If you redecorate, don't keep what you replaced. Give nice items to your kids(make sure they want them, lol!), or donate them. You probably won't use them again.
We ended up moving out of state and holy cow, did I minimize !! I had so many cook books and cooking magazines .. had them for years - DVDs and CDs , sold a lot online but donated a lot of stuff .. old books, decorations, etc.. sad it took me moving to do this , but so glad I did ! Thanks for this video !! Great ideas and so fun as always ! Just donate or recycle or toss - trust me- you won’t miss it !! I had a friend tell me to take a picture if something was sentimental, that way you have it . Lol I had a lot of old license plates too !! Love your videos !!! ❤️
If your appliance manuals are not online and you need to keep them, at least remove the sections that are in a foreign language! I reduced the pile to almost half with this one change. Great ideas and reminders ... thank you!
That's a wonderful idea. I do like having the hard copy, rather than depending on the computer, but getting rid of the 3 other foreign languages would make a huge difference. Thanks.
I just had to comment on the getting rid of (not knowing a better term, prom dresses.) I still have every one of my daughter's prom dresses, plus her homecoming queen dress, that I absolutely know that I don't need but it gives me comfort to look at them any time I want. It brings back memories of her as she was killed in a car accident at age 21, now 20 years ago.
We have been using wrapping paper that we bought on clearance from 3years ago. We have a cheer session when we finish up a roll! Great idea on the planners! I have a few to get rid of
I cut off the front of the card and use for gift tags the next year! Some cookbooks are sentimental.I agree with magazines, movies & planners, recycle! Great idea with the wrapping paper.
I did a lot of these already and yesterday threw out at least 20 lbs of expired food. Also yesterday I schlepped 10 years worth of old Christmas cards to the dumpster. I am very sentimental.
I have a container with old cards and letters from the 70's many memories, baby shower cards, holiday, etc. I love it. Before Covid I would have said to donate your magazines to nursing homes for the residents. You'd be surprised how in need many of those places are, and books too. My friend and I switched left over new Christmas cards" for next Christmas, Also a good time to switch wrapping paper too, great idea for the garment bag/wrapping paper. Remotes can be donated to thrift stores Bird house roof =license plates 😊
As a nurse I can tell you that medications are good way beyond their expiration dates. The worse that happens is the strength may ebb as time goes by. But, pharmaceutical companies love for you to throw stuff out......big money. Same with expired food, to a point. There is good info on this online.
That’s my favorite movie too .💕💕💕 I just bought Jane Austen books all collection, and now I’m picking the movie from each book I like to put my DVD collection
This was excellent! I have had items from 1972 in my medicine cabinet! Good way to deal with old paint is to open and pour in kitty litter and let it soak up and dry up before throwing away.
Loved this video, I could really relate ❗️I have also kept most of the things you talked about. Thank you for giving me the desire to get ride of all this stuff.😊 I watched the video when you told us that both you and Jason are Born Again Believers.👏👏👏 I am to and I was so excited to here that you both know the Lord.❗️Prayers for you both🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another good tip for things you want to keep the memory associated with the item is to take a photo of it. That is what photos are for is for memories, so take a picture of that greeting card etc.... It helps with the guilt associated with decluttering items that hold meaning.
BRILLIANT Video Guys ! I try and use whats in my food cupboard & freezer before I buy more. Simply by planning meals better. When kids little I always did it when we had a lot of bills, but now its more before useby dates are up. Cook that pkt of cake mix ! If you dont eat freeze in slices.
I HATE tangled wire hangers, but my husband might need to leave town before I get rid of more of them. On the other hand, my mother passed away several years ago. I love looking at some of her old planners! I do keep my wrapping paper, but I love your storage idea. WIN WIN - I didn't buy any wrapping paper this year AT ALL because I could find it. The church is having a garage sale next month. Time to get BUSY.
Before throwing out a planner, look through it and see if anything should migrate to the next year. Also, ask yourself if it is a time capsule of the past year. I have several from college in the 1980s as well as some from the 1990s, and love looking through them as it brings back incredible memories of people, places, and events.
Great list! Planners are a keeper or at least a lot of the pages are keepers since they are a record of doctor's appointments, meetings, weddings, etc. Relying on things being on line is a problem too. Don't trust technology with things you need.
I love this! I actually stopped the video twice to go and throw away my old spices and small kitchen appliances that we never use. Thanks for the motivation!
Oh my goodness I think I have just about everything you named!! Bahahaha Except I definitely can’t get rid of those craft supplies!! You never know when I might need that piece of felt!! 😜 I do have a tendency to hang on to too much stuff. I really do need to declutter.....some day! 🤣
I'm going to start with my winter clothes - sweaters, etc since they are collecting them locally until the end of January. I'm also attacking my sewing room since it is the catch-all room.
