I heard the phrase "I grabbed it right away" or "directly put it in the donation spot" a couple times... I'm sensing a theme of dealing with the items right away! That's my struggle, I often put them at a halfway point and then they get hauled out again. Thanks for the motivation to deal with the items right away!

My daughter is on the dance team, and she has 8-10 costumes every year. It’s obnoxious! I feel ya!

Nice haul Mary Ann! Love your vids as always. I have a buy nothing group and post to give things away on there weekly!

I love that Annie Rose is always working along side you!

❤❤❤

Watched this on my lunch and then after dinner got rid of so many of the kids old toys from the garage. Thank you!

My BIG win for the week was that my children finally decided they could part with their kids' size picnic table. It's a nice wooden one, gifted from the grandparents and was well loved. BUT my kids are too big for it. They were emotionally attached so I tried not to push but when they heard a family with Preschool and Kinder ages kids was looking for one - they happily passed along! Win for us - we now have room for a table that will fit our kids and a win for that family - a free table to use and enjoy!

The realization of the “Hair and Heat” basket 😂

Fantastic video! Lots of good tips and I am very inspired to start a budget😊

Love the dedication to running for the art boxes no matter how out of breath you get. Some tips are that important! 🤣 And over the years I've gotten pretty good at reusing the bins and bags I already have, but the tip about flat surfaces is definitely a good one to keep in mind! I feel like I'm in a constant battle to organize them, but one place that it works for me is on my bookcases. I have a lot of books and not as much space, but I've gotten creative with double stacking shelves which in turn prevents me from letting stuff pile up on the edges of shelves and looking cluttered. It's such a small amount of a flat surface, but it has a big impact on me.

Great tips! Good luck with your channel. I look forward to seeing more.

Decluttering really helps! I have a chronic conditition, and decluttering regurlary just make cleaning much easier, much faster by not having to move items. Sometimes I also have Mobitlity issues, and bending to move items on the floor ist really painful. It also helps eg if I am in the hospital or come home after surgery to not have to explain to people where they can find stuff to help me.

Hi totally agree with the flat surface. I have a partner who just drops stuff wherever. ADrove me a little bit mad. By removing flat surves, the possibilites for evolving clutter were reduced drastically. Win Win!

awesome tips, but unfortunately you didn't get enough views on your videos, because you have some SEO issues on your channel. would you love to solve the issue?

Hi there, I was analyzing your UA-cam channel. your content is excellent but your videos do not have perfect SEO. Your channel optimization is not perfect. some issues with your channel like not adding SEO-friendly titles, video tags, descriptions too short, not add channel tags, and video end screen. I can help your channel ranking fast. I also help you with Instagram organic growth.

Yes to using what you already own!! I needed a small basket for my son’s toys but I ended up using my husband’s bin he was using to store electrical cords. I put the electric cords in a reusable bag and took the bin for my son’s toys! I also wanted to line the bottom of my cabinet but instead of buying liners I just cut up a cardboard to line underneath and it works perfect.

I wonder how long we’re going to find random tiaras throughout the house?

This video ended too soon. Looking forward to more! ❤ love your vids Maryann. 30 year old first time mama from San Francisco Bay Area ❤

These are my fave kind of videos from you. I love that you talk about what and why you are decluttering things. You are very intentional about it. ❤

Excellent decluttering motivation. Double purchases happen to me all the time...and you're right when our little ones are sick we're not thinking clearly for sure. Thank you for this advice. 🙌☺️

You’re telling me you don’t leave home without a slap bracelet?

This is such an important topic. Thank you for sharing about your Dad. I am in the same boat and could not agree more! <3

I didn’t expect to laugh necessarily during this video, but the “…maybe they went to Menchies with teacher,” had me laughing out loud! 😂 You’re hilarious, Mary Ann! And oy, the bags from the dentist. I finally put a stop to them (“no thank you”) when I realized we had 14 travel-sized toothpastes. Fourteen!!!

Haha I had that exact same Bubba from our honeymoon but I purged it when we moved.

“I honestly don’t know where she gets them from” 😂 Another great vid! It’s 8pm here and I was just snacking and chillin watching your video. ❤

I'm always so surprised at how much I can get done in such a short amount of time! Great work!

Your china may have lead in it. Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, don’t get me started on the book fair stuff! I remember an educator allowing my now-adult daughter to bring something home from a book fair for which she didn’t have enough money to purchase, and having to send more cash in the next day. I was LIVID! The clutter that came home thanks to those!

❤❤❤

Great video! Yes to the Book Fair. My girls buy the most random things there! 😵‍💫

❤❤❤

I love your videos! They're always so motivating!

I saw in a Facebook Decluttering Group (at least for those in the States) a company called Replacements, LTD will buy dishes, tableware, etc via the mail. I haven't personally done this yet but book marked it as my grandmother and mother both collect dishes and each own thousands. I know I will not want/need all of these when the time comes to downsize their houses.

I have a Spyder winter coat that is super nice. Most expensive jacket or coat I’ve ever bought. I had the zipper replaced in it a few years ago. I have had it for at least 10 years now and it’s still going strong.

I completely agree and I have found so many of these things to be true… when I started decluttering my house, I started to appreciate its beauty (even though it is very dated) and I found myself truly enjoying cleaning and caring for our things.

Same also with the file boxes and pulling on the box til I feel up to putting it in its folders in the box. It was the best investment after marriage to put all our paperwork in a file together to make a cohesive and easy system

I am also the person in our home that takes care of the paper. I have the same file box and do exactly the same thing with papers I don’t have time to file right away. Too funny! I like your idea about keeping paper that your husband needs to deal with in a designated area/basket. Usually that stuff ends up somewhere on the kitchen counter as, for him, it’s very much “out of sight, out of mind”. Have tried various things in the past but nothing has stuck yet 🙂. Hello from NL!

Ugh already not even 1 minute in and it’s so relatable!!! I lost my favorite lip moisturizer and I was thinking of just buying another one today. But I’m holding out, hoping I can find it somewhere in my house.. my toddler must’ve tossed it somewhere! I’m determined to find it so I don’t have to make a repeat purchase

❤

Tomatoes should be kept at room temperature not in the fridge.

Just found your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos. I’m in my mid 50’s and my son is 20. One of my current goals with decluttering is to minimize the amount of stuff I will have to move when I eventually downsize/move and what I am leaving for someone else to deal with later. Random question though..noticed the books you were letting go of. I am reading the Apothecary’s Garden now, just wondering how you liked it. 😊

Makes perfect sense. 🙌☺️

do you keep church dresses or is her seasonal dresses also double as church dresses?

If you don’t find kitchen items randomly throughout the house, do you really have kids?

❤❤❤

Love this motivation! We're trying to get our budget under control and this is perfect to watch. 😊

Great video! Watching while I'm doing a weekly reset / clean too!

Great video! I really loved getting to see your sorting at the end.

Im very conscious of having second-hand be my default. I definitly still mess up but I think in general trying to reinforce buying things second-hand helps out. And it's typiclaly very easy to find stuff in good quality second hand

5:30…2 days later takes a photo of them sleeping in the car 😂 how could we resist though?!
