You might want to consider offering things for free on Facebook market place. In my experience they get snapped up pretty fast and you can give things directly to people who need and can use them and they don’t have to go buy them. It can be a bit of a hassle but once you find two or three people who you know are reliable for coming to pick up you can contact them whenever you are clearing out. Personally im not a fan of goodwills practices and the best part of all for me is you don’t have to leave the house! I normally just offer porch pickup. You might also want to look into the buy nothing app for your area.

[@crazycroney]

Mai, pro organizer here. I have always organized my kids clothes by size and season and buy ahead on clearance. I use the wide plastic drawers to store them and have each drawer as size and season. It takes me 2 minutes to switch them out for each season then relabel that drawer for whatever next season ahead is. I have saved THOUSANDS of dollars on clothes. Also, I keep a donation bag in every closet. And one right out side the garage entry door, so i can just chuck anything that needs to go in the main living area and kitchen……OUT.

[@madzabinga8382]

Good Morning, Mai! Putting image labels on those bins in your boys closet, might further help to keep it tidy. Maybe you could make some labels on your Cricut, laminate them, and tie them onto the baskets. Images of shirts, pants, jammies, etc. You could decant your giant protein powder into the containers you found, and store the big overflow containers in the Butler pantry, ha, just sayin! Also, YES to trying the spice rack! I have had one in my Amazon cart for weeks and just haven't made the commitment. Would love to see if it works out for you. Have fun at the Dino park!

[@RebeccaWhite30]

My activity tracker always says my Monday’s are the most active and I think it’s because I’m super motivated after your videos!

[@MaiZimmy]

Haha yes!!! 💪🏻💪🏻

[@susie7336]

I agree about just donating and not selling. It saves so much time and energy. And those are currency too!!

[@patkern185]

I love the idea of a "butler's pantry" for special serveware and table scape decor...oh, who am I kidding? It would be a "crap pantry"! I always enjoy your videos. It's like hanging out with a fun, no BS good friend. I'm always entertained and motivatrd too. Great declutter! 😉 XXOO ❤

[@jennyjenkins877]

Thank you for recognizing the most important part of decluttering and including the time to donate items because it's not decluttered if it's still in your home!

[@kellypruitt2362]

MD motivator is awesome. I would hug that guy in an instant. Thanks for sharing this declutter, I loved it and you did great. Cant wait for the next video😊

[@brittanymaassen3619]

I love your videos as I can totally relate! Just wanted to give another option for the children’s items, particularly the clothes. Try reaching out to your local foster programs or shelters! That way they are truly donated and they don’t need to be bought. 😊

[@katia_gabriella]

How about moving your husband's office to the dining room since he seems to naturally gravitate toward storing his things there? (Noticing that a ton of people don't use the dining room anymore.) Awesome declutter!

[@Nickie242]

To organize baseball hats, use a coat hanger and add shower curtain hooks to the bottom rod and then loop the hats through the hooks!

[@hiitsalison]

I needed to see this today! We’re welcoming our 2nd daughter in less than 4 weeks and I need to devoured out older daughters things to make room.

[@princesssnow7675]

For the hats, you could use plastic shower curtain rings and a hanger to hand them up

[@Charlotte-bc7vj]

Mai! I started following you when I was pregnant and now my boy is one 🤗 your tip about just buying white socks has been SUCH a timesaver!! Baby boy rips off his socks anywhere and everywhere. I donate any gifts of cute character socks before I open them. And the Target up and up wipes and zippy PJs you recommended are staples in our house! They started making the footy pjs in bigger sizes too 💕 so thank you for blessing us Momas with your knowledge Mai 🙌🏽

[@vzeimen]

I love the bright swim trunks thing. When my kids were little if we went camping or to the park I always had them in the brightest shirts I could find. I had neon hoodies just for camping and outings, for them from the time they could walk all they would allow me to make them wear them anymore lol. Once my son who was about 2 somehow walked out the front door and down the street and I called the police right away because we didn't know where he was for sure. He was in his neon hoody and the police were so impressed we had done that. He was only a couple houses away and the lock on the door had broken but it was so scary.

[@mandych715]

You should make labels to go on the bins in the boys clothes so they know where to put things. If they can’t read yet make pictures labels

[@terrymack5624]

Force of Nature is an all purpose cleaner with its own spray bottle and very cool small machine with capsules to replenish. It’s safe for kids, pets and everyone. The kids will have fun helping with the quick and simple, scientific refill process. Love it. Order a lot of capsules for convenience-easy storage. Excellent customer service as well. Thank you for all your great videos!

