0:00.0	I have probably 40 sweaters worth of yarn, but I'm just limited by time like all other adults.
0:08.4	I can't get rid of that. I might need it again someday. And if I do, I don't have enough money to replace it.
0:16.9	Recently, my mom passed away and she had collections. I want to try to recover money from these collectibles, but I can't seem to find the right people or place to sell them.
0:30.6	I feel that my children, they're ages 5 to 15.
0:34.6	They sometimes don't seem to place value on things and I do believe it's because of excess.
0:40.9	Welcome to the Minimal Mom podcast where simplicity meets inspiration on your journey to a clutter free and intentional life.
0:49.3	Join us each week as we dive into practical tips, real lifelife stories, and expert interviews to guide you through
0:55.7	the art of decluttering. Let's declutter our homes, minds, and lives together. This is the Minimal

1:40.8	So this may be a difficult one for you if you're not a super crafter, but I would love some
1:45.4	advice on how to let some of it go. Thank you so much. Jenny, this is such a good question. And
1:51.0	I used to do a lot more crafting than I do now, but I just spent the weekend. We had our
1:55.5	Minimalism Masterclass. And at one point, we did a breakout room for women that were specifically working on
2:01.6	craft rooms because there was many that said they were. So I have to spend about 45 minutes
2:06.5	with a group of 35 women all working through craft supplies. And here's a few things that we
2:12.4	talked about and that we arrived at. One, almost everybody had more craft supplies than hours in the day. So there is
2:19.1	something about being realistic about how much time you have and how much you could actually get
