- In the first part of my upcoming declutter series, I start with decluttering our ridiculous amount of clothes, and make a start on reducing the amount of toys scattered all around the house. I hope you enjoy!

My dear child...I am 67 years old and live in USA . My husband died 6 months ago and my daughters are grown and gone. Enjoy your life even the messy house. You will miss it as I do. God bless you dear! I Had a very small house when children were young so I completely understand. Focus on the good and not the bad. Be happy you can walk and move to clean. I am sending you a hug.
I was crying just now when you mentioned anxieties and that you want people to know they're not alone.Thank you!
You motivated me to sweep the hallway from my living room to my kitchen and to fold the blankets I just washed. Thank you! Baby steps…
OMG Ike falling asleep in your arm while you're sorting with one hand was the best. That image right there was motherhood in a nutshell.
What a lovely selfless person you are. Not only do you clean your own house, but you long to clean houses for those who can’t and for nothing. I’m so glad you can have driving lessons now. You deserve them. Seeing a good declutter is so satisfying. Thank you.😊
Love you
From holland
I agree 💯
Very good work God bless you and your family 💞 you have a wonderful day ❤️
I'm going to be decluttering my house tomorrow morning and see how much I can get done with my house tidy and clean up wish me luck 🤞
She is amazing
Never found cleaning channels for me untill yours! Real, authentic and so motivating, keep going ❤❤
This has absolutely made my day! 😭❤️
@@remiclog Wow, so great I could make your day too, and that we can find a sense of community online with people ❤️ I keep procrastinating lately because of overwhelm, got plenty projects I want to do and get started, but when and where to start 😅
I just ran across your channel. I really enjoy it. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I have my days that I can’t do anything but lay on my couch. It’s helped me watching this. I will keep watching. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless you. ❤️🙏🏻✝️
So pleased to hear it’s helped a little! Sending love ❤️
Just wanted to reply to your comment, and to say that you are not alone - I have the same. It is really comforting to listen to a kind and positive person like Remi when we are struggling. Sending you big hugs 💛
I am an older American mom to adult children and grandchildren. I just want to let you know how much I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You’re real down to earth and absolutely adorable. I hope your channel just continues to grow to help you with some income and to give you an outlet for anything you want to talk about. Good luck on the decluttering. I did that a few years ago but time to do it again. Have a wonderful and beautiful day.
Screw the judgements!!!!! You put a name on my issue. NO ONE has ever done that before. I can’t thank you enough. Listening to your videos has helped me to find a beginning on my own battle with clutter. I’m almost 57, but I want to be like you when I grow up….lol. You’ve done more for me than even my therapist or doctors ever have.
I’ve been loving your videos since I discovered your channel a couple of months ago. You’re such a lovely soul. Here’s a little something to help for your driving license
Omg!!! I can’t thank you enough!! 😭 thank you thank you thank you! ❤️
I love how compassionate you are about the ones you are living with...💞IT is so soothing listening to you
Remi I never usually comment on videos but I’ve just discovered your channel. Watching your videos is like having a coffee with a friend. Thank you for being your authentic, positive self ❤
The joy at seeing this at the top of my feed after a gloomy Monday… love your videos. So soothing and warm ❤
Oh this makes my heart so happy! 😭❤️
I just love now your toddler helps out and then falls asleep as you keep sorting… so beautiful to watch
🥰
I love you and your videos!
Been inside with 3 kiddos all day, working from home, cleaning after them as they've been trashing the house all day and trust me when I say, I'm ready to walk out lol.
You really help me find a fresh perspective on mess and dealing with the overwhelm of it.
Thank you!💓
Oh I believe you! It’s such hard work, and you’re doing amazing ❤️
Your voice is so calming... you are an encouragement to all of us! You are indeed a blessing to many! ❤🙏❤
You have no idea how you are helping me at age 74! I am preparing to move from the home I’ve lived in for 46 years. You motivate me. I adore your accent. Sending you hugs from Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA
Good luck for your home move 46years is a long time living in the same house sure you will enjoy your new place Next Wishes from Scotland 🏴
Sorry should read Best Wishes apologies
Thank you Remi. I’m constantly decluttering but really starting to be more ruthless now because I need the space now my children are grown. I now watch your videos as a treat to myself every time I’ve cleared more stuff! I absolutely love your wise and insightful narratives. ❤️
The way you just rolled your baby to the pillows for his nap... Smooooooth 😂👍
😁😂
I took your advice and donated my clothes I don’t wear anymore thinking I will get down to that size but at 77 years old it probably won’t happen. I donate to battered women missionary place. I felt better knowing they were so excited to received them and some had never been worn. I got rid of so much that my closet it beautiful. I might even do more, I don’t work and I’m home most of the time except Church etc. so don’t need as much. Your declutter helps a lot of people keep up the great work I enjoy your voice on the voice over you touch my heart. God bless you girl coming from a little town in the USA state of Washington
Since I'm a 62 year old Grandmommy, the house doesn't suffer much clutter, but your videos are helping me FINISH cleaning projects that I've started and struggle to complete! They've also helped me keep from beating myself up about a lazy day or starting a project that can't be completed in just one day! The house is way too big now for two old people who's children have all grown and moved out, so it can be very overwhelming. Your voice-overs are very soothing to listen to, and I can truly say they've been such a help!