I hate storing Christmas wrapping paper every year, but also feel guilty getting rid of it because I paid money for it. This year I decided the extra space is more important than the few bucks I spent on paper and bows. So I put it for free on our local marketplace site and it was snatched up within seconds. Turned out to be a young mom I know:)
Two tips, chargers get sticky labels with what it goes too. Also back of tv, labels and before you unplug things take a photo of how it was. Battery operated vacuums, buy a spare so you don’t have to wait on charge. Manuals, if it is online, bookmark it,p or email the link to yourself with description of appliance, etc. I am in the process of scanning my photos and putting in online folders, backing up on CD and store one copy with family or bank safety deposit box. If you have a lot of jewelry necklaces and like certain lengths. Slide pendant off and sell extra chains, just did that for $1,900 and I can just use chains I like for pendants. All I can think of right now.
After Christmas, our guest room exploded with leftover wrapping, bows, new gifts, and who knows what else lurks underneath the pile! 😬. You’re video motivated me to get cracking with cleaning and organizing! Loved the garment bag/wrapping paper idea, genius! Recently, my siblings moved after over 20 years in their house. You don’t wanna hear or see all they had to go through!! I just have to share this one funny story: my big sis, an avid recipe collector par excellence came across a note she had made to herself (in the middle of the recipe pile) while trying to de clutter. It read, “Left off here. June 2009”! 🤣😂🤣. Good news: she chucked all of them!!
I had to chuckle a bit when I saw the title of this video with Jason in the shot. Made me think Jason was either one of or possibly the first thing to get rid of in 2121!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can find wooden, velvet, plastic...any kind of hangers at Goodwill or other thrift stores for a fraction of regulars stores. Always check there first!
License Plates some DMV's takie them back, or offer them up for free on FB for crafters. Specialized appliances can go to goodwill if they still work. Wire hangers can often be recycled or taken back to the dry cleaners or used by crafters. Expired makeup, check the companies webpages, some have recycling. ReCycle, Reuse, Reduce!! Small size condiments, don't bring them home to begin with. I tell them exactly what I need. Offer old games to crafters as well, Donate extra craft supplies to a teacher. Paint shops often take paint back, they have often have recycle programs! GREAT Times!! Thanks for sharing.
This was quite fun! I felt like I was touring my own house! Another suggestion for getting rid of still good and usable small household items, toys, books, furniture is to put it on your curb with a sign "for free"! During this pandemic time, my neighborhood has been a treasure trove on our walks. We picked up perfectly good yard toys etc for our grandkids and even a huge outdoor garden chest for our outdoor pillows and seat cushions. It's been amazing what people have been getting rid of! Stay well!
I donate to our local battered women shelter. The women need nice clothes to attend job interviews, they need household items to set up their new homes etc, toys for the children. They don't accept certain items but are SO grateful for everything!
My aunt had an addiction to a shopping network and I have soooo many specialty appliances that are unused! I always think maybe I’ll use them but I never do! Also the plastic lids!!!! Ugh.
Get an IR blaster. I bought two. Only the USB C one worked. The one for mini jack did not. An IR blaster is so useful. A remote that died, or you're somewhere else and the remotes did a walkabout? You've got it! Mine lives in my adapter pouch that always goes with me when I travel.
I am feeling quite chuffed with myself, I have done most of your suggestions during lockdown, in the UK, so I am on top of it, I replied to your daughter’s comment, my loft is full of my children’s toys, the only thing I covet! Keep the Polly’s 😂. In the UK we have a website called Freecycle do you have similar in the US? you list anything unwanted on there, people respond and come to your home to collect them, great for unwanted larger items that still have life, cookers, carpets, bikes, cots, prams, sofas, beds etc, small household items too! I love it!!! Thank you both for your enthusiasm 😊
We have think we have Freecycle in the US too. We have online garage sales and trash to treasure online sites for each community. Your trash may be someone else's treasure, but that does not mean keep it until someone will take it.
You know you're good when folks WANT to declutter because they've watched your video! Excellent reminders as well as some "ahas"! Love the two of you together also. Blessings.
I LOVE your videos. They are so inspiring, and uplifting. You are an amazing decorator, and your style is in incredible. It’s fun to know you are also in the midwest, as we are. Thank you so much!
I love magazines also, but when I am finished reading them I take them to the Hospital waiting room because there is never magazines for ladies, or to my Dr. office. Now with Covid I will have to wait on that one.
OmG I hoard these things too Leslie! 🤦♀️ Glad I'm not alone. I keep these for same reasons. (I will need this one day) 😏 I started some of the decluttering, but have a long way to go. All the magazines & cookbooks I have is Crazy! Thank you for encouraging me & your inspiration on so much. Jason cracked me up when he was modeling those glasses... & @ the end of video. Those faces he makes .... had me Lol. Have a beautiful day you two!
