Another thing have you thought about moving your closet bench in your garage? All the way down to the corner. Next to the wall, it will give you more usable space in your garage on the Right side
I'm 73. I get rid of at least 20 items each day. Some are give aways, some are throw aways, some are trash. My mom hoarded papers and trash. Yesterday, it was craft items I wasn't using. Two days ago, I took a bag of clothes to Salvation Army. I own 8 shirts and 4 pairs of slacks. Tina, Al's wife
Hello! I saw a hoarder clean video and that led to a cleaning motivation video and then yt played this one. I don't have kids but I rarely used cleaning chemicals. I actually use a vinegar soap water mix in a spray bottle. Cleaning or bugs, they both get the same spray mix at them. I have 3 years of decluttering so I look forward to take baby steps to really have a home that pleased our Lord Jesus. Thanks for this video collection, looking forward to more. God bless you all!
I saw a superball under the oven. My sons had a huge superball collection. One is 24 and one is 19. I still find random superballs in the oddest places and it brings a smile to my face.
I want to declutter but my husband keeps saying we're keeping them for the kids. Ours are not what our children or grandchildren will want. He keeps saying they will 😢😢. We need to declutter any ideas. The kids already told him they don't need them. 😢😢😢
@@sheliashaffer2916 my husband would say these things too. I asked him, if his mom held onto a bunch of things, would he want them? And he said no. It was hard for him but he did eventually become okay with me decluttering things. We still keep some sentimental things for the kids but not too much
Hi! I’ve been watching your videos and I absolutely love them! I’m actually listen to one right now while I’m cleaning! I have pretty moderate ADHD, OCD and anxiety so I struggle a lot with maintaining and organizing my home, but I have found having someone with me as an “anchor” really helps me stay on task, and playing your videos has helped me transform my entire home in my weekend! I have seen a noticeable difference! You spoke about “the dark side of minimalism” and how people will declutter too quickly. I wanted to share my own personal story. Back around 2010 I had been with a guy I had been dating for a few years, by that time it was about 3ish years. My mom had passed away rather suddenly from cancer and I was undiagnosed ADHD, OCD and anxiety at that time, so he would always get frustrated that I was disorganized and that I still had a lot of my mom’s stuff. That by the 1-2 year after her passing mark I hadn’t gone through everything and gotten rid of it all. So, in panic of not wanting to lose him too I did a massive purge and I absolutely regret it to this day. I got rid of many many things that I can never get back and part of me is extremely heartbroken, part of me is relieved I don’t have that massive amount of stuff in addition to my own, another part feels guilty for feeling relieved, another mourns the loss of my mother over and over again when I think about the items I got rid of for a man that I ended up splitting up with 2 years after that, but I try to focus on that rational thought that creeps in and reminds me that I cannot change the past and rather than focus on the material items I lost (and can’t get back) focus on the memories I’ll have for forever. Thank you to you and your family for your videos! They are so inspiring!! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry; as someone who is sentimental, I totally understand how heartbreaking that can be! Just know your mom isn’t in those things, and she is always with you. I hope you can find comfort in maybe someone else enjoying the things that once belonged to your mama. Thank you so much for sharing your story & for being here! I’m glad I can be someone who can help you, I understand how being disorganized makes for a cluttered home, because I’m the same way! Also have undiagnosed ADHD. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing…….. it looked perfect to me. Definitely motivating. Thank you for sharing your personal space. As far as the cleaning, vacuuming the garage rugs and mopping; no you’re not crazy. Everything looks stunning. I hope I can meet my own goals. Awesome, thank you.
Hi there ! Sorry to hear that but I always sweep my garage and vacuum my rug in my garage as well. It is normal and I recommend it. Best wishes !!! 👍🏻🙂🙋♀️
Jeez, even your “clutter” examples are nicely arranged. Very unlike most of ours, which are randomly piled, squeezed together, and in constant danger of becoming an avalanche! 😱🌊
Omg. This is me. I love watching these videos and get motivated UNTIL I look around my bedroom and literally see piles turned into a wall almost as tall as me. Then I literally look and try but last like 15 min. I’m at the point of not even looking in boxes of clothes and just throwing them in a bag to donate. I’m at that that point. Plus I have sciatica so my back kills me. I work overnight shifts and exhausted during the day. The Kamari method I don’t even have to do because it’s all literally piled in front of me 😞
@@Mimiof297 Bless your heart ❤️! If you are doing 15 minutes, that’s a great start! A to Zen Life 10 MINIMALIST RULES THAT HELPED ME DECLUTTER was helpful for me. Also Taryn Marie HOW ATOMIC HABITS HELPED ME OVERCOME….
