Am I first for once?! Pin my comment? 🙂Love you guys!
Pinned 😁
@@slicenriceis this Glory? Cause I pictured a Glory smile 🥰😁
@@slicenriceYou two should consider attempting to get in touch with George Janko. Only a suggestion dear brethren
I think we all love you guys ❤❤
Give yourself some grace girl. It’s hard to keep a home clean and clutter free with small children. You’re doing great!
Yesss we have to appreciate that our kids can run, play and explore. One day the house will be quiet and then we miss the messy times!❤
I agree 💯 .
no U..
Yes! Couldn’t agree more!
I try different ways, tactics but being a working mom and homeowner trying to keep the house clean with 2 little kiddos its not easy! But we are super stars at the end of the day!
By herself at that
To answer your question I think it may be a number of factors:
1) you have kids and your time and energy are devoted to them
2) you work from home so there’s no separation between the two
3) it doesn’t seem like your home has designated rooms for their functions (also cus you have kids and follow you and you have to keep them entertained) for example: a room solely for crafts, a room solely work, a room solely for xyz without stuff that doesn’t belong there.
4) take a look at the space to see if those rooms are functional and organized in a way that works for you. Sometimes the space isn’t functional for you, or not organized in the way you need it so you don’t want to do something or put back something once you’re done.
5) do you enjoy your space? Maybe it’s because the space or the furniture or the design of the place doesn’t match with your style and therefore it’s not enjoyable to be there? This goes back to #4.
6) People say the state of your room/house/etc is the state of your mental health
7) finding a rhythm and routine that works for you and your family. It takes time to build a routine and habit but finding and building habits that helps your family takes time.
8) sometimes creative people just struggle with organization. “Creative people work better in messy surroundings because clutter can spark their imagination and creativity. Chaos, disarray, and disorder can stimulate the mind and provide unique inspiration for artists, writers, and designers.”
9) coming from an Asian household, I find that our parents/ grandparents are hoarders, kept everything, and lacked a meaningful organizational system. Therefore, we weren’t taught to dispose of things and how to organize.
I love you and your family. I love your channel. The first step is recognizing it, and doing something about it. It’s never going to be perfect. Please give yourself grace. You have young children and maybe this is the season in life where you are more present with them. At the end of the day, are you and your family safe, fed, and loved? If yes, give yourself grace and slowly work on different home projects that help you all get into a habit/routine that works for your family.
Also don’t forget to think about what you’re bringing into the house. There is another CZcamsr minimalist mom I think? And she basically said something like every item in your home is something to manage like inventory in a warehouse. So you can declutter but if you’re also bringing things in it takes up space physically and mentally. But it’s a journey and takes time! You’re doing great from what I can tell in your videos. The Carla project also talks about the journey to declutter and gives like really practical advice. Be gentle with yourself! 😊
Girl the cluter won't go away until the kids are teens 😅 we just have to appreciate that the kids can run, play and explore. Someday the house will be quiet and we will miss the times they were little!❤
Unless you have a husband like mine! Our house was less cluttered with all of our 4 kids in it. NOW he clutters up every room in the house! It's worse now with just him!!!! 😮
That sunroom would make a fantastic gym space
And I love how Glory said hate is a strong word but then went 3 levels stronger by saying despise LOL
For toys and clothes, 1 rule I like to keep is “1 in, 1 out”. If they want to open a new toy, they have to donate 1 (or more if they want). Same with clothes, if I buy a shirt, gotta get rid of a shirt or something similar. It keeps everything less cluttered! If I see an appliance I haven’t used and can’t imaging myself using within 3 months, it goes to marketplace! Always check for expired stuff in the drawers so you can just throw them out. Hope these tips help 😅
Those kiddos have the best parents! Love watching yall party with them haha
Your home doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to be functional. You all also have children. Even if you "declutter" and have things crisp and clean, it won't last long and that's okay... as your children grow up, you'll be able to manage things better but for now, set realistic expectations for your home. You guys are doing great!
