Don't you love it when the person that you're trying to help switches it back around on you? My daughter always loves to reminding me whenever we are going shopping "Mom, do you really need that?" Yet she has no problem getting things she doesn't need 😂, and I would tell her this all the time.
YES!!! Oh my gosh YES! 🤣My face when she said that to me LMBO it was a "no you didnt just flip this back on me" face ha! 🤣 I know exactly where you're coming from! I do however have to figure out a better solution for when I come across things that are sentimental to me, well I also have to stop instantly creating emotional attachment to objects like...a wall mail holder from 1972 😆🤣 Thanks so much for watching & being here with us friend ❤️
I went to a car boot sale with my mother when i was 40. All I did was pick up an ornament to see the makers stamp..when she said in front of the seller.. now are you sure you need that?! Never went with her again....so embarrassing!
Anything that reminds you of your childhood take a picture! I made all of my childhood memory pictures into a little book. I can flip through and remember, and I don’t have to have all of that stuff in my house. Love the Swedish Death Trap. 😂😂 50 Points for mom 😂😂😂
I am struggling with the few items I have left! They serve zero purpose in a bin in the closet but I feel like what if I forget them! I need to really think over it again
I had decided to rearrange/ declutter my kitchen again and I will be saying "oh, yeah" the whole time now. Wish me luck on this part of my Swedish death trap! 😂
Love the Pee O Knees! One day you may find that instead of all the knick knacks etc… that simple fresh seasonal greenery and flowers are more than enough seasonal decor for any home. Love you and Robin together again!
Hi Danni- My kids and I just did a bunch of decluttering. We’re donating 7 bags of clothes, 2 bags of bedding, 5 boxes of books, 2 bags of tote bags, some shoes and some hangers. 😊
Yes, I'm in the same place. Stuff stays in my Amazon cart for a long time and then, over time, gets shifted to Save For Later. I'm also on a book buying ban because I have enough books. I'm doing the Read-What-I-Own challenge (20 books) until I can buy new books, and I've removed many books from my shelves.
First video I've ever watched.. I'm Subscribing now... I love your mom... Her Midwest accent is so great! 'Swedish Death Trap'... OMG, almost pissed myself!
My sides hurt from laughing, she keeps calling it something different every time we mention Swedish Death Cleaning, but Swedish Death trap, topped it 🤣🤣🤣 We're always so HAPPY to see you here with us friend. Hugs ❤️
Hey beautiful just checking in with you. A little worried you haven't posted a video in a while and I wanted to make sure y'all were ok! Nope everything is going on and just wanted to know you are missed. Thinking of y'all and hope to see a video soon love 💕
First time visiting, and I have to say (5 min in) that I LOVE the bread bin on the left. I want one! Glanced at comments below and I am excited to continue watching. :) Here we go...
Yup. 9 min in... "Swedish Death Trap". Love it. Being Swedish myself, yes it is a trap, if you do no not declutter, come death or not (which it will, of course). Love your mom!
Oh my gosh you are so dang sweet! I cant tell you enough how much I appreciate that and you being here with me! So very grateful you're here! Thank you friend. Lots of luv 🥰🥰🥰
When you & your mom get together, I lmbo. The more you two laugh, the more that I'm rotfl. Besides you two being absolutely hilarious, you also really inspire me to declutter along with you. I can hardly wait til the next video. 🥰❤️
Kathleen this comment made my month! Thank you! And its everything if we can make ya laugh! Yeah momma Robyn shes a hoot...her and her Swedish Death Trap 😆🤣So grateful you're on this decluttering journey with me friend. Lots of luv 🥰
Love my instant pot. Use it at least once a week. Helps with quicker meals ,even meats from frozen. Also, it can be used as a slow cooker, so I decluttered my crockpot.
I cant imagine NOT having an instant pot. I use mine every single day...there are days we use it 2 or 3 times. I do hard boiled eggs at least once a week, rice once or twice a week, potatoes once or twice a week...stew/soup/chili 2-3 times a week. And my favorite thing to do in there is spaghetti. I fry my burger on saute and remove it...then add everything I need to make my sauce. (frozen tomatoes from last years garden, onions, garlic, tom paste, S&P etc) when sauce is finished I add water pasta and burger. Cook on high pressure for about 4 minutes and it is perfect every single time I have also done similar to spaghetti with broken lasagna noodles and added my cheese mix of ricotta cheese, egg, parm cheese and dolloped in layers to make a "lazy lasagna" This thing has made daily meals a breeze. We are gluten free so I use GF pasta, so you may need to adjust times
We started minimizing last August. Were brutal. Our community has a yard sale day in the spring so over the winter I collected everything I decluttered, cleaned & priced it, boxed it up & stored in the basement. We sold all our small appliances including the keurig, microwave, food processor etc.. We do pour over for coffee & just use stove or grill for cooking. It frees so much space in kitchen. You really don’t need all those appliances & kitchen gadgets to cook a great meal.
We had that many spatulas! Now we don't! They were one of the easiest things to declutter because we were gifted ones with wooden handles. We hate hand washing stuff so those would get used and sit in the sink to be washed for forever!
Wooden handles seem to be the big thing now. Ugh. I tried to find a spatula last week with a rigid plastic handle and I couldn't find any! I finally settled on a one piece silicon spatula, but it's not my first preference.
An idea on the Instant Pot, check and see if your library has a library of things. If it does, donate to them and if you ever want to use it you can borrow it from the library. I did that with Dad's crockpot.
Your mom and the soaps! Rewatch the old videos and realize the win! Her mindset is changing just slowly! I am on the same journey with my mom but she joined the bandwagon more easily. You got this. Keep going you are winning!
