Thank you for saying "You've got to work with the brain you've been blessed with." You are both welcoming and affirming!

My mother raised 11 children, and I raised five children, My mother once gave me the most valuable piece of advice about toys and clothes. She said if you turn your house in to nursery, and your house clothes shop the kids will get bored and will not be hungry to play with toys or develop long term learning, or calm thinking ability.less is more. Plus if you save 10 a week for each kids that would be 1000 a year , by the time boys are 18yrs , you would be saving 18000 for two . In two separate accounts. Save the money so you can spend on them in ten yrs. So you can still buy that expensive trainers when they are big , the boys would remember it and appreciate much. I saved 10 a week for 18yrs gave to my daughter when she went to university to study law for rents now shes a lawyer. Don't fall into the hands of consumerism, two sets of pyjamas and two sets of weekend clothes uniforms and special clothes for occasions. Save and you will have little financial security. Peace.

If it makes you feel any better now that Marie Kondo has three children she admits she can no longer can keep her house tidy.

As a grandma, one trick my daughter-in-law taught me was that when I buy a toy(s) for the grandkids, I bring them when I visit, but take them when I leave as the toys 'live' at my house. That way her house is not overwhelmed and the toys become special and not mundane. The children also look forward to playing with those special toys when they come to visit me.

Your voice is so soothing, and i love hearing British English. You could read the phone book and I would listen!

WOW look at you! Almost to 100k followers. You’re inspiring all of us to just keep plugging away at the decluttering journey. I’m 75 now and I’ve been working on doing just that since my husband passed. I have done a lot already but I’m still working at purging my house. Every little bit helps and I want to keep going so it’s not all left to my daughter to do. Thanks for the inspiration Remy 🌻

I've just had to clear my mother in law's house after she passed away unexpectedly and to go through all the stuff in a week and try and find new homes for as many things as possible so that they don't end up in a landfill was such an overwhelming and stressful task. It's wonderful that you're thinking ahead for your daughter to not have to go through that.

That’s really kind of you to be doing that purging so your daughter won’t have to; and it’s hard work as it is very stressful to go through sentimental things. Sorry your husband passed and God bless you.

As a mother of two sons who also loved Lego, I found it very helpful to get one big sheet that the boys were encouraged to keep the Lego on top of. When they wanted to build , they each grabbed a corner of the sheet and lifted all the sheet which held all the blocks out of the tub. When they finished playing, they each grabbed corners of the sheet , lifted up the whole thing and put it back into the tub. Easy fast cleanup, and gives the boys a chance to feel good about helping with a tidier house.

Oh sweet girl, don’t listen to TROLLs. Some people just have to criticize. It’s disgraceful. I’m in the USA, and I was watching you. Your poor little soul running around cleaning.

I've decluttered about 80% of the contents of my house over the last 18 months and I dont miss any of it! Here are my tips now I'd now consider myself a minimalist: I'm trying to go a bit further at the moment. Just got rid of a load more stuff I'd kept "just in case" and dont actually need and I've worked on whats *really* sentimental and why and found I can let some of that go too by keeping photos of the items which remind me of someone or something and letting the actual item go to find a new life with someone else. My top tips would be: 1) Numbers method. Turn the "should I get rid of this" question on its head. Think about how many of something to *keep* first. So, for example, when I was decluttering clothes I would think "How many tee shirts do I need? Even if I only did a wash weekly (and I put a wash more often than that in reality) 7 is plenty". Then I'd choose my *favourite* 7 to keep. The focus being on having my best, most favourite items to keep made getting rid of the rest so much easier and now I feel great about every item in my wardrobe. Same with the kids toys, ask them to choose their favourites. 2) Container method. Think about how much space you are willing to give a category of things and let the container size be the limit. For example, I got 4 smallish Ikea boxes and gave one to make up, one to skin care, another to medicines and a 4th to "backstock" because that's what fits in my bathroom cabinet. Any mote than that and I've got mess because I cant easily put it away and store it in the cupboard space available. So I had to keep *only* what fitted in the boxes. Again, I picked my favourites first and the rest had to go. This really helped me be realistic about the space I have to store stuff when the priorty is living easily with my "stuff" serving me instead of feeling weighed down by having to look after it! 3) Stop the in flow method. Every time I went to buy something which wasnt food or a repeat consumable household item, I'd ask myself "What is the lifespan of this product and how will it be disposed of when I no longer want or need it"? This REALLY stopped me buying cheap crap I didn't truly need and focused me on buying fewer things but spending more on quality purchases which can either be recycled (because its made of wood or metal instead of cheap plastic) or will have the longevity to be passed on after I'm done with it. Having to save for something of higher quality often delayed the purchase for long enough for me to realise I didnt really need it in the first place!! Hope those tips help someone else ❤ Good luck!

