Omgoodness! Thank you for doing this and please know ideas call ming on a budget b cause I so need your brilliance. I live and m a one bedroom apartment and I am going to move into a rwo bedroom soon with children after marriage and I so need this. Thank you!!!
I really like how you organized under your sink. Maybe if you paint the inside of the space a light color it would also make it easier to see items also.
💕💕💕you could have his & her pretty baskets for sliding door cabinet eliminating the door for your makeup, pretty basket on top for toilet paper, you have made this into amazing functional bathroom
💕💕💕be proud of your accomplishments, inspiring bathroom do over, I found that painters make mistakes, look at the money you saved to go toward a special item for your house, it could be an outhouse out back like I grew up with, 😂😂😂I was 12 when we got our indoor bathroom, so proud of y dad for giving us a new bathroom
Hi Catherine. Thanks for your Great Organizational Video. I found it very helpful. I didn't like the comment that you made about Home Good's Home Decorations to be Tacky. I buy Home deco things from there, & I don't find them to be tacky, very nice Quality things @ an affordable price. Thanks. Juana
Thank you for all the great ideas. I want to give you an idea about the plastic sandwich bags. I’m not judging you for using them. My mom used wax paper to wrap sandwiches in before there were plastic bags. But, wax paper is not compostable. Now, there is parchment paper which is compostable. There are even UA-cam videos that show how to wrap a sandwich in parchment paper. Keep up the good work!
Hi …I love to watch your videos. You remind of me when I was younger. I like to have my home very neat and a space for everything and everything in its place. Jaja. But really I can the effort you put into all you do. Makes me happy. I watch others and yes some of then do that but like you do. I even unsubscribe from some of then because what they call organize and clean is joke. Keep up the good work. Enjoy the babies they grow to fast
Thanks for the content. I have a quick tip for when you buy new containers or anything glass or plastic that has store label or price tag glued on. Grab your hair dryer and just heat it up for a minute and the label will peel right off without any residue. If it doesn't come off easily heat it just a little longer. 🥰
that red carpet in the closet I can only imagine once also covered that entire hallway and possibly even further into the house. The pics from the 90s must be great, I remember having a deep teal green carpet in my childhood paired with wallpaper with red hearts. wow my parents had great taste.
Your ideas are wonderful and creative! Unfortunately I am a senior with a strict budget and there is no way I can afford all the space saving gadgets that you use. Could you make a video with real budget saving alternatives to the gadgets you used?
Props to Catherine Elaine--the video is fun to watch & helpful. I'm also a senior & don't have $$ to indulge in creatively "obsessive" & repeated upscaling of stored stuff. As another sub commented, I agree that the Dollar Tree has most of the items she's used and I've purchased, some with minor differences, but paying $1 (or $1.25 with recent price increase) vs. $10-$40 for very similar JosephJoseph & Amazon organizing plasticware & gadgets makes the project less of a splurge & doable. Don't know if you have Grocery Outlet in your area, that discounter is also a good source!
@@rosamundg.3789 I live in Canada and the dollar tree here is dismal verses the USA. We don't get half of the items and your stores look so neat and organized. The one here looks like a low end liquidation outlet. More product in boxes then on the shelf. Oh, and don't even bother to ask if they have any items they are so under staffed nobody knows what is going on. We do have a Dollarama but not much better and they are not a true Dollar store anymore, everything is way more now. Such is life...thanks for the input. 😁
Loved this super long collection of videos, I realised towards the end that I was even enjoying watching you organise and tidy the baby's room. I haven't had babies for 26 years😂 at that point I did fast forward. I've been binge watching all small space decluttering videos preparing to downsize. Unlike so many you actually do have a small house and really understand the problems that creates. In the UK we don't have basements, I don't even have a garage. Love that you make it functional, not Pinterest worthy and often give cheaper alternatives to storage solutions. It has really helped to keep up the clearing out momentum. Seeing you clean as you empty sooths my soul, no one else shows that, do they put stuff back in a dirty draw😂 Just hitting subscribe now. Thank you. Eleanor
Fantastic _long_ video. I live in a 300 square foot studio with almost no storage space at all, and one (small) drawer in the kitchen, and *zero* kitchen counter space. My pantry is two narrow bookshelves in the hallway. So any ideas at all on how to stretch and organize these non-spaces is so very appreciated!! 💕👍💕
1:11:40 TOTALLY AGREE ,how can you keep anything clean until it's all tidy first ?! (apart from cleaning inside of cabinets and drawers before reorganising!)
