    Messy to Minimal is my absolute favourite category of your videos. I've legit watched them one at a time more than once everytime i need to declutter 😊. Cannot wait for the new videos! Xxxx

    It is so lovely that you donate to animal shelters. I am trying to declutter a ton of stuff before I move next year (graduating college 😌) and this is so inspiring.

    I’m a teacher in a public school, and donations of winter gear are always welcome for families who can not provide any for their own children.

    Also been loving the messy to minimal content. Would love to see a bathroom declutter. We can store and hoard a lot of products we dont need. And its a perfect time to declutter before the new year.

    I'm so excited for the return of your Messy to Minimal series! This series was the reason I initially found your channel during the pandemic, and has been such a blessing to me! I'm so glad that you mentioned strengthening our decluttering "muscles". I am gaining confidence with each decluttering project, and hopeful that it become even easier with increased practice. Thank you for being an inspiration. 🙂 GOD bless you and your family this Christmas season!

    @mariasullivan7136 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I completely agree with you about the challenges of decluttering the kids’ toys 😩 I get so sad when we’ve clearly grown out of or moved on from certain categories and interests. This was so motivational - thank you!!

  • @johannathorisdottir2456
    @johannathorisdottir2456 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm already looking forward to my annual January decluttering! I started a major January household reset about 5 or 6 years ago (decluttering, cleaning, organizing) and it's the perfect way to welcome a new year :)

  • @samanthawolf2027
    @samanthawolf2027 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The fact that messy to minimal episodes were 3 years ago means I’ve been watching you for awhile! That’s so awesome! I can’t wait for the new series! It’s helped me also get my home in order as well!

  • @jamau251
    @jamau251 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    That would be fun to see some comparison clips (then & now) showing how your approach has changed or remained the same. Helpful for those in the beginning/early stages where it might seem overwhelming and encouraging for those who are farther into peeling back layers to keep up the process. Thanks for all that you share and a Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  • @eileenlehonnyberg1576
    @eileenlehonnyberg1576 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Tip for donating seasonal decor - date the box for a month or two before the holiday next year to take to the donation center and put a note on calendar. Yes, it will be in your house/storage but with a goal date to pass on.

  • @aliciaroquet9719
    @aliciaroquet9719 ปีที่แล้ว

    Currently decluttering the kids toys while I watch this. It’s so satisfying!!! But also hard. I can think of a bunch of ways to utilize a toy we’ve grown out of and then I start to overthink it but sometimes it’s just time to say goodbye. Thank you for the motivation!

  • @Cupcakemountian55
    @Cupcakemountian55 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just decluttered under my stairs watching this!! I need to work harder on this I hate clutter my kids and husband love to keep everything .. everything has a memory even a tiny piece of paper drives me nuts so I'm trying to work on this thru the process!! Love you channel

  • @lindagray8920
    @lindagray8920 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I absolutely love that you donate to an animal shelter. Also the “this ain’t my crap” basket is awesome 😂 I’ve watched you M to M series multiple times. We are gearing up to remodel in 2023 so I’m sure I’ll watch it again.

  • @olliepop9601
    @olliepop9601 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I think it's great that one woman and one channel out of all the other TH-camrs and channels that I'm subscribed to, is able to impact my lifestyle so much. I seriously have learned so much from you, Natalie, and you have taught me the joy and peace of living with functionality. 💛 Merry Christmas to you and yours! ⛄

  • @RohdeFam
    @RohdeFam 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    We have a “Mimi Basket” it is usually filled with things my mom has forgotten and her dishes from food she has shared with us. I love it because it gets it out of the way and I can just grab it the next visit. 💛

  • @lingling3334
    @lingling3334 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I been here since the beginning of the messy to minimal series and let me just say I am so excited for the upcoming series! I remember when you first started, and I commented on your video, saying something along the lines of “Thank you for being so real.” You showed us how your closet actually looked when compared to all the other ‘cleaning ladies on TH-cam’ never showed anything like that and it’s funny because now I’m seeing a lot more TH-camrs trying to be as real as you and I think it’s because of you that they started doing that. You are amazing and I’m always excited to watch you vids, thanks for everything girl

  • @bridgetteurbano1440

    We are in the middle of a full home renovation and all of our stuff is packed away. Thank the lord my husband now realizes he likes having less stuff in the house. So as we are unpacking soon I will be decluttering and I am so excited!

  • @BallroomJenni
    @BallroomJenni 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    @MomofTheo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really feel like the whole decluttering mindset really does take a level of planning and thought and it just strikes me as such a specific way to be good stewards of what God has given us. It's part of biblical stewardship really! I don't know why I never thought of it that way before. To find ways to reuse, pass on, take inventory of what we really need and what we don't and to be mindful in the process of just how these things have a purpose and a season and we can be thankful for them. Really a great way to worship and be good stewards of what God gives us. Thank you being such a great inspiration in that way!

    @Chell1496 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have loved watching your “messy to minimal” videos since three years ago. They inspire me as I watch them to try and get rid of stuff. I have a hard time of letting go of things since I am more of the sentimental type for everything or have a connection with it. 😬 Thanks Natalie for taking the time in your videos to show how this is done. ❣️

  • @MomofTheo
    @MomofTheo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My kids are 10, 9 and 7 and I still have trains and hot wheels! Haha. It seems like they don't lose their charm if they are "rotated" out or allowed to play with outside! For some reason trains and cars become magical again when I give my kids permission to play with them in the driveway haha. I've attempted to sell our train collection because it is huge but have never had bites. I've had grandmas encourage me to keep them if I have the space because they make great toys to pass down through the generations. Also... I usually pull them out when we have guests over who have little kids that enjoy them and I'm always glad I have a collection of things to entertain other people.

  • @kimberlylamitie2869

    💛I bought one of the wrapping paper keeper. It’s under the guest bedroom bed. Which I have to move around within the next few weeks. I had to move a nightstands out of my living room. That is where I’m putting my tree. Next I need my husband to get the ornaments and decorations from our shed. I need to declutter my whole house. I want to clean out a bottom cabinet for my stand mixer. And my husband wants me to clean out a top cupboard to use along with our pantry. I try to organize the pantry. But that lasts about a day. So I may do that after Christmas.

    Can I just say HOW excited I am for your new series? I tried watch the old messy to minimal and, how can I say it, I feel like we've both moved on since then. It almost feels like watching a different person! Looking forward to your reflections and insights now looking back. It's going to be such good motivation, and I'll definitely be doing my house along with you!
    Wishing you and the fam a very merry Christmas, love from London x

    So excited for your announcement, I too have been in our place coming up to 1 year. Except we went from a bigger place to a smaller one, so I have way more to donate. I have done it all year now but it's down to the nitry gritty now.
    So I need to go through ALL the categories again, clothing, kids toys, kitchen, linen etc

  • @gMalingo
    @gMalingo 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently started working from home 100% and I’ve struggled to adjust to having a home office that I actually like. I don’t want to just start putting stuff on walls and such but do want to have a space I enjoy that isn’t cluttered. I have an L shaped glass desk with no drawers which is hard bc I don’t have a lot of storage. I also split the home office as a toddler playroom where I store most toys in the closet but there’s space for play near my desk. I’m really trying to make it work but lots of toys and supplies out in the open…it’s not working. I look forward to your office video with great tips to make it look nice, practical and minimal. Thank you!