[@concepcionmartinez9023]

I love these videos! My favorite are your tips that come up - like the swim trunks color.

[@margaretd2924]

Your decluttering videos are so motivating! Thanks for sharing.

[@myriamdubosc7572]

It is always a very generous gesture to give!

[@katie3700]

Always love a good decluttering video!! Also - force of nature is great!! Cleans like Clorox but without the toxins! Good for 2 weeks after you mix it which is why it’s in a smaller bottle but seriously good stuff!

[@latmcb9863]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. I have been thinking about ordering this, but not sure I wanted to try yet another cleaner. I am definitely going to give it a try!!

[@katie3700]

@@latmcb9863 it has simplified the cleaners that I have! I only use this and branch basics now!!

[@crazycroney]

Girl~!!! You need to label!!!! Everything. I’m willing to bet those 2 boxes of small clothes was donate and you forgot! Love you gal.

[@ERSwanger]

Since having a child and subscribing to your channel I have adopted the no fold method and it's a game changer! I just have my baby's clothes divided up into categories in each drawer and throw them in!

[@lisagiannoumis3816]

Yes I always keep a bin for storage for clothes that are outgrown, labeled and ready for the attic. Don't sleep on Kohl's for toddler and kid clothes, especially off season/local team clothes. They have a wonderful clearance section and if you do an Amazon return there you get $5 off. Just got a local team toddler sweatshirt for $12 that would regularly be three times as much.

[@ohadrii]

They sell these hanging hat organizers on Amazon. They work so much better (for me) than stacking them. I have from the brand SportMore and it’s called Cap Rack,Hat Organizer Holder. Highly recommend!

[@cbszoy77]

Thanks!

[@bruckssarah]

When you decluttered the hat that you didn’t want him wearing in public LOLLLLL yes ma’am! 😂

[@vzeimen]

I had that spice rack and I hated it. Maybe it was my particular cupboard wasn't big enough. I ended up getting the kind that have drawers that pull out and tilt down. I have two of them that each hold 30 bottles and I love them.

[@dididididididididdidi]

I’m so obsessed with these videos

[@krystenhayden2516]

If you have any wall space in the closet or bedroom you can hang command strip hooks and hang the hats on there. I did that with my husband's hats!

[@jessieperez6984]

Yay!!! Love decluttering!! ❤️ also would love to see what you make for spring/summer shirts for your boys since I now have a Cricut machine too!

[@jessicapacella2937]

Thank you Mai, very uplifting and motivating as usual

[@mamadee5190]

Sobbing 😭 watching MD Motivator...thanks for sharing...omg

[@HaleyMariah]

I subscribed to the no fold method because of you for my kids and it was the best decision ever!

[@cmak1212]

Great video. That bin for donate clothes should fix the issue. I have always found it hard to sell that age and up kids clothes. Great idea just to get it out of the house.

[@BeautifulDisaster2121]

Love your videos! They make a hat clip hanger for the closet that you hang and it holds all the hats.

[@rowanford8141]

neon orange is the best color for kids swim suit. followed by neon pink, yellow, and green

Hi mai! Always loved your decluttering videos.. BTW ashley from "til vacuum do us part" mentioned a way for hat storage on her new amazon must have gadgets 2022, 3 weeks ago.. thought it might help. 😊❤❤

Thank you!! I’ll check that out!

Definitely a successful decluttering 👏🏼

Force of Nature is great! We use it at work and avoid harsh disinfectants :)

Waiting for this Mai😊👑happy Monday ☺️🌸🌸

[@joveehekmatara675]

I am so sad to think I could have met up with you! We were visiting the Dinosaur State Park last Thursday, from Oklahoma. It was so fun! I love your videos!

[@kim21223]

I googled it first to make sure I could find it I saw it on another KZbinrs channel but if you look up hat clip for closets you will see couple options pull up. And wanted to ask nothing is wrong with donating to goodwill but my mind has shifted more towards donating to local shelters first because one there usually are many around and to help them out with things that can use or appreciate and also I have learned that most good wills bc so many ppl donate to them there is a lot of stuff that goes to the landfilled bc they can't keep it all. So don't know if you ever thought of looking up a local shelter near you as another option but if this is the first time your hearing about this then I hope it can help as another option for donating things . Hope at least one of these tips help you out.