Glory I’ve lived in the same home for over 15yrs! My mom lived here with us throughout middle and high school and then when I was 19 moved with my brothers to California (literally overnight!) I inherited not only the home but ALL of her clutter. I’ve been decluttering for 6yrs straight. 😂😭
Idk what type of scene you want for your podcast but I looooove the sun room as an area for you and Matt to unwind be present and even have your podcast.
Hate is a harsh word … then proceeds to use “dispise” 😂 I Love you girl . 😂
Yes! I taught my daughter and all my daughter’s school institutions, that she’s not allowed to say “hate, stupid and ugly.”
Especially, when it came to reading x testing.
In place, I told them I rather dislike, silly and indifferent.
One tip: I would suggest do one room at a time. Organize and decorate each room the way you like it. Even with each room you can start with one section at a time. Organize the closest first than the cubbies, etc. Take your time 😊
I love watching you guys you're so real. Every other youtuber family I watch act like everything is perfect they house is always clean, and the kids are angels blah blah .. but I'm a single mom of a 5yr old with adhd and I'm pregnant with another boy due Feb 5th so seeing you guys being so open and real about your lives is like my source of comfort and calm. ❤❤❤
You’re doing great. It’s very normal to want to declutter everything, but start small with one space at a time! I have a small child and I just kind of throw things places when it start to get cluttered, but every weekend I declutter one spot at a time, and that helps me a lot. Small steps, you’re both doing amazing!
It may be helpful to prioritize large furniture pieces to help with storage. Think easy organization like trunks, dressers, and armoires to store items quick. Containers are great but not for big items that probably contribute to the clutter. A giant trunk = quickly hide all kids toys, blankets, backpacks/duffel bags.
That party break is so relatable.
Ive never accumulated enough stuff to have official junk drawers.
Im normally the person my family calls to organize
Matts right about the sunroom fancy chairs. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they are worth even more. The detailing of the wood is gorgeous, if I lived by y’all I would have gotten them myself.
I really feel the minimalistic approach for you guys, few high quality items. Less stress for you guys & it can help children when they don't have SO much stimulation but have to focus on being creative & imaginative with what they do have. You have a beautiful home! & in your guys case the clutter really feels like a result of your many blessings which isnt a bad thing haha
*minimalistic but with pops of 90's-early 2000's classics, Slice needs a mortal kombat painting 😄
You are good!! My garage is the worst! But I have no energy to do it!! So I commend you for doing all that you did!! It happens, your home appears to be very large with a lot of rooms, y’all have a growing family, don’t be so hard on yourself! God bless!
I love watching you guys. You make me laugh all the time. I’m the same way with not getting it done when I say I’ll knock it out quickly. So, I hired a person to help me. She was wonderful! We got it done so fast and taught me how to remain organized by keeping the clutter away. Hire someone like I did. You won’t regret it. 😊
the dance party @ 2:54 😂 too cute!
You guys did and are doing great! Take it day by day. Everyone’s home gets a little cluttered here and there. I know as a content creator sometimes you’re on the go and focused on other things and it starts to slowly build up. I always start with a room to declutter and get rid of old things to clear space and make way for the new. It always feels nice and refreshing after as if it’s a new beginning and making way for new blessings. Keep up the good work! 🥰👏🏾
My tip for being declutter as someone who doesn’t have kids, but fuels her inner child by collecting things. If I have not touched (actually used, wore, enjoyed) it more than 3 times in the year I donate. And it doesn’t have to be the whole house every year at the same time. One month can be designated for Glory’s clothes, Kid toys, holiday decor, etc. Small changes everyday to see big differences later on. When it comes to donating things (regifting, going to a shelter, posting on FB marketplace) I like to keep in mind how much more I will acquire or be blessed with in the new year or even just a month from whenever I’m doing this. It’s like I’m creating space for different/new ideas.
Also, not to diagnose anyone but to relate it to myself. I have adhd. Lots of the qualities you all struggle to find tools for remind me of myself (decluttering, cleaning, etc). I recommend my favorite tool someone taught me “don’t put it down, put it away” so instead of setting that random item down on the table to get it out of the way, or off the floor go put it where it is supposed to be. Find a home for everything in your space. And if you can’t find a place for it, maybe it is time to consider giving it a new home. Make sure everything in your space is serving you and your family wholefully.
