“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!
Also seeing her kids involved helped me to decide to do the decluttering and baby prep outside of just nap time. I like having something on in the background ,lately the child of the redwoods podcast, but this helped me to just slow down stop putting pressure on and use nap time to rest myself too.
My pregnant nesting self is very happy about this series haha
Hahaha that's literally how i ended up here. Need motivation to get started on the mess that has built up over the anemic pregnancy now only a couple weeks left and haven't done any prep for baby this time round. Literally was just survival mode day to day with my toddler. Bless her i don't want to let her down with the environment not being prepared for her.
I think once i get the printer set up too it will help having some good activities and the routine cards up on the wall when she is with my mum .
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 ❤️
I love how you keep in the footage of your kids interrupting you. Real life!!
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 🤗
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!
Removing the wooden tool bench made such a difference! Your gorgeous window gets to shine all the more!
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!!!
Theo shooting the arrow backwards... 🤣🤣🤣❤
Hahaha just saw it myself 🤣
Soo funny 😂
Cleaning along side watching this today! You've been a friend for years to me 💗
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 🥰
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
It always feels good to declutter and organize things 😊
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.
So excited for the kitchen deep clean!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I have been loving your content!
This has given me such great motivation to get moving and decluttering in time for Christmas! Thank you ❤
What a huge job! So interesting to watch!
Loved so much I’m going right in to watch again! So encouraging 🤍
Grrrrrl perfect timing
In cleaning out our house today so I’m thoroughly enjoying this video
Such a great way to organize the toys by themes
You are a very hardworking mum! Good job! 🎉
I need this video as inspiration!! Thank you, delilah.. 😘
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE VIDEOS!!! I need this motivation in my life!! YAY!
I love organizing it’s therapeutic. ❤
I have a lot of anxiety and I love to watch your videos it calms me down thank you!
I'd love to see a video of your favourite educational toy recommendations if you have time, please. Really enjoyed this video as well as what you got the kids for Christmas. Thank you.
I just love the aesthetic of your playroom
I love your vlogs on this topic. 😍
Love this series! I’m in the first trimester and want to clean/nest/de clutter and this is the inspiration I need to get stuff done during naptime and not plop on the couch.
Sleeping is great too ;)
Hi Lauren, how far along are you? I’m in the first trimester too and was thinking I was crazy for wanting to start cleaning, decluttering and nesting so soon 😅so your comment stuck out for me and made me feel a little more normal haha
Thanks for this video! It is inspiring. 🤗 I was thinking after you mentioned your house feeling chaotic and then watching the video, I wonder if it would be helpful to group all like items together instead of splitting them among all of the rooms. It might help you and the kids remember where each item goes!
Yayyy I love your vlogs so so much!! And I’m also decluttering with you❤
I literally laughed out loud when you are talking in your intro & your son went to shoot the arrow and it flew backwards and he goes “woah!” 😂😂
This is my favorite kind of content!
I really enjoyed this video, because I think it is intresting to see with what kind of toys other peoples children play. :D
i love this series!! it motivates me to organize my own home :) thank youuuu!
growing up my sister and I only had like 5-6 toys in total coz my mum didn't have a lot of money so seeing all these toys the kid inside me can't help but get excited! your kids are so lucky to be growing up in such a happy loving home! watching you declutter was so relaxing :) happy holidays!
But I’m sure you and your sister appreciated the toys you did have. Not always the best to have so much that it’s neither all used or really appreciated.
@@Joy-zf6cs yes of course we did! my mum always found ways to keep us entertained, we baked cakes and made crafts and all sorts of things!
Good work! I wish I lived near your donation center!! 😍
We have SO many toys in our playroom downstairs, I could have people come shop (for free) and I'd be so happy, haha
You’re inspiring me to take care of some hot mess areas in my house.
When we were moving 6 years ago we dumped all the toys in our garden and it took the whole backyard. I had 4 in 4 years and so my daughters got a lot of toys and we donated a lot to a charity who helps teenage mothers/fathers to get started
Oh Thanks for this Video.... it's time for me to go through our Kid's Toys! What a mess sometimes and some Toys they receive they're only excited about it a short time. We will definitely consequently say ,,Goodbye'', do some of those Toys! And keep only those they often play with. 👍🏽
The kiwi co ball run! I have been looking to find that second hand for my son for christmas
To everyone reading, there are studies showing that the more objects a household has, the more stressed the mother of the household is. So every, even single item less, the better and calmer we'll all be :)
Your little one looks so much like you 😍😍😍He is your twin 😊So adorable 💖
turn the magazine holders onto the spine side (longest edge on the bottom), all the stuff still stays in them. i do that for mine, i have a fixed shelf and the fit perfectly.
I needed this type od movie 😁
I love decluttering, good job guys finally getting rid of the things you know your kids don't play with.
I loveee that you are decluttering all this. I love that you have your own nice large house that has space in general, even if you do have some stress of these things to declutter. You did a great job cleaning up. All your littles are having so much fun. I love that your kids were playing with what you were trying to declutter haha. Don't you love having a homeschool cabinet? I had a homeschooling section in my closet. Man I miss going through homeschooling things every year. . .I sent my teens to public school last year but our surprise baby on the way will be homeschooled so yey. Eventually we'll go through this again. I love the basket bins you have at about 18 minutes! So pretty. I can tell this all took time but you look so much happier at the end of your video compared to the beginning.
