EXTREME DECLUTTER + ORGANIZE

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Well, we’ve made it to the finish line friends! This has been a great month of decluttering and organizing for me! My home and my spirit have been revitalized! Not only has the functioning of my home improved, but my thoughts have improved as well! I hope these videos have given you encouragement if you feel like you need to do some decluttering in your home! I know decluttering isn’t for everyone, but if you give it a try, you might just find a little extra peace of mind that you didn’t know you needed. 🫶🏼

[@francinehogsett3065]

Omg I feel you….i can declutter anything and not think twice about it but when it comes to decluttering organizers I get anxious 😂….you did great my friend 😊❤️

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Thank you so much! You hit the nail right on the head. I was definitely feeling anxious!!! 😬

[@lunizparlein173]

Me too 😂

[@rhondap8683]

Wow! You did a great job! 🎉 I'm inspired and think I will do this for the month of February. 😊

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Thank you! I hope you are able to accomplish your decluttering goals this month! 😊 please let me know how it goes!!!

[@MattMuschott]

WOW! What a month you've had! Such a great reminder to do a second pass (or more) as you may find things you didn't see or think about before. I really like the new storage piece by the back door. It looks like you have more space now and it just looks and feels lighter. It is amazing how we all keep evolving, learning, and growing. What worked in the past may no longer work now. Such a good reminder to keep your mind open to new possibilities and ways of looking at your space and whether or not things work well for you. Thanks for taking us along on your ongoing journey. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hello there, Matt! Thank you so very much! I really feel like this has been a great month! I know it probably sounds a bit dramatic, but it really has been life-changing for me. I feel a real shift in my thoughts and how I view my possessions. I’m glad you like the new little piece by the back door! I absolutely love it! It is very lightweight and it feels like we gained so much space! Every time we would bring things in from the garage, we were constantly having to maneuver around the corner of the nightstand! So nice to have it gone! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey! I’m not quite where I wanna be yet, but I’m getting there! I hope you have a lovely weekend and I still have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

[@MattMuschott]

@@MyBigTidyUp Thank you for the continued prayers. It surely was an emotional week. The service was lovely and it was nice to reconnect with some people, despite the circumstances.

[@capesalyers]

Good morning my friend!! Congrats on the month long declutter! You did beyond great!!! That’s how it’s done and we feel so much lighter and clear headed. I watched your video last night. Although I normally watch Saturday mornings, my husband is sick, went to urgent care and tested positive for “C”. So I’m home with him taking care of him. He got meds and is on the mend. The rest of the day will spent cleaning sanitizing and resetting my house. I hope you have a great weekend. See you next week!😘

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hello friend! I am sorry to hear that your husband is sick and had to go to urgent care. I woke up feeling under the weather yesterday and today isn’t much better. It sure seems like there has been a lot of sickness and flu going around. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery! I hope you are able to stay well friend! I know you will be busy this weekend taking care of him and your home, I hope you will save a little bit of time for yourself! 💛

Thank you, Anthony. I appreciate that!

[@danabrown2391]

You did an amazing job, DeeDee ! I LOVE your decluttering videos!

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoy them! It really makes me feel so much better about my home since I have Decluttered!!

[@jennifergentry144]

Hi DeDe! I have sooooo loved this series but I must admit - today’s declutter made my heart leap in my chest. I LOVE ORGANIZERS!🤣🤣🤣. I’m so impressed with the stack of them that you decluttered! I would have taken them all! lol. That is my weakness. For some people it’s shoes, makeup or clothes - but not me - it’s containers. But I agree. You don’t NEED every container but I do want them.😂😂😂. Thanks for reminder to double check previous areas bc decision fatigue sets in sometimes and you don’t get rid of all you can. I’m so impressed with all you’ve accomplished this month! That is a TON of work but I bet it feels great to let go of the clutter! Thanks again for the inspiration! Have a great weekend!💕

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hi Jennifer ! I am so glad you enjoyed the series! I understand why your heart would leap when I declutter the organizers, my heart was definitely leaping! I love organization and I love organizers and they make me happy just looking at them and having them! 😆 it really was the hardest thing for me to go through! I just keep telling myself that I have less to organize so I need to let some of them go! I really do feel like this month has been a game changer and I really do feel differently about some of my possessions now. I think it is something I’m gonna have to continue to work on, but I do feel like I’m headed in the right direction! Thank you so much for watching and traveling along this journey with me!