Remi, because you end your day in your bedroom I think that your bedroom should be first. Your bedroom needs to be where you can end your Day & relax, especially all that you & your partner deal with every day. So your bedroom needs to be your top priority & then deal with your kitchen. I feel that what I have seen you do that you deal with things very well. Everyone deals with things differently & everyone has different life styles, so you have to do what works best for you. Take care & keep doing things in your own way & in your own time of how things needs to be done. Stay safe & healthy.

I vote for kitchen decluttering next as it would seemingly benefit everyone (whereas the bedroom cupboards would be more for you and your partner).

Well with kids it’s gonna help her serve them more easily. It’s so hard to make food when you can’t get to what you need easily. But … you can do both. Take one cabinet at a time in the kitchen. When that’s done go work on a section of bedroom! That’s what I do if I can’t make myself tackle a whole room at once.

You motivate so many people to do better me being one of them thank you for posting 🥰

Listening to you is like finally I have someone who understands me!

Tackled the cupboard of doom under the stairs yesterday and today my bedroom. I feel so much better for it.

This video has brought back so many happy memories of my son being young and having so many books. Before one house move we got rid of over 300 books! I just reached the end. Do the kitchen next. 👍🏼

I was your months ago and I decided that I was worth 15-30 mins of exercise each day and I’ve been doing it. And I feel so amazing, better and better every day. You deserve more then your doing for you and if you struggle to see it like that then think, your a better mom even to do self love and self care things for yourself. You got this ! If I can do it you definitely can ❤️

I'm a very messy person but over the last 4 weeks I've been decluttering my house, we've had about 6 tip runs and still got 1 more to go and a toy room and 1 bedroom left to sort out, I suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD so it takes me a while to get into a cleaning mood and if someone tells me to do something else I just stop, well done on decluttering

Remi, you are doing great. When you get decluttered try doing a carrier bag a day as anything that goes is an item not to think about. Maybe speak to your family about the Christmas and birthday gift situation. Gifts don't have to be possessions, it can be a day out having fun or a special meal together etc. Love watching and listening to your video's.

I also wanted you to know that you inspired me to make my bed this morning. Having others who get the struggles goes a long way in helping me face the situation and find away through (even if it is just in one small way). ❤ Thank you!

Oh Remy, you remind me so much of my younger self. I’m glad you’ve set yourself do-able goals for October. Please be kind to yourself, and realize that this is just an exhausting period of your life! It will get easier as the kids get older, I promise.

Thank you for your video, I often feel overwhelmed and procrastinate a lot. I wish fairies would come along and do it while I’m asleep lol. I’m going to try this way - usually when I do a list, I put everything down, or do one room at a time, but your way makes a lot of sense. Thanks again, and I’ll let you know how I go. I hope you feel better soon

Oh my goodness! I just want to say thankyou from the bottom of my heart. Im so lucky I came across your channel. Watching your videos with tears in my eyes right now as you're speaking to my heart. Im a homeschooling mama to three amazing wildlings and Your content is so wholesome and real and you're a shining light and a motivation to all overwhelmed mamas.

Hi, Remi! Sometimes I go back & watch your videos over again. It's like visiting a friend! Your voice & comments are soothing and uplifting. When the kids drive me crazy, a "visit" with you helps me calm down and chill out! Thanks for your contributions to the world! ❤️🌍😊

I love love love your method. Soooo different from others. And...so much kindness! Sending it to you too!

