I’m loving the sister decluttering videos. Your big sister is hilarious 😆. How come there’s no fighting? I couldn’t cope with helping my big sister declutter. More power to you.
Hhaaaahaa, I do this with my tia and remind her it helps me too. No one want to be in an overwhelming situation and we love to read architectural digest. 🎉
Keep up the good progress. 8 years ago I helped my sister move…everything into a new home. After helping her all day, I went home and started cleaning out my home. A year later, my husband and I moved to a different state and it was easy enough because I had already decluttered. Each year we travel back and I help declutter my sisters stuff. So keep up the good progress.
I click on videos with Sherry as soon as I see them. Hang in there Sherry, and remember how much you enjoyed the vacation rental with all the open space. You are getting there, one step at a time.
Yes! This reminds me of @EricaLucasLoves journey to minimalism! She also had a vacation rental a-ha moment that made her want to simplify her life. I love her and her TH-cam channel: Sherry, check her life-changing journey decluttering her house!
Sherry, DON’T GIVE UP! Don’t regret your decisions. Don’t listen to folks that might be saying you should have had a yard sale, etc. You are on the right track! You dont have time for selling stuff! Hang in there! You’ll be happier in the long run. Let it go so you can get your life and health back. Less stuff means less dust. Less dust improves asthma! You got this lady! Eye on the prize! I have a rule that I learned somewhere else. If it can replaced for $25 or less then out it goes. I have only replaced one thing. My lemon juicer thing. Other than that I haven’t missed anything. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. You’re doing great!
Dear Carla and Sister, Thanks you for the wonderful inspirational videos. They encourage me to tackle my decluttering projects. Little by little I'm making headway in my bedroom which is the most challenging since I moved out of the storage to help save money. I made a big dent today. YEEHAW 😅 Keep up the great videos and great work. ❤🙏
I went through ONE small drawer that had a little over 100 tiny things. Maybe about 4or 5 were useful to my current life. It was a good reminder that sometimes 95% or more of that stuff can go without missing it!
Your sister does have some nice furniture, curtains, and decor in her bedroom. It will look great straight away after it’s declutterred because it’s already decorated so nicely.
Im already laughing. The tattoo eyebrows in the bag with wood filler 😂😂😂 I love this series Carla! Your sister is such a good sport and she’s so funny. I love her personality and you two together ❤
These two always leave me with a smile on my face. They always have a laugh together. Keep going ladies, you're doing awesomely. I know you have inspired me and probably a lot of other people 😍
Hey Carla’s sis, I used to be a hoarder at one point and my apartment was piled up to my shoulders all around me and sometimes higher. I know you are ready to be done right about now and it’s exhausting. It’s good to take a break and celebrate all the little wins. For me it was the moment I could lay on my bed and the piles didn’t reach past my eye line laying down. Then it was the time I got my kitchen to the point where I could cook and clean it all away. Celebrating gives you energy to carry on. So we will celebrate with you that these 2 annoying bags that probably nagged you every time you saw them have now gone, to be replaced by peace and calm 🎉
I'm so impressed by you Arty Antics! That is quite an accomplishment. I have understood that most hoarders do not heal so you have overcome considerable odds and gotten to the place you are now! Good on you!!
I think that even when she decides to keep and/or relocate, it is getting things where they need to be. Then, on a second pass, she will realize how much of a certain category she has and will be able to let more go. Your sister is doing an amazing job!
I rarely comment on videos but I have to say, I absolutely love your chanel and especially this sister declutter journey. Firstly thanks so much to your sister for being so courageous and allowing us in to her home. In to her life. I have 5 sisters myself (no brothers) and I love your interaction together. I've just completed a very long declutter journey myself and it's not easy. I love your sincerity, it's very helpful and encouraging to those of us with real homes that aren't huge with tonnes of space etc. Wishing you (and all you other subscribers/viewers out there) a wonderful holiday season and thanks for all the work you put in to your chanel.
I am so impressed with your big sister and how she is willing to let us witness her transformation into someone who wants to live more minimally. This is such hard work, but every time Sherry gets rid of something it will become easier and easier. Thank you Carla and Sherry! ❤
Great job Sherry! You are so inspiring to watch. Remember that you did not accumulate all this stuff in one day so it will take time to declutter. Anytime you live in the same home for a long period of time, we tend to "collect" stuff we don't need or that serve no purpose or happiness. Carla is being so supportive in your decisions but also she has to be the task master to keep you on track. You both work so well together, so just keep pushing forward. You two are my favorite and most inspiring series to watch!!!
