Don't judge me.. EXTREME DECLUTTER 2024 | MAJOR DECLUTTER + ORGANIZE WITH ME | Messy to Minimal???

[@kyliedownes6048]

Hi, I'm new. Just wanted to offer a different way to think about clothing and even other items used for baby. Clothes are not the memory, clothes served a great purpose and allowed you to clothe your child. Kept them warm, allowed them to play etc How lucky are you that you can, and many of us can. I kept certain pieces and also a selection of tshirts to make a quilt. My kids are 20 & 17 now and one day will be given one box so we can revisit those early years. You are doing amazing!!

[@SimplyAlexandra]

Great tip! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@Lynaka1]

The problem I have when going through baby clothes is the memories come flooding back of somewhere we went or something they did when wearing those clothes. Without looking at the clothes, there’s no way I could remember those little events.

Everything we own is inventory that we have to take care of. This has helped me declutter. I want to spend my time doing fun stuff.

[@stephanieswinsonmays8986]

I have 2 girls (5 & 3) and totally get the baby/toddler/kid clothes overload!! I recently did a MAJOR declutter. Donated majority but I also sold on FB resell groups for boutique and smocked kids clothes. Smocked/embroidered outfits are outrageously expensive…and usually worn maybe once or twice plus u need a new smocked dress/bubble/sunsuit for every single major/minor event…so resell groups are my new go to for buying and selling!! I’m in the South (GA) where smocked & embroidered outfits are the “thing” for littles (esp girls!) so not sure if that style is even a thing in FL. But still worth checking out!

[@cajbaf]

You can't get rid of memories. They are in your heart and head. Material things are just that, material

[@Clevast]

It's not easy to let go of clothes, but the clarity and calmness of a decluttered space are so worth it. 😍 Cheers to you for taking on this challenge and sharing it with us! 💚

[@SimplyAlexandra]

Yes! Thank you!

[@gardengirl3142]

After eliminating & donating so far 10 boxes of clutter from my house, it truly inspired me to keep at it! When friends drop by I'm not stressing to move my clutter around! Feels so good! ❤

[@carolynoquinn4573]

The Keepsake clothes i would put in a Memory Box to get them out of the closet.

[@sydneyhanley]

Hi! I love the decluttering videos! I would say that I’m like you I’m not really sentimental but I do have a hard time with my boys clothes. So I have a basket that I put all the out grown clothes into, and once it gets full I go through it keep what I want and donate the rest. I find once the clothes go in the basket I become a little detached from them. For the clothes that I keep I put them in a storage box and once that gets full I go through that, keep what I want and donate the rest. I know it could be a bit of a long process but I find that if I have a limit for their clothes it’s easier for me to not keep everything.

[@SimplyAlexandra]

Good ideas thank you 💖💖💖

[@irenerucker1333]

Hey KZbin bestie😊...you should get a small storage trunk and turn it into a memory box for Forrest❤u can personalize if u want to....u cud do one for each kid u have🥰...in the future they can look back at their things & pics, u can tell the stories that go with each item & possibly give it to them for their future lils to start traditions🥰.....my mom made 6 we love them!!!

[@oliviapetrassi2529]

I needed to see this. I am SO GLAD someone is talking about this subject as a mother. I am currently doing the same thing and its been somethingive been putting off. We have so much clothes from our 2 kids I've kept over the years and it's quite embarrassing from the amount of bins/bags there are. It's funny you mentioned you smell the baby clothes because I'm very sentimental in that way also 😅. I'm going to keep certain items that were my personal favorites and have them turned into those viral 'MAMA' sweatshirts. I'm sure there will be lots of moments of crying during this process but I'm excited to have a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Memories are not in the clothes….they are in your heart. Donating the clothes……don’t you still have the memories. Of course you do. Just think if Forrest was born to a family that didn’t have enough money to buy him nice clothes. You would appreciate so much a family donating clothes for him to be able to wear. You are doing the right thing. The clothes are not helping any little boy if they stay in the closet. You are doing a good thing

When i went through this, Gosh, this was the hardest thing for me to do! My heart broke and was very emotional throughout the process.😢😢 The way you went trough it with such courage is admirable. I can only imagine what your heart was going through. Why nobody talks about these types of situation is beyond me. It's not about the material stuff its about seeing your baby grow faster than you can grasp! Thanks for talking about it. ❤

I love your decluttering videos so much! They have been so motivating for me since I started watching your videos way back. I also have the same problem of holding on to certain things. That's why I do have so much clothes. But I am learning to declutter what does not give me joy. I am slowly getting there and I still have a lot more to do. I am so happy for you! What are you going to declutter next?? I would love another declutter video. I just love seeing your house. It's so beautiful 😍

The good thing we will always have those memories with clothes or not. I did save a few things of when they were babies/toddlers. I have to admit it’s so fun shopping for the little ones. Happy decluttering!

For gently used items, we take them to second hand shops and pick up the next size up. Especially when he jumps two sizes. We bought him sixes at the beginning of the school year and he jumped up to sevens by October. He was wearing fives in August, his sister did the same thing. It is hard to find little girl size 18. We buy Junior small but they tend to be too revealing for a 10 year old.

It's so hard letting go of things the kids had/used. They're so sentimental. You did great and others will benefit from what you gave away. That baby/toddler time is magical so I know that was hard for you.

Great to donate those in need. Me and my sister donate to adult group homes and for children in group homes.

Especially when families don't follow up on care. Or come to us from other states for safety reasons and they need items.

You are definitely not a hoarder, compare to me where I am not but with the amount of stuff I have that is not organised, it looks like I am. I am not surprised with the amount of Forrest's stuff you have because I remember when his baby clothes didn't fit anymore, you asked Chad to pack it and put it in storage for you coz you couldnt do it. I am not a mum but I understand because it is your baby and only baby, a significant event. It's unfortunate but also good that the smell is not in the bag coz that would've made it so harder.
