Thank you for watching! I hope this compilation is motivating. =) Have a great day!
@shannontorrens1 yes
I have heart problems so now I have to take breaks more often, so now I am downsizing and making it more simple for myself and family. Everything I have or have been watching has helped with this. Keeping only what we need and use. I was just keeping stuff for what if. but now , I don’t know what might happen. So for now getting rid of the things we don’t need will help my family move forward and it has been less stress on me knowing that my house will look decent and that my family can find the things they need and not the clutter. I would like to say thank you to your family and your parents for putting your lives on you tube for me to take away so many ideas and not be so worried about my life and if my family could go forward. They will be able to now.
Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear this for the future of my kids. ❤
I know a lady who used to have an almost white Berber carpet. When spaghetti sauce got on it, she got out the Dawn and hydrogen peroxide and cleaned it out!
I redecorated with Ikea and Amazon purchases recently. Spent $200 in all, and am very happy with a calmer color scheme. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to redecorate. Also, repurpose what you can is an excellent way to organize as well, and that’s free.
Such practical and useful tips- in typical Shannon fashion=relaxing, calm voice and demeanor.
Shannon. Another excellent video with lots of valuable tips & tricks. I have already put so many of them to use and my house looks peaceful & roomy. I have only my most favorite things on my walls and have done a lot of “Swedish Death Cleaning “. I am older than your mom but you have helped me so much. She is so blessed to have you❣️
I do the things you talked about. Isn't it a fabulous way to live??? Helps us to appreciate what matters most in life :)
Enjoy every day with those beautiful little boys. "Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, I'll eat your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine. A million tomorrows shall all pass away, Never will I forget all the joy that is mine, today." xoxo
I LOVE the outdoor hook idea!
I am so happy we added those hooks! We use them every day. I hope you are doing well.
Beautiful well kept home
Great video❤ when I heard you say, in your office, you started using a notebook rather than writing things on scrap paper. One thing I did when I started using a notebook. Was to make like a Table of Contents in the front of my notebook . When I write an important phone number down, I number the page and write the number in table of contents. If I write a recipe. I number the page and write it in the front again. Now I don't have to search through all the pages to find what I need. I can just look at the Table of Content.
Hope this helps ❤
Love this! Always looking for more tips 😊❤️
Thank you! I hope you are having a nice week so far.
@@shannontorrens1 thank you! Happy Wednesday
Thank you Shannon ! This was such a helpful , encouraging and enjoyable video ! 🌿🌸😃 you have a lovely way of inspiring while never demeaning others , you set a great example ! 😊🌸
Thank you so much! I hope you are doing well. =)
The arrangement with the lamp and the sugar skull etc. is so pretty, esp. with the light!
I loved this video and as a mom to 6 I can so relate. I don’t decant things either, it’s consumed so fast it’s a waste of time 😂 I’ve been decluttering things the kids outgrow if it can’t be passed down to another child which helped a lot with the clutter!
I noticed gardien in your freezer, we eat that too! 😊
Your home is an inspiration! I just love how free you feel! Good for you! I aspire to do the same😊
Excellent video n tips! Thanks 4 sharing. U have such a beautiful family! It's awesome that U've decided 2 live by "Don't sweat the small stuff"!!! It surely keeps things calm, less stressful n enjoyable in Ur home! We all will have life's challenges but choosing 2 keep our Joy each beautiful day that the Lord has Blessed us with is most important! 😃 With all of Ur traditions U r teaching Ur sweet boys how 2 Live n Enjoy the Journey in life! 👏👏👏👍💞✝️
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love this video, 👍 for your way of thinking and living. I'm 63 years young 😉 but learn from you. You have such a sweet family, wish you all the luck and happiness, bye bye from Anjo 👋👋🌈⚘🇳🇱
I love your house. My dad lives in Orange County and must have had the same builder back in the day. When I watch your videos, I try and picture what room you’re in, in his house! And I love to wear dresses too!
It's funny because our floor plan is the same as almost every home on our block. So I think you are right it had to be a popular layout in the 50's and 60's.
Love that you laugh!
I stopped watching news a long time ago and like you I found that I just didn't worry so much - as for don't sweat the small stuff, hubs taught me that - he had such a horrible life growing up that the things I got upset about were nothing in comparison so to him its all small stuff....good vid!
