As a suggestion to the future of your kon mari journey. You can either immediately put donate bags in your trunk so that next time you're in the area they can be dropped off at a donation site. Also you could park your trailer inside one of the garages empty and all donate items would go onto them as you made a bag. Then the trailer would be loaded and ready to go on a good day.
Not sure if anyone has suggested this already, but I have an idea for the ride-on toys in the garage: you can create a little "parking lot" for them. Just put some masking tape on the floor in rectangles that are roughly the size of each the toys that need "parking", then they're all together and the kids can put them back in their designated spaces on their own.
Wow. Watching the first five minutes gave me major anxiety. It’s like I could feel the manifestation of your mental and emotional state in how you stored, cared for, kept, and even forgot about your belongings. I’m so glad that there is more peace in your life! God is good! Continuing to pray for your family’s spiritual growth and protection. The peace of the Lord is truly an unshakeable blessing.
I just cleaned out my apartment on Saturday last week. It feels so nice helps me keep my house clean. And I finally got my fiance to let me give our giant house plant to my friend so much more space for my daughter to play :)
First... You look fabulous Katie! Your hard work has really paid off!! I have really enjoyed your KonMari videos. We started that journey last spring right as we decided to put our house on the market. I decided I wasn't moving clutter and just did a mass clean out. We donated our books to the local library. They were so grateful for the books especially the kid's books and public libraries can give you a tax write off receipt. As for that mass picture pile. That was a major hurdle for me. I just hated letting them go so I sent mine to a lady who does document and photo organizing. I put all my photos in a flat rate box and about 2 weeks later I got a USB back with all my photographs scanned to it. Best $150 I spent. It may seem like a steep price but I tried scanning them myself and after about 10 pictures wanted to set the box on fire lol it was so frustrating! I also sent her some special cards I wanted to save etc. Anything paper and she had options to buy extra USB's, CD's, etc. I purchased two extras for my brothers so that we all had copies of the old family photos. I HIGHLY recommend it and her if you need a referral. She shreds everything for you once you confirm you have received the USB. My husband was like, "She probably keeps all the photos" I was like, "to do what? Please tell me what she benefits she gets from keeping a picture of my father from the '60s with his beer hat on and out of control shaggy hair!" lol More power to her! Eek!
I've gone through and got rid of every single thing we dont use in our home already (before babe was born- had lots of free time lol) but you've inspired me and make me want to do it again!
I relate to Katie so much... "Dude, seriously when did we go to Olive Garden?" THAT! Would totally be me lol and i have a horrible habit of dumping stuff in our garage and not dealing with it so it's likely my nightmare area too x
That was freaking amazing guys , there is a ginormous demographic for these types of videos. I personally love them 💙💚 It’s truly a gift to the family to have an orderly environment, in my opinion.
I'm looking for a double stroller that my 4 year old can ride in. How much does Gaines weigh? Do you know the max weight limit for your double stroller? Also would you do a video of how you put bows in Gaines hair please?!?!
This was super inspiring!! My husband and I made a huge dent in organizing our garage this weekend! He still needs to go through all the tools and tool boxes that he has (with my help to organize)... but I finally have room to park my car! Yay!
Amazingly done! You have a lovely attitude and you feel so down to earth, I love it! I have been kinda dragging my feet about doing a massive decluttering thing, and I just finished up a "staycation" which I had wanted to use to really got at, but I only cleaned up two rooms and the front room, alas. You're inspiring though, and I love seeing that having to start and stop for life-stuff is not the end of the world. Gonna go tackle my clothes now!
Lol! I love how Emma is ALWAYS in the vlog!! She’s so adorable! Cullen is such a great supporter! Way to go Katie!!! I’m proud of you!! The garage looks great! 💕
Looks great!!! I’m the say way when you get a bunch of boxes full of little things like photos and papers and little odds and ends and have no idea what to do with it.
I get overwhelmed too Katie. I just put donate immediately in my car, then as soon as it was full I ran a trip. It makes it take longer but it’s nice to have that space while you work.
We have a basket beside the door leading to the garage for that exact purpose. I toss the donate stuff in it throughout the week and then pick it up as I pass it going to the car. It has helped a ton.
Great job looks awnsome were doing our garage as well Katie keep doing what your doing you look great & l know you have to feel lots better l myself have also lost 20 pounds this passed year you go Gurl
Great job! What a transformation! What did you end up doing with the big blue and white inflatable pool? I have an inflated one in my garage that my daughter used last summer. She only used it a few times in the yard and then kind of ignored it. I doubt that she will use it this summer so I am wanting to get rid of it, but I dont want to sit and take the time to deflate it :( Keep the great videos coming!
Look at you go guys! I have to admit I died laughing at the olive garden bag, I think you may have had it when you went to Kelley and Jay's for a birthday party? For the riding toys could you rig something up so they hang from the ceiling or the wall? then they are not on the ground or by the car.
Loved this. Great work!! I have the hardest time getting rid of ANY card/letters. It’s ridiculous it I just can’t bring myself to throw them out. The guilt is real!! Haha
You will notice a big difference in the condition of your car once you are able to start parking in the garage. It really helps with the wear and tear (paint). My car is garaged every day
So my dad just sold his house so I had to get my storage out of his garage. 👀 I ended up getting rid of the majority of it... I didn't realize I was a pack rat until then 😂. One tote automatically went in the garbage. It had tons of baby stuff (mine) in it BUT something got in and everything was damaged/moldy.
KatieOnTheFlipSide Definitely not! We are still working on things as well. It is a long process, but every time something is completed it feels amazing!
IMO all the toys that were in the garage the kids havent played with them for awhile so they really dont miss them , therefore you should donate them aswell. Simplify our lives
These videos you do of konmari are like my version of ASMR lol I love ❤️ it !!!!
Love seeing massive declutters like this!well done Katie and Cullen!
I’m not sure what looks better, you or the garage! Awesome Katie!!!!