[@jennifergentry144]

@ - as always - it lots of fun too!❤️

Congratulations on completing another month of decluttering and organizing!!

[@MyBigTidyUp]

[@barbaradevaney4904]

Brilliant decluttering- I feel inspired to get into my cupboards ❤

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hi there, Barbara! So great to hear from you again! If you do some decluttering in your cupboards, let me know how it goes!!

[@gwenellison5386]

You did great! Isn't it amazing how we find so much to let go of even when our homes are already decluttered? Your home looks great and I like that you show empty shelves. They are okay to have. =)

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Thank you so much, Gwen!! You are right it is amazing how much we can find even after we think we’re done!! I love that I am having empty spaces!! it’s such a weight off my shoulders! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment!! 🤍

[@brandybarnett9953]

I have a hard time decluttering storage containers too, but I am getting better at it

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Me too, Brandy!! I definitely am a work in progress! 😊

[@molee8863]

I love a good box, spray bottles & glass jars too 😊. A few boxes are kept for my donations & temporary storage. The sprayers on those bottles for the most part are interchangeable & have saved me from having to buy spray bottles. You did a great job. Thanks for the motivation.

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hello there! Oh my goodness, I am the same way. I love a good box. A good bottle and a good glass jar!! Thank you for letting me know. I’m not the only one! I sure do appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Have an awesome weekend!

It sure does!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ColeenSewsChats]

💔 containers 😭. Yes you do have to make sure the sprayers work. it's so frustrating grabbing a spray bottle that doesn't spray . All the extras you found whoohooo nice job. I may have a container problem but it fits in the large container I have... so mischief managed 😉 I like the that song , We got this indeed !! Decluttering calms my mind , I would love to "help" my hubby declutter his side of our closet but I don't make choices for him . ( when he's home 🤣) WOW you were ruthless in the My Big Tidy Up closet . Impressive! LOL the antique curling irons . I may have one hiding . I've never been a big curling iron girl, straightener yes . Thank you for the inspiration ! 507 + 5 bags of trash 😯. I'm hearing frozen " let it gooooo" . Have a restful, peaceful , love filled weekend ! Love you to bits my friend!🧡🧡❤❤

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Oh my goodness! My day is complete. I have heard from Coleen, and her comment has been all over the place, just like my own mind!! 😆 which is why I have no problem ever following your thought process! Oh my mischief managed? I’m going to file that away in my own personal mind card catalog I love that! I myself have never been a curling iron person. I have been straightening my hair for years. I have a bit of a natural wave at the back, but for the most part, my hair is straight as a stick so it’s easier to go with the flow and straighten it than to be like a salmon swimming upstream and try to curl hair that does not naturally curl! Hot rollers is the only success I’ve ever had! Anyway, now that I’ve shared my hair history, let me say thanks for watching friend! If you love me to bits, I must love you too bigger bits! Thank you so much for supporting me and your friendship! 🫶🏼

Thank you so much! It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it was definitely worth it! It feels so great to have all of those things gone!!

[@karentoclean]

Wow!!!! That was a great declutter and organize haul!!! Over 500 items left your home. Way to go Dede. I'm sure it feels good to get it done. What is on the agenda next? What are you working on next?

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Thank you! 🤗 Believe it or not I’ve been going back through and updating some of the organizing. I’ve done since I Decluttered! So I will be sharing some of those updates, I also have a few new decor pieces that I got with my HomeGoods gift cards that I’ll be adding around my home. I’m looking to repaint some things gold that I already have and add them to the office and maybe the den. I want to do a day in the life with a lot of restocking. Remember, we haven’t bought groceries the entire month of January and we’re gonna see if we can go in a little bit longer! Those are some of the things that I’ll be doing next!

