If it makes you feel any better, when my husband and I decided we wanted to downsize once we knew the kids were getting ready to move away, it literally took my a year and a half to declutter our basement. It was awful. Part of the problem was just what you described: feeling of overwhelm to the point that you do nothing. We downsized to an apartment, and never looked back. I never want to live in a house again, but if we do end up doing that someday, I told my husband he'd have to find one without a basement. We simply cannot be trusted to not fill it up with crap. Hang in there!
Wow, thank you for sharing your story!! It must've taken a lot of commitment to stick with it till you were finished!!! That in of itself is commendable that you didn't quit when it was hard.
I promise once it’s all gone you will literally never think about it again. I have been a minimalist for years with 4 kids. ❤ I don’t regret anything I have let go of. The hardest part is deciding to let it go and then letting it go.
🥹 thank you for the encouraging words!! You are entirely right, once I drove all that stuff to the donation center I barely remembered anything that was in those piles. 🙌🏼
Hi there I have been watched this kind of content for years and years and to be honest your home isnt too bad, I have seen so much more clutter, and having 3 children in 4 years who really wants to tackle clutter. This helped me to stop over consuming asking myself have I enough and 9 times out of 10 the answer was yes, so I would just put it back onto the shelf and this stopped me buying unnecessary junk. Hope all goes well with the house situation, you are doing so well, all the very best.
Hugs, sis! everything you said here I can relate too, i've been doing decluttering sweeps throughout the year for the sake of my head space... and your home isn't too bad as mine, but its good you have a grasp of the hoarding tendencies this early in life. Stay awesome! Also the song you choose for the video 'Socialite' is such a bop! :)
New subscriber mama! You are doing great! I had three babies in three years and now six years and then we moved from a large house into an RV to travel three years ago. It’s not easy, but worth getting rid of the extras. I’ve let a lot more into our RV since moving to our property and getting a shipping container for storage, but now with baby number four almost here I’m feeling such a huge urge to let go of the extras again. I want to move into our house that we build with very little and the ability to make it the home we want right away.
I have adhd and im struggling so bad. I love organising though so deep down maybe thats why im a hoarder so i can organise 😂 if my house looks clean its because everything is in the back room. You did good!!
My hubs and I just decluttered a week ago of you're not the only one that lets stuff pile up to the eye balls 😳😂 I hope it makes you feel better knowing that . once things are clean it does feel so nice ,so different lol
Decluttering kids clothing etc. is difficult bc it proves impermanence. In many cases it is acknowledging that having children is over and in others, children don't remain little. We get older and so do they. Be gentle with yourself.
This will be hard work but a "blessing in disguise". Find Bea Johnson's book to give you a guide. Also research estrogen. It is a mechanism that csn give ADHD like symptoms also peri menopause. I am not diagnosing you just giving topics to support your change.
Estos días he pensado mucho en lo que mi mamá y abuelita hicieron por mi cuando era pequeña y pensé que era imposible tan grande e increíble labor, luego pensé en ti y vi como te esfuerzas y solo el Señor me hizo saber que en todo hay temporadas donde no nos sentiremos los más expertos o los mejores pero el nos capacita y se que el Señor te ha hecho una gran mamá ❤️❤️❤️ estás haciendo un gran trabajo y se que inspiras a muchos ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹🌿🌿🌿
Es muy cierto! Y aveces el sentirse capaz y no sentirse la mejor pasan dentro de la misma hora, Jaja. Siempre cuando me siento débil es otra oportunidad para que Dios me muestra que no lo puedo hacer sin Él. Muchas gracias 🥹🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This video was massively motivating! Decluttering as a mom is definitely on another level haha
It really is!! I'm so glad that it motivated you

You are so sweet
Wish I could come help you. I've decluttered my home and life is so much easier as a mom now.
Aw thank you so much
" we can paint later,but not right now" 😂😂its my life as well!😅
XD It's a constant battle of trying to be a fun Mom and also realistic so paint doesn't end up everywhere.
I literally said that to my kids today too haha
I'm a minimalist, but I do rotate my wardrobe per season or I just wouldn't have the room since I do live in a smaller home

When your kittens stop tearing up your curtains. Lol. It will be around the time your cats start ; ) lol ❤️
Just kidding. They might be chill.
🫠🙈 hahahaha they have mellowed out quite a bit since I first started filming this video, so we will see!! 🤞🏼

You are entirely right, it's the impermanece of childhood that gets me every time. Thank you for the reminder to be gracious with myself

You are not a hoarder!
You are not at the mercy of your environment or its occupants.
What does this mean?
