What a cute place! And I love your little visitor 🐾
Wow...could watch & listen to that beautiful body of water all day. Thank you kindly, Diane. You a such a hope in these times. I appreciate you & your content, time, expertise, peaceful demeanor, fun outlook & always letting us know there's hope. Much love & respect from St. Johns, Michigan.
That Swedish cottage! How I love when you take us there! It's just such an inviting, cozy, peaceful looking home. Makes me happy to "go" there. :)
This was featured aging today. I rewatched it so fun. I wonder if your neighbor kitty still comes to vist 2024❤
Even though you are away, you are still helping!
Thank you for the lovely video, Diane. My 2 favorite parts were how you encouraged us to only spend a limited time in each room tidying up. It sounds so basic, but when you're an overwhelmed overachiever, you can never hear this advice too much - lol! I also enjoyed the advice to take a small break at the end as part of self care. Keep up the good work!
Thx for the hug for those that need it. Love ur vids and you ALWAYS give me positivity and motivation. You ..hands down. Are my fav. UA-camr. I turned 53 in March. You. Help me to be the best I can be...or at least am striving toward. Lol.💕
Oh my goodness, SO timely for me! Okay: kitchen, bathrooms, living room-- and THEN bedrooms! This summer has been craaazyy, and I've *completely* fallen off my Flylady wagon; needed this so much! Thank youuu, Amazing Diane!! xoxox
P.S.
That pretty dressing gown is so T1, lol!! How do you like that? You were picking up T1 items back in the day without even realizing it!
Our "cabin" was about the size of your garden toolshed (seen through the windows), but set in a small lawn surrounded by a kitchen garden. I loved doing housework there because it was so straightforward and done in the dawn light to birdsong. It was lovely to see your cabin and to spend some time remembering how ours was. Thank you.
Back in Wales putting one foot in front of another after delay at airport missing a whole night's sleep. I achieved a lot today renewing car insurance and tax ,shopping paperwork and arranging appointments that could not wait until tomorrow. We took the time to have lunch out as there was absolutely nothing in the fridge. It should have been called planning and play day and errand day today but there is still quite a lot of arrangements to be made in the morning . I unpacked suitcases but I have many clothes on hangers in the bedroom. I did not complete my weekly homeblessing but managed a quick hoover around . We are pretty exhausted. Your video today was very welcomed by me and really practical for me. Thank you for yet another great flylady video. I will really miss being close to the sea this summer but am planning to use the local heated lido for swimming. Love from a very tired Margaret in Wales
Sending you some sun, Margaret!
This video was just what I needed. I've been on holiday with my family and on returning.. BOOM.. suitcases to unpack, heaps of washing and food shopping to do and back to work. Felt totally overwhelmed yesterday and this has just centered me. Thanks so much Diane x
Lovely second home. The key, as you have shown, that I also do, is to keep clutter down every day. Home keeping shouldn't take longer than 10 to 15 minutes per day. If it does, then you have too much stuff. tfs 💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you for reminder to use timers. I get so much more done when I'm focused. That is a lovely vacation home!
Another video that made me feel like I went with you on a trip. Thank you for the vacation tips and showing us around. Especially the beach!
You are very welcome, Amy! Being beside the sea is my happy place 😍
You always get me motivated with your advice, but the ocean view at the end. I could literally watch 5 min of just that. Vacation courtesy of Diane!
Gorgeous! Lovely! And: You are really motivating us! Your videos are an inspiration!
My husband (he’s American) lived for 5 years in Sweden and they were some of the most fond memories of his life! He’d love to see this video.
Not long til your big move! And then you will be close to Sweden and can visit! 😍
@@DianeinDenmark yes!!! My husband officially has the job in Munich now!! We are SO EXCITED! Oh my gosh! We used to live in France (for two years) and toured all over Europe while there but I never visited Copenhagen. We made it to Belgium and Luxembourg, but for some reason, never went to Denmark! I don't know why! Anyway, seriously, I'm going to come visit you. I want to see Copenhagen. We didn't visit the Netherlands either. :( But we did see many other beautiful places. And if you're ever in Bavaria, Austria, or Switzerland, you can visit us, too!
