Please continue this series all over your house! It's so nice to see your anxiety levels go down from just a bit of reorganizing, and I know it must be a breath of fresh air for you and Joe!
My motto is “if it doesn’t have a home, it needs to go” so anything that doesn’t have a place I donate or trash. It’s helps with the clutter tremendously!!!!! And I keep a basket on the bottom stair, anything that needs to go up we put in the basket, then at the end of the night when I go upstairs I take it with me, empty it, then take it back down in the morning. Works wonderfully!
This was prob one of my favorite videos of yours to watch. A very real transformation from overwhelmingly cluttered to aesthetic and organized. Excited for you as I know how much mental clutter this probably freed up lol . Looking forward to more videos like this!
Don't know if you have one already or not, but for your mail, it's definitely a great idea to invest in a paper shredder. Gives me peace of mind knowing it's shredded in case someone EVER goes through my trash.
Love decluttering series! I have made a list of 30 things to declutter and am doing one per day! A decluttering/rotation of your prepper pantry would be fun to see!
This is weirdly one of my favorite videos you’ve posted in a very very long time! When is the next room being tackled?! This was so satisfying! I loved this!!
I’m a neat freak. It’s both a blessing and a curse lol. I have zero clutter basically in my house, and I dunno if this is a good thing, but getting rid of things doesnt bother me at all…like ever. I actually find it therapeutic to purge things. I don’t hold onto things, or toys or clothes that are broken or I don’t use. I purge once in the winter and once in the Spring, and small purging goes on throughout the year here and there as needed. It makes it so that things never pile up and get overwhelming. I love seeing others declutter, it’s so cool to see how a space transforms:)
OH PLEASE GURL!!!! Anyone who claims that there kitchen counters are never messy and always clear/ organized ARE STRAIGHT UP LIARSSSSS TO THE TENTH POWER!!!!!! I love you for continuing to be ur authentic ( sometimes messy 😉) self !! Love ur life Kayla!! Xoxo
So many decluttering videos from other RUclipsrs are boring but this was so real and entertaining! I think we all know aswell your kitchen really did always look like it did before and it did need decluttered and it wasn't just staged for a video🙂🙂 really enjoyed this Kayla☺
Another thing to try in reference to the basket you mentioned is to make a habit that you never leave a room without taking something that belongs to the next room! It’s not the easiest to implement consistently, but at least making yourself mindful and putting forth the effort will help! It’s totally changed the way I do things! I won’t leave my kitchen without taking something that belongs to my room (or wherever it belongs) and it’s made a huge difference! So if I walk from the kitchen to the living and something in the kitchen belongs specifically in the living area, I take it with me! Another thing I’ve started doing is putting things up where they go immediately. I know it sounds hard, but honestly it’s erasing a step for yourself later! I used to drop my shoes at the door when I walked in, only later to have to go back and put them where they belong. Now when I come in, I take my shoes off and pick them up to be taken to my closet! Simple, mindful steps like that really help. Involve your kiddos if you can! It took me a while to get going, but now that I have, HUGE difference in my day to day tidying! ☺️
Kayla, I got this idea from my sister-in-law . I bought a pretty brown ( to complement the colors in my kitchen ) French bulletin board (prettier than corkboard etc.) that you can tuck pretty invitations i.e. baby shower,wedding,bridal shower or any party behind ribbon. Hang it on wall behind "Command Central ) Definitely buy an upright stand to slide bills etc. in. Just keep return envelope and receipt NOT the entire piece of mail (too bulky ) and keep in chronological .Maybe that could even go on Joseph's desk. Even if you pay the bills his desk doesn't have a lot on it and it can help clean that area clear.This may sound odd but anything taller than your tallest counter top ( i.e. the blender ) should be below cabinets or wherever they fit. Your kitchen will look even NEATER if you can't see anything sticking above the top counter (breakfast bar top) !!
Looks great!! I got some command hooks to hang my oven mittens. I hung them inside the cabinet door closest to the oven. It’s a game changer. Out of the way but quickly accessible.
You did a great job!! I truly find that having less clutter frees up "mental space" for me. I hope you find the same thing is true for you and your family. Clutter, especially in the kitchen, makes me so unhappy. The kitchen is the heart of the home! ❤️
Kayla! We are friends and I LOVE this because… GIRL SAME! Don’t forget about that basement that’s where I put all of my “idk what to do with you” things.
Great job! I'm on an ongoing decluttering journey. Trying to stay on top of things and declutter e.g. my kids' clothes as they grow out of them. It has brought a lot of peace of mind but it sure is some work, too. With kids it's like a job, getting new things for them as they grow, while getting rid of the old ones.
