I remember how painful it was for me to do this too. I dedicated an entire day to do it, and I was literally crying through the whole process, but I felt so calm and content afterwards. I donated them all, and I was happy that all of these toys were going to bring joy to another little kid. When it was all done, I felt ready for a fresh start, a new life that didn't include baby puzzles and tummy time toys. Our family felt complete. AND 6 DAYS LATER I HAD A POSITIVE PREGNANCY TEST IN MY HANDS.
I'm disabled and struggle to do any housework at the best of times but watching your videos are something else because your enthusiasm is infectious :) thank you x
I love your videos and your gentle voice when you record. I also wish I was your next door neighbor and get some toys for my nine months son. Toys are so expensive in Kenya and never on the budget hahaha.
It takes a lot of guts to part with things with lots of memories! My mum has to get rid of four kids worth of toys. She did keep a single box of the best baby/kids toys for her grandchildren. My son has loved playing with the toys I played with, and it’s so nostalgic to see them again 💕 so don’t feel bad for what you keep too
Thanks for the inspiration , it was a cold and rainy Saturday here so the kids and I decluttered 100 things around the house. Was great to do and will def be decluttering the garage next !
I just told my 17yr old she needs to get rid of some stuff and she said “I can’t get rid of the soft toys because of their little faces”. I’ve got my work cut out I think! Loving Matt’s Kermit impression 😉 🐸
Yeah stuffed toys are the hardest lol when i have kids im not lettinf them watch toy story or theyll feel guilty and never be able to give them away haha.
You might try unstuffing the soft toys....look for the seem on the back...open the seem then pull out the stuffing. Then you have what the stuffed animal plush industry call : skin. The skins are shipped to local manufacturers who then stuff the animals....like the Build A Bear shop or other manufacture. Skins minus the stuffing saves shipping costs. Also the large plush stuffed animals can be unstuffed for moving then restuffed at your new home where Walmart, JoAnn Fabrics, Michaels or any sewing shop have the polyfill stuffing. A bag of polyfill stuffing costs about 3 to 5 dollars. If soft plush stuffed animals are donated to one of the major charity shops and are not sold, then the plush stuffed animals are bundled on a pallet and sold to a recycler who shreds them into small pieces for the manufacture of under carpet padding. Several You Tube videos on what charity shop do with the clothes and toys that they can not sell ....see recycling.
Well done Emily!! It's so hard having to get rid of those memorable things. I held on to my kids things for way too long and it "hurts" getting rid of them but thankfully once they're gone, they're gone and it's such a blessing knowing another baby/child/parent is going to get just as much joy out of it😊... I look at it as "spreading the love/joy" X
Hey i dun think yu shud giv away the rainbow ark.. Its a special gift yu could keep it as a decorative in his room and he can maybe pass it dwn to his brothers kids or maybe his own kids one day
After watching this I can safely say I thoroughly enjoyed it.... Love how you and Matt bounce off one another.... "do some squats!" lol I get sentimental with toys too! Don't think I've ever found a funny, sad AND motivational video all in one!! Xx
Yes Emily!! Love the idea of this challenge!! I think I already did my 100 things in this morning's video of my wardrobe because there was so.much.stuff!! I definitely thought you were going for the BBQ when you said you would be so sad to say goodbye 🤣🤣 really enjoyed this as always xx
Thanks so much as always for your videos. I am going to try this challenge next week and do it every so often until I get to a place where I don’t feel so cluttered!
Looooooved how real this was, the conversations had me laughing bahahaha and i will love yo join in, how do we go about it to show our piles? Maybe u need to do a declutter challenge video and have people send their photos or something like that... lots of fun!!!
Wow Emily you did amazing with your purging well done you. Can't believe you did a whole house in an hour!! Great job I need to do that but when I'm home alone as my husband won't part with anything & neither will the kids 😊
I love Matt's verbal support, very funny!! Emily, I just took 5 13 gallon bags to Goodwill, so I guess I did your challenge. Unfortunately, I have that much, still, to go.
I know I would leave everything on the lawn ! Did u get rid straight away ... great idea ! Well done ! Bet Matt was tired with all that lifting still provided us with vocal entertainment ! X
Getting rid of 100 items once a month it is then! :) thanks for all the inspiration and motivation you are channelling through, to all of us out here x
I’m going to be sad when it’s time to get rid of baby stuff too. I’ve saved everything from my first for our second we’re expecting currently. Great declutter, I feel like it would take me WAY longer than it took you!
Matt is ruthless, sounds like my husband, we are doing tip run this weekend, getting rid of the moses basket as we can't donate it anywhere and don't know anyone having a baby soon 😭
Em!!!! you can still grow the flowers by putting them in water and it should grow roots in weeks. Probably try planting them in Fraser's toy box! Anyway, well done on decluttering and giving these lovely things a new home. :)
You can either sell the printer or donate it to a charity shop that takes electrical. Not all do so you will need to ask your local charity shops if they do as online ones with a pat tester can take electrical items.
Hi Emily, I am a new mommy pinay (philippines) youtuber. And I tried this challenge on my youtube channel :) and I enjoyed it a lot.. I am one of your aubscriber and really love watching your vlogs 💖
I could probably clear out 100 skincare products that I don’t actually use! I review them and, unless they get added to my daily routine, they just get stuck in my skincare draws. Perhaps I should set myself this task next weekend? ❤️😎
We have that car garage. I also don’t want to part with it. pS still can’t believe Jackson is 3😭 glad my own 3rd is due in February...not ready for end of babies. that’s said, the puts me in the mood to Purge to make room for baby 3

