Hoarders ❤️ Extreme Declutter in the Basement Part 27! Cleaning Motivation

[@Shepz963]

Setting physical limits is a really smart idea for your Dalmatians!

[@ishadalal9034]

Can we get an updated basement tour to see how much of the basement you've gone through and how much you have left?

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhhh...that’s a very good idea!! Thank you so so much for sharing that with me ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@kim-mairyan8202]

Yes!! I would love to see this!

[@theurbanthirdhomestead]

Yasss! I kept hoping you would swing the camera around!

[@julsmorgan78]

:) I was clicking in to ask that too! I have a feel for how much you’ve done and I’d love to be able to see all your hard work in one go! I’m super impressed by the clearing you’ve done and also the grouping you’ve got going on - empties, sentimental, yard sale, Christmas. For someone who thinks she can’t organise there’s little snippets every episode that tell us you’ve totally got this! :)

[@jodicrain1753]

I so agree!!! But then I don't. For me, it's just the anticipation for each individual video. I'm excited with the progress Ms. Heart has made, and can't wait to see the final product!!

[@ch-lara2384]

The boundry of a dalmatation-box is very good. Maybe you have a white box where you could paint black dots on it? That would be the perfect label 👌🏼

[@patriciachicco9763]

Ooh cute idea!!!

[@zoshi4161]

I love this idea!

[@ahoardersheart]

CH-Lara oh how cute is that!!!! I was looking for a red bin but I LOVE that idea ❤️❤️❤️

[@meimei295]

A domestic. Violence shelter would benefit from donations of baby clothes, (old or new), women's clothing any body wash and or kids toys. Not to take away from other donation causes, but people fleeing from home leave with nothing. If that baby tub doesn't sell it will be thrown away. At a women's shelter it would definitely get used. You have such a lovely spirit to want to help others! Thank you for your videos! ❤ PS no guilt on the donations.... just wanted others to know that community resources are needed desperately. Blessings

[@terrytaddei6799]

I have so much tissue paper. You just showed that you are really getting the idea that you don’t need to keep such large quantities of things. You are doing a great job. So proud of you!!!❤️

[@roseandisabella]

Superwoman! You're kicking butt! You can really see the difference in the way you talk yourself down to calm down during the tough decisions!

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

What is nice now is that you are laughing at yourself and your previous decisions

[@NoodlePoodle1234]

Great declutter! You rarely show the whole basement, it usually feels just a bit cluttered, but now I understand why. Just seeing the massive scale of the whole thing is so overwhelming. It really is smart how you are focusing on just a basic frame before and after, and hacking away at it slowly. I’m looking at my to do list today and getting paralyzed and major anxiety... but I think I need to break it down into baby steps like you have, narrow my list and keep little blinders on. Thanks for sharing as always. Love seeing your progress. 💜✨

[@chreudinegueur6367]

You're very inspiring. Your grit, your overall kindness to yourself and to others and your patience with the process is admirable, and I'm trying to be more like you. My struggles don't lie with hoarding, but your attitude is an excellent model to follow. Thanks for sharing!

[@susanc269]

❤️❤️all the hearts to you!! You are the most wonderful human being, your genuine advice and genuine healing are sending ripples out into the world. I never thought of myself as having a “hoarding” issue but that was just my self denial at work. I hoarded a few craft supplies and just recently de cluttered a great deal.....with your loving affirmations ringing in my ears, I managed to let go of so much. I feel so much lighter in my heart and it’s thanks to you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JMJMJ1]

I watched your “son declutter video” about 4 times, it was so good. Excited to see more 💚💚💚

[@whit7862]

Hi, it's looking great! Are you motivated at all to organize totes into like piles? The way you put all of hubby's stuff in one place. Maybe one spot for sentimental, one spot for crafts, one spot for baby stuff, one of empties (!!!). You already did a great job stacking the yard sale stuff together.

