[@bunacat1]

The Peppertainment was in full force today!

[@marinalodi6313]

I love how pepper imediatly goes to the open spaces like "oooh that's new!"

[@ahoardersheart]

lol!!! She’s like “a new place to explore!!” Thank you so so much 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼

[@debratakagawa4764]

You made such good progress today. You’re so smart to listen to your body telling you to take it easy. Pepper sure had fun climbing around today.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my dear friend 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟 That means so much to me!!!

[@seahorse251]

You have the cutest helper ❤❤

[@ahoardersheart]

She is my little decluttering support kitty 🐱 💜🌸

[@tngirlz4622]

Well done!👏👏👏 It’s so fortunate that you sorted things into plastic bins in the basement in the past, or more things would have been damaged.

[@ahoardersheart]

You are absolutely right!!! There would have been so much more damage!!!

[@lauradavison4044]

Love Miss Pepper supervising. Take care don't over doo things, glad you are listening to your body and stopping when you need too.

[@bridgettbenson6830]

Great job listing to ur body! And getting ride of things that I know we're hard even when they were damaged ❤

[@CAGChannel1]

Bring back that unicorn!! My daughters, who both have an extra chromosome, laughed so hard when that unicorn kicked things!

[@ingmariohman8242]

Miss Pepper is adorable! And many congratulations to you. You certainly make progress. So impressed with how you dealt with the damaged sentimental things.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my friend, that means a lot to me 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌸

[@elenaali6931]

I remember the first water damage you had and how it took you so long to get over the things you had to toss and I'm so proud of how far you've grown 😭

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much for that reminder!! I forgot about that!! 🥹🙏🏼❤️🥹🙏🏼

[@Saaaaarah]

I really love your honestly and vulnerability with the damaged things that were hard to let go of, but you felt your feelings and were able to get through it!!! You inspire me❤

[@janeorr3074]

Good job listening to your body! Love the progress and the encouragement!!!

[@cpyle55]

Holischmolies. You really did a great job today. HUG LADY👍

[@vickithornley5056]

Pepper was alot of fun to watch! She sure was climbing today and exploring. Take care of yourself. You are doing great, dear lady. 💖🌻

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessss! She was having fun this episode 🐱❤️🌸🙏🏼🌟

[@ja86sa]

Miss Pepper is amazing kitty ❤❤❤ always helping

[@raiMorrison]

It's great to see you back in the basement! I was wondering if it might be better for you to declutter all the loose items there for now instead of going into the bins while you recover? At least the stuff in the bins is somewhat sorted and protected from water.

[@karenkouns577]

Great job. But so glad you are listening to your body. Thanks for sharing!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my friend 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@ellenstam-mulder3002]

so close to your own crafting space

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessss!!! Another step closer to the Craft area 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🌸

[@minimalzebra]

Another large tossy tossed pile. Proud of you friend! ❤

[@equusgirl]

Thank you for your hoarder viewpoint, I always struggled trying to explain why I keep stuff! But you gave me the words and also the help to clean up and heal!

[@ahoardersheart]

That is wonderful!!! I will always be cheering you on 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@TheGenflute]

Ms. Hart! I totally have in my house what we call "The 80s shrine!!" It has my high school phone on a teal table with my roller skates under it, some yearbooks, my old boom box, some jewlery and some of my hubby's graduation stuff. Then hanging over it is a framed poster from the movie "Pump up the Volume" and a piece of unicorn art I made in jr. high. I love it!!

[@Stefunny82]

Oh that sweet baby Pepper! I love her intro! ❤

[@redmeow3914]

Hooray for the decluttering unicorn. I was so hoping we would see her again. Do you think she will return in some of the videos this year? (I do hope so)

[@deniseharrison1410]

I watched a video when you talked about the “Shoppers High” and when I went shopping I truely understood it. You have no idea how much your few words made a massive impact on me and changing my shopping habits. 😊

[@marystrenke3050]

I thank things and say goodbye. Have even been known to give something a quick kiss, books especially! So hard to downsize but sometimes necessary. Fortunately, most things don't mean much to me

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

You are doing great! Have a lovely weekend! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@elizabethbrundagemediajour150]

Ms Pepper is there to help you declutter with her wonderful support for you and all of us too. Thanks for the declutter motivation !

