NEW! EXTREME CLEAN AND UNDECORATE WITH ME | CLEANING, DECLUTTERING, & ORGANIZING Amy Darley

[Music] life is a winding road no telling where it goes driving through days and nights won't stop for traffic lights nobody wanna know if I figure out where the road goes [Music] even if is falling down I will keep on searching for my heart you can say hey y'all and welcome to my channel my name is Amy Darlie and today's video is going to be a clean and undecorated my this video is going to be jam-packed with some cleaning motivation decluttering organizing I'll be cleaning out my refrigerator and freezer and then I'm going to share with you guys some freezer crock-pot dump and go recipes that you can meal prep ahead of time and make your life easier for the month then the last minute I'm going to share at the very end of this video or my 2020 goals and how I'm going to be tracking those goals and some free printables in case you want to download them and use them for yourself now taking down Christmas for me this year was kind of ridiculous it took me days and days to do this because I was procrastinating so much but we were we also had a lot going on because the kids were home and we had a lot of activities and different things that we were doing so this definitely took me a while to finally get all of my Christmas decor put up I did start downstairs and kind of move my way around the house in a circle downstairs and then the last day I ended up going upstairs and finally getting all the upstairs decor taken down now for all the Christmas decor that was in my dining room and then also any mugs that I have that are seasonal or anything like that I'd like to store here in this buffet table I like to do that because one I know that it's already gonna come into the dining room when I'm ready to take it out and then also because I don't have to wrap anything up and make sure that it doesn't break in the tubs I can just put them in the drawers they're organized by category and I can pull them out when I'm ready to decorate now I'm moving into the living room and I just bought a few of these big tubs I got the same exact tub for my Halloween decor and I love that it's clear and I can see exactly what's in this tub but I basically put all the decor from downstairs into this wood and tub so it's called the entryway decor a living room my room kitchen stuff that doesn't go in the buffet table so everything that we had downstairs actually fit straight into this tub once or twice [Music] the size used to have hanging on and then the bigger pillows here are actually going into my room I have a closet full of pillows and pillow cases so that's where I like to store those so now I'm in different clothes and you're gonna see me in lots of different clothes throughout this video but I went for a run for the day right after I got done with the living room and then I just decided to do that because I knew I needed to clean the kitchen before I could start taking anything out so I'm cleaning the kitchen now and then I'm gonna take the Christmas decor and put it in that same big tub that is the living room now in Monday's video I'm actually gonna be doing a clean and decorate with me and you're gonna get to see how the decor it looks for winter and then I did get a few Valentine's Day items but I'm so torn on what I want to do with this tiered tray whether I want it to be winter decor or if I want to do some Valentine's Day decor so you all let me know what you think in the comments [Music] exactly four hours and we stay [Music] and when morning came [Music] I don't [Music] now I'm moving on to taking down the decor in the bedroom and it's so funny because those berries fell off that morning we were cuddling with the kids in the bed and they kept knocking the little berries off of our bed so I was like yes today's the day we are definitely taking down all the Christmas stuff so that these berries can quit falling on my head now in this time it's going to be all of my greenery I like to keep this separate because I don't necessarily put those in the same place every year so I wanted to have all of my stuff in one place so that way when I got ready to decorate next year I could pull it out see what I have and start going around and using that at the end to decorate with now we are moving to our Christmas tree and I found this idea from someone on Instagram they told me that they like to put their Christmas cards on their tree as they come in so I did that and I love the way it turned out and it was so fun to have them on display last year actually put them on our door but it was kind of a mess to deal with so I love the Christmas tree idea for the cards and when we take those off I actually take them and hole-punch them and put them into a little booklet and save those so every year we'd have our Christmas card booklets that we put out on the coffee table [Music] so if you didn't see my last video the barn door right there to the right that's where my office is and in my last video we did an office makeover this was the before and then we did a whole transformation and made it into an office and guest bedroom combo and this was the after so if you missed that video I highly recommend going and watching it and seeing how we did all of this stuff where we got everything from it was such a fun video and I just didn't want you all to miss out so I'll have a link to this video in the description box and in the cards in case you want to go watch [Music] [Music] [Music] sleeping at the worst motel somewhere we have registered days do you remember that Spyder nothing compares to the freighter oh yeah I would do if you say the word [Music] alright so in this