I'm looking at the inset bathroom mirror cabinet, with all your makeup/personal care items lined up precariously on the clear glass shelves and thinking that those small clear plastic containers that did not fit well into the sink vanity drawer would be perfect for organizing and stabilizing the items in the inset bathroom mirror cabinet. I've had the experience of someone accidently hitting the shelves inside one of these medicine cabinets and things falling over among themselves and even breaking in the sink below. Small containers not only stop that from happening, but organizes them for quick removal and use. Also, you might consider a single roll of Contact paper or Peel & Stick wallpaper to cover the outside of the acrylic makeup cube and fronts of its drawers, to provide visual blocking for the clutter inside. It's possible you could even find translucent or diffused color-toned material. All you really need to cover is the sides, top, and drawer fronts; no need to cover the back, the insides, or even more than a half-inch or so of the bottom (to avoid scuffing-caused peeling). Concerning including Cleaning as part of your Organization Content: I don't understand there being complaint. Most people don't do regular deep cleans; they set up their spaces and just live with whatever happens afterwards. Most people have no clue how quickly dust and dirt builds up over time until they're packing up to move out. THAT is when they find spilled food, liquid stains, dust buildup, bugs, and rodent feces. Most people don't do regular deep cleans because they have what they consider to be higher priorities, usually other people's expectations and obligations that struggle to meet. Or they have overloaded lives with huge time and effort demands. So deep cleanouts fall to the bottom of the list. The thing is, organization is an excellent opportunity to clean thoroughly and start fresh. You're already removing everything, you're already introducing new containers, so why not do a complete job and clean deeply? And that means expanding out to other areas, to the floor, the cabinet doors and drawer fronts, the lighting fixtures, etc. In organizing, things get moved to new placements; why not do a deep clean there, to? Otherwise you're just shifting stuff around. Look, I'm all for doing it all in baby steps. But even when limiting your effort, you need to give the spot a thorough clean. In the process, you get a chance to discover other issues of higher priority, such as whether you have mold or pests living with you. ALWAYS take advantage of the opportunity or the motivation to clean. After all, you may not pass this way again for some time. And how embarrassing if such uncleanliness is found by a visitor.
I can not express how much I love this video!! It was so much in one for me. Not even 5 minutes in I was subscribed, with the notifications on! Not to mention I was constantly looking at the like and subscribe buttons to make sure I am locked in. These videos are therapeutic, motivational and so helpful just bought my first home and its not a huge space but I can not wait to fix it up! Thanks for this, it was literally what I needed. Love, love, love!!! Thanks agan!
Your bathroom looks amazing. Your MCM choices are chef's kiss! Also did anyone ever tell you that you sound exactly like Jenna Fischer? 🤩 You can't unhear it 😅
I was maze with your organizing techniques, and also happy to see renovations on your home, your husband also helping with renovations I enjoyed your videos thanks for sharing lots of blessings
Looks really good. Couple notes though. Not a criticism, just a learned experience from one mother to another. The construction of your drawers, the way they are assembled, there is a good possibility those spring loaded drawer separaters will pry them apart. It will loosen the top board and the bottom will fall out near the face plate as you open the drawer. Only reason i mentioned it is it happened to me as i have similarly designed drawers (actually mine are worse, but in the same backyard of poorly thought out structure) with the weakest points at the extremities. Not joking, I had to reframe the lot of them. Not fun! Might not hurt to check the fastening mechanism (screws vs brads) and also ensure that they are solid wood, rather than mdf with veneer.
Love your organizing strategies and the products you used. I’m getting ready to change the old drawer organizer containers in our kitchen cooking utensil drawer. ▫️I’m a believer in everything having a home. And, storing like things together as much as practical. I also gave all 57 drawers in our home a storage purpose and name. ▫️We’ve never had a junk drawer. We’ve always had a utility drawer. I grew up with a utility room, utility cart in the pantry and a utility drawer. Maybe it was a 1950s thing. It may sound like putting lipstick on a pig. But, it certainly changes expectation for the space if you think about utility vs junk. Certain things belong there. In our home we have a utility drawer in the kitchen for items used regularly and a utility closet in the hall for cleaning tools, filters, scented wax melts, command hooks, shopping bags. And, I keep a container there labeled “parts for those extra parts that come with shelving units, etc.
