THROWING EVERYTHING OUT IN 2024 / Decluttering, Organizing, & Cleaning! Whole House Declutter

We collected all photos & made 41 piles bc that's what we had. Now for a Christmas gift we sent all pictures back to the ppl that we had pictures of beside cards & sent a handmade card to say I didn't want to toss ur love ones away so here they are & enjoy. And some ppl had past away & they never saw my pictures so it was beautiful to them. Think about it. I started with 1981 & boy was it a blessing to c where & how fortunate we are with friends & family. Good luck hope it helps ppl.

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t have a junk drawer. Thank you for calling out the fact that we don’t have to decorate for each season!

The longer you live in your home the more likely it gets cluttered. We have lived in our current home for 23 years and it’s pretty full. I’m on a decluttering journey as we have bought a home to downsize into. The things you find are surprising. I think I’m like your mom and just ready to let things go. When you get older and have health issues (which I do) it’s just exhausting to try and maintain your home especially with so much stuff. I want my home to be easy to clean and maintain.❤️🙏🙏🙏

I love junk drawers. Call me a weirdo,but other people's junk is waaaaay more interesting!!😂 This video is motivating. Thank you.

I love using my photos as my "home decor" so I decorate with a LOT of photos around my home and it makes me happy. You have to find what makes you happy! 💜

NO gifts...experiences ONLY. That has been our request of family and friends for the past 5 years or so. It has helped with the accumulation of random decor, mugs, candles, cookbooks, etc etc.

For the photo Christmas cards, I keep a medium sized photo album about 10 x 8 that has full page plastic sleeves. Generally one page per family, with the most current photo card in the stack on top. I'm not sure if I'll always keep them this way, but I do like having all the years in one place and accessible anytime. Graduation and baby announcements also go in this album. It's pretty stuffed, so I have a cloth band with velcro holding it all together.

I label all cords when I get them.

We only use ROKU. My husband watches FreeVee or Tubi. I watch Dateline or Oxygen on Live TV on ROKU. I only shop for things we eat, use or wear. We just bought our dream home and we're using our starter home (it's paid off) as rental property to pay our mortgage on our new home. Buying this home is worth every step it took to get here! I use the Dave Ramsey method of budgeting. We're a one income family with 5 kids. I hope this helps someone.

Yeah, decluttering never ends! Thanks for keep the constant effort to upload and create a clutter-free space.❤

Great video as always Catherine❤I love it when you show the trash bags at the end to show how much you have decluttered

I put photo Christmas cards in with my Christmas decor! When I take the bins out each year it’s fun to look through :)

the cat was eager to help 😀 i really enjoy the loooooong videos

Hi Catherine! I don't use Temu either and I only stream YouTube free movies and TV and MAX because it's free with AT&T. I also have a "junk drawer" but for some reason it feels better to call it a utility drawer. I've only bought one thing on Amazon since August. LOL. Thanks for the great video!

It was really useful to hear about Temu as I've been seeing their ads for a year now and just didn't trust them. Thanks for that first of all.

I enjoy watching these videos! I used to enjoy cleaning my grandma and grandpas house when I was younger! It was satisfying!

I don't ever have a problem with TEMU. I'm always pleased with the items I received. Sorry that you didn't have a good experience.

Everyone has a junk or utility drawer or bin somewhere in their homes even minimalists. That’s crazy if people say they don’t. Sounds like denial. Thank you for your motivation videos ❤

I have a lot of fun helping my relatives with their decluttering and organization projects. It makes me so happy that the people I care about feel comfortable enough to open up and trust me to go through their spaces. I'm glad you have a chance to create a more peaceful atmosphere for your folks. No one should feel embarrassed for needing help or for wanting to make positive changes. We all have flaws and struggles. Even after reaching a 'maintanence' level with my belongings, I still have times where things get messy. The only difference is that those messes are MUCH smaller and take very little time to clean up. I'm convinced that it's impossible for me to craft without creating a small disaster area 😂

Great Job! Ignore the comments about how your are getting rid of items! Those comments are not worth your response! Love what you did for your parents. Yes, they collect things and are the generation that didn't waste anything so they kept things just in case, plus with both parents working there just isn't the time to declutter, that goes on the back burner. It looks so great!
