NO MORE CLUTTER! How to DECLUTTERING & ORGANIZING your HOME

[@micheleg.109]

I'm a 1991 baby and my mom always had TONS of extra sheets and blankets. But I honestly don't remember her pulling the extras out, like ever. But she never got rid of them, so for a while I was the same way. I realized I always wash and dry the same sheets in the same day so the extras were just taking up space and stressing me because the closet was so messy. To donation they went! Have not missed them once. Animal shelters also love things like this, in case anyone needs an idea of a place to take them 🙂

[@luvmyjujuntootie]

@@micheleg.109 thank you I have so many extras to get rid of.

[@mrslynnwhite]

I love the open shelves :) It is nice to have cleaned out spaces.

[@Angelina14799]

We had the same thing going on. In my parents case I think it was a result of having grown up with nothing, and also being the children of the generation that lived through the Depression. There was very much the sense of needing to be prepared for bad times, of being saving (as my Mom called it), and of not being wasteful.

[@Emilygregoire9]

I am the same exact age and my mom was the same as well!! I've taught myself that it's OK to be the opposite of her, she likes to have a ton of extra stuff for peace of mind, I like to have just what I need and a nice empty space for peace of mind!😊

[@suewright984]

I keep 2 sets of sheets and two sets of towels per person.

[@SYRSALLY]

Chaos makes me crazy. I hate clutter and messes. I always feel motivated to pick something to clean and declutter. I’m 74 and there I days I’m lucky to get my bed made so you are a great inspiration. I love you sweet girl. God Bless you. ❤️🙏🏼🌸

[@ThisCrazyLife]

That’s so cool how that filter folds up! Loveee the things that make life a little easier! Miss you 🥹 I have to run for a few, but you know I’ll be back haha! I love the idea of sending the simple things to school, but sending a personal note to the teachers to contact you. I do the same with offering to help out during the school year - but it’s a struggle when every year at the end, they come home with half of their items we sent, completely unused 😭

[@mrslynnwhite]

Exactly! I was tired of that. I want to help, but I cant continue to waste money. Their teachers have me on speed dial. HAHA Miss you more.

I love decluttering. I love organizing and cleaning. My daughter has 7 kids and for the shoes she went to IKEA and bought the 16 cubes shelves and the boxes that go in 12 of them and the doors for 4 of them and it works out great for them. They put the shoes in the cubbies and behind the doors thier back packs. Awesome video 💛🌻💛🌻💛🌻

[@mrslynnwhite]

Ikea is so good to get some good organization items, for sure.

[@racheldyer9250]

I like doing a whole house declutter in the fall (before Christmas) and mainly in the Spring. I like declutter kids stuff before their birthday's (both are in the summer) and before Christmas. This way, we can see what they need, what they don't, what they like and what they don't. Decluttering always feels soo liberating, destressing, and makes cleaning sooo much easier.

[@mrslynnwhite]

That is so good!

[@karenturner7983]

Great ideas. I always have 2 sets of sheets per bed in case someone get sick/has an accident during the night. I always kept my kids leftover supplies from each school year. Let's say Johnny needs a blue crayon, I check the old supplies. Cheaper than buying a new box. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrslynnwhite]

I get that! :)

[@tueywladavis3502]

I watch this lady who folds her sheets and puts the set and one pillow case in the other pillow case. Just a neat way to store. Many years ago when I went to home ec classes we were taught to have three set of sheets for each bed. I have always went by this. There were three reasons for this but I forget how it went.. I enjoy following you.

[@carrieislost]

I just decluttered this morning for 3 hours! I'm a very sentimental pack rat so its hard to do, but it feels SO good and freeing to get rid of things i truly dont love or need.

[@mrslynnwhite]

I'm so proud of you!

[@luvmyjujuntootie]

I just popped on to your channel because I needed decluttering motivation, and you are saying all things that I'm thinking and feeling. My kids don't even use there extra sheets. I needed this recharge, and love how you keep this your videos simple and to the point. Thank you!!

[@mrslynnwhite]

I'm so glad you are here.

