decluttering *ALL* our toys & books ... Minimizing Our Home One Room At A Time // Ep. 02 

“It’s gorgeous but it never gets played with” I finally went through all of our lovevery toys and wooden collection and put it in the donation pile. There are so many children who live in shelters who would adore these beautiful developmental toys.

In America there is something called Dolly Partons Imagination Library. Once you sign up they send your kid a new book every month for free until they turn 5. You never put in any payment information and it is not income based. They have to have a base in your area but look it up. It's amazing 👏

It’s so nice you have a whole room for their toys and a whole closet for their toy rotation.

I love that you let the kids chatter and play and continue to play or talk while you vlog. It helps us as watchers or parents ourselves to see that this is realistic! And it helps your children Im sure so much :) to not feel like all the fun is stopped when mummy has to turn on the camera. Love it!

My pregnant nesting self is very happy about this series haha

I love how you keep in the footage of your kids interrupting you. Real life!!

I still have to go through and donate my kids' clothing, toys, and books before Christmas. I do this before every major holiday, birthday, etc. to free up space for the new items and not have SO much to avoid feeling overwhelmed and stressed. It's extremely satisfying and something I look forward to. My oldest is 9, so she does this with me as well. It's great bonding time. This video made me even more motivated to get it all done. Thank you for sharing ❤️

These videos are some of my favourites! For someone like me who doesn’t like clutter, who likes organizing and decluttering my home I find these videos SO satisfying!! My head fills so much clearer when my home is not in shambles and cluttered up by random things/things that I haven’t used in over a year. I feel like I can breathe and I feel a lot calmer. Thank you, Delilah for this wonderful video 🤗

This has been a very motivational video for me! I have 3 daughters ages 3 and under and the amount of toys we have accumulated is quite overwhelming. We try and be very thoughtful about things that we bring into our home, but it is definitely time to declutter. Sometimes I have a hard time getting rid of something that was a more pricey item, but there really is no need to hold onto it if my children aren’t playing with it!

Removing the wooden tool bench made such a difference! Your gorgeous window gets to shine all the more!

I feel the same.. the clutter causes stress... I want to do what you're doing and it's so hard for my brain to accomplish what you're doing lol... I'm working on being more organized but also on being at peace regardless of the state of my home (as long as I'm doing my best that is).

Cleaning along side watching this today! You've been a friend for years to me 💗

I’m new here but already in love with your videos, style, and the way you treat your babies… you’re such an inspiration 🥰

Love this series! I’m in the first trimester and want to clean/nest/de clutter and this is the inspiration I need to get stuff done during naptime and not plop on the couch.

Oh Delilah I GET YOU! I am in the exact same place right now. I realized that having so many things to maintain and manage and inventory and trip over was so stressful for me and made my head explode. Then I was very short tempered and I wasn’t very happy etc. so I have just ruthlessly decluttered things and it is so nice. The house may have a few odds and ends on the floor but it is so peaceful to just be able to look around and not see clutter everywhere. And I am still trying to declutter even more. Side note: you and I both do the same thing with our hands when we’re talking when we’re stressed like putting your fingers together and it’s really funny to see you do that too. I never did that until I was a mom lecturing my children about something hahahahah Praise the Lord for being there with us through this season of motherhood. He’s teaching me so much about myself to my children.

It always feels good to declutter and organize things 😊

Such a great way to organize the toys by themes

What a huge job! So interesting to watch!

I’m so glad I found your channel. I have been loving your content!

Loved so much I’m going right in to watch again! So encouraging 🤍

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE VIDEOS!!! I need this motivation in my life!! YAY!

This has given me such great motivation to get moving and decluttering in time for Christmas! Thank you ❤

So excited for the kitchen deep clean!

We have SO many toys in our playroom downstairs, I could have people come shop (for free) and I'd be so happy, haha

Grrrrrl perfect timing In cleaning out our house today so I’m thoroughly enjoying this video

I love your vlogs on this topic. 😍

This is my favorite kind of content!

i love this series!! it motivates me to organize my own home :) thank youuuu!