Let GO of the Instant Pot. If neither of you are using it, you're not going to suddenly start. If you needed one in an emergency (and what would that be?), you could probably borrow one from somebody.
I absolutely agree with you 100% I have a difficult time with stuff like that, I always think, because its a somewhat bigger kitchen appliance, thats its really valuable and we need to keep it, but it really isn't being used that much by anyone and it takes up a lot of space. And im sure theres someone I know who has one if I absolutely needed one, which honestly I doubt I would LOL I think another reason is because it was my uncles, he passed years back, but I think someone else would really enjoy that. Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend, HUGS 🥰
@@danniraearranged I'm the kind of person who forgets to start supper in time, so I LOVE my instant pot. I have all three sizes. Use them at least twice a week. I use my air fryer at least once a week. But I haven't used my blender or food processor in years. I donated my bread maker and then bought another one from a thrift store --- twice. I bought my husband a sous vide and we used it once. You never know what new appliances will stick onto your lifestyle!
It was the first thing to go when my youngest left for college. Cooking for just two now, we don’t need it. We don’t have to prepare a big family meal so we no longer need that convenience- we can have cereal and toast for supper if we want! 😂
Hi Danni, the Instant Pot is a very valuable tool but in order to get use out of it I think you should ponder about what purpose you want it to serve. For example, I use mine for stews, soups, and curries. It’s basically what I used to use a crock pot for, but it only takes 18 minutes to cook. My suggestion is, check out a book on EASY instant pot recipes, or look online if you prefer. Take inspiration from that, and see if it’s something you can fit into your cooking routine. I really swear by my instant pot and my family always loves the meals it creates! (I emphasized EASY because for me the beauty of the instant pot is its simplicity and some recipes out there are unnecessarily complicated. But there are so many easy recipes too :)
Love mama Robyn! Swedish death trap was so funny! Let insta pot go maybe sell it. Great video. Peonies are my absolute favorite flower and hold a wonderful memory of my grandma, very sentimental Love you Danni♥️ I'll be waiting for the next one!
OMYGOSH! Those peonies are stunning!!! Do they smell as fabulous as they look? I have had so many flowering bushes but never had peonies. Would put them all through my house as decor. WoW! I just love your videos so much. You are really so special Danielle. Love watching your journey and also helping your parents declutter too. My journey started in 2014 and I have loved the whole process. Just this last week I decluttered a trash bag full. It is a never ending process. If anything new comes in I find 2 things to go. I am old so I can part with so much. Haha, I cackled when I heard your Mom say the Swedish Death Trap. I played it back again as I thought she said the Swedish Death Crap. So funny! Sorry I wrote so much here. Just love every video you put up here. Thank you for all of your hard but I bet fun work. 👍💮💜 Nancy
😂😂omg, your mom totally turned on you and called you out. Haha. She said NO to the letter holder organizer thing from your childhood. And then the Swedish Death Trap...😂😂 I almost peed. Love you guys!!❤ God bless y'all you know😅
Right! 😆🤣🤣 Did you see my face LMBO that was a "I cant believe you used my own words against me" face LOL I literally was laughing so hard, my sides hurt, it was funnier because shes always giving Swedish Death Cleaning a different name, but Swedish Death Trap, that tops them all 😆We LOVE you Jenn! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me! Lots of luv & blessings ❤️
Ommgg Swedish death trap!! I diiieedd! The first time she has said before “ok what is the swedish deal here” and then she said “ well now ya you got into the swedish death trap”. Whats next?! See why i love when mama robin is in your video?! And why i love the videos of decluttering at her house 😂😂😂😂
Lol!🤣🤣your mom looked Absolutely looked annoyed during your explanation, I'm hearing you but??? What I came to realize is it hurts the environment when we buy so much and throw away so much, when you think about it we've polluted the earth for the next generation🤔 Your video came up as I was decluttering my linen closet, I'm getting rid of sheets extra pillow cases, I only need 2 sets for each bed. Thanks for the motivation.
🤣🤣🤣 I thought the exact same thing when I was editing, oh my gosh im cry laughing right now ha!!!! And yes, I completely 1000% agree with you, I didnt realize it years ago but when I started getting serious with the decluttering process is when I fully recognized the waste I was creating. Another lesson the decluttering process has taught me! Another lesson im grateful for! And thats what I try to do, 2 sets of sheets for each bed, I have to go through linens again, esp. the cabin linens, oh my gosh I cant believe how many blankets, sheets etc were up there. I wish I had a linen closet. Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend 🥰🥰
I gotta get it together when I come across things that I've created a sentimental attachment to, that she no longer wants, theres times when I come across something from my childhood or it reminds me of my childhood and I immediately place a memory with it... and then I value it waaaay more than I should, I have to figure out a better way to navigate through that stuff, over at my house too, the song "Let it go, let it go" 😂always pops into my head when I do stuff like that! You're both right 100%. Thanks so much for watching & being here with us friend. 🥰
When I cleaned out my mom’s house I took pictures of lots of things she had saved that were mine. I got rid of most of them. Some awards I got in high school. My very old flute. A small ceramic Holly Hobbie container. Old cassette tapes and albums. I knew that I already had some things at my house that I was saving.
Hi, Danni! I love Mama Robin! You did great! I am still working on my basement. I spent two hours down there and am starting to rearrange it and boxing all that’s going. Can only do a little at a time. Will go back tomorrow. Love the peonies! They are gorgeous! Make sure you shake them out. Ants love them too!🐜🐜🐜🐜 Glad to see you again! Hugs! 👍🌹🥰💜🤪
The basement is such a hard area...ive been avoiding the basement because i'm frustrated with it LOL I still want to make over the basement but time, money and energy have stopped my process LOL. I'll get back to it, I dont know when but Im determined. Like you said, "little at a time" You're doing an amazing job, so glad we've been on this decluttering journey together Sharon. Hugs back from both of us ❤️ ps good to know on the peonies, ill be sure to shake them well, omg I LOVE them so much, they make me happy ha!
