I tried on every single pair of jeans and shorts I own. Over 100 pants and shorts. Also all my bras. I have lost 93 pounds and have went from a 22 down to a 12. I just kept hanging on to stuff out of fear I would get big again. It was so freeing to let stuff go. After I did that I have moved on to other areas. The garage is next!
Something that has really helped me minimize my clutter collection - before I buy something, I think “what would you DO with this” so if it’s “cute” or whatever but doesn’t actually DO or GO anywhere, I just say “oooo, aahhhh” and move on. Like the coke bottle, great example. If someone said “what are you going to DO with that?” you’d be like …… sit it on a shelf? Like, no. Don’t need it 😂
I will be cleaning things out this August as I am getting a new mattress, a bed in a box. My big project for the early Fall is finally replacing my old carpet with new wood look like flooring. So excited.
Your office space is laarger than my master bedroom!! I know how hard it is to get rid of stuff. I can't get rid of my scrapbookiing stuff either. I know when I retire I will start up again.
Wow! Kudos to you! I'm in the middle of doing my bedroom and am having a really hard time letting go of things. Im definitely failing at the OHIO method (only handle it once) lol. I toss things from place to place and then in a pile in the corner of my room, where it has been for like two weeks now. I keep telling myself at least I started. God bless you! I know how hard it is. I'm waiting to clear my head too. I could only imagine how good that feels!❣️
Thank you for this! I decluttered my kitchen a few weeks ago and it was a lot of work but I’m so happy with how it came out. It’s so much easier to find everything now 🎉
I love the room you have to your self! And great idea to get a trailer to just haul the stuff away. The town I live in provides dump bins every spring and fall and we totally take advantage of it. Amazing what accumulates over time. Great video and yes it feels so good to get rid of stuff and clear your mind. Just to do it is hard but once it is done it feels so good. 🥰
When I was in my 40's I did lots of scrapbooking, cross stitch and knitting. Now that I'm in my 50's, my eyes have changed so much that I can not do those things any longer, so I have decluttered all that stuff, unfortunately. Something to consider.
What’s really funny we’re getting a dumpster too! I have a lot of Amazon boxes and other crap filling the garage it has to go! Hurricane season starts June 1 and it’s just time to go through stuff and get rid of it.
decluttering is the worst! It has to be done and I know I procrastinate all of the time but it does feel amazing when you achieve what you set out to do! The area looks great! It's nice that you are able to zone different areas of the room! thanks for sharing! xoxo
It’s amazing how we’ve become a society of “Stuff”. I’m decluttering too. The more stuff, it’s more work and stress. I’m a couponer so I’m in the process of getting ready for our subdivisions May garage sale and donations to community organizations.
Jen this is such a huge undertaking wow!!! Soooo happy to see your vid- comin in clutch right after work.. and before job 2 (that’s what I call ‘the mom job’ after work 😂)
It’s identity clutter, fantasy self etc. I’m not ready to get rid of the scrapbooking stuff either, but i don’t see myself ever really doing it again, like I almost feel like it was a phase.
I have attempted to start decluttering. So far it ended in 20 bags of my son's clothes being donated. All that didn't fit. Now I feel anxiety every time he goes shopping without me
Not sure if you like black tea but at Starbucks I get the black tea no extra water sugar free vanilla and a splash of half and half iced. It's so good and lower in calories and sugar.
Jen, I’m motivated quite often. Just yesterday I tossed some pots and pans that I rarely use. I donated a huge bag of baking pans to Goodwill. It seems like although tons of stuff is going, I still don’t have much room. Of course it didn’t help seeing your office, which is about the size of my entire house😄. I have no excuse though, my children are grown, and I’m retired. I’ll just keep at it!
I need to clean out my closet so bad! However I am scared...LoL! It will totally explode all over the bedroom, I won't have a bed to sleep in for all the crap on it! I know I just gotta do it.... some day!!! Love and hugs from Texas 💕
Mary Ellen from Planning with Bumble started out as a scrapbooker in the 90s. She's my fave planner! Did you meet her at Go Wild? Did you vlog at Go Wild?
