Prayers needed big time. So furious we still don't know type. They said metastasized carcinoma origin unknown. So we are back to our Dr removing the lump on his neck and doing a 3rd biopsy. He will be putting the port in at the same time so that they can type the cancer. Then ONCE we know the type the MRI and PET scans can be done. Then once all that is done we can start chemo.
Praying for you Teddie❤ I went through all this with my husband. My heart goes out to you sweet friend as you deal with all uncertainties. Stay positive and have faith. Sending love from Michigan, Carrie
Praying for you both that you are covered by a peace that surpasses all understanding and supernatural healing 🙌🏼 thanking God in advance for His miracle working power!
Great video! One tip for going through clothes: put all of the hangers the opposite way with the open part of the hook facing towards you. When you wear something and hang it back up, reverse the hanger. That way when you go through your clothes you can tell right away what you no longer wear.
So impressed with how much you’ve grown you can definitely tell your sticking to your goals for this year of making your home the best it can be! You always give me the motivation to get up and get things done because i know once it’s finished I’ll be glad i did it ! Thank you for sharing your life with us and being a best friend ❤️also do you plan on decorating for Easter? If so would you show us? Easter and Christmas are my favorite holidays and decorations so i love getting ideas from other people 😁❤️
We grew up poorer than a lot of others. This makes me want to hoard everything I have because I know what it’s like to have less that every piece is hard to let go of now. I feel like I’m throwing away money. Also my weight goes up and down so I have two or three sets of sizes I dream of fitting in again. It’s enough to make anyone crazy. But I try. Lol. I give to people in need or we’ll have a group yard sale to help encourage decluttering. Loved this video! I definitely need to do a deep spring cleaning in my closet this year.
Thanks Marina, I had a really bad day and you turned me around. You always talk about how god has a calling for you. Today it was for you to keep me calm in a time where I was feeling a little alone and over whelmed. It is the small things in life that matters sometimes.
Wow, Merina! Great job! It's so hard to let things go in the beginning, but once you get going and realize how freeing it is, it becomes so much easier, doesn't it? Whoot-whoot! Way to go! ❤️
I have tried to watch this video three times….Lord my babies needed their momma. Well now sitting down eating dinner and watching my girl! Another good one!
I live in a similar size home and we had extra food stored literally everywhere but then we found these rolling flat bins that go under the bed it was a complete game changer 🙌🏼
Need the motivation to start spring cleaning this week! Twice a year I empty out every closet, cabinet, and room and clean really well and my only rule is LESS things have to go back in each space. Then in 6 months I can really see what I have used and not!
I got rid of all my plastic hangers. I purchased some at Sam's and more at Ross' All of the hangers are metal hooks and non-slip covering. These take up less room than plastic, they're sturdier and having all of them matching makes the closet look neater.
I'm watching the floral print sayin' "donnnnt you touch it!" Lol It really helped me to get a dresser and put undies, socks, bras, and "house clothes" (t shirts, leggings, sweats, on tops and bottoms) and to hang up my "going out" clothes. Once it gets cramped I purge. I used to buy a piece and donate an old. But that switched to couple of month purge. And over time I narrowed down my stuff to colors, like what color I like to wear to look put together more so, sort of works, at least for my going out closet. Also, for those favorite shirts(mine being band shirts) I save them to make a quilt or something later. Also a hope chest makes for a good memory box. My purses I put in my one big tote bag. Maybe some ideas there, maybe not. Till we got a big enough room the dressers were in the closet. Him and I could easily fit into a tall 6 drawer. Hope all is well. I love giving stuff away to buddies after cleaning lol.
Currently rewatching all your videos and just watched the one where y’all bought your first brand new washer and dryer and you talked about not switching up on your subscribers, you’ve always stayed true to that much love to your whole family ❤️
@@veronicarivera2675 I've been wanting to watch that video. I love their fireplace! It looks so warm and cozy! I have a wood fireplace in my front room but want to add an electric fireplace to my backroom.
Girl.... I remember the last closet organization you did. Haha!! Now that you have your bed on a frame, get some storage that fits under it. Maximize the space you do have! Love you! 💚
You should make a bench with storage at the end of your bed to store blankets, sheets and other bed stuff. Love your commitment with keeping up with stuff and dedication. Also helps with you have someone supporting, great job Shane.
