EXTREME DECLUTTER - KONMARI Kids Clothes and Kids Books - [Extreme Declutter Series Part 3]

- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This video is the third in the series of an extreme declutter, as part of a journey towards minimalism. Minimalism holds different meanings for people, and in this video you will see me konmari the kid's books, minimize the kid's clothes using The Minimal Mom's method, and donate a pile of homeschool goodies to a local teacher.
My thought process during this journey has changed. It's not just about decluttering. I'm also examining my spending habits, budgeting, and clutter habits. Thank you for all the wonderful comments in this series, and for sharing your stories. Thank you for the advice and the tips. Thank you for supporting me through this!

You give me wings to fly and declutter my home...thank you
So wel said
Erica, what I loved most in this video is that you’ve gone from overwhelmed in the first videos to more confident in how and why to do this and now you even seem joyful. You’re making great progress and are very inspiring! 😊❤️
I am inspired Colleen! So much support poured through comments that I felt proud. Like I can do it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Homeschool Happens you are doing it! It is really awesome to watch.
No, only 5. I'm sticking to the rules. Loved that.
Just remember when you declutter & organize if have empty space it's ok to leave empty & not fill😉🇨🇦‼
Doing a good cleanse.
I have never been so proud of someone that I don’t even know in my life! Just Wow! Your recognition, your accountability, and your execution towards this awareness of yourself is absolutely inspiring! I wish you all of the blessings that will come to you because of this journey. It is whole heartily deserved!
Yes, I totally agree. ❤
You have clearly raised kind and thoughtful children. Be proud, Well done! Giving away stuff would cause tantrums in most houses.
I went through this a few years ago. I was a 25 year buyer/hoarder of all things old - fabric, crockery, glasses, linen. Mainly from thrift stores/garage sales. I felt I was saving the beautiful but unwanted things of history. I'm a mad history buff. Eventually I had a stuffed house and extreme spender's guilt. But then I thought, some people spend $10 000 on an overseas holiday, and never feel remorse, just enjoy it. I spent about the same over a long period, enjoying the shopping, looking at all the beautiful things and finding bargains. Just like the overseas trip, I spent a lot of money on something, and it gave me a lot of joy, but now it's over. No need for guilt, just great memories, but time to let go and do other things. I hope this helps and you go girl!
What a blessing for your Friend’s new classroom. It’s a win /win situation. It always makes it a little easier parting with things knowing their going to people in need!.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Big blessings to you!!!
I'm sure the library wouldn't mind some donations or women/children's shelters, or for a school library
I’m so happy for you and what you have accomplished in your journey.
The music is so loud compared to your voice. Just would enjoy your videos so much more if I didn’t have to keep adjusting my volume. ☺️
THANK YOU for that tip! I will improve that from now on. I love that feedback!!!
This series is so relateable and REAL. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and showing the hard work, Erica. This is very inspirational as well as helping me deal with my own guilt of getting rid of so many homeschool items - many of them never used! - from 21 years of homeschooling 5 children. I'm definitely a recovering homeschool hoarder and, with 2 kids still at home, it's an on-going battle of saying no to all the "wouldn't that be fun to use/educational" stuff that's out there that I know darn well I will never use when I'm honest with myself. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I love your story. I do feel vulnerable in this series and appreciate the support.
With everyone of these videos your smile seems bigger and your eyes seem brighter! Your ability to get things done while having small children underfoot means I can't continue to rely on that as an excuse!
I love the bin sorting for the books! The visual and/or physical limit of a bin is a great way to keep the number of something we have to a more manageable amount. This is how we keep toys and books under control in our house.
You are one of the few that accepts her mistakes admits to them and commits to change, that’s very humbling, keep going!!!
