I don’t see a problem with having your holiday decorations if you love them. I think the key is getting to a point where it’s manageable and you can access it and put it away with ease, keep up the amazing work xx
I'd like to see you try to get rid if another10 percent of each seasons stuff, I think that would be less clutter and still lots of decorating stuff. But you have done so well and come so far and I think living with your improved stash is a fine place to sit for many years
Yessss!! It’s the perfect goal!! Thank you so so much for sharing with us 🦄🌟💜🙏🏻
Ok, I know this video is a few weeks old, but I have to share this tip as a fellow ADHD mom. Take the rod and hangers out of the coat closet and put hooks on the wall of the closet instead! We did one row down low for the kids and another up high for longer adult coats. It eliminates the extra step of having to put them on a hanger (I honestly don't know why that's so hard, but it is! 😆), and it also limits the number of coats/jackets, so you have that visual signal of when it's time to declutter. Seriously, I don't say this often, but this has been a game changer for us! 🙂
I would consider myself a minimalist, but I have seasonal decor because I love them and they bring me joy! If you have something because you truly love it, that's not a bad thing!
Many may disagree, but I find having small wastebaskets in most rooms of the house helps me keep the micro trash at bay. It appears that having one near your table would be beneficial for junk mail, papers, etc. It works well so long as no one puts wet/leaky/food items in them.
I have "dry" wastebasket in each room. I made cloth liners and when they're full I empty them into the kitchen can with the plastic trash bag liner. The liners can be made from cute or seasonal fabric and washed periodically. No wet items like soda cans can go into the dry wastebaskets.
Yep! Large paper bag for recycling and a small trash bin ❤❤
THIS! I have to have a pretty basket that I use as a bin in every room, otherwise there will be wrappers, tissues, and papers everywhere 😂
I have a basket in every room. I never have to pick up trash before tidying. When it's time to take out the trash I take all the baskets and empty on the kitchen bag. I'm kinda weird because I keep the organic trash in a bin in the freezer. It doesn't stink.
It has taken me 50 years to realize that if I don’t stop and rest when I need it …that my body will force me to stop and rest because I need it. ❤️
Your pepper intros always make me smile :) ❤ she totally was like mommmm… I need a place to lay haha so cute my kitties are the same. Every box is a toy 🎉loving watching your journey and I clean as I watch too!
Watching your family work with you reminds me of the times I would call the family together to quickly tidy the house. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Keep as much decor as you want. This makes you happy and you shouldn't get rid of it. I guess people get a little impatient with you but it is so important to do it at your own pace with the energy you have with the techniques you can successfully follow through. You are doing great and i love how your family is helping you.
you should do whatever you want in your house. you decide what's best for you. don't get rid of stuff unless you want to. God bless you 😊
You are absolutely right my beautiful friend!!!! Thank you so so much 🦄💜🌟🙏🏻
Yes I just love what she just wrote
As someone with ADHD and mystery health issues to the point I use to crash every weekend. Rest is key and when I say rest that could be doing your crafts, watching a movies with your kids. Any thing that helps you feel recharged deep down. This has been a huge task for me cause it was not something I learned growing up, over the last year my health has shown me that it was a must.
Also not sure if any one has said this but have you watch Cass the clutterbug? Love her stuff, Im a cricket. Which means if i remember right that i love stuff to be micro organized and hidden. You seem to be a butterfly, a free soul. Like open bins with no lids so its easy to toss and go. You seem to like large macro categories when it comes to organizing.
I also just wanted to say I love the cat and i feel it was fate her coming into your life.
We had a yard sale this past weekend in Connecticut. 84* and it was a scorcher. We made $900 but it was EXHAUSTING. I'm still catching up on the house.
