Hoarders ❤️ Extreme Declutter Hoarded Basement Part 3 | Clutter Free Inspiration

[@jenreu]

When you dont want to let it go, but universe has other plans, you break things. 🙃🙃

[@rebeccaf3453]

This is my first KZbin comment! This episode made me cry. I’ve been watching your channel for a long time now. I suffer from ocd and been practising in a minimal for a long time. I never understood hoarding disorder, and I would get mad with family members who suffer from it. Your channel has helped me to understand them and why they are the way they are. It has helped me regain relationships I lost because of our conflicting disorders. So thank you so much for explain things and your logic behind everything! With much love Bec from Australia.

When you loop back around to those clothes from your early twenties, consider keeping one outfit that represents that era the best for you. I have one outfit, minus shoes, that my corpulent keister will NEVER fit in again. It gets revisited every time I declutter and makes the cut every time so far.

[@ahoardersheart]

Such a wonderful idea 🙏🏻🌟🦄💜 Thank you so so much for sharing that with me 💞

[@cindystuder9090]

I can't tell you how many times my own clumsiness has helped me declutter. But it's a lot. 😂

[@scarlettwanderer]

Love seeing your cool things from the 90s and 00s

[@tabitha9890]

Wow, so proud of you!!! You are getting so great at this! Loving the hair!!!

[@jenniferr-f3157]

I am so, so happy that you are labeling all of your bins! Any time spent on opening bins to check what’s inside is time wasted. You’re gaining floor space every week - this is so cool to see! I can’t wait for next week!

[@bearlycountry2406]

I just figured out that we're about the same age, I graduated in 2002. I had my first child at 19, and I just wanted to let you know how much those Mama's are going to appreciate those crocheted items. I just put together a hope chest for my kids baby items, because we were young and poor, those handmade crocheted items were some of the things we kept. They meant a lot, because we didn't have a lot at the time. I love watching you declutter, and I keep imagining the way other people are being blessed by the items you're letting go. Great job, I love seeing your home transform.

[@228Lari]

And again, you let more go that what you kept!! AWESOME!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my beautiful friend 💞🙏🏻💜🦄🌟

[@andreajanek7504]

Have you considered making a tshirt quilt out of your shirts from college? That's what we did with my husband's shirts last year. We used the company Project Repat. That way he can keep his memories and we made it into something we can actually see and use.

[@HolographicCathawk]

I framed a t-shirt once because it was 3 sizes to big for me. It actually makes nice wall art!

[@caryncurtis700]

I was going to suggest this too!

[@janeonthecoast4920]

Time for quilting when house is decluttered

[@hmms5256]

Forgot about that! Some people do that with old baby clothes at the annual craft fairs down here.

[@elizabethbrundagemediajour150]

Loved seeing your childhood toys. I still have some of my childhood stuffed animals and items from high school. I keep the items in a black plastic footlocker and use labels on other containers. Love your videos.

[@eavening4149]

Beautiful progress, dear Mrs. Heart! ❤❤❤❤

[@anitachopping]

You never loose your memories.

[@kellyharris4639]

Another big day in the basement! I am so happy for you. Please take those big blue and orange water guns to your shed along with that bin of summer toys. I think you’ve moved that stuff enough. If it’s in your yard, they’ll use them.

[@001-x1b]

I thought the same about old clothing from college then I felt the clothes and felt how crunchy the elastics got, the bad fabric etc and the nostalgia turned to disgust and off it went to the dumpster. That really helps me.

[@bonesbigfoot2654]

Yes, sadly instead of being able to let go and others use it it needs to go in the landfill. I had that happen to a few of my clothes which I kept because I wanted to loose that weight that I gained.

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhh…thank you so so much for sharing your story with me!! One day, I’ll do the same, I’m sure!! 💜🦄🙏🏻🌟

[@CB-jh1pt]

Congrats on 20k!!! I’d imagine it’s a similar of number of things in today’s Tossy Tossy pile! 🤩💫💕✨

[@ahoardersheart]

LOL!!! You are the best, you know that?!!!! Thank you my beautiful friend 🤩💗🦄💜🌟

[@CB-jh1pt]

@@ahoardersheart 🥰😁

[@nickisuhl]

You're letting go of so much stuff. That must be a huge relief. You're doing great, keep going! You're awesome!

