DECLUTTERING MY ENTIRE HOUSE! decluttering, organizing and cleaning | whole house declutter 2024!

[@annw1395]

You got a TON done! Holy cow! That guest room was overwhelming, but you plowed right thru it! Even the pantry. Awesome. I remember a tip I read years ago, and they said not to buy something until you knew exactly where you were going to put it (like your husband said). That has helped me countless times since then.

[@laurab2141]

Thanks so much for your honesty. A lot of us feel anxious and or depressed these days. In the past, I’ve gone off my anti-deppresant because I’ve felt so good, only to have my (fairly mild, but definitely there) depression come back. I finally decided that for the foreseeable future I’m going to stay on it and not feel bad or embarrassed about it.

[@brendapinero9324]

You are right honey, I hope that you hace an amazing life, God bless you, a big hug from Puerto Rico ❤️.

[@sarahrking]

Thank you so much for sharing your story with anxiety; I also suffer from generalized anxiety and panic disorder w/ agoraphobia. And yes, it is crippling. It is SO hard when you feel alone, and like others don’t understand. Please know, you are NOT alone. Give yourself grace. You’re healing. Don’t worry about posting a million videos 💗 Hugs to you!!!

[@janetroice5569]

I have struggled with anxiety and OCD as well. I realized caffeine triggers mine. After going completely caffeine free I have become a different person. I still have occasional episodes but they are manageable now and not overwhelming. I hope you can find something to ease your anxiety like I did. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@windyacresway]

Same.....Caffeine was the major cause of my anxiety.Its a night a day difference since quitting coffee.

[@celestegarcia3093]

Thank you for sharing your true side never apologize. Sending you the biggest hug! Anyone dealing with anxiety or depression your are not alone. One of the reasons why I watch your videos is because you are so genuine and the amount of support you have here is a blessing❤

[@DollFayceXD]

A church nearby did a free yard sale and needed donations…I never knew something could give me so much motivation! 😂 I swear it looked like I donated the whole house- best feeling!!!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

So sweet of you to gift your mom a new bed. I have been decluttering all of my clothes and giving them to a womens shelter who help pregnant and abused women. All your blankets donate to a homeless shelter or animal shelter.

[@brendapinero9324]

My sweet Lauren, don't worry so much and keep on medication. Some day in the future you will be healhty in the name of God. Don't give up. You are like a daughter to me and I'll pray for you like I pray for my kids. Love your video like always. Love from Puerto Rico ❤️.

[@shannonhawk1431]

Lauren, i just love your videos and that you show real life. My house looks like a tornado wiped through it during the work week with two boys of my own. We just clean and reset on the weekend and then repeat the cycle. I too was on medication for several years (Celexa) for anxiety, and then last year went on vacation out of the country and forgot my prescription. It was that time in my life where i decided to try to live without it. Fortunately, it has worked for me to be off the meds, but i still have rough days. Don't ever feel bad for needing to be on medication! I was at a very low, low place in life when i went on anxiety meds and it truely helped me to be a better mom, wife, person, etc. I just decided last year to try life without it and it has worked out for me. There are times when i am feeling the weight of anxiety, that i wonder if i made the right decision, but i will do something to get my mind off of it and it passes...much like you did with your pantry. I will clean, organize or even go through decor bins and closets to declutter. Life is too short to be unhappy, so take care of yourself even if it means you have to take something for anxiety!

[@wendyinegbenedo1307]

Lol, I think of the snowstorm blanket "what if" as well. ❤️

[@sinjimuih1]

Oh sweet Lauren, I’m so sorry you experience anxiety. It is such a heavy burden to bear. I know what it feels like. You are not alone in this world. I love your videos and just your overall sweetness and kindness. I hope you can feel yourself again soon. 💜

[@lisarichardson7456]

Please please don't feel bad because you need to take medication you are an amazing lady you help others take your time and do what is right for you Love all the way from England xx

[@munajedski]

Thank you for talking about mental health. My hope is that one day we can think of taking medication for mental health as "normal" as needing medication for anything else. Wishing better days for you. 💛💛

[@KathyBurgar]

I agree, if you are diabetic , no one questions your meds and you know you need it so why is it different for Mental health issues

[@brendawright5296]

I totally get where you are coming from. I think people who don’t deal with it can’t really understand what it’s like. Like you, it helps me to stay busy. Organizing especially takes my mind to a better place and stops me ruminating.

