This will show you how to save money at Home Depot (nearly) all the time! I would have to say that DIY home reno is basically the only hobby we've had for the past 4 years, since buying a house.

I think one thing to consider is "whose memories are these" A lot of the baby clothes and things are the mom's memories, not the childs. I appreciate this video its been helpful while I declutter things!
I am currently in my childhood home decluttering all my leftover stuff as my Mum has been getting annoyed with it. It’s not easy as I so far have kept more than I have gotten rid of, and I have a big maybe pile as well. But I am trying my best. I need to reduce it by 50%.
5:08 This is actually not a bad idea at all. 😆 But unfortunately, nobody did that. 😆
I use my sons graduation tassels as tree decorations at Christmas. There are only two so they don’t really take up room in ornament storage.
like that Friends episode "The One With All The Wedding Dresses" where the girls all went wedding dress shopping but ended up all renting a dress and just hung out in the living room eating junk food and chillin lol. it's a thing, i think you can make it happen if you want to.
blows my mind every time i hear about people journaling, especially that much, cause then theres just soooo much to go thru (like with a huge photo album) if you ever want to re-read things. the only way that ive ever journaled really was simply by doing basic scrap-booking, and i mean basic, like taping a ticket stub or dried plant into a booklet and writing a little context for it.
actually doing under-the-bed storage really annoys me when vacuuming tho so i put those containers in a closet off the floor somewhere if i can
Thank you for documenting your process on decluttering sentimental items. You're right, decluttering is like peeling the layers of an onion. It does get easier over time and you can rid of stuff that was hard to let go over time.
Never was a journaler. Feeling slightly superior I ditched those tassels within a few years of graduation. 🤣
You lost me at the “and when we are all vaccinated “
I will look for your next video,make sure you didn't fall of the steps :).Great job by the wat
My wedding dress was preserved for 35 years and I sent it to a company called unbox the dress and they made my daughters getting ready robe for her wedding 100% from it. I will present it to her next week at her Bridal shower. Also from my dress I had 3 pocket squares made for each of my sons & husband to wear that day and handkerchief for me I have material left over for maybe in the future a christening gown for a grandchild.
There's a walker in that photo about to rip put ur neck😂
"or just swirl it around" No.
the cut off talking about nair 😂
I found this hard! I was like no!!! How can u not keep this? That?!! You are right to let it go…. And I’m encouraged to go through my stuff again… but it was like everyone else’s box with all the same stuff we all hung on to …..
Mine HATE socks They won't wear them any I've tried them all but its cold 😢
My jaw dropped until the end!!! 😂😂 Too funny!
So Action, medical, long term, taxes, and time will tell. How often do you empty/process these?
Wtf was the point of this video? Glutton for attention. Nothing but blah blah with zero information. Humanity is going down the toilet.
I stopped writing in journals years ago, but when I dug them out of the storage boxes and reread them a light went off. Did I really want my grandchildren to read these and know me for the person I was then? No. People change and mature with time, and my journals were not an accurate representation of who I have become. I burned them all!! And it felt SO GOOD to do so.
Agree! Maybe the journal from Spain would be good but the rest 🔥
So true!
I literally just went through boxes of school projects saved for me. Through everything out.
Such a great idea to take photos of the photos and make them into photo books! Great space-saver! Never thought of that, so thank you!
Thanks for the great ideas ❤
Liked because you existed in the 90s and clearly understand it was the best ever.
You’re funny! 😊 that’s why it’s high! - of course a nerf gun! I feel your pain! Love the video!
Thanks
I hope it helped a little!
I was interested in what you had to say until: "...when we all get vaccinated." At that point, you lost all credibility.
Yeah, I didn't realize how many people would refuse a vaccine that saves lives. It's odd that people get vaccinated against other deadly and dangerous diseases, but not this one.
You've been sold a lie. Sorry to be the barer of bad news. They don't care about your health. Just look into the animal testing alone.
@@simpleandhealthymama Both the CDC and Pfizer now state that the vac does not prevent getting the Cov nor prevents transmission of it to other people. How is that “lifesaving”? SaHM, you have been lied to and you have done zero research to educate yourself. Are Myocarditis, blood clots, and weakened immune systems “lifesaving”?
9:51 I have just gone through my journals. The older ones, I just tore out and kept my favorite entries, which were compiled into a life's writings collection. I bought 2 beautiful Dayna Lee journals to transfer these entries into. For my more recent enties, I have a Penzu account, and if I especially love an entry, it gets written in the bound journals.
It sounds like you've got a good handle on what you want to keep and not. I think journals are one of the hardest things (which maybe someday I'll downsize) because they feel like a record or a witness to your life. Even if no one else ever reads them, they're hard to simply dispose of. I like that you've got a balance of not keeping everything and storing thoughtfully what you want to keep.
