- I've been avoiding this challenge for a LONG time... but I think it's time that I finally try out minimalism. 30 days of living with 4 plates, 5 shirts, and 2 coffee mugs may make me a little crazy, but in the end, will I come to enjoy the simplicity of it all? Or will my husband throw a bowl at me?
Well quit reading the description already and just watch the video and find out!!!!!!!

Dawn said in one of her videos that you were one of the few TH-camrs she watched on a regular basis. I love you… but, I thought WHAT A HUGE AND HIGH COMPLIMENT!! I’m so glad you did this video with her. You both are truly the most motivating and entertaining woman of TH-cam!!!
❤️❤️ thank you!!!!
Agreed!❤
They are indeed :D
YES! Huge compliment!!
Absolutely !
Love that you worked with Dawn on this! You’re both awesome, great video!
I believe at the beginning of this video these are clips cut from some of Dawns video. So cleverly done though!!
@@alexiamcbride7441I had the same thought! But I see someone else commented that Dawn sent an email about this video to her mailing list, so I think it’s a legit collab ✅ 🤷♀️
I love Dawn! This was a great collaboration!
The throw pillows! 😆 I love that Dawn can laugh at herself.
And the use of inventory!! That was what got me hooked
I watch everything Dawn creates and found this hilarious and exactly on point too. Well done!
Yes I laughed out loud at the throw pillow reference! Love Dawn so much!
I lost it at "I have THROW PILLOWS!"
This is the best Collab! I hope Dawn mentions it on her channel cause you totally deserve more subscribers!!!
I just an email from her telling me about this video! That's why I'm here 😊 So .... yes she mentioned her
Great! I low the awkward mum 😊
@@auntela yep I got the email and that’s why I’m here too lol
@@dianasimplifies welcome! you will love her
@@TrulyHighContrastArt I've actually watched her bf and she's hilarious. I love how huge her eyes get 😂
I laughed out loud at the stare down. Dawn got me started decluttering 3 plus years ago. You and she are like little sisters!
I'm learning lessons I wish I had known many years ago. (I'm 75 and a recent widow)
Keep helping me think and laugh!
Me too!😂
I’m a huge fan of The Minimal Mom…Dawn. She is smart, a good human, and an excellent communicator. Oh, and she is inspiring. I love your humor!
I love Dawn. She gives you guidelines, but you need to make it work with your own life. She has helped me considerably. My husband is a bit of a hoarder so I just go through my own things, but it truly has made a difference. Like you mentioned, she helps you work through the guilt of getting rid of stuff. I love that you two worked together on this, because I love you both!
I agree completely! She's helped me so much in just a couple of months.
You shouldn't be called the awkward mom, you should be called the hilarious mom! I love Dawn and minimalism but I can't take it down to such a small amount of stuff either!
yes, the Hilarious Mom! You ARE very funny and I enjoy your channel a lot. ty for putting it (all) out there
We are remodeling a 700 square foot cabin in Alaska and I am having a similar problem with my husband… I do love the minimalist lifestyle but I am also addicted to thrifting!!!!!
@@reneeguthrie2192 I love thrifting too! I think the key for me is to only thrift for things I need. Though I have a weakness for kids' books, admittedly.
Love this video! The throw pillow skit, and minimal rap is just the cherry on the cake. 🤣
So funny! Yes!😂
I love Dawn and she has helped me simplify a lot, but there’s no way I’m having 1 dish per person thereby making me hand wash dishes all day long. I’m a dishwasher girl all the way! I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff. But I’m not a total minimalist by any means. Loved this video!
We like to have about a day's worth of dishes in our cabinets. Enough to make it through the average day, but a small enough amount to still fit in the dishwasher.
I found that a days worth of dishes (1-3 meals for family of three) fits in the dishwasher so it's once a day washing, and it works out!
Exactly my thoughts. Love Dawn and her approach on stuff. I hear what she says but apply it in a way that suits our family. So we have 2 towels per person, 2 dishes, etc…To each their own
Same! Lol.
Me too, we have 10 plates so the dishwasher can do the work instead of me.
Awww, this is so fun! I heard Dawn in an interview say you’re one of the few channels she watches on TH-cam and it made me soooo happy to see this collaboration! 💕
Yes! That’s how I found the awkward mom!
@@rebeccahileman3954 same!!
