The way you clean 😩 I can’t cope haha You see stuff behind something and you say meh ‘ we will do that later. You see a basket with cars when it’s meant to be dinosaurs and rather then clean it you just put it back 😩😩 You remind me of my kids haha you do it half hearted. I just can’t cope rofl 🤣
You should so have a million subs!!!! Your channel honestly had became my favorite on UA-cam! You're videos are so motivating but also so hilarious! Your personality is a breath of fresh air in today's crazy world! ❤
Kim I am so so so soooooo thankful for you .. I usually look up your vids for inspiration and motivation.. you've gotten me through so so much really love you and your channel and family ❤!!
I love it! SO satisfying!! My mom taught me the no mercy rule when I was young and for a while I used to try to be the nicer mom but I am now coming around back to my mom's mentality.... When in doubt, THROW IT OUT 😁 What helps me is controlling what comes in to the house in the first place, as far as toys etc. Creates less clutter to Declutter.
Amen! For us we get a lot of hand me downs! -- and what gets us is garage sales - whenever we go we give the kids a budget of $10 and they come home with a truck full of toys!! Tell me how. haha!
The kids in our house get an allowance so instead of asking us for toys all the time it you can buy with your money and all of sudden that $30 toy with a million pieces is put back on the shelf because they don’t really want it that much when you make $2 a week buying a $20 toy is 10 weeks to wait to get another one
Have 5 kids ..def can relate. I am decluttering their playroom. Now they honestly do not use over half . So I am putting things in their room. Making a TV with game system for Christmas.
I used to love that show, as I was little I dreamed of living in a house full of my family, Well Fast Forward years later. 23 yrs old, i live with my Mom & Dad, AND Sister andd my hubby. now I just wanna move out n be on my own. Lol. Dreams stayed the same but people change n grow. But in a good way.
A couple of months ago I halved the contents of my daughter's room. Got tried of her room being a mess. I had threatened her with halving it so often and finally followed it through. I just got bin bags and dumped boxes of stuff in it and donated them. She now keeps it tidy herself which has made me very happy.
I have to do this every couple of months in my daughters room. I try to make her a part of some of it to show her what excess is and why it is good to donate, but kids are kids and she is a hoarder lol. A great place for stuffed animals is a local animal shelter (I’ve learned many donation places won’t take them). Also we use the toy kitchen as a storage. So there are little bins inside with the toy food, but then we also keep a toy register, potato head, and some trucks inside. We don’t have a play room so this helps keep the room clean.
You asked and I helped motivate you! I am not on UA-cam but I need you to help motivate me know lol. ( I hope you know I’m joking because of what you said at the beginning of the video) i’m a grandma of four beautiful granddaughters all close in age all young in between play kitchen Barbie baby dolls and American girl type girls always end up doing is looking at little things. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if The dog clothes go with what dolls. I’m getting ready to head into the girls playroom to do some major decluttering. You’ve got me going and I’m gonna go kick some butt in the playroom tonight !!! Thank you so much for this video!! I will take before and after pictures I just don’t know how to post them lol maybe I’ll put them on my Facebook if I’m brave but I don’t think I’m that brave to put the before on there. 🌸🙂 I want to Thank you again 🪀🧸🪁🎎🪆👧
@thewads you should make busy bins for puzzles, crafts, crayons, markers..... I have two carts for our bins. I use it after dinner or during the day when I need to accomplish things. I get a basket and grab a few things and set the kids down for a bit. They are occupied and I can get done what I need to get done. I also have two zippered pouches that travel with us to restaurants.
When I do toy purge my number one rule is I do it when the kids aren't around and I swear I've never had them say "mom where is this or that" so clearly they have so much they don't miss anything! And I remember wanting that hair wrap thing soooooooo bad at adventure island when I was young!
I did the kids' toys last month. We reduced the amount of toys by 60%!!! Things are going sooo much better! I have slowly over time taken the excess stuffed animals that are in near perfect condition and gave them as gifts to moms who had a baby when I brought them a postpartum meal. Score!
I know you’ve said before it’s not your thing, and I get why it’s not practical day to day but I LOVE your hair down 😍 Also, that play kitchen is adorable & id definitely keep it til Wentworth is a bit older & then sell it and get something nice for yourself with the proceeds!
Lmao @ poor Barbie. I tell Soleil one word “trash”. I dont play, 3 kids later, I 👏🏼 dont 👏🏼 play! Also, I’d suggest doing it when the girls are at school & Went is sleeping. You’ll feel empowered 💪🏼😄
I’m a child and my parents work full time so I have to do everything independently. For me, my closet/room (mainly my closet) is the messy spot. I just need to reorganize my amg or doll stuff and I just need it gone. As well as drawers, that too... anyway, thank you for this lol. It was really helpful
Started watching the video... Said to my 8 yr old. " This mom's getting rid of her kids toys! " With a big smile. And she yelled " She's horrible! Don't watch her!!!" 😂😂😂😂 Can you tell I am raising hoarders!!! It is sick how many toys we own... My kids won't part with things... And they totally remember things... I tried getting rid of a bag of stuffed animals... In fact I did... And my daughter still asks for some of the items... This was like 4 years ago!!!
