My 5-year old granddaughter and I cleaned out her drawer at my house 2 days ago. She watched a video similar to yours the night before - she told me Grandma we need to make 2 piles - keep and donate. I made sure she understood what donate meant and we did a great job. Thanks for sharing your experience and hard work with us. Two thumbs up !
Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for decluttering your home minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 finally got astronomical results with it.
Cheers for this, been searching for "organize home clutter" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
I used to stock up on stuff, but even when deeply discounted, it still takes up space and represents money and time occupied with buying, storing, sorting, etc. I've been married 25 years, and I've learned less is more, and that less stuff means greater efficiency in cleaning and budgeting. It's all personal preference, in the end. But seeing your video reminds me of me 15 years ago, and standing on this side of it I would never go back to that way of life. I don't miss having a closet full of cleaning supplies and toiletries because I look at the concept of frugality and savings in a different way these days. In fact, I delight in empty drawers and shelves. Good for you for working on clearing stuff out and organizing; keep it up!
I really struggle with understanding the compulsion of turning one's home into a storage unit. Excess toiletries/cleaning supplies doesn't make any sense to me, especially in homes that lack sufficient storage to begin with. No one needs 10 years of cleaning supplies and toiletry on hand at one time. The quality of the products degrade over time and she could pair it down to 1 of the 4 stack storage shelves for what they ACTUALLY use..
@@AB-ol5uz I think some people think they are saving money by buying things with coupons, but they would save the most money by not buying the products at all. Laundry detergent=make your own. Dryer sheets=dont need. Commercial cleaners=use water and vinegar. Body washes= use bar soap. Paper towels= cut up old towels and launder when needed. Coupons encourage wasteful hoarding.
yes to a certain extent but this day and age you still have to have a well-stocked house I would say a year worth of food are year, worth of water for everybody in your family in case of nuclear war or any other issue flood whatever you still have to have items to cover those issues but otherwise yeah you don't need a year worth of clothes and you don't need! you know yeah you probably do need a year worth of cleaning supplies in case one of those things happen you never know but otherwise there's other ways you can minimize and still be safe for your Loved ones!!
I tend to keep one extra of each thing under the sink. That way if I run out, or a little one decides to pour it out, etc, I have a spare. This is only for toiletries and cleaning supplies. It sucks buckets running out of swiffer wet mop refills halfway through cleaning the floors, lol! So one tote of spare cleaning supplies, and one small basket of spare toiletries. When I toss an empty, I add it to the list to restock my single spare.
I appreciate the realness of this video. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to show us your home, there nothing more motivating than real life. I don't get this motivated when seeing someone clean an already clean space, that's tidying up not cleaning. I wish I could love this video. Great job!
Cheers for the Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (erm, check it on google should be there)?

I didn't realize how much stuff we had until I declutterred. I appreciate our home more since I have gotten rid of what we don't use. Now I make a monthly schedule to stay on track. Love what u did.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind comment. There is too much negativity but everyone has lots of clutter in their own way. You could walk into our house and never tell. We all accumulate a lot but when its all in a pile we can see it better. So far its felt amazing and easier to keep up with. I like the idea of a monthly schedule. Thanks again!
A real person with a real home . Thanks 😊 I went thru 6 other videos of ppl with perfectly organized & decorated unlived in looking homes . 🙄 who needs that . Give me real every time.
There are a few factors in ways to de clutter . One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Nilah declutter tips (check it out on google) definately the best resource i've seen.look at all the extraordinary information .
I watched the first 7 minutes, turned it off and worked 3 hours. Threw out 2 trash bags. Now it's evening and watching the rest before bed so when I wake up I can keep going. Thank you ❤️
Do you realize your subscribers include a 70 yr old wife of 50 yrs who LOVES all your neat ideas. I am anxious to purge ALL the things we do not use! You are doing a great job...thanks!

What a sweet little helper! I particularly liked the way she had to try every balloon to make sure it worked!! Keep revisiting and paring regularly all the sites tidied and you will find you can get rid of even more stuff. Good job, ladies.
