Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share this new whole house declutter with you! I challenged myself to declutter some stuff before we move! It's always a good idea to declutter to move so you don't move with clutter. I don't know what I'm typing. It's late. I hope you enjoyed decluttering with me and I gave you some good decluttering motivation! Thanks for hanging out!
Best,
Kim!

I think you should start a cleaning channel called “Good Enough”. Still praying for you. Grief makes life look black and white. It takes a while to see color again. Blessings, friend. ❤️
That's a solid plan. thanks so much. This type of grief is unlike anything I've ever had to navigate.
This!!! And I clean and declutter the same way while asking myself why I even kept something in the first place 🤣
@@thewadsquad praying for extra strength for you daily honey. You are such a bright light in this world of dark. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Thank you for being so awesome, even when your heart tells you different. Bless you and your beautiful family! I am certain that your sister is watching over you and laughing with us all. It's a love that can never be broken. Continued love and prayers!! 🙏❤😘
Amazing description of grief. Thank you 💕
Yes! I’d absolutely watch her cleaning channel, and her cooking channel, she should make one of those too.
The best decluttering advice I ever heard was "don't feel guilty about decluttering gifts because they have already served their purpose. They were given and the emotions from both parties was felt. If you don't use it or love it that's not a jab to the person who gave it to you. And if they ask about it then give them a wishlist of gifts for the future. Be connected to the person, not what they give you." But if you love the memories something sparks then for sure keep it if you want it. I am horrible at decluttering sentimental items. Even digital pictures! I feel like I'm throwing away memories
Minimal Mom said something similar and it was eye opening for me. Such amazing advice!
I needed to see this because I purged 10 bags of kids clothes and my clothes and toys and was having a weird anxiety attack after! I’m like stop it 😂
I keep digital photos of cloth diapers that I sold.i missed them sometimes🤣they were beautiful

That soot on your nose tho! I love you. 🙌🏻 Also, the fact that you have a normal home like the rest of us is the reason why you should have a cleaning channel. So much more inspiring and relatable than somebody dusting their perfectly not dusty white marble counter top.
I tried rubbing my screen at first and then i realized it was soot from the candle 🤣🤣
Hahaa Alex came home and said you have mascara on your nose! I said… for how long!!!!!!!
@@thewadsquad Sometimes "The woman across the room" is right there inside your mirror, love
@@amandahupman1645 😂 not in this case
Favorite quote: “ I’m putting it in the box, oh I’m taking it back out of the box “.
😬😬😬
That’s how I de clutter and re clutter all in the same day. Good way to distract myself from eating junk food though as I do not have any useful skills lol
Absolutely the best part of my day is Hanging out with you Kim ❤️
I'm so happy to hear that, thank you so much for the love
Agreed!
Where’s your Nicolas Cage pillow gonna go in your new house, cause I just know you are taking it with you.🤣
*whispers * " I'm taking it out of the box" 🤣 Kim I feel you and you crack me up every time 🙂
I love how you are able to make your decluttering decisions so easily.
Thank you thrive market for sponsoring this unicorn of a human!
"I'm gonna put my blinders on and not look at that stuff, let's look this way"
- The exact moment I realized you are my spirit person.
This!! My favorite part was Kim finding a full cup of water, chugging it and tossing the empty cup into the donate box 🤣 girl, are we the same person?😆
She must be so many THE SPIRIT PERSON FOR THOUSANDS!!!!!
haha I'm so glad you guys accept me the way I am!
Definitely real life Kim❤Ruthlessly Ruth😂😂😂😂😂😂hilarious Ruth Baby 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉practicality in decluttering😊
Everytime i am cleaning and decluttering my home i binge watch your decluttering videos to keep me going
You are the highlight of my day, Kimmy Whisk! Praying for you everyday and so thankful for your bubbly personality. I know you are hurting badly and yet, you still manage to make time to share your life with us. You are truly a magical spirit! ❤🥰
Kim, your face and voice never fail to brighten my day. You’re a true ray of light ☀️
Kim, your dating and wedding scrapbooks are priceless memories!!! 💖 I love how you talk to us all the way through the declutter. This was so fun to watch! 😀
Thank you Kim for helping me jumpstart my motivator! I’ve went hard for a year decluttering and deep cleaning my home but have gotten into a rut. You have inspired me to hit it again. Thank you sweet lady and I pray in the days, weeks, months ahead you will find peace and that there will be less tears and more laughter….BUT until that time you cry and grieve how you need to. ❤️
I want you to know that I lost my mom in 2019 and last my dad in Sept. I know you are grieving, but I thought you would like to know that your channel has been my greatest distraction from my grief. You're light, airy fun, down to earth personality has helped me tremendously during my own journey of grief. ♡ thank you
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with a random bag AND mug of change!!! Thank you for making me feel normal :)
Keep the scrapbooks! My siblings and I go through them every. Single. Time. That we visit home. We love showing them to our friends and family that visit, and they were so fun to show to my boyfriend and my brother’s girlfriend. So special. We used to look through them all of the time when we were little. Hundreds of times by now.
