I’m 63. And I know who I am and I like myself now. I love learning to do new things. It’s my me time. The kids are grown and my husband and I still have date nights and enjoy going places we haven’t been. Enjoy each season of life. Each one has it’s own reward.

You are a joy! Thank you for filming all these Spring cleaning projects, giving us thoughtful advice, and sharing your story.

0:30 First let’s pause to appreciate you lookin good 😊 love the hair.

Don’t let Perfect be the enemy of Good!! Good is fine! This isn’t a Fake Vlog Channel, it’s Your Home. We love it! Thank You. Amanda

Thank YOU for being here, Shannon. I love your channel. "No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart."

I'm 43. Can confirm, having a busted "give a darn" is fantastic. Thanks for the video, Shannon!

I don't have any streaming services, and I love my DVD collection. However about a decade ago I recycled all the cases and I keep them in a CD binder. So space friendly, and it's fun to flip through to pick a movie.

The Public Library was very happy to get my old DVD’s. Lots of people check them out still, evidently.

I took my blinds down and put up curtains. I loathe dusting/cleaning blinds. So much surface area! 😊.

I miss Blockbuster!! Friday night, each kid rented a movie and I got one. Everyone got a snack at checkout.

I’ve been clearing out every room in my house. Toss out broken stuff and donate everything else. I’m so tired of having so much crap. I’m being very picky this time and very hard on myself to keep the pace. It’s finally starting to feel good again and feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. I have to do something every day. No matter what it is. Small or large but get a closet or drawer done. Something has to give lol. So far so good.

Was cute seeing the dogs on the other side of the window. The one looked like he was supervising you. LOL

Until you want to replace the blinds you could install cleats to the side to wrap the cords around when you want them open. 🌻🍄

I love your new hair cut. Also you have lost weight. You are looking great. Just do the best you can! I love your honesty. Keep up the great work!

I'm so sorry you had a flare up in your illness - I know you are so exhausted when that illness is getting the upper hand - so thank you for putting out a video. I think you did an amazing job - you did so much - and tackled long-term cutter - and that's not easy. I love your rug - it's beautiful and suits your home - and I think it will wear well with the pups and kiddies - and I agree with you as to pups and kids being the important part of the home - the rug needs to fit in and keep itself relatively well to deserve a place for in your home. May I also say - your nails were gorgeous - I love the colour!

Robin's Egg Blue would be a pretty color for your furniture piece.

I love the doggies watching you.

I’m 75 and am blessed for each year. We shouldn’t regret our birthdays. 🎉 The only time that gave me pause was when my Dad died at 90 and I realized I was now the oldest living member of my family. (Every parent, inlaw, aunt or uncle was gone. My Dad outlived three wives and two of his children.)

I love your realness!! 🥰🥰🥰

Sendin Prayers

When you were cleaning out your basket of blankets and said "hanger" I heard "anger" (a basket full of anger) just made me laugh out loud....simple pleasures, I guess.

Shane from Middle Tennessee here. When I was young, I was always told that I was beautiful but I now I am obese and 69!!! But I can honestly say that I have never been happier!! We have a fantastic Retirement and Marriage. I have amazing friends and support system. I have Diabetes, joint issues..a recent knee replacement..etc But we started back to church several months ago and huge Blessing to us. We love to travel, go to many concerts snd events in Nashville. I go to Exercise class and hubs golfs 4 times a week. He is 5 years younger and I love it!! Lol So embrace life and your Faith!! Love you Shannon and enjoyed you for years. Take good care of yourself. You are precious! Your friend snd fan, Shane🎉

This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I like that you're so real.

Calm down you're human, we all are. I love your honesty. ❤ Greetings from Denmark, Susan 🇩🇰

Hard-copy media like DVDs, blu-rays, and CDs I keep organized in zip-up cases. For whatever reason it was at first difficult for me to separate my love of a movie from the box it came in, but once I got over that weird little hurdle, it was so very nice curating and consolidating my movie/series collection into disc cases. It freed up a lot of space and, when taking something out to watch, I never feel at risk of breaking a disc (too many used to get stuck in poorly-made movie boxes). The zip-up cases also serve as my collecting limit; if there's no room, either I have to let go of something or admit to myself that I really don't need to add the newer prospect. Most of my favorite movies are oldies I already own anyway, so this system works well for me.