With children I don’t want to be a minimalist. I don’t think people understand this whole “konmari” it’s like if you don’t throw everything away and have zero left over you’re not decluttering enough. My house has been like this for almost 3 weeks now and none of the spaces I have decluttered are bad. It’s working out great for me. Thanks so much 💕
Minimalism is the art of not being able to bullshit yourself with your justifications. People can explain all day why their purchases are warranted, why their houses are full, and online strangers will agree. But when you go home and your cupboards are bursting, you honestly know it's not because of lack of space, it's because there's just too much crap.
I like how real and how practical your video is. You cleared out a lot of stuff and still kept what you needed and tidied up what you kept. Some videos after tidying up show an extremely empty house which makes me wonder how realistic it is because life still goes on but must be orderly of course.
I love how you dump everything out, organize, and replace only what’s necessary. It’s honestly the best way to do it-even though I often find myself dreading the thought of making a major mess first! This has been a great motivation for me.
Shame on anyone saying anything negative. I appreciate seeing your process in a real home! Too many of these vids are of someone cleaning/decluttering their perfectly clean space. Also, I love your little helper. She is adorable.
your daughter was so cute trying to help and be like Mommy! great job - doesn't it feel wonderful? I started my declutter journey about 6 years ago and I still feel like I could get rid of a tonne more...Good Job!
She always helps. She’s wonderful. It feels amazing. Although we still have a lot I don’t see the point in getting rid of brand new items to have zero left over iin the house. My kiddos have a lot of stuff my life is consumed by them lol but someday they’ll grow up and I won’t have all this extra mess and I will miss it so much. But off subject my life has been easier since I’ve started 😃😃 thanks so much 😃
Your children are so blessed. Love all the board games and arts and crafts! Some great family interactive play going on! Way to go! Awesome job making all those decisions about what to keep and what to let go!
We play 2-3 board games a night. We have a lot but we play every single one besides the ones we donated. And crafts are an everyday thing as well 😃 thank you so much
So I'm a Grammy now but when our children were growing up I would send them to their grandma's house to play with her while I cleaned out closets and toy chests. You know they rarely even realized stuff was missing! ☺ Now with just my husband and myself I still do a declutter about every 6 months and I feel so free and happy when I can sit back and know THAT closet is clean. (And also know that when I open it sheets, towels, table cloths, etc. won't swallow me up completely!!😬) I love your videos and it was a pleasure to subscribe to your channel.
Your daughter is so adorable; reminds me so much of my 3 girls who are all away now at University. Miss them and am nostalgic for the kiddie clutter we used to have.
I also would like to say that it is very hard to let go of stuff most of the time, it can be sad if one is sentimental and being sentimental can slow the process of decluttering. You did great! I’m sure ALOT of the negative commentators on here have lots of stuff in there homes as well! Don’t let people take your joy!
Holy cow, you were at it. It truly does feel good to clean an area of your home, get rid of things you are not using and donate them or out into trash. I feel better knowing I have a. Clean house and am helping others. Love your little helper, so cute!
You did a great job! I wish I had all of your energy. You have beautiful helpers and they are not just helping they are also learning! I have to say that I keep reading how people think you have too much cleaning supplies and art supplies and etc... All I have to say is, Bull! People use to say that about my house and then hard times fell on me like a ton of bricks and I was ever so grateful for those items that others deemed as"too much". You keep being you and Mommy on!
Thank you. Yes I started couponing after I quit my job to be a stay at home mom. And living on one income sometimes isn’t enough so I started couponing and it really helped my family out of some tough times. But people are too fast to judge. Thanks again 💕
Kristin Kay you're welcome girl! Maybe you could do a vlog on couponing... I know my daughter and I would love to learn. That is, if can ever find time too. I know just how busy you are. Lol
I would love to but I did quit couponing about a year ago. It’s a lot harder than it used to be and the couponing $ amount it dollars lower than they used to be. I would love to learn how to coupon at CVS so if you know anyone 😃
Rose! Great comment & I agree!!! Kristen you rock girl!! Love watching!! Love your energy! You just jump in & have fun with it & your such an awesome mama!! Love how you are so Real involving the kiddos, keep being your wonderful self!!!💕✌🏼
Your method of decluttering really resonates with me! I found the concept of doing a whole room at a time too daunting to get started. Breaking it down to areas instead of whole rooms seems much more doable. I think I’ll start with our hall closet and pantry. I love the idea of seeing results sooner by tackling the trouble spots first. Thanks for making this video!
