I love Dawn! I love when you collab with her!❤🎉 She’s so chill and real. 😊 I think one of the most influential things she ever said was “our kids are drowning in stuff and starving for attention.” That really resonated with me! Helped me realize the best gift I can give is my presence ❤

[@ednarose86]

Dawn is the reason I started decluttering! Love her! And I swear, it doesn't matter if I've listened to her for 2 whole years, I get new little nuggets all the time! Her saying she would feel lazy, because she should be organizing. It really hit me, that if the house is picked up, it's clean, I don't have "chores" or tasks, I can sit down and binge watch tv and NOT feel lazy about it. I feel lazy when there are pending tasks to do. If there are no pending tasks, I'm just relaxing.

[@jenpisano5954]

Yesss me too! Same! She’s helped me SO MUCH! I’m older and I think WOW- if ONLY I knew this in my 20s and 30s - but now I share with the younger people in my life and tell them how helpful and LIFE CHANGING decluttering and leaving a minimal life is! AND BUDGETING???!!! Nobody taught me this we just learned this a few years ago as well and it’s CHANGED OUR WHOLE WAY OF THINKING! We also share this with people and have seen others change their lives as well! Thank You Rachel and Dave because of you all I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT AND BREATHE and not feel OVERWHELMED!

[@tgayer1]

Love Dawn! Maybe don’t advertise a shopping website when discussing decluttering and minimalism! 🤣

[@0570dev]

Ikr total contradiction! 🤣

[@kbiscay5801]

True!

[@heartsandmindsathome]

“Recognize where your weak spots are.” Yes! So wise.

[@tamiwalker8985]

Love having Dawn in your show!!! She’d be a great Ramsey personality!!!

[@t-rachel19]

She would, particularly with her own debt free Ramsey journey/ origin story. But she has had enormous success on her own, I don't think they could entice her down to Nashville. I love Nashville, we don't live that far from Nashville, but Dawn loves where she lives near her family. They should bring her on though as often as possible , she is truly wonderful.

[@suzannebethard8034]

True. One of my favorite groups on Facebook is the group of us who are working on paying off our house faster. We all understand each other and don’t make frivolous purchases. We’re under $25,000 and hope to pay it off this December. Gazelle intensity.🙏🏼👍🏻

[@sharonbacon6757]

Dawn, You are so right about how kid's brains develop. I worked in early childhood for over 40 years in child care and as a public school prek-k teacher. I could always tell the kids who had been allowed to play with open ended materials. They had more confidence to try new activities and were generally more motivated to learn. AND thank you for all the great decluttering and organizing advice. Now that I am retired I am making great progress editing our 51 years of inventory and have gotten some of my family members on board with decluttering too.

[@virgierutledge3004]

We are grand and great grandparents at age 73 have a large family room where we cook and play and relax while watching them play with toys that our two sons had. They are now 50 and 41 now. Creative toys: Lincoln Logs, Legos, Popiods, dinosaurs, cars, trucks, dolls, stuffed animals, paper, tape, glue, stickers, markers, crayons, scissors. We have a toy cave under the stairs where they can drag out and play with it all. But they must return before they leave. Relax and let them create.

[@Rosie_C]

My grandparents have 2 sons and have a toy cave under the stairs as well. :) When we visited last summer, we took the first great-grandson down to check out all the tractors and toys we remembered playing with as children. :)

[@katharinebartlett9129]

Thank you for mentioning the importance of play! -From a Kindergarten teacher

[@jhemeyer]

Absolutely love the collabs between Dawn, Rachel & John Deloney!

[@jg2611]

As a Dad/parent, I declutter a few times per year, but after-Christmas is definitely one of the bigger efforts. "Tough decisions" is right. I remind the family that anything "new" entering the home, means you get rid of something else/things we already have..It piles up quickly. Clutter/objects tend to be a burden/overwhelm you(or others in your home)

[@alexa574]

I love Dawn and the colabs with her. I'm proud of myself, I just finished bringing down AND put away all decorations into storage. I feel so good that is completed. I love Christmas decorations but this year I go back to work on Tuesday and I already felt so overwhelmed. Amazing how much stress having that completely has been reduced.,,and now we start to focus on taxes,it never ends and clutter really increases our workload.

