Everyone needs a friend like Darcey.
This has only begun and I'm already thinking " Justin is all for decluttering the house... But I'd like to see what happens if they go after the tool/outbuilding inventory!
My first thought as well. Start with his cupboard to the left when you first come in the door to the house. Ha ha. Can't wait.
Amen!!! The men are always ready for the home things to disappear, but those tools are different they say. I call it hypocrisy.
My husband says this often- he’s afraid of that too!!!
👍🏻💙🦋
Oh my. Goodness. Please. Keep showing decluttering of 22 years of stuff! I am getting so inspired!
How are you doing?
It’s fascinating to see Rebekah get so into something that she was so anxious about 👏👏👏
So glad to see Darci on your channel! She’s the best. What a sweet friendship you have! The progress looks great. 💛💛
Good day
How are you doing ? 😊
As someone who LOVES cleaning and organizing and helping others do the same, this video is amazing!!! I am heading to my Mother in Law's today to do just this!
Once you declutter, containers can have a purpose to keep like things together. Label it. Just don't use them to throw any junk in - keep them organized. Everything should go on its shelf or in its labeled container. Large shelves with no containers can get crazy. With all those kids and necessary equipment, I think that properly utilized containers can be essential for staying organized.
Yeah, I wouldn't get rid of any of those nice containers. You'll always find new uses for them. She can use those in her root cellar, for her canning supplies (lids, rings, etc.). I every once in awhile "purge" my cosmetics, bathroom products (conditioners, sprays, lotions, nail polish, etc.) and downsize to smaller containers, or find different and new uses for the bigger containers/totes. I even have put some small gray plastic containers on my husband's workbench downstairs. He throws small odds and ends in one, and it's a cool way for him to use to put the few tools, screws, etc. he may need when he's fixing something around the house. Then he can carry it all back downstairs when he gets done with the small project.
Plant covers for these wacky up and down weather! Perfect for keeping frost off of the plants!
I think it's a preference... I love to have similar items in containers. It would make me crazy to have everything sitting on a shelf. I think you can be a minimalist and still utilize containers.
Always easier to help get rid of stuff when it's not your stuff. Always good idea to have help.
How are you doing?
“I’ve spent the last 20 years decluttering my husband.” Made me chuckle. I can so relate! 18 years ago I married a single father of five and I’m still working on it 😉.
Oh heck no!!! Canvases going in the dumpster lost me! As an art teacher I am constantly watching thrift stores for used canvases, they can be painted over and reused. Always donate before dumpsters!!
Love her laugh when she realizes Darcey is right. Getting started on de-cluttering can be overwhelming. But BOY do you feel better when everything is clean. Great job you all.
Rebekah, you and Darci worked your butts off. The place looks amazing!!! It's hard keeping every thing organized, and to a minimum. You've inspired me to be more minimalistic.
Friendship and laughter sure helped the process of reflection and release. Families can really generate STUFF -- and it's not terrible. We're all due for a good cleanup every now and then.
Loved this episode! Have never heard Becky laugh so much in a video. This is defiantly a feel good video. I'm trying to declutter my home and this video was inspiring.
Really proud of you Rebecca. Good job!
I love see Rebekah! Even if she forgot to film things it is nice to see what she does in a day. Purging and getting rid of is such a great feeling. We did similar to what you are doing now. Moved into a small space for a year threw out things we didn't need had a storage shed for other items. After a year when we moved items out of the storage shed we threw out even more!
Don't be embarrassed......we all need to declutter our lives of the unnecessary and the distractions that keep us from being who God wants....Your effort and determination is very inspiring.....We all need people like Darcy to help us.
It's wonderful to be able to declutter! Knowing some things can be set aside for different types of storage gives you permission to get rid of it later or have a ready spot for it at another time. Moving is SO MUCH easier when you clear out the extra stuff.
Good day
How are you doing? 😊
Proud of you for paring down! I learned to live minimally after my house flooded. Sometimes it takes a life upheaval to get your priorities straight.
Wow!! It has really started! Darcy is a saint!! A hard working friend whom we all need!!
Moving really does help to eliminate clutter and it definitely helps to have someone who isn't attached to any of it tell you what to keep and what to throw away. Great job, Darci!
I'm taking this as a sign to start my spring cleaning this weekend. getting rid of stuff I don't use or I don't need
What a blessing Darci is! She's an amazing help.
Y’all I have to say I love how much reading your family does, with all the screens and what not around today it’s so refreshing to see
So glad Darci is with you!!! She really is the best at decluttering!!
"Konmari," has been a blessing in my life! Letting go of unnecessary items is so, therapeutic!
Good day
How are you doing? 😊
We’ve missed Darci so much!! So awesome she’s there to help y’all out!!
