My 4yo came in while I was watching this and said, “Wow, she’s so pretty!”❤️

[@cozychaos9021]

Your look of horror at the discovered cup! 😂😂😂 So relatable.

[@livlaughluv823]

When you used the kids play dustpan to sweep up crayon dust... I felt that.

[@estopesto2647]

I want to watch every episode but also don't want this series to stop 😂

[@BengeFamily98]

We have five children, three of the five are married. We have a teenager and a nine year old still at home, and we homeschool also. I only have one nine year old that has bins of matchbox cars, Legos, etc... That one child overwhelms me with the clutter. You my friend, are a rockstar. 👏

[@prov3rb3126]

Use pictures on labels for kids who can't read yet.

[@tinasmith7587]

Will you please do an update video in a few weeks or months on how this new organization is holding up? Great job love the final outcome!

[@Mmm72616]

Definitely off topic but I love the music in your video. Would love a playlist

[@bandedgorJESS]

I’m curious where the kids are at during this? I have 4 kids and it’s pointless tackling big projects like this with 3 toddlers following me around 😑

[@jwright7948]

Any mom that would judge the sippy cup sits on a throne of lies! Lol great job! Remember with kids stuff: function over beauty.

[@elizabethweiter8010]

Suggestion-I have also struggled with the junk of Happy Meal toys, I go through the build up of those periodically and I donate them to my kids school for their prize bucket, they are always super appreciative, something that might be worth inquiring about at your local school.

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

As a teacher...great as a Mom...Noooo!!! I don’t want it coming home for me to declutter. Students often enjoy experiences at school vs getting things.

[@Rebecca-ld9mu]

Yes! My treasure bin is mostly stocked with little toys my sister declutters. It's such a help with incentives!

[@kmeevd]

I keep a small bin of them in the car because if they get left at the park I dont care

[@sarahjones5425]

Great job! Suggestion. Remove the black console table. Store the camera equipment in the white shelves in your bedroom. *tip: removing furniture will help reduce the possibility for clutter*

[@aprilstar33]

Good job! An idea for the labels on the toy bins are to take a picture of the toys and put the picture as the label.

[@cherylrobinson517]

Wow, I didn't think it was "bad" to begin with...but Now it looks so much nicer😁

[@BrightPolarStar]

I’ve really been enjoying these decluttering videos. On the one hand, they give me a bit of anxiety, but on the other hand, the results are very satisfying. Well done and good luck going forward!

[@vernettegilbreath2353]

I've watched several of your videos. I homeschooled my children and know how demanding and challenging it can be to manage academics, homemaking, discipline, various interests (including my own), and marriage. I've heard you defending and explaining yourself in some of your videos and I just want to offer a kind and encouraging word...YOU'RE A GOOD MOMMY! I can see how serious you are about your children's overall development. Here's a virtual hi-5!!!

[@awoabib8130]

I'm really enjoying this series. Had the same journey last year and made a world of difference to our home and buying/spending habits. Congratulations you and your family will benefit greatly.

[@LadyH903]

Wow! I'm super impressed! This was such a fun series to watch. Thanks Angela!

[@knowthatgirlnextdoor]

I have so much respect for you for doing this! Tackling these things is haaaard and it's super inspiring to see you just go for it!

[@lindaneuhaus1026]

Yes it is my two youngest girls. Ugh. Their room is always the worst for me. Lol..

[@jessiepatterson9433]

This has given me some motivation to clean out our school room and play rooms. Hopefully I’ll get those done this week! 💪🏼

[@anasky00]

Absolutely love decluttering/organisation videos!! I volunteer at a children's home and we rotate the toddlers toys and it really helps them stay interested on them!

[@cassmhb]

Well done!!! So satisfying. Thanks for sharing. Inspired to tackle a few areas myself.