Love your tips for decluttering! Jason cracks me up! We started in our garage three days ago. We went from 30 big totes down to 20, just Christmas stuff! We are big readers and have so many books. But I need to get rid of some, like cookbooks! We already go through our clothes and shoes every six months! My craft room is always a mess and need to do a major cleanup, throw out, or donate. God bless you both!💕👍🏻
I’m so glad I found you . Ty for raising awareness on the type of dementia your husband has and sharing with all of us . I pray for you and your family . The attitude you possess is amazing . And lastly , loved your declutter video . I’m basically very much like you when it comes to organization ( I’m a Virgo) lol looking forward to videos to come 🌻🌻🌻
Good catch Jason 😀 Like the wrapping paper storage idea! Jason has a great sense of humour...(business card LOL) I can see he’s kept you laughing through the years together. Ok... going to tear apart laundry room now for a good clear out! Thanks for the motivation!
Lost socks and rags make great fire starters if you have a wood fire. Magazines can be donated to a nursing home or Health clinic and Thrift shops sell them too. Kindergartens will take the fronts of old Christmas cards.
Great tips. I've been de-cluttering for several years now. I got back and do places again. I got my garage cleaned big time last October. I still have work to do out there, but wow it was amazing.
Guilty with the wrapping paper; and the socks without partners, and the magazines(so many I have not had time to read); I already got rid of the naked planner(I have no life....). Movies.....VHS are gone...except a couple that....I just can't. I am hooked on concert DVD's and I rewatch them a lot. I go through meds and toss and rebuy. I want to have it if I need it; time to do it again though. OMG....in 3 months.....the garage purge is happening here. I have a huge problem getting rid of some clothes. You can repurpose them, yet who really has a lot of time for that!
use old tooth brushes for brushing some things and contact your local rescue groups to see if they will use them for their animals, same with mascara brushes. And replace with bamboo tooth brush so you are not putting more plastic in the landfill.
I relate to your life in multiple ways. Tea Time; Pride and Prejudice (You must watch the long version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Elle); Military life; Traumatic Brain injury and more. I especially relate as a Christian with your laughter, frankness and love for the Lord and His plan! My husband is patient with me as he helps me through a brain injury I suffered 4 years ago. We face it with laughter and totally relate to your attitude in all aspects.
A good suggestion that I have when you get new electronics. And you have the charging cables use a silver marker and write exactly what the cable is to be used for, like a new camcorder canon written right on the charging cords.
Expired meds are often collected by local police departments, you can also ask your pharmacist about it. I wish they sold spices in smaller quantities, would be so much better.
Please check if a local library does a free magazine giveaway in its foyer. I’ve made hundreds of soldiers’ cards w photos & words from these free magazines. Your TEA magazines look gorgeous. Many women would enjoy them. Other places to donate them include thrift stores, consignment shops, & senior housing. Donating them takes the guilt away too.
I remember one year I bought some Christmas decoration and crafts because they were 75% off. I still don't even know what the craft items are used for. I would throw them away, but they are deep in the heart of my garage jungle. If I ever make it to the interior, I will definitely do some major weeding. I really enjoyed this video. You have some great ideas and a wonderful assistant to help you with your presentation!
I cut the front off of the Christmas cards that we receive and use them the next year as gift tags. =) That way I feel like I'm re-using them in a useful way. =)
As a home health RN, we always dump in Un-needed medications in a baggie with a 1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid... then top with kitty litter. Seal & put in trash.
What is the number one thing you love to declutter for the new year? I love hearing others ideas!! 😊👏
Number one decluttering for me, empty the dishwasher, and reload it!😘😘Nana Janet
If you redecorate, don't keep what you replaced. Give nice items to your kids(make sure they want them, lol!), or donate them. You probably won't use them again.
My 2 spare rooms that have become storage units. Time to purge!
We ended up moving out of state and holy cow, did I minimize !! I had so many cook books and cooking magazines .. had them for years - DVDs and CDs , sold a lot online but donated a lot of stuff .. old books, decorations, etc.. sad it took me moving to do this , but so glad I did ! Thanks for this video !! Great ideas and so fun as always ! Just donate or recycle or toss - trust me- you won’t miss it !! I had a friend tell me to take a picture if something was sentimental, that way you have it . Lol I had a lot of old license plates too !! Love your videos !!! ❤️
Love me some Marie Condo ! She helped me a lot ! You have also ! And you’re both so darn cute !!!❤️
If your appliance manuals are not online and you need to keep them, at least remove the sections that are in a foreign language! I reduced the pile to almost half with this one change. Great ideas and reminders ... thank you!
Great Idea!
Scan them onto your computer if you can.