I’ve got 20 years worth of stuff I’ve been working on from before I moved two years ago. It sure piles up, but I have a lot less now. Gotta get to my Moms stuff to see what is worth keeping. Photos and keepsakes need to be displayed once I figure it out.
Ladies, we must be sisters. There are four sister’s in our family. I’m the oldest and the only hoarder. I’m a “Sherry” down to the bone. Thank you Carla for giving your time to assist and be a part of Sherry’s healing process. Love you both. From Minnesota
I love this series. It is so nice to feel like we are just hanging out with you two wonderful people... You're doing so great, Sherry. We're all cheering with you, with every decision you have to make. And Carla, you are cracking that whip with humor and patience and love. It doesn't get any better than that!
You two are so natural and relatable. I feel like a sister sitting in the corner. Thanks for those words Carla, I needed them to keep going, it's exhausting getting closer to the top of the hill
You're doing amazing. This middle part is where most give-up - DON'T do it! You always feel that right before a break-through. Go through the motions until that break-through hits - because it will. And when it does - keep pushing! You're doing amazing. I'm so thrilled to see you come out on the other side of this. You're going to feel lighter, there's going to be space both in your home and in your mind, and you and your family are going to keep reaping the rewards of the compound effect once you've completed this massive project! You deserve to have a home that's easy to maintain. It IS possible. Contrary to pop-culture, it IS attainable. You won't see it unless you continue. I believe you will do this!!
I LOVE how you JUDGE but so gently. ❤😅😅😅❤😂😂😂❤😅😅😅❤ And the 'rowr' with the leopard headband... Can she BE any more adorable?!? You and your sister need a SHOW. ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤ It's such a continuous cliff hanger! Will she or won't she... LET. IT. GO!?!?
It makes sense what you said that we can only change 20% at a time or it's too much at once. When I push myself to do major decluttering, I get severe anxiety from the things that aren't there anymore, i.e., decluttering too much at once can feel overwhelming in the opposite sense (too much change at once). You have such patience, Carla, you guys did another great job! Thank you for another motivating episode. :-)
The decision fatigue is real! Especially with a declutter like this. Your sister is doing amazing, everything that leaves the house is one less thing she has to manage. 💕
You’ve been doing so great Sherry! I know this was posted a while ago but keep up the amazing work! At least now you’re more aware of what you have and where it may be. I’m not sure if you know much about ADD and depression, but I am learning about mine and the way it affects me is I get distracted easily plus I don’t have energy to put things where they belong, though I do know what I have and where it “should” go. And when I can’t see something that I need, it becomes even more unreachable. I love how Carla asks in her videos, “how would you like this room to look?” That really helps me to focus. Clear bins are another saving grace for me. You are doing so fantastic. You are really persevering! So inspiring.❤❤
Sherry did so great for being tired. All the donate and trash items are out of the house and that is Progress! 😍 Today I trashed a lot of old medical and banking paperwork in my filing cabinet, some sitting there for 15+ years. 😮
That was a mammoth effort, I could feel all the emotions rising as Sherry was confronted by things. She’s doing so well, it is such a hard thing to do and continue to be authentic online. Props to you both for all your hard work ❤❤
You've motivated me to declutter all my paperwork. A daunting task! I will start and finish this month. I don't want to carry excessive paperwork into 2024! 😢 Good luck
You can do it. I did. Took me hours to shred. Oh! Here's an idea. If you can't burn or shred, get a bin and place the papers in there. Add water and some sort of cleaner or dishwashing liguid. Let it sit overnight. Then drain water next day, shred papers in bin, leave in bin, and discard in trash bags or just throw away bin. Wetting the docs will remove print off pages. Easier than shredding
I was procrastinating on discarding old taxes with the aferent documents. I own a business and I had about a banker box full for each year. I set up a rule that anything 9 years or older can get shredded. It took me weeks to shred everything, go through old documents etc. in retrospect, I should have piled up everything and taken them to a shredding company. It was exhausting, I had a ton of bags full of shredded papers, my shredder was overheating and shutting off, dust from shredding the papers was flying around... I'm now keeping up with all my paperwork, no more procrastinating! And I'm slowly going through my things and making decisions about what to keep. I've got about 4 Rubbermaid totes with Christmas stuff that I don't even use! I'm listing things for sale, donating the lesser value things and slowly making progress. I'm determined to not leave my clutter behind for my daughter to deal with after I die, I don't want her to hate me.
Tell your Sister she is awesome, lovely personality just like you Carla. Tell her dont be so hard on herself. Change is one of the most difficult things. She deserves points for all she has done thru out this whole process.