I just love the aesthetic of your playroom

Im decluttering my toddlers toys today and so I’m rewatching this video because I can always count on you to encourage and inspire me! I’ll be watching your new video tonight! Love your channel Delilah

Declutter the water beads!! I’ve been following a story of a kiddo William’s age who had one lodged in their intestine. Three surgeries, sepsis, not worth the risk!!!

I need this video as inspiration!! Thank you, delilah.. 😘

Yayyy I love your vlogs so so much!! And I’m also decluttering with you❤

Theo shooting the arrow backwards... 🤣🤣🤣❤

I have a lot of anxiety and I love to watch your videos it calms me down thank you!

I love organizing it’s therapeutic. ❤

You are a very hardworking mum! Good job! 🎉

I love decluttering, good job guys finally getting rid of the things you know your kids don't play with.

I really enjoyed this video, because I think it is intresting to see with what kind of toys other peoples children play. :D

All the toy food makes me want to be a kid again I would've DIED for those little connectable veggies :o

growing up my sister and I only had like 5-6 toys in total coz my mum didn't have a lot of money so seeing all these toys the kid inside me can't help but get excited! your kids are so lucky to be growing up in such a happy loving home! watching you declutter was so relaxing :) happy holidays!

I needed this type od movie 😁

You’re inspiring me to take care of some hot mess areas in my house.

I’m here for it all. 🍿 these kind of videos fill my soul! 💕

Good work! I wish I lived near your donation center!! 😍

Thanks for this video! It is inspiring. 🤗 I was thinking after you mentioned your house feeling chaotic and then watching the video, I wonder if it would be helpful to group all like items together instead of splitting them among all of the rooms. It might help you and the kids remember where each item goes!

If you use some wax on the wooden drawer slides, it makes old drawers glide smoothly ☺️

Your little one looks so much like you 😍😍😍He is your twin 😊So adorable 💖

Yay early video!! ❤

Our poke a dot books look exactly like that after only months!

I haven't even watched the video yet but I know it's going to be good. It's Delilah so of course it's going to be amazing

I loveee that you are decluttering all this. I love that you have your own nice large house that has space in general, even if you do have some stress of these things to declutter. You did a great job cleaning up. All your littles are having so much fun. I love that your kids were playing with what you were trying to declutter haha. Don't you love having a homeschool cabinet? I had a homeschooling section in my closet. Man I miss going through homeschooling things every year. . .I sent my teens to public school last year but our surprise baby on the way will be homeschooled so yey. Eventually we'll go through this again. I love the basket bins you have at about 18 minutes! So pretty. I can tell this all took time but you look so much happier at the end of your video compared to the beginning.

Soooo satisfying :D

I'd love to see a video of your favourite educational toy recommendations if you have time, please. Really enjoyed this video as well as what you got the kids for Christmas. Thank you.

I literally laughed out loud when you are talking in your intro & your son went to shoot the arrow and it flew backwards and he goes “woah!” 😂😂

What a totally statisfying video to watch. That must have taken so much time!! But so worth it.

It seems like you’re giving away a whole bunch of your Lovevery toys. At first, I was surprised to see that because the exact toys you’re showing are my daughter’s favourite ones at the moment 😆 (same age as William). It’s funny how different kids are.

The kiwi co ball run! I have been looking to find that second hand for my son for christmas

When you went to the basement closet I got so much anxiety haha! I try so hard to stay on top of toys and books. Honestly glad I have a small house so that much doesn’t get brought in

To everyone reading, there are studies showing that the more objects a household has, the more stressed the mother of the household is. So every, even single item less, the better and calmer we'll all be :)

Oh Thanks for this Video.... it's time for me to go through our Kid's Toys! What a mess sometimes and some Toys they receive they're only excited about it a short time. We will definitely consequently say ,,Goodbye'', do some of those Toys! And keep only those they often play with. 👍🏽

Delilah- You're so wonderful and beautiful- I love your videos so much

I wanna shop at the thrift store you’re donating too!😂🤍🛍️

awesome job! :)

When we were moving 6 years ago we dumped all the toys in our garden and it took the whole backyard. I had 4 in 4 years and so my daughters got a lot of toys and we donated a lot to a charity who helps teenage mothers/fathers to get started

turn the magazine holders onto the spine side (longest edge on the bottom), all the stuff still stays in them. i do that for mine, i have a fixed shelf and the fit perfectly.

