🥹 tears & laughter 🩷 Mom’s shed cleanout rollercoaster 

The greatest thing that happened to me in retirement is I gave away all the plastic bins. Things are in my closets or drawers or gone. I have Nothing in storage. It took two years but just knowing I never need to clean a basement, garage or shed again in my life is very freeing. My retirement gift to me.

Your Mum is a sweetheart. Love your Dad's singing & hats off to another incredible decluttering... your Mums collective thanks just expresses how deeply your efforts have helped them, and how valuable it is to do this in our own homes to get the quality of life back. 👍🙏🙏

One of my takeaways from your parent’s house series: From day one in the “Depression Room” to this video today,there were A LOT of April’s childhood memories stored and cluttering up her parent’s house and life. So all of you young adults out there who have moved out: MAN UP like April has ,be a part of the solution and voluntarily GET YOUR CRAP OUT OF YOUR PARENTS HOUSE!😵‍💫😖🙄

Add kitty litter to the paint cans. Stir it up and let it dry for a few days. Once dry, you can put it out with regular trash. Much faster than waiting months for paint to dry out on its own. Note: Regular kitty litter not the clumping kind.

Your mom tearing up at the end is so precious! ❤ You can see what a relief decluttering provides

Your dad's like Wilson in Home Improvement 😂

Oh my gosh, just think: back when you two started in her house, she had ALL the stuff but your relationship with each other was tense and fraught and uneasy. But the more stuff you’ve helped her let go, the lighter and more truly joyful your relationship seems. There couldn’t be a better reminder that it’s never about the things, it’s about the people ❤❤❤

I would like to speak to April's Mom. After decluttering I was down to two huge boxes of papers, photos and sentimental things. Every evening I opened the box and filled a little basket and would sit on the couch and pick through it. When the first box was gone I was so happy, when the second one was gone I almost missed my evening ritual. I think it took several months, but only about 10 or 15 minutes a day. "Yard by yard life is hard. Inch by inch it's a cinch." So my advice is to bring one bin in at a time.

I think part of being more sustainable and eco-conscious is working with people to not get into a position like this in the future. It’s completely understandable when things just need to go that they get thrown away. When you get to a point in the future where you are doing more manageable, maintenance declutterring it is a lot easier to pass items along to where they can be reused or recycled.

Your mom did a great job with decluttering all that stuff from the old shed. That new shed is beautiful.

Your mom must have been a great nurse. It’s a job where humor helps everyone

Had to laugh when your Mom said "I did find the needle in the haystack". So proud of her efforts to declutter.

Everyone has stuff that gets put aside until later. Then like us you are in your 70's and 80's and you no longer have the energy and it is overwhelming. Such a blessing.

Well done! So satisfying! I love your mum ❤. I think this is a good example of why it makes sense to donate stuff at the time rather then storing it for someday, as things go bad in storage, when some one else could have enjoyed them. Your mum’s doing such a good job dealing with it now 😊

My takeaway from this is that out of everything that was stored away only about 1/3 was worth saving. An important lesson when putting items in a shed or storage. Is it really worth storing something? By the time we go back to it, it has become ruined. Thank you for being so open and transparent. Very hard work and wonderful reward. Job well done and inspiring for others.

Good Job! Anybody else watch this and say "Ok, I'm ready to start my next decluttering project!" I know I am!

Your Mom is just the cutest!!! Great job you two. Also: you going after Winston made me LOL so much

It was so great to see your dad up on his feet, after his medical scare last year… outdoor sheds are the worst, you instantly put stuff in and forget about it. I can’t believe you got through two of them, you parents seem so much happier

Your mom can put kitty litter in the paint cans so they don’t have to wait months to dry out

Oh my never put photos in a basement,attic or outdoor shed. Surprised they are not ruined. Your Mom so nice. Your relationship is so obviously a great one! Nice to see parents are ready for change. I always had a hard time getting my Mom to accept change for the better.

We did a shed today too!! A big one! We literally have a truck load to take away. Hubby is a new man. He's even looking at other stuff he'd planned to keep.

