Minimalism to our family means each item in our home has a purpose and gets used regularly. It's less about the number of items and more about the function of each item and how it contributes to our home. Let me know if you enjoyed this video! I can't wait to take you through the rest of the house as declutter, re-organize and minimalize!

“She’s literally never played with it” 😂😂
The same thing just happened to us! We were decluttering my 4 year old son’s toy animals and he said he was ready to donate because “they could make another kid happy!” For a brief second I thought to myself how nice it was he understood and was learning the process. Then without a word our 2 year old daughter walked over and dumped the toys back out and said “no!”
😆 lol little ones are so funny
🤣🥰
Maybe try replacing the blue rug on their floor with the car one and see if it gets used more? Out of site out of mind.
Maggie Robertson yes! I did this with my daughters and it’s used a lot more often
My mum did this for me as a kid, having a road mat instead of a normal mat. I freaking loved it. Anything with wheels was my jam. I also remember playing with dolls on it too like here goes Barbie to the grocery shop..😅
I wish we could! The car may we have for them just rolls up and isn’t adequate as a traditional rug! That would be so fun though!
I loooove the blue rug!!!
Tip for books: The moomin series, written by a finnish author. Really beloved in nordic countries. My soon 5 year old boy love those books!
I’m forever trying to sneak toys out of the house past my twins, so this has given me the motivation to try & involve them a little more 🧸
Toys are never as precious as when they're about to be gone 🤣 it's hard to be 3. The realness of your response though 🤣🤣🤣
🎃
(Hailey crying over shield)
Me: Aww, poor Hailey!
Natalie: She's literally never played with it.
Me: 😂😂😂
I totally get it. I have two kids, almost 6 and almost 3, and my 5 year old hates parting with toys.
We're on a similar situation with Legos too. My kids both love megabloks, especially my son. But they get frustrated with how easily their creations come apart, so we're moving on to duplos. They'll be easier to store anyway. We also feel the same about books. Reading is one of their favorite things to do. If we notice there's a book they don't ask for anymore we get rid of it, but other than that we don't really put a minimum on books.
For my nephews and nieces and also for my great niece, I ask their parents for a list of their wants, likes, etc and even what the parents would rather we avoid. It's not my house that is going to be filled up with what I get them, so I prefer to ask first. It's just basically good manners to me. It's good to see that I'm not just being a weirdo lol
EnglishStephanie I do this with my friends and families kids too, like this year I took my cousin shopping for school supplies for her birthday because that’s what she needed, I’d rather fill a need than give something that they’ll play with twice and then it’ll clutter their home.
@@NatalieJM4 I'm totally with you.
I always ask the parents of kids I’m buying for too. Not only do I not want to get gifts that the parents don’t want in their house, I don’t know what the kids needs are, so I’d rather get something useful/needed/wanted than random junk lol
My kids are only 3 but for the past 3 years when over zealous grandma would bring way too many things I would sneak them out to the Garage before anyone could remember them. I just got to donate 4 large boxes of new toys to a wonderful charity for military kids! So there's a tip for while they're little :) As they're getting older I need to keep them involved 🤗🤗
As a grandma, I would object to doing that! At least return them to the store, and get a refund. But, more importantly, grandparents spend hard-earned money to buy those toys; they're not just "junk" to be decluttered. I wouldn't want my kids to do that with my grandkids' gifts. Maybe offer some gift suggestions.
@@annw1395 She's been my mother in law for 15 years. I know her very well. She is a hoarder, an emotional over purchaser. I've learned she doesn't return anything it just gets buried in her house. I say all this to further explain why I do this. They become great gifts for children less fortunate. Military children in this instance. Most people have the grandparents you described and shouldn't do my method.
I'm also curious how you feel about Amazon wish lists for kids. My son has a December birthday so it's kind of crazy with Christmas right next to it. I've always told people to please not feel obligated to bring him a gift to his party. He understands (because I taught him from the get go) that his Birthday is in a financially tight time for most people & we'd rather they blessed us with their presence then with presents. But when people insisted on getting him something & wanted ideas I'd send them a link to his Amazon wish list (it also came in handy for family for Christmas gifts). If they want to spend money to get him a gift I'd rather it be on a gift he'd actually want/I'd approve us. It also helps me! As he mentions things he'd like theough the year I put it on the list & when time gets closer show him & ask which ones he's still interested in.
I think that is a wonderful idea.
I wasn’t blessed with children, but I love seeing your sweet family. I hope the boys had a wonderful birthday! 🎉🧸
I've been so overwhelmed with toy clutter lately! This video was so encouraging. You are so calming and just make it seem doable. Needed to see this! Also, I like what you said about buying a base set to be expanded upon. Great idea!
