From Chaos to Calm: How to Reclaim Your Space (Even on Your Worst Days)

Life in Chicago moves fast. Between work, family, and the hustle of the city, keeping your home clean and organized can feel like a losing battle. Your space should be a sanctuary, not a source of stress. If your basement has become a “drop zone” or you’re simply dreaming of a more functional home, you’re not alone. The good news? With a few smart strategies, you can transform chaos into calm.

A Story of Reclaiming Space

Recently, I had the honor of helping a wonderful Chicago family, Sarah and her husband (both busy nurses), transform their chaotic basement. The past year had been incredibly tough—Sarah underwent chemotherapy, and the basement had become a cluttered storage area and dysfunctional play space. The family wasn’t using it; they were avoiding it. Sarah confessed, “I don’t function well in chaos. It makes my brain 10 times busier.” Her goal was simple: to create a safe, inviting space for her kids and, secretly, a little corner for herself.

The Real Problem Wasn’t the Stuff

Walking in, it was easy to assume this was a major decluttering job. But the real issue was a lack of systems. The basement wasn’t overflowing with excess—it was suffering from a complete absence of storage and purpose. Toys had no home, important papers were mixed with trash, and there was no dedicated space for Sarah’s husband to study or for Sarah to pursue her hobbies. This is a common scenario. Sometimes, you don’t need to throw everything away; you need a functional plan. If sorting through it all feels overwhelming, consider reaching out for deep cleaning help to get a fresh start.

3 Game-Changing Organization Principles

1. Zone Your Space, Not Your Stuff

The biggest mistake we make is buying storage for the things we have. The better approach? Design your space first. Look at your room’s walls and floor plan as valuable real estate. We zoned the basement into three areas: a kids’ clubhouse, a home office, and a wellness corner. We then asked, “How much storage can I fit on *this* wall?” not “How many toys do the kids have?” This future-proofs your space. Your needs will change, but well-planned zones and shelves will always be useful.

2. Make “Putting Away” Effortless

Organization only works if it’s easy to maintain, especially on hard days. For the kids’ toys, we used open cube shelving with clear, picture-labeled bins. Even the youngest child, who can’t read, can match a toy to its picture and toss it back in. It’s like a game. The system is designed for their “butterfly” organizing style (needing to see their things) while keeping it tidy for Sarah’s “ladybug” preference (less visual clutter). The goal is to create systems that catch you on your worst day. When you’re too busy or tired for detailed tidying, a great cleaning service near me can help maintain that peace of mind.

3. Claim Your Own Corner

Perhaps the most powerful part of this makeover was creating a space just for Sarah. In the whirlwind of parenting and recovery, she had nowhere for her own hobbies. We discovered she loved puzzles and her Peloton, but had no dedicated spot for either. We carved out a puzzle table and organized a workout zone. Everyone deserves a corner that sparks joy. Your home should support *your* life, too. If finding the time to create that space feels impossible, a professional home cleaning team can handle the everyday tasks, freeing you up to focus on what matters.

Simple Steps You Can Take Today

You don’t need a full renovation or a huge budget. Start small with these actionable tips:

• Set a 5-Minute Timer: The hardest part is starting. Grab a trash bag and spend just five minutes clearing obvious garbage or donations from one corner. You’ll be amazed at the momentum this creates.
• Contain the Paper Monster: Stop the stress of loose papers. Get two bins: one for “To File/Important Documents” and one for “To Shred.” Sort your pile into these two categories only. No more complex system is needed!
• Use the “Fabric Bin Hack”: Love the look of fabric bins but hate how they collapse? Buy inexpensive ones, then place a sturdy cardboard box or a cheap plastic bin inside. You get the pretty look without the flop.
• Create a “Stage”: For a magical kids’ corner, install a tension shower curtain rod in a corner and hang some curtains. Instant tent, stage, or reading nook for about $20!