You go girl!!!!! Lawd Jesus your house is full like mine! I’m determined to declutter this year. So far so good. You are doing a great job. Now I have to go rest my eyes after watching you work so hard!!😂
I think we all have a lot of stuff. I’m not a minimalist nor do I ever tend to be one. We like our stuff too much. But it feels great to get rid of unwanted things or at least put things in the right places 😃
My fiance and I have been decluttering our house. So far we have two full large home depot boxes and two large recycling bags full of clothes. I also cleaned out like 30 expired spice jars, freezer burned foods from both the freezer chest AND the freezer. Its crazy. And that hasnt even made a dent. But it still feels good.
Such a pretty little helper. I used to stockpile stuff, as I got good deals on it, and I just had too much at a time. Oh well, I did what worked for my family.
You did an amazing job. I love your helper.....When I declutter it takes forever like you said. I went through every drawer in my kitchen and pantry. When I was working or away for a few days I would come home and I wanted to cry. I try to be nice, but the wicked warden comes out. What I hear is why does it matter, it was fine. Mom you don’t need to worry, nana I really wanted that because my mom gave it to me. Yes our grandchildren live with us since my daughter passed away 3 years ago. I try and get rid of things when no one is home. They don’t realize that it’s gone. But then I come across a memory and I fall apart. That’s all it takes and I throw in the towel. Kristen you have done a great job. Your children are young so you can place things in a great place. Keep inspiring all of us. Yay on the potty training too! I have 6 children all grown but started over 3 years ago, thank goodness they are potty trained. Thank you for your beautiful smile.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My oldest daughters dad passed away almost 5 years ago. It’s still so heartbreaking. We have a lot of his items and a couple things that were made or he gave to Scarlet before he passed. Let them keep those items no matter how hard it is. I have totes of items that belong to Scarlet of her dad and I figure those are hers and she can do what she wants with them when she gets older. I don’t find that hoarding what so ever. Memories are hard. Keep up those smiles for those grand babies they need you 💕💕
Kristin, Thank you. I never expected a reply. It’s hard not to tear up from your nice comments, I don’t like to air out my dirty laundry, I’m very sorry about your daughters dad. Keep doing what your doing, your very sweet, thank you.
What a great little helper you have :-) It looked like you at least keep everything of a kind together, but just hadn't organized it very well. Bet it felt great to purge all of the things you no longer need. Love your advice on tackling small areas. I spend 20-30 mins when I get home from work getting my fridge or a cupboard cleaned, the vacuuming done, etc. Works well for me.
@@KristinKay us too! My side of the family has never been big on gifts, and we have half the grandkids there, but my husband's side we have the only kids, and he was 1 of 6 kids, while I was the oldest of 3. My kids get so much stuff from them! I am teaching them to purge as well. 4 bedroom house and we are expecting baby number 6, so we need less stuff, hahaha
The older you get, the more you will realize how little you truly need. I can't imagine having that much stuff. My Mom kept EVERYTHING.Every time I start to collect too much, my Daughter accuses me of being like her Nanny! LOL I have two closets in my bedroom, and 1 is almost empty. I use it for Christmas decor.My main closet has maybe 10 outfits, 3 pairs of shoes.You did a great job on organizing.I would have been overwhelmed with so much stuff.
BUNCH OF HATERS! I can not believe all of who are giving Kristin a bad time about her home. No one here wants to hear what you have to say. So get over yourselves. 🌟Kristin! You know I love ya gurl! ❤️💪😘 TYFS your home with us! 💘💘💘
@@trinketbox4171 I understand what you're saying. People that are going to judge, post negative comments, and say mean things need to look in the mirror. Everyone needs to stop talking shit. And build each other up. But there are too many angry jerks out there who enjoy spreading their hate everywhere they can. It just makes me sick. Because I know if people would provide constructive criticism, Kristin would have been more than happy to engage them. I don't blame her for not wanting to listen to that crap. She posted a cleaning video with hope of help people, not for people to rudely judge her, and her home.
@@trinketbox4171 Further more, why should Kristin have to disable comments because people are jerks? Why should she have to suffer because people can't act like adults? She deserves to receive all the positive kickback her subscribers want to send her. We all heard the golden rule at some point as children. As adults I would expect people to follow it.
