ONE YEAR OF EXTREME DECLUTTERING/ Where my house was then vs now/ House Tour and progress ❤️

- I can not believe it’s been one year since I started decluttering my house. This extreme decluttering journey has been life changing in so many ways.
Not only does my house look better and more peaceful, my mind is more at peace.
This was a years worth of a ton of work!! And staying consistent was the key to making the progress I’ve made. There were weeks here or there where I took breaks from decluttering to spruce up a room I had recently decluttered. However I had my mind so focused on getting the clutter contained and items out of my house that were not serving us.
Through all the weeks and months of decluttering I donated around 80 full garbage bags full of usable items. It felt so good to get it out of my house and give someone an opportunity to use those items.
Some areas still more decluttering but overall I’m incredibly happy with the progress I’ve made. And doing all the decluttering sparked room makeovers in several rooms.
Thanks for being with me on this journey! I appreciate you all 🤗
Decluttering is so hard! Decluttering is si overwhelming! And decluttering is worth it ❤️

So dang happy that I found you when you started this channel. It has been wonderful for me to see you find yourself amongst the clutter. Your honesty is so uplifting. Congratulations 🎉 the house looks great and I'm sure your grandmother is smiling down on you.
Thank you so much JoAnn ❤️❤️❤️
This is so inspiring! ❤ You are so right, consistency is the key - slow and steady wins the race. I feel like I missed the excitement when we moved our family of 4 into our home in 2012, because my father passed away during our move. Then my health went sharply downhill, and I ended up having to retire early for medical reasons. "Losing" my career was a big hit for me, as well as being hospitalized so frequently. It feels like several years are a black spot in my memory, and one day I looked around and thought - I really need to work on this house. 10 minutes a day for a few years made a huge difference! Although in the beginning we painted the entire inside, replaced the carpeting, etc., I was never able to fully decorate, or declutter the stuff that just didn't "work" in this home. Plus teenagers and their childhood things not being decluttered, and anything that was acquired for me was just piled in the bedroom. Of course, my health wasn't up for deep cleaning either. What a mess. We also lost my mother, and my father-in-law, which resulted in acquiring some of their belongings. Things needed to find a home. I was able to step it into high gear this past year, yay!!! Deep cleaning and decluttering at a faster pace, with your videos inspiring me! 😀 So thank you for helping me to get this done. Life feels lighter.
Jennifer my goodness you’ve been through a lot! And look at you moving forward and taking your house back 👏👏
I’m so sorry for all your losses and your health! And I’m so happy for you that you are getting things the way you want them now. Big hugs to you 🤗
This is me too, little and often sessions. I'm overwhelmed at the min.
One year went by so fast for me too! Through my grief of losing my husband. One year ago today....l decided to start a massive decluttering too. It’s been so very hard. I’m still at it. Trying not to lose heart. Just FYI, l got high school boys to help me out. They got some community service time and l pay them some cash. Huge help! We’re finishing up the semi trailer today. Plus the storage unit is about half done. 50 years of life. So hard but l made myself be brutal about it. Now they will help me get it to all to the organizations. I had so many good things. I’m going to downsize completely minimizing my life. We were about to finish up our house we built but now l am unable to do that. So l am thinking do l just live with it unfinished or sell. Such a tough decision. So good for you! Boy do l understand the journey. I hope to love my home again. I had 5 grandkids and now they’re grown and left with so much stuff to downsize. I’m going to dedicate one bedroom to my crafting area. Which was my husbands office. That’s hard but in time l think it will work. Your home is lovely ❤👍🏼👏🏼TFS l needed the encouragement especially today.
Blessing to you on your journey ♥
I just wanted you to know I read your story and am amazed at your strength!! I can’t even imagine what you have gone through and the decisions you have to make with your house…
I really wanted you to know I have said a prayer for you!!!
I’m praying this year is a little easier. It’s not something you “get over “ more like losing a part of yourself (like a limb)….it’s very hard adjustment but with time , moving forward and God life becomes easier and can be joyful…
Blessings
Very good road you're on. Creative bereavement pleases our guardian angels. Not only you move and work thru all emotions downsizing home, touching all these objects. But now you know you have to take that great leap forward one box at a time. One room whenever possible. It makes it visible. Help is terrific, bravo for surrounding urself and finding those hands. Great your first goal is craftstime for yourself. You will maybe from there go to gift crafts to community work schemes, family gifts, your interior or even teach others your skills or go on to courses to learn new things, get into touch with new people.
You are very brave, the bumpy road is there to gift yourself with a serene heaven called home sweet home.
Thank you all 🙏
Thank you SOOOOO much for sharing your journey. I have been a mess for the past 5 years as I got a divorce that I didn't want (broke up in 2017, divorced in 2018) and my getting cancer in 2020. I am slowly getting my life together and today was a GOOD day of decluttering. I'm not there yet but I am on my way. 20 minute tasks DO add up.
What moves me the most from the look back is the sense of items of great sentimental value being given their place, being cared for and showcased. It reminds me of one of my favourite childhood books -The Secret Garden - where the children push back the grass and weeds from around sprouting flowers to give them space to find their light in the sun. I think that's what decluttering does - while I love the cleaning up and order that comes from the act - it's the chance to decide what is important for you - that is the most valuable gift from the process. I felt that most in your dining room - because it was a storage room before and now with your beautiful pieces of furniture unearthed and your family photos (yes you grandmother does look like Barbara Stiesand!) the room feels purposeful and put together with care and love 😊
How awesome is this!! Before/After's are so nice to see! Congratulations on one year Jodi!! I knew you could do it. And Happy Birthday Donna Jean!! You always brighten up our day's with your little waves or coming in to help your mom out!!