I've watched a lot of different RUclipsr's declutter different areas of their homes, but yours has to be my favorite because you're so real and genuine. Please don't ever change.
We are crafting sisters lol! I did the same scrapbooking obsessed! Remember 2 Peas in a Pod? Were you on that site? I also did tons of cross stitch and still have bins of supplies. You are inspiring me to purge!!
I can totally relate with your craft room😁 When you mentioned cross stitch and showed stuff on the top shelf, did I spot some stampin up ribbon? And some stampin up ink pads? 😁 I so need to go through my supplies. You’re a great inspiration 🥰🥰
Ty for sharing, I want to do a big declutter soon, inlaws coming for the first time since 2018 lol I've been making pita pizza since the 80s...ugh so old but my mom got a "recipe" when I was young. Cottage cheese and spices then mushrooms or whatever veg you like and cheese on top so good
I can’t stand my home to be cluttered, so I clean things out on a regular basis. I have a small condo and only 4 small closets, so I can’t hang onto too much stuff.
Do you have any advice on decluttering kids bedroom The kids are 4 and 5 my wife is thinking of tipping the kids mattress to check under their bunk bed she wants to get rid of the bunk bed
Thank you for the decluttering motivation. I recently started and I have oodles of clothes to sell. I’ve never sold before in Poshmark so I have been delaying the process. Maybe you could do a video on posting on Poshmark for us newbie sellers! Also, love your new look (sans glasses), you’re so glamorous!
Some items in the garage, rusted or broken furniture, etc are not suitable for donation. I don't want to donate things to Goodwill that are in bad repair, I feel like that is rude.
I just moved a 10x20 storage unit into a 1 bedroom. I am still unpacking after almost 2 months . I am disabled so it's taking me a long time. Plus the mental and emotional getting rid of stuff that you spent your hard earned money on plus the memories created with some of the stuff. I just have to try to do a little a day to get it done. Still have to purge more. I know I can't take it with in the end, so it's time to down size it.
Yes Olaplex has made a big difference with my hair too. Your hair has looked so pretty the last several videos ❤ I need to experiment more with Avocado, cheese, egg toast. Everyone needs a pink and a turquoise typewriter 😅 Wow you were a scrapbooking queen. I’m so impressed ❤
I hear you on the scrapbook supplies...I was an avid scrapbook er from 1997 to 2009 when my son was diagnosed with leukemia. After he passed away, I found it very hard to even look at past photos, let alone scrapbook. During that same time my cousin and his wife divorced, and she was my scrapbooking buddy...maybe I'll pick it up again someday. Until then, I still make handmade cards.
Hi Jen, great video. I tried to make Air Fryer Chis and they just never turned out good. I love the idea of False Eyelashes. They were a big fashion statement in the 1960’s I was a pre-teen so I wasn’t allowed to wear make up. By the time my Mom would let me wear makeup it was 1970 and False Eye Lashes were out of style and girls were using mascara. I just organized my home office lately. I bought a really cool desk lamp from Lowe’s. Originally I thought about getting rid of the desk and making that room a guest room and new room for future cats. I recently got a new printer that prints from my iPhone or iPad. I decided I really love my desk and decided to keep it. So I am in love with my Home Office again. Love you all and your videos.❤️
I prefer donating to somewhere other than Goodwill; huge amounts end up in the bins (and landfill), plus CEO's salary is half million $ a year, way more than other places.
I need to go through all my pictures and declutter them and print them to get back into scrapbooking. I was an avid scrapbooker back in 04/05 to probably around 13 or so. Then in 16 I got busy and totally stopped. Though I was going and doing a lot I just needed sat down to print those pictures, however, I have all my memorabilia from those events. During my scrapbooking years I’d go to a lot of crops. I eventually want to get back.
You always have the cutest earrings 😍 I love your office it’s so big and spacious! I’ve never heard of cottage cheese pizza. That sounds absolutely delicious!!
I'm with you on the scrapbooks supplies. I have quite a bit that hasn't been touched in 10+ years! Butb I'm not ready to get rid of it because of the 'someday'!
I tried on every single pair of jeans and shorts I own. Over 100 pants and shorts. Also all my bras. I have lost 93 pounds and have went from a 22 down to a 12.