❤❤❤ lately I'm really behind with your videos or any video tbh, I was in a car accident, nothing serious but still couple of broken bones and I'm really glad that I finally catch up 😂 hope you guys doing great, sending lots of hugs across the ocean especially for Momma Robyn 🤗
OMG Renata, I hope you're okay, I'm so very sorry that happened, momma Robyn and I are sending you so much luv, thoughts & prayers right now 🙏🙏🙏 You take care of you, hoping for s very speedy recovery. Hugs from both of us ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my😮 Danielle I loved this video. Hey momma Robin!!!! She's come a long way on her decluttering journey. So have you my friend. I liked how you broke it up in sections and explained certain things. I say keep the insta pot. I have an idea, the cabinets in your dining room area off your kitchen, why not store all the items from your kitchen in the dining room, that way you can get more storage in your cabinets. And when you need that certain item, you could always grab it from the dining room cabinet. So anything that you don't use on a daily basis, just store it in the dining room cabinets. Just a thought.
That is a great idea! come to think of it, this could actually in both our homes, that is such a GREAT idea, I never would have thought to do something like that! Seriously girl, you have the BEST ideas/tips/advice! LOVE it! I'll see if I can figure it out and see how well it works! And you are so SWEET friend, you always make my week & brighten up my day! Momma Robyn says HI we luv ya lady! Hugs ❤️
@@danniraearranged Anything to help a friend. I hope it works for you both. It would be a way to make space in the kitchen for more food items and the dining room cabinets seems like the perfect space to put extras in them that is not used every day as far as small appliances such as the Insta Pot. You are so welcome. By the way you were mentioned in a video I did with my mom. We were decluttering her kitchen.
Mama Robyn time! So far, good choices. Don't come for the spatulas! Good choice on the first nine. Nice holder! Happy Birthday, Tony! Aw, the letter thing. We had one similar that is still hanging at the home I grew up in. I don't blame you for keeping it, it's handy. It's a Swedish Death Trap, LOL! Yeah, I'm with Mama Robyn. That lamp is something else. Oh, Mama Robyn is thinking about something, but it's not consumption. I think she's trying not to laugh. "Stay on the path." I think my path goes straight through those Wizard of Oz poppy fields of sleeping. Full steam ahead, followed by nap time. She's kept the bath cabinet like a charm. Go Mama Robyn! The "beg" of stuff. She's doing so well on getting rid of the cliche late 80's decor. That's a tough one for most boomer-ish folks. Those bowls had to be saved. Love them! Fair bowl trade. Those flowers are beautiful!!! I'd call them "PEE-oh-knees". Great job, as always!!!!
I'm surprised she let go of the spatulas that she did let go of (I feel like that didnt make sense 😆) Tony says thanks...he turn 69, last year in his 60's, although he tells people he is about 4-5 years younger LMBO I have a serious problem creating emotional attachment to items that even slightly remind me of my childhood, even a mail holder ha! I have it in the maybe pile currently, but I think its so CUTE! "Swedish Death Trap" I almost peed my pants, its even funnier because shes always giving Swedish Death Cleaning a new name, but that one tops them all 🤣🤣🤣and I have to admit you and momma Robyn may be correct LOL its not the worlds most attractive lamp 😆 shes so blunt and she was definitely thinking something....something that has nothing to do with consumption ha! "wizard of OZ" "followed by a nap" Im cracking up seriously I LOVE your comments Leigh they always make my week! Oh my gosh the 80's 90's decor, it gets me every time 🤣🤣 I'd love to do some home makeovers with her, that would be SO FUN! "Boomer-ish folks" my sides hurt 😆 Couldnt part with the bowls, so cute, I thought it was a good compromise and now I will always remember peonies as "PEE-OH-KNEES" 😆You're the best! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. 🥰🥰
Oh Danni, I loved this video. The fun conversations you have with your mama Robin are so worth watching. You mimicking each other’s hand gestures and your mom’s “Swedish Death Trap” method comment made me laugh out loud, to the point I spilt my coffee. Your mum did really well with the declutter. Maybe if your mom has too many hand soaps and won’t use them all she could donate them to a women’s shelter because they always need things. I liked the little tiny piggy ornaments and I would have kept them. 🐖 With regards to the insta pot, you are tricking yourself into keeping it for two reasons: Firstly, is the “just in case” argument and secondly is the “it was an expensive purchase” or “We spent money on it so we should keep it” notion. Also, the peonies were gorgeous.
It's so good to see your Mom! I have missed you working with her. I got a get a cup of coffee and watch this. Swedish Death trap. 😅 this is gonna be good!
Seriously "Swedish Death Trap" 😆 I laughed so hard my sides hurt, she keeps calling Swedish Death Cleaning, something different every time she brings it up, but that was 🤣🤣 Always so happy to see you here with me friend. Hugs from us both ❤️
Oh, what a fun video. I laughed at you two so much. Proud of Momma Robin. She handled the challenge so well. 😂😂 it's good to know your Dad is getting listening and watching you girls decluttering. Maybe next time will be more than a broken chair. Thanks for all the helpful information. Love seeing your videos. Can't wait until the next swedish death trap one. Hope you have an awesome week.