I’ve been binging on your channel getting some much needed decluttering inspiration. Bravo ladies!! You are helping more people than you even realize. 🙌💕
Me too💖👏👏and + sense of humor + realistic process (*decision making) Keep it up sister 👍🌼🌻 ** I've been having low energy and bloting (*even some day I did not eat much) stomach But over a month, I've been eating cabbage ! steam or boil Just eat as snack, surprisingly " I slowly gain energy and better stomach bloting. Condition : no Latte, 100% quit alcohol, try not to eat too much flour
So true. Carla is definitely one of my favorites. I love seeing her sister Sherry and Samson who plays to role of a manager who sits by and inspects. lol
Thank you for sharing that things can become disastrous as they are getting better, this is the point where I have become very overwhelmed and worry about making a bigger mess.
I just love these! A real household, with real challenges, just like mine! Your humour and sisterly silliness is awesome. Keep going, Sherry! You will get there, all in good time.
She’s doing so well! She got rid of stuff even when she started off tired. In these cases, remembering “something is better than nothing” is important to remember AND y’all were rehoming items to their more appropriate areas, which will help in the inevitable second sweep.
Watching you and Sis make those hard decisions helps me when making mine. Living vicariously does help build the "I'd rather have the space vs. just "another" one of whatever it is and I chuck it in the donate box. Thank you both!
Lost one of my best friends of almost 30 years today. You beautiful ladies put a smile on my face and made me laugh which I so desperately needed. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️! As always you ladies are knocking it out the park, well done!!
You two make me smile in my depression. It reminds me that I will answer that call from family and joke, not feel shame guilt embarrassment hiding disgust …..it’s always a fear especially with family.
Wait until you introduce your sister to "Swedish Death Cleaning" lol! (jk! She's not ready for that yet!) I'm so proud of your sister for the progress she's making! Keep on keeping on!
Yay Sherry! That’s 2 whole bags of mystery items dealt with, you’re doing better than me! Don’t give up, slow and steady and lots of laughs with that girl😂 you let in the house! You guys are the best medicine. ❤️
I absolutely love your videos, especially with your wonderful sister! I really struggle to motivate myself to sort things out at home, for a number of reasons, and I really appreciate your kind, gentle approach to it. I’ve been watching/listening to your videos while tidying and it’s like having someone in the room with me, encouraging me to carry on with it. Thanks again and best wishes from the UK! x
I love your sister's determination and hard work🌻She has done remarkably well IMO, on her decluttering journey. You are a great little sister Carla for helping her out. You are helping her to get her life back, by helping her to create a peaceful space to live in. The bible and the cross made me laugh, ward off those vampires Carla.
Carla: you are such a kind little sister! You obviously love each other and also seem to respect each other a lot. Love to watch you two take care of each other.
Hello, I watch every video of your decluttering journey. Visualize yourself in your home the way you imagine it after all the decluttering is done. Know that every step you take you are going toward that vision. You will make it! Step-by-step, you'll reach your vision. I hope you are able to enjoy the process and comfort yourself knowing you're doing a lot to help your family. I love watching your videos and watching you determined to keep going even if you don't feel up to it. I'm so inspired by your journey❤
We have 2 new kittens/cats, so all of the Christmas presents are in my bedroom rather than under the tree. I cannot wait until the 24th (we open presents on Christmas eve) because I can finally CLEAN my bedroom properly - and do MORE decluttering/organizing!
One bag emptied, handful of things in their proper place and some donated. Every step is one step closer. Its a journey and takes time. Im glad you have each other to take the journey. Its beautiful and I appreciate that I can be a witness. Keep going! You will get to the end, one step at a time. You got this! ❤
Yes, this is the "messy middles" of a declutter. I've been there. I am sort of there now on a home remodel. Please keep up the good work. It helps the rest of us.
I am cheering for you! For real I am sitting here and applauding every time you let something go and free space for new energy to flow in. Watched your videos for a year now, but nothing beets these videos with your sister. They are amazing and really show how hard it is to declutter, especially those small decisions. Hugs from Denmark
I love hearing the two of you laugh😂❤! Even though your sister felt a little overwhelmed, I think she did great.❤ Anything is better than nothing! I decluttered my home onion peel style and eventually I did see the light at the end of the tunnel! You got this!❤ It's not a race, just do section by section, little by little. Sending you both good vibes and hugs from Canada.🤗
I know it feels overwhelming but she’s doing so good! Decluttering is a muscle that needs to be exercised. The more you do it, the easier it gets! Once she gets through the whole house, she’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment. A second round of decluttering will feel so much easier. I’m really proud of how well she’s doing. You are such a great sister to help her through this process. I’m really enjoying seeing your sisterly banter and bond as well.
