    THRIFTING WITH MY MOM: • Come Thrift With Us! F...
    This fall season, we are making some changes around our home. I am always trying to improve our lives in some way. This could be decluttering and simplifying and or eating healthier and trying to live a more fulfilling life. Today I am sharing our fall home updates and how we reset for the cozy fall season. I hope you are having a great day! Leave me a comment and let me know what you are looking forward to this fall =)

    Hi Shannon, Mom here! The pendulum swings and I think you have found a pleasant center point. Your house is not cluttered but it is pleasing to the eye and a happy place to be. I enjoy seeing the Fall decor and I'm excited to eat your chocolate muffins. Love MOM

    I smiled when I saw you place a doily under the plant on your bedroom dresser. My Mom was talented at crocheting & I scooped up some of the doilies she made when my siblings & I were clearing out her home. I have different sizes & use them around the house, & they make me happy. My little grandson even uses some of them for play e.g. as blankets for little dolls & as a dishcloth in the play kitchen. It makes me smile every time I see him using them. I think his great-grandma, who never got to meet him, would be happy, too.

    • @shannontorrens1

      I love using handmade things from previous generations in my home. These doilies are from my mom's friends mom who made them when she was young. It just feels good to be able to use something that someone put a lot of time and energy into making. =)

    Forty-two years ago, when I wanted to mill my own flour for bread baking, there were no electric home mills. My husband got an old motor from somewhere, mounted it on a board and connected it to an old hand-grinder. The flour ended up being far too course to use. It was extremely noisy and took forever. The technology was just not ready for the lifestyle we wanted to live.
    At present, and for the last 20 years, I do not bake anything with flour at all, and I eat very little food made with flour. I feel healthier this way. But I admire your desire to fix healthy food for yourself and your family. I think it is a worthy ambition.
    I live in south Florida where there are never any signs of fall (except in the decor stores!). In a few months we will realize that the weather is cooler. That’s about all that happens. But every solstice and equinox I do many chores that help me feel that a new season is beginning: Wash and wax and vacuum my car. Clean the headlights of their “cataracts.” Wash all sofa pillow covers and slipcover. Wash mattress protector and mattress pad. Clean ceiling fan blades. Oil my cutting boards. Replace my AC filter. Wash all windows. Replace toothbrush. Deep clean certain spots that don’t get regular attention like inside cupboards. Shampoo my hairbrushes. These are all things that should be done occasionally, but you never remember when you did them last. Following my seasonal chore schedule I always know when I did them last and when it is time to do them again. I start each new season with a very clean house.
    I live in an apartment now so I have no yard or garden to maintain. That eliminates many chores I used to do outside.
    Edit: I forgot some things. Clean/replace all filters in the vacuum cleaner. Wash insides of vacuum cleaner. Clean out clothes dryer vent. I’ll probably think of more as the week goes on. I like to do everything ahead of the solstice.

    I identify with simple living, though I am still decluttering 41+ years of marriage accumulation 😅 I have pulled out the seasonal pillow covers, throw blankets and copper/brass decor to warm and cozy up the house for fall-Thanksgiving, it’s just small touches that welcomes the change of seasons but not like the seasons threw up in my house, just a few changes to add to my normal, year round decor. I have always tried to be the less is more type of person but marriage, kids and just daily living has always made the “simplified” a challenge. Pillow covers are my favorite change ups- I have a Spring/Summer decor bin and one for Fall/Thanksgiving bin (we will not speak of the Christmas-St. Pats day binS!) and all the pillow covers are in the appropriate seasonal bins and I have been ruthless about keeping just one tote bin each for Easter-Thanksgiving decor. We are working on letting go of many decor and art that we just haven’t rotated like we use to, our adult children get first dibs on stuff like that before we donate it.

    I have always made all of our meals at home, even working full time - I just prefer knowing what is in my food. And a few years back (maybe 5???) I switched to making everything from scratch, and I do mean everything - even salad dressings and sauces, and it makes a noticeable difference in health. Plus I find it very satisfying to make everything myself. Agree with the simplify and declutter. I like a simple, clean home, but I like it to feel warm and comfy too, which I think your home does.

