Well done, you both did a great job! 👏😀 And I laughed at the car...you definitely get Mega March Motivation bonus points for that! 😅
Thanks Diane! I know Caroline is so glad to have that car out of the way!
I sure am. If it worked that would be different 😂
That is sooo true. 9:39 I had a TON (probably actual ton) of fabric and knitting supplies accumulated since my teens. I do see how I didn't like to sew (my fav) anymore, too many options, too many backups -just in case, too many everything. Once I got rid of boxes and totes and tubs and large garbage bags of stuff that I could never use in my lifetime, I felt so much peace and have been able to do several projects!! Enjoyed your video!!
It's awesome that you were able to get back to a "zen" crafting place Bella! I think the overwhelm of the supplies was probably one of the reasons I moved away from physical crafts (like crocheting and sewing) into more digital creativity like blogging and vlogging. I have definitely felt the burden of the supplies steal my creativity in the past too but I never really thought about it like that until Caroline shared this! -Leah
We’ve been a one car family for over 5 years and it is totally worth it. We have had only 3-4 instances where we had to get real creative to manage being in two places at once.
I know it works great for some people! There are a ton of benefits and financial savings, too. Thanks so much for watching!
Darn it!! Send the note after you text the pic!
I know right? This reminded me of a few years ago when I found dozens and dozens of thank you notes for baby shower gifts from my twins. I had gone into labor the day after my shower (six weeks early). I had written all the notes and failed to mail them and they were like 9 years old at that point. I was felt so awful! -Leah
You guys, I checked and it was a housewarming thank you note 😩 we moved almost three years ago!
💜🌞💜
Thanks for watching Eileen!
Your intro music is so loud it damaged my speakers
Ooops sorry! Still learning to edit.
@@TheSimplicitySisters Thanks for replying and being willing to hear feedback!
@@infopubs Caroline edited the Organization one and it's better. I need to take a course on sound/video editing. It's just hard to find the time to learn all the skills at once and keep putting out content! -Leah
Talk way to much don’t do much
Thanks for stopping by, Connie. Seems like we’re not your style 👍🏻
A video about the art stuff would be great!
Thanks Cecilie we will definitely put that on our list and start working on it!
Awesome video! Really enjoyed it. 😊 So glad to have found you on the Minimalist youtuber fb group! Can't wait to watch more of your videos. We are actually a minimalist family, currently traveling the world.
That's so amazing, I know people will love to watch your story! Thanks for checking out our channel!
Most people don't know that coffee is extremely inflammatory just like sugar.
I have heard it but I’ll take the good with the bad in this case 😅
Very nice collab, also the Clutterfree January with the Minimal Mom. I would really like to join the collab when there is a new one, do you know how I can do this? Thank you so much. Greetings from The Netherlands, Lucinda
Oooh thanks for joining us from the Netherlands! I think you will need to contact the Minimal Mom through her TH-cam channel to ask about the next collab! Good luck!
@@TheSimplicitySisters thanks for your reply!!
Great job! I enjoyed the back and forth format of this video! 🤗
Thank you so much! We’d like to do more this way.
That happened to me with scrapbooking. My mom started buying me all kinds of stuff and I allowed it to get completely out of control. Now I hate scrapbooking because I view it as supper messy and not fun anymore.
I had several broken pyrex lids but I use them all the time so I went online (mostly Amazon) and they have replacement lids. I bought several and matched the color to my kitchen which was fun. The only tricky thing was making sure it was a pyrex dish as I had a few very similar Anchor Hocking which seem to be the same size but fit the lids differently. Anyway, if you'd like to keep the pyrex, that is one way to do it. (but if you don't need it, someone can buy it at the thrift store and still get a lid, haha :) )
Ooooh really? Since those donations are still in my car that is an awesome tip. Thanks so much for letting me know and I'm going to check it out right now!
Caroline, I hope that you take into account that your art is therapy and may help you cope with your very busy mom-life. If what you were doing before is "too much" for right now, look for a way to incorporate a "just right" amount in your day. I just watched a video by Emma Lefevre who is a watercolor artist with a TH-cam channel where she talks about the importance of her art to her mental health. I know this is an easier said than done thing and I need to take my own advice. I need to take time for my own creative activities. Enjoyed your video! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Rosemary, good point! Yes, I do still do art but usually it’s with the kids now, and it does look different. That’s okay! And I have so many creative loves that it’s hard to have time for all of them! I still have that great American novel I’m planning 😉
That intro was super loud compared to your voice!