@@trinketbox4171 I apologize if I misunderstood. I re-read it, I'm still interpreting it the same. Your last comment seems clearer. You're saying she has the OPTION to disable comments if she wants, correct? Not that she SHOULD disable them? I agree posting your personal life on social media does open up the door to judgement ect. But as a viewer/subscriber why spend your time going around saying things you know might be hurtful?! Why not politely offer your suggestions in a positive manner? Personally, if I watch a video I don't care for I just move on. I'm not going to waste my time bad mouthing someone. What is the benefit in that for anyone? Nothing. All I'm trying to say is if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I guess I just don't understand why people can't wrap their heads around such a simple concept.
You are doing such an amazing job! Your precious "assistant" deserves a raise of 100 extra hugs and cuddles per day for being so helpful! Lol. She so adorbs helping! I so miss those days!!! 👍💕
So motivating !✨I think storing those board games vertically standing is easier for grabbing and returning later.. but make sure to seal their covers at least on the edge that the box stands on..
That was alot you decluttered. ..Awesome Job!!! Yes great accomplishment regardless of what negative people want to say so yes girl be proud . Love ya!!♡♡♡♡
You go girl!! That was awesome! Your daughter is such a good helper. My kids are boys and because we did that when they were younger they now keep their rooms really organized, YAY! It looks great!
I miss my kids being that little. They were the best helpers! Teens suck lol.... its awesome that you are teaching her to do this kind of stuff at such a young age! It's an important life lesson that so many of us never get taught and these days, so many kids are not taught anything important like this. 2 thumbs up! To all parents who are still actually parents! You and your daughter are adorable and this video is what I needed to get my booty off the couch and pitching lol thank you!
Great video! You have a lot of games!! LOL. I probably couldn't keep all the pieces together. Thanks for showing us....makes me not feel like I'm the only one.
I can’t believe how much you got through! Love your helper! Totally motivated me! It’s just me, hubs and animals now. Kids are out of the house but we definitely need to purge! 💕💕💕💕💕💕.
As soon as I buy more than one of something, I suddenly become aware of the fact that as a responsible consumer that's not the type of product I want to use on my family, in my home, and in the environment.
@@KristinKay I'm saying this because I know for a fact if I had extra $$$$ I would be out shopping and buying whatever homedecor I liked whatever clothes I liked whatever cleaning products I liked. I don't run my finances because of this maybe my husband has more than he tells me for my own safety but I wasn't trying to be rude or simply that you have a shopping problem. I am literally thinking of only myself.
@@tbaker4171 yes I tried couponing and I got so much stuff I couldn't handle it. I have been using one cleaning product for my hole house for a while now and I like that better because I just carry one thing around while cleaning and i don't have so many chemicals avaliable. And with little children I dont have to be worried they will get into it.
I been dying to do that to my home. But I work full time and on my days off I have to clean, do laundry run errands, groceries and so much more. But watching your video, I’m taking your advice and doing one thing at a time to accomplish all the things I want done. I’m also getting married. So sometimes I just wan t to scream!! Lol.. not to mention, my fiancé wants us to buy all house through all this as well. He’s going to kill me. I can’t see planning a wedding. Working , and moving to a new home will help me at all. But before we do all that I have to de clutter. Since we live in a two level home and I have so much in my closets. I live to change my decor a lot, you can imagine that stuff I have saved through out the years. Anyways, enough with my rant lol. Ty for the cleaning inspiration. Love your channel. But I tell you that all the time. Till your next video, byeee!!
I don’t work so it gives me a lot of free time unless my kids need 150% full attention that day lol. Even if it’s one small drawer. Or while you’re doing laundry (folding towels) go through that cupboard. Something little make a huge difference. I’m working on smaller areas now and they only take 10-15 minutes. 😃
This folding method has saved my life lately. My oldest daughter used to tear her drawers apart looking for things. She’s 8 and she even told me she liked her things folded like this way better. It’s helped so much
Wow! What a great job!! Don't know how you did it with your little one in the middle of everything! LOL! It's good to be young and full of patience. hahahaha!
You are doing an excellent job I don’t know why people feel the need to say rude things. This motivates me to go through a few areas that have been bugging me.