Diane I just noticed the design of your dining chairs is very Charles Rennie Macintosh 🤣💛
We have a wee cabin that we go to unwind and I’m grateful for it. Being low tech and minimal is key for us.
I'm finally feeling better after my mammoth coldy thing and was thinking...oh my, how do I get everything back under control....so this was EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you ✨💕 . I'm back on the 31 babysteps today (after finishing yesterday!) but am adding in a WHB, so I'm hoping that will cover it, but I know what I miss out today I can do a quick 5 or 10 mins in each room tomorrow and keep putting one foot in front of the other....you wee bathroom so reminded me of my 'wicked' stepmother No.3, Helle, who lived in a beautiful apartment in a very old block in Bronshoj....perfectly formed like yours and with gorgeous aqua mosaic tiles....and a kitchen smaller than your cabin! Happy days, thanks for rekindling wonderful memories😍 . Enjoy your time at the cabin xx
Very good explanation Diane! After a week long vacation and then immediately upon return doing 2 days of food prep for a wedding party my house was ...yikes! So I pulled out my timer and did exactly what you described. Been flying a long time so I knew this was the only way to tackle the job without feeling overwhelmed or defeated.
Thank you Diane for your forever encouragement and upbeat attitude!! I love you and your love for us continues to show. I am going to do this today as I had company for the 4th of July- my amazing 7 grandchildren and their 4 parents. So much fun, but I got behind. 😊😘. You are the best!!
You are so wonderful. You always do these just when I need it. Thanks
Love it Diane! What a great surprise video! Did Steph know in advance you were meeting her mum? If not that would be a mindblowing surprise! Either way, so lovely to see you both happy in each other's company and wow, 31'C!! I would have jumped straight in that water!! Hope you are chilling this week after all the excitement. Niamh in Dublin xx
Steph told me her Mum would be in Copenhagen and I said I would love to take her out for coffee. Such a nice time! 😃
✋great idea! The house isn't awful but I can always use 5 extra minutes to just straighten up!!
Hah!! I have those exact same IKEA pillows. And I am across the pond. Now...I've got to find that ⏲️!
Oh Diane, thank you for this. I know you have a lot of fans (yay!) but I felt like you were talking with me directly. It's so nice to be back after a stressful time seeing your beautiful face cheering me (all of us) on.
Hugs coming your way, my friend! 💖💖💖
Diane in Denmark ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was watching this and thinking it would be chilly to go swimming when it is just in the 60's F..or around 19 degrees Celsius. But then quickly realized, that might feel warm to you :) Growing up, swimming was chilly if it was under 80 degrees F (26 C ).
The cabin, so peaceful and lovely. You have kept it up beautifully! I love your bathrobe, so T1 even.
Your haircut is adorable
Thank you for sharing the sights and sounds of the sea with us landlubbers. 😉 It's always the first thing I want to do whenever I visit my daughter on the Central Coast of California - we head straight for the beach! Your Swedish cabin by the sea is adorable and so is its feline visitor. My sweet Tia is sitting in my lap and watches your videos with me. 🤗🐱
What a lovely summer cabin. Great tips about the tidying in 15 minutes
I enjoyed seeing what I think is knotted pine furniture? It gives your lovely cabin a homey feeling. Today is a good day for me to follow your advice about the timer; I had a lovely weekend but almost no time at home so it’s a bit of a wreck.
Just what I needed at the end of this day. And "self care" find this the hardest to fit in so busy trying to get back on track or working when unexpected happens. Thank you for your uplifting video.
I needed to see this today after a weekend spent celebrating my husband's 50th birthday. I'm working from home today, so I'm going to do what I can in short 5 minute stints. It may take me a few days but I'm sure I'll get things ship shape again with your help. Thank you! x
Enjoy your break, Diane, best wishes from this Oregon girl residing in England! It wasn't nearly as hot here over the weekend as forecasted, thank goodness, so I'm happy. The humidity has dropped, which helps everything!
