🫶 ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Madeline, mum of 2 little ones, after dealing with miscarriage and infertility for years. I love making videos about motherhood, minimalism, decluttering, cleaning motivation, speed clean with me, homemaking, Ikea favourites, and everything in between.
I strive to upload new videos every week. Hope you stick around and subscribe!
👩💻 DISCLAIMER
Some of the links above are affiliate links, which means I get a small commission if you purchase anything through them (without adding any extra cost on your part). Occasionally I get sent products for review purposes and those will be marked accordingly. I will always give you my honest opinion. I only work with brands that I love and use myself.
One of the things I threw out, is the label people try to stick on me. I'm an old woman and a minimalist but I study, do woodwork, sewing and weekly food prep for my adult children; All while renovating walls, ceilings and woodwork. My home is a mess but I'm still a minimalist.
You inspire me. I watch your videos to see what my home will be like when I'm done.
Thank you
nothing you said sounds like an „old woman“
I’m happily decluttering day by day. So much I don’t miss and need. I’m enjoying my freedom from excess and unnecessary possessions.
A couple of years back, I was unorganized and had a mess. One day I needed a important paper and I could not find it. I searched all day, yes all day and finally late at night I found the important paper that I needed. That was my breaking point and I decided to organize my papers and clothes. Just like you, I did not have a plan.
Now I have less clothes, miscellaneous things and less papers. I donated a lot of clothes and shredded so many papers. I now have my clothes organized and my papers are organized too. I still continue to declutter and shred. I only bring in something if I need it. I always relook through each areas of my home to see what can go and you are right it does get easier to declutter.
One benefit I've found to our newly decluttered home (thanks to you!) is that ny children FINALLY tidy after themselves! It's a lot easier for them to know where things go, and there isn't too much to put away at once.
Love your tips. I actually enjoy going back time and time again to declutter more from an area. I laugh when i get rid of something and remember thinking oh i cannot get rid of that item. It gets so much easier. xxxxx
It definitely gets easier
I remember reading Thoreau decades ago and thinking that I had to quantify my minimalism. Thoreau says we should be able to count what we own on our fingers (and if necessary, our toes). So I arrived at 20 as my magic number. With the wisdom of age, I realize that he is just trying to make me be more deliberate with my actions and possessions. Not to quantify them. I appreciate how you didn't disparage being minimalist or minimalish or minimalistic. It's about the intention, not the definition. Thank you!
I’m addition to great content, this video is technically so well done. It flows well, your voice is clear and well modulated, the editing is terrific and you easily bring us in your journey. Such a pleasure to watch!
I loved this entire video. Our family have been practicing Minimalism for about seven years. Just like a doctor, this is a practice, so sometimes we make mistakes. We all have our different specialties, just as doctors do, but we are all Minimalists. Everything you said was truly on point, especially the functional reasons to decrease items.
Fumio Sasaki's book "Goodbye Things" is a great book.
Me watching your video repeatedly as I am actually doing it myself :) Thank you so much for your helpful content Madeline, you are being a great help 😊
I love how this was filmed. So cute! 👏🏼
Thank you so much 💛
Such great videos, always inspires and motivates me to declutter small areas one at a time. I've also taken this inspiration into my garden. ☺️
Excellent tips! Very well made creative video
I love how you ended this video! 😍 So happy to have found your channel✨
One area at a time really does help.
Ha ha love the ending!
Haha thank you 💛
Love the book Atomic Habits!
I am so happy I found your channel!
I'd need one spoon and one knife too!😊
Great video, thank you! Great tips for decluttering
I love your home aesthetic and I'm thinking of getting the same sofa . . . any tips on keeping it clean with kids?!
I have the same collection of teas )))
Great video, thank you for this helpful content!
Excellent well-made video
Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤ How can I eliminate the disturbing background sounds?
Great Video !
Hi just come across your videos absolutely love them and so motivating, could you tell me please where is your children's toy storage from. The one you have in the living room downstairs. Thank you
Thank you so much! The toy storage unit is Ikea Kallax, and the white baskets inside are Ikea Branas 💛
Thank you so much
I love your home! Same colors as mine. Do you keep gift bags, wrap, and ribbons on hand, or buy them as needed? I have so many but struggle to let go knowing I will have to buy them later!
I personally own a shoebox full of used ribbons from gifted gifts and I reuse them when I'm wrapping gifts for other people.
We do the same thing with gift bags for xmas. If the bags haven't been shredded or damaged to the point of being trash, we save them for the next year. Of course they show a little bit of wear, but we only replace them every couple of years by doing this. Using reusable bags works well too because you can get them in so many patterns and materials.
I have so much stuff, i dont know where to start, and im not sure whats the clutter and whatnot 😢 makes decisions so hard
I try to be a minimalist but my partner doesn't think like that. Do you have any advice regarding that?
There is a sense that it can be One and Done - in that it is possible to only have to do one huge initial declutter, and then after that just occasionally review a few things here and there, notice what you are no longer using, or no longer using as frequently so these can be stored away or in a different place.
Very helpful. Thank you! I’m now struggling what to do with old CD music and workout DVD’s. Should I throw it away? Since I thought that it will be hard to sell since there is Spotify and YT now…. Any advice?
We donated a lot of our DVDs to the local library
Just let it go. You'll be so happy.
Keep them. They are coming back! Throw the covers away and get a cd/DVD holder to store them. They take up very little space.
@@marge2225how are they coming back?
Get yourself a portable hard drive and rip all of the content onto it if it's something you use somewhat regularly. Then donate the physical media, we did that with a lot of ours and it's saved so much space. Now if we want to use a piece of media, like a workout video, we plug it into the tv and we're good to go. We label the hard drive too, of course, so we don't use it.
😊😊
I am a cozy minimalist Which allows so much more than the bare minimum

Thank you for watching, Karen 💛