basket we just have a bunch of gift wrap and bows and then in this bin we have all of our ornaments everything to decorate the Christmas tree and then also Garland and this is actually garland but you could use them as little wreaths if you wanted to and then I did not get it on film but Chan's actually pulled down all the Christmas decor from outside and these are the wreaths that are about to go up into the attic along with all of our other baskets and then we have this basket this is all of our decor for downstairs and this little son it won't go into things so I'll just put it with all the Christmas decor up in the attic so this is all of our downstairs decor and then I have another basket and I need to still go take down all the decor in the playroom also I put these little labels on here for right now and I just have this little sheet of 30 labels on here I just wrote them out and put them on there I know it's not like super pretty but I kind of changed things every year so I figured this would be easy if I want to just pull the little sticker off and change the tubs next year [Music] [Music] [Music] all right so this is a tit the attic chance just took the light out of here that we had in here but this is all stuff that we kind of need to get to so that's our Christmas tree obviously and then our other Christmas Cubs are going to go here and right here and then we have all of our Halloween I didn't put this stuff in anything but these are our Halloween tubs and this is a Christmas tree that we never even put up this year this is our old one we might use it next year though and if not then we'll probably get rid of it so and then we have even more stuff back there some teacher stuff in case I ever go back all kinds of things in our attics now that I have all the decorations from downstairs put away I'm gonna actually take a break so I can order my groceries because this was a Monday night I needed to pick up groceries on Tuesday morning so I'm gonna show you exactly how I do that now in last week's whole house clean with me I actually shared our meal plan for the month of January and I also pinned all of the recipes on a Pinterest board called January 2020 recipes I'll have all that linked in the description box in case you want to check out all that information but what i'm doing here is ordering the groceries that we need for the week of January 7th as well as any items that we need for meals that we're going to be meal prepping this week so to make it easy what I do is I start with January 7th I add all the items that we need for that meal go to the 8th if there's anything that I need to look up on Pinterest I'll go to that meal on Pinterest and add all those items into the cart as well once I'm done with the whole week I'll go through and add any items that need to be done for meal prepped meals and then I will go through and start thinking about lunches and snacks and any items that we actually have already run out of that we need more of for the kitchen add all that to my cart and then checkout and I usually just pick up my groceries the next morning at 8 o'clock right after I drop the kids off from school all right I feel like this video is like all over the place sorry I haven't your bunsen I was listening to my phone's but um today is gonna be the very last day I just turn the light off today's gonna be the very last day that I'm gonna be taking on Christmas I still need to go take out take down the Christmas decor up in the playroom I need to clean out my refrigerator and then I do want to show you some of the freezer meals since I'm putting some of them together today anyways I figured I would put that in this video I'm gonna put together our bag freezer meals the ones that are like our dump and go crock-pot meals that we'll be doing mostly on Sundays I do have one that's a the chicken fajitas will be on a Tuesday and then I'm not doing the casseroles till tomorrow so that'll probably be a next Thursday's video but I will be sharing those with you and I'm also gonna be cleaning and decorating in here for winter and Valentine's Day I'm not doing a ton of Valentine's Day decor but I'm gonna do a little bit so that'll be in Monday's video but I just have a lot to do and I want to share with you guys so I'm trying to pack these videos full for you so that you get to see everything sorry it's taken me so long to get all this Christmas decor down I have just been like randomly doing it here and there when I've had time and so today's the first day that the kids are back at school so I'm gonna go finish the playroom and then get to the rest of the other stuff and hopefully you guys enjoy this video all right so we have finally made it to the playroom and I'm gonna take down all the ornaments these are our divisional ornaments I talked all about this last month and a lot of our videos about how we do a devotional each night and put an ornament on the tree and the kids absolutely love it so I put all those ornaments in our little devotional ornament bucket and then I was trying to put this tree back in this box but it was not going so I decided I was just gonna put this in with the big tub that I'm putting all the rest of the decor from upstairs into [Music] now I have so much fun decorating Gracie June's little kitchen for Christmas this year and she asked me if I would do it for Valentine's Day so I picked up some stuff from Target the other day and that'll be in Monday's clean and decorate with me video [Music] I was at the wrong place at the right time because suddenly there you were with those bright blue we were conversing under than tasks now all of our blankets that we have upstairs whether they are seasonal