DECLUTTER my ENTIRE house with me ROUND 2! | downsizing to move + minimalism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- After researching the costs of moving across the country twice, even with just a U-HAUL, we discovered that we could MORE than replace all of our items with the money we would have spent on moving! So we are decluttering everything we own and only taking what will fit in our van and our car. In this video, I'm sharing round two of minimizing and decluttering as we are just a few days out now from our big move!
I hope it gives you lots of motivation whether you are moving as well or just wanting to minimize your possessions.
Stay tuned for my upcoming moving day video!

Thanks so much for watching the second phase of my downsizing and decluttering to move series! What is your biggest challenge when it comes to decluttering to move and how do you overcome it?
Contact your local women's shelter about the breast pump.
Great idea! If they won’t take it (sometimes they don’t because it is considered a medical device and there is a liability with that) you could offer it on facebook marketplace, Craigslist, or in a mom group for free :)
I’d suggest filling your pantry storage containers with clothes or smaller items wrapped in clothes. It could save some space and give extra cushion. Love watching your videos!
That was a great idea Kelsey! It was super helpful and definitely was a game changer 💗
You should be better known! You are one of the best minimalist/ declutter-ers I've seen ! How long until you leave?
I agree! When I first found her last year, I was shocked to see only several comments on a video and a few hundred subscribers. She’s just like the popular minimalists channels I follow
Thank y'all so much for your support 🤗 it means the world! 🌍
We moved a couple states away last month and did a shipping cube and then loaded our car up with immediate needed items and drove. I had been planning on taking my beloved spider plant with me in the car, but when it came down to it it didn’t fit and I had to rehome it. My ONE “decluttering” regret. I miss it 😢
I feel your pain 😭 we had to re-home several of our larger plants and it was heart breaking
There always so much stuff you didn’t know you had! Drives me crazy sorting through it all 😭 You are doing such a good job!
It can be a challenge for sure, but You got this Madeleine! Thank you 😊
I love your videos! You deserve so many more subscribers! I hope your channel grows because you make such great content and you always speak so clearly and give great ideas. Good luck with your move! I’m excited to see how you choose to organize your new space! :)
Oh, you said basically the same thing I did before reading your comment!
Thank you so much Louis! It means a lot 😊
Great job! For stuff you don't know what to do with, a great option is to post them on your local buy nothing or free cycle group. Otherwise you may be able to drop off at a municipal electronics recycling center!
Thank you. That's a great suggestion! Thanks for sharing Alyssa
I’m in San Antonio so I feel ya on the weather!! Really enjoyed the video :) I love a good decluttering! Also I am glad to see I’m not the only one who gets rid of old canvas photos! My mom thought I was crazy! But they were not my style anymore and I have the real images saved digitally so I was easily able to let them go 😊😊
I’m in San Antonio also! This weather is crazy lol
@@gdsgrl4468 NO KIDDING!! Felt like summer two days later LOL Only in Texas!!
I totally agree, it was a little hard at first to get rid of them due to nostalgia. However, it was the best thing for us in our new place. Thanks for sharing! I'm so glad you enjoyed.
I’m in Austin and lost power and water too. It was crazy. Glad you guys are safe.
Thank you Lauren. I hope y'all fared well.
Display the flute Heather in your knew place out of the box, great decor item and small too x
Thanks for the idea Rachel 😊
I suppose you have the same in the US, l would list the bed and the breast pump in a kind of "l'll give it if you come and pick it up" Facebook group. I gave a whole old kitchen, a bed and 2 sofas that way. Most clothes donated to charity shops are sadly thrown away ( I volunteer in one) either because they get too much stuff or because they are very dull and worn in. So l really think we should buy less and use more what we have instead of just donating and buying again.
Thank you for sharing Mayra. I appreciate your feedback ☺️
I just gave away two dining chairs and a hope chest, no ads needed, just put on the curb! I thought I'd have to at least out a curb alert on FB, but the neighbor was having a yard sale, so everything went the same day. Oh, and a non-working electric cooler too!
Family of six here. I don't have a single water bottle in my cabinets. I have three and each of my kids has one insulated water bottle. They are filled and stored in the fridge. This encourages them to drink every day. (I have three bc I'm too lazy to refill it three times a day and bc my kids will often sneak my water bc they may have been too lazy to refill theirs...)
I love that Idea 🤩 smart thinking! Thanks for sharing!
Wow ! Excellent job !! I’d now add : “Good luck with your Move!”, but I’m here ten months later so ... All the Best in your new Home ! And now, your new baby is here, tooo !
I have moved / downsized a few xs. And raised two ( now grown) terrific kids. I am pretty good about getting rid of stuff, ESP when I move ! I’m almost 62 now & STILL have more to do ! So you’ve inspired me. But ugh : I am so stubborn about my books! Happily, 1/3 or 1/2 have gone over time. But ideally, another 1/2 ( at least) should go. Annnnd .... oh no ! Old cassettes of rare stuff ! I neeeeeeed to transfer them to digital . But I’m “lo tech“ and don’t quite know how to. Was reading up on it yest tho. Itz GOTTA be done! I have a few shoe boxes filled w cassettes ! I’m so over them ! ( but NOT enuf to toss ... music is huge to me, esp off-beat, non mainstream stuff) . OY ! Thx 4 this vid ! I’ve gotta get rid of another “onion layer” of stuff. And yes ! Heels ! I cant wear them anymore. Last week I donated four pairs of shoes , and sixteen pieces of clothing. Feels great & I don’t miss them one bit ! Cheers from Buffalo, NY ! Liz
I have a container of seashells I collected from many beaches. Same as you, I always think I could do cool things with them, but never have!
