I love it when your mom is with you! She's so funny and it's clear that you both have a beautiful friendship and admiration for each other as well as your mother/ daughter relationship. ❤
When I was your age 64 I started to purge and I don’t miss anything. I understand how your Mom feels at 64. I am now 70 and so happy that I got rid of all the stuff I don’t use or needed. Less to store and clean.
I just can't get enough of this video. Totally my mom and I if my mom would get rid of anything. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this video.
Downsizing Christmas is difficult because it’s a sentimental holiday. I saw a U.K. family that had one simple box of ornaments for a tree. That’s kinda my goal. The key is not to force a theme. But what goes with your home.
Love this, in my family, I help my daughter declutter, because she is very sentimental.... My Xmas decor down to one rubber made... I love knowing it’s just my favorite decorations, easy to decorate, easy to put away after Christmas.... Loved watching you help your mom, my mom used to call me Ruthless lol In the 80s and early 90s everything was about collecting, your mom is right, plates, Xmas decor, dolls, today they are worth nothing, I see these things at antique stores for pennies I sold a collection of Cherished Teddies when they were popular, I made thousands of dollars, I sold them at the right time....
Thank you for another appearance from your mom. The two of you together always makes me smile. Its good that she is doing this now. I am trying to go through a huge farm house full of stuff. My 3 brothers want to just dump everything. My mom painted ceramics and those are special. I want to at least offer a piece to her grandchildren. I feel so torn. Then there's Dad's collections...
Oh my! I, too, keep my Hallmark ornaments in their boxes. (My fav is the "old boyfriend ornament"!) I'm going out to buy bubble wrap and ditch the boxes!
I found this video while looking for inspiration on decluttering Christmas decor. I enjoyed watching the interaction between you and your Mom. She's so cute and funny! I'm really missing my Mom. She passed away 3 years ago, but I know she would be glad to help me declutter, if she were here.
I'm faced with the same exact situation. A lot of the Hallmark ornaments belong to my children. Clearing my own stuff is much easier to do, so I'm starting with that first.
I agree, the Hallmark ornament boxes and their excessive inner packaging it so so fiddly and time-consuming to deal with each year. Nothing wrong with a bit of bubblewrap instead!
I love to watch mom and daughter.I have a son and I don’t think he would do this with me or have the patience. Right now I’m doing the Swiss death cleaning.
Love watching the vlogs with your Mom, decluttering her home. I will be saying "It doesn't flip my switch instead of It doesn't spark joy mowwhen I declutter. Love that both you ladies laughed through the declutters. We have to keep at sense of humour. I am constantly saying to my 4 adult daughters. "Do want this?". And their response is "No, Mom we have enough of of own stuff" Going to try to curve asking. Hope to see more of your Mom.
Love you and your mum working together 😍.. Such a sweet video. In Germany we have hand made wooden tree (and other) orniments and glass orniments so they need individual compartments in storage boxes... They can't be put all together in a big bag (like your mums coloured balls)... So that takes space. I did a sort at Easter because in individual boxes you just don't use them.. .. And I will do another this year to improve the open compartments to make it easier to see what's inside.. I have sorted into 2 tree themes: 1) neutrals, 2) traditional red-gold and then I have 3) special orniments from family and travel. The kids chose the theme from 1) or 2) each year and 3) is always on the tree. It's so true... If it is all in individual boxes you don't take them out and use them!..
When I saw this video it made me realise how good and free and relieved I feel that I got rid of all my Christmas parafinallia a few years ago. And each Christmas I wonder who's house its cluttering up now. Jesus is the reason for the season that's all I need.
This was helpful. I have a BIG tub full of Hallmark ornaments I've been meaning to weed out. Truth is...I haven't put any on my tree for the last 2 years. I guess this is my next project!
OMG - I’m going through the same process right now. I acquired sooo many Hallmark keepsake ornaments in the 80’s and 90’s. It was a passionate hobby. I had so many bins of ornaments, IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES. I won’t tell you how many bins. Fast forward to the present. I have a much smaller home and therefore less room to decorate. I thought I’d sell many but instead I donated and gave many away. A couple years ago I sent my husband to his work with several bins of boxed ornaments hoping his coworkers might want them. And They did! They took the ornaments home to their families. Some added to their own collections. What happened, that I did not expect, was their overwhelming appreciation. It touched me in a way that I never expected. I STILL have many ornaments that I will donate soon, if our donation place stays open for the next week or so.