[@ahoardersheart]

I am actually (motivated to organize!!!) Thank you for pointing that out!!! I do need to record a separate video of organizing what we already went through!! Thank you so so much for pointing that out to me!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@SalsaNube]

Aww, I wanted to hug you, when I heard you first sight and then say out loud you will give away the child bathing tub! I can imagine how much that means to you! And I wanted to jump up from happiness when saw the empty box. And it is a huge one! That shows how far you are in the process. You start finding empty boxes! And big ones! Would you believe that? How cool is that! You are incredibly strong. And have no idea how much you help others both understand a hoarder's mind and those who suffer from this to see it is possible and doable to heal. Big big hugs to you, Mrs. Heart! Keep going! Awaiting the day we will all celebrate Your completed journey! :)

[@crazycroney]

I’m beyond excited about the Xmas konmari!!! You can make huge headway’s with letting go and making lots in FB and selling Xmas. As for the Dalmatians, I know you have more boxes from before. I think konmari’ing them all together would be best. Give your self a bucket to keep Then put a giant lot on eBay and sell the ones you don’t want. Love you gal. You are doing amazing

[@tngirlz4622]

👏👏👏👏👏SO impressed by what you’ve accomplished! You worked HARD for that open floor space in your basement! Fantastic job deciding to let the baby bathtub go - I, too, have kept baby stuff WAY past when it was needed, lol! You are an inspiration, Ms. Heart - your basement looks a lot like my basement. Thank you so much for making these videos - you’ve inspired me to take that first step downstairs to deal with it! 😊

[@corinnestauffiger5693]

Hey, do you realize that you are gaining speed? I have the impression that with every episode you are faster. Keep goning, you are such a motivation for many people!

[@jademcarthur]

I love that you now have a corner just for yard sale. It will make it easier for you to sort and know to add to that corner and not mixed around.

[@brandonc.5663]

Another wonderful video! And you made such a great decision with the one tub dalmatian limit. Are we going to see a series of you getting the playroom ready for your younger son? Hope you're not burning yourself out with everything you have planned. Take your time :) good luck

[@kim-mairyan8202]

Love it when you get an easy win at the end! Way to go, past Mrs. Heart!!! It's a great way to end after going through all that paper. Great job!!

[@julsmorgan78]

Oh my lord - you are truely nailing this! I totally understand the mental fatigue with paper. To get through that whole box in one session is amazing! It just occurs to me that with all the comments regarding selling bits and pieces... now that you’ve gotten rid of the Discover card debt... maybe you could start a sinking fund and put a portion of the money from selling bits and pieces in there towards the basement redecorating... or even towards a special cabinet to display all your treasures once you’re done. A “little” treat to work towards as well as the mental space ;)

[@heathergruenberg3273]

How exciting to find an empty bin!! They will come in so handy when you get to decluttering and organizing! Good job!

[@karenreed509]

Wow, you are still going strong.👏👍

[@veramarques6573]

Hello!!!! I am watching from Portugal, do you believe that??? I’m loving your journey, and I have to give you congratulations for your determination! I’m not a hoarder... But I am on my journey to minimalism, and your videos help me motivate!!!! Keep up the good work, you are doing great!!!!❤️

[@quehagomarta]

I am watching from spain and also in my way to minimalism! We can do it!! :)

[@carolynoquinn1638]

SO proud of you! You got rid of a lot!

[@eavening4149]

Wow! What a powerful decision about the dalmatian box! Way to go! Thank you for your beautiful encouraging words! This weekend I worked to make a secondary office in the basement. There is nothing so motivating as needing to reconfigure the space for a different purpose. We plowed through for 5 hours and regained half a room! Similar to your sentimental feelings, we feel so hesitant to let go of paperwork, because of experience. Sometimes, yes, I need a paper that is 25 to 40 years old to prove something. Like you say, paper is just draining. I think the most difficult part for me is to set up the categories of keep and toss. Once those categories are set, it's easier to just put each paper where it belongs.