🤣😂 Swedish Death Trap OMG she had my sides hurting I was laughing so dang hard. Some of the things she says ha! I keep hoping one day my dad will pop on and declutter with us, its my dad who really, really struggles to declutter. But a lawn chair is something LMBO Always so happy to see you here with me Sherry, I hope you have an AMAZING week ahead, Hugs from us both ❤️
😂🤣🤣 When she said that I seriously almost peed my pants, she called it something else a couple videos back that made me 😆but Swedish Death Trap takes the cake LMBO Thanks for watching & being here with us friend. 🥰
Omg peonies are my absolute favorite flower 🌸 and their smell is truly intoxicating. Just gorgeous! Did you plant those from seeds? Oh Thanks for the video! I love that cluttering idea about gathering a certain number of items to get rid of! I am still quite a mess, but I am trying to work on it. I walk around with a big hefty bag, and keep count in my head of everything I’m throwing out. No, candy wrappers don’t count! I simply won’t keep track of those lmao😅. I love you always for your help❤ I wish you were here in NY with me though!
No I didnt the previous owners must have planted them, but omg every year theres more and more and there huge and beautiful and I LOVE them so much, there smell is intoxicating, there gorgeous they have become my new favorite flower too. I wish I could have fresh ones all year round, that would be wonderful! And you got this!!!! Grabbing a hefty bag and going around the house is a great strategy, I tried counting recycling, stuff like that when I first started to declutter to make myself feel better ha! But it doesnt count LOL And you are the SWEETEST!!! I appreciate ya so much! Thanks for watching & being here with us! So happy we're on this decluttering journey together! ❤️
LMBO she keep calling Swedish Death Cleaning something different every time its mentioned, but Swedish Death Trap takes the cake, that was hilarious, my sides hurt from laughing 😂🤣We luv & appreciate ya so much friend. Lots of luv & blessings to you ❤️
You inspired me with your 100 item challenge. I decided to take 10 minutes to see how many items I could declutter. Well I ended up decluttering 70 items in about 30 minutes. Things like postcards, expired pepper spray, very old thread that might have belonged to my grandmother and other random items. Thanks for all you do! Hugs.🥸... I saw your mom's silicone cupcake liners and remembered to declutter mine. I don't like them. So I'm up to 94 items now! LOVE your flowers!!!!
🥳🥳🥳 YAY!!! This just made my entire day! YES! And omg you got through 70 items in 30 minutes, thats amazing, I dont know if I could do that, maybe I should try...see how much I can do in 30 minutes, thats would be an awesome challenge! She didnt like the silicone cupcakes liners either, she wasnt much for the silicone tongs either, I remembered she decluttered those as well. Im officially obsessed with peonies now LOL I wish I could have fresh ones all year round! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. Hugs ❤️
Later on my son went through several of his storage bins and decluttered enough that one whole bin was empty. So we went well beyond the 100 items today. Yay! 😁
They have become my new favorite flower, every year I get more and more but this year I have had bushel fulls of peonies, they smell amazing they're absolutely stunning I only wish I could have them all year long. Always so happy to see you here with me friend thank you for all of your comments. Hugs 🥰
@@danniraearranged I saw a video saying you can clip them and store them in the fridge to spread out the enjoyment of them since it is a short period of time. If you Google it it can show you how others do it and when to clip and how to store. I have not tried this. I forgot to. 🤣 Maybe next year. You have a bunch though so I bet you could try next time and see if it works well so you can enjoy them for a longer time. 🙂 And I like to yap. 🤣 Glad you are cool with that. 😎
I couldnt do it 🤣Its a part of me now, I just shove it away somewhere when I get sick of wearing it after a while, how many times did I try decluttering that shirt??? LMBO I'll never have the courage to actually give it up. I tried finding it off Amazon, I keep looking and I cant find that exact one anywhere :( I was hoping to link it when I wear it. Hmmm? Thanks for watching & being here with me friend ❤️
Hi Danni it’s so much fun when your with your Mom helping her declutter she does a great job you both make me laugh thanks for the great video I loved it ❤
I almost peed my pants, omg, it was even funnier because she can never get the name right, she calls Swedish DeathCleaning something different every time we talk about it, but Swedish Death Trap, that one takes the cake 😆LMBO Thanks so much for watching & being here with us friend. ❤️
🤣🤣🤣 I never thought of that...great idea LMBO although it wont be too difficult for me to keep the nuttiness up, I could kick it up a notch....that may be too much nuttiness 😆 We're always so HAPPY to see you here with us Rae! Hope you have an amazing week ahead! Hugs ❤️
Mama Robin is the best!! “Swedish Death Trap” 😂😂😂 I’m crying and my abs hurt! I love you two!
I was eating crackers at the time….and they came spraying out of my mouth. 😂😂😂
I had a mouthful of Pepsi and that spurted from here in the UK over to you guys, hilarious x
i almost peed my pants, she called it something else videos back but "Swedish Death Trap" takes the cake 🤣🤣 Some of the things she says LMBO 🥰🥰🥰
🤣🤣😆 I almost peed my pants, some of the things she says...she a little...Blunt 🤣
🥰🥰🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣....was wondering where that came from 😆
🥰🥰🥰

I went to a car boot sale with my mother when i was 40. All I did was pick up an ornament to see the makers stamp..when she said in front of the seller.. now are you sure you need that?! Never went with her again....so embarrassing!
Hey there Danni! Miss you. Hope you’re enjoying your summer. 😊
Anything that reminds you of your childhood take a picture! I made all of my childhood memory pictures into a little book. I can flip through and remember, and I don’t have to have all of that stuff in my house. Love the Swedish Death Trap. 😂😂 50 Points for mom 😂😂😂

Hi Danni- My kids and I just did a bunch of decluttering. We’re donating 7 bags of clothes, 2 bags of bedding, 5 boxes of books, 2 bags of tote bags, some shoes and some hangers. 😊
That's great!
Way to go!