Omg ! You sound like me word for word its crazy!! When I was watching your video my kids were asking me why is that lady saying everything you say lol!
Yay, I'm so happy for you to declutter! I'm always giving away or throwing away everything. We are minimalist's mostly. I can't stand clutter. My kids(3) ask, if someone gives them something, If they can keep it, or they say mom, did you give 'such n such' away? I'm more about experiences anyways, they'll thank me later! I also have a rule if they don't pick it up when I ask, it goes bye-bye!
slowly but surely!! I like that! I feel like whenever I just 'clean' their playroom or bedroom I come out with a bag full of stuff - makes me feel goooood and the kids are non-the-wiser!
We have one toddler so far and I'm trying hard to prevent the "toy soup" situation. At the moment I have his toys in boxes in different categories, and I switch out the boxes so he has a new group of toys to play with every week or so. But I'm not sure what to do with his board books. They just live spread out on the coffee table.
My daughter has 3 kids she declutteres every month and tells the family plz..try not buy the kids so much toys lol but grandma never listens so she told me mom if the toy is more than 20$ don't buy it put that money in my granddaughter saving so we been doing and I think by the time my granddaughter is 18 her collage well be paid for lol toys now in days are expensive
Sandra Cedillo amen that’s a great idea! My grandmother and mom only give my kids money to save- they don’t undr stand the value now- but they sure will eventually!!
Dont complain about the toy mess. You buy that amount for your kids so u deal with it✊👍 i just buy things that are big and not little things that i know i will step on and i dont buy mountains of it that why i never complain my kids dont pick their toys up.
I am working on my kids' room this week and it is so stressful! My two share a room and it is CHAOS! I have been avoiding their room too, like i look at it then find other things t o do lol
need a 'get ready with me' eye make-up tutorial...I know you'll say you just gob on some crap and bam, done......but I need to see how it's gobbed on there...because your eyes always look SOGOODDDDDDD
I'll do you one better... the only thing I put on my eyes is mascara and concealer! lol and you better believe I just gob it on! -- most of the time I'm in the car! My eyes are too sensitive for shadow / liner and most mascaras bother them too! but I'll surely take the compliment!! :) :)
My daughter has so many toys I need to get rid of. There are like four totes full in the shed that she doesn’t know exist. Half of them are broken. And I just went through and organized them then we had a conversation about putting them back where she got them. They are no longer organized. We’ve only lived in this house for three-ish weeks.
So I came here for help !! I have daughters so I'm like can I just keep barbie stuff and ponies ad nothing else lol 😅 but one them likes cars and trucks and small toys like figures .. I like them to have learning toys but why do all the learning toys have a millions pieces smh I need an organizing small thins or things that have lots of pieces.. so I got giant zip lock bags from dollar 25 tree lol
We don’t have a playroom so the kids aren’t allowed to get other toys out unless they cleanup the first mess. Sometimes Izzy wants to donate toys and I’m like not that one 🙈😩 I might be a bit of a hoarder 😏
How old was u when u got married and what years was ur kids born in i was 24 when i first got married then i got remarried at 25 three kids one is 2012 second one in 2014 and the last in 2016 i have three boys
One question, does vlogging make you less lonely because you have “someone” to talk to? I feel like I would accomplish more and feel less alone if I had someone or something to talk to.
One of my friends who has kids usually says getting kids toys is like taking wads of cash and setting fire to them in the garden..lol i can only think of that here..poor kim, can't believe you tackled that mess
So it's probably too late, but with toys that you want to keep for future children but are too young, you could get a storage bin and put them in there. That way you don't have to repurchase the expensive wooden toys put they don't contribute to the crazy.
The way you clean 😩 I can’t cope haha
You see stuff behind something and you say meh ‘ we will do that later.
You see a basket with cars when it’s meant to be dinosaurs and rather then clean it you just put it back 😩😩
You remind me of my kids haha you do it half hearted.
I just can’t cope rofl 🤣
You should so have a million subs!!!! Your channel honestly had became my favorite on UA-cam! You're videos are so motivating but also so hilarious! Your personality is a breath of fresh air in today's crazy world! ❤
It is so wonderful to donate all that those toys could be a blessing to kids that don't have money to buy toys bless y'all for doing that
Kim I am so so so soooooo thankful for you .. I usually look up your vids for inspiration and motivation.. you've gotten me through so so much really love you and your channel and family ❤!!
Binge watching all of your videos bc I relate on your level of life so much it’s nice to see I’m not the only one who feels the way I feel sometimes.
That Full House puzzle on the wall is AMAZING! Love it
Isn't it great?!
I love it! SO satisfying!! My mom taught me the no mercy rule when I was young and for a while I used to try to be the nicer mom but I am now coming around back to my mom's mentality.... When in doubt, THROW IT OUT 😁

