The comments you make about being to tired when you’ve only started or you look at your mess and your so overwhelmed and throw up your hands before you get started sounds so familiar! I’m not alone!
Ummmmm I'm tired b4 I wake up
Or is that on a whole nother level 😮🤣😘
@@pinkrainbowkennelz1640 same!
Thank you for repeating that the conditions don't have to be "perfect" to clean something that is stressing you out. I just stood up and spent half an hour clearing my bedroom closet. It's not clean, but it's 30 minutes better than it was before. Thank you for the motivation!
_One shelf_ . Struggling with anxiety and depression. I just start crying. I'm so overwhelmed.
Please continue to share your story of becoming a minimalist!
Ummm hiii! New here and I’m loving your vibe! You are awesome! Glad you got rid of so much stuff!!
Your the best always so simple this is why I love your videos Kim plus love that you support everyone
Kim @thewads you’re amazing too. Y’all ladies get the dang thing done. Xo. I love it
Kim, I love your content too. You are hilarious!!!
You should keep that wooden trunk from your wedding. Maybe use it to replace one of the cheaper plastic or fabric bins. To hold doll clothes or use as her baby keepsake box or store the clothes she wants to keep for her future child.
So true! Thank you for being here! My husbands grandmother was names Gertrude too! 🤍🦋
Unless she doesn't ever want kids-
@@sussybaka5201 Then she can use it for something else... Jeesh
@@lan3yl3aby I'm just saying :/
You could use that chest as a Hope Chest. 👰💍🤵
I love your videos and how honest you are😊 When I have anxiety I feel the need to clean because it makes me calm. When I declutter and clean my home, I feel like I clean inside my head, you know? My anxiety gives me like ”motivation” to clean and declutter because I just wanna run away from the feeling anxiety gives me, and cleaning does that for me even if I don’t have huge messes.
You are doing great and so proud of you. 😘 Hugs from Sweden.
Hi Tove! YesI I can relate to everything you are saying. It's just my kids suck my energy to do it most days (they all have special needs that take up extra mental and physical energy in my day) and then I get depressed for what I didn't do. I love cleaning and Cleaning is my therapy! LOL! I have an Etsy t-shirt shop and I made shirt that saids, "Cleaning is my Therapy". lol! That is how much I can relate to what you said. I have been that way since a young girl. Cleaning helped me clean the mess of anxiety growing up. Thanks for sharing your heart. I appreciate you being here! Stay Mighty! xo
I would love to go on this decluttering journey with you. This was so motivating! Thank you!!
Hi Jennifer! Yay! So happy to have you here! Let's do this! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
I agree
Thank you! I also suffer from depression, anxiety, etc. I have so much decluttering to do, so please keep up the great videos! Thank you!
Hi Valerie! You can do this! Just start small and go from there! I am always here for ya and I will continue to share my minimal journey as well! Thanks so much for being here! xo
Found you recently and you have quickly become one of my fav channels to watch. You're a breath of fresh air. I relate to you so much. I'd love you to keep decluttering.
Hey Kristen! Thanks girl! It really mean alot to have you here and know that my videos are actually helping. Sometimes my perfectionism makes me feel like my videos are not good enough so thank you for letting me know. I appreciate you being here so much! Let's keep decluttering together! We can do this! 💪🏻🙏🏼🤍🦋
Hey Mighty Mamas & Mighty People! I hope this declutter with anxiety & depression helps to motivate you to start your decluttering in your home. It is an entirely chatty video and I am sorry if that's not your thing but it was helpful for me to talk myself through the process of decluttering and I wanted to share those feelings and thoughts with you all here in case some of you share the same struggles. Remember you always have the option to mute me and play our own music if chats are not your thing. Thank you all for being here and being my support and motivation in this journey! xo Stay Mighty! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼
If you are new here and want to begin this journey here with me from Day one be sure to go back to this video and start here: ruclips.net/video/BasRjAIve44/видео.html
I love your chats. Talking always helps a lot. 💜💜💜💜
I also love your chats 🙂
I say chat your heart ❤, I'm interested in you and your journey and not mindless cleaning...