My 5-year old granddaughter and I cleaned out her drawer at my house 2 days ago. She watched a video similar to yours the night before - she told me Grandma we need to make 2 piles - keep and donate.

Your children are so blessed. Love all the board games and arts and crafts! Some great family interactive play going on! Way to go! Awesome job making all those decisions about what to keep and what to let go!
We play 2-3 board games a night. We have a lot but we play every single one besides the ones we donated. And crafts are an everyday thing as well 😃 thank you so much
So I'm a Grammy now but when our children were growing up I would send them to their grandma's house to play with her while I cleaned out closets and toy chests. You know they rarely even realized stuff was missing! ☺ Now with just my husband and myself I still do a declutter about every 6 months and I feel so free and happy when I can sit back and know THAT closet is clean. (And also know that when I open it sheets, towels, table cloths, etc. won't swallow me up completely!!😬) I love your videos and it was a pleasure to subscribe to your channel.
Yes it’s really amazing. My kids are with me 24/7 unless ones at school. But I don’t mind them messing things up or helping out at all.
I love your little helper❣️. She watches mom then does what you’re doing 💜
GREAT VIDEO, I NEED TO DO THIS TOO IN MY HOME. CUTE LITTLE HELPER. HAVE A BLESSED WEEK.
You have a precious little helper. ❤️
Now I have to clean out my closets and drawers. This is the best declutter video I've seen.
Your helper is precious! When she kind of tripped on the clothes pile and fell on it, then decided it was fun and did it on purpose….priceless! Lol
One thing I enjoy when watching these videos is seeing some of the decision making as you think it through.
You are a very smart mother. Teaching your little girl how clean. Great job. 👏🏼👏🏼
I love that you let your daughter "help." Emptying drawers is a toddler's dream! Lol. I bet she was happy!
She wants to help do EVERYTHING. She’s a pretty independent kid so I let her help with everything, even if it does take longer
Your daughter is so adorable; reminds me so much of my 3 girls who are all away now at University. Miss them and am nostalgic for the kiddie clutter we used to have.
I love that the child is so helpful.🤗😍
Love your little helper
I also would like to say that it is very hard to let go of stuff most of the time, it can be sad if one is sentimental and being sentimental can slow the process of decluttering. You did great! I’m sure ALOT of the negative commentators on here have lots of stuff in there homes as well! Don’t let people take your joy!
Holy cow, you were at it. It truly does feel good to clean an area of your home, get rid of things you are not using and donate them or out into trash. I feel better knowing I have a. Clean house and am helping others. Love your little helper, so cute!
Thank you so much.
Have you ever heard the phrase ,another person's trash is another person's treasure , that was me for this video😂
Watching this in 2020 is an absolute dream! This is goals 😍
You did a great job! I wish I had all of your energy. You have beautiful helpers and they are not just helping they are also learning!
I have to say that I keep reading how people think you have too much cleaning supplies and art supplies and etc... All I have to say is, Bull!
People use to say that about my house and then hard times fell on me like a ton of bricks and I was ever so grateful for those items that others deemed as"too much". You keep being you and Mommy on!
Thank you. Yes I started couponing after I quit my job to be a stay at home mom. And living on one income sometimes isn’t enough so I started couponing and it really helped my family out of some tough times. But people are too fast to judge. Thanks again 💕
Kristin Kay you're welcome girl! Maybe you could do a vlog on couponing... I know my daughter and I would love to learn. That is, if can ever find time too. I know just how busy you are. Lol
I would love to but I did quit couponing about a year ago. It’s a lot harder than it used to be and the couponing $ amount it dollars lower than they used to be. I would love to learn how to coupon at CVS so if you know anyone 😃
Kristin Kay oh I gotcha! Thanks for letting me know, that is a bummer.
If I do find someone that coupons at CVS, I'll definitely let you know. 😊
Rose! Great comment & I agree!!! Kristen you rock girl!! Love watching!! Love your energy! You just jump in & have fun with it & your such an awesome mama!! Love how you are so Real involving the kiddos, keep being your wonderful self!!!💕✌🏼
Brave family, playing Jumanji ^^ love the video, job well done!
Lol and then we have to watch the movie afterwards. Scarlet got it for Christmas this year and we play it almost every single night.
I love that your daughter is right there with you learning how to declutter and that it can be fun with Mom!
