Hoarders Heart: Master Bedroom Mini Clean Out DeClutter Part 3! Spring Cleaning & Purging!

[@goldfishsnake]

I think keeping the stuffed animals together is a good idea, but also you could also ask your husband to have the boys _not_ buy you more stuffed animals, or physical gifts at all, and instead go out to dinner together or have an experience as a family for christmas and bday gifts. That way you don't keep accumulating! For electronics, look for ewaste recycling programs in your area, or take it to Best Buy and give it to them to recycle. In my area, you can drop ewaste in a certain area at the dump and Goodwill will even accept ewaste.

[@ahoardersheart]

So very true my sweet friend ♥️🙏🏻😘 And I will take it to Best Buy!! It’s near where I work!!

[@cathyscraftylife1309]

Awesome! What if you kept one pony that was given to you from each boy and then donate the rest to a children’s hospital, or a place like Vera house. I think you would have a somewhat easier time letting go if you know the sentimental items are bringing joy to someone else. Have a chat with the boys that you so love that they gifted them to you but you would like to pass the joy on to another child. I bet they would love seeing the joy on a child’s face when they donated those ponies. Just a thought. So proud of you! You are a true inspiration! 😊💖

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, that truly is beautiful 🌸💗 Thank you so much for sharing that with me!!!

[@stephaniebyrne7706]

You are getting so much quicker at sorting! Congrats!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much 💜💗💜

[@Iloveflowers2024]

This is a good clean and tidy up up. I love that you showed the cobwebs and are keeping it real. It is great you have a sense of humor. It'll be great when you can eventually get your windows done. It is such a good goal to have. To be able to open your windows. I love having windows that I can open.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesss!!! That is my goal 🌟 Fresh breeze through the new opened windows!!!

[@sooh6299]

Great job again! I agree with a bunch of the other people who commented that you should see when you gather all your unicorns if you can get rid of some, and if you can't, display them somewhere since you're clearly fond of them. And yes, ask your boys to get you something else like an experience for Christmas and birthdays. That way the ponies won't take over your house :) As always super proud of how far you've come!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much 💜💗💜 I am trying to focus on that too!! Enjoying the experiences and NOT shopping or bringing freebies into the house!!

[@alanbirkner1958]

October 2021. I have 3 stuffed bears. One from my husband, one from my daughter, one from my friend. I gradually gave the rest away to kids who visited. I take them out in late fall, and put them away after Valentines Day. Tina

[@joannefurlong9576]

Nice to see the bed was made. If nothing else gets done that day to organize or declutter, make your bed. It may give you the momentum to declutter another spot in the room. Keep going . It's starting to look Great! Remember that if you get the room organized, you can get new windows. That could be another small goal for that room.

[@frauleinmartin4859]

You could get one of those stuffed animal nets in your bedroom and throw all of the ponies up in it. Then, tell your family you’re good on the pony collection ;)

[@ahoardersheart]

Lol!!! Yessss! I love my Ponies that I have now!! The ranch is full!! Lol 💜🦄💜

[@T.R.P25]

"It's connected. IT'S CONNECTED" 🤣 You crack me up! 🤣I suggest putting the plushies in a box next to your nightstand as you are not ready to part with them, at least you now they are there. Plus, remember they collect dust if kept on a shelf. You can always donate them one day, regift them etc... Nice little clean corner you got😘

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much my sweet friend 💜💗💜 I did put the Ponies in a basket next to the night stand too🦄🌸

[@alishat4125]

I am by no means organized, but what about a shelf hung in your bedroom to display them? I am cleaning up my enormous paper mess while watching this episode, you inspire me :)

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe that’s a great idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me 🙏🏻♥️ And good luck on decluttering your paper, you got this 🌟🌟🌟

[@ltaj7336]

I like the shelf idea. Things that you love should be where you can see them and enjoy them! Even a bench in the corner for the ponies to sit on.

[@wlhampton]

But.. I mean, do you think her husband, as a grown man, wants to look at My Little Ponies in his bedroom? Doubtful.

[@cassandradabling2431]

You are getting so fast at making the little decisions! Good job! The basket of ponies is cute. Maybe tell your boys to only get you tiny plushies like Tsum Tsums or something. It sounds like your boys are really sweethearts❤️❤️❤️

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 Yes they are very thoughtful!!!