I am so here for this! So excited! Let me tell you minimizing and decluttering and intentional buying will change your life! I used to be like you lol and I have three kids the two youngest are 4 and 1 So I get it I started decluttering and it has changed my mom life and my kids ..kids get overwhelmed with to many things as well! You go girl! You got this! Start one room at a time leave sentimental till last ruthlessly declutter then organize and get bins if you need them after you declutter then clean/organize! I'm excited for you haha xoxo I know it's hard but will be so worth it!
Yass! Just even doing that first bit, we have a side counter that gets cluttered so easily no matter how many times I clear it off! The kitchen is like home base in my house, and everyday is a struggle to clean and keep order ;-;
I moved back to the US from Switzerland 10 days ago. I'm still not fully unpacked. The first 2 days went to jet lag. This has helped me get my butt motivated.
I cleaned out one of my kitchen draw while watching this video thank you for the inspiration!! Also where you mail box is maybe put the sunglasses in there & you can get rid of the basket
Do you know about "The Minimal Mom" on RUclips? She gives such amazing perspective on clutter and "just in case items". My favorite piece of advice from her is this idea of inventory and mental to-do list. It may change your perspective of keeping items just because you already spent money on it, " IN CASE" you might need it for the future. She also has a kids toy series - and my take away from that is, if YOU'RE overwhelmed with your kids toys, that almost always means your kids are too. I've paired down the items of toys for my kids and I noticed that they play longer, by themselves and are much more creative.
I LOVE these types of videos but never really manage to get up and declutter my own house.. haha! We are moving soon though so that will be my chance to do a really big declutter so we do not bring the clutter to our new home! I am a new subscriber and have really been enjoying your content. I accidentally fat fingered the like button and hit dislike at first and it said that would be shared with you so I’m sorry if you see that.. it was a complete accident haha! Can’t wait to see more of the declutter series!
Lol i have a random drawer in my kitchen too! N our command area is our kitchen table🤦🏻♀️ oh I declutter/organize and clean the whole house once a month when my sons at grandmas house for 1 week. With me working graveyard and do school in the day, we dont do day care so its me with my son til my bf gets off then off to work. I give you props doing everything with 2 kids. Lol i can barely do with 1 toddler😂
Paper clutter is SATAN. It’s what I’m struggling with the most. After that’s it’s the kitchen cabinets 😥 On a side note, if you want a way to hold that iPads up without taking up too much space you could try a napkin holder. That’s what I use to hold ours. Thank you so much for this video! Not only did it motivate me to start facing the kitchen and reorganizing it but Joe putting his face in the camera made me laugh 😂 Keep up the great videos 💜
Thanks for the decluttering inspiration! Spring is coming soon so it’s a good time to organize and declutter. My closet is probably the most needed area 🙈 The RUclips channel DoItOnDime has great videos on organizing and decluttering if you want to check it out. A tip I learned is to keep the kids cups and plates easily accessible to them by putting them in a lower cabinet. My 3 year old can just grab her bowl or plate if she needs a snack and feels proud of herself as well. I still have to help her get the snack lol but it’s one less thing to do. 💕
Have you considered keeping the mail in the office? I think it would look nicer and be more functional in that room rather than the kitchen. Just a thought 😊
My philosophy as far as keeping my house simply neat is " A place for everything and everything in it's place " !! The key is you MUST spend 10-15 mins every day returning everything TO it's place. However ,you really do need to declutter to make room for ESSENTIALS. We NEVER let mail (paper ) stay in the house. Read and throw away mail daily and newspapers . . .etc. RECYCLABLE bin !!! Good Luck !!
You know you can bake with the discard too. There are sour dough buns, pancakes etc recipes. Check out king Arthur baking site or other baking blogs that uses the discard.The recipes are like normal baking recipe and you just add the discard for the amount the recipe says. I make the buns when I have at least a cup of discard. Sourdough starter is a commitment, like a pet, or child, lol. I'm experimenting with dry starters that don't require constant coddling and can be left in the fridge for longer periods without feeding.
Nice video. One tip: Assign a place to EVERYTHING.. From pin to paper to pots and pans..every single thing.. And make sure you put everything in its designated place after using it. That way you will not end up with a super cluttered house. Plus kids would get in the same habit as well. In our house we have a rule that kids need to play with couple of toys at a time and keep them back in their places before taking out anything else. Of course they are kids and they still make a mess, but most days they follow this rule which has now become their habit.
It’s the odds and ends that make me crazy! You need them but they’re so little and sloppy looking. Drives me nuts! I feel like we need to do a little ‘junk drawer’ with little dividers like you have rather that random baskets tucked in cupboards. I love these kind of videos. The kitchen looks awesome, make me breath a sigh of relief for your stress levels 😊
It’s so nice to see a normal house getting organized little by little. Thank you

