Decluttering EVERYTHING Before Baby Comes!

[@evybills2790]

You are a huge reason I have developed a healthier relationship with items and can LET THEM GO! Thank you!

[@NandiniGupta1]

Me too!!! Very very helpful - ppl make you feel bad about being "ruthless" in knowing what you LOVE vs anything less - but I love how you don't shy away and are honest about what benefits you and your family's life! Also Canadian ✌🏾 sending love on this gorgeous day

I’m decluttering pre-Christmas now! Thank you for leaving these up and I love your new stuff and watch all of those, too!! ❤️❤️

[@stefaniamiller5605]

I personally prefer watching declutter/cleaning videos that is mainly b-roll fast forwarded. I find your videos to be perfectly balanced and enjoyable! Pls don’t change too much of the way you do/edit your decluttering/cleaning videos😁😄

Calvin centring himself in the shot as you moved the camera gave me the smiles so much 😄

[@jennifertinkham5599]

Maybe you could save an IKEA bin lid for puzzles. You could build your puzzle on it and be able to move off the table at mealtime if needed.

[@hendrietta7116]

Yess that is what I always do too🙂

[@michiebutterfly7785]

There are so many cool puzzle savers out now....ones who have drawers or compartments to store organized puzzle pieces too! You can work on them, then put them away (under the bed or couch) when u aren’t actively working on it! Happy Saturday, mama!! (I’m just thinking they could get dusty just sitting in a bin lid)

I have never heard someone else sing that song! When I first saw the movie I sang it like every day for years. Now it is stuck in my head again!!!!😂😂😂

Sarah you're probably not even going to see this post but I just want to thank you! You have motivated me so much and gotten me out of a deep rut!! I started decluttering yesterday and it pains me deeply to stop to go to sleep lol. It might not seem like much to you but I was not raised as a minimalist. Quite the opposite. If i wanted to get rid of something my mother would guilt me into keeping it. So therefore i have irrational and unfunctional sentimental connection with everything i own. That makes decluttering and being minimal so much harder because "what if i need it" or "what if i regret this". Well yesterday i just decided i can't do it anymore. I have a house full of stuff i don't even know exist because i never see or use it. I have cluttered closets and spaces and to be honest it gives me extreme anxiety. I'm not nearly where you are but you are such an inspiration and I'll strive to raise my future children as you do yours in more ways than just being minimal. You won't be able to comprehend how much your videos mean to me. So thank you!

[@cozetteoconnor1289]

I'm a young married mama, 23 with 2 children- and watching your videos reminds me to continue in our daily work with them faithfully in the Lord. Whether that's cleaning, laundry, homeschooling, playing with them--- it's so important and I need to give it my full attention. Even if nobody else is watching, I work for the Lord. Praying I continue in staying focused and remembering this on the hard days.

[@michiebutterfly7785]

Just make sure you don’t get too caught up in the housework and “extras” focus on Funtime with your littles too! There is so much time for school!! You can make early learning so much fun with crafts and play too! There are so many resources out there now! I wish I had all the info that is readily available now, when my son was little! We did a lot Of learning through art, but now....you have access to so much! Have fun mama!!! They grow up way to quickly! Signed, mama of a 13 year old who never wants to come out of his room anymore!🤣🤣💛💛

[@markash567]

We use those lids to those ikea bins for art trays! So any time they use paints or slime or playdoh. I’m sure they’re already goners, but thought I’d throw that out there :)

[@maegancarey8620]

Ive had that song in my head for 3 days and couldn't place it. watched so many videos again to try and find it. Beautiful rendition, beautiful littles. I love the way you parent them, do you have parenting videos? Struggling through a challenging season, and watching you has given me a ton of peace and some renewed patience. You see the joy and the happy, and the silly. Love it all. Thank you for all of it.