I'm not a mom, but I understand the anxious thoughts that you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. You are teaching me to be more gentle with myself and accept myself the way I am. You're a lovely person.
One of the greatest feelings of decluttering is when you have dropped it off at the charity shop
Definitely!
Your house is a home so it gets messy sometimes but your boys are loved and if it means cleaning or making memories with our children memories our children win hands down 🎉 they grow so fast
The little gremlin on your shoulder telling you that you’ll fit back into those old clothes is so relatable haha. I just can’t let them go 😢
I kept clothes that did not fit me any more for years and years, finally decided to get rid of them. Started intermittent fasting and lost 14 kilos in about a year. My treat is that now, I get to buy new stuff as a reward! Love your videos!
I love modern family. I describe it as chicken soup for the soul. I'll never get bored of it and I always listen to or watch it to help me feel calm.
Oh my goodness it definitely is, so wholesome, it’s one of my comfort programs for sure ❤️
@@remiclog glad I've found another fan 😄
I actually printed off a quote and framed it, from the punkin chunkin episode where Cam talks about dreamers and realists.
Never apologise for the length of your videos - I could watch you and listen to you all day ❤
It’s lovely to see the boys play instead of a mobile phone or iPad. I think No technically to a child after 10. They are losing there years on them instead of making memories with there mates parents etc. ❤❤
I love having good smells around me, and I love plug-in flameless wax warmers. I have mine plugged in to the wall above my kitchen counter where the kids can't reach. To change out the scent you just unscrew the light bulb and put the wax warmer in the fridge until the wax hardens. And it pops out with a butterknife! Your videos and your talks are lovely and inspiring. As a Mom with some challenges, your stories resonate with me. Rock on!
Oh my goodness little Ike snuggling up with you to be loved and cuddled to sleep ❤🥰❤
You are blessed!
Beyond words! 🥰
Is Ike done nursing?! I noticed that as well... so precious
I thank God for finding your channel! I see so much of myself in you and I love listening to you while I clean my home, it helps me feel better about myself instead constantly belittling myself for making the mess in the first place. ❤
Thank you so much for motivating us and being so honest and vulnerable with your thoughts and feelings! I think I can speak for most of your viewers when I say - we simply love you! 💕
Absolutely loved watching wee Ike fall asleep in your arm(s) as you're dealing with the clothes, Remi. Super precious. He knows he is well loved! You are an awesome Mom!! ❣💖
I love watching your video's from begin to end!❤
I also have health anxiety. Thanks for sharing your story.
What really boggles my mind when your videos is how easily and peacefully Ike can sleep anywhere 🤯 my toddler is a kid that needs a bed, a dark room, a noise machine, etc. This is probably because I taught her to sleep this way, not because she actually needed it. I’m in awe of your little babe!! That’s so great!
You’re such a breathe of fresh air! I personally am a neat freak but you are so real, so likeable, and obviously such a lovely mom. I enjoy your videos so much!
Thank you so much! Glad you’re liking them! 🥰
You are a real gem Remi. I love your voice overs.
Thank you so much! ☺️
I’ve cleared out seven black bags of old clothes and toys last week. SEVEN! Such a good feeling ✨
I bet it was! Amazing!! ☺️
Yay!!! I’m happy that you can soon have your drivers liscense! Bravo. You deserve it.
Thank you so much! ☺️
I relate to you so much. I have ADD and I can’t get one thing done at a time because I’m all over the house. And I stay very distracted. But I just got caught completely up on my laundry after about 6 months of grief hoarding and not caring about my house. I love your videos and thank you!!
I enjoy Modern Family also! The laughter helped me get through some hard pandemic days. 😊
Your videos are always so uplifting and honest - something so rare on the internet. Im tired of watching fake people with stupidly expensive houses full of fancy stuff i will never be able to own. I love how real and honest you are. You are such a positive light while still being realistic. Much love to your and yours.
