression, the worse the clutter, and vice versa. I'm super stoked for this cleanup etc project, and I'm definitely going to do it with you, but this time I'm just out of the hospital with pneumonia, so I just watched. WELCOME BACK!!! 🥳
Hello my friend. Thank you for your long time support of my channel. I have always looked at your profile pic I thought that you remind me so much of one of my aunts. Is Kassabian a Lebanese name? I don't look it but 1/2 of my family are Hashems. Hope you feel better very soon.
@@CurlySusie How fun! I'm Armenian, and I think that's where we get our curly hair from. I'm kinda intrigued by where curly hair shows up ...
Thank you!
Hi, what a comforting video, if you know what I mean ?? I’m from the UK and when I hear your accent I just think of Fargo ?? Am I close ?? 😊 x
💖💖💖
#1 A home is meant to be live in!!!!!!!!! #2 You should of gone with your husband and kids for the walk!!!!! #3 Who is judging you only yourself, BUT getting the place organized and minimalized will give you peace of mind that I do understand. #4 Everyone living in that house has to take responsibility for its up keep or else get a cleaning lady once or twice a month. #5 Life is too short.......I am 70, I wish I had a do over button some days. ♥♥
I sat down to watch this video after cleaning in all day ty so much for sharing with us I have 2 sons also but now they are in their 30s When I was marriied my ex didd no house work or cooking it all fell on my so I wanted to raaisee my sons so they didnt not need a woman to take care of them I started before they could read by putting pictures os cr or lego on a luggage tag and got empty pails for the local dairy and put them in the toy room and bedroom and there "JOB" was to put the toys away before bed and if it didnt make it in the pails then it went into the no touch pil which they could hve the toy for a week they are now grown men keep thier plces clean and dont have women doing everytging for them
A place for everything and everything in its place…..and put it in its place when you’re done with it! Clutter and mess makes me feel agitated. I wouldn’t say my house is totally clean but it is organized partly because I don’t like a lot of stuff. When bad/sad things happen and overwhelm us some things take the back burner, try not to be so hard on yourself. Also, everyone needs chores…..including husbands and kids and be responsible for their own things.
TIPS: use twist ties to hold those device cords together; get a basket for those dog treats on the counter.
So glad your back. Love ur videos. Sounds like theres a bit of irish in ur accent? 🇮🇪 🤔.
Yes, yes there is a "bit" of Irish. But I am not Irish lol
😂. Watching your videos for years. Cape Breton looks amazing 🇨🇦. ❤
Hi!!!
S'goin on?!!
Woohoo! Curly hair and cleaning collide 😅 If you start doing financial videos and true crime, my UA-cam list will be complete.
Hahaha I can't see me giving ANYONE financial advice... that would be scary
I think I have heard you say that you are from Cape Breton.
Boston or New Jersey?
Cape Breton Nova Scotia ... same continent though lol
@@CurlySusie 🤓
Do each of your boys have daily chores!
We've just started :) I realize how important this is now.
Susie! This so off topic but if I could ask, did you lose Kyle? Where did willow come from? Kyle always seemed like the cutest little buttface😂
We did lose Kile. He was only 12. Its been almost a year and I'm still not ready to talk about it on camera. He was THE dog. I will never ever EVER get over how much we loved him. My neighbours dog had puppies and we got Willow when Kile was still alive and they were perfect siblings. She is goofy and sweet but she's a "dog" if you know what I mean lol..... Kile was more like a person, he was our child that became our roommate. He was the best.
You exhibit all the positive stereotypes of a Eastern Canadian. I'm not good at eastern accents. PEI?
Soooooooooo close. Right side of the map, different Island :)
@@CurlySusie lol. I Knew it. I won't guess again to ruin the fun