I love how your sister gets going and you can suddenly see the shift where it starts to be so much easier for her to let things go! For sure she must be feeling lighter as time goes on! Nice job!
This is the PERFECT video to show why it’s wonderful to have a helper when decluttering! You both weren’t really feeling it, but you still pushed yourselves to go through two bags! AND these baby steps are exactly what we all need to make our homes peaceful! Really great job!! 🎉❤
You are so kind to your sister. Love the way you use humor to keep her going. I had a husband who was a hoarder. My son and daughter were an immense help after he died decluttering so I could sell my house. My son filled 2 dumpsters from the garage alone. They both helped me in the house. Sometimes I would say get rid of something and my daughter would say - no keep it. I had a cane back rocking chair that I rocked my babies in - but the seat was gone. I told them reluctantly to throw it out. They took it to a repair shop and surprised me with it for Christmas. 🥰
Hope that both of you receive some comfort from knowing that as we watch you do this work we too get inspired to continue our journey as well. Your not alone we are all in this together. Sending MUCH Love to the both of you. Stay encouraged.
The middle mess is so hard but soooo rewarding when you're finished. I love these videos because they show the real struggle with decision making and fatigue. It is so uplifting once it's gone. It may not feel like you didn't do much but it really is alot and the best part is you won't miss any of it. It really is a strange feeling to explain but its worth it. Great job to you both.
Ya'll are better than nighttime TV! I'll be moving soon and am not looking forward to going through this process. Thankfully, I'm more brutal when it comes to getting rid of things.
To Carla's sister: I'm amazed by all the effort you have put in so far. When I decluttered for the first time I could not do this much at once and it took me literal years. Although there may be still a lot to do, objectively, please realize how far you have already come and that you put in maybe several years' worth of effort in a way shorter time, with Carla's push and support. I am not surprised that you feel exhausted. This is not the time to give up, just the time for a break, to gather new strength, go back to your goals and motivations, look back on your successes and maybe fails and struggles, see what worked and what didn't and how you want to continue to reach your goal. I'm rooting for you and hope (and believe!) that you can make it happen, at your pace. Thank you so much for letting us in on your journey, and I am looking forward to see you continue and create a living space that you can enjoy!
The two of you are great together! Bibles, crosses and laughter. It’s goes so much faster with a coach to help make decisions! You both are helping so many of us. It is hard but the results are worth it! ❤❤❤
Sis was so tired but she did it. Two bags to donate, threw out some trash but what was left is now in its home instead of sitting in a bag of dread. This is a win ❤
Carla, your sister is the big sis everyone wants! Thanks for giving us a peek into your sweet relationship with her. She’s on the right track - one bag at a time! Even one small bag is progress. Love you guys!
You are doing such a great job Sherry with your sister’s help of decluttering your home. I know she is super proud of you, and as a fellow organizer/decluttering person I am super proud of you! You just gotta take it one step at a time, one room at a time just like Carla is helping you to do. It’s easy to get overwhelmed I know, but you’ll be so much happier when things are in their correct spaces and you have gotten rid of things you no longer need, no longer helping you and no longer bringing you any joy. You got this! Keep going!! ❤❤
Thank u Sherry for opening your doors to us! U know we are all at home, washing the dishes, putting laundry away, cleaning the counters, and decluttering our own clutter as u do yours? So thank u for your service today! Merry Xmas!
I have a few boxes and some bins that fall into this category- a catch all "for now". This is not a project that is fun to do (though I love how you laugh together!!!), but is is a great project to have DONE and be DONE with!!
Your sister is doing an awesome job these past weeks. I think she just needed the friendship and love of someone helping her. You can tell she's ready for the change but the job is big and hard to do alone. Every bag or box gone through is one step closer to realising her dream.
You all did great getting those bags out the room. Although most stuff is relocated it has a home. I had much smaller tote bags and one is in my desk I haven't touched it since March. Little bags are sometimes the toughest to declutter. Keep going it gets harder before it gets easier ❤. Hopefully, the office remodel gives you that hope and joy you need at the moment.

Yay, another big sis video. I love that she hasn't given up and kicked us out.
Me too
Hhaaaahaa, I do this with my tia and remind her it helps me too. No one want to be in an overwhelming situation and we love to read architectural digest. 🎉
Agreed. I look forward to these a lot and get excited each time I see a new one. Thank you for letting us into your house!
Ur creating a new reality with every decision! Keep going! It doesn’t matter the pace ur doing great!!
I was thinking the same!
Keep up the good progress. 8 years ago I helped my sister move…everything into a new home. After helping her all day, I went home and started cleaning out my home. A year later, my husband and I moved to a different state and it was easy enough because I had already decluttered.

