49 | 9 Decluttering Hacks That Actually Motivate Kids to Clean Up On Purpose


Listen Later

💖 Hey Mama,

Ever feel like you're the only one cleaning while everyone else steps over the mess like it’s invisible? 😩

You're not lazy. You're not doing it wrong. You're just trying to manage it all—and clean-up feels like one more thing on your already full plate.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 9 decluttering hacks that actually motivate your kids to clean up—on purpose. These are playful, real-life-tested tricks I’ve used in my home to go from constant nagging… to actual help.

You don’t need a complicated system or weekend marathon clean-ups. You just need a few strategies that make tidying up simple, doable, and yes—even fun.

And don’t worry, I’m not holding back. I even share the story of the year we gave Mitch coal for Christmas—and how it changed everything.

Key Takeaways
  • Why your kids resist clean-up—and how to rewire their motivation

  • The 1-Minute Rule that eliminates 80% of your mess automatically

  • How to gamify clean-up so even strong-willed kids want to join in

  • The power of clutter baskets and tidy routines that actually work

  • Genius ways to use jars, hooks, and doors for fast organizing wins

  • How these hacks create more peace, patience, and purpose in your day

    Cheering you on 🎉,

    Aubree
