Decluttering and Organizing | Swedish Death Cleaning!

[@myriammartinez2876]

Your mum is so refreshing! I jump on your videos when I see her in it! She is the representation of every one else out there and she talks her mind off. She is also always trying to give you things that YOU DON'T NEED!!! Which I find hilarious! Watching from France 😊

[@katiegleaves3792]

yes - I LOVE watching these two work together - what a delightful team! When Cathy tries to give everything to Shannon, I feel like it's Cathy's way of seeking permission to let the things go. Things she's been holding on to "just in case" or sentimental/family heirlooms, things she's "outgrown" or considered passing down to family members. Many parents/families hold on to "extra items" for those reasons: especially antiques, heirlooms, older (but still good quality) items that you've since replaced/upgraded, thinking that someone else might need them, and keeping "excess" on hand for family gatherings (like having 12 place settings, but only 2 people live there). How lucky that this mother/daughter get to discuss the items "in-the-moment" while they're working through the downsizing/decluttering process together!

Thank you so much!!

[@ginatheng9506]

Watching fm Singapore ❤

[@ginatheng9506]

Totally agree with Haraneille😊

[@tinabennett8524]

I DO love watching your mom, I enjoy the stories and her natural ways, it’s comforting and friendly. I’m glad she gave the bird mite story, It was something I learned with an unfortunate situation too🫤 I am going through my clutter year by year bringing the levels down, bringing less in and living in a more relaxed environment, but I’m not a minimalist. I appreciate how your mom talks it out, she’s vocalizing what her reasoning is and that’s great!, I’ve found myself speaking aloud to myself when decluttering 😂 asking when I’m going to use it or what it is. Thanks to your my, from me.

[@youandmeandmultiplescleros402]

Your mom has become pretty comfortable in front of the camera. She's such fun!

[@ColleenBee]

The difference in your moms ability to declutter compared to some of your previous videos is awesome! Great progress!

[@ahavilan7033]

Your mom is an absolute doll. ❤Thank you for sharing her with us. I’ve really enjoyed watching you two with through their house.

[@stephandozzie]

Yay!! Your decluttering with mom videos are my favorite. I love seeing people who have already decluttered go back thru their stuff over and over because that's what I'm doing!

[@emilyswinarski]

You and your mom are such a hoot! 😂 I love when you declutter together!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Emily!

[@kc3503]

Your mom is hitting home runs with the second passes through her cabinets. There's always more once those declutter muscles get going. Great teamwork!

[@fianorian]

You two are better than a sitcom. And it's time I rechecked my tool cupboard.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! Yay you were able to declutter too =)

[@lindaroyal8161]

Agree, I would so watch the Shannon & Mom sitcom or Netflix series.

[@razsbags]

@@lindaroyal8161 I like watching on KZbin - save the money saved not having Netflix & put it towards a family holiday.

[@jamieanthony6527]

OMG, your mom could have her own show! She just is so funny, and lively. Bravo to both of you for motivating us all thru your deculttering journey.

[@laurac56]

A big cabinet of DVDs (husband won’t give up) now down to one book of them without culling any. Required giving up the cases.

[@dorotasulewski82]

Videos with your mom should be at least 1 hour long. She makes me smile 😃

[@MaximusG6]

I said it and I say it again: I love your mom!!! You are such a fun team 🤩

[@sockbunbunp2764]

I watch your mom n daughter videos because it reminds me of that relationship. My mom passed 10 years ago….😢

[@JO0201]

You two are the absolute best! You are an inspiration to others, bonding with each other while adding to your already beautiful history, and helping each other make a healthy relationship with stuff! Your mom is awesome, but so are you, Shannon. Light and love to you both - two beautiful souls! ❤️🙏 ~Jackie

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Jo!

[@Nemrac-kn8jm]

Yeah! You are a great pair! Your mom is really hilarious! Great job!

