Please let me know if there is sound now?! The video does have audio but there may have been a glitch with KZbin ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@pollydowdlepolly]

There is sound now. Just in time for me to watch it!

[@kaceyasdf]

I hear it. :)

[@mintmin2072]

I can hear it :]

[@soraya1934]

sound is good!

[@djladygee]

All good

[@michellebiggerstaff6841]

If/when you're ready to give up the back packs, you may be able to give them to Child Services for kids that have to go to foster care. That'd go for a good cause.

[@sonyahubbard3226]

👏🏼👏🏼💜

[@afrarunduml1170]

Yes I heard, that a lot of the children have to pack their belongings in trash bags, when they go to a new place, because they have no backpacks.

[@britt581]

Along with a stuffed animals. Every little bit helps

[@denisemarie6131]

I appreciate that you repeat the steps you take when tackling your stuff. I appreciate that you continue to share what is going on within your heart and mind. That's how we learn...by repetition. So please don't ever think that you should not repeat yourself!!! Thanks, Mel. De

[@savannahbanks]

Totally agree! It’s her thought processes that help us to use our own logic when it comes to sorting. And no other bloggers seem to do that! Thank you, dear Miss Heart!

[@kday97]

When you’re able to get rid of the backpacks I would suggest donating them to an organization that helps kids in foster care a lot of times they have to go to their foster home with the things in trashbags because they have nothing to put their things in

[@corielake828]

You can even fill them with notebooks and extra school supply or new toys, all found in your basement

[@annadeleparker]

Would be awesome to get a full basement progress tour! So much progress in the smaller spaces you're showing - exciting!

[@catharinab8860]

Hmm, You mentioned several times in this video ”this is Tylers favourite toy”, what about letting your kids do a toy declutter in the basement before you decorate their playarea to make sure they have their actual favourites there? 💕🦄 and maybe ask them what they want to play with in the area and don’t bring everything You got there from the beginning, letting it be a minimal space where their creativity can have space. Love the tossy tossy pile and watching the progress! 🤩💪💪💪

[@mmulligan7360]

Hahah so cute. I hope the Guinea pig becomes a regular contribution to the channel ☺️

[@ASmokeyHaze]

Melissa, I'm so happy to see the growth that you've had over the years. You're doing amazing

[@Raxx777]

I'm visiting a friend and helping her declutter and reorganize her craft room. I love how you remind us to be gentle with others and ourselves and I'm making sure I'm the same with her. Great job !!!

[@nikkim9537]

I wish you could do 2 basement declutters a week!😂😁 it'll be fantastic once you get to that point!🥳

[@karlo8731]

I’m totally addicted to these videos! In a good way 😁. Do you have the only basement without spiders and cakes of dust?!

[@scholargrrl]

So excited for how far you have come!!!! You are able to identify your feelings so much faster and deal with them in an appropriate manner!!!

[@micheledryden1057]

Yesterday I took 7 bags of clothing, decorations, and kitchen items to the thrift store!! I decided to throw out most of my mending pile because I'd already replaced it. It feels great to see more of my closet floor. Thanks for inspiring me!!! 🥰

[@alanbirkner1958]

Don't go crazy shopping for Christmas this year. Tina

[@eSusan12]

Wow looking good! Cannot wait to see the play area. Please practice Saying no to things that you haven’t asked for, no reason for you to have to deal with other person’s dump. You have enough to do!

[@jenniferwright8355]

You are doing an amazing job! The way anxiety works for me is that I want soooo much to make one pass through that area and (1) grab all of the empty totes and put them with the rest and (2) grab the obvious garbage and get rid of it. Then (3) work on the actual "stuff." I know everyone is different, but I am sitting on my hands really wanting to grab that stuff! Lol. :)

[@lizdrummond4086]

And all the empty boxes and plastic bags!

[@The_Joy_Finder]

She needs those items to serve as ad breaks between the decision making to be able to keep up momentum. They are easy wins and don't demand emotional energy. So there is logic in it. Sustainable progress must be placed above efficiency with a battle like this.

[@ywLDSforever]

Dang, girl! You might have the whole basement done by Christmas! :D look at all you achieved! So proud of you!!!

[@shegoeslightly]

I kinda wanted you to keep going haha, any chance for a full day basement declutter video please!? Like a 1 hour special of the highlights?

[@alanbirkner1958]

July 2024- love the big piles at the end. I do a small pile each day. Tina, Al's wife

[@carynwood9158]

Today I cleaned and reorganized my sewing room. I think I've gotten rid of stuff but yet I still managed to get one full tall kitchen bag, an overhead projector and a big old steam press out of the tiny space. I keep going in and admiring my new sewingroom clear out!

[@vickithornley5056]

🙂 nice

[@megana5658]

I love the end clips with you cleaning up and recycling

[@andrearidgeway939]

I used to do a wrapping paper and ribbon collage activity after Christmas. The kids could cut pictures from the wrapping paper, like characters or candy canes and glue them onto paper with bits of ribbon. They loved it.

