I came across a quote that is something along the lines of "Nothing turns you into a minimalist faster than having to clean out your family home." I had to clean up my family home twice. It has changed me forever. It is such a gift you and your mom are giving to your loved ones. Happy Mother's Day to you both and savor your time with each other- you are so blessed ❤!

Yes so true I just had to make a trip to another state for family check in and the state of both my parents' homes (divorced) left me in such a state of terror that I literary threw up knowing that very soon this overstuffed hording situation will be left for me to have to deal with X2 because my sister is someone who never helps with anything that is actual work. I have been decluttering my stuff for several years because I don't want to leave my kids with a mess I really wish my family weren't so selfish, but they refuse to let anything go and it's just gross now!

This is the style of Q & A's that I like - where the questions are all gathered ahead of time. I don't watch the ones that are presented "live" and you're watching someone while they scroll and try to read incoming questions. Live ones are too time consuming and not that interesting. It's always nice to watch you and your mom together. Great tips as always. TY

Burden is such a good word to describe how we feel keeping clutter. When you feel that you have to keep certain things it does feel like a burden. If we have to clean and maintain things it’s just extra work that I don’t have the energy for. For Mother’s Day the best thing I could receive is help decluttering my home.

My husband and I are downsizing to a smaller home. We are a few years younger than your parents and love our home but it’s just a bit too big for what we need now. We have lived here for 23 years and probably made 5 times of what we paid for it. The biggest reason we want to move is just so we have less work to maintain. We have a pool in our current home and a bigger yard to look after. My husband is meticulous about our property and spends much of his time looking after it. I want him to be able to enjoy his retirement and not feel forced to work all the time. Our new home has a much smaller property. We will pay a maintenance fee which will look after our lawn and driveway. As we’re in Canada and we can endure harsh winters he will not have to shovel a three car driveway. It’s a lot even for younger people but when you get into your 60’s it’s just too much. If we lived in California we might think differently. I love my current home but look forward to going into my new home with much less clutter and more time for the two of us to spend together.🥰🙏

The hardest thing for me wasn't an item, it was being honest with myself. I had a bunch of cookie decorating stuff. I hate decorating cookies, but felt it was required as a mother. I had decorated cookies with my children and then grandchildren. I gave it all away and felt relieved. Decluttering gave me permission to figure out what I like to do and how I want to spend my time.

That’s why they have the chairs to take you up stairs, which I had to think about when we moved to NC and bought a 2 story. Not there yet but it’s always in the back of the mind. Because your right we bought our house and paid cash for and now if we down sized it would cost more.

The hardest thing for me to declutter was school yearbooks. Hubs and I both had yearly annuals from 8th grade through college. Plus he had yearbooks for every year he taught school and I had most of my mother's yearbooks. They took up two whole shelves in the bookcase. We just couldn't get rid of them even though we never looked at them. Then we had an unfortunate kitten diarrhea incident that left no book untainted. It didn't take much to decide just to toss them all. I've had a twinge or two of regret over the loss of the college annuals, but overall it's a relief to not have them lurking unused (weighing a ton!) in the bookcase. I'm soooo much happier having the space for other treasures on those shelves! Really, after that, decluttering was a breeze! 10/10 highly recommend! Love when Kathy joins you! ❤❤❤
@shannontorrens1 2 ай бұрын
Oh No! Sometimes when something breaks I tell myself it's the universe saying it was time to declutter that item. Speaking of yearbooks that was a hard one for me to declutter too. I ended up saving one and cut a few pictures out of the other yearbooks. But the good thing is this has stopped me from buying all the elementary school yearbooks that our kids' school sells every year.

When it came to trendy clothes and we were buying for the new school year, we told the boys we allocated so many dollars to their clothing and had a list, shoes(runners), t-shirts, jeans, if they wanted the more expensive sneakers, they would have to come up with the balance of $$. Yes, they also had ways to earn extra money. When shopping I sat in one spot and they would go pick out the shirt etc they liked and would model them for us because parents have the final say. ❤

I really like your plan for your kids homework! I believe that the hours a child already spends in school is enough and when the bell rings at the end of the school day, the child shouldn’t have more homework hanging over their head but should be their free time for play and creativity and definitely shouldn’t cause friction between kids and parents!
@shannontorrens1 2 ай бұрын
OMG, I agree with this so much! I don't think there should be homework. They are in school for 6 hours and that is enough. This is why I don't let the homework destroy our home time and parent-child relationship. I have talked to my child's teacher about this and she knows how I feel and is willing to work with us. They send home 16 pages of homework that is meant to be done in 4 nights! I think it's too much even if it is "easy".

We moved our bedroom downstairs & keep the air upstairs at 85 during summer. I’m in FL. I put a heavy curtain in the stairwell on a shower rod. 😁

We left our 2500 sq ft home because the maintenance became too much work (yard care, snow removal, gutters & roof, etc) We LOVE our 950 sq ft apartment, and have never looked back with regret. Less stuff is more freeing. Also- intentionally living smaller feels satisfying.
@clairebibby4519 2 ай бұрын
The downsizing problem is similar to the UK, as I have tried in earnest to support my mother either to declutter and then sell her home but because smaller homes are just as expensive as her one large home, she is keeping the stuff!! Even though it takes over her home and most of her spare rooms. Keep up these great declutter videos, they inspire me to declutter more.

I really like the two of you together. 😊You both are so inspiring and it's fun to laugh with you. That dress story is really relateable. I think it is a great idea to give away or change clothes you don't use anymore, but sometimes it does not work out as planned. 😅 If you have an outside area that need some cleaning it might serve as a cloth if you don't sew Barbie clothes or something. 😊 The most struggles I have is with photos and emails. I finally did a folder in my mailbox for advertisement emalis from shops I like, they all get automatically sorted in there. If I actually need to buy something I look in it and see if there is a sail on for example sheets. If not, I wait and check during some weeks. The best thing is that those emails don't clutter my inbox and that I can empty the whole folder in one click. 😊 I wish you all a lovely summer! ❤

We have a 15x20 Storage Unit and everything we have left will be in there for now... I even decluttered from it on a visit and decided I didn't need some of the seasonal decor I had!!

Hallelujah you don't have stuff on your refrigerator door anymore! It's so triggering when I visit someone else' s house and they have crap (sorry) hanging on the fridge. I have NEVER put anything on the fridge because I find the visual clutter to be overwhelming and distracting from the cleanliness and organization of an otherwise clean and clear room. And Shannon, I admire you for your sticking to the confines of your space as the indicator of when you have 'enough'. Many people falsely believe that their space is too small when the reality is that you have too much for your space if you "need" to put things in a different room, a bin or basket. Your space dictates how much is enough, and when you've filled that space, then you need to stop and get rid of things, not find new places to put them/hide them.

Also love your repartee when working together. Enjoy watching all your videos, you are inspiring both for organisation and personally.

Photos- I broke down and bought the Plustek Photo Scanner from Amazon ($199 now). I had scanned a bunch with a flatbed scanner but that is slow going. The Plustek is life changing. Super easy, fast, and great image quality. The software lets you enhance the resulting electronic image if you want, which I’ve done for a few old photos where the paper photo quality was really bad. I would definitely recommend for big scanning jobs.

I laughed so hard about the Frankenstein dress! I've done the exact same thing and the result is Nobody wants it.

Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers! I’ve done a lot of decluttering and the biggest change for me is that I think much more carefully now before I buy anything. I usually don’t really need it! I loved this video so much. I’m going to watch it again tomorrow! Happy Mother’s Day to both of you! 🌹 🌹

I see you read Marian Keyes. She's great. As usual, I really enjoyed watching the two of you. Your mom is so open and willing to tell us the stumbles she had on the way to where she is now. Oh, and she's gorgeous as is her daughter.

Thank you Ladies! Let's talk about resources for getting rid of things. We have some resale shops but with so many folks delcuttering, they have become more selective. I also want to find out about more textile recycling. There are days I just want to fill up garbage bags, throw stuff out and let it be someone else's problem but I just can't! Thoughts?!