[@RandallStrait]

LYNN: You help me in so many ways. Not only to declutter, but you taught me to appreciate what we do have. Right now we are out of work and have been for a while and watching you helps with my anxiety of not having a job and also makes me want to clean an organize my home and myself. We are praying for new jobs soon. Keep us in your prayers. Your friend Denise Strait

[@belindaaguirre8181]

What you’ve been teaching is really working. Today I went to Goodwill and didn’t buy any of the cute things to decorate. I already have more than enough. But last week when I was there I found a bunch of brand new, clear storage containers. Jackpot! So all this week I’ve been working on declutterring so much and being able to use all my new containers. Thank you for what you do. You continue to inspire me.

[@scoutc315]

We have 4 older kids and 3 younger kids. By the time the older kids were in high school I had enough leftover school supplies brought home at the end of each year I could’ve stocked a whole elementary school classroom. Last year I was able to fill the 2 still in elementary school with just the supplies we had at home. I think it’s a great idea to ask the classroom teacher if the supply lists are accurate as I’ve had teachers tell me before “oh, the district makes those lists. We won’t use most of it…” 😣 We also reuse backpacks and lunch boxes over and over. Our youngest are in 6th and 4th and have the same backpacks (from REI) and lunch boxes (planet lunch boxes) they started K with.

[@mrslynnwhite]

So you completely get it!! I like having the approach that I am here for whatever they may need.

[@scoutc315]

@@mrslynnwhite absolutely. I want the teachers to feel supported, and I never want my kids to feel less than or embarrassed about what they have. Everything we send is clean and in good condition. There’s been a couple times they’ve wanted a new backpack or lunch box when our school shopping, but they’ve never wanted to go back later that week to get it with their own spending money. 😄

[@moeaves]

It’s only me, my husband and son, so I have two sets of sheets for both our beds. I just figured it would best that if we get sick then I don’t have to worry about it. I can change the sheets and do a wash of course I don’t have that many kids so I could easily have three sets and it be doable.

[@mrslynnwhite]

I get that. :)

[@bethbranson9050]

Great video as always, Lynn!!! It is really helpful to hear your reasoning behind your actions!! AND… I love that you are a sniffer of things! Me, too!! Sniffing settles the question once and for all… is this dirty or clean!!??😆💚

[@mrslynnwhite]

It definitively does. You never know with this many kids .

[@jkp62]

When it comes to bed sheets and bath towels, I keep 2 sets of sheets and 4 extra pillowcases for each bed and 2 bath towels and washcloths for each person (empty nester but since I have queen beds in every bedroom it still equals 2 people per bedroom) and I keep it all in each bedroom closet in vacuum seal bags, except ours as we rotate weekly through everything, bath hand towels are separate because I don’t like buying the sets and buy more seasonal colors for the bathroom, though all the other bath towels are white, those can be bleached as needed and the color doesn’t fade. I keep 2 dozen each of white (again bleach, peroxide and oxyclean powder is my friend) dish washing cloths, flour sack towels for drying dishes and kitchen hand towels and at the end of everyday the used ones goes into the small hamper in our laundry room and I set out fresh before I go to bed, no stinky sponges or nasty hand towels for this girl.

[@andreaharper2380]

My husband likes to over buy so we were always having to store extras. 2 if my sheet sets were so used and just either beyond saving and one had holes starting. I was happy we get to toss 2 sets because we have like 4 or 5 others. It woll be nice if I can get the extra sets to fit into one container instead of crammed into spaces. I will never have just onw set, that doesnt work for our family because I lnow us and they will never be washed and dried all in one day and hubby is a sweater so our sets dont last a very long time. Ive been gradually decluttering for only a couple of years but have piles of things Ive taken out of our spaces and getting ready for a yard sale. If all does not sell then ai woll tey and list only the items that may be worth anything, the rest I am happy to donate amd get rid of. I woll never be a minimalist, at least not in this stage of life, but I am getting more comfortable with getting some excess out that is just getting in the way.

Regarding the school supplies - I’m thinking that you are putting additional work on the teacher, by asking them to contact you when your child needs additional supplies. I can imagine it would be a nightmare if every parent had the same expectation. Just an opinion from a retired teacher.

[@mrslynnwhite]

I can respect that.

[@roxpar1816]

I think a different kind of door on your linen closet would make the space easier to use.

[@mrslynnwhite]

What do you suggest?

[@roxpar1816]

​@mrslynnwhite I'm not really sure, maybe just a regular swinging door? Just feels like the door is kind of in the way of part of the closet. I have those same doors on some of my closets and I'd like to be able to change them to something else, especially when I'm trying to organize the space. 🙂
