Good morning, Robyn!🥰 I was thinking, maybe you should store a can opener in the emergency canned food bin.
Yes I do! And thanks for mentioning it though!
I got a batch of cheap church keys (the openers that used to come with c-rations in the older days). Modern MREs don’t usually need them.
In Australia, most cans are opened with a ring-pull. The very occasional can needs to be opened with a can opener, and sometimes the ring pull breaks. But although I don't have or need emergency supplies, I now realise that my can-opener doesn't need to be stored in my tiny kitchen!
Loving the chocolate drawer🤣 I need one
You DO!
Totally agree!!!
Thank you for addressing this issue as many minimalist do not. Yet, my family complains we have too much food and water, rather than things. I on the other had do not feel we have too much stuff and not enough food…Im outnumbered.
They would be grateful in an emergency
Noticing what we’re missing in the wake of Helene.
Stay safe!
Ive been decluttering my house hard core these past two weeks, preparing for our 7th baby to come in december... We took the month of September off school (homeschooling - we do two months of school then a month off theoughout the year) and the first half was travel to visit family... Then i had two weeks to declutter before school starts on Monday!
Yesterday i took a huge bunch of donations to the thrift store, came home, washed the sheets that were supposed to go back onto the guest bed, only to find theyre the wrong size! They are our second set of sheets for my bed and i decluttered ALL the sheets for the guest room! Whoops!!!
Oh well. My kids all have 1 set of sheets for their beds and i have 1 spare set for the wet or night vomits that inevitably happen... My bed has two sets, and ill just have to buy another set for the guestroom. And our linen closet is no longer scary! Plus those sheets i let go of were ten years old and didnt go with the bedspread i decided to keep... I get to choose a better color now!
Not all declutter mistakes are terrible. Some just "wipe the slate cleaner than you meant to" and give a fresher place to start again.
Now on to decluttering some more for me. 🎉
Totally get it!
I love that! "Wipe the slate cleaner than you meant to". I have to watch myself though. I sometimes am tempted to declutter a rarely used item JUST SO I can buy a new version when I need it next. Silly, because my old stuff is built to last, and modern appliances are not.
Robyn, I clicked on your video and I was like, “Is that a Coffee Crisp bar?!” I had a Canadian friend that sent me one many years ago and started an addiction. But they are so hard to find in Seattle! Bartell Drugs used to carry them off and on, but it changed when they got bought out by Rite Aid. I finally found them again recently at World Market! And they’re ridiculously expensive here. 🍫
I'm not so sure about paper piles. I've done that, then someone comes to visit, the piles go on top of each other as visitor is staying in office.... suddenly I'm back to starting again. Ive done this more than once. This is one i need to follow dana k whites method of just dealing with what i can and dealing with it fully, including shredding.
Oh, the point is to finish the job and put them away quickly
The channel “see mindy mom” has a few videos on emergency meal kits. If anyone is looking for some simple go to ideas. The ingredients for certain meals that can be stored in gallon bags. Can easily be rotated every year if you don’t eat. Just search her name and emergency meal kits.
Your video was great Robyn! Not trying to take from you!
I just thought it was a really well organized idea and didn’t take up too much space. And all in one place
And no thinking of what can make in an emergency, it’s all right there
I remember that storm! My sister was in one of zones that was 9 days without power. It looked like a giant came down the road knocking trees and power poles over all over the place. She used water from the hot tub to flush the toilet and would come to my house to shower. That had to panic buy a generator to keep the freezer running.
I file my keep papers on Fridays. Otherwise, once I have gone through the mail, it gets put in a bag to be shredded or put in the rtrash to be thrown away. Everything other than my rent are on line and the rent would Beas well if it would be possible. 😊
SO smart!!
You sound like me. I am finishing up a project to scan everything in my 2-drawer file cabinet (of which only 1 drawer actually contains papers). Only keeping hard copies of things like tax docs and home/car purchase paperwork. And planning to go all-digital with tax docs next year.
Awesome video, great ideas! Love the candy drawer. Hope you find the chocolate banana bread recipe. It sounds yummy! Have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
My revelation with emergency supplies came when I was rotating expired stuff out. There was too much new stuff to fit in the backpack it came in. 💡 I had an empty roller suitcase in my closet - voila! Stored and reduced the room it took up. 👍
NOOOO! Who eats a Kit Kat like that? 😛🤣
haha, my kids were like "you're a monster!!"
🍫 I'm sensing a theme...
I'm glad I started with The 30-Day Minimalism Game because it had me just skimming off that top layer of clutter here and there rather than focusing on a specific area at a time and trying to do a deep declutter and get it perfect the first time around.
Do you like in Montana?
Vancouver Island
I’m in SC and we got rain and wind from Hurricane Helene No power but only one day. Thankfully I had snacks and had made extra coffee and put it in my yeti 🙌🏼
We have learned to only keep emergency food that we will actually eat and rotate the inventory. Canned soup is an emergency staple item, but we don't like it and I've thrown away too much expired food.
I am watching this on my phone as we are currently without power due to Hurricane Helene 😉
Same here. 😊
Oh no! Stay safe!
Stay safe!
Werewolves! 😂
Thank you for this vid - lots of very good tips. I love it that you have a chocolate drawer! Also thought it was sweet that you kept the baby clothes and shoes - one or two baby items is certainly enough for sweet memories, and I agree: you should at least have 1-2 baby items saved - they are so cute!! Last, I loved the tool list. I see value in all of them. I have some, need others, and those 10 items could all fit in one container. Love it! Thank you. ❤️
Yesss! Thanks Michelle!
@@MinimalistHome You are very welcome!!
I also made mistakes. Declutterd a top that I wish I did'nt. 😢
A SILK blouse 😢
Awww, that's a shame
That is too funny.😂
Tahnks!
I have hoarder tendencies and I’m decluttering and I must say I’m really pleased with how well I’m getting rid of things.
But I struggle with keeping things ‘Just in case or having Time will tell bins’ To me it’s hoarding but what if I do need it, I don’t want to re- buy again but I hate feeling like it’s hoarding.
How will I get past the hoarding feelings and know it’s ok to hold on to some things.
It's hard, sometimes chatting with a therapist can be really beneficial to get past what's keeping you stuck
Also may I suggest Dana k white (RUclips channel) her book titled “decluttering at the speed of life” is a great place to start.
It’s a beyond personal and yet funny step by step. If therapy helps you work through thoughts and feelings. Dana can help work the the details.
In a very gentle way
@@MinimalistHome thank you, I think I’ll have to look into that because I definitely don’t want to go back to becoming a hoarder. I’m 61 and I’m learning to declutter and letting go.
@@creativelycountry1617 thank you
@@creativelycountry1617 I wholeheartedly second this!!!! Absolutely love Dana!
