I just lost my job yesterday and will now be staying home full time. I’m currently pregnant with my second, my first is 15 months old. It has been so tempting to just rot and feel sorry for myself, but you always get me inspired to take care of my home. I’ve been watching for a couple of years now and love how real you are with being a wife and mother. ❤
@@aubreygomez89thank you. I definitely need to hear that. We had planned for me to stay home after the new baby but it just happened sooner than expected. I’m trying to trust that God will provide.
I unexpectedly quit my teaching job in the middle of the school year while 3 months pregnant. I had planned to stay home after baby was born, but it happened earlier than expected. I had a couple weeks of wallowing, but the whole situation ended up being a blessing in disguise. You will make small adjustments and everything will be okay. Promise 😊
I am so sorry. We are promised everything works together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. I will be praying for you. I have been in a battle with anxiety too. God will see us through ❤️
In our home, we try to say “can I live without this?” instead of sparking joy. Helps take the feelings out of it and keeps me focused on practicality when decluttering.
Thanks for the encouragement, Megan! As soon as I’m over this sickness I need to declutter my home as well. Happy new year and God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I love your new planner. It works really well for me.
Feel better soon! We've had so much snow and ice here, so I have stayed indoors and organized/decluttered to have something fun to do. Okay, maybe fun isn't the best word, but it has been rewarding. I started with my bathroom cabinets and moved to my Tupperware (one of the hardest things for me to keep organized). So many good tips in this video Megan!
For grease stains take a small dot of dawn dish soap and massage into the item and rinse with water before putting in the wash. The dish soap cuts the grease and the stain is gone.
I love a good declutter. I feel like I’ve gotten really good and staying on top of my clothes. If i have an item I find myself never reaching for, I’ll look up outfit ideas on pinterest and see if I can find a way to style it that I like and I make myself wear it…if I’m still not happy with it, it gets donated.
Really enjoyed this! As a former librarian, I'm pleased that your church has a library that you can donate to. Also, the goats were adorable, and our first lamb was born yesterday - so cute when they hop around! Great job on all your decluttering!
I started decluttering/cleaning everything behind closed doors or drawers Jan 2! Upstairs done - kitchen half done! So much easier without my lils here- i need to be patient and do it when they are in school! #snowdays are getting to me! Holmes county mom!
Batteries for toys can work out quite expensive - I can really recommend the Ikea rechargeable ones, they are very reasonable prices and the charger case is very neat with room to store charged batteries as well as recharging.
Having a big family is one perk of decluttering-- sending the group chat photos of stuff to be claimed or hauling a box of clothes to the next family gathering and letting the cousins go wild-- boom. It's gone, and I love it😂 Great video, lots of inspiration here!
Yay! We're ducluttering and organizing at our house, also! Oof, getting rid of something with a grease stain makes me cringe... dawn dish soap will get out any grease stain in my experience. Even fuel stains! Dawn powerwash specifically works really well.
@MeganFoxUnlocked You're in for a treat! There's something about the satisfaction of getting a stain out. 😊 I buy the free & clear version, although, it still has a scent to it. Spray the stain liberally and let it dry overnight. Wash as usual. If it didn't come out entirely, repeat the process. I have even gotten out dried stains that I didn't notice the first round washing. 🎉
If I could go back in time and make one change that would have made my parenting small children 1000x easier, it would be to declutter 3/4 of their toys and clothes and keep it super minimal, creative, and simple.
I'm aching to sew and declutter. Pregnant with my 5th due April 7th and not feeling well. I can do things here and there, but don't have the stamina to do more right now. Happy new year and thanks for the motivation!
I love your videos thank you!! Also if you ever have anymore grace and co bible study books you don't want i would be interested in buying them 😀 God bless!
I always decluttered when my children weren’t around because they didn’t want to get rid of things but never missed them if they didn’t see . I don’t care for chatty videos but you do you I’ll still watch .😊
Oh my goodness if people looked into my closet i think they would think i was missing clothing. I dont even have half the amount lol 😂 shoes i have 3 or 4 pairs. I think I could definitely say I'm a minimalist .
Good for you! Again, don't compair my closet to yours. It's kind of a special case. I chose to be a minimalist in other areas. Love that you can be streamlined!
How do you have the urge to organize and follow thru? That's probably a dumb question. I get the urge, but the doing it overwhelms me! I think because we have a smaller home and not much storage space so I get overwhelmed trying to think of what to get rid of and where to put stuff.
I literally have no plan. I just was like "I want to declutter before the new year." And then as things bothered me, I just went for it. Take before and after pictures. That helps.
Decluttering is a full time job in itself 😂! Honestly ive no idea how so much stuff just piles up in nooks and spaces in the cupboard just wait for nik nacks to make their way to them lol.. i de clutter just before Christmas so that when the tree is up and various seasonal items are about i would swap them out and store away day to day things so it makes sence to do away with things at that point so i dont have to put them back out after Christmas 😊 and then de clutter. My wardrobe im really intentional on and follow the Marie condow method and one thing in and 1 has to go. Great video but i was exhausted for you 😂!
Haha! You were exhausted for me! Girl, this was a month worth of decluttering. Honestly I should have done more, but Christmas time is for enjoying the season!
It’s the hyperactivity side of ADHD and it’s part of who you are, it’s what makes you unique. We cannot change our neurobiology. There maybe some challenges associated with that but also so many strengths!