[@alexa574]

Forgot to mention decorations were brought down and packed away in 20 minute increments and focused one room at a time. I was so doable and stressfree. When I finished a room, I would treat myself by watching KZbin for a set timed amount.

[@chantellecunningham8899]

Dawn js the best!!! She’s helped me so much with living more peacefully in our home.

[@elizabethgridley8587]

Love the Minimal Mom! She has been such an inspiration with practical, down to earth and realistic tips on family minimalism. Thanks for having her on!

[@rg-mi5hh]

Make something better today is what Dana K. White says. It really helps motivate me when overwhelmed with decluttering.

[@t-rachel19]

I love Dawn! Rachel and Dawn together~ even better! Perfect timing, I really need to get my house & budget together.

[@leesbees9412]

Thanx 4 having Dawn on. She shares her knowledge + experiences freely. I've learned/ changed my home/living style lots since following her Channel (Sept 2021). In life I've learned I'm on a journey + living more simply + w/less stuff (TY Dawn, Dana, Cas, Joshua) brings me lots of peace + joy. CIAO AMORE!

[@susan5661]

Wonderful show! The two of you combined are so powerful and positive. Thank you!

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

I love when my two favorite KZbinrs are together in a video!

[@katkatisattic1654]

Great tips! I love Dawn. I've been subscribing to her for years! My decluttering muscles are getting stronger with her help!

[@evalina98000]

👶🏽Nativity set up Dec 16, 🏡 decorations &🎄up Christmas eve day, stays for Epiphany 🌟 12 days after Xmas, Jan 7 end holidays ☺️

[@suefromerie1]

Me too.

[@jennyjenkins877]

Thanks to your little chit-chat at the beginning, I started the undecorating process while I was watching around midnight! To be continued in the daylight...

[@mammacass5311]

As a commercial for Jane comes up in the middle 🤣🤣

[@sopranoalecea]

So excited to see you with Dawn!!! I have just recently 'found' Dawn and love her down to earth decluttering advice. And Rachel, I am new to DR and you and it is so exciting to see the two of you together!

[@candiceburgess557]

Love listening dawn. She gives me inspiration everyday. She someone definitely. Follow. I love listening to her as cleaning and declutter everyday

[@tanjaaufdermaur2715]

I love Dawn! She is so inspiring so this year I really had a declutter break free😅. I decluttered on and off my whole life but a bit more intense since 2018. I'm pretty immune to commercials now because I donated practically all of those super gadgets most of them were for relaxing and I didn't use them. And "SALES" they don't call to me either. Just imagining all those people in the stores😱😱makes me cringe. And a lot of my sales purchases in the past I NEVER wore. Like NEVER. My cousin asked me several times for going shopping now but I have no desire and I only need some black low cut pants, which is a bit difficult at the moment, everything is high waist (high waist impacts my mood not in a good way (I get only SLIGHTLY AGGRESSIVE)). I did buy a blazer on sale on Monday but I was looking for a blazer and that's the only thing I bought, so that's o.k. So if it's not on my shopping list or I wouldn't pay full price for an item I'm not gonna buy it just because it's on sale. And after decluttering there isn't much to organize and all those bins and baskets aren't all necessary. And I spent SO MUCH less money with having less stuff. 🤩 It's a win win win. I feel better, have more money and tidying my apartment takes about 10 minutes (excluding the kitchen😉😂 that would add another 20min but it's been an hour at least before decluttering)

[@lauranickens2563]

Two of my favorite gals! Keep spreading the message!!

[@JulsMWK1995]

Toys are not sentimental to me but books are! We read together all the time and there are so many favorites!

[@JenMidwestMama]

Two of my favorite educational ladies!!! LOVE it when you are together!!! Thanks so much!

[@rachelcrossen8136]

Looking at the bags and bags of things I spent money on and thinking about that wasted money and also working on keeping my inventory low really helps me spend less money

[@findingaway5512]

Love when you have Dawn on. She is great!

[@marygeorge9688]

Love Dawn. She has been so helpful. I watch her videos for ideas on decluttering and living with less.

[@terrietanner8503]

Two of my favorite ladies to listen to, together!! ❤ Y’all are helping me improve the quality of my life! 🙌🏻 Wishing you both the best 2023!!!🎉

[@oliviafox6745]

When I was a kid, it was art supplies for Christmas. Endless possibilities. Both our sons love to draw as well.