Thank you so much! I think I am going to take the leap after watched this video! I am very minimal, but I have two bins of boxed ornaments and two bins for my nativity that could fit in a shoe box if it weren’t for the boxes! Thank you!
I think it’s great you live so close to your mom and that you two are on the same minimalism mission. I love watching you two laugh and work together🥰. I miss my mom and all the fun times we had together, but I have only wonderful memories. Ok and this video is so me! I have all my ornaments in boxes and have to take them out and put them all back in every Christmas. I am definitely taking them out of the boxes and wrapping them in bubble wrap like you did. Thank you so much for this great idea!
Your mom and I must be the same age. I had declutter Ed my ornaments last year and the year before without adding any new decor. It was hard, but good. It was a big change because I used to buy a new ornament each year. This year, I might find some more to declutter just because you inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
My precious mom whom went to be with the Lord a few years ago, often gave us Christmas decorations, plush decor, & ornaments for our kids who were young at the time. Every year, I place them through out our home around Christmas. This time, we plan to have each of our adult children choose what decor or ornaments they want. Its a fond memory for our adult children to have in thier homes & a good way to declutter. We will use opportunity to discuss when my mom gave them to us & our loving memories of her. They will have a new home where they are meant to be. Enjoy your informatiion and your relationship with your mom. Fun video
This is so timely!! I am just like your Mom and bought into the keeping the Hallmark ornament boxes!!! We have done the same thing unpack then repack them for years, such a job!!! Also, I have bought my daughter (who is now 14) Hallmark ornaments each year and ornaments from fun trips we have taken (pre-COVID), so she will have her own ornaments to put on her own tree someday that each have memories that hopefully she will remember as she decorates her tree. I am totally ditching the boxes this year!!! You have inspired me again ladies! Thanks!!
I have to say I love this video. I also have my Hallmark ornaments in their boxes. This year I am changing that. Between recently going through and giving my adult children their ornaments for their first trees and removing the bulk of the boxes I am looking forward to having everything in one box and maybe even fitting everything into smaller of the two bins I previously had.
Love your mom!💕 I also was a fool for Hallmark ornaments. I have a full crate for each of my 2 kids. I would add to their collections every year. While they are very cute and the details amazing. I would sell them back to Hallmark in a heartbeat. Lol! Been storing them, waiting for my kids to finish college and get their own homes to put them in. They probably don't even remember most of them, or want them. I no longer fall for the marketing of things. Minimalism is the only way for me. Less stress! I really enjoy your channel. ❤
I so need to do this with my Christmas decor!! I have so much it’s overwhelming! Being a crafter does not help! I seem to buy more each year! This is the hard part of minimalism because “ buying craft supplies” is a very hard habit for me to break! 😳 it’s a hobby of its own!
Not to sound like a sap but this video was so therapeutic for me. I inherited my mom's huge Hallmark ornament collection and this is the first year I've felt up to celebrating w/o her. Then I thought about rifling through all those boxes and became discouraged. But this video inspired me. Thanks Shannon and Mom!
I love videos with your mom. She is great Shannon. I wish I knew you both in real life. I was experiencing the pain of recycling those ornament boxes right along with you mom, but agree it doesn't really make sense to keep if she wasn't using the ornaments bc it was such a pain to take out and pack back up. My mom has gotten 1 Hallmark ornament for each of my 4 kids since their first Christmas and so we have amassed quite the collection. I keep each child's in separate containers and don't repack in the boxes, but I will admit that I still hang on to the boxes. I love that my mom does this. It's the only ornaments we really use on the tree besides bulbs and each child looks forward to their new ornament each year. Thanks for the great video!
I love this! It is nice that they get ornaments each year and the nice thing is they will have all those ornaments when they move out one day. I hope you have a nice week.
Long time watcher. I do love the videos with your mum she's just so funny and you guys seem to have a lovely relationship. Neither of you seem to get antsy during the decluttering process together.
Really enjoyed this video. I sure do enjoy your Mom in your videos. Wow.. My Mom got me some Hallmark ornaments over the years, I never kept the boxes and now have passed all of those to my kids and their family. I used to have all of those Christmas linens; I did donate most of that. It feels good to have less seasonal things; but I do still like to be festive. Thanks for sharing.
