You two are just the best! This was motivating and entertaining. Loved the part where you talked about margaritas, why wait?! 🤣😂
But yes I have come across the declutter avalanche I didn’t know it had a name though, makes sense!
Me too. I call it the bubble effect.
God bless the work-from-the-basement husbands who come up for lunch and end up helping with a major re-organizing session
He didn’t know what he was walking into 😂😂
I love that Andy has really gotten into this 'do we need it' stuff!! You two are so fun to watch 🥰
Husband, “Maybe we can get rid of the
crockpot?” 🤣 that was the fastest “No” ever!
He keeps asking 😂😂
Loved that he came down for lunch and started helping! Way to go Andy. Loved that he used the word Groody
Erica to avoid toaster crumbs, at dollar store buy a tin disposable tray or a plastic storage container and store toaster inside the tin tray, all crumbs go into the tray, and is easily cleaned out when you need to also it’s easier to remove the toaster from the cabinet❤️
I donated my wok, it was too big and taking up too much room for the once in a while I stir fried it wasn’t worth the aggravation 😂 just easier to donate
I love the teamwork between husband and wife. My husband at least participates by keeping me company while I declutter. I guess I will appreciate my guy for that.
Get rid of the Kitchen aid bin, put all three (kneader, paddle and whisk) in the bowl. Keep the bowl in the mixer, the stuff in the bowl and everything is right there. Been doing that for almost 30 years
Ps on fire extinguishers- as long as the dial is in the green zone there are no issues. If out of green zone, some can be recharged but I opt to toss. They are inexpensive and you can find multi packs at sam’s club. Keep couple at the top of the stairs. If you are trying to exit the house and there is a fire below you, use to make a path to get out as you exit. I have a large size one that I’ve had for 20+ years. Still in green zone and no rust on canister. 😃
@@rev.robynyoung7680 Terrific! I worked at a hospital and our fire crews held trainings several times a year where we had to put out fires in trash cans. A great skill to have! I started a fire when I was in a college apartment in my 20’s and did all the wrong things. Good news is that I got it out before the building caught on fire. Been keenly aware ever since how fast something can light and was very grateful for the hands on training.
thanks. just checked ours, because my son kept saying "what's ours? what's ours?" until I looked! one green, one red, one can't tell. also great idea to have one upstairs.
@@rev.robynyoung7680 this is a great idea!
“Mom, you have one week.” 😂 Lol! You crack me up! We would so be friends if we lived near each other! I love how you and hubster logically wok- ed (couldn’t help that pun!) through each step together. You made it seem doable and that it’s ok to donate items that were given as gifts.
Wok-ed it!!! 😂😂😂😂❤️
I enjoy watching you and Andy working together.
Okay Erica, I never laughed so hard.
Giving your mother in law 1 week to get back to you about the silicone covers was absolutely priceless.
Just the way you backed up and said it.
A hoot!
'You have one week' - Love it! That made me LOL!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I worked for a fire extinguisher co. There is a date on the label of year of manufacture. The ones with a white label are disposable. They are only good for 6 years. Fire companies will accept them
Great sort and declutter. Way to go Erica. I love the way you and Andy work together. Hope he got his lunch. 😄. You really help people with your down to earth, uncomplicated advice. Your journey over the past couple of years is inspirational.
Thank you for being real, showing everything sometimes I feel lost in too much stuff again and procrastinating making decisions! Love the dynamic between you two.❤
This is always the exhausting part of trying to simplify...the rearranging. My husband always laughs that just when he figures out where something is I've moved it to a "better" spot.
Yes we thought that too!! Fast forward 8 years… 🤦🏻♀️
I put my spare trash bags in the bottom of the trash can they fit. Then when I pull out the full bag, I just reach in and there is the next bag.
I get rid of the box.
Set the kitchen aid on a cutting board. Makes it easier to pull forward to use and push back into the corner when you’re done.
Erica, I loved both of your "Clutter Avalanche" videos.
And, it's always nice when Andy makes an appearance.
Cheers
The ninja will grind the coffee for you. You can get rid of the separate coffee grinder then!😊
It was so sweet that Andy stepped in to help. Great team work!
I love how your husband jumps in to help out. 😊 I think that is very cool.
Really like your clips. You might consider getting a sliding board for the kitchen aid. It allows heavy appliances to be moved around easily when slightly lifted up. An command hooks for the appliance cables. 😁
LOL! I was just wondering, "Where's Andy?" and he shows up. I love watching you two work together.
I love how you two are always a team. True relationship goals ✨
"Display the everyday" is something new I have learned. I have some nice cutting boards and teapot that I have kept out on the counter, but I have minimized everything else that is not beautiful or useful.I keep the vintage green KitchenAid out as well, because it is very heavy.