[@leezasims9959]

EPIC PROGRESS!!!!! Well done..... I can see your confidence and decluttering skill growing. It’s hard work I feel the same. Slow and steady wins the race for sure 💕❤️💜 I agree keep whatever you want. If you love and need your old toys keep them. One day you may want to let them go or not. It really doesn’t matter at this point. Whatever allows you to continue and progress. We each know what feels right for us right now 💓 I still have loads of my toys 50 plus years on ❤️

[@Garden-ghost80]

What fun to find your college and childhood items. I can hear all the joy in your voice and that those items are dear to you.

[@Superdena29]

I'm so proud of you for letting go the baby crochet clothes, I know how hard it is for you and I thought you would need more time to say good bye to these, so great great job on that !

[@savannahbanks]

Super work, babe! 🐨🦘🦘🦘

[@thebeachyfarmhouse6410]

That was a huge let go pile😍 Good for you 💕

[@denisemarie6131]

Decision avoidance is pain avoidance. You hit the nail on its head!!

[@afrarunduml1170]

Hi Melanie! I'm watching your videos for a year now. I'm happy to see your progress! And so proud of you. My mother never did this step and I had clear out her house when she was dead. I has spended the day with my children on a lake. They played with sticks and mud. I'm sitting in my backyard right know. And listen to the birds songs and the cricket concert. I received the recommendation of your video and started joyful to watch it (as always). But I just came till the toy bins. I was so in peace with this day. Sticks and mud, Melanie! No clutter, no tidy up, no boxing and keeping, and giving away, no dusting or sadness about broken toys. Maybe, at one point, we can enjoy sticks and mud again. And time with the loved ones, in the outside, instead of spending time alone in cluttered basements. Love from Germany ❤️❤️❤️

[@alanbirkner1958]

July 2024. I graduated college in 1970. My folks moved across country while I was at school. There's not much stuff from my childhood. I've never held on to much. Tina, Al's wife

[@allaboutmookie3688]

Oh my God she got the baby items and I was like no don't open it don't declutter it that's the first thing my mind started thinking and I was just so proud of her to say that she was going to donate it to the women's shelter wow that's super empowering I know that took a lot of mental and emotional effort to let go

[@sylviad5186]

Dearest Heart 💝 Wow, you just keep on impressing me at your strength, which is quite contagious!!! You are definitely not the same person that use to hide for fear; you are such a strong inspirational person!! Your family must also been enjoying this journey as I much, if not more than me! So proud of you and I thank God for answering my prayers for you, your family and your followers!! A+! Love you much! 💕👍🙏😁😉🎉🥰👏👏👏

[@josephdaly2015]

Wow that pile was huge and that space is opening up very quickly. Those decluttering muscles 💪 are so strong now. Congratulations on 20K 👏🎈🎉 I think a bigger congratulations has to go on letting a sentimental item go, take a bow 🙇‍♀️ And as always thinking of others taking the box of crocheted items to the women’s shelter. Well done 👍👏 Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍❤️💪💐🦄🙏🎈🎉

[@mrseliephant]

IF the women's shelter won't take the baby hats, booties, etc...a hospital with a NICU will take the donation. :) Keep up the good work! 🎉

[@vlogger-cp5dw]

Good idea. Or donate them to the hospital gift shop, usually run by volunteers for charity.

[@savebees]

I took pictures of some of my kids favorite clothes when they were little because we can't keep everything and it will be fun to look back at old pictures. Much better than old wrinkly musty clothes

[@sinaain]

You are doing great and don’t sweat decluttering the sentimental stuff right now. Decluttering step by step and starting with the easier stuff makes sense and I feel like it will be much easier to declutter those things after you have organised everything and can go trough it by category, so by having everything from one category you can see what you really love the most and see that you still have many sentimental items even if you declutter some. But it must be so satisfying to organize the basement and have everything in neatly labelled bins Instead of random bags and cardboard boxes mixed with trash!

[@justusewater1]

You are SO in touch with your feelings and that really is helping you and so many other people. I love being along for this journey with you.

[@stephaniewitherrite1638]

YAAAAA!!! So excited for you!! I can’t wait until you reach 100k, I can only imagine all the people you will have helped along your own journey. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@danazzimmerman5534]

Congratulations on 20k! Great episode❤️

[@trixiebelton4604]

You can take any type of electronics, like old computers and printers, cameras, etc to Staples for recycle. They’re EPA approved.

[@AshleyFaulkner]

You are going through so much more, quicker. Your videos are getting longer and having more content in them. I am so happy for the progress you are making. I am also so excited for the progress you will continue to make.

[@lucindanease8210]

Love the basement videos the best. You never give up and that's inspirational. These get me motivated the quickest. Can't wait for the next one!