Wow, you are doing so much, so quickly. Those books! Wow, so many, but you didn't throw them away, you gave them to almost 30 children who will cherish these books and remember them for a lifetime. There were books I remember reading when I was in first and second grade. I cherish them so much that I got them for my own kids! I see these books on the net or in a book store and my heart swells with the memories of holding it my small hands, of taking my time to read each word and swim in the illustrations. I loved it! and still do. You are doing so much for so many children and also helping your own family. I have to do books and clothing as well. So much, too little time. I need more hours in the day. Looking forward to your next video. I wanted to tell you about something I read up from Konmari. She said somewhere, don't remember if it was her show or on article...1 in, 1 out. If you purchase a new bag or set of cups...go through your bags and donate/give away/toss a bag before you bring in a new one. If you want that set of coffee cups, toss out older ones so you can bring the new ones in. I've been doing this for about 6 months and it's helped so so so much. The cleaned out shelves look fantastic though, you're doing great!
1 in, 1 out sounds so logical. Right now I’m doing 0 in and 1,000,000 out. 😂
LOL I did something in January where I purchased a simple marble notebook and each page I used for one day. I recorded every single thing I purchased...even a stick of gum, and you'll be surprised how many things I added to my little hoarded mess haha But, you know, every day that passes, I learn and make better decisions. It's a learn as you go thing, and it's working. Albeit, slowly, but its still working. Glad to see your smile, you seem lighter and brighter with each passing video.
What a blessing to that new teacher. Good for you! Your teaching the children to give and let go.
Yes!! They were with me and asked what I was doing with the bin. It was a good moment!
I’m so excited to continue to watch you on your minimalism journey!!
If you need some motivation “My Great Challenge”, “A Hoarders Heart”, and “Messy Minimalist” are three amazing ladies who have some incredible videos on decluttering and their own struggles with minimalism! Remember you are not alone!! Everything in your house was once bought with a good intention, so don’t feel guilty for it! Keep looking forward and focusing on the positives!! So proud of you!!
Not gonna lie, this series was giving me anxiety at first lol but you’ve done such an amazing job! I love watching you get motivated to purge the stuff and learning to let go of the guilt. You’re doing great!
Ha you made me laugh!!! It gave me anxiety at first too!!!!! 😂
So helpful to see the reality of decluttering in a homeschooling home with young kids! Very relatable! Thanks for your honesty throughout the series. So relatable and encouraging. Hope your decluttering journey continues to go well and bring peace and freedom to your home. ❤️🙌
This is my favorite of all of your videos! I love seeing the joy the process is bringing you!
you and your children will benefit .Well done . You can't go wrong with the Minimalist Mom
I don't even have kids but I love the Dawn the Minimal Mom and her family. Very inspiring...as are you. How wonderful you've found specific people to donate to, so encouraging. I loved the idea of getting rid of some of the furniture when I'd emptied or
cleared it. Some things went away completely and some were repurposed elsewhere. Go! Go! Go! 👏👏
Thanks Rusty! It’s been an unexpected learning curve for me and I’m grateful for the suggestions people gave me.
Thanks for the sweet words!
What a lovely gesture and it benefits all! Diana Romero
You might even be able to take out some cabinets or bookshelves when you´re done : )
I know that must make you feel good to know your friend can use all your discards. 😍
I think tht it is so sweet, tht y'all hve family books. 📚
Can’t wait to see the next video. You are doing really well. You seem happier. Keep up the good work. Cheering you on 🎉🎉
Thank you!! I need it!
Well done, that must have felt so good. How lovely to help a school, too. 👍
I suggest a weekly or biweekly trip to public library with the children . They choose 3 books each and return them! My son makes this a fun excursion with his children every Friday after work. Sometimes in winter when days are short they get a movie and have movie night after supper, complete with popcorn!
We go every week! The kids librarian puts on a program for an hour each week.
I absolutely love the pure joy on your face as you complete each step! Giving so much to your friend for her classroom was not only kind, but an affirmation that you are exactly where you need to be on your journey. One suggestion is to limit how much you put in a donate pile before you start a new pile. That way, you are not left with the chore of repackaging...or the temptation of removing items from donation as you repack.
My mother always said " Start in one corner and work yourself out" and that's what you're doing. Fantastic job.😍
Great job. You may want to let the teacher friend check the other donate items. I know many teachers and school bus drivers who will see a child in need and help them (on the sly not in front of the other kids) coats , jackets , shoes, school supplies , books you name it. My daughters favorite teacher in 5th grade also ran his own library In the back of his classroom. It helped especially for some kids who didnt have the luxury of a parent to take them to a library for projects/homework. I made sure all my daughters books went right to him. I knew they were being used in a fantastic way and wouldn't make it to a dump until they were well worn/used. Good luck.