She loves helping. But then again I don’t think she knows a whole lot more 😃
Your method of decluttering really resonates with me! I found the concept of doing a whole room at a time too daunting to get started. Breaking it down to areas instead of whole rooms seems much more doable. I think I’ll start with our hall closet and pantry. I love the idea of seeing results sooner by tackling the trouble spots first. Thanks for making this video!
You go girl!!!!! Lawd Jesus your house is full like mine! I’m determined to declutter this year. So far so good. You are doing a great job. Now I have to go rest my eyes after watching you work so hard!!😂
I think we all have a lot of stuff. I’m not a minimalist nor do I ever tend to be one. We like our stuff too much. But it feels great to get rid of unwanted things or at least put things in the right places 😃
My fiance and I have been decluttering our house. So far we have two full large home depot boxes and two large recycling bags full of clothes. I also cleaned out like 30 expired spice jars, freezer burned foods from both the freezer chest AND the freezer. Its crazy. And that hasnt even made a dent. But it still feels good.
I love that your little one is helping!!!
Loved watching your little helper! She is adorable. Great job
Such a pretty little helper. I used to stockpile stuff, as I got good deals on it, and I just had too much at a time. Oh well, I did what worked for my family.
You did an amazing job. I love your helper.....When I declutter it takes forever like you said. I went through every drawer in my kitchen and pantry. When I was working or away for a few days I would come home and I wanted to cry. I try to be nice, but the wicked warden comes out. What I hear is why does it matter, it was fine. Mom you don’t need to worry, nana I really wanted that because my mom gave it to me. Yes our grandchildren live with us since my daughter passed away 3 years ago. I try and get rid of things when no one is home. They don’t realize that it’s gone. But then I come across a memory and I fall apart. That’s all it takes and I throw in the towel. Kristen you have done a great job. Your children are young so you can place things in a great place. Keep inspiring all of us. Yay on the potty training too! I have 6 children all grown but started over 3 years ago, thank goodness they are potty trained. Thank you for your beautiful smile.
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My oldest daughters dad passed away almost 5 years ago. It’s still so heartbreaking. We have a lot of his items and a couple things that were made or he gave to Scarlet before he passed. Let them keep those items no matter how hard it is. I have totes of items that belong to Scarlet of her dad and I figure those are hers and she can do what she wants with them when she gets older. I don’t find that hoarding what so ever. Memories are hard. Keep up those smiles for those grand babies they need you 💕💕
Kristin,
Thank you. I never expected a reply. It’s hard not to tear up from your nice comments, I don’t like to air out my dirty laundry, I’m very sorry about your daughters dad.
Keep doing what your doing, your very sweet, thank you.
Your little helper is adorable! Thoroughly enjoyed your video!
Way to go, Kristin!!! You and your little helper are on the roll!!! Keep it up, girls. Enjoy your week! Hugs~ Josie :)
Thanks girl. I definitely have to be motivated to get it done. 😃
What a great little helper you have :-) It looked like you at least keep everything of a kind together, but just hadn't organized it very well. Bet it felt great to purge all of the things you no longer need. Love your advice on tackling small areas. I spend 20-30 mins when I get home from work getting my fridge or a cupboard cleaned, the vacuuming done, etc. Works well for me.
I'm in the process of doing this in my home. I don't have such a cute helper. A lot of work but so rewarding.
Very inspirational! I got started decluttering a few weeks ago and have taken 5-6 bags from one room and just got started! You go, girl!
You have got some beautiful furniture. It always amazes me how we can accumulate so much in such little time.
Everyone does. With kids it can get out of control sometimes. My kids are the only ones in our entire family so everyone. EVERYONE spoils them rotten!
@@KristinKay us too! My side of the family has never been big on gifts, and we have half the grandkids there, but my husband's side we have the only kids, and he was 1 of 6 kids, while I was the oldest of 3. My kids get so much stuff from them! I am teaching them to purge as well. 4 bedroom house and we are expecting baby number 6, so we need less stuff, hahaha
I know!
The older you get, the more you will realize how little you truly need. I can't imagine having that much stuff. My Mom kept EVERYTHING.Every time I start to collect too much, my Daughter accuses me of being like her Nanny! LOL I have two closets in my bedroom, and 1 is almost empty. I use it for Christmas decor.My main closet has maybe 10 outfits, 3 pairs of shoes.You did a great job on organizing.I would have been overwhelmed with so much stuff.