@@KaylaBuell this makes me really nervous
Wow, hello kitchen counters 😊 It was very satisfying watching you declutter the kitchen, specially the counters. Good job! 👏👏👏
"Full blown discussion over cups"
Yes. Truth talking right there. 😅

YES to the decluttering videos 🙌🏻
Your Amazing Kayla! A wonderful mother ! You should feel so proud of yourself! This really helped me get motivated! Thanks sweetness!
Real life organizing, I love it!!
Great work!! You definitely inspired me to do decluttering! I went through paperwork and miscellaneous things that have been accumulated. Thanks!!
Yayyy! Proud of you!!!

Just like your other vlogs, this is so real! Love it!
Your hair looks so good Kayla ☺️
When you have an inspired thought, you must trust it and act on it.
Love your family. Thanks for making real content! I need to declutter my house too!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 so proud of you! Keep m coming❤️
Loved this video! Keep up the decluttering videos! I have to declutter my kitchen soon because I’m having a full remodel done on it!!
Your cup/mug cabinet looks so good! That’s my toughest spot in the kitchen.
Yay! This is going to motivate me to declutter as well and that totally looks like my cabinets.
Tonight is mama’s wine night + catch up on Kayla’s videos night :). Both kids are in bed and I’m in need of some relaxation! lol
Love this content ! Thank you ! I feel inspired! 🤗
My dining room table is a catch all for clutter. For some reason everything just gets dumped on it throughout the day, drives me nuts!
I moved back to the US from Switzerland 10 days ago. I'm still not fully unpacked. The first 2 days went to jet lag. This has helped me get my butt motivated.
Well done as usual Kayla. I enjoyed it!
Great inspo, maybe tomorrow I can de clutter too! You guys did so good!
Thank you for showing what your house actually looks like so I know I’m not the only one haha
The corner next to the refrigirator gave me so much anxiety right now lol
You’re very welcome 🙃🙃
Just what i needed right now!! Thank you as always 🥰😘
I cleaned out one of my kitchen draw while watching this video thank you for the inspiration!!
Also where you mail box is maybe put the sunglasses in there & you can get rid of the basket
Awesome!!
Looks amazing 👏

Anyone else noticed that there is a dish towel on the stove? 😆 🤣
Lmao listen Linda, I wasn’t baking that day 😂
Can you plz link your gold bracelet
That part of your house gave me anxiety, you did so well looks amazing 👏

I decluttered 12 graham crackers while I watched lol
💕 Love it.
maybe make one basket just for mail- ingoing or outgoing!!!!!!
Paused the decluttering to show us a haul… I love it all!
Hahaha had to!
Great video. You and your husband are so funny
Thank you 😘😘
I would keep a basket at the bottom of the stairs so your not cluttering your countertops.
💕hope you’re doing well momma. X
I always feel like surfaces are my arch nemesis because they’re always calling for stuff to drop on them.
It’s the odds and ends that make me crazy! You need them but they’re so little and sloppy looking. Drives me nuts! I feel like we need to do a little ‘junk drawer’ with little dividers like you have rather that random baskets tucked in cupboards.
I love these kind of videos. The kitchen looks awesome, make me breath a sigh of relief for your stress levels 😊
Team effort 👌👨👩👧👦
Why don’t you download the allrecipes app and upload your home chef recipes into the app since that binder is bulky and not aesthetically pleasing.
Don’t put those measuring spoons and cups in the dishwasher! I did with mine and they are destroyed 😢
Thanks for the heads up!!
you should refrigerate your flour it can get weevils lol
the liquor bottle is called a decanter...............