@@carynwood9158 amen to that. 😌
I want to follow you all the way with your declutter 😄
yay! Let's do this thang! xo
same and I just found you binge watching
Just ran across your channel. Always trying to motivate myself with cleaning videos. Problem is that I can’t relate with any of them. So grateful for you right now. Your honestly and openness is really helping me. I’ve cleaned more today than I have in forever. I can relate so much to your childhood and your situation right now with the anxiety and depression. I really appreciate you talking about all of the things that you are. Please keep your commentary about all of these things. It really helps some of us to relate. Things are tough. I want to hear from someone else that it’s hard. I don’t want people to make it seem simple because it isn’t for me and it isn’t for so many others. Thank you, thank you!!!!
God bless you! It’s so true when you mention stress mess. Reducing my visual clutter has helped a lot with my anxiety. Good luck on your journey! You’re doing great!
Thanks Ana!
Yes! Exactly! It’s less overwhelming when doing small bits at a time. Our bedroom is the worst room in the house and it’s slowly getting better. Then after the bedroom, I’m going to do the kitchen again as it needs to be reorganised as well. It isn’t working, and I might declutter a bit more as well.
Also, I love seeing the declutter videos, it’s so motivating to see others doing the same thing! :)
Less stuff less stress! Totally true! I feel so heavy and overwhelmed when my home and surfaces are cluttered. Literal and figurative weight taken out of the house when I declutter.
I enjoy watching you declutter,you are motivating me.
There is a saying I once read that says
... “You will Never see a UHaul behind a hearse “ basically we can’t take any of the material items we have here on earth with us to the grave ... I LOVE your videos I definitely needed your motivation!!! 💖
True :)
There's a similar saying in German: "Das letzte Hemd hat keine Taschen", which translates to: "The last shirt doesn't have any pockets"
I always found it helpful to declutter 4 times a year. Before Christmas, before birthdays, before school started and when school ended. I have 5 kids and 4 are girls. Things got cluttered quick. I felt like I could breathe after decluttering.
Yes! Great idea!♡
Yes, please continue with your decluttering journey...I'm sure the end result would be worth it ....looking forward to seeing more 🤩🤩🤩 Decluttering feels soooooo good....
Kids learn by what they see --they often mimic what you say and the things you do. Good job working so hard to make things simpler for your daughter!
I love hearing you chat while watching you clean. It’s really helping me. I need this. Please keep it going. 🥰👏🏻
It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. There was a memory in each item you touched. Kudos to you for doing it.
You did an amazing job I need to do this and go through my husband things he passed 2020 I still feel broken 😢
How fantastic! Do keep some of the most precious baby items. I even have one of my baby dresses that mom saved for me. I'd love to see the combo of cleaning and decluttering. I'm working on getting ready to do my spare bedrooms closet. 😊💕
HI Robin! Yes! The combo sounds like a great plan! I am loving that idea! I actually am guilty of cleaning while I was decluttering this day but I just didn't film that part. lol! My perfectionism just could allow me to hold back. lol! I was not supposed to be cleaning! Only decluttering but the struggle is real! lol Thanks so much for being here! xo
Allowing yourself to not deal with the small toys section was eye opening! I lose steam when dealing with the many, many tiny things. It's okay to come back to it later. Thank you so much for opening your heart and home to us. 💞
Over compensation from past hurts is a real thing. Before my grandma passed, she asked me to help her declutter. She was ashamed of all the clothes she had collected that she never wore, claiming she grew up during the depression and never had any clothes. I admired her honesty and willingness to let go.
You're doing great, don't give up on yourself. The fact that you objectively analyzed your belongings instead of getting offended when people said you have too much stuff, says a lot about your healthy progress. You're amazing.
Also, using the treasure chest fr doll clothes would be so cute!
Definitely interested in more decluttering videos!
Thank you for sharing your story about your grandmother. God bless her soul🤍🙏🏼.
One of my fears in having the clutter is leaving the burden of it all on my children some day and so that is my number one reason behind this Messy to Minimal journey here. And it worries me that my daughter would have difficulty parting with it all knowing that she is sentimental like me. I don't want to put her in that situation one day. Your grandmother will always be in my mind as I declutter. She will be an added motivator for me. I understand her shame in the clothes. I have the same problem and I will be sharing that too. Stay Mighty and thank you for being here. You are helping me so much! xo
so happy to have found your videos. I am bipolar, and I struggle with depression and anxiety . Decluttering tends to be a bit of a struggle at times.
thank you for sharing and for being vulnerable. I can relate and will be joining you on your journey with God's help. new subbie here. thank you and be blessed!