As far as ADHD what has helped out family stay focused is: DON'T PUT IT DOWN, PUT IT AWAY. And personally I always have to tell myself that multiple times a day so I can do something to it's completion instead of having a ton of little projects and to do's that are halfway done. Helps keep the house clean and less visual clutter and all those reminders of "you still need to do this or that" because I left that item where it doesn't belong. Much Love! Thank you for your videos!😍
DITTO! Sometimes I have to force myself to put things away instead of laying them down and then being distracted by ADD! And being CRICKET (Cass at The Clutter Bug) - it's easy for me to open a drawer or a closet and QUICKLY put an item away ....and then close the door. Cuz I don't want to see a lot of STUFF lol!
Yes to adhd “fly lady” :) I made my own list cause her list is too Indepth sometimes for me.. I’m not washing the baseboards 😅
Your decorations bring you joy. You reuse them so not wasteful, and you have the space to store a few bins for each season, I think you're good to go.
Since I've been a minimalist for the past decade or so, I can say that having at least one bin of decor per holiday is perfectly reasonable. Wondering who said 3 pieces. That's crazy!!!! Celebrate life with your favorite pieces ❤❤❤❤
I’m so glad you listen to your body and took a long rest. 🥰
Always look forward to your videos. I will gladly watch whatever you feel inspired to make. Fly Lady, A Slob Comes Clean…etc.
I’ll watch ANYTHING that helps with ADHD!! I like that you are working on being kind and accepting of this very challenging problem.
Lol!!! Right 😆 Learn and try anything!!!
Same here! Any tips for ADHD are more than more welcome
I agree with decorating for every holiday. I personally do that, because as a kid my home was unstable. I do the decorations for my kids, and they notice if I don't. Do what makes you and your family happy. 😊❤️
I love your positive attitude! I'm glad that you know yourself and what to declutter and what not. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
When it comes to seasonal decor, maybe keep a manageable amount and declutter the rest, if your still overwhelmed by it. No shame in seasonal decor. It can be fun if you love to do it.
One method that helped me with my ADHD-tendencies when it comes to cleaning up, was the Four Habits from A Slob Comes Clean. Dana has developed this method for people to who decluttering and organizing doesn't come naturally. She has a Blog and a Podcast on this. I feel like she struggles with the same problems that you do and I myself felt really understood by the way she describes the issues she is going through. I tried the Fly Lady Method but it just didn't stick with me. However, if you want to give it another try, I'd gladly watch you do so :) Everyone has to find their way in this jouney and you are doing so well already. You can be proud of yourself! I love your content 💖 Greetings from Germany
You are absolutely right my beautiful friend 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟 I will check out her methods for people who aren’t naturally organized!!!
@@ahoardersheart I hope her approach helps you as much as it helps me 🙏🏻 Dana also has a RUclips channel but I started with the podcast. The first few episodes are a great way to get started and see if it's for you.
I love Dana K White - she makes so much sense and keeps me moving forward - “do it now!”
Hello you're doing such a good job even your boys and even pepper she is so cute I think kitties keep the place hop in it makes a good vibe and she just makes me happy to see her cuz I love kitties ❣️😁🐾🐈
Oooooh- I love flylady, but I also struggle with too many tips. It overwhelms me.
Please make a video targeted to kids. My 5yr old really struggles with hoarding tendencies (big tears to part with packaging, things found in nature, part made projects like cardboard boxes). They say incentives work at this age to retrain her mind, but we haven’t had success yet. I’m trying to set an example, but still learning myself and I want to help her before it becomes a bigger issue.
We could really benefit from a simple message from you. Thanks for your wonderful work. You’re doing such an amazing job ☺️
When my children were young like yours Thursday evenings was house cleaning time. We split the tasks and with 5 kids and myself it took about 1 hour and a half to get everything clean and back in place. It worked well for us all working together to get it done as I also worked outside the home. Don’t worry the Hubby helped also doing the lawn and grocery shopping.
