@@PeelingAwaytheClutter Hi Mira! Respect, You do extraordinary job. You are strong despite Your weakness. I wonder how one human could collected so many things. Do You need all the stuff?! And You must spend a lot of money for all the shopping. 💪👏👍😘
This is really encouraging to see. You needed someone's help, and had the courage to ask for it. That is very commendable, Mira. It looks so inviting, and is a place of peace now.
I watched hers and I’ve been watching you dig your way out of your living room. You’ve been doing great and calling her in for help was an excellent idea. I understand that overwhelm is a real thing. Best wishes and I hope you can enjoy your space going forward!
Having someone come in and help is such a mega step to be proud of yourself for! Bonnie couldn't have come at a better time for your doggy and for you, to continue the decluttering x
1. Love your laugh, Mira 2. Also prefer Aquafina 3. Not allowing the recycling to slow you down was wise. 4. You are making tremendous strides... keep moving forward! 5. You have a kind, gracious, beautiful spirit❤
Deciding to get rid of expired food and recycle items in one fell swoop was a good choice. This is the best time to get help. Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira!!
Your wish from 2021 came true! You have over 8800 welcomed to your house Mira. It seems the process of rubbish leaving your house is a big stumbling block. If there were fewer steps I think you would get rid of your rubbish more often. If you put your rubbish bins by your back door this might make it easier. Put a reminder in your phone to put your bins on the footpath for collection. I have a habit of putting kitchen general waste out every day and my recycling basket I take out when it’s full. I think your life would be much easier if you prioritise getting rubbish out in the bins.
I also shop when I’m feeling down. I like to buy books and home decor. It’s not easy asking for help so good job reaching out to Bonnie. I love her channel. She’s a wonderful person and I know she’s struggling right now. I hope her break from UA-cam is helping her feel better. Hugs. 😊
I pray you are going through therapy to help deal with your depression, your compulsion to buy, etc. It's absolutely life-changing if you can. I feel like an entirely different human after having access to therapy to learn healthy coping mechanisms and being able to get things off of my chest. I realize it's often a privilege in America, but if you are able to, I hope you jump at the chance. You have already made amazing progress and Midwest Magic Cleaning talks about how vital it is to make even more progress. Sending love your way. 💗
Mira I'm right along side you peeling away my clutter one space at a time! Mira you are an inspiration and hope to us all that we too can peel away the clutter one room at a time. Go Mira, you are doing a fantastic job!! Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira and your support as she is on her decluttering journey.
Don’t you worry about disappointing any of us. We’re just excited for you. As you said you can start recycling later right now it’s getting you a happy, healthy place to live.
What a wonderful transformation. You both did an amazing job. I am so happy for you too have the stress of your kitchen finally come to a happy space for you.
You are absolutely fabulous for all you do and share. This could be so helpful for many people because you help them realize they aren't alone. They, like you, also deserve love, support, acceptance, understanding and many wonderful things!
In my own year long journey of decluttering after my husband died, I found my solution to your donation box migrating from one room to another. In order to not have to deal with it twice, I movie it to my van and once the van is full it is time to go to the donation center. Even if I can’t get to the center right away it gets it out of the house. Love you and your ability to laugh at yourself. You are doing a great job
I, too, have trouble with trash cans. I use the plastic grocery bag, attached to my drawer knob. When it gets full I tie a knot in it and take it out, usually when I walk the dog. That way it is not so heavy (i.e. large kitchen can. For recycling, I use the paper trash bags and put them in a corner and empty either at night or the next morning. I, too, love the read and would much rather read than clean. But I do also like a clean house, so I will read a chapter and then do a "small" like wash dishes, or clean the toilet, not the whole kitchen or bathroom. At the end of the day, usually a non-work day, I read a book and cleaned the house, but didn't feel like all I did was clean. Dogs are great friends with whom to watch cleaning shows, instead of actually cleaning. HAHA. Thank you for sharing your struggles.