It is so great that you share yourself. It took me almost forty years to realize what my clutter/hoarding was from. I had a similar child hood life, in the aspect of not having things I needed, etc. etc.. I'm really proud you figured it out now! I enjoy your journey, makes me think of including it to part of my new channel ideas. Thank you so much!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I really like watching the videos of you purging every room in your house. Its starting to look AMAZING! Be sure to get it all in the car RIGHT NOW! GO NOW! You will catch yourself going back and taking stuff out! Not a good idea. Go NOW! I really want you to do BOTH!!!!! Get busy girl. Your daughter did an amazing job. Love how she labeled he Declutter pile and all kids should go with you to take it to your dropoff. They need to see it through!!!! Thats an important step for you all.
I love your honesty
Me too
This was the best video I have ever watched, it helped me so much with decluttering, some of the words that came out of ur mouth just melt my heart ❤️ you did AMAZING!!!! This is my favorite video from any channel!
This is beyond motivational... it's inspirational and I can't wait to see more 😊💖.
Your honesty is so cool. This was so motivating, im doing the same in my house. I've become obsessed with living with less and decluttering. It feels amazing to have free space in places.
I am loving the decluttering! Its so freeing!♡
The honesty and transparency here ... I’m choked up. I feel this video deeply. I’ve never seen any of your other vids before but I am rooting for you and so proud of you, mama!!! Subscribing now!
Thank you Mirielle! I appreciate you being here and motivating me! I have several videos if you want to go back and start from day 1 of this journey. I just posted a new one yesterday too!♡
Something that helps me with getting rid of sentimental stuff especially is knowing that you always have the memories/experiences and the items don't keep the memories. 😊
Very true!
Also, you can take pictures of sentimental stuff before decluttering it.
Recently I sold a ton of retro video games and consoles which my late brother and I played with when we were kids. I never used them anymore, they just sat boxed up on a shelf and in the basement. It was really hard at first to let go but it became easier and easier with each item I sold.
I kept the pictures of the games and consoles I took for the ebay auctions on my computer and can look at them to refresh my memories anytime I want to.
@@MrGrumpyGills that's a wonderful idea, glad you can still enjoy those items 😊
If anyone is telling themselves that keeping “stuff” will reinforce their memories of people and events when they become old, don’t believe it. Many of my memories are gone now, and “stuff” does not bring them back. At all.
So true, BUT it can also be useful to create a Memory Box for those special things -- then you know where they belong + when it gets full, you can see if there are some things you're ready to part with. But either way, good luck on the journey!
@@Saforra99 this is also very true, definitely different things work for different people in decluttering journeys! I have a keepsake box that I could never imagine parting with. Things from my ten year relationship and my son being born and such.
Sentimental items mean different things to different people, don't think I'm just like throw everything away. 😂 it's up to your discretion.
You're awesome! Thank you for sharing from your heart! When letting go of sentimental things, I remind myself that NEW happy times are coming to me, and there will always be enough love and joy. Bless you!
Oh my gosh your story of growing up is me! I totally over compensate for things, in my life and in my kids lives, I think I am trying to make sure they have more than I had! And you must be similar in age to me cause I know exactly what you were taking about. My grandma shopped at yard sales and second hand stores and loved to buy clearance items and I got a lot of hand me downs from my cousin. I always wanted a trapper keeper, one-year I finally got one, my grandma had got it in clearance at the end of the previous year and I took that thing to school all proud only to be deflated by a girl who always had everything all the time. She made sure to point out to me that it was last year's version and asked me if I got it at a yard sale.☹️. Past experiences can really impact our behavior.
That's a great declutter!! Great job mama!!