Dear Remi, making your bed in the morning is a sweet promise to yourself that no matter what you are faced with over the course of the day, you will have a neat clean place to lay your head at night. Thanks for these videos. I have ADD, and these make me feel I'm not alone.

Wow! 9 bags and a guitar to give away/discard! Good job!! Congrats!!😊

I suspect the kitchen would make the biggest difference in your daily life. But I'd split it up into sections for sure.

Wow, what an amazing difference when you'd finished! I vote for your bedroom next, so you can relax when you go to bed. For storage and organisation ideas, don't even look at potential solutions until you have finished decluttering and you know exactly what you want you go where and how much of it there is. Once you know, you can buy storage to fit the spaces properly and you'll know how much capacity the storage will need to have to actually work for you. It's so annoying to buy storage that doesn't fix the problem.

You are brilliant ❤ Keep on. That was an amazing job 🎉

You’ve come so far and should be so proud of yourself, I know that you may not think so but you’re loved by so many of your fans because you make them feel better about how they feel 👏🥰❤️

Start a post office account for the kids, no toys from anyone( exvelt one each from parents/grandparents) money from everyone put in the account and One toy bought from it on special occasions the rest is for when 18 and need to pay rent/ uni/ start a small business. Just let them kniw ‘grandad/aunty/bob or carol ‘ put this money in the bank for you for your birthday and look at how much its growing fir when you are 18!!!! Though do allow a present or two as well. Others are causing clutter. I live in Asia. We give ‘red oackets’ of even number money to the kids. Saves a lot of problems. They keep half and save half. Big sums are save only. Its good to learn not to rely on instant gratification

I totally agree with you! If parents can keep toys/clothes under control, that's half the battle?!

I’m sure you have made a huge difference in so many life’s. I suffer with very major depression & can’t seem to get anything done anymore. I’ve let my home get so bad. It’s majorly cluttered. I feel like I’ve tried. But I just give up. Been going thru this for so many years and my mom just recently passed away & now things are really much worse. I was her main caregiver and we lived together. All I do now is cry everyday. I plan on getting things done each day but I just don’t seem too. But I love watching you. You are doing a great job. Bless you.

Please be gentle with yourself. What you have been through is a traumatic experience, and you have enough to do dealing with grief, loss and exhaustion. If there is anyone you can trust who might give you a hand with practical tasks, don’t be too proud to ask. Anyone who has been a carer and suffered bereavement will understand. Otherwise just do the easiest things until your energy levels rise. Wishing the best for you x

Beautiful videos, not just about cleaning and decluttering but mostly about finding balance and thriving in your own life and helping others. Love and thank you from Utah, USA!

When I was a kid and my mom would de-clutter, she would bring bags of things she didn’t think I needed to me and it would be my job to go through them and make the final decision on keeping them or not. Eventually that became toxic and she would gaslight me into getting rid of things I really wanted to keep, but I think the original sentiment of letting your kids decide the fate of their property is not only reassuring to them, it builds character. Apparently it’s a fairly common trauma to recall the pain of a parent getting rid of your toys against your wishes. It’s all-around best to include your kids in the decluttering at some point and allow them to make decisions about their own property.

12:21 As I make my bed every Morning(for the past 7 years) I quote a US Navy Admiral…. Start the day with a task completed. If the rest of my day goes poorly then I know I got at least one thing done that day. When I go to bed at night I feel satisfied with how lovely my bed looks even if it is surrounded in chaos. Slidling under the covers of a made bed is lovely. It only takes a couple minutes and makes such a difference! 💙🦋

My vote is for the kitchen since you use that space multiple times a day. Keep up the great work!! And I appreciate your honesty- saying what is hard to get motivated to do and what you don’t like doing at all. Thanks for being REAL!

I vote for the kitchen! Mine looks horrible and you could motivate me to declutter mine as well. Remi, you are such an inspiration, encouragement to so many of us. I love hearing you!❤ You are such a genuine and lovely person and an amazing mom.

Love what you said about making all the changes at once and beating yourself up when you don't stick with it. That is SO me!

