- I finally get to create organization videos!! Whoo Hoo! We Decluttered enough stuff to be able to organize it!! It’s with the help of all you giving me such great advice!! I am grateful that you all are helping me during this journey of healing in my hoarding disorder!! If you struggle with hoarding disorder, I’m here to tell you that you can Declutter the hoard too 🌟🌟🌟
#Closet #Declutter #Organization
Goal for 2021: Stop telling yourself that you don’t know how to organize. You are actually very good at it! So keep up the great work💖✨❤️we love you
Awe, thank you so so much 🤩🤩 That is the “low self esteem” part of hoarding disorder that I still need to work on! You’re right, I can do it but I get a lot of help from all of you 💞
Agreed. You can organize!
I was reminded recently that sometimes we get stuck with idea that it has to be perfectly organized for forever, every possibility in our future. That is impossible. We organize for the stage of life we are in and reorganize at the next stage.
@@ahoardersheart everyone gets help!! There's no reason to do it alone! :)
Exactly what I wanted to type!
Yes!! have always thought this from the start, sometimes it is perfectionism in wanting to have things permanently in the perfect way that paralyzes us...
At a certain level of hoarding, you have to accept that some things just need to go to the landfill to regain your sanity and your space. Waste from years of hoarding is unfortunate, but allowing your mind to be free from the decision making burden is what will allow you to make more sustainable choices going forward. So sometimes you just have to put it in a garbage bag and move on girl!
I totally agree! Ms. Heart is doing more than her fair share to make sure that things aren’t going into the landfill. You can’t spend a disproportionate amount of time trying to prevent garbage from becoming garbage - it can become endless.
(One thing you can do with old underwear is cut them up to make rags, if you want....)
Thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Yes, this is a stronghold in my heart (I believe a lot of hoarders feel like this too) It’s why there’s so much in “ limbo” in the garage right now. I needed to hear this 🌟
Yeah, this might be perfectionism at it's worst. You become so concerned with doing it right that it never gets done.
Ideally we would all wear things until threadbare. Ideally... The only way that’s possible is to own minimum stuff.
Let go. What’s really wasteful is your space, time, energy, and emotion. We are so sure that you won’t continue consuming mindlessly after the painful goodbyes to things. You will be conscious of what to acquire from now on. When somethings come to you, you can say “no thanks” or “let’s pass it on because I already have enough.”😉
You didn't do a "good" job, You did a PHENOMENAL job!
100%
OMG!!! Thank you my beautiful friend!! I have tears in my eyes!! Thank you, thank you so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️
please never again say that you don't know how to organise, you did absolutely amazing! question, though: is Tyler able to access the lego on top of that shelf? if not, maybe consider putting it in the space between his bed and the other cubby shelf?
I thought this, too. The top drawer was pretty high. Maybe switch the shoe bins and the Lego bins.
@@theurbanthirdhomestead that was my first thought too! Switch those around and it is accesible. Otherwise the legos will not be put away and can cause mess
same thought, and also the "awkward" boxes of games will probably not be used if they are up there, maybe there is space for them on the shelf with the other games, and there may be a way to see if/what gets used or not?
Who else thinks she can have her own Netflix show helping other hoarder? 🙋♀️
Right? She’s as charismatic and helpful as any current hoarding show stars.
✋✋✋
Yes, please! I'd love to binge watch it :)
🙋♀️
Well as she’s said, she relies on our help and opinions, but maybe not quite ready for Netflix just yet, but she’s doing a fab job! It’s so exciting to see such a difference in that first shot of the playroom! Decluttering is all part of habit forming, it honestly does get easier to let things go the more you declutter, especially when you believe that you can help others with unwanted things or even make a few bucks! I wasn’t quite at the level as this but I was approaching fast, when you hear someone’s kids were fostered out due to terrible house keeping , it’s a wake up call, I started slowly following the www.flylady.net system, believe me, it works!!!
His closet and dresser looks so good. The space he has now in his room looks amazing. Who knew empty space looks so good.
Well done, you're doing amazing. Can't wait for your other sons closet to be done.
People will gladly and gratefully take toddler undies
Ask around or give for super cheap on any marketplace
Seriously, toddler underwear is expensive and would be appreciated by so many people
Nursery or school for little ones who have accidents.
Throw away any with stains, Wash and sanitize the rest and put for free. I bet someone will want them.
It will be so nice for your family when the basement is cleared out enough for the four corners to go to crafting for you/ exercise area for hubby/ play area for the boys/ and storage!