I'm so excited for your next video!
Thank you! I’m going to attack, I mean declutter my kitchen stuff next!
I enjoy watching your videos! One thing we are trying to work on is, one in one out. If we get a new book- we take one out and donate it.
“That’s old and weird and dirty so you’re not wearing that.” Classic. As a fellow mom - I can relate. 😂
Ha right?!?
😂😂🤣
As a former teenage girl i can also relate. Haha.
Another benefit to your journey: Your husband will be happier, too.
Im just started watching your videos and am loving watching your process and your progress- great job!! Will continue watching. I’m an ex-homeschooler 🙂
Erica , you are so brave and doing an awesome job .
I am decluttering our house also and the decision-making mantra I am using is: Use It, or Lose It. Our house is not a warehouse.
This was again inspiring. My youngest are 15 and I have been keepin childrens books. I will donate them and when I get grandchildren we will visit the library. That is a nice no cost event to do. ❤️ you are good at one step at the time 😊💙😊
I've been telling myself if I ever need a book I can easily find it at a thrift store, yard sale, library, ebay, or even amazon overnight if it's that urgent, I found them all the first time I can find them again if I need them
Yes eBay to other homeschoolers, donate to WOMEN shelters a must, find the lowest income school district, put out to someone who tutors, child care facilities... You Can Help So Many that educate that is not funded. That is the direction. I agree. What a win-win!!! Keep going. How many people are you touching and inspiring? Lots!!!
Thank you!! Yes, I am going to do just that!
Directly because of you, I went down into the pit (basement ) and did much HECK YA needed sorting!!!! Thank you!
YES Andrea!!! The pit! 😂. How did it go???
You are such a great mama!!
I’m not a homeschooler and my kids are adults, but after a recent bereavement I need to clear out and get decluttering. I’ve been at it for months and I feel like I’m not getting anywhere, it’s hard work, emotionally, mentally and physically. Your honesty and rawness have really helped me feel like it’s ok that this is such a hard process for me and to just keep going. Thank you, New subscriber x
Looks like you are doing a great job. A true hoarder would not be able to do what you are doing. Congrats!
Ok! I had to subscribe! Your doing great! Good job mom!
Every day that you declutter leave time to drive a load to the thrift store. And anything else that you can take somewhere else out of the house the better.
You are rocking this declutter and minimalist life. Way to go girl. Keep up the good work.
You are doing a brilliant job!! Keep up the great work!!
Keep up the great work. It is so freeing to get rid of stuff & see empty space.
I am enjoying watching your minimalist journey. I am struggling with the same thing at the moment. It gives me inspiration.
It is tough! I hope you find yourself on the path to figuring it out.
Your smile when you showed off your bookcase! ☀️ So proud of you! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next vid!
So glad to hear you have let go of the guilt! It’s funny because until I started minimizing I didn’t realize that I felt guilt for the projects I hadn’t gotten to. But it totally was!
Is it not a great feeling to get rid of all stuff and help others at the same time? You've done an amazing job!
Good for you!! I actually find decluttering easier when I’m donating to a good cause!! Yea!!
You are doing great. Don't know if this has been written yet. Remember to look at how much you HAVE DONE and not so much as to what you haven't done. ...And as FlyLady Kat...of A Better Life with Kat (yt) when you do look at what you have to do just say "I SEE YOU AND I HAVE A PLAN FOR YOU!" Which is to DECLUTTER... donate, toss/recycle or keep... when that area is on your list. MOST IMPORTANTLY, KEEP REMINDING YOURSELF ALL YOU HAVE DONE!! As THE Flylady, Marla Celley herself says... "IT DIDN'T GET THAT WAY OVER NIGHT(OR IN ONE WEEK-END) IT ISN'T GOING TO GET DECLUTTERD IT THAT AMOUNT OF TIME" "even 10 -15 min at a time with make a difference...it will add up.
