Hi Friends! How is your November going? Mine has started off nicely! In today’s video, I do some home updates, a reset and start getting prepared for the upcoming holidays! I put away decor and get my home ready to start decorating! I also end up with a pretty big declutter too! That’s always a bonus! Thanks so much for being here!
Hi friend! I definitely understand eating turkey before you decorate for Christmas, my daughter does the same thing that you do! Thanks for always being here for me, pal! I really appreciate you always taking the time to comment and let me know that you’re here rooting for me!
As far as opening presents it depends when the big kids can come over. This year we decided the adults would draw names for presents now the little are fair game
Hi Debbie! Your home sounds a lot like us, it depends when the big kids come over! That’s a neat idea about the adults drawing names! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to let me know what your family does. Have a wonderful weekend!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video Jean! It did feel like 15 billion pieces! I am not very mechanical and great at putting things together so as I kept pulling out more packets of parts I started to get real freaked out!! 🤣🤣
Loved this video Dede. Love the new cabinet and the new light fixtures. It's hard to believe we are talking about Christmas decorating, my how time flies!!!
Thank you so much for being here, Karen! I am really loving the light fixtures! Who would’ve thought a few lights would make such a big difference! Thank you so much for watching and you are right Christmas will be here before we know it! Time waits for no one that’s for sure! Have a blessed weekend!
Hi DeDe, I loved this video! The changes are fantastic! The cabinet upstairs is perfect for that space and the artwork just sets it off beautifully! The new entry light just really brings the dining room and entry together so well since you see BOTH upon entering your home! Next year, I wanna come spend Halloween with your and the littles bc it looks like you had a lot of fun! Martina McBride can make me cry in just about every slow song she sings. What a blessing her voice is! I’m always so impressed with your ability to let things go. I would have thought of a million reasons why I needed to keep those items. 😅. I’m truly trying! I think it’s the teacher in me that wants to repurpose everything or think I will repurpose everything. I really have to watch myself bc there are a lot of really nice boxes this time of year that I’m trying not to hoard them! Thanks for sharing and answering my questions! Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Hey there, friend! First of all, I’m glad you like the home updates! I am so tickled with how everything looks! I have never been a person that has really paid attention to lighting that much, but I definitely have changed how I look at it now! Yes, the Littles and I had quite the celebrations! Oh, to be young and innocent again and all it takes is a few streamers and three balloons and your day is made!! You are right about Martina McBride , her voice is a definite blessing! Now, as far as this decluttering goes… It’s definitely growing on me! I understand your teacher genetics, some of my dearest friends are in education, and they are all about trying to repurpose something! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for being here Jen, I always feel encouraged and ready to tackle next weeks video after I read your comments! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!
Thank you so much, Linda for your sweet comment! That is so encouraging to me and I truly appreciate you watching! I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned for yourself! 🤍
Thank you, Donna! I am really happy with it! I was kind of worried about the artwork since I just ordered it from Amazon and didn’t see it in person! Sometimes things look much better online than when you get them, but this time it looked just as lovely in person as it did in the photos! Thanks so much for watching! 🤍
Did you do all of that in one day? My goodness! The new lights, furniture piece at the top of the stairs, and picture are all absolutely beautiful! As usual, great job on the decluttering. I almost always put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving and put everything away the day after Christmas. The holidays have really changed for me over the years and now I don't receive many gifts or have chances to celebrate with other people so I do simple things at home. It doesn't feel as magical as it used to but I am working on trying to change that bit by bit as I can. O Holy Night is my favorite, too and I LOVE Martina McBride's version of it. I also love Christmas in Kilarney by Anne Murray. At any rate, thanks for taking on us on the journey with you and I hope you have a great weekend.
Hello there Matt! I hope you are feeling better! Yes, sir it was all done in one day… a very long, extremely long day! Well, I am on a mission now … we’re gonna have to make these holidays a little bit more magical now for you! I have not heard of this song by Anne Murray, but I can assure you as soon as I hit send on this message, I am going to listen to it! I really do love Christmas music, it always puts me in such a great state of mind! I hope you have a great weekend and I will be checking back in here in a few moments to let you know what I think of the song you mentioned!
I just listened to it and I love it! I feel like I should be doing an Irish jig! it’s so upbeat and Peppy!! Thank you so much for sharing and introducing me to something new!