Awww I do love Dawn! She has been life changing for me. The way you've put this video together with her is just brilliant and so funny. Two amazing youtubers!! 😍👏 X
That was great to see someone actually trying out Dawn’s minimal numbers. Dawn would approve of how you adapted the numbers at the end and still ended up with much less inventory than when you started.
Decluttering is a very pleasing hobby isn’t it 😃
I'm with you on adjusting limits to what works for you. Many folks act like minimalism is one-size-fits-all, but if you do it, it should work for YOU, not you working for it. You illustrated that perfectly. And I see you share a spatula infatuation with Frugal Fit Mom. 😂
Dishwashers actually save water! They use 4 gallons for each cycle. And running water uses 4 gallons for every 2 minutes. Or at least that's what it says on the back of our dishwasher soap pods...haha. so maybe you could run it after lunch too! Love that you collaborated with dawn on this! I love her! I recommend her channel to anyone decluttering!
What about the rinsing befor hand? Every one knows dishwashers just sanitize not really clean things
But they don't clean well. We have one where I work. I much rather wash by hand. Cleaner dishes.
Of course the dishwasher tablets tell you that dishwashers use less water. Not all of us fill our sinks to hand wash. Whatever works for you, do it. 😊 the point is don't get too worried. Hand wash or dish wash, just get those dishes clean and back in the cupboard.
@@ah5721 You shouldn't rinse before putting it in the dishwasher, only scrape the food off. As rinsing doesn't make your plates cleaner, it does the opposite. Detergents are designed to cling to food particles, without a surface to stick to, your dishes won’t get as squeaky clean. And with newer dishwashers, they won’t wash your dishes for very long if the sensors in the machine don’t detect much dirt in the water. Not only that, but rinsing also wastes a lot of water.
Dawn is the one who introduced me to minimalism. I didn't implement every single thing, but my house is so much easier to clean now and I just feel like I can breathe. It's wonderful!!
This is my favorite youtube collaboration I've ever seen. Two of my favorite channels ❤️
The Introducing of the Minimal mom is hilarious😂. Well done!
I am a big fan of both of you!
Greetings from Germany!
It definitely is not a one size fits all, I only have 1 fork/knife/bowl/plate/glass etc. BUT I have about 30 “tupperwares” because I meal prep weekly for 5 days of meals & snacks so I genuinely require that many, minimalism is about making it work for YOU. I’m low income so while there is only one toothpaste in my house at any one time, you better believe I have a backstock box in the garage with the extras when they were on offer
It doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to improve your life for the better to be worth it :)
So, the one thing I just can’t go along with with Dawn is putting the lids on the leftover containers and only keeping the number you can have with the lids on. I work outside the home and take my lunch every day. I cook only 2 to 3 times per week, and I use containers like that to store the food for my husband to eat when I am gone. At times, we use every single container I have. They are neatly nested in my cupboard with the lids conveniently stored to the side. I’ve had people comment on how neatly my leftover containers are stored, so I do not consider that cupboard to be cluttered.
I like how you took Dawn’s advice and adapted it to you! I enjoy your humor! It’s refreshing to have humor while searching for what home management things work!
Thank you💚
I love this Collab! The beginning was hilarious!!! Dawn and the pillows! 😅
I’m not a fan of minimalism, but I do think most of us benefit from decluttering. The impractical arbitrary hard limits aren’t for me. I want to do my laundry weekly- so I need at least 8 outfits. I want to do dishes daily- so I need multiple plates. When minimalism/reducing becomes an identity instead of a tool, then it’s probably hurting more than helping.
You just described minimalism. While I am not sure why this video put hard limits on things, most that I have read about is keeping what you NEED, USE and LOVE. If you need 8 outfits and wear them, then that is perfect. If you need an 8 piece setting rather than a 4...perfect. You find what works and what doesn't.
@@TruFlyFox it's because the minamilist mum puts hard limits. For example, one towel for person. Great in theory. What if you have guests coming every 3 months? Do you buy a new towel or 2, once and store it (money saving) or do you buy it, clean it, and donate it every 3 months (most agree a waste)
@Jan Spence the minimal mom is also clear to keep things you use occasionally, but not regularly, packed elsewhere.
So you keep extra things like towels and extra dishes packed in a box for when you do have company. Her point is keeping your inventory down in what you use daily to be able to manage your surroundings easier.
Im single/no kids and while minimal, i still have more than what Dawn suggests per person.