Sorry! Still working on editing basics.
@@TheSimplicitySisters no worries! I figured you'd appreciate the feedback 🙂
@@itoshiibaka8267 I do, thank you!!
We are also minimizing our family’s second car on Friday and giving it to my stepson- I could only do this after many many months of decluttering with @TheMinimalMom ! It feels good! What a relief.
Good for you and awesome that your stepson can use it even more. @TheMinimalMom has such incredible tips I am amazed every time I learn something new from her! ❤️
Decluttering Andis dog clippers??? No!!! Say it ain't so.
No just the empty box! We always save them for awhile to make sure something works and everything. Those clippers are great! 👍 kudos to my husband for learning to groom our bernedoodle, he is saving us a ton of $!
I spy, with my little eye, a Berkey water filter! Love Berkey! Got the Travel for Christmas and it has made such a difference.
So funny...it’s actually an Alexapure because I got a crazy good deal on it and then I replaced it with Berkey Filters! Either way you are right and I love love love the water!
@@TheSimplicitySisters For some reason, where I live, they put a ton of chlorine in the water, and even more so in the winter, so I have to put it through the filter in order to drink it, otherwise it's like drinking pool water. I use the sport bottle on trips, and my mom couldn't believe the difference it made in the water taste at one of the places we stayed - apparently, the water there was so bad that even with just one swig she almost spit it out, but when put through my water bottle it tasted perfectly fine.
We are definitely spoiled to the delicious clean water! I love the idea of a filter bottle for traveling that is such a good idea
@@TheSimplicitySisters The blue sport bottle that Berkey sells was my intro to Berkey, and I haven't looked back since.
I am going to check it out, thank you! Would be great for me at work also. I start with fresh filtered from home but refill from the faucet throughout the day.
Good decluttering
Thank you!
You guys are sure pretty. Way to declutter!
Awww so sweet thank you! Can’t wait to get some more organizing done!
New Subscribber!
Thank you so much for coming by and for your support! 🥰
You are right about ART supplies. I scrapbook and don't have as much as others...I make basic pages - meaning Pictures and Journaling is the most important part of Scrapbooking
It’s hard to keep it under wraps but if you are actually doing the scrapbooking what a great hobby! I know a lot of people who just collect the supplies and I was one of them for awhile! So many fun stickers!
@@TheSimplicitySisters , specifically Caroline, in which of Dana's book does she talk about the hobby supplies? That really resonates with me too -- and I like the way you talk about art journaling..sounds like a potentially doable form for me at some point too :) Thanks for a *motivating* video!
Karen, I have a question. I don't scrapbook, but have just decluttered photos (17 albums and many boxes into 3 albums) and am having trouble with photos sliding out of album pages. Any suggestions that are archival/photo safe and will still allow me to re-arrange if I need to?
@Saforra99 this is Leah but Caroline said she isn’t totally sure which one because she read them back to back: either decluttering at the speed of life or how to declutter your life without losing your mind...I will try to figure out which one. Now I can’t remember which one I read and I would like to read the other!
@@TheSimplicitySisters No worries ;) I now have Decluttering at the Speed of Life reserved at the library -- looking forward to it!
I loved this and Spider-Man gave me a good laugh. It was so cute when your son asked the dog which stuffy to declutter. 😂💕
You ladies did great!
Thanks Mariana! I will tell him you liked that part. If I am being honest we let her keep both toys! 🤣
She’s way more spoiled than my kids!
@@TheSimplicitySisters 😂😂😂
Great video
Thanks SO much Carie! We are so excited to be on this playlist. :-)
I think Caroline is really a maximalist, my opinion due to the number of coffee makers. LOL Seriously, you both brought smiles to this Granny.
Haha I know right? She was a barista for awhile and they are both dedicated to making delicious coffee. Thank you so much for watching and your comment made me smile too! 😃
😂 this is hilarious and you are so right! Thanks for the laugh -Caroline
