Decluttering My Mom's Kitchen pt 1 | Rebecca Spencer

Hey hey y'all! Alright so, first of all, sorry it's late, we had a family emergency, but we are decluttering my mom's kitchen. It's definitely going to take a couple parts, I mean this one section is almost an hour-long video. It's so much stuff to go through, we're having to sort it between different piles, we're having to see what family members what, just a lot of digging through and sorting. If you're reading this, this is your sign to declutter just ONE space in your house. Doesn't matter what it is, or how big or how small, just one little section. Maybe it's an area you've been wanting to tackle, just do it! I know it's a lot of work. But we got this, we'll do this together! One area at a time!

I’ve been doing Swedish death stuff the last two weeks. I am a very organized person and love doing this stuff. I’m 75 and there is no way my husband would put anything in those little drawer containers. 🤣 i would suggest donating at least half the stuff out of each little container. I saw my husbands sisters (6 of them) fight over junk! Dad isn’t going to throw birthday parties or family dinners. Get rid of way more. One guy doesn’t need 5 bags of dental stuff! Good luck and keep up the good work I’ll pray for y’all 🎉❤

[@camillehines2269]

Put your silk flowers in the shower and wash them off. It is great when families can get along during this process. My husband and I both lost both of our parents in the last year and half. It is a very hard process but both of our families got through it with no arguing🙌🏼

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Thank you so much. And yes it truly is a blessing. I'm so sorry for both of yalls loss.

[@lucindanease8210]

Love that your videos are not uppity. So many cleaning videos are with these fancy houses with the marble countertops and hardwood flooring and expensive decorations. You and your daughter are so down to earth that us common folks can relate. Just one idea. Maybe put labels on bins and boxes to help you and your father locate things easier.❤️

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Awe thank you yeah definitely not uppity over here. Don't get me wrong though I do love those uppity esthetics for sure. Goals to work towards. But it will be done on a budget for sure. I'm very thrifty. I like bougie things for sure but attitude wise I will always stay true to my roots. I'm just not an uppity person and I didn't raise my kids to be either. And yes absolutely i definitely need to label things that will help my dad for sure.

[@Imperfecthomemaking]

I started watching you last week and I didn’t know you were mother and daughter. I thought you were sisters. It was very enjoyable and I love the way you laugh a lot and you get along so well it’s so sweet. I’m watching you today and enjoying you two. I’m sure your dad feels bliss to have you help him. God bless you.

[@Tyramoone]

I lost my mom almost 6 years ago and my dad a few years before that. It’s hard. The emotions sneak up on you out of nowhere for seemingly no reason at all. It’s normal. It does get less frequent but I’m guessing it never really goes away completely. I love your channel and binged all of your videos!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Right I don't think it will ever go away. But as time goes on you seem to handle it better. I'm glad you are enjoying our videos! 🩷 we enjoy making them for sure!

I do understand where you're coming from and how hard it is. It was an honor for me to help my parents. I too moved on with them to help them. My dad passed from cancer on 2014 we lost my mom in 2020 due to COVID. I am blessed that I was able to help them and would do it again for any family member. Prayers to you and your family. It's hard

[@jennyjenkins877]

You don't just have a lifetime supply of some items, you have a generational supply! Your mom must have been so amazing to host and feed so much family every week. You both did a wonderful job and it's fantastic that the air fryer has a good spot now.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

My mom is bed ridden and I'm her caregiver as well as my dad who's helping as much as he can. Dementia had made her a hoarder and for the past two years I have been trying to declutter and get rid of things the more I can, because I'm honestly afraid that once she's gone I will want to keep everything!!!

[@cathyblackhall5237]

You two do look so alike, thought you were sisters too.A tip,lots of people,like me,who watch decluttering vlogs like hearing the reasoning behind what to keep,get rid of etc rather than the music whilst you are doing it and maybe a bit less talking at the beginning to balance the time

[@zoëavy]

My mom used to put a dot of nail polish in all her Tupperware... We all knew whose is it!!!

[@RhodaShipmanPresents]

I lost my dad when I was 27 and my mom when I was 31...it was SOOO hard for me to go in and clean out their things after they passed-my husband and I actually had to have friends come in with us to help us and encourage and support us in it. Also we took those certain little things that were very sentimental for me. It's been 27 years since my dad passed away and 23 years since my mom passed away and I think about them every single day....You both are doing a great job together, it's really nice that you have each other.

I am new to your channel and am loving your videos about cleaning out your mammas things. You are being so respectful of her and your dad’s things. Most people would rent a dumpster and just get rid of it all. And you recognize that your mamma was a hoarder, but you identified where it came from. We can learn so much from this. Keep up the great work! Thank you for keeping it real.

Top of cabinets! In the old days when newspapers were everywhere, I folded them to fit. You could just carefully fold them up and put in the garbage. Maybe parchment paper would work.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

That's a great idea thank you 😊

[@brendamontanye9877]

you're doing a great job! I'm thinking some labels for the containers? or even just on the inside of the cabinets? My memory isn't enough :)

You might consider storing the light bulbs etc inn the laundry room maybe in baskets to free up cabinet space for kitchen itens

[@rebeccaspencer718]

I'm so sorry. I'm not looking forward to when it's my dad's turn. My fear is the alone feeling I feel will be there without at least one parent still alive . To be alone with no one to call on. It's a weird feeling I don't know how to describe completely.