I have a bathroom cabinet with mirror on the back and also a mirror on the back of the cabinet door. But I put a thin strip motion light at the top that holds on with a magnetic strip and when you open door it comes on. So you don’t even have to turn the main light on to see in vanity.
I’ve watched you before,I Love the way you fix everything, my proublem is I buy several of one cleaner,and I don’t use them much,therefore I have too many cleaners not enough space. I just Can’t break the habit. Got any ideas? Love the way you organized everything, looks great, thanks for sharing.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love the vanity and cabinet in the bathroom can you share where you got it I’m about to start a bathroom makeover- the wood is beautiful and the sliding cabinet looks great
I love the way you’re presenting your video is so much more realistic than any other channel🥺😍!! for example like renovating the bathroom i definitely scream yes!! YASSssss!! because like when you do some kind of project with your home there will always be stuff there (as you mentioned you still have to use the bathroom daily basis) but let’s be real 😂 who has time to take out every Single small tiny item to paint the room🫠 the countertop Will always be a mess with our tools and stuff that already goes there and we just have to make it work😂
We are a family of six in 800 squ ft. It always feels like we are being smothered, I've been trying so hard to make it more manageable. Also both us parents work so we don't have someone home all day to be able to do things like this, but we manage. I'm hoping these help us out.
You are amazing! One thing I didn't see in your coat closet was a place to store umbrellas. We hang ours from the closet rod up against the wall next to the coats IF they have the cane-type handle. We hang the smaller foldable ones on S-hooks on the other side of the coats. I notice that you have some space to do that to the left of your coats.
How do you deal with disposing of extra/excess re-usable, recyclable plastic containers? For example, deli and take-out containers? We keep and use them for travel as well as for in-home left-over storage. I cannot afford to buy expensive brand name containers so I re-use those mentioned containers a few time before recycling them and tossing them into a recycle bin, especially after a travel use. That means they do not get grungy but it also means I need to keep some in reserve than I would like to. Lately, we have more than I want but I am having a hard time just tossing them...
Go to shoe stores. Ask for shoe boxes. I've always used shoe boxes! All sizes work great for deciding drawers. No folding underwater etc. Just throw in dedicated boxes.
Good video. I feel the same way about Dollar Tree. I see everyone else have all these great Dollar Trees and I feel like my area got gypped. I never see these great things everyone else shows. Ours is ok but definitely not as big or has the great stuff everyone else has. Some of them look like thrift shop items 🙄.
If you lived near me, I would hire you in a skinny minute to help organize my tiny kitchen! I downsized last year, and I thought I got rid of enough from the kitchen, but apparently, I didn’t. The house does have a small pantry, and I turned the front hall closet into an appliance garage for things like my dehydrator, electric pressure canner, etc. I also put extra set of shelves in the master closet for the foods I can.
You can put you pan lids with your pans by turning them upside down ontop of the pans if you have room then they can stack on top of each other in size x
Hello Catherine I remember watching one of your videos and seeing use bins to organize your side by refrigerator and thought how cool is that my daughter -in law has a side by side a I would like to purchase them for her if you can remember where you purchase them thanks in advance
I stopped buying sprays for every type of material, when I discovered Windexx as my multi-purpose cleaner for everything: it's great not only for glass but porcelane, oil splatters on stove top, stainless steel of fridge and dishwasher, as well as table top, door, counter tops...anything I need to clean.. I love how it cleans everything!!!
This is absolutely beautiful to me. All the awesome organization bins are sooo expensive for just 1 small one, and to go that route with organization I'd just need like 15 more ... how do you end up with so many ?
