Hoarders ❤️ EXTREME DECLUTTER I’ve Ever Done!! Backyard Shed Part 2 Clean & Organize with Me !!

[@ThKiwi]

Hooray!!You didn't just lose some stuff - you GAINED some stuff too! Space, pride in your accomplishments, peace of mind, those are all important possessions too!

[@alanbirkner1958]

December 2023. Every day, I get rid of at least 20 items. Like you, I am a crafter. I have a plastic shoebox for each type of craft item and each seasonal decoration. I spend very little money, and my favorite compliment is being told how creative I am. Tina, Al's wife

[@Rikichansan]

Yes girl, you pulled out all the junk inbetween your treasures and made the room usable. A great sucess. I can only imagine how long hubby has waited for this moment. You are able to get rid of unusable things now! And even better, you are able to let hubby help. You are a great team!

[@nancykaplan7163]

So impressive. you have crossed several hurdles 1.You let hubs help. HUGE. 2. You managed multiple hours in a clump. HUGE! (maybe because hubs was helping?) 3.That was a lot of decisions and letting very quickly. Is there another word for Huge? Enjoy having foot space in the shed. Love your a little bit and little bit and little more and little bit and a little bit and little more.

[@brittany1594]

Wow, so not only do you have more room in your shed now, but since you used the bins from your basement, you have more room in your basement now too! It’s win-win! Good job!

[@cheryleide4257]

Seeing you letting go of the car, lego table and chairs is great, another little one can enjoy it as well, like the sharing table

[@IrethEaron]

I always love to see you using what you already have, like the hooks and the bins. That way you utilize the stuff that was just sitting around and you further clean out an area (like the basement) of your house. You and your husband did an amazing job! Keep those videos coming, I look forward to the next one :)

[@MadameMinima]

7:20 "Maybe I feel proud of myself"????? Not only maybe you SHOULD REALLY feel proud of yourself. This is huge what you have accomplished. And for everybody, there is hope to get to the goal one has set!!! And you encourage people for sure with your videos hoarders and non-hoarders. 🥳

[@lrid3sc3nt]

You might want to think about putting the baby stroller in the basement with the rest of the baby sentimental items. You did such a great job! You inspire me to make headway on my home and yard.

[@Mar10la]

It looks so good! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 One day your boys are going to look back at these videos and realize what an actual hero their mom is!

[@alanbirkner1958]

I recycled a bunch of stuff today. I love to toss things I don't need. I also have a box full of things to sell. Tina, Al's wife

[@myfanwymorgan9236]

I get anxious just looking at everything. It is a natural emotion to feel overwhelmed with this. It's a good start.

[@josephdaly2015]

Well done to you and hubby 👏👏👏 It looks fantastic and so organised. Take a bow the two of you 🙇‍♀️🙇. Yes you did get rid of a lot and the fact that you were ok with that gives me courage to tackle a job I’ve been putting off for years. Thanks as always for sharing. Stay safe and healthy. Mary

[@Joy-zp5lv]

You can tell: You are healing! So proud of you! Love from Germany ♥

[@sonyahubbard3226]

Oh my goodness what a change! Glad you’re not feeling loss bc girl you have gained! I imagine you’ve gained respect and appreciation from hubby for making a shared space more usable. Too often on Hoarders, the children and spouses have such emotional trauma from feeling unimportant compared to the hoard 😢 You’ve gained un-hoarding muscle! 💪🏼 You’re gaining a better sense of organization and space utilization! And it will all eventually culminate in such inner peace and contentment, for the family to be able to move freely in any area, to not have your brain cluttered with stress, to have the self awareness to recognize and prevent any future hoarding tendencies, and to be a good example for the boys. Win win win! 👏🏼💜

[@blaireshoe8738]

A little birdie told me to say Happy belated birthday! The shed looks rad and the weather looks fair and now you can find all the things that are there! 💜🦄💜🎂💜🎉💜

[@lifesagame2006]

I love that you've reused the storage you already had and that you emptied from previous decluttering. It seems like so often I see people do a declutter video and buy a whole load of organisation stuff when they've already got things that could use or repurpose. It's so great to see the amount you've got rid of and you saying that you don't feel anxious getting rid of it shows how far you've come. It's a great example for the boys as well, seeing you get rid of the things that they don't use any more or don't fit them, they'll learn that this is a positive thing and use that as they grow up.