Can I just say thank you! I've struggled massively with motivation the last couple weeks and after watching a bunch of your videos, I finally gave my bum the kick it deserved and I've started sorting the mess, bit by bit! But each day I will get closer to getting back to it being clean and tidy! Xx
Another lovely video, Remi Dear.... Where does the clutter come from !!! LOL. I did a massive declutter 2 years ago and find I need to do another one. You'd think at 80 I'd have it all together but not so. Love to laugh with you and I do admire you so much. Your hair is so very beautiful..Fondly, Dorothy. Edmonton, Alberta. Canada.
You are one special soul ❤❤🙏🏼❤❤
Touches my heart to see you cuddling your little Tot, Ike. And you continue sorting thru & folding reams of clothes! Makes me tear up! I wish I’d done more of that with my one & only daughter - though she was a very slow nurser & I’d let her take her time, so she did get held & cuddled - and I did let her nurse until age 4 - last two years was just comfort nursing when she fell or was poorly - still I feel I could have done more cuddling! You go ahead and cuddle your boys as long as you want! No family put on Mom’s gravestone “Her house was always neat & clean!” They put words like loving, caring , beloved Mom. That’s a thank you for all the time spent cuddling.
Awww I also nursed my eldest till his 4th birthday, like you, the last few years were just once at bedtime. I plan to do the same with Ike, unless he decides he’s done before that of course 🥰
I am so happy to have found your channel. Love them. 😀
The first video of yours I watched was you cleaning your auntie’s house. My daughter has a mental illness and recently moved out of the family home she was staying in by herself for 3 years. I was out every 6 months to deep clean and decluttering the space. I’d be exhausted and I couldn’t help it, I felt resentful. It was always such a mess and because I needed to sell it someday to repay the loan, I was anxious that it’d be ruined by her mess. Very similar to your aunts but picture times 10. I’m not well physically so I was just overwhelmed every time I saw her and the mess. I love her to death but it just made me feel like I failed her somehow. Now, because of your videos I’m starting to understand why she couldn’t keep the space clean. Now that the she’s found her dream accommodations, I won’t be cleaning up her again because she’s moved out. I had a cry about that too because I love her, no matter how messy she is. Thank you for helping me understand how her brain works. This understanding is helping me repair our relationship.
Your videos are doing wonders for my anxiety! So calming! Thank you 🙏🏼
You have such long, gorgeous hair! I know it sucks having it down when it’s hot, but wow, you’re so lucky!
You have given me inspiration today. My anxiety is high, but I have a feeling I'm going to be very productive. 😊
I am having to do a huge "cleanout". I've had to combine my house with my parents. And I have a major mess that has been going over 3 years. My mom went into the nursing home and my Dad was not able to live alone. I'm an only child and happen to be single with only my youngest son (who is 44 and developmentally delayed and partially physically handicapped) living with me. Did I mention that I'm 65?...lol! So it was just something I had to do. But decluttering and downsizing gets so overwhelming to me. Even though I want to do it, it gets daunting! Not only do I take care of my son and father, but I worked a full time job from my home. Fortunately, I worked for my son and took care of the bookwork for his businesses. Watching your videos and hearing what you have to say about putting our life first has really hit home to me. I finally got to retire from working because my son found a fabulous secretary that I felt comfortable knowing she would take care of his businesses as I felt they needed to be. So, I am trying to slow down and take life a little more as it comes and trying to stop stressing about what is not done. Thank you young lady, for the encouragement that you give everyone!
How much effort you put into these videos just blows me away !
What a successful decluttering! Well done lovely 👏✨ it just goes to show how safe, happy and loved your children are, that Ike crawled into your arms for a nap ❤ that made my heart swell
Thank you for being such a positive presence in a world full of judgement, criticism, negativity, and hate. Every time I watch your videos it warms my heart and lifts my day. You are a true source of light in an often dark and difficult world. ❤
Thank you for your hard work. I have depression and am a single mum of a high functioning autistic child and always feel like things are to much. You have helped me feel like I'm not a failure. My son is 21 now and I have been dealing with everything myself. So thank you for all you do. You have done more for my self worth than a lot of things I have tried in the past.
I kept a lot of baby clothes that were sentimental. My daughter had my first grandchild last year and she has fun going through them to pick out “vintage” stuff for her baby.