Yes, the vacation rental. I remember how relaxed you said you felt. 🧡

Hang in there! You’ll be happier in the long run. Let it go so you can get your life and health back. Less stuff means less dust. Less dust improves asthma! You got this lady! Eye on the prize!

Other than that I haven’t missed anything. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤. You’re doing great!
I have that same rule. Haven't missed anything! I also agree my allergies are so much better since I decluttered.
Dear Carla and Sister,
Thanks you for the wonderful inspirational videos. They encourage me to tackle my decluttering projects. Little by little I'm making headway in my bedroom which is the most challenging since I moved out of the storage to help save money. I made a big dent today. YEEHAW 😅 Keep up the great videos and great work. ❤🙏
I went through ONE small drawer that had a little over 100 tiny things. Maybe about 4or 5 were useful to my current life. It was a good reminder that sometimes 95% or more of that stuff can go without missing it!
Yard Sales are for when you are constantly decluttering and maintaining your home. You need a good baseline to start with. Sherry is getting there!
Now that the room is getting decluttered we can see how beautifully she has it decorated, I love the peacock colors of the curtains ❤
I totally agree!❤️
Your sister does have some nice furniture, curtains, and decor in her bedroom. It will look great straight away after it’s declutterred because it’s already decorated so nicely.
Yes, it’s a pretty room and I love the colors!
Yes! I love the curtains and have been putting off finding some for my closets. It's going on my 2024 goal list
Im already laughing. The tattoo eyebrows in the bag with wood filler 😂😂😂 I love this series Carla! Your sister is such a good sport and she’s so funny. I love her personality and you two together ❤
Hahaha thank you ☺️ ❤️
Eyebrows, Wood filler, AND chocolate peanut butter.
I believe you two will get rid of a lot love seeing you two together laughing n having fun awesome
don't forget the light or whatever that "does" something!! I love this type of declutter so much. @@RCGWho
These two always leave me with a smile on my face. They always have a laugh together. Keep going ladies, you're doing awesomely. I know you have inspired me and probably a lot of other people 😍
Hey Carla’s sis, I used to be a hoarder at one point and my apartment was piled up to my shoulders all around me and sometimes higher. I know you are ready to be done right about now and it’s exhausting. It’s good to take a break and celebrate all the little wins. For me it was the moment I could lay on my bed and the piles didn’t reach past my eye line laying down. Then it was the time I got my kitchen to the point where I could cook and clean it all away. Celebrating gives you energy to carry on. So we will celebrate with you that these 2 annoying bags that probably nagged you every time you saw them have now gone, to be replaced by peace and calm 🎉

@@aliciaswaringen5732 thanks, it’s still a battle in my head at times but that sense of peace always makes me reset when things get too much.
I think that even when she decides to keep and/or relocate, it is getting things where they need to be. Then, on a second pass, she will realize how much of a certain category she has and will be able to let more go. Your sister is doing an amazing job!

I haven't even watched this yet but your sister made me laugh out loud when she shut the door in your face...
I am so impressed with your big sister and how she is willing to let us witness her transformation into someone who wants to live more minimally. This is such hard work, but every time Sherry gets rid of something it will become easier and easier. Thank you Carla and Sherry! ❤

We're all cheering with you, with every decision you have to make. And Carla, you are cracking that whip with humor and patience and love. It doesn't get any better than that!
Your sister got a really nice bedroom. I hope she enjoys it more when the clutter is gone.
I'm amazed at how fast a decision maker she is now compared to earlier videos. Way to go! 🎉
You two are so natural and relatable.
I feel like a sister sitting in the corner.
Thanks for those words Carla, I needed them to keep going, it's exhausting getting closer to the top of the hill

Omg Sherry with the leopard headband. I love this woman! Please keep us updated on her progress!!
I LOVE how you JUDGE but so gently.
❤😅😅😅❤😂😂😂❤😅😅😅❤
And the 'rowr' with the leopard headband... Can she BE any more adorable?!?
You and your sister need a SHOW. ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤
It's such a continuous cliff hanger!
Will she or won't she...
LET. IT. GO!?!?
lol 😂 she’s hilarious
It makes sense what you said that we can only change 20% at a time or it's too much at once.

Loved the intro! Your sister is doing amazing! She has let go of a crazy amount of stuff in a short time.
I am so proud of your sister fighting the good fight even when you both have decision fatigue. It's a lot keep up the good work ladies.
