I think sometimes as moms, letting go of certain items can be hard because it is also saying goodbye to that stage in our childs life. It nay seem silly but getting rid of crayons and glue sticks was hard for me. Great video Karen! Another bag of stuff to toss and a box of stuff to donate!
Hi Karen! You could swap bins to get the fall decor to get a bigger one. Look around if there is one half full somewhere. In that way your pillows would fit to. The storm supplies might need a bigger bin to, so that you can add to it in the future. The DVD´s could take the storm supplies bin in a swapp.
Karen, awesome declutter!! You accomplished so much. Good you were able to donate some to your church. The shelf unit looks great. Also the soup. Cheers
I think that you have some potential life stages/changes upcoming - maybe kids moving out, job directions (including youtube), retirement planning, the end of homeschooling, maybe more travel?, possibly moving, etc. Those are just random :) But, I think you're going to have plenty of decluttering fodder in the years to come. Thank goodness for us at least, haha. You have great craft materials. Last winter when I did our office I got the craft stuff I was willing to keep down to one drawer. The grands love to know that it's there and I like the amount of space it takes up (very Dana K. White I guess!) I should confess that I have an entire file drawer of various paper still though, a life time supply. I literally plan to never buy paper again except for printer paper as needed. I buy a 10 ream box at a time and share with my homeschooler grands. The other thing I have in good supply is clear packing tape which I use for a variety of things. Thinking about it now, I really need to get rid of the masking tape which doesn't store well and I never use anymore. It's a another piece of the onion.
I was so confused when you put plastic bag in crockpot, just learned that plastic liners are common, lol. I'd rather stay clear from all plastic as much as I can, but probably it's easier and faster to clean, you just have to throw away the liner.
So happy to see you this morning. My oven is out , so it is repairman day for me.While I watched, the refrigerator got a quick swipe out. The oven was able to be repaired , saving me! Car wash and out visiting SIL in the afternoon.
That’s exactly what I do also. I keep the noodles in a separate bag or container because I don’t like the noodles to get too soft or mushy if leftover.
You might consider checking your markers and see if they have life left and donate to a senior center. Also some of the craft things would be good for a senior center. As far as the dividers for the under the bed box, someone might be looking for those and could use just that.
Karen, what about getting a beautiful orchid for spring and not put out the cutesy stuff. It will elevate the look of your house and you aren't storing stuff that if you moved you wouldn't want to take. Also, a crisp white shower curtain that doesn't need to be changed out will also elevate the look of your house and save you the time of changing it out. You seem to have a lot of stuff you change out and it takes more time and mental energy than you think.
It is fun to watch how much enjoyment you get out of decorating for all the different holidays and seasons. It appears to me that spending your time switching things up for you and your family, obviously brings you joy and pleasure. Good for you!
@@MatteokittyI agree 😊 we actively live here, it’s not a showcase. I like switching things up periodically, and decorating for a few different occasions throughout the year.
Hi there … FYI ….. Whey is totally gluten free. You may be confusing soy with whey. Soy sauce is enter ally wheat based which is why we celiacs use gluten free soy sauce or tamari. The beef broth does include soy but no whey so it is not gluten free. But thanks to you I will be more conscious about checking ingredients in broths. Have a great day😊 ….. totally enjoy your videos!
Came here to say the same. Whey is dairy, right? I’m gluten free also and I usually use chicken broth, but I will also be looking at beef broth going forward, so thank you everyone😊
Watching you at the end of the day. It´s 6:45 - can I go to my bed please? I´m so tired all the time - spring I need you now! 😅 Two more days of school and then I´m off for a little break (1 week). My grandbaby girl is coming (she´s 5 month toady). I can´t wait to hug her!
Great tiny declutter. I think it was a good move to clear out some of the old and unused craft supplies and the crushed flowers. The shelves looked so organised after you had finished. I couldn’t help wondering why you didn’t give some of the coloured pens to your Sunday school though. Was it because they were too dried out? The soup looked really nice, I think my hubby Roger would like that recipe because he loves tomato based soups. I prefer broths or creamed soups, rather than tomato based ones myself. Please tell Robin I made his dip today, but like I suggested yesterday, I added capers rather than the chillies. I served it in lettuce cups instead of with corn chips. We had it for lunch and it tasted really yummy.
Personally I’d just get different pillow covers instead of pillows. I wouldn’t want to store pillows since they’re so bulky. Or you can vacuum seal them to save space.
I’m an artist, and a do know that different kind of paints expires, just not sure how long they last. I normally do oils, but acrylics I would be careful using if they have been sitting in the basement for a long time😊
Those flamless candles you are not sure if you want to get rid of, maybe add them to storm stuff I know they don't give out much light but they do give out a little.
Someone got us Insta pot and I never would’ve done so for myself, but it is one of my favorite kitchen items. I use it at least once a week and it is amazing for bringing things up to temperature quickly, plus you can sauté your veggies right in it. If you’re getting a new crockpot, I highly recommend getting an Insta pot. It is very much worth it.
😂 *lol* Misses Rabbit needs a husband and maybe a nose...I had a husband for her but smth happend to that poor man.... this totakly cracked me up... you have such a great humor 💚
😊 that was alot 😊
Yes!! Felt great! 🙌
Great job! #bingewatchingfromTampa
Wow, you peeled a nice thick layer off the onion, especially the craft supplies! 🧅
Love your hair this way. I think it makes you look younger. Going to try this recipe. As always a good decluttering.
Thank you!! 😄