With a big move coming up, and having to move out of the house I brought my babygirl home and made memories in, I needed to see this. Ive been going through my things tryin to minimalize my trhings to make space for new memories
@@marithdekloethis is how my approach is as well! Although Dana K White's container system is ingenious!!! Have you heard of The Clutterbug? She's EXCELLENT as well!
My bathroom needs a major declutter and organize done , thankyou for the motivation to get it done I am making over my bathroom so this really needs to get done !!!!!
Really awesome vid! :D. One thing I would mention is I don't understand how or why people have an attachment to stuff. Stuff is made and then they break down and can be destructible. People can gain stuff, and then they lose stuff. So in the end stuff is not permanent. People cannot take money or stuff with them when they die. All of that stuff is temporary. You win some, you lose some. You gain stuff, you lose stuff. Stuff is not important. What's important is yourself and your friends and family. Having fun and happy moments with your friends family and loved ones. People are far more important than stuff. Heh. If you need to, you can take pictures of the items and keep them on your phone or something. And remember the good memories. But in the end all of those clothes and stuff is going to end up either donated or thrown out. Anything thrown out is usually typically simply dumped in landfills and they stay that way for years upon years upon decades upon decades, until the government finally gets off their ass and does something about them. Lol. Stuff comes and goes. If you need to, you can remember the good and happy moments by seeing your kids every day. But eventually you will need to let them learn and grow up and become capable and able to live and enjoy their own life and make their own path and learn from their mistakes and become a capable independent adult. The other thing. Remember children takes a lot of your time, work, effort, and energy. From feeding and raising to teaching and playing, which is actually a ton of work and takes up a lot of parents' time. When you and your husband could spend quality time together and stuff, lol. And have personal time for yourself. Heh. Remember as the kids learn to grow up and become independent, you as parents end up having more free time for yourselves. Lmao. And yes I understand because I have a kid of my own. LOL. To me part of being a good parent is protecting teaching raising them to learn how to protect and take care of themselves.
Haven't watched it all yet but will drop the question since the kitchen video is just over. Where do you store plates, serving dishes, containers, etc? Did I miss it? So far, I'm enjoying it! Thank you.
I think that was the only cabinet I didn’t go through! My plates are in the cabinet next to the fridge, serving dishes are in the bottom cabinets closest to the door to our playroom, and Tupperware we keep just below where the baking cabinet was! I think I skipped over those because they didn’t really need to be gone through. Glad you are enjoying 🥰
You’re nicer than me about the husbands drawer. Although, I don’t think my husband would make a drawer that hairy cuz he knows how me and our room mate feel about seeing a huge mess. I’m just surprised he doesn’t clean up all his hairy mess when he’s done. In my home growing up, I’d get in soooo much trouble for leaving small bits of shaved hair anywhere. Sweet that you did it for him tho. I just organized my husbands face washing drawer cuz he left all the cleansers and lotions on the sink
Omg dish soap and vinegar is amazing!! I do go over with antibacterial soloution like detol after mainly in bathrooms and really dirty areas and in the kitchen ☺️ i stopped using unnessasary cleaners since im prgnant again with my second baby and scents from cleaning products making me sooo sick 😩
My kids are 49, 47, and 42. Keep one baby outfit or dress from each. I have a few art projects and awards. My husband has his mom's glassware and dishes. I have my grandmother's utensils but we use them everyday. Tina, Al's wife
For decluttering sentiment items, that I didn’t need and were just keeping because it sparked memories, was to take photos of them and print them, then I made a memory photo book. That way I could see it, have that memory it sparked but not have the physical object taking up space.
Re: vinegar It's not technically a disinfectant but it's highly acidic which can kill certain microbes & break down other particles like dirt & grease. Per healthline, vinegar kills roughly 80% of illness-causing germs, inclusing e.coli and salmonella. That isn't up to EPA specs but is still pretty good!
This is exactly what I needed to push through and finish decluttering my house. Thank you! P.S. You should read Fourth Wing if you haven’t already. It’s amazing! I’m basing this book rec solely on the titles I saw on your bookshelf lol.
I’m glad I could help!! And YES! I loved Fourth Wing, I’m patiently waiting until November for the next one lol I’m currently reading the bonds that tie series, it’s really good if you like dark romance/fantasy!! Which I’m assuming you do haha! Thanks for watching 🥰
What? People think sweeping a garage is weird? I've never heard that. Not sweeping the garage is weird. LOL How does one keep it clean if it isn't swept? I keep cars in the garage too. I know not many people do. That must be weird as well. =) Great job!