Well done Mama I think you did amazing ! Something you might find helpful when starting to declutter is to start in a room/space where your not faced with sentimental items (like a bathroom or kitchen). Kinda builds not only momentum but also your decluttering “muscles”! Much love from Australia 🌈
Great idea! This makes perfect sense! I wish I thought of that first. lol! Thanks so much for being here! xo
You got rid of so much!!!! Thank you for inspiring me to tackle some areas in my home ❤️
Mighty Mama, watching your videos have motivated me so much. Thank you and keep going! You’re doing fab! 🏴👍🏻
I truly admire what you are doing! I understand the feeling that too much stuff results in the stuff controlling me instead of serving me and mine in a healthy way... When I de-clutter, I often feel a sense of freedom and control of the home environment. The stress along the way dissipates pretty quickly now and the relief and sense of significant accomplishment moves in. Great, great job!
I just found your channel because I needed some company cleaning my house and I LOVE your channel! You make me feel human. Thank you!
It always feels so good to declutter. Thank you for sharing all of this.
I've listened to "Goodbye Things" for free on the Libby app. Congrats for being open to suggestions and starting to declutter. It has really helped me with my anxiety and depression. I also think it's helped me to not put too much pressure on myself to just get rid of everything. It helps me to do multiple passes of decluttering. The 2nd or 3rd time I'll find things that I couldn't let go of the first time, but is easily let go of now.
Thank you! I have to check out that app! Yes! I definitely need to do another declutter in that room again but for now this was all I could handle. It was emotionally draining but I think second time around I will have more courage about it and hopefully less emotion. Thanks for all your wisdom and support! I appreciate you being here! xo
@@MightyMama the audiobook is also here on RUclips! Just use the search bar.
Fabulous to see how much you were able to get done! I, myself, love the decluttering videos (without cleaning)...so I'll keep watching to see when you put more of those together! Thanks for this video!
Thank you for your videos and your honesty I struggle with anxiety and depression everyday on disability because of it cleaning and maintaining my apartment has become so hard for me it is a struggle to complete any task
The struggle is a lifelong battle but we can stay on top of it and prevent it from sucking us down any longer. It will never be perfect but we can create a clean happy home that lessens our anxiety and prevents us from going into a depression. I have found that doing a little each day makes me feel like I am accomplishing something and keeps me in better spirits opposed to not doing anything and then feeling like a failure about it. We have clean. It's just a part of life in order to live healthy and just recognizing that if I want to live happier then I have clean each day. I am striving to push myself harder each day to get the depression mess and clutter behind me once and for all. I still have a very long journey ahead of me but the little progress each day makes me feel successful and motivates me to continue. So start small and keep adding to that. If I can do this you can do it! I am always here for you Donna! Stay Mighty! 💪🏻🦋🙏🏼🤍
I'm decluttering with you as well. I started two weeks ago. I just finally said I'm doing it. 😌
Hi! You did such an awesome job! I have OCD so anxiety is a constant struggle for me as well and I’ve been slowly trying to become more minimal throughout the pandemic. I watch videos like yours to get inspired and I’ve probably decluttered my whole apartment 7 times already, each time I’m able to get rid of a little more. It’s incredibly stressful so I’m here for you! I want to get to the point where I’m at peace with how much I have and that hasn’t happened yet. It can be so hard to let things go with anxiety. But I hope we can all work through this together! 😊💜 looking forward to more of your videos!
I’m so proud of you! You did such a great job! I’m 55, So old enough to be your decluttering Momma. It feels SO GOOD To Declutter! God bless you sweetie! I did clean with you. 👍
I just want to applaud what you're starting. I keep hearing you say you're doing this because of your childhood. Let it go. You're children are in a completely different environment. Holding on to their toys that they don't want isn't going to keep them little. You said an amazing thing in there; "now other kids who grew up like I did can have access to this now." That's what matters...keep up the good work. I know its hard, but you can do it!
I think mixing cleaning and decluttering videos would be great. That way you feel motivated to do both and also the cleaning doesn't get out of hand.