And yes, I know how British it is to discuss the weather! LOL ENJOY!
A very nice video Diane. Your cabin is very pretty, nice that you have a get away place to relax. Going to work on my place now. I taught high schoolers this morning in the states, so now time for me😉 Enjoy rest of your day.
Enjoy your "me" time, Toni!
Thank you for sharing the sound of the water, so beautiful. Your cabin is beautiful! Happy July. 👒🎇🎉
Thank you I feel so over whelmed can't seem to keep on top of cleaning. I lack motivation. I will try your ideas
I needed this exact video today! Thank you so much for taking your time to make these and help all of us!
Phew, last weekend we hosted 35 people and 3 dogs for the family reunion...everyone got a an Airbnb so it was all go all weekend. Now the house needs a flylady cleaning, bit by bit I'm winning. I set the timer and do my chores plus put all the company dishes, platters, cups etc etc away until next time. The pool is calling me so have fun everyone, remember they come to see you not the housekeeping.
I have the same clock but in bright green, which I bought since watching your 31 baby steps videos, so I can set a timer for 15min.
Thanks Diane, again it was perfect timing and felt like you were talking to me. Like another commenter said my type 3 energy (finally the penny dropped and I realised I am a T3!) makes me burnout. But these days I'm having trouble just getting started. I am doing S&S and LOL but dishes have me overwhelmed. Just cooking and cleaning up 3 meals a day feels like a fulltime job in itself. I know I need to be realistic and pace myself, and will get at least the kitchen tackled tonight. 2 kids birthday parties in our house in the next 2 days and I'm wondering how we will manage!!😂😅
Love the sound of that water! Hugs to you too. Dolly
Enjoy your summer cabin. The ocean looks amazing! My grandfather was from Norway and he loved the ocean😎
Great vid to start July Diane! Thanks for sharing 🌸
You are so motivating! I love your videos! :) Hugs from Romania
❣️Hi, Diane, JUST what I needed including the waves of the ocean and the hug. Wonderful cabin! And you don’t have to cycle to the sea, the beach must be near!! Love, Monika❣️
Love it all! Thank you! ❤️
Awwwww Di your cabin is lovely. What a lovely fruitful life you lead . Thankyou for your knowledge and advice and for sharing your beautiful homes x
Thanks for the hug 💞😁
Grattis till 30.000 sub, du är verkligen grym, tillykke! Kram Jannike
Tack, snälla Jannike!
So lovely. You are so blessed and a blessing 🤗 love your new sun glasses 😎 enjoy your time away.
Rah, rah, rah! Congratulations on 30,000 subscribers. You are helping and encouraging so many people.
Hands up here! My type 3 energy makes me feel like pushing past the hour of reason. Fly lady system helps me keep things reasonable so I can get on with the fun stuff and important people. It's a beautiful day here in Chicago and i am dressed to flip flops for the beach. May the beach hygge be with you all today!!! BTW, go team Sweden and go team USA in the Women's World Cup soccer quarterfinals! 🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪🇺🇸🇸🇪❤
You have a lovely cabin. Enjoy, Diane!!💕 Isn't it just wonderful living near the beach!😃 I did for a few year and it was so nice.
This was such great timing! I returned from a hectic few days at my grandfather's for his 89th birthday, and the house is in disarray. I'll be doing 7 minutes in each of our 6 rooms, with a fun podcast episode to listen to. Hope you enjoyed Sweden! Borta bra men hemma bäst. I lived in Helsingborg until I was 21, and absolutely love the ocean.
EDIT: I did it! One hour later, and my home feels cozier, I feel better about it, and I'm now treating myself to a late lunch. I'll be doing this tomorrow too!
Well done, Elisabeth!
❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing and your wonderful tips. I am appreciative!
Diane I love your cabin it looks so cozy!
Your videos bring me such joy!
Back to basics-I needed this. Lovely summer home.
Thanks for motivating me. I am new to this.
Lena in Sweden
Thank you for the tour of your cosy Swedish house. I love the wood floors, I can feel the hygge!!!