First off, I do love your channel. So, thank you for all your wonderful content. (And I love when your mom is featured, as we’re about the same age). Anyway, I haven’t finished watching this video yet but I felt compelled to comment. I do appreciate the reasons you don’t decant. It absolutely is time consuming and potentially expensive. But, there are those people (like me), who have been diagnosed with ADHD and OCD (which may or may not even be pertinent) who *need* to have that uniform, attractive appearance of things in pretty containers. It puts my mind at ease and it makes my heart happy. Furthermore, knowing that if I declutter a space, I can easily make it beautiful by decanting and using beautiful containers (even if it’s behind a cabinet), it gives me the incentive to keep going. This certainly isn’t meant as criticism, I just wanted to let you know that there are probably other (non-influencer) reasons people go to the trouble to decant, etc. and use pretty containers. Again, thank you for your content. You are definitely inspiring and motivational.
Yes choose to be intentional!
Really enjoyed this show Shannon. Some days I seem to get anxious for no reason, some of these feelings are from cleaning and trying to simplify things I own. After watching your shows your calming voice and demeanor lets me know these things can be achieved over time. Thanks for the great tips. Take care!
So agree about not decanting food! Complete waste of time. Also, you're mixing new with old every time you top up. So the bit at the bottom gets older and older and never gets used.
So true!
Happy Saturday, Shannon.
I have not commented in a bit but as always, I have continued to always enjoy each video upload & appreciate each bit of content so much😊 I am at the same point that you are in all of these tips and I love how they brought us to a peaceful home. I will continue to watch and recommend your channel to anyone who ever asks about intentional living and a peaceful home. If someone was just starting out and they started at the beginning of your content, they would no doubt get to the point where I am now. it is so lovely❤ I Really like how you shared your amazon store front. I used to have a set of those candles, and they melted in a move. I have recently decided to stop burning real candles because I don't like the scent, the soot, and the upkeep of the wicks, not to mention open flame, which makes me nervous.
Back when our kids were just age one and three, I was putting them down for a nap and we were having storytime. I accidentally fell asleep reading to them. I had a
candle burning in the kitchen and a piece of paper must have blown off the counter from the breeze of the window. I woke up to see flames but it had just begun-so I was able to get them out quickly. Ever since then, I just have been nervous about flame. I don't know why it is taking me so long to finally ditch candles for good. I think I just needed to become more minimal and intentional.And that is caused me to make much better decisions in every aspect of life. I guess I share the story to say that when your life is more calm and peaceful, you just find you don't need all of the extra, and decision making just seems more clear😊
Our robot broke this week and i've decided not to replace it. It seemed, I was always micromanaging it, trying to get it to not bump into our 🐶 pup who is older and can't see well. I realized that this decusion also is making me more intentional to just vacuum with the regular vacuum. Sometimes, simple is just better.
I wish you a super happy weekend- We are enjoying summer temps in the low 90's & the 1st of my husband's garden tomatoes, eggplant, & jalapeños 🍆🍅🌶❤😊
Hi Julia, It's always great to hear from you! I feel the same way about real candles. I am very afraid of them accidentally catching something on fire and with little kids I don't want to take the risk. When I first decluttered I thought I didn't need or want fake candles, but over time I realized even though some might think of them as clutter I feel they give our home a cozy feel and they are worth having around in our home. It sounds like your garden is going great! I hope you are enjoying summer =)
@@shannontorrens1Definitely, in all aspects!🌞💮🏠
Resolve carpet cleaner is a wonderful product for carpet stains! It’s great for tomato sauce, too! I hope Emmet got a little talking to about being careful. Hugs! :)
I agree, I don’t waste my time decanting except for avoiding pest. I stuff food into plastic, glass, and metal containers.
Your garden is absolutely enchanting!❤
Thank you so much!
Romanticize life...I love this
I think it’s best to live with things for awhile and see what works for you. Don’t try and organize everything right away. You may find you don’t like items where you originally put them. Then you may have wasted money on organizers that don’t fit the next space you move them to. 😊
Brooke Sheilds popularized the Brooke hook in the 80s. Still, such a great idea. Thank you for the reminder 😊
Great video as usual 😊…..I do as you do 😊❤ 1 in 1 out ,my kitchen is perfect almost looks like yours I keep what I need and things I don’t use they go. I say less stuff less dust 😂 and it’s true.