I loved this video so much. Wish you the best! ☺️
Great idea!! That makes so much sense! Thank you so much for being here! Stay Mighty! xo
Oh - I'm 100% on this SAME journey and sharing extremely similar content (from an Australian perspective). Mindset is half the battle isn't it?? Thanks so much for sharing and building this beautiful community of self compassionate and loving mamas doing their best and striving for improvement not perfection. Love your work! x Mel
Hi Me!😂 Thank you for your kind words. I will go over and check out your channel soon! Us Mamas need to stick together!♡ Stay Mighty and you are always welcome her to share your heart! We all need to unload at times.💪🦋🤎🙏
@@MightyMama 100%!! Mamas for mamas
Yes please continue with the decluttering and it's going to help you a lot with your mental health ❤
“Stress mess” absolutely!
never heard it said that way before and boy did it hit hard. Everyday life was hard enough to get through most of the time. I have health issues that make getting out of bed most days difficult. So when there is so much mess it takes longer to find things,the walls feel like they are closing in on me, (which triggers my depression and anxiety)I can’t find things so I buy more,etc..
There was always so much stress all day all around me.
I have noticed Since starting this journey lately most things have their own place now and there is an ease with getting things done now. Less “stress mess” = much less “life stress”My mood and energy are so much better.
Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️
Omg! This is me right now! I've been going thru anxiety and depression and my entire house has become cluttered! Within the last couple days, I've been watching videos to help minimize everything! So tired of being stressed from everything looking messy.
I did the same with my kids. I always got them all kinda toys and clothes and shoes, cause I didn't have alot!
Hi Kandy! I am so happy to have you here! You said those magic words, "so tired of being stressed from everything looking messy"! Thats it right there! Thats all you need is to Want to clean it up and see a clean and clear home! When we decide we really are done with the stress mess we will be able to tackle it! Great job & Stay Mighty! You got this Mama! Life is happier in clean & clear spaces! ♡
You are very honest about your feelings. You also did a good job .
Thank you!
I recently just cleaned out my closet and my best friend helped me. It took us 7hrs total because I had so much baby stuff from my daughter when she was a newborn. I’m pregnant with a baby boy (30wks) and I’ve been slowly trying to get everything organized and get rid of stuff I no longer need or use. Your videos are helping me so thank you so much!💕
Thank you so much so much for your videos. I've been dealing with depression, anxiety and adhd. I was doing good earlier last year but hit a major roadblock. Your videos are a true motivation. I've watch other stay at home moms...and although I admire their "near to perfect lives" I needed someone a little more relatable. Like someone who was interesting with real raw issues and willing to show the actual STRUGGLE of bettering themselves. Thank you so much. Keep doing what your doing. Im getting my house in order❤
I was lying on my bed watching this video.. it is almost 10pm
So I got up and organized with you. I straightened out my Summer clothes closet. The Winter clothes closet is in good shape
I don't want to be a minimalist. I could never enjoy that. But I watch you for cleaning and organizing motivation
My home is in pretty good shape but could always improve.
I enjoy decorating and I keep a pretty tidy home too. But I have plenty of time and the kids all are grown and gone.
I had to clean house, clean dishes in evenings, iron my clothes etc when I was growing up. My mother worked and had 4 kids 2 years apart. But my parents gave us a Blessed lWehad a beautiful home and took pride in caring for what we had.
I have Bipolar but it is controlled by meds and lots of sleep. The anxiety is a constant battle.
God Bless and Keep going,!
Shane.. 66 year old woman retired
You are an amazing person/woman, and you give us the impetus to begin this process.
Peace.
Thank you for being here Alice! This fills my heart with happiness to know my videos are helping. You all help me more than you will ever know! Stay Mighty!♡
I need to declutter my daughters room too! I'm on this ride with you! 😘😘😘
You can do it! I am always here for you! Let's unload the stress mess! Stay Mighty! xo
Great job mama! You are truly a inspiration. I seriously struggle with depression and anxiety as well. I love you decluttering and cleaning videos. Even if I don’t clean with you just hearing you talk makes me feel so much better. You are a wonderful person. Thank you for helping me through some tough times!
Hi Sydney! I am so happy to be here for you and thank you for being here for me as well. Hearing from you truly motivates me even more. So thank you for sharing your heart. It is not easy but we must fight stronger by pushing ourselves to do one thing each day. We are worth it and our struggles do not define who we are. We have way more to us and me tal illness is just something we have to deal with along the journey of life! We cant allow the weight of it to steal all of our days from us! If having a clean home will make you feel happy then fight hard to give yourself that. Don't let your own self get in the way of your happiness! you have that power right inside of you! one small step forward. i know its scary but thats all lies. Nothing will go wrong if you start. You will be okay. I promise. And then you will feel so good when its done and ask yourself why the heck did I wait so long to do this?! Happened to me everytime and I didnt die or get hurt in the process as my anxiety told me I would. lol! I am going to talk more about this in this weeks video so stay tuned. plesse get one small thing done in your house this week and let me know how it went in this weeks video comment section! I will be praying for you Sydney!♡ Stay Mighty! You got this!
