I love when your mom is in the videos you guys are great together you should do a kitchen declutter with her I bet 30 years of stuff in there would be fun to see!
Thank you! We have been through her kitchen a while back, but I didn't video it. Maybe we can go through again with a fine tooth comb. I hope you are doing well.
I love this decluttering train analogy! I have had some resistance from my mom in the beginning too, but over time she has decided she wanted to declutter.
I’m your mom’s age...and I’ve saved a pair of nylons ( pantyhose) for “dress up”. But...when is dress up? Not so much anymore. Ha ha. It gives us comfort to know they are there, just in case..... BTW...I still call them “nylons”, too.
You and your mom are very sweet and inspiring! My dog and I watched 3 videos at 3am in cold Ohio! When the sun comes up I’m decluttering! Thank you! Take care!
My grandmother passed away and so many family members gathered a couple months later at her house to go through her stuff. It was chaos and 10 years later people are still angry about what someone else got. Then my mom passed away just a few years ago and there were problems between me, my siblings and our children with her belongings. Both times were overwhelming, a huge burden and trauma to us and I know they never wanted us to go through that, but they never thought about how much it would affect us. I don't want my kids to go through that, so I have been decluttering, organizing and doing the Swedish death cleaning method also. Your mom is so funny, and I like to watch the two of you together. It is great she is also decluttering.
Your mom makes the best faces! So expressive! When you said, let’s go through the socks again 😂😂😂. It really is so fun looking back at these older videos when she was starting her journey.
My friend and I were just talking about how we only wear like our 2 favorite comfortable bras. When one needs washed, we wear the other. Its amazing how much extra stuff we have that's never worn.🙂
your Mum is lovely, and I can relate to her as we are a similar age - 50 odd years worth of clutter is a lot to get through!! But I have started - a little at a time! She is lucky to have you helping her and 'motivating her' to get it done!
We’ve been in our current home for 19 years and there are definitely things that haven’t moved. Years ago we finished our basement and put some boxes under the stairs. They’re still there and I have no idea what’s in those boxes. I need a grown daughter who’s a minimalist too to help me.😂
My mom is Queen of Clutter! She is now in a nursing home for rehab and must go into assisted living. My brother and I had to declutter her house. What a chore. Three days later, 2 trips to Goodwill and a filled small dumpster, we are almost done! After we get her moved, we will declutter more!
i just discovered your channel through the minimal mom’s january declutter series. i love your content so far and really enjoyed the videos i’ve seen with you teaming up with your mom. what a character she is! you are so lucky to have a mom like her, she is a sweetheart and so real. thanks for sharing the things you’ve learned with us!
Watching this, I'm wondering what you and your mother were doing going through my things!?! At 74, I'm decluttering a house I've been in 42 years. Ugh! It truly never ends!
I just KNEW there was another drawer of socks somewhere. This is such a lovely walk down memory lane from when my mom was alive and I helped her purge.
Yes!!! If bras are still in excellent condition, post them on Ebay!!! I wear an odd size and the brand I prefer is made in Europe. Very hard to find in the US. I am always excited to find them on ebay!!!
Decluttering with your mother always makes me smile. You are a funny team together. And since I am a watercolor painter you made me sooo curious about your mother's artwork hidden in that stash. :-)
I love when you have your beautiful Mother on. She reminds me so much of myself. Hahaha. I’m so glad you insisted on sorting the socks! 😂👍😁👏You inspire me! Thank you, Jennifer
I love the videos of You & Your Mom , she's doing good decluttering & reorganizing; Please dont go buy more stuff , too much to manage & too much money wasted. Not every drawer or closet needs to be filled &/ or used. Keep up^ the great changes your doing, appreciate you sharing 🙂❤🇨🇦 PS The bloopers🤣
Shannon your mom is amazing! You both rock together! I've just realised how I cocoon myself with clutter. Embracing myself as I am now is more authentic than being attached to the past. Great show!
Love seeing your mom again! She’s not the only one who stores non clothing items in a dresser. LOL. I’ve lost my decluttering motivation the past couple months. Thank you both for showing how easy it can be. PS... if your mom thinks she might convert any of her old tapes to an electronic format she might want to hang onto that camera. We’re converting some old family tapes and wanted to buy a camera to view the tapes before converting them. It wasn’t easy finding one that actually worked properly.
Hi there ladies. So nice to see you together...what a strange and difficult time indeed. We are in South Australia and we are very fortunate here. Missed you Mom!! Good on you for decluttering..it is liberating isn't it?! I loved your comment about going to a party "must wear nylons"..hehe I think we go to different types of parties. You are both so lovely and genuine. Thanks for sharing :) xx
I loved this so much........and you two are both adorable......and this is so motivating too.......thanks so much Shannon and Mom! You are both so blessed to have each other and such a beautiful relationship! And 60, you look great!! Both of you are so beautiful !! Beautiful ladies, inside and out!!!
Shannon, you and your mom are so blessed to have each other to work together and clearly enjoy being together. I had a wonderful relationship with my mother and my greatest joy was being able to make her laugh; she laughed easily. She was taken far too early, and I miss her every day. Thank you for sharing with us, both the technical aspects of decluttering as you go through the process, but your mutual friendship, too.
