What a sweet story about your son and sofa diving. I teared up when you said you missed him more at the end of his stay in US. Thank you for being our cheerleader and encouraging us everyday day with your videos. Hugs from Georgia USA💖
I did this but kind of reverse, I dust the ceiling and walls first because the dust falls down, then I dust the furniture. That just made more sense to me personally. Love love love your videos!! So detailed!
Hi Diane, I did my Whole routines today for the first time in about a month. The bottom floor of my house took 4 hours including zone work, and cleaning up after a recent bath remodel. I think that's why I struggle because it does take a lot of time and energy, still I am very happy to finally feel like things are back to normal, thanks for your encouragement!
I also enjoyed the couch story, as a mom of three boys, and am writing to let you know that, having started watching your videos at the start of June, all of the men in my life (a teacher and three students home for two months) happily watch along with me while we work away. They are seeing the benefits of having routines I have half-heartedly attempted to implement on my own through the years. Thank you for helping to get everyone on board with your cheerful pep-talks - greatly appreciated :-).
Enjoyed the story about your son. I have a son, Now 32 that always like to help clean the sofa and love seat for that same reason I would put a couple of quarters nickles or dimes and a few pennies there for him...lol I just told him a couple of years ago what I did...he said; "nu-uh" then he smiled. I've been meaning to say- I like the pom-pom's!!
I had tears this morning when you spoke missing your son, my son flew out to Mexico two days ago for six months...cannot bring myself to go into his room since he left! Still, it's only because we love them so much. Listening to you today has motivated me to keep going, I want the house to be clean and a lot less clutter on his return . Love you for keeping me going 💐💐💐
my kids left this morning for camp and I miss them so much already. but the advantage of them being gone is I'm getting so much done,planning to completely declutter their rooms this week :-) Have a lovely week
Loved the habit that after you have cleaned an area, you put something nice to look at. I am going to get some plant or seasonal art object after I clean my living room table! Thank you Diane for your daily inspirations!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bless you. Really enjoyed finding you. Building a new home and thanks to you going to be starting off on the right "shoed" foot when we move in. Declutter declutter declutter and shinning my sink 😁💐
🙀People can chocolate on your sofa! You are a courageous woman! Adding something nice to look at is a good tip. Glad to see that we are not the only family with lots of books. Slowly "customizing " the way I do things. I never clean while I watch your video. I want to hear every tip that you are given us. It gives me the boost that I need to start my day. Thanks, Bye!
Sweet story about your son & sofa diving❤️ A couple of months ago I finally cleaned the wax out of a glass candle globe! : I took care of it on a Wednesday/anti procrastination day because the candle globe had the wax in it for ages but I just didn't want to clean it out😂. Of course it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be & now I enjoy using it again
Yay, go you, Regina! I did mine yesterday - didn't take long at all - and I am already enjoying having a new candle in there. Thanks for sharing your story!!!
LOVED the story about putting coins in the couch for your son to find. I am missing my son terribly and hope to think of something similar to do as I await his return.
I too would like to see your birdies! I love pets. Have a dog, 2 cats and a guinea pig. I used to have 2 parakeets. I'd love to hear how you fit pet care into your routines. Thanks from TN.
I use OXO brush to dust. It is on a pole that extends to reach ceilings and corners as well as low areas. It cost about 12 or 15 dollars from Bed Bath and Beyond. It also washes well in washer.
hi Diane, I love your videos and appreciate you, I noticed you don't have many pictures on the walls is that part of the declutring or your personal choice? thank you for sharing oxox
Not many pictures in the living room, but we do have many paintings around the house. If you've seen me working in zone 1, our hall/entryway, there is a full wall of them! LOL ua-cam.com/video/W-wa_8N2itQ/v-deo.html
Does anyone have suggestions how to clean sofa pillows? They do not have a slip cover to just take off and wash. They might fit in the wash but I don't know if I'd want it to agitate very much as it would probably lose its shape more.
Do you play the piano? I used to play the clarinet. Good news!! My rent is not going up!! Should be the same for another year!! I love your house!! Would you ever consider doing a house tour? I once lost my cell phone on my dad's sofa.
I have noticed the dark cylindrical object on the ledge across from your sofa many times, but for the life of me I can not figure out what it is. Please solve the mystery!

I love the money in the couch story! It brought a tear to my eye! I'm sure he realizes how much he was missed and how much he is loved! ❤️
+Mom of 4 Boys I just hope my DS17 doesn't expect to find *that* amount of money next time that mission comes round! 😁💲💲💲💲
Diane, thank you for making these videos. It's comforting to know I'm not alone when tackling these things. You're an inspiration!
+Zuyin Govea So glad that you could join us, Zuyin! 💖

You always remind me that I need to clean. I badly need to work on my kitchen. It is Monday. I just gathered up some trash.
Thank you for showing us your lovely home and how you clean it. A picture is worth a thousand words. I can see that you are definitely clutter free!
I'm still working on paper clutter and clothes clutter...but I am getting there in babysteps! LOL

I definitely teared up hearing about your son and all the money (missing him moments) he found ♡♡♡♡♡ Precious!

Your video series is both instructional and inspiring. I'm a huge fan (and subscriber).
Everything seems to be making a lot more sense an seems a lot simpler after watching some of your videos, thank you! Hoping it will stick this time!!
I'm going back and redoing all the fly zones. I am working Zone 5 with you 2 years later. HeeHee!
Woo hoo, go you, Cheryl!

Sweet story about the couch money! Very grateful you need accountability, so we get the benefit of your wonderful videos!

I too would LOVE to see a house tour.

I always fold and hang laundry while watching your videos. It keeps me accountable and I never get lost on Mnt. Washmore.