P. S. We’ve got a few of them with only five or ten pictures, too. :)
That declutter was definitely a challenge! Love that you keep your sense of humor as you pick and choose what to keep and what to toss!
Hi I watch you from the United Kingdom England i have been watching your videos for a long time ,it is nice to have a big declutter to see how much you can get rid of and how much you can give to charity and breath a sigh of relief when it is done as it can turn out to be a big job have fun and take care xx
There's literally no one else like you Kim!
I love watching you keep it real. I am sometimes plagued with guilt about all the things I don't accomplish but you are so encouraging about everything being "good enough" and I realize I'm not the only one. Thanks for the happy!
You are superwoman, a powerhouse. Dealing with everything that comes with moving house and also dealing with a massive loss and grief. I want to send you a big hug and send lots of love. Losing a sibling, still managing a family and your business; you are amazing. I hope you are okay and feel the space to do whatever you need to cope❤️
Your decluttering video inspired me! Love the way you make sense of how, why in orgainized manner how to declutter! Thank You ❤️
I know you’re going to say you don’t have your life together enough for this but hear me out lol start a tote box for each of your kids and every time you declutter and come across sentimental stuff you don’t use presently, ie your wedding photos or similar, put it in one of your kids totes. My mom has done that with my siblings and I all our lives and recently gave us our totes. It’s fun to come together and look through them.
That’s a really cool idea.
Oh my word that's so sweet! Thank you for that idea!
This is a wonderful idea. I never thought my old albums were of any interest to anyone until my granddaughters got to be in high school. They had the best time looking at my year book and that led them to my albums. I was so glad I kept them.
It’s such a neat thing for us to have. Our report cards, works of “art” lol, baby books, family photos, etc. we have such a blast reminiscing.
Love that little chair/table thingy. I actually remember when people used them for their telephones! I'm old. Ah, you've uncovered it. It's gorgeous. When your kids are 30 they will want to see the wedding photos.
You are so strong and always motivate me to do the best I can. I’m praying for you
Im so proud of you kim! You went way above 100
Items. The more and more you declutter it gets easier trust me
I can totally relate to your decluttering as we just moved out of the house that we lived in for 34 years. It took about 3 months to declutter all the things that we didn't want to move. We took a ton to goodwill, trashed a huge amount, and took our entire dining room to a consignment store. It was exhausting.!!
I bought large hanging file folder boxes with lids and stored all art that we wanted to keep ,awards ,school photos etc. Each folder for a year, when they married I passed it on to them. Stored them in my office closet for handy access.
I absolutely love your sense of humor!!! Don’t ever change. You are incredible! And you say redonkulous like me.
I almost passed out when you tossed the photos, legos and the kitchen pan. Right on the floor, screaming all the way down to the floor. LOL YOU are my favorite You tuber.
You’re amazing, Kim! I have to say that the most surprising items were the cutting boards because you’re ALWAYS looking for cutting boards! :-D Good job on the decluttering; that is SUCH a hard job.
Can’t wait to see this! 🙏🏻 keeping you and you and your family in daily prayer.
I appreciate that so much.
At least someone is thinking of her family
Food magazines (and books) is why I’ve started going the route of screenshots of recipes, since I usually only like one, maybe two recipes out of a whole pile of them. I upload them to my desktop, and have started making sure there’s a name attached to the file so that it’s easier to look for what I’m looking for. I also love Pinterest and have many boards, broken down by category.
I’ve moved a couple of times, and have found that one never truly knows how much stuff (“junk”) one has until moving.
