Ohhhh, you’re so right!! I sometimes forget how I hard it was to let go of 3 or 4 items in one session! Thank you for that gentle reminder my friend 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🩷
The fact that you can do a whole house declutter and it really makes a big difference shows how far you’ve come! I’ve been watching since the incognito sunglasses days and I know it won’t mean much from a stranger, but I’m so proud of you! The house looks amazing! The zero hesitation of tossy tossy makes my heart happy for you and your family! Great video and great job! ❤❤
I love garbage & recycling day!!! It encourages me to go around the house & find things to fill up the trash & recycling cans!! 😂❤ haha it’s pretty funny how excited I get! I feel a little disappointed when the big bins are not fully filled to the brim, but I guess it means we’re doing a good job not buying wastefully 😇 yard waste on the other hand- I really got to start working on before spring comes. Then I reeeeally run out of garbage space 😂
Proud of you that your decluttering muscles are so strong that you don't need to see/show the tossy pile, you're ready to move faster. You've come so far over the years!
I know it's been mentioned but it would be a great idea to create a games shelf in the basement for games you aren't ready to give away. You have younger family members that could play them when they visit. Who knows, you might feel inspired to gift one of those games if they really like the game.
You won't be lifting for awhile after surgery though. Take care of yourself and heal first. Best wishes and praying for you. Ask God to help you and your dr. that they are given wisdom and a good nights rest before. Trust God to help you and He will.🙏🧸
I can’t believe how far you have come! A whole house declutter? Your consistency and new habits have paid off in a big way. There is a lot of hoarding behavior in my family, so I know the mindset shift that had to take place to get to where you are today. Incredible.
I am going to go and toss out a dead plant I've meaning to throw away but haven't gotten around to- thank you! And I hope you recover quickily after your surgery!
For freezer burned fruits and vegs (minorly freezer burned) if you run it under water before using or cooking it, it gets rid of the freezer burned taste so you can still eat it
Freezer suggestion, measure and get 2 metal baskets, same material as the stands. Stack the stuff like files and it is easier to get to them and you can take the basket out to find the stuff.
Hi, I've never had much stuff. I discovered minimalism in 2015. Since then, I've tossed at least 20 items each day. Three(3) of us live in a 2BR apartment. My husband loves papers and anything that belonged to his folks. My daughter has keepsakes, art stuff, and clothes. I'm 74. Tina, Al's wife
Hello from Germany, hi Miss Heart, miouw pepper.... Hope the next, time after you Hospitaltime, you can rest well. You can be so proud of you, Minimum time in every room and its looks nice. I'm on a "swedishdeadcleaning" in my aunties Home. She ask me for this .... She is over 65 has many Problems with her Mobility. We rock it and i tell her your story....
Thinking of you as you continue to prepare your space and your heart for your surgery and recovery. Sending you lots of support and prayers as you rest and cuddle Miss Pepper and receive extra love. 💕
That’s my plan for today. Right after work yesterday, I tidied my craft room pile of stuff from Xmas like gift bags, tape, small leftover gifts, etc. today is get the trash, donations and recycling out. Inventory the deep freezer to make a menu so I can get some of that hoard used up.
I love how quick you can declutter and clean now! Ans those small sections are a great idea and a great way to have not only a more clear and spacious home, but also give the energy and set a good mood ans mindset, when you can see how much you've accomplished! You really really rock Mrs.❤:) Cheers to you and your loving family! I am sure the surgery will go all great and you will recovery in no time, with lots of love from all at home and in this community! 🦄💕
“Start where you are’ is a great tip. That was brilliant. Did you even spend 10 minutes in each room? Well done as always. The boys are doing very well. Yes every younger sibling wants the older ones stuff but I think you will be surprised how quickly it’s left go too. Miss Pepper is enjoying the decluttering tour around the house. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏👍💪🙏💐🐈
Great job! I remember the first time you did a whole house declutter for as part of a collaboration and how scared you were. This one, you just seemed to fly through. Bravo!! I'm sure your post-surgery self is going to be glad you did. Praying your surgery goes well, and that you can give yourself a lot of grace in your recovery process to allow yourself to just rest and heal.
I always feel when de cluttering the one in one out rule great guide line for some of us that still like to have stuff,, good job today good luck with your operation ❤️🤞🏻🙏🏻
Something that helps us with items in the freezer is using baskets. We date the item before putting in freezer with sharpie in big numbers. We use one basket for leftover pizza, leftovers for lunches in top left basket. Top right basket is for broths. Bottom left is for frozen veggies, and right bottom is for fruits. Processed items go in main freezer. We don't use many of these. When the basket is full, we don't purchase more. The container determines how much goes in the freezer. We check before going to the store. Also, we try to clean it out often. We also try to eat leftovers often so they don't pile up. This is really working for us. It is very visual and works for what we buy. Saves a lot of waste. You have to make it work for your family. Meat goes in baskets in the main freezer. Chicken in one etc. Each package is vacuum sealed and large expiration date is written on the top right of the bag. It is filed with oldest in the front. Hope this helps someone. Less to manage is what we need.
