We, as grandparents, have completely stopped giving “things” as gifts. We have 5 grandchildren who all have at least 2 sets of grandparents each (plus all the other relatives) and they get so much “stuff” they they don’t even know who gave it to them😳 We put money in a college fund for each grandchild on their birthdays and at Christmas. We choose instead to give them “experiences” tailored to each child. For instance, we have one who loves cooking so one year we gave her a week long cooking school for kids. Every summer, we take them for a week and call it “Camp Nana/Papa” and do fun things with them without their parents around....it’s exhausting but oh so much fun! Our oldest is 13 now and still wants to come for the week in the summer so we must be doing something right🤣
My husband and I are doing the same. Savings account deposits on holidays and birthdays with a couple small gifts through out the year. Time together playing and making memories is the very best gift we can give them!!
I love this so much. I am going to try and remember this when I am a grandma the struggle of "stuff" can be so suffocating as a parent.
My husband and I had to force both sets of grandparents to stop purchasing our eight boys "things" They were upset but we did not have space. We told them to keep the "things" at their house, those items piled up, and they finally understood what we were saying.
As a mother of somebody's grandchildren I want to say how amazing it says thank you for doing that for your children and grandchildren. One of our favorite gifts to receive from grandchildren is a family membership somewhere like a museum or a zoo.
@@TessieDobey our strategy, too. They learn quickly this way.
It's like when you walk into the room and you are overwhelmed by all the stuff and you don't know where to begin. The kids feel like that and then they can't see what they have or can't find anything. You are doing a great job and it's wonderful your husband is helping. I've enjoyed this challenge you are going through and see that I can make progress in my own home. TFS
Same thing happened years ago when my sister and I organized our nieces playroom (couldn’t even walk in at first 😂)After they went to bed,we made piles of “like with like”,Barbies,puzzles,etc. and threw away the obvious trash and broken items. The next day,they went through each category and got rid of WAY MORE than we would have. Turns out,you just have to make it doable for them,who knew?🤔😂. On a side note,on almost every single one of those hoarder shows,the hoarder says that their Mom would just get rid of their stuff without asking 🧐 and it was obviously traumatic.
We asked grandparents and other relatives to limit gifts to books and things smaller than a shoebox. It really helps with the “bigger is better” mentality.
I'm a new subscriber. I love when people have actual homes and actual messes under in the process of digging out. I have two older girls and a younger boy too.
LOL the dino scene was adorable
Eric is a great problem solver 😂😂🤣
It looks great! I’d be sure to do a timer and do a 5 minute cleanup once or twice a day for the kids to keep it looking so nice. It worked really well for our play space when my kids (also homeschooled K-12) were little.
Great idea!
We have 5 O'clock Stop at our house. We stop and tidy things up before I make dinner.
I agree it is so important to get your kids involved, as much as their age allows. I had mentioned recently that I had stuff for a donation together and my 20 year old daughter came down with a few things to add. A good habit to have, move things on that you are no longer using. Great job by the family!
I love how your husband said locks. We say that about our kids closets because they mess them up so much.
You need locks for play room,closets, and pantry 😅😅😅
Awesome that the family all got involved.. The responsibility that they all showed was awesome! Plus it's just fun 😊💪
It is definitely more fun together. It has actually be a fun process working with my husband on this. It was almost like a "date" organizing the playroom together.
I only found your channel a couple days ago, and I already appreciate your partnership with your husband (and therefore your whole family). You obviously work well together and support each other through processes like this, even when one of you is taking the lead on a particular project. I so appreciate the two of you just living, demonstrating through the way you exist together and work with each other, that there is a healthier partnership available to couples and families, rather than pushing all of household-running onto one person. There are more equally yoked options, ones that set better examples to our kids. You're proving it. Thank you for that ministry (because I really think it is one).
You guys are doing such a fabulous job! I love how you work together on these projects. The end scene with snapping your fingers at the closet had me LOL'ing. Keep up the great work!!!
Your family is so sweet and so respectful to each other. I love how easily you laugh with each other and give nice compliments to each other.