[@lauraricci611]

It's either a pill cutter or perhaps a hinge to a toilet seat. When you don't know what something is, throw it out. You won't miss it.😮

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Very true. I definitely agree

[@sandyhansen]

You are doing great!! Keep up the great work. Little by little. One thing that I swear by now is a medium size Battery Daddy. I used to have all the batteries in a plastic container and a couple years ago I tried it and wow - you know what you have and what you need. So much easier. You’ll thank me later if you pick one up. Hubby even likes it which he’s 79 so he hates change. Lol. Keep up the great work 😊

Big job. Congratulations in taking it on. My parents, in mid 90's when Dad passed away a few years ago. Mom still lives at home, nearly 98. We "kids" are all retired, in our 70's, homes full, even downsizing ourselves. Most things as I declutter Mom's will be donated. Few items are wanted, needed by us 5 kids...well, 4 now. We lost my oldest brother suddenly in March. Life goes on....

[@rebeccaspencer718]

It really is a big job everyone will have to face one day. Yes most of her belongings will be donated as well. We can't keep everything definitely don't need to. 98 wow. That's amazing. People just don't seem to live that long anymore. You are definitely blessed to have had them here as long as you have and to still have your mama.

I enjoyed your video. I recently lost both my parents, they passed within two years of each other. The house fell to me and my two sisters. We knew what we were in for because my dad was like your mom. Kept everything just in case. It was so difficult. We cried all the time. It took us months and about 3 or 4 dumpsters. Plus boxes and boxes to Goodwill. We also tried to help them but they would never hear of it. One little piece of advice, don't keep the refrigerator handle. That's how it all starts, by saying it's still good and we may need it someday. Let it go, unless your dad says otherwise.

To wash the artificial flowers/plants, put warm water in the wash tub, bathtub, or sink and add dish soap to the water.

You could get your dad some nicer looking containers for his stuff that is sitting on top of the counter. Would look nicer & more organized. Enjoy your organization & new to your videos. So nice of y’all to do this for your dad & since you’re living with your dad it will give y’all peace of mind & as you said refreshing. Another suggestion, get an inexpensive label maker & put labels on the containers so when someone is looking for something you don’t have to pull out the containers to see what’s in them (the ones you can’t see what’s in them).

[@rebeccaspencer718]

I would absolutely love to. But he is a creature of habit and could care less about esthetically pleasing items. Nor spending money on what he sees as unnecessary. He has used that thing for as long as I can remember. Like I was a little kid it has always been on the counter. It's gonna stay for sure 🤷‍♀️. But I get it. It's definitely an eye sore but it's his and he is happy with it. It doesn't bother me.

Buying multiples Of things you don’t need You girls are doing great. I’m sure your dad appreciates you both So sorry about your Mom🥲 I too lost my best friend Karen from Florida 🌴💕

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Very true about the containers. At this point we are trying to use and reuse what we have. In time we will invest more in more organization once we know what we are left with from decluttering. I'm sorry you lost your friend.

[@Nadias_Nook]

How much (%) would you guesstimate that you keep, donate or trash ? I’m also in the process of decluttering and I feel like I am still keeping too much. Some of the things I have not used for years, or have duplicates, and some I feel like I’m just putting in another place knowing full well that it all needs to eventually go ! 😮 Thanks for your videos, they really help to motivate me to

[@rebeccaspencer718]

I completely understand. I thing from the get go we are probably keeping bout 50% divided between everyone. And the rest trash or donate. One thingbi love about decluttering is one time you do it and you keep alot and then like a year or so later you declutter again and you tend to find yourself thing why in the world did I save this. But you know what. At that moment in time it still ment something to you. You still had and emotional attachment to it and that's ok.. grief is a process. And not one to be rushed. It will last a lifetime. Emotionally you will know when you can declutter certain items. Start small don't go crazy. Baby steps. We can do this together when you're ready.

Hi, pop your plants in a plastic bag with a spoonful of sugar. Close the bag (or hold it closed around the stems) then shake!!

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Great idea!! Thank you

[@sherrygantt2158]

Always look at everything. My dad had money in pockets of his clothes in the closet. Flip through the books too. First time watching. Let your emotions out. I am sure all your subscribers will be right here to comfort yall.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Absolutely. That's the one thing she asked me to do was please look through everything. Then you can do what ever you want with it. It's just stuff. So I promised I would! 😊 thank you for your kind words!

There is a spray you can purchase for cleaning the artifical plants. I believe I got mine at Home Depot. It worked great on my sons artifical trees.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Good to know! Thank you

[@Robug44]

The older you get the more you lose.

[@LinseyHood-r6x]

when my mum died it was a bit stressful going through all her stuff but it was also like a treasure hunt because she had so many different kinds of thngs...

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Yassss a huge treasure hunt. It's been quite fun at times and all the memories that certain items would trigger!

[@Jess-xh6jn]

Put some parchment or wax paper above the cabinets after cleaning. Next time it’ll be easier to clean since less surface area will be exposed.

[@rebeccaspencer718]

Great idea

[@sheilarowan8664]

Just spray my flowers with any grease removing spray and wash them under the tap ❤

[@rebeccaspencer718]
