As a Mom of young adult children I can tell you the best tip of all time is to get yourself up and ready one hour before your children get up.Taking a calm shower, having that welcome first cup of coffee, breakfast and kids clothes ready, back packs and lunches ready,( the night before) makes for a great morning, every morning. Also picking up your home before bed time makes facing the new day so much nicer and calmer :)
I think for me, I shower before bed so when I wake up I am all set. But otherwise I agree: prep lunch and bags the night before, and making your bed is big help! I let my daughter eat with me during breakfast, but I get her dressed first then I get ready while she plays before daycare
Mom of two adult children and one 16 y.o. here and I totally agree. Mornings in my house were never hectic and I think this may have helped. It's possible that me being calm and centered made me more patient. I'm the same way at work: arrive almost an hour early, actually enjoy my coffee, work a crossword, read, or listen to an YT video/podcast. Then jump into my day refreshed as everyone arrives frantic or moaning, groaning, and depressed. (It helps that I'm an introvert.)
I have no kids, live by myself in a studio apartment and most of the information you give I have no use for. But I just love watching your videos so much! Your such a nice and fun person. Thank you!
I love your tips. My son is 14 now but I wish I had some of these years ago. One meal tip I have for you is to buy a pack of chicken breast. Cut the breast into quarter and boil them in water, poultry seasoning and Italian seasoning for about an hour and then shred it when it's done. You can make numerous things with it and you can store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
2 of my boys (2yrs & 3yrs) each have their own mini backpack. We keep a change of clothes, their sunglasses, a little pack of wet wipes, a couple toys and coloring things in there. Oh and headphones. When we leave they both know to get their bag. My 3 yr old will put his iPad mini in as well. I love that they have busy items and they love being independent and having a bag like their older brothers. They each have their own little umbrella and fold up chair in the vehicle too!
I always click on your videos bc I know I'm going to be inspired by your beautiful home and awesome tips, but at the same time I know I won't feel intimidated because you are so down to earth and honest, you make me feel like we're all in this together. And you're funny and sweet! Hope you feel better soon! I know how you feel!!! I think we all do...
YES! CUBE SHELVING is a God send! but becasue my kids have so many sub categories, I use the plastic shoe boxes from the dollar store and labels. i can fit 2, sometimes 3 in each cube. And then we use a book shelf for other toys like stuffed animals, and displaying built lego sets. It's what works for us. Then of course everything is labeled. Best system we've ever used for kids toys. If it doesn't fit in the toy areas, we purge, etc. Thanks for your channel! You have SO MANY great ideas!
What a FANTASTIC video. Your kids will be empowered and confident in their ability to meet their needs AND get things done, thanks to you treating them like "little, growing people" instead of babying them/doing everything for them. God Bless You, thank you
Oh how I love ❤️ your channel! You open up the door for dialogue on subjects that some may give you the "side-eye" for. As a mom of five, I can identify with feelings of sometimes not wanting to move to get another snack or the disappointment of putting so much effort into dinner only to have no one really eat it etc., etc. I've learned countless great tips from you! Your channel is truly awesome!
Love the bin system too. That's a great idea to have their own designated place for kids dinnerware. My 8yr old daughter can get her breakfast too. The coat flip is fantastic. Thank you 😊
That coat flip is amazing!! If only it would zip itself too! And, by the way, "lazy" moms produce independent kids. I love it when my kids come to me with problems they have already tried to solve, yet they know I will help them and am always there for love.
Love these tips! Here's my fave for toys: I do larger bins and larger categories for toys. So we have a "transportation bin" which houses all trucks, trains, planes, cars etc. I thrifted one of those Pottery Barn kids tables with the storage bins underneath and I love it. One bin is transportation and the other "building" i.e. blocks and legos. This way we can all just throw stuff in the bins and it's even more simple than sorting out the cars and trains etc. Also, I have one small bin for the "kids are gonna cry if they lose this" toy. So all Paw Patrol goes there because they actually care to know where every single pup is, but with other, non-character based toys, we just throw those in one of the larger bins.
I love your personality, I know you said that you feel a little off , but your simply amazing and you have a wonderful , WONDERFUL way of sharing your joy . Thank you for all the tips. I'm not an organized person at all so anything that you share helps me. Thank you from Beatty NV.
