I always put a matress cover on the bed and then fitted sheet ir will save your matress

As mentioned in several comments, if you love linen and cotton, you definitely need a steamer-- a portable one is less than $30. Or maybe you could pick one up at a thrift store or yard sale!!!! Forget ironing. No one has time for that, especially someone with 3 children 6 and under!

You and your family have been in prayers since losing your sweet dog. ❤️ the skirt and off shoulder are so cute on you! Great job on the closet! Another great video.

I am fussy about my blouses, but don't want to iron for hours, so...I learned to get a pack of tiny spools of different colors of thread at Dollar General and just take a few tiny hand stitches at cuff seams. Collar points, top of button collars etc. It holds these areas in straight, perfect shape and stitches are invisible. I machine was on gentle then shake or vigorously "whip" tops to get wrinkles out...then button up and hang up on hangers on clothesline or shower rods etc. Works great.

If you have not wore it in the last year --if you don’t like it-- you don’t like the way it looks on you --it’s time to donate it or sell it 😊

Mattress pad is a must to protect your investment. Nice video.😊

Just wanted to tell you that I went on my first big thrift trip today and it was amazing! I got so many nice clothes for my daughter, some books and the cutest basket that she’s going to use as a flower girl in my sister’s wedding. Today we collected flowers and acorns in it. I scored some amazing stuff! So thanks for the inspiration. 😊

I suggest in your close that you remove the bottom shelf, move the rod up and add a second rod under. Hang your jeans then. Put a step stool in there to access the unused top shelves. Have fun!

Glad you and your friend had a successful garage sale! It feels so good to pass things along that you don’t use anymore and make a little money to boot! 🍁

Looks like you had a great garage sale and awesome weather Kristen. Always sending strength to you and your family.

I have a birch too! I want more of there bedding!!!

dang id buy some of those clothes so fast. i wish i lived closer! I love your channel! You are maybe the first youtuber that’s ~actually~ relatable. My husband and I are Christian and he’s currently in grad school and we are the bottom of the food chain haha! Thank you for not changing just because you’re online.

LOVE the painting over your daughter’s bed ,what a delicious moody “in the best way” piece of art .I would love to find one like that for my own home.Kristen you could wear a paper bag and make it look good .Try doing a keep pile and a maybe pile for two weeks before you make any final decisions .I find everything seems easier after a little tine has passed . God bless and have a great week .

Great video, Kristen. As far as your clothing, just be real with yourself. Linen is awesome, but it has to be ironed. Are you willing to do that? Lol I feel it's more stressful to hang on to things you're not sure about... and then have to continually go back and revisit them. I recently completely simplified my wardrobe and it's liberating! I want to wear the clothes I have, not just let them sit. Take care lady and God-bless!❤

Hi, Kristen. What a great video on your garage sale adventure! Your closet looks great...doesn't it feel good to have that project finished? Love Rosie popping in to say "Hi"! I used to teach first grade....love that age!! So proud of you and your friend cleaning out what you could not use anymore and passing it on to someone else. Continuing to pray for your family in the loss of your beloved fur-baby. Let your light shine, Kristen. Greetings from Oklahoma. Jane Greene

Kristen, So good to see you again with a smile on your face! 😊 Great job on the garage sale!!

Rosie is adorable! I love the way she communicates. She’s such a little lady! 💗🌸

Great job! I hope to have a garage sale in the Spring - looking forward to cleaning out clothes also. Love to you and your family!!!

Well, that was fun. Reminds me of when I go through my closet, which by the way, that time has come around again. I am pretty good now about leaving stuff in the "to-go" pile. I used to talk myself back into "but I might need that again" lol. Take care, and thanks for sharing.

I think "retiring" things to sleepwear is such a good idea - I started doing it recently too.

I love your front porch....you are just the sweetest. Bless your heart and your three little girls. 💜

It's so good to see you in this surprise vlog! I can see i'ts been a tough week for you . Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Our lab justpassed two days ago, we had to put her down. It's so painful losing a fur baby. XXOO

Use a steamer or your flat iron you use on your hair. You can also use the flat iron on milar bags to reseal snack bags. I picked up one at goodwill & keep it with my food storage.

So glad y’all are doing better ❤

Hi Kristen. That's what I need to do with my closets Great motivation for all of us. Great video..thank you ❤

Invest in a small handheld steamer, I got one for around $20 at Wal-Mart, it really does cut down on ironing. I am a linen girl too and it works beautifully.