[@jenniferkirchberg7824]

Hi Lauren, I’ve been following your channel for a long time. I enjoy and relate with you a lot on anxiety. I don’t take anything but at times I struggle with feeling overwhelmed. I have two teenage daughters and a disabled husband who had a stroke 3 years ago. I feel very down some days. Mom and wife life is not easy. Hang in there, you’re doing a great job! Make sure you take time for you too. ❤️😊 Jen

[@jessicamcintosh9008]

You don’t have to apologize! You take care of yourself so that you can take care of the boys. I know that you will find the right thing to help you feel your best. I will be praying for you!

[@J.O.Y.andArt]

I am so so sorry to hear about your struggle with anxiety, I now it is way easier said than done but what really helps me when I'm anxious is to just surrender to God. He is in control and always knows what is best.❤❤❤

[@maureenwatson9897]

Oh sweet, sweet girl, I so understand your experience with anxiety. I am almost 59 and have dealt with anxiety most of my life. I have had a successful career, raised my daughter and have two wonderful grandsons. I know my life seems perfect but I have struggled through it. However, I have learned to cope over the years and come to realize that I need medication. You should feel bad. If you are diabetic, you need insulin. If you have high blood pressure, you take a pill. Mental illnesses are no different. Our brains need help to function properly. There is no shame in that. Sending you all the love and support in the world❤

[@brendapinero9324]

God bless you ❤️

[@denicewilliams1165]

Thank you for sharing your story with anxiety.. no matter what, we’ll always be here when you choose to upload a video. I love your content.

[@SimplyjenniferN]

Thank you for sharing your struggles, as a momma and having struggles with mental health ( generalized anxiety and mood disorder) we can feel really alone and it helps to know that we are all dealing with something. I’ve come to the acceptance that I may always be on medication and always on the edge of falling apart and that’s just ok. We can only do our best with what we have. Xox❤ Jen

[@brysonsmama9710]

Omg I am the same way with blankets. Back in 2001 when I was a kid we had an ice storm and no power for 2 weeks. I now hoard blankets because you never know and I’m not gonna be cold 😂

[@karenacox8932]

Thanks for the video. Your mom appreciates you I’m sure❤️ And your boys enjoy the new mattress too 😬We are finally closing on our house this week and moving into our new one. My anxiety has been up. My husband tells me to give it to God, and I do but I don’t know why I’m in worry when I don’t need to. I’m sorry you go through it. I was on meds for 10 years and went off, so I know what you’re saying. I pray that it gets better. You have a great week!

[@emilyhammer4192]

I'm so sorry about your anxiety and OCD. I have both of those too. You are not alone sweet lady! And I totally get those feelings of not wanting to need medication. I've felt that too. Do what you need to take care of you ❤️ Whether that's new medication, exercise, sitting outside as often as you can... Whatever it may be.

[@carolinestaniski5675]

Therapy helped me a lot when I was feeling overwhelmed. My therapist always said to not do too much yourself by yourself. So I began to outsource things to make life easier: I pay to have my lawn taken care of instead of making my boyfriend mow it, have a robot vacuum to help w/ cleaning, I cook large meals or buy local meal delivery to cut down on the number or dishes, own less things to not need to move as much around or clean around it, stopped buying single use napkins and other things and reuse old washcloth rags for cleaning anything. All this change has really helped. including the organization part. I just found I don't have the urge to buy as much.

[@kristylocklear3294]

Thanks for showing the rough side of the home, it’s so encouraging to me right now to get a room and closet done in my home, it’s so relatable when you share things that’s not so pretty

[@mjs.2000]

I laughed so hard about the blankets. My husband and I litterly just did the same 2 days ago. There's only two of us. 1 bed in our home. 57 blankets as well 😂. We keep one really heavy duty sleeping bag for emergency. 1 couch blakets. 1 change out for our bed. It was a challenge because they were "nice" 😊. Great job 👏

[@thechaoticbunch6180]

Don’t ever feel like there’s something wrong with you because you need to take medication to help you feel better. I struggled with a little anxiety and depression here and there and I felt like I was weak for having to take medication to help me cope and function. But I’m a mom to several kids and life goes on and I need to be fully present and clear minded to take care of them so if medicine can help me then that’s what I’ll do. Just take it one day at a time!

[@emilyhoerr4775]

Hey girl! Thanks for sharing your struggle with anxiety. I also struggle with anxiety/panic attacks & how frustrating it can be. I totally get it!! You got this!

[@lindsayjohnson7536]

Lauren, thanks for being honest. So many of us deal with anxiety. One thing that finally helped me was to get genetic testing done to determine what chemical I was actually missing so that the correct medicine could be prescribed. It's hard to wean on a new med, stay on it for a bit to see if it works, then wean off, all to do it again with another medication. The genetic testing took all the guess work out and made such a huge difference. Now that the meds are correct, I feel like myself again. Perhaps that would help you as well. I do know my insurance didn't pay for it and it was like maybe $300 but sooooo with it!