or not if they are a thread linkit we just put them right in these bean bags [Music] [Music] down I wanna laugh [Music] we went to a small bar with neon light talked about everything that was on our mount talking new you give me butterflies then you took my hands and let's leader don't wanna be shy Oh [Music] shy all right so I'm done with the upstairs all of the Christmas decor has been taken down hallelujah but I just wanted to share with you guys I got this shirt and these shorts both from Amazon they are both like activewear I guess you could say which this one isn't really I guess you just call this loungewear but I'm about to go for a run and I wanted to show you these shorts because they are only twelve dollars their Under Armour well twelve dollars and some change and I ordered a bunch of others up on Amazon but it's not all here yet so I wanted to kind of do a whole activewear haul for you guys I'll probably put that in next week's video so be on the lookout for that but I will link these two things since I'm wearing them today I'll link those in the description box in case you're interested alright so now I'm going to go run really quick and then up when I get back I'm gonna clean out the fridge so when I got back from a run I put on a tank top and then I got cold and put on a new shirt because I already through my other shirt into the washing machine so that's why I have changed once again but the first thing that I did was just pulled everything off of the shelves I'm gonna wipe those down and then I'm gonna go through and organize everything back onto the shelves then I'll move to the drawers the same thing in there and then I'll move on to the door shelves [Music] [Music] I saw the city passing all right these little drinks are going in our outside refrigerator and then so now I need to do the bottom I ended up moving butter here so that I could put this huge jar of pickles there and then I have all these meats but some of those I'm about to use for our meals set we're gonna do in just a few minutes the dump and go freezer meals so I put this down here for right now because I'm gonna be pulling those out now I'm about to get to the drawers and then these condiments [Music] [Applause] [Music] we jumped off this sub wheelie no you want hands rubbed off the cold around me I heard you say that everything is alright but how did you know how to felt you saw right to me that day I was lost in space [Music] to me I can't [Music] what you [Music] you made you [Music] all right so now I have all of this done so basically I have like cream cheese and things like that up here and then our sliced cheese and then here we have lots of different sauces lots of hot hot sauces and then a few things for cooking with soy sauce jalapenos I put the Parmesan cheese up here so that it's kind of kind of make sense there then this is a bunch of dipping sauces is what I did here so ranch dressing barbecue sauce a 1 sauce Italian dressing and then here we have more hot sauce and then garlic these are some condiments this marsala I would have put it at the top to cook with all the other cooking stuff but it was too tall and there wasn't enough room and then ketchup so did all of that and then I'll show you the drawers putting the bacon here because I guess it kind of goes with meats so I have my meats in here and then any crescent rolls and then I have some cookie dough and then I also have like our sliced cheeses that are in the bag in there and then this is our vegetable and fruit drawer which I didn't realize we don't have any fruit right now the kids ate all the strawberries and grapes yesterday so yes I should have gotten that at the grocery store oh well and then this is like the kids drawer these are a bunch of snacks that they can have and and then we also have these for sometimes I'll let them have that as a snack too or on a weekend we might let them eat that for lunch but lately I've actually been making the little DIY Lunchables on the trays a ton because they just like pulling it off the tray I don't know and then plus they like the Ritz crackers better than the crackers in here but I do get those just in case we need them and then I need to go open some more Capri Suns we don't usually get these these were the kool-aid jammers we don't usually get these we get the roaring waters but one time they gave me these because they were out and I just took it but we have a couple of boxes I need to go unload into here in a few minutes but that's how that turned out and now I need to get on to the freezer which is the hard part because things are just everywhere it's so unorganized in there I don't know where anything's at I just grab things from here right now so I'm gonna organize this next I just want to look into you all right so I've pulled everything out of the freezer half of this stuff I didn't even know was in there and now I'm gonna clean it out really quick and then I'll start putting the stuff back in there Oh [Music] it never thought I meet someone like you you know you are the reason reason why I feel like I can fly day and night I love it when you kiss me love it when we touch every time they don't know you make me smile you're the solution [Music] all right we have everything back in the freezer so up here I have all of my meats and fries and then here we have ice cream dessert sort of things bread and pancakes and then here we have waffles corn dogs chicken fingers and nuggets here is where I'm going to end up putting my freezer meals that are the crock pot meals I'm going to put those here and then this is all stuff that I'm going to be using to make freezer meals for the next few days so I just stuck all that stuff