And, one heck of a great job on the epic declutter. ❤️
Oh my goodness, you and your husband are adorable! My favorite parts of your videos are the side commentary and the jokes - makes me feel like I'm cleaning/organizing alongside a friend. Can't wait until next week's video!
This makes my heart so happy. Thanks for hanging out with us ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love seeing hubby help out in your vifeos
Hello, Shannon! Great job!!! That was a lot of hard work for your family. Just a suggestion: maybe you can ask the kids to place all toys back where they belong before picking up a new toy or set of toys, and as a reward, you can all get more time doing things you love/ fun stuff like a movie or a game instead of spending the time cleaning or tidying up . I always told my son to place all puzzle pieces back in the box before we start a board game, or put balls back in the bin before we play with the cars and vice versa. And so on. This way, there is no clutter to tidy later on and they do add up.
Wonderful transformation! I love that your husband works right there with you! Re: kids: for preschoolers, I think you have to declutter their toys, but school age kids need their own say, along with guidelines and the "container concept" (thx, Dana K. White ).
Awesome job! This just inspired me to get up off the couch and spend an hour in my daughter's nursery!
I’m so enjoying your channel! I love how the whole family participates! I don’t know if you watch Mai Zimmy’s channel, but I think you might like how she boxes up some of her kids toys and puts them away. She’ll rotate boxes so it’s like they get new toys every so often. It also helps keep so much of the clutter contained. Sometimes they’ll lose privileges if they don’t clean up after themselves and toys will disappear until they earn them back. Living With Cambriea does toy declutters before birthdays and Christmas in anticipation of new stuff coming into the house.
We talk a lot about giving toys away when they are not used anymore. Surprisingly they even came with own suggestions about what to give away. Itry to reflect my observations with them: you have not played with this for months, please think about giving it away. It takes time but it sinks in. But your kids did a good job. Make the boundaries the bad guy, that is what the minimal mom always says 😬👍💪
I really liked that this was kind of a family project. Often I see just see the mother do this alone.
Presents: we do wishlists. We discuss with the kids what their wishes are befor an event. The we might add some non-toys options like new colothing. We go for smaller things or we try to stay in one category. Like prefer to get more Legos than a new category. Or we ask for „using-up“ things like bubble bath or craft material. Experiences are also great. My daughter loved to shop with her godmother for a new dress.
My mum had a one-in-one-out policy when it came to stuffed animals (with a few exceptions here and there), which I'm really grateful for as it taught me to easily declutter sentimental items (as, like any child, I *adored* my plushies) and replace them with new items that I love. That's how we kept our toys to a minimal.
Great idea!
When you do something you really don’t want to do, it’s pizza for dinner. I don’t make the rules
I think this is a fantastic rule to live by. 😂
Love dad helping and putting the matchbox cars in order
Love this!!!! You are killing this! Love!!! When i decluttered our playroom, my kids played so much more!! The less they have, the more creative! Now i am extremely picky about what i let in, and am diligent about keeping it in order. Fantastic Job!!
It feels so good. I love how We just want to hang out in there now. I am really hoping we can keep it up!
I just found you. I find it so nice to see your husband helping. Literally everything to do with the kids is my responsibility. I don't think my partner ever tidied up their toys, or bought one for them. I had to laugh at you guys pulling the carpet out from the sofa 😁
Love it! Cut some pool noodles in half and put them between the couch and the floor to stop more bits getting under there.
Thank you for sharing . Less toys is always better. 👍. Great work 🌸
You both have adorable children Eric is a heartthrob he will be a neat teenager as he loves to help clean
Kudos Shanon! That was a tough one! I found that when children have less they play more intentionally otherwise it just is dump and go! Lol I can’t lie I pretty happy to be done with the sorting toys part Of my life, it’s exhausting 🤪 My son is 33 now! Oh but wait I forgot I have 3 or 4 bins of stars wars collectibles in my attic of his 😜 Apparently it never ends.
I agree completely!