I loved the cereal and bread hacks... this is something I've been doing since my oldest was three and a half.. it's made my life so much simpler now that he's almost eight, my middle is six and my youngest is three almost four... love your philosophy about teaching them to be independent.. same here.. been loving your channel :)
Thank you! So many moms give me a hard time cause I let my kids make there own food. I have always thought my boys they can get there own breakfast, and lunch. I am ok if my kids re hungry they can get there own snacks. They feel so good they even want to make me coffee at times too. They also do there own laundry ages started 4years old. Finally anouther mommy that is like me
Great tips! even for those of us who are not moms. I totally support encouraging children to be independent. Most of the time they want to do it for themselves, or at least that's my experience with my nieces and nephews. I work at a university and you would be surprised what some of the students can't do for themselves. Also, I have a bin of a few select toys in my home and when my friends with kids come over, the kids make a beeline to the bin. I did the standing coat flip as a kid!!
I am all for kids gaining independence with getting their own snacks and breakfast. I even have my 1st grader making his own lunches. I had to help him the first month or two of school but now he can do it by himself and I just do a quick check when I wake up pull it out of the fridge and throw an ice pack in it :)
Ok, you are a genius. That sticker tip will change my life! My kids don't shower yet, but my son loves to wash his hands on his own. Also love the jacket tip. Can't wait to teach my toddler that one!
LOOOVE your hacks!!! Yes, if they can do it on their own, why can’t they? I have four kids myself (15, 10, 6, 3) and they can actually make their own breakfast (cereal, toast, pancakes, etc) which gives me time to do other things. I love the “car pack”! That’s a great idea! Thank you again!
You totally speak my language. I do most of these with my 2 girls. We pick out outfits the night before though. I'm a single working mama and lunches/clothes figured out the night before just helps my sanity.
OMG!!! I am totally going to pre pick several outfits for my 4yo son, especially on school days. He likes to pick what he wants to wear that day and this will cut down on the long decision process and mismatched clothes.This is an ingenious tip!
I have a separate kid dish bin, too. My house has really high ceilings and the little ones can't reach up high. I had a plastic set- which I recently changed to stainless for health reasons. We don't eat meat, but I find filling little mason jars with washed and cut fruit (with plastic lids) is very helpful. They can open the fridge and a jar and it gets the fruits and veggies in.
Love this video, Cass! I have 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. It can be hard sometimes when one child like to eat something else (picky eater) but I learn to just cook for everyone and not give the picky eater options because she will get used to it. Take care!
The Coat Flip!!! OMG wow - Almost can't wait for the morning for them to try this. Have been following you for over a year, and this video makes me realise how far I've come organisationally ALL THANKS TO YOU CASS xx
What helps me on my "funk" days.... Vitamin D for sure! Walks, alone time or time w positive funny people in my life, a super funny movie, but mainly time away from home! Something to break routine and just time to ah breathe! Hang in there girl ! Sending positive vibes your way !!!!!!
Love your tips for getting kids to do more things on their own. It serves them so much better in the long run. My boys are 19 and 22 now… They've been doing their own laundry since the age of 11. Life skills! I'm not raising young men that cannot do for themselves and others. We as mothers of course can do things for our children… But teaching them to take care of themselves is super important for them being well functioning adults. I had a friend that was making her children's lunches for them when they were in college. How are those children ever going to learn that they actually have to take care of themselves. Is she going to move in with them when they're married? That's exactly how to make a spoiled and entitled human being. We don't need any more of those running around.
The car bag is a lifesaver! I did this with both of my kids and it came in handy so many times. I put raisins and dried snacks in with a little bottle of water. When I had to make an emergency trip to the ER I was so grateful I had it there.
Great hack ideas. I need to get my 7 yr old more independent as I have a 6 mo old I'm carrying around always. I love your videos. You are one of my favorite you tubers. Always excited for new videos. Thanks from California.
hi i like how natural you are and really when watch your video it's like you are sitting next to me and make wanna get up and do things around the house. thank you for the hacks in this video,for sure im gonna make a car bag for my daughter and tell you the truth,during your video i get up and make a cups tray for her and for us too.still working on her room organization toys! have a wonderful day :)
As always, I love your tips...I need to do that sticker in the shower one! As for Vitamin D...it seriously makes a huge difference! I didn't realize mine was low but it was extremely low and since taking a supplement for it I feel much less yucky and nervous. Thanks so much for collaborating with me! I always love working with you!