[@ellenstam-mulder3002]

so proud on you it get easier each time. you can girl. you make yourself proud and your boys see how you grown and do let go off stuff. so proud you healing and that is big. big hug Ellen

[@maurahennessy444]

Hey! I have seen you on so many of Miss Heart's videos and you always leave the nicest comments so thank you for being so kind!💜💜💜

[@ellenstam-mulder3002]

@@maurahennessy444 thank you. If I can motivate people for a live that they wanted is it a little thing that I can do. To motivate them. And to be kind cost no dime.

[@o0Theresa0o]

Yaaaaaas queen - you're KILLING it! You should be beyond proud of yourself :D I am so excited to see it when it's done!

[@catharinab8860]

You sure did push through in this episode! 🌟🌟 Love to follow along on your journey!

[@Judith-H7]

Amazing.... you doing so well..... I still struggle.

[@josephdaly2015]

👏👏👏 that was amazing. Don’t forget to label the bins. Well done with the baby bath 👍 Omg all the paper that went, fantastic work. I roared laughing at the random lid. The fact you’ve a bin labelled yard sale will be a great start next episode. I love when you find an empty bin. The space is looking brilliant. Stay safe and healthy. Joes wife Mary 👏👍🦄💐

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you Mary 💖💖💖 I just love reading your messages!!! Thank you for being my friend!!!

[@josephdaly2015]

And thank you Miss Heart for being mine 💖🦄💐

[@valeriehopkins644]

Big difference. That section you're working on use to be so dark. So bright and clear. Keep on truckin'!

[@2jesusIbelong]

Nice!. at one time I hoarded baby clothes and papers my kids gave me & their toys. Felt amazing to get rid of most of it. Your doing great!

[@goldfishsnake]

There's nothing like the magic at 11:11 when you find a giant empty bin! score!!

[@Laura-gm4xs]

Maybe you can try to put Christmas just in GREEN tubs after the konmari 😊 and make a Christmas crafting tub and a Christmas regifting tub!

[@MissVasques]

Very proud of you. Big chunk leaving there.

[@thelissoway6758]

Girl all your vintage items would sell like hotcakes on ebay! All those dalmations ect would bring you a nice amount of cash! Maybe when you finally go through sentimental you can look things up on ebay and maybe that will help you let go because you can see how much cash they will bring. Also over the winter i would go through your garage sale bins and put them on marketplace. You can sell things for higher amounts and sell more

[@withyoctopus]

That's what I thought, too. It's vintage. Original. Probably worth something to a collector or other.

[@kellyharris4639]

That Wonder Pets Fly boat is worth a lot, too. A coworker paid over$100 to get a used one.

[@katesims8028]

Ehhhh, it heavily depends on what she has. I sold on eBay for a few years and the market isn’t all that great. I was selling my “super rare” original Beanie Babies for 1-2 dollars a piece. I ended up frustrated and gave them all to either my kids or friends’ kids (I had a 500+ piece collection).

[@ahoardersheart]

The LissoWay thank you so so much my friend!!! You always have great advice for me ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

Great job on letting the old baby bath go!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my friend 💜🦄💜

[@cesileelambert8468]

The open space is looking amazing. Great job Mrs. ❤

[@evawerkland1090]

Well done as usual :) !

[@alanbirkner1958]

November 2023. I have 6 stuffed animals. One was a gift from a friend, two were gifts from my husband, one was from my daughter, the others I saw at a rummage sale and had to have. Tina, Al's wife

[@Laura-gm4xs]

Great job ❤️ I'm so excited about the Christmas konmari in a few weeks 👏🏼👏🏼

[@miriammcgee]

That baby tub can be a blessing to teenage mom center or a house of refuge for abused moms. You did good. Keep at it. Small and simple things add up!

