⚠️DECLUTTERING MY ENTIRE HOUSE BEFORE 2024! ✨Extreme Decluttering Motivation Messy To Minimal Mom

Hey! My name is Natalie and I love sharing about my life as a mom and homemaker/homesteader. Around here we embrace the coziness in the chaos and the magic in the mundane. I believe simple joys and a home filled with love (not STUFF) are more important than "keeping up with the Joneses." I'm glad you stopped by! I hope you find some encouragement and gentle motivation and a cozy corner of the internet that's full of peace.

I had a "comparison is the thief of joy" moment I wanted to share! I saw your dutch oven sitting out on the counter, and I immediately thought of mine that has been sitting out at my home for far too long. I thought "well hers is sitting out because she had used it for cooking; mine is just sitting out because it has a crack in it and I need to figure out the warranty situation, so I'm being lazier..." When you added the commentary about yours being cracked I immediately had a moment where I was reminded of how much grace we sometimes give others but then give none to ourselves. I love seeing the realness of these videos; not being afraid to show the mess and clutter and how you can methodically approach your "progress over perfection". It was what I needed today! ❤

[@NatalieBennett]

Bless you, friend! ❤️

Hi Natalie. Good video. I'll probably do my deep cleaning when I take down the tree etc. Usually, after my Birthday on the 30th, I'll be 74yrs. Our home is pretty good right now. We had the rug clean a few weeks ago & my husband vacuum before & then afterwards. So it's not bad right now. I just need to clean my sewing, scrapbooking room. But I'll do that after the New Year too. Ive been with you since a little before you moved to your new home. You & your family have a very Merry Christmas & wonderful New Year! Love & Hugs! ♥️😊🫂🐾🎄🎁🤶🏻🎅🏻☃️❄️🌟🎉

[@GretaAlejandra1996.3]

​@@NatalieBennett Hello there how are you 😃

[@billieross1126]

Natalie, I was so happy to hear you mention using "the good china." I recently purchased a full 5 piece place setting, service for 8 plus 6 serving pieces at thrift shop. It was perfect, in the box, still fully wrapped in protective sleeves with cardboard dividers. The box was written in a very shaky penmanship, "Good China - BASEMENT." This china was someone's "I'll use it when" but it was never used. I purchased it for $25 - Noritake China... and I use it every. single. day. Don't wait for tomorrow... use what you love.

[@Courtneyburns90]

This. We got a set of plates/bowls etc for our wedding present and it was in the cupboard for 4 years “for good” but last year I needed new plates as our was getting chipped and I went..wait we have some. Why keep it in the cupboard where no one sees it. Use it and enjoy it. Did the same with my glasses and mugs too and I’m using the crystal glasses. Yes they may break but at least I can say we used them.

[@kelliconlan8133]

Tip for laundry. Set a timer on your phone or actual physical timer (that you take with you or set in central place) for the time that the washer / dryer should be done. Once the timer goes off, immediately go to the washer/dry and change loads of laundry. That really helped me get in the rhythm of laundry and not forget it.

[@hayleymar]

Newer machines sometimes have a wifi component and will send a notification to your phone when the load is finished. So helpful! I only dismiss the notification once I've dealt with the load, so I have the reminder there until the job is done.

[@jaclynmoylan1905]

I’ve been doing this lately and wow what a game changer

[@Jolly.Joy_Rose]

I’m probably going to need this tip too 😅 thank you! I tell myself I don’t then move on with other chores only to finally relax after dinner and realize oh shoot I was doing laundry today 🙈

[@rachellereacobb8615]

Yes! I tell Alexa “remind me in 45min to get the laundry” and it has solved everything

[@clairetitus6904]

This definitely works. I set the timer on my phone so the laundry gets moved along. It has worked for many years. Laundry is fast and easy.

[@Raising_Arrowsx5]

My small win today was I went through the first floor of my house which is my bedroom through the living spaces to the kitchen and into the laundry room and I got a bag of trash and 1 medium box of donations!! Feels good to know that amount of things is out of my space.

[@lisapoulsen5452]

My girls are 16 & 19 and have been in charge of cleaning and decluttering their own rooms for years. But every once in a while I will go in and make their beds and give it a mom clean and you would think I had given them gold…they always notice and appreciate it. It’s like a little treat🥰🥰🥰 Merry Christmas🎄 & see you in the New Year 🥳

[@laurenamaral6964]

Congratulations on your ten years ❤. I often work with your videos on shuffle in the background. It’s very relaxing. In those 10 years you’ve mastered your art. Wish you all the best to you and your family and have an awesome Christmas!

[@hollyweaver7292]

“The hardest thing to get is going “ would be a great quote on merch.

[@gracewalton5479]

Hi! Loved the video, as always. My four year old daughter likes to watch cleaning/decluttering videos with me, and when I invited her to join me today she said, "This is my favorite lady!". For a replacement for plastic cups, we use metal ones! We just got them off Amazon, very affordable non breakable option for little ones.

[@hannahbentson9374]

I’ve been decluttering along side you since the beginning and I’m just so proud of how far you’ve come! 💪🏼 look at us growing those decluttering muscles - yay!

[@angeliquebloomberg935]

Thank you for a lovely year, Natalie ❤ May you and your family be blessed this Christmas and New year.

[@user-qf8bz5tx5b]

I so needed this this morning, feeling overwhelmed by all the clutter in my house. I thought I would wait for the new year but your video motivated me to start today to roll into the NY on the right foot; plus you reminded me that just decluttering a small area will lift my mood and get the ball rolling. Your gentle motivation gave me the inspo today, thanks Natalie!