Only half of Katie showed up to help 🤣🤣🤣 Dang girl you looking good.. Kudos to you Katie.
Can't wait to see the other garage 😬😳
Araceli Polendo I thought of that too!!!!
Will you do a video on the way this process has impacted/changed your financial habits?

Love decluttering videos! Thank you for sharing! The colossal size of American homes never ceases to amaze me though (I'm in Ireland)
What a transformation! You are so inspiring, Katie.
It looks good Katie !!!!! 👏👏👏

I started to do the konmari Climbin meant it on my kids closet and drawers all because I saw your first video of you doing your kids clothes
I've gone through and got rid of every single thing we dont use in our home already (before babe was born- had lots of free time lol) but you've inspired me and make me want to do it again!
I stayed till the end! :-) now I'm sitting here looking at my bedroom thinking....
Holy moly! You are on a major roll Katie.
Your looking so lovely Katie well done so glad your life is improving with all the decluttering
I relate to Katie so much... "Dude, seriously when did we go to Olive Garden?" THAT! Would totally be me lol and i have a horrible habit of dumping stuff in our garage and not dealing with it so it's likely my nightmare area too x
You seriously look amazing Katie! And you guys are doing such a good job keeping up with this, I bet it feels great!
Hi! I've been listening to/watching your videos as I konmari my own stuff. Really helps. Thanks for helping keep me motivated!!!!

That was freaking amazing guys , there is a ginormous demographic for these types of videos. I personally love them 💙💚
It’s truly a gift to the family to have an orderly environment, in my opinion.
What did you do with the box of returns?
LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Yay for more decluttering!! I love your videos!
Not seen you for a while, you look stunning and so full of positivity! Awesome!
I'm looking for a double stroller that my 4 year old can ride in. How much does Gaines weigh? Do you know the max weight limit for your double stroller? Also would you do a video of how you put bows in Gaines hair please?!?!
You guys did an awesome job! Way to stick to the plan. You both look so healthy and happy.💕
Looks great! But, girl.. you look AMAZING!! keep up the good work..
What an accomplishment! So amazing girl !!
This was super inspiring!! My husband and I made a huge dent in organizing our garage this weekend! He still needs to go through all the tools and tool boxes that he has (with my help to organize)... but I finally have room to park my car! Yay!
Yasss, so excited for more of the decluttering series!
Katie!! Holy moly momma! You look amazing! Cullen you look good as well!!This new lifestyle is working for you!! ❤️❤️