[@AcreWood-ns5gt]

Love Dawn, so thankful I found her!

[@mgb5170]

I do agree with removing /unsubscribing from style inspiration blogs/instagram (many are partially funded by companies, too), so there is value in the interview (if my previous comment seemed harsh).

[@Katwoman4318]

Thank you Rachel and Dawn for this advice. Happy 2023!

[@lizzabbott]

Love you both ! Thanks for having Dawn back on. Been watching her , & being inspired and transformed by her since 2018 or probably ‘17 ! Happy New Year, Rachel ! Thanks for all you do !

[@digitatissue8502]

My favorite collaboration!!! ☺️

[@bunny7403]

I got completely out of debt earlier this year. Now, if I use a credit card, it is for a purchase or purchases that I can pay off in the next couple months. I feel so much better being debt free... It is freeing, in a way

[@carolryg7293]

If you carry a balance over to the next month, then you still have debt and your spending behavior is still in the old mindset.

[@bunny7403]

@@carolryg7293 I know... I probably didn't pay much over $20 in interenst this year. And my credit score (FICO) is over 820... Not too shabby for somebody that was head over heels in debt a few years ago...

[@bunny7403]

And... if you time things right, you will have more time... Say you are starting with a zero balance, if you charge something on the first day of a billing cycle, you won't even get billed for 30 days, then you should have anyplace from 15 to 30 days to pay it with no interest..You gotta make your money work for you...

[@ellie448]

I LOVE DAWN she is the BEST HUMAN ❤💕

[@michellemurray4044]

For me, Jan will be a no spend month. It becomes a daily game to see how low i can go on spending anything. Needs versus wants.

[@ulandibrewer6081]

Love it when you all collab! 🥰

[@laurieyalanty9781]

My Mom, myself and now my daughter all did this with Christmas toys. We pack away the toys that the kids get bored with. Then in the summer we bring them back out. Usually they are excited about the toys. If they still are not interested, then we give those toys away.

[@annatorborg2149]

I love this collaboration so much!

[@BrendaHendrickson]

Love Dawn! ❤

So true, I have been looking for "deals" since Black Friday. I need nothing. Except less stuff, lol.

[@CyndiGarguilo]

Ok but I need to know about these pillow slides! Lol

[@bobbieJ777]

Every January I clean out my filing cabinet. I throw out items I no longer need.

[@jamiecorisis6122]

Great video!

[@katl6320]

i like both these ladies but Christmas isn't over until january 6; we are in 'the 12 days of Christmas'...and at least for my kids if they don't care about it at first i can wait for a month or two and they eventually will play with it. i usually give it about 6 months.

[@KKLuc]

Where can I find Rachel’s book recommendations? 👀

[@Kaibigan39]

Don't, it's a scam reply.

[@stephanied6711]

Don’t forget that anyone can sign up to their take back your house it’s with her, Clutterbug and Dana (a slob comes clean)

Would love to know who you follow, Dawn, for money and budget help. Also Love your sweater, Rachel.

[@TraceyStebbins]

She follows Dave Ramsey. She’s said it on her KZbin videos

[@stephanied6711]

❤❤ Dawn

[@deb9806]

Two favs ; ) Rachel, is it too personal to ask if you get hair done or your natural color? Been trying Med Golden brown but can't quite get your beautiful color. Love your earrings too.

[@Kaibigan39]

That's not the real Rachel. Don't do it - it's a scam.

[@elizabethlangheim7214]

I have a guideline to not purchase anything online after 10pm because I know I tend to purchase more impulse items then.

[@MustardseedMomma68]

How do I declutter when my husband and teenage kids want to keep everything? My ASD son has baby toys, and won’t let go of Anything.

[@gonzalvc9332]

Dawn has a you tube video on this, if you go to her channel you can find it. She pretty much says lead by example, start with your stuff only and people start to follow.

[@pnwflipper2089]

I love Dawn, but she is always bagging on Maria Montessori. I think if she read her books she would realize that Maria was totally in-line with Minimalism and creating and environment for chiclden to do the work of playing.

[@Sincerely_SweetAesthete]