[@talithaschweitzer9467]

Oh my goodness. I have been watching you since your very first video and I am so proud of you!! You are AMAZING!!! 💖👍 and happy belated birthday!! 🎂

[@azazurahabdullah5995]

Hello, first of all congratulations for your success. I saw in another decluttering vlog that someone recommended taking pictures of very sentimental things that you no longer need or maybe have no space for. This way it helps maybe to part with it. Hope this could lend you a hand in letting go

[@kellyharris4639]

Huge victory!!! I am loving your channel. I've been tackling my mess for over a year. It's still a work in progress. I did a section of my small shed last week. I couldn't finish because the weather isn't good enough yet to put up the trampoline blocking more stuff. I did put out 4 bags of trash, an old patio set, a deck swing and random broken and good toys. I had a hard time getting rid of the old scooters, pogo stick etc. But once I put it out to the street and the neighbour claimed some things for his yard, I went back and got more. My patio stuff disappeared during the night to be up cycled. Small victories for big gains!

[@loladuran5658]

You should be proud of yourself cause it is ever hard however one item, one pull at a time Blessing

[@fleurdebee7024]

We are so proud of our girl! Thank you for explaining your feelings. When I helped my mom tackle her hoard, I watched her feel a sense of loss as her items were decluttered. It took almost a year for her to look back upon the experience without feeling sad. This process is very difficult. You are modeling how sometimes irrational and potentially unhealthy behaviors can be redirected. The fact that your boys also wanted to curate their items was so powerful. Ask Hubby if any of the longer lumber in the garage can be stored in the rafters in the shed. That might help make room for the bikes in the garage. You have a lovely home and such a nice yard! 🦄💐Hope you had a Happy Birthday!🎉🎂

[@johnputt2064]

I am so proud of you and your family❣️ I can see that you did ask for the family’s input. You’re getting better and better about making categories. I’m glad the boys and you were ok to get rid of some of the balls. I did that with our 3 sons. I thought more of our all’s were “playable”, but they helped me see what they truly value playing with. That helped me let go of more, knowing what we had is “enough” and that I know we don’t need more. I love how you started organizing with what you have! Applause 👏 for your husband!!! He did a great 👍 job too!!! Thought #1 💭: Maybe call the bike zone “The Bike Parking Lot”. If you want, you can take duct tape and put it on the floor to define each “parking space” in the bike Parking Lot. Thought 💭 #2: regarding the lawn mower and the wheel barrel, which do you use most? I would “park” what you use most closest to the door. I love how you are okay to not have every box. It’s nice to see that even though you love the memory of some things that are worn out now, you’re okay to love the memories, but value the space for what serves you well now. Flower 🌺 pots: keep what really brings you and your family joy. If you just put more and more stuff out things start to detract from each other. Maybe now is a good time to define “enough” yard decorations for each season. Congratulations on a job well done 👍, especially as a family ‼️‼️

[@2minobssesion4u]

i think you should make an area the shed a gardening space, once you get to the garage and get stuff in their more organized you could take the bikes there and move all those pots and stuff you have in the garage for gardening out to the shed. I think that would be a great use of some shed space and make gardening seem more like a special thing that you get to do. this looks so good even if it doesn't have exactly everything you imagined, people places and things are always a work in progress we just do our best to get what we need out of something as we go. so be proud of it now because you put in work and evolved it to where it is now.

[@CULady]

Awesome job! The Minimal Mom says It's like an onion,you peal one layer at at a time. You have done more than that!!!💜👍👏👏👏

[@Raxx777]

very impressive- everything is organized and has easy acess. Are you planning to do a follow up on the shed this Spring? Thanks for share- great job

[@bluejay5531]

AMAAAAAAZING!!!!! 👏🏻🍾🙌🏻

[@goldfishsnake]

This is awesome! I'd love to see you give your other spaces the "pull everything outside" treatment - it's a really nice way to visualize the empty space before putting stuff back. You're so lucky to have such a nice big backyard (I live in an apartment and don't have one!) Utilize your open spaces to be your sorting space :)

[@jeannebowes2898]

Stormy out so no yard today. Went through and found my tossy tossies for the day. Decluttering will just become a state of mind and painless!

[@jessiec1194]

I still can't do it all at once like that. Not by myself, great job both of you! Thank you for telling us the wheelbarrow stays, that was the first thing I thought when I saw it in the GO pile, lol.

