Hi, This is my first time exploring this site. My husband and I have 3 kids, 2 teens and the newest is an infant. We've tried to clean our apt before, but it always gets back messy. We have clothes everywhere. Literally. We're stage 2.5 hoarders. We've been a work in progress, recognizing our problem, for years. But now, urgency is upon us. In addition to the infant, who will crawl soon, we are combining households to take care of my sick mother. We're moving in a few weeks and we don't know where to start. We need to purge....lots of stuff. We don't want to take it with us. We want to start from scratch. We are in counseling and have the mind-set to keep it together, once all is done. We just feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff we have accumulated over the years. Any advice? And thanks in advance! | |

Hi Mommy Hoarder, Both in counseling and highly motivated; doing it primarily for the health of your new baby who will be crawling soon and for an ailing, elderly mom ~ you guys are off to a great start! Some work on the hoard each day and maintaining what was already done will get it there but you already know that since you have tried before. Keep posting for ideas and encouragement. Even with our setbacks we continue to move forward. 🙂 | |