Yes we have done this often. It does feel better to have less
BUNCH OF HATERS! I can not believe all of who are giving Kristin a bad time about her home. No one here wants to hear what you have to say. So get over yourselves.
🌟Kristin! You know I love ya gurl! ❤️💪😘
TYFS your home with us! 💘💘💘
😘 right. Lol. People are a joke. That’s why we have more animals than friends in this house 😂
@@trinketbox4171 I understand what you're saying. People that are going to judge, post negative comments, and say mean things need to look in the mirror. Everyone needs to stop talking shit. And build each other up. But there are too many angry jerks out there who enjoy spreading their hate everywhere they can. It just makes me sick. Because I know if people would provide constructive criticism, Kristin would have been more than happy to engage them. I don't blame her for not wanting to listen to that crap. She posted a cleaning video with hope of help people, not for people to rudely judge her, and her home.
@@trinketbox4171 Further more, why should Kristin have to disable comments because people are jerks? Why should she have to suffer because people can't act like adults? She deserves to receive all the positive kickback her subscribers want to send her. We all heard the golden rule at some point as children. As adults I would expect people to follow it.
@@trinketbox4171 I apologize if I misunderstood. I re-read it, I'm still interpreting it the same. Your last comment seems clearer. You're saying she has the OPTION to disable comments if she wants, correct? Not that she SHOULD disable them? I agree posting your personal life on social media does open up the door to judgement ect. But as a viewer/subscriber why spend your time going around saying things you know might be hurtful?! Why not politely offer your suggestions in a positive manner? Personally, if I watch a video I don't care for I just move on. I'm not going to waste my time bad mouthing someone. What is the benefit in that for anyone? Nothing. All I'm trying to say is if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I guess I just don't understand why people can't wrap their heads around such a simple concept.
@@angcrivellone Because you don't post on UA-cam or anywhere else unless you can live with the fallout.
You are doing such an amazing job! Your precious "assistant" deserves a raise of 100 extra hugs and cuddles per day for being so helpful! Lol. She so adorbs helping! I so miss those days!!! 👍💕
Thank you so much. She really does!
So motivating !✨I think storing those board games vertically standing is easier for grabbing and returning later.. but make sure to seal their covers at least on the edge that the box stands on..
That was alot you decluttered. ..Awesome Job!!! Yes great accomplishment regardless of what negative people want to say so yes girl be proud . Love ya!!♡♡♡♡
Thank you so much 😃
I decluttering today, but first I think I need to cry 😕
You go girl!! That was awesome! Your daughter is such a good helper. My kids are boys and because we did that when they were younger they now keep their rooms really organized, YAY! It looks great!
Thanks so much 💕
I should of watched this in the morning, not at bedtime......now I’m FULL of energy!!! BRAVO sweetie.....looks fabulous!!
lol. I seriously do the same when I watch cleaning videos. thanks so much
Oh my! You go girl! You did awesome! Great motivation! Hopefully it can get me more motivated to do mine! Loved it!
I miss my kids being that little. They were the best helpers! Teens suck lol.... its awesome that you are teaching her to do this kind of stuff at such a young age! It's an important life lesson that so many of us never get taught and these days, so many kids are not taught anything important like this. 2 thumbs up! To all parents who are still actually parents! You and your daughter are adorable and this video is what I needed to get my booty off the couch and pitching lol thank you!
Your little girl helping with the hangers on the clothes was so cute!!
Your daughter is the absolute cutest and I watched this whole video to make sure she got to help mommy out! XD
Great job. Your little girl is so cute & doing a great job helping Mommy
I liked how your kid just came into the room she s so cuteee
this must have taken FOREVER wow great job
You got rid of so much stuff. You did an amazing job on decluttering those rooms in your house. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!
Oh my gosh your little helper is so adorable. So cute how she copy you folding clothes 😍 greetings from Germany
Great job, Kristen! Love your little helper! Hope you have a great week!!
I ♥️ the two of you working together! Thanks for sharing!
Your little girl is precious
Thank you so much!
Great video! You have a lot of games!! LOL. I probably couldn't keep all the pieces together. Thanks for showing us....makes me not feel like I'm the only one.
your kid is the cutest! So sweet helping out.