Awesome! So inspiring to see how you evaluate what is needed or not needed. Especially with kids! Also - love the "no mercy" rule haha :)
Omg full house is my favorite show of all time!!
It's so funny how the kids come in when you start decluttering my kids are the same way! Hahaha
Yea, it's done and I know it feels good. You stuck to your NO MERCY rule and you were merciless. Look good and thank you for sharing.
Have 5 kids ..def can relate. I am decluttering their playroom. Now they honestly do not use over half . So I am putting things in their room. Making a TV with game system for Christmas.

OMG Full House! I love all the nostalgic things in the play room!
Right!! Love it too, it's amazing!
I love how simple and beautiful you are. Your house is so natural and perfect so glad I found you
So happy you think that, thank you so much! Definitely not a stage home!

I just got bin bags and dumped boxes of stuff in it and donated them. She now keeps it tidy herself which has made me very happy.
Wow!! Looks great! I love cleaning and organizing! I totally remember the days of cleaning the "Toy Room"......whew! It's a job well done!
I know one day we will no longer have a play room... trying to enjoy the crazy moments!
THE WADS You're a smart momma, that's for sure! 😊
I have 4 children so I definitely feel your pain.😅
Your kids took “everything but the kitchen sink” to a whole new level! 😆 Thanks for the motivation, no mercy!
Oh my gosh. genius. haha that's hilarious!
Well done, Kim! 🎉 I love that glittery bin you put the horses in.
Salo so cute right! It was a gift!
Awesome job!!! Love the Beauty and the Beast painting and the Full House poster!!
Thanks!! They're definitely my favorite pieces too!!
No mercy! I love it! I need it!

@thewads you should make busy bins for puzzles, crafts, crayons, markers.....

Hey Kim!! Good job with the playroom! Have a great day! 👍🏻😁
no mercy lol onto the war of declutter. good job
Omg I NEED to organize my kids play room...it is a disaster! Great job Kim...you’re inspiring me to quit procrastinating!
I love the declutter video. I will watch them whenever u upload.
Omg most relatable video on UA-cam..
I have 1 and she has destroyed her playroom. Time to declutter!!
Ohhhh yes. doesn't matter- one or three they reek havoc! haha
OMG I need to do this to our playroom and craft stuff so bad!
Love your shirt!
When I do toy purge my number one rule is I do it when the kids aren't around and I swear I've never had them say "mom where is this or that" so clearly they have so much they don't miss anything! And I remember wanting that hair wrap thing soooooooo bad at adventure island when I was young!

What made you and your family decide to do a UA-cam channel? I was just wondering. I love watching your channel. It's so funny
In going through the same with my boys room and an about to major declutter. I just did two months ago but still more LMBO
Maihie B I feel you! It’s never ending!!
THE WADS LOL you're so right 😂😂😂😂
Omgoodness...same dilemma here at our place...I tell my kids if they don’t clean up no more new toys and toys that I pick up are donated...:)
Nice job looks great!
I know you’ve said before it’s not your thing, and I get why it’s not practical day to day but I LOVE your hair down 😍
Also, that play kitchen is adorable & id definitely keep it til Wentworth is a bit older & then sell it and get something nice for yourself with the proceeds!
Alex Bailey that is a nice compliment! Thank you! Looove the kitchen too!! It’s my favorite!
Lmao @ poor Barbie. I tell Soleil one word “trash”. I dont play, 3 kids later, I 👏🏼 dont 👏🏼 play! Also, I’d suggest doing it when the girls are at school & Went is sleeping. You’ll feel empowered 💪🏼😄
Throw it away lol too many rubbish stuff hehe.. cool video..

I just need to reorganize my amg or doll stuff and I just need it gone. As well as drawers, that too... anyway, thank you for this lol. It was really helpful
where did you find the top of your short sleeves and want sizes is it.

Lovely job, how is it working now? Maybe you have already done a update on the playroom? xxx
I have actually decluttered it since this video haha so there is a newer version, we took the TV out, added a desk... it's different but doing well!
Omg ! You sound like me word for word its crazy!! When I was watching your video my kids were asking me why is that lady saying everything you say lol!
hahaa that's amazing! Love it
Yay, I'm so happy for you to declutter! I'm always giving away or throwing away everything. We are minimalist's mostly. I can't stand clutter.