Hi Danni! Just wondering when you will have a video out. I hope everything is okay. ❤
Hi Danni! Where are you?! Missing you over here! Hope all's well, can't wait to see your next video!
SWEDISH DEATH TRAP 💀💀💀 That absolutely SENT ME!!!
Great job…. 100 didn’t seem like a lot but it was so much……. Imagine doing this 100 declutter on repeat 😮
It is such a fun way to declutter …….❤
Yes, I'm in the same place. Stuff stays in my Amazon cart for a long time and then, over time, gets shifted to Save For Later. I'm also on a book buying ban because I have enough books. I'm doing the Read-What-I-Own challenge (20 books) until I can buy new books, and I've removed many books from my shelves.
I have many books I want to read also. My home is a bookstore! Trying very hard not to buy any more. It’s hard for me!
Where’s my Daniiiiiiiiii girl🥲🥲🥲🥲
💪 Your mom has really strengthened her decluttering muscles, which is an ironic term because she's actually loosening her grip on the items.
First video I've ever watched.. I'm Subscribing now... I love your mom... Her Midwest accent is so great! 'Swedish Death Trap'... OMG, almost pissed myself!
Mama Robin and The Swedish Death Trap...that was the best...😆😂🤣...You guys are the best. Mama Robin is on a roll ❤

Love my instant pot. Use it at least once a week. Helps with quicker meals ,even meats from frozen. Also, it can be used as a slow cooker, so I decluttered my crockpot.
I'd rather have a round instant pot and trade in my elliptical slow cooker.
Hope everything is ok? ❤
I cant imagine NOT having an instant pot. I use mine every single day...there are days we use it 2 or 3 times. I do hard boiled eggs at least once a week, rice once or twice a week, potatoes once or twice a week...stew/soup/chili 2-3 times a week. And my favorite thing to do in there is spaghetti.

Wooden handles seem to be the big thing now. Ugh. I tried to find a spatula last week with a rigid plastic handle and I couldn't find any! I finally settled on a one piece silicon spatula, but it's not my first preference.
Are you ok ? We haven’t seen you for a while ?
An idea on the Instant Pot, check and see if your library has a library of things. If it does, donate to them and if you ever want to use it you can borrow it from the library. I did that with Dad's crockpot.
Way to go, Robin 🎉
Love your channel. Very interesting and extremely hilarious 🇬🇧🇺🇸🌸🌸
Your mom and the soaps! Rewatch the old videos and realize the win! Her mindset is changing just slowly! I am on the same journey with my mom but she joined the bandwagon more easily. You got this. Keep going you are winning!
I love it when you go to your Mom’s house. She is so much fun. We have that same spice rack. It’s great!
Danni love your glasses. You and Robin are so fun together. ❤
Great fun! And Well Done.
Let GO of the Instant Pot. If neither of you are using it, you're not going to suddenly start. If you needed one in an emergency (and what would that be?), you could probably borrow one from somebody.
I absolutely agree with you 100% I have a difficult time with stuff like that, I always think, because its a somewhat bigger kitchen appliance, thats its really valuable and we need to keep it, but it really isn't being used that much by anyone and it takes up a lot of space. And im sure theres someone I know who has one if I absolutely needed one, which honestly I doubt I would LOL I think another reason is because it was my uncles, he passed years back, but I think someone else would really enjoy that. Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend, HUGS 🥰
@@danniraearranged I'm the kind of person who forgets to start supper in time, so I LOVE my instant pot. I have all three sizes. Use them at least twice a week. I use my air fryer at least once a week. But I haven't used my blender or food processor in years. I donated my bread maker and then bought another one from a thrift store --- twice. I bought my husband a sous vide and we used it once. You never know what new appliances will stick onto your lifestyle!
Keep the insta pot. It is great for quick, easy meals. I use mine almost daily. There are tons of recipes online.
It was the first thing to go when my youngest left for college. Cooking for just two now, we don’t need it. We don’t have to prepare a big family meal so we no longer need that convenience- we can have cereal and toast for supper if we want! 😂
Hi Danni, the Instant Pot is a very valuable tool but in order to get use out of it I think you should ponder about what purpose you want it to serve. For example, I use mine for stews, soups, and curries. It’s basically what I used to use a crock pot for, but it only takes 18 minutes to cook.
My suggestion is, check out a book on EASY instant pot recipes, or look online if you prefer. Take inspiration from that, and see if it’s something you can fit into your cooking routine. I really swear by my instant pot and my family always loves the meals it creates! (I emphasized EASY because for me the beauty of the instant pot is its simplicity and some recipes out there are unnecessarily complicated. But there are so many easy recipes too :)
I love when you go to your moms house. Let her know she inspired me to declutter 6 of the 20 jigsaw puzzles I have!
Love you and Mama Robin .
Love mama Robyn! Swedish death trap was so funny! Let insta pot go maybe sell it. Great video. Peonies are my absolute favorite flower and hold a wonderful memory of my grandma, very sentimental
Love you Danni♥️ I'll be waiting for the next one!
Good video, made it so logical & easy to visualize. Your comment about filling open spaces, yep! Pe-oh-knees
I was really impressed with the utensils let gos mama Robyn!!! 😊 Lots of quick decisions!
Love it!!
I love your wisdom! So much food for thought.