Yes please , I love the Fly Lady system 😊I enjoy your videos so much. Glad your feeling better ❤️
Body doubling ( ie doing tasks with someone else) is a legitimate/ proven strategy for folks with ADHD! If it works for you, keep doing those tasks together as a family!
seconded! when I have a friend over for food, I'll ask them to hang out with me in the kitchen while I clean up. works like a charm xD
This is one of the only methods that works for me. I can get sooooo much done. My problem has been finding a willing body double... 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I love how you end your videos with Miss Pepper! 😺💛
Thanks for the encouragement! You are such a blessing! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Would love to see anything that is ADHD-friendly. I also grew up in house where we decorated for every holiday andI still do it. It is a fun way to celebrate, even minor holidays. Keep on doing what you love.
Ms. Heart, can you make that area a “drop free zone” for yourself and your family? It looks like it’s the first thing that’s viewed when you open the door. You deserve to come home and be greeted with a tidy relaxing space.
Great that Pepper doesn't know what clutter is. She can find places to hide and sleep in the messy area and she is fine with it. I do the same thing a no spend year again. I have lots of decorations that I love to put out for many holidays. I have red, white and blue decorative Christmas tree. I keep it up and put different holiday colors on it.
I really appreciate how you use positive self talk in a really encouraging way. I like how you say it’s ok to fall behind and pick it up and start again and how you talk about doing bite size jobs and only continue with what feels comfortable with you. It is helping me change my inner dialogue and to be nicer and more understanding to myself and in turn to my family. Great job with all your progress.
The yard sale will be great when you have energy for it...The mind is willing but the body knows best .....rest.
Work, rest and play ..... Thank you for all the encouragement .... hearing the same encouraging words and thoughts over and over is really helping me change and take time to appreciate where I am. I’m loving the party decs and the fun vibes 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕🎈🎈🎈🎂
I feel that leaving the coats outside of the closet is a visual “out of sight out of mind” problem. If putting them in your chairs works for you, then don’t feel ashamed. You have a home for them and you are putting them there, so I would say it’s a success.
It was great seeing everyone pitch in and clean, I assume Pepper was supervising??? she does an awesome job!!!
I agree with Jessica, if you enjoy your holiday decor, keep it. No judgments here. Thanks for sharing, the house looks great
I really like how you change decorations for each season or holiday it looks great. Don’t worry about the yard sale it’ll happen soon enough 😀
Never apologize for decorating! We need to celebrate! Managing your inventory is the key. But don’t apologize for being you!
Happy birthday celebration! I love that you decor during the month for it-it is so cheerful:)
Great job in the living room-it is nice to see you working as a team in the family! Take care Mrs Heart, and wish you can find more time to rest! Cheers from Poland! 🦄 ✨ 💜
So very sorry that you didn't feel well. 😪 Glad that you're doing OK now. 💜
Sorry to hear you were so sick but so glad your better again. Fingers crossed 🤞 that your on target for next weekend for yard sale. I’m really looking forward to it. Delighted to see the whole family taking part in getting it nice and tidy again, well done 👏 everything. Pepper is a great supervisor too. Yes I would love to see your version of fly lady. Thanks for always keeping it real. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍🙏💪🤞💐🥳🐈
I'm going to revisit the Fly Lady again! But as you say - adapted to my style! So YES PLEASE to making some Fly Lady videos!
Awesome job 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m hauling out my vacuum. I know it’ll only take a few min to take care of the floor of my living room. As for seasonal decor, I also love seeing the bunnies, Santa’s, pumpkins, flags, etc. It “sparks joy” in me
Loved the video! Glad you are feeling better! I just love seeing Pepper!
I also decorate seasonally. I love doing this and creating pieces for each season. I declutter pieces each season, at both the beginning and the end of the season. I give some away and sell other pieces. Do what makes you happy so long as you don't have so much you can't keep track of it all! Nice job cleaning up your living room!
My kitchen is the drop zone in my house but i dont even care. I give it a good clean and tidy once a week. Dont feel the need to be perfect. You are awesome.
Great job 😊❤️
Don’t overestimate the simplicity of family fun day of cleaning and reset. Cleaning can be FUN!
Love Pepper and her motivation she has for you. My cat usually just stops, looks at me, sticks his tail in the air and walks the opposite direction! Lol glad your feeling better
Yesss ADHD version of fly lady!!! Pleaseee!!!