Love your videos. Your simple living is right on

Garage Sales are AWESOME! It's a great way to purge your belongings, recycle and make money. Lindsay is a wonderful friend, so glad you both did well with your sales! 🙌 By the way, y'all looked fabulous in your wedding photo. 💖 Keeping y'all in prayer over Reese's passing. Much love and blessings. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Congratulations on the huge success of your garage sale! I was thrifting yesterday for my fall/ winter wardrobe and I had amazing good 👍 finds! I have tried a few times ( unsuccessfully) to be more minimalist and it's just not me! I am going to embrace the qualities of frugality in the areas I am passionate about & enjoy my clothes! I subscribed to your channel a couple weeks ago & I enjoy your videos so much! Stay well & Blessed

I love the jute rug! Y’all are motivating me to have a garage sale. I just moved and I’ve way more wall art than walls and way more home decor that I could use in my new home.

Wow wish I lives closer I would have defiantly SHOPPED your copper items. Great sale

It seems that the two off shoulders ( blue and peach) ‘sparked joy’ for you- You lit up when sharing them! Go with that when in doubt ❤.

I have been thinking of you and your family since your last video. Keeping you in my prayers🙏

I agree if you have not woren something for quite so e time, move it out. Heres a tip. I always use a mattress pad on my matresses. Helps the wear and tear on the mattress and helos to keep it clean. Just a thought%

You can also use a straightening iron to smooth out the linen pieces!

The button down shirt with blue striped linen -the one with the tie at the bottom is from Costco! I have it and love it! I am a committed ironer.

Such a fun vlog, Kristen! I just cleaned out my closet for the hundredth time.😂🙈

Love the jute rug wow what an amazing price!!

the peach linen top is so cute and can be dyed easily! Do a darker shade of pink, maroon or lilac. its so cute

I think you will need to iron or steam the linen shirts. I used to have an iron and ironing board set up in a room so it made ironing easier. I don't have a room currently to do that but kinda wish I could do that again. It helped.

You have inspired me to clean out! Still praying for your loss! It’s so hard but God will heal your hearts in time.🙏🏻🤗❤️

Hi Kristen, thank you for sharing everything looks nice just an idea I use this thin like velvety hangers they save a lot of space,you can get them at home goods,Ross and marshals or Amazon.thanks again god bless.

Omg. So jealous. I love Bon Iver so much!!! I want to see him in concert one day!!! He is one of my favorites. 🖤

Reese is with our Keisha, our Lizzie, and our Heisman. Father God has them and they are having a ball together. Glad you and your friend made out at your yard sale. We are still waiting for that tour Kristen. ALL IS WELL. SHARED TO THE BURGH

I've never tried it, but my Mother-in-law told me if you spray before ironing with vinegar and water mixture. After a few times of doing this it will not wrinkle anymore. She usually new what she was talking about. Maybe worth a try since you love linen so much.

Do you have a small hand held steamer. I don’t like pulling out the iron either. But you can steam a shirt in mins and it looks as good as an ironed shirt. Amazon has some good inexpensive ones

Kristen keep the black dress you can wear it any wear. Love it on you. Tip I take my linen clothes out after drying for ten fifteen minutes when they are still wet then straighten the color sleeves and hang up wet. Or the day before you want to wear your shirt I have a water bottle and spray wear the sleeves or collar is wrinkled. I love downy wrinkle releaser and a little steamer works too. Rosy so adorable.

Yeah, letting clothing go is very hard! We are still trying for baby number 1! I would recommend keeping the brown skirt and maybe 3 of your midrise jeans, 1 in light, medium and dark wash!

I agree that the light colours wash you out. 🥰

That was a fun experience.

Omg all the copper!! I’m wanting to start a copper jelly mold wall in my kitchen and all those would be perfect 😂

God I love that bed STUNNING!

You can try lightly spraying and blasting with the blow dryer I don’t really iron anything !😊

I love all of your linen pieces! The trade off of them natural fibers is of course, ironing. Try a hair straightener. Maybe that will work for the sleeves and collar area. I do take my time ironing mine hehehe!

It’ll feel so good to purge some of the old and bring in some new! You have beautiful taste!

Hello Kristen your beautiful smile bringing me joy all though it still hard to deal with..It is so wonderful to see you..have a wonderful day.

Love your sale and yes, fun, a lot of work, and your friend help alot 🍂🍁🎃🥰

Sorry for y'all's loss!🙏🙏🙏

You have to iron the sleeves to make the cuffs stay up

I think they all can go. Trust your instincts, if you are showing them and having to justify why you kept them, they need to go. Remember all the beautiful clothes you have 😀Linda

Love the brown skirt and white top

You are very welcome. We felt your pain and wish God’s love on you. ❤️

What a fun video, thank you. 😊 Prayers will continue as your family grieves the loss of your 4-legged family member. ❤️✝️

Nice mattress, will look them up when we replace ours.

