    Carleen absolutely is a natural beauty and it's so heartwarming to see C'jon express that. He's a beautiful man and you have a beautiful family. Love your videos!

    I keep my grocery store bags. I use it for trash bags. It works, and I haven't bought any plastic trash bags. It helps. I keep it tied in a knot inside qn empty tissue box. You can fit 100 of them in there.

    Glad I’m not the only one with kids that knock over folded laundry🤦‍♀️ I go through phases of folding kids clothes and just throwing them in the drawer.

    I just started this video and I was AWWWWW on the kitty!!!
    I watched one of your other videos this am and spent my afternoon decluttering my car and cleaning it all up and I feel so good! But now I have to do inside my apt! Love you guys!

    I understand why you don’t keep the grocery bags with little kids around. I will tell you though, I’m not sure how you manage the kitty litter box, but that is what I use the grocery bags for, scooping the box. I’m a minimalist like you guys and I also adopted a sweet kitty a couple years ago ❤

    For a while, I used paper tissue boxes, and vegetable plastic packaging from the supermarket to organize with. Free‼️

    For Christmas, I just like buying the tree. I put 1 ornament on it, it was a gift from a friend, and that's it!

    For Christmas we have our tree and special ornaments, stockings and a wreath, I think I have fairy lights also and a couple nutcrackers (my grandma loved them) I have one tote and everything besides tree has to fit otherwise it needs to be decluttered

    When I had my apartment I use to have 6 foot tall X-Mas tree, it was so bulky. I was gifted a tiny 2 foot tree that fits on the kitchen table, it was so much better.

    Hello I just found your channel today. The saying yes to everything is very important point to bring up. I too struggled with this. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is. Thank you for bringing it up.

    I loved this video! I’m still decluttering and simplifying my space especially with baby number 6 on the way! I’ve learned a lot from your channel! Your kitten is so cute! We just actually adopted some kittens too, I’m curious how do you keep it simple and minimal with pets?

  • @leebradford6283
    @leebradford6283 6 месяцев назад

    I am basically the absolute same way. Funny how also when we stop the clutter we can actually renovate our homes cheaply! And live much better. I learnt the same ways and things. Now it’s about being a bargain hunter! X

    Taking free things is GOOD. If the goal is to be utilitarian, then start a compost bin and take whatever waste biomass you can and incorporate it. If it is going to waste, then you can profit from it.

    I just discovered your channel, and I'm binging on them. I agree with you about social things. I will only go if it is a family requirement like a wedding or funeral. Even then, I'll get out of it if I can. I'd rather stay home with my cats and read.

    We dont decorate for holidays aside from our 4ft Christmas tree.
    I dont iron unless absolutely necessary
    I dont match socks or fold underwear
    We dont drink, dont have cable, buy dvds and cds second hand or heavily discounted
    Dont have a lot of toys and i dont wear make up, beyond mascara and coconut oil on my lips when we go to a wedding or funeral. Which is rare.
    We dont socialize.we use empty boxes to carry groceries and burn the boxrs off or repourpose them.

    Everything but folding the clothes, lol .I learned how to fold it into a square block it's stay like that way even though I knock it down. I used to hate it, but now, like a hobby to they neatly fold .May I'm the only one who thinks like that 😂.

    I stumbled across you two and adore you already! Your mindset and attitudes align with mine perfectly even though I'm not a minimalist in the technical sense. How I wish I had known these things when my kids were young. Now, my kidlets are minimalistic and are modeling the behavior to my grandkids, things I wish I had done. So proud of them! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to much more! _heading to your other videos_