Like I have a lot of clutter right now. I’m not married and don’t have kids. I still live at home with my parents but I have so much stuff. I started a month ago decluttering but due to a family emergency I stopped and I’m in grad school and interning. But now everything is good. I’m currently on winter break and I finish my internship next week and literally today I’m going to continue decluttering and reorganizing stuff.
As long as you have young children and you don't have a live in maid, things will get like this.
I love how most comments had great advice.
Grace. Grace. Grace. You all are doing great. You recognize that there is a mess so you're okay. You actually try to clean and declutter, so again, I think you're doing great.
Clutter happens when things to have a place they belong . Which happens when you have more than you really need . Social media gives a bad name to minimalist approach but you would loooove “Minimalish” podcast .
Beautiful lovely couple. I love watching your video
Loved to see this!
You should hire a organization specialist to help show u easy ways to keep ur house organized, which most people struggle with, especially if u have kids. Or u can hire someone once a month to clean and organize if u can afford it.
LOL, I was thinking that in the description. I love you guys honesty 😊
Good to see you guys again 🙂 . Thanks for sharing your life with us 🌼 .
This isn’t easy and trying to keep house with two young kids is even more difficult! Clutter always should have a psychological cause, just like i can’t keep an area clean (for the life of me) and my house looks a lot like yours. I think the key is figuring out why we want to purchase things and what steps we can take. Whether it’s creating a budget, a goal to de clutter these many things a day, etc. Loving these videos! I love how raw and real it is, makes me feel better and can relate to! Keep it going!
Thank you for posting your real house, sometimes we feel like failures and we are all pretty similar in a lot of ways. I needed this!
You need to decorate your craft room, paint, put pictures up then you will want to keep it cleaner. You deserve a nice space for yourself. As for the rest of the house, you have kids, there will always be some clutter. Maybe every celebration they get gifts go thru there old stuff and get rid of the least played with toys then you wont just be adding more stuff. You guys are great, I love seeing how much happier Matt is, depression and anxiety are hard to deal with.
That's a good level of clean u did! I clean after every major gathering or every change of season (I do it with clothes anyway).
"You dont keep it that way..." Yeah, I hear this from my husband 😂
Omg! It’s so refreshing to see a relatable organization video, usually it’s just a video of someone organizing a spotless area with only a couple aesthetically pleasing items 😂
Sometimes I regret getting such a large home because although the space is nice and we can accommodate guest it’s sooo much to clean and we end up using and messing up all the rooms unnecessarily.
Please let me know when you find out how to organize efficiently in a way that it stays that way, I know it has a lot to do with organizing with your normal routine so it’s easy to use and put stuff back.
Putting things back is half the battle in my opinion because then you can just do maintenance cleans instead of the exhausting deep declutter cleans all the time.
Anyway love your videos! You guys are awesome!
You can do it! As a mom of 2 toddlers (with baby 3 on the way), I crave a simplified home. I have been helped a lot by a few CZcamsrs' channels - The Minimal Mom, Clutterbug, and the Secret Slob (Dana K White).
My mindset has shifted a lot since starting my decluttering journey. I might also suggest starting your decoration despite some of the clutter struggle. We've moved 2 times in the last 2 years and having blank walls is SO unsettling. Grace and Peace!
Not you guys comin’ for each other in the beginning of the video 😂
Im not set on spring cleaning per say BUT, I do find myself going through each room at least once a year and donating what I really just don't use. With that, I try to be a "mindful" buyer by making sure that what I'm buying is genuinely something I need and not something I already have/could use without. If clutter seems to be an overall reoccurring problem for you guys, maybe having a closet on your main level with shelves and baskets could be a way to at least keep the clutter somewhat organized and in one space. Goodluck guys, can only imagine this is all easier said than done with two small kids but if you want to make some changes I know you have it in you! :)
Always so nice seeing how your beautiful house and family grow and change together ❤️ wishing you all the best for the rest of 2023 and into the New Year!