Remember, the goal isn’t perfection. It’s creating a home that feels lighter and works for you. And when you need a reset, you can always schedule a cleaning to get back on track effortlessly.

Your Chicago Home, Calm and Clean

Seeing Sarah’s reaction was everything. She walked into the new space and felt an “overwhelming calmness.” The kids had a safe place to play, her husband had a functional office, and she finally had a spot for her puzzles. The transformed basement meant the family could be together in their own spaces, enjoying their home again.

This is what we all want: a home that supports us, especially when life gets hard. You deserve a space that feels peaceful and functional. Whether you tackle it yourself or decide to get your space cleaned by pros, taking that first step is a gift to your future self. As a trusted Chicago cleaning company, we see firsthand how a clean, organized home changes the vibe of your entire life.

downstairs is chaos. I feel like right now it’s just the drop zone. If we don’t have the space for it in the kids’ rooms, it comes down here. In the past year, it’s been really, really rough for our family. I’ve gone through chemo and my kids had to watch that. They didn’t have a place other than their bedrooms to go to. So that if I was, you know, on a chemo week, really struggling and needed to sleep, I could have safely said, “Why don’t you guys just go downstairs?” It’s really not ideal for the kids to be down here for so many reasons. So if they’re grabbing toys, it’s like, “Grab what you need and bring it upstairs.” And then we end up throwing it back down here later. It’s just dysfunctional chaos. Home organization is meant to catch you on your worst day. And Sarah’s had a lot of worst days lately. If you remember, we met Sarah a year ago when we made over her living room and her kitchen. Sarah and her husband, they’re both busy nurses and they have two adorable kids. But within the last year, life has hit her hard. And I was so excited when I got a call and she asked me to come help with their basement. Okay, Cass. >> Okay. I was like, there’s no toys upstairs. >> They made it all down here, friend. This is nice though because I felt like the first time I came half of your house wasn’t really being used. >> It was like you just lived up there and this was like, you know, >> but that’s still how we live. >> It is. You’re not really coming down here. >> I don’t function well in chaos. I just feel like it makes my brain 10 times busier. And when I come down here, it’s better to just avoid it than to actually try to figure it out. >> I see a desk. Does he need a desk? >> Yeah, he does. >> He does. Okay. So, is there another space besides this? Possibly. Like, if this is the kid’s clubhouse, you have This is a good size basement. Is there more? >> There’s a whole bedroom. >> Cuz your parents are staying here. >> They were. And they’ve left. >> They have. >> Which is awesome. >> Yeah. >> But they’ve left their things. Are they okay if their things leave? Sarah’s parents have been so helpful. They were snowbirds, which means they in the winter they would go to like Florida or they would travel and then they would stay with Sarah and her family in the summer. But they’ve recently bought a home in town. They no longer need to store their things at Sarah’s home. But after they’ve done so much for her, I get how she’s reluctant to ask them to move out their stuff. This is Sarah and her family’s home and she needs to reclaim this space, not just have it be for storage, for her parents’ extra furniture. So, if we are going to make an office for your husband and you I mean, you might want to Do you craft? >> I don’t. >> I have no creative bone in my >> What thing could you do in a private space? You could work out. We could make it. I could I would love now that I’ve done chemo and on my road to recovery to get back on my pelaton. It broke my soul that chemo took that away from me. >> How are you feeling now? Good. >> Yeah. I mean, I struggle with like some of the lingering side effects, but >> Okay. Well, let’s give you a private space, your husband a private space, and the kids their clubhouse. >> Are you ready? >> I’m ready. >> Okay. Let’s just jump in. Let’s um start. >> Can we just bring the dumpster? Last time I just wanted the dumpster. Just dump it all in >> you. Okay, I’m going to be real. This isn’t actually that much. It’s messyish. Not even that messy, but it isn’t excess. You don’t need a dumpster, friend. You need like two trash bags. Okay, we got this. Most makeovers that I do, it’s decluttering is like the big lift. It’s decluttering that’s the time consuming part. But that’s not the case