[@barbarayalch2676]

Sorry bout you not feeling yourself. I have anxiety and have had anxiety for years. I clean or decorate or diy. Sometimes I just cry and rest cuz gotta let it out. You take of your family so well but make sure you get time out or baths or something for you to just relax and not worry bout doing anything. Take care love your channel!

[@stephaniepozoulakis]

Your mom definitely deserves all the things! And I’m so glad my room is all clean so I can come visit. 😂

[@Mimiandmomof4]

❤❤❤❤ Definitely time for a Sesame visit!!! We miss you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AyannaFootman]

Thank you for opening up about your anxiety! I LOVE your videos, please please keep posting.

[@annie-evedesrosiers403]

i started medication for anxiety three months ago and talking about helps me to accept it, so i'm glad that you're open about it and vulnerable, thank you for that. take care of yourself ✨❤️

[@LaurenMidgley]

I’m starting to think I need to go back on it. It truly was amazing for me, I hope it’s working for you so far!❤️

[@heatherakagamermom7790]

I’m adding another comment. You are not alone with how you are doing mentally. I’m going through some serious stuff too. It’s rough and it feels like you have to push really hard to get anything done. All I can say is take it one day at a time. We do what we can. ❤

[@judyfarmer2962]

The pantry looks nice. Doing just a little each day will help with the anxiety.

[@melindacampbell3928]

Great job and yes you were fast which is a good thing take care you are gonna be fine just relax and lean on your family if things get rocky and being on meds is just fine everybody has something to tackle and handle in life 😊

[@valeriekalal9159]

Hi Lauren! Great video! Your mom is so lucky to have a new mattress! Anxiety is no fun! I totally understand. Don’t be sad about the meds. It’s better to be on them and feel better than not! I hope you have a great week! 👍🥰

[@ChannanMUMX3]

On my high anxiety days I go through your videos they help me to not feel sooo alone , so THANK YOU XX ❤

Wow thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

Hang in there girl! You did amazing. I took have anxiety and it gets so overwhelming. Keep going, it gets better!! 💜💙💚

[@gaylaecockrell8065]

First time viewing, and I really enjoyed your video. Hugs to you on your anxiety struggles. It is really hard, but please don’t feel like there’s something wrong with you if you need medication. Everyone is unique, and that includes our brains and how they’re wired. ❤ Amazing work in this video!

[@chooleeng7761]

Good job girl, very neat and tidy.

[@sarahbrakey7824]

I understand where you are coming from with being sad to be on medication for anxiety. I felt the same way when I was put on medication back in 2020. I hope you are able to find a healthy balance!

[@heatherakagamermom7790]

I have been slowly decluttering my house. My husband is a happy camper. I’m gaining momentum with videos like this. Keep going. It looks so good and you are inspiring me to move my butt lol❤

[@vaughankeeney8979]

I have been on medication for anxiety for about 15 years, and I want to tell you there is nothing wrong with that. I used to feel the same as you, why do I have to take something for this?! After years of dealing with this, my view is that I am SO THANKFUL there is medication for this condition, I probably wouldnt be here today if there wasn't. I think so many people struggle with this and keep it hidden from others, but you are not alone.

[@traceysharpe733]

Hi Lauren Great video thank you for talking about mental health today. your doing a good job 😊

[@catherinehope6641]

You are not alone! ❤️👍

[@naomigoerzen2079]

Please give yourself some grace. Life can be hard even on the best of days. The last several years you have been through a lot of stressful situations. The impact of those things doesn't just go away. Wounds take time to heal. Be patient and kind to YOU. You deserve it. Also, needing medication to manage your anxiety is not a bad thing. It's no different than someone who needs medicine for heart problems, lung issues or allergies. You'll find what works for you and everything will be ok. You are very loved and special. Don't forget that. ❤

[@shortypShortyp]

Hi Lauren! That is so sweet of you to think of your Mom and happy that the brand allowed you to gift it to her. I’m sorry you are not feeling the best and send you lots of positive vibes! Hope you are having a better week!

[@brooklynkitty5419]

You are a brave girl! Thank you for sharing your struggles we all have them but you are brave to express your troubles. I suffer from anxiety also, finally went off meds at my husbands behest. He thought they made me slow like slow motion slow thought. I've been off for a couple years and have mostly good days but some bad. I just slug through them. I wish you the best keep your head up! So sweet about your Moms new bed.