Great job Merina! It always feels so good to declutter and have a clean space. Just a suggestion… you should remove the door to your closet and put up a curtain rod or even use a tension rod and hang a curtain panel up! Will make your closet feel and look a lot bigger. I did that to one of my closets and I love it
That was an AMAZING declutter Girly! I love y'all! I always can count on my day being better when I watch y'all! Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine & angel of God!
I so look forward to your videos! You have such a positive attitude! Ive been re-watching older videos and you and Shane have worked so hard! The transformation in your home is AMAZING 🤩 , but honestly your personality and family are why Im hooked ❤️
Merina you are an inspiration to me and a lot of other people. You have got me motivated and this weekend I will be tackling our master closet which has not been decluttered in at least 6 or 7 years. Thanks for being the wonderful person and friend that you are!!
Great job Marina! I am so proud of you and your are really inspiring me to go through my closet and declutter!! I've been a nice person and stored my ex husband's stuff for about 6 years now and I think it's time to bag it & tag it...if he doesn't want it, it goes to Goodwill!
Laughed waaay too hard when you said "It looks like I live between the alligator and the giraffe and it cost two dollars to feed me pellets" 😂 You have such a way with words! I love your videos.
Hey Girl! I am watching while babysitting my niece and making a baby blanket for a very sweet baby boy who was almost 3 months premature and is now home! God is good!
This was totally motivation for me! I struggle with decluttering too! I live in a small apartment so pairing down is a necessity every so often. I struggle the most with going through my daughter's clothes. She is 4 months old and is growing like a weed. Keeping up on her current sizes is definitely a challenge!
Roll tide!!! You are absolutely right that Alabama fans are the nicest folks out there ;) I absolutely love to watch you and your family, so encouraging!
I so wanted to help you! 😂 So proud for y’all!! A few months back I decluttered my husband and my closet. Leaving only clothes that fit and we like wearing. Went from can’t walk-in to the closet to empty space and organized area. Felt so good. And added bonus of giving the items away for someone else to enjoy.
Sorry I forget to say I love in Wales United kingdom. Your positivity and faith helped me though a bad depression and I look forward to your video's just to spend time with you
Awesome declutter!! I’m in the process of cleaning and decluttering in preparation of a bathroom remodel. We are converting our master bath into a handicap accessible bath for my husband. Someone is coming in to do it for us and not gonna lie I am completely overwhelmed. Thanks for the motivation.
We are also doing a master bathroom remodel. Total gut job! You’re right, it’s very overwhelming. We’ve done most of the work ourselves which is exhausting! I’m ready to be done so that the boxes that are holding our stuff can finally leave my bedroom! Good luck with your remodel! 🙂
😃 You’re hilarious! My favorite line in this video? When Merina says, “Cos the first thing you wanna do when the world’s endin’ is make ya a bowl of ramen noodles…..”. Hahahahaha. I love you girl! Another great encouraging and inspirational video.
Merina, I switched all my plastic hangers for those thin flocked type. I use all the same color for a more uniform look. Will never go back. You are able to hang more clothes, the hangers take up less space, and the clothes don't slide off. Another idea for your pantry items in your closet is to remove packaging and buy some clear plastic drawers so you can still see what you have, it's easy to access, and looks organized.
Girl, I am a bedside nurse and have been thru the pandemic. I am weary from the suffering and dying. Today, we sent an other person to heaven. That being said, your videos bring me great joy. This one made me absolutely laugh out loud. Thank you! PS, the zebras sweater with purple sleeves needs to go, it doesn't do you justice, unless, it brings joy.
Another great inspiration video. You really bring inspiration to many of us and it's been a privilege to watch you grow and better yourself and your home. Dont stop doing it. And one thing I've learned is we (moms and wifes) we have to take care of ourselves. When we feel better and look better it pours into our family and home. Much love!!!
I've used those zip lock storage bags that you suck the air out with your vacuum to save extra blankets, pillows and such. They are under my bed, and you can't even tell. Saves so much room!
I can’t wait to watch your first video when you get a doublewide! If anyone deserves it, it’s you! You’re my favorite channel to watch! You put me in such a great mood.