This is an amazing idea. Ty

It brings back memories of her as she was killed in a car accident at age 21, now 20 years ago.
I"m so sorry for your loss 💖 that's definitely a good reason to hold on to them.
Jason, the one that spoke to me the most was the "old glasses"!
Omg! I LOVVEEE Pride and Prejudice..... and Mr. Darcy is soooooo swoon worthy.
We have been using wrapping paper that we bought on clearance from 3years ago. We have a cheer session when we finish up a roll! Great idea on the planners! I have a few to get rid of

Gift tags cute idea 😀
I did a lot of these already and yesterday threw out at least 20 lbs of expired food. Also yesterday I schlepped 10 years worth of old Christmas cards to the dumpster. I am very sentimental.
Love the lost sock display and decision to throw them out!
Pride and Prejudice (2005) is my favorite movie ever as well!!
I have a container with old cards and letters from the 70's many memories, baby shower cards, holiday, etc. I love it.
Before Covid I would have said to donate your magazines to nursing homes for the residents. You'd be surprised how in need many of those places are, and books too.
My friend and I switched left over new Christmas cards" for next Christmas, Also a good time to switch wrapping paper too, great idea for the garment bag/wrapping paper.
Remotes can be donated to thrift stores
Bird house roof =license plates 😊

I keep a small stash of wire hangers, for marshmallow roasting or just when you need 'wire' for something.
Did not know about paint, great to know it is good for 10 years.
Wrapping paper storage is a great idea.
I love that movie too. I watched it again recently.
Love Jason's helpful suggestions for disposing of paint!
That is my favorite movie also. Love Mr Darcy.
This was excellent! I have had items from 1972 in my medicine cabinet! Good way to deal with old paint is to open and pour in kitty litter and let it soak up and dry up before throwing away.