I feel like I'm a lot like you without the whole being organized part! Haha but I'm getting there thanks to you!! Thanks for the tips! My two year old is fairly independent and I love setting up stuff so he can do things for himself! He feels so proud it's the best!
Really cute kids enjoy when they grow up & leave it's horrible I'm always looking for things to clean I've been cooking 2 different meats for years great time saver shower sticker is genius
omg I'm slacking.. my daughter is 12 and I just started her putting the dishes away. she doesn't complain so that's ok. and the whole have my kids run my bath IS GENIUS!! HAHA
My sister's trick is to cook up 3 or 4 pounds of ground beef at a time with onions, garlic and peppers. Then she divides it up and freezes it. It's ready for making whatever - spaghetti, chili, a noodle casserole, well, you get the idea (edited for spelling.
my kids (2 and 5) love to help me, I think they feel useful :) they almost every time tidy up their toys and all the pillows... I put a glass of water on the counter, they can drink it, I refill it whenever I go to kitchen. in our country, unfortunately, mothers tend to feed their kids until they go to school or older. I let them make a mess and learn to eat on their own. now I only help my 2 years old son, when he doesn't like the food but know that he has to eat (or no pasta and dessert ) :)
I thought I could not feel more connected to you when you mentioned the smears of toothpaste AND THEN you referenced the shower spraying you in the head and I thought "WOW, she really gets me" lol.....great video amd great channel!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
You know yourksure pudding, my mom from Scotland and miss so much English food, little tip I can't afford the cubbies as much so I bought crates and used dollar bins works great too, I so food prep I try use healthy snacks like fruit so I cut up them put snack bags and I did my cereal and bread same way. Yes children need to know basic skills, I teach my kids to cook too! You are so like me , my youngest can read and has his to do list on what his chores when gets home. Such as homework, let dogs out, change dog water and he is learning to fold his own laundry, I am still reorganizing my house since I have to kids moved out they are in 20's so enjoy you kids now because they grow so fast. My youngest is 11 and my last daughter will be 19 soon and graduated this year so far all my kids have great social lives and made good choices, yes few bumps in road but, because I did what you doing now I feel confident they can clean, cook and take care of them selves. This also makes for less arguments on who does what . I have 4 children in 2500 sq foot house not biggest but with organization made it work with only 4 rooms kept the mortgage down so we could give our children a fun childhood but means everyone needs to help! Love your idea most of time I do most anyway and sometimes times take just step further thanks going to see how you Declutter your kitchen next on the list
I love how real you are! Everuthing you saison this video reminded me of myself(kids not eating what you slaved over running to bus in robe) or gave me some good ideas!!
Good morning Cass! These were great tips. I NEED to do that snack drawer - everytime you've mentioned it, I promise myself I will but TODAY is the day! I've been here for 2 years & I've never realized we have the same mirror above our fireplace. You've got superb taste ;b Have a great week. xo
I love the prepackaged outfits and the car bag. I've done those with my kids for years. I need to do a kid cupboard again. I tried it once and gave up but you have given me new inspiration.
Love you, Cas. Since I'm vegan, I don't need to worry about the meat. Also, chop the fruits and veggies as well when you're prepping, it does save a lot of time.
Best video! I live in New Zealand and these tips are all relatable to mums in our part of the world. I kinda sorta do these tricks too. We have just installed cubby holes for their stuff, uniforms laid out each night for the next day, cereal and fridge snacks at an easy to reach level (our fruit and vege bin in the fridge is their one stop easy reach snack stop). Ps I freaking LOVE Gilmore Girls xx
this is totally Great vid. so wild my kid showed me this coat flip a few months back and i wondered where its been hiding my motherhood life. i love mommy peace video's.
My 5 year old son watched this episode with me and has asked me to do pretty much all of these things. Put kitchen food and dishes down low, make a car to bag... What was the other one? I'll have to watch this again.
