I really hope this Hoarder Pantry Declutter was helpful for you or just helped you to feel less alone! Thank you all so much for being here! Love you all so much! 🤎💪🙏🦋

    I feel like you are still in a phase where you just move things from one place to another.
    I hope in youre journey you can start to get to real decluttering. I'm rooting for you!! You are already doing great ☺️

  • @itoshiibaka8267

    Three tips to share:
    1- you can clean on a different day from the declutter to spread the energy out
    2- pit heavy items like cans and jars on the floor or lower down
    3- as you start using up some of your overstock, you can start putting the oldest can or box at the front of the row so it's easy to tell what needs to get used up first.
    Wishing you the best!

    It's so amazing to me how other mothers like yourself declutter just the same way that I do. Right down to the sitting on the floor and moving the cans to their sections.

    I hoard plastic bags BUT it's all about using them! I use them to take out the trash, I use them as trash bags for those little bins in the bathroom, I use them for decluttered items (I take stuff in it to goodwill). Highly recommend!!!

    You did a great job and well done. My advise, would be to look at your organized pantry weekly before doing a grocery shop and see what you have and include it in meal plans, so you're not over buying something and that food doesn't expire and go to waste. Basically, start using what you have as I notice most items will last maybe 2 years max, help to rotate your stock.

    You and Marina are my cleaning gal pals. Since I got covid in April my life has been nuts. I’m just now getting off oxygen. Sometimes you girls wear me right out and I have to pause you. Lol . I love your goofy families and messy homes. It’s so good to be reminded my home isn’t the only one that’s actually lived in. I love listening listening to your stories and thoughts. Thanks you much for helping me through the last few months. If you girls ever do Bible study or exercises for depression or whatever, please share. Merry Christmas ❤️

    Been decluttering until I fell off my porch and down 5 agregate concrete steps. Landed on asphalt. Ok but sore and stiff.
    Now just cooking, doing laundry, straightened, then next week I will do deeper cleaning.

    I'm loving this motivation! We recently moved our old fridge to our mudroom, I had put off doing it for soooo long because I knew it would be a big job taking everything out in order to unplug it and move it. I finally got the courage to do it one day and my kitchen looked just like that! Every single inch of our counters were filled with food containers, etc. But it was worth it! Afterwards I felt so accomplished and realized it wasn't as hard as I had thought it would be. Anxiety does get in the way a lot, it's just getting past that first step of starting the job. You're so right about the momentum that follows that first step.

I keep putting off reorganizing....your comment about " just go and start even if you only do a little" resonated with me - I am OCD - it's 9:18PM so I will start this in the morning!! Thanks for the pep talk 😊. Your Pantry looks fabulous!!

    About the plastic grocery bags: I used to accumulate them quickly and it became a space issue as they were taking up space I needed for something more important! Our grocery store began to place recycle containers, clearly marked, at the entrance door... I then began to put these bags, minus about 6, into my trunk next to my non-disposable shopping totes. When I went to get the totes, there were the plastic ones, sometimes inside the totes! Into the recycle bin they went. Made this a habit when cleaning out the garage and it has persisted. Just FYI and because you asked.

    • @MightyMama

    new subscriber here. I happen to come across your living room cleaning and Christmas decorating video. I am a newer Merina subscriber as well. I love her and her family. They are just so awesome, wholesome and in so many ways relatable. You had great things to say about Merina and her family. Funny how you two are great supporters of each other and have collaborated together. This is my second vid of yours I watched and I like your vibe. I also have anxiety, depression and adhd, which I was diagnosed with all within the last 3 years. So I am still navigating life and learning about myself and all the symptoms that comes with it. As a single full time mom of 3 kids in their late teens, I at least don’t have to deal with loads of laundry, toys and meals that come along when having younger children. However, no matter how old the kids are, there is always the guilt of feeling like not doing enough for your kids. Especially, when I did everything and some before my mental health issues. Also, I never saw myself as a perfectionist. Before my diagnosis’, family and friends would comment on my OCD tendencies and now that I think about it, I believe it’s my “perfectionist” side that holds me back if I can’t do something at 110% perfect. Thanks for giving me that insight into myself. I’ll look more into how to deal with it.
    Now I’m off to binge watch more of your vids. 💕🇨🇦

    Marina sent me over and I'm glad she did!
    I need your step by step approach to tackling my mess.
    I'm a hoarder of things, but, my husband is a hider of stuff!
    When the space to hide stuff is full..... he then becomes a pile creator. 🤦‍♀️
    So the things we need are homeless, sooo, I'm about to evict some crap from my under stair cupboard to create a functional little storage community to rehome the things we actually need!
    Thank you for the motivation!
    Wish me luck🤞
    I hope to return soon successful in my mission.
    take care. ❤️❤️🙌🙏