I tried and failed at the fly lady!
I have ADHD also! Lists and timers help me as well!!! Thank you for your videos they really help and I love your bubbly personality and calm voice thank you thank you!!!
I am Very Happy for the way you can clean up so quickly when you decide to do it.
I am sorry that you were Over tired 😫. Next week you will feel more relaxed with your tidy living room and the better temperature outside. 🌡 People will be out more in 70°.
My daughter and I are both ADHD and I refuse to be on meds because my cousin had a horrible experience that made him feel like a zombie. And I just want to learn how to work with our energy and our multitasking. Being a licensed cosmetologist I need to be able to multitask as much as I do. It's been a blessing in my career choice. Now I just have to find ways to work with my brain. I just turned 30 and I've been learning how to remind myself what task I'm doing like putting the kitchen towel over my shoulder to remind myself I'm cooking or doing dishes
or I stay in the same room until I'm done with that room and I just have a basket that goes into other rooms. I truly appreciate your videos because this is real life. I'm great at getting everything done but sometimes things only get done halfway because I found another task that needed me more
Love that wreath you made.
My son has adhd and he has never taken any medicine either. He deals with it same way - to do lists. Calendars. He’s messy but he does like you and knows ok it’s time to clean up!
You and your husband have been working so much. I'm glad you took a break!
Thank you so so much!!! You are the Unicorn of the Day 🦄💜🌟🦄💜🌟
I still have some Easter decor up, too. It happens! It's ok!
I throw mail in the recycling every day. I have a small waste basket in each room. I use a paper bag for recycling. Every day, I give away or throw out at least
ten things. I have a big bag and a box for Goodwill. I fill a bag or two for the food pantry each week. It's a constant project. You are getting stronger.

I tried FlyLady years ago and...it was overwhelming for me. I'd be super interested in an ADHD friendly version!
Check out flylady kat. At declutter your life with fly lady kat. She is amazing and following her methods is what’s working for me. I’ve stopped trying other methods.
Love watching your videos. I think the new decor piece you made looks great on the fireplace.
Recently found your channel and binge watched several videos. The basement declutter series are my favorite. Anyways these videos helped me tackle my pile of mail I was putting off. So thank you so much for the motivation.
I like FlyLady, but to me the most satisfying videos to watch are the decluttering ones. Love when you show things go to the give and take bin, or the curb for trash day, that is really motivating to see.
You gotta do what you gotta do, though!
I love to decorate for seasons! Doesn't everybody? 😆
Red, white & blue is coming up for a couple of months.
For the coats, what about hanging an over-the-door row of hooks on the outside of the coat closet door? If you’re a visual organizer that might work better.
There are coat hooks next to tge dining table. I am confused as to wht miss hear said she didn't have any x
@@Spikeswift maybe they just aren't sturdy enough for multiple big coats!
@@Spikeswift I saw those, but I think they might be for the kids. They’re hung quite low.
Nooo flylady…yes to Dana K white. Fly lady is too overwhelming and overly structured. Dana’s is just straight to the point and I just resonate. Her method has made a huge difference in my home.
Another fantastic job congratulations 🎊 so glad your feeling better 😀 😊 💜🦄
Thank you so so much my beautiful friend 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟
Love the use of the frame and wreath! Looks so nice on your fireplace!
Tiny idea: what‘s in the basket left next to your shelf? It could be a designated landing zone - what if you push the shelf a bit to the left and have space for the basket right in the visual field when you enter the door: boom, clutter contained. Could work for your bags when you come home from work so they don’t lie in the middle of the floor. Get well and recuperate! Even if we don’t get a video, you need your rest!
Greetings from Germany ❤️🎈
There are bags that u can purchase off amazon. They have a zip lock style closing and they r bigger in size. You can store family games in them and they fit in square bins so the cardboard from the games can be decluttered. I do ours like that and it really helps does help with space getting rid of all those bulky boxes!
Awesome job to the whole family!
