decluttering *ALL* our toys & books ... Minimizing Our Home One Room At A Time // Ep. 02

“It’s gorgeous but it never gets played with” I finally went through all of our lovevery toys and wooden collection and put it in the donation pile. There are so many children who live in shelters who would adore these beautiful developmental toys.

In America there is something called Dolly Partons Imagination Library. Once you sign up they send your kid a new book every month for free until they turn 5. You never put in any payment information and it is not income based. They have to have a base in your area but look it up. It's amazing 👏

It’s so nice you have a whole room for their toys and a whole closet for their toy rotation.

I love that you let the kids chatter and play and continue to play or talk while you vlog. It helps us as watchers or parents ourselves to see that this is realistic! And it helps your children Im sure so much :) to not feel like all the fun is stopped when mummy has to turn on the camera. Love it!

This has been a very motivational video for me! I have 3 daughters ages 3 and under and the amount of toys we have accumulated is quite overwhelming. We try and be very thoughtful about things that we bring into our home, but it is definitely time to declutter. Sometimes I have a hard time getting rid of something that was a more pricey item, but there really is no need to hold onto it if my children aren’t playing with it!

These videos are some of my favourites! For someone like me who doesn’t like clutter, who likes organizing and decluttering my home I find these videos SO satisfying!! My head fills so much clearer when my home is not in shambles and cluttered up by random things/things that I haven’t used in over a year. I feel like I can breathe and I feel a lot calmer. Thank you, Delilah for this wonderful video 🤗

I love how you keep in the footage of your kids interrupting you. Real life!!

I still have to go through and donate my kids' clothing, toys, and books before Christmas. I do this before every major holiday, birthday, etc. to free up space for the new items and not have SO much to avoid feeling overwhelmed and stressed. It's extremely satisfying and something I look forward to. My oldest is 9, so she does this with me as well. It's great bonding time. This video made me even more motivated to get it all done. Thank you for sharing ❤️

My pregnant nesting self is very happy about this series haha

Removing the wooden tool bench made such a difference! Your gorgeous window gets to shine all the more!

Oh Delilah I GET YOU! I am in the exact same place right now. I realized that having so many things to maintain and manage and inventory and trip over was so stressful for me and made my head explode. Then I was very short tempered and I wasn’t very happy etc. so I have just ruthlessly decluttered things and it is so nice. The house may have a few odds and ends on the floor but it is so peaceful to just be able to look around and not see clutter everywhere. And I am still trying to declutter even more. Side note: you and I both do the same thing with our hands when we’re talking when we’re stressed like putting your fingers together and it’s really funny to see you do that too. I never did that until I was a mom lecturing my children about something hahahahah Praise the Lord for being there with us through this season of motherhood. He’s teaching me so much about myself to my children.

Such a great way to organize the toys by themes

Cleaning along side watching this today! You've been a friend for years to me 💗

Declutter the water beads!! I’ve been following a story of a kiddo William’s age who had one lodged in their intestine. Three surgeries, sepsis, not worth the risk!!!

It always feels good to declutter and organize things 😊

I feel the same.. the clutter causes stress... I want to do what you're doing and it's so hard for my brain to accomplish what you're doing lol... I'm working on being more organized but also on being at peace regardless of the state of my home (as long as I'm doing my best that is).

I’m new here but already in love with your videos, style, and the way you treat your babies… you’re such an inspiration 🥰

So excited for the kitchen deep clean!

Im decluttering my toddlers toys today and so I’m rewatching this video because I can always count on you to encourage and inspire me! I’ll be watching your new video tonight! Love your channel Delilah

This has given me such great motivation to get moving and decluttering in time for Christmas! Thank you ❤