here. It might look like there’s a lot of stuff. It might look like it’s really cluttered, but what I’m seeing is just a lack of storage. This is a reasonable amount of things in this basement. There’s just no place to put anything. And I’m not just talking about the toys. We need a desk area for Sarah’s husband who is in school and sometimes works from home. We need a place for her to do her hobbies. It’s not about decluttering. It’s about creating space for this family with real organization. This will be donate and this is trash. But be a little ruthless. Like this is the time to say like this is a mess maker. A mess maker is something you have to constantly >> clean up >> or like set up before they can play. Okay. >> Gone. Stupid. No. Yep. >> Also, if they’ve outgrown it, like if if you’re like, you know, my kids are too old. >> Maybe they’re not cuz he’s learning his alphabet, but um that will go too. You went somewhere. Cool. >> Yeah. African lines. Sorry. They do use this. >> It’s cool because they turn the lights off and it turns into a disco party. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Garbage. >> Garbage. What is this? >> Can that go? >> Yes. >> Look it. I think we’re through the toys. What are we talking about? This was not bad at all. High five it up top. >> I’m glad you feel good. >> Do you see how like easy Sarah’s letting go? The truth is decluttering when you get started, especially if you’re looking for trash or obvious donations is easy. The hard part is getting started. What if today you just set a timer for 5 minutes and took that first step? I promise you, it’s just grabbing the bag and making the decision to go. That is the biggest mountain you’ll have to climb. >> You’re going to find a lot of >> Okay, we could have a bin for dolls. Dolls is cool. What is this? >> Hit and miss. That’s my husband’s PlayStation. >> Does he want this in his decorative >> his new cool officy space? >> Oh, I’m sure he would love that. >> Oh, okay. But is this like your angel for your tree? >> No. Look at that thing. Possessed. >> It does look a little bit terrifying. My daughter was just like playing with these things. She just co. She’s like a toy. She’s like very opposite of me. When I tell her to clean up, she lines everything. She has to see everything. >> Whereas I’m just like just shove it in the drawer. >> That’s totally normal. She wants to see her things because it’s out of sight, out of mind. >> Okay. So that’s why she doesn’t play with it if she doesn’t see it. >> Exactly. Right. So she knows if I put this somewhere I can’t see it, I’ll forget I own it even without realizing it. Wanting to have all her treasures visual. Kids are usually butterfly organizers, which means they want to see their stuff. It’s out of sight, out of mind. They don’t love details. They want to spread. But I can tell like Sarah’s overwhelmed. She’s leaning way more towards a ladybug. She doesn’t want to look at all her kids things. So, I need this space to be a compromise. Even though this is a kids playroom, I want it to feel mature. I want Sarah to feel relaxed in this space. So, I am going to combine that beautiful butterfly visualness so that nothing’s really out of sight, out of mind, but also make it feel more toned down and less cluttered for Sarah. So, the entire family can enjoy this beautiful space. Maybe you want to hang out as a family down here sometimes and not be like, “Oh my god, it’s a toy room. Nobody wants to hang out in a playroom.” So, we’re going to make it like sophisticated. What about the puzzle? I’m a puzzler. >> Are you? Where are you puzzling? >> I don’t have the space for it. When I first started my chemo journey, that kept me sane. >> I love >> It did honestly, >> but then I was just so tired and whatever. I love puzzling. You know what’s really standing out to me so much is that Sarah doesn’t have any space for herself in her entire home. I have spent a lot of time with her and the only thing I really know is that she likes to ride her pelon. discovering that she likes puzzles is like really where do you do this? She also loves to read. Like where is Sarah’s space? It’s always about her kids, always about her family. She continually puts herself last and that is reflected in her home. It’s time to put herself first and have a space that’s just for her. We are going to fix this out of that. Let’s voyage to the dumping ground of all things adulting. So, what we’re going to do is like a hubby bin. Also like to have like a paper bin because tax time and crap, friend. You know where is long-term paper going now. It goes Yeah, that makes sense. Quick, you’re audited. You need your taxes from five years ago. >> Oh my god. Oh, it hurts. It hurts. It hurts. Nothing on here needs to be paid, Cass. Okay, that’s all that matters. That’s what I mean. I don’t want to like hide a bill that’s important. Paper organization can be really stressful for anyone. And I think the more stressed out you are, the more likely you are to just put it in a pile in the basement. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Just sorting the really important from the unimportant is all you need. Get a bin and a basket, label it important documents. That is good enough. But what’s really important in this space is unvarrying this desk. Sarah’s husband needs this desk to do school and right now it’s just storage. >> Oh god, >> these are like his current school work. >> And then he also is like super into photography. So let’s do like >> current stuff he’s dealing with. And then hobby. I’m going to find another bin. >> What is this? >> Okay, that is like an important document in my opinion. >> Important document. Important document. Goes into important document bin. You’re way more ruthless than I am. >> Shred garbage. Is this stuff important? Nope. This looks important. >> Oh, does it? Nah, it’s all old. You know what this box was? This was a Sarah went through all of her four drawers that Cass cleaned out. >> Your homework. >> And this needs to be shredded. >> Like a year and a half ago. How long ago was that? >> That box did really good. We’re shredding it before I leave because homework is not your thing. >> You don’t know. Garbage. Garbage. Feel like we’re good. Let’s take a second and shred. >> Get it, shredder. Oh, it’s telling us it’s Oh, surprise. I’m excited for you to have a space in this home. >> I don’t know what that’s like, Cass. >> This is it. I’m going to literally kick you out and then when I come back I’m going to organize. That was it. That like that was it. >> Yeah, that’s like easy peasy compared to upstairs. >> You do have a bit of homework. >> Oh god. Okay. >> Which is nothing for you. It’s to tell your parents to get their freaking stuff out. >> Okay. Okay. That’s it. Okay. We’re going to be back for day two. So, I left Sarah’s house and went home and just started ordering all the supplies I needed for organization, like to actually give a home to her things. Sarah’s homework was to do nothing. She was supposed to rest. But of course, she did not do that. She painted her basement. Her parents came and helped her out. And while they were there, they picked up all their old furniture and moved it out. So, we have an empty room to work with. Okay, we got a ton of storage. What’s really surprising is this home didn’t actually need a lot of decluttering. It needed organization. And because we’re a blank slate, we need to have a ton of storage. These type of makeovers, I donate my time and we donate all the supplies. So, we’re on a tiny budget, which is also a good thing. So, I can show you how you can transform and organize a space without spending a lot of money. So, Walmart to the rescue. Lots of cube organizers and bookshelves. The entire Clutterbug team are going to build. Let the building begin. You brought a hammer, right, Joe? With your muscles, Cass, with your muscles. Step one. When you go to organize a space, especially like one from scratch where I don’t have any storage, it’s all about the room, not the things in the room. So, I choose one wall and I zone that for toys. And then I think, how much storage can I add to this wall? I don’t even care how many toys they have because this is always changing. the amount of toys that they will have 5 years from now isn’t the same as what they will have today. So, we have to maximize storage based on the wall space and the floor space, which means cube shelving that will stretch all the way across, but keeping in mind that kids are short, and we want to keep that nice and low. We’re doing the same thing in the office, like the wall space, zoning one wall for storage and a desk, measuring that, and adding bookshelves. How many bookshelves can I add? Well, it depends on how big the wall space is, not what they currently have. You can do this exact same thing in your home. Zone a space, zone the walls, and get storage that fits your home, not that fits your stuff. Everything is built. This is exciting. This is my favorite part. So, we’re going to put everything into place. I ended up going with these Walmart cube shelving for a couple of reasons. One, super cheap. two, they are exactly the width of this fireplace. And Sarah really wanted a safe place. So going with something with like no sharp edges, it’s going to be seamless is cool. Did I measure? Not really. So fingers crossed this