3:58 totally agree. I was 8 when our Mum made us do our own washing. Except for our sheets. We had to make our own beds, and clean our own rooms, make our own lunches. We had chores: vacuum whole house, clean toilets and the one bathroom in the house.
Oh yes! I totally agree on making them independent. My girls are 10 and 12, they make their own lunch the night before, get their school clothes out and do their own laundry on the weekends! If they are tall enough to reach the knobs, they can do their own laundry! 😂
Love you cas , your videos are reaaally inspiring .. this couple days i'm soo laazy but you make me feel inspired i hope you post every day ! Thank youuuu
I love your chanel and tips. They are so smart yet simple :) I used the meat trick this past week and it was a life saver. I felt like a super mom just being so on the ball and prepared. Thank you for the great tips and you look great by the way. since I began watching a few years ago I can see that you are shedding the pounds like no one's business. Great job!
I agree with you that cube shelving is the best!:) I don't know what it is either, but its the best organizational tool I've ever tried with my child.:)
I was more organized when my kids were smaller. I also do meats to use for several meals. I like to make up soups and stews and freeze, helps me since I am gluten free.
Very good tips to help little ones to become independent, and the two meat meals is a good tip as well and money saving, a good physical activity a decorating haul,winter spuce up haul, vitamin D and yes those liters are suppose to be helpful and mirrors, 🎄🎄🎅🎅☕
I haven't watched Gilmore Girls yet but my daughter (19) loves the show. By the way, all the little things you do to help your children be more independent well...good for you! I'm an early childhood educator and a mom. I did little things like you recommended when my kids were little and I'm happy to report they are self-sufficient adults! (19 & 23)
I let my kids get their own dry cereal in the morning too. We actually have a breakfast nook upstairs, outside of the bedrooms, it's my favourite thing in the house.. I can get my coffee without going downstairs. Hehe
Thanks for all of your wonderful helpful hints. I have never thought of the sticker idea I am going to try that right now! You make me smile Thank You!!
You kept the best for the last :) I live in Belgium, where there is little light as well (we have 'la grisaille' - grey weather most of the year), so I empathize.
As a Mom of young adult children I can tell you the best tip of all time is to get yourself up and ready one hour before your children get up.Taking a calm shower, having that welcome first cup of coffee, breakfast and kids clothes ready, back packs and lunches ready,( the night before) makes for a great morning, every morning.

Mom of two adult children and one 16 y.o. here and I totally agree. Mornings in my house were never hectic and I think this may have helped. It's possible that me being calm and centered made me more patient. I'm the same way at work: arrive almost an hour early, actually enjoy my coffee, work a crossword, read, or listen to an YT video/podcast. Then jump into my day refreshed as everyone arrives frantic or moaning, groaning, and depressed. (It helps that I'm an introvert.)
Where were you when my kids were still little! Life would've been so much better with all your fabulous ideas!
For me the same!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Life saver!
I have no kids, live by myself in a studio apartment and most of the information you give I have no use for. But I just love watching your videos so much! Your such a nice and fun person. Thank you!
I love your tips. My son is 14 now but I wish I had some of these years ago. One meal tip I have for you is to buy a pack of chicken breast. Cut the breast into quarter and boil them in water, poultry seasoning and Italian seasoning for about an hour and then shred it when it's done. You can make numerous things with it and you can store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
2 of my boys (2yrs & 3yrs) each have their own mini backpack. We keep a change of clothes, their sunglasses, a little pack of wet wipes, a couple toys and coloring things in there. Oh and headphones. When we leave they both know to get their bag. My 3 yr old will put his iPad mini in as well. I love that they have busy items and they love being independent and having a bag like their older brothers. They each have their own little umbrella and fold up chair in the vehicle too!

Pamela Martin So, so true!
Pamela Martin iiii
YES! CUBE SHELVING is a God send! but becasue my kids have so many sub categories, I use the plastic shoe boxes from the dollar store and labels. i can fit 2, sometimes 3 in each cube. And then we use a book shelf for other toys like stuffed animals, and displaying built lego sets. It's what works for us. Then of course everything is labeled. Best system we've ever used for kids toys. If it doesn't fit in the toy areas, we purge, etc. Thanks for your channel! You have SO MANY great ideas!