[@elizabethlangheim9460]

Wow! Looks great! I would rethink the rafter storage. Usually that is the same as throwing it away except it is still there as clutter because no one wants to get the ladder and move stuff to put the ladder up and then wrangle stuff off the rafters while trying to balance on a ladder. It is also just a safety hazard for the one on the ladder.

[@daylilyindark]

Girl, you and Hubby killed it in the shed

[@josephinefay957]

I love how U had a mind switch!!!! This is a huge break through... Well done that takes years!!! Is called a "growth mindset"...so fantastic that U got to that...

[@carly1478]

Good job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️

[@nicholenolan3527]

I've been watching you from the beginning and can't believe how far you've come! I have never been so proud of a "stranger " before! Decisions are faster and easier for you as well as the volume you let go of. Way to go!

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

I waited for this all day! You are doing so well! I am glad that you used the things you already had to organize the shed 😊👍 Now you know exactly what is in there and have the summer things near by! Love it! Sending you all of my love ❤️

[@alanbirkner1958]

I had to clean my mom's hoarded mess more than once, she couldn't part with anything. Used teabags and empty toothpaste tubes might be good. Every day I get rid of something, at least 5 or 10 things every day. Yesterday I went through a drawer, and found a business card over 50 years old. My husband had misplaced it. Let your kids learn to feel good giving things away. Tina

[@thestrugglingperfectionist]

Yep, I need to see a ‘jumping up and down clapping’ emoticon here!!! You did so good and you let hubby and the kids help! Kudos for all that awesome organization and for all the stuff that’s headed out the door. For a moment there I thought you were going to micro sort the heck out of stuff but you didn’t and that’s good. I think you can overwhelm yourself by too specific of organizing. I wish I would have sent you pics of my garage before you finished up, I organized it quite well, but you did it in your own awesome style! It looks great! Excited for the next video! Can’t wait to see the progress on your basement!

[@sallyellis19]

Having watched so many of your videos, I think it's time to go back to all your decluttered spaces and pull all of the sentimental items out and place them in the basement, unless you are using them. The stroller, for instance. Don't keep it in the areas of stuff you actively use--you're causing crowding and friction. Once everything sentimental is in the basement (unless you're are using it), start to divide your sentimental into 5 year increments--age: newborn to 5, 5-10, 10-15, etc. It will help in processing your life and what things brings only good memories of those times. That will help in the declutter. Do that for each one of your family members. But until then, don't keep sentimental in your living spaces unless you're using it (like your care bear pillow case?)

[@darstill2195]

Great job! You got rid of quite a lot. If you go thru some of it again, in say 6 months or so, you might get rid of more. I still can't imagine kids going out there to get toys to play with though. Watch and see if they do over summer. If they don't then you know they don't care that much about them, and you can get rid of them. It will open up more floor when you get your hooks. Some of the dollar stores even carry some hooks. Great job! Good luck on next project!

[@demona1610]

this was amazing im so proud of you, keep up the momentum! I would love to see a updated House tour or something like that just so you can keep yourself in check not to churn the horde and show how big progress you did

[@pamelaperkinsbrown2770]

I am so happy for you both

[@emanzahran2772]

Every time I see your notification I harry up to see it Great great job lovely you and your hubby are very good team together keep going I am so proud of you 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@Benkissel1]

You completely transformed this space to make it functional... how amazing!!

[@michelehice8338]

Awesome..congratulations..well done!! Here's a idea..your rafters take plywood and in the back part make a attic..we did this in our garage and it gives you so much more space to put up and store items you don't need all the time..and also take wood boards and make shelves all across the back..you have so much space you can utilize..

[@lmk1971]

Great job. I can see how much easier it is getting for you to think objectively about the items. Maybe you will find some more hooks in either your basement and garage in future declutter sessions that you can use in the shed. :)

[@lydiaeddins2083]

Wonderful job! Also, you can reuse that red wagon for your gardening! So you can carry pots, plants and soil to and fro all at once.

[@o0Theresa0o]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (1 day late)! Really happy to see your husband getting involved in this journey with you! You did an amazing job :D

[@Leigh01877]

Yay well done!!! You’re boys are amazing too, not to mention your hubby! Your home will have everything you need and love organised and easily accessible, it’s not easy to give things away or dispose of loved but old or broken items, but, as you can see, it really does get easier the more you do and it’s actually becoming routine, addictive organising like you never believed possible!

