Hello Lynn! Thank you so much for your motivation! I detect two things here that I know from my past self: You keep stuff for other people (what if someone needs this?). Yes, they will! But filling your space with other people's things is not really an option. And two: you lived in a really big house before. We have the tendency to fill that space. Now you don't live there anymore, but you didn't get rid of enough to match the new place yet. And on top: You moved. You don't have the same energy every day. You have a very small (and very cute) child. That keeps you busier than other people. I am confident that you will end up doing bigger sessions of decluttering with the change of seasons, but those six days are things you had to put off for future you. And future you being in the Now is questioning her life choices. It's just stuff. It doesn't define you and it is not worth beating yourself up over. I as a viewer enjoyed it but I understand why you didn't 😉 greetings from Luxembourg
Thank you for sharing all this with us. I loved the blessing with the vacuum story. I prayed for your sweet friend. I’ve switched over to decorating with natural elements. Such a game changer! I learned this from ScandishHome on TH-cam- she does it beautifully! Fall- real baby pumpkins, pinecones, squash, fall leaves Winter- pieces of pine fallen onto sidewalks, pinecones, just some red ribbons added around Spring- wildflowers from ditches, anything green, sprigs of forsythia, daffodils (tulips if you have them) Summer- I plant zinnia seeds early summer & can cut them all summer long. Also roses, crape myrtle, anything booming! I use herbs sometimes for green -lavender or rosemary are feathery, Russian sage from the yard, etc. I don’t store any florals at all. A few times a year I might buy real flowers from the farmer’s market or Trader Joe’s or Walmart. Once you start looking around outside, you’ll see so many things to decorate and they look very elegant. Check out ScandishHome’s decorating for Christmas video recently. She always gets me inspired!
Hey flossy😊 You’re doing a great job love, the decluttering is a journey as we age, I’ve noticed as I have gotten older, the less I want to have in my home. Sending love & prayers as always.🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜
Hi Lynn, I was like you keeping stuff for others for “maybe” in the future as well as myself. I finally realized I don’t need to. I got rid of all of my silk flowers that I was keeping because I realized I like to buy new ones when I wanted a change. Now, I immediately put the old ones in a bag and take to donation center. I have not missed anything I was storing. I went through every room and only kept what I actually use. Now, if I find I need something, I buy it as needed. It is so freeing and now easier to clean as well as stay on top of small declutters. Even my clothes, I found I gravitated to the same jeans, shirts and tops. I finally got rid of a lot of extras. I do the laundry once a week and I have those items to wear the next week. You are doing a great job with so many people in your house!! The “people” Will just have to be more responsible for their items. They can help out quite a bit that way. I love your videos and the real life you present! We all help each other and encourage and support on our journey through life! You got this, girl!!!!❤
I need to de-clutter closets but I'm not in the mood with the holidays coming up. I have de-cluttered my kitchen and laundry room. You Lynn are such an inspiration to us all!!!!
This is the type of video I love - serious decluttering & cleaning with a couple working together! You got rid of a lot and it was great that you could give away some things to a good home. ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Lynn, I love seeing your videos all the time! I can't get over the before & after pictures because they're amazing! I can't wait to see more videos every week! I can't get over the amount of stuff that you decluttered in the 3 days from the video. The different organizations that you did were amazing! ❤❤❤
hi Lynn. First time watching your channel. You're very motivating, Great Job. I am subscribing today! Hey, I might have a word of wisdom for you from my own 4-year decluttering journey. My decluttering got to the place now where it's about 85% complete because of 3 major things. First, I stopped watching so many decorating videos. I follow the channels that focus on decluttering & organizing instead. Second, I stopped spoiling myself constantly by allowing myself to just buy whatever I saw & wanted. I didn't need it. Third, I only buy quality & only what I truly love & enjoy. The rest is just clutter in my mind. Those 3 things actually got me to where I am today with my home inventory. God Bless!
Hello LYNN: Think since I saw your video I need to start decluttering our stuff. We are getting old and know that if we keep the clutter we have we can not take it into our retirement. Thank you so much for your videos
I am always looking for decluttering videos!!!! And for me, the guided declutters are the best. Where it's in the moment, talking through the decisions rather than a sped up declutter and just general talking over it. It takes longer that way, but I like seeing the true struggles of getting rid of things and the inner monologue that's happening.
Love your videos. Just love hanging out with you. Cleaning, decluttering, decorating, organizing.... You pick what is right for you, I'll watch. Don't be so hard on yourself, you are so loving and a beautiful soul. Love from the Netherlands. ❤