[@alyssapfluger4236]

Love seeing you take all the items to their final spots! That's probably my favorite part, because I know how difficult that is with your ADD

[@holographiccat4829]

So excited for the next few episodes! I see a lot of empty boxes. Maybe it's time to organize all the empty storage bins and items into as compact an area as you can. Great video! You are progressing so nicely ☺️

[@jeannebowes2898]

Social Services would love to have the adorable backpacks for an appreciative child in need! Suitcases and other bags are also in need. I know your good giving heart!

[@bigdaddywaller]

Huge Mrs. Heart follower here 🙂 looking at your space, one hoarder to another, I think the play area would be best in the front of the basement near the stairs. No goat trails, it’s easily accessible and you can store all your things in that back out of the way. Just my thoughts! I hope you and your family are doing well!

[@megan2176]

Lots of toys to give away! A fun idea would be to have kids/friends come and choose a toy to give away to the angel tree, etc. ... you can share the joy of giving and gifting! The gifter feels the joy, and so does the child who receives the toy! Just an idea! :)

[@lauradavison4044]

I am so looking forward to seeing Tyler's new play area. Well done with your declutter, I think it is so important to acknowledge what you cannot get rid of and why, because when you come back to it you can make a better decision. I have taken on the phrase "tossy tossy" which my husband smiles at. X

[@CJ-bs7zl]

Update from my post on the last video. I managed to sort through all the outgrown clothes and kept a few special items to me (my son is 14!). So a babygrow, dungarees, a hat and his snow suit. I’m so so proud of myself for achieving that! I also cleared out a wardrobe and I’ve listed on Facebook Marketplace! This week’s challenge is paper (pray for me!) I’ve collected Everything up and it’ll take me a week to go through but I’m doing a bit each day. It certainly helps and the comments I received last time really spurred me to start (no matter how small) thank you 💜

[@thebeachyfarmhouse6410]

That was alot of ♻️ this time too so Nice to see you drop off those bags at the end! Good job!💕♻️🦄🌈💗

[@beaglegirl15]

Great job. In the future if someone wants to donate something to you, have some charities or causes in mind and have them send the stuff there. That way it will be appreciated by you and others without going to your home. Excited to keep seeing the progress

[@alanbirkner1958]

September 2023. I have a bag of clothes and 2 boxes of dishes and tchotchkes in the car for Goodwill. Next week, the carry-on suitcases of winter clothes can come up. Tina, Al's wife

[@TheImperfectReader]

I bet the Facebook towns page loves when you post.

[@josephdaly2015]

Another great job Miss Heart ❤️ Yes you will definitely have the space cleared and set up as a play area in a short space of time. I look forward to you shopping your hoard too. Your doing a fantastic job labelling the boxes. I love your chef in the kitchen 🥗🧑‍🍳😂 Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪💐🦄🙏

[@o0Theresa0o]

Audio is totally normal for me.

[@RD-bq6uq]

If the boat is Tyler’s favorite why not have him go put it in his room?

[@shannonmccann3814]

You're making great progress and soon the play spot will be ready 😉 also love when the guinea pig makes a appearance.

[@ja86sa]

Hello from Sarajevo ❤️ I am finally preparing for move to 1970's 🏠 and hopefully getting married after the renovation of bathroom and kitchen. Decluttering is every day job now so I have the best role model 🦄❤️😚

[@amara560]

Wood is a porous material. Just wiping off the mold won't get rid of it. It's best to use vingar with tea tree oil to spray the whole bench. The tea tree oil is anti-microbial and will kill the mold at the root.

[@michelehice8338]

And the spores fly and land on everything else

[@amara560]

@@michelehice8338 Exactly. You need to thoroughly wet it first and then you can take it off.

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

This is amazing, I'm so glad that you put the overflow from the old playroom down here, so Tyler could have his own uncluttered bedroom and you can go through old toys etc with fresh eyes. Great work!

[@jg2363]

I love having a label maker to identify the contents as I sort. Maybe your husband or son would like that task and a way they can encourage you. Sort on!

[@michellekienzle5091]

Thank you for your inspiration! You are doing great!!

[@sageashley]

Wow you're flying through the basement!!!! Very impressed with the continuous basement declutter (and uploads of course!!), amazing job and I'm so glad I get to watch the journey!! 😊😊❤️❤️

[@JohnSmith-bk6ec]

Lol I love that I know that name of the boat but I like to imagine it’s called Body

[@ninazhukova1262]

You still have small section to declutter , AWESOME!!! Show us rest of your basement, please, so excited to see how much work you have done! ❤️

[@sarahluebke1916]

Love your progress Ms. Heart!! So excited to see how Tyler’s play space turn out. Way to go!!!