I had those same rabbits and mine were ruined in storage as well! So many things just sit and rot in storage. I got rid of all my storage units and I feel free!. Your mom did a great job.

A tip for the future if it is feasible,put everything that you don’t want on the curb first,post a curb alert ,then fill the pickup at the END of the day. I know many people who have more time and energy than money,(I used to be one of them) who would happily scrub out the red cooler or set up that boxed ceiling fan for their garage. I actually currently would have killed for the large,Longaberger plastic liner ( the one that had the ruined bunnies in it) as I have thrifted that exact but unlined basket! They are so sturdy but hard to find. At 26:35, that entire box of office supplies could have been donated in its box. I once put out to the curb during a garage clean out: a toilet,bathroom sink and TWO broken gas grills. WHILE I WAS STILL WORKING,EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN!🙌🏻 (it always helps to put a FREE sign so they don’t have to ask.)(13:40)

The shot of your mom at the end where she's in front of the shed holding a rake? Massive rocky horror picture show energy😂❤

I understand your mom’s mental struggle about starting a difficult project. I’ve been wanting to paint our bedroom for 3 years and my daughter and granddaughter helped me this weekend and we got it done. Furniture is rearranged and new curtain rods and curtains hung as well. I spent more time stewing over the project than the time it actually took to complete it. Your mom is delightful, as always! ❤

It’s devastating to find things that are the ruined, like the handmade toys, but so tempting to put them aside to deal with later. Dealing with the hurt right away and grieving the loss, feeling the regret but then getting rid of it anyway is so important though. I used to keep things like that but then I would suffer that pain every time I found them or thought about what to do with them, over and over! The only way out is through.

Your mom is so cool. Just a quick tip. Kitty litter will absorb paint & u can trash it then

Wow your Mom and Dad are doing fantastic. They should get decluttering Gold Medal. And the fact she said "We're going fishing today". Living life. And they have an "Awesome" daughter. Great Job Everybody. Should be very proud of yourselves. Pictures of you were so cute.

I love when you help your mother! She’s so much fun.

For any of your viewers who have never cleaned an outdoor space in West Texas, it’s an experience unlike any other. The dust! It gets into every crack and crevice, and the sun is I N T E N S E! I’ve lived it, the dust, the sun, and the hoarding. Your mom is my hero. So happy to see her new perspective as the clutter is lifted away.

Thank you so much to Mama Space Maker for allowing us all in again to watch her journey (and Papa Space Maker also!) through all the years of emotional build up. I think your mum is about the most gorgeous person - and I see where you get your compassions and fun and energy. You were galloping to keep up with your mum as she focused in an went for broke - it was fabulous to watch - and please tell Papa Space Make that he has a lovely voice 😊

Great video! I cleaned my mom and dad’s shed out one time, and found a 3rd grade school picture. For some crazy reason my mom teased my hair!😳 I looked like a 30 yr old Avon lady! Had no idea what she was thinking.

Thank you. Just the modivation I need to get started for my up comming bulky garbage pick up. love your family. thanks again. I want to be a space maker.

Your mother saying goodbye to Sarah was so relatable ❤ Fantastic work!

I am a R.N. myself for over 40 years. I would have loved to work with your mom. It would have been great ❤

I like how you are always respectful when encouraging someone to let things go.

You are such a blessing to your family, and the respect and patience you give them are commendable. I'm so happy that she has come to terms with her need to declutter the home and make it a comfortable and welcoming space for everyone. Your mom is on a roll!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

April thank you for helping your parents, great job ladies 👍🏼😉❤️🇨🇦

Momma space maker ensuring that we have enough drama ! What next momma ? New reality series 😉 Great job decluttering 👏

My favorite videos are with your Mom. This one was the best.

Just love your Mom and Dad….a great gift you are giving them by helping them through their life’s abundance ❤

Hi, April and Momma Space Maker! Great job on the sheds! This was just what we needed! Your mom so great and your dad singing in the background was priceless! Love the new shed too. So much got done and April can relax a little. Please give your mom a hug from me and of course to Izzy went you get back home! Hugs!🐈‍⬛🥰💜👍👍

Loved and laughed watching you chase the puppy, April! So nice to see you and your sweet mother together again...and hearing your Dad sing is a treasure! As the mother of a daughter who also lives far away, I can appreciate how much it must mean to your parents for you to come home from the other side of the world to spend time with them and help them do this important work.