You guys did an awesome job, with the toaster I keep a baking tray underneath it, that way you catch all the crumbs on the tray and your cupboard stays clean.
Well done and great team work! My suggestion: unpack the kitchen aid accessories from the box and contain in a bin of accessories to your mixer. Losing the box will save you space and a bin or two will keep them together with much greater access for use. Again, great video.
You should keep the colorful lazy susan for INSIDE a cupboard somewhere so the kiddos can't reach it, since you love the colors so much. It IS useful, but again, that's your choice to keep what you want. Thanks for all your transperancy! :)
I love how reasonable Andy is, and how you discuss things! xxx
Some of the Kidde Fire extinguishers were recalled back in 2017. They will send you replacements and have you send affected ones back at their expense. It's on their website under "Product Safety Notices".
Decluttering and organizing is SO Satisfying!
Get some Velcro straps to tame those cords. Helps so much.
Thanks
Oh great idea!!
Love the “you have one week”! 😂 As a mother in law if my daughter in law said that I would love her even more. ❤️❤️
Put the kitchen aid attachments that are in the broken basket into the bowl on the mixer. Donna
Your thumbnail had me cracking up!!!
Love seeing how adept Andy has become at this! Fast decision making.
Hi there! Great comments. On your dishwasher pods and rinse aid pods in the box... how about cutting a piece of cardboard to slide vertically in your glass jar, as a divider? Store dishwasher pods on one side, rinse pods on the other? Then no worries about an under the counter leak, PLUS you gain space!
I keep the attachments for the kitchen aid (the ones in the green basket) in the bowl of the kitchen aid! Saves a little bit of space :)
I keep my toaster on a small tray. It keeps crumbs in the tray and not on counter or cabinet. I love it!
I enjoy the way you communicate. Calm, humor and keeping it real !!
lol..."you have one week" with an awesome I'm totally serious look on your face.
Erica, I hope this becomes an ongoing series! The clutter (and furniture rearranging) avalanche is real and overwhelming. I do like the idea of Dana K. White’s no mess method, but in actuality the full removal and avalanche is more my style, to the point that I have even made a mind map of the anticipated avalanche so I can start from what would have been the end. Having someone else talk you through the avalanche can also make all the difference!
Good id3a about kitchen aid and asseries.
Hi Erica 👏 I totally agree items have to be easy access to use 🙌 May I suggest a tip, if you still have the baking trays try one under the toaster in the cupboard. I did this to contain the crumbs! I kept it on the tray while using it, then you can just empty the dry crumbs from the tray and put it back in the cupboard as one. Much simpler! Also the box the kitchen aid items are in is purpose built for the parts. For easier access see if the lid flips back, maybe tape it back, so that it becomes like the open top containers you like 😊
Yup,that’s what I was going to say
So nice of your husband, inspiring…
That first cabinet looked like a clown car!! 🤣 I can't believe how much came out of it! And that was so funny with your son pulling things out and hitting you in the face with all the cords! That's something my son would do too! 🤣🤣 That was so sweet that he helped out. Also loved how Andy came in to help and how great he is at organizing and decluttering too! Also, I try to store all of my cutting boards, cookie sheets, cupcake baking pans, and anything flat in a vertical position if possible. You can slide them into a plate holder or pot lid organizer to keep them separated. Those items can take up so much space!
It was sweet for him to come visit and stay to work. High five!
Erica, I used to struggle with moving my Kitchen Aid when I used it and so I added the felt pads used for chairs on the bottom contact areas of a kitchen Aid and it works like a dream sliding the Kitchen Aid in and out from under my cabinet.😉
Genius tip. Thank you. I have been dealing with trying to slide that out of the corner for twenty years or so.
@@jenniferreinhart2111 It works great!
Having you be a reader is such an asset. As a viewer, I know, or at least get the very strong impression, that you've read 'all the books' on the subject of decluttering and minimizing. Your wealth of knowledge and advice goes beyond your personal experience but you also draw from the of experiences of those who've gone before you. You filter out all the information from everything you've read and you've applied those precepts and concepts. I think this is one thing that has made you stand out.
"I can't contain my excitement" - haha level 10 dad joke.
Ha you just made his YEAR. He tries out all his dad jokes on everyone.
Is that on a scale of 1 to 10?
Great ideas, Andy! And so helpful.
The wok is such a great tool - clean it and then lightly season with oil. It’ll be fine.
It’s nonstick, so it won’t hold seasoning. :(
I, too, laughed out loud over the, "You have one week!" comment. My husband in another room asked what I laughed at, because he loves a good joke, too. So I had to explain the whole sequence to him. So, you got another laugh from the cheap seats.