Majority of the stuff she got was either from Target or Amazon. She found a lot of really simple, and inexpensive, yet cute and suitable containers for her project. She made/makes her own labels with her CricutJoy just to add that extra touch. I've seen some of the containers/organizers they carry at Target and majority of them are really inexpesive. It's also best to gather all your measurements before hand so that you know exactly the size and shape of the containers/organizers you need/want to use in your space. It's also best to play around witht them, and if you don't like them you can take them back/return them and buy something new. Now, I'm only a teenager who isn't out of the house yet, so I don't know much, but I love watching these and getting ideas for future room renovations or for my future home when I'm older. But either way, I hope this helps a bit! 😊
I aspire to get this organized too! I love your ideas and I’m in the same moment in time as you getting a handle on the house clutter or trash packaging etc that take up space . Decanting cereals noodles etc in sealed clear containers really helps everything is labeled well I’m just getting going on this for about a week and just took out my Christmas tree etc now it’s all cluttered up again lol ah it’s all good in time it will get finished ! Lol I use every inch of my space too my kitchen is so small I have to go out in my living room to change my mind ! Lol😂😂😂😊great tips thank you I love the clear containers and or labels really help everything has a spot then it’s easier to maintain and keep clean too . Stay happy 😊Merry Christmas 🎄 😊
Brownwyn go vertical! Use the possible space with very little floor (or ceiling) space and use hooks, bars, baskets, the possibilities anre andless as Catherine has so well demostrated to us!
Our house was built in 1960 and what we call the "pantry" must have been a "broom closet". The walls inside were perforated for hanging things and shelves are 24' X 12". We made shelves and got hardware from the home improvement store. 40 years later it is still working for us, but I have serious "pantry envy" when seeing shows like this one!
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and playing your marathon right now. You have some great ideas, thank you! I keep hearing one of the songs you play and would love to know what the artist’s name is and the song. As soon as it plays I forget what I’m doing lol. 16:26, 46:40. I went to your link for the music but didn’t get far 😉
Love the upgrades😍 Just a suggestion... I would suggest putting some painters tape around the cabinet frame and caulking towards the frame to fill in the gap. Also try using a used gift card to get into the space to smooth it out.
Love your storage ideas, Catherine, the bamboo looks great. I have been trying to declutter my cleaning products also, though what is your kitchen countertop made of? Mine is granite and I found that if you used the multi-purpose spray it seemed to dull the surface after a while and never felt totally clean, so I do suggest buying a specific spray for your bench. (Just a friendly suggestion).
I will have to tweak your system just a bit, bec my neighbor is renovating & I just got done renovating myself! The issue I'm facing particularly bec of neighbor I'm experiencing mice! So I have to put some items in covered bins or bins with tops more! Also I have to get rid of most paper packaging!
😂poor baby, I can see him trying to remember where he put the zip lock bag. Trying to get kids to remember to bring back there backpack us hard enough. 😁
I liked the shelves n the kitchen. Loved the neutral colors and the little A frame house. Could u make Carson a craft box with a lid u might keep on the table. Just an idea. Have a good Thanksgiving
Hi there , I wanted to offer some advice based on my experience with the Caraway pots. They do all of the things you said & they clean so super easy it’s like magic. There is something that you cannot do with them, or your food will stick to them like normal pans. Don’t be like us!! We did not read the full instructions we were so excited to start using them. Do NOT fry your food on the highest heat setting it will mess the pans up! After someone screwed up one of the fry pans I dug out the documents that came with them. It mentions you should not use them above a medium high heat settings. Do yourself a favor & follow that advice. Also, do not pile things on top of them in the sink while waiting to be cleaned bc they tend to get very scratched up by other dishes rubbing against them. As long as you take very good care of them they are a great investment. Be aware that means hand washing, careful storage, and using caution with higher heat settings. Also don’t let boys use them because they don’t listen to the above advice.
I liked the video, it was very good and informative. However, the background music, in my opinion, was a little too high, and some of what you were explaining, was somewhat hard to follow. Thank you for your time.
@@CatherineElaine Oh my gosh I can’t believe I got a response. I feel like I’m talking to a celebrity. Lol but anyway if you can’t do the cereal just put like a jar of banana baby food not the whole jar but like a quarter of the jar and he will sleep so good! I wonder why his pediatrician said that? it could be like that my children are now 13 and 9 a boy and a girl!

I really like how you organized under your sink. Maybe if you paint the inside of the space a light color it would also make it easier to see items also.
I love this video!I've learned so much thankyou Catherine❤,please make more! Organization videos are so therapeutic anyone else agree?
More coming of course!!

I buy from there too! I just don’t love a lot of Knick Knack type things personally so that’s really what I meant it just came out wrong 😅
Excellent job, video, and ideas. I understand on the mental health feeling.
New to your channel I'm coming over from loving life Megan

Can’t break the habit. Got any ideas? Love the way you organized everything, looks great, thanks for sharing.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your organization ideas! What is the link for the steam mop?