works out. We zoned this space based on like valuable real estate and we want it to really be inviting when the kids are coming down the stairs. We want them to want to play down here. So the toy section is when you immediately come in. Plus, there’s a lot of floor space for them. We also have a desk. Sarah’s daughter loves to craft, so I want to set up a craft zone that’s private for her on the other side of the room. Okay, this desk was actually Sarah’s husband, Nick’s desk. He is a nurse and he’s going back to school to like upgrade his degree. And this little kid’s desk was the desk he was working at. So, we’re going to give him a grownup desk in his new grownup space. But this is a perfect little crafting desk for their daughter, but also as they grow, a great place to do homework. So, my goal was to zone this for the crafting area slashh homework area. Yes. I’m hoping I’m hoping I’m hoping like I measured. Oh, this is exciting. I’m excited. Usually I save the organizing part till the end, but we are just stuff shuffling toys because they’re all over the floor. So, what we’re going to do is actually organize the toys now before we continue like decorating and moving furniture. I have told you multiple times never to buy these fabric canvas bins. I hate them. But also, we are on a small budget. We have less than $1,000 to completely furnish and decorate two rooms that have nothing. So, fabric bins it is. But you at home, if you’re also on a budget, you can get a really inexpensive fabric bin. I got these from Amazon. I love them cuz they have the built-in label. But take a $125 store hard bin and put it inside. And now it’s not going to crinkle and fold and collapse, but it’s still a fraction of the price of another container, but you get the pretty fabric look. The secret to real organization is to organize for your space, not your stuff. So, we’re going to open up all these bins, put them into the shelving unit, and then organize and sort the toys into the containers. So, one for Barbies, one for blocks, one for cars, one for trucks. But if we end up having more categories than there are bins, then we’re going to combine. So, maybe cars and trucks and trains go into one. But you really don’t know your categories until you already know how many containers you can sort into. So, step one, throw all the containers on the shelving. Step two, organize into the containers. I’m so in love with how this turned out. It’s gorgeous. We’re going to write on the rough categories as we come across things. We’re zoning this for the little dude, this for the little princess, and this shelf for like school related things. So, as we come across building blocks, it’s going to go in the school section. As we come across dolls, it’s going to go in this section. And cars, trucks, you know, in this section. When in doubt, we make a random bin. There’s a difference between random bins and doom bins. Random bins should be like a few for tiny categories that otherwise don’t have a home. If everything’s a random bin, now you’re just disorganized. You know what I mean? But it is important to have a home for the things that otherwise you’re like, I don’t freaking know where this should go. We interrupt this organization. Uh, Joe wants to move out the futon before we make too big of a mess with your muscles. >> Where you going, bud? >> Spinning. Mistakes were made. >> Mistakes. >> Mistakes. Mistakes were made. >> Oh my god. >> It’s very heavy. Okay, let’s test the comfort. Let’s see. It’s not bad. >> Lumpy. >> It’s lumpy. When you’re organizing, it’s so important to have predetermined categories. We just gave each bin a rough toy category, which means when we’re dealing with a big pile of everything together, it’s really fast to organize because we just toss it in the bin that already has the category attached. Maybe we have to do some little adjusting, but this is how you make organization literally crazy fast. And in minutes, all the toys had a home. This I’m very excited for because they had a big tent down here, like a dinosaur tent that the kids loved, but it takes up a lot of floor space and you can’t really just tuck it away when you’re not using it. But this corner, I’m hoping to use this curtain rod, this is a shower curtain rod to create not only a little tent with these curtains, but turn it into like a stage where they can put on performances. And I’m going to keep all their musical instruments in here. I’ve never done this before. I’m not totally sure it’s going to work, but Joe’s going to install this curtain rod, and fingers crossed we can make a stage out of $20 curtains. It’s so much cooler than I thought it is. Look at this. >> Stop it. I