I vote you do the kitchen next. You use that space daily and it will be adding daily stress for you, whereas the doom cupboard won't be as frequent. But I'd definitely break it down over several sessions to avoid burnout!! I really relate to this channel and it gives me a lot of grace with the nagging voice in my head, we're doing the best we can.

Good job! I guessed 7 bags. I have lived in my house for over 30 yrs. every week I have a bag or 6 that I fill for donations. Last week 14 totes were brought down, from the attic, 4 totes, 2 crates and 3 bags went to the donations center. I’m struggling with baby stuff and baby stuffed animals. Tomorrow I will be firm about it

"I could give a rock sentimental value" why did she call me out so hard 😂

For sure your bedroom next. My reasoning is because, compared to the kitchen, there is significantly less things which will mean: 1) it won't take as long because there are less things, 2) if you start the kitchen which is bigger with more things, you're more likely to burnout and not get to your bedroom for quite a while, and 3) starting your bedroom means you will sleep better as a result of less stress in the room and be motivated to get the kitchen complete. I hope this helps you! Thank you for your videos, I enjoy you and what you bring to us!!!

These are good points but when I get a dilemma like this, I do BOTH. I start in a corner of my room and my kitchen. Like I would start in the bedroom and then when I complete a section and I’m fed up with that I’ll go start a section in the kitchen and work on it for how long I can. I work on a spot that can be deconstructed, cleaned and restored to order when I’m working 2 rooms.

I just found this video, as well as you are tidying video, and I absolutely love you and your honesty.

Remi have you watched Clutterbug? She has a test to see our organising style. Looking at your kitchen cupboards, I think you're a ladybug, then she gives the organisation systems best for the way you organise. Also she did a tough love livestream recently & I highly recommend watching that for anyone who is overwhelmed & doesn't know where to start.

I would suggest the kitchen first. It looked like there were things inside the cabinets and drawers that weren’t necessarily kitchen items. It would drive me crazy to have to move toys and games to get to my pots, pans, flatware, etc. And, to me, it seems that you would have more space if it was tidy. I’m a lot older than you and it has taken me a long time to accept that I will not put things away that are stored in containers with lids. I use a lot of cubbies and shelving with bins! Have you ever watched Clutterbug? She does a great job of breaking down the storage systems that work for different personalities. For example, I prefer things to be out of sight but in loosely defined categories which is why lid-less bins work for me. I store all of my hair styling products in a shower caddy so that I can pull the whole thing out, use the products I need, then put the caddy back out of sight. That’s also a great way to store children’s art supplies since it so easy to keep tidy. Your son could pull out the bin of supplies, use them, then dump it all back into the bin to carry back to a shelf or cupboard. Also, if your son does most of his drawing at the kitchen table, the art supplies could be stored in the bottom of a cabinet in the kitchen to make clean up easy. I like to watch you because it gives me inspiration and I really like listening to your commentary!

Hi, I love your videos and your honesty. I have a bit of OCD and finally have found that if I make a schedule for myself, of things that need to be done, I can do one or two things a day instead of rage cleaning. I really like your practice of rewarding yourself. Going to try that.

I am a minimalist, very Spartan in my envirornent BUT I LOVE listening to you. You are so wise, kind and fun

Finally! Someone knows what i'm feeling! I decided to be a bit stern with myself. Everyday I put the timer on and get at least one bag of stuff out of the little's room. She has so.much.stuff!!! It doesn't help that she's the third kid and she has inherited toys and books and clothes and tchotkes of every description. Watching you declutter kid stuff makes me feel like I can get back to the battle. Thanks! I have an idea for your overwhelmed series: how to slow down and spend time with your kids when you're overwhelmed at work and don't have a lot of energy. 😅 For sheer honesty and do-ability you have earned a new subscriber!

You are like my online friend. You're so relatable and watching your videos is like a good chat with a friend while we both work. I'm so happy that doing these videos make you happy, but please don't overdo everything. I've found that if you don't take a break and rest your mind and body, then something breaks and your body forces you to take the rest. I had a whole week of job related overwhelm and didn't take care of myself, so I ended up making an absolute scene outside when they final straw snapped. My clothes line broke and all my husband's clean, wet work clothes fell onto the ground. I got myself into such a state that I got a horrible migraine and had to go to bed for a few hours. I think we all-or-nothing types need to give ourselves permission to take a break to recharge before we're forced to do it by an illness. Thank you so much for all you do for your online community!!!❤

Looking at your cupboards for the brief moment, I feel like your items are ill fitting in there because you are lacking shelves. You need some more shelving to put in things of the correct size. 💜 I enjoy listening to you, your voice is lovely!