If you have a Daiso (Japanese dollar store) the acrylic bins are sooooo cheap and they come in all sizes! Amazing home edit dupes!!
I’ve never heard of that! The closest one to me is in NY, I wish we had one!
I love the vanity and cabinet in the bathroom can you share where you got it I’m about to start a bathroom makeover- the wood is beautiful and the sliding cabinet looks great
I made my own container set up as I'm old and I can reach them easily. I love the clear containers u showed. Any ideas for us ol folk pass it on ty.
LOVE LOVE LOVE my Cricut machines! I have the joy and the maker. So handy! I love your organizing tips in this video!
My Cricut maker is one of my all time favorite things too!!
I love the way you’re presenting your video is so much more realistic than any other channel🥺😍!! for example like renovating the bathroom i definitely scream yes!! YASSssss!! because like when you do some kind of project with your home there will always be stuff there (as you mentioned you still have to use the bathroom daily basis) but let’s be real 😂 who has time to take out every Single small tiny item to paint the room🫠 the countertop Will always be a mess with our tools and stuff that already goes there and we just have to make it work😂
Haha thank you!!! 🤗 I’m so happy you enjoyed this video.
We are a family of six in 800 squ ft. It always feels like we are being smothered, I've been trying so hard to make it more manageable. Also both us parents work so we don't have someone home all day to be able to do things like this, but we manage. I'm hoping these help us out.
You are amazing! One thing I didn't see in your coat closet was a place to store umbrellas. We hang ours from the closet rod up against the wall next to the coats IF they have the cane-type handle. We hang the smaller foldable ones on S-hooks on the other side of the coats. I notice that you have some space to do that to the left of your coats.
Thanks for the video! 😊
Awesome job ✨️
What kind of steam mop did you use
How do you deal with disposing of extra/excess re-usable, recyclable plastic containers?
For example, deli and take-out containers? We keep and use them for travel as well as for in-home left-over storage.
I cannot afford to buy expensive brand name containers so I re-use those mentioned containers a few time before recycling them and tossing them into a recycle bin, especially after a travel use. That means they do not get grungy but it also means I need to keep some in reserve than I would like to. Lately, we have more than I want but I am having a hard time just tossing them...
Go to shoe stores. Ask for shoe boxes. I've always used shoe boxes! All sizes work great for deciding drawers. No folding underwater etc. Just throw in dedicated boxes.
Good video. I feel the same way about Dollar Tree. I see everyone else have all these great Dollar Trees and I feel like my area got gypped. I never see these great things everyone else shows. Ours is ok but definitely not as big or has the great stuff everyone else has. Some of them look like thrift shop items 🙄.
I’m with you on the cleaners 😮😅😂❤
If you lived near me, I would hire you in a skinny minute to help organize my tiny kitchen! I downsized last year, and I thought I got rid of enough from the kitchen, but apparently, I didn’t. The house does have a small pantry, and I turned the front hall closet into an appliance garage for things like my dehydrator, electric pressure canner, etc. I also put extra set of shelves in the master closet for the foods I can.
You can put you pan lids with your pans by turning them upside down ontop of the pans if you have room then they can stack on top of each other in size x
Does the peel and stick come off without taking out the paint ? The only thing I worry about is it will take of the paint and damage your place
Hello Catherine I remember watching one of your videos and seeing use bins to organize your side by refrigerator and thought how cool is that my daughter -in law has a side by side a I would like to purchase them for her if you can remember where you purchase them thanks in advance
Thanks a million. I have some organizing to do👍👍❤❤
Thank you for watching!!
I stopped buying sprays for every type of material, when I discovered Windexx as my multi-purpose cleaner for everything: it's great not only for glass but porcelane, oil splatters on stove top, stainless steel of fridge and dishwasher, as well as table top, door, counter tops...anything I need to clean.. I love how it cleans everything!!!
Loved it!
This is absolutely beautiful to me. All the awesome organization bins are sooo expensive for just 1 small one, and to go that route with organization I'd just need like 15 more ... how do you end up with so many ?