Those new lights are truly beautiful...just quiet elegance! Also love the lighter cabinet upstairs. Getting rid of the heavy, dark tables made such a difference. I gave all of my Halloween decorations to my daughters last year and put out my Fall decor in October to use through Thanksgiving. Thanks for starting to go through Christmas decor. My husband felt we could do this when we put things out, but I would like to declutter from one bin at a time now, so decorating will be easier. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Joy! We are so happy with the lights! Just simple lines, not a lot of foo foo! I am so happy the dark tables are gone, and I can’t wait until the big dark bar cabinet is gone as wel! I think that’s very smart just decluttering one at a time! Not so overwhelming that way! Thank you so much for watching and just being you!
Dede loved your video well done with all the decluttering. The new cabinet and light fittings are beautiful it looks so much more lighter and brighter. Looking forward to your next video. Keep well love Sandra 💕💕
Thank you, Sandra! I’m glad you like the new cabinet and lights! We are really loving the changes! You keep well too, and can’t wait to hear from you next week! 🤗🤍
WOW DEDE! You are a decluttering queen! I took down my Halloween decor right away but I leave up some Fall stuff until Thanksgiving after dinner. Then Fall goes away and my grown grandkids start bringing out Christmas & put up the trees. We have 3 trees - all 3 ft tall tabletop variety. One is for the kitchen: mini kitchen appliances, utensils & food. #2 is all White House ornaments from the White House Historical Assn. and some patriotic balls, flags & such. This one sits on the buffet in the dining room. #3 is in the living room decorated with all our fragile glass ornaments and favorites from the past. They all have white lights.
Oh my goodness, Cynthia your trees sound amazing! I love how they all have a theme! I would love to see them! That sounds so cute to have a tree in the kitchen with little mini appliance ornaments and I have never seen a patriotic tree with White House ornaments! That sounds like a great idea to have the grandkids put them up! So much easier for you and yet what a great memory for everyone! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you’re having a great weekend!
Hi Sondra! Always so nice to hear from you! I’m glad to know I’m not the only crazy one that takes it down right away! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you’ve had a nice relaxing weekend!
Hi DeDe- I'm SO glad to hear I'm not the only one who takes the tree down the day after (or on) Christmas day- I'm just ready to reset and start the new year. I just finished decluttering and re organizing all the closets and the garage. All that's left is the storage room and I'll do that as I pull the Christas decor out. ( I think Sidney Poitier was in Lillies of the Field, if I'm not mistaken)
No, no ma’am, you are not the only one who has been known to take down Christmas right away! I am the same way. I am just ready to reset and start the year out with a simple clean slate! Sounds like you’ve been busy decluttering and you will start out the new year on the right foot!! There are actually two lilies of the field movies, in the 60s there was one with Sidney Poitier (I actually think he won an Academy award for it!) and then in the late 70s, they remade it with Billy Dee Williams. They are both amazing!
We do a big family gathering at my house Christmas Eve with my husband’s entire family. We do a non-traditional meal. Usually like tacos or something easy. We then do Christmas morning including brunch and presents just us and whomever decides to spend the night here. Anyone who stays gets a present Christmas morning (we buy a few extra general gifts for that purpose). We then do our big traditional meal Christmas Day late afternoon with my family (usually just my mom and her husband though) and my neighbors. It’s a lot but joyful.
Hi Maria!! Thank you so so much! I’m glad you liked the video! I am starting my Christmas decorating right now as a matter of fact! I like to have it all down before the new year too! I like to start the new year off with a nice clean slate! I love Christmas, but it can be kind of chaotic with all of the extra stuff out! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great week!
Hi Brad! You are not late at all! I absolutely love Mary did you know, by Pentatonix! It’s amazing! Thank you so much for watching and being here for me!!
Oh too funny, I knew when your said your countdown to Christmas had a mouse ,exactly which one you have ! I also have it and I had it when my kids were little. My youngest is slmost 44. One of my favorites for Christmas!