If you are a sentimental person that likes keeping certain clothing items that belong to your little ones, consider having those items made into a quilts. Keep one bin for each kid where you put a few items of clothing per year in it. When they are about to get married or have their first child, have a quilt made from those clothing pieces and give it to them as a gift.
@@whitneypea My pleasure. My grandmother made my parents each a crochet blanket almost 40 years ago when they got married. I received them 14 years ago as a wedding gift and I love those blankets.
Hey there, just came across your channel! Maybe you like this idea for the old baby clothes so they still have a use: a friend of mine made a blanket with her daughters clothes after she outgrew them. So you still have the memory’s, a use and they aren’t just in a box or a bag in some closet:)
I just found your channel and loved whatching this video. You did a great job! I started decluttering in 2020 and I am still not finished yet 😅 it is so overwhelming. Have you heard about the "swedish death cleaning method"? That helped me a lot when I am struggeling. 😊
Just mop the living room and my back is screaming! Of course I have been up since 3CST and cleaning in spurts (I take a break when my back starts hurting). I hate to hit the dining room/pantry because everyone was using it as a catch-all.
You realise that you don't actually use most of the cleaning tools only after a while. Inspite of having a vacuum, it's usually hand cleaning with a wet mop that I reach out to. Minimal tools is a lesson i learnt.
A bit late here, but a channel called field of focus tests the bacterial load on different surfaces before and after using different cleaners, including some natural ones. I won't spoil the results for you, but she has some vinegar and dawn dish soap videos. In my opinion, the best non toxic sanitiser (not necessarily cleaner) is hypochlorous acid. It's what our immune systems produce, its safe around kids, pets, on your skin etc. It doesn't cause breathing issues and is very gentle on skin, whilst being insanely effective (many times more effective than bleach). It does all this whilst not promoting bacterial resistance, which is a problem with sanitisers. You can make it at home with a generator, buy it already made or use nadcc tablets dissolved in water. NEVER MIX WITH VINEGAR THOUGH. HOCL should be treated like bleach as far as chemical interactions go. Personally, because I am on my own and my home doesn't get a huge build up of dirt, I clean with a some kind of dish soap, or even a squirt of hand soap if its closer. I then spray it down with hocl. I have quite an interest in probiotic cleaners too. I'd love to see some independent testing of them, so if anyone knows of any, please let me know! If we could just mainstream some effective, more natural cleaners, and make them affordable, then the world would be much better off!
This is a totally random question but what dummy does your sweet daughter have in the bathroom part? 15:24 it’s so cute! I absolutely love your channel and I’ve been binge watching! Thank you for your hard work and inspiration ❤
Sweet, wonderful YOU! You are enough, your home is lovely, and your family is lucky to have you working so hard for the space you share. Please make time to love yourself. I love the title “Messy to Minimal”….though I wonder if it has left you feeling pressure to reach an imaginary and impossible standard. I hope not. How about a reboot…”Messy to Lessy” 😊. At 50yrs old, I have had long held the philosophy “the more you have, the more you have to clean”. My heart breaks every time I see you work so hard, accomplish so much, and finish with a sigh, saying “it’s far from perfect”. I don’t know what perfect is to you, though I have an idea, and I promise, if it were ‘perfect’ it would be no better than it is right now. Uncluttered, accessible, and clean. Many are struggling to get to where you are, so let’s be okay with that being great…even if everything isn’t color coded, acrylic crated, Cricut crafted, mod-podged and milk painted. Uncluttered, accessible, clean. Perfect. ❤
This is the nicest comment I’ve ever read 🥹 thank you so much for your encouraging words! You are so right! It doesn’t need to be perfect, functional is what matters most to me! Thank you for being a kind person 💘
@@whitneypea Cool! I will have to look around next time I go shopping there and hope they have those or something similar. Thank you. I totally enjoyed your video. It motivated me on my journey in decluttering
I was wondering about the brown sugar I put it in a clear plastic container that was for ingredients like that the container you put it in did it get hard or stay soft
Hello I'm a new sub. My name is Mae. I'm a UA-camr also. You are amazing. So glad I came across your channel helped me clean while I watched( well listened). Hope to see more.
I love that you're a Sarah J Mass fan! Great books!! I love too that you shared about not wanting to get rid of the baby clothes yet. I feel that same way every time 😢

Hi! I’ve been watching your videos and I absolutely love them! I’m actually listen to one right now while I’m cleaning!

One thing I would mention is I don't understand how or why people have an attachment to stuff. Stuff is made and then they break down and can be destructible. People can gain stuff, and then they lose stuff. So in the end stuff is not permanent. People cannot take money or stuff with them when they die. All of that stuff is temporary. You win some, you lose some. You gain stuff, you lose stuff. Stuff is not important. What's important is yourself and your friends and family. Having fun and happy moments with your friends family and loved ones. People are far more important than stuff. Heh.
