    Charity's latest video is (in part) titled "Beginning my Decluttering Journey".
    Her apartment 'should be ready for a tour video in a couple of weeks'.
    It's really sad that the next generation of hoarding is already in play.

    Didn't they just move into that apartment? The time to declutter was before the move. I hope Charity is able to stop the hoarding cycle.

    I doubt that she will. She has been well-trained by both Art and Janelle to hoard for all her life.

    Why did Janelle just put up a video about the girls cutting circles out of cotton and sewing them to make cover for jars? What an absolute waste of time and effort! For goodness sake that woman makes such a big deal out of everything. All she needed to do to cover that sourdough jar was to take a piece of material or cheesecloth and throw it over the top with a rubber band holding it in place, but instead they had to spend all that time choosing colours and patterns, cutting a double cotton covers, sewing them all together and then threading them with elastic. Crazy! Has she got nothing else to do? she even made a "practice" one!! haha! She is sure one stupid woman. Even Lydia was giving her the side-eye and obviously thought it was all such a stupid exercise to have to do.

    All part of her wholesome homesteading way of life ;) X)

    And no, she has nothing better to do. Waste time and destroy any opportunities for her children to learn things that actually matter. All the time she spends on stupid, pathetic tasks could be put to good use educating the kids properly but that's no in Janelle's wheelhouse.

    Homeschool mom of the year posted a pic of a red sky on IG wondering why it was so red ... she even pointed out that the sky has not been that red since the Canadian wildfires a few years ago.

    OMG, she's so dumb. Wildfire red skies are so different to sunset skies. For someone really into nature she doesn't understand nature all that well does she?!! Those poor kids have no chance. *SMH*
    She really needs to travel. There are some brilliant colored night skies around the world. Although it might burst that ignorant bubble of hers and that might rock her to the core. Can't be having that :blink:

    She has no idea about such things because she ... like the whole family ... lives in a bubble. They don't even watch TV (except on special occasions like when the Olympics are on), so they have no idea of life outside their own tiny world. I despair for those kids and their lack of education.

    The family are becoming more and more dysfunctional as time goes on. Poor Charity has no idea about normal life outwith the bubble of the Shillitos and is carrying on the family tradition of hoarding/decluttering/hoarding in her new life with Collin. He does seem to have a little more life experience and I wonder how he fits in with all of this? Charity seems so joyless for a young, newly married woman, you'd be forgiven for thinking that she was 45 and that life had not been kind to her.

    I see that Art and Janelle appear to have bought a real lemon in their 'rental property'. The place doesn't look too far from falling down and Art as always is the one to attempt the work. They really are a hapless pair of individuals.

    that rental property is dreadful. Art has spent days and days trying to get that concrete out from the bathroom floor and i don't understand why he just doesn't actually open his wallet for once and PAY someone to do it! They have got a plumber coming in and then they are going to get him to tell them what they need to do for the next part? I think that is so rude to pick his brains and then not get him to do the job. They really take advantage of people.

    That stupid Snail Chart that Art has made for their countdown!! I think he is one of the oddest people I've ever come across. He says he has so much to do before the plumber arrives, yet he spends hours making a stupid chart and putting it up on the wall for the countdown? VERY strange family!

    Charity posted on her LoopHook FB page that two new videos will be up this week. The video of Art hacking away at a concrete slab - without wearing safety glasses is an accident waiting to happen. I agree, that stupid snail challenge calendar going around the wall on the top of the wall, no less, where he has to stand on a ladder of some sort to write down what was accomplished that day is crazy. So many businesses give away calendars for free - seems like they could just use a freebie calendar and write a note in each square what what accomplished.

    They are both SO stressed with the renovation of the investment property!! Heavens above! They have more than one thing to do at a time. SO much stress! LOL They are so stupid. I find it so sad, but very amusing at the same time. Does Janelle actually do anything or is her role simply to stand and talk about what Art is doing?

    Art is now soldering without ANY protective clothing or proper goggles. He only had on his normal glasses that he uses to read. The kids were all standing really close to him while he was doing it to. These people are CRAZY!

    Charity really is just going to be her mother with all these hauls. Everything is a good deal.

    I am watching a video and she was going to have people over. The people turned out to be family. That is fine! BUT does she have any friends?

    Also - why does her camera make so much noise?