We do a BIG playroom clean out every November. Our kids now know that Santa can’t bring new toys if there’s no room. The toys they don’t play with go to Goodwill for another child to enjoy 😉
My niece has twins and she INSISTS that for all birthdays and christmas she will do an Amazon wishlist and once that is empty she asks for cash for their college fund. She is TOUGH and I've seen her return gifts and even refuse gifts from people that wont respect her decision. Its brutal and has caused some family tensions but she will not go through what you just faced, it saps her joy! ❤
I love that you’re teaching the kiddos to honor and respect the home they are blessed to live in.
You’re doing so good! It’s much harder to declutter with kids, but you’re learning them a lifeskill and you’ll reap the benefits in the future!
Oh my gosh! I was thinking about those toy labels right before you mentioned it!! 😬😂
Can’t wait for the next part of this series 🤩
I am planning on fixing the label. They won't stop staring at me. 😂
I think I'd tell the kids 'if you don't put it away after you've finished playing with I'll collect it up and sell it, or donate it to a child who will look after it'. They really don't need so many toys, it is wasteful and mostly plastic which is not good. Go minimal and feel the freedom. Good luck. 😊
Great job! Giving control over toy choices was so smart, they will be less likely to miss something they chose to donate. You are really getting down to the end now.
Lol I'm 28 and I'm still obsessed with stuffed animals. It was always my thing even growing up.
I'm glad you kept the disco light it! It was still working strong!
#toystory no toy left behind also #beautiful amazing Mama 👍💕🥰
Fantastic job by the whole family! Donate that Bless this Mess sign, it doesn’t apply any more. Bless this clean organized area is more like it!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoy your videos...”real people”. Decluttering videos are so inspiring and as I declutter my own stuff, I am rethinking gift giving. I don’t have children so I never experienced the influx of toys into my home, but I am an Aunt and unfortunately have participated in the influx😞 of toys into my sister’s home. Living and learning! I did want to suggest that you place a “donate box” in your play room to encourage your children to continue to get rid of items they no longer want. I have to give credit to a “Hoarder’s Heart” for that recommendation. She has videos of her boys helping declutter their rooms. Children definitely seem to know what they want and what they don’t want. Great life lessons.
My kids always LOVED their stuffed animals. There were soooo many🤪
I don't remember being like that with stuffed animals when I was little, but they have a special place in my kiddos' hearts
I am so glad that you had the children help. I love that! They did a great job!
Amazing transformation, your family did a wonderful job
You've got a great husband. My husband helps clean too and it's such a blessing
"The snap's not working!" 😆
I’m new to your channel and appreciate you sharing your thought process along with the action. One suggestion for keeping it clean - add pictures to the front of your labeled cubbies. You can print clip art or cut pictures from a magazine or toy packaging and affix with clear packing tape or contact paper. OR use card stock or glue to cardboard and attach with sticky-backed Velcro to make it even easier when you need to change the label. I know some of us like more uniformity and less visual clutter, but the visual clues can really help kids find and put away their toys. Thanks again!
Currently binging your decluttering series loving it, I changed from a dyson animal to a shark pet and never looked back, it’s much better
Welcome! Yes, I have a shark on my wishlist. My corded vacuum is 10 years old so when it is done I’m replacing with a shark
It’s so nice that your hubby works right along with you. When it comes to cleaning and organizing inside the house I won’t let mine help, I’m too picky 😂
Haha, I have to release my pickiness... I want the help more than I want it done "right," The only exception is towels I have to fold the towels. I cringe and have to redo everytime he does those.
Wow! Those kids are doing great letting go!!!!
Right, I was so impressed! They were ready to have a tidy room to play in.
You two make a fab team!! 😀
Well done kids for helping 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg.. love. Did the kids go through what you were going to store for 3 months also? I recommend that every time they got a new toy then they donate 1 or 2 old toys.
I think that’s what I’m going to try. Do the one in one out. When new stuff comes in. I think that will help them think about if the new stuff is worth getting or not.