[@mariekedehoogh-vantol1537]

I’ve come this far in your decluttering journey and just had to stop to write you a comment. I applaud you for doing this huge job. You are one awesome mom, showing the real life, and you’re so funny! Pat yourself on the back (and enjoy your beauty products 😉), you truly deserve it. 😘 from the Netherlands

[@vickicrawford7155]

I admire you so much. 8 children and you still go strong. Has to be so much love in your heart

[@carlaberglund4378]

This needs to be said you go girl! You were touched with the spring cleaning bug early this year. All I am touched by is the thought of starting. It always gets worse before it gets better. I bet you feel really happy with all that done.

[@mackenziepochepan8285]

You are so remarkable! I’m loving this series, such incredible progress ❤️

[@loulouloopy28]

These are fab, I found the digital declutter especially useful. I never thought of clutter on your phone on laptop. These are giving me so many ideas, for cleaning up toys and handling my tutoring student's books and equipment. Thank you from the UK!

[@funnygirl3444]

I don’t know how u do it!! Kudos to u!! I’ll bet your husband really appreciates u being such a dedicated family woman. Love your videos!

[@Ak-ge8iz]

You can never declutter toys enough!! But putting them away and pulling back out after 1/2 or 1 year works wonders too!!

[@kaitlindawe8066]

Alina K. My mother was an ece and it’s actually really good to change out the toys every other month ! It’s like all new toys! I do this with my biys

[@NaturallyBrittany]

Props mama! 👏🏼🙌🏼 Watched the full declutter while I was folding laundry for our family of 6 this morning. ☺️☀️

[@svet_kv]

Such a nice room! Love the way things are organized!

[@lynnefox6089]

I love how you said don’t judge about the milk and all I could think when you found it was, “Oh no! Oh poor girl!! Oh honey I’m so sorry!” And then I gagged with you. Kids are amazingly sneaky! No judgement!! Love your declutter videos ♥️

[@Katie-fv6ej]

Yeah I wonder if it was a "was putting stuff away and forgot that was in my hand" moment or a "hmmm wonder what will happen if I put this where it doesn't belong? Will mom or dad find it"? LOL when my brother was a baby he was totally the second one. My moms motto was " help me keep him alive for another year"! he loved testing various dangerous things from the second he could crawl, kids are definitely sneaky.

[@denisegwenauthor]

Angela, you're so much fun to watch! This reminds me of my mother, who taught me how to organize. She went into my brother's bedroom, dumped all the dressers empty, and then we put all of our Playskool little people into one drawer, Playskool little people furniture into the second drawer, and we were able to find our toys!

[@laurenscotto2074]

This was great! It's amazing how much clutter we can hide in bins around the house. I just did a declutter and moved the toy bins into a closet instead of the kids room ... so when they want a toy, they need to go through me and before they get a new box of toys, the first one needs to be put away and then we exchange it. It's helped the dump and move on mentality!

[@kimwinstead1309]

Angela, you are on fire! When my 6 kids were little, this seemed like a monthly project. It seemed easier to keep things picked up when they were young, as opposed to teen years...funny. You are a woman after my own heart!

[@jillianmayo5108]

so appreciate your use of a rag instead of paper towels. it's the little things! i already consider myself a minimalist but i'm obsessed with organizing & am loving your stuff

[@annlittlejohn1454]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Determination!!! Looks awesome . I bet Do It On A Dime Katherine is really impressed. Well done!!

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Where do you get your energy! and can i have some? 😂😂😂

[@paularedden2087]

I'm exhausted just watching you do all this you are amazing. Awesome job Super Mom.

[@jennygibbons1258]

Love your humour and honesty. Thanks.

[@maurah6033]

I'd love a series on what toys have lasted/your kids have loved in the long-term. I have just one LO and want to be buying stuff that will work for years down the road.

[@nicolecoburn1596]

great to move and change things gives you a chance to deep clean but the outcome brings satisfaction

[@susan5301]

Everything looks so great! Your quite the cleaner! Thanks for sharing!

[@dimila8465]

I enjoy this series so so much!