I’ve just come upon you channel today. I don’t actually have the anxiety about the clutter, but my husband does. This really helped me to get a better understanding of how he feels about it. He would love to be a minimalist and I have a lot of clutter. Thank you
Yes please....take us along on your journey...I think it will keep us all accountable... I just found your Channel today and subscribed... I totally love your decluttering videos...I hoard home décor and crafting supplies... I'm working on the second round of decluttering... I'm on day three...I've done my master bath...my master bedroom and entry and livingroom and laundry room...tomorrow I'll be working on my dining room...keep posting...I need the motivation...❤️❤️❤️
Just found you and boy did I need this. Please keep doing this series. I am so unhappy in my house. I feel such guilt and shame about how messy and cluttered my house is. I start each day feeling behind and go to bed feeling defeated. I don't want to pass this on to my 2 kids and I don't want to live like this anymore. Thank you for sharing so honestly. So many RUclips videos about decluttering are about removing two items from a perfect table in a perfect house. Thank you.
YAYYY!!!! Good for you!!! U give me motivation, you give me life mawma! Seriously! I love the kitchen videos, and closet/pantry ones especially. I need all the help you give me! God bless you!
You are everything I didn’t know I needed!! Your real ness & just seeing some of what really happens in our lives with no “highlight” reels of perfection & what we should be doing! We all lead different lives with different stories & sometimes with the same outcome. Covid killed my mental health & stole my spirit along with it but seeing someone so real with no bull is so refreshing & inspiring!! Sooo THANK YOU!!! You did what you set out to do for me!!! I’m here with you on this journey to enjoy your people & live in a place that brings you nothing but good vibes & a healthy head space ❤️❤️
I love that poster in your daughter's room "Beautiful Girl, you can do hard things"
Loved your push to have us declutter with you, so I grabbed my summer outfits and workout clothes and went to town!!!
Love it! I do the....my house needs to be clean before I start. Nope, I'm going to make a mess anyway. So glad you said this today!!
What a great start!!! We're here to cheer you on and offer support. Anyone would be overwhelmed dealing with so much stuff... and that's A LOT of stuff!! Good for you for taking charge of the inventory in your home. You will not regret it and will be SO relieved in the end. I'm glad to hear you like The Minimal Mom. Her videos will totally motivate you to keep going!!!
Thank you Violet!♡
@@MightyMama American Girl and Captain Underpants - two of my kids' childhood favorites. 🙌
I'm not sure if I missed it, but just a tip while decluttering - have a plastic bin to put donations in while you're going through stuff, a trash bag for trash, a bag or box for recycling, and a bin for things to discuss later. That will keep you from having to handle things twice. Also, I'd like to see whatever videos you'd like to do. Personally, I get satisfaction watching every step of the way. 🙂
I truly understand the not having much growing up..it lead me to a hoader tendency..I'm trying to declutter slowly...thanks for the inspiration!!!
You did a great job congratulations so proud of watch Hoarders Heart video she's in the same place as you she's great very inspirational ❤
Sorry to hear about your childhood. I understand that feeling and did the same thing with my own children. I have been decluttering for about 3 months and it feels so good.
Absolutely enjoy the journey of de cluttering with you! Please just bring us with you!
I think it was sweet that your daughter wanted to donate some of her things! I totally get the difficulty in purging your children's items- THAT'S SO HARD!! In my situation, I had to come to the realization that I could only have 1 child- we tried for more with complications but God gave me a daughter and I'm blessed to have her. But all of the items, clothing, nursery decor, etc. that I had for her, was building up in storage and I COULD NOT even think about getting rid of it- until just recently. My only solution was to take photos of all those sweet outfits that she wore, the toys that she played with and the Decor that adorned her nursery. I'm a scrapbooker, so this was a great way to re-visit those memories whenever I want to! I DEFINITELY over-compensate with my daughter, especially with photos. Thank you for posting your video- VERY INSPIRING and I could relate to so much of your daily stories!