Congratulations!!
Good for you.
My garage is the worst, for some reason I have the hardest time decluttering and organizing it. The thing just is like a big pit.
Awesome job, keep up the progress!!! ❤
You have a wonderful space to work, craft, and exercise. Decluttering the room feels like decluttering the mind to me. Thanks for sharing!
I used to scrapbook with my coworker I enjoyed, I wss basic but it was fun. Made my friends a wedding album.
I make cottage cheese toast in an English muffin, with a slice of tomato and everything but the bagel seasoning.
A school or church (day care) would LOVE your craft supplies.
love these little cameos from murphy and milo
I really like your decluttering videos. I appreciate how realistic and honest you are!
So good to see sweet Murphy. I miss seeing him. 🦮❤
Something that has really helped me minimize my clutter collection - before I buy something, I think “what would you DO with this” so if it’s “cute” or whatever but doesn’t actually DO or GO anywhere, I just say “oooo, aahhhh” and move on.

I wish your scrapbooking videos were still available - I enjoyed watching them. Good job on your office declutter!

Your makeup looks really good today!
What’s really funny we’re getting a dumpster too! I have a lot of Amazon boxes and other crap filling the garage it has to go! Hurricane season starts June 1 and it’s just time to go through stuff and get rid of it.
I like everything but the bagel seasoning on my cottage cheese!
My husband was doing laundry and asked me to buy hangers. I’ve now purged 5 trash bags full of clothes 😂

It always feels so good to declutter and organize. I have to tackle my pantry soon or soon-ish, lol. 😉
It’s identity clutter, fantasy self etc. I’m not ready to get rid of the scrapbooking stuff either, but i don’t see myself ever really doing it again, like I almost feel like it was a phase.
This video is timely! I am doing something similar in my home. Thanks for the video!
I’ve been decluttering too. Feels amazing!
Your weekend prep videos are what hooked me on your channel, I loved this video!
Declutteted old docs from 2018 to 2020.
Love your typewriters! Love your room, especially the windows!
I have attempted to start decluttering. So far it ended in 20 bags of my son's clothes being donated. All that didn't fit. Now I feel anxiety every time he goes shopping without me
Jen, the Keto Twins have a video on making cottage cheese chips in the microwave. They taste great for a crispy, salty snack.
Thanks for the tip!
Sue here: wow good job! I'm jealous of your declutter progress. 💚
I watched this as I took things out of my kitchen thank you!
This should be good!!! Could you do my house next? 🌺
Great job. I love this video. Be safe.
murphy wanted to say hi to his youtube friends :)