[@marinalodi6313]

As difficult as seeing your teenage and childhood items may be, I still can feel how they bring you a freeing and fun nostalgia, and it's fun whe you say something about the history of each thing and how you remember them. But the best part has to be when you feel good decluttering those items, cause you are not a kid os teenager anymore, you are such a strong woman

[@ILikeTheOldTimeWay]

I like to take a photo of things that bring me good memories and make a photo book. I found that photos bring back the same memories and photo albums are a lot easier to look through and remember than pulling out lots of bins, and photo albums take up less space! :)

[@Peanut1965]

Keep the drawer organizer for your crafts. I have one and it’s a life saver lol

[@scholargrrl]

Congrats on finding all the baby stuff to gift to the ladies shelter!!! So many will be blessed with it! Good for you! ❤

[@meganverne]

i know how upsetting it is to break stuff you wanted to keep, but remember what you said in the last video, you have the money now you are able to replace things that need replaced (like the glass pitcher)

[@ahoardersheart]

Absolutely 💞🙏🏻🦄💜🌟 I think that’s why it didn’t hurt so bad that I would try to fix it!! LOL! Subconsciously I knew I could replace it!! Thank you so so much for being such a great friend 💞

[@francinehogsett3065]

Your doing great 😊❤️

[@suen1285]

Well done! This is such great progress! Thank you so much for your videos and inspiration! I didn't hear of hoarding disorder before your channel but I know now that I suffer from it too. Thank you so much for helping me - and my family!! 💖

[@nataliejohnson3192]

Hello! You are such a terrific example of giving grace to yourself. I follow your videos to see your amazing progress and to be reminded how important it is to talk kindly to ourselves and to not focus on past choices that we see differently, now. It is so refreshing to see people showing true self-improvement with real, small steps. That reminds the rest of us that we can tackle overwhelming jobs in small chunks in order to see huge improvements later. FYI, Best Buy accepts old electronics for recycling. Old towels, blankets and sheets can be donated to animal shelters, too. Enjoy your weekend!! 💜

[@ahoardersheart]

I absolutely loved your beautiful kind encouraging message!!! Thank you so much you really lifted my spirits up 🙏🏻🦄💜🌟💞

[@familycarr398]

It is amazing to watch you easily let go of things that you used to struggle with and open up more space. :)

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Great job! You are getting stronger and stronger!

[@amma7244]

Cheering for you your progress with hoarding disorder is so exciting. The ability to part with stuff speaks to all the good work you have done.

[@funnygirl3444]

Yeah!!!!! Love this summer series!!! Great job!🎊🎉🎈👍

[@trishbishop3923]

You’re doing great!

[@tvviggz]

Your hair looks nice in this video 💜

[@madisonleal6400]

You have come so far!!! You are doing such large sections it's amazing!!!!! You are killin it!!!! 😃💗

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! You just lift my spirits right up!!! You are so awesome, thank you 💜🦄🙏🏻🌟💞

[@xxKaiMariexx]

Amazing job!! I would suggest to repurpose the Caboodle for your makeup/hair accessories/nail polish/or jewelry that you currently wear that way you get to hang on to the item in a functional way!

[@brittanybilunes8168]

Congrats on 20K!!! Thanks for sharing this was super satisfying! 😊❤️👏🏽🎉

[@cassandradabling7398]

You hit 20k!!! 🥳🥳🥳 congratulations! You deserve it!

[@scorpio7938]

Great job decluttering the basement is looking nice

[@trineh3877]

I just love these videos, where you are cleaning out the basement 😍😍🦄🌈

[@sharjo52]

I knew you could keep up getting rid of a large amount of declutter! So you WILL be finished the declutter by winter!!!! I knew you could!!!!! Keeping certain things you do not feel good about letting go and just going on with the declutter,that’s awesome 😎

[@jeno264]

You got so much cleared!!

[@HolographicCathawk]

You are killing it!!! The basement is transforming!!

[@o0Theresa0o]

Amazing work - you're absolutely killing it. At this rate, you're definitely going to fly through that basement! I am so excited to see what you end up doing with it.

[@infernalinferno]

I just love these basement clearing videos! And the garage sale ones 😎 it’s great to make money from your hoard

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

I'm really impressed how easy it was for you to get rid of the kids artwork. It wasn't that long ago you had to keep every piece and little scribble. You're doing amazing! I'm going to go dig into the old paperwork I've been putting off as it's so huge and overwhelming (from the last 10 years at home and 2 businesses, so there's a lot!), thanks for the inspiration :)

[@LoriTaylorSmithGA]

Your droppy droppy is causing more tossy tossy! I’m so proud of your progress. I’m holding onto a broken glass pitcher from Spain. Congrats on the 20k subscribers!