Wonderful transformation. I’m sure he enjoys his room now. And I love the idea of the declutter basket in the closet.
I love how you organized true trundle. Those bins are perfect for keeping the little things in their separate spaces. Good job on the whole room!
I think the playroom was one of the First of your videos I watched. And I couldn't believe my eyes.. it has taken some time but girl!!! Look at yourself! You have come so far! There is even empty space in that closet like whaaaaat! And it is so great because Ty has a room for himself and his own closet and he even has his own little decluttering bin! Oh my gosh! You are such an inspiration!
As long as the underwear looks nice with no stains post it for free. It can be washed with a little bleach and used.
Tyler's closet looks like a professional organizer came through here! I loved re-watching the before and after transformation!! I would suggest making another pass over the organizer bins in the trundle and the two of you try to reduce each bin by half. They look to be a lot of junkie random things that will get in the way of him finding the gems he wants to play with!
I really appreciate what I learned about "Organizing Styles" from "Clutter Bug" on TH-cam. She has a "simple, but fun light touch" on describing 4 main ways people organize a space. It's not rigid in every space, but sometimes one leans towards one direction in one space, and another direction in another space. Basically it's the question of being a Macro-organizer or a micro-organizer. An example of a kitchen drawer macro-organizer is that they put all their cooking tools in one drawer. There are no organizers, and they're fine with "looking around for what they need, when they need it". A micro-organizer would find more peace have a few to a lot of organization containers in the same drawer. It's about "what brings peace and function to the user". Kids start out as macro-organizers. They learn to micro-organize as they grow up, according to their personalities. Maybe an example for Ty for micro-organizing with the Nerf guns could be the following: have a different container for each type of Nerf bullet, or maybe make a small/medium/large zones for the guns. If they really got put away that way, it could be real easy to reach for what one really wanted to play with. The flexible totes are great to start with, help "see" what one has, and enjoy "enough". The bins may also help one see where one prefers a smaller zone for like things instead of looking around for something. Macro-organizers don't mind the "looking around". Micro-organizers prefer to "see everything at a glance".
The other main thought is if one values seeing everything at all times (ex. = open kitchen shelves), or if one prefers it behind a closed (but labeled/they know what's there) space. This can be a cupboard door, drawer, container with or without a lid, etc. I think HH's family is starting to like that. They're experiencing it, and like it. It's important to "experience it". It may change too as one grows up.
All types can be tidy or messy. It comes down to "don't use it unless you're willing to put it away". What system of organization is "encouraging" (and maybe even fun) for putting something away. Sometimes they even have laundry hampers for dirty clothes that are like a basketball hoop! The more "fun" something is to put away, the more likely it is to be put away.
I'm just stunned! What a great job, the two of you did! I was wondering if maybe the shirts would fit in the dresser as well and then adding the special jeans on a top shelf as well, since it's something he's only wearing in special occasions. That would free up some more space in the closet, if you need it. Well done, this was such a great and satisfying video to watch. Couldn't believe the video of the playroom before, what a long way you've come!
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Find a place that recycles material for the undies. So great to shop your stash.
Sorry, just a thought. Could you put shoes in a bin within the white unit, take out the shoe racks & pop the Lego drawers in that space 🦄💗🌺
Great idea!
Yes!!
Maybe you could "make a rack" with cardboard or foamboard to put one or two pairs of shoes on each shelf. If you prefer to not see the shoes, IKEA has a nice skinny shoe cabinet where the drawers tilt out when needed. One puts each pair of shoes in so they are side by side. Just an idea.
IDEA: Maybe go to stores on-line at home and look for "cool organization ideas" with your sons. Maybe, if needed, some may be implemented. It could also help you know what kind of organization they prefer at their current age. JUST AN IDEA: There may be ways they can display their plushies that help them enjoy them more. They have a lot of grandpa memories with them ... so maybe some may be a little bit more appropriate. IKEA has (or had) a tube that hangs from the ceiling with six levels and a big hole going into each. It's great for taking up very little space, yet displaying things that are loved. If it's within reach, it will be easily accessible too, for those moments where the kids just want to play with them.
Well Mrs Heart...you have gone and done it again...amazing...this is my favourite room so far...great work
When you have a clear space for a play area in the basement, put an carpet or area rug down to make a play area. We had a carpet in the garage growing up and we played on it all the time throughout the year.
Omg!!! How far u have come!!