I do that, and it definitely helps get rid of things while keeping the memories.

Garment bag idea is good. I'm gonna use it.

Old metal license plates like the JA one can be collectible fyi.

Same here. Brings back memories 😃
I'm glad you guys are enjoying doing things together.
Great list! Planners are a keeper or at least a lot of the pages are keepers since they are a record of doctor's appointments, meetings, weddings, etc. Relying on things being on line is a problem too. Don't trust technology with things you need.
I love this! I actually stopped the video twice to go and throw away my old spices and small kitchen appliances that we never use. Thanks for the motivation!
That is awesome!
Great tips. Some of these are no brainers but ya know how that goes. We just keep over looking it.
Use single socks for dusting, rags etc.
I keep my wrapping paper in a new plastic garage can in the back of my coat closet along with my birthday paper :)
Oh my goodness I think I have just about everything you named!! Bahahaha Except I definitely can’t get rid of those craft supplies!! You never know when I might need that piece of felt!! 😜 I do have a tendency to hang on to too much stuff. I really do need to declutter.....some day! 🤣

I’m gonna keep watching but I’m so distracted by your gorgeous hair. 😃 Glorious. ❤️ Had to comment.
Haha I love it! 🥰 thank you!!!
Yes, she does have beautiful hair, doesn’t she?
I donate to our local battered women shelter. The women need nice clothes to attend job interviews, they need household items to set up their new homes etc, toys for the children. They don't accept certain items but are SO grateful for everything!
My aunt had an addiction to a shopping network and I have soooo many specialty appliances that are unused! I always think maybe I’ll use them but I never do! Also the plastic lids!!!! Ugh.
You can drop off magazines at your local library.
Thanks for tips!!
Get an IR blaster. I bought two. Only the USB C one worked. The one for mini jack did not. An IR blaster is so useful. A remote that died, or you're somewhere else and the remotes did a walkabout? You've got it! Mine lives in my adapter pouch that always goes with me when I travel.

@@kimberlyballes1161 My limit is a week, no takers, off to good will or recycling bin, when we are not in lockdown, that is 😊
So cute....a grandma
I ALWAYS DO THIS IN JANUARY.
Save holiday cards (with pictures or heartfelt notes) in a Manila envelope and mark Xmas 2020. I do this every year and I am a minimalist!! It works
I do this also.
I hold on to old chargers and cables as well as dead bulbs and batteries and drop them off at Best Buy. Staples will take some things as well.
You know you're good when folks WANT to declutter because they've watched your video! Excellent reminders as well as some "ahas"! Love the two of you together also. Blessings.
I like the way you did your hair today!, it is very pretty!!❤️😃
Thank you so much💖
Thanks for this video. So great your Hubby is so funny.
I NEED that lost sock basket!!!
Love how you made such a mundane topic so fun and entertaining! Now I want to go declutter. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍
Love you and Jason
I LOVE your videos. They are so inspiring, and uplifting. You are an amazing decorator, and your style is in incredible. It’s fun to know you are also in the midwest, as we are. Thank you so much!
Great tips! I need to get rid of paint cans for sure!
Very helpful, I’ve got some work to do!😁 You two are the cutest, always smiling and laughing 😘
Thank you! This is what I did all day before seeing this video. I feel so FREE!
Wonderful!
Your favorite movie is the same as mine!
I love magazines also, but when I am finished reading them I take them to the Hospital waiting room because there is never magazines for ladies, or to my Dr. office. Now with Covid I will have to wait on that one.
Remember Daylight Saving Time Change is a great reminder to ..Clean washing machine/Dishwasher..Or Change Battery in Smoke Detectors
OmG I hoard these things too Leslie! 🤦♀️ Glad I'm not alone. I keep these for same reasons.
(I will need this one day) 😏
I started some of the decluttering, but have a long way to go. All the magazines & cookbooks I have is Crazy! Thank you for encouraging me & your inspiration on so much.
Jason cracked me up when he was modeling those glasses...
& @ the end of video. Those faces he makes .... had me Lol.
Have a beautiful day you two!
LOL thank you!! He's so funny! When we are filming, I never have any idea what's about to come out of his mouth! 😂
Fantastic!!! Thank you for all the tips. Gonna do them one by one. Love you both.
That's awesome!!! Let me know how it goes! 💖
You two are great and so much fun to watch. Thanks for the tips.
Our pleasure!
OMG, my granddaughter just showed me one of the cereal things and said she was going to get one! My daughter and I were "NOOOOO"!
LOL not the cereal thing! 😂
Love your tips for decluttering! Jason cracks me up! We started in our garage three days ago. We went from 30 big totes down to 20, just Christmas stuff! We are big readers and have so many books. But I need to get rid of some, like cookbooks! We already go through our clothes and shoes every six months! My craft room is always a mess and need to do a major cleanup, throw out, or donate.