Mira, you are stronger than you realize! Wonderful! Asking for help is to be commended! Keep up the good work! Bonnie is a beautiful soul and you are too! Love from Texas! 🥰
Three of us are in a 2BR apartment. Every day, I toss 25 items in garbage or recycling. I wash dishes, and do laundry. It's easier to keep house if you own fewer things. Tina, Al's wife
Just want to let you know how proud I am of you and your courage in sharing this journey with us all. I'm on a similar journey and it's so good not to feel alone. Like you, I find I can only do a little at a time and am finding it helpful to set aside 2 hours in the evening each day when I make a special effort to do some sorting and decluttering and also make an effort to re-tidy the areas I've already done. Going to be a long slow process but better than doing nothing.
I love your voiceovers. You have a lovely sense of humour and humanity, and gentleness, and it's somehow soothing to listen to you. Also helps me understand.
My daughter gets her shopping high by going through the store with her car. She loads it up full of things she likes. Then she takes a few minutes and goes through the cart and starts putting things back on the shelf. She might have one or two items she decides to buy but sometimes it’s nothing at all. She gets her Adrenalin fix and leaves.
Thank you for all the lovely advice and support you are putting out into the world for others, Mira. You are an encouraging and accepting voice for folks who struggle! Everyone does deserve good things, thank you for helping us to see it.
Restriction leads to binging, my suggestion is therapy :) When I realized I needed coping mechanism but didn't know where to start I reached out to a professional. It made an amazing difference in my life.
Mira, I can and do relate to what you have gone through and am so proud of you for sharing your journey of peeling back the clutter. Your empathy for yourself (so hard to do!) and for others shines through. You encourage me to continue my own decluttering journey. Regarding bringing stuff in, I have adopted a rule that says for every one item I bring in, two or more items have to go out. I have found that helps. And I adopted your tip about leaving things in the cart for 24 hours several months ago and it really does help! I have even gone 48 hours as there were some things I was still uncertain about after 24. I look forward to each new video you release! And I am so proud of and happy for you for embarking on this journey, and I wish you continued success, one small area at a time. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
You are such an inspiration! I don't know if you realize how valuable your videos are. Seeing videos like this is always satisfying, but they're usually filmed by 'outsiders' who clean it. Seeing you do so much yourself and explaining your story is even more motivating and shows that change is possible. And your positivity is amazing. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.
Mira, you are amazing! I'm so proud and happy that you reached out to Bonnie to make a particularly difficult area a bit easier to navigate. So sad to hear about Cupid's passing. Please give yourself some grace as you grieve. We'll be here for you.
Mira I want to thank you for helping to inspire me. I too have had issues with depression and things getting cluttered and not having the energy to work on my house. I also suffered a back injury 2 years ago and still having issues with it. I have good days where I feel good and can get things done then but I pay it the next day. I'm looking forward to spring coming around again so I can do a good spring clean. Thankfully, I'm in physical therapy, and it's helping. So hopefully, by spring, I will be in better shape and not get tired and hurt so quickly.
This was epic! I totally get it how some room or some pile triggers a full anxiety attack. It was so smart to get help. You accomplished a huge amount in those 2-3 days, not even looking at what Bonnie did. You should feel so proud. If you get discouraged, go look at that room... you did incredibly hard emotional work to face into it, and look at the result!! You are incredible! I hope you feel lighter!
I was really looking forward to this video. You and Bonnie are awesome. You are also very courageous and strong. I am so glad to know that you pressed forward with this work in spite of your grief and anxiety. I am so happy that you have your kitchen back. I already watched Bonnie's kitchen clean up. Keep with the great work.
What a great collaboration! You also really got a lot done yourself as well. I think you'll be able to keep this up on your own, since the majority of it was food boxes. I think it was a great idea to just get the stuff moved out while you had the extra help.
