I am literally in tears over here because of the information. My wife and I are in fact so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff! I can’t wait to embark on this journey!

You are an awesome human! ❤❤

Another thing worth mentioning is your children will thank you for decluttering their toys when they're grown up! I'm in my early 20s and have been burdened with the task of decluttering my numerous childhood toys because my parents were too sentimental to do it. I've spent countless hours listing them to sell and give away because I feel environmentally obliged to do so rather than sending them to landfill or donating.

I dont buy toys, but my mother in law shows love this way.. including garage sale items (she has plenty of money but just cant resist).. there's so much joy shared by grandma giving things, and kids receiving.. im just on the other end swiming in crap!

[NicoKwagmire]

OMG- THANK YOU!!! My entire life I've been so good at organizing and these past few years I feel so overwhelmed. I'm sitting here right now having a glass of wine and thinning out the boy's toys while he naps. I'm so sick of picking up a wreck EVERYDAY and this video has helped me find direction and QUICKLY!! THANK YOU!! I'm already feeling focused and like there is light on the horizon! 🙏 Peace and blessings!

Love this ! I grew up with a minimal amount of toys and I love seeing friends and people doing it now with there kids.

[jeanienelson]

Thank you for the promotion of selling your toys. Virtually everyone on minimalist groups is telling me NOT to bother selling stuff. But honestly selling it to other collectors or families really helps me deal with the guilt and sadness. It replaces it with seeing the joy of the person buying it, as well as a bit of cash. I also have found that by selling it you clean it up and help insure that it goes to a home where it will continue to have life rather than ending up in the trash or damaged.

I’m watching/listening to this as I declutter my sons toys and it’s making me so excited because I know that as soon as I’m done I’ll feel way less overwhelmed and so much better. Thank you!

[HolisticHomemaker]

I’ve decluttered so many times and it keeps finding its way back in. I’m finally in that “refining more” stage going from less than most to minimal. Thank you for the motivation ❤️

[RuthT]

Oh my gosh, I'm a single mum with 2 young kids in a small house and my life is absolutely like your 'before'. I'm so overwhelmed with all the stuff filling my house and the constant mess. Love your very real delivery style, I will be watching more of your videos! X

[EricaLucasLoves]

You always have layered comedy in your videos. The things you say, the text overlays, your faces. Thanks for all the laughs!!

[smurph]

This is great. I find the biggest problem is me, not my boy. I'm so attached to anything he has used 💔 I'm really trying to move past this but it's mega hard for me.

[orobriela]

My 4 year old was watching this with me and while watching we filled 2 black bags with toys we don’t need or use anymore 😳 😅 thanks for the inspo
Your place looks so peaceful with only what your kids play with

[hannahgrinder]

This is one of the best decluttering/minimilist videos I've watched yet! Just best videos in general. Thank you! New subscriber :)

[brittany.demers]

You are you to change my life, I know it! I have been trying to do this for so long but something about your story is resonating with me and I'm definitely going to move forward starting now!

We decluttered all the way down to like 15 hot wheels, 5 baby dolls, and video games in the house. Outside we have bikes, trampoline, and a pool. My kids play with our chickens more than anything else! We spend most of our free time fishing, hunting, gardening and other fun yet productive activities.

[Canny-Octopus]

I'm not a minimalist, and don't want to be - but I want more space and for the things we have to be our favorites. I used this video as inspiration to pare down kid stuff. Thank you, it is so much more peaceful.

[simplynej]

If I had kids, this video would be my jam...my inspiration. Less to clean and learning to pick up after visual going to a landfill or donation.

[danabrown]

This is one of the very best toy decluttering videos I've seen (along with the Minimal Mom who did something g very similar to you!) My heart breaks for the moms I watch declutter toys and although they do get rid of some, the amount they keep insures everything will be back in a huge mess in a few days...😐

[AtoZenLife]

Do you struggle with toy clutter? Let me know what you find hard to get rid of in the comments below. Don’t forget to SHARE with someone else you know who could use some decluttering inspo in their life! 🙌

Getting ready for another round of decluttering in my room! 😳 It's overwhelming, particularly in the book department (I really like books...), but for now I'm using the "box it" strategy for what I'm not quite ready to get rid of. And I can't wait to have a room I can actually use to it's full potential!
My goal is to get my own things pared down, and then prevent it from getting out of hand with my own children one day. I love seeing your boys play together so creatively! 😊