Years ago I lived in a mobile home and had space issues so I bought heavy duty bins and stored things under the trailer on pallets. I just made sure to keep the critters away. It worked out great.
Terrific job Merina. For your next closet video maybe consider all matching hangers and (from my work training in clothing department stores) consider spacing your hangers evenly by putting your finger between each hanger. Also, like the clothing stores, put similar items together or sort by color. It truly has a calming effect and makes getting ready so much easier.
Every single time I watch you, I know that I am going to laugh out loud at least once. And I’m one of those people that rarely laughs out watching anything. Even if I think it is funny. You bring joy into my day. Even when I’m having a bad day. So, thank you!!!!!!!
I find it you make outfits and add them to same hanger it saves space too. Like shirt over pants and for winter time sweater over them or over sweat pants. Or space bag season trade out as season changes. Love you all and looks great.
Hello, another great video. I have a small place as well with limited closet space so what I have done is get some bins with lids that fit under my bed and have stuff stored like my tools and movies and extra clothes and such. You could get the vacuum seal bags and shrink down your seasonal clothes then put them in a bin and store under the bed to save space. That way you have more space in closet. Also any extra wood laying around have Shane take the top of the plastic storage drawers and trace it on the wood, cut and sand the wood then place to plastic top back on the drawers and put wood on top of that to keep from collapsing. Hope some of these tips help.
Cannot wait to see the closet makeover, you guys purged a lot of stuff! It is always a great feeling to do so. I make myself go through stuff once a month, I just pick different areas that are looking clustered and go to town. It helps so much. Thanks for the motivation!!
Have you considered getting a small shed to store your seasonal decor, tools, ladder, etc? If you did that, you'd have space in your home to store the extra food. just a thought.
@@fearfullycreated it really does get easier. I recently decluttered and the more I did it the more I just wanted to get rid of everything. I did the kitchen and kept only the things I really use all the time and now my cabinets are neater. I love watching your videos. Definitely motivates me and makes me want to do more. Keep up The good work. 🥰
Fantastic. I look forward to phase 2. I am repeatedly amazed at the mental boost it gives me to declutter. Each time I do it I get more clear on how much I want to own and manage. I have all these chants I say out loud when decluttering. One is Be radical, for radical change.
I've recently decluttered my closet too! I didn't think I'd be ok with either throwing out or donating clothes and accessories, but it was pretty freeing! I have a tiny 8x10 room with a reach in closet, and two things that helped me save space the most were underbed storage organizers and one of those 6 shelf hanging shelf things for the closet. I was able to put 4 of the organizers under my bed, and let me tell you they hold a TON of stuff! Oh! And fabric cubes! I put 2 fabric cubes in my closet so I could just throw in shirts that I wear around the house, and I don't have to worry about folding them and taking up space in my dresser or closet. It's literally a grab and go. I hope somebody can use some of those ideas for their own closet organization!
Just an idea for Shane's tools...get him a rolling cart like the one you have beside the bed for your books. Maybe in his favorite color (like a father's day gift). It would help keep them all in one place. Love your videos. I feel like we are soul sisters. I grew up in the town where you live. It's a beautiful place to raise a family. God bless you and your family always!
You started in the front where all your clothes that you have worn most recent should be so it will be hard to get rid of them. The deeper you go into the closet the easier it will be to get rid of stuff you haven’t seen or used in so long. Love your attitude. You have motivated me. ❤️
Shane’s “don’t fit the belly test no more” 🤣 I wish more men and women made clothes decisions on that! A few suggestions. 1. Sheets/blankets- if the kiddos have closets, keep their extra sheets/blankets on the shelf in their closets or if their beds are high enough, put in shallow, rolling, under bed storage bins- this opens up more storage in your closet. 2. Out of season clothes- place in storage bins- again, get the shallow, rolling, under bed bins, this way you have more room for your food overflow on your closet shelves. 3. Think of creating a capsule wardrobe for all of you- it helps to minimize your clothes but also be able to mix and match for multiple outfit; just search for capsule wardrobe on YT for women, men and children- just remember that some of the YT videos will show high end clothes but just take the ideas buy from the stores you normally shop at. You are doing an amazing job. May Fod’s blessing continue to rain down upon you and your family.