Majority of the stuff she got was either from Target or Amazon. She found a lot of really simple, and inexpensive, yet cute and suitable containers for her project. She made/makes her own labels with her CricutJoy just to add that extra touch. I've seen some of the containers/organizers they carry at Target and majority of them are really inexpesive. It's also best to gather all your measurements before hand so that you know exactly the size and shape of the containers/organizers you need/want to use in your space. It's also best to play around witht them, and if you don't like them you can take them back/return them and buy something new. Now, I'm only a teenager who isn't out of the house yet, so I don't know much, but I love watching these and getting ideas for future room renovations or for my future home when I'm older. But either way, I hope this helps a bit! 😊
Love all the videos have me some ideas! I looked n the App Store and couldn’t find the c cricut joy app
I aspire to get this organized too! I love your ideas and I’m in the same moment in time as you getting a handle on the house clutter or trash packaging etc that take up space . Decanting cereals noodles etc in sealed clear containers really helps everything is labeled well I’m just getting going on this for about a week and just took out my Christmas tree etc now it’s all cluttered up again lol ah it’s all good in time it will get finished ! Lol I use every inch of my space too my kitchen is so small I have to go out in my living room to change my mind ! Lol😂😂😂😊great tips thank you I love the clear containers and or labels really help everything has a spot then it’s easier to maintain and keep clean too . Stay happy 😊Merry Christmas 🎄 😊
Brownwyn go vertical! Use the possible space with very little floor (or ceiling) space and use hooks, bars, baskets, the possibilities anre andless as Catherine has so well demostrated to us!
Our house was built in 1960 and what we call the "pantry" must have been a "broom closet". The walls inside were perforated for hanging things and shelves are 24' X 12". We made shelves and got hardware from the home improvement store. 40 years later it is still working for us, but I have serious "pantry envy" when seeing shows like this one!
I totally get that!! I'm so grateful we have a pantry!
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and playing your marathon right now. You have some great ideas, thank you! I keep hearing one of the songs you play and would love to know what the artist’s name is and the song. As soon as it plays I forget what I’m doing lol. 16:26, 46:40. I went to your link for the music but didn’t get far 😉
It’s called Tired and it’s by Mindme!
Awesome ideas!! ❤ Dawn
Love the upgrades😍 Just a suggestion... I would suggest putting some painters tape around the cabinet frame and caulking towards the frame to fill in the gap. Also try using a used gift card to get into the space to smooth it out.
I love your video's ❤
This is so satisfying to watch!!!😍😍😍
Love your storage ideas, Catherine, the bamboo looks great. I have been trying to declutter my cleaning products also, though what is your kitchen countertop made of? Mine is granite and I found that if you used the multi-purpose spray it seemed to dull the surface after a while and never felt totally clean, so I do suggest buying a specific spray for your bench. (Just a friendly suggestion).
You can stick a strip of Velcro around the cables too to make it easier
I will have to tweak your system just a bit, bec my neighbor is renovating & I just got done renovating myself! The issue I'm facing particularly bec of neighbor I'm experiencing mice! So I have to put some items in covered bins or bins with tops more! Also I have to get rid of most paper packaging!
😂poor baby, I can see him trying to remember where he put the zip lock bag. Trying to get kids to remember to bring back there backpack us hard enough. 😁
I liked the shelves n the kitchen. Loved the neutral colors and the little A frame house. Could u make Carson a craft box with a lid u might keep on the table. Just an idea. Have a good Thanksgiving
Thm
I love cleaning and organization products, I have too much!!! Your husband is awesome to help you so much.
Hi there ,
I wanted to offer some advice based on my experience with the Caraway pots.
They do all of the things you said & they clean so super easy it’s like magic.
There is something that you cannot do with them, or your food will stick to them like normal pans.
Don’t be like us!!
We did not read the full instructions we were so excited to start using them.
Do NOT fry your food on the highest heat setting it will mess the pans up!
After someone screwed up one of the fry pans I dug out the documents that came with them.
It mentions you should not use them above a medium high heat settings.
Do yourself a favor & follow that advice.
Also, do not pile things on top of them in the sink while waiting to be cleaned bc they tend to get very scratched up by other dishes rubbing against them.
As long as you take very good care of them they are a great investment.
Be aware that means hand washing, careful storage, and using caution with higher heat settings.
Also don’t let boys use them because they don’t listen to the above advice.
Can you link those clear organizers you used on your door under the kitchen sink? Not finding them in your Amazon store front.
When we move into a bought home, we line the drawers & shelves with peel & stick floor tiles, inexpensive yet easy to clean.
When we paint, we remove everything from the room, tape up, then paint. Just n fyi.
Where u. Ought print label machines?
I liked the video, it was very good and informative. However, the background music, in my opinion, