Declutter With Me || 2023 Edition || Stemware and Containers ||

[@connieverbeck1110]

Fantastic on all three challenges!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 My moth invasion was never ending. I would take everything out, throw out the moth infested items, store in another room, clean the area, wait reload the shelves. They would be back?!?!? WHAT? So finally I emptied, decluttered, stored elsewhere. Then I sprayed the cracks between shelves and the wall with a vengeance. Waited a week, reloaded. No more moths!! Whew!!

[@nancypeteja6560]

I love that you had a shelf that you didn't have to do anything with because you finally have a system that works!!! 😊👍

[@paulasownpace8684]

Keeping mugs and glasses - wine or water glasses upside down in the cupboard helps them stay clean inside :)

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

As someone who has volunteered at charity thrift stores, I want to thank you sooo much for being such a kindhearted person to wash the items before donating. THANK YOU WITH A BIG HUG!!

[@dominiquewoodward8548]

Well that was satisfying! I had the same problem opening my flask and then I found an opening that I can slide open which allows air flow and then it's easy to open

[@kathymackenzie6763]

You need a tea box . I want one so much. Great job .

[@donnaotto2544]

Now that the bottom shelf is so empty, you could “unstack” the glasses to make it easier to get them in and out. Also, helps with potential chipping. 😊

[@patkern185]

Yes. Sophia, please unstack the glasses. 😃 XXOO

[@donnav]

I was just going to say the same thing 😊

[@mygreatchallenge]

That s too radical a change...give me a few years. Lol!

[@Tinamar65]

The liner will drive you crazy soon… 🤓

[@melindaonamission9511]

I figured they might come out in the next declutter. I only use them in drawers and areas that are vulnerable like if I keep honey there or something. It’s a great concept but if you don’t tack them down , I agree they are maddening.

[@ritaty6181]

I really enjoyed your series when you pulled a piece of paper out of a jar and did that area. I’m so glad to see you back decluttering. You gave me such great ideas and you are so fun to watch. Looking forward to more of your sweet personality and videos.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Thank you so much! I have to make fun of it otherwise it would be a drama series.b

[@tonietteh2015]

I loved the jar series too! That same time, I did it with my house too, pull a task out of a jar .

[@reneereinhardt9669]

If you go to dollar tree, they have very small zip lock in 2 small sizes. I think they would work great for your flavored teas in your canister.

[@bluejay5531]

brava! I just decluttered my teas today before seeing this 😅 I made some gift bags for friends/family tea drinkers with assorted selections because I have too much

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Yay, a shelf that doesn't need tweaking. Always a bonus.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Tell me about it. The ones understeer counter are impossible to move.

[@julmin100]

The thumbnail! 😆😆 That's me juggling my life. I love your channel Sophia. You always make me smile with your honesty. 😊

[@gloriaelswood8762]

Warn your boys about that shelf liner when they get the popcorn bowl down! I could watch you all day! No it doesn’t get my shelves clean but you do inspire me.! I love your thought process!

[@asblinda]

Don't forget to scrape the tape off that second set of cabinet doors. That was easy. I'm ready to go tackle mine. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@badvegan]

I've organized my teas in baggies with the box front in them for years now and kept them in a drawer. It's such a space-saver, especially when you like a lot of different types of tea like I do.

[@melindaonamission9511]

I have a huge drawer full of teas! I keep telling myself I am on a tea buying freeze but then I buy more! I will post a picture in the Patreon group. Such a fun place! ☕️

[@PASwiftUTube]

I love your declutter videos. Long or short, they are great. 👏

[@donnav]

I think you are decluttering the way it works best for you and that’s great. I have been watching your channel for years now and you seem to have a much easier time letting go of things and you have way less on your cupboards than you used to. It seems like you are finding out what works for you and making it better all the time. I remember a video years ago when you were trying to declutter your CorningWare and you had so many different patterns. Now you have only your favourite..beautiful collection!

[@sandracollins7938]

You did it again only better!! Love watching you declutter in any room.

[@RaeInTime]

Great video! Thanks for going through your thoughts on each item...it's very helpful👍🙂

[@mygreatchallenge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MsArtistwannabe]

I love your decluttering videos. Very motivating. So many tossy tossy.

[@danagarza2844]

I was watching your one box challenge earlier today from when you filmed in Aug. You had done this cabinet, so I'm watching this and thinking this all seems so familiar and then I figured out why 😂😂 Totally forgot I had watched the other video earlier!

[@carolbabb7875]

It's a great time of year to declutter in the kitchen, rotate the pantry and freezer, and do a bit of cleaning after the holidays. I've been going clock wise to keep track and doing it as can so I'm not overwhelmed or wind up with a mess by doing to much at a time. My next is to take apart the range hood and clean it.

[@bethstratton3391]

I love your chit chat declutters, Sophia. I remember the last few times that you decluttered your kitchen, it looks like you have far fewer items in your cupboards these days. The liners make a difference I think too.

[@karenrutter7257]

I keep all my glasses and coffee cups upside down like my mom did, but my daughter keeps hers right side up. It’s interesting to see what other people do.😊

[@melindaonamission9511]

Me too. Upside down.

[@sherrygantt2158]

It is nice to know. Things can get done. Even in limited time. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@NormalnotNormal1234]

Sophia, I did the same thing with my tea, I took them out of the boxes and put them in a baggie with labels. Space saver for sure...

[@trudysmith2271]

Sophia, I love the chit chat declutters. While I was listening and watching you, I was decluttering in my kitchen. Thank you for the motivation!

[@debrtx]

I have a small kitchen and have a challenging time with spice containers and assorted teas. Thank you for the inspiration. Going to tackle the teas.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Spices coming up on friday!

[@sarahconner8287]

Enjoyed watching 😊❤❤❤

[@melaniekennerley6401]

If I have a chip in any glassware I file it down with fine emery paper or nail file . Works for me.

[@AZHITW]

Me too, can't see replacing something just because of a small chip.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

@@AZHITW I have a hard time with that too! I can think of at least three dishes I have that are chipped and can’t seem to throw away 🤪

[@angelaclay5064]

Sofia, I’m doing this with you!!! Yes this is our year!! You have made progress!!! I know this because every year I do “this” with your videos playing. Love you!!! ♥️💯

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Nice & neat now! Great job@

[@dcn9550]

You've done well, Sophia. Remember when you had a big vanity JUST for your makeup palettes, lipsticks and nail polish! 😊

I love decluttering but lately haven’t been in the mood BUT watching you has me back on my feet! I also enjoy your chit chat!

[@mygreatchallenge]

I'm so glad!

[@jennyjenkins877]

Job well done! I'm glad you adjusted the shelf to work better for you. That shelf liner looks like more trouble than it's worth though.

Thank you, Sophia!

Great videos here and on Patreon wonderful content and community !

[@mygreatchallenge]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@amandar2821]

I’m curious what you and the fam think about the shelf liners. I hate them because you can’t slide anything in the cupboard. They also make it more difficult to clean.

[@Saforra99]

Thanks for a nice video! I was thinking the same thing -- are they helpful or actually annoying? As you were putting some things in it looked like you were used to sliding them in and now with the non-slip liners that doesn't work (e.g. with the stacks of glasses + popcorn tub). Is that turning out to be a good thing or would vinyl(? stick on?) liners be better -- or just leave it as the wood? :) Just a thought. Cheers from Germany!

[@kimberlymiller655]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@freshnewday]

Thank you for the insipiration and encouragement!! I want to warn you about those liners. They might make an awful stuck on residue on your wood cabinet shelf that is super hard to remove. I would recommend removing them. Hope this may save you a hassle later.

[@shellyleach3377]

Loving your decluttering series Sophia!! I had the Canister set you have your teas in. It was a wedding gift back in 1981. Keep up the good work!!!

[@artladybluntzer4112]

When your plastic containers are used for foods that "stain", add a few drops of dawn + a dish cloth + about a 1/4 cup of warm water. Apply lid and shake the container. It will get rid of 98% of the stains.

[@carolbabb7875]

A quick spray of non-stick prevents most stains and is much easier to clean. I just learned that tip not to long ago. Works very well for any red sauce if short on a glass container.

Slow and steady decluttering! I love it! Very manageable but I have a huge problem with baby steps. I am an all or nothing kinda girl. LOL I need to change that mindset this year for sure. I am so looking forward to the interview with Willie on Patreon! The ones with Edward and Scott were just wonderful! I love getting to know the men that share your house. :o) Can't wait!

[@A-couple]

Let go of the popcorn bucket the kids can use a bowl 🍲 just sayin. Also DONT BUT ANYMORE TEA bags unless you use ALL of the ones you have so you can save $ and not be wasteful.

[@mygreatchallenge]

The boys love the popcorn bowl. It fits all the popcorn from. One batch and keeps it warm.

[@cathyreeves3784]

For a tea drinker that’s hard to do. I always tell myself I have enough tea already, don’t buy more and next I’m standing in the store tea aisle looking to see what’s new and different!

[@cyn5490]

If you drink wine so rarely why not just use your crystal? No judgement just an idea.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Because I can t replace my crystal. It s a discontinued Waterford pattern. I would be heart broken if one broke.

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I kept the nice stuff for some reason but never used them. When I finally realized what I was doing, I was saying to my guests that they weren’t good enough to use my belongings. But, I have my own issues with decluttering things so ain’t no judgement here! 😂

[@dorisw5558]

Does anyone know why unused glasses go grimy in the cupboard? Happens to mine as well.

[@mygreatchallenge]

I believe there are particles from cooking in the air most time in the kitchen and when you open the doors it s like a vacuum sucking them in. If they were in a cupboard that does not get open often, they probably would stay cleaner. Also I don't see the cupboards as being air tight. So it might be that too. I sure know they did not go in dirty...but proof we don't drink wine though. Lol

[@dorisw5558]

@@mygreatchallenge It might be air flow. I just noticed that it mostly happens to my wine glasses and they’re stored in a living room cupboard far from the kitchen.

[@mygreatchallenge]

You know I actually thought about this. I wonder if it s on everything but we only see it on glass because it is clear. Could it be that the soap residue becomes tacky and so dirt sticks to it. My large curio is air tight, I don't have that problem. I though maybe it was oil and bacteria growth from handling them but the dirt is on the inside. Proves to show how we need air purifiers in our home.

[@umaimanajami4133]

Do you add honey or sweetener to your tea?

Are you serious about different wine glasses for different colors of wine? I'm sorry, that just hit me funny. I've never heard of the rubber band idea before. Thanks, that will be really helpful.

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yes. Different wines require different shapes to hold in or release essences. Some you twirl some you don't. Personally I don't care I ll drink wine out of a solo cup