I'm very impressed that you were brave enought to declutter the whole house in one session! That's confidence and progress! Well done! Also, best wishes on your medical procedure. Remember that you are loved! 💜
i am impressed. your hard work these past sevearl years is really paying off. such a gift to yourself and the family. an orderly house they can maintain as your recover.
Your choices for decluttering in each room shows off how much you have recovered in your hoarding. It seems like most of the issues were ADD related. So fun to see your quick clean ups.
Awesome work, you seem so uplifted by this quick decluttering and tidying, it's nice to get quick results (it shows all the hard work you have put into it the last years!) ❤❤❤
I have watched a lot of your videos, please do not take this as a negative response. I have noticed your laundry area seems to be the one area where things are stored for awhile. I had this problem with stacking stuff on my dresser. I did a no drop off challenge , I couldn't put anything on my dresser.,I used your idea of a no spend challenge for the month using the calendar you made. It has cleared my habit of dropping stuff on my dresser.
Phenomenal job!!! I love how far you have come and I love all the progress you share. Hugs and prayers for a successful surgery and healing recovery. The Lord has you!
Awesome job 👏 you are preparing for your downtime. Praying for recovery 🙏 Please share how well the shower cleaning wand does and what/where you got it! ❤
Oh my gosh definitely try out those washing machine cleaning tablets! My brother got my mom some and the gunk that came out of our washing machine was amazing. I would recommend using one and then when thats done running another cycle with the machine empty just using hot water just to make sure everything is actually flushed out before putting clothes in. Plus one box will last you all year!
Excellent you should keep up these mini room declutters by doing them once a week for an hour, or they could become an on going series of 30 minute tiny tidying videos to inspire others and to help people who don’t have ‘body doublers’ to declutter along with to help motivate them.
I started watching you a few months ago and I've watched every single video now. It is truly astonishing how far you have come. You are an inspiration to many. All the very best for your upcoming operation and recovery. Take care. Liz from Troon in Scotland. xx
Wow, this was so good Mel! You’re really good at decluttering now. And your spaces are under control compared to what they were before so well done! All the very best for the surgery and I will be keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery xoxo
Congrats on being able to make a video like this, you've come a long way! I think you could get another smaller box or cup for the restaurant condiments, one organizing tip (can't recall exactly who I learned it from! 😢) is to put items in containers the same size they are. So the big condiments bin is too big for the small condiments and they will get lost. Also for your freezer, do you think bins/wire baskets might help with organizing? And if you are putting your decorative pillows in your bedroom on the floor when you sleep, maybe a designated basket to throw them in might help.
I think it helps to think of returning spaces to "start" or "first position" rather than "emptying them." We're not losing anything, we are just tidying stuff up so that we can use what we have. (I really like those washing machine cleaner tabs, by the way.)
I haven't watched you in a while! Holy!!! You are doing fantastic!!! I'm amazed!! A few years ago this would have been really hard for you. I'm proud of you ❤
Every three or four months do a pantry/freezer/fridge challenge! Give yourself a small budget( like $15 per week). Then plan menus with what you have. Do it for 3 weeks . You can see what’s being eaten and what isn’t.
fire extinguisher, flashlight, batteries, battery operated radio, extra food/water, medical kit, do you have these? I hope so. important to protect your family
August 2024. I've been going through my craft items. I find beads, buttons, and other craft items to give away every single day. I have one glue gun and two bottles of glue. There's always more to toss. Tina, Al's wife
In the shower be sure to check the flip tops of the containers, especially if not used daily . . . talk about toxic 😱! Just don’t ask me how I know 🤣🤦♀️
Your decluttering muscles have gotten so strong. You did that like it was nothing. Well done.
Ohhhh, you’re so right!! I sometimes forget how I hard it was to let go of 3 or 4 items in one session! Thank you for that gentle reminder my friend 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🩷
Love this! Mini declutters in each room to chip away seems to not feel so overwhelming👍🏼Thank you for the motivation!
Yessss!! We’re still decluttering in each space and letting go of a lot of stuff!!! We’re making decluttering a positive experience 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🩷
The fact that you can do a whole house declutter and it really makes a big difference shows how far you’ve come! I’ve been watching since the incognito sunglasses days and I know it won’t mean much from a stranger, but I’m so proud of you! The house looks amazing!

