FINALLY Decluttering My House | MINIMALISM

Minimalism with young children should be considered an Olympic sport - great job!

[@kathleen2958]

Agreed!

I love how respectful you are when it comes to your children’s rooms. I don’t think most people think about that stuff, but your room can be very personal and private even as a kid

Holly Palmer I’m not crazy right? She used to show their rooms? Because I feel like I remember seeing them before. I wonder what changed!

[@hellymia88]

Annie Chen people were criticizing her bc her son sleeps on a mattress on the floor and doesnt have a real bed. And now shes "respectful of their rooms". 🙄

[@leahhjeannette]

Izabela Emanuela Not sure if you are being derogatory towards her having Calvin’s mattress on the floor, or the people complaining about his mattress on the floor... However, coming from another mother’s perspective, I would much rather my son roll off of his mattress with it being on the floor, vs. it being elevated in a bed. Bed frames serve little purpose anyway.

[@JoyceMary89]

Leah Jean my sister in law did the same with my niece. The little 2 year tornado gets out of bed at the we hours of the night, to her parents bed, and she put the mattress on the floor so when she gets out of bed, she doesnt break her teeth.

[@selina9802]

Would you consider making a minimalistic bathroom tour? Like what products you use and stuff

[@maddymichael8998]

Yess and recommendations for things to swap out what people normally have to make it more minimal. I'm not sure if that makes sense so a simple example would be instead of having a toilet, sink, and mirror cleaner just finding one that could tackle all three

They have a north location in Surrey bc I've attended. Baptist goes back to the bible...john the Baptist!! Baptism comes after you get saved. Not necessary for salvation.

Like if Sarah has inspired you to: - Getting up early to spend time with the Lord - Be more positive about being a mom - Be more mindful of what and where you buy - Declutter and organize your home - work out and stretch Yes Sarah you're doing an amazing job of being a good rolemodel! Keeping you in my prayers.

Yes, all of the above! Literally word for word all of this

[@emilydalacio7009]

I am so happy I found your channel while in high school! You make minimalism/decluttering/sustainability seem like such an obtainable lifestyle and it is so encouraging. I'm so excited to move into this type of living as I move into college and beyond!

[@alison2984]

I started when I lived at home and now had my own home and 2 kids (from baby to now todder) it's such a good lifestyle and keeps me from being overwhelmed ❤

[@audreyNi]

That is so great you allow your children to be a part of the decluttering I am sure it feels like more work but that’s great so the grow up knowing it’s okay to let things go and not keep everything

[@zo8449]

Wait, I’m so confused. I very vividly remember seeing your kids rooms, specifically Ivy & Ellie’s room when you hung stuff on their walls and vacuumed their floors. I think their rooms were shown in another declutter or cleaning video actually. I hope I’m not coming off as rude, I just thought that the kids rooms were shown before and by the sounds of it, it seemed like you were saying you never showed their rooms before. Privacy for your kids is important and you’re doing a good thing for them now 😌

[@ashleepitremont1]

She has showed all of their rooms many times in videos. I’m assuming this is a new way of doing things, as her channel grows. Makes sense one why she doesn’t feel comfortable with it anymore

[@candycandyissodandy]

Yes I was just thinking the same! I do think she’s adjusting and changing things as her audience grows. I applaud her, it’s important for their privacy but also safety.

[@KS-sb8ic]

@@SarahTherese I totally support that you do not want to show your kids rooms anymore. It is the place where they are the most vulnerable. You go mama!

I would also like to add as a foster/adoptive mama, we are strongly advised not to show our children’s rooms for privacy so I think it’s a good move on Sarah’s part for the future.🥰 Love you Sarah! Love the de clutter videos as well!

If you're just getting into sustainable swaps I feel like the bathroom is the easiest place to start. The kitchen has been hard for me, but bathroom swaps are super easy and save a ton of money! We are a family friendly of 4 with only 1 bathroom, but ours isn't packed full either because sustainable swaps have absolutely saved us!

As things in thw world change, especially online, I am even more grateful for your cheerful, and more importanly REAL presence on YT! Thank you for another lovely vidoe! As so many of us are now making HUGE life changes into homeschool with whats going on in the world, could you consider doing an updated video on that? I know your children are younger but it feels SO daunting when searching online for encouragement in that area right now. Lots of us are transitioning into this new world and our heads are spinning as to where even start and it feels like our lives have been tipped upside down. xoxo

Thank you so much for the intro to the Nellie wow mop! I just got mine in a phenomenal deal on eBay. I have a 4,000 square foot house, 3 toddlers and am 6 months pregnant so this is a life saver! I also make all my own non-toxic cleaners, detergents, and so on, so being able to refill it with my own cleaner is amazing!!! I bought some extra pads so that I can use it to buff wax into my very abused wood flooring. GOD BLESS YOU!

[@ACC-2929]

I easily declutter with my kids around. I tell them about the importance of having a neat home in which we can be comfortable. They get overwhelmed with clutter so they help. Also knowing that we hand down/donate to others (most times we actually know who our items go to) they feel good about helping. (Which it’s not always just about used items, we buy new toys during Christmas to donate and the kids love picking out the toys to give). It’s about teaching them good habits.

[@maisusaamaki1069]

This is not a big deal necessarily, but please do not joke about "your OCD" if you dont actually have one. It's a bit disrespectul for people that suffer from it on daily basis. And you can 't always tell from outside who has it and who dont. Your orderliness and preference for tidy environment can be described in other words (like i did). Regardless, you are amazing, and I love your content and I wish everything best for you 😊. God bless!

[@autismenlightenment]

Real ocd sucks but there is a personality type that is similar called obsessive compulsive personality disorder. It has more to do w personal preference for order and cleanliness and perfectionism. it's not a mental illness. It is possible to have one or both together. I have both. My ocd is pretty much under control but I still want order in my home, especially now that I have a baby on.the way. It may come down to are you controlling your life or is your life controlling you?

Before I just buy an item co'z I really like it, BUT NOW, though I like the item so much, I think for how many year this thing would last or how many style I could make from it *if it is a clothing*. And the funny thing, when I first do a decluttering to my stuffs, my closet was kinda like a ghost town as I donated 3/4 of my stuffs that are not being used for some years. 😂 Well, looking forward for more videos.

I have been off and on going through stuff and only keeping my favorite things. You videos inspire me. I am finding when I have to much stuff that it drives me crazy. Now I must admit what I have might be a tad more for others but I really do not have a ton for the size of my house. I so enjoy plants so I have bought some rmore of those. I also have been really downsizing my closet a lot. I used to years ago in my 20's have tons and tons of clothes and half of it I really did not wear. So now I am trying to be mindful in my 50's to think about what I buy and I still at times get things and say why did I buy this but I am working towards change. I enjoy your videos.