We got an ikea trofast table with the shallow bins for my boys legos, they don't have to dump out the bins that way to find what they need.
The Berenstain Bears is a definite favorite of my son! He also likes anything animals but we're so blessed that he LOVES books! 🧸🧸🧸
We LOVE the Berenstain Bears!!! ♥️♥️♥️
They're so cute and always have a great message in them! 🥰
Loved the tip about buying toys where they can expand their collection and grow up with it!! 🧸
Razor scooters are on our gift list too! Definitely feel the struggle when it comes to grandparents....they seem to think it needs to have 50 pieces minimum lol. We are also on a journey towards a more minimal mindset. Problem is the grandparents think the kids need an equal number of gifts each...where we would rather see them get one useful gift like a scooter and maybe some stocking stuff.
Yass, Lego bases are key. I used them for basically EVERYthing.
I threw away ALL of my Lego sets back in 2019 and my parents have no idea.
Great video. We did a new thing this year to reduce the amount of gifts coming into the house as we are still working through last years birthday gifts (mostly craft sets). We did family gifts only and asked all our daughters friends to donate to a charity my daughter chose (a donkey sanctuary). It totally worked and stopped her being overwhelmed with a huge amount of gift. ❤ it also helped to develop the idea of donating to charity.
What Do You Do With an Idea and that whole series are my favorite! I actually used to read it to my HS English classes when I assigned them their first essay as a sort of inspirational story about the power of perseverance.
I live in a small apartment and been seriously loving the messy to minimalist series specially when it comes to stuffed bears 🧸 those tend to accumulate pretty quickly.
Tomorrow I will be helping my daughter purge before school starts. We might need some prayers. Thanks for keeping up on this series. Need it! Many blessings!
Your leadership with your children is wonderful! It’s so much easier to de clutter without children and I so admire the way you are training them💖
🧸 I don’t have any mom friends and your content really helps to fill that void! Thanks for all you do!
When my kiddos were babies I joined moms groups from MeetUp app and churches. Good luck! 💗
My daughter is obsessed with books! Piggie and Gerald are her favorite! We donate to the after school care (well before Covid)
*book emoji haha I'm on my computer* My favorite books are the Goosebumps series. They're sooo good!
I love all your choices for your twins. My boys are not twins but share the same birthday. They are exactly four years apart! So we always celebrate them together. This year because I am taking a more minimalist approach to gifts, We decided to take them somewhere as a family. My oldest son has really gotten into animals and science. We took our children to the Cook Museum of natural science in Decatur Alabama. We let them pick out a small treasure from the gift shop and then took them out to eat at a restaurant of their choice. They did not feel deprived and we had a great time. Kids don’t want things, they just want your time. I knew they would receive presents from family members that would be toys so I was trying to make sure with Christmas around the corner we didn’t overwhelm ourselves. I used to be the kind of mom that thought because it was a good deal I can spend the same amount of money and get more stuff. Years and years of living that lifestyle and I was drowning in toys. One day I came across a video on UA-cam that stated “So it’s OK to spoil your kids, as long as it was a good deal?” That really made me think. I thought I wasn’t spoiling my kids because I saved money but I was still teaching them to value physical possessions and teaching them more you have, the happier you’ll be. Now I am so much more intentional with gifts. And I’m teaching my kids to value having less because it’s less they have to manage. They usually only play with only certain things anyways. And at the end of the day all they want is really family time.❤️
We have 4 bins in the living room. Legos, cars, Legos, magnatiles. These are played with the most. I hate plastic chunky toys too.
I loved the little house series growing up 📚
Thanks for sharing!! 💗🎉🎉🎉
You are such a good mom.
Good Night Moon 📚 such a classic
Lego is the best gift. Hours and hours of entertainment for my 8 and 5 year olds!
Yeee! Another declutter video! Love your channel! 🎉🎉🎉
Love decluttering and keeping things simple! 🤍🖤🍂🎃
The Mother Goose Book with the black and white checker cover! I had it when I was little and read it to my babies. 📚
Great to involve the kids!
Loving the series...each one gets better!🎉
🎉We love to read “Little house on the prairie “ , my kiddos love the Breyer horse books and my littles love “Little Blue Truck books”. Happy Birthday to Liam and Judah😊
Love how the trundle can be used for toy storage! We just moved our boys 6 and nearly 4 into bunks. Watching your video had truly inspired me to go through their room again as it is so so overwhelming with all the toys 😏
My mom kept my berenstein bears collection of books and my littles are loving reading them right now ❤️
So much great toy decluttering inspiration! 🧸
We live pretty minimally as well, but this has inspired me to do another round of decluttering before the holidays!
Duck and goose books are my son’s fav. I always loved little house on the prairie and Madeline 📚
I can't wait!