Hi Shannon. With the blinds you might need to pull the cord to the right to get it to engage the locking mechanism. Hope that works.

In March I turned 50. I still feel like I’m barely in my 40s. We were so busy with a funeral and family in town I didn’t really think much about it. Now, I’m like in limbo. I’m “old” but I don’t get any senior benefits or bonuses yet. 😆 My mom was like you gotta be at least 55 for discounts and stuff. Oh well, lol.

I love your channel. It’s so real and what most of us go through. Thanks for sharing.

Shannon, you are in my prayers! 🩷🙏 Love your hair! 🌸

you are amazing, you go girl!! Once you have done the windows, will help make the whole room feel cleaner.

Working for Blockbuster was one of my favorite jobs ever!! I do miss it!

I love your hair a little shorter like you have it now, it makes you look so young and fresh😊

We are old school and have zero streaming services and only watch DVDs and VHS tapes. We have 2 DVD, VHS combo players. We do movie nights. I'm always looking for DVDs and VHS tapes at thrift stores. I'd buy what you don't want haha!

With my dvd's, I chose the ten movies I loved the most. In event of losing electricity, we can't watch them anyway. If we lose internet I have all my favorite movies. The kids could keep their favorite as well.

So good to see you again. We are rooting for you and your family.

I’m sorry about your diagnosis. My daughter has several auto immune disorders that have been very detrimental to her health and energy at times. I’m praying for you. ❤🙏

I have kept our DVD collection. My daughter has had fun watching some of my old favorites like “girls just wanna have fun” and “clueless”. I must like obscure movies because I can never find them on any of our streaming services or they want me to pay for them on top of the monthly fee. Plus there are never any ads on the DVD. 😊 45 was horrible for me. Physically it was like my body was falling apart. Had my gall bladder removed, planters fasciitis, runners knee, Posterior Vitreous Detachment, my hair is thinning, found out I’m anemic and had to get a routine colonoscopy. I feel super old. 😢 love your videos. Wishing you the best with your diagnosis and keeping you in my prayers. ❤

Your hair is so pretty!

I still have DVDs also. I don't get rid of them because if internet goes down, I'll still be able to watch tv

Praying you continue to feel good. Your house is looking good

When you said about feeling like a normal person it just hit me hard. As someone with Crohn’s disease I have very little energy and chronic pain. I’ve had five surgeries but am still suffering daily. Now it includes back pain and especially joint pain. A few years back I was put on Prednisone. I had so much energy that I was painting my bathroom at 1:00 a.m.😂 I felt great and had energy. I actually was so emotional about it and asked my husband is this what feeling normal is like? If I was able to take it for life I would. Unfortunately it is for short term use only. I think it was between 4-6 weeks and that was it. I’m sorry that you’ve been diagnosed with this blood disease but if it can be controlled that is half the battle. Wishing you well.❤️🙏

The new carpet looks great!!! Happy upcoming Birthday!!!

Glad you are feeling better.

Thank you for encouraging statements like "I'm glad you're here". I'm going thru challenging work time where I dont think they are glad I'm here because of my current skill set which I hope to grow. Anywho, I'm receiving that statement literally today to being on the planet and in the good fight with you. 😊

I cannot believe that you just showed the SlipDr.!!🎉🎉🎉 They were my client when I worked in the advertising industry wayyyy back in 2003/2005👏🏻. That was AWESOME to see!!🤗

Love the rug❤😊😊

Sending you baskets of sunshine and tons of hugs! Hope the new med plan has you feeling good today and better tomorrow! ❤ Em

We keep our DVDs, but consolidated them to a DVD case organizer. This keeps the cabinet tidy and we still get to enjoy your DVDs.

We got rid of over 250 dvds! We just donated and trust me do it! They take up so much space. We did keep a few, but we put them in a small cd case!

Agree with FlyLady system. Easier to get tasks done in 15ish minutes at a time rather than a spring clean bulk method.