Let the shame go - you are doing such a great job and inspiring so many people to get started on their own journey! It takes a lot of courage to open your home up and I think you are making fantastic progress. Keep it up! ❤
Hi Mira. I think it’s so great you are continuing on your declutter journey! You are right, Bonnie is terrific. However, you did a great deal! Don’t sell yourself short. As far as no buy, I understand feeling deprived. I felt the same. I heard an idea from another you tuber and I tried it - and it worked for me so maybe it will work for you. When buying online especially Amazon, I put it in the cart, and then I wait at least 24 hours before buying. I found I didn’t buying everything I impulsively put in the cart. I then would go through the cart and either save items for later or put them on a wish list to consider later or actually buy it. I really reduced my expenses greatly by doing that and more importantly I really reduced my clutter. Hope the idea helps you. Looking forward to your next video. You are doing really great, keep going, and don’t forget to keep the areas you already decluttered clean, so they don’t go back to the way of the past. I’m sorry to hear about Cupid, but I know she’s still with you in spirit. Happy Holidays Mira!
Mira, I’m so happy that Bonnie was able to help you get your kitchen back! I’m also so proud of you! I have just had both hips replaced and it has caused mobility problems that really are hard to deal with. Luckily, I have a husband who can help me but I really feel for you because I am experiencing similar struggles, plus I also have depression/anxiety disorder that, even though I am medicated, I still struggle with motivation and the mobility issues make it worse. You are doing a wonderful job removing your clutter and I wish you all the best on this journey! ❤️
Mira, it is looking so good!! I hope you have been able to find peace in your kitchen again 💚 I’m also a pasta girlie, my tip to feel more confident in the kitchen is to get comfortable with a “genre” of food, and for me, that was pasta. For example, before I dump my sauce in a pot to warm it, I’ll melt a pat of butter and sauté some mushrooms or frozen veggies until they smell good (maybe add some garlic or onion powder, or even capers if I’m feeling really fancy). Then, I put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of white wine in and let it cook down maybe…5 minutes or so, until I can’t smell any alcohol left. Then I add the pasta sauce, and either a rinsed can of white beans or chickpeas. The butter and wine just makes everything taste divine, and it boosts my pride to feel like I elevated my traditional “go-to” without being crazy or creating more dishes. It’s also super easy to adjust to whatever you have on hand and you don’t have to worry about following a recipe. Then because I’m in love with carbs, I make buttered toast sprinkled with garlic powder and oregano-bam, easy garlic bread. I hope this help; I know it’s not something you asked for but cozy food that you can be proud of is a game changer. I know you can do it-look at all the things you’ve done already!!!
😇Truly Blessed by a “Kind-Hearted Whirl-Wind”…coupled-up with a “Courageous Swirl-Wind”- (YOU; A Mini-Whirl-Wind-in-Training!) 🎉Congrats on your amazing progress! *🥰Always Remember that the “physical changes” for the better are symptoms of the “mental/emotional” changes for the better! (Just the way the reverse manifested itself over time). 🤓Your awareness, acceptance of your own limitations & self-patience are KEY! 👍🏼You get it! BRAVO! 🥳🎉🐾❤️🐾
One step at a time, it's amazing to see how far you've come already! Thank you for sharing. I listened while tidying my own home, you're voice is so soothing and gentle.
Wow, what a great job you two did! I've been watching all of your videos and you are definitely inspiring me to get back together! I deal with depression and fibromyalgia and I just don't have the energy sometimes to keep up with my apartment. That was so incredibly kind of Bonnie to help you out and also the donation of the table and chairs!
I'm so glad you and Bonnie connected and she directed me to your channel. I think you will help a lot of people. It's one thing for a cleaning "expert" to do videos but it's quite another for someone to be working on their own home. You will be a great support and motivation to many people. I have already sent a link to one of my friends who could really benefit from hearing your story and watching you get started.