[@svitlanaivanenko9042]

You did an amazing job! Very motivational, thank you

[@cheriek3872]

It looks soooo good!!

[@minimalzebra]

Love your declutters you are doing so well!

[@debra_boyer]

Angela: Maybe a glass of wine... Me: It's 7am... But, like okay 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@dreamtraveldisney]

Love these organization videos! 💜

[@Creppycookies]

You do such a great job with this series, love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suzie2759]

Really enjoyed this video Angela! You are inspiring me to do the same to my craft room. It's long overdue lol

[@olenapometun9286]

You are amazing! Keep going! You are an inspiration for me!

[@MrsNewfiefan]

I think this was favorite so far. I can relate to it. 4 kids - books, curriculum, toys and stuffies are my struggles. These areas I have to stay on top of. And even then they try to bury me periodically. I know this was a hard one for you and it would be hard for me too!!

[@sallymartin581]

I love the happy shot of Banjamin! What a smile!

[@roxyzook8677]

That was awesome!! Way to go!!

[@katelynmurphy8981]

Your doing great! Awesome motivation

[@gwenjessop3761]

This. Was. So. Satisfying!! I’m in bed with strep throat today. Watching this makes me want to jump up and go organize all the places in my house! WOW! Great job girl 👍🏻

[@libbysjournal]

I’m loving this new series

[@estopesto2647]

This looks amazing!!!!!!

[@lindatravis6840]

I'm new from do-it-on-a-dime channel. Love your video, love your big family. Awesome motivation 💞💗💞

[@amandabradley6256]

What a brilliant effort.......go you!

[@amandaharrington5485]

I love all these de-cluttering videos! They inspire me to do some of the same. My 1 suggestion...I would totally get rid of the tall white cabinet by your home school closet. You have lots of extra shelf space elsewhere and it would help open up the room just a bit more. Also... what is in the large built in where you are planning to put your pantry and fridge?

[@Vz9z9]

So inspiring! I need to do this😩

[@rosie01ism]

Awesome, thank you for great ideas x

[@mistysweirdlife510]

Yes! This is exactly what I needed today. It's toy room clean up day here so I am definitely watching this first. 😁

[@Veronica_Esterhuyse]

We declutter toy bins and cupboards (with kids helping) every 2 or 3 months. Dumping it out and sorting one by one into bins is the best 👍

[@megroux]

Angie you need a dustpan with a long stand up handle. It is a back saver for sure!

[@emilyanschuetz8409]

You are supermom and superteacher! I’m proud of you!

[@lizgeiger2231]

Luggage tags! We put pictures of what's in each bin and then used a plastic luggage tag. Worked like a charm!

[@mommashare5642]

Looks amazing!

[@deborahbavas6514]

You did such a good job! 👍👏❤️

[@nicolepapole]

It is seriously so satisfying!!! My first and second floors are pretty much in maintenance status for decluttering, but my basement is always an issue. We are getting a new furnace soon and we will have a whole new room once we can remove the old furnace and water heater and oil tank! I'm going to move my laundry room to the new space and then make a music room out of the laundry room which can also become storage in the future. I cannot wait.

[@roselynes5588]

Your hair is so beautiful !

[@allisonedminster8046]

I'm loving this organizing series! It's really motivating. A suggestion for the toy bins is to add a picture of the toys that are in each bin to go with the label so the kids can quickly see where each toy goes when cleaning up.

[@showtimesynergy87]

great video! I agree about the stuffed animals. I always try to declutter my kids stuffed animals but can't do it! they all are so special!

[@meeganblend6849]

Been loving this declutter series!

[@greencarina]

Im rewatching your declutter videos for like the third time I think. I also love the music so much, dont you have a spotify playlist for these? love your channel!!