Love your videos. I love having a clutter free space. What has helped me in the last few years is the saying “don’t pile you file”. I say this when I am tempted to put things in a spot “ for now” instead of filing or putting it where it needs to go. Instead of putting recycling in a pile. File it into container. It doesn’t take that much more time but saves so much more time in the future . Once there is a pile of it is tooooooo easy to add to the pile instead of just putting things in their home.
Hey Lynn! Luv this video!!! Decluttering is super satisfying, especially when there are alot of things to go thru:) ty maybe I’ll tackle one of my kitchen cupboards! 🧽🧹🧼🧺🏠
I have been decluttering my entire home. I still have my basement to really declutter and organize it’s a disaster 😞😞. I love decluttering and organizing videos 😊. Great video!! Have a great weekend 😊
Hey! Lynn great job. Ur flowers will discolor bc they r in clear bins, which is awesome, but the sun gets to them when the garage door is open. I used a kids plain top sheet & attached it to the shelf unit so it looks like a curtain & it looks neat for me & hides it. I like my stuff in clear totes but hidden. I love a great clean garage. Great job. BTW I don't use my head rests either
I think from my experience you have to make the choice of what to do with the things before they arrive in the space . Here your doing the garage type place which would be my shed or loft . These are areas I hate doing so now I been ruthless about clearing out these spaces I’m super cautious when I’m putting things out/up into them I just straight donate or pop on the kerb or take to the dump . This has changed things for me a lot.
Hello! What brand is your little leaf blower? I just told my husband that I want one for this very purpose and for the porch and back deck. And, do you like it? Love the video btw!
Lynn your declutter videos are so motivating!! I have a lot of accumulated craft and decor items. I would feel better if I let go of a lot of it. I have a huge walk in closet for my clothes and everything else. I just got our Christmas items out of our storage room. I want to clean out so much stuff I have accumulated. I share the storage room with my sister. She is very reluctant to let go of things. So somehow I have to find a way for her to let go of things.
Great vid Lynn!!❤ I have to ask that stunning beige pumpkin w dark orange/red florals in it…did u make that or buy it somewhere? I could prob make it but buying would be a lot easier;)!!❤
I live in Florida too. I'm waiting for it to cool down so i can tackle the garage. It's just too hot My biggest issue is figuring out where to put all of the things i decided to keep. So i guess you could say i need more skill with organizing.
This year I’m decluttering my Christmas decor and I’m actually very nervous about it. So much is sentimental and gifts over the years so I know it’s going to be emotional. But I just don’t use it and definitely don’t want to move it when I eventually downsize. Wish me luck 😳
Hi Lynne I donated 5 bags last week including a bag of Fall decor and I have more bags to donate this week. I can’t handle clutter I get so stressed out.
I am trying to get anything we are not using…gone!! Waiting on my husband to help with the 🤯 very full garage!! He does not like to declutter anything!
I am in the middle of a declutter while my husband is dear hunting. He keeps everything he might need it one day can’t find it but he knows it’s there lol.
Oh man, I feel your pain! LOL Somedays I want all of it to just disappear! But then I tell myself how important it is for him and I try to help him organize it.
I think a lot of people struggle with the what ifs behind keeping items. I think if you don't use or enjoy the items often enough, they shouldn't stay.
Lynn….you are such a hard worker, however, you still just have too much stuff. I know you like to decorate but it just takes too much time and effort to manage all what you have. Good luck in trying to successfully declutter. My philosophy is if it doesn’t have a pulse….it doesn’t mean that much to me. We all like to have a nice home however empty space is underrated
I have virtually zero engagement on my decor page on IG, but you know what I keep posting because I LOVE IT and honestly, we only have one life, so if you have a dream, DO IT NOW! 🥰❤️
I just de clutter my apartment I got rid of half stuff in my apartment from deep freezer furniture sheets towels nick nacks stuff I don’t need good luck
Hi Lynn! Poor baby you are really having a time. I'm only 3:50minutes in and I can see what one issue is already sweetheart... You pick up something you look through it and then you put it right back down you don't get rid of it right then Whatever you put your hands on get rid of it dispose of it right then don't put it down and go to something else because you're never getting anything accomplished like that sweetheart. Maybe you need someone who specializes in organizing and they can come and help you put things into categories and all of those types of things. What do you think?
I would never follow someone who spends tons of money on decorating bc: #1 that's not me #2 who can afford that anymore #3 it's not financially responsible. I'd much rather see someone use what they've already got.
I’m trying to declutter since I moved back last year after rehab however my husband basically won’t agree to anything I ask. 🥹I’ve been clean 3 yrs now too. Worked so hard at it.