Can’t wait to see more from you guys!! :)
I mean the fact that you did your best is what is important. If you want to maintain a clean house I suggest testing out different cleaning routines where you focus on different "zones" of your house a day. That way the entire house won't be one big mess and at the end of the week you'd have less stress worrying about clutter. My grandmother is a hoarder and mum says Fly Lady's routine is the best for having a clean house that's not too strenuous on your mental seeing that cleaning everyday if you're not used to it can be daunting.
Also I mentymy grandmother because we moved in with her and she constantly puts things out of place and refuses to get rid of items and having a cleaning schedule or routine has really helped us keep a semi tidy house.
Apologies for any grammatical errors.
Love seeing this!! Always feels good to declutter and organize!
You did great girl it honestly just a daily thing we have to do especially with having smaller children (soon to be a mom of 3 😬😬) I’m learning you have to tackle certain areas every day/ week to keep up with everything I struggle with keeping things organized and clutter free 😩 but I know by the grace of God I will get better my 6 year old love helping cleaning so I’m putting him to work lol but definitely give yourself grace
I think it's so admirable that you even found the time and energy at all to do the amount of cleaning and organizing that you did in this video. It would be a big feat for someone even without kids!
I definitely sense the discontent that you have for your current state of your home and especially because there's so much stuff in there that is from the previous owners that is not your style. I totally relate and understand how you feel. We recently moved into our house last year (it was empty, but dated) and initially I felt so overwhelmed with everything that I wanted to change about the house and got so frustrated with not having it match my style. I had to learn that it's just not possible to want everything to be perfect all at once and it will take many years to slowly accumulate furniture, decor and make it look how I want. But I had to learn after being unhappy for a long time, that I had to be grateful that we had this big house and a space that is our own.
So hang in there Glory, allow yourself to see the beauty in your home, and slowly but surely, I believe that you can turn it into your dream home ❤️
Thanks for this video. Gave me a reminder to declutter areas of my home before the New Year.
Yes I agree! Constantly reinventing oneself and reminders to set goals.. not only on New Year’s Day. I’ve got time to do this too. Each and every day you can try tackling something new. Unplug from technology and let your mind wander and being physically involved in something helps me feel accomplished. Before you know it, the day’s gone and I can see progress.
It’s so easy to find yourself up to your eye balls in clutter. My turning point was after Marie Kondo had her Netflix special 😅😅. Every 6 months or so I take a hard look at my stuff, if I haven’t used it in the past 6 months (and it’s not sentimental) then it has to go.
For your crafting room Glory, and I’m not sure how doable this would be for y’all but maybe make that your space only. No kids. Then you can keep it clean and have that space that you long for as your lil escape. Just a thought but keep it up! You’re doing great. ❤🎉
A big tip for maintaining clutter or such, is ONE put things back and clean the area as soon as your done using it, and TWO when you buy something new you have to think "where is this gonna go?" If you dont have a place for it you probably shouldn't get it. Or any time you get something new wether it be clothes or sum, get rid of something else in return.
Watching this as i declutter my kitchen 😂 wishing you guys well
This helped motivate me to declutter my kids toys 😊 thank you. Love videos like this
You guys are making a lot of adult content, and that makes sense because you've both grown so much, and it fits with your life. It would, however, be nice to see you guys having fun like you did on video before the beautiful kids. It might be fun to see skits of funny parenting moments or kids' moments that you guys can play out. It may add to your family experience by bringing more laughter to your home and give you fresh ways to have gratitude or view certain family experiences.
I see what your saying, even though the house came with nice things, they were the previous owners style. Now you want things that’s more your style and it’s hard to see that with everything around. I’d say just focus on changing one room at a time. Make one room your main focus and once that’s all together (cleaned and redecorated) move on to the next room. I hope that made sense 😂 ❤
Yes exactly! Glad it made sense haha. But yes, one room at a time is smart. Meanwhile we are just trying to tackle everything at once and it’s overwhelming 😂
It should be the ultimate unwind room with all sorts of calming toys for the kids and you guys !