[@smcb2202]

Hey Angela, great job on the declutter. Just a thought on your entrance if you decide to put a fridge and pantry in maybe you’d consider taking down that half wall and pushing the shoe storage back a little. Or maybe making a long built in bench with shoe storage so there is room for a lot of your kids to get shoes on at once. Just a thought! -Lindsay

[@louisespiden7778]

WOW! Awesome job!

[@houseformykids7635]

Just love this video!

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

'They just become weapons' 😂😂😂 too real ahhh siblings cant live with em cant live without em. 💖💖💖

[@kneadysetgrow3220]

Wow! You've dona an amazing job!

[@jokemelink5834]

You did a wonderful job! I did this a few months ago and know how exhausting it can be!!

[@AdventureAllTheWay]

Watching this as I declutter our current junk room that I'm hoping to turn into a homeschool room! Thanks for inspiring me Angela x

[@carysjl846]

It's really I interesting to see your home because I'm British and our houses are designed completely differently. They're also a lot smaller but I prefer that.

[@ginnycarmichael7369]

I am super impressed that you found only one sippy cup. I know I would have found more than that.

[@sandywilliamson4435]

I am loving this declutter my life series!! Unrelated, but would you ever consider doing a, “These are the things that I do/use in order to stay healthy and not get sick very often” series? I get sick a lot, it seems, and that’s hard when you’re a stay at home homeschool mom. Do you take vitamins, supplements, or anything else that help boost your immune system?

[@natalialana1189]

That was super inspiring!!!

[@elizabee4830]

I’m sure you have but having even the little ones help with organizing will help in the long run. (Will take a little long at first 🤦‍♀️) I taught nursery at church for 2 hours for a few years. They were all 18months to 3 years (it was also a large group of kids.) During “play” time I would make them put away very thing by order and all their blocks away by color. They really got into it and parents let me know that they wanted to do the same at home. I had a very organized little class area and the kids were always so excited to come in and felt confident going home.

[@christinehoffman1825]

It looks awesome 👏

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

Such a great series. We have so many toys for the space we live in, but not many toys compared to most families. I love this video, I am gonna tackle the kids toys tomorrow :) It's afternoon over here :)

[@karbear26]

Good job you did a wonderful job!! I so need to declutter! Is s surely hard for me I get attached to things and have a hard time getting rid of things. Hoarder type tendencies I guess you could say!

[@wintersessentiallife1471]

I love your declutter videos! I am currently in the process of doing the same. I'm expecting my second little man in April and the urge to purge and declutter is intense. My declutter takes like a week per room though.

[@pkfamily7297]

These decluttering videos are so satisfying to watch! Awesome! What is the spray cleaner you're using?

[@cherilynclements3188]

AMAZING!!

[@lailanimessina1473]

Magic erasers work so well on shoes ! They work on everytthhinnggg 🙌

[@LoveChristin]

This is incredible!!

[@margaretr778]

New subscriber to your channel, love your videos, beautiful family.

[@angiejohnson3565]

Ok, this is going to be a big ol’ smooshy compliment comment... I found your channel recently, and I admire you so much. I’m more than ten years older than you, but I want to be like you when I grow up. Lol. I, too, have a big family- six kids, two of which are already grown and flown. We were in the process of applying to adopt when I got pregnant with our third, and then after our fourth, when we were starting to think again about adoption, I got pregnant again. Go figure. 😊. All that to say, I love adoption and think it’s an amazing way to grow your family. Your family is so beautiful, and if I were a kid, I’d want to belong to you and CR. Your decluttering series is so inspiring to me. Thank you so much for really explaining your thought process as you go through each room. I have been decluttering regularly for years, but it’s cyclical. As you were talking about, your kids enter different stages, so it’s just a constant process of re-evaluating your space and belongings. I love the music you choose, your style, your sense of humor, everything. So glad I found your channel! ❤️

[@giulianapalermo1626]

i absolutely love your choice of background music, it’s not the basic youtube background music you hear in every video :)

[@lauraeckel5798]

Right! I'm trying to figure out what it is and I can't quite hear the lyrics
