Come get some decluttering and organizing done with me today! Disaster may have happened, but I am moving on and still got a lot done. Use this as a timer and let's get our houses decluttered and organized together. Click here to watch my 15 minute declutter series: ua-cam.com/play/PLJiIADgfo6nl4MRj8-9agIf83skHPaPiu.html
I agree. I bought that same Basmati rice in the burlap. I prefer Jasmine. It wasn't a failure, just a lesson in patience and Grace. Give yourself Grace! All projects involve a margin for more time.
Ahhhhhhhh so sad when we break things but its just an accident….. but I felt your pain…. When you are on a roll getting things done its so frustrating to be taken off track. Ahhhhhh…… it kills the momentum ….. on a positive note the declutter was a total success. Well done. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My heart sunk when your salsa fell and broke! All that canning work! That stinks when something unexpected happens like that! I hope you have a great week anyway!
I just wanted to cry when that jar broke. I've experienced that several times. 😢 I understand all the effort that went into that. You recovered so well.
It’s always a great day when Ali posts a new video. Hope you are doing well❤❤ PS- I wanted to cry with you when you dropped that jar, been there, done that for sure
Thank you, Ali, for keeping it real & showing us that life doesn’t always go to plan. I’m so sorry about your salsa though! It takes so much work & effort to do all that lovely canning. I appreciate you for sharing all of your moments with us! ❤
Ali, hated to see the jar of salsa break. 😢 Just what anyone wants, another mess to clean up - not!! But I love how you keep it real! I think that is why we all love you so much because you are genuine. - Julie
honestly. i feel you. someone in my house broke a glass kitchen item and i was reminded of how important it is to wear shoes (in my house that's what we do) so that we don't step on the glass!
@@seedylee True! I never thought of it that way. I had a child knock over a jar of home canned Concord grape juice once. That’s wasn’t pretty! The walls in my pantry and still stained from it years later.
I am soooo jealous of your storage room, it's awesome that you have it so well stocked. Love the way you included your little mishap with the jars, I must admit I do silly things like that quite often. Thank you for taking the time to share, I really enjoy your content, you are a UA-cam breath of fresh air.........
Accidents happen. At 77, too long a day, trying to water plants, did a face plant and thankfully, only minor injury. Its real life. We do our best, occasionally drop things, including ourselves! Pick ourselves up, and keep going. You did a really good job!
Oh, no! 😪 I'm so sorry you broke your salsa! All that work. But, if that's the worst thing that happens today, then that's good. My gma used to say, "Haste makes waste". You have done a lot of 15-min declutters where you get HUGE amounts done. And you got a lot done today, too. All is well. ❤
I totally understand your frustration. Last year, I knocked a jar of homemade relish off the back side of a shelving unit in our basement. And the shelves were too heavy to move, so I had to lay on my stomach to reach back (onto the wall and floor) and clean up the mess. Sticky and full of glass shards 🫣and then my husband had to spray with bleach water. All the while, my inner voice is screaming at me--how could you be so careless?!!! Unfortunately, we are our own worst critics. We would never say or think that if it happened to a friend. I enjoy your "real life" videos. 😃 take care!
Been there! I stepped backward into some picture frames I set aside to put in the trash and felt my heel crunch into old glass and literally grind it into the carpet. I'm most thankful I wasn't barefoot, but my organizing mojo took a major hit!
When stacking jars, I recommend keeping them in the box trays to give the jars on top stability 😊. The breakage of one jar was minor. It could have been worst 😊.
I have a cabinet and 2 cupboards in my laundry room that were cluttered and disgusting. I took 2 days to bleach clean the cabinet, then decluttered & organized the items that are stored there. Then yesterday I took all the items from the cupboards and when I was finished there was a lot of space. Washing down the sink area, I felt so good to have this finally done. Laundry area is all done, plus a pantry closet cleaned. PHEW!! Thanks for your motivation. I used a CD to be my timer. Felt bad for you when the jar broke.😢
Dang it, that was rough! Thanks for keeping the camera rolling and showing that setbacks happen. Maybe it was a good thing you were filming at the time so you were more inclined to stay strong and show us how to handle this type of issue in the most productive way possible. Overall, you made a lot of progress and now you know you're fully stocked up for food.
@@RoseofSharon3 That’s a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion. My problem is I don’t go down there that much! I often send my kids or hubby down to bring up something that is needed.
My husband dropped a bottle of chili sauce awhile back. It smashed & splattered all over the kitchen floor. What an ever-loving smeary, glass -filled mess! I can feel your pain.😢
Oh, I love those jeans! They are just Old Navy. I have moved on from skinny jeans. Lol. I've never loved them. I really like boot cut though. Here's the link to what I got: oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=7348720020400&locale=en_US#pdp-page-content

A few weeks ago I came across a candle that I bought last year but never put it out. The other day I wanted to set it out now I can’t find it. I’m thinking I put it in the donation pile because I can’t seem to find it now.

@@lpdesigns2022 Thank you!
Personnally I have not seen any fails, you learn, no occasion to learn was spoiled, bravo!

Basmati tastes like dirt to me. First time I had it I thought it was the sauce my friend put on it. The second time it was plain.

Thanks! I’ve already moved on. Luckily, it was only one jar!
That's one big reason we do declutter and organize, it tells us what we have so you don't buy the same stuff over and over. Keep up the great work.
@@busyboy7635 That’s true! Thanks for the reminder. ❤️
What a great mom!
Thank you. 😊
No crying over spilt salsa. 😊 Great tidy up!

Nice job! Sorry about your broken jar(s). Don't forget to take those rings off your jars!

@@reallifewithali For sure! Now if I had actually thrown out the frames when I was decluttering the day before ...

Your food storage is 👍.
I feel you but we have to be glad it just was one.
Take care❤
@@helenelindholm656 Thank you. ❤️
That happens to me all the time! Lol. Lower your buying so many extras. Have just a canning place.
Yeah, I’m trying to find a balance of enough and not too much! Lol.

Here’s an idea. Before you go shopping, take a picture of your shelves to remind you of just what it is you already have. Just a thought.

Hey Ali! Just an idea - maybe put a garbage can down there so the trash doesn’t build up?xx

How do you handle dates on your overstock? Ive been marking them with perm marker but wonder if there is a better way.

Dont be too hard on yourself, we have all done exactly that or something similar. Could have been worse, it could have been the PEACHES!!!!! x
@@catherineross7776 Haha, that’s true! Thanks. ❤️
It seens that you like to buy things un quantitues so you also need to buy a more bigger rack so everything will fit
True, but I don't have more space to do that. Thanks for the idea, though!
It’s only one jar. Life is full of accidents and you’re not an idiot. You’re just human!