You got this! It's never too late to start organizing.
@mrslynnwhite thank you. Have a great Thanksgiving

Great motivational decluttering video. I like what you said about self awareness. We just consume too much and it's not necessary. Thank you!!

I try to declutter a little 5 days a week. some days it is only 1 item or a bag full. I love organizing and decluttering as well.
I am right there with you! It all adds up in the end.
Soooo true! I find myself buying because of certain influencer’s 🙁 I love how you mentioned how the Lord spoke to you to give away!!!🙂❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
It was loud and clear ❤️❤️
Hey Lynn! Luv this video!!! Decluttering is super satisfying, especially when there are alot of things to go thru:) ty maybe I’ll tackle one of my kitchen cupboards! 🧽🧹🧼🧺🏠
Great video Miss Lynn!!! I’m always trying to declutter!! It’s a bit hard but I keep trying!! ❤❤
You are doing an amazing job!
Thank you for motivating me! ❤
Love your videos and honesty. Great job
Im halfway through my decluttering and you are a phenomenal person ever Lynn ❤️ 💖 💗 💕 💙 💛 thank heaps from Ronnie from Geelong Vic Australia 🇦🇺 ♥️
Nice garage tidy and declutter. ❤
I have been decluttering my entire home. I still have my basement to really declutter and organize it’s a disaster 😞😞. I love decluttering and organizing videos 😊. Great video!! Have a great weekend 😊
I love these videos. Your videos are so inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chris is SMART to wear a hat in the Fla. sun!!
When I declutter it mainly goes to opportunity shops as I live in Australia 🇦🇺
Its the same thing as a thrift shop etc 😊
Hey! Lynn great job. Ur flowers will discolor bc they r in clear bins, which is awesome, but the sun gets to them when the garage door is open. I used a kids plain top sheet & attached it to the shelf unit so it looks like a curtain & it looks neat for me & hides it. I like my stuff in clear totes but hidden. I love a great clean garage.

Great job Lynn!!!!
Thanks for great motivation.
Smart storage for the pillowcases.
Tack care❤
You are so welcome!