[@3boymama]

I saw tissue paper and thought you wouldn't, but you did! Yay🎉

[@marilynvenegas7266]

I have a hard time giving up tissue paper because I use it up so much. I make paper flowers nearly every holiday and with Dia de los Muertos coming up...WOW!!!! 💗💀🤪

[@gwendolynnieman]

It already looks so much better! I am so proud of you!❤❤

[@vanessaholland4574]

It does feel good to declutter and organize alot of stuff

[@thestrugglingperfectionist]

Another video where you did super great! Way to go on the Dalmatian tote boundaries, that’s a great idea! You really went through a good amount of stuff; even I was tired watching during the paper declutter piece! Ha!! Keep making great choices!! I’m so excited to keep cheering you on during your decluttering journey! PS. I think you should sit your home gym stuff together by hubby’s stuff! Also, 1999 is NOT old! Many good things happened in 1999! Ha! 😉❤️😁

[@letsorganise4345]

I am loving your decision making, I wish your videos can go longer, I always get excited what's in next tub😂great work my friend. I am beyond proud of you ❤️❤️❤️

[@carly1478]

Part 27 !?! . Great job for not giving up. This is going to be motivational to so many. 👏👏👏💗

[@gapeach51170]

Great job! I currently have a laundry basket full of paper clutter left ( there was A LOT more than that at the beginning of the year) . Paper clutter is my down fall :(

[@labsareperfect]

My mom and I have the same problem! Especially medical paper, that’s the worst.

[@ahoardersheart]

Wow, you are doing amazing!!! I am so incredibly proud of you!! Paper is my downfall too, I have so much of it ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@labsareperfect]

That was so quick! You did such an amazing job in making good decisions!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@cerridwenrowan]

Proud of you beautiful 💖. Outstanding progress! How quick did you make those decisions!?! Sentimental? Bam! Decision made, moving on and you did so much too! 😊

[@ahoardersheart]

LOL!! Your message made my heart so happy!!! Thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@JoanDam248]

You are going to get so much free space in that basement 😊

[@bron3936]

Great job! It’s obvious now that it’s becoming easier for you to let go. You must be so proud of yourself 😁

[@ediefolta9494]

Congratulations on another purge! I think the most touching part of your journey is that you are making the decision to embrace your present and the life your family is living in the present, and not having to hold onto the past for comfort. The more you love the way your boys are now, the less you are having to cling to your memories of them as babies and toddlers. It is sweet to see, and you are so good to think of sharing things with other mothers and children who are at that stage in life. You have made amazing progress!

[@emmapayne8861]

Wow that was a big pile this week, well done!

[@jeno264]

Huge amount of work today!! You are doing such a good job

[@celinecaizergues1564]

It's wonderful! Keep up the good work !

I am glad your motivation is keeping on as I have a hard time staying motivated myself. I know it's not always easy but you are doing so well and every week you clear out a little more space for your family.

You're doing so great lately. I am very proud ❤️

[@princessannika1996]

Since i know you might want to have another little one i Just wanted to say that you dont need a babytub to wash a Baby. I never Had one and it is one Thing less to get rid of once the Baby is too Big and i honestly never missed it

[@cesileelambert8468]

You did great. I feel like the decisions are getting easier for you.

[@rosalynrn]

I'm so proud of you! You go girl... BLESSED in Pennsylvania.............

[@jeannebowes2898]

I have time now to take a look at our two Christmas tubs and reassess what I have. I am getting ready for the holidays as much as possible. I am just gifting consumables in stockings this year for Alan and son. We have our favorite Christmas items plus I create with greenery from the property. Excellent decision for Dalmatian tub to limit your collection.

[@alicequinn5194]

Well done another great sort out ☺️ Xxx

Thank you so so much my beautiful friend 💜🦄💜🦄💜

[@alanbirkner1958]

May 2023. I enjoy watching your progress. My daughter, with ADD, continues to declutter. Tina, Al's wife

[@xsweetcrisx]

With the Dalmatian stuff maybe you can use some of it? Like the pencils? They can be school supplies for your sons for this year. Just an idea ❤️

[@sarahspinks516]

Another great job honey! I always get excited when I see your declutter videos, I love to see what you find! I am so excited for the Christmas konmari, and if you do it soon you could sell or donate bundles for people to use for this year too!

[@barbarap6851]

Great job, Ms. Heart! I am enjoying watching your progress! Just keep on going, keep revisiting your areas and you will continue decluttering! Can't wait for the Christmas Kon Marie...I let a bit more go each season.