Lol! I love how Emma is ALWAYS in the vlog!! She’s so adorable! Cullen is such a great supporter! Way to go Katie!!! I’m proud of you!! The garage looks great! 💕
Katie you look amazing!
you know they are Americans when she says "it's not a huge garage" and compared to your French one it is huuuuge ahaha! Anyway great job!
Great job Katie!
I'm glad Emma was in the keep pile!
🤣🤣 I didn’t even notice that!
@@KatieOnTheFlipSide what was funny is she stayed right there. She wasn't going to be accidently donated 😂
Your garage looks amazing.
Check out the Rubbermaid Fasttracks, they're amazing. You can hang up the kids outdoor toys or the household stuff. I really love the versatility.
Wow! Amazing! I love watching these vlogs!
Great job. The garage looks nice and clean. Plenty of space for your car.
Y’all did awesome!
You are looking great! Go girl!
it looks so good! its so satisfying to see the beginning to end
It looks so awesome!!! Now I gotta go clean and re organize my garage! 😊
Wow! It looks so clean now. I can't wait to see how you organize your photos and does your other garage look just as good?
Looks good
You did amazing!!! Such a satisfying transformation!
Looks great!!! I’m the say way when you get a bunch of boxes full of little things like photos and papers and little odds and ends and have no idea what to do with it.
Katie, I'm so happy for you! I know the garage was a source of stress and frustration! Love these videos 💜
I get overwhelmed too Katie. I just put donate immediately in my car, then as soon as it was full I ran a trip. It makes it take longer but it’s nice to have that space while you work.
We have a basket beside the door leading to the garage for that exact purpose. I toss the donate stuff in it throughout the week and then pick it up as I pass it going to the car. It has helped a ton.
It turned out so nice!!
Can’t wait to see that tub in the new bathroom lol
Wow great Job!!! I need to hit my hot mess basement.
I love these videos!! Good for you guys, you have been working so hard! ❤️
Wow! what a difference this made... quite the detour from what you intended, but great job!!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼So awesome!
Good thing Emma was in the keep pile! 😎👍
It looks GREAT!!!
Your garage looks awesome. You look and sound amazing
I can’t tell if I’m more impressed by the original mess or the transformation!?!
Great job looks awnsome were doing our garage as well Katie keep doing what your doing you look great & l know you have to feel lots better l myself have also lost 20 pounds this passed year you go Gurl
Looks great! A suggestion, could you get a shed to hold all the outside toys and such.
Great work. You did an amazing job.
Love these videos
Katie you look amazing!!
Great job! What a transformation! What did you end up doing with the big blue and white inflatable pool? I have an inflated one in my garage that my daughter used last summer.

I doubt that she will use it this summer so I am wanting to get rid of it, but I dont want to sit and take the time to deflate it :( Keep the great videos coming!
You did an awesome job, and your looking amazing!
Looks soo good!!! Your doing such a great job!!! Love watching your decluttering videos ❤️❤️❤️

The stapler clip 😂😂 made me Laugh to hard at 12:12 at night
Omg!! So jealous!!
Wow the end result is amazing!!! Great job guys!!!❤️✨
Katie, you look awesome!! I didn’t recognize you in the thumbnail, I thought you were your sister 😆
Look at you go guys! I have to admit I died laughing at the olive garden bag, I think you may have had it when you went to Kelley and Jay's for a birthday party? For the riding toys could you rig something up so they hang from the ceiling or the wall? then they are not on the ground or by the car.
Love these konmari videos you do! Super motivating! Thanks girl!
I want to do this to ours. There is only a small walk way about a foot wide. Everything else is storage/junk/stuff we have no where to put😩
Loved this. Great work!! I have the hardest time getting rid of ANY card/letters. It’s ridiculous it I just can’t bring myself to throw them out. The guilt is real!! Haha
Omg you have like 50 of those old Christmas photos of you, Cullen and the animals, I'll be here if you need to get rid of some😂
Katie what nail color are you wearing?
Wow girl you looks so beautiful. Just want you to know we see how hard your working. Great progress
You will notice a big difference in the condition of your car once you are able to start parking in the garage. It really helps with the wear and tear (paint). My car is garaged every day
Katie you’re really looking good, you can real tell in this video how much you’ve lost! Keep it up you look great
So my dad just sold his house so I had to get my storage out of his garage. 👀 I ended up getting rid of the majority of it... I didn't realize I was a pack rat until then 😂. One tote automatically went in the garbage. It had tons of baby stuff (mine) in it BUT something got in and everything was damaged/moldy.
Our garage looks similar too. Heck, I found a box of shoes in the garage six YEARS after we moved in!
I’m glad we’re not alone!! 🙈
KatieOnTheFlipSide Definitely not! We are still working on things as well. It is a long process, but every time something is completed it feels amazing!
LOVE it!!! I'm inspired to start on mine now... which is easily ten times worse that yours
FIRST!
😱🙌🏼😘
😂😂😂😂😂😂
**stomps feet** Not Fair!! 😂
BUT THE TUB! 😍🛁
Plant flowers in the old wheel barrow!
Who else is folding clothes the Konmari way as you watch the video?
IMO all the toys that were in the garage the kids havent played with them for awhile so they really dont miss them , therefore you should donate them aswell. Simplify our lives
You’re doing an amazing job!!!
We buy fresh sunscreen every year.
Me too since I was told that sunscreen starts to lose its effect after one year.