Loved watching you work through the label sizing thing. I know it's a small thing, but it really is inspiring and helpful to remember to let some things go!
For incoming gifts, I’ve gotten very clear with wish lists. I email specific items to the grandparents and include a note that if they want to get something not on the list they have to ask first as we have limited space. The first item they gave us that wasn’t on the list stayed at their house to be played with there. Ideally I’m able to keep the items to consumables that I know the kids will use up, e.g. play-doh or paint, so we don’t actually acquire more, but maintain.
Also, we’ve started a tradition with my daughter and mother-in-law. For my daughter’s birthday she does a clothes shopping trip with her Nonna. Nonna gets to buy cute clothes, which she loves; my daughter gets to pick out her own clothes, which she prefers; and I spend less money on clothes because my daughter keeps growing and needing new things. It’s a win/win/win.
I love these non-toy suggestions. I have a homeschool wishlist that is ever growing. I try and send that to grandparents so they can help with supplies and fun activities for the kids (that gets expensive with homeschool). Sometimes they listen sometimes they don't 😂
Great conclusion!" If it sparks joy, keep it"
Family wins when you work together
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Loved the vlog well done all of you and thank you for the fun ♥️🤗🙏
Ahhh I’ve been waiting for this room transformation!!! Got my coffee and now I watch 💜
I bought each of my kids a bean bag cover that is made specifically for stuffed animals. That is the boundary we have set for them. You can find them on Amazon.
I’ve seen those! I’ve thought about doing that and wondered how practical they were. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you! Great job!
As always yall are awesome
You did great!!!! I have two daughters. I regret soooo much letting my kids have more toys than they needed and having big birthday parties every year for them because they don't even remember the parties .My advice for you is to limit the number of toys they can have, have small bday parties and save the money for college. Believe me, you're gonna need it.
This is such great advice. We already don't do big birthday parties (just family gatherings) and it still is too much 😂 We use to live in scarcity and now we live in plenty, but that scarcity mindset stuck around and hurt us by us collecting an overwhelming amount of stuff (especially clothes and toys.) I never said no to hand-me downs and still struggle with that. I don't even want to think about what college is going to cost... yeeeesh!
The dinosaur and the snapping at the end made my morning. Good job. Looks great
Wow, what a transformation! ❤ Well done!
You and hubby make a great team, but all the kids and you and hubby make an extra great team. I've often wondered, not having kiddies myself, how parents can possibly stop the inflow of products through gifts. Everyone feels they ought to give gifts to kiddies - grandparents would be hurt not to in some cases - and it seems impolite to demand everyone stop. It's certainly a modern day dilemma for mums and dads.
Looks great!!!!! Amazing!!!!
I love the party light. Go to the auto supply store and get some of the red and orange tape that is used to fix taillights. Use it to cover the blanks. Or on Amazon search for “light gel sheets”.
Oh nice! I will look into that. Thanks.
It was fun to see your kids helping and all of you making it fun
Love your videos! So motivating and fast pace. Glad I found your channel 🥰 great job! 😄
🤣🤣🤣You made me laugh so hard with the missing body of Mrs. Potato Head!!! Thanks for all the motivation videos you made, love them all!!! Take care of yourself and your family!!!! Wish you all, love health, happiness and wealth always!!!
This was one of my favorite declutter videos and probably the most work too 😂
Loving this. Amazing inspiration and motivation ♡♡
Looks great!! ❤️🙌‼️❤️🙌‼️❤️🙌‼️❤️🙌‼️❤️🙌‼️❤️
My kids had to purge the spring break week and then again before school started. They are all adults now and they’ve carried it into their home. None have kiddos yet. They even got their better half’s into doing it with them!
Excellent job done! You should be proud of yourselves! ❤️
Awesome job!😀
Job well done to all of you👏👏👏👏
Newbie here ...loved that your children wanted to help...and was hoping mrs Potato head was under the couch! 😂 must go now have to watch your other videos! 🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕jane
Mrs. Potato Head is still MIA, Lol. Thanks for hanging out with me today!
You have a beautiful home. Great job!