You've motivated me to declutter all my paperwork. A daunting task! I will start and finish this month. I don't want to carry excessive paperwork into 2024! 😢 Good luck
You can do it. I did. Took me hours to shred. Oh! Here's an idea. If you can't burn or shred, get a bin and place the papers in there. Add water and some sort of cleaner or dishwashing liguid. Let it sit overnight. Then drain water next day, shred papers in bin, leave in bin, and discard in trash bags or just throw away bin.
Wetting the docs will remove print off pages. Easier than shredding
I was procrastinating on discarding old taxes with the aferent documents. I own a business and I had about a banker box full for each year. I set up a rule that anything 9 years or older can get shredded. It took me weeks to shred everything, go through old documents etc. in retrospect, I should have piled up everything and taken them to a shredding company. It was exhausting, I had a ton of bags full of shredded papers, my shredder was overheating and shutting off, dust from shredding the papers was flying around... I'm now keeping up with all my paperwork, no more procrastinating! And I'm slowly going through my things and making decisions about what to keep. I've got about 4 Rubbermaid totes with Christmas stuff that I don't even use! I'm listing things for sale, donating the lesser value things and slowly making progress. I'm determined to not leave my clutter behind for my daughter to deal with after I die, I don't want her to hate me.
@@1whitecottagelife770 That's so thoughtful of you.
Tell your Sister she is awesome, lovely personality just like you Carla. Tell her dont be so hard on herself. Change is one of the most difficult things. She deserves points for all she has done thru out this whole process.
I’ve been binging on your channel getting some much needed decluttering inspiration.
Bravo ladies!! You are helping more people than you even realize. 🙌💕
Yay! Thank you so much 💝💝💝
Me too💖👏👏and + sense of humor + realistic process (*decision making)
Keep it up sister 👍🌼🌻

So true. Carla is definitely one of my favorites. I love seeing her sister Sherry and Samson who plays to role of a manager who sits by and inspects. lol
@@87suzini agreed! They are so realistic. My favorite TH-camrs are the relatable ones.💕
@@TheCarlaProject you ladies remind me of myself and my sisters. 😁 absolutely love your channel.
Thank you for sharing that things can become disastrous as they are getting better, this is the point where I have become very overwhelmed and worry about making a bigger mess.
…. Don’t forget donate is an option too…. 😂😂😂 love it
😂😂😂❤😂😂😂
I just love these! A real household, with real challenges, just like mine! Your humour and sisterly silliness is awesome. Keep going, Sherry! You will get there, all in good time.
I cannot believe how excited I am to watch this video.
The MYSTERY! The SUSPENSE! The CAMARADERIE!
I love your videos with your sister, she seems so sweet and hilarious sense of humor 🙂
She’s doing so well! She got rid of stuff even when she started off tired. In these cases, remembering “something is better than nothing” is important to remember AND y’all were rehoming items to their more appropriate areas, which will help in the inevitable second sweep.
Watching you and Sis make those hard decisions helps me when making mine. Living vicariously does help build the "I'd rather have the space vs. just "another" one of whatever it is and I chuck it in the donate box. Thank you both!
Love that! Thank you so much!!❤️
You are so blessed to have a little sister who understands, lends a hand and supports you through this process.
Lost one of my best friends of almost 30 years today. You beautiful ladies put a smile on my face and made me laugh which I so desperately needed. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ❤️! As always you ladies are knocking it out the park, well done!!
Sorry for your loss.
Ty!🥰 @angushenry
So sorry for your loss kelly😢
Ty!🥰@cynthia6771
Sending love & light ✨️
You two make me smile in my depression. It reminds me that I will answer that call from family and joke, not feel shame guilt embarrassment hiding disgust …..it’s always a fear especially with family.
4/2/2024. I'm watching ALL of your sister's videos. Y'all are DELIGHTFUL 🙂😅
Yay!!! The sisters are back!! ❤
I find the piles of unmade decisions so much harder then cleaning out a drawer. I have 3 big ones on my floor right now. Your sister is doing great.
What a BLESSING you two are. I wish I had a family member or loved one to care and help me.😢
Wish I could help too!!
Same here. It is always good to have a buddy doing this!
Thank you all
It feels like having decluttering buddies listening to the two of you! Great laughter.🧡
Wait until you introduce your sister to "Swedish Death Cleaning" lol! (jk! She's not ready for that yet!)
I'm so proud of your sister for the progress she's making! Keep on keeping on!