Much smarter and practical way
My practical side loves this.

I love the green collared dress you're wearing at 31 minutes! Enjoyed this video so much. We have the same organizational style

I love all the cabinet space you have in your kitchen!

Love this method! It forces you out of your box at least for a little bit.
@@MeganFoxUnlocked Yes! I either discover a new way to wear something or I know for sure that I won’t be wearing the item and can get rid of it. 😊
I love the chatty videos too! Thanks for all the content you share :)
Happy new year! I love chatty videos while I do chores, which is what I’m doing rn 😂
Kindred spirit!
How???do you have cute socks that match your outfit? That is really coordinating your outfit. So cute!
I like to be barefoot so if I make the time for them to be put on my feet I'm gonna pick the cute ones!
I love to declutter, thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

Tell Evonnie I used to play behind the couch too to escape my 2 brothers😂!

so fun!
Got my Christmas stuff nicely put away today. You were great company!
Great vlog!! Decluttering is a must! I have things in my closet that I have never even worn that it's just time to get rid of them
Yay! We're ducluttering and organizing at our house, also! Oof, getting rid of something with a grease stain makes me cringe... dawn dish soap will get out any grease stain in my experience. Even fuel stains! Dawn powerwash specifically works really well.
I'm buying it tomorrow! Thanks!

Very inspiring video. I’m so bad at parting with things. Thanks for the inspo!
It gets easier! I still struggle sometimes though.

Yes, please bring back the pretty glass cups with wooden lids! I’ve been wanting to get one of those!
There are still a few in stock.

Do it as you feel like it. It's one of those things that CAN wait.
I'll add, I'm relieved other people's kids toys get so unorganized and messy. I was telling my girls yesterday that like things go together.
Fellow ladybug here but I live with butterflies 😂
Does your puppy live in the garqage?
yes! Chatty Videos!
Hey 👋 Getting ready for our Mississippi Snow storm tonight! It's a rare thing for us here! ⛷️❄️
I love your videos thank you!! Also if you ever have anymore grace and co bible study books you don't want i would be interested in buying them 😀 God bless!
I always decluttered when my children weren’t around because they didn’t want to get rid of things but never missed them if they didn’t see . I don’t care for chatty videos but you do you I’ll still watch .😊
so more music?
Oh my goodness if people looked into my closet i think they would think i was missing clothing. I dont even have half the amount lol 😂 shoes i have 3 or 4 pairs. I think I could definitely say I'm a minimalist .
Good for you! Again, don't compair my closet to yours. It's kind of a special case. I chose to be a minimalist in other areas. Love that you can be streamlined!
We belong to a camping group we have a book swap our town also has mini libraries all around town and you can just put books in them ❤
Yes that's a great way to donate books! I love that and my kids would love putting them in there themselves!

You should start with just a draw and when that is done move on, it's less overwhelming that way and a small enough project to do in half a hour.
I literally have no plan. I just was like "I want to declutter before the new year." And then as things bothered me, I just went for it. Take before and after pictures. That helps.

i want to purchase your planner, but you are out of stock on the strawflower symphony😪
I miss toys to this day that my mom threw out😢
noooo! ok this breaks my heart. Maybe leave it in a time will tell bin and if they haven't missed it in a month THEN declutter.
I'm a butterfly..have to see it to remember it's there 😂
haha! I must have a touch of that too!
I do love your utube channel, but I think you are talking a little fast. Just maybe slow down a little. ❤
Or slow down a lot! I’m stressed after watching a few minutes.
I love her energy and how it comes out in her speaking speed. You can always slow down the speed of the video to suit your tastes
Thanks, I'll try to slow down! I was getting excited. It is a weakness of mine. Even as a school teacher I always had to tell my self to slow down.
@@katieevans1796 I’m definitely going to do this! So much more relaxing and more my speed. 😉

Bless your heart, you do sound stuffy.🤧🤧
Yup! I clears up later in the video.
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
👍🏻❤️