I also have a rule if they don't pick it up when I ask, it goes bye-bye!
Rachel Brown amen for experience gifts!! I would much rather put my money toward an outing than a toy!
I need help with my daughter's toys .. like it's unbearable now lol I've got to figure out a system lol
I have tossed and donated a bag of toys every two weeks for a month now and it feels so good. My kids could have never gotten to all of their toys.
slowly but surely!! I like that! I feel like whenever I just 'clean' their playroom or bedroom I come out with a bag full of stuff - makes me feel goooood and the kids are non-the-wiser!

LOVED IT!👍🏻👍🏻
You're brave having a huge nice tv down in the kid "break everything!" zone 😂
need a 'get ready with me' eye make-up tutorial...I know you'll say you just gob on some crap and bam, done......but I need to see how it's gobbed on there...because your eyes always look SOGOODDDDDDD
I'll do you one better... the only thing I put on my eyes is mascara and concealer! lol and you better believe I just gob it on! -- most of the time I'm in the car! My eyes are too sensitive for shadow / liner and most mascaras bother them too! but I'll surely take the compliment!! :) :)
THE WADS really?! Gah! They look so perfectly lined! Fahn’ccccyyyy!
Covergirl super sizer - The mascara changed my life... not really- but I mean, it's good. haha!
My daughter has so many toys I need to get rid of. There are like four totes full in the shed that she doesn’t know exist. Half of them are broken. And I just went through and organized them then we had a conversation about putting them back where she got them. They are no longer organized. We’ve only lived in this house for three-ish weeks.
Kayla Marie aaah!!! I so feel you! One the kids touch anything the organization goes out th window!
You look really similar to the actress Melanie Scrofano! Also, nice playroom 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh I haven't gotten that comparison before! Thanks so much!! :)
Well my sons 10 and has just started doing something’s like this now and also he can’t get rid of dolls and stuffiies
Were did u get the stand that the tv is on? Do u find it works for you?
I got it from Ikea, we love it! :)
Can you please tell me what brand that wooden shape sorter that says zoo on it is? thank you!
So I came here for help !! I have daughters so I'm like can I just keep barbie stuff and ponies ad nothing else lol 😅 but one them likes cars and trucks and small toys like figures .. I like them to have learning toys but why do all the learning toys have a millions pieces smh I need an organizing small thins or things that have lots of pieces.. so I got giant zip lock bags from dollar 25 tree lol
Your playroom is clean compared to some I’ve seen!
Sharon Reinblatt well that is a nice compliment!
lol that room has literally everything but the kitchen sink
bahahah that made me laugh!
Where did you get that shirt I think I have the same one
Layan Alothaimeen not sure! I got it thrifting!
We don’t have a playroom so the kids aren’t allowed to get other toys out unless they cleanup the first mess. Sometimes Izzy wants to donate toys and I’m like not that one 🙈😩 I might be a bit of a hoarder 😏
How old was u when u got married and what years was ur kids born in i was 24 when i first got married then i got remarried at 25 three kids one is 2012 second one in 2014 and the last in 2016 i have three boys
Omg yesssss stuffed animals are the evil of the toys lol my kids have sooooo many and they are all "special"
uh YESSS!! Everyone is 'their favorite' and has a story. It's the hardest for me to declutter. gaah!
One question, does vlogging make you less lonely because you have “someone” to talk to? I feel like I would accomplish more and feel less alone if I had someone or something to talk to.
Brittany Curtis absolutely!! I mean when I don’t have the cam ya on- I just talk to myself!! Hahaa 🎉👭
Where did you get the shelf with the tv on
Ikea! :)
One of my friends who has kids usually says getting kids toys is like taking wads of cash and setting fire to them in the garden..lol i can only think of that here..poor kim, can't believe you tackled that mess
Anjali Sadanandam oh that’s what it feels like!! Haha! I try to convince myself the money served a purpose!
Where did you get that cute shirt?!!
Rachel Pearson thrift store! 🤷🏻♀️
Wtg Kim. Good job :)
So it's probably too late, but with toys that you want to keep for future children but are too young, you could get a storage bin and put them in there. That way you don't have to repurchase the expensive wooden toys put they don't contribute to the crazy.
Please make more recipe or cook with me videos!!
Kim, how much do you charge? My house, well there are no WORDS. Kids just don't understand our pain. in your words" DO YOU FEEL ME!!" Lol :)
I FEEL YA!! haha!
Have the kids clean up themselves and then they will think before they will make huge messes!
Kelley Jeavons hasn’t worked yet haha they clean up every day and 80% of the time it’s a fight. Hoping this will alleviate some arguments