See what you have DONE not what you HAVEN’T done. I needed that!!!!❤️❤️
Another place you can donate your stuff to is any churches that help poor families. Clothes and unused toiletries (if you have a stock of them) can be donated to them or local area foodshelves which will also help less fortunate families. (Check if your local area foodshelf accepts non food item donations first though :3)
I donate all my old, but still decent, clothing to the local food shelf. The clothes never sit for more than a week or two before being grabbed by someone with more need.
Your hair is Gorgeous
Erica, you are doing a fabulous job of decluttering all your items. I started my journey about 8 months ago. The very first thing I did was “shine my sink” from FlyLady...that’s what sparked me to get my house more minimal. From there I just tried to do something everyday and the feeling became addicting because less stuff was less stress. Then I found “The minimal mom”, Dawn has helped me realize that I don’t need as much as what I thought. I found a Faith in Action Facility needing donations from food to clothing to households items that gives me such pleasure because I know someone else can use the items I no longer need. Doing an awesome job, keep it up.
Thank you! I do the shine my sink too! When I remember. I love coming down to a clean sink to start the day!!
I just Wanted let you know how inspiring I find your journey to minimizing, as a former homeschooling mother I found myself also to be a hoarder of homeschool supplies and always having what may be needed available to my two artistic daughters and now that my daughters are both 28 and 30 I am finding myself finally in a position to let go of the things. I held on for so long thinking they may need something Someday that I had saved for them, and now is both very independent very capable women I know longer need to hold onto the things that they grew out of 10 and 12 years ago. Your thought process has been very inspiring thank you for being open and real.
You can do this!! You raised strong women. That means you are strong too. ❤️
The progress you have done is huge! Congratulations :) It might have been said already, but when I can't decide if I keep something or not, i ask myself if: 1) I used it in the past year and 2) I plan on using it in the next year. If not, it's a goodbye!
I loved to see the happiness and excitement when your bookcase was cleared out. You're doing amazing!!
It felt so great!!!
i.m a grammie, but am finding your progress inspiring for my own 'messes'. love you girl!!!thank you
Transformative!! Be sure to comment later on how reducing the kids' clothes has changed things for you, good or bad, but mostly good I hope.
I’m so curious how this is going to work and so glad I’m trying it. Laundry day starts tomorrow and I need to now minimize my clothes.
U r doing an amazing job ❤️🇨🇦
Try to make sure you get the stuff out of your house once you've decided so it doesn't sit somewhere else creating clutter, and possible hesitation.
Great work..your house IS overloaded.
But so nice to know that u realized it and willing to minimize .
See Joshua Becker videos also
Will you be minimazing furniture, as you get rid, so not tempted to fill up again, max floor space as well
Hi Anna, yes! I have already donated a table and 2 book cases. I’m sure there is more to get rid of once I get to it under the piles!
I'm so proud of you!!! I've been on my minimalism journey since 2012 when my twins were born. It's so freeing and I can see your joy as you continue! Your confidence is growing!!! Self reflection is key and you are sticking to it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the boost today, Julie!!!!
How has your journey been? Do you have clutter hot spots still now 7 years later?
Homeschool Happens of course there are hot spots! My girls' toys especially. Every so often we go through their toys, especially around Christmas and birthdays. My husband is not on board with minimalism at all, but he keeps his things picked up. He has a hard time letting go! I try and lead by example for my girls; show them that less is WAY better. Know that we are cheering for you! ❤️❤️
Decluttering is good for the soul and your home can breathe
Great job mama! I’m a homeschooling mama too so I commiserate with school supplies and books! 😉 For us we have to find a balance of what makes sense to save and what doesn’t (we have 4 kids ranging from 10yo to 17mo). With a lot of items- especially school/learning things- I kinda have a $20 threshold...can I replace ______ for under $20? If so, I usually purge it. And many times I find myself not wanting to purchase it again later! It’s very freeing. It also helps to be honest with yourself. Sometimes we like the idea of something, but not actually the something! And then if we don’t use that something, we feel guilty. It’s great to let it go and get rid of that guilt! Keep the momentum going- looking forward to your next video!
You get it! The idea of something is different than the actual something on homeschool planning. lol Thanks for watching!!
