I can’t declutter this way- I can’t pull everything out, leaving me with a huge mess if I can’t finish. Ever since following Dana White- Slob becomes clean- where you take out one item at a time to make progress - and you either IMMEDIATELY take the item to the correct place or throw away or out in a container that the contents and the container is donated- it’s changed my cleaning and decluttering life .
That's wonderful you found a method that works better for you! ❤️
If I am feeling overwhelmed, Dana’s method works so good! But lately, as things are getting under control here, my add is better, so I am finding myself using Rachel’s method as I maintain the already decluttered areas.
@@michellebeard8066 its getting better, because you are building your decluttering muscle. Good job, keep going, its gets easier over time
Thank you for taking the time to show the actual process and telling us how to think the process through. Thats what I need. HOW to process these items! Thank you!!!
Good, I'm glad it helps! ❤️
I have a small year-round Christmas tree. I hang my cookie cutters on it as part of the decoration - two uses for them!!! When I need them, there they are!
About eight years ago a friend wanted me to make a White House Fruit Cake. It was a very expensive endeavor! Half of the ingredients I never even heard of before and the other half had to be purchased at the liquor store! Well in 8 years, I still have all that liqueur. I even moved it when I downsized. I just don’t know what to do with it, since I don’t drink it. You have just given me permission to dump it out and reclaim a whole shelf in my tiny pantry! Thank you!
P.S. I can only imagine what anyone looking at my trash must think!.....
What a win!! And to have a whole shelf back- that's wonderful!
And your P.S. 😂😂
it gives me great joy to be able to dispose, discard or giveaway something that just lies around but is never used. I feel a sense of joy in donating and also the satisfaction of freeing up space for a better more aesthetic look. A small potted plant also gives life if it is well positioned in the kitchen or living room.🙏
I appreciate how you deliver your message, judgement free and matter of fact. You make me feel normal to be human (not perfect), that is so motivating.
I'm pretty new to your channel. I've noticed people like to tell you what you are doing wrong LOL! Thx for all the motivation. I decluttered some more stuff from my kitchen last night. Going to make another pass thru there today. 👏👏👏
Thanks Diana! Some people are like that 😂
@@Nourishingminimalism I have to say it is rather disturbing to me LOL
Have fun finding your kitchen clarity, Diana!
I am always very sad, when people declutter food and beverages. Food has a best before date, which doesn't mean they are directly bad after this date. Instead of tossing the marshmallows, you could bake a cake or brownies for a friend or neighbour. Reusing, especially food, is always the best option. Hunger is still so present! Lots of Love
marshmallows are not going to solve world hunger
Tsk tsk, it's the habit of overall mindful food consumption Kevin. That was just an example.
@@MsPants1632 i’m anything but an expert on this as I don’t really ever have marshmallows in the house for myself, but I imagine putting them into a glass jar could help. ?
@@beccismith4454 I thought about a mason jar. Maybe I’ll try that. :)
@@kevinmcdevitt804 Agreed! They aren't really food anyway.
I’m the same as you with the reusable bags, so that why I store them in the back of both cars, so I would remember to use them whoever I run an errand at the grocery store. This small change made a huge difference and I bring less plastic to the environment. 🙂
Great job. You are very clear and concise. Enjoyed this video and love these collabs with the other creators.
Thanks so much Beth!
Its nice when everyone contributes on these informative, But fun RUclips channels. By sharing with each other we take what applies to us. 🙂
Very true! ❤️
A whole house decluttering is intense. It’s the whole house but it is fun. I enjoyed your process. The kitchen and the home office...my two biggest challenges.
It is! I'm excited to be in this collab with you Denise! ❤️
Today I culled my cast iron. I kept my favorite everyday pieces and my family heirloom pieces but a lot went. I had way more than I needed in sizes not geared for how I cook. I've already done the kitchen, living, bath, dining, office, sewingroom and guest room. I've got 2 closets and the master bath left. Then I'm sweeping back through!
That is awesome!
I enjoyed your video!! I’m new to decluttering!! I never realized how freeing it is. I’m loving it!!
To see this is action is SO HELPFUL! A great addition to all the watching, listening and reading. Definitely easier to learn from someone who shows humility, honesty, vulnerability- all the real stuff- that real people can relate to. Grateful to have just found your channel. Thank you so very much!!
I use 1 hand towel a day , every morning I get a new dish towel and dry towel, I have 20 lol
Wow!!! How many people live in your space?
It is a nice feeling to hang up a clean towel :-)
I change mine maybe once a week, but I’m usually the only one using them.
Same!
Another amazing video! Thanks so much!
What fun to see how you organize! I'm going through kitchen stuff and I am amazed that I have found better places for appliances and such like. I am really going to appreciate minimizing! I have been feeling dumpy for months but decluttering has tripped my trigger! Life is going to be simpler, for sure!
Thanks for a great tour, Rachel!💕
I am enjoying these decluttering videos! Thank you!