I can’t believe how much you got through! Love your helper! Totally motivated me! It’s just me, hubs and animals now. Kids are out of the house but we definitely need to purge! 💕💕💕💕💕💕.
It was insane and I'm slowly getting more done. So glad to pass on the motivation!
Wow Im all of a sudden grateful I am not wealthy enough to go shopping and buy whatever comes to mind. A minimalist home is so much easier to clean
I don't have issues cleaning. organizing...maybe! Wealthy enough? Yes. Us rich folks shopping at dollar tree and couponing.
As soon as I buy more than one of something, I suddenly become aware of the fact that as a responsible consumer that's not the type of product I want to use on my family, in my home, and in the environment.
@@KristinKay I'm saying this because I know for a fact if I had extra $$$$ I would be out shopping and buying whatever homedecor I liked whatever clothes I liked whatever cleaning products I liked. I don't run my finances because of this maybe my husband has more than he tells me for my own safety but I wasn't trying to be rude or simply that you have a shopping problem. I am literally thinking of only myself.
@@tbaker4171 yes I tried couponing and I got so much stuff I couldn't handle it. I have been using one cleaning product for my hole house for a while now and I like that better because I just carry one thing around while cleaning and i don't have so many chemicals avaliable. And with little children I dont have to be worried they will get into it.
You're so blessed to have so much & I love your baby helping...so cute. You did a fantastic job in purging & organizing! Please keep these vids going.
Insane amount of stuff. Fascinated with all the multiples. Nuts
That’s gotta feel so good!! I love your little helper!! A little mini you!! ❤️🧩
WOW!!!!! Awesome job! Love your little helper too.
Your little helper was the cutest!
Your daughter is so helpful! Your house looks so organized, I'm in the process of decluttering mine & it's taking longer than I thought!
I been dying to do that to my home. But I work full time and on my days off I have to clean, do laundry run errands, groceries and so much more. But watching your video, I’m taking your advice and doing one thing at a time to accomplish all the things I want done. I’m also getting married. So sometimes I just wan t to scream!! Lol.. not to mention, my fiancé wants us to buy all house through all this as well. He’s going to kill me. I can’t see planning a wedding. Working , and moving to a new home will help me at all. But before we do all that I have to de clutter. Since we live in a two level home and I have so much in my closets. I live to change my decor a lot, you can imagine that stuff I have saved through out the years. Anyways, enough with my rant lol. Ty for the cleaning inspiration. Love your channel. But I tell you that all the time. Till your next video, byeee!!
I don’t work so it gives me a lot of free time unless my kids need 150% full attention that day lol. Even if it’s one small drawer. Or while you’re doing laundry (folding towels) go through that cupboard. Something little make a huge difference. I’m working on smaller areas now and they only take 10-15 minutes. 😃
Congratulations girl...for your coming wedding..
Your little girl is just the best helper. Hi from Dallas.
Awesome job Kristin way to go. I've been doing the same thing. It does give you a great feeling. I love your decorating and your craft ideas.
I love how you let your daughter "help" clean. 😊
Keeps her occupied that’s for sure 😃
Unless these negative people are paying your bills, you don't have to listen to them. You go girl! You did a great job!
Yes thank you 🙌🙌
My 3 daughters room needs this so bad. I need to get in there and purge and clean! Love that folding method.
This folding method has saved my life lately. My oldest daughter used to tear her drawers apart looking for things. She’s 8 and she even told me she liked her things folded like this way better. It’s helped so much
Omg! I’m going to start decluttering my kids art supplies like right now😱
Cyndie here: So glad you were able to get this done/started. I'm gonna tackle my desk. May you continue to be blessed
It’s all always a start 💕 thank you
I’m already overwhelmed
Your buffet was like a clown car. Stuff just kept coming and coming (out). :D Thanks for sharing this!
Wow! What a great job!! Don't know how you did it with your little one in the middle of everything! LOL! It's good to be young and full of patience. hahahaha!
Somedays lol. This took hours and days 😂 thank you
You are doing an excellent job I don’t know why people feel the need to say rude things. This motivates me to go through a few areas that have been bugging me.
Thanks so much 😊
Oh wow you could make a shelter so happy! ☺