Great job ladies! I enjoy decluttering but going through holiday decorations is really hard for some reason lol. I'm sure your Mom really appreciates your help.
I just decided yesterday to declutter my Christmas decorations, i do not have them so nice organised like your mother 😁 maybe i will when i am finished, that would be great. Love from Switzerland
I have to say, I like more than one option how to decorate the tree. I think I have three different color-schemes. For me it is ok because I do not have much stuff for other holidays.
(binge watching at 2am) We have 2 large rubbermaid storage sheds full of xmas items. We used to mega decorate our big yard. Since hubby in wheelchair, I am trying to convince him to go thriugh it and sell for younger generation to do a yearly xmas display. We have so much older items...it could pay for another cruise!!!😅
I don’t know why you have changed your channels and created a new one. I wonder if that is why your subscription numbers aren’t higher. Yours is in my top 5 favorite channels for simple living. Along with Minimal Mom, Erica Lucas, Simple Happy Zen and Joshua Becker. Your channel continues to have useful content for me beyond the first steps of minimizing. Perhaps because it is more about simple living than just minimizing. Another good video. I love your personality and how you interact with your mom. I love her and get good ideas from the videos with her.
This is the same channel I have always had. UA-cam is a weird thing. The algorithm only wants a very specific type of content and that is why I have the second channel. I like to make vlogs and share recipes and more of my life. Any time I put that sort of content on this channel I lost subscribers and I didn't get very many views. The unfortunate side effect of having 2 channels is my time is cut in half on each channel. I wish I could put everything on one channel, but I guess it just doesn't work that way. If you ever see people with 2 channels (most people who vlog have a second channel) this is why. I am so thankful for your support and nice comment 😀💛
You guys are awesome! Love watching you guys declutter! my goal is to get to ONE christmas bin! I understand the box situation. I hold on to boxes too. it helps to hear why and how you guys end up getting rid of things. love your videos! thanks again! Merry Christmas!
Watching this reminded me of the Cherished Teddies ceramic bears Hallmark also sold. I remember going to my sister in laws house during that time and she had a table full of them on display They were at least 10 bucks a piece! :/ Hallmark marketing!!!
I love your videos, especially with your mom. What a great relationship you have! I am constantly decluttering. I can relate to your mom as I was a Hallmark collector as well! I have 2 large bins full of collectable ornaments! What was I thinking?? I will be going through them at some point, but I keep putting it off! Thank you for the inspiration!
My girlfriend has what seems like hundreds of those hallmark ornaments. I helped her unbox all and decorate her tree one year it was a quite the process. I’m glad I don’t go through that with mine every year.
I've never put my hallmark ornaments back in their boxes - mine are all very personal and have stories behind them so I'd never get rid of them. Can't imagine how tedious that was for your Mum. My big dilema is what to do with all the Christmas village houses I collected. We used to put them out when the kids were young but I don't do it anymore. Do I keep for possible grandkids?? Or do I donate? Space isn't a problem for now.
Yay my favourite guest star!!! 🎄😊
Thank you!
@@shannontorrens1 can we please see her entire house? Mom house tour lol. Let's declutter every room and drawer in her house 😊
@@SBSunshine lol you have my vote on that idea!!
Your mom sparks joy!
Aw Thank you!
I love it when your mom is with you! She's so funny and it's clear that you both have a beautiful friendship and admiration for each other as well as your mother/ daughter relationship. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Cherish this time with your mom, I so miss my mom. She is so sweet.💕💕💕
Thank you! We really do have fun together =)
I cant believe its been 4 yeara since this video!❤ I come back to these videos every December ❤
When I was your age 64 I started to purge and I don’t miss anything. I understand how your Mom feels at 64. I am now 70 and so happy that I got rid of all the stuff I don’t use or needed. Less to store and clean.
Actually, I am a big fan of how you are tackling this project. One box at a time is so much more manageable than dragging everything out at once.
The videos with your mom are the Best!
U guys r 2 adorable n funny!
Fantastic job! 👏👏👏💕
You and your Mom work so well together and have so much fun. It is a joy to watch you two!
Thank you so much!
I just can't get enough of this video. Totally my mom and I if my mom would get rid of anything. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this video.
Aw thank you for watching! I hope you have a nice day.
This was fun!
So fun!! I love when your mom has projects. You two are a crack up. 💗
Yay! Thank you!