Your dramatic music was epic!!
Thanks! 🥰
@@ThisMainerMom I've been watching Jodi Dunn for a long time!
Amazing Karen. I could see the joy on your face ! Thank you for sharing x 💙❤️💚💜
The soup looked delicious and you did a great job decluttering those bins!
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi! New subscriber. Here from Jodie Dunn.
Hello and welcome!! I am so glad you are here! Isn’t Jodi awesome? 💗
My hubby can crochet- i cannot- gotta love renaissance men ❤
Yes you gotta! I can’t crochet either!
Karen, the cup of craem!! girl!! I would've SO dropped that too. thanks for the realness once again.
Pretty much defines my skill and grace! 🥳
@@ThisMainerMom YES11 I love it.
Hi Karen love watching your channel I am from South Africa ❤

Excellent session!

That’s wonderful that you were able to wipe out the fridge! I pray the oven is an easy, inexpensive fix! 💗
Definitely trying that soup this weekend 😊
I’ve got to declutter a craft room that is brimming over - soon! I’ll be donating a good bit of it hopefully. Thanks for the motivation!
YAY!! 🙌
lol, the cream! Oooops. No one got hurt so it’s ok to laugh.
😂
That soup looks delicious.

I might try making this soup with cauliflower instead of pasta. It looks delicious!
Yes that would work great! It would be yummy just skipping pasta with no sub too! 😃
My crock pot lol takes hours to start bubbling.
That's good to know!! 🙌
Personally I’d just get different pillow covers instead of pillows. I wouldn’t want to store pillows since they’re so bulky. Or you can vacuum seal them to save space.

Also, paints shouln’t be tossed in the regular garbage. Better to take it to spescial places for chemical and toxic stuff etc
Thank you!! Super helpful! 😍

Those flamless candles you are not sure if you want to get rid of, maybe add them to storm stuff I know they don't give out much light but they do give out a little.

About the beef broth- whey is gluten free. Whey is dairy.
My crock pot looks like yours and the settings order is medium, high, warm
Yes I know. Nature Promise beef broth says it contains wheat which contains gluten.
Did I say whey? I meant wheat. 🙃
I love using ziplock bags to divide items.
❤
We don't really have any Dvds, and very few Cds.
They're kind of a thing of the past now! 😃
😂 *lol* Misses Rabbit needs a husband and maybe a nose...I had a husband for her but smth happend to that poor man.... this totakly cracked me up... you have such a great humor 💚

I like to cut my chicken when its a little frozen.
I clean off all that skin and fat on the chicken breast also.
Why don't you just take a sharpie marker to your crockpot and write H W L on the places it used to be? No need to replace what works.
I must have heard you wrong? You said your beef broth has "whey" in it and therefore not "GF" Whey is dairy, *not* wheat
I meant wheat! Not sure why I said whey! 🤪
@@ThisMainerMom lol! That happens! My oldest daughter is both Dairy free & GF! OY!