Yay Jodi!! You done it! Big congratulations to you!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You have no idea how many lives you have impacted!

Happy Birthday! Donna Jean! Have fun crafting!
So incredible Jodi! Every room has had such a huge transformation. Thanks for letting us watch your journey 🎉
Thank you Laura 🤗🤗
I appreciate you being here ❤️
A beautiful home for a beautiful Woman. This was so exciting. I was here for the first videos and can’t wait to see what’s coming. Thank you for sharing 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
What an amazing job you've done, girl! You must be proud of it, your house looks beautiful and I'm sure you and your family enjoy much more every corner of it. And happy birthday, Donna Jean! Have a super special day! ¡Muchas felicidades y que pases un muy feliz día de cumpleaños!
Wow!!! Thank you for sharing your home and the progress you have made. I agree with you. You live in your home, there are going to be messes. Just thank you, thank you, thank you for being real. Keep it up lady, you inspired me to do my best for my home. Hugs to you!!!!
Wow I watch all your videos on this channel and I think this is my favorite. The things you say especially towards the end about the holidays and being tired of not loving the way the house was and saying to yourself I can do this and then actually doing it is amazing. You truly did the most amazing job especially with the furniture and paint and carpet and the cleaning things like windows too. I was always so amazed how you’d say the painters coming the all the sudden you had the whole room decluttered with the snap of a finger. Well you made it seem that way because you actually got through it by the end of the video. I love that even with furniture in the bedrooms not being 100% matchy matchy how pretty they all came out. I think I prefer the contrast of the not matchy matchy furniture. I am so happy you love your house and bedroom even more now because you deserve it and worked very hard towards it! I love your little Donna Jean and your cute little interactions with the British accents. So cute. Happy birthday sweet one. Also I love that they all have nice pretty clean dedicated rooms and decorated rooms and I love the grandkids room. Even if the girls sleep together still its so nice to have their own spaces and retreats. The way you made your house look and feel now will inspire so much pride in your girls and I know they feel even more loved and special that you put the effort into the coziness of the home. I cant wait for the next video!!!! OMG
The house looks great! So much has been done in the last year. Be proud of your progress! Happy Birthday, Donna Jean!
Love this channel, your gratefulness for all of us who watch and your enthusiasm.
Happiest 12th birthday Donna Jean!!
Thank you so much Lyna 🤗🤗