[@ahoardersheart]

She really is my decluttering support kitty 🐱🙏🏼❤️🌟

[@countrymommaxoxo2020]

So proud of you! You’ve came so far it’s amazing I love watching your progress and them tossy tossy piles and you talking your way through it , keep up the good work but rest give your body grace for now

[@vanessawhitneypro]

SO appreciate your encouragement & empathy, ALWAYS. You’re inspiring & kind all at once! Thank You & Let’s KEEP GOING! Cheers! ❤️

[@keelienne]

Miss the 🦄 !! I’m am excited to see the section with your memorabilia 💜 I imagine it like this Kallax from Ikea, one section with baby toys, one with my little ponies.. one Dalmatian of course! And one with ribbon 😬

[@susanmunoz7688]

What a wonderful family to be part of! ❤️🤗♥️

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@josephdaly2015]

Another fantastic declutter. That pile was huge. I’m sorry you lost some sentimental stuff but the way you explain it and process it is wonderful information to pass on. Miss Pepper is an amazing supervisor and is obviously loving the spaces opening up. She will have great fun in your craft area with all the ribbon 🎀 😂 You will have to motivate us again as a unicorn 🦄 I’m glad you are listening to your body to take it easy when you need to. Keep minding yourself and thanks for all the encouragement you continue to give. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏👍💪🙏💐🐈🎀🦄

[@susanrikimaru6630]

Great progress today! 🎉

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

I've been watching your channel for years. It is so impressive how far you have come.

[@Xiroi87]

So glad to see you are getting better. Do make sure to be gentle with yourself! I've started using some of your expressions. The other day I found myself saying I need to do a Kon Mari on my office supplies. Today's the day!

[@BlueBird-nf2gp]

New subscriber here. I’m impressed by your hard work. I have been decluttering recently but had to slow down due to my arm hurting. It’s good to listen to our bodies and rest when we need to. Great job! 😊🐦

[@katjabohm7731]

I love that you are reasonable and rest and keep an eye on your health. to many people are not gonna keep their limits.

[@Ann-vr1qr]

Beautiful job! Always inspiring. You have come auch a long way!💖

[@marloespeters8404]

I am a little craft suplies hoarder ,and i also love jewelry ,bags and make up . Oh and books . I like to declutter when i have to much stuff in my house

[@amystewart9228]

Love it!!!!!!

[@lyzalyza7]

Yes, feel the feelings! It’s okay to feel sad about losing things. And now you know that you can cope with the feelings instead of avoiding them by hoarding them away.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesssss! You are so right 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@jeannebowes2898]

Take it easy , honey! I wrote a list for what will be going into my summer sale.

[@alanbirkner1958]

Hi, I'm glad to see you're doing well enough to work on your basement clutter. I took a stack of books and magazines to the library for their free area today. Tina, Al's wife

[@jackiew.9470]

I'm so happy you stopped and listened to your body. I'm just so happy to be have this series back 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh yeahhhhhh!!! Me too 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@melanietrester]

Hello from Germany,hi Miss Heart and miouw pepper 🎉🎉🎉 so good to See you . Back in the basement . You Rock it. Lisen to your Body, keep it slow...... Be safe

[@chrisdalebout5106]

I like part where you let yourself feel the pain of letting things go. That was a great pile of things going out. ❤

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my friend 🦄🌸💜🌟🙏🏼

[@SandraOgrodnik-wm4ph]

You’re so motivating and relatable. I look forward to the video every week. Slow and steady. Sending prayers for continued healing. Listen to your body. Great job!

[@trishhorton6514]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@annad9974]

mayby French drains help with the Watter on your property.

[@ThKiwi]

Ahh I’m sorry that the water damage got to make so many decisions that should have been yours to make. This was a nice, chill episode with some lovely progress, and I’m glad you’re listening to your body. ❤❤ Do you have a specific goal for 2024? Having the craft area ready to go? I’d love to see it! 😊

[@Nat073]

Just a thought since you’re not 100% yet maybe you could go through the photos next to the couch. You’ll be able to organize them while also resting your body.

[@A-couple]

WOW ❤ GREAT job Mel!! I 'm so proud of you. You have grown so much and worked so hard since you started this channel. Bless you and keep going!❤

[@jenniferr-f3157]

This is exciting!! 🤩

[@bethstratton3391]

Dear Ms Heart, So glad you are listening to your body and going at your own pace. Please don’t rush your recovery the body needs healing time. You did great today. Proud of you for wanting to keep the decluttering process going little-by-little.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my dear friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌸

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Great motivational tips…Happy Spring! 🌸

[@danielles3841]

You're doing amazing! I've been watching since the Konmari videos and you have grown so much since then. I know I'm a stranger and it probably doesn't mean much, but I'm so proud of you and all the work you've done

[@leezasims9959]

Amazing progress….. I admire your consistency and taking it at your own pace. Try to stop sooner next time before you are in pain. I have made this mistake after surgery. We need lots of time to heal. Maybe clean around areas with out lifting tubs or ask someone to lift the tubs.