[@bekahsummitt7718]

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

It feels so good to finally tackle a dreaded area. You did great with it! I’m sorry you struggle with anxiety the way you do. I prayed for you as you were sharing. Praying you can find relief and healing. Lean on Jesus, He cares for you. ❤

I loved the part of your mom & yourself on her new mattress 😍 how sweet ❤ I understand how discouraging it is being on medication. It comes with other issues. I have experienced this for several years. You don’t owe anyone an apology for taking care of your health❣️I will keep watching your channel, one video a month or every other month. Your health & family comes first.

[@patticake6032]

Lauren awesome getting organized and decluttering. I suffer from depression for over 30 years now. And at first because of the stigma I didn’t take medication. But after talking with my doctor and convinced myself to try it for my own mental health. I found it’s was I needed and thankful for medication making me feel whole again

[@katieferrell6756]

❤ wow Lauren you’re guestroom turned out so beautiful I absolutely love your bedroom outfit. I remember you had that and other vlogs that you had when you moved in your apartment you’ve had it for a while and it’s still in great condition. It’s so pretty I would love something like that for my bedroom, anyways I hope you have an amazing and blessed day. Love you sweetie keep doing what you’re doing. You’re awesome and beautiful inside and out! Don’t forget that.❤😊I just love your home 🏠

I always love the before and after tree rants so satisfying. This is the video I need. I’m having surgery come up soon and I’m gonna take your video to motivate me to clean and make sure I have things put away after I recover. & Lauren, I’m with you on wanting to keep the things but if it’s not a purpose anymore it’s time to get rid of it. That’s what I keep telling myself too and to either throw it away if it’s not in good condition or just donate it to someone who will actually use it instead of keeping it and moving it to room to room. So cute with you’re son when he was putting the books away and clapping when he was done & so sweet of you’re mom to get the books from her neighbor and hand them to you’re kids. So glad the mattress helps your mom now too😊 I hope you and you’re family have a happy Easter 🐇🐣🐰 💜💛🩵

[@MonicaRamirez-cs4vn]

Very nice you did a great job love the pantry keep pushing thru your doing great ❤❤❤

[@janelroseberry9108]

Please be gentle with yourself. . Your honesty and vulnerability is appreciated. If you need some medication to stay balanced it is ok. If it was diabetes or high blood pressure it would not be an issue! Anxiety is a chemical issue and not something to muscle through. You are too valuable as a person, wife, mother, and all your other roles to deprive yourself of the ability to relax n enjoy the beautiful life you have. I wish you peace, again give yourself the grace you would surely give someone else❤❤

[@KaitlinMcLaughlin_g2g]

Girl yessss! I can relate so much! I have just started going through my boxes from when we moved in a little over 2 years ago. I was pregnant when we moved so didn’t wear any of my “normal clothes” now I’m to the point where I’m just ready to donate the entire box without opening it.

[@stephaniesperkoski8539]

Lauren, I am so sorry that you have such crippling anxiety. I could hear your breathing in the video, and knew you were having a hard time.💔 I do totally understand how you feel. I started having panic attacks last Jan. I went to ER twice and even called 911 once. I swear I was dying. I have health anxiety and panic attacks now. I went to the Cardiologist multiple times last year as well, trying to get answers. I was sure something was wrong with my heart. I found a new doc who listened to me list off everything I had been going through, and she said she thinks I'm having PA. We decided to try an anxiety med, and after the first 2 weeks of he*l, trying to get acclimated to them, I started feeling better. I still have PA, but seldomly now. The anxiety is gone as well. We actually decided to double my meds, after having 2 bad months in the fall; and it's made a huge difference for me. I have never had anxiety in my life, so it was so crazy to me to get it at 48. But our parasympathetic nervous system does get wore out from stress. I had no idea how horrible anxiety is. It's so hard to describe and no one understands unless they actually have it. It hangs over you like a cloud, pressing down on you. I can't function when I'm feeling like that. I just sit in my chair and/or sleep. Now I can sympathize with those who suffer from it. I was going to try CalmiGo. Have you heard of it, or tried it? It calms the sympathetic system down. Might be worth a try for you. 😊 Don't worry about being on meds for mental health, or care what people think. You do what you need to do, to have the best quality of life for you and your family ❤

[@mjs.2000]

Oh girl... don't feel any guilt about meditation or anxiety. I have been on every kind of anxiety and anti-depressants for most of my life, since i was a teenager. I'm only just now feeling like I'm on a combination that helps. Anxiety is often just PTSD (a fear trigger). That can be a huge event from your past causing worry of repeating, to something very small. This weekend I had terrible anxiety going for my first PT appointment after a recent injury. This is because of PTSD (trigger) from a bad Chiropractor experience over 20 years ago that caused me significant pain. You're very normal. Everyone gets burned out also. Have No Guilt!! It worsens the anxiety and it's a vicious cycle. God Bless