Yay Sherry! That’s 2 whole bags of mystery items dealt with, you’re doing better than me! Don’t give up, slow and steady and lots of laughs with that girl😂 you let in the house! You guys are the best medicine. ❤️
"Do you wanna keep it or are you being funny?"- "I'm being tired" i felt that.😀😀😀😀 Sooooooo much fun watching you.❤
Glad you enjoyed!😂❤️
Another great one Carla. Always a joy to see Sherry in a video ❤❤
I absolutely love your videos, especially with your wonderful sister! I really struggle to motivate myself to sort things out at home, for a number of reasons, and I really appreciate your kind, gentle approach to it. I’ve been watching/listening to your videos while tidying and it’s like having someone in the room with me, encouraging me to carry on with it. Thanks again and best wishes from the UK! x
Enjoying the laughter of sisters ❤
Great job. Decision fatigue is real! It gets easier with rest
I love your sister's determination and hard work🌻She has done remarkably well IMO, on her decluttering journey. You are a great little sister Carla for helping her out. You are helping her to get her life back, by helping her to create a peaceful space to live in. The bible and the cross made me laugh, ward off those vampires Carla.
Congratulations!! I would suggest putting her glasses in her sentimental box and have it accesible but looks pretty.❤ your videos!
Carla: you are such a kind little sister! You obviously love each other and also seem to respect each other a lot. Love to watch you two take care of each other.
Hello, I watch every video of your decluttering journey. Visualize yourself in your home the way you imagine it after all the decluttering is done. Know that every step you take you are going toward that vision. You will make it! Step-by-step, you'll reach your vision. I hope you are able to enjoy the process and comfort yourself knowing you're doing a lot to help your family. I love watching your videos and watching you determined to keep going even if you don't feel up to it. I'm so inspired by your journey❤
We have 2 new kittens/cats, so all of the Christmas presents are in my bedroom rather than under the tree. I cannot wait until the 24th (we open presents on Christmas eve) because I can finally CLEAN my bedroom properly - and do MORE decluttering/organizing!
It can be overwhelming to do so much decluttering at one time. It is good to take breaks. Your sister is making great progress!
I'm amazed how similar our clutter is. The bedroom is no different.
That intro was too cute 🥰
Also, love your sisters hair in this video!
You got this big sis! I can already see the changes just watching the videos you’ve been doing together! Keep going!
Best day ever! Get it to spend with you.
Never heard of the 20% rule. Interesting and seems to be true for me too. I get that panicky feeling when my husband wants to just toss everything.
Thank you for sharing with us the hard moments. when it all looks easy on shows that isnt honest. I really appreciate how realistic your videos are.
I appreciate that!❤️
One bag emptied, handful of things in their proper place and some donated. Every step is one step closer. Its a journey and takes time. Im glad you have each other to take the journey. Its beautiful and I appreciate that I can be a witness. Keep going! You will get to the end, one step at a time. You got this! ❤
Cords! I can relate! I have so many and have no idea what they are for! Sherry and Carla...ya'll are motivating me to take on my own clutter!
Wonderful!💝💝
Yes, this is the "messy middles" of a declutter. I've been there. I am sort of there now on a home remodel.
Please keep up the good work. It helps the rest of us.
I am cheering for you! For real I am sitting here and applauding every time you let something go and free space for new energy to flow in.
Watched your videos for a year now, but nothing beets these videos with your sister. They are amazing and really show how hard it is to declutter, especially those small decisions. Hugs from Denmark
I love hearing the two of you laugh😂❤! Even though your sister felt a little overwhelmed, I think she did great.❤ Anything is better than nothing! I decluttered my home onion peel style and eventually I did see the light at the end of the tunnel! You got this!❤ It's not a race, just do section by section, little by little. Sending you both good vibes and hugs from Canada.🤗
I know it feels overwhelming but she’s doing so good! Decluttering is a muscle that needs to be exercised. The more you do it, the easier it gets! Once she gets through the whole house, she’ll feel such a sense of accomplishment. A second round of decluttering will feel so much easier. I’m really proud of how well she’s doing. You are such a great sister to help her through this process. I’m really enjoying seeing your sisterly banter and bond as well.
I love how your sister gets going and you can suddenly see the shift where it starts to be so much easier for her to let things go! For sure she must be feeling lighter as time goes on! Nice job!
Keep plugging away. Tip. Black bag for trash box for donate laundry basket for relocate.
This is the PERFECT video to show why it’s wonderful to have a helper when decluttering! You both weren’t really feeling it, but you still pushed yourselves to go through two bags! AND these baby steps are exactly what we all need to make our homes peaceful! Really great job!! 🎉❤
You are so kind to your sister. Love the way you use humor to keep her going. I had a husband who was a hoarder. My son and daughter were an immense help after he died decluttering so I could sell my house. My son filled 2 dumpsters from the garage alone. They both helped me in the house. Sometimes I would say get rid of something and my daughter would say - no keep it. I had a cane back rocking chair that I rocked my babies in - but the seat was gone. I told them reluctantly to throw it out. They took it to a repair shop and surprised me with it for Christmas. 🥰
You must have the wrong address!!! Exactly how I would feel. This part is also the hardest for me, those little random things...