So timely right before Christmas, I've been doing this progressively since October. Ready for another round soon. Sometimes you just have to do it all in phases too. I usually readily have a mental list of things I know need to go, things I'm not quite sure about, and things that I need to come to terms with getting rid of (for one reason or another). So I'll do some one week, more a week or two later, and more a week or two after that. Like you said, it's totally an ongoing process you always will have to revisit.
I’m here for it all. 🍿 these kind of videos fill my soul! 💕
All the toy food makes me want to be a kid again I would've DIED for those little connectable veggies :o
Our poke a dot books look exactly like that after only months!
When you went to the basement closet I got so much anxiety haha! I try so hard to stay on top of toys and books. Honestly glad I have a small house so that much doesn’t get brought in
It seems like you’re giving away a whole bunch of your Lovevery toys. At first, I was surprised to see that because the exact toys you’re showing are my daughter’s favourite ones at the moment 😆 (same age as William). It’s funny how different kids are.
When Theo pulled the bow and arrow backwards and it shot behind him 😂😂😂 “Whoa” 😂
I haven't even watched the video yet but I know it's going to be good. It's Delilah so of course it's going to be amazing
Our kiddos have sooooo many books and we got rid of big bins and we still have so many 😅 we love books
If you use some wax on the wooden drawer slides, it makes old drawers glide smoothly ☺️
But that's how you keep the kids out of them 😆
Rather than get rid of the beautiful wooden aeroplane, I’d add some fishing line or string and hang from the ceiling in one of the kids rooms. Xx
What a totally statisfying video to watch. That must have taken so much time!! But so worth it.
Nice to know where everything is and what you have to work with
Since your getting rid of old toys, you should realllly get rid of your water beads. They are incredibly toxic and deadly, esp for infants and toddlers. I really encourage you to look into how it’s killing and hurting children. They are not safe!!
Yes replace with Topeka or boba pearls
Yes, thank you for spreading the word on this. I only heard about it a couple of months ago - those stories are absolutely heartbreaking.
I think the key is supervising your kids when they’re playing with them or better yet, following the age recommendations 🤷🏻♀️
Oh wow scary
@@brooke7541 tapioca pearls will still be a choking hazard so still recommended to wait until older.
I wanna shop at the thrift store you’re donating too!😂🤍🛍️
I was waiting for the rundown of the donated toys to take inspo of potentially not getting the same x.x
Delilah- You're so wonderful and beautiful- I love your videos so much
More shelves in the toy rotation closet!
I love that you do have some plastic toys in there. superheros are the best
Soooo satisfying :D
awesome job! :)
Yay early video!! ❤
Hello ❤❤😊 i’ m sooo happy … New vidéo ❤😊❤😊
Love your decluttering videos! Always gives me the spark of inspiration I need to tackle some small project. Maybe not a big one, or all of it...but something! Haha!
What do you use for cleaning the toys? I’m looking for a non toxic safe spray!
Me to my husband while watching…
“Doesn’t this just make you want to go clean and organize something? It does to me!!”
I have to know what brand your daughters wide leg clothing set is from! Sooo adorable and comfy!
Thanks for being my inspiration today! My toy declutter will be a multiple day job for sure. P.s. where is your living room rug from?
I'm so curious about how your printer works? How could it connect to the socket if you put it into the cupboard? Did you make a hole in the back of the cupboard?
I have 2 small children and a teenager. I started to minimize my house last year. It's very easy to clean my house now and keep the stress levels down. Honestly kids don't need much to play with.
What mop do you use? I’ve never seen one like that.
Where do you get your play kitchen supplies from? I got my almost 2 year old a play kitchen and really want to get some cute accessories that aren’t just a bunch of plastic. I love the cabbage that you can peel leaves off of and the wooden vegetables you can cut!
The cabbage that you can peel leaves off is IKEA, and the wooden ones you can cut are Plan Toys, Hape, and Melissa & Doug.
I look for wooden ones and add to my kids Christmas lists on Amazon! Lots of good Melissa and Doug stuff. I know Amazon isn’t ideal, but family prefers to shop that way and it makes it so easy!
Useful video...in India baby books are too expensive...lots of love from India
🎉🎉🎉
Would love to know where your fun indoor climbing gym is from!
I believe Zack made it in their old house. Around Christmas 2019 if you want the video.
I always do a pre Christmas de clutter, it helps me enjoy the holidays so much more because I’m not stressing about where everything is going to go!
I noticed the mella clock in your kids room, I’m considering getting one for my daughter, does it work well for your family?
Yes we love it!
🌟
👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why not make downstairs the homeschool space
What’s the paint color of your hutch/cabinet in the playroom?
I’m not sure, that’s how it was when we bought it of marketplace!
@@LoeppkysLife It's so beautiful!!! Also, your channel is an absolute fave in my household!
What is a legal bedroom?
I miss the accidental toy arrows hitting me.
I thought you have much more toys! My boy do not accept toy rotation. He plays with everything all the time. I hide something- he always asks about that stuff 😂
He's so smart. He'll def be remembering A LOT even when older. It's visual memory it seems. My mom has it. We always got into trouble if we moved stuff at home
Where is the kitchen from??
ikea
my mother got rid of ALL our toys as kids ..like nothing is left except one doll...and we still have that grudge ...
your house is huge 😅
