      If you redecorate, don't keep what you replaced. Give nice items to your kids(make sure they want them, lol!), or donate them. You probably won't use them again.

      We ended up moving out of state and holy cow, did I minimize !! I had so many cook books and cooking magazines .. had them for years - DVDs and CDs , sold a lot online but donated a lot of stuff .. old books, decorations, etc.. sad it took me moving to do this , but so glad I did ! Thanks for this video !! Great ideas and so fun as always ! Just donate or recycle or toss - trust me- you won’t miss it !! I had a friend tell me to take a picture if something was sentimental, that way you have it . Lol I had a lot of old license plates too !! Love your videos !!! ❤️

    As a nurse I can tell you that medications are good way beyond their expiration dates. The worse that happens is the strength may ebb as time goes by. But, pharmaceutical companies love for you to throw stuff out......big money. Same with expired food, to a point. There is good info on this online.

    I just had to comment on the getting rid of (not knowing a better term, prom dresses.) I still have every one of my daughter's prom dresses, plus her homecoming queen dress, that I absolutely know that I don't need but it gives me comfort to look at them any time I want.
    It brings back memories of her as she was killed in a car accident at age 21, now 20 years ago.

    This was excellent! I have had items from 1972 in my medicine cabinet! Good way to deal with old paint is to open and pour in kitty litter and let it soak up and dry up before throwing away.

  • @dawndanelle3488
    @dawndanelle3488 3 года назад +11

    Another good tip for things you want to keep the memory associated with the item is to take a photo of it. That is what photos are for is for memories, so take a picture of that greeting card etc....
    It helps with the guilt associated with decluttering items that hold meaning.

    • @ACharmingAbode

    I have a container with old cards and letters from the 70's many memories, baby shower cards, holiday, etc. I love it.
    Before Covid I would have said to donate your magazines to nursing homes for the residents. You'd be surprised how in need many of those places are, and books too.
    My friend and I switched left over new Christmas cards" for next Christmas, Also a good time to switch wrapping paper too, great idea for the garment bag/wrapping paper.
    Remotes can be donated to thrift stores

    Before throwing out a planner, look through it and see if anything should migrate to the next year. Also, ask yourself if it is a time capsule of the past year. I have several from college in the 1980s as well as some from the 1990s, and love looking through them as it brings back incredible memories of people, places, and events.

  • @pama.6410
    @pama.6410 3 года назад +1

    Great list! Planners are a keeper or at least a lot of the pages are keepers since they are a record of doctor's appointments, meetings, weddings, etc. Relying on things being on line is a problem too. Don't trust technology with things you need.

    After Christmas, our guest room exploded with leftover wrapping, bows, new gifts, and who knows what else lurks underneath the pile! 😬. You’re video motivated me to get cracking with cleaning and organizing! Loved the garment bag/wrapping paper idea, genius! Recently, my siblings moved after over 20 years in their house. You don’t wanna hear or see all they had to go through!! I just have to share this one funny story: my big sis, an avid recipe collector par excellence came across a note she had made to herself (in the middle of the recipe pile) while trying to de clutter. It read, “Left off here. June 2009”! 🤣😂🤣. Good news: she chucked all of them!!

    Two tips, chargers get sticky labels with what it goes too. Also back of tv, labels and before you unplug things take a photo of how it was. Battery operated vacuums, buy a spare so you don’t have to wait on charge. Manuals, if it is online, bookmark it,p or email the link to yourself with description of appliance, etc. I am in the process of scanning my photos and putting in online folders, backing up on CD and store one copy with family or bank safety deposit box. If you have a lot of jewelry necklaces and like certain lengths. Slide pendant off and sell extra chains, just did that for $1,900 and I can just use chains I like for pendants. All I can think of right now.

Turned out to be a young mom I know:)