This video was so relatable. I was holding onto 3 trashbags full of pre-kids clothes. I bawled on the floor while bagging them up, I mean ugly cried. I didn't realize how attached I was to that clothing. It was an unhealthy attachment, one that made me feel like a failure for not getting back into them yet, and an immense amount of guilt for purchasing clothes that I haven't used in years. It was such a freeing experience to finally be done with them while I continue on my journey to healing my body and mind.
Love your videos and how real you are. I also struggle with keeping things tidy and you make me feel ok about it! So I watch to get motivated and to feel better about my housekeeping!
Thanks, I washed my dishes while you decluttered🙂. I can happily listen to you ramble on for hours, you're such a lovely human!
Thank you for giving me the motivation to clean up my depression mess! I was on top of it for so long and then life happens 🤷🏻♀️ but I know how good it will feel afterwards 🙏🏼
Thank you you so so much! Sending you so much love and strength ❤️
I love your videos and listening to you chat about whatever you fancy talking about. You are so motivating and I always do some cleaning or tidying whilst watching and listening. You are an inspiration! And your boys are utterly adorable 😍 Good luck for the rest of the declutter, I'm looking forward to the videos ❤️
❤😍❤ Thank you so much! Your attitude is so positive and encouraging...it makes me feel I can do it! ❤❤❤
Wonderful job! Little man sleeping while you worked was lovely and your oldest helping you to clean his room was a joy to see.
Just found your channel. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety and having troubles with keeping on top of the mess in my home from time to time. I want to say thank you for being so open and honest with your struggles. It inspires me to declutter myself. My tips for the lost socks thing is to put all the used socks in one of those laundry bags used for bra for example and put all of it into the laundry.
Please don’t be hard on yourself, I’ve been there and come out the other end now enjoying grandchildren playing and making memories. When I was a young mum fussing about work, cleaning etc my husband always said to me what will the children remember a clean house or a visit to a beach, a park a picnic in the park, a picnic on the floor if it’s raining etc etc. You are doing a great job and your family will have wonderful memories when they are adults. Xx
When you were holding your baby boy while still sorting clothes was so precious! So "Mom" of you. You are so wonderful and I just love to hear you talk! Keep up the wonderful work Mom! ❤☺
Delighted to hear you mention Dr Mindy Pelz and intermittent fasting! She is so knowledgeable and gives such great advice. I'm starting on a huge decluttering and tidying journey today and will be playing your videos plus Angela Brown's 'The New Tape' and Jessica Heslop's 'Cleaning Motivation' as inspiration. I loved the part where you cuddled Ike with one arm and continued sorting with the other 😊
No need to apologize and ignore the haters! You're such an inspiration!
Great watch/ listen. Managed to clean my kitchen cupboards out and felt like I had a friend in the room.
Take care and Thank you again
Thankyou so much for your videos, im going through my menopause and getting stressed out about my house and keeping on top of everything was impossible and I was sinking in to depression, you have lifted me and give me the motivation to carry on,there are professional people out there that have passed lots of exams to help people with depression,and they can't do what you have done for so many people you are a beautiful person and I wish you and your family a wonderful life ❤ ❤
Love your videos.
I once read somewhere: "cleaning while there are children present, is a bit like brushing your teeth with Nutella."
But you are doing very well.
SO TRUE 😂
I always love all of your videos. Thank you for doing what you do & being authentic. Cant wait to see more videos in this series!❤
You are so kind; it's very soothing to watch you clean and organize and hear your lovely encouragement!
Remi I’ve learned to not be so hard on myself and if I don’t get it done, there’s always tomorrow.
Exactly! ❤️
YOU made it possible to get driving lessons! You’re absolutely phenomenal ❤ I’ve been rewatching your videos, full adverts, and you’ve helped me go through my brother’s and mum’s items that I inherited upon their deaths. Took me four years to get to this point and it’s you who helped me so much. You are not being fancy or putting items away in bought products that are not necessary, with your hair and makeup perfect! Brilliant attitude toward life with wee ones. Ours are grown and on their own now. It flies by so I’m even more grateful that I spent time with mine and binned things when they were asleep or at school. I almost miss stepping on a Lego in bare tootsies…almost! 😂
Also, I use old socks for dusting or for really dirty cleaning - just chuck them away after x
This is actually the best idea ever! X
If all the children in the country had a mum like you there’d be fewer problems and a kinder society to live in.
You are not alone in having "Cruel Clothes". I finally departed with DECADES old clothes that did nothing but make me feel sad and a failure because I am not shaped as I was in my 20s-30s. Once I let them go, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I might not have dropped 20 pounds in a weekend, but I dropped a couple of bags weighing out 20 pounds. May we continue letting go of things which no longer serve us, except to make us feel unnecessarily bad.