So very happy u r able to start enjoying ur organized spaces fully!!💜🦄
The end result is beautiful. A professional organizer could not have done any better. My heart sings for you.
Oh my goodness, really?!! You mean it?!! Lol That means everything to me bc you gave me the confidence to keep going ❤️🙏🏻❤️
@@ahoardersheart I REALLY DID THINK THAT TOO! This is what I meant by "the real you is starting to shine"! I think you have more "organizing strength" than you may realize. Go ahead and compliment yourself! You deserve it! It's you! I actually enjoy organizing (believe it or not), and I was very impressed!
It all looks so good!! One thing I’ve learned about organizing is not to get discouraged if you try a system and something about it doesn’t work and needs to be adjusted. The number of times I have put together what I thought was a perfect system and needed to tweak it after living with it is huge! I love how much thought you put into the usability of his favorite things in this space!
I'm so excited about the playroom area in the basement cause then they could have their favorite things upstairs. And then have some downstairs...and Ty could have room for a desk!
You are a professional🙂fab job ❤️
The result came out sooooo good and the idea to include some storage pieces you already had at home was great!! Now looking for the same organization in your eldest' s room and then the full kitchen and pantry declutter and organization
I love this - you're getting to a place where things are getting much more functional and livable, and that means it will be much easier to maintain. I am so incredibly proud of you in this journey :D
Unicorn heart what a wonderful room for Tyler! bravissima! 💚
Great job! I would lay down a little carpet for the boys and encourage the them to set up their own practice playroom. The kitchen set is just begging to be a little restaurant in that corner😁. There is so much space now with your hard work!
I love the idea of a declutter basket!!!
I have textile recycling in my country, I don't know if that is an option for you?
Planet aid boxes will recycle textiles too, I always label the bags "for recycle".
I’m going to find out! I really hope so ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Thank you!
Oh I love the fact he has a declutter basket! How great!
“I think I did a good job.” Ms. Heart you did an amazing job!!
I'm sooooooo very proud of you!! Congratulations 🎉👏!
Schools are always glad of spare underwear in case of any accidents xx
Wow! You did a great job 👏! Keep it going.
Y’all did so good and man you have gotten so much better I’ve been watching since the beginning and you are doing great!! you motivate me and I’m sure lots of other people I don’t know If you hear this often but I just wanted to let you know I’m so proud of you and your journey and may god bless you! Thanks for the video. Have a great day!
You are such a beautiful human. Glad I found you.
Love that closest.
I love your videos x The way you explain where you are in life with your journey, how it affected you but how it still does/doesn’t now..and how your open to positive advice from the people that follow and support you...You explain in easy little steps so it doesn’t feel overwhelming to myself and it’s not a do this, that, now..! Kinda feel 😊 Am thankful I found your channel and I wish you, your family and supporters a happy and safe 2021 x 🇬🇧🏴❤️
wow you are an amazing human being. i am so proud!!!
good job, it is a beautiful bedroom. step by step you did it. big hug ellen
You did a fantastic job. I got teary eyed looking at the before and after. So proud of how far you've come and can't wait to see more!
This is an awesome job! And such a good room! Very proud of you!!!
That is really fantastic! Night and day!!! I'm so proud of the job that you and Tyler have done. Excellent job on the dresser drawers and closet!
Loving your videos!! I could do with your help on my horrible old kitchen (I have a new kitchen now in what was my dining room) but oh boy that other room has become a dumping ground!
You did an amazing job!!! The room looks beautiful!
In my town, we have fabric recycling at the town dump. It is managed by a company that recycles fibers and saves it from the landfill. Maybe your town or county does too? Otherwise, give the underwear to a shelter or to Goodwill.
Ohhh...I hope we have a fabric recycling around here!! If we don’t have one, I do have a Goodwill by my work!
WOW that is amazing what you have done. In my state you can put worn clothes like ripped socks in a bag (clean) label it rags and they send the clothes off to be made into rags.
The room looks great!
To be clear I love this and her
You did an amazing job!
A lot of Salvation Army and goodwill locations have a textile recycling program (call and ask your specific location). H&m also has a textile recycling program. I'm not a big fan of H&m and their fast fashion mentality, but you don't have to shop there to drop off clothes. The underwear can be recycled.
Yay!!!! Great going ms heart!!!
You are doing an awesome job!
Suggestion on how to recycle old undies 🙋My mum used to use my old shirts or undies as rags for cleaning or something like that until they got completely ruined.