Instead of a no buy, you could try what I call a “conscious buy”. You consciously make purchases as opposed to impulse buys. Write down things you want to buy, leave it for a few days and come back. Some people do this with shopping carts online, they “park” the item. Also recommend tracking the purchases date, cost and item so you can reflect back on your spending habits Going all cash is another way you can help cut back Budgeting I think you’ll need to try a few different versions to see which one works for you Keep going Mira! ❤
This is wonderful! I’m so glad you asked Bonnie for help and allowed her in your home. That’s a big deal to be able to ask for help and receive it. It looks great! I have some shame with my clutter too and I need an outside view of the items because I am pretty sentimental. I’m thinking of doing some video calls with my mom or sister to talk to while I declutter. I think that would help me. I love watching your channel. 💗
I buy lots of yarn. I crochet a lot. I enjoy making things and giving them away. I have been working on buying less yarn and working through what I already have. I have donate six trash bags full of yarn. I have made at least a dozen blankets with yarn that was leftover from other projects. So I think I’m making great progress. To be continued in 2024
My poodle will pea and poo next to the pee pads and my old beagle will only pee on the edge .Never ending shampooing.But I love them.Your doing really good with the decluttering and cleaning.❤❤❤
Today I started declutterring my craft room with your videos in the background. Thank you for the inspiration. I’m glad you decided not to separate your trash and donations. You are not far enough in your declutterring journey yet at this stage. I’ll separate mine thoroughly so I make up for you 😊. You will get at that point soon at the speed you are going now 🎉
You are doing an Amazing job! And as Bonnie Said in her video - recycling is great and important, but for now just trash, and then when you get on top of things you can focus more on recycling. Like your bottle trash can, maybe Keep a box where you can fold other boxes etc. ❤
Mira you are amazing! It takes a lot of energy mentally and physically to do what you're doing and I applaud you lovely 👏👏👏. Bonnie is a treasure but do you know what, so are you. I come away from watching your videos feeling uplifted. Not because of the decluttering you're doing, but from hearing you talking, your laugh and your sense of humour. I have got in a bit of a mess. I'm disabled so don't get around to well and everything takes longer to do. I've had a cold which has knocked the stuffing out of me for almost two weeks, so my usual housework has slipped. Plus my fiance has been doing some diy in the kitchen so there's been extra mess and he's not in good health either, but you have inspired me to ask for help. Tomorrow (Monday) I'm going to ask my neighbour and friend if she will give me a hour to help with hoovering and washing the floors. I'll pay her for her time as it will ease my conscience for asking 🤦♀️. Thank you Mira
Keep at it Mira, you are doing great !!! Am much enjoying the transformation. I laughingly asked about the water bottle recycle can on the live with Bonnie and now you mentioned it. Since you have a great sense of humor, you DO know it's not meant with malice, is funny as alot of us can relate. I admire your solution. Take care.
Mira I believe you being so courageous to show your decluttering journey is going to help many other people. You are doing an amazing job!
Aw, thank you!
I agree!
@@PeelingAwaytheClutter Hi Mira! Respect, You do extraordinary job. You are strong despite Your weakness. I wonder how one human could collected so many things. Do You need all the stuff?! And You must spend a lot of money for all the shopping. 💪👏👍😘
Agreed and thanks for these videos , grief is a process and many blessings🙏🙏. I also clean as I view with u. ❤❤
This is really encouraging to see. You needed someone's help, and had the courage to ask for it. That is very commendable, Mira. It looks so inviting, and is a place of peace now.
Thank you!
I watched hers and I’ve been watching you dig your way out of your living room. You’ve been doing great and calling her in for help was an excellent idea. I understand that overwhelm is a real thing. Best wishes and I hope you can enjoy your space going forward!
Having someone come in and help is such a mega step to be proud of yourself for! Bonnie couldn't have come at a better time for your doggy and for you, to continue the decluttering x
Thank you so much!
I agree!
1. Love your laugh, Mira
2. Also prefer Aquafina
3. Not allowing the recycling to slow you down was wise.
4. You are making tremendous strides... keep moving forward!
5. You have a kind, gracious, beautiful spirit❤
Yes to all of these!! ❤
Aw, thank you!
Deciding to get rid of expired food and recycle items in one fell swoop was a good choice. This is the best time to get help. Thank you Bonnie for helping Mira!!
I really admire you. Not only for cleaning up your house, but also your willingness to post videos of you doing it. I also enjoy your laugh
Thank you!
Mira,,instead of calling Bonnie like a tornado, you can call her a fresh wind.