My husband and I had the same issue. We went through all the kids toys and designate one spot for it. We donated through a center where they come to your house for FREE and take your donation away. Next we hired monthly CLEANERS! This was a must. Our cleaners would make a nice pile of stuff in the corner of each room and I would go through that pile. This minimize our bickering and stress and help us focus on decluttering the drawers.
We started in June and now our last donation stuff is in the garage. Without the cleaners I would still be in the same spot as you both with daily cleaning and attempting decluttering.
This is such a fun and wholesome video
It seems like it’s hard to keep things clean due to the lack of organizational space
Everything, yes even the straws, should have a spot.
Maybe look into getting a professional organizer that can label and get the proper bins for everything.
I like the voice overs! Even when it's accidental it is great
Matt is funny ❤ the clutter is like weeds, keep coming back in my house too smh ❤ya'll,❣️
Having kids is constantly decluttering... I always did it before Christmas and anyone's bday and it became the most fun thing to throw stuff away ❤
The best way to decrease clutter is to decrease stuff. The more we focus on storage…the more we focus on hiding the amount of stuff we have.
Ik it’s hard with kids. I’d listen to minimalist parent tips on CZcams if I had kids. I’d keep a lot of toys for my kids but I might have areas specifically for toys so the mess stays in just those areas.
Nice work you two, decluder your home day. We decluder to. You had me laughing yoday
I LOVE videos like this ❤❤❤❤ and my tip would be try to clean as you go and dedicate a day to cleaning one area . It will make you feel less overwhelmed but still productive at the same time
With little kids mess is totally normal just don’t let it get rats and bugs level but clutter mess is common because the kids constantly take things out and explore things. Don’t worry! Get a garbage bag sometimes and just throw a bunch of toys in it and donate it and don’t worry about the kids missing it it’s just stuff
Coming home from college next week and planning on clearing out clothes to donate before Christmas. Telling myself that the sooner it gets done, the sooner someone else can enjoy them. Giving myself a week to get at least my room cleared.
With kitchen/pantry/fridge/freezer we make a inventory list with the expiration dates to keep track on food coming in and out the house.
Best of luck to everyone with their clutter 🌟
It's okay to have a little help, maybe once or twice a month get someone (or a company)to clean the house spotless and then maintain it from there.
Looooooooooooveee itttt. I do get mad when slice gets mad at you living a fun life. Hater! Do yo dance girl! 😂😂😂😂😂
I love yall for making this because I needed some inspiration to clean lol
I enjoy these types of videos. It inspires me to de clutter and reorganize my items
Love watching your organization/decluttering journey! I’ve been working on my own house a lot too!
Two CZcams videos that really helped me was Dana K White’s “container concept” and Minimal Mom’s “Silent To Do List”. It was a total mental shift that really helped me maintain the hard work I did of decluttering!
Glory you have 2 Boys under 5. That’s what there play space is going to look like. 😂😂😂😂
If you think the house is full of clutter. Just look inside your Mom Mobile. Glory you are next level creative and Matthew is creative. The kids come by it honestly. It’s a creative house 👍🏿👍🏿
i enjoy these types of videos btw :) very therapeutic. give yourselves a break every once in awhile. kudos to the both of you cleaning up the place while having two lil ones around
Love the decluttering videos!
You should do the home edit!! You’ve done a lot of containers for the kitchen especially - which they focus on a lot - places to contain everything so there’s a place where everything belongs & they help get rid of everything you don’t need to de clutter !!
When the kids are playing with messing things you can put something down that you can just pick up and throw away when they’re done. You could also add a chalkboard wall for you and the kids
jerry dancing at 2:28 has my whole heart 😭❤❤
I’m the same way,I live in a mobile home 1 1/2 bedroom/ laundry room. It’s pretty much a home and a storage unit all at the same time for me. 😂
It’s hard to keep thing always so tidy and neat. 🤷🏻♀️
Good job! Keep going!
Yes you can get a lot more for those two lounge chairs! You can even Google lens those chairs and see original price to know how to list it.
i love the consistency you guys have been posting
Glory, I felt every bit when you mentioned you came to a home with the last owners belongings. The house we're living in belonged to my in laws, and they left 75% percent of their belongings and were trying to fit ours... it's been 6 years living in the same house (with 2 girls now!) and we now have 25% of my inlaws stuff! We just keep finding more clutter and shoving it somewhere else!