[@lily_white]

turn the "shorts only" bin around. They are the same on both sides and then relabel with your cricut labels

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good Morning 🌅 and Happy Monday here watching 😊

[@Katie-wq8bn]

Force of Nature is an amazing cleaner, the only one we use now.

[@christinaloo6445]

Great motivator for me to declutter! We also have a butlers pantry, do you have a link to the wire shelving for your gift stash? That’s such a great idea!

[@sarasmith5506]

I use force of nature and like it for any germ killing type cleaning jobs. I found it to remove carpet stains well too. Might be worth a try or maybe donate to a classroom.

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Hats over coathangers or on the wall on hooks. They van also be put inside those see through shoe organiser boxes.

[@lettyalvidrez8449]

I like your declutter videos!

[@karendunlop3534]

Someone else I watch, maybe Natalie Bennett, has a hanging clippy storage thing from Amazon for hats, that looked like a good idea.

[@BallroomJenni]

I have a spicy shelf and it does the job… but leaves space for a mess to happen in the middle. Haha

[@mkpeter6274]

I have a hat box it's big and round. Kinda old school but they all fit in there

[@rachel.schmidt]

I love declutters! 💕

The spider on the Spider-Man PJ top would make me not wear them as an adult 😂

There's clip ones you clip to the brim of that and then hang in the closet. Til vacuum us part on KZbin uses then

Oh no!! It’s so good 😢😢

[@dannifulker7494]

[@claudiaschunior8070]

The attics in Texas get very HOT! You may want to consider some closet or cabinet inside your climate controlled house to protect photos from damage or sticking together. I live in Texas too and when I started working on my collection of photos I leaned how heat is not good for photos.

[@shi.budgets]

I don’t fold little peoples clothes either, anything I don’t want wrinkled gets hung otherwise I just shove it in their baskets lol pick your battles 🙌🏽

[@sallyyouna2928]

I have 2 boys and a girl. I do the boys laundry separate than my daughter’s. I I have a bin for each clothing item, and i dont fold.

[@deecasey6893]

I definitely have to fold the children's clothes I just can't throw them in there like if they were dirty I can't do it

[@tristamurphy2287]

You could also post the clothes for free on Facebook market for a mom or dad in need. Instead of having goodwill upcharge and make money off people who don’t have much money

[@claudiaweldon9460]

I go to good will also 😄😄😄😄

[@TianaAsia123]

[@TheCaitling]

I'm one minute in and have to jump in fast to say that my sister clothes her two little kids for free. Tons of people on local buy nothing fb pages and everything is free pages give away garbage bags of childrens clothing in perfect condition, some of it never worn. She takes it home and divvies it up into bins labeled by child size/age. Anything she doesn't get that way (like snow boots, for example), she finds dirt cheap (like $1) at Savers, and uses a 20% off coupon for donating to Savers before she walks in the front door. Winter coats etc from Savers/ Goodwill she strips with tide/ borax/ laundry powder and boiling hot water, runs through the wash, and organizes into the bins. Kids grow out of clothes so fast, you can find all that stuff for free! If you don't see it pop up on buy nothing, make a ISO post for it and the offers will come rolling in :D

[@jesystar]

Where does she get the free kids clothes again. Sorry hard for me to understand... local Facebook group?

[@motherhen7]

Speaking of decluttering I hope your husband kept the device that helps the back...I can't recall what it is called. I am not a chiropractor, a doctor or anything...as I get older and being 34 stretching and doing things to help your back is something I pay attention to. Forgive me for saying this, I know you want or wanted your husband to get rid of it which I respect. I hope that is something that is reconsidered. :)

[@anastasiaalonso2148]

First

[@blanchev6456]

Why don't you buy clothes at goodwill if it's too expensive to buy new clothes for your 3 boys? Donation works only if we perpetuate the loop :)

[@motherhen7]

Have you and your husband made an official decision about having a 4th child or not? Curious

[@MaiZimmy]

I’m leaning towards no right now :)

[@motherhen7]

@@MaiZimmy Ok thanks SO much. Hope I didn't overstep by asking that question...just recall you mentioning it. Sorry.

[@lubnan08]

Awesome video. I would just be careful about putting your kids names on shirts, I think predators knowing their name in public isn't a good idea.

[@katia_gabriella]

Can't fully protect anyone from the bad in this world, though. She doesn't feature them on the channel, either.

[@dianerobertson7988]

You showed “personal” shirts of your kids. It looked like they had their names on them. Please don’t give some stranger an excuse to know your kids name.