Please consider donating old towels, blankets and linens to your local animal shelters.
Tip on the ginger bread cookie cutters: place them in a ziplock bag and add them to your Christmas bins. In our house at least they come out only during Christmas and moving them out of the kitchen into our storage has been great!
That is a great tip! Thanks!
Just found your channel in Dawns playlist👋
Yay! 😁
the little funnel is used when filling a flask.
Or refilling a spice jar perhaps
Great video thanks for sharing your thought process you were so thorough!
thank u , greatly needed tips for my chaotic house.
A tip of my own: storing items like-with-like is logical for our brains but not as efficient as "work groups" , i.e. keeping together everything u need for a specific job, activity, purpose.
Awesome thanks for the motivation!!! I just finished the Minimalism game and got rid of over 400 items but I still have more to go. Currently decluttering my Monica closet this month.
💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜🌿💜
That is awesome!
May I ask what a Monika closet is???
@@beccismith4454 It’s a messy closet! The Monica Closet is from the Show “Friends” where Monica shoved a ton of stuff in a closet and was keeping it a secret from everyone else.
I'll take the hand towels! I can't have too many of those.
Darling you're amazing, Wonderful video thanks a lot
that's a good benchmark, what's valuable in the sense that it serves us the most, or what we use almost daily, to deserve a space in the kitchen.🙏
Good day. We put plastic store bags in a used Puff's tissue box so they don't take up more space. We reuse the bags in my car for trash, for guests to take thier dirty laundry or thier dirty shoes home, for doggy excrement too. This way we don't have to buy plastic doggy bags & reuse grocery plastic bags instead. I feel better knowing the plastic bags get reused. Our old stained towels are kept for floor spills, dog baths but only a few. Thank you for your informative videos. Your ideas are great.
you could put the cookie cutters, popsicle moulds, gingerbread house kit and other items you only use once a year somewhere out of the way, maybe have a cupboard or drawer just dedicated to those items.
One piece of candy a month ???? WOW 😮 That's a similar level of self control needed for minimalism ...... Speaking as a disorganized packrat who would fail the marshmallow-test 🙈
I have been watching all you wonderful efforts for some time. I have watched all your videos. The clarity you convey as you discuss what goes on in your head as you explain your process and decision making is both helpful and illuminating. You have created such a harmonious family, prioritising relationships rather than stuff. What a young mother you were, (I am an only child and my mother was 45 when she had me in the 60’s) and young grandma you are. Terrific your Sunday dinner prep done together so your younger kids know how. Your family together time, card games and dog grooming was awesome really. Yours skill set wow. The dogs looked so sharp, and lovely manners when they sat for their treat. Mary is so sweet checking out the decluttering to go. You have so little and that you are still going is motivating to me.
Thank you so much 🥰
We wear towels out quickly, so I kept my extras as replacements.
Candy day is an excellent idea.🙏
I enjoyed watching your decluttering and hearing your thought processes as you did it. I’d like to suggest something. That cupboard with the cereal- go ahead and keep items closest to how much you use them. For example, if cereal is used daily, then put it on the top shelf on the side your children are handed (right or left). The things you use less go on the bottom shelf. The cardboard box is hard to get into, maybe cut down a side to make it easier to get into. The granola basket will get messy/spill out quickly because it doesn’t have closed sides. If this makes sense-I hope these ideas help.
Thanks Katie!
I’m with ya on the tea! Sometimes we’ve just gotta let go of the dream. 😆 Great video, love your channel!
Yes! Thank you!
How have I not seen your videos before??? I loved this video! Subscribed 🤩
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
Totally inspiring!! TY so much🌹
Really enjoyed this, thank you
A binder comes in handy if there are too many instruction booklets or manuals for kitchen appliances lying in different places. 🤗🙏
Great job, I enjoyed watching your video.
Thank you very much! 😁
I found your channel on Dawn’s playlist. So glad I found you. New subscriber!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
Omg I love your once-a-month candy day idea! I agree that artificial sugar is almost death to kids because it creates such a bad sweet tooth, amongst the other reasons you mentioned, but taking it away probably just creates resentment and hiding habits. I will try that if I ever have kids :)
Also, I actually respect you for mentioning that drinking tea with your friends is probably just a fantasy self, because that's me right there! Now I have resolve to let go of my mug cup set that collects dust lol
Definitely inspired 👍
Excellent content
Great job! I found you through Denise Jordan! You are very inspiring! ❤️
Thank you so much!

Have you done a another video on updating your recipe binder? I'm decluttering with your videos today!
Not yet! I go a bullet journal for it, just need to figure out how to categorize it, but I'm excited to do it. :-)
My struggle is not living without the things . . . We LIVE minimally. But my struggle is not wanting to sell the extra things, so the basement is full of things waiting to organize and sell ...
Another great and helpful video.😊💖🙏
🥰 Thank you!
I’ve been going through problem areas in my house too! Our biggest problem areas are my kids toys, mine, my husband and our kids books and my paper clutter.