  • @brittanydumoulinful
    @brittanydumoulinful 2 роки тому

    A few years ago I did this journey I really explored what works for me
    Not what's trendy and new. I really went outside of box on functionality of everything. I repeatedly go back on this and determine if it's still serving me. I now can clean my whole home in an hr..if I get behind it might take 3-4 hrs and I can split it up into 2 days and this is with a 2 and 4 year old.
    I really decluttered downsized and kept all my very favorite items that I used I find my antiques are usually my most versatile pieces for storage ect. So my house has turned out really neat looking and unusual but cozy even tho minimal. But better yet easier to take care of.
    I actually am watching this to see how I'll react to it. Clutter and any type of hoarding triggers my anxiety and depression it is also connected to trauma and living in a situation where no matter what I did it felt like chaos. I will admit it's hard to watch I'm not joking! I'm really proud of you and think it's amazing for sharing this.
    it can be so overwhelming and even knowing where to start
    And some people really don't understand.
    But wow it sure feels amazing my anxiety is not cured but its almost non existent.
    I like how you give the message of consistency in effort even if it takes a few days keep visualizing it done. Perseverance.
    Set aside some time and do what you can.
    It really can transform your life!
    Thanks for the content.

    I had to laugh when you were talking about washing dishes, as I had decided to wash mine 2 minutes before you said it.
    I love your pantry organization and may borrow a few ideas from you. There is no right or wrong way to organize. It's all in what works for you.
    I'm a little bit ahead of you in my journey to minimalism. I'm a hoarder as well. Being where I am now, I have an easier time getting rid of things and being mindful of what I bring in.
    I HATE dusting! So I am slowly clearing my surfaces so it's so much easier to clean my house.
    I do save some plastic bags, mainly for our bathroom garbage. I am trying to remember to bring reusable bags when I shop. It also helps minimize the amount of stuff I bring home, as I have to carry it home.
    Keep up the great work!!

    You are using good logic to do this clean. You may never get to minimalist but do what makes you happy. Do you use it? Does it have meaning? Only you can decide. I am a minimalist and am very happy but that is my way. No need to beat yourself up but those of us with OCD can't help it. It should make you happy not frustrated because you have to confirm to what others say or expect. Just do what you can. I am enjoying watching you on your journey. All my best.

    I am totally a hoarder of plastic bags. I reuse them as trash bags for my smaller trash cans (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) because I refuse to buy small trash bags for them when I get grocery bags for free! 😂 I am a lot more selective of which ones I keep though cause they were taking over my house. If they are ripped or have holes in them or something spilled in them, they automatically go in the trash!

    Loved the motivation. I feel the same way and keep "stuff" for memories and just because I regret it if I throw it away. You are inspiring and give me that medium approach without feeling guilty at the end of the day it's our decision to keep or toss but gentle words like yours speak to the heart of the problem of hoarding.
    BTW I love how you constantly talk through your videos as I'm always cleaning and listening more watching you. Thank you ❤

    I use the plastic bags from the stores to organize anything I’m donating when I do quick little declutters around my home. I can’t bring myself to do one massive declutter. For example, one bag for shoes, another for toys, another for books, etc..

    Pantry I found is a funny space to keep tidy, especially when I wanted to buy an extra items when it's say half price, I have a tiny pantry and keep my extra celebration/public holiday stash food in an extra cupboard stored till that event/ time period because it's so little but I found once it has a good function it looks good after a 2 minute tidy up (whish I am due to do again) even if it's not the pretty decanter perfect pictures, it looks good. It's strangely a place I keep pretty clean since the beginning of cleaning up and their are few different methods I use to naturally declutter mine now, like shopping my pantry and I make what they call dump meals, sometimes I just do meal veg/fruit prepared bases for some of my dishes I cook I just chop it all up, remove air and pop in freezer, and sometimes store certain foods together for set meals if I have to plan a particular meal for guests . Some of these things I only manage on my good days but the dump meals I usually do in like my multi cooker so I know on my bad days or super busy exhausting days we eat well, we have a bit of a take away issue. And bags they are trying to make illegal over here with a policy to stop all single use plastics, but I found we end up with a heap of "reusable" bags from the shops, which I am talking about changing to something else, thinking fold down baskets and our Esky to move things from the shops, I aim to get paper bags because I can compost them in our green bins which is a compost bin or recycle. But pantry is definitely a space that is personal to the family, my lower pantry shelves became a toddler cupboard since he helps with the house work and tries with the cooking 🤣 I moved some stash food into my Holiday storage cupboard so he can reach it, my other cupboards are full, and I need to do my washing after 3 days of not feeling up to it and just made my declutter list for my home, because we are still bursting at the seams but getting there. 😊 It's nice watching you for inspiration though, keep it up, it looks like it's getting better every day

    Your pantry looks amazing!! You might be motivating me to tackle mine 😬😄 I love how you used the organizers. I recently saw some of the clear bins with the handle/hole on the front at Family Dollar, I was surprised they were so cheap there! I bought one for our fridge. I really like the metal baskets though, they're pretty.
    I'm editing my comment cause I didn't wait till you were done showing us. The meal plan baskets are so smart 😲

    Have you thought of doing a no spend month? You definitely could have a short list of fresh food that you top up with but seeing that overstock makes me think of how much money you could save up! Well done for sharing your hoarding journey, I am sure it's not easy.
