    Best tip is once you have de-cluttered every time you buy a new item get rid of an old one. So if I buy 2 new tops, I look for 2 old ones to get rid of 😁 X

    If you're wondering what to do with old sheets and towels that are past giving to Goodwill, call your local animal shelter. They will most likely be able to put them to good use.

    Yes! and my next door gas station is always so glad to get my old stained dishcloths and towels, too. I do keep two extra bath towels that are old and ratty to use if the bathtub or toilet overflow, and I use one of them under the ironing board when I spray the ironing.

    I remember those early videos when you showed how you were going from overwhelming clutter to being organized. I think the best thing about these ongoing videos is that decluttering is a habit. I know I need to practice letting go of things. So any time I have a chance to practice that behavior is a good thing for me, regardless of how little I'm actually letting go of. I need the practice!!

    Honey, I will never judge anyone for how much or how little they declutter. On some of the challenge, like the freezer, it was already done for me, so I focused on something else. Also, I have areas where I don't get rid of that much, and others where I take out full garbage bags, like the garbage bag of junk I threw out from my kids' room this weekend. Thanks for challenging all of us to do this with you! Love and hugs and blessings❣

    I never really understood the multiple sheet sets. Well, one extra for kids I understand in case they're sick. Whenever I wash my bedset it just goes right back on a couple hours later. I like that mindset! It's definitely good for a habit! I've been doing a major declutter over the past couple months (and I already live fairly simply) and have been following along with you. My sister keeps saying "You have nothing to get rid of!" but I still keep finding things that I don't need/want. It's an ongoing process.

    So I always check to see if you have new videos up when I go to KZread. You are my #1 favorite! It has been like Christmas every morning to have this series! YAY! On the topic of linens, we just redecorated my daughter's room and we replaced her twin comforter. The old one had a few stains on it, so I didn't feel I could sell them or give them to Goodwill, so I took it into The Humane Society. I thought the lady was going to jump over the counter, she was so excited to get such a large cloth item. She said sometimes they get larger dogs and animals and they don't have beds large enough for them, so this was perfect! They also love shoe boxes.....so linens and shoe boxes are great for our furry friends! :)

    I like having set amount of space or set amount of number for things to keep things manageable. I have 2 sets of sheets ..1 set I am using and 1 clean set under my bed in the clear plastic bag that it came in . My mom has probably 20 sets that are new and old and take up the entire linen closet. I no longer want to live with things ... just the ones I love or need.

    I thought I decluttered my house. So when I saw this series pop up, I was like “yeah yeah, ive already decluttered utinsels. I already got rid of Tupperware. I already xyz”. Then I watched the videos and went back to each area an OH MY GOODNESS!! I got rid of sooooooo much more stuff!! I realized I was holding on to things just because they e always taken up that space so I was kind of immune to it actually being clutter. I had 6 paring knives. They came in a set for $1 at Walmart and they’ve always lived in my cutlery drawer. Now wait a minute....when would I ever need to use 6 paring knives all at the same time??? Never!!! Lol. I kept 2.

    I love how you fold the fitted sheet! Lol. Thats how my husband folds my clothes if he does the laundry because all my clothes are basically jersey fabric, lol. In his defense, I actually dont fold my clothes but roll them to put then in the drawers, lol.