So timely right before Christmas, I've been doing this progressively since October. Ready for another round soon. Sometimes you just have to do it all in phases too. I usually readily have a mental list of things I know need to go, things I'm not quite sure about, and things that I need to come to terms with getting rid of (for one reason or another). So I'll do some one week, more a week or two later, and more a week or two after that. Like you said, it's totally an ongoing process you always will have to revisit.

Hello ❤❤😊 i’ m sooo happy … New vidéo ❤😊❤😊

Our kiddos have sooooo many books and we got rid of big bins and we still have so many 😅 we love books

Rather than get rid of the beautiful wooden aeroplane, I’d add some fishing line or string and hang from the ceiling in one of the kids rooms. Xx

More shelves in the toy rotation closet!

I love that you do have some plastic toys in there. superheros are the best

When Theo pulled the bow and arrow backwards and it shot behind him 😂😂😂 “Whoa” 😂

Nice to know where everything is and what you have to work with

I was waiting for the rundown of the donated toys to take inspo of potentially not getting the same x.x

Love your decluttering videos! Always gives me the spark of inspiration I need to tackle some small project. Maybe not a big one, or all of it...but something! Haha!

What do you use for cleaning the toys? I’m looking for a non toxic safe spray!

Thanks for being my inspiration today! My toy declutter will be a multiple day job for sure. P.s. where is your living room rug from?

I have to know what brand your daughters wide leg clothing set is from! Sooo adorable and comfy!

Me to my husband while watching… “Doesn’t this just make you want to go clean and organize something? It does to me!!”

I'm so curious about how your printer works? How could it connect to the socket if you put it into the cupboard? Did you make a hole in the back of the cupboard?

Where do you get your play kitchen supplies from? I got my almost 2 year old a play kitchen and really want to get some cute accessories that aren’t just a bunch of plastic. I love the cabbage that you can peel leaves off of and the wooden vegetables you can cut!

I have 2 small children and a teenager. I started to minimize my house last year. It's very easy to clean my house now and keep the stress levels down. Honestly kids don't need much to play with.

What mop do you use? I’ve never seen one like that.

Would love to know where your fun indoor climbing gym is from!

I always do a pre Christmas de clutter, it helps me enjoy the holidays so much more because I’m not stressing about where everything is going to go! I noticed the mella clock in your kids room, I’m considering getting one for my daughter, does it work well for your family?

🎉🎉🎉

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

🌟

Since your getting rid of old toys, you should realllly get rid of your water beads. They are incredibly toxic and deadly, esp for infants and toddlers. I really encourage you to look into how it’s killing and hurting children. They are not safe!!

👏👏👏

Useful video...in India baby books are too expensive...lots of love from India

What’s the paint color of your hutch/cabinet in the playroom?

Why not make downstairs the homeschool space

I thought you have much more toys! My boy do not accept toy rotation. He plays with everything all the time. I hide something- he always asks about that stuff 😂

Where is the kitchen from??

I miss the accidental toy arrows hitting me.

What is a legal bedroom?

I follow you for your home stuff and decor and reno but im hoping that this will also get me to like kids more. I'm 25 so kids are no where near my future yet, and a lot of me doesnt want kids at all and I dont like being around them or dealing with them, but also part of me does want to be a mom....maybe eventually. I'm not good with small children like toddlers. So i'm hoping you will help me ease up and also know how to deal with them and have patience

my mother got rid of ALL our toys as kids ..like nothing is left except one doll...and we still have that grudge ...