I’m ready to get rid of stuff too❤️😀👍thanks for the motivation 😀
Yep 100 💯 Lynn this is certainly something that I need to do once I’m on holidays for Christmas for 6weeks 🎉
Love hanging out with you. Love your videos God bless you and your family ✝️
The secret to decluttering, decluttering for real, when you can see the difference, not just hiding things, is being ruthless.
Great motivation, thanks for sharing
Hello! What brand is your little leaf blower? I just told my husband that I want one for this very purpose and for the porch and back deck. And, do you like it? Love the video btw!
Always love your videos and motivation. I was just saying the same thing. Where does all the stuff come from 😄 🤣
Hi Lynn 💓! Jw, does your son at home that works full time have a plan to move out?
Thanks Lynn, like the way you sniff test things to see if they need washing. 😆I have done that yoo.
Good video
Lynn me gustan tus vídeos de organizar el garage aunque yo me desechava más cosas que seguro no usas❤❤
Lynn your declutter videos are so motivating!! I have a lot of accumulated craft and decor items. I would feel better if I let go of a lot of it. I have a huge walk in closet for my clothes and everything else. I just got our Christmas items out of our storage room. I want to clean out so much stuff I have accumulated. I share the storage room with my sister. She is very reluctant to let go of things. So somehow I have to find a way for her to let go of things.
Tell her if she donates to charity it helps with fundraising. I always donate to Pdsa and Cats Protection, I love animals
It’s a tough one with a sister! I think I would start by just decluttering my own stuff first!
Great vid Lynn!!❤ I have to ask that stunning beige pumpkin w dark orange/red florals in it…did u make that or buy it somewhere? I could prob make it but buying would be a lot easier;)!!❤
I live in Florida too. I'm waiting for it to cool down so i can tackle the garage. It's just too hot

I want to see what you have decluttered!
Hello from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Hey, sweet friend ❤️
❤your videos.
Love you!
Hi Lynne I donated 5 bags last week including a bag of Fall decor and I have more bags to donate this week. I can’t handle clutter I get so stressed out.
Yay!!! You’re doing great.
I am trying to get anything we are not using…gone!! Waiting on my husband to help with the 🤯 very full garage!! He does not like to declutter anything!
Love the declutter and clean video! I noticed you touched your fingers a lot…are they ok?
When I was trying to get the flowers out of the glass vase, I accidentally broke it and it shattered in my hands. They were pretty cut up.
How you stay fit?
I am in the middle of a declutter while my husband is dear hunting. He keeps everything he might need it one day can’t find it but he knows it’s there lol.
Oh man, I feel your pain! LOL Somedays I want all of it to just disappear! But then I tell myself how important it is for him and I try to help him organize it.
One more pumpkin in that garage and my head will explode!
I think a lot of people struggle with the what ifs behind keeping items. I think if you don't use or enjoy the items often enough, they shouldn't stay.
I know! It can be so hard to let go.
They are called cushion covers
Lynn….you are such a hard worker, however, you still just have too much stuff. I know you like to decorate but it just takes too much time and effort to manage all what you have.

I have virtually zero engagement on my decor page on IG, but you know what I keep posting because I LOVE IT and honestly, we only have one life, so if you have a dream, DO IT NOW! 🥰❤️
It gets so hard for me after a while. I dont know what I want to do over there anymore.
dont get rid of that blue pumpkin. it is beautiful
I’m going to give it to my SIL ❤️

Quando eu assisto este tipo de TH-cam, eu fico chocada com o consumismo americano e com a falta de consciência ecológica ou qualquer consciência.
Is this an old video
No I just posted it,
🌸👍🏻🌸
Oh one more I just don’t do seasonal decor anymore.
It adds up FAST!
Why is there trash why didn't it get hauled to the curb to begin with. Ohhhh.
I would never follow someone who spends tons of money on decorating bc:
#1 that's not me
#2 who can afford that anymore
#3 it's not financially responsible.
I'd much rather see someone use what they've already got.
Where was the decluttering. You need more work on what you actually need. No disrespect to you.
I’m trying to declutter since I moved back last year after rehab however my husband basically won’t agree to anything I ask. 🥹I’ve been clean 3 yrs now too. Worked so hard at it.
I am so sorry, but I understand your pain. ❤️ I want to say AMAZING JOB on your recovery. You are so worth a wonderful life.
@@mrslynnwhite thank you so much , it really means a lot. I appreciate you so much. 💜💜