Just finished doing my honors project presentation. This feels like a reward. Thank you for bringing joy into all of our lives💜
When you threw your wedding book in the box my mouth fell open. So glad to see you 💕
With kids' artwork....We have a pretty large family. Every month we, with child, would pick 1-2 pieces, and store in a Rubbermaid bin. End of the year (we do every June end of school year), we go through the year's save work and pick the most special pieces in there from that year to save. Just saving 3-7 pieces a year in a bin is easy to store. When they get older and get their first apartment, like with our 2 oldest, I take a couple that mean a lot to me and they take their bins with them to bring a piece of their childhood. It's a treasure for them. My daughter can't wait to show her own future kids, have them hold hers and do the same projects with them. Don't just do the 'take a picture' thing for all. The memory and what makes it special is the holding the item, feeling the item and even the smell of the paper. It brings them (and us) right back to feeling that moment and is priceless. I have friends who just took pictures of all the work. They all regretted it. Their kids grew up, looked through pictures once and had no use for it. It's not the same to just see a snapshot, & doesn't give the feeling of the memory. Just set up something for each. I let them decorate their bins, which is also fun when they're grown. Going through picking the few to save each time is fun and gets them talking about those memories of the month then year all throughout too, which becomes a nice tradition/memory in itself. ❤️
Love the RUTH approach....it’s ON ...DECLUTTER FOREVER !! Well, after coffee !!
Blessings Kim, your such a beautiful spirit, my me time consists of me drinking tea and watching you, we send you our love and hugs through your difficult time xxxxx
You could keep the wedding album to pass down to one of your kids one day. An easy way for them to have an album of you all! And also, I am all about ruthless decluttering! My husband hates it LOL!
It's so good to see your sweet face and hear your hilarious personality. Continuing to lift you up in prayer. Praying especially for God's comfort and for the words you hear through condolences to be encouraging and uplifting. I know in grief it can be so difficult to keep moving forward at times, but you're killing it, even when you may not feel like you are. Being a good mom and wife and taking care of you and remembering God is for you is the most important thing you can do and you're being the best at it still! So so proud of you and sending you so much love, Kim!
You always put a smile on my face…and I like how you keep it real. “Typical TH-camr with dyson”--then it doesn’t work. 😂 among other funny comments. I wish there was something we could do for you to take away your pain. Because you shine so brightly for us. I haven’t lost a sibling…💔 but…
I did loose a close cousin a few years back. Every year her mom and sister celebrate her life on her birthday and we (the rest of the family) join them. They say that it never stops hurting, but it really helps having family around. So my prayer for you is that you and your family stay close and lean on one another, to remember the unique amazing soul that is your sister.
Kim I really think you're my favorite human on the internet. Thanks for making my morning! ♥
OMG. I have that same cake platter from my mom. I flip it over and put dip in the base and use the flat side for veggies/fruit/bread etc
I also have a gossip bench that I "inherited" when my great aunt passed. One of my favorite pieces in the house. Many years ago, we actually used it for the purpose it was intended. Phone and phone book were stored on it. Now it houses my daughters wedding albums where the phone book used to go. LOVE IT
I also had a ton of Food Network mags. All the recipes I had flagged, I found on line...pinned them...then tossed the mags
Probably said already, but I just snap a pic of my kids art work and load it onto a usb stick. Then when I have a few to rotate through I put it on a digital frame in the living room. Guests love it and it becomes a conversation piece for everyone (kids included). Plus the art is appreciated instead of collecting dust and mental space in your life.
You are such a joy. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face. 😊. I needed this today. Wishing you a wonderful day Kim.
Dang, even tho it's a no bones day, Kim has me motivated to sell everything I own and eat healthy!
It’s because she filmed this on a bones day and we’re feeling like we have the bones to do it too now.
I am in aw of your tenacity and strength while grieving. The pain is debilitating...
In the thick of this, you
still put a lot of happy in our day's. Prayer's🎍💝
love a good declutter. how you are managing with everything going on in your life- prayers and good vibes coming to you💜
Just putting one foot in front of the other at this point.
@@thewadsquad that’s really all you can do. It’s takes courage🙏
Anyone else here stupidly over excited about The Wads family (especially Kim) getting the much needed wonderful house? Kim, your decluttering put me in the mood to do that in my open the door toss stuff in room. Thank you for that.
♥️A fun thing my parents did for me and my brother was create a “life book”. It has art work, pictures, Milestones from school to learning how to ride a bike , report cards, and other personal things in it… that way we have these things to look back on. I was a foster child and then adopted so I think it’s something one of our case workers recommended idk lol but I cherish it! I have things from when I was 5 through my high school years all in one big big binder/book.
Something to maybe think about doing when going through their art work and school stuff. Of course keeping everything would fill the whole house up 😂
Xoxo ♥️ Praying for you and your family! All the love!
Just wanted to let you know I love your channel and you are amazing mother and wife. My husband and just celebratd our 20 year wedding anniversary 💜I'm not exactly sure what area you live in but can tell we aren't far away we moved from Tampa to Land O Lakes 6 years ago but still work in Tampa. However being a Floridian all my life and growing up in the same area , I regonize the shopping centers . The only place I have never shopped at and have wanted to is Ikea. I always say I want to go when I just have time to browse and not be rushed by my husband and son 😀❤️😀 Keep being you, you kindness and energy is my motivating and makes my heart smile. Still keeping you and your family in our prayers 💜
Good morning Kim. Good morning party people.