[@n2wabbit]

I love it, way to go.

[@Rens27]

When you're going to do the konmari on the Christmas stuff, maybe you can break it down into smaller sections: konmari on the tree ornaments, konmari on the lights etc. Maybe it'll ease your anxiety

[@southernkudzu9107]

Another great job!

[@cynicallyyours61]

Fantastic job

[@wanderlust9372]

Ok I'm just at the beginning of the video BUT I really love the setup on this one (when you're speaking before decluttering), being able to see the majority of your basement and thus having a larger look on the progress you make along the way, really diggin' it ! Ok so I hope this year you'll do amazing gift wraps with all that tissue papers of yours x)) !!! use it ! bring joy with the colorful tissue paper wrapped around a wonderful gift !

[@joannevenz5045]

I just love watching you. From when you began the basement til now, you have improved in your decision making and letting go. ❤️

[@leabarto8156]

Awesome job my beautiful friend!

[@lizzyg3487]

Just wanted to let you know how proud I am of my husband. As I said earlier he just recently gave me the all clear to do a massive declutter. I started in our room that was in the worst shape, the library. He and I (and our kids) love reading. And we have so many books. But we don't read them very often because we have e-readers. But I still knew he would have a hard time with so many books going out. And yes occasionally he'd see a book and ask me about it. But once I'd go through my reasons for getting rid of it. Every time he agreed with me! Now all our books actually fit on all our bookshelves and in that room. So that has been a nice big start for us. Next I'm doing the living room. Wish me luck!

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhhh...thank you for updating me on your library and I am so proud of all of you ❤️❤️❤️

[@trixiejoh]

Bravo!

[@thebeachyfarmhouse6410]

Can tell that this was a hard episode for you. But you did do great ms Heart 😘🤗🥰💕

[@Raxx777]

Love watching these old vids until it gets warm enough to resume the journey. Best Wishes

[@melanietrester]

Hello from Germany, hi miss Heart, make for every thing a Pile, one for hubby, one for Kids, one for sentimental, one ..... And so Go on ...

[@ahoardersheart]

Hello my beautiful friend ❤️🇩🇪❤️ That is so true, thank you so much for your wonderful advice!!!

[@loribrentano3042]

Great job! Smart decision on designating one bin for dalmation stuff. I'm working on the "one bin" rule for my stuff too.

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh good!! I’m cheering you on your decluttering journey too!! Whoo Hoo!!! We got this!!!

[@jessiec1194]

You are amazing.

[@aranzazugalangonzalez7464]

Sell the Dalmatian stuff. It is highly demanded. You can buy nice new furniture for your kids rooms!!!! 😘

[@Masonsept2011]

I’d love to see an updated progress of the basement video.

[@kbal1451]

You have got so much better at putting like with like, so much quicker! So happy to see you sort another bin of random stuff, another one behind you. Great idea putting all the Dalmatian stuff together and setting a limit on the volume of it. One day soon you'll be able to Kon Mari it and will probably make a little money on what you let go. Looking forward to the Kon Mari on the Christmas stuff (November 1) and a separate one on the craft stuff (Jan/Feb 2021 ? ). Will you have another Yard Sale before Christmas?

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

Me and my sister had very similar care bear and my little pony mugs in the 80s :) Paper is the worst, you have to touch so many items that are in a very small space and it takes so long! It feels like it takes forever and so much brain power for not much reward. I know most people would say to just chuck the whole box but I need to go through each piece individually or I'll worry I've thrown out something sentimental. Normally I do throw out 99% of old paper but having to check it all first is the only way I can. I imagine you are the same and need to double check each piece just in case!

[@ahoardersheart]

You are soooo incredibly right!! You explained that perfectly!! That’s why paper is my arch enemy!! Lol

[@rosearthur983]

Wow Mrs. Heart.💗, You got a good chunk done in the basement , leaving yet another clear space to be seen. 👍 Hooray for you!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
