Welcome to another episode of the Decluttered Mom podcast. This is a really fun one today because it is actually a

recording that I did about two years ago. It was spring of 2021 with my friend Tricia from Clean House with

kids on Instagram. You may know of her or follow her. She's wonderful. She's super,

super kind. She and I have met on Instagram. We have never met on person, but we are fellow

the most supportive, encouraging, kind person. She is also superwoman because she has

seven kids. And she has this house that's on this land and the river and everything. And it's just,

So just if the timelines don't make sense or anything like that in the

conversation, you can just know it's because it was from a little over two years ago.

And again, this was a Zoom call. So we did not, we did have a Q&A at the very end that we did not include in this episode because

it just was way too long. So this was just the bulk of she and I talking about how we handle

gifts in our home without it getting overboard. And we also do touch on gifts from other people. So there is an earlier

episode of my podcast all about working with family members on helping them to want to give you

and your kids experience gifts. So I will also link that below because I'm blanking on what number