[@Jessica_Jones]

So well said! I have been helping my mom here and there with decluttering, and while it's actually been overwhelming at times, I will never forget all of the time we've spent visiting and being a team together, even talking through precious or difficult memories. Had not fully reflected on this until now, thank you 🥹❤️

[@michelledawtrey193]

Your mom is awesome; such a fun lady

[@sharonfox5643]

I'm new to your channel and it's my favorite. Ya'll are so real. I'm not stressed as much just watching. Lots of laughs and easy going fun while decluttering. Love seeing how down to earth you two are, really decluttering and explaining how and why you declutter. Those little tidbits helps us to get motivated.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@BANOON]

Hi! I have the same carved wooden "spork", I herited it from my godmother. It's a salad spoon, came in a set with a spoon that I still have. Theyre the only salad spoons I use! ☺️ Precious useful things are my favorite treasures, and I get to see them every day!

[@hairtiecoocoo]

Twelve minutes and 37 seconds was not enough of you two!

[@cynthia6771]

You're mom is hilarious! She needs her own chanel 🤣

[@michelgauthier4953]

Your mom is the star of the show!!!

[@laurawiggers3422]

This was so fun!!

[@marshamengel1769]

I love watching your videos especially when your Mom is in them! I smile the entire time! I'm of her generation and can relate! I love her antics and your reaction to them! I love your responses when she attempts to give everything to you! Your relationship is so special!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!!

[@kathyhicks810]

Too much fun!

[@koala2464]

Oh so many of your kitchen/food tools are in my mothers drawer, for me and my siblings to inherit 😂 I agree with Mum, that mid century spork is beautiful.

[@Noreenlee1]

" Um! That's some mighty broth we have there!" I laughed out loud.

[@julejustjule]

Your Mom is a hoot! I always look forward to Cathy being in a video because I know I will get a good laugh.

[@MyBlessedNest]

I love when you do videos with your Mom! The oils were the funniest moment! 😂😂

[@bettyplourde2786]

Your mother is a riot! I especially love videos with the two of you! Please do more!

[@judyellen4412]

I have a pickle fork exactly like that! It was my mother’s who has since pasted away. Great video you two! Love you guys!

[@Peacefullyliving]

I loved this! You and your mothers dynamic is so special and real. Thank you for sharing her with us and the practical decluttering tips!

[@tinamoore6352]

You and your mom are hilarious!

[@conniesmith3922]

Love it when you declutter with your Mom! So fun. 💕💕💕

[@shannontorrens1]

Yay! Thank you!

[@DebbieLinville]

You are so right ! “ I look in there. I don’t know what to do with it sooo I close the drawer. “ I identify sooo much !

[@pattimihalic5443]

You can donate those videos to your local library. Our library resells them once a year with other books. They use the money for purchasing new books etc for the library.

[@tomaszwyszkowski2253]

Love your mom"s energy, she is so funny.

[@jwoo222]

Y’all are so hilarious together! Thanks for the decluttering inspiration!

[@jillh.9617]

I was smiling the whole way through this video. Yeah, who doesn’t love an oil scented fart? You guys are so real. Love!

[@gwenj5419]

Put some cork on the back of Italian tiles and use those for coasters.

[@valorielynwhitman8531]

Again, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your mom. 💕 She's a hoot! 🦉Reminds me of me only funnier. I understand thinking that you have decluttered somewhere only to go back to it to find more. One of these days my "Swedish Death Cleaning" will be complete. Ha ha!!!! 😂 Maybe it will be when my children get to finish it, LOL 😆. Thanks Shannon. 👍

[@jenniferours3132]

Literally LOVE all your videos but the ones with your Mom are truly magical. I always crack up every time!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you!!

[@alexanderbt1987]

I love that your Dad has the Eagles set 1977-1999. I'm IMPRESSED, he has excellent taste! It looked like a book but most likely is either a case holding 2-4 DVD's, possibly a documentary or CD's. I could be wrong but I just had to mention it. 😁

[@shannontorrens1]

I am pretty sure its DVDs of concerts. We love the Eagles!