If you need to, you can take pictures of the items and keep them on your phone or something. And remember the good memories. But in the end all of those clothes and stuff is going to end up either donated or thrown out. Anything thrown out is usually typically simply dumped in landfills and they stay that way for years upon years upon decades upon decades, until the government finally gets off their ass and does something about them. Lol.
Stuff comes and goes. If you need to, you can remember the good and happy moments by seeing your kids every day. But eventually you will need to let them learn and grow up and become capable and able to live and enjoy their own life and make their own path and learn from their mistakes and become a capable independent adult.
The other thing. Remember children takes a lot of your time, work, effort, and energy. From feeding and raising to teaching and playing, which is actually a ton of work and takes up a lot of parents' time. When you and your husband could spend quality time together and stuff, lol. And have personal time for yourself. Heh. Remember as the kids learn to grow up and become independent, you as parents end up having more free time for yourselves. Lmao. And yes I understand because I have a kid of my own. LOL.
To me part of being a good parent is protecting teaching raising them to learn how to protect and take care of themselves.
Awesome, I had this playing for motivation while I was decluuttering!! ❤❤❤

Donate anything you would or would not buy because everyone has different taste and style.

Hi! Great job !!
By the way, if you use the right vinegar for cleaning it’s enough but it has to be 12% not the one we use for food.
Ahhh good to know!! Thank you!
I add some alcohol, isopropyl, Tony vinegar and water with the dash of dawn to my regular spray bottle to get me the disinfectant factor.
Smart!
I'm getting so Many Ideas from this video. Yaay❤

I appreciate your content!!!!!
Thank you!
Do you reuse the baskets for like boo baskets/valentines baskets/easter baskets or do you buy new ones each time?
I reuse them 😊
I totally sweep and vacuum the rug in my garage.
You're amazing! Take a break. Enjoy those babies. ❤❤❤
Thank you!
i love the style of your home so much! thank you for the motivation today
Thank you so much!
What? People think sweeping a garage is weird? I've never heard that. Not sweeping the garage is weird. LOL How does one keep it clean if it isn't swept? I keep cars in the garage too. I know not many people do. That must be weird as well. =)
Great job!
If you are a sentimental person that likes keeping certain clothing items that belong to your little ones, consider having those items made into a quilts. Keep one bin for each kid where you put a few items of clothing per year in it. When they are about to get married or have their first child, have a quilt made from those clothing pieces and give it to them as a gift.
That’s a really cute idea! Thank you for sharing with me
@@whitneypea My pleasure. My grandmother made my parents each a crochet blanket almost 40 years ago when they got married. I received them 14 years ago as a wedding gift and I love those blankets.
@@laurent3415 that’s so special! I love that!
Yes! I steam my microwave and it wipes down easily!
Yes it definitely works the best!!
I sweep mine often! ❤🇨🇦
Hey there, just came across your channel! Maybe you like this idea for the old baby clothes so they still have a use: a friend of mine made a blanket with her daughters clothes after she outgrew them. So you still have the memory’s, a use and they aren’t just in a box or a bag in some closet:)
Love that idea! Thanks for sharing with me!
I just found your channel and loved whatching this video. You did a great job! I started decluttering in 2020 and I am still not finished yet 😅 it is so overwhelming. Have you heard about the "swedish death cleaning method"? That helped me a lot when I am struggeling. 😊
I have not heard of that but now I think I need to 😂 it sounds interesting!!
I think you did a wonderful job.
Thank you!
I like that you say you don't follow kon mari method to a tea, that means I ma not alone, that is what I like to do too
Yes! I like to tweak her method that works best for me!
Just mop the living room and my back is screaming! Of course I have been up since 3CST and cleaning in spurts (I take a break when my back starts hurting). I hate to hit the dining room/pantry because everyone was using it as a catch-all.
Oh no! Take a rest if you can 🤍
Hi there Whitney Happy Holidays 🎄🎁🥰❤
Happy holidays ❤️❤️
I don’t even have enough money to buy a vacuum cleaner😢 But your videos are really motivating ❤
Thank you so much!
bro same lol. their generation is so lucky they dont even realize it.
You realise that you don't actually use most of the cleaning tools only after a while. Inspite of having a vacuum, it's usually hand cleaning with a wet mop that I reach out to. Minimal tools is a lesson i learnt.
A bit late here, but a channel called field of focus tests the bacterial load on different surfaces before and after using different cleaners, including some natural ones. I won't spoil the results for you, but she has some vinegar and dawn dish soap videos.