Outstanding! Woohoo! ❤️🇦🇺❤️
oh and i think goodwills do textile recycling, so items that come through to them that can't be sold get recycled. where I live you can put fabric in the recycling bin! but yeah look for textile recycling in your area :D
👏🏻
Looking a fablous boys bedroom xxx
Any clothes and other fabrics that are no longer fit for wearing can be recycled. There are places that use the fabrics to make other things from the fibers like car insulation and dust covers. You can either do your own research or maybe check out trash is for tossers. She has a list of places that repurpose used fabrics, shoes etc. (trashisfortossers.com/how-to-recycle-old-clothing)
However, the underwear looks still pretty good and could be a blessing to a child in need in a shelter or a disaster area if there is a place that will take them. This might not be a great thing to do with the underwear but I also use some old clothes to make rags for cleaning as I prefer them to some of the things you can buy and they can be maschine washed without a problem.
In regards to the underwear. If they are not torn or stained, I would have no problem offering them up on a free site (I use Buy Nothing on FB...the Buy Nothing Project is in most cities) Some young mom who can afford new, may really appreciate them. Anyone who gets them would was first to make their own.
Heyyyyyyyy !
That declutter basket is the shining star of the room.
My grandma would like bleach boil a wash the underwear, then put them in a ziplock bag with a note saying what size and how they were cleaned then donated them. There are homeless children too so it's all needed.
Domestic abuse shelters. A lot of family’s leave and have no clothing, even underwear will help 🙂
From what I have heard they don’t take used underwear. Bras maybe, but not used underwear. They do take donations of new underwear.
What a Great idea!!!!
Underwear gets trashed. Socks in good shape could be donated. Really dirty/worn socks gets tossed.
@@aliciacassio4215 that’s good to know 🙂 thanks!!
Underwear is trash
Yes!!! You are pumping out vids and getting your goals accomplished!!
Hi Mrs. Heart!
I suggest to you, to make Playlists of your videos. Your target group love to binge watch your videos. I go room by room or them by them to watch your videos. It would be so much easier if I could just click a Playlist instead of digging through all videos. I bet your clicks will rise if you maintain good Playlists.
Greetings from Germany!
Wow you did amazing!! Tyler is so lucky to have a mom as great as you!!
The salvation army and shelters in my place say they are often short on underwear, socks and wintercoats, so maybe just donate the best looking ones anyway.
Fantastic job decluttering and organizing Tyler and Ms. Heart! Everything is in its place and easily accessible. What a difference from the beginning! Oh, my!!! Decluttering muscles were strengthened. Can't wait to see what Brandon does in his closet. Next bedroom- yours and Hubby's!!! Tranquility is coming to the Heart family, one room at a time. Lovely!
Thank you so so much my beautiful friend ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Yes, Brandon’s closet first and then our Bedroom 🤩
Tyler's room looks amazing! I think having a basement play area is a great idea. And you could have your workout zone in a different spot down there. 2021 goals for the win!
And a craft area, it's a big room. Just imagine the kids playing while nearby mama crafts and daddy gets his lift on.
The thought of a "Craft Zone", "Exercise Zone", "Kid's Play Zone", a "Gift Wrapping Zone" and "Christmas Decorations Zone" ... all of that sounds like a neat basement! I think your whole family would LOVE the experiences that could be made! Maybe your husband may like an "indoor tinkering zone" as well as the garage. One mistake we made is that we didn't finish the basement. The floor was COLD!!! The kids kept on bringing toys upstairs and the basement was avoided. Think about the flooring, walls, furniture, etc. that will help the whole family feel "welcomed" to use the basement. Maybe down the road a Foseball table, Air Hockey Table, Ping Pong Table or something like that would be fun in the basement too. Teens tend to like those things, but they can be great for "family fun" if that's what the family loves to do together.
I have recently found out that one of my donations centers that is connected to our womens shelter takes bags of clothes to recycle. We just have to mark RECYCLE on the bags and they will send them to their recycle pile. Doesnt hurt to ask around the donations centers if they recycle cloth.
I have always thrown away the underwear but you could use them for cleaning then throw away.
You need to put the Lego organizer on the floor and the shoes on top of the cube. He’s not gonna be able to reach the top drawers with the Legos in them
That is the ONLY change that I would make -- keep all his stuff reachable. Otherwise, it is SO good and functional!
He still has more toys than my brother and me combined in the whole of our childhoods. But it's good progress.