here and then all of my frozen vegetables are down in this drawer and then I put some frozen cranberries right here and then we also have an outdoor free freezer so I'm about to go put this big bag of chicken in the outdoor freezer where we have lots of other meats as well all right so now I'm getting ready to start our freezer meals but the first thing I want to do is write out what the name of the meal is on each ziplock bag as well as the date now I just got these little freezer bag holders off of Amazon a few weeks ago and I love them they kind of just keep your bag open while you're dumping all of your stuff inside the first two meals that I'm making our cheesy chicken Tater Tot Casserole and then chicken fajitas so since I was using chicken for both of these I went ahead and put them both side by side and put the chicken in I used four chicken breasts for each recipe and then for the cheesy chicken Tater Tot Casserole I added 32 ounce bag of frozen tater tots some bacon bits about two cups of shredded cheddar cheese and then a 12 ounce can of evaporated milk and then for all of these meals when you're done putting everything in the bag you're just gonna stick it in the freezer then when you're ready to cook it you're going to actually take it out the day before let it thaw out and then you'll just dump them straight into the crock-pot so for the Tater Tot Casserole you're just gonna stick that one in the crock-pot for four hours on and then it'll be ready now we're going to make the chicken fajitas and all you need for this recipe is a bag of fajita seasoning dump it straight in the bag and then I got a pack of three bell peppers you can use whichever bell peppers you want and then an onion I'm going to cut all those up throw those in the bag and then I'm going to dump in a can of Rotel when you're ready to cook this recipe just make sure to thaw it out overnight the night before and then dump it in your crock pot on high for three hours or you could cook it on low for six hours [Music] [Music] the next freezer meal that we're doing is french dip sandwiches and for this meal you're going to need four pounds of beef chuck roast a can of condensed beef froth a can of condensed beef consommé a can of condensed French onion soup and then it's optional but you can put in a half a cup of red wine I did not have any but I'll probably get some and put it in when we actually start cooking this meal now all you do is throw all those ingredients into your bag and freeze it when you're ready to cook you thought out overnight and then throw it in the crock-pot for six to eight hours on low and then once it's ready to eat you need some French rolls or you could get Italian rolls and then a package of either mozzarella provolone or Swiss cheese the last freezer meal that we're gonna make today is smothered pork chops and for this recipe you need four bounine pork chops a packet of onion soup mix a can of chicken broth a can of cream of chicken soup and then a packet of dry pork gravy mix and then a little bit of garlic it says about a teaspoon I just kind of guess so just throw all of your ingredients into your bag freeze it and then the same as all the other recipes when you're ready to cook it thaw it out the day before and then throw it in your crock pot the next morning you can put it on low for six to eight hours and then if you need to thicken up your gravy you can put in 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and three tablespoons of cold water all right so those are all the freezer meals that I'm sharing in this video but like I said earlier I'll be sharing more next week and the following week so y'all let me know if you like seeing these recipes in my videos also if you decide to do any of these make sure to share with me you can tag me on instagram if you make them or just let me know in the comments if you make any of them and what you thought [Music] and I have finished everything for today that needs to get done I'm gonna take Gracie June has tumbling today so I'm glad I could get everything done before they got home all right it's now the next day all the cleaning is done for this video I'm actually about to edit the video but I remembered I was going to share with you guys what my new year's goals are for 2020 and how I'm gonna track them and I'm gonna do this really quickly and then this video will be over I promise but I wanted to show you guys and give you some printables in case you want to use these or this method or whatever so let's get into it all right so these are some printables that I have printed out these are the two that I'm going to talk about today and then in upcoming videos I'm gonna share with you guys these printables which are going to be cleaning checklists and I'll show you how I'm using them and everything but first we'll start with this one this is my goal sheet for 2020 and I will have these linked in the description box in case you want to print them out and do this yourself but I have faith fitness family food friends and business and then I put the other box in case you guys have other goals that you wanted to fill in but these are my goals and I'm going to read them really quick the first one is faith I want to read through the New Testament and then have tailee time in the word so start my day out with a devotional and reading my Bible fitness I want to log for work workouts and that says a day I meant to put a week so I'm gonna have to change I don't want to do 4 workouts a day 4 workouts a week and then aim for 10,000 steps a day I still haven't met 10,000 steps since I started the new year I got really close yesterday I think I was like 300 away but that's what I'm