Your videos on working towards minimalism are so helpful. Thank you for taking the time to document your journey. You have achieved so much - when you started you looked so anxious and overwhelmed at times but now you look happier and as though a large burden has been lifted. Great rewards for such hard work. I also love Dawn The Minimal Mom am Darci Isabella for great inspiration - have you seen Darci's homeschool supplies (you might cry). 😊
I'm having my husband watch this so I can prove to him I'm not a hoarder.........I'm an organized hoarder.......hahahahahahaha🧡❤💛💙💚💜
Hey hi you are doing such a good work.
Could you do a video of the cleared rooms?
Are you maintaining it?
It’s interesting to see all the rooms how they now look
Oh yes! I will include that in next weeks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I am not sure if you agree..someone told me to view books as consumable...use and read them....dont just hold onto them.
I feel that way about most of my books. The kids like to hear or read them over and over.
I have a problem with getting it out of the house aka apartment. I know the answer, lol. “START THE CAR.” 😖
Yes but going someplace in it is a different story!
Hi Erica, YT brought me to your channel. Immediate new subscriber from the uk. You are immensely inspiring with your energy and honesty. I've been a "clutter-bucket" all my life but actually as an older person now have realised I'm a hoarder. The more I say it the more I have to own up to it and get things SORTED! 😊 slowly slowly bit by bit for me. But you are so fast. Its lovely also to see the improvement in you as well as your house. Loved your previous comment about amazon finding a new income stream. I think that about me too! I write in a budget book and highlighted various things in different colours. Amazon was pink......the pages of budget book was full of pink! Got that under control now ( ish!) Now for the "stuff"!
Look forward to watching your journey inspiring me and many others to follow suit.
Watching again because you really inspire me!
Thanks Jessica!
Very motivational. Since you have more room now, maybe consider consolidating all the home school items to the basement. Or, keep everything in the dining room organizer and designate the basement as family area. It just seems it would be nice to have everything in one space.
It really would be ideal. I think the basement playroom will become the homeschool space.
You are amazing! Thank you for displaying your truth! (You are helping so many!)
Wow that is an answered prayer!!! A friend that needs school stuff!!!!!!
oh course the favorite dresses are too small, lol
In one of your previous videos you mentioned reading many books on minimalism and I have a suggestion for you (not that you don't have enough to do already, and doing a great job at it!), but you might want to look into a Sidetracked Home Executives(TM): From Pigpen to Paradise by Pam Young and Peggy Jones | Feb 1, 2001. FlyLady started because of this book and mentions them often (BTW, I don't follow FL, can't deal with her method). I loved that book and it started changing my life. I was always truly a minimalist, but it seems that whenever I live with someone (specially my sisters) I seem to end up accumulating STUFF. Along with the ones you already checked out, Sidetracked Home Executives gives good, practical advice.
I recently found your video and I love it. Make me think to declutter my home as well haha ♡ Keep going it's amazing 😊
I just started to watch your videos today and it's amazing how similar with the kids things (and kitchen bowls -another video of yours) we both are. I have 7 children who are older than your children - 7 to 17 years old- and started this process 2 years ago. I first was forced to start it when we moved to a smaller home and then a year ago next month I started the Minimalist journey with intention and a want to change. I ended up getting rid of 60-70% of everything after getting rid of a lot the previous year. It feels very freeing and completely worth it. The most surprising thing is all the effort and joy I had buying all the things I thought my children would enjoy, they had no interest in! The books, the clothes, the workbooks- all of it. You're doing a great job!
Hello 👋🏻 watching from Switzerland and really enjoying your sincerity and your motivation. I don’t have kids myself (just 2 cats) and I am a minimalist EXCEPT in my art room 😅 and seeing how good you are doing with getting rid of stuff and donating them to the right person makes me want to try and do a big declutter as well.
Continue your great journey to downsizing 💪🏻
Hello Chloe! If you try one, let me know! Are you an artist?