You will love to scrap again when grand babies come!!! 💖💖💖
I Jen thanks for all your volgs.
I've watched a lot of different RUclipsr's declutter different areas of their homes, but yours has to be my favorite because you're so real and genuine. Please don't ever change.
Good fir you
I need to do this. I have all the crafting stuff & cross stitch, etc. ☺️
This is motivating me to declutter too. Thank you for being so honest and real.
My hubby has always eaten cottage cheese with paprika and toast on the side.
Please try baked potatoes in the air fryer!,, they come out tasting like pillows of fluff with a crispy skins…outrageously delicious.
We are crafting sisters lol! I did the same scrapbooking obsessed! Remember 2 Peas in a Pod? Were you on that site? I also did tons of cross stitch and still have bins of supplies. You are inspiring me to purge!!
Omg I did the same thing with the eye makeup remover. I thought they were both good!
I love the lancome
Omg my bf kept one of those name coke bottles and it was misshapen like yours. I had to beg him to throw it out
I can totally relate with your craft room😁 When you mentioned cross stitch and showed stuff on the top shelf, did I spot some stampin up ribbon? And some stampin up ink pads? 😁 I so need to go through my supplies. You’re a great inspiration 🥰🥰
Ty for sharing, I want to do a big declutter soon, inlaws coming for the first time since 2018 lol I've been making pita pizza since the 80s...ugh so old but my mom got a "recipe" when I was young. Cottage cheese and spices then mushrooms or whatever veg you like and cheese on top so good
Oops forgot to add popped under the broiler after lol
I can’t stand my home to be cluttered, so I clean things out on a regular basis. I have a small condo and only 4 small closets, so I can’t hang onto too much stuff.
Do you have any advice on decluttering kids bedroom The kids are 4 and 5 my wife is thinking of tipping the kids mattress to check under their bunk bed she wants to get rid of the bunk bed
❤❤❤❤
I don't think it was the air fryer, i think it was the stuff you brushed on. the sugar caramelized and burnt.
Keep the coke bottle
Awesome video…very motivating! ☺️
Totally random, but you have the cutest morning hair 😆
Omg I have my coke bottle with my name on it too hahahahaha
Thank you for the decluttering motivation. I recently started and I have oodles of clothes to sell. I’ve never sold before in Poshmark so I have been delaying the process. Maybe you could do a video on posting on Poshmark for us newbie sellers! Also, love your new look (sans glasses), you’re so glamorous!
Great video! Jen, when are you de cluttering the kitchen? I need to do mine and need your inspiration!
So you only like your kids when they leave you alone . Gezz
Jen and family have a great week have fun thanks from Oklahoma
Why don’t you put it in the garage
What eyelashes were you wearing? They looked really pretty.
I think they are the kiss brand
❤
My hero!
Weren’t you able to list items for free or donate? Why the need for a dumpster.
Some items in the garage, rusted or broken furniture, etc are not suitable for donation. I don't want to donate things to Goodwill that are in bad repair, I feel like that is rude.
I could have sworn you got your braces off.
Click Bait. Half of this video was your personal life. Nothing about getting a dumpster.
So much motivation! Is there a women shelter close to you. Some help women get back on their feet. You may can donate to them.
I just moved a 10x20 storage unit into a 1 bedroom. I am still unpacking after almost 2 months . I am disabled so it's taking me a long time. Plus the mental and emotional getting rid of stuff that you spent your hard earned money on plus the memories created with some of the stuff. I just have to try to do a little a day to get it done. Still have to purge more. I know I can't take it with in the end, so it's time to down size it.
Let us know when you pick up the scrapbooking again. Big fan
You are my inspiration! Thanks for lighting a fire up my butt today to get myself organized. You're a doll!
Dumpsters in America look a lot like trailers here in Australia

We recently recarpeted our entire upstairs. We should have just moved! It was a huge huge nightmare.
Cottage cheese toast with everything bagel or hemp seasoning 😋
This video spent more time on things that had nothing to do with declutterring.
My mom ate cottage cheese toast topped with cinnamon all the time when I was a kid.
I loved the conspiratorial tone with which you said "...to do a boudoir shoot once" 😂
Jen,Im not kidding when I say that since you started losing weight,you look younger.
I need to go through all my pictures and declutter them and print them to get back into scrapbooking. I was an avid scrapbooker back in 04/05 to probably around 13 or so.

Milo has gotten huge 😳
Great job! I struggled with going through my mom and dads stuff too. Took years but you do feel better one done. ❤️
I need to decluttwr so badly 😢
Thanks for the video it gave me the motivation to work on my big closet this weekend
Did you see the Cosori air fryer we both have was recalled? Not sure why.
Yes! I got rid of mine awhile back but I heard they were catching on fire.
Did you buy that dumpster or rent it? I NEED one!
I got it from my stepdad! BUT you can rent one from your trash collector.
Yay a video!!!! Thanks
You can definitely propagate that beautiful plant and then you can have more Beautiful plants!!!!
I'm with you on the scrapbooks supplies. I have quite a bit that hasn't been touched in 10+ years! Butb I'm not ready to get rid of it because of the 'someday'!
❤