What a blessing that you started the UA-cam channel a few months ago and have video of your sweet Cupid. ❤
I agree. I have other videos with him too, but these are another blessing.
You got this Mira! You are definitely making your Christmas wish come to reality by peeling away the clutter day after day. 😊 keep it up!👍🏻
Thank you!
I believe getting your house in order will make a positive difference in your life. It’s so cute that you can laugh at yourself. ❤
Your wish from 2021 came true! You have over 8800 welcomed to your house Mira.

Yay! You can do it! I love that we are peeling away the clutter together!
Yes!
you asking for help and letting people into your house and into your life is such an good example foor everybody who is in the same struggle
Oh look another water bottle! Love the video ❤
First I came across Mack, which led me to Bonnie. Now Bonnie has led me here. You’re doing a fabulous job! ❤️❤️❤️
Same with me. And Mack is hilarious.
New to all of this wonderfulness! Who is Mack? Going to Bonnie's channel for the first time after this. Thanks for your reply!@@teresaleonard9215
Midwest Magic Cleaning is Mack’s channel. ❤
Mack is Midwest Magic Cleaning and he is hilarious.
Thank you!😊
Don’t you worry about disappointing any of us. We’re just excited for you. As you said you can start recycling later right now it’s getting you a happy, healthy place to live.

Mira, you are stronger than you realize! Wonderful! Asking for help is to be commended! Keep up the good work! Bonnie is a beautiful soul and you are too! Love from Texas! 🥰
Yes I agree with this comment, Mira you’re getting there, one day at at a time 😊
Thanks so much!
Three of us are in a 2BR apartment. Every day, I toss 25 items in garbage or recycling. I wash dishes, and do laundry. It's easier to keep house if you own fewer

Amazing progress, Mira. 👏 👏 👏
Thank you!
I love your voiceovers. You have a lovely sense of humour and humanity, and gentleness, and it's somehow soothing to listen to you. Also helps me understand.
Wow, thank you!
I say you are the real MVP. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help. Both you and Bonnie are blessings to us all.
Oh, you are absolutely right! Nothing would have happened without Mira’s courage and her previous work.
Aw, thank you!
Off topic: I just love hearing you laugh. You have the best sense of humor!!!
Aw, thank you!
You are doing a wonderful, wonderful job.

Therapy has helped me a lot too.
We saw you in Bonnie’s You Tube w you in the background, going thru your things!!

Looks great. So much more easier for you and your fur baby to get around. Well done 👍
I admire your bravery honesty and most of all your resolve well done you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
I understand how hard it is to lose a pet 😢 I lost my dog last december. I still miss her so much. I love your videos. You are dying a good Job. ❤
Let the shame go - you are doing such a great job and inspiring so many people to get started on their own journey! It takes a lot of courage to open your home up and I think you are making fantastic progress. Keep it up! ❤
Great job and you are so smart for asking for help 😊❤️
Wow! Wow! Wow! You must feel so much better and more relaxed. Great job!
Stunning transformation! Thank you for talking through your mental process of hoarding. It is very helpful.
I'm glad it's helpful!
Thank you for sharing your journey. Thank you for explaining the thought processes also. It helps me understand .😊
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching!
Excellent work and I benefited greatly from your experience --I also have depression. Love your personality 😊
Thank you. I understand depression well. Take care.
Mira, I love hearing you talking about your life. And you are so courageous. Keep up the good work !
Thank you so much!
I love that you can laugh at yourself. Humor helps!
My water is awful and I won't drink it either. Congrats on getting your kitchen clean !
Hi Mira. I think it’s so great you are continuing on your declutter journey! You are right, Bonnie is terrific. However, you did a great deal! Don’t sell yourself short. As far as no buy, I understand feeling deprived. I felt the same. I heard an idea from another you tuber and I tried it - and it worked for me so maybe it will work for you. When buying online especially Amazon, I put it in the cart, and then I wait at least 24 hours before buying. I found I didn’t buying everything I impulsively put in the cart. I then would go through the cart and either save items for later or put them on a wish list to consider later or actually buy it. I really reduced my expenses greatly by doing that and more importantly I really reduced my clutter. Hope the idea helps you. Looking forward to your next video. You are doing really great, keep going, and don’t forget to keep the areas you already decluttered clean, so they don’t go back to the way of the past. I’m sorry to hear about Cupid, but I know she’s still with you in spirit. Happy Holidays Mira!
