I love when your mom is with you , she’s so funny ! The way you encourage her but respectfully and kindly is why I enjoy your decluttering videos more than most . Some others are so cold and demeaning concerning others belongings . They hold a lifetime of memories for some . You and your mom have a lovely relationship! 🥰👏 So great to see !

My grandmother lived to 89. Everytime I visited her she would want to buy a new photo book. After her funeral, my aunt invited the family to my grandma's house. She opened the closet and there were all the photo books. They were labeled with each person's name. The book contained the family history pages with everyone and then personal photos relevant to just the person of the book. My aunt explained all the hours grandma had spent. It was such a special parting gift. She had 8 children and 32 grandchildren. She also had a closet full of her beautiful handmade quilts with labels of each family member. She always said that she didn't want any arguments after she was gone.

As always, when these two get together, I grinned all the way through. Last year I went through all my photo's so I know how tough and yet easy it is. I came to a stage where I asked myself, "How many photo's of the Nile do I need, to remind myself that a sailed down the Nile?" The answer was, "Just one. Not half an album's worth."

When I gathered all our photos (not including those in albums) I had a stack of boxes that was over 5’ tall - crazy! I came up with a plan: 1) get rid of all duplicates, 2) select a specific number to remember each trip/vacation/event (i.e. 5, 10, 20) and toss all the others 3) get rid of all pictures with people/friends that your children wouldn’t know or care about, 4) keep a small amount (must fit in a small album or box) you might want to keep for personal reasons/memories that can be tossed when you die. 5) Label and date pictures kept. Get rid of those you can’t label and/or date. Even though I have a plan, I haven’t decluttered them. I need to get busy! 😅

Hi Sherry, you mentioning that looking at photos makes you sad is something I can related to. I think most people think saving all the photos equals saving the memories, but sometimes photos do make us sad and why would we want to look through and feel that. This is why it's so hard to go through photos.

This was so interesting and ‘funny’. I helped my Mom declutter photos starting during our second CoVid lockdown…it took us an entire year though not working on it every day. It was 80 years worth plus 3 previous generations worth and so many of her trips. She did so well and we got rid of so many photos. She also compiled 1 ‘life album’ where she took only the absolute most precious and iconic photos and put them all in one album. It would also be easy so if there was a fire she could just grab one album and it would be ok if all others were lost.

I have a very large bin with photos from my childhood, my husband's childhood, and photos of my kids. I always meant to put them in photobooks, but now of an age I just don't have the energy, A couple of summers ago, I went through them slowly at first and separated photos for each adult child. I purchased photo boxes (acid free) and placed their photos in their box. Reorganized and had more space, still haven't completed the job but its not a huge mountain anymore.

Cake container: use as cake holder, (cakes of all sizes,) carrying things to other peoples houses, salad / fruit salad bowl, marinating large things, large doggie water bowl, storing small toys eg Legos, bowl for all fruit when you have lots of grandkids or friends over, soaking clothes in bleach overnight. Lots of other uses. So keep especially if lid closes securely. Also can store little used items inside like extra napkins, small mixer, etc ( Christmas silverware, napkins, decor, strings of lights) IF you find you are having to unpack those things too frequently then take them out OR if only once a year, then you really DON'T need the cake dish so then donate. You can often buy such things at the dollar store or thrift store.

Hi Shannon. Greetings from the uk. I went through my photos during lockdown and decluttered I would say about 10.000 and loads of albums which were taking up so much space. It did take me a few weeks and I felt exhausted by the time I had finished. Most were duplicates when we would always take a few just just in case they didn’t turn out right. Some were of someone looking away from the camera or had their eyes closed. Out of those photos I just kept the best. Strangely enough I decided at the weekend that I was going to go through them again to reduce them even more. I can’t see future generations looking through mountains of photos. I bought a photo box which has separate compartments which you can label. They don’t have to be in order which is really good because you can add photos as and when you find them to that particular category. l find with photo albums if you find a photo later on, you need to move all the photos just to put them in order. I throughly enjoyed your video today as I always do and always even more when you are with your mother. My very best wishes to you as always. Pamela.

Awful thing to say but I wish my in laws would do a Swedish death clean. They have sooo much stuff the house fills me with anxiety. Also, my partner is a hoarder. Anything they give us he takes and keeps. Would be worse if they pass away. He's already wasted loads of money 💵 on storage for years before we moved. It's so refreshing for both parties. My mum couldn't bring herself to throw anything before she passed (as she knew she was sadly dying). I'm pleased I never said anything as I preferred to spend quality time with her and not decluttering. It took us all a long time to declutter house after as we all are sentimental. Bless her x

I know decluttering and keeping less is important but look at how much you two laughed and had a good time together reminiscing. Photos are important. Make digital photo books so you can go back and enjoy these pictures again in the future and share them with your kids some day.

I love the idea of sorting photos by what you want to keep vs what to get rid of. I have very few of the former. Makes it much easier. 😂😂😂

I used to love taking pictures on all of my foreign trips and my work abroad what I did is I chose 50 pictures that best defined that trip as if I was putting together a photographic book.

Photos are the toughest! I worked on mine for just 15 minutes a day since decision fatigue would set in. I made multiple passes, and it was like peeling an onion. With each pass, I tossed more. I found that the best storage for me was a three ring binder that made it easy to move photos.

I have a good storage tip for all those water bottles (gleaned from another decluttering channel) - go to the Dollar Store and get some magazine racks, then you can "file" them vertically and it takes up less space (that and decluttering extra water bottles - you only need 1 per person, or if you live alone you may keep two max!)