[@colleenpomeroy3024]

Great job!!!! Like your categories! Lots of Blessings to others! So many kids smiles will fill up your hear that would normally be filled with stuff. Very Proud Lady❤️

[@eavening4149]

Wonderful! It was just a giant jumble before, but now you have what you decided to keep and yoi know what you have and where it's at. The larger categories will help you to find what you are looking for in a year or two and to know the total of what you have in that category. This will also help you to not make new or duplicate purchases. For example, my brother keeps buying baseball caps and sock, because he doesn't know how many he actually has as they are scattered and stored in multiple different locations. It is amazing! I am so glad that you didn't feel regret over letting go of that giant pile! You did good for yourself and your family! It's wonderful that you could have them help you as it helps them also! A family that declutters (or does anything, really) together stays together!

[@susanhenshaw639]

🤸WhooHoo🤸Yippee!!! So proud of you Girlfriend ❤️😘

[@roseannj12]

Im not a hoarder, but you give me so much motivation to keep cleaning and organizing! You are such an inspiration and I can see such a difference in you from the beginning!

[@greenwillow5404]

Wow. This was so inspiring! Your shed is so organized now. It really looks amazing!!! You and your husband make a great team. 🥇🏆

[@sharjo52]

You are showing your kids how NOT to be a hoarder !! Think about that when you are feeling like you can not do anymore!!! Seems to me that you have great family support !!! I am sure you make them proud every time you clean out more and more!!! If you have to touch everything to see if your want to keep it or whatever ,that is fine but maybe you could let family help you put it up somewhere, that you want, so they learn where things go and help you keeps things in right places. So you will not have to go back and put things up by yourself? You have come a long way!! You are doing a job!!!!!! I watch all your videos.

[@AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

😍 OH WOW 😍 Fantastic job!!

[@valley180]

Great job!! Maybe once the garage is cleaned out you can store all the gardening supplies in one place 😊

[@mintmin2072]

I was playing a game and as soon as I saw this notification I drop everything😁

[@JoJo-ul4qs]

Your shed looks really good! Awesome job! Keep at it!

[@Mar10la]

I relate to this 😂

[@traceyboyd5539]

Haha me too, i cannot miss an episode 😀

[@sarahh5935]

Wow! You did amazing! That get rid of pile is so big! Be proud of yourself!

[@lindamactavish6658]

Way to go, another great video, raw for you but honest too. You are doing a magnificent job and deserve to be proud of yourself x

[@meldinakartal823]

I am looking forward to the garage clean out 🙂

[@janehickenbottom9200]

You did wonderful!!! I was the same way the first time when I threw out a bunch of stuff. It was rough for a few days but then it felt wonderful. Be proud both of you!!!

[@stephaniewitherrite1638]

The shed looks really good, I think it’s always easier to clean out/declutter when you have someone to help you. Great job!!!

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

You did a great job! I love that you felt good about letting so much stuff go, it really shows how far you've come. I'm going to do my garage (which looks like a small version of your basement) once the recycling centres reopen here in the UK. I'm feeling motivated after seeing his well you're doing :)

[@melaniehumphreys6445]

Amazing! I love how you used what you had.👍

[@jeanninebringmann792]

You're doing so so so well✨it's amazing to see how much easier it's getting for you to get rid of potentially sentimental things. I also feel like you have a much clearer 'organisation inution' now✨

[@rosemurphy4131]

Wow!! Such an amazing job, getting rid of so many things. Don't feel too bad about the before, most families have the same problem and need to declutter shed & garage every few years!

[@barbarap6851]

Fantastic!! Items are categorized with those things you'll use soon, easily accessible! They just have to go back where they came from! You should be so proud! Great job!

[@espegameing4842]

I think it's not "what do I want to keep" because lets face it we want to keep everything usable.(the hoarder thinking),but its "what will we not use or is broken or needs a new home: for example doesn't fit or we have just outgrown.

