Massive Pantry Declutter (20 years in the making!)
Рет қаралды 255,420
Күн бұрынToday we do a MASSIVE declutter in my mom's pantry...this declutter has been 20 YEARS in the making and we could not believe how much we took out! And of course, after we pared it down, we had to add in some really practical and functional organization. I was overwhelmed at the start but am thrilled with how it turned out!

Or bin it to avoid that job? or spend hours cleaning summat your going to get rid of?? I never know where best to put my time, .......? xx

LouAnn, on God's word, your pantry was not even close to embarrassing. The fact you have so many activities going on, hosting, I would have thought there would be WAY MORE wasted food and way more chaos. You really are quite organized, far ahead of most of us! So gracious to let us see the really fun before/after! May some of us release old guilt-inducing items and food to make room for calm and organization thanks to this video.

Once I started hosting the whole family on holidays, I used crock pots. Each side would go into a crock pot. One each for mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and even carve the turkey and keep warm in a crock pot. Then when guests arrived I could visit with them as cooking and clean up was done.

At age 60 I started to downsize and declutter, I figured if I didn't start now I might not have the ability in 10 years. Long story short I'm 72 now and I live by the: "If I don't wear it, use it, or touch it once in 365 days It's outta here." The system works because everything in my house has to be cleaned once a year in order to stay, so even the highest shelf gets emptied, dusted, decluttered, and then reloaded. So far so good, my system is working for me. Oh yeah, I also do the one in, one out rule that way I'm not accumulating stuff.

I did an overhaul of my mum’s pantry last week too and the oldest prize award went to chocolate flavourings that she had from 1987. I have been trying to help her let go of those for years now, and I can confidently say that she finally said it was time. I’ve been amazed at the emotional journey it has been for her to get old things out of the house. It’s not just “stuff”, it’s memories, emotions sometimes a connection to a point in time that was hard or happy etc. there’s a lot of healing to be had when letting go of old things. And some of the things don’t even seem to make sense, but they’re still hard to let go of.

"It's okay, it hasn't been your number one priority." Those were the most empowering words you said at the end of your video. It validates why it's difficult to keep things organized and under control when we are managing many other things- work, school, children, helping parents, illness, unexpected emergencies, children's sports and recreation activities, holidays, birthdays, projects, plus just the day to day daily housework/ routines/ grocery shopping... the list goes on and on. Hearing those words stopped me, and I had to replay that. Thank you, Dawn (and Mom) for helping us see that it's okay and the path we need to take to make things better!!!!

They lived in the home, land, for 42 years! After 2 dumpsters, 3 garage sales, multiple FB Marketplace sales, she is finished. As for me, each time I left her parents home after helping her, I came home and added more to my donation boxes. I don't want my children to have to rid my home of all my stuff someday. I have been SO inspired by your videos that I am making progress. Please tell your mother to not be embarrassed..we have all been there done that!! What a special gift you have given your mother.

@@helenebennie3961 Good for you! I’m so proud of you even if I don’t know you!! I did the same when I turned 40. I had been in banking and banks were swallowing each other up at a quick clip at that time - and the major bank I worked for was bought by a Chinese banking firm who moved my job to another city an hour and a half away. Because I technically lost my job to an overseas company, it entitled me to a certain amount of money from the government to retrain for something different. It was, coincidentally, the exact amount of tuition (at the time) at my local community college, which meant I only had to pay for books, uniforms, supplies, lab fees, etc. It covered about 70% of my costs to get an Associates degree in a health related program. And my fellow students were wonderful and couldn’t have cared less about the fact I was close to the age of their moms. I highly encourage anyone thinking about it to jump right in like you did!

Mom, you raised some great kids and always made sure your kids/family were well provided for! The pantry was always important for avoiding not having enough to feed your family especially if items were on sale. Nowadays things are so much more available but our generation has a hard time changing the way we shopped as younger parents. So do not be embarrassed, just be jubilant that your children love you so much. I don't have any children but a few of my organizing friends did such a job on my place that I'm not the messy person that I thought I was! God bless you all!

What an inspiration! Tell your mom thanks for letting you share this. You’re a great daughter and you have a beautiful family.

This is by far one of the best videos you have made! I just love seeing where you grew up and how real it gets after years (and decades) being in the same home! People don’t realize when they move over and over that they are given the gift of finding things that get buried! Thank your mother for making the rest of us feel more “normal”! I loved this video and seeing the wedding pics and family times together. What a blessing your parents are and what a beautiful family they have!💞. Many blessings to you all!

When I decluttered my pantry the oldest thing expired in 2008 😆 so your Mum doesn’t have to be ashamed of anything!

I was thinking something similar...only 2013? She's an amateur. 🤣

Two winters ago, after my dad retired, he decided to clean up the chaos of a pantry we had in the basement that my mother has never maintained. The oldest expired item we had was from 1990, and many from the early to mid 1990's. 🤯

The pantry looks great. I love there porch on there house. No judgement,we all have spaces that have gotten messy. It was nice you did that for your mom.

Dawn you are so kind and gracious to let us off the hook when we can't get stuff done, on time (like stay on top of expired food). I love the way you comfort us when we've messed up or been a slacker. God bless you and your precious family, BIG TIME!!!

Your mom should be proud of what she decluttered with you ! Congratulations for that job and thank you for sharing it with us

Thank you, LouAnn, for being vulnerable and letting us see this process! I just completed our walk-in pantry declutter and it was absolutely crazy how much stuff I had in there that I got rid of - 43 full canning jars of old food we were never going to eat and just kept keeping, my husband’s grandma’s china, wedding gifts of fancy bowls and platters, and assorted party dishes that were passed down to me among dozens of misc. stuff. It’s a huge transformation and now has lots of empty space that I intend to keep empty.

Living in England I always have to smile when an American says they used to live in a really small house which sounds just like the normal size of the houses we English live in 😂

That’s so refreshing to see good moms out there. Aspirations. If the only issue my mom had was a neglected pantry, but was a hardworking honorable woman, what a blessing that would be. No judgement Dawn and Diana’s mom!!! Hugs!!!! We all have things to work on, and love the 4 burner theory. Soooo much. ❤️😇😇❤️

I have recently been turned on to your videos and I can honestly say that they are changing my life. I have hauled, and I mean hauled, loads and loads of stuff from my house. In turn, I have deep cleaned and hauled more. I feel lighter, brighter, and more blessed, and motivated to prioritize my whole life along with my home. Thanks for being so comfortable with your truth. I feel like you are an old friend when you share your life.

This looks like my whole house as I began decluttering before we moved from a house we had lived in for 42 years. It truly IS overwhelming and has to be taken one step at a time.
@stephaniechesser902 3 жыл бұрын
It’s so encouraging to hear that you got overwhelmed at first with the pantry because I think of you as a minimalist veteran 😮 so this makes me feel better knowing that you occasionally still struggle at projects but push through to the finish line

Thank you Dawn's Mom for sharing - no shame or guilt because life happens. Looks amazing. Great job letting go of things!