    That wreath on the door is so pretty. And the new old vase is a perfect addition for fall decor. It is the little things that can make a big difference without being too much added clutter. Pillow covers are a perfect example. And the picture frame with switching out the art. I have a couple animal figurines (don't judge😉) that I put tiny knitted scarves on for winter. (It entertains me😁). Small things that don't add too much but makes me happy.
    We have the same flour mill. I don't fret too much about making a perfect loaf. they usually turn our tasting good. Except the one time I forgot the yeast and I had a brick in the bread machine.😄
    Thanks for sharing!

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  4 дні тому +1

      Hi Karen, Its funny you mention a brick in the bread machine because my first attempt at trying the fresh milled flour resulted in the same brick loaf over here too. My husband was laughing saying how terrible it smelled. I must have forgotten an ingredient, but it gave us a good laugh.

    My favorite definition of minimalism is: "The intentional promotion of the things we love most or hold dear, and the removal of anything that distracts from it." It is from Joshua Becker. That said, I think that is what most of us are doing, making our home cozy just to suit us, and not holding onto extra things ( clutter ) when we do not value them❤
    I understand about throwing out titles; they often hold too much weight and we do not need to be tied down or locked into any "one" thing as we are growing in wisdom, if that makes sense. Lovely cozy spaces you have created! I often think if someone came into our home, they might judge it too bland in color and/or aesthetic, but I tell myself it does not matter what other prople think, our homes should suit ((our)) families & I enjoy a lot of white & beige & grey😊🤗🍁🍂💮
    We are down to high of 80 most days now, with a few days lower and some, a bit higher. Bought a pretty burgundy❤ mum for 4.99 at Aldi & put out your Fall art and orange leaf Fall wreath..looking at each piece brings me JOy. Giving the front door a fresh coat of paint & baking bread today, Happy Monday!! Wow~ I did not know that milling your own flour was a thing, loved to see that in motion😊

      Hello Julia, I always love reading your comments. I agree with everything you said, especially about making our home to suit our families. That is going to look different for everyone. =) I also follow Joshua Becker and like his approach to a simple life and finances. Yay for cooler weather! It's finally cooling down here too and we might even get some rain. I hope you have a wonderful week.

SW MO is behind on rain here too, but Saturday we got a little, this soft fine mist that lasted all afternoon. I said to my husband, "Do we live in a rainforest?"😅

      Minimalism can absolutely feel homey - perhaps you're thinking of the minimalist decor style? If so, this is different from the minimalist philosophy. IIRC Shannon made a video on that a while back, too.

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  3 дні тому

      @@MrGrumpyGills I agree it just matters how minimal you want your space to feel. I just feel like for me lately I wouldn’t walk into my house and say wow this is minimalist. But compared to most homes I see in real life our home is very minimal. I love the concept of minimalism but I don’t really feel like talking or thinking about anymore. ❤️

  • @jac4YouTube
    @jac4YouTube 4 дні тому +5

    I agree, I don't feel the word minimalize works for me but I have decluttered a lot out of my home and I embrace the more openness and less claustrophobic feel of the place, I surround the area with more open, lighter shelves that hold only the most loved objects and when things start to bother me or I get sick of looking at them I either tuck them away and bring out something else or get rid of them altogether. I think rotating things and moving furniture around makes it feel different and new.

    Hi Shannon, thank you for this inspirational video 🙏 My husband and I live in a small appartment in the East Side of the Netherlands. We live clutterfree and simplified for a long time now, since we moved to this home and we love it. Now our balcony has to be made ready for the fall and winter. We can have lots of rain and wind here ☺ Tomorrow I will start with it. In my home I not really change seasonal things, but candles lights, cosing our curtains and warm plaids are making it a bit warmer 🫂 Thanks for being you, you have a great mind and sweet family.

    Hi Shannon, I have been using that same mill for years now. I love it because you never run out of flour and the whole wheat flour is always fresh. I have been converting my recipes to whole wheat as well. Sometimes I still add some white flour depending what I am making but cookies I make are all whole wheat. I feel we are getting a healthier version of a treat. Every little change helps. I like the fall pics you changed to. Nice idea and simple. Hope you are having a good day.