[@nicihr4675]

Look at how good you did! I love how your family wanted to help and you let them

[@aliciab77]

Yes, always utilize vertical space

[@elainebewley9505]

Have you thought about doing the garage before the basement? The basement can be done all year round whilst the garage is weather related. Also probably a lot of the items in the garage is your husband ie ‘diy’ tools therefore just needs to be organised. Also seems a lot less daunting than the basement and can be done a lot quicker with hubbies help xxx

[@genevievesteier8228]

Yay!!!! You did it. Looks great, normal shed and amount of stuff, good ideas of bringing bikes to garage and pull out summer toy chest. You can now see that you can keep this progress up in your basement and onto the garage. Over time, maybe set up the nice furniture I noticed some where and move cube furniture to basement and garage to store basic household items. Also after all those areas...you can do another basic clean out and find more things to let go next year or the year after. Meaning you can revisit the shed to give more kids things away when they outgrow those ones in a year or two. And also after getting through all areas in your house you can re konmari again in future years

[@espegameing4842]

Looks great!

[@rosiehoy4736]

I never look at decluttering as a loss. I see it as gaining space.

[@ronda176]

Exactly what I was thinking. Try not to look at decluttering as losing things. Look at it as gaining space, time for more important things like family. People are more important than things. Unnecessary stuff just steals our time and money.

[@lisachaput2952]

Yes, you gained a big 10 by 20 space! Kids needs love, not things. That's what I realized after emptying many things.

[@Jaegre1]

It looks so great in the shed now! I think it will be so much easier to reach things now that they are accessible, and the rest of the organization will only improve it further! No sense in dealing with crowds though, hopefully you can find a quiet time to get the hardware store run accomplished soon

[@mayloomis88]

You did Amazing!!!

[@jeannebowes2898]

Fabulous work! Inspired me to give my shed and garage a good sweep out this afternoon. I always do a quick scan for tossy tossies when I do this. Gathered up the lame ballpoints and tossed. Replaced with a fresh new package. PS Wednesday. Did the good sweep outs this morning. I check for leaks and any critters when I do this. Worked on garden prep for two hours while Alan mowed and weed whacked , will continue tomorrow. I have written a list of odd chores to finish up tomorrow. Early dinner fixed and cleaned up. Cheating with a frozen entree for tomorrow night. Taking a break.

[@brandilyynn]

What a difference! You should be so proud! It's so awesome to hear you rewiring your brain in real time and changing your old thought processes ❤

[@caramoonlynn]

I'm so glad nothing blew away in the wind! Heather! I gots the walking pneumonia. I'm so sad. I have no strength to work down my hoard.

[@StormyRiver8970]

Yes, queen!!! Thats such an accomplishment!! 👏👏👏 bravo!

[@judyavants7387]

I have been in my room going through things in the drawers. There is so much in the drawers.

[@ronda176]

So wonderful to see and hear your mind shifting away from hoarding. Keep up the great work! Have you ever tried taking pictures of sentimental items? I had a couple things I had a hard time getting rid of until I realized I didn’t need the physical item to trigger the memories. Not only is a picture easier to store it’s also easier to look at more often rather than the actual items getting buried under other things never to be seen for years.

[@thebeachyfarmhouse6410]

You did great. I can see a mini update coming were you show us some more stuff got hung up and maybe getting rid of a few more things😘👍💕

[@JoanDam248]

You did so great! Go you! Try to look at the things you get rid of as something good. You have used it, and no you do not need it anymore. It is better to let it go, instead of it is taken up valuable space. 😊❤️

[@caterina4151]

Great job. It looks amazing!

[@graciey328]

I am so proud of your accomplishments thus far! You're doing great! Keep up the amazing work.

Hello from Germany, i'm so proud of you, very good Job, be Safe

[@soniespindola]

This is great it look like a family shed now you have everything you need and it easy to get to .. .i was going to tell you carry a lil book with you in your bag and write down the things you have..so when you go out and ask your self "do i need this" check you inventory book and say no i have it i dont need it or yes i ran out i need it...its helped me cuz i forget all the time ... Congrats on the great accomplishment with getting your shed organized.

[@minimalzebra]

You decluttered a lot . Proud of you friend ❤️❤️❤️

[@jessicagoodwin3408]

You are doing great! So much growth every episode! The key is doing what you can and not pushing it. ♥️

[@wanderlust9372]

I was thinking you could maybe donate some of the balls to an animal shelter or something We often think of giving them towels but these poor things deserve to play too I don't know if you have one nearby, once lockdown is over ofc Good job on the final result !!

[@fabrichkagreshka2533]

Great job HH! Can not wait to see how the garden pots will turn out when you (re)plant them :)

I have 2 building & house to go through. One is my craft building to go through then my son has a building go to go through it . our house is next door we moved into my aunt house so we left a lot of things that I"m going to go through. Wish me luck. I can't do much because of my back.