Before I declutter my children's old toys and art I take photos of them and keep them in a specific "Memories" folder. It hurts less when you know you have a record of them!

The backyard looks so good. That shed is awesome. Great job, April and Mom. Dad's singing was too cute.

Your mom 🥹❤️

That brings back memories of my last house move. I don't drive, so my garage had simply been collecting junk for thirty years. You did way better than me. I couldn't face it and just hired a guy to empty and haul it all away.

April, I mean we've had the chance to get to know your mom for a while but this video is all about DAD. First the singing and then the truth bomb from the sidelines about keeping stuff for later that you will never use. And seeing your mom be moved to tears by the end was really something; what a weight off of her shoulders. Well done!

I just want to say that it’s been so lovely to see your relationship with your mom evolve from the first declutter video.

Love your mom! You two are so sweet together. Your dad is hilarious. We're waiting for his greatest hits to drop! lol This was a wonderful project. I know it was a lot of work, but it was so satisfying. Thank you for allowing us to declutter with you. Take care, Linda 🦋

I’m your Mom’s age and I can definitely understand how she feels getting rid of so much that you just can’t seem to bring yourself to go through. So wonderful how you’ve helped your parents let go of so many unneeded items in their home. Love watching you, April. You are great at motivating others!

Your parents are lovely! The scene where your mom is holding the rake by the shed... classic! And your Dad's singing... This was delightful. ❤ Thank you for your content and your sweetness.

So good to see your mom again.

I was excited to see your Mom again. I have enjoyed watching her whole declutter journey.

This was heartening to watch...seeing your mom so touched, relieved and re-energized. Loved seeing/hearing how much your dad is on-board too! It's catching for sure. I enjoyed and related to this on many levels, and it motivates me to tackle a smaller, challenging and (worse) exposed corner out back piled with garden-related stuff including a bulging storage box. 'Tis the season. My neighbors will thank me as well. Thanks to you both once again for your willingness and will...and for keeping it real.

Your mom seems like a sweet and playful person and so as you. And how big thing it is to help your parents to declutter. That bond between you seems so close and understanding. Good job!

There is a product to solidify paint that you can get at hardware stores to put in the paint so it will dry out. Tried it and it only needs a day or two to fully dry then.

Love this❤ Your mom is so lovely. I am so thankful for what you do. So wonderful to see people feel the joy of what life changing decluttering can do. You are a blessing to everyone you help through your videos and in person.

Your mom is so sweet and your dad is just precious with his singing 🤣❤️

Well, another job well done, April! Your parents are lucky to have your help. It’s nice that they show their appreciation. I can’t get over how much you look like your Mom. She’s a hoot.

Everything you ever needed to know about your momma April is at 20:53, when you say you think Sara doll can go and your mom takes the doll and holds her to her chest, patting her. And she says to the doll very softly, "I'm so sorry." It made my heart crack and my eyes tear up. She is a dear soul, your momma-a lovely heart, very loving soul-bless her!

I bloody ❤ your parents! These video’s always make me happy!

Your mom is extremely grateful! I can't wait for you to go back and help your parents more. Your mom has definitely developed her decluttering muscle! ❤

April, your mum has come so far. I’m so proud of the progress she’s made 😘

Love your mom so much!! What a sweetheart she is and you are too! BUT…your dad was the breakout star of this show!!🌟🌟🌟

I love these where you are helping your mom, they are my absolute favorites. So sweet. You are my favorite decluttering channel of them all. After helping my somewhat reluctant, but dear departed partner with his 55 years worth of “ building another barn “ to solve the prepped for anything, downsize, I find your videos so relaxing and calming and helping me to process the trauma of the those final years. I just want you to know how valuable what you do is. Many blessing to you ❤

My great grandmother and I made a rabbit for me like that. She made a a raggedy anne and Andy when I was little and they got ruined the same way in a shed! 😥 I feel your mom's pain. Tell her she's not the only one.