[@DistanceTraveled]

Did you get to label the elf on the shelf bin as it went with the Christmas stuff? I'm excited because your basement is looking so good. :)

[@alanbirkner1958]

October 2024. We're switching out closets from summer to fall. My summer clothes fit in a carry-on bag. I have more craft supplies I'm giving away, my small bin is full. There's always more stuff around. Tina, Al's wife

[@reneemenary7641]

Thank you. I enjoy listening to you. Good job - you're doing great! :)

[@dreamer6943]

Ohhhh you have MLP! I just started collecting them too. 😁

[@bethdoe4635]

I would love to see by the end of summer, all your stuff into bins so if the basement floods again in the winter, you won’t lose so much sentimental stuff as it must be so draining to have to process that emotion before you’re ready to.

[@sailorPinata]

you're becoming so strong

[@judenebaer9997]

😊❤ looks nice

[@sharonwest1602]

Hi Pepper !

[@eileenlehonnyberg1576]

2040! YES!

[@Saforra99]

Great + inspiring video! You may have already gotten rid of the nails, but if you haven't yet, I wonder if you have a dump/recycling plant near you that could take the metal to recycle? If not (possible or already gotten rid of) A-Okay! NO guilt or shame implied, just an idea for you or one of your followers :) You are amazing! + yes, good job listening to the signals your body is sending you! 💜

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Great job!💕

[@lizb5298]

its all about silver linings with things like water damage, mice, mold, or other messy troubles; they often reveal and or jumpstart improvements to be made on our lives! the water damage here is in a way helping to clear the hoard; and opens your eyes that you have to clear out to make the future easier.

[@tanya1863]

You did great!!!

[@ashcraft555]

You've been doing a better job keeping your laundry room clean. Could you put some floating shelves above the cube units there and rotate some of your memorabilia there? Then it makes the room feel more like a display area, so it's incentive to keep it clean, plus you can see them and smile every time you go in to that room?

[@porcelina956]

Good job on the tossy tossy pile. Unfortunately that is what happens in basements they tend to leak.

[@cat3crazy]

I use to not consider myself a hoarder but... my craft room & computer room show that I am. I've wanted to clean them for years but get overwhelmed just by opening the door. I had surgery in January and wanted to come home too a fairly clean house. So I took the 4 bins I had sorted that were in the living room and shoved them into my craft room. Now there I can't go in there unless I remove the bins. Yikes! I have to finish my bedroom and maybe that will give me more incentive to get to the worse rooms.

[@dreamer6943]

Wishing you luck on your declutter journey. I started a year ago and it does get easier with time. I've been round each area once already and some areas several times. I always end thinking I'm done, but there's always something else I can let go next time around.

[@cat3crazy]

@@dreamer6943 I've been putting off decluttering for so long, it's ridiculous. One of the problems I have is that my craft room is at the end of a hallway. It's narrow and difficult to get things down it. But then, I got the stuff down the hallway to put the stuff in it. It only took 30 years

[@bonesareheavy]

Looking great! That craft space will be yours! Side wonder: Has Ms. Pepper "decluttered" some weight? I keep thinking she looks slimmer.

[@Katy_living_simply]

You can easily clean the rusted nails by doing a vinegar wash. They come out clean.❤

[@amlach6148]

I de cluttered my storage rack…and now my back hurts 😢

[@Peanut1965]

Are you going to get hubby to build you a craft room?

[@extrememinimalistparent]

Have you made a baby/sentimental area yet?

[@melissahoneybee1417]

Churn churn churn more churn

[@fianorian]

That's quite a big tossy-tossy pile. You've come so far. Take care of that back, though.

[@theannamueller]

May I borrow Pepper for some cuddles? She is such a cutie.

[@mshighfashion20]

With your extremely sentimental stuff could you not put it in a bag then but it in the plastic storage bins so you have piece of mind

[@Rachel-ul8et]

If you put a gift you purchased in all of those gift bags it would cost a fortune

[@bonessam9618]

Please be careful with anything that has been in a basement that has had water in it. I've had items ruined that were even in sealed tubs as yours. Especially any papers, clothes... porous things.

[@amara560]

Please, please wear PPE when handling moldy items! At least gloves and a mask. We want you healthy and safe❤

[@MichelleJessup-l4i]

What if people used their money to help the poor or sick or homeless , animals in the shelter .....rather than buying themselves more Stuff 💖? Thats what I am going to do.

[@keelienne]

Isn’t it great that soon everything will be organized in bins, so no future water damage can take your beloved memories from you? ❤️‍🩹 And you will have more safe spaces, where no water gets in anyways.