Great idea about the Amazon impulse shopping! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much. Happy holidays to you!
Amazing! Well done 🎉 and don’t underestimate your contribution! you’re both joint MVPs. Sorry about Cupid.
Thank you!
Mira, I’m so happy that Bonnie was able to help you get your kitchen back! I’m also so proud of you! I have just had both hips replaced and it has caused mobility problems that really are hard to deal with. Luckily, I have a husband who can help me but I really feel for you because I am experiencing similar struggles, plus I also have depression/anxiety disorder that, even though I am medicated, I still struggle with motivation and the mobility issues make it worse. You are doing a wonderful job removing your clutter and I wish you all the best on this journey! ❤️
Thank you so much! I'm glad you have help. Take care and thanks for watching!
I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful fur baby , sending you hugs x
Thank you!
Amazing!! I love how you just keep going! 💪 And very brave to ask for help! Now you have a kitchen you can actually use! 🤩
Mira, it is looking so good!! I hope you have been able to find peace in your kitchen again 💚
I’m also a pasta girlie, my tip to feel more confident in the kitchen is to get comfortable with a “genre” of food, and for me, that was pasta. For example, before I dump my sauce in a pot to warm it, I’ll melt a pat of butter and sauté some mushrooms or frozen veggies until they smell good (maybe add some garlic or onion powder, or even capers if I’m feeling really fancy). Then, I put about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of white wine in and let it cook down maybe…5 minutes or so, until I can’t smell any alcohol left. Then I add the pasta sauce, and either a rinsed can of white beans or chickpeas. The butter and wine just makes everything taste divine, and it boosts my pride to feel like I elevated my traditional “go-to” without being crazy or creating more dishes. It’s also super easy to adjust to whatever you have on hand and you don’t have to worry about following a recipe. Then because I’m in love with carbs, I make buttered toast sprinkled with garlic powder and oregano-bam, easy garlic bread.
I hope this help; I know it’s not something you asked for but cozy food that you can be proud of is a game changer. I know you can do it-look at all the things you’ve done already!!!
😇Truly Blessed by a “Kind-Hearted Whirl-Wind”…coupled-up with a “Courageous Swirl-Wind”- (YOU; A Mini-Whirl-Wind-in-Training!)
🎉Congrats on your amazing progress! *🥰Always Remember that the “physical changes” for the better are symptoms of the “mental/emotional” changes for the better!
(Just the way the reverse manifested itself over time).
🤓Your awareness, acceptance of your own limitations & self-patience are KEY!
👍🏼You get it!
BRAVO! 🥳🎉🐾❤️🐾
Thank you so much! I love being a Mini Whirlwind in Training!
You couldnt have found a better person than Bonnie to help you. I love your humor and listening to you just makes me happy and yes,I do lol.
Thanks for watching!
This is AMAZING!!!!! Woohoo!!!!! 🎉❤
One step at a time, it's amazing to see how far you've come already! Thank you for sharing. I listened while tidying my own home, you're voice is so soothing and gentle.
Great job!! Both you ladies. Been waiting for this one.
You made me chuckle and cry all in the same video. You are the Sweetest of peas 🥰🌱🫛❤️
Wow, what a great job you two did! I've been watching all of your videos and you are definitely inspiring me to get back together! I deal with depression and fibromyalgia and I just don't have the energy sometimes to keep up with my apartment. That was so incredibly kind of Bonnie to help you out and also the donation of the table and chairs!
I'm so glad you and Bonnie connected and she directed me to your channel. I think you will help a lot of people. It's one thing for a cleaning "expert" to do videos but it's quite another for someone to be working on their own home. You will be a great support and motivation to many people. I have already sent a link to one of my friends who could really benefit from hearing your story and watching you get started.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found me.