I always feel good after watching you ❤
Yes except open shelves, I put storage baskets with lids on some of them, so much simpler to maintain less dusting
Great video Shannon! I also started using notebooks and it works so well. I lead a book club, am on our HOA Board, we travel and I want to be better with remembering new people I meet and their stories. So my 4 pretty notebooks do the trick, stored in an upright clear acrylic holder close to my desk.
Shannon this is a great video I love the idea about clearing surfaces I will be looking at this video again to give me decluttering solutions thank you 😊
You are so talented in sewing & repairing items.❤
Plus, I like your use of indoor & outdoor hooks. Also how you stay on top of doing the dishes.
💞 Besides the practical side of it, keeping the bathroom and kitchen clean is especially important in case of an earthquake (CA) or other emergency.
*Note you might add your extra kitchen tools & 'someday' items/supplies to your Emergency bags, camping totes, etc.
Thank you! 😊
Hi Shannon, I was just about to go to bed........Okay.....I'll stay up a bit longer!😂
Thank you for watching! This is a long one too. =)
@@shannontorrens1 Yes, but a goodie! Worth staying up late for too.
Love all your aprons
Love it ❤
Thank you! I hope you are doing well.
@@shannontorrens1 yes, all good here, just trying to survive summer break 🤣 and don't go mental 🫣😅
With kids all the time at home it's always plenty to do 🤣
Thank you! I've hope you are well to!
Thank you so much👍
Great video! I’m glad you mentioned the one clip was from Halloween because when I saw a random skull I thought oh my!
I hope you are having a good week.
I’ve paused my streaming services and considered stopping YT, but I do enjoy the content creators though. But lately I’ve started turning the TV 📺 off and listening to an audiobook or go on my Bible app.
Very nice video. I love when you treat us with a long one! Really defines you, your family and lifestyle. Great job!
Thank you so much! I am happy you are here. I hope you are having a nice day.
Just subscribed! Love this content of minimalism! I grew up instead of a lot of toys I loved books and the age of social media and life stifled my ability to read all the books I want. Think Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough to Last” w/Burgess Meredith. Like your suggestion on how to make time to read.
I don't visit news either...my husband will let me know of something important 😅
HAHA My husband too! Whether I like it or not. =)
My husband let's me know what's important too. I don't watch the news.
Thank You for a great video! So much inspiration! I’ve learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video.
Thank you! I hope you are doing well.
Hi Shannon! Motivation always welcome 😊
Yay! Thank you! I hope you have a nice day.
Really great content. I'm a long time subscriber, but I think I like shorter videos better for my attention span and time restraints!
Thank you for being here! Feel free to skip videos if they don't appeal to you =) I hope you are having a nice week so far.
That was so cute! - minute 5:37
And 1:00:07-18 made me laugh! Another cute moment!
Love this❤ really motivating
Thank you!!
wow! Where are those beautiful watercolor pictures from?
Creator question: how do you know how much of your viewership is subscribed? Where do I look for that information? Thanks!
Hello! Go to your dashboard - click where it says "go to channel analytics" - click where it says "Audience" (towards the top) - Then scroll down and it will say watch time from subscribers vs. not subscribed. =) I hope this helps.
I enjoyed this thank you. Quick question for you. Where did you get your wooden desk top organizer for your calendars and spiral notebooks?
They have a ton at homegoods!
Also Marshall’s, Ross, TJ Maxx
Thank you. I really like yours.
Yes Homegoods is a great place or online/Amazon
I have the kids keep their backpacks in their rooms. I do not want anyone's things out.
I do really like your kitchen. For one thing, it’s large. What else does one need?
I really like our kitchen too. My only issue is the old tile countertop and certain things that are kinda hard to see on the camera. Drawers that don't work well and an odd layout, but all things I am happy to live with until we have the time and money to do something about it. I hope you are doing well.
Sharron il faut diversifier , je reviendrai vers vous mais j'ai 57 ans passés et j'ai tjs travaillé, désolée ❤diversifiez svp😊
Such practical and useful tips. Thank you! I really want a calm, simplified and decluttered home

Shannon, I like your channel but pls speak slow🙄👍
This is a long video where I put several older videos together. So there is a difference between different sections. =)
you might want to protect your children by not showing them on the internet. there is a lot of sick people out there.
I am not worried about it =)
This is really helpful & motivating. ☺️🩷👏
I'm so glad!