❤❤❤Thank you so much for taking us all along with you! The past year has been amazing! And to actually see the difference in one video is amazing! Keep up the amazing great work and great videos xxx
Thank you so much Amy ❤️❤️
I just found your channel and am so glad I did! I have had losses in my life, grandmother, a good friend/mom like figure/. Dad, and now my mom last month. I’ve been so depressed, and I’ve been trying to declutter, but my heart is not in it. So I get it! You have done amazing work on your house and I’m sure your grandmother is smiling down at you! You have encouraged me to start small. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!
Thank you Jodi for starting this channel and bringing us along on this journey. What an adventure this has been. And you are so right about just taking the first step and going for it. Especially in little chunks of time. It truly does make a difference. Your home shines just like you do!!! You are such a bright ray of sunshine in this world. ✨️
Oh Alice thank you so much!! Your kinds words went to straight to my heart ❤️❤️❤️
Looks fantastic! You did a amazing job decluttering and decorating.
Ahhhh, I didnt expect you to get this one so quick!!!! Thank you!
Totally agree with Aly, Jodi you laughter is contagious ❤️ 😄
Aww happy birthday to Donna Jean! Wishing you a happy birthday and many more blessings! 🎂🥳🥳🥳
Thank you for starting this channel and taking us a long on this amazing journey. I am so happy for you and your family. You should be so proud of all that you have accomplished!
Your house looks great!!
Can’t wait to see more videos!❤️
Happy Birthday Barbara Jean!🎉🎂
Thank you Kim ❤️❤️
It is emotional when a house is finally (never really done) where it is now Home. You are inspiration all over!
Thank you Jodi for giving me hope. Our house is so cluttered that we haven’t been able to entertain our family for several years. Our grandkids use to be here all the time, they were here in my daycare, and several of them lived with us, and two still do (we adopted three of our 12 grandkids in 2014). I’m just beginning to feel well enough to tackle getting rid of the clutter, after having Covid twice. My goal is to get the first floor done by Thanksgiving, and the upstairs bedrooms done by Christmas. I have started a ’no spend’ October, so I won’t add anything else to the house until we purge the clutter. Getting so much free items couponing (I’ve been using coupons for well over 40 years) my stockpile is a mess. I have begun listing it on Facebook marketplace as well as making donations to several different organizations, which makes me feel very good. Jodi you are such a blessing to so many people, and I just wanted to say thank you for being so transparent with us! You are helping so many people!
My situation is very similar & Jodi has given me such motivation tonite... I'm starting my new decluttered life tomorrow!! Her final words in this video are what really moved me. Good luck to you, too 👍🏼😊.
Oh Donna! I had no idea you were struggling with clutter. I know the burden it brings. It sounds like you have an awesome plan and goals set in place. No spend October is a great idea. Im rooting for you and cheering you on friend 👏👏👏
Feel free to message me if you need anything. Im here for you 🤗
Ur house is beautiful and thank u for giving us encouragement this past year and for taken us along with u. U are amazing women and deserve the best ❤
Your amazing! Love everything. My favorite color of paint was in the grand babies room. ❤
Thank you for taking us along this journey. I am decluttering while watching this. Yes my home has turned into a house I dont want to live in. Depressing absolutely! I have started and stopped so many times but I keep trying. I have cleaned out some cabinets and bought some things to help keep them organized. Definitely work in progress
Love the video!! You’ve worked so hard! Can’t wait for more❤😊
You’ve done an amazing job on every room! I love watching your videos, they’re so real and inspiring. 👏🏻
What a transformation!! OMG! I have watched many of your rooms being decluttered and it was fun to see the overview! I bet not only you but your whole family is much happier! And as you mentioned you are feeling 'House Proud'.... We SHOULD love our homes!! I look forward to seeing your office / craft room update!!! (P.S. Happy Birthday Donna Jean)
You have done such a good job making your house a home. You should feel proud. Such an inspiration. Your consistency was key. Keep up the good work. So many benefits like having more special memories with family gatherings and sweet grand babies.
Hi new viewer from the UK. Jodi you have come so far and done so well you are a massive inspiration to me so thank you for taking us on your journey and helping other people to make a start with theirs x much love. also happy birthday to Donna Jean 🎂
I am so proud of you. GREAT JOB. I am where you were a year ago. I feel like I go in circles and get no where which then brings discouragement. You give me hope. One day at a time. One room at a time. Thank you again
Jodi, I love what you have done with your home. My favorite room is your dining room, but they are all very nice. You have reason to be proud because you didn`t take a defeatist attitude and you got it done. It was a lot of work , with a positive outcome, not only for you and your family but for the Goodwill recipients.I also enjoyed your yard makeover.😊👍
Thank you for sharing your home with me. Happy Birthday to your daughter. Jody I'm so grateful to you for everything you do. God continue to bless and keep you.
Thank you so much for sharing your decluttering journey with us. Congratulations!!! i am currently on my decluttering journey and your story helps.
Oh that’s so exciting! I’m cheering for you 👏
That's where I am!!! My house feels so cluddered that it feels hopeless!!! I have no idea where to start, and how to get a easy to do system that will really work for us. I can't get any of my family members to go through their own stuff and downsize. Personally for me, I hold on to stuff for emotional reasons, then get mad at myself for not being able to let go. I wish I had half of your enthusiasm and ambition. Oh well, one day at a time, one room at a time. Soon I'll get started, and there'll be no stopping me!!! And one day I too will Love my house again.
This is an outstanding video. I liked that you said to use small chunks of time. It does work and saves getting overwhelmed. Congratulations on getting your home cleared of the excess and creating a lovely space.
Great job and perseverance!!! You should be proud of yourself and your house.
Your house is very nice. You all did a great job!!❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
HI Jodi, thank you for inviting us into your house. you have come so far and I am proud of you. You are amazing and I look forward to seeing what else you do as you continue your journey. Keep up the good work and keep being amazing.