Oh yeah, toys, books & paper can definitely be problems!
You can use the flasks for other than alcohol (water).
I suppose I could, but if I'm not currently using something for that purpose, I'm not likely to use it for it if I keep it.
@@Nourishingminimalism Or the kids might enjoy doing that :-)!
You can also use the mold for jello
Hi! I am surprised you do not use reusable cloth bags. Do not store them in your house. We store them in the trunk of the car so they are accessible to you when you are popping in to a store. When we get home, we empty the bags, and then hang them on the doorknob of our exit door so we take them back out to the car next time we exit the house.
Use the hand towel for dusting rags
Oh man. Those mystery cords! I usually have some idea what my cables go to, but I unearthed one that doesn't seem to fit to anything! I'm so worried that I'll find the device right after letting the cable go!!! 😆 Better to rip off the bandaid, right? Lol
Rachel, you mentioned a life-changing diet 10 years ago? Could you possibly share more information on that?
And reusable shopping bags: a must have in my country so they live in the car - on hand for the shopping ☺️
We did the GAPS diet, it’s grain-free, focused on healing the gut. A quick RUclips/google search should give you the basics. 😊
@@Nourishingminimalism Thank you, Rachel!
Do you make your own sourdough? That would be incredible!
I do!! We all feel better eating sourdough over regular bread. :-)
You can use old alcohol too clean with
Great tips and motivation to continue to declutter.
Question: When I declutter a group of like items, straws, for example. If I put them into a bag do I count each individual straw or 1 item?
I personally estimate a number, because I don't want to count them out, but I do feel like I'm getting rid of more than just one - and I get motivated by counting individual items in my yearly total. :-)
Handcuffs in the decluttering pile..... lol xxxxxxxxxx
You never know when you need to lock someone up! 😂
Very true, lol xxxxxxx
Ha ha ,I noticed that too .....

@@Nourishingminimalism
My brother and I had fun with plastic hand cuffs years ago till he lost the key on holidays 🤣🤣
I was 9 and we were scared to tell our parents..
Lucky they were plastic and popped open .
Childhood memories lol.
@@searlepage4655 😂 Too funny!!
Enjoyed the video. What is the healing diet? Intrigued...
We followed the GAPS diet, it's basically grain-free. If you google it, there is a ton of information. :-)
You can repurpose Halloween candy to the military, homeless shelters, women's shelters, etc, as far as I know. .
I subscribed the moment you said "I got since 1995, when I got married".
🥰 Awesome! Thank you!
Congrats to you in decluttering your kitchen! However, I have learned a different way by putting "like-with-like". Your organizing seems to be very miscellaneous in finding a home for your items. It would not work for me. It's the very thing that got me in trouble in the first place. If it works for you, then kudos for you!
like-with-like is logical for our brains but not as efficient as "work groups" , i.e. keeping together everything u need for a specific job, activity, purpose.
Try it
Hello!
How do I get started video taping my journey? I feel like I am relatable and friendly, and that people could benefit from seeing my journey as well. I have this feeling like I should be recording myself to prove that I'm really doing it! It's happening! 😂
Do you have any tips and pointers that would help me?
Thank you SO MUCH ❤️
Lots of love,
Monica
Just start recording! There are so many how-to videos, it won’t take you much to find them. But record what you’re doing, talk about it and share. 😊
Me running to kitchen to trash some tea I hate( but someone...who? Might🤣🙏
Yes!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can you share your healing diet?
Hi Bonnie! We did the GAPS diet, and the focus is on healing the gut, if you google it, you can find a lot of info. ❤️
@@Nourishingminimalism thank you!
You would likely benefit from grouping like items in those kitchen and breakfast cupboards. You could have "seasonal" bakeware and tools grouped together.
You could also assign placement based on frequency of use. The napkins might be reached for more often than the tablecloths. It looked like placement was mostly or of habit.
Just what I noticed! I intend no harsh criticism because we all are less likely to notice these things in our own homes. :)
I wonder how much space you would gain by discarding the unused portions of sets like your cake decorating kit? Do you use all of the attachments to your appliances?
You just made me realize I have an unhealthy attachment to my appliances!

🖐🏼🙂
I am k8nd of disappointed that you don’t use reusable shopping bags….let me help…..you store them in your car.
I had to stop half way as she doesn’t know what clutter is. Her video is oversold! I have huge clutter! She looks like she has little I would call clutter. So this video is really for people who don’t have much clutter. I’m only sorry I didn’t find out what she suggest for getting rid of clutter. But then, she has so little to dispose of, she shouldn’t find it challenging.
don't drink tea!!!!???!!! Gasps in English!
😂 😂 😂
That's alcohol abuse. 🤣

We are living in a fallen world. What are your idols. Your mobile phone, your ipad and games console. We need to spend some time seeking God instead., This world will fall away soon. Come to Jesus while there is still time., He will never give up on you. He loves you. 🙏