It's even harder with a bigger house 😭 take your time! Maybe once a week focus on one area in the house? The kitchen for example (me and my husband just started this last week!) Work on one or two cabinets a day. Maybe just take an hour to do it and either donate or throw away whatever needs to go!
I missed y’all 💗
I love this video
I remember crying watching the video when you guys got engaged 😂 time flies ❤
cleaning vids always make me want to clean lol 😊
Another option than throwing items away (if usable or fixable) would be to post it to a buy nothing group.
Decluttering is hard, I find it helpful to make sure items have a home and that they always make it back to their homes at the end of each day.
Designate a day every week to tidy up your spaces. Start making a routine where your children yes children my 4 year old is learning to put their toys away. Also I think before when you did a house tour I recommended to sell all the furniture 🪑 it would give more space to think about what you want to do with each room but it’s okay you can still sell the furniture and still create new space it won’t happen overnight give your self grace but don’t forget about it.
Those day beds look vintage to me. Id look them up. There should be a tag on the cushions
Yes a clutter video live for these !
Hey slice & Rice in my opinion if the house is messy its better to start cleaning it up even a small thing for example like Kids toys so from there you'll slowly learn and get used to cleaning because if u ignore the messy stuff on floor or other and then you're going to clean it later or tomorrow then the clutter will be added more since you guys have children, not saying to be perfect but its better if the house you're living are clean so the family will not be stress by it
You guys are amazing couple and you guys are a beautiful family and you guys two cute kids
Thank you so much!!!!!!❤️❤️
Love ya videos❤❤
Great job. You made lots of progress! Something to be proud of because it is hard. The house seems a bit large for your small family right now, so it’s ok to not use up all the spaces or keep for example the sun room as a storage area. But with the intention in mind that you will continue growing your family slowly some more. Maybe you could include an indoor gross motor space for your kids to play that has padding and soft furnishings in case of rough and tumble play and accidents/ouches. You could put out and leave out play camping gear for your kids and yourself that would serve as a privacy area with a tent. I’m kind of just rambling but I am not the best at cleaning… it wears me out. Kuddos to you!
Matt is right about selling them for more cause the style and colors ppl will def pay more
I understand what you say about other people's stuff in your home. It's nice to have when you can't afford furniture or something at first, but at the same time, that is someone else's energy left on those items. JMO.
I keep donating stuff and throw out what is not good every month. That way i keep my house uncluttered. If i go to the store im always thinking before buying. This is what i do and i have 3 kids 😳😂
About me➡️I’m from Baltimore. We moved from a 900sq ft apt to a 3500 sq ft house. We have 1, 4, & 6 yr old kids. I’m a SAHM…I still have this issue but it’s getting better. What helps ➡️ Recognizing the issue. Removing the sentiment of keeping “stuff” is the hardest part, but sell or donate stuff… but most of the time things need to get thrown out 🗑️ I also think working around the room and sections really helps when you are trying to tackle the mess and organization.
What I think the issue comes from ➡️ In my personal case it’s a bit of my creative energy (I have a home-based bakery business and I’m super artistic. I also have an art room) and finding comfort around my “stuff” , i’m also a procrastinator 😅.
❤Good luck guys I know how it feels but honestly as long as you try your best to stay on top of it, you won’t feel drowned but you have two small children and a business to run so I definitely understand!
You both are doing great❤❤❤
Oh wow. I watched after 10mins. A first for me
My biggest tip as a parent is to set up simple areas to clean. Don’t try to tackle a big space all at once because it feels somewhat overwhelming in my opinion. Separate a large room into sections like 20 minutes to clean in each bit. Just tackle those small sections throughout the day(s) until the whole space is clean. It’s far easier to think I am going to clean for 20 minutes or how ever long you decide and (be sure to set a timer) go at it. I find if I look at the large space, then feel overwhelmed I usually end up doing nothing.
You also need more containers !
SLICE N RICE IS BACK 💪🏽