love this. Like, what? This may be the coolest hack ever. Yes. Corner shower curtain rod. 20 bucks. Cheap curtains. Voila. It’s a tent. It’s a It’s a stage. It’s the coolest thing you could ever have in a toy room. I wish we would have done this for our kids. You got to try this one. This is awesome. Mara and I are both ladybugs, which means we don’t do details. We are about to do this rainbow in tiny pieces. This is like a Build-a- Bear mural. You think we just yolo it? We have these amazing family photos that Emily actually took of the family. Because this is the kids playroom, we are going to hang the photos of the kids right here over the sofa. It is getting late at the end of the second day. And I’ve spent a lot of time, we spent almost all our time, uh, doing the toy area, but this room is important, too. It was a bedroom when her parents were here to help her while she was going through her cancer treatment. But her parents left and they took their furniture with them. So, we’re giving it purpose. Her husband is going to school, so he’s going to have a desk area. They love exercising. I’m going to create a workout area. What I’m most excited about is giving a space for Sarah to do puzzles, which is her favorite hobby, and she has no room in this house. So, a puzzle section. We’ll move the pelaton to the workout area and then we will create the office zone. It’s looking so good. Welcome back. It is day three. It is reveal day. So much to do. I walked in though this room and I instantly felt really excited because it looks so good. Their daughter London so crafty. So, I wanted to give a little craft zone. And I thought, what a cool way to display all of her creations by just doing like a little lit clothes pin wall. It’s from the dollar store. I’m going to quickly hang that up, add some labels, fluff some pillows, and this room is done. This organizing system will change this family’s life. And it’s the systems that are made for your worst day, which is what I’m all about. Upstairs, I organized for their organizing style in a really simple, easy way to catch them. And then Sarah had her worst day. She had her worst year struggling with cancer and treatments and being sick and the house stayed tidy. And now the basement is set up to do exactly the same. This is such an easy system for kids. We have picture labels. They’re going to be done with something and they can toss it back in like a baseball. And even Adrian, who can’t read, knows where everything is because it’s really, really obvious. It’s beautiful. But more importantly, it’s organized for everyone’s worst day, so it’ll always stay tidy. I also love that it was done on a shoestring budget. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a really organized home. These Walmart shelves are going to seriously make their life so much easier. Sarah’s husband, Nick, is a photographer and he’s really getting into it as an awesome hobby, but his cameras were in his bedroom and all of his camera gear was all over the house. So, just having these inexpensive shelving, we can fill it with all of his things in one place so he’s organized and tidy, and he’s just inspired to actually engage in his hobby. I found this old cabinet in the laundry room. What a score. It is the perfect spot for a little workout zone. They love their Pelaton which is in this room, but now they actually have a really organized spot for all the accessories plus their hand weights, towels. It’s just giving spa feel. I am so in love with how this space is turning out. Puzzling is a big deal for Sarah. She said this is her favorite hobby and she does it with her mom and her sister and she wants to do it with her kids, but there was no place in this house to actually do a puzzle. So, I found this table secondhand Facebook marketplace for a dime. It’s the perfect size. This is I know this like weird old table is like not that big of a deal, but this is the part I’m most excited about. And speaking of puzzles, these shelving are the perfect spot to store them. This room is done, and now it’s time to bring Sarah and her family home and surprise them. Okay, keep you keep your eyes closed. >> I want you to remember what this looked like when I first came. You could barely walk in this space. How did it make you feel coming down here? >> Not good. It wasn’t a good feeling. >> And you said all you wanted was a safe play space. Are you ready? >> No. I feel like I’m going to get emotional already. No. One, two, three. Yes. So pretty. You blew it out of the water. I don’t know what to say. Isn’t it inviting? >> It is. You said that they love to play school. >> They do. >> And so we have like the school, then all the