Ha I will take laughs from the cheap seats 😂😂😂
Hi Erica. Use the lazy Susan in the corner cupboard to spin items to access
Yes! I was just gonna say that! Lazy susans work so well for kitchen corners that are difficult to reach.
My exact thought. Also get cheap cookie sheets to easily slide groupings of things in that wonky corner cabinet.
@@joyous2theworld omg that’s brilliant!!
When I started to declutter small appliances I actually made the choice to get rid of the rice cooker. My Instant Pot does such a wonderful job with rice, it never sticks to the bottom or gets over/under cooked.
Great job! It is amazing how much stuff you decluttered by trying to reorganize your appliance cupboard! It is great to see Andy in the videos! He seems like he is getting on board with minimalism! A big win in a short amount of time!
Why wait?
I’ll be back in 15 minutes
Y’all are a Power Couple. Lol
I’m still waiting for my margaritas
I love how you too work through these things, it helps me when I'm clearing out too!! 💖💖
It is so enjoyable when you and Andy work together. Also helps that final decisions can be made because both of you are there to make them in the moment. Cracks me up that Andy had just come up for lunch...Surprise!
I repurposed a sliding aluminum cover from a 9x13 cake pan to become a tray holding our toaster. (Think small cookie sheett with sides) I lift out the toaster and tray to transfer to counter. The tray really holds the crumbs and eliminated the need to wipe crumbs out to cabinet.
🤣🤣 “You have 1 Week”.
Wow! That certainly grew. Great job on letting some stuff go, too. You and Andy make a great organising team.
To MIL, with evil side-eye: "You have one week." BWAHAHA! You go girl!
You can have the fire extinguishers recharged at the fire station.
I like keeping the roll ofgarbage bags in the bottom of trash cans and cookie sheet under toaster. You have one week 🙃Lol
Go Andy!
The kitchen is one area I'm glad my husband has no opinions. I am ruthless with small appliances. I'm now down to a coffee pot, toaster, basic blender, crock pot, and a hand mixer. I cook every meal from home, but only kept the workhorses. The occasional items I just borrow from others. In our small kitchen it has made a huge difference.
i love the messy minimalist, i wish she would make a new video. i love the way you thought process through things.
Me too!! I miss her so much! I hope all is well with her!
Excellent!!
I remember watching the messy minimalist and her video about this. But you actually showing it makes me feel so normal 😂 this is my brain.
Great job Erica and Andy! Love this series!
We ditched our wok and we now use a big non stick pan and I we prefer the taste of our stir-fry now.
🤣 “you have a week”
Always easier to declutter with help! Yay!
😊🍹🍹 What a team!
You and Andy are adorable!
We were lucky to be able to design our own kitchen and fitted all lower cabinets with drawers or pull-out shelves. No more crouching to get to things, and maximum use of space.
Loved this great decluttering & organizing ❤️
You two are so awesome!
brilliant job. Andy is adorable the way he takes ownership too!!!
Great video, practical, helpful and funny 😂🤣.
I sit my toaster inside the plastic lid of a storage tub. It just means no crumbs in the cupboard. I use the tub elsewhere and the lid was spare to my needs. Also easy to lift the toaster in and out using the lid and it contains the toaster cord too!
Had a linen avalanche! Do not have a linen closet, decluttered the huge piece of furniture that was holding the linens. Cut the amount in half and thought outside of the box. Now stored in the top of a closet that wasn't being utilized. So happy!
That’s so great!!!
Love your channel, love the avalanche series. I love your minimalish identity. Suits me.
Loved this video. You both work well together lovey to see. Thank you for sharing. Xx
I never knew what to call that process. I totally relate to the clutter avalanche!
Watched your avalanche 1 and 2 again! I really really like these!! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing parts of your day with me!
Impressive declutter pile! I agree with you about getting things out of a cabinet and having to move stuff to get to what you need…such a pain!
I love your real life video's, nothing pollished just how it is difficult and messy but your place gets better.
Loved seeing Andy interject! I would've done the same with the coffee grinder and wok 😂❤️
#couplegoals 💕
I store the kitchenaid parts that I use the most in the bowl and they are the same as yours so I know they fit 😊
I love that Andy helps you. So sweet! We have that same egg sandwich maker and I was just thinking of donating ours!
Love your videos, so real and relatable! Loved the comment to mom "you have one week". 😆
Great job!! Really inspired now!! (Y’all are SUCH a great team!🎉)
I store baking trays and boards vertically in a plastic tub, saves space and easy to get too, plus is tidier than a pile of them stacked on each other
I keep the toaster in a shallow panto keep crumbs easy to clean.
Local firehouse is always best and free for them to check valves and all