In my opinion, the best non toxic sanitiser (not necessarily cleaner) is hypochlorous acid. It's what our immune systems produce, its safe around kids, pets, on your skin etc. It doesn't cause breathing issues and is very gentle on skin, whilst being insanely effective (many times more effective than bleach). It does all this whilst not promoting bacterial resistance, which is a problem with sanitisers.
You can make it at home with a generator, buy it already made or use nadcc tablets dissolved in water. NEVER MIX WITH VINEGAR THOUGH. HOCL should be treated like bleach as far as chemical interactions go.
Personally, because I am on my own and my home doesn't get a huge build up of dirt, I clean with a some kind of dish soap, or even a squirt of hand soap if its closer. I then spray it down with hocl.
I have quite an interest in probiotic cleaners too. I'd love to see some independent testing of them, so if anyone knows of any, please let me know!
If we could just mainstream some effective, more natural cleaners, and make them affordable, then the world would be much better off!
Natalie bennet is great for messy to mi imal...shes called it that for years
….okay
Bathroom please. I never know which products are the best x
This is a totally random question but what dummy does your sweet daughter have in the bathroom part? 15:24 it’s so cute!
I absolutely love your channel and I’ve been binge watching! Thank you for your hard work and inspiration ❤
Thank you so much! It’s the itzy ritzy pacifiers! Amazon & target sell them 😊
Such agreat video to watch. Very inspirational.
Thank you ☺️
Sweet, wonderful YOU! You are enough, your home is lovely, and your family is lucky to have you working so hard for the space you share. Please make time to love yourself. I love the title “Messy to Minimal”….though I wonder if it has left you feeling pressure to reach an imaginary and impossible standard. I hope not. How about a reboot…”Messy to Lessy” 😊. At 50yrs old, I have had long held the philosophy “the more you have, the more you have to clean”. My heart breaks every time I see you work so hard, accomplish so much, and finish with a sigh, saying “it’s far from perfect”. I don’t know what perfect is to you, though I have an idea, and I promise, if it were ‘perfect’ it would be no better than it is right now. Uncluttered, accessible, and clean. Many are struggling to get to where you are, so let’s be okay with that being great…even if everything isn’t color coded, acrylic crated, Cricut crafted, mod-podged and milk painted. Uncluttered, accessible, clean. Perfect. ❤
This is the nicest comment I’ve ever read 🥹 thank you so much for your encouraging words! You are so right! It doesn’t need to be perfect, functional is what matters most to me! Thank you for being a kind person 💘
Where did you purchase your nice wire/canvas lined organizing baskets? I’d love to buy some for my linen closet. Enjoyed your video ❤
They are from Walmart 🥰
@@whitneypea Cool! I will have to look around next time I go shopping there and hope they have those or something similar. Thank you. I totally enjoyed your video. It motivated me on my journey in decluttering
@@Celeste.Cooper I’m so glad to hear that!! Thank you so much 🖤
@@whitneypea You’re welcome ☺️
New here! Your baby is ADORABLE!
Thank you so much!
Girl, I have 3 crock pots too. They are way too useful to only have one
Yes, I definitely agree!
I was wondering about the brown sugar I put it in a clear plastic container that was for ingredients like that the container you put it in did it get hard or stay soft
You should keep the candles incase of a power cut
I do have some candles for backup :)
Hello I'm a new sub. My name is Mae. I'm a UA-camr also. You are amazing. So glad I came across your channel helped me clean while I watched( well listened). Hope to see more.
Thank you so much!
Where did you get your various sizes of clear containers?
I love your videos
Thank you!
Walmarts organic spices come in those same square glass shakers. Just buy the organic ones instead!
Yes I did notice that! I’ve bought a few over the last few months!!
Beautiful baby!! ❤️❤️
what cleaner do you use on your stainless appliances?
Maybe you should store the laundry tabs and paper cutter higher so your little one doesn’t get into them.
I love that you're a Sarah J Mass fan! Great books!! I love too that you shared about not wanting to get rid of the baby clothes yet. I feel that same way every time 😢
I love SJM! I’m currently reading the TOG series, but took a break to read iron flame since it came out last week! 😍
Congratulations on the bundle of joy beautiful family love her name she is so beautiful like mom god bless ❤
Thank you!
I vacuum and sweep our garage. I have even washed the floor. We have a six car garage and live on a farm and it gets nasty.
There is nothing wrong with vacuum your garage.
what kind of weirdo make fun of you. Fantastic decluttering, 😀🥳
Where did you get the hanging organizer in your daughter's closet ?
Amazon! It’s linked in my storefront in my description of this video under “girls room”