🥰🥰😘
OMYGOSH! Those peonies are stunning!!! Do they smell as fabulous as they look? I have had so many flowering bushes but never had peonies. Would put them all through my house as decor. WoW! I just love your videos so much. You are really so special Danielle. Love watching your journey and also helping your parents declutter too. My journey started in 2014 and I have loved the whole process. Just this last week I decluttered a trash bag full. It is a never ending process. If anything new comes in I find 2 things to go. I am old so I can part with so much. Haha, I cackled when I heard your Mom say the Swedish Death Trap. I played it back again as I thought she said the Swedish Death Crap. So funny! Sorry I wrote so much here. Just love every video you put up here. Thank you for all of your hard but I bet fun work. 👍💮💜 Nancy
😂😂omg, your mom totally turned on you and called you out. Haha. She said NO to the letter holder organizer thing from your childhood. And then the Swedish Death Trap...😂😂 I almost peed. Love you guys!!❤ God bless y'all you know😅
Right! 😆🤣🤣 Did you see my face LMBO that was a "I cant believe you used my own words against me" face LOL I literally was laughing so hard, my sides hurt, it was funnier because shes always giving Swedish Death Cleaning a different name, but Swedish Death Trap, that tops them all 😆We LOVE you Jenn! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me! Lots of luv & blessings ❤️
Ommgg Swedish death trap!! I diiieedd!
The first time she has said before “ok what is the swedish deal here” and then she said “ well now ya you got into the swedish death trap”. Whats next?! See why i love when mama robin is in your video?! And why i love the videos of decluttering at her house 😂😂😂😂
Lol!🤣🤣your mom looked Absolutely looked annoyed during your explanation, I'm hearing you but??? What I came to realize is it hurts the environment when we buy so much and throw away so much, when you think about it we've polluted the earth for the next generation🤔 Your video came up as I was decluttering my linen closet, I'm getting rid of sheets extra pillow cases, I only need 2 sets for each bed. Thanks for the motivation.
🤣🤣🤣 I thought the exact same thing when I was editing, oh my gosh im cry laughing right now ha!!!! And yes, I completely 1000% agree with you, I didnt realize it years ago but when I started getting serious with the decluttering process is when I fully recognized the waste I was creating. Another lesson the decluttering process has taught me! Another lesson im grateful for! And thats what I try to do, 2 sets of sheets for each bed, I have to go through linens again, esp. the cabin linens, oh my gosh I cant believe how many blankets, sheets etc were up there. I wish I had a linen closet. Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend 🥰🥰
Yes Danni, listened to your mom, let go of your childhood stuff.
.... love her ❤🙌
I gotta get it together when I come across things that I've created a sentimental attachment to, that she no longer wants, theres times when I come across something from my childhood or it reminds me of my childhood and I immediately place a memory with it... and then I value it waaaay more than I should, I have to figure out a better way to navigate through that stuff, over at my house too, the song "Let it go, let it go" 😂always pops into my head when I do stuff like that! You're both right 100%. Thanks so much for watching & being here with us friend. 🥰
When I cleaned out my mom’s house I took pictures of lots of things she had saved that were mine. I got rid of most of them. Some awards I got in high school. My very old flute. A small ceramic Holly Hobbie container. Old cassette tapes and albums. I knew that I already had some things at my house that I was saving.
I enjoy watching, you guys make decluttering fun!!🤣
HI Danni! Hi Robyn! You did awesome!💜
I love that lamp is that a touch lamp?? We had one of those growing up with peach flowers
I had one many years ago too. 😊
Thank goodness! 😂 I kept going down rabbit holes and I am supposed to wash these boring dishes. Hoping this video sticks to my brain. 😂❤
Your Mom did SO GOOD
Well done!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I loved this video so much. Im a hardcore minimalist but Ive struggled with shopping. Youve helped me become more intentional❤
Love watching you and your mom ❤
You are so SWEET! So grateful you're here with us friend. Lots of luv 🥰
Ommgg danni where did your mom purchase that beautiful spice rack holder?! I have been on a hunt for one like that for years!
Hi, Danni! I love Mama Robin! You did great! I am still working on my basement. I spent two hours down there and am starting to rearrange it and boxing all that’s going. Can only do a little at a time. Will go back tomorrow. Love the peonies! They are gorgeous! Make sure you shake them out. Ants love them too!🐜🐜🐜🐜 Glad to see you again! Hugs! 👍🌹🥰💜🤪
The basement is such a hard area...ive been avoiding the basement because i'm frustrated with it LOL I still want to make over the basement but time, money and energy have stopped my process LOL. I'll get back to it, I dont know when but Im determined. Like you said, "little at a time" You're doing an amazing job, so glad we've been on this decluttering journey together Sharon. Hugs back from both of us ❤️ ps good to know on the peonies, ill be sure to shake them well, omg I LOVE them so much, they make me happy ha!
Put some roast chickens in the Instant Pot! People make rice and baked potatoes in it!
I have stuff boxed and bagged ready for tomorrow pickup! Maybe not 100 items , but close and so proud of me ! ❤
Very nice video...Kept my attention easily...
Your peonies are magnificent! They are my favourite flower too.
❤❤❤ lately I'm really behind with your videos or any video tbh, I was in a car accident, nothing serious but still couple of broken bones and I'm really glad that I finally catch up 😂 hope you guys doing great, sending lots of hugs across the ocean especially for Momma Robyn 🤗
OMG Renata, I hope you're okay, I'm so very sorry that happened, momma Robyn and I are sending you so much luv, thoughts & prayers right now 🙏🙏🙏 You take care of you, hoping for s very speedy recovery. Hugs from both of us ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you had an accident. Best wishes for a smooth fast recovery. ❤
@@BlueBird-nf2gp thank you 🙃
@@danniraearranged thank you 🙃
What fun! Swedish death trap!! That's about right!
😆🤣🤣
Oh my😮 Danielle I loved this video. Hey momma Robin!!!! She's come a long way on her decluttering journey. So have you my friend. I liked how you broke it up in sections and explained certain things. I say keep the insta pot. I have an idea, the cabinets in your dining room area off your kitchen, why not store all the items from your kitchen in the dining room, that way you can get more storage in your cabinets. And when you need that certain item, you could always grab it from the dining room cabinet. So anything that you don't use on a daily basis, just store it in the dining room cabinets. Just a thought.