Beautiful location by the ocean. I like your cottage too. So cosy and clean :-)
Cute! How far away is it from your home? Can you see the water from any of the windows? I’d want to be there all the time 😊
I love neighbor's cat! I love the ocean! Beautiful! Always love your videos!
Good MorningDiane in Denmark , Looking Beautiful this 1st of July 2019 .
Happy Day .
Thanks for keeping me in line ...💗
I love your Swedish cabin! So fresh and clean with the natural wood and white. Thank you for the hug at the end because I am nervous about a doctor appointment today. Enjoy your swim.
Rah, rah, rah! Thank you Diane 💃
You answered my questions on cleaning your home in Sweden from last month.
I love the view & sound of the ocean! Enjoy!! 🧜♀️
For me is hard to get.back on track whrn family visits for a wek or so... usually my inlaws take over some task. and i get unsused to, and the floor gets forgotten when we a lot of traffic... other than that we manage, but whrn they are gons is reset time on basics, the kitchen, bathroom, floors and laundry... afeter that I get back to the notmal FL schedule... specially bec our house is mostly decluttered and puting things back in place is so much easier. So, see you... I am back to reset work... by for now :)
I was thinking about the way you clean the kitchen and iron I have been washing everything sink is clean and ironing is done looks good feels good. Have a fantastic day
Hugs to the cat too
Hi Diane! I accomplished my first (after the initial declutter) weekly home blessing! I just started last week and my home is so very much better!
Yay, go Karen!
I love your hair like that!
This is perfect. It gives me a good idea what to do on vacation. Hippy.
How big is cabin. So pretty. Do u skinnydip there as well?
I wear a costume here, winterbathing is a Danish custom.
I wondered what the routine would be when at a vacation home. Nice, hygge getaway!
I like the "Charles Rennie McIntosh" dining chairs ! Jean x
You would love our Australian beaches Diane.
What if the rooms are not finished after the initial 15 minutes?
Do the remaining rooms tomorrow. They're not going anywhere :) and if you feel bad about having missed them today, that'll help you to speed up tomorrow.
I just start again after a break or the next day. If you focus first on the decluttering part, it really does make tidying up easier in the long run. 👍🏽
Just do what you can and move onto the next room
It's about not getting overwhelmed
Why does flylsdy clean the windows only inside?
When outside (modt dirt)
Suse
Inside cleaning of windows can be done as part of your Weekly Home Blessing (the short upkeep clean). Outside cleaning of windows can be done as Zone work.
@@DianeinDenmark merci
Det ser sååå svenskt ut 😉
Thanks 🌴🍉 jocina Kujna 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
I need somebody to take my house in hand for me, I think. A couple of weeks ago, my son gave us an absolutely enormous television. It's so big that we had to relocate about 3 cubic feet of stuff and I literally have nowhere to put it. Now please understand, decluttering makes me feel terribly anxious due to an incident when I accidentally threw out a necessary legal paper connected to our home mortgage, so now it takes a monumental effort for me to declutter or - heaven help me - reorganize. I didn't even want this thing, but my husband loves it. In fact, he started planning on an even bigger one. To do that, we'd have to get rid of half the furniture out of our living room. 🤯 And please don't tell me to stifle my frustration; that kind of stuff drove me to divorce hubby #1. I wasn't allowed to criticize him, so I finally just walked out. I'm a minimalist by nature; I can't stand a lot of complexity in my environment or feeling like I'm being overpowered by stuff, whether it's the amount or size. Size hasn't ever been a problem before but this giant tv thing makes me feel panicky in the worst kind of way.
I'm so sorry to hear your predicement. I've been gifted things that weren't appropriate and eventually got rid of them. But, since your DH is so thrilled with it, maybe it can be relocated to another place or maybe basement/garage?.You aren't criticizing by stating your opinions. Good luck, God bless.
We have a really big television and it is wall mounted. It sits flat on the wall but can swing out at an angle so that you can see it from different parts of the room.
It did take a bit of getting used to but it freed up space where the old one used to sit.
Hope your DH is Handy with a drill and screwdriver.
You look great even at the cottage ....The Wife