Wohoooo .... Congrats
@@nehamishra5165 thanks! This happened almost 2 years ago, she turned one in July! We bought new baby puzzles :)
Oh no whooops to soon
I'm disabled and struggle to do any housework at the best of times but watching your videos are something else because your enthusiasm is infectious :) thank you x
love this idea. it's amazing how many things we can immediately get rid of in our homes. Well done Emily!!!
I DID IT!!!! Whooo hooo! It feels good to declutter. You and Matt did a fantastic job as always.😊
I love your videos and your gentle voice when you record. I also wish I was your next door neighbor and get some toys for my nine months son. Toys are so expensive in Kenya and never on the budget hahaha.

This is a nice idea! I may just have to store some of them! Thank you so much for watching xx
I love how REAL this video is!
My favorite part about this video is the conversation back and forth! So funny!! 😂
I know Matt thinks he's funny a little too much in this one! Thank you so much for watching xx
I’m definitely doing this!!! Well done Emily 💪🏻
Nic vedio and thanks to realize that declutttery is very important in life
Emily you are given the wildest ideas! My head is racing as to what I could clear, just to get to 100 things! Love this idea
I bet you feel so much better emily!
I love this challenge im going to do it maybe this weekend or next!
Yes it did feel good. May have to be a monthly thing now! Thank you so much for watching Becca xx
I love videos like this, they're really helpful.

You could keep the plush stuffed animal skins in a box for your kid to enjoy that cute face in the future. Love watching your videos.
Oh my god I am cracking up laughing at Matt slagging you! This is the exact way that me and my partner would be if we did this! Brilliant video!
Haha yes he thinks he's funny! Thank you so much for watching xx
Wow! Great thought
Cannot wait to challange myself as well
So much inspiration emily.....💜
Cracked up when you found a google home in the toy box and when Matt was riveted by your story about the wedding shoe protectors! Great vid!

Your my favourite RUclipsr love your vlogs. Love your cleaning vlogs and decluttering ones too. X
I love it.
I just went on and donated 100 items because of this video. Thank you for your inspiration. 🥰
Love the music you use for this video! It really compliments it so well!
Love you Emily I am only ten and i barely use any hacks but I like watching them do you remember keep going❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😻😻😻
You go guys minimalising life incoming. Hopefully I get round doing it too. I'm guessing none of the boys are here 😊.
Hey i dun think yu shud giv away the rainbow ark.. Its a special gift yu could keep it as a decorative in his room and he can maybe pass it dwn to his brothers kids or maybe his own kids one day
Won't get a chance to watching this for about an hour, but have already bounced on quickly to give a thumbs up!!!! I know il just love this!! Xx
After watching this I can safely say I thoroughly enjoyed it.... Love how you and Matt bounce off one another.... "do some squats!" lol I get sentimental with toys too! Don't think I've ever found a funny, sad AND motivational video all in one!! Xx
Yes Emily!! Love the idea of this challenge!! I think I already did my 100 things in this morning's video of my wardrobe because there was so.much.stuff!! I definitely thought you were going for the BBQ when you said you would be so sad to say goodbye 🤣🤣 really enjoyed this as always xx
I absolutely loved this video. You r so cute with matt.