There is no "one size fits all" to be a minimalist:)
This ❤
that’s the great thing about what they call “minimialism” today. it’s not the hard fast one of these, one pot one pan one mixing bowl… etc. its more of a what works for you. that’s why she had the abundant amount of containers, mixing bowls, pans. today’s minimalism is more of a what works for your life, not necessarily a minimalist life but an efficient one ❤
Two of my favorite TH-camrs in one!! Dawn's idea of inventory to manage saved my sanity. I had the same reaction of getting addicted to decluttering and have had zero regrets and so much more peace ☺️
The straightened hair 😆🤣 too funny. This is great ! How did you know we were planning to start purging out our home today? The timing of this video is impeccable. My husband and I are so excited 😂
I've heard Dawn and Cas say how much they enjoy you and think you're funny. This was hilarious! Especially the throw pillows part!❤❤
Even though I watch Dawn, Dana & Cas, (FlyLady too) I think your video will push me to actually do a 30 day trial of minimalism. By the way, I LOVE your videos! And I’m also “creatively resourceful”. 😉
Lots of great observations with great humor. Your husband is such a good sport! Hiding under the counter talking like a bowl had me laughing out loud!
After retiring bc of my husband’s health issues and the pandemic hitting, I started watching Dawn, The Minimal Mom. Shortly after watching her I got inspired to declutter bc I was spending all day cleaning and just moving the same stuff from place to place. That said I have been decluttering for going on 3 years and constantly find things that are not necessary any longer!! Like you I have more of the dishes than Dawn suggests but have what I need and use on a regular basis. This has been sooo freeing and I have time for other things now like relaxing and my sewing hobby and Bible study!!! I has improved my quality of life!! Thanks for the video and sharing your journey so far!!
Well said!!
Loved the throw pillow gag
Me too. I actually LOL
From coffee struggles to dishwashing dilemmas, your 30 days challenge into minimalism had me wishing I could rap while I clean and declutter. Now, I am evaluating my own cluttered life. You've inspired me to reconsider giving it a shot to do some minimalism... after I finish my coffee, of course! 😄☕
Dawn is literally everywhere currently. And I am so grateful for it! I started minimizing my inventory with Dana, Cass and espespecialy Dawns help, and it already made such a huge difference. I went to my first flea market today, my car stuffed to the ceiling (and that wasn't even everything I decluttered), I earned a few bucks and most importantly, freedom and peace. This is just the beginning, and i can't wait to size down even more. Thank you for showing how well Dawns approach works, you did an amazing job ❤
I love the idea of a 30 day challenge. You can pack things away and determine what works and what doesn’t. My quess is that it’s unlikely that you would pull everything back out.
I often look at 1, 3, 7 or 10 when considering how many I need. Just 1? 3 = 1 to wash, 1 to wear, one to spare? 7 = 1 for each day of the week? 10 = cuz that’s how we count?? Doesn’t always work, but gives me a good starting point.
I agree with rule of 1, 3, 7 and 10 - my mum did that one and I've continue it where practical
Gurl! You're comedic content was so good! The writer/editor of your video is genius! Thank you for sharing minimalism with a sense of humor.
This collaboration is amazing!! I love Dawn and follow her.
Keep in mind, minimalism is different for everyone. I have many plates and bowls, but only 6 forks and knives (we are a family of 4) and about 14 tea spoons 😂
Its about making your life easier, that's different from one person to another.
👏👏👏 Great video! SO impressive that you did all that decluttering work with a baby! 🥳Two things I wanted to mention - I don’t think Dawn has a dishwasher, so having fewer plates, cups etc. probably means several mini-hand washing sessions rather than one marathon one after dinner. Also, when people give you hand-me-downs, try to go through them as they come in the door - you will likely find things that don’t suit your taste, are already too small, will be uncomfortable for your child, etc. (I sometimes saw hand-me-down clothes that were new, had been received as gifts and had buttons down the back, scratchy fabric, etc.) Be ruthless! It’s kind of people to give you hand-me-downs, but if they aren’t useful, donate them so they can bless someone else!
This is the collab I’ve been wanting!!!!
I enjoy both your content and sense of humor, so this is pure joy
Looks fantastic! I think decluttering regularly is the most helpful part for neatness, cleaning and a more calm, useful environment ❤ Numbers of inventory isn't anything I've attempted.