You know, you could make your daughter's gown part of her (or your room's) decor by either getting it framed or hung from an antique clothing hanger. As for your wedding gown, you can eithewr save it for your daughter, or donate to an organization whioch makes burial gowns for stillborn infants.
Oh that's a good idea for adding her gown to her room. Her room even has an accent wall that's purple, so it would fit. I've heard about these organizations that will repurpose your wedding gown. I think if I decide I'm ready to donate it, that's a great idea of a way to do it so that it would feel meaningful.
@@simpleandhealthymamaI saw a lovely idea where a person snipped a piece of lace from underneath their wedding dress, where you wouldn't see it, and put it in a locket with a wedding photo. Then they donated the dress
I started like you with sentimental items. Fist I had a box for under the bed, a smaller box and some of my bigger sentimental items in my closet. Since then I have now 1 box under the bed and some of my more decorative items hung or placed as decor. Most of it is travel sourverniers from childhood and my shell/crystal/butterfly collection. I sold quite a vew of my butterfly collection and kept 3 frames. Same for my shell collection. I did keep most of my crystals and donated the smaller pieces. Im looking to get a new hobby so I might need to go trough all my items again. Some sentimental items can be a hobby or a part of past you you just cant seem to let go off. One of my most sentimental things are letters from my cousin when we where kids. A story I wrote as a child, a small owl sculpture I got from a overseas friend. I have more stuff but on the top of my head those mean quite a bit to me even trough they are not functional items. I do go trough my pictures sometimes. I took everything out of books and just kept my favorites. I just dont know what to do with my digital photos. Id love to add them to my photo stack. Not selfies or anything. But fotos from moments I care about. I remember being quite sad as a child so to have more phosos of my teen/adult favorites might help. And truefully I never look at my photos on the computer. Its just not the same. I also do not want to be reminded of the pas all the time. I really want to move on and start living in the now.
I think you're right - that past hobbies can feel sentimental. Having kids has really helped me see that I was keeping a lot of stuff for hobbies I no longer have time for and won't for a very long time. BUT, I still have my tap shoes. It feels so silly. I could get rid of them now and get a new pair if I someday started taking tap dance lessons again. We all have our things that are our sticking points though. So, I did what I could for now and then will take another pass at it again later. For me the main goal of decluttering is that I don't want to spend my time managing stuff; I want to spend my time with my family and friends and living - just like you said. It's nice to have a few reminders of our past, but definitely not so many that our belongings prevent us from living in our homes and living our lives to the fullest. It sounds like you've got a good start and great mindset!
You can get your own photo books printed and they look really professional. So instead of tons of loose photos you could have even one book of all the special ones
Thanks for offering such a full tour. It really is helpful for families starting or continuing their decluttering journey to see other examples.
Thanks for watching! I've been away from my channel for a while and it's fun to be reminded of what our spaces used to look like. We're still not quite to where I want to be in every area of our home, but I can tell you after a few years of consciously decluttering and not bringing so much new stuff into our home, there are so many rooms that feel "finished" (if that's possible) and are easy to maintain and live in. I spend way less time than before putting things away and moving things around and organizing things because there's just less excess. Good luck on your journey!!
Wow, you are quick and brutal! i wish I could be. I have 200+ boxes in storage to deal with and need to get further faster in my process, complicated by childhood and other traumas of losing everything in fires, etc. I handmade my own wedding dress! For me, I'll keep it in my box of my art. Loving the idea of each person having their own memory box in their closet, because as of now, I have responsibility for everyone's stuff. It will be good to separate out each person's stuff for them to take governance over. ha
It's certainly not easy, but I'm so happy with the progress we're making. Our house is easier to live in and feels bigger when we don't have too much stuff in it. We've also gotten so much better about not bringing in new stuff unless we really want it. Our sone recently went through his memory box with me and was so excited to see the things I'd saved from when he was a baby. Then we tossed a couple of things that seemed important at the time but no longer seemed worthy of the space. I went through an apartment fire in college and it made me cling to the things that did survive, which is the opposite message I wish I'd taken from it. I feel like it's taken time, but now I have a better grasp of what role I want my belongings to play in my life. Good luck to you in your journey!
@@simpleandhealthymama thank you, and thanks for the fresh perspective you offer.
I love your idea for everyone having their special keepsake boxes . Definitely going to start this for my family
Thanks for watching! Glad some ideas were helpful. I'm still working at getting rid of more things, but I'm very happy with how our house is currently functioning after already simplifying so much. Good luck to you on your journey!
You lost me at “when we all get vaccinated.” ✌🏼
Yeah, I didn't forsee so many people refusing the vaccine. So there's no "all" is there? It's sad that we have the tool we need to prevent more death and yet so many people are refusing to get it.