Carla, I am so proud of your Sister for letting things go. She is making great strides in being clutter free. And thanks to you for helping her! 👍
Hope that both of you receive some comfort from knowing that as we watch you do this work we too get inspired to continue our journey as well. Your not alone we are all in this together. Sending MUCH Love to the both of you. Stay encouraged.
Feng Shu her room then house when its all done!!! ❤❤❤
Had to pause right out of the gate...or rather at the front door....what a fun intro!
The two of you together are a hoot😅
The middle mess is so hard but soooo rewarding when you're finished. I love these videos because they show the real struggle with decision making and fatigue. It is so uplifting once it's gone. It may not feel like you didn't do much but it really is alot and the best part is you won't miss any of it. It really is a strange feeling to explain but its worth it. Great job to you both.
I'm so glad to see this! I'm in my bedroom trying to declutter and I need yall!❤
I love this series! You both are so nice and kind! Please don’t give up!
Ya'll are better than nighttime TV! I'll be moving soon and am not looking forward to going through this process. Thankfully, I'm more brutal when it comes to getting rid of things.
To Carla's sister: I'm amazed by all the effort you have put in so far. When I decluttered for the first time I could not do this much at once and it took me literal years. Although there may be still a lot to do, objectively, please realize how far you have already come and that you put in maybe several years' worth of effort in a way shorter time, with Carla's push and support. I am not surprised that you feel exhausted. This is not the time to give up, just the time for a break, to gather new strength, go back to your goals and motivations, look back on your successes and maybe fails and struggles, see what worked and what didn't and how you want to continue to reach your goal. I'm rooting for you and hope (and believe!) that you can make it happen, at your pace. Thank you so much for letting us in on your journey, and I am looking forward to see you continue and create a living space that you can enjoy!
“What’s this.. a cross?”
“Yeah it’s for you- to go with the Bible”
“What you’re trying to tell me”
😂😂😂😂
The two of you are great together! Bibles, crosses and laughter. It’s goes so much faster with a coach to help make decisions! You both are helping so many of us. It is hard but the results are worth it! ❤❤❤
This is my fav series and I look forward to it every week. Progress over perfection! You are doing great and it will all be worth it! ❤
Keep up the hard work! I love you guys filming together ❤️
We love the decluttering videos with your sister! Tell her to keep going because she is doing a great job!!!
Sis was so tired but she did it. Two bags to donate, threw out some trash but what was left is now in its home instead of sitting in a bag of dread. This is a win ❤
Carla, your sister is the big sis everyone wants! Thanks for giving us a peek into your sweet relationship with her. She’s on the right track - one bag at a time! Even one small bag is progress. Love you guys!
You are doing such a great job Sherry with your sister’s help of decluttering your home. I know she is super proud of you, and as a fellow organizer/decluttering person I am super proud of you! You just gotta take it one step at a time, one room at a time just like Carla is helping you to do. It’s easy to get overwhelmed I know, but you’ll be so much happier when things are in their correct spaces and you have gotten rid of things you no longer need, no longer helping you and no longer bringing you any joy.
You got this! Keep going!! ❤❤
Thank u Sherry for opening your doors to us! U know we are all at home, washing the dishes, putting laundry away, cleaning the counters, and decluttering our own clutter as u do yours? So thank u for your service today! Merry Xmas!
Sherry is a gem! I can tell she has a heart of gold. The both of you are so easy to watch and enjoy!
Maybe consider container concept vs relocate?
I have a few boxes and some bins that fall into this category- a catch all "for now". This is not a project that is fun to do (though I love how you laugh together!!!), but is is a great project to have DONE and be DONE with!!
Love this series!
A good question to ask your sister may be "Do you want to manage this item any longer?"
Your sister is doing an awesome job these past weeks. I think she just needed the friendship and love of someone helping her. You can tell she's ready for the change but the job is big and hard to do alone. Every bag or box gone through is one step closer to realising her dream.
You all did great getting those bags out the room. Although most stuff is relocated it has a home. I had much smaller tote bags and one is in my desk I haven't touched it since March. Little bags are sometimes the toughest to declutter. Keep going it gets harder before it gets easier ❤. Hopefully, the office remodel gives you that hope and joy you need at the moment.
Sherry will get there with your patient and help(love). Good job Sherry
You both are doing such wonderful work!