I love that whole Sufjan album. Sooo good!

If you have reasons not to wear it these are the things that stop you pulling it from your closet (it’s time to go ) I place tags with use it or loose it so the next time I go through I can see if I’ve used it 😊

Keep the peach! Looked so good

Continuing to pray for you and your family in the aftermath of losing your sweet pup. Thank you for sharing this video and you may have just inspired a closet clean-out! 🙂

I would def get rid of the bottom tie ones some of the items were just too big for you

For the linens you love, you just need to iron them. The black dress is cute (maybe belt it?), but not really funeral appropriate.

Someone told me of a good way to decide what clothing to let go of. After you've worn an item, replace it on the hanger w/ the hook turned backward. If, after 12 months (4 seasons) you still have hangers hooked forward, those are the things you toss. Exceptions are made for cocktail dresses or other things you still like & just don't have occasion to wear for long stretches. I've found this approach gets the job done, so just want to share it.:))

Are you kidding me, you look beautiful! That sweat shirt brings out the color of your eyes. Thanks for the info on Birch mattresses.

Yo quiero todo lo del garage ❤

You are a fabulous person, Kristen. I find if you don't wear a piece of clothing, it's time to part way's. Also linen is definitely a fabric you have to iron and use fabric spray during this ironing process. Closest's also spark joy, when they're coloured co-ordinated. I do like your timber coat hangers in your robe. I remember when you purchased them.😀

Keep the linen! Linen is ageless & you are right - crack out the iron!

Youd love a steamer for your linens - so much quicker then ironing

I love that picture you have hanging above the bed! It’s beautiful! Was it a thrift store find??

I'm super pro-thrifting... But I have stopped at shoes for my daughter. I heard that when they're older and wear shoes a lot, the first kid to wear them imprint their foot pattern. It can then mess with your kids' gait. 💕

Need a mattress covers

So funny your shirt try on! Girlie linen is IT!! Get out an iron once in a while! 99 percent of the shirts are darling! Iron them up and put them together in a special spot and save for special wear. Nothing feels better for a date night or lunch with pals than clean well fitting jeans and a crisp linen shirt! The exception: you are correct peach is not exactly your best color! Rock on!

I need to go through my clothes. If you haven’t worn it during the last 6 months or so, get rid of it. Except for Levi’s. They last forever and are too expensive to get rid of. 😊 Your daughter is so cute! I hope she has a great school year! Sending you guys love. ❤

Kristen!!! Where is the white and beige! What was all that color? Where is the brown sac top? LOL 😆The brown skirt is very pretty on you! Put the levi's in the attic if you have too, even if you gain or lose weight. I also thrift all the time, so I easily will donate something that does not fit my body or make me look pretty. The cost $3 right! Let em go! Our style is always evolving. Just last night I cut 4 inches of my hair into a lob, it only took one video for me to get the scissors out LOL You cheer me up! thank you

So fun! I need a mama to do a garage sale with :)

All the clothes look great on you. Linen needs ironed after washing. The things you say you don’t like is it needs ironing. Cotton also needs ironed to look good.

I love your videos.

Peach is a pretty color on you !

I'd get rid of both blue ones both yellow and the blue dress and a few more of them I think the black dress is cute

This video you said you live in Nebraska I thought you lived in Iowa. Your little girl is adorable. Garage sales are nice to get things done and D clutter but boy they are a lot of work.

Enjoyed.

I had a garage sale every year until I was 60 now I’m 61 and not sure if there will be more 🤷🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🍂🍁🍂🍁

Hi Kristen.Garage sales are alot of work!!It is a great idea !!! Hope you and your friend do well! Have a blessed day!!!😉🌻🦉🦋🍁🌽🥧💛🎃🧡🎃

Keep ‘Em!!!! 👖👖👖👖

Enjoyed ur video.

I think on the same day as you when you told us about your beloved dog, another vlogger was sharing that she just found out that her 28 year old son has stage IV cancer. Throat and now in liver. She reached out to us to receive support and prays for her son…it was heartbreaking 🥲 Prays for this family. Being a blogger is her only source of income so she can it stop must carry on even though she is suffering 😢

I loved the peach one on you!! Your hair looks fantastic!! Also, how’s everyone doing after loosing sweet Reese? Do you guys plan on getting another fur baby?

If you're going to choose linen, it's going to be wrinkled and need ironing. They go hand-in-hand. And if those jeans shorts are about to come back into style, keep them. Did you recoup your money at the yard sale? Make a profit?

That green dress is a Crinkle Cotton or Plisse fabric.

Where’d you get the wooden hangers from?

Have you tried the wrinkle spray?