Same here! ❤️❤️
You are a smart “declutterer.”
Thanks for the motivation.👏
Thank you Wendy! Glad you enjoyed!
I think you've already moved. But you can donate and share breast pumps. The new owner can get their own attachments. the pump itself can be shared and donated though.
Thanks so much for the tip Paige! I did end up giving it away!
Watching this while I do dishes 😄 I enjoy your videos, they always inspire me to keep decluttering!
And I have that same shoe rack 😄
Awesome! That makes me so excited to hear. Thank you for sharing Amanda ❤️
Hard to believe all the things we acquire and hide away in containers that we really don’t need or isn’t worth paying to move. Are you moving in with someone long term?
Not long term, just temporary 😊
If an item hasn’t been used in 3 months, we donate. If it is broken or damaged, that calls for immediate throw away. We have a difficult time getting rid of the crafts our kids make and clothes they wore at the hospital, etc. For that, we are blessed with an attic. That is where we keep those special items and collectibles. This way, it isn’t in our day to day living space, but we can always remember those memories. ❤️
Yesss! It’s been great to see your thought processes throughout the video. Thanks for sharing :)
It's definitely been a process! Glad you enjoyed
YES ! Hearing the thought process is SO helpful !! Great ideas on ways to get “unstuck” about an item that’s tripping us up , right ?
I live in Dallas! I just stumbled upon your channel this morning as I'm watching some decluttering videos. ❤️
Awesome! Welcome, i'm glad you enjoyed!
Good luck on the move! I'm from NH and moved to Dallas 6 years ago. I'm about to move back out of it too, shortly!
Thank you. Good luck on your move Lauryn!
I keep special rocks/shells in a little dish by the door :) Makes me smile every time I come in
Aww I love that! Great idea 😊
Keep the P-51 can opener!
I just found this video today... you are an inspiration!
I love this so much! We have a goal to move out of state eventually and I started minimalism about 2 years ago. Yet, I have been working on getting down to just the minimum of items so when we do want to sell the house and take the leap it will be an easier process.
After moving how do you feel now on letting go of items that seemed harder at the time? Any regrets moving out of state?
Moving... With a toddler while pregnant! You are brave!
Thank you Lisa! It was definitely challenging, but I was so proud of how well my son did!! He has been so adaptable!
you did a wonderful job
Once you’ve had a real tree, you’ll never want a fake one again! Be sure to get a heavy metal base (ex Santa’s Last Stand) because the plastic ones are prone to tipping.
Thanks so much for the tip!! I will definitely keep that in mind! I cannot wait to go Christmas tree shopping!
@@HeatherMitchellxoxo You’re welcome! Also, since it sounds like you’re moving to a cold climate for potentially the first time, here’s a pro tip from a Canadian on selecting a good winter jacket -> Check out brands like Nobis, MooseKnuckle, and Canada Goose. Even if you don’t buy from there, read the descriptions, see how they describe the parkas, check out the materials, try them on, etc. Look for breathable, wind resistant, water resistant, and a good quality down fill (not all down fillings are created equally!). A good synthetic is harder to find, but feasible if that’s your preference. A high quality winter coat if getting a proper winter makes ALL the difference between hating winter and loving it. Good luck with your move! 🍁
@@ThePrincessSJL Thank you so much! This is SUPER helpful as someone who has spent her entire life in Texas and never really had a need for a super warm coat! I was just telling my husband that we are going to have to get some good quality winter gear! 💕
I loved this video! Subscribed! Your little one reminds me of mine own. Probably they are the same age? Mine is 9 months. :)
Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it 😊 my little one is just over a year.
Glass jars are cheap. Dump the stuff into plastic containers while moving. Tina
Good point 👍 thanks Alan!
Loved this video!!
Thanks Sage!
Why are you moving?
Starting another business, new chapter in life 📖
Just discovered you today. New subscriber here. Liz
Just wondering what state you all are moving to?
I think she said New Hampshire 🙂
Aww, please don't toss your wedding photos... you'll regret it...how about hanging them inside a closet in your new home to display? In between shelves you can still enjoy the memory even if it's not quite your current style! Oh, by the way, I'm from NH, dreaming of visiting TX.! ;-)
She probably won't regret it! She said this is no longer their style of decor so I'm assuming they have a photo album they are keeping . I know for myself I'm not that sentimental to feel you have to keep everything from you wedding, including the dress!!
We've been married for 49 years. Our wedding photos are horrible. I didn't want to buy them. But now, lots of people in the pictures are deceased. You can put them
in a box or choose the ones you like or whatever you like. Tina
Thanks for the idea! We ended up getting rid of them, but we still have the digital copies. So we will have them forever ❤️
Excellent job downsizing! ❤️
Thank you!
@@HeatherMitchellxoxo Welcome!
There are Facebook groups where you can find someone who will want your old breast pump! Typically the recipient will pay for shipping so it will cost you nothing to give it away!
Search “exclusively pumping mamas” that’s one of them
Thanks for the heads up! I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing ☺️
See if there is a Pregnancy Service Center in your area. The one in my town is called Morning Star. They help women in all kinds of situations & would probably take the donation of your breast pump.
They sound like a great organization! Thanks for sharing.
Helping animal shelters😁💚
It's a great feeling ☺️ and a great cause.
Are you going to continue after you move?
Yes I am 😊 we have just finished moving in so I will have some new content out soon 🤞
old breast pump : contact your local La Leche League group.
Great idea ❤️
I am new to your channel why are you moving? Going to be quite a climate change.
Mostly for business, but we are looking forward to the colder weather 🏔️
