Oh my Gosh, thank you Nikki for sharing my comment.❤ I've got tears of JOY! And even a special appearnce from your hubby!! I'm just on cloud nine!😊 And every word was true. God bless you and your family. Also I'd like to mention I started laughing way to hard when you were referring about your washer and dryer "that's mine not yours" because i actually was getting up to check mine and did a double take😅😅 Our family calls it the "Spongebob" washer and dryer due to that funny little tune it makes. Anyways I won't take anymore of your time but seriously Thank you again Nikki😊❤
Janell’s beautifully written sentiments were exactly what I feel. I was telling my husband about my friend who was decluttering her home and the planner I was ordering. He knew who I was talking about. Loved seeing Jorge! Made me laugh out loud. I’m decluttering along with you, but I’m in a RV. We sold our home of 22 years (talk about decluttering!) and moved into a large RV in October of 2023. Yes, I still need to declutter. I’m learning slowly how to find a place for everything. lol! Thank you again for being my friend. ❤
Hi Nikki, Tomorrow, I will go through the ornaments as the kids clear off our little tree. We have wreaths for our windows, tiny trees for our porch and that’s about all for our Christmas decor. I enjoy our year round decor so much more than Christmas so I am glad our young adults are home from another getaway and available to help me. Julie 🌷
I always decorated for Christmas, but many years ago I felt a calling to let it go. My Winter decorating is down to only a beautiful wreath which I changed to a Eucalyptus one right before 2024. I feel liberated & happy with this decision. My Christmas budget is now being used for fresh cut Flowers instead which is so exciting!. Have a beautiful day Nikki. Can't wait to see what else you have store for us this Year. Be blessed 🙏🙌
I thought the hard part was letting it go, but as it turns out explaining to others why I quit Christmas decorating is harder. FYI: I apologize for sending you guys a glittery card...I also hate Glitter. Not sure what I was thinking with that Card choice 🤷♀️This year is the last year I sent out any Christmas Cards. I suppose I could have made one, but I literally had no energy and I wanted to send you guys a mood lifter. Craziest thing is that I bought a box of Cards almost identical to the one you showed in this video and now it's sitting pretty in the local Goodwill. So much for that sale...
Over the years, I have evolved Christmas decorating to winter decorating. I have special Christmas decorations that have survived the years. They are displayed for a period of time and then put away. In decluttering each holiday, too many were found to be the result of impulse buying. And truthfully, wanting to try something different for the sake of change. My decorating is more pleasurable now because it’s less work, yet the beauty of it remains. And frankly, I am a less is more kind of woman. With less , I can see things individually,rather than in clusters. In donating, I am blessed by the removal of items from our home, while hopefully , adding a blessing to others. Decluttering has become a part of my homemaking. My husband and I go to lunch and then he helps me to drop off the donations. Win/win. A date and help with the heavier items. Clever, don’t you think? 😉 Happy new year to all!
Each year I get rid of a little more Christmas decor...usually before the holidays. Some decorations were inherited, but I've never used them. Now is a good time to get rid of a little more, and get some space. Also get rid of a hard to open bin.
It is so efficient to declutter the seasonal decorations right after the proper season. Our Goodwill and Saint Vincent de Paul will not accept Christmas decor right after Christmas, however. Or autumn decor right after Thanksgiving. They just throw them away. So, all of my seasonal decor goes into a box that I label with "Take to donate in October", and I store it in the garage till next October. They are happy to take these things then, because that's when many people are shopping for Christmas decor.
Thank you Nikki I say that alot but I love the way you share your heart with all of us who watch your videos you are a friend to me anyway even if it's online.
9:00 thank u for helping me feel normal. i buy cards n never send them out almost every year 😢 then i feel guilty... i feel better knowing i am not alone now.. ... and oh how lovely would that card would be painted by u ...yes it looks like your fireplace n tree placement from a year ago... hope u buy the gas log insert to "try" my husband said no way he wanted to hear the crackel n pop of the wood n smell the wood...then we found one that has sounds of crackel n pop ...n we burn a candle that has the fireplace smell ....we use it more often now....and i do not have to clean any ashes anymore yiiippee a win win
Hi Nikki what a very nice message. It's amazing how much we accumulate with Christmas decorations. I need to go through mine and donate. Thanks Nikki another inspiring video. It was nice seeing your husband for a second. Thanks Nikki❤❤
I just purchased your life book in blushing and I am so excited to receive and start using it! Now all I need is a beautiful new pen to pair with it. 🌸
O seu método me ajudou muito! Já havia tentado outros, mas o seu foi o que mais se encaixou comigo. Andava estressada e seguindo o seu método me senti bem melhor e menos sobrecarregada! ❤
Hi Nikki, thank you for the inspiration , I'm getting ready to put my Christmas ornaments away. I think that I will do what you did and be donating a lot of stuff that I really don't want anymore. THank you for your great ideas. They are really helping me, by the way ,could you please tell me where you got your pretty ballet slippers that you wear around the house, they look very comfortable .

That’s so nice to know and thank you! Congratulations on downsizing so much, that’s so freeing I’m sure!

I love that you were able to do that, it must feel so nice!

I really appreciate this and it’s so beautifully written, Linda. It may just need to be highlighted 🌹

That's a great idea! When we can really simplify, it makes so many other things feel like less of a burden.
It is so efficient to declutter the seasonal decorations right after the proper season. Our Goodwill and Saint Vincent de Paul will not accept Christmas decor right after Christmas, however.

I never thought of that, great point!
Good to know. I will do the same. Thank you for posting this.