Thank you for being so brave to do these videos for the rest of us out in the world who also struggle with clutter and paralysis. I feel paralyzed every time I think about trying to do any housework or decluttering. I am also mobility impaired and have major joint issues and chronic pain and fatigue. My pain and fatigue are about 60% of my problem and my brain, 40%. I enjoy and appreciate your videos and God Bless You!❤🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

You got me off the couch today I swept,scrubbed the bathroom,cleaned the living room, ran the sweeper, did some dishes after eating a small meal. It is all because you got me motivated! Even decluttered a kitchen cabinet. So Thank you ❤

The more of your videos I watch the more times I say “that’s me!” I love your videos and in fast speed, because I don’t want to do anything. I get overwhelmed by thinking how long it’s going to take me so I don’t do anything. It makes me feel like I can do things fast too. Probably doesn’t make sense but that’s how my mind works. Anyway I feel I want to get started and feel more motivated to do things. We never had kids so I have zero excuse but I am a sentimental keeper too. On the flip side I love to organize closets etc. I love being organized. Weird huh? By the way, I vote for the kitchen. It’s the biggest of the two jobs and once that gets done, the bedroom will be a snap. Please keep making the videos! You inspire me and so many others.

Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites! I also struggle with executive dysfunction, and hearing you talk about yours in such a non-judgmental way has helped me a lot. Your positive outlook and little chatty tangents also help ease my anxiety in moments where I’m stressed and generally overwhelmed by life. So thank you! Much love to you and your family. ❤

I love that you set up rewards for yourself when completing a task! That has worked for me too. Having external rewards is certainly a motivator.

When you said " out of sight out of mind " that hit home. Kitchen cabinets is my choice, I have to have everything in sight or I forget I have it, especially in my sewing room. ❤

I HAVE to watch your videos and listen to you to get motivated 😅. Our family moved into a cute little house last June, and we have had every setback known to man. My mom had a stroke, we hold jobs, and one kid is going to college. There is so much clutter, but I try to be kind to myself and clean a little bit when I get the chance.

This is prefect because its realistic and yet so satisfying to watch.💜

Thank you! ☺️

What an amazing lady you are!So honest and with both feet in the real world.Keep taking some time for you 😁

I feel like I’m watching a British version of myself- everything from the all or nothing mentality, loving helping others with clutter even though I often struggle myself, the mid-clean McDonald’s 😂 and even the comfort comedies! Not sure if you’ve looked into body doubling but it’s so helpful for me to be talking to someone else while I’m working - I tell them they’re babysitting me but even if it’s just on the phone it makes the mindless work enjoyable because I’m not focused on how hard the actions feel as much as the conversation which always feel satisfying. Down the road if you are helping others you may show how working together with a friend or someone who works the same as you can be a great motivation. I’m sure the kids loved coming home to a reorganized room!! 😄😄

I can attest to working in tiny increments. I moved into a new flat a year ago, and executive disfunction just stopped me entirely from finally unpacking and sorting everything. I recently started working on just one box or bag at a time - one a day - and while it only takes about 10-20 minutes, the difference it makes is enormous. Mostly mentally. I see the physical change in my space, and I feel eager to make more of a dent. If I'm lucky, I'll spend more time sorting out things because the little burst of positive energy gets the momentum going. I'm still not done, but I think the most important thing is that I've shown myself I can absolutely do it, and it doesn't need to all be done in one swoop. Cheeky edit:: As a grown-up person whose 'home' genre is horror, it is SO cool that you're supporting your son in his interests! I was always made to feel that my interests weren't quite right when I was younger, and always felt a little ashamed of them until I hit my 'screw it' age. There's a lot of really neat horror aimed for younger people out there!