What a FANTASTIC video. Your kids will be empowered and confident in their ability to meet their needs AND get things done, thanks to you treating them like "little, growing people" instead of babying them/doing everything for them.
God Bless You, thank you
I have to say I am so glad my children don't get to choose what to wear everyday. Uniforms make it so much easier for this not-a-morning-person-mummy!
I hated the brief period my children wore uniforms. It was just extra laundry to me.
Oh how I love ❤️ your channel! You open up the door for dialogue on subjects that some may give you the "side-eye" for. As a mom of five, I can identify with feelings of sometimes not wanting to move to get another snack or the disappointment of putting so much effort into dinner only to have no one really eat it etc., etc. I've learned countless great tips from you!

Great tips! Especially the 2 meat meals. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome tips! The coat one I have never seen! GENIUS!! LOL
She's In Her Apron hello nice and helpful Vids on your channel
I'd love to see what you're getting your kids for Christmas for ideas for my own kids.. and a grocery haul ;)
Ugh such good tips that should be no brainers but yet I never figured them out! So thank you! 😊 love the coat flip!
My sister's trick is to cook up 3 or 4 pounds of ground beef at a time with onions, garlic and peppers. Then she divides it up and freezes it. It's ready for making whatever - spaghetti, chili, a noodle casserole, well, you get the idea (edited for spelling.
I love your personality ...you always make me laugh
Wow! The shower sticker idea is perfect for me!
Not a mom, but still find your videos very practical and helpful.
Also, your kids are adorable!
Merry Christmas from New York.
my kids (2 and 5) love to help me, I think they feel useful :) they almost every time tidy up their toys and all the pillows... I put a glass of water on the counter, they can drink it, I refill it whenever I go to kitchen.
in our country, unfortunately, mothers tend to feed their kids until they go to school or older. I let them make a mess and learn to eat on their own. now I only help my 2 years old son, when he doesn't like the food but know that he has to eat (or no pasta and dessert ) :)
I thought I could not feel more connected to you when you mentioned the smears of toothpaste AND THEN you referenced the shower spraying you in the head and I thought "WOW, she really gets me" lol.....great video amd great channel!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

This also makes for less arguments on who does what . I have 4 children in 2500 sq foot house not biggest but with organization made it work with only 4 rooms kept the mortgage down so we could give our children a fun childhood but means everyone needs to help! Love your idea most of time I do most anyway and sometimes times take just step further thanks going to see how you Declutter your kitchen next on the list
I do love your videos. I do not have little kids but this will help my grandkids.
I don't really do double meats but I do double batch day twice a week and freeze that second batch for those busy days. Great tips.
Plus the idea of picking out a few outfits a head of time works great. I even do it. It really helps with melt downs from preteen girls.
I love how real you are! Everuthing you saison this video reminded me of myself(kids not eating what you slaved over running to bus in robe) or gave me some good ideas!!
I have a sunset simulator alarm clock and it's wonderful. I would recommend the Phillips one
Your trick with the coat IS... A....MAZING
Good morning Cass! These were great tips. I NEED to do that snack drawer - everytime you've mentioned it, I promise myself I will but TODAY is the day!
I've been here for 2 years & I've never realized we have the same mirror above our fireplace. You've got superb taste ;b
Have a great week. xo
I love the prepackaged outfits and the car bag. I've done those with my kids for years. I need to do a kid cupboard again. I tried it once and gave up but you have given me new inspiration.
Thanks for the tips. Do you have any thoughts or ideas for car organization?
Love you, Cas. Since I'm vegan, I don't need to worry about the meat. Also, chop the fruits and veggies as well when you're prepping, it does save a lot of time.
I love hack videos. I always learn something!
stayed until the end. feeling funky? doesn't show. you are terrific.
Best video! I live in New Zealand and these tips are all relatable to mums in our part of the world. I kinda sorta do these tricks too. We have just installed cubby holes for their stuff, uniforms laid out each night for the next day, cereal and fridge snacks at an easy to reach level (our fruit and vege bin in the fridge is their one stop easy reach snack stop). Ps I freaking LOVE Gilmore Girls xx
Wow wow wow!! I wanna cry with joy right now . Extremely inspirational !!!
this is totally Great vid. so wild my kid showed me this coat flip a few months back and i wondered where its been hiding my motherhood life. i love mommy peace video's.