Your mom is so grateful. Good daughter you are April.

Your mom is a kick! It must have been so much fun!

Oh my gosh! I used to make those muslin bunnies! They were a thing back in the day. Great job Momma Spacemaker!

This is a lot of fun to watch. With the "kick in" shed, I was so happy to see your mom kicking backwards. Kicking the way they were demonstrating in the company video risks pulling the typically weak muscle of the inner thigh.

I love these videos. Your mom is the sweetest.

Awwww your Mum is a sweetheart. I love every video you've done helping your Mum declutter, they're my FAV!!

They say you sing when you are happy,& your dad is happy to see it all go away! You Mom is a Rockstar at decluttering,and she is always thinking about someone else's needs. What an amazing team you all are

Aw, bless your sweet mom... she had been so overwhelmed with that!

This was a great video! I love the room your parents reclaimed!!! ❤

👏🏻 great job! I can definitely relate to your childhood bunny 🐰. The only thing I kept from childhood was a plush Smurf. I left it at my Mums place because I was living in a tiny apartment. My Mum had it in the top of a wardrobe but at some stage my Stepdad moved it to a shed where sadly Smurf was chewed by rats. I might not have Smurf anymore but I still remember the Christmas I was given him ❤ The changes you have helped your parents make during the entire process have been amazing. You and your parents should be so proud!

I have a schnauzer like your Mom. I had 3 failed attempts to adopt a dog from different animal shelters. Decided I wanted a puppy, did some research & decided on a schnauzer. Your Mom did a GREAT job getting rid of stuff.

Your mom had me welling up at the end... those are tears of relief, possibly the best kind!

The videos with your mom are my favorite! Good job both of you letting go!

Besides letting paint cans dry out for disposal,in our area,they will take them with the trash if you let the paint be completely absorbed with kitty litter.🤷🏼‍♀️(regular kind)

So nice to see your parents so grateful 😢❤

Such a great outcome! But I hope you saved that Pink Panther, it is really cute. And the new shed is awesome. What a difference you ladies made. 😊

What a wonderful heartwarming episode 🥰 your mum is amazing!!!

I would love to see a photographs episode! I'm making plans to sort through my parents' 10+ boxes of photographs and slides, so guidance would be helpful!

Your mom should be proud of herself. letting go of things can be so emotionally draining, I can see that in your vlogs and with the people you help.

You have to get a mindset that everything has a lifetime. It’s time to let go and throw it out

I LOVE your parents April, do you think they would adopt me ?

Love the new shed, it’s great you can help your parents clean out and organize , you parents are so great getting rid of things( with your help) wonderful 😊❤

This was really great to see the clean out of the outside sheds. Always inspirational! It reminds me that happiness happens when you let go of all the stuff that no longer serves your life now and frees up time to do the things you enjoy. It's great to see your mom so easily let go of stuff. She has definitely earned her "Momma Space Maker" title. Your dad singing so darn cute. You all seem so happy. Hope you had a great time fishing! 🥰

I adore your Mom❤This was so fun and satisfying to watch!!!! I'm sure your parents will be sooo happy to have their new fresh cleaned and organized outdoor space❤❤❤🎉 Your Mom's gratitude was precious🥹

I love the decluttering sessions with your Mom. Thanks for sharing your family.

April, ypur mom is a delight! Thanks for sharing. ❤

Well done to ye all. It was a fantastic team effort. So much stuff leaving is a wonderful feeling. Hope ye da great time fishing 🎣 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👏👏💪👍🙏💐🦮

You have done a great job with your transformation of your channel. It is a joy to watch it and see the help you give to others. You have inspired me and I am trying to tackle areas that I have.

I'm so proud of your mom! What a success story. She has really come a long way since the beginning of the de-cluttering process. Lovely to see you both sharing such tender moments, touched my heart. What you have gotten rid of has been replaced with countless priceless memories of working together in harmony. 💗

Your parents are adorable.

Another wonderful declutter you two…three! Love the process and ending.

Ahh your mom so sweet❤

Oh my goodness, that spinny thing with the bunny and the mirror, and the squeaky on top! It was my FAVORITE when I was little!!!!!