You're such a brave and inspiring person! You go girl! 🎉🎉
Thank you!
Great job Mira! I watched Bonnie's video and I'm so glad you got her to help you.
Love Supernatural! Went to their convention once and it was a lot of fun. We always call the show “the brothers” 😂
Instead of a no buy, you could try what I call a “conscious buy”. You consciously make purchases as opposed to impulse buys. Write down things you want to buy, leave it for a few days and come back. Some people do this with shopping carts online, they “park” the item.
Also recommend tracking the purchases date, cost and item so you can reflect back on your spending habits
Going all cash is another way you can help cut back
Budgeting
I think you’ll need to try a few different versions to see which one works for you
Keep going Mira! ❤
Thanks for the suggestions!
This is wonderful! I’m so glad you asked Bonnie for help and allowed her in your home. That’s a big deal to be able to ask for help and receive it. It looks great! I have some shame with my clutter too and I need an outside view of the items because I am pretty sentimental. I’m thinking of doing some video calls with my mom or sister to talk to while I declutter. I think that would help me.
I love watching your channel. 💗
Video calls are a great idea! It really is so helpful to have someone by your side. I'd love to hear how it goes! Thanks for watching!
@@PeelingAwaytheClutter I'll let you know! Thanks Mira! You're amazing! If I don't get to later, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I buy lots of yarn. I crochet a lot. I enjoy making things and giving them away. I have been working on buying less yarn and working through what I already have. I have donate six trash bags full of yarn. I have made at least a dozen blankets with yarn that was leftover from other projects. So I think I’m making great progress. To be continued in 2024
I need to remember this when I get to my scraproom! Thanks for sharing.
My poodle will pea and poo next to the pee pads and my old beagle will only pee on the edge .Never ending shampooing.But I love them.Your doing really good with the decluttering and cleaning.❤❤❤
Look at you go girl!!
You are an encouragement to us all.
So nice to see Cupid in this one too. ❤️
It made my heart so happy.
Bonnie is a true gift to so many people. It’s pure love. You’re doing an amazing job and making a lot of good decisions.
I LOVE your laugh! Thank you for sharing your story and the delightfullness!
Wow, thank you!
Today I started declutterring my craft room with your videos in the background. Thank you for the inspiration.
I’m glad you decided not to separate your trash and donations. You are not far enough in your declutterring journey yet at this stage. I’ll separate mine thoroughly so I make up for you 😊. You will get at that point soon at the speed you are going now 🎉
You are doing an Amazing job! And as Bonnie Said in her video - recycling is great and important, but for now just trash, and then when you get on top of things you can focus more on recycling. Like your bottle trash can, maybe Keep a box where you can fold other boxes etc. ❤
Mira you are amazing! It takes a lot of energy mentally and physically to do what you're doing and I applaud you lovely 👏👏👏. Bonnie is a treasure but do you know what, so are you. I come away from watching your videos feeling uplifted. Not because of the decluttering you're doing, but from hearing you talking, your laugh and your sense of humour. I have got in a bit of a mess. I'm disabled so don't get around to well and everything takes longer to do. I've had a cold which has knocked the stuffing out of me for almost two weeks, so my usual housework has slipped. Plus my fiance has been doing some diy in the kitchen so there's been extra mess and he's not in good health either, but you have inspired me to ask for help. Tomorrow (Monday) I'm going to ask my neighbour and friend if she will give me a hour to help with hoovering and washing the floors. I'll pay her for her time as it will ease my conscience for asking 🤦♀️. Thank you Mira
I love this! Best wishes to you--hope you feel better soon.
I appreciate that you've acknowledged the situation & you're trying to help yourself as well as bring in reinforcement 😊. Keep it up!
You are so funny, Mira!
Thank you!
Keep at it Mira, you are doing great !!! Am much enjoying the transformation. I laughingly asked about the water bottle recycle can on the live with Bonnie and now you mentioned it. Since you have a great sense of humor, you DO know it's not meant with malice, is funny as alot of us can relate. I admire your solution. Take care.
Your kitchen looks awesome.