[@jeankarcher2460]

The backpacks would be so useful to other kids who can't afford them instead of having them stored in your basement.

[@corinna_maybe]

I really am so excited for Tyler and the rest of your family for Christmas and beyond! 💜

[@emmylee8862]

We're so proud of you ♥️ it's such a delight watching these, because they're so authentic.

[@ParodiasDaDedes]

You can do it, one step at a time, and your boys will be so happy with the play area! Your videos are so so so satisfying to watch, keep up the good work!

[@CopingwithGrattitude]

The pig! ❤🥰

[@eavening4149]

Phenomenal, Mrs. Heart! You WILL reach your goal and in good time at the pace you are going. I think you might finish your first full pass of the basement sorting and decluttering! Amazing! Right now, I am lounging in my basement, reclaimed space. Thinking about what else can be done. So much of decluttering and repurposing is just having a clear plan or idea of what one wants done!

[@gwendolynnieman]

Another great one! How about using the "old" school Backpacks... They look like they are in very good condition... And the Boys may use them

[@gwendolynnieman]

@@catworld8119 They look big enough to use maybe for short holidays or something... And yes some of them look like "too Young", but some Look Like she could use them for the Boys... Even with the Pictures in it. Even I as an adult would wear them (for example The top one)😊

[@theurbanthirdhomestead]

Aw, the backpacks. 🥰

Oh, Lite Brite yo! Takes me back. I'd spend hours with that thing.

Thank you yup it's me. And ya she's doing so well I can't wait to see her son's play room and Christmas in the basement lol

[@denisemarie6131]

I have workbooks sitting on my bookshelf from my children from probably almost 20 years ago. It hurts just thinking about letting them go because when I open the books up, there is their little kid handwriting and it brings up all kinds of goodness in my heart.....but with those happy memories also comes the feeling of hoarding items that are negatively taking up space on my book shelve. You know the emotional cycling. The heart wins so many times over the logic. aaaahhhhh! I pray my heart starts wanting to be free!!

[@denisemarie6131]

@@catworld8119 Thank you, Carol. A way that actually helps me part with papers is burning them! It's like a ceremonial event!! Hey....whatever works sometimes needs to be the mantra to get the sanity back into my home.

[@shellyleach3377]

Another great video!! Can hardly wait for Tyler to get his play area.

[@nellieb4252]

You are wonderful 🤩😘

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

Hi, Melanie! My father had OCD and Hoarding Disorder. Do you mind sharing: what was your moment that helped you get started on your journey? Were you put on any medications (my dad abjectly refused any)? Finally, may we see a wide shot of the basement? I’d love to see the progress of the room as a whole. You are an inspiration to me. I love your phrase, “tossy tossy” and I find myself thinking it as I declutter my home. Hugs!

You did a great job! 🙂👍

Amazing progress:D I just wonder how mould acts on wood and If it is Just on the surface, like with a properly tiled bathroom. As on a piece of bread or loaf of bread, mould Though only visible in part of it the mould is still in all of it. Just a thought. Btw loving seeing Xmas things. It is supposedly tooo early but me the xmaslover am excited to see it start to show up in stores.

Great job decluttering

[@lipbalmqueen]

Great declutter video as always

[@itoshiibaka8267]

It just occurred to me that I hadn't shared something I learned while I decluttered, but I know it's relevant to you, Miss ❤. Because it's hard to let go of something that goes to landfill, I now consider the "end of life" of the things I buy. In addition to how long it will last, how many times I can use it, and who made it, I can think about how I will dispose of it when it stops working or serving me. If it can only be used twice and will go into a landfill, do I really need it? Is there a similar item that can be used longer? Like, a gift bag gets used many times, but a cotton fabric gift bag can be better recycled at the end of its useful life because there's no shiny plastic coating. A can opener made of mixed materials is hard to recycle, so can I find one that's all metal? I want to buy this knickknack because it's so fun, but is there something else fun I could get that won't become waste? How recyclable is this gift card? I don't want to offend! I'm not perfect over here, either. I absolutely LOVE your "use what I already have" mentality, by the way. 💜💜💜

[@elisamaurerbailey2787]

Awesome job!

[@thelissoway6758]

You did so so good! Isn't it weird knowing how we are trained to be consumers. The backpacks are a complete example of that. How many of us always got a new backpack, supplies and clothes? I know I did but I look back thinking about how my old stuff would have worked most of the times but everyone else would get new so I HAD to have it all

[@Siures]

As a German this habit seems weird… we mostly have one bag for kindergarten, one fo elementary and one or two for High School. Reuse other school supplies as well until they fall apart. Still use my last school bag for groceries or holidays. And a few supplies for crafting. Clothes… well, it depends on the social class, but I hated shopping so I wore clothes until they showed half of my leg or had holes… Most families I know made seasonal inventory to look what the kids might need in the next season.