I hope you will find a way to get a better balance between work and free time. I'm glad that you did the living room with your family, I think that they are more than happy to tidy up and clean together with you. Lots of love and take care!
Great job!
September 2024. I don't own a journal or planner. Never did. I grab a junk mail envelope and make a list. I mark future items on the big kitchen calendar. Very little on the fridge. Tina, Al's wife
9/2024 do you still have so many coats? Tina, Al's wife
Have you seen Bailey from the MiniMom here on RUclips she does FlyLady her own simplified minimalist way. She has a ton of videos and her content is always amazing.😍
I love your holiday decorations! I wonder if when you decorate and you pull out the bins, if you put what you love out and then later decide if your keeping what wasn’t put out?
I would love a FlyLadyPlus series from you!
Getting a lot of great responses for it 🦄🌟💜🙏🏻 Definitely going to write it out and record!
I’d love to see the “Fly Lady” stuff! Go for it!! 😎
Great video! Hope you feel better soon! The garage sale will happen sooner or later and it will feel amazing! Have you tried spraying cat nip on Pepper's scratch post? That's how I got my kitties interested in theirs initially 😻
So sorry you was feeling bad But glad your back to normal great team work on the living room 😍🥰 .It's funny how time slips away from us while we are doing other things. We also put are coats and jackets on the chairs but lately it's been driving me crazy 🤪 lol glad summer is here. Good luck on weather and sale
As always, I loved the video. I have also found that accepting that I will continue to make messes and just finding better ways to clean them up later or reduce them is a lot less pressure than trying to change who I am and be clean and tidy all the time.
well done for honouring yourself
Yes, flylady. Routines I think would be good for ADHD. Do not need to think, just follow list. I am glad you recovered. You seemed exhausted.
YES! I cannot put a coat in a closet! that is too hard for me. we have hooks by the door, and that works for me. do whatever works for you.
would you consider to buy or craft/ create yourself a story tray with wheels? You can dump all your things once you get home, you could put it in the same place where you put your things on the floor, this might help you with the organization and it'll be easier to carry things around the house
Having fun seeing Pepper. I had Christmas decorations items waiting to go into our under townhome crawl space up until February. Just too busy caring for her husband who had a stroke and lost use of his right arm and hand. Love your inspiration videos. You are doing a great job with all you have to do. I take a daily multi vitamin with iron which helps with my fatigue.
Also i like to do one big clean and one small declutter. For example i can pick up and clean my room fast and then take time to declutter and re organize just the closet or my desk or something like that.
If you use it, it's ok if you have that much decor pieces. And I have to my easter decor out. It's joyful!
Use what it is working for you in the flylady system, the secret slob modified it for her, you could do it too!
If you want to do the flylady check the secret slob. She had condensed some of the list. She is on youtube
I LOVE the unicorn cat house for you!!
So glad you're feeling better! Good job, everyone! Everything looks nice and tidy.
Thank you so so much my beautiful friend 🦄💜🙏🏻🌟
Enjoyed watching this video. Have a lovely day!
I just love you super positive attitude. I have been struggling with down sizing my decorations too.
I will like to see you try Flylady againg. I watch you traing the first time after i discovert her and i think at that moment that you were over-complicating it. You may try to do only the baby steps one at a time and reading the daily mail.
Love it!!!
Thank you so much 🦄🌟💜🙏🏻
Yes! fly lady system is why i initially started watching your channel :). Always inspiring to see your videos!
Oh then the answer is definitely YES!!! Lol Thank you so much for letting me know!!!
@@ahoardersheart Never had a reply from Ms. ❤️. I’m feeling very special today!!
Today before you uploaded the video I decluttered and organized lots of medicines and other medical supplies at home. I enjoyed the family video and waiting for yard sale and basement declutter videos soon. Keep it up, Ms Heart!!
I love the fly Lady and I love you too. I just found you today and I am so excited.
Love Flylady. Would definitely watch you tweak it for you. You're doing great
Love the frame and wreath!
Put hooks above the bench as u walk in. It would help keep the backpacks tidy!!