    Hi Shannon, always enjoy seeing your Sunday morning videos! I agree with you that I identify more with the terms clutter free and simple rather than minimalism. Minimalism seems to have so many connotations since it's such a popular term. I love making food from scratch! I used to do it a lot more when my kids were really young, but once they hit school age we got so busy! We still eat a lot of whole foods and I do cook from scratch, but I stopped making things like bread products and crackers. I would love to get back into that! I think I am still working on finding the balance of having enough decor to make my home feel cozy but not too much. Your home looks so cozy for fall! Thanks for sharing!💖

I think having the word minimalism in my head made me always feel guilty if I decided I wanted to try something new or switch things around in my wardrobe. I still love minimalism and try to apply it to not be wasteful or have too much, but it feels like a relief to not have to think about our home being minimal. Like you said, it's a balance. =)

    Hi Shannon…I enjoyed your video! I really would like to mill my own flour as well. Thanks for sharing your experience. As far as Fall, I also like to “Fall Clean”. I am currently giving all the trim inside a paint refresh because it really needs it! Baseboards and inside doors. I will add fall decor and I also change pillow covers for fall. I learned this trick a couple of years ago and love just storing the covers and reusing the insides. Great hack. ❤

    I’ve been a long time viewer but first time commenting. I just have to say I love that you said your home is clutter free and not so much minimal. This is how I feel about my home and can sometimes feel bad watching minimalist channels. I’ve also always loved that you share your lived in home that is unique to your family. You are inspiring and I admire that you’re not just keeping up with trends!

      Thank you so much!! I feel we are somewhat minimal, but I don't feel like talking about that anymore since I think most people, myself included, can relate to a simplified home that functions well. =) I also watch minimal content once in a while and think oh I am not minimal enough and I just want to drop that feeling from my life.

    Simplified and clutter free, but warm and cozy is a perfect way to describe your beautiful home! Love the pops of color and how they change with the seasons. I use that cookbook, too, and would love to hear/read about your adventures with the mill. I really enjoy your channel and family. Thank you.

    Hi Shannon
    It’s been a while, since ive said hi, it’s your long time viewers in the Adelaide Hills South Australia.
    I am very much in the same place, I moved away from the term minimalist some time ago and it enabled me tot else and embrace my families needs and style. I am striving for cozy and practical and simple also.
    I am really interested in doing more of my own cooking particularly for snacks just like you, I would love to mill my own flour, something to save up for. Hope your all well, your hair is so beautiful by the way ❤❤

    Hi There! I love your fall decor and the baked goods you made look delicious!!! I just put out my fall decor which consists of some ceramic and wood pumpkins along with a handmade felt pumpkin my daughter made. My son gave me a cute ceramic squirrel for my birthday (yesterday) that also makes a great item for this time of year. Then my daughter gave me a few decorative mushrooms that I put out. It’s fun to have things that everyone can enjoy. Thanks for another great video. I ordered the flameless taper candles on your Amazon list so I’m excited to use those also. Have a wonderful week! 🧡🧡😊😊🐦🐦

      Oh and I don’t bake but my daughter made me some delicious molasses cookies as a birthday gift. She uses the same recipe my mom used when I was a kid 40 years ago.

      Your home sounds cozy and inviting! I love those taper candles. They look real when they are lit up at night. The best part is I have them set to come on around 6pm every night which makes our home feel really cozy. I hope you are having a nice weekend.

    I definitely relate as I am clutter free & simplified but not a minimalist. I also love organization systems to keep things tidy. Our Fall decorating is pretty simple with seasonal tablecloths for the dining table & a front door wreath that is changed out for the seasons. Your home looks cozy with the fall decor!

    Simple and clutter free is the way to go. Like you I like pops of color as painting walls to change things up is too labor intensive. 🙃
    I don’t have decent light for live plants so have several life-like silk plants…that way I also don’t have to worry about watering them.😉 WOW! The candles come on by themselves in the evening? So cool! 😍Thank you for your post.

    I really like how eclectic your home is - especially with your own artwork - nice personal style and it's fun to see it evolve and develop. So much nicer than the beige, grey deor that looks like every other place on the internet. I also like the new pillow cushions - look crisp and sunny like fall. BTW, I think your new vase is actually a candle holder, since the opening is fairly shallow?
