I took a little break in the middle of the day to watch your video and my 3 year old daughter walked in the room, looked at the screen and said "She looks beautiful." Just thought that was nice and I should pass the message along 😊 Have a wonderful day!

I agree with that! And she is so much fun! I love her! ❤️

I have 4 sisters, and together we have 7 daughters, spread out over 18 years. Some clothes- especially special occasion dresses and coats - have been worn by most of them. Managing hand-me-downs was a huge task…I feel your pain. Seriously you are far more organized in approach than I ever was!

The two antique dressers are TREASURES! The dreaded purging of clothes and decor are lifted off your shoulders for a few more months! Great job, Kristen.

I love that you keep the socks! I did the same for my daughters, and now we have passed on many of my daughters clothes to my nieces, and it is so heartwarming to see them wearing the cozy PJs and clothes. My girls were pretty easy on things so they have gotten lots of uses over the years. The socks only lasted about two children though lol.

I love that feeling of it's all done! Don't have to tackle that again until for a bit. Such an amazing feeling!!! Oh my that spider was huge!!!!! You are a trooper to keep filming. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!

Your reaction to the spider was classic! I learned to like them because my mother always said if you have spiders, you don't have roaches! Not sure how true that is, but it makes me feel better! I also recently went through my closet and kept extremely minimal stuff. I feel lighter, and it's so much easier to get ready!! Loved this video!!

I loved that baby said she wanted to snuggle, so sweet. Kids grow so fast. When you dropped that sweater I knew exactly why hahahaha we get those spiders sometimes too. I call the wolf spiders or brick bats not sure if its the right names. I get just as jumpy when I see them. I hope that one found its way outside. God bless Kristen

Decluttering and organizing feels so good. I always like to go through my containers with stored clothes for the upcoming season before I start thrifting. That way I know what I have. I'm so glad to hear that you pass on clothes from one daughter to the next. I know people who don't save the clothes and shopping for new is so expensive.

You are so funny! You seem excited all the time. I am so lethargic and dry that I am drawn to high energy people like you. I enjoyed your video very much. I had a yard sale one time in my life and I said I would never do it again and I haven't. You are right about the amount of work that goes into one. I am very happy for you.

The pieces of furniture are absolutely treasures!

You really worked hard to purge and clean out the stuff!! I am hooked on a youtuber called The Minimal Mom. She has greatly inspired me to declutter and purge. You probably know about Dawn who is the Minimal Mom. It's hard with all the clothes and shoes with kids. Good thing your girls can wear hand-me-downs...my 2 sons did! I would have to move the bed to get that spider!! It sure looked like one of those Halloween rings. Yikes!!! Your little girl is so darling! I love the dressers that you inherited! Thank you for sharing your video. You always brighten my day!!

I would never judge you, I think you are a wonderful "normal" person. I admire you very much! We all makes messes and yours is productive. 🤗

We had 5 girls in our family My mom always bought good shoes. We never wore hand me down shoes because all people, kids have a different wear pattern in their shoes. Clothes are another story.

So rewarding to have a big organization job completed. I find that 3 pairs of shoes is the right number for my girls and my home. Any more than that and they get lost or they take up to much space in my very small closet 😅

Loved the video and such an inspiration with your organization. Thanks for taking us along

You are doing great managing the inventory for three girls and your home is gorgeous. I remember wrangling clothes, shoes, winter items and toys for three boys. 😂

I am in the same season, girl! We just went through a whole house declutter and had a larger scale Garage sale as well! Having a garage sale was a huge motivator for us to let go of what we don't need and also was so rewarding to see others walk away with our beloved items with the joy of getting a great deal ❤ During our annual community wide garage sale, we play Christian radio and it is so amazing how just doing that welcomed people to open up about Christianity at our sale and ask for prayer. In a unique way, God has used our garage sale to do ministry to others. Examples of situations people have opened up about: - a woman buying frames opened up about her son that just died of covid and she was buying the frames to decorate his room with photos of him. We prayed with her for the hard season she was in. And she felt so loved by the time she left. - another lady on the way to her brother's grave saw our sign and decided to stop in. She said she felt so down on her way there and that our kindness really uplifted her today. She felt that God meant for her to come to our sale. - a gentleman came by and saw we were selling quite a few Christian books. He bought a few books and came back just to talk with us. He said he appreciated hearing our Christian music and started asking about suggestions for churches and online sermons. - a woman said she felt so lost in life. She felt so lonely since the pandemic and she decided to finally get out and go to a garage sale. We encouraged her that God has a plan for her and that she is so special to God. After speaking with us she said, "there ARE good people in the world! I really needed a reminder of that today" Many many moments like this happened where God used our garage sale so we feel so led to keep decluttering and having garage sale every year. 🎉

I dont blame u for freaking out about the spider! Love some of the items you're passing along.