[@kathymoore1651]

Your mom is great! A natural on camera. You both looked like you were having so much fun. I really enjoyed watching!

[@mangopuppybaby]

Shannon you mom always makes me laugh. She’s so fun. She always makes me smile.

[@MyNancyw]

I love how your mom tied her drawstring into a perfect little bow! I'm going to try that!

[@anne-mareefalzon3579]

Your mum is adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@em......]

I say it every time, but I have to say it again - I love your mum. She is precious. 💕💕

[@katiegleaves3792]

one of my best friends has that same antique Carving Fork with the bone/antler handle. The "floppy pointy part" between the fork and the handle, is so you can set the fork down without setting it on a plate/linens, etc. (like a built-in spoon rest, or tripod) It also acts as a guard so that you don't accidentally slice your hand if the knife slips (particularly when slicing a large roast horizontally)

[@cantocant2346]

This is the best series on youtube right now!! I love you and your Mom. She's the "funny man" and you're the "straight man", 😄😄😄😄😄

[@mindymudge7247]

Love you helping your mom. I really enjoy your videos

[@estiefranks6468]

Love your mom. She is hysterical 😂

[@vivian9803]

I love Kathy! She’s funny and nice and gorgeous, too. What a lovely series of memories you’re creating here, Shannon. 💗

[@Coopfarms5]

Your mom is hilarious!❤

[@aliblue3605]

I love seeing you and your mom decluttering. My favorite of your videos.

[@karenk380]

I wish I lived closer to my parents. so much stuff😒. I was able to fill the recycle bin with empty boxes the last time I visited(sadly there are many more), filled the garbage can and took home the China hutch and ten paper boxes full of miscellaneous. Progress. How do you get rid of things out of season? (i.e.Christmas in April). I'm sure you have mentioned it in a video somewhere🤔.Do you just keep a pile in the garage and take it to the thrift when in season? Sometimes, there is more to the logistics in decluttering than we realize. Thanks for sharing. I get inspired watching others declutter😊

[@happilyeverafter9988]

Big thumbs up. 👍

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@marlenejohnston4854]

Shannon, I just love seeing you help your mom declutter her home. This is the BEST!!!!

[@nancyfeeser4653]

Love you guys! I hope your Mom never stops decluttering. I can relate so much to her. 😂

[@annw1395]

Puppy pads are good for many uses: kids, seniors, protecting surfaces. Check hazardous waste rules when disposing of household cleaners and chemicals.

[@jackiegenandt6661]

I have really enjoyed this decluttering series with your mom and her home! Tfs with all of us!!!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!

[@luciegallagher2710]

Wow, you two are just fantastic together!!! Love it 😂❤

[@wlhampton]

I just love your mom! I wish I could get mine on board with letting go of things. She doesn’t want to get rid of anything. Even years old expired food and medications.

[@rosywilson3076]

Hugs

[@labradorite8256]

If she'll watch, show her one of these vids, I've been decluttering for ages and even I got inspired from them. Watching Cathy be so realistic yet keep her humour makes you realise it's not that hard or scary.

[@Janeva08]

Love, love, the videos with your mom😊❣️Jannike 🇸🇪❤️Boom🤣

[@bonessam9618]

OMG, your mom just cracks me up!! I LOVE her humor. 😂🤣😂 I would totally fit in with your family. 😁 Once again, awesome job on decluttering. I just dropped off more items to the thrift store today. Great feeling!

[@shannontorrens1]

Good job on decluttering =)

[@kariwhitehead3952]

Haha my mom's about the same age as your mom and was so excited about her pickle too.

Mom, you are my favorite on you tube. I wish you had your own channel. Think about it. Us,grandmas need your joyful humor. Shannon is a doll. Love her videos, but when you are on, I can’t click fast enough. You represent us empty nesters struggling to let go of a lifetime of possessions and make our lives easier and simp,ivied in the process.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much!