Brilliant idea to make them easier to use and pack away.

Cant helpbut admire you and your mom’s hair. They look so heathy and beautiful.

I love to watch mom and daughter.I have a son and I don’t think he would do this with me or have the patience. Right now I’m doing the Swiss death cleaning.
I hope we get a Christmas declutter video this year❤
Your mom is so gorgeous!
By the way, her being a grandmother, it is impressive she only had 4 bins!
I'm really enjoying this series. I laugh out loud every time!
One year, after taking down the Christmas items I decluttered the ones that didn't "flip my switch."
Well done, Shannon's Mom! I always love when you get involved in decluttering!
Yes! Thank you!
Love watching the vlogs with your Mom, decluttering her home. I will be saying "It doesn't flip my switch instead of It doesn't spark joy mowwhen I declutter.

This is a hard one. Lots of memories in those boxes.

I know what you mean, the Hallmark ornaments are really cute and very detailed. I think I would sell them back to Hallmark if I could too LOL
I did this and guess what? The kids don’t want them. Not sure what to do, I guess donate them and get the money off my taxes.

I'm so glad!
Great job ladies! I enjoy decluttering but going through holiday decorations is really hard for some reason lol. I'm sure your Mom really appreciates your help.
Happy holidays! Thank you, it is way more fun to declutter with a friend.
Omg I have the same issue 37 years of collecting hallmark. All I do is make a tree out of the boxes so I don’t have to open them!
It takes a lot of work to open them. I like the tree of boxes idea. 😀
I just decided yesterday to declutter my Christmas decorations, i do not have them so nice organised like your mother 😁 maybe i will when i am finished, that would be great. Love from Switzerland
You can do it! 😀
Suddenly very glad all but the special personalised ornaments have just been in shoe boxes my entire life haha. 🎄🎄🎄
Happy holidays!
“That never flipped my switch” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have to say, I like more than one option how to decorate the tree. I think I have three different color-schemes. For me it is ok because I do not have much stuff for other holidays.
That is great! I hope you have a nice holiday. =)

You guys are awesome! Love watching you guys declutter! my goal is to get to ONE christmas bin!
I understand the box situation. I hold on to boxes too. it helps to hear why and how you guys end up getting rid of things. love your videos! thanks again! Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays! Thank you, and I am so happy this is helpful.
Inlove this videos!!
Thank you!
Watching this reminded me of the Cherished Teddies ceramic bears Hallmark also sold. I remember going to my sister in laws house during that time and she had a table full of them on display They were at least 10 bucks a piece! :/ Hallmark marketing!!!
So many people had collections like that! Yes the marketing worked LOL
I love your videos, especially with your mom. What a great relationship you have! I am constantly decluttering. I can relate to your mom as I was a Hallmark collector as well! I have 2 large bins full of collectable ornaments! What was I thinking?? I will be going through them at some point, but I keep putting it off! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love these videos
On the Hallmark site, some of those ornaments sell for several hundred dollars. One was listed at $400. for collectors. You have a fortune. Lol
Haha We looked up everything and the ones we have are not really worth anything LOL.
Love this, your so helpful, im up to 213 items now decluttered this year. xxxxxx
Wonderful! Keep up the good work. =)
My girlfriend has what seems like hundreds of those hallmark ornaments. I helped her unbox all and decorate her tree one year it was a quite the process. I’m glad I don’t go through that with mine every year.
Ha ha It really is a process!
I need to declutter some of my Christmas stuff too. Thanks for the motivation to do that. LOL :)
You can do it!
This was so sweet! I wish I could have done this with my Mom. :)
Thank you, we had a fun time. =)
YES! 😍😍😍
Thank you!
Greetings from Israel so nice you & your Mum get on so well lol 🎄💝🎄
Thanks so much
I've never put my hallmark ornaments back in their boxes - mine are all very personal and have stories behind them so I'd never get rid of them. Can't imagine how tedious that was for your Mum. My big dilema is what to do with all the Christmas village houses I collected. We used to put them out when the kids were young but I don't do it anymore. Do I keep for possible grandkids?? Or do I donate? Space isn't a problem for now.
I debate a lot of things we have as well. To keep or not to keep, that is the question LOL
If you have the space, I would keep for the grandkids. Grandma's house must be special and a Christmas village would do the trick.
LOL…never flipped my switch….
Love the video
Thank you!
I do the same thing with Hallmark boxed ornaments. It's tedious. I don't care about resale because I know I'd never bother to do that.