You are so cute! ❤️ I really enjoy your videos. I react the same way to spiders as you do, especially the big ones! I learned if something had been in the closet for a while to shake it out before putting it on. We had two sons 4 yrs apart. Like you, I saved everything from the oldest that he outgrew (that wasnt beyond saving) and boxed them up (no totes back then) in the top of closets for the youngest. When we started raising 2 of our grandsons (also 4 yrs apart in age) I did the same thing. With all of the boys I had to stop when they reached the teen yrs (where we are now with the grands) because their styles became so different.

Omg I actually LOVE UR hair this way better 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

For the tired socks and undies: soak for a few hours in hot water in your washing machine with detergent and OXY Clean,then wash as usual.🙌🏻

I love the dressers. I love it when you can use family furniture. I was able to get a ton of stuff, mostly glass knick knacks, when my husband's grandfather died. So I have stuff to pass onto the kids of the family later. Im also really jealous you're able to do a purge. I've been wanting to do one for a while but that would require everyone to get on board. Lol.

Oh my word, thank the Lord that the spider fell out before you put the sweater on. If I put a sweater on and then it crawled out, you’d hear me scream all over the country! 😱🕷️ I think I may need to look for a medicine woman shawl for the now (thank goodness) cool mornings in Texas! Huge dumps twice a year..😂😂😂

Hey Kristen, I never have commented on one of your videos but I subscribed to you probably on the second one several months ago. I love your sweet disposition and your heart. I love the motivation to purge but I really am giving my opinion on your couches. It’s been my dream to get a beautiful white performance fabric sofa. On my last sofa maybe 2 years ago I chickened out and got a caramel leather one that I love but it isn’t extremely comfortable. So we moved recently and now I have a second living area and I just bit the bullet and did it. I love it but I had almost went with the green you have. I say stick with it, you can always go back to white later, it’s so stunning in your room. This definitely was a top contender for me.

i LOVE YOUR HAIR TODAY...we live in Ohio and the weather can go through all 4 seasons in a day. The temp has dropped about 25 degrees so we dug out sweaters and my husband found his favorite fleece lined seats pants, cause thats how we roll! Seriously though, we *it us just the 2 of us here now) our closers are large enough that I no longer switch seasons, and usually if 1 clothing item comes in, 1 goes to donate or trash, we wear clothes until they fall apart, That v neck sweater is adorable, since you tuck stuff wear a cami under it..Yeah, I don;t like showing skin either

Kristen, when that spider fell out on to the floor, I would hv turn off the camera, jerked that iron bed away from the wall & slayed that Spider. A spider on sight, throws my adrenaline into severe overdrive! I would not hv slept in that room until I knew it was really gone. I live in an old house & if you don't act fast, they disappear into the baseboards. Sorry to the people that spare them, can't do it. Loved the two dressers that came from diff sides of the family, look beautiful together. Seems like you were blessed with two very pretty rings that came from diff sides of your family to. God is so good to us!! Enjoyed this video & tks for sharing!!

Great score on the rug, it is a persian prayer rug!!

My friend just suggested we do joint yard sale to help declutter our homes. This video might just be my sign to get to business and declutter! Sorting thru the kids' clothes is always difficult for me bc we want to have more kids, but I probably keep WAY too much anyway. Never had a problem with my kids losing shoes, but we buy only barefoot/minimal shoes (and they're pricey) so we keep their shoe count low. They take them off and put them away as soon as we walk inside the house.

Hey girl! Needed this video tonight. Thanks for being here & posting consistently. Much love. 🦋💜 We need to meet up and thrift. I’m in Nebraska too. Good job on the sale girl!

Through the years I have changed all our closets to two hanging rods instead of 1. It doubles the storage. I kept one closet with a single rod for dresses.

I love the sweaters you found for your girls! The second one you showed (in brown) I found the exact same in forest green at a consignment sale recently! My little girl wore it today for the first time and it was adorable. 😁 Great taste 😜