[@itsteagan3216]

okay Ivy’s pants 😍😍😍😍😍😍 your kids clothes are SO cute. I love how they aren’t ugly like lots of kids clothes from mainstream stores that are like neon

[@michiebutterfly7785]

Lol! So true!! My son likes a certain pair of track pants....his wardrobe, (with help form this page) now consists of 5 pairs of those pants, 3 pairs of shorts, and 7 won t shirts in neutral colors! Makes it so easy for him to get dressed and he is wearing his favorite items everyday! (Oh! And 3 hoodies! He’s 13, not sure if u have a teenager yet, but a hoodie is part of the u inform! I’m in south Florida and it’s 90 degrees, but these kids still have to have their hoodie!!lol!!🤍🤍🤍🤍

Wow!! The spaces look great and what’s hilarious is I also worked at a thrift store and I agree soo much keeping things nice and organized help the work get done correctly and also helps get more products to the floor! So if you can, organize your stuff!!

I’ve started to declutter more because of you and it’s such a liberating feeling. It makes me love my home so much more ❤️

I didn’t work on decluttering and updating when everyone else was during quarantine. My house is now out of control, so I’m ready to tackle the whole house (down to painting every room....it’s been 13 years) and want it done before the next school year! Wish me luck!!:)💛

You have such a pretty voice when you sing!!! It makes my heart smile 😊

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Jigsaw puzzles were a thing my husband and I did during lockdown. So understand the attraction. Also so inspired by you that I did a major declutter.. but soon realized it’s for sure an ongoing project. Yikes.. have many to donate! Thanks, Sarah! ❤️

[@ErinNDo]

I love your real life declutter videos! B roll is good!!;) I am also with child , our fourth too! This is so relatable! I love channels that keep it real. And show truth. I’m also a puzzle lover and have started doing them when I got pregnant as a way to just destress and do something for me. Btw: usually declutter videos are full of fast music and I find it more stressful! So I’m loving your music choices…chill jazz/ cafe /French jazz. I turn on that music at home to just do dishes to or read my devotional in the am.

[@JulianaFrugalMinimalMom]

your decluttering videos are hands down my absolute favorite ones!! So inspiring! I have been going full ham bananas decluttering and organizing our apartment and it feels so good to do this.

Whenever I get tired of decluttering you motivate me and I just keep on looping your videos to remind myself to DECLUTTER

I'm due in June and need to do this so bad with my house. When you say I'm just not ready for that or mentally ready for that I COMPLETELY understand.

Because of your videos. I told my husband and kids.. “IT’S DECLUTTER WEEKEND!!” and you two are helping lol

Love that subtle Prince of Egypt reference in there! Through Heaven's Eyes is one of the best songs!!

Decluttering. Purging. Whatever you call it after 42 years in one house in preparation for moving into a new house. Learning to take small steps so my 71 year old body doesn’t scold me every night. Thanks for the video.

Ok so I had to evacuate my home a couple weeks back and while packing up the important things I realized how much stuff I have that I don’t need!! Our house is safe and we get to go back now but after seeing these videos I feel so motivated to declutter my house! Especially before baby comes in December! Hopefully this motivation stays with me till I can get back home on Monday ❤️

A great place to donate your puzzles is mental health hospitals and senior homes they really do appreciate them so much and sometimes it's all they have to do while there

We've been slowly decluttering and organising our super old house. We've had it since my grandparents were young and so its accumulated *a lot* of stuff over the past 60ish years. It's a difficult and frustrating process but my mum and I are making slow progress xD

[@khrysinmichalski7350]

I'm literally always decluttering. Like, every time I do laundry I'm parting with things! I also go through the kids toys like once a week or so to weed out a couple of toys that don't get use. It makes it so much more manageable to be constant with the most used areas. Now...the storage room is a level 10 WRECK! Not really that dramatic but there's so much unknown junk in there. I plan to go through it when we get back from our vacation at the end of the month and prepare for our neighborhood garage sale! I told my husband that whatever doesn't go at the sale is not coming back into the house! Straight to donate for sure!

[@viibinkyla3720]

Your videos give me so much peace. I love watching them before work.