[@michalinarus9497]

♥ Hi Natalie, thank you for your videos. You're the reason I'm constantly decluttering. The 'gentle motivation' approach resonates with me very well, as sometimes my chronic illness prevents me from doing my daily chores. That 'gentle motivation' more often than not gets the ball rolling and in the end feels very rewarding. Especially when you 'ploughing through the day'. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 🤗

[@MrsHergy]

❤ Needed the gentle motivation to get things done today! Thank you for always keeping it real & showing how real life can be! Blessings to you & your family!

[@suezannek6535]

It’s always nice to watch your videos and the progress being made in all aspects of life. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy NY 2024!!

[@Kelly-Kay]

Okay, that’s it! This was the push I needed to do a deep declutter this weekend. Thanks for the inspo!

[@donna8264]

God Bless you and your family in this new year! Thank you for your vlogs, they warm my heart!! ❤️💚

This is exactly the motivation I need right now!! Really admire your tenacity, so inspirational x

[@HarmonyOfEnyaMagic]

Thank you for this year, you have taught me so much about decluttering, cleaning and most of all to love myself more aswell my family. I love you and your family, as you are the most beautiful and kindhearted family to even know, as you are so alike my own. Happy/Merry Christmas and a very happy sparkling new year to you all. See on the other side of 2024 next year.

[@vroonadventures2057]

You such a calming voice and demeanor. I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and it has been wonderful to see you learn about decluttering and what looks like for you and your family. Also I'm so happy for you that you have a been able to move to a house where you are free to garden and get chickens. Homesteading! 😊 I'm not in a place where I can homestead, but hopefully on a small scale someday. In the meantime, I'll watch you.

[@malina6820]

I follow a few lifestyle/homemaking youtubers and you are by far my favourite. I keep on rewatching your videos until the next one comes out and they always feel so comforting! Youve helped me so much to feel comfortable with the type of mom and homemaker I am, your videos truly feel like a safe space. Thank you.

[@EJaramillo]

I want to say I love the way you are doing these videos, they aren’t extreme declutters and glad it isn’t advertised as such. You also love how you say you are cleaning and resetting a space. It makes it feel so genuine.

[@madeleinep7103]

Aw mommy magic must be a very validating thing to hear. How sweet and genuine that they see it that way from the practices you've developed.

This is great motivation for me to declutter my room before new year during the winter break. Probably going to declutter the kitchen too with my mom.

[@JustSheilz]

Fantastic declutter inspiration before the holidays!

[@Anupamakiran]

Hi Natalie❤ , I always watch your videos because I feel like I am talking to a friend with the same ideology behind minimalism. Thanks for your videos and I follow your mantra “progress over perfection “ if not for minimalism( because I am very intentional with my things) but for other aspects of my life. Thanks a ton!!! Merry Christmas 🎄 and love all way from India.

Thanks for mentioning ADHD- I’m 56, just realized this is a factor in my life, and your videos have helped me overcome over the years ! I now have habits and routines and patience with myself that helps tremendously. My home feels great and I honor my limits. Blessings for you and your family in this new year.

[@steviereybok1472]

The best thing for me with chores has been that our new appliances all have an app on my phone. It is so nice to get that reminder even when I'm NOT home that the "washer/dryer or dishwasher" is done with whatever. It seriously helps me stay on track and keep up with kids chore progress.

[@Ali_Pitt]

I also have a hair dryer box still sitting in my bathroom from probably 6 months ago too and I need to just ✨let it go ✨ lol! I’m gonna do that today I think! Thanks for your wonderful videos ❤

[@hellya2666]

I will definitely rewatch this as I'm decluterring my own house, you are very motivating and your voice is relaxing as well. I feel less overwhelmed listening to you while cleaning. I know, it's weird. But take it as a compliment. I will need a lot of courage to go through my 5y old stuff.

I did the same thing with my kids swim suits. They typically had only one so it was always an oddball item in their regular drawers and it made it so much easier to find their swimsuits when we needed them.

[@meadowmaiden4621]

Yes! Needed to see this today :)

[@chillibird2511]

I've been decluttering, too. I clean the area I'm working on. A clean space with things put where they go bring a clean slate to make the task easier. I've been watching since I think Hailey was 2 or 3. ❤

[@lylagray9669]

❤❤❤ I love your messy to minimal series and was re-watching the series over the last couple of days! I have a box in my front sunroom that is my permanent de-clutter box. I put some napkins in it, as well as some other things in the past month or so, and my mom came to visit and looked in the box. She was surprised I was getting rid of the napkins and I just said that I didn't need 18 napkins, as we never have that many over at one time!

I’m always in awe of how good you are at cleaning and decluttering with ADHD. I struggle so much. I’m trying to learn that decluttering or even putting laundry away can be done in a spare 20 minutes here and there and don’t need a whole day sectioned out to do it. Saying that one of my biggest issues is I want to be a minimalist but I shop a lot for that sweet dopamine and I have way too much stuff! Urgh.

[@annmoore321]

Hi Natalie. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I also have ADD (minus the H in my case), and yes, breaking up tasks into small, easy jobs makes a huge difference in my house too.

[@daughteroftheking4266]

Natalie, oh I have adhd and constantly forget what I’m doing but one thing that made a huge difference for me in laundry, I would even dare to say it’s life changing is I put my wash in when I’m going to bed and set it to wash 1 hour before I get up. I have trained myself I stop and put it in the dryer on my way to the coffee pot. I don’t dare start another load until bedtime because it will lay in there and rot 😂. I don’t know if you can do that with your machine, just a suggestion. Before I started doing this no joke I would rewash the same load sometimes 10 times and I could never get caught up. Now I never have any laundry in baskets waiting to be washed, putting it up I have no suggestions there. We just dress out of the basket but at least it’s clean.

[@mrspalmere]