I love listening to your stories, and I totally felt like I was visiting with a friend ❤ ty so much for helping other moms feel at home here 😊
❤️🥰
My 3 year old insists on mismatched socks. My husband put some on him last night while he was sleeping, and he woke up just enough to ask, "are they mix match?" 😂
I used to make sock puppets for my kids years ago with odd socks❤
I absolutely love this!! 😭❤️
Decluttered a corner i kept putting off for months with your video in the background. Thank you. I love listening to ppl talk❤
Your videos always feel like I'm sitting having a cup of tea with a dear friend. Thank you so much for that! I love how encouraging and genuine you are, even about your issues. God bless you. :)
You’re lovely. Thank you from America for making actual content I can relate to . As someone w pain and depression ( my dad is v ill) - just putting a special request for a video in which you list out suggestions of steps in each room . I want to say thank you I am basically playing your content and gradually in a very small small increments chipping away at my mess which is to do with sadness and pain. Thank you, love your voice and love your wonderful positive acceptance messages
I love your videos. I live in a camper, and talk about small, i've been putting off decluttering for months. but now i'm on a roll thanks to your videos.
You are such a beautiful soul. I find your TH-cam channel to be very uplifting and thoughtful. What really matters to you is what really counts, love of family and friends.
You have so much wisdom. Love your videos. God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Thank you so much! 🥰
@@remiclogI'm a neurodivergent kinda gal myself, a mum, anxious, adhd, creative type and you're the only cleaner who motivates me. So much that I have yet to visually watch ⌚ video. Ha😂 I actually move and am able to get things done. I love the story you told in one video about yr dad. He made the affirmation app, you said, and I thought, so has she!!! Your dad must be so proud of you, love! You send us all such powerfully motivating and grounding messages that remind us to appreciate our messy lovely lives, to do the mundane little acts for family with love. Ignore any negatives as best you can, bc the good you're doing is coming back to you, I'm sure of it. I hope you make this a full career! You're gonna go far, and you may not realize that 31 is young but it really is!
I love to hear you talk. My late mother in law was born in Liverpool. She came to the states and raised 10 children. The youngest of which is my husband of 20 years! I miss her voice so much and listening to you reminds me so much of her. Little words she'd say....for so many reasons you're a salve or a balm to my rough adhd, anxious brain. Hugs from the US. ❤ prayers for safety protection happiness and abundance to you! ❤ this was so long. 😂 hope you see it. But being adhd myself is understsnd if you never get to respond. It's more important that you hear love back than anything.
You’re such a sweetheart. I suffer with depression and I have had issues with cleaning up. One day I’m a slob, the next I’m a clean Queen. ❤
You are such a Beautiful breath of fresh air! I too adore Dr. Mindy Pelz! Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you for your honest, informative videos.❤🙏🏻
Thank you for your video, I did need to see you doing what I sorely need to do.
I’m so glad to be of help! ☺️
I'm feeling awful today and I was beyond happy when I saw you posted! You lift me up! Much love to you and your fam
I have to declutter my baby (not baby anymore) clothes and accessories and it's so hard. I find extremely difficult emotionally because he was a miracle after years of infertility and I thought I'd be able to have a second and years of infertility again/later it seems ill never have a second, so letting go is hard. I've packed it all up and will drop off a box at a time to charity until reality sinks in and I let go of hope and move on. Little steps but it's needed there is soooo much stuff.
Loving your videos. Listening to you in the background sorting through my youngest boys closet that I shoved all of his toys in when we moved “months” ago. I’m getting there! I have a soda problem too, sipping my Mountain Dew along the way. I’ve cut back some. Baby steps to a better life :) thank you for the videos!
You did such a fabulous job with the declutter!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I resently stumbeled across your videos and have watched them all because you sound so lovely. My partner has ben in hospital for 3 weeks now and night time is quite lonely so just hearing you chat away just helps :) thank you.
I keep my clothes, too!! Lol! I put them in a tote and put them up in the attic. I got my driver's license for the first time when I was 29. I understand. 🤗
This was a good one for me. I've been trying to declutter, to part with clothes that will never fit again. And now I have a bunch of really nice things from mom's house (she's just moved to a seniors residence). No room, too much stuff
Loved it! I myself is on a health journey and discovered Mindy a few months back, changed my life! I must have lost at least 20 pounds since then, I have more energy, feel better and I don't have the feeling of starving myself. So glad you found her! Thanks for all your videos, it really help knowing I'm not alone with my mess!