That is a great idea! come to think of it, this could actually in both our homes, that is such a GREAT idea, I never would have thought to do something like that! Seriously girl, you have the BEST ideas/tips/advice! LOVE it! I'll see if I can figure it out and see how well it works! And you are so SWEET friend, you always make my week & brighten up my day! Momma Robyn says HI we luv ya lady! Hugs ❤️
@@danniraearranged Anything to help a friend. I hope it works for you both. It would be a way to make space in the kitchen for more food items and the dining room cabinets seems like the perfect space to put extras in them that is not used every day as far as small appliances such as the Insta Pot. You are so welcome. By the way you were mentioned in a video I did with my mom. We were decluttering her kitchen.
Mama Robyn time! So far, good choices. Don't come for the spatulas! Good choice on the first nine. Nice holder! Happy Birthday, Tony!
Aw, the letter thing. We had one similar that is still hanging at the home I grew up in. I don't blame you for keeping it, it's handy. It's a Swedish Death Trap, LOL!
Yeah, I'm with Mama Robyn. That lamp is something else. Oh, Mama Robyn is thinking about something, but it's not consumption. I think she's trying not to laugh.
"Stay on the path." I think my path goes straight through those Wizard of Oz poppy fields of sleeping. Full steam ahead, followed by nap time.
She's kept the bath cabinet like a charm. Go Mama Robyn!
The "beg" of stuff. She's doing so well on getting rid of the cliche late 80's decor. That's a tough one for most boomer-ish folks.
Those bowls had to be saved. Love them! Fair bowl trade.
Those flowers are beautiful!!! I'd call them "PEE-oh-knees". Great job, as always!!!!
I'm surprised she let go of the spatulas that she did let go of (I feel like that didnt make sense 😆) Tony says thanks...he turn 69, last year in his 60's, although he tells people he is about 4-5 years younger LMBO I have a serious problem creating emotional attachment to items that even slightly remind me of my childhood, even a mail holder ha! I have it in the maybe pile currently, but I think its so CUTE!
"Swedish Death Trap" I almost peed my pants, its even funnier because shes always giving Swedish Death Cleaning a new name, but that one tops them all 🤣🤣🤣and I have to admit you and momma Robyn may be correct LOL its not the worlds most attractive lamp 😆 shes so blunt and she was definitely thinking something....something that has nothing to do with consumption ha!
"wizard of OZ" "followed by a nap" Im cracking up seriously I LOVE your comments Leigh they always make my week! Oh my gosh the 80's 90's decor, it gets me every time 🤣🤣 I'd love to do some home makeovers with her, that would be SO FUN! "Boomer-ish folks" my sides hurt 😆
Couldnt part with the bowls, so cute, I thought it was a good compromise and now I will always remember peonies as "PEE-OH-KNEES" 😆You're the best! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. 🥰🥰
Oh Danni, I loved this video. The fun conversations you have with your mama Robin are so worth watching. You mimicking each other’s hand gestures and your mom’s “Swedish Death Trap” method comment made me laugh out loud, to the point I spilt my coffee. Your mum did really well with the declutter. Maybe if your mom has too many hand soaps and won’t use them all she could donate them to a women’s shelter because they always need things. I liked the little tiny piggy ornaments and I would have kept them. 🐖 With regards to the insta pot, you are tricking yourself into keeping it for two reasons: Firstly, is the “just in case” argument and secondly is the “it was an expensive purchase” or “We spent money on it so we should keep it” notion. Also, the peonies were gorgeous.
It's so good to see your Mom! I have missed you working with her. I got a get a cup of coffee and watch this. Swedish Death trap. 😅 this is gonna be good!
Seriously "Swedish Death Trap" 😆 I laughed so hard my sides hurt, she keeps calling Swedish Death Cleaning, something different every time she brings it up, but that was 🤣🤣 Always so happy to see you here with me friend. Hugs from us both ❤️
I think I like the way you said gorgeous, even more than the way you pronounce bags!!! My father taught me to play chess when I was little, too!
Oh, what a fun video. I laughed at you two so much. Proud of Momma Robin. She handled the challenge so well. 😂😂 it's good to know your Dad is getting listening and watching you girls decluttering. Maybe next time will be more than a broken chair. Thanks for all the helpful information. Love seeing your videos. Can't wait until the next swedish death trap one. Hope you have an awesome week.
🤣😂 Swedish Death Trap OMG she had my sides hurting I was laughing so dang hard. Some of the things she says ha! I keep hoping one day my dad will pop on and declutter with us, its my dad who really, really struggles to declutter. But a lawn chair is something LMBO Always so happy to see you here with me Sherry, I hope you have an AMAZING week ahead, Hugs from us both ❤️
Swedish Death Trap, indeed! That was hilarious! Thanks, Mama Robin. 12:
😂🤣🤣 When she said that I seriously almost peed my pants, she called it something else a couple videos back that made me 😆but Swedish Death Trap takes the cake LMBO Thanks for watching & being here with us friend. 🥰
Oh Danielle, *Happy Birthday to Tony!* 🍰🍧☕
Happy Birthday Tony! 🥳 I wanna eat his cake too. 🤤
Put the instapot in a time out box and mark it with the the date. It’s temporary then you check in later to see if you still want it or need it.😊
Now I have to get busy declutterring.