I love this! Your channel and Dawn's are both on my top list of "notify me" TH-cam bells! Dawn has always said "You do you" and I love that you used the challenge to totally figure out and tweak some changes that work for your unique home and family. And, man, I want some of that magic coffee!!
💗💗💗🤪💗
I feel the EXACT same way about Dawn and minimalism! My journey, and i suspect many others, was the EXACT experience: adjusting qtys to tailor it to my life. I also was excited to declutter all my additional spaces. Gives the same "high" as shopping used to be. You two are among my favorite channels.
Thank you The Awkward Mom and The Minimal Mom for this fun video about the 30-day experiment with minimalism. I found Dawn on youtube about six months ago and have been using her techniques for decluttering. I feel the same way. The more I declutter, the more I want to get declutter even more. In the process I have felt an awesome (freeing) mind shift where I want to live with less. I have a ways to go, but each time I get rid of stuff, it helps keep the momentum to get ride of more. Thanks to Dawn, I view everything in my home now as inventory, and I don't want anymore inventory. When I drive by the large new homes being built in my neighborhood, I have no envy. In fact I get a little dizzy thinking about all the inventory those homes will have in them and how much it will take to maintain. Been there, done that, wouldn't do it again. The kitchen is the area where I do have more than what is minimal. I have kept a lot of my plates and bowls. I like them. We use a lot of them regularly and they don't build up in the sink. I also have a lot of storage containers, but this video has given me the motivation to try the 30-day experiment with getting rid of at least half of them, plates and cups, too. With just my husband and I we have a lot of leftovers because we cook a lot at home, and we tend to eat different foods. We also cut up a lot of fruit and vegetables that go in containers, so we do use a lot of them. We now we have 11 in our refrigerator, 2 on the counter and a couple in the freezer. Most of that food gets eaten each week, and we clean out any old food on garbage night. The rest of the containers are organized (I keep all the lids on top of the stacked containers or on the side. It's a system that has worked well for me for years, but I'm open to new ideas and experimenting to really see how much I actually need. It's ok for each person to decide if there is an area of their home where they want a few more things (like Dawn and her throw pillows : ) as long as it's not stressing them out, and they enjoy the item/use it. Thanks again!
Loved today's video. I've been watching Dawn Dana and Cass. You are now in my top 5 most watched channels. I really like the way you breakdown of the week and your " Realism". Yep, realistic! Keep up the good work!
I love how all these ladies' go together...try "The Secret Slob" as well, she has good cleaning tips, too!
❤
Full on 'minimal' with dishes is a challenge for me. I like to have a few extra, in case of breakages, life, or visitors. That said, I halved my inventory of them last year and have not looked back.
Most relatable video ever! I’ve been following Dawn for a while, and I started right when I knew we were done having kids and I would not be returning to the office regularly. My wardrobe was overstuffed with so many sizes and office clothes, but as bad as my clothes were- my kids had 10x as many clothes from hand me downs and gifts. And we all use those diaper boxes for storing clothes! ❤
Diaper boxes are the best boxes!!!
My kids are 18 and 15, and I still have some things stored in diaper boxes!
I saw a video a bit ago about how when Dawn went out of town her husband pulled out more dishes too. I think what you have in your cupboards now is still fairly minimal, and you were definitely following Dana's theory about your cupboards being a container so you needed to let something go in order to comfortably fit the coffee. Good job!
School is out next week here in Tennessee! Some of my co workers are looking forward to beach vacays, amusement parks etc- i can hardly wait to stay home and Get Rid of all the stuff in my kitchen and closets and purge!!!! Ibam seriously looking so forward to it!! Thanks for this video!
I’m 63. I’ve been a “minimalist” from the day I had some free agency. My mom said I’d throw the furniture out if she didn’t stop me. I don’t believe in the counting method but the space method. Designate the space once the space is filled, then it’s one in one out.
I love Dawn, and I love that you admit to watching her videos!
"No, I'm Dawn! I have throw pillows!" 😆😆
I found her during the pandemic (2020) and after watching for a long time, got the courage to declutter. It is a work in progress, but I love this idea of a trial period.
By the way, I'm pretty sure your husband would say he NEEDS his beard stuff. lol.
I love how you take the various systems you’ve tried and find the points that work for you and your family.