[@trixiebelton4604]

Kudos to you that you are tackling your hoard by yourself. Glad to see you are making progress in tossing, donating things you’re ready to part with. I’m sure your surprised at how often you have duplicates of things, because you couldn’t find the previous ones. We all have some hoarding tendencies! I found out myself when downsizing from a 4,000 sf house to 2,200 sf. I had to ask myself, will I have space for it, will I either use it again, can I wear it again? I had lots of craft stuff too, and had to ask myself, will I ever finish it?

[@janieherrin9067]

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers !!! It is getting so much easier for you to let go of clutter It's hard to believe you're a hoarder !!! I started watching you when you had something over 8,000 subscribers.

[@EzAnderson]

🤩 I used to love love love the parrot earrings. I had a red pair with a matching necklace. You had so many cool toys and girly things.

[@JoanDam248]

You let one thing go from the box containing your old clothes. Next time you look in that box again, you Can let one more thing go. You Can do it! 😊❤️ the basement Will be great!

[@oxymom2002]

Amazing progress and congratulations on the subscribers. Your willingness to share your journey so honestly is helping so many. 💜

[@sladjanarafailovic8596]

One of the solutions for sentimental things can be to make a video where you show objects that are very important to you and also the reason why that object is important to you. You save the video and throw things away. When you want to see those things just watch that video.

[@justusewater1]

I am going to try this with my 11 year old. We are moving and she is having a really tough time letting go. We are trying to be really sensitive to her feelings and we only have two suitcases each, so it isn’t realistic to keep everything. Ms. Heart, if you have any ideas on this one, I am ALL ears! Congrats on 20K!!!!!

[@beverlyschroeder5573]

Another great job. Congrats on 20K.

[@anadevera2905]

Wow 20k subscribers plus good amount of tossy tossy, congrats Miss Heart! Continuously supporting you on this journey! ☺️❤️🥳🦄

You have and still are doing a fabulous job Ms. Heart! You are making amazing progress, keep ongoing!

Congratulations! Woooah Mr. Heart! The basement is looking better and better and you are stronger every day!:)

[@charishurt1768]

Great job girl congratulations 👏💜

[@youtubeaccount-yr6hb]

I feel relieved when I break something cause it's one less decision I have to make. 😂 I hate how draining decisions can be.

[@eifltwrgrl]

I'm in a "tossy tossy" mood. Thank you for your videos. I'm dealing with my departed mothers bday today. Her brother is passing soon and even tho I am not fond of him, the anxiety of dealing with family has got me manic. ❤❤❤ You make me smile Marie😘

[@shannonmccann3814]

Slowly but surely your making great progress with this project :) congratulations on 20k

[@darlenecalander335]

Love how you approach/reinforce the task ahead with the 'baby step' mind set. It helps me not to get so overwhelmed 😉🤗! I enjoy your videos immensely💜💙💜❣❣Thanks for your much needed encouragement😍😉😍.

[@silaserifoglu7431]

When we are at the initial step of decluttering ,the baby steps are okey. But this video seems that ahe is still holding on to. Still emotional attachment is strong. A definate decision and mindful approach is required. She must emotionally learn to let go of things. Letting go of stıuff does not mean to forget that memory. We can never forget the love and emotions we have or had. Emotions can not be ereased or supressed however they can be directed to a positive way. Garage sale she did in the past is also firing her hoarding habit.

[@treesupportdollar8276]

I am also checking away areas in my catch all room. Keep the videos coming they motivate me so much, thanks.

[@Mar10la]

Congratulations, Miss Heart! It's so nice to have been able to follow you for such a long time now. It's awesome to see you and your channel grow so much :)

Another great job!

[@katiesewall7211]

Love the big tossy tossy piles! You’re doing so great!! ❤️ I’ve noticed on my own town’s giving page that people are always looking for big boxes like that for moving, could be a good alternative to recycling if similar in your town!

[@JC-bw3ow]

Wow you’re awesome. I can’t work in big spaces like that. I get easily frustrated and when I do I just go to another bin without really doing much. My husband now brings me one bin from our storage at a time. I get overwhelmed.

[@eileenlester4342]

God bless you for donating to the women's shelter! 💜

[@KatherineElectrique]

Just amazing! You're going to have so much space in the basement for activities