You did a fantastic job! You let go of a lot. I am so impressed. I loved seeing this video and would love to see all the decluttering that you do. I would also like to see clean with depression & anxiety video. May God richly bless you for all that you do. You are the best.
Thank you Becky! You are so sweet! I really feel I am doing Gods work here. He has been my number one motivator! God bless you!♡
I am speechless! I call myself an Organized Hoarder tooooo! Ok. I am going to start today.
I dealt with parting with things the same way. I try to make my kids understand how many children aren't as blessed as we are, & can really be using this stuff, instead of it just sitting here. They really understood, & wanted to help kids!
For sentimental things, something I do is pile it and go through it once a year. I find that giving some space between the emotion and decision helps me be more clearheaded. I did that with all the kids schoolwork. I would put everything in a bin and at the end of the school year go through and it helped me make better decisions on keep or ditch.
I love these videos! Thank you for letting us all follow your journey.
@mightymama. I used my wooden chests to start my kids hope chests. A baby outfit from each of them as babies. Then I started adding pots and pans and stuff so that when they go off on their own they have these things to start their new life with. Even if it is for a dorm. Or a first apartment. It will be so helpful.
Good job.. keep going.. will love to watch more declutter videos .. you are doing great 👍
I just wanted to say that I am also someone who grew up poor and i think it effects my ability to be able to get rid of things as well. I either don’t want to get rid of it bc I think I might need it at a different time, or I don’t want to take the easy way out and just donate it bc I always think “I can sell that” and then I never take the time to do it.
Hi Brittney! Yes girl! Exactly me! I am going to touch more on this topic in throughout this journey. I am finding s connection to something else here. Stay tuned! Thank you for being here!♡💪🙏🦋🤎
Hi mama,I'm a mom of soon to be 3 and I've been suffering from severe depression and anxiety for 11yrs. I have a hard time being able to clean everyday.
Thank you for the inspiring video's. I love your estsy shop as well. When I can I'll buy atleast a shirt from ya. Much love to you!
Wow that was amazing. Well done 👏 take a bow. Mary.

Happy Sunday here watching and catching up while folding some clothes
You are awesome! Keep it up. You have really help me deal with a lot of things I hold in from childhood also . God Bless you!
Keep going with the decluttering series! Love it! And do before and after shots.. love to see the progress.
Thank you Carolyn! I will do that for sure! I appreciate you being here! xo
Thank you!! The clutter in our house makes me so anxious and clostriphbic. It makes me feel like I have to do everything all at once, which means nothing gets done at all. And everything feels so heavy and exhausting. ♡
I was struck about what you said that I want the house to be perfect before I declutter. I guess, you're right, its the perfectionism. I hope I can start decluttering stuff that we no longer use and need.
Bravo, Laura! You pushed through and did a fab job of lightening your load! Keep the declutter vids rolling.....🤗
💪🙏 Thanks so much! I felt like it was best to rush through it and not put too much thought in the things I was decluttering. Still have a long way to go but I will be bringing more decluttering videos for sure! I am so excited for this weeks video! Stay tuned!♡
@@MightyMama new subbie as of this morning 🙋♀️....and looking forward to walking this journey with you. Stay safe, healthy and strong, Mama! 🤗
Your messages are so insightful and inspiring!!! I absolutely love 💕 your videos🧼🧺🧽🏡 I love 💗 that box that you found in your daughter’s closet-it looks like a keepsake box, so pretty 🤩
Please continue what you’re doing….decluttering and cleaning 🧼 or maybe both I each video📦 God bless you too!!!
Bless you for sharing your story as a child. I was in a similar boat for a while. I also tried to overcompensate with my first child.
New here!!!!! You did awesome. You are so right, our kids grow up so fast and all of that “important stuff” and all of the toys are going to go away. Then it will be replaced with new “important stuff” to them. I decluttered my kitchen cabinets while I watched your video. I have two donation bags. One step at a time. 😊
Love the term "Stress Mess!" you are so right: it affects me, too.