The term "Clutter Threshold" is used by Dawn, Dana K White, and/or Cas from Clutterbug (the trifecta of home inventory management). It is the amount of stuff you can manage and it is different for different people. So, your okay with more plates, spatulas and towels. That still fits the definition of minimal living. So now we can call you the Awkward Minimal Mom -- LOL. Love your channel and your content.
I love Cass, especially because she shows imperfections and that you have to work at things - there is no magical fairy coming behind you to clean up and put away (but gosh darning, that would be nice haha)
I have a question for you, I have excess everything, but it seems like with so few clothes, dishes, and towels, you would be washing daily?? Is that what you do? I need help! 🤪
@@truthseeker9075 I’ve been doing this for a few years. I do laundry one day a week. I have enough clothes that I can make it through one week. I have two towels per person because I find one gets gross using it all week. I also have two sets of sheets for the kids, just in case. So I do one load of sheets, one load of towels. A light load and a dark load.
I have one place setting per person and two extra for guests. Same for glasses and silverware. Each person washes their own dishes after each meal. I have one of those little brushes in the ceramic dish that I keep filled with water and a tiny squirt of dish soap (which I change daily). It literally takes less than 1minute to wash, dry, and
put away the dishes.
Following Minimal Moms advice, yes, I have to wash after each meal, but I never have a huge stack of pans and storage containers because so don’t own a huge stack!
You can do this! Good luck❤
@@kathysaoed thank you! What you are doing makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the encouragement!
@@truthseeker9075 You’re welcome! I just thought of another positive about washing dishes after every meal-the food is still wet so it comes off more easily! No more dry crusty dishes, bowls, pans that need to soak first.
I love The Minimal Mom and her husband - they make me feel like I can do anything! Loved this video!
Great video. I did some of this years ago and am so grateful. My husband is a maximalist so it’s tricky. But I keep my personal stuff and most kitchen items to as little as possible. It really helps.
I am so impressed how you tackled this challenge! This was an excellent video - one of my all time favs. You are funny and witty. Really I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed and was inspired by this video!
This was a great way for those new to minimalism to have a starting point and to also see it in action. Love your sense of humor (and that Dawn played along) and you kept it real.
So happy to see two of my favs together!!! Great video!
From the very start it's the Collab I didn't know I needed in my life! 😆 ❤ Also, running the dishwasher with just those dishes will use less water than hand washing. Try plugging the sink while you hand wash to see how much water you're actually using. This has inspired me to try it when my ex finally moves out 😁
I always plug the sink. I rinse into the wash water and never use anywhere near as much water to hand wash and rinse as is claimed. I have never met anyone who doesn’t put the plug in the sink (or use a dishpan) when washing dishes by hand. This is a straw man argument by the dishwasher manufacturers.
@@thesender6321 agree
I keep less of some things so I can keep more other things. It depends on what you are in to. I have a lot of books and canning supplies. Whereas I am not really into clothes and accessories, so I am more minimalist on that stuff. There is no way I could do 1 dish and towel per person. Only running the dishwasher once a day and washing towels once a week, frees me up to do other things.
This was great! Two of my favorite you tube moms...together. Thank you!
This was so fun to watch! I’m thankful for the introduction from Dawn and I subscribed to your channel now!
Editing was superb! Love seeing you both!!
This was fantastic! Loved the collab with Dawn and how you're making it work for you!
This is amazing! Loved every minute of it and love both you and Dawn!
Love it! I laughed so hard!! I have watch and learned from Dawn for years!! ❤ I can’t wait to watch your next video! Thank you so much!!
This is my dream collaboration. I literally laughed so hard with the slow turn takeout!
Great video!!! Dawn is an amazing resource for simplifying life. Im glad you were able to get to a point that makes your life easier:)
Love this video!! Especially that you and Dawn did it together!! So fun!!
Yay! I love both of you so much and love that you collaborated on this video ❤
I find this video very interesting and informative. I liked the 30 day challenge and I will try it out. I have way too much and love how Dawn gives a number for the items. I just checked and have 31 towels for 2 people. Great video! Thank you Ariel and Dawn.
Dawn instead of Dana😅
@@ginabess619 thank you for the correction. I watch Dawn and Dana for decluttering and they are both amazing people filled with tips and tricks for decluttering and organizing our homes. Ariel I love watching her and can’t wait for her to come up with her own cleaning method. A little from here and there. She’s so much fun to watch and makes things seem effortless.