Looks so good marina. I just finished a bathroom makeover even painted and it's a big bathroom. New shower curtain. It only took me 3 1/2 years to do it. Well I can't count 2 years of that time because I lived with my dad for a little over 2 years because he was sick. He passed away November 24th 2019. Well so I have been putting it off all of the past years. I have such a problem with feeling overwhelmed with things so I keep putting it off. But I'm so glad I got it done. I'm doing my bedroom now. Well not now but it's a project I'm starting in a few days. I dread it so much, but I know I'm going to love it when it's done. Hugs
Merina, you did a great job decluttering and cleaning out your closet! It looks great now, and your bedroom is gorgeous! I love your comforter in your bed! It's just beautiful 😊💕❤
You are doing a fantastic job marina. We are working throughout the house I’ve got the top of the kids closet left to do tomorrow in one room of the kids room is done the other one will get done the next day my room today after that it’s very minimalize clutter decluttering and it’s just getting rid of clothing and organizing some things. We are doing a major overhaul on the basement a lot of decluttering clothing wise in the basement to get rid of older clothing that the kids outgrew. After that we have very little left in the kitchen we have been decluttering since March of last year we are about 90% done
So I've just come across you and wow your energy is infectious. Like instant smile. Also the front of the closet will always have more keeps because that is where your most accessible clothes are that you always use
Please look into getting velvet hangers. You can fit more into one space, plus the clothes do not fall off. It's a great change in my closet. I always love your videos.
I forgot to give you a tip. After the colder weather I put the heavier clothes in vacuum bags. I buy them at the dollar tree. It makes them so much easier to store....love from Tavares Florida
Just another thought for you to consider is using space saver bags for bigger quilts or decorative pillows or out of season items. Great job as always!!!😍😍
Have you thought about building or buying stock cabinets to go over your washer & dryer for more storage? That's what my husband did in our small home. It helped a lot. I don't know how that could be done in a trailer but you guys are very creative so I know you can figure out anything. I enjoy all you do.
When I lived in a single wide I bought some nice heavy totes and stored some things under my trailer. Stuff like Christmas decorations or the heavy winter coats extra cleaning supplies. It helped so much! 💞
Great job decluttering. Happy to see that your brother could use some of the stuff. Also in regards to the food you have stored in your closet, what about installing a kitchen cabinet above your new freezer to store your can goods and dry goods that are in your closet.
I suggest getting some vacuum bags. Put extra blankets pillows in them. Plus you could change out your winter and summer clothes. Saves some room. Just started watching.
Merina, 2 things. 1) Just decluter for 1 hr a day. Don't take all day. Start again the next day. 2) Hang pants: Fold once and hang 2 per hanger. Place discarded items in bag or box. Do not throw on the bed. Handle only once. Will the ladder go under the bed? Now, get an outside utility building.
I just feel proud of you and how you and Shane are raising your kids and making such a beautiful life together. Keep shining your light for Jesus. 💗 Valerie in SC
Prayers needed big time.
So furious we still don't know type. They said metastasized carcinoma origin unknown. So we are back to our Dr removing the lump on his neck and doing a 3rd biopsy. He will be putting the port in at the same time so that they can type the cancer.
Then ONCE we know the type the MRI and PET scans can be done. Then once all that is done we can start chemo.
COVERING HIM IN PRAYER FRIEND!❤️ every day at 1:00 EST I’m storming the gates of heaven for you both!!!

I still CANNOT believe how you transformed your bedroom. Completely different look . Just amazing 👏
Girl.... I remember the last closet organization you did. Haha!! Now that you have your bed on a frame, get some storage that fits under it. Maximize the space you do have! Love you! 💚
I put my bed frame on risers for easily sliding under bed storage containers 👍🏼
I use them risers in all my bedrooms, there amazing how much they help. Even if it’s for toys.
But I like them for switching out the seasonal clothes.
That's the way to go!!

Looks so much better! I feel less stressed as well when things are neat and in place. Looking forward to part 2.
I know it’s an extra expense but using felt hangers will significantly save you space! Can’t wait to see the makeover!
Loved this video! I understand feeling bad about getting rid of stuff but think of it this way, if you donate it, you're blessing someone else 💕
Merina you are just a ray of sunshine girl 🖤🐈⬛
To say you live in a singlewide mobile home, it is very roomy. You do a great job in keeping it neat and clean. Love it.