aiming for and then the next one is family I want to travel more this year be active together I know those are kind of broad but those are some goals and then family nights once a month I feel like we already do this but I just want to be intentional about planning them and knowing exactly what we're gonna do and win and then date nights once a month the next one is food I want make sure that I'm doing my monthly mail plans because there were several months where we didn't and it just was chaos those months take my vitamins even though I'm still using the care of vitamins and it should be super easy for me to remember I don't and I need to be more intentional about this so I needed to start just taking my vitamins right what I'm doing my quiet time and that should help and then I want to do three no carb days a week at least for right now so this is my goal for right now then with my friends I want to be more intentional about helping and showing up for them when they are in need or something's going on I don't want to ask how can I help I just want to do it I just want to bring them a meal or do something take their kids for a day or whatever it is to help them out without them having to tell me what to do then for my business I want to start a website I actually have this ready to go it's gonna be Amy darling calm I just have to hit submit and who knows maybe I'll do it today and it'll already be up and if it is it'll be in the description box for you I want to plan my videos out for the entire month the month before or even two months before and then this is my goal for the entire year is to hit 150,000 subscribers just so that I can get my content out there to even more friends and grow this community so those are my goals for this year now I'm going to show you how I'm going to track these goals so I created this little sheet which you could use to track yours and it's just a weekly goals report and you could either print out this weekly or you could actually laminate it and just use it weekly to give yourself a report I'm probably gonna print these for each week and I'm probably gonna print to to a page honestly because then I can keep up with my reports and see how it goes and like write the data in or something like that but for faith I was thinking I would highlight off the days that I have my Bible so each morning I would highlight the day if I read and then or just mark it off whatever you want to do and then for fitness I would mark off the day of the weeks that I actually ran so or worked out so let's say I ran this day then I would highlight day two so that way I kind of knew it could be Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday however you want to do it this is just how I'm gonna track it or you could even just mark off like if I wanted to I guess I could mark off the first workout of the week the second workout of the week the third and the fourth but I kind of wanted to do it the other way just to track what days that I'm usually working on and I'm gonna use it the same way with food I'm gonna mark off which days I went for no carbs but like I said I put seven on here so that way if for some reason you're like I want to read five days a week then you could have the five days if you wanted to work out six days a week or two days a week whatever it is I just had seven because there are seven days in a week and that's kind of how I wanted to keep track and then for family friends business and other I wanted to write down this week's highs we are so prone to think about the negative things in the week and let that take over our lives so I want to be able to focus on what were the good things that happen this week and just take away from that and hopefully that'll change my whole attitude about myself and not have so much mom guilt because I know a lot of times I feel like I can focus on what I didn't do instead of what I did do and that just brings a whole attitude down so this is gonna be this week's highs what was great with our family this week what do we do what was fun what did I do for my friends this week or what time does them with them what was great my business this week and then anything else that you want to put you could put another hi that happened this week that maybe it doesn't go in any of these categories or if you had another goal that you wanted to put your highs for you could do it there alright so I know that was a lot of information but I have it linked in my description box so that way in case you want to use these sheets you can do that and just kind of I feel like this is gonna change my mindset change where my focus is at and set goals that are actually achievable and not set them up really really really high and then get mad at myself when I don't meet them if you guys saw my post on the community tab I talked all about this how I'm so like hard on myself when I start a goal and then I'm not reaching it right away then I get mad at myself and I'll quit so this is a way for me to be like hey you're doing a good job you didn't if even if you didn't reach your goal this week it's okay there's next week let's see how you do next week compared to this week you know what I mean so that's my plan and I'm gonna have a lot more printables coming for you guys soon so I'm super excited I'm super excited to share these checklists with you and how it's gonna make hopefully it'll make my life easier when it comes to cleaning and my routines and all of that so I hope you guys enjoyed this super long video today and I hope you guys have an amazing week amazing weekend and I will see you guys in the next one bye it's in there remember you have to take out of the stand [Music] [Music]