Deborah....Just wanted to let you know you can easily edit mistakes in any of your posts if you touch the 3 dots at the upper right. This has saved me major embarrassment more times than I can count. 😊 (It only can be done to one's own comments)
@@brendamaun5455 thank you. Old age is too be blamed, lol.
Loved this!! I have been watching Dawn, Dana, and Cas for over two years. I’m so slowly making progress. But your video gave me some new ideas for making progress more quickly. Most of all, I LOVE the humor you add to going minimalist. Thank you!
Yippee! I am so glad you did this series, I just knew it would be a big hit for you! You did a wonderful job with Dawn! I am sending it to people that I can’t get to understand minimalism because you did it in such a fun way. So happy for you ❤
You make the most entertaining educational mom videos! Great editing and humor. I loved your “talking stuff” scene the best.
Very inspiring fun video! What a treat to see Dawn do this with you!❤️
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Y’all are the best!! ❤
You have no idea how much I loved this video. You both have been my favorite TH-camrs for a year or so now, and you two collaborating has been my favorite thing ever!!
I just love your channel and your sense of humor. Love that you and The Minimal Mom, Dawn, are working together. Thanks
Awww this was just great 😂 two great women coming together with a splash of humor. Love it 🥰
You have inspired me! I love your videos and sense of humor! ♥️
Loveddd!!! Great video and your hubby participation in the video priceless 🙌
The best collab! ❤️ I’ve been following this channel this the beginning and am so excited about your channel growing and now this collab!
So awesome! I am a big fan of both of you! It's so great to see you together! Also, yes! I love minimalism so much! We are in matinance mode now and it's made such a big difference. Welcome to the club!
Love your sense of humor😆 and Dawn was so sweet to participate. I’m inspired
I enjoyed the laughs - been with Dawn for quite awhile, but always getting back to it, and this was inspirational.
I love when 2 of my favorite channels collaborate! 🎉 yay! Great video
Two of my favorite moms on TH-cam! Nice work! You did awesome! ❤
And your awesome too
Adorable! You both bring so much light & joy to weekend chore time
You girls are 2 of my favorites on you tube!! This video is so fun!! I’m going to take the 30 day challenge too, I’m committing here. Thank you for the printable Dawn! ❤
I love your trial videos! It’s so good to see a “normal” person try different systems before diving in. You always have practical feedback. And I love Dawn! Great collaboration!
My favorite video!! I love Dawn from the minimal mom! Great job! I'm striving towards minimalism 😊
Ah! Two of my favorite TH-camrs joining forces! That introduction to her was so epic! Love it 🤣🤣
Brilliant video. I love your sense of humour, especially the expressions on your face. 😀
I watch Dawn’s videos & also her twin sister, Diana’s & both inspire me so much.
Dawn from The Minimal Mom is one of my favorites!! I have been so motivated by her videos. I’m glad that you got to work together this was a fun video. Great job!!
I love this collaboration with Dawn. One of your best.
The Awkward Mom and The Minimal Mom?! The best idea for a collaboration ever! ❤ You are two of my favorites!
Dawn's is amazing, and this was so much fun to watch with the two of you! 😅 Great job!❤
Love your videos so much! Thank you for your content AND humor - I so needed this! I finally have the courage to start decluttering with this technique and you made it so fun and enjoyable! Much love!!😆💖🙏🤗💞
I love this collab so so much! When I first starting looking for housekeeping/homemaking videos 2 years ago, you were one of the first TH-camrs I found and followed and Dawn followed not long after. You both bring me so much joy and motivation! I'm working toward minimalism myself and I can't wait to get to the point where I feel like I can call myself a minimalist! Thanks for another fantastic video Ariel!
this is a fun collab! i enjoyed it so much! Dawn in my ear (earphones) while decluttering early in the morning while everybody still snoring is the one that got me thru most of my decluttering weeks before we moved outofstate especially the paper clutter that i have kept more than 20 years. it's not a one time thing tho as things creep in especially with young kids and husband not on board. but it's easier for me now. love Dawn and Clutterbug!
This makes me so happy! I love Dawn! Her TH-cam channel was a Godsend when my oldest was about 12-18 months old and my life was overrun with toys and felt out of control! This collab is so great! Well done ladies!
This was actually so helpful! I have followed Dawn for years but seeing you do it and hearing your experience made it easier to digest!