Boy, this video has hit home. Must tell you, I’ve been watching vids about decluttering, photo organizing, sentimental items and I watched AT LEAST 40 of them. But this one has hit home. Your saved items are exactly what I’ve saved also and I just needed someone to talk out loud about ‘the stuff.’ Thanks so much. I’ve just subscribed and looking forward to binge watching what I’ve missed, no less future videos.❤
Oh my goodness, what a sweet compliment. I'm so happy this was helpful. I watched many videos as I was learning about minimalism and decluttering and I know they helped me change my mindset, which was a necessary first step. I've been away from my channel for a while and am excited to start getting videos out again. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Lmao as someone who lived in the north(east) for 20+ years.... never have I thought about having a place to shovel snow from your front and back yard.
It's a thing! Seriously. Our snow stays, it doesn't snow, melt, repeat like other places. It just adds up and up and up.
Lovely to learn something new and it makes sense.
Thanks for watching!
but like who asked
Haha, no one. Just funny tidbits about cold-weather living.
so like get a good narrow snoblower that throws it waay out front. small but powerful. And where will you store this machone? Side hall or, shloveling distance from back door. Don't want to rely on them neighbors to clear your front sidewalk Waidaminnit front what??sidewalk.
Maybe someday ....
Wow
Thanks for watching!
Subscriber 674 here. Just establishing my territory. Don't mind me.
Welcome and thank you!
Wow my journals, I shredded two years ago, there is stuff in those books th hat I wouldn’t want to leave for my husband or kids to go through
Oh that's a good idea. I don't remember what's in all of mine and there are probably some that could get shredded since I'm not to to read them nor do I want anyone else seeing them!
I actually lost weight in 2020 but gained it back in the following year due to everything being open again. 😂 I just did my closet declutter yesterday. I took everything out that I haven’t worn. Tried things on and put back the clothes that fit and saved the rest in a different spot. I’m going to try and lose the weight and therefore I’m hanging on to it. But I think I have to make a goal and donate if I don’t get to use it by a certain time. Definitely easier said than done. 😊
Sooo much easier said than done. I still think I have too many clothes. I've limited my box of things that don't fit to one box and did take all the jeans out of it when I went to a clothing swap this winter. I'd had enough time and they still didn't fit, so off they went. I have enjoyed having only clothes that fit out in my closet because I don't think having the others taunting you is helpful. Good luck on your journey!
I have kept my school stuff too. And the digital stuff is on floppy disk!😮
Floppy disk! We just turned some old floppy disks into office art work. Be sure to get whatever you want off of those before it becomes impossible!
You have a nice house. Is it a California craftsman? Do you have a video on your drainage system? I’m very curious.😊
Thanks. We're in Minnesota, where a lot of the houses are stucco because it's a good insulator. Ours feels like it's got a bit of a Spanish revival feel to it, so I'm leaning into that when I design spaces. I've been thinking about doing a tour of the remodeling and updating we've done, especially since that's the thing that's been keeping me from making more videos. Our drainage system is a barrel that's buried in the front yard, away from the house, and connected to PVC piping that attaches to drain boxes we placed under our downspouts. So the water comes down into these plastic boxes that then send it into the pipes and into the yard where it goes into the barrel that has holes in it and rocks all around it. So far it's worked great, along with the new sidewalk and patio we put it that slope away from the house. Since we then remodeled the basement, I'm quite glad we did the drainage project first!
Thanks for sharing this, I feel like I was failing with all of the family clutter, but this helped to show me a non-48-hours-crime-show regular family with a similar situation. I'm going thru the process here, and I will watch your videos this week. Thanks!
Oh thank you. I've been away from my channel for a while and am excited to start posting videos again. We've been remodeling our house, so I should probably also show what we've been working on. Part of what we did was finished off more of the basement, which was possible because we got rid of stuff that was just taking up space before. I'm encouraged that we have made the progress we have and excited to keep going until I feel all our rooms are as livable as the ones we've finished decluttering. Thank you for watching and good luck in your journey - it certainly isn't quick or easy, but definitely worth it!
Hey! For the wedding dress there are places that you can donate h to at then then Into beautiful gowns for babies to be buried in ❤❤
That's such a beautiful idea. Thank you.
What about light skin black people? There are many light skin people of other races that you can't even tell are black, for one that lunatic who ran into the parade once his hair was cut you can't tell he's "black". Actually moron I have left stores without bags and had them ask for my receipt many times, I've also many times been followed around and one time at hobby lobby even accused.of stealing when I wasn't, I had just had my baby was 1 month p.p amd walking around and got approached, I am white so how did that happen? You are so stupid, just because it hasn't happened to YOU doesn't mean it doesnt happen to other white people, maybe you are privledged but not all white people are