Hi marina,
You can get under bed storage containers or the vacuum sealed bags to store blankets or seasonal clothes to save space in the closet.
I can’t wait to watch your first video when you get a doublewide! If anyone deserves it, it’s you! You’re my favorite channel to watch! You put me in such a great mood.

Hello, another great video. I have a small place as well with limited closet space so what I have done is get some bins with lids that fit under my bed and have stuff stored like my tools and movies and extra clothes and such. You could get the vacuum seal bags and shrink down your seasonal clothes then put them in a bin and store under the bed to save space. That way you have more space in closet. Also any extra wood laying around have Shane take the top of the plastic storage drawers and trace it on the wood, cut and sand the wood then place to plastic top back on the drawers and put wood on top of that to keep from collapsing. Hope some of these tips help.
Cannot wait to see the closet makeover, you guys purged a lot of stuff! It is always a great feeling to do so. I make myself go through stuff once a month, I just pick different areas that are looking clustered and go to town. It helps so much. Thanks for the motivation!!
Have you considered getting a small shed to store your seasonal decor, tools, ladder, etc? If you did that, you'd have space in your home to store the extra food. just a thought.
Girl you had me thinking this wasnt going to happen with all that “keeping” at first but you DID the Dadgum Thing!!!!! Go you. It looks fantastic.
Lol there was a major turn around at one pint and I just started chucking stuff 🤣🤣
@@fearfullycreated it really does get easier. I recently decluttered and the more I did it the more I just wanted to get rid of everything. I did the kitchen and kept only the things I really use all the time and now my cabinets are neater. I love watching your videos. Definitely motivates me and makes me want to do more. Keep up
The good work. 🥰
Fantastic. I look forward to phase 2. I am repeatedly amazed at the mental boost it gives me to declutter. Each time I do it I get more clear on how much I want to own and manage. I have all these chants I say out loud when decluttering. One is
Be radical, for radical change.
Hi Marina! Thankful for your bright smile today!!
Thank you for being here friend ❤️❤️
Hey hey everyone. Hope y’all have a great week. 2 of my boys could use a prayer 🙏🏼💟
I've recently decluttered my closet too! I didn't think I'd be ok with either throwing out or donating clothes and accessories, but it was pretty freeing! I have a tiny 8x10 room with a reach in closet, and two things that helped me save space the most were underbed storage organizers and one of those 6 shelf hanging shelf things for the closet. I was able to put 4 of the organizers under my bed, and let me tell you they hold a TON of stuff! Oh! And fabric cubes! I put 2 fabric cubes in my closet so I could just throw in shirts that I wear around the house, and I don't have to worry about folding them and taking up space in my dresser or closet. It's literally a grab and go. I hope somebody can use some of those ideas for their own closet organization!
Just an idea for Shane's tools...get him a rolling cart like the one you have beside the bed for your books. Maybe in his favorite color (like a father's day gift). It would help keep them all in one place. Love your videos. I feel like we are soul sisters. I grew up in the town where you live. It's a beautiful place to raise a family. God bless you and your family always!
You started in the front where all your clothes that you have worn most recent should be so it will be hard to get rid of them. The deeper you go into the closet the easier it will be to get rid of stuff you haven’t seen or used in so long. Love your attitude. You have motivated me. ❤️
Shane’s “don’t fit the belly test no more” 🤣 I wish more men and women made clothes decisions on that! A few suggestions. 1. Sheets/blankets- if the kiddos have closets, keep their extra sheets/blankets on the shelf in their closets or if their beds are high enough, put in shallow, rolling, under bed storage bins- this opens up more storage in your closet. 2. Out of season clothes- place in storage bins- again, get the shallow, rolling, under bed bins, this way you have more room for your food overflow on your closet shelves. 3. Think of creating a capsule wardrobe for all of you- it helps to minimize your clothes but also be able to mix and match for multiple outfit; just search for capsule wardrobe on YT for women, men and children- just remember that some of the YT videos will show high end clothes but just take the ideas buy from the stores you normally shop at. You are doing an amazing job. May Fod’s blessing continue to rain down upon you and your family.
It's so nice that you and your brother are close. That a blessing!