❤️ y’all! Linda and family
Those clear containers, don't throw them away, they're great for keeping frost off of your plants! If you don't want them, just send them all to me! Lol seriously I'd take them all. Along with your shelving units that you don't want.
Love y'all! Been watching you all for years! Since before the bus! Idk how many years that is, but y'all are like the best UA-camrs! I've learned sooo much!!! Thank you for that! And for making us, your audience, a part of your life, thank you!
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the family and the weather over there?
I am inspired. I SO need someone like Darci..Thank you for this video and much needed inspiration to declutter and bring peace into our home. 💕
Rebecca’s containers totally get because I watched get organized by using containers yup just another catch all🤣🤣🤣. We had many photos so we scanned each one (a long task) now on a hard drive backup. We downsized from Alberta to Ontario 10 years later when retired to Mexico we still had boxes from our Alberta move😂😂😂it’s hard but so worth it, congrats on how well and hard it’s going 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Thanks again for sharing your time,thoughts and family with us it’s absolutely educational and real life it’s such a teaching moment for everyone who struggles,it really is helping so many people across the world. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was so inspiring! I wish I had a helper to come help me organize and purg! I love seeing the before and afters!
I am literally watching , pausing, and then going through my stuff, come back and watch, pause and return to my sorting and throwing away... amazing the motivation it's given me to do what I've put off. Thanks for sharing and motivating!
Where do you start?? I came to the comments hoping someone would lay out Darci's rules or framework -- I think it's kind of Konmari mixed with just professional inventory keeping (back stock) -- where things alike are kept together and such ...
Any tips??
the more storage I created, the more stuff I kept, after all, I had all that space, all that room. One day I heard The Minimal Mom on UA-cam. She asked: how much stuff do you want to manage? that did it for me. to this day I hear the word 'manage' and decide that I do not want to manage more of anything. It really is that one word for me: MANAGE. Darcie is a wonderful help to you, congratulation.
Becky, you have no idea how much I needed this video. Thanks so much 🙏🏻 💓 ☺️ 💗 💖
Decluttering while packing what a great idea. It's been three years since I did the whole house, ours was as cluttered as yours. We moved last year and in a few weeks I've planned to declutter again. So nice to have 'expert' help. Her videos really helped me too. So inspiring.
When we sold my last home we downed sized a from 2200 to 1300 square feet. The way I went thru my stuff was 2 things the number 1 was does this make me happy if it did it came with me. Number 2 has this item been not worn or used in 2 years if not it was gone. I lost weight and had gotten rid of my smaller clothes but its ok.
On one of the days you Rebecca said that your feet were hurting, I am only watching you guys and my brain is hurting, you are doing so good.
When the pandemic hit, I began cleaning out my home, bit by bit. Now I am down to just the very best of my things. It feels great!
I just loved this video! Thanks for being vulnerable & showing this! I love organization and de-cluttering and love seeing this!
I've decluttered with my wife for so many moon rises I have mastered ability to read the first sign of facial twitching and eyeball rolling as a precursor to something bads gunna happen and that the silent frozen wide eyed death stare is tme for a hasty retreat to my garage. Great job Rebekah.
Question: what about children’s art that they want to have later on in life as a saved memory to show their children?
Just as Rebekah was saving an art piece she made as an adult and had the good feelings of making the piece with the memories of it, I thought about how children have those same feelings and memories. Is it wise as an adult to discredit their feelings of their art and throw them out when we affirm our adult feelings of our art and keep them?
I am 62 years old and have no memories of my childhood except heartbreaking moments where my existence wasn’t validated. I don’t remember one hug, or I love you, or a book read to me. I have no remnants of my childhood to reminisce or leave behind. I’ve always heard how patchwork blankets were made in a way that told of family stories, containing patch pieces of clothing wore to go with the story and were passed down to the next generations. I have none of these nor do i know my families story. It always feels like an empty place within with no memory or story to think upon.
Please, regard and respect the children’s feelings about their art work as you do your own while throwing their masterpieces away. Blessings.
May Jésus-Christ 's love heal your heart and give you what your heart desires. I pray that what can come back to your memory , from your past, come back in à surnatural way.
God can do it.
Blessings !!!
My friend says if you haven't used it or touched in a year throw it out, or give it away.. No more clutter.. Way to go! Clean it out...❤️
Oh my goodness, she should totally go into business. Do you know how many people need to declutter their lives, She did an amazing job.!!!!!
Rebecca, I so can relate to this issue. However, life happenings have turned me into want to be minimalist lol! Congratulations! You did it! 😊❤️🙏
This was outstanding! I think decluttering is essential for calmness and clarity. You guys are going to be so happy you did it! Darci is AMAZING at motivating and encouraging - so glad she was able to help you. Enjoy your new lower-maintenance daily routine!!