Thank you for the motivation! Bringing you with me has helped me so much!
I cannot wait for your coffee video! It's always the beginning of my fall ♥️

🎉Love this series ! I have been minimizing in my home and decluttering. Feels so good and this series gives me inspiration! Gotta get my basement and garage done now that the house is all set !
Love this series. 🎉
My kids are older now, but when they were younger, we'd talked about for grandparents "bigger" gifts, it had to be for all 3 of our children (like a trampoline for Christmas), but for other gifts... We would suggest a small gift, and money into their savings accounts. That way, @ 16 or @ 18, they could have money for a car or graduation or college. So a little some now, and a little for later. My kids qppreciqted it later, and didn't know any difference when they were younger.
Thank you, We have two toddler boys thank you for motivating me to declutter their toy's
🧸🎉can’t seem to stop decluttering toys!!!
🎉 just the motivation I needed today! We like to keep a majority of our toys in our garage, and we rotate our toys every few months. Time to rotate, and thanks to this video, declutter!
Loved watching this one, need to do this with my girls! 🧸
Love to turn on one of your videos as I knock out my own cleaning to do list 🎉
🧸 I need to go through our toys again and get rid of more. Super inspirational.
🧸 I have recently moved into my first apartment and your messy to minimal series always inspires me to keep things limited when I want to start buying home decor/ seasonal accessories! Thank you for being so sweet
Favorite children’s book are the Llama llama books!!
🧸 Loved the decluttering motivation!
Right now my sons favorite books to read to me are Henry & Mudge as well as Junie B. Jones. Books he's really loving for me to read to him are the Wally McDoogle books.
Love these videos!! I've decluttered my entire house too, and the toys a few weeks ago! Feels amazing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love this series!! 💕🧸🎉
I did the same thing with my kids toy! I only left what i know they really play with, i feel more organized and calm after that. Thanks for sharing 🧸
🧸🧸🧸🧸
I just decluttered my kids toys as well!! It’s so freeing!!
I love this series so much! Its such an inspiration to me! 🧸🧸🧸
thanks for the spot on how to except gifts from family
You said "limit categories of toys" & omgsh that is such a helpful tip for me! I've been struggling with the kids toys. I get so overwhelmed & irritable about them. I'm going to use that tip to declutter more in the morning!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’ve been here since before you started this series bUT I LOVE this. Thank you for the motivation
My boys(who are now in their 30's) had two main collections growing up. Legos and Playmobiles. They never outgrew them or tired of them. I still have the large totes of them for my grandkids. My boys will still get on the floor and play them with their kids . They have lasted so well through all these years!
I love to read my twin girls the Serendipity books 📚!
🎉 I have started this week actually with having my daughter (6yrs) slowly start purging toys. In the past I have always just taken out what she hasn’t played with. I think it’s time to have her start learning the process. Thank you for your videos. I am really enjoying this series
🎉Ive been loving this series! And I’m super excited for the new one you’re working on!! 👀
“Tuesday’s with Morrie” by Mitch Albom has to be one of my top favorite books 📚
Love watching your videos Nat 💕 Hope you have a wonderful week 🌞
Love this! Thank you!
Also. Love your shirt!!
🧸🧸🧸 so many great tips. Definitely got me off my rear end today
🎉 Loved, as always!!! 😘
I needed this motivation to go through my boys toys and get rid of some before their birthday. 🧸 Also so glad they got to celebrate with friends and family this year. ❤️
🧸 great tips and motivation!
Loving these type of videos from you! 🧸
Absolutely love your videos!! This gives me insight with my 6 year old boy and almost 2 year old. Of course a new baby coming in about 6 weeks. Happy Birthday to Judah and Liam!! Hope they had a fantastic birthday!!!
Loved this video 🧸!
In terms of family gifts, art supplies. We always can use new crayons or paper. Plus they aren't expensive so I don't have to feel like we are taking advantage of our families generosity.
We had a baby this year and as a minimalist, I am very nervous for Christmas time and gifts from family members. You did a great job on how to navigate the conversations with them while setting boundaries. 🎉🎉 Love these videos!
Moving and also have a Liam so we've been talking about decluttering and we got rid of all the mid-sized duplo type legos in favor of the "big kid" lego - we only kept one small set of the duplo, a little pilot and his airplane because he loves it, but he was quite happy to pass the rest of the duplo onto another kid
Haha we have that IKEA Python! My 4 year old son *loves* it.
This video has been soooo helpful I have really struggled in the past of what to get rid of and what to keep alongside what to buy for Xmas & birthdays. I have always felts more is better to give them choice but actually they don’t play with everything. I am now going to go and do the kids bedrooms & make a plan for Christmas with these tips in mind. Thank you 😘
