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 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.

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

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.❤️🙏🙏🙏

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.

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

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

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.

Amazing amount of stuff gone, your parents will be able to keep things organised now ❤️

We only watch you tube, they have movies that may not be the newest but it’s free.

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

Catherine… The easiest idea for the stains on the lazy Susan trays would be to use contact paper or vinyl shelf liners. I bought the Vinyl roll from Walmart and love it. It’s heavy enough to lay nice and easy to cut with lines on the back for measuring.

I enjoy your videos. Very relaxing and motivating. It's always a good feeling to decluter or donate stuff.

We get the Hulu Disney bundle on black Friday every year (alternate email address w husband) for $3.17/mo w tax. That's all we have. Sometimes we'll get Netflix for $6.99 just for 1 mo and then cancel. You can pretty much find anything online to stream after a day or two on Netflix, etc.... haven't paid for cable in 16+ years!

Walmart has some clear bins that fit perfectly in lower cabinets. This might work for your corner cabinet in your kitchen.

Your house is organised❤😊

Hi Catherine! I don't use Temu either and I only stream RU-vid 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!

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.

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 motivation. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Catherine 💓! Is this footage we've already seen?

I label all cords when I get them.

Oh I love basement decluttering because I am currently trying to organize and declutter our basement. I have a container in a bedroom closet that I keep electronic items and cords. The cords I presently need I use and know what they are for. The cords in the closet are kept there even though I don’t think I will ever need.

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!

Hi, how you doing? Hope you guys doing very well. I love what you doing. Keep it out my life to hear more of it. Please can’t wait to see the patient declared.❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

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 ❤

With Christmas cards, i used to keep the ones i would get from school friends etc and make small gift boxes or christmas decorations out of the printed side. Special cards i would keep, or take a photo/scan of the messages that were dearest to me. I'd strongly recommend taking photos or scans of what you consider special because pen ink fades/changes over time. I've got really old messages where the ink has turned fuzzy/blurry.

I've ordered probably 20 things from TEMU and I've never had a problem. One water hose came in with a bent box and I was going to send it back and they said no keep it and they refunded my money. I've had probably six or seven outfits for my granddaughter, they all turned out perfect. I ordered two purses and I just switched them around and they are still in great condition. I ordered a corded vacuum cleaner and it sucks better than my Bissell. It was only $56.00. I've been using it since February and haven't had one problem with it. Not everything is junk I don't think. Did you throw everything away in the landfill or did you declutter a lot of that to Goodwill or another company? I hope you didn't throw it all away.

Can you please share the link of where you got your over the door storage organizer for your meds?

Is the kitchen you’re working in the one in your small house? So many small space organizing videos show kitchens with much more drawer and cabinet space than mine. I live in a 1200sf rental apartment. The galley kitchen has 3 average width drawers and one very narrow drawer; 3 upper cabinets (plus a small one over the microwave); 4 bottom cabinets (counting the one under the sink); and a very narrow pantry. I’ve been looking for kitchen decluttering & organizing videos showing a kitchen like mine, but haven’t found one, yet. Good luck on your decluttering and downsizing journey!

1:01:13 I'm right there with you. I've stopped folding my undies.

Pictures go into albums on the bookshelf here, what does not fit goes into closet. Pictures of duplicate things get tossed. Family pics are offered to my kids. My cords go into a box with a shelf date, after a year if not put into a 2nd box marked used, they get tossed.

Your house is organised

What’s the most amount of bags of trash you’ve had in one your videos

💥 I hope to reach your level of ruthless decluttering 💕

Why do I feel I’ve already watched this😂

❤❤❤❤

I'm from Arizona and we can rent movies from the library for free.

Don't throw away give to charity what's good

Put photos in a photo book of holidays babies families etc I have my children’s weddings holidays grandchildren so much nicer to keep them you have them , then dispose of them and the box x

You can find almost any instructions online as a pdf, you could probably throw all those. I have been keeping instruction manuals forever and I honestly never went back to read one.

I toss all Xmas cards Jan 1st whether it’s a card or a photo card.

The dust on the door post is from your cat

Digitize the photos! Also, instruction books are available online. no need to keep them.

How does she ever cook with those cats on the cabinet?

Is this a reupload, I swear I watched this already 😂

2015

A house without a junk drawer isn't a home. It's an "Oh, look how fancy/expensive my house is."

I would love to stop folding but t can't stand all the wrinkles.

2019?

How is your Mom doing?

My opinion if. You don't have a junk drawer you don't live in your house

I won’t be using temu I can only imagine what there paying there workers if there able to give it away for pennies .