Homeschool Happens I will let you know 😉 and yes I am an artist. So everything I collect might be useful one day ahah 😂 I even collect my cats moustaches 🙈
My kids are now 17 and 21 years old. But I still have books of when they were younger. I noticed one of your favorite books is the Giving Tree. I love that book! I have it somewhere in my attic. Among the boxes of books. Even though my kids are much older, I still have piles of clothes, piles of paper and boxes fulled of stuff I need to purge. I started in the kitchen and I’m still not done. Every week I do a little here and there. But there is still clutter everywhere. Unfortunately I have to do it on my own. My kids are not up to helping me now. Or ever did when younger. They now are responsible for their own rooms. I used to clean and organize their rooms when they were younger. My daughter keeps her room well clean and organized. My son is younger so he is less organized. My husband does not help with anything. He hoards tools and unfinished remodoling projects materials. I’m a procrastinator and hoarder in some way. But I’m ready for a change. Thanks for the motivation.
I'm so pleased your children helped if it was my children they would of cried that I was getting rid of their stuff and be taking the stuff back out I had to get rid of stuff when they weren't home ,your doing so well ,what a massive challenge ,does make you feel good though doesn't it x
I’m enjoying your journey thank you for sharing !.. I also love the minimal mum and look forward to seeing how you go with the 5x clothes challenge in the months to come
My magic number for clothes is 7, 5 for less used garments
Do you live in Colorado? Just spotted a bunch of Denver broncos gear 👍🏽
Chic By The Truckload my hubby is from Colorado!
The less the items...the less to control and be responsible for !
Less IS more!
I dont fold my kids clothes. It helps me because they can put their clothes away without either of us feeling overwhelmed. Folding takes so much more time and effort in my opinion. I am happy to see real life decluttering, real life struggles. Not everyone can clean and have their house spotless in 20 minutes. You are very much down to earth.
New subscriber here.
I doubt you know that there was a very long commercial before your video, over 5 mins and it had bleeped out language. I don’t care but I imagine your audience would not appreciate it. I watch the ads to contribute to your channel as a thanks for sharing as well as “liking”. I hear RUclips demonetized videos for language not suitable for advertisers but now the ads have content not suitable for your sweet homeschool audience. Just wanted you to know cause I like the way you roll! Peace
Actually I am really impressed with how you organize! It It’s so clean.
I showed this video to my husband and he cleaned out the closets.
Ha!! Nice Leilani!!
Wow! You are really becoming more decisive in your decision making. What a big difference going through the books made.
The books were a pivot point for me. Seeing empty shelves made me notice progress!!!
As a retired teacher I get the excess of schooling stuff! You are doing such a fantastic job letting go! She would probably love all the books u r letting go too! Most low income family often don’t have any books! TFS ❤️
Thanks Grace! THANK YOU for your service as a teacher!
One of the moms on another channel puts her children's clothes on a hanger . Pants shirt and a small zip pouch with underwear and socks . Every morning no need to be looking for things it's all there on a hanger she does this for all 7 outfits. As her children are of different ages she doesn't store any clothes, each bed has a change of bedding kept in the bottom draw in each bedroom. No more untidy closets you are doing great, what are you going to do with all the living space you will have once all the stuff has gone, it will be like walking into a new home.
Fabulous! Keep focused on what you can do. I ask, “What can I do right now?”
It’s helps. 🤩
Oh I like that! When I think of what needs doing, it feels like so much. What can I do now? I like that.
I had many moments like that yesterday. I only two minutes, so I went through a small pile of receipts. Done!
What can I do right now?
Runs over to minimal Mum to see what she’s all about
esther keenan ha ha that made me laugh!!!!
She's amazing! So wise and practical and kind.
The Minimal Mom is exactly what Louisa said. 🙌
You did another amazing job!!! I need to purge clothes too! Especially for my boys. But I don’t know if I can only keep 5 pieces of each clothing... 🤦♀️😂
What a blessing for your friend!!! ❤️
@@FieldsFullHouse you dont have to keep only 5 of each,you can keep more for clothes that are more practical and get rid of some of your fancy clothes for example if you dont wear fancy clothes often or if there are not enough special occasions for these clothes
Yes! 5 was my starter number.
Jessica, you can start with the number you feel is right for you family! I didn’t count dress clothes in their 5.
Really pay attention to which games are really played with and ones you think are cool, but the kids don't actually play with.