I absolutely love you!!!...all your tips and tricks help my life tremendously! Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge to us :)
My 5 year old son watched this episode with me and has asked me to do pretty much all of these things. Put kitchen food and dishes down low, make a car to bag... What was the other one? I'll have to watch this again.
3:58 totally agree. I was 8 when our Mum made us do our own washing. Except for our sheets. We had to make our own beds, and clean our own rooms, make our own lunches. We had chores: vacuum whole house, clean toilets and the one bathroom in the house.
I needed this video that sticker idea in the shower in a great idea. And teaching them to do things on their own is so nice.
Change of season blues. I'm with you on this. Have a great week Cas.
Oh yes! I totally agree on making them independent. My girls are 10 and 12, they make their own lunch the night before, get their school clothes out and do their own laundry on the weekends! If they are tall enough to reach the knobs, they can do their own laundry! 😂
I still do the coat flip I'm 27 I don't do it all the time but there are times it comes in handy
Love you cas , your videos are reaaally inspiring .. this couple days i'm soo laazy but you make me feel inspired i hope you post every day ! Thank youuuu
I watched this even though I don't have kids! I love your tips! :-) I'm in a bit of a funk right now, myself. I hope it passes quickly for you.
I love your chanel and tips. They are so smart yet simple :) I used the meat trick this past week and it was a life saver. I felt like a super mom just being so on the ball and prepared. Thank you for the great tips and you look great by the way. since I began watching a few years ago I can see that you are shedding the pounds like no one's business. Great job!
I agree with you that cube shelving is the best!:) I don't know what it is either, but its the best organizational tool I've ever tried with my child.:)
Love love the tips! I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old! Especially the car bag is a great idea. Thank you!
I was more organized when my kids were smaller. I also do meats to use for several
meals. I like to make up soups and stews and freeze, helps me since I am gluten free.
i love all your tips! i binged the new Gilmore girls during the weekend too! 💜
Love Meg I watched the whole finally season of the Gilmore Girls with my daughter
Two neat meals is genius!!! Idk why I never thought about it. Definitely going to try this.
Love the coat flip!
Kas your so funny. Thank you for always keeping it real.
the COAT FLIP lol! I knew there was an easier way! Thank you! ❤
Very good tips to help little ones to become independent, and the two meat meals is a good tip as well and money saving, a good physical activity a decorating haul,winter spuce up haul, vitamin D and yes those liters are suppose to be helpful and mirrors, 🎄🎄🎅🎅☕
I think organizing a junk drawer is one of the most satisfying cleaning tasks!
that coat flip!!!! ❤️
Wow, the coat flip is amazing!! Never seen it, will definitely try when my daughter grows up to wear coat herself 😊
I haven't watched Gilmore Girls yet but my daughter (19) loves the show. By the way, all the little things you do to help your children be more independent well...good for you! I'm an early childhood educator and a mom. I did little things like you recommended when my kids were little and I'm happy to report they are self-sufficient adults! (19 & 23)
I let my kids get their own dry cereal in the morning too. We actually have a breakfast nook upstairs, outside of the bedrooms, it's my favourite thing in the house.. I can get my coffee without going downstairs. Hehe
Awesome tips! Many I haven't seen before and as a new momma, it's great to see way to make things easier ♥️
I'm not even a mom... I just really love your videos 😂
This video deserves a ❤️ button. I'm a busy working mom too and these are great tips!!!
Hi, really great tips Cas , love the setting out the outfits one.Need to start implementing it in our home.
such great tips, i need to re organized my cabinets so i can set up my daughters plates, cups, and snacks. thanks!
Thanks for all of your wonderful helpful hints. I have never thought of the sticker idea I am going to try that right now! You make me smile Thank You!!
GREAT ideas thank you~ have a blessed week
I just discovered your videos and I have been bingeing on them all week! I love them! You are adorable!
You kept the best for the last :) I live in Belgium, where there is little light as well (we have 'la grisaille' - grey weather most of the year), so I empathize.