Omg peonies are my absolute favorite flower 🌸 and their smell is truly intoxicating. Just gorgeous! Did you plant those from seeds? Oh Thanks for the video! I love that cluttering idea about gathering a certain number of items to get rid of! I am still quite a mess, but I am trying to work on it. I walk around with a big hefty bag, and keep count in my head of everything I’m throwing out. No, candy wrappers don’t count! I simply won’t keep track of those lmao😅. I love you always for your help❤ I wish you were here in NY with me though!
No I didnt the previous owners must have planted them, but omg every year theres more and more and there huge and beautiful and I LOVE them so much, there smell is intoxicating, there gorgeous they have become my new favorite flower too. I wish I could have fresh ones all year round, that would be wonderful! And you got this!!!! Grabbing a hefty bag and going around the house is a great strategy, I tried counting recycling, stuff like that when I first started to declutter to make myself feel better ha! But it doesnt count LOL And you are the SWEETEST!!! I appreciate ya so much! Thanks for watching & being here with us! So happy we're on this decluttering journey together! ❤️
Oh Danni, I luv it when you & your Mum are together - hilite of this fab vid : 'Swedish death trap' - classic Momma R lol 😆 Lv n blessings, mxxx ❤
LMBO she keep calling Swedish Death Cleaning something different every time its mentioned, but Swedish Death Trap takes the cake, that was hilarious, my sides hurt from laughing 😂🤣We luv & appreciate ya so much friend. Lots of luv & blessings to you ❤️
Love it! Watching twice as always. You are my best work friend because I work from home alone.😂
Love it! So funny! Thanks for the video.
So grateful you're here with us friend! Thank you! Hugs from both of us ❤️
Hey Dani! That green cake plate is FABULOUS! Dont declutter that for petes sake. I LOVE your energy!
You inspired me with your 100 item challenge. I decided to take 10 minutes to see how many items I could declutter. Well I ended up decluttering 70 items in about 30 minutes. Things like postcards, expired pepper spray, very old thread that might have belonged to my grandmother and other random items. Thanks for all you do! Hugs.🥸... I saw your mom's silicone cupcake liners and remembered to declutter mine. I don't like them. So I'm up to 94 items now! LOVE your flowers!!!!
🥳🥳🥳 YAY!!! This just made my entire day! YES! And omg you got through 70 items in 30 minutes, thats amazing, I dont know if I could do that, maybe I should try...see how much I can do in 30 minutes, thats would be an awesome challenge!
She didnt like the silicone cupcakes liners either, she wasnt much for the silicone tongs either, I remembered she decluttered those as well. Im officially obsessed with peonies now LOL I wish I could have fresh ones all year round! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. Hugs ❤️
Later on my son went through several of his storage bins and decluttered enough that one whole bin was empty. So we went well beyond the 100 items today. Yay! 😁
Hahaha! 😆The Swedish Death Trap! 🤣 Greetings to you and your mom from Stockholm, Sweden! 😘
I get so excited when you post a video!!! 😊😄 Yassss ❤
You MessyTessie are the BEST! Thank you for making my day! Always so HAPPY to see you here with me friend. Lots of luv 🥰😘
Beautiful peonies. I have some in my yard. ☺️
They have become my new favorite flower, every year I get more and more but this year I have had bushel fulls of peonies, they smell amazing they're absolutely stunning I only wish I could have them all year long. Always so happy to see you here with me friend thank you for all of your comments. Hugs 🥰
@@danniraearranged I saw a video saying you can clip them and store them in the fridge to spread out the enjoyment of them since it is a short period of time. If you Google it it can show you how others do it and when to clip and how to store. I have not tried this. I forgot to. 🤣 Maybe next year. You have a bunch though so I bet you could try next time and see if it works well so you can enjoy them for a longer time. 🙂 And I like to yap. 🤣 Glad you are cool with that. 😎
I am happy to see you did not decluttered your „coffee addicted Shirt“ 😁
I couldnt do it 🤣Its a part of me now, I just shove it away somewhere when I get sick of wearing it after a while, how many times did I try decluttering that shirt??? LMBO I'll never have the courage to actually give it up. I tried finding it off Amazon, I keep looking and I cant find that exact one anywhere :( I was hoping to link it when I wear it. Hmmm?
Thanks for watching & being here with me friend ❤️
Ive missed you!❤
❤❤❤ you are awesome & I totally relate to you!
So PROUD MOMMA ROBBINS🎉🎉😀👏👏❣️
This is going to be a good one 😂
Love your mom so funny
We luv you 🥰😘
I missed your mother.🤭So happy to see her! 🤩
She missed you guys! We're so HAPPY you're here with us friend. Hugs from us both 🥰
Hi Danni it’s so much fun when your with your Mom helping her declutter she does a great job you both make me laugh thanks for the great video I loved it ❤
I laughed until I cried when your mom said “Swedish death trap!” 🤣🤣🤣 Absolutely hilarious!
I almost peed my pants, omg, it was even funnier because she can never get the name right, she calls Swedish DeathCleaning something different every time we talk about it, but Swedish Death Trap, that one takes the cake 😆LMBO
Thanks so much for watching & being here with us friend. ❤️
Keep acting crazy in that room maybe the other neighbor will put up a fence, lol. Always love watching you and your mom. Enjoy the day. 😊
🤣🤣🤣 I never thought of that...great idea LMBO although it wont be too difficult for me to keep the nuttiness up, I could kick it up a notch....that may be too much nuttiness 😆 We're always so HAPPY to see you here with us Rae! Hope you have an amazing week ahead! Hugs ❤️
You look adorable as usual!!!
Blushing, you're so dang sweet Carolyn Thank you ❤️
Let the InstaPot GO
"How about that Swedish death trap?"- Hahahaha!! 🤣🤣🤣Your mom is a riot! Love it :)
😆🤣🤣