[@cindygray8322]

For goodness sake, don't let the My Little Ponies breed with the dust bunnies!! There would be freakishly large my little punnies everywhere!! LOL

🤣🤣🤣

[@cherylszwedo8657]

Glad you found a home for the ponies at the end of the video. Keep what makes you smile.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessss!!! Those ponies spark joy so I’m keeping them 💜🦄💗

[@valley180]

You can take the old phone to Best Buy! They also recycle charging cords and stuff :)

[@esterlyn7604]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple weeks and finally something I can comment on! My nephew, who is 7, loves to give my parents stuffed animals that he thinks they would like, but my parents don’t have a good place for them in their house. So what they do is they ask him to “babysit” the toys for them. Then, sometimes when they all go out together (like the zoo or a restaurant) they bring one of those toys on their trip and take pictures. So this way, he knows that they value the gift he’s given them, he gets to play with the toy, and there is always at least one picture of them enjoying it together.

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh I love that!! Thank you for sharing that with me 💜💗💜

[@roofee66]

Another bit done 👍🏻 Assuming you have a high shelf in your wardrobe, maybe you could put your ponies on that so you can see them and enjoy them without them taking up living space ? 💜

[@ahoardersheart]

That’s a good idea!! Thank you!!

[@sassyslsgrl]

you are doing a great job and should be very proud of yourself. if you wanna have ponies, have ponies, the point is not to chuck out everything you love but to make room for it by chucking the things you don't...personally Im a fan of those toy nets that go up in the corner and hold stuffies so you can look at it and say look at my stuffies or once in a while get one down but they are up out of the floor and out of the way without taking a ton of otherwise usable wall space

[@rokkenrobyn6462]

Think of this too, with gifts and such. You want to respect your objects and it does in a way respect the gift giver too when your gift is either loved, used, and it feels welcome instead of being a pile on the floor. I'm sure they'll love seeing you store them nice and neat

[@Iloveflowers2024]

You're right about the phone boxes. I used the bottom of my cell phone box to stand my essential oil bottles in and it is in my drawer.

[@Cherriebaby85]

I have been watching your videos steadily for the past week or so and I am so proud of how far you have come! I am finding myself "telling" you "NO! Tossy, tossy!" as you are trying to make decisions in the videos. :D Keep up the good work!

[@ahoardersheart]

🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much 💜💗💜 I can tell when I start cleaning I’m stronger at tossy tossy! But towards the end...the sense of too much loss has grown and it starts to trigger my anxiety/fears! But bonus I have decluttered categories twice and the second round I was able to get rid of things that I couldn’t the first round!!!

[@heatherroberson8981]

There are hammocks for the corners of rooms that are made just for stuffed animals. You could take the iPhone to an Apple store. I keep the iPhone box for the current phone that I have, all the others I’d toss.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much for all the awesome ideas & advice!!!

[@Sleepover137]

You could also put a shelf on the wall to display the ponies and other sentimental things. This way they are off the floor and you will have a reminder of the joy every time you look up at them ^^

[@roseandisabella]

It looks so good! It's very sweet that your boys gave you those ponies!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe! Thank you so much 🌸💗

[@ivyheathermcdonald3502]

Find a way to display your stuffed animals. I think someone mentioned you could talk to your husband and get him to suggest other things your boys could get you- maybe flowers, or plants for outside or going out to eat etc.great job!💕🤗

[@ahoardersheart]

I do love gardening!!! So plants are a really good idea 🌸💗🌷Thank you!!

[@wendier88]

Have you thought of a mug or pretty vase on the nightstand for a few pens and scissors? They will be ready to use, available, and have a home afterward.

[@lakbaydiva]

Haven't read through the comments, so I'm not sure if someone else mentioned it, but you could buy a net for your stuffed animals. It hangs in a corner. Maybe you could put it in your craft room...just a suggestion. You're still doing awesome! So very proud of you! 💖

[@JazzyBabe56]

Wow!! you did an amazing job!! and your floors are beautiful - now you can enjoy them clutter-free! I think getting a basket for the plushies is a great idea - decluttering allows you to concentrate on the things you love because your mind isn't being scattered by all the stuff you don't want to deal with. You're supposed to keep the things you love - REALLY love....and it looks like you're figuring out what those things are by doing all this......♥

[@ahoardersheart]

I just loved reading your message, thank you!!! You are so right!! DeCluttering lets me appreciate the things I really love!! I’m going to write that in my journal!! Thank you 💗🌸

[@nancywidows7264]

Great job! And I agree with the other comments about your sense of humor. That is the number one thing that has gotten me through life. So glad that you have such a great one. I totally understand about the little ponies. There are certain things that just have to stay. And even though you mention all the dust and stuff, it really isn't that bad, especially when two or three years have gone by and that's all the dust you have. I actually think you have a pretty well insulated house in order to have that small amount of dust. Everything you talk about is so relatable, I think to more people than you realize. Not just hoarders, but regular people. LOL. Sometimes, stuff just gets away from us. Like the empty boxes or empty bags. Day one, We think we might use them for something. And then we get busy and forget about them for years. I believe just about everybody has a hoard of some sort. And I also totally it what you said about not being able to bring somebody in to fix the windows because you don't want them to see your room. You're almost there! Soon, you'll be able to bring somebody in and not being in the least bit embarrassed.! I am so very proud of you!