Looks so good marina. I just finished a bathroom makeover even painted and it's a big bathroom. New shower curtain. It only took me 3 1/2 years to do it. Well I can't count 2 years of that time because I lived with my dad for a little over 2 years because he was sick. He passed away November 24th 2019. Well so I have been putting it off all of the past years. I have such a problem with feeling overwhelmed with things so I keep putting it off. But I'm so glad I got it done. I'm doing my bedroom now. Well not now but it's a project I'm starting in a few days. I dread it so much, but I know I'm going to love it when it's done. Hugs
Merina, you did a great job decluttering and cleaning out your closet! It looks great now, and your bedroom is gorgeous! I love your comforter in your bed! It's just beautiful 😊💕❤
You are doing a fantastic job marina. We are working throughout the house I’ve got the top of the kids closet left to do tomorrow in one room of the kids room is done the other one will get done the next day my room today after that it’s very minimalize clutter decluttering and it’s just getting rid of clothing and organizing some things. We are doing a major overhaul on the basement a lot of decluttering clothing wise in the basement to get rid of older clothing that the kids outgrew. After that we have very little left in the kitchen we have been decluttering since March of last year we are about 90% done
Great job keep up the good work have a blessed night 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic job on your Decluttering journey February habit is decluttering 15 min a day 3x times Merina You Nail it I’am so Proud of You!!! 🙏🏻 😊
I just did this yesturday with my husband & I closet, literally everything OUT & only what we wear and need IN!!!!
So I've just come across you and wow your energy is infectious. Like instant smile. Also the front of the closet will always have more keeps because that is where your most accessible clothes are that you always use
Please look into getting velvet hangers. You can fit more into one space, plus the clothes do not fall off. It's a great change in my closet. I always love your videos.
I forgot to give you a tip. After the colder weather I put the heavier clothes in vacuum bags. I buy them at the dollar tree. It makes them so much easier to store....love from Tavares Florida
Just another thought for you to consider is using space saver bags for bigger quilts or decorative pillows or out of season items. Great job as always!!!😍😍
Congratulations! The closet looks great. It should make getting dressed so much easier and think how much easier laundry is going to be!
Have you thought about building or buying stock cabinets to go over your washer & dryer for more storage? That's what my husband did in our small home. It helped a lot. I don't know how that could be done in a trailer but you guys are very creative so I know you can figure out anything. I enjoy all you do.
When I lived in a single wide I bought some nice heavy totes and stored some things under my trailer. Stuff like Christmas decorations or the heavy winter coats extra cleaning supplies. It helped so much! 💞
Great job decluttering. Happy to see that your brother could use some of the stuff. Also in regards to the food you have stored in your closet, what about installing a kitchen cabinet above your new freezer to store your can goods and dry goods that are in your closet.
Merina I feel so blessed to have you in my life!!! You make me feel so happy and you are so encouraging!!! Love you girl!!
I am the blessed one 😄 I love you!
I so enjoy watching your videos! Your such a Godly inspiration. And your family is so precious. I love your home you have so many wonderful ideas!!
Marina I am so Impressed and inspired by your work in that closet! Amazing what just decluttering can do!
I am amazed at the difference in your closet! Great 👍 job
Oh, wow! Isn't that satisfying?!! Great job! And I love the cubbies for your storage.
This Bama girl loves you and your family!!! God Bless and Roll Tide!! 😊🙏
Looks so good! The cube shelf was a great idea for storing cleaning supplies and what not ☺️
You go girl, Roll Tide Roll! BAMA fans are the best! ❤️
Great job Merina . What a difference.
Wow you got that closet looking so much better! Awesome job!
I suggest getting some vacuum bags. Put extra blankets pillows in them. Plus you could change out your winter and summer clothes. Saves some room. Just started watching.
Merina, 2 things.
1) Just decluter for 1 hr a day. Don't take all day. Start again the next day.
2) Hang pants: Fold once and hang 2 per hanger.
Place discarded items in bag or box. Do not throw on the bed. Handle only once.
Will the ladder go under the bed?
Now, get an outside utility building.
Amazing transformation. Made me have motivation to make tough decisions as far as my closet goes
I just feel proud of you and how you and Shane are raising your kids and making such a beautiful life together. Keep shining your light for Jesus. 💗