Lol! Yes, one small step for me, one giant leap in my hoarding disorder ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I just love watching you each week and the progress you've made. Creating new habits is important have a 5 minutes clean up before bed for each kids and you will help maintain the space from clutter up again. It's alot faster than you think and once you start cleaning you'll want to do more. It's like cleaning dishes then you start cleaning the stove then countertop then dining table bc you want everything around it to be clean as well only take few seconds more.
Oh my gosh the way you folded the pajama sets together!!! Genius!
I do that for my kids but my son likes to separate them and mix and match. 🤦♀️
@@emleigh1793 lol!
It's brilliant! And if you get your boys to fold their own laundry, they will learn it too, and it's that much less for you to do. We used to fold laundry as a family while watching TV at night.
@@ediefolta9494 that’s such a great idea!! My son is 2 and he is all about helping with everything right now!
Put the underwear in ziplock bags at the yardsale for free. I always do that with my little boys undies. They always get taken. Sometimes people don't care bc they can't afford new. I just make sure they're freshly well washed and have no stains or holes.
if my mom showed my underwear on her youtube channel I would have had a heart attack at his age..lmao maybe boys don't care as much as girls. thank goodness my mom doesn't have a channel though.
You are definitely on a roll, you go girl!
Yesss! Can’t wait for Brandon’s closet organisation! :)
Being a hoarder, you sure make it look easy !!! Such a wonderful job organizing. I could tell how proud you were. Excellent job. Kudos !!!!!!!!!!
Oh my beautiful friend!!! It took time to get to this point ❤️🙏🏻❤️ It does become easier once you start decluttering more & more. In my earlier videos I did not let go of much. But each week I let go of what felt right in my heart. I strengthened my decluttering muscles and now it has become easier to let go! It’s actually weird and freeing to not feel strong emotions to things! Lol I know if you are ready to declutter, I’m here to cheer you on!! We got this 🌟🌟
I've watched thousands of decluttering vids. You stand out for being honest - plus we can see clearly that you are overcoming STUFF ! Inspiring!!
You know what I was thinking- be so grateful that your boys really play with toys and games! Like, for real. My girls have profound special needs, but I was talking to other parents about being sad that they don’t play with toys because there are such neat ones around, and these moms said their “typical” kids didn’t play with toys either. I was like, wow!! So, I asked around some more, and many parents said the same thing.
How joyous that your youngest finds happiness in playing with the play food even without the kitchen!
I've found the same thing to be true, unfortunately.
Maybe you can sort the games into:
1. Games the family enjoys playing together ... and put them away in the Living Room ... either in the cubes or on the shelves your husband built.
2. Games both of the boys enjoy together ... decide together where to put them away.
3. Games for Ty and his friends ... Ty's bedroom. Same for Brandon.
Maybe this sorting will help all of the games be enjoyed more.
These videos always make my day
When you get that space in the basement done put a nice rug there so Tyler can have a soft spot to play on
Nice! Yay! Like how you organized the drawers ☺️
Yippee 👏 needed this to start the weekend. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💐🦄🙏🥳💪
Tyler’s closet looks awesome 🤩... good job to you both!
Wow, you have made HUGE strides. It's like a different house!
MISS HEART U DID AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB OF ORGANIZING!!! (I'm so excited for u that I'm yelling!)
The only change I'd make is switching the Lego organiser for his shoe organiser. That way he can reach all of his Lego.
I'm so proud of u! Sending lots of love from Australia 😀❤🇦🇺
What a magnificent job. You did a lot. Remember not long ago you could only do small sections. ❤️
Can't wait for your other sons closet !!
Oh I wanted to say the same on the last video! So glad it got sorted and functional for a teenager. By the way, why not use those old underwear’s for cleaning? It’s perfect for cleaning the shoes when you came home with 🦠 or cleaning those moldy corners or something you just don’t want to use your clean cloth to clean with.
I am absolutely amazed and in awe of what you have accomplished. You and your son have reason to be very proud.
Well done! My kid has trouble letting things go, so what we do is that he gets to collect what he is willing to let go of and he gets to sell them at flea markets and keep the money. That way he gets a feeling for the value of what he has. Also he can use the money to buy new toys and with that he realizes the real cost of things.
I love the declutter basket!
A quick suggestion, I found with my son that games stacked on top of each other can be difficult to get to, especially those on the bottom of the pile. Instead we organised them so they are on the shelf vertically (like you would put books). It really helped keep them tidy. Keep going, you are doing fantastic x
I know daycares always need underwear so when little ones have accidents. Especially in lower income areas.
Yay! Unicorn Squad 🦄 💕