[@caramoonlynn]

Heather, you ARE a little pony! Haha. I have been releasing 4 items from my bedroom per day. I even feel excited when YOU release things! A basket of ponies would be adorable.

I de-sized my childhood plushies a while ago. Those I kept (and my siblings who did not want to get rid of anything) are currently living on a pair of baskets on top of a high closet (I don't know what they are called in English but one of those with glas door you can store like plates or decorative items in. So not full height.) They are out of the way, looking down at me as I do stuff in what was our old play room. :)

[@lifesagame2006]

I keep so many empty boxes too, I keep telling myself I’ll use them but they hardly ever get used. I love crystals, I got a few on holidays at one time and they’ve been sat in a jar. I’ve found a cardboard shadow box online with little shelves in it that I’m planning on buying and using some of my decoupage crafty supplies to decorate. Then I’ll use up some crafting stuff and have a pretty box to display my little holiday bits and bobs in protected from dust. I really hate dusting all those little things! Maybe with the ponies you could have a little shelf with a few of them on up on the wall and put the others somewhere else but rotate the ones on display. I have a few things I want to look at at times in a shelf in my wardrobe in front of the boxes for storage so I look at them when I get my clothes but they don’t create a pile. Plus they get less dusty in there!

You are absolutely right 💗🌸 Thank you!!! My birthday is at the end of this month, so I will tell them that!! Especially plants bc I love to plant in my garden!!!

[@gwendolynnieman]

I am literally so happy for you and proud! I know what it means to be hoarding things and having difficulties to let go... honestly I didn't have as much as you but that is because I just had my bedroom at home at my mothers... but this rool was so cluttered and I did hold on to so many things... And I am really happy for you that you got your system by going trough sections in each room so you can really focus on things and also store things in their home in rools you already decluttered!!

[@gwendolynnieman]

And from experience: once you are finished decluttering everything as much as you are doing right now go through your things maybe once a year or what suits you best timewise... so you can look if something is not your liking anymore or out of date or otherwise garbage or something... so it doesn't start accumulating again... I have to force myself to do this every now and then but it really works. Also: I think many people told you this already... donating or selling things is really a good way to not feel guilty "throwing" things away... because of that I like the idea of the yardsale you menotioned you wanted to do...

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much for writing that me 💜💗💜 You know one of those cleaned out rooms started collecting stuff again 😫 It’s like that room is a magnet for crap!! I feel so discouraged but I know if I spend 15 minutes a day this week on it...I should have it looking good again!!

[@Tomumaja]

Since those Ponys are high sentimental-things for you, it would be nice to display them instead of stuffing them into a basket..? Could there be any idea to put (for example) a long curtain-rod on the wall and attach ponys there with small clips? Add some cord to adjust each ponys height. They have wings and I guess that means that they are meant to be in the air😀 I have had curtain-rod on the wall and its handy to hang tapestry or pictures. No need to drill holes every single time when I want to adjust the looks of the room.😊😊

[@92-gremlin]

I'm thinking that maybe when you are ready to redecorate, you should paint the nightstand white and put a couple of shelves over it to put some items, like one pony, the crystals, a picture of the family and whatnot. The rest of the ponies could be put in storage if you're not ready to give them away and rotate them on the shelves to keep one on display at times.

[@ahoardersheart]

Ohhhh I do love that idea!!! Thank you!!!

[@jenniferwright8355]

What about putting up a wall shelf and displaying the ponies on it? A collection tends to look good when the items are displayed together, and it looks intentional. :)

[@sallyadams8220]

Is your husband pleased with your progress?

[@anne-mariewildbore684]

If you love the my little ponies then give them the respect they deserve and get a display shelf or a bedroom chair or basket you display them on so you see and enjoy them. Things you really love don't usually end up on the floor, perhaps what you really feel when you see them is an external reflection of the love your children have for you. They love you unconditionally and they know you love them, not keeping things they made or gave at some time does not change the love you have for each other.

[@ahoardersheart]

I did put them in a pretty basket and they look so much nicer!!! Thank you so much 💜🦄💜

[@cherylcoolidge8249]

I keep my heating pad in the bottom drawer of my side table. That's a suggestion. Do you really need to keep all your stuffies? Pick you fav and let others go.

[@ahoardersheart]

[@Kygrl8]

I seen this like bean bag cover type thing u can buy and you fill it with ur kids stuffed animals and then it becomes a bean bag to set on...its like a stuffed animal storage that can be used as a seat. idk if that would help you but it seems like a cool idea to me. I could have used that when I collected monkeys in my 20's. I said goodbye to my monkey hoard and it was so hard but I did it...now I dont own a single stuffed monkey or monkey of any kind any more. and Im slowly becoming a minimalist,,I went from owning so much stuff to hating clutter.