THANK YOU!!! I didn't know there was such a thing as a storage container hoarder. THAT"S ME lol. Bless our hearts. I love mine too! SO you inspired me today. I destroyed my closet! Took it ALL our and tossed and piled and then put back ONLY what is necessary. SO much happier. I am following your minimalist journey Rebecca!!! Bravo. You Go Girl!!!!!!! So excited for your new homestead home for you and your sweet family
Good day
How are you doing? 😊
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO...you are not alone!! I'm excited to see this in the long term. That is my struggle. I've done really well in the beginning, but then I want to repurpose everything and THAT is my struggle. THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!! I think once your build is done and you're settled in. This could be an annual purge!! I know you got my fire lit!! I would love the encouragement!!
I am the same way! What can this be used for, oh, I can put a plant in it! I am down to 4 rooms to declutter, eliminate and clean in the home remodel. I hate living with all the stuff and it is overwhelming. Not to mention it can be a fall hazard when you get old. At 68 I must be careful and I am ready to be free!
I’m so jealous. Darci Isabella is one of my favorites. I was so excited when they moved to FL. I was hoping to talk her into helping me declutter. I had planned to contact her about it, but I’ve been so preoccupied with our youngest daughter as she goes through cancer treatment. But when she gets better I’m going to be begging her for help!
Proud of you weeding out the old. Keep all your books and create a library space for the kids. It's so nice of Darcy to help you. She has you laughing your way thru it. And you look really happy while working
Rebecca KEEP THE CONTAINERS! Girlfriend if you are attaches to them because it helps you to feel organized then keep them!
WOW! That's incredible work! That must feel incredible
Purging feels so good afterwards, thanks for sharing your adventure
Thank you for showing us the clear out
I LOVE Darci!!! So cool to have her there to help. You all did such a great job! Well done!
Good day
How are you doing? 😊
2 minutes in and my lazy bone is already moaning about getting inspired to do something about my maximalism. Thanks y'all!
I started my declutter in 2020 during lockdown. Was amazing how much I cleared out. My bedroom has been my biggest success. Clothes are still all folded and neat, even according to colour. maintaining the space now is so easy. Since the initial declutter I’ve done 2 more, I’m definitely a fan of minimalist. I have a rule that if something comes into the house then something goes out. I like containers, they’re useful in keeping same items together especially for kids.
Do that now in preparation for moving. This house has my stuff, my parent's stuff, and my grandparent's stuff! There's even a few great-grandparent's things. It's harder than just deciding 'I want/need this' when it's family stuff. Thank goodness my sister is willing to come and help. Don't envy you guys a bit. Good luck.
Everyone is different, some need containers others don’t. It’s true that some containers are just trash storage but some are very useful.
Good job for you and have fun decluttering. It’s true , it’s peaceful when its de cluttered
Rebecca is a Hoarder! My sweetheart was a hoarder. It’s nice she has a friend to help her with this. Hope she will pull through 😉
It’s hard not to be when you’ve not moved for 22 years
Thank you !!!!!!!!
Whew! I'm exhausted just watching all that decluttering! Darci reminds me so much of my oldest daughter "put that down Momma...that is nothing but a dust collector" (when shopping in a store). I'm hoping this will inspire me to go find a room to declutter (many to choose from). Loved this video!
I am officially inspired. Also, I have Hashimoto's too and seeing Rebecca's energy and how well she looks was great! Encouraging.
Cleaning out is very cleansing.
I have cleaned out and found things I didn't remember I had. My husband has multiples of stuff. He has a harder time letting go. Beautiful one, get rid of those containers. Breath in with the good, breath out with the bad.
Good job. 👍
I've been a minimalist since 2006 and always love seeing how different each one of us is with how we clean or sort things, but I LOVE seeing the progress you have made through the help of Darcy. HEHE. You really did have a LOT of stuff!!! What amazingness that you got rid of SO many things. Way more than a lot of people who fully declutter the first time.
Good day
How are you doing? 😊
I'm not a total minimalist but I don't have any clutter in my house either so I found this video too much to watch all the way through. Well done to both of them they did a great.
@@imeldadiaz4164 good to hear,
I’m Daniel Mason, from USA how about you?
Y'all could use extra containers to make worm bins, spawn fish for your ponds, trays for seed starts, a mobile sump for priming pumps in the field, etc. Lots of ways to make them useful. Otherwise give them away, Justin knows how long plastic takes to degrade.
Wow what an incredible friend! Being able to accomplish so much in 4 days is awesome. I don't think storage containers are the villains. They keep the stuff from being spread out everywhere! The big trick is to have time to go back & get rid of things. Good Job Ya'll!💗
Fifteen years before retirement, we took our career knowledge and headed for the mission field. We sold our retirement home and auctioned off almost everything. We lived out of our suitcases those 15 years and would do it all over again. Too bad our retirement years are starting to collect things again. 😂 It's the American way. Kudos to Darci!!