That little countdown has been around for so long! I just look at it and it makes me happy and takes me back to when my kids were little! My goodness I used to squabble over whose turn it was to move the mouse. They had to switch and take turns and move the mouse every other day! They still talk about it to this day! 🤍
...I am here my sweet friend! I am late to the Party, lol.. ! .. which is unusual but sometimes it happens ! Can't wait to see what is happening today at My Big Tidy Up!😊
...Awww.. ! 😊 Thank you !! First ,I have to say that you did SO MUCH ...wow! ..That was a list of Accomplishments indeed ! I really like the new Furniture piece.,and the Artwork...it looks so lovely together and really does " lighten up " that area,as you stated.... I was laughing so much, about the " 52,000 pieces " of putting together Furniture.... 😅😂...That is n o t my jam, not my forte`... lol.. I do not do well at that ! ,..I'm on Team Dede ...if it has more than 10 pieces..... I will get help with it or pay someone, lol. The lighting looks great also ,what a fortunate fi nd !! I was smiling a lot when I saw the Basement and all the fun Décor... I bet that was such fun for the Littles and created Cherished times and Memories. .. they grow so quickly. ..and now the Blessing of a new Little to add to those Memories. 😊🩵 77 Ornaments, and all those items..... Girrrrrllll ,you definitely were on a mission with all that !! Such an enjoyable Video - as ALWAYS! - Thank you for sharing all the Home Updates and more Inspiration to start looking forward to the Holiday Season in December. .. .✨️🙂😊🎄.....Sending Good thoughts from here to there for A lovely Weekend, sweet friend! 🙌🏻🤍😊🤗 Oh !P.S. ~ I was re- watching last week's Video ,and... my " update Comment ' is missing g, e v e n though I know it posted at the time ! I had no idea , so I'll probably re- write it because that is " not ok " ,lol. 😊💻
@texasstardust6010 you are the absolute best! I appreciate you so much, friend! Yes, a lot of fun was had for the fall holidays! More fun for Christmas and new year ahead! I’m glad you like the new updates upstairs! I feel like the cabinet and artwork give out a modern, peaceful vibe! I really would love to get rid of the big dark brown bar cabinet up there as well, stay tuned because I am on a mission!
Hello ( my gosh I missed the O had to edit, I don't talk like that 🤐) DeDe ! I haven't even gotten decorated for Fall & it's over ?!?!?! LOL I'm always ready for Christmas decorating . I was trying not to get the Christmas out yet. But I love the lights so I was going to get a couple pre-lit fall & Christmas garland to make my mind happy. You go girl on the declutter . I declutter all of out Christmas 8 years ago , only kept sentimental thing . I can't decorate much & it made me depressed to have it reminding me what I couldn't do 😉. 25:54 corner advice 😲🤯 LOL Oh no . There was a lot of pieces UH OH . CHEATER enlisting hubby 🤣! I recorded me putting my cabinet together it's not pretty but I did it all on my own . We like a lot of the same Christmas movies & music ... I'm SHOCKED lol . Beautiful cabinet with the picture you chose 🥰 Very pretty light updates LOVE THEM. I think Monday I'll order the garland I've been lusting after 😆😆 great video , thank you for the inspiring share & Fun Fact about DeDE 🤗😘 Have a wonderful weekend , love you friend!!!
Hello friend.. yes ma’am I am a cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater. I got the hubs to help! I am not mechanical at all and I definitely can’t do it very quickly! If I hadn’t got his help, this would’ve been a three day video process that’s for sure!! 🤣 I definitely think you should order the pre-lit garland! If it makes your mind happy, it will definitely be worth it! We need Coleen to have a happy mind!!! 🧠 love you to the moon and back! Have an amazing weekend, you deserve only the best!
Hey Dede! Great video! And great job. I love it all. The art work ties it all together. The new lights are perfect. When we built ours many moons ago, we had so many “boob lights” everywhere. Builders must have gotten a god deal on those. We’ve since changed them all out. Even in closets lol. I love the entry light. Small or not so small things makes such a difference! Enjoy them. I hope to hear some good news soon on your new “arrival”. Have a great weekend. See you next week friend!😘
Hello there, Grace! Thank you!! I thought the artwork was a perfect match and pulled all of the colors! I ordered it from Amazon so sometimes when you don’t see things in person, it’s hard to tell! I consider it a win! that’s funny about your nickname for the lights! I never thought about it like that but now that you’ve said it, I can’t un see it!!! 🤣🫣 I think you’re right about builders getting a good deal on them! They definitely put a lot of them in this house! I will keep you posted on our new arrival! I think we’ve got another month left to go! Thanks so much for watching and supporting me and see you next week !
Hi there!👋🏼 you do remember correctly, there is one upstairs and in the basement! I agree with you I think less is more. The older I get, the less I seem to want or need! If I get anything, it will definitely be a very small one, right now I still don’t have one and if I don’t get one that is perfectly fine! Thanks so much for tuning in and letting me know you are here! Have a great weekend!