[@wandadavis2468]

I bought one of those tiny trash cans too! My granddaughter is using it for her barbies:)

[@MyBigTidyUp]

That’s a cute idea! That is a perfect use for it!!!

[@leabarto8156]

Hello beautiful! I did a second pass on my kitchen this past week, and I know my cabinets are sighing in relief. A lot of glass came out. I'm sure I won't miss any of it either. It feels so good, too. Have a wonderful weekend, my twin.

Hello Ms Dede, I’m so proud of you! Wow the final result is absolutely astonishing! you’ve achieved so much! Congratulations my dear friend! 🎉 what a great declutter, your house must be so light now and easy to manage! I’m proud of you again! Watch out you’re becoming the next minimalist influencer, and I’m here to cheer you up, as always. I love minimalism and simplicity, and hand made items, well consumable items 😅, so I don’t get any clutter…. Well my friend all you have to do is keep shining bright! You’re Amazing and your videos are an absolutely joy to watch! I love you so very much! ❤ Francesca -FL🧚🏻‍♀️

Great job Deedee!! Last weekend I got rid of more stuff and I was able to reorganize some stuff by using some organizer’s we already had and used for a different purpose!!

[@MyBigTidyUp]

That’s wonderful, Annette! I love using things that I already have for a new purpose!!!

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

WOW DEDE, What an accomplishment! I did a second pass on my home this last month and purged 174 items. I thought I was doing good since I did a gigantic clean-out all last year. You put me to shame but my house is much smaller than yours. All I can say is my attic is empty, I have no basement, we park both our cars in the garage and I have empty cabinets, cupboards & drawers. I would not have dreamed that you would find so much to let go of in your already pristine & tidy home! You are a credit to your profession. I have two random comments. #1- How many blue coats/jackets does one family need?? And #2 - You looked extremely PINK in today’s video.🤣🤣🤣 Good Night to my Wack-a-Doodle friend.

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hi Cynthia! Oh my goodness! What an accomplishment for you! 174 items even after you did a giant declutter is amazing! Your home sounds impeccably neat! That’s great that you have empty spaces, that’s what I’m working toward! I do not know how many blue jackets and hoodies we have! Lol! The majority of them are my husband’s because he loves to wear hoodies! Our favorite teams are KU Jayhawks, Kansas City Royals, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Two of those teams are blue that’s why we have so much blue! 😆 Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend!

[@nolasavedmysoul]

Wow that’s a huge month total! Just curious. Since you said you own an organizing business, why decluttering organizers that you could use for clients?

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hi there! 👋🏼 when I declutter and organize for clients I use new products that haven’t been used. Depending on their budget sometimes I use higher end containers sometimes I use dollar tree containers, but they’re always new. Usually, I just try to donate my gently used items. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to ask a question!

[@nolasavedmysoul]

@ oh that makes sense! 😊

[@annw1395]

Your "before" photos in your home are already way more decluttered than my home would ever be. So tidy! The containers killed me. You have plenty of room for them, and you have an organizing business -- why not keep them? You don't know what a client might need. If you didn't have room, that'd be different, but...... (Obviously this is a weak spot gor me! ) Do you ever film decluttering or organizing at a client's house? That would be great.

[@MyBigTidyUp]

Hello Ann! 👋🏼 the containers were hard for me as well! All of the new containers I have saved, but if they have been used, I don’t use those for clients. Different folks have different budgets so sometimes I will organize with higher end containers and sometimes I use dollar tree containers, but I always use new ones. The only time I don’t use new containers is if the client already has containers, they would like me to use. If you will go to my playlist , you will see “my big tidy up on the go” those are all homes. I have gone in and organized. As a general rule, I don’t record because many times folks are embarrassed. When I do record, I try to make sure I don’t film any thing that identifies the families. The “my big tidy up on the go.” Videos are some of my biggest transformations! I think you’ll like them!

[@jennyhall6614]