You're good on the window dust. My backyard is only dirt and we live in farming area in a very old 1900 house with crap sealing so the amount of dust that you got off your top half of one window would probably be one week of one whole window in my house. It's impossible to keep up with the dust for me here. I do the best I can and when I have the motivation to dust I do as much as I can so I feel better about it and know it's cleaner for at least a little while. Lol. I have tried to do cleaning plans and they never hold out for me. I've taken bits from each and kind of added them to what I have found to work for me. I do the best I can to keep up with my kitchen the most. Then keep all other rooms pretty tidy. I have been decluttering consistently for about 9 years now really seriously. I'm decluttering a spot/cabinet/drawer probably every week. We moved to a house half the size of the previous house so we still have a lot of stuff that doesn't fit super great into this house. A lot of the stuff that's still needing to be gone through is my husbands tools and stuff that I don't know necessarily know what it's for so I won't do that because I would probably throw out 90% of it that he probably needs.

Also meant to say You are on our Prayer Lists. Please take care of Yourself and Your Family. No worries about us. Use your Energy to do what you can do and Dont be hard on yourself. You’ve got a lot on your plate. We Support You!! 🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀😊💜

Girly, you are way too hard on yourself. Your home is cleaner than most homes of crazy busy families. Homeschool, family, etc. Take it easy, you are doing amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤

I have lived in my double wide for 4 yrs. I have 10 windows. LOL I have only washed 2. They are in the bedroom. I pray that you get your health and energy. Back on track. Really enjoyed seeing your beautiful face. You are looking like you are loosing weight. Proud of you.

Your hair cut looks so cute! Hair flip 💁🏽‍♀️🥰

Aww Shannon I feel you on the windows!! They are last thing in my list especially the outside. I do often wipe the sills and once or twice a year windex the insides. You got this!

I got dvd sleeves from amazon. I just put the dvd paper in the sleeve, too. It cut down my stack by over half. I got a nice wicker basket to put the plastic sleeves in and it organizes them so nicely.

DVDs: I went through and checked which ones we could get at the library and made a list on my library account for easy reference (and was then able to part with them, no longer be housing them but still attainable for me should I want to watch them again). Beyond that, it's limited to a drawer in the tv stand, and we go through it regularly and purge/update. We each keep some favorites and hard to finds. We also are watching them weekly as our version of tv 😉 Resale seems tricky. What i can say is how much people enjoy finding them at thrift stores!

Glad you are feeling a bit better ❤

I’m 56 and I think my only tough birthday was 50 but that probably had more to do with the fact that it was my first birthday after losing my mama. My dad had passed 6 years before and it was tough knowing that I didn’t have any parents this side of heaven. Thank you for the video, Shannon. It was so good to see you. 💗

Just a word of encouragement regarding leukemia. My son is in remission after chemo. But the good news is science is catching up. If he ever shows the marker again, there are now two drugs which he could take and never need chemo again.

I recently bought DVD sheets for a binder. I plan to store them in that vs the boxes. That is where most of the space is being used. I also can't bring myself to get rid of them either. I know you can stream so much now, but this is how I will justify keeping them for now. Fits in a bookcase instead of the ENTIRE entertainment center 😂 Also, I'm 52 and 40 was DEFINITELY when I really started to stop caring what anyone thought of me except myself

Happy birthday. We put all our keep dvds and music cds in zippered binder. So much more space and organization!

I saw a meme about why generations that grew up with owning movies find it so hard to get rid of them. It essentially said that we aren’t comfortable with the idea of not really “owning” our favourite movies and having to trust or piece together streaming services is weird for us, because we wouldn’t be able to own our faves! I thought it made a good point!

I just turned 39 last week! Lov yo videos so much

I have kept all my dvds (mostly),I put them in books and try my best to make sure I have the full set. Sometimes, I don't want to search the streaming channels and want to watch it now. Lol

Love this! I would get a DVD binder and put the discs in there & toss the cases...saves room and you're able to take it on trips easier. Aw man I got really excited about the Nintendo switch going in the cabinet!

Your hair is looking amazing!!!

I'm glad you did the windows even if you didn't do a fabulous job but they got done GREAT job. 😊

Don’t beat yourself up! You are doing great on getting the job done. Pat yourself on the back.