You can actually take the phone to a Best Buy near you and they have an area you can recycle electronics. I've done that a few times when I had a broken hair dryer or other things and didn't want to simply trash it. They also take old cords and whatever else you might have.

[@jessie551]

Gah! You did so good. :-) You could use the iPhone boxes for organizing small things in your nightstand, if you were going to clean out the inside of it as well. Old cell phone can be taken to any drop box in most phone stores (like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) They should have a drop box inside. Our local Verizon refurbishes old phones and gives them to women in crisis. As for the MLP... I would ask your boys to each pick one that is their favorite that they gave you, and donate the rest. Think how happy they will make some child, where as they were just shoved by your bed, collecting dust before. :-/

[@ahoardersheart]

[@theashleyhand]

For the ponies I know you want your master to be a retreat and maybe they don’t match that, what about a simple ikea shelf high up somewhere like your laundry room that’s maybe a foot or two down from the ceiling that works as display and out of the way JUST for ponies and maybe the unicorn marquee light as a colourful display?

[@eavening4149]

Repurpose a sentimental or beautiful cup or container as a vertical pen and scissors holder?

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

[@elizabethb913]

Tech recycling is free at both staples and office depot. I believe that each person can take in 5-6 "items" per day. An old desktop computer counts as 2 items (the monitor and the cpu), a laptop and charger counts as one item. Note: my local staples tried to up-sell me on their points/rewards club, but having the points/rewards club is NOT required for recycle. If you are concerned about data or privacy you can always pull the SIM cards or HDD to keep and just recycle the carcasses.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you!!!! There’s a Staples right near my work!!! I’ll take it there!

[@kristymiller2098]

Our Kroger has what they call an eco ATM and it's for recycling old phones and sometimes (depending on the phone and condition) you will get money for them 😀

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh I love that!!!! I wish I had a Kroger near me!!

[@saraangel6696]

This is unrelated to decluttering. My mom is a teacher and she coughs a lot, so she would suck on halls and minty things, but her doctor told her (after a pneumonia she had) that minty things are a huge no-no, they hurt your vocal cords and your lungs more. She recommended instead water with a bit of honey, ginger and lemon. It works wonders for colds too, and if you ever happen to need to clear your voice or something, it really helps. It could be an alternative to cough drops in case you find yourself without them and in need of something.

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh thank you!!! That’s good to know!!!

I have a question. How many rooms do you have? To keep them clean once decluttered, try to clean one room per day. Or some small on one day. Plus do a 20 minute clean in the whole house just to bring things back to their place when you didn't manage to bring them back right after use 😊

What a wonderful idea!!! Thank you!!!

What about a shelf near the ceiling to display your plushies? Edit: you could put them in your bedside table if you remove whatever's in there now. :)

👋🏼 Hi! I had an idea 💡 I wanted to throw your way 😉 I know you feel sentimental towards stuffed animals and that’s ok! You may not ever get rid of them and that’s ok too- but I was getting the feeling you felt sentimental but overwhelmed a bit or even frustrated at the same time. I know you love the idea of transferring joy and it’s very fulfilling to you so I thought I’d mention this and see what you thought! You could take stuffed animals to your local children’s hospital, and you and your boys could pass them out to kids who have terminal illnesses. You would be surprised at what small things can bring joy to those children. There are some who are often in there alone due to their parents still having to work or just not caring. Unicorns and ponies represent magical and hopeful experiences and it would be a great message for those kids! It would be a wonderful experience for everyone involved 😊 just a thought- no hate whatsoever either way! But I know you were looking for ideas from people while on this journey 😉 btw- I’ve loved watching your journey so far!

I just loved reading your message, thank you!! I think that is an absolutely beautiful idea and thank you so much for sharing that with me 💜🦄💜

Put them in a wicker basket. They make you happy so, keep it where you can see it. Later on you will be ready to pass along

[@ahoardersheart]

Put the ponys on a shelf for display and maby find one or two to give to a loving deserfing child?

[@Sealprincess]

try donating a plushie, i know its sentimental but the keeping of all of them isnt compatible with your goal: space to live and grow and be happy and finding out who you are underneath the hoarder. i enjoy your progress and your videos so much, you are doing GREAT!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, thank you so so much 🦄💜 The Ponies are very hard for me to let go of...but not impossible!!! I did let go of one little Pony toy and it’s in my new video for tomorrow!! I’m proud that I was able to do that!!

Basket, hammock swing for plush toys. You don't have any shelves on your walls, there's another possibility.