Blessings and continued prayers for you and your beautiful family ❤️ So many changes. Moving can be exciting and also stressful! Thanks for being so real. The world needs more people like you!
I just love you Kim. You make my day so much better.
"If you don't want to do something, it is most rewarding to do that thing." -Kimberly Whisk 2021. Truer words were never spoken, Kim. I love you good. My heart is still with your family as you adjust. Hugs. ❤
Love seeing Ruth! A someone who is unpacking from a move, you will be grateful for your efforts now. 💜
I realized today after watching this video why I enjoy you so much. For starters, you make me laugh. My declutter skills are pretty much poo poo. I have an old washstand and found things in the drawer that my kid put in there when she was little…….she’s 32yrs old! Thank you for making my day!
YAAAASSSSSSS! Declutter all the things to keep spurring me along to do the same. The first vid I ev viewed of yours was the big kitchen declutter......and I've been hooked ev since. 👏😙
I have that same Disney album and I've seen my kids who are in their 20's laugh and go thru them...I just down loaded a bunch of vacation pix from the past to make albums...ps we still love seeing my parents albums who are in their 80's
The first video of yours that I watched you decluttered that entertainment center/tv stand. And I remember that thinking…. What am I watching? But I was hooked 😂
Hahaha you’re great! Thanks so much for sticking around!!
Kim you are the best! Thanks for being real! I’m feeling inspired to go through my messes too. 😘
Declutter before moving is one of the best feelings !!! Btw, I just saw you are holding a donut baking tray in the intro, and let me tell you a story that I got up extra early last week to get 2 donut baking trays like that from Aldi. They only sell $2.99 in Aldi whereas in some fancy baking shops is $24 for the same tray. And because of COVID, Aldi couldn’t get enough stock,and those donut trays are very popular. So long story short, I got up extra early and got 2. And I still haven’t used them yet haha . Typical me
Hi Catlady, ld love to know what Country you live in because Aldi and this situation has absolutely nothing to do with "due to covid" you see they advertise a special which they are only required to have one of to push a marketing campaign, you get to the store, the items supposedly "sold out" and you buy a whole bunch of other crap you never went for!!! It's a very very clever marketing tactic but also very devious, they have been doing it for years and at times have been fined considerably (Australia) by our ACCC for "false and misleading" specials. I remember they advertised heavily for a $50 flat screen large TV hundreds of people lined up hours before the store opened and they had only one in each store as a "leader" special, that $50 TV cost them a million dollars for that stunt, short story long l avoid the place like the plague!! Glad you got in early and got your donut pans though win win for you👍
@@brilliantbutblue hi , I live in Australia too :) I have seen or heard so many people run into the same issues. Which makes feel more and more anxious when I see things I like in Aldi and I often wonder if I could get one on the day or not. Luckily I haven’t had any desires on any special buy this year except these donut pans. I have 4 Aldis within 15 mins drive around my house.
haha the best part s that you haven't used them yet
Omg the "MOOOOVE" is my FAVE part, along with the sooty nose 🤣❤
Good morning everyone
The change.....Oh I feel you sister! My husband always comes home and empties his pockets and has change! Where the heck are you using cash?!
Kids artwork = Get some shallow storage bins and make those your "artwork bins" for each child. When you get artwork that you think you may want to keep, you put it in there. Then when it's full and you want to add something new, you take out something that no longer makes the cut. When they are older, they can do the sorting and deciding. And for pieces that are super special, you can do those same storage bins and make "memory bins" for each family member. I'm working my way through that too, but it gives those things a home and a container limit.
I absolutely love watching your channel, and I love to watch you declutter!
Those Thrive boxes are super sturdy! We saved and used ours to pack and move!
I keep asking myself why I would watch “my friend Kim” (yes, that’s what I call you when I talk to my husband) declutter, and it’s because it is so darned entertaining. I thought I was going to fall down laughing when you pulled out the baggie of loose change. Thanks for the laughs, Kim!
I know how you feel about things that you really don't need, cut memories will have a place in your new more space home. Adore you and love watching you process things, wild, you are so fun.
Thank you for this one. It was very motivating and freeing to see you toss things that I would have voted to keep. I really appreciate the kick in the pants
For someone in IT related work who just lost digital back ups of backups. Sometimes keeping those photo books are worth it. When society crashes I'll use my photobooks to pass time. Just don't create more and you'll be fine.