Great job guys!! ❤️🙌🏽
WOW! Everyone did such a great job!! Totally felt you about the labels! 💜😉💜
i've been anxiously waiting for this! nice team work guys.
Thanks for hanging out with us!
Amazing and motivating! Thank you
The labeling of the bins I would change to the bigger font size...easier to read and put back in the correct bin. You are doing an awesome job. Maybe before Christmas go thru the playroom and donate a bunch of toys to be ready for the new Christmas toys.
So cute!
Wow! You are amazing!!!💗
I am so proud of you!!!
That was a big job. Nice work.
noticed the different sizes in the labels too. I totally relate!!
You and your hubs are adorable together ♡ love ur videos, and how hilarious are xoxo
I love your videos! Highlight of my Mondays! So refreshing to have someone honest about their messy rooms, you have been very inspiring to me! And you are so naturally funny! Love to you and you adorable family! Keep up the great work! 💖
Thanks Trisha ❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a grandma instead of sending toys for birthday and even Christmas I opened a bank account and what ever I would have spent on toys I put into their accounts . I also give them all a few small useable gifts at Christmas . One child now has over 5,000 from just doing that . other family members have started to do it .. the kids are excited about the $ .. I tell them they don't get it till they are 30 (lol) .. toy would have been long gone .. Now I even take the kids to the bank and they get to put the money in . or I give them a card with the deposit slip and the total amount .
Might not have kiddos, but my dog loooooves stuffed animals. She has a BarkBox subscription for every month. I have laundry baskets filled at this point. She plays with every one. It doesn’t help that they make so many cute ones that I’m now addicted to seeing her play with a cool one i see at the store.
How do you like the bark box. I have 3 puppies, do you think they could share one box?
@@LeafLikeOnATree yes, make sure you sign up when they have the promo, the extra toy and an extra treat in ALL your boxes for the year. Then you get 3 toys and 3 treats in every box.
Not the extra toys/ treats in 1 month, the promo better then that.
Ive been getting it for over a year and the toys are the best! Well made. You can also put in your pet allergies and they will adjust the treats.
Well worth the price.
Since she has so many toys when we get the box and i notice a toy that might not excite her in it, i sell those on ebay and they always sell, helps with the cost. She loves the interactive toys and there’s so many hilarious ones.
Ill comment if i see the promo happening
🙋🏻♀️ New subscriber. I’ve been binge watching your declutter videos. I just had to laugh when I saw your hairbrush and makeup brush.
Your vacuum collection is impressive😝
I knew you would keep the light when uou decided to turn it on😂
My kids only got one big basket of toys at a time. I kept the rest locked up. They could switch out when they got bored but you'd be surprised how long they could play with one basket.
What a transformation 🤗
Thanks Elizabeth!
Excellent
amazing work wow
Looks fantastic 👍
Just a little hint, I had 3 children in a very, very small house, so it was almost impossible to stay on top of the "mess" lol. So I decided that the kids needed to have the responsibility of their own mess, each night, 10 minutes before bed time I would tell them, whatever is not put away in its right place, it would be in the bin when they woke up in the morning. It worked after a few days of missing toys in their rooms lol.
We might have to try this. We just have to commit to the follow through. That's where we have failed in the past.
@@LeafLikeOnATree
All you can do is try.. I'm an oldie and I realised with children you have to be consistent or they will wear you down lol.. Good luck 👍
Great job!!! 😊❤🐦
Once you turned on the party light for one last spin, I knew that awesome disco ball wasn't going anywhere!
Can't get rid of something that sparks that much joy. 😍
I think you guys are perfectly normal to “occasionally” just grab something and put it in another room while decluttering. We have all done that. It’s OK! You guys and your girls should be so happy with yourselves and now they can truly enjoy their space. Our rule…when it got to that stage… “new toy in…old toy out”. You just have to cuz it’s never ending!
What the he#*! Your fingers were broken! 🤣😂 Awesome job! 🥰 Karen
Great Job Family 🌻😊💕
Thank you 🤗