have work to do out there, but wow it was amazing.
Awesome video! I’m guilty of quite a few of these home clutters...is that a word?! 😬
consider giving some magazines to local nursing homes/schools for projects/assisted living. Same thing with movies.
We did our garage! I got motivation from your garage video. My son helped me.
That is awesome!
Change my sponge every week, my toothbrush every 3 months, yes, I can’t stand it! 😊
Thanks great video. Very helpful.
Great list! Great to see you both!
Guilty with the wrapping paper; and the socks without partners, and the magazines(so many I have not had time to read); I already got rid of the naked planner(I have no life....).

I want to have it if I need it; time to do it again though. OMG....in 3 months.....the garage purge is happening here. I have a huge problem getting rid of some clothes. You can repurpose them, yet who really has a lot of time for that!
use old tooth brushes for brushing some things and contact your local rescue groups to see if they will use them for their animals, same with mascara brushes. And replace with bamboo tooth brush so you are not putting more plastic in the landfill.
Great ideas as usual!
Good tips, thanks
AMAZING! I am making that whole dinner this weekend. Great job Jason 😍
I relate to your life in multiple ways. Tea Time; Pride and Prejudice (You must watch the long version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Elle); Military life; Traumatic Brain injury and more. I especially relate as a Christian with your laughter, frankness and love for the Lord and His plan! My husband is patient with me as he helps me through a brain injury I suffered 4 years ago. We face it with laughter and totally relate to your attitude in all aspects.
Paper crafters may enjoy using images from you fav magazine. Maybe donate those to thrift stores?
Thank you very much for the helpful video. You two are so cute! Best wishes to you!
You are now my favorite couple
😊💜
A good suggestion that I have when you get new electronics. And you have the charging cables use a silver marker and write exactly what the cable is to be used for, like a new camcorder canon written right on the charging cords.
Expired meds are often collected by local police departments, you can also ask your pharmacist about it. I wish they sold spices in smaller quantities, would be so much better.
Another good place to donate clothing and formals is to your community theatre for costumes
Please check if a local library does a free magazine giveaway in its foyer. I’ve made hundreds of soldiers’ cards w photos & words from these free magazines.
Your TEA magazines look gorgeous. Many women would enjoy them. Other places to donate them include thrift stores, consignment shops, & senior housing. Donating them takes the guilt away too.
I remember one year I bought some Christmas decoration and crafts because they were 75% off. I still don't even know what the craft items are used for. I would throw them away, but they are deep in the heart of my garage jungle. If I ever make it to the interior, I will definitely do some major weeding. I really enjoyed this video. You have some great ideas and a wonderful assistant to help you with your presentation!
Wrapping paper storage - Brilliant! I have calendars going back over ten years😬 I will now shred!
I cut the front off of the Christmas cards that we receive and use them the next year as gift tags. =) That way I feel like I'm re-using them in a useful way. =)
As a home health RN, we always dump in
Un-needed medications in a baggie with a 1/2 cup of dishwashing liquid... then top with kitty litter. Seal & put in trash.
No wire hangers.... Thank you... Mommy dearest.:). But vintage spices? Not long ago I parted with some that were my grandmother's.
Oh wow!