learning toys are here. And then we have like London and Adrian’s toys all organized. Look at this mama. >> Picture labels, too. >> I see that. >> We wanted it to feel like grownup, but still an obvious playroom, but something they could, you know, not be embarrassed when they’re 10. And then London has her own art studio. I’m not going to have to clean up all the little cut up pieces of paper and crafts a million times off her bed. Thank you. >> Nope. You’ll have to clean it up off of down here. But uh at least you won’t have to look at it. >> So inviting. It’s so It’s just warm. It’s cozy. I could even watch my show while they play, >> you know? Like it’s just a place to enjoy. It’s been such a crappy year and I’m just grateful that you could give this to them. >> Well, it’s not just for them because you need a space, too. Do you want to see your space? >> No. But yeah, >> I don’t know if I can handle anymore, but I’m excited to show you a space where you can like chill. You ready? >> Ready. >> All right. Come on. Okay, keep them closed. All right, >> I want you to remember what this room was. >> My parents bedroom. >> But even before your parents were living here, it was filled with like all their stuff. >> Yes. >> And then it was empty. Now it is a space just for grown-ups. Are you ready to see? Mm- >> 1 2 3 open. deserve this. Thank you. I’m just excited for the kids to be able to explore without me being like, “Ah, not in here. Ah, over here. Get lost. Not in the kitchen.” Trying to Let’s tidy up because we got to go to bed and your chaos can’t be on top of your sheets. You guys have just provided them this space where they can be kids. All right, mama. Can we bring your kids and show them cuz I’m dying for them to see. >> Yeah, they’re so excited. >> I can’t wait. >> One, two, three, GO CHECK IT OUT. Just walking into this room just makes me feel calm and a sense of security and safe place and I want to be down here. >> Come on. >> London, come in London. >> We’ve had a year full of nose and a lot of tears. I feel like for the first time, I can just tell them to have at it and play. Enjoy yourself. This is your space. When you’re met with a challenge like cancer and having young kids, you know, I’m the last person I think of because my fight has been for them. They can play. I can puzzle or I can ride the pelaton, you know, if my neuropathy is on a good day. This overwhelming calmness and together of us just being a family but in our own spaces but together. This makeover just gave me all the feels. It was so emotional and life-changing. And I want the same for you. Maybe right now you’re not having your worst day, but that’s what home organization is for. If you do it now and make your home effortless and feel just lighter, if you do have your worst day, you’re ready. You’re prepared and you can just carry on because your house catches you. It doesn’t add friction. It makes your life better. I hope you’re feeling like mega inspired. And I have another makeover coming in 2 weeks. It is also going to blow your mind. So, make sure you like and subscribe and I’ll see you guys next time. Thank you guys so much for those of you who have stayed to the end. I have a squirrel saga update for you. If you guys remember, I built a squirrel box and I put a camera in it like a couple months ago and I had a baby squirrel and his mom, his name is Gerald and Helen moved in. It did not take long for Huey, Dewey, and Louie to be jealous and to completely take over Gerald’s house. And I was like always looking at the camera. Gerald would try to go in his house and Huey Dewey and Louie would scare him away. So for my birthday, I built Gerald his own house. Super fun. My family helped me. It looks so good. We hung it in a tree and the very next day, yep, Gerald moved in. I know it’s Gerald because he has a little white spot on his butt. He’s mega cute. He was like bringing leaves and making it so awesome. Two days later, Huey, Dewey, and Louie came in and took over that house, too. Home wreckers. So, I’m looking on my I’m getting very involved in squirrels lives. I’m always looking at my camera and I’m like, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, you have your own house. Share. But it’s ending happy because last night on the camera, Huey, Dewey, and Louie and Gerald were all in the same old box. So, like Gerald’s given up. They’re just now one big happy family and they have two homes to share. So like silver linings and stuff. Anyone else obsessed with old people stuff? Like looking at birds and squirrels? Just me? Just I don’t know. It’s like one day I’m cool and the next day I’m like look at that squirrel. See you guys next time.
