We moved after 40 yrs of marriage and 30 years in the same house. Your children will not want a lot of the childhood stuff you save. Things like school papers and awards. Old memorabilia. I just took photos of a lot and then chunked it! They were happy and it was amazingly freeing. My granddaughter wanted nothing to do with the “special dresses” I had saved. Donated them. I came from the Deep South where every bride acquired fancy china, silver serving ware and such. No one wants that now. I pulled up my big girl pants and donated it. What is left, I told my children to sell, donate or pawn when I am gone and not to stress over it.

❤ You did an amazing job, Kim! We’ve been in our house for 22 years, and empty nesters for 7 years now. Finally, at the beginning of this year, I started going room to room, to declutter. I have 3 closets left, and I will be done. This video was just the motivation I needed to tackle those last 3 closets. I love watching and laughing with you! You are just the sweetest! 💖 Thank you, for sharing your life with us.

Sorry chiming in days later as a mom of 2 from Italy, I currently live in a big house with plenty of space and both of my kids are under 10, I struggle a lot, I do have the space to store it but at the same time I’m a minimalist at heart (now my husband would not agree with this statement) 😂 I have 2 huge boxes one for each kid for school and awards memorabilia, that has to last all the way through high school. It’s painful to go through every single drawing, artwork or school notebook but we can’t keep it all! At the same time I’m kind of mad with my mom for not keeping ANY of this stuff As a 37 yo who has kids in school I would have loved to see some of my old school stuff and show it to my kids, as with anything they key is balance!

I always employed the black bag trick as well. (my youngest is now 16) More often than not, when I decluttered while they weren't home, they never missed a thing. Except one time- I didn't get the bag out of the house before my son got home, and one of the battery operated toys went off. I will never ever forget my kiddo's face as realization set in and a look of absolute horror and betrayal set in! I never made that mistake again, let me assure you. I still black bagged, but the bags left the premises the moment they were sealed 🤣

I don't know if you're like me, but if I had a cabinet with glass doors, I wouldn't want to see what's inside, from the outside. I would put paper, probably wrapping paper, on the inside of the glass. I would cut it to fit the glass, and use glue dots to secure it to the glass, on the edges, where you wouldn't see them from the outside. Super simple, and you could pick a nice print or a solid, to coordinate with your decor. Idk, just an ide. You could even have Eleanor do it. I bet she would like that. Great job decluttering! You are ruthless! I'm waaaayyy too sentimental.

Hi Kim! Just a suggestion with your candle cupboard, you should move the basket of electrical items into the open section with the wifi box, then you can shuffle the holiday seasons candle box set down with the bag of oils so candle related packages are together on one shelf and there will be more room on the top shelf so you don't have to stack the candles. This creates more accessibility to each candle without accidentally smashing them since they're in glass jars and it will be easier to see which candles you have. Not to mention aesthetically pleasing! You've already done a great job, keep up the great work! It looks so good! ❤🥰🌼🌷🌻🕯🦋💎