I have a ton of printed photos and scrapbooks ♥️♥️ I hear you I’ve lost a ton of digital photos too ♥️♥️
I love Shutterfly too! Kim, I love that you are so down to earth. I live a completely different life, yet so similar to yours……. You’re such a great inspiration, thank you for getting me through life right now.
So beautiful and cheerful in your yellow sweater!
YOU GOT THIS KIM!
YOU AND ALEX ROCK!
Hahahaha so glad to see that turtleneck getting some wear! And in Florida!
I've been up all night and having a tough morning~
Then I watch your videos ~ your sweet disposition and humor is not only charming but healing..thank you for the smiles.
I just hope and pray blessings for you and the entire family.
Decluttering is fun and helps out when you move to somewhere new. I know about it because I moved to somewhere new back at the beginning of the year.☺️♥️
Omg. I am cracking up at all the honey and neroli candles everyone sent you. 😂😂
Oh Kim I love you so much, I am so happy and excited for you on your big move. You are a bundle of joy and you bring me so much happiness, I just love that great things are happening for you and your family and I can not wait to join you on your next adventure xx
I love your decluttering videos, they are so stinking real! Also, I’m so excited for you to move to the new house and all of the possible scare moments that can be recorded 😂🤣 I laugh so much watching the jump scares, but I’m the exact same way and jump at everything! ♥️♥️
OMG. Hysterical I also don't know where my vacuum attachments are,,and I also wouldn't go get it,,the rag works just as well! You are the best, yes cards the same here!
That seemed pretty quick ..you did great. I need to do the same especially with my clothes. Would love to see another clothes declutter to spark my motivation. So many to try on ugh.
You are absolutely my favorite person to watch on TH-cam!! Thank you for sharing your life and being so authentically you!! So refreshing
Love your videos. Excited to see more moving prep videos as the big day draws near.
As far as using the Dawn to wash the car, it's not ideal as it tends to ruin the paint over time. Using a car wash soap is the best. Just some friendly advice to preserve the car's paint. 😊
I love the Dr. Teals Foaming baths! I didn't become a "bath person" either until a recent move. My new bathtub is much more appealing for some reason. 10-20 minute bath every 2-3 weeks. The Epsom salt does the body some wonder.
Cleaning as I go is how I stay motivated. Ruth you count how you want & do you what you do! Xx
i love that you guys are moving !!!!!! II can't wait to see it all XO Simone
Hello Kim
Nice to see you again
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time
Your sister will always be proud of you speak her name she is only a whisper away
Lost loved ones hold their fond memories close xx
I am so happy for you that you have found your dream house and you are ready to move out! Can't wait for your packing videos, decor videos, transform videos etc!!! 😍
My hubby made "scrapbooks" of each kids art. A new one each school year. So we have ten total, maybe. I have two kids, and they stopped doing art like that by sixth grade. We now have an art wall, for my daughter. All of my son's art is digital. Then we put them in a memory box. They have them, and love them.
This has definitely motivated me! I have stuff that we moved from England to Palm Springs then back to England again and we’ve been here 11 years!!! 😱😱
Thank you Kim 💗💗
I’m also in the middle of a ruthless decluttering of my house, not moving though, unfortunately, lol love watching you do it too, so I can think in my head Kim would get rid of it!
You are simply AMAZING. Great job on the de- cluttering. Holding you in prayer.
Kim these are my favorite videos!! Made my whole afternoon. I’m so excited for you to move! ☀️
Im so glad after all these years on youtube you havent fell into the "rabbit hole of fancy, uppity youtube"....you've never changed and thats why i watch can relate to you so much😊...Goonies is one of my top 5 movies🤗
Loved this video! I like your energy and it seriously motivated me to get up and just grab random stuff that needed to go 🙌 Loved how you just jumped from one spot to another and skipped things you didn’t want to do. So my style!
You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your video this has inspired me to start decluttering. Take care and may God comfort you and your family.
Just the intro has "put a little happy" in my day!! I have grand plans everyday but you know life happens😘
Evert day I plan to do 100 things lol
RUTH! Thank you as always for the comic relief. You inspired me to declutter a bit this weekend and when I found myself questioning whether or not to keep random old kids toys (like their stuffed animal pacifiers...remember those?!?) I heard you saying "RUTH! Be ruthless!!" It really helped make the cleaning out more fun (especially when our 5 year old daughter kept imitating me, and kept asking who Ruth was...) Thanks for keepin it real!
You go Kim! You’ve got this!!
You always inspire me to declutter my CRAP! Ha
Thanks for spreading joy in every single one of your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Love you Kim!