You don’t like to keep anything fall up for Thanksgiving? I always do my Christmas stuff Thanksgiving weekend. I host thanksgiving so I do leave up fall but Halloween stuff is removed as soon as Halloween’s over.
Hi Trish! I used to keep things up for Thanksgiving all the time, but now since I decorate Christmas a little earlier, I usually don’t. it really depends on home for Thanksgiving or not.🤷🏻♀️☺️ thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment and let me know you are here!! 🤗
I have to say I really enjoy your channel and level of organization. It’s a breath of fresh air to see but also the reality of maintenance so things don’t eventually over flow. And I like how you also update and change things up as you decide you need a change or something is no longer working and of course making everything pretty. It’s just goes to show a home that looks organized does still take upkeep and work to stay that way.
Oh my goodness, Trish, you have made my day! Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my channel so happy you found me! Yes, it definitely takes maintenance. I think people think decluttering and organizing is a one time job, but it’s not… not in my home anyway!!
Hi Friends! How is your November going? Mine has started off nicely!
In today’s video, I do some home updates, a reset and start getting prepared for the upcoming holidays! I put away decor and get my home ready to start decorating! I also end up with a pretty big declutter too! That’s always a bonus! Thanks so much for being here!
Great video. We eat turkey before we decorate for Christmas. Have an awesome weekend, beautiful friend!

Wow Dede! Great choice on everything the cabinets and lights wow what a transformation! ❤
Thank you so much! We are so excited with the changes! Thank you so much for tuning in and taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment!! 🤗
You’re so sweet. Your videos are fun to watch. I started to decorate my husband loves to decorate to and picking out food for the holidays. 🎄⛄️❄️🎁🪆

Thank you Khrystie! Always good to see your name pop up!! 🙌🏼
@MyBigTidyUp thanks. Glad to be here.
Hey Dede! Great video! And great job. I love it all. The art work ties it all together. The new lights are perfect. When we built ours many moons ago, we had so many “boob lights” everywhere. Builders must have gotten a god deal on those. We’ve since changed them all out. Even in closets lol. I love the entry light. Small or not so small things makes such a difference! Enjoy them. I hope to hear some good news soon on your new “arrival”. Have a great weekend. See you next week friend!😘
Hello there, Grace! Thank you!! I thought the artwork was a perfect match and pulled all of the colors! I ordered it from Amazon so sometimes when you don’t see things in person, it’s hard to tell! I consider it a win! that’s funny about your nickname for the lights! I never thought about it like that but now that you’ve said it, I can’t un see it!!! 🤣🫣 I think you’re right about builders getting a good deal on them! They definitely put a lot of them in this house! I will keep you posted on our new arrival! I think we’ve got another month left to go!
Thanks so much for watching and supporting me and see you next week !
I don't think you need a Christmas tree in the den. If I remember correctly, there is one downstairs and one upstairs. I think less is more.
Hi there!👋🏼 you do remember correctly, there is one upstairs and in the basement! I agree with you I think less is more. The older I get, the less I seem to want or need! If I get anything, it will definitely be a very small one, right now I still don’t have one and if I don’t get one that is perfectly fine! Thanks so much for tuning in and letting me know you are here! Have a great weekend!
You don’t like to keep anything fall up for Thanksgiving? I always do my Christmas stuff Thanksgiving weekend. I host thanksgiving so I do leave up fall but Halloween stuff is removed as soon as Halloween’s over.
Hi Trish! I used to keep things up for Thanksgiving all the time, but now since I decorate Christmas a little earlier, I usually don’t. it really depends on home for Thanksgiving or not.🤷🏻♀️☺️ thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment and let me know you are here!! 🤗
I have to say I really enjoy your channel and level of organization. It’s a breath of fresh air to see but also the reality of maintenance so things don’t eventually over flow. And I like how you also update and change things up as you decide you need a change or something is no longer working and of course making everything pretty. It’s just goes to show a home that looks organized does still take upkeep and work to stay that way.
Oh my goodness, Trish, you have made my day! Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my channel so happy you found me! Yes, it definitely takes maintenance. I think people think decluttering and organizing is a one time job, but it’s not… not in my home anyway!!
That is Sidney Poitier in Lillies of the Field! Not Billy Dee Williams!
Sidney Poitier was the very first one, but there was a remake with Billy Dee Williams too. 🤍
I think the first one was in the 60s and Billy D’s was in 1979