I love Darci Isabella's channel - so happy to see that you both are friends
I can't wait to watch the renovation series.
Great job Rebekah! Everyone needs a Darci! In saying that , we need more of you A Little Way!!!!!
I love the jars painting. Im glad you're keeping it
I need a Darci!!! Good job!
How moving can be good. Peel the onion!
When we moved from the family homestead where we had lived for 22 years, oh the layers that were revealed in the basement storage shelves. My mom had grown up during the depression where everything was saved.
I've moved many many times, I feel good with a deep purge.
Carry on
Paint those canvases white for another session.
Justin is a clutter enabler! 😂 The decluttered areas look great!!
Thankyou for giving me the incentive to declutter my life
Love this so much.
Declutter like a MOTHER. Good book.
Also, you’ll never go back. It literally literally relieves SO much anxiety. Clear space, clear mind.
Good for you!!!!!
I went to help sister pack up her house after living there for 40 yrs. In one house. OMG it took us right up to the moving day to decluttering and we did the keep - never touched- donate- and well??? She even had old electric bills. BUT we found lots of beautiful pictures too. Was a walk through our history. Now that she is here back home (moved back to our birth city) she is still kinda of decluttering. Good luck.
Darci was above and beyond a 'helping' friend! Hope you record Justin cleaning out his stuff since he's quite assertive in your processes!!🤣
I love this. I have moved a few times. Just trying to get two house holds together. We were widowed and married 8 years ago. I want to be a minimalist. Bec you can do this. Life is less stressful when things are gone. Proud of you.
That lady Mrs, Dracy is amazing she did a great jib helping you decultter. Can I just say I love seeing videos from Mrs. Rebkah
A HARVEST RIGHT freeze dryer would help you a Lot with storage space and help you empty out some of those freezers.
Whoop whoop 🙌🏻 way to go!!! Nice to meet you Darci Isabella!
As you look for a place to put your freezers, remember your electrical load. You may find a room that will contain all the freezers, but you'll need several circuits to keep from blowing things out if they should all come on at once.
This was a great video! I laughed out loud several times. I’m sure I speak for many when I say we would LOVE to see more content from Darci and you too Rebekah ❤
I'm so impressed with how you are letting go of "stuff" Rebekah! Darci is a Godsend! I think you might be having more trouble letting go of the containers than the "stuff". I like it! It's very inspiring! Love this! Thanks for this video Rhodes family!
I love that beginning was actually the decluttering because I love when the title is what the whole video is about or at least most of it, I wouldnt have cared if this video was an hour, it would be awesome to watch!! God Bless Yall
BRAVO! I am facing a move and this video gave me inspiration. I need Darci!!
Rebekah looks so good and full of energy! I love seeing it!! And it must be so refreshing to declutter everything~ decluttering is also something that you can-not-do-alone. Declutter always with someone~ proud of you Rebekah!
Darcy needs to do a workshop on Abundance Plus. Please please please 🙏
What incredible work you are doing! Be proud of yourself! ❤
I loved loved loved seeing this place decluttered! Stress lift for you.
It was so fun to see you with Darci. I love her channel too!
Awesome video what a brave woman you are I am still packing stuff around from when we move to Maui and then back to the mainland I think it's time 10 years later
You are doing so well . Honestly, that is no easy task . It looks overwhelming, but Darci is really encouraging and organised. Great help.
Great team work of all the family.
I am impressed how much staff you shifted , and still smiling 😊👍
I laughed SO HARD when you took the Rooted Life out of the box and just placed it sloppily on the book case. I know full well Rebecca is going to see it later and have to reorganize it on the shelf. This is such a total man thing that my husband does all the time 😂😂
This is so exciting. God bless!
The wire containers would make great nesting boxes for your chickens and rabbits
We have a micro homestead with four small kids. We have been on our journey to minimalism for about 4 years. So happy for you guys and look forward to watching how it will slowly change your lives!❤❤❤❤ my perspective on minimalism is to focus on what’s important and get rid of things that hinder that(it is whatever you want it to be). I like the idea of walking into my door and have it give me the feeling like of a spring day, fresh and rejuvenating.
Rebecca I m having a good laugh !!! Really containers are needed !! Actually we collect so much and don’t throw away !!!
Pam here….decluttering is tiring…hheee. So much discussion and ‘thought’ about every item! When we moved to a new house with small kitchen we had to redo. I put all my kitchen stuff in boxes in basement, and a decluttering person suggested that if you need something have to go down and get it. Then FIND permanent home for it in kitchen. After 6 months to a year…whatever you haven’t retrieved from basement…you can get rid of and likely NOT miss. She was right.