Love this idea. I don't have a family so it would all be my stuff but it's tempting to try
Love this! It has totally inspired me to have a clear out 👍
Notification gang yayyy! Here for it
Wow Emily you did amazing with your purging well done you. Can't believe you did a whole house in an hour!! Great job I need to do that but when I'm home alone as my husband won't part with anything & neither will the kids 😊
I love Matt's verbal support, very funny!! Emily, I just took 5 13 gallon bags to Goodwill, so I guess I did your challenge. Unfortunately, I have that much, still, to go.
this was a great video!!!! funny you doing it together!!! feel inspired now!!
I know I would leave everything on the lawn ! Did u get rid straight away ... great idea ! Well done ! Bet Matt was tired with all that lifting still provided us with vocal entertainment ! X
So satisfying to watch!
This has inspired me to try to get rid of 100 things we are trying very hard to de clutter I think this challenge will help get us started
It's time for me to clear my children's toddler toys too, both of them are nine and seven now 😂
Getting rid of 100 items once a month it is then! :) thanks for all the inspiration and motivation you are channelling through, to all of us out here x
I like the conversation between you and Matt! 😂😂
Inspiring challenge! I know what I’m doing this afternoon!
Loved this video Emily! Definitely going to do this 😊
You should put some of your clothes on depop. Recon you’ll get more than on eBay with all your followers buying stuff.
Yes this is something I have considered! Thank you so much for watching xx
I’m going to be sad when it’s time to get rid of baby stuff too. I’ve saved everything from my first for our second we’re expecting currently. Great declutter, I feel like it would take me WAY longer than it took you!
Matt is ruthless, sounds like my husband, we are doing tip run this weekend, getting rid of the moses basket as we can't donate it anywhere and don't know anyone having a baby soon 😭
Loved this! Inspired me to have a go! xx
Hi Emily love your video
I did clothes declutter this week. Feel good😄
Oh my when you were pulling the stuff out of Caleb's dresser 😂 I was not expecting that much stuff to be in that small looking toy box 🙂
I clicked so fast btw love ya ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What s great challenge, I will soon be doing this! Matt saying: Have you got any more stories like that?? 😂
I love decluttering challenges!!!
Great idea, i'm going to try it .
Em!!!! you can still grow the flowers by putting them in water and it should grow roots in weeks. Probably try planting them in Fraser's toy box! Anyway, well done on decluttering and giving these lovely things a new home. :)
Loved this might have to join in on the challenge and film this myself. I love your new challenges hun 💕
Woow matt is a good guy 👍👍👍 i don't like ask my hubby to help me when I want to give a way things goes he want to keep them 😃 😃
You can either sell the printer or donate it to a charity shop that takes electrical. Not all do so you will need to ask your local charity shops if they do as online ones with a pat tester can take electrical items.
I love your house
Love the editing! Great job :)
I’m definitely going to do this !!, maybe 50 items from attic and then see how I do!!. Another great video idea Emily !!.x
Our attic is next Olivia! good luck! Thank you so much for watching xx
I love cleaning videos 👏👏👏👏👏
I love this idea! I will definitely be doing this very soon!
Love it, I need to do this xx
If there’s a hospital nearby with a children’s ward, I’m sure they’d appreciate the toys x
I am starting today. Inspired by Emily. But since I don't have an hour I decluttered one part of one room about ten items a day.
I be doing this on the weekend lol I beg I got more than 100 items
Haha good luck Rani! Thank you so much for watching xx
I know I would find this to do easy meaning I could get 100+ so why can't I make myself do it. Damn being so sentimental!! Great video x
You inspired me to have a de clutter and I found 73 items!!
I need to do this!
How about a Pre Holiday Clean Up? Like before you go away on holiday (not the holidays).
Hi Emily you are so inspiring and the boys are so cute.xx
Really motivating video Emily! Would love to do this before my twins arrive next month but might have to put it off till after Xmas 😬 xx
Do they even sell the garage anymore. I've 3 little people at home who would love it. X
Where the toy garage from? Which brand? Thank you 😊
This was so funny. I wonder if I can find 100 things to get rid off
WOW! Inspirational but the Google home? 🤣
Great job
Hands down my favourite video of yours!! So funny! Google home 😂
Where did you get the bookcase?
Love this idea!!! So gonna give this ago- i need a good de clutter xx
Where did you get the green polka dot dress you're wearing ? 😍

I love how Matt is the voice of reason 😂
“Potty” your Canadian is coming out! Lol ❤️ a fellow Canadian
Loved this video, so well done!! Ps love your dress, where is it from? ❤
Amazing video Emily
If I was to do this challenge, honestly, I'd have nothing left in my house! I find it far to easy to get rid of things! 😂
@emilynorris where is the ark boat from meaning to get one for my toddler who is also called jackson😂😂
Any unopened beauty products donate to a women's shelter. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Hi Emily, I am a new mommy pinay (philippines) youtuber. And I tried this challenge on my youtube channel :) and I enjoyed it a lot.. I am one of your aubscriber and really love watching your vlogs 💖
I could probably clear out 100 skincare products that I don’t actually use! I review them and, unless they get added to my daily routine, they just get stuck in my skincare draws. Perhaps I should set myself this task next weekend? ❤️😎
love you and your fam xxxxxx