Chugs - we have had seven .chugs - best dogs ever! Smartness of the chihuahua with the absolute divine , dopey sweetness of pugs. Super cute and funny looking to boot :). We have one now and he’s 17 years old - yep, nice long life of the best dogs!

Lived in my home almost 6 years now and have never cleaned my windows 👀 it’s on the list for 2024!

I saw GOONIES DVD!! Our Family Favorite 💜

Me too! Something small goes wrong and I can just spin out into paralysis!!! It always feels better when I find out it’s not just me. ☮️❤️😊🌈💪

We got rid of all dvd’s, the dvd player, music cd’s, cd players, old laptops, all the cable channels and even the antenna hookup and watch KZfaq premium, (no commercials) for news, movies and pretty much everything. We also have iPads for both of us and it has simplified entertainment so much. And of course, if it’s on KZfaq it’s absolutely true, haha!

A Great Video

Liebe Shannon! Ich wünsche Dir nur das Beste und hoffe, dass es Dir bald besser geht. Auch ich hatte schwierige Zeiten und kann nur sagen: es wird wieder besser und irgendwann ist die Kraft wieder da. Achte gut auf Dich, Du bist so wunderbar, lustig und liebevoll . Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Andrea

Love your hair! I will add your health to my prayer list!

I am sorry to hear about your health battle, but grateful you're doing better. Excellent cleaning job. I have held on to DVDs, not willing to part with certain ones, and yet they're never reached for. Silly, I guess. That cabinet would look nice painted. I so enjoy your humor!

So nice to have. Little reward aka new rug after cleaning and decluttering!

Thank you for sharing! Also your hair looks great! 😊

You look amazing girl, even though you had this little health setback. Hoping new meds will be the right ones for you. Turning 40 was a bit special for me because I was a new mom (she was 8 months old), so that decade clearly was unlike the others for me. I am now 52, and the good thing about growing older is that we know what we want and don’t want in our life. And I don’t feel guilty about as many things now, such as staying home to read a book instead of doing whatever I don’t feel like doing just to please other people.

30 was really hard for me, too. I’m 51 now and 40 and 50 weren’t near as mentally difficult. I could have sworn I’ve seen you clean your windows inside the living room in an older video!

Donate the DVD's to the library. You can always go check them out later if you want to watch them.

We keep the DVD's we would watch again and donate the others. I go through them a couple times a year to revisit what we are watching or not. I'm 54, my youngest is 13, so I am in a phase of decluttering any "just in case" items. I like capsule wardrobes, it keeps our laundry very manageable and we regularly wear all our clothes. I enjoy all your content 🎉

I put our dvds in a cd case from the days. And tossed the cases.

Sure wishing you better health.

Missed you! Love that new rug! What a great reward for all your hard work!

Put the DVDs in a CD holder book and then you have them compacted in one area

Love new rug!

I had a dutch friend tell me once in Holland they liked white furniture because it doesn't show dust like black or brown wood furniture does so maybe you should stick with the white..lol.

I'm actually thinking about DVD's and CD's right now, too. What I'm going to do is declutter the ones I don't want and then get a sleeve binder for disc's for the ones I want to keep. It will take up so much less space, and I would even be able to get rid of a DVD cabinet and just stick the binder in my entertainment center. I will also separate the kid's movies and get a smaller binder for those so that my daughter can go through the kids one with no fear that she may pull out 50 Shades of Grey to watch a movie about colors 😂

Loving the hair! 🔥

So happy to see that you posted a new video! Yay. You look beautiful, your hair looks so pretty and love you nails. Hope you keep feeling good ❤

I love my dvds & still buy them

They have blinds that don't use strings to raise or lower them. They carry them at walmart. And I love them so much easier to deal with than those dang ole strings..and they are very reasonable.

For me turning 30 was devastating bawled like a baby, knew it was time to grow up. Just turned 62 and am not very happy. But forty was really fun!

Your hair looks so cute.Love watching your videos

I got rid of my dvds and regretted, so I've been buying back some at goodwill.

I certainly did declutter dvds because majority is now streamed, I’m now buying them again because I refuse to pay to rent them, Amazon prime especially charges you to even watch lots of old movies. Personally I’d stick them in one of those folders and keep them.👍🏻