You really have come a long way. You decluttered everything so fast. Good luck on your surgery.
Amazing job! Love the reminder that small declutters and cleans can make a big impact. 💖
It definitely does 🙏🏼🦄🩷🌟🦋💜

I never thought I could do a complete house declutter. You have shown me how I can do it! Thank you! Really inspiring!
WELL DONE ! Wonderful work ! 2024 starts with a great win :)
Yesssss!! I have some big dreams in 2024 and this sets the tone that we can do it 🦄🌟🩷🙏🏼💜🦋

Good job! Im itching to get back to the basement.
Oh yessssss!! We’ll be getting back into there for sure!! 🦄🙏🏼💜🌟🦋🩷

For me...as long as it's my own home I really don't mind cleaning 😂 I love cleaning a lot seriously I spend a lot of time at home during my holidays 😅
I can’t believe how far you have come! A whole house declutter? Your consistency and new habits have paid off in a big way.

Your prayers bring so much peace to my heart, thank you my friend 🦄🙏🏼💜🌟🦋🩷
Shower cap suggestion, hang it from a hook from the shower curtain. Looks better, easier to get and dries faster.
This is amazing to see Miss Heart! 💪💪🦄🦄
❤❤❤
Excellent job! I love quick declutters and tidies. They really help so I can get to cleaning more easily.

Meal planning has saved me SO MUCH MONEY! Not much gets tossed because it is expired.
Look at you!!!! I'm so proud of how far you have come. You are such an inspiration!
I’m very impressed with the pantry upkeep! Well done!
Great video and great idea for a video! You made such a big difference. Inspiring!!

Great job! You are making so much progress!
Yay! Make something better today. So nice. I cut up old papers that needed tossed. Saved some space where it goes.
I'm on week 4 of having a clean kitchen island .
Clutter makes cleaning harder because it hides the dirt.
fire extinguisher, flashlight, batteries, battery operated radio, extra food/water, medical kit, do you have these? I hope so. important to protect your family
Yes you are so much quicker to identify tossy tossy!!
Mrs Heart, could you tell me what kind of spin bush you used to clean your shower?

I miss the old dedicated decluttering videos 🤔
You should watch a video from PCRM.
In the shower be sure to check the flip tops of the containers, especially if not used daily . . . talk about toxic 😱! Just don’t ask me how I know 🤣🤦♀️
❤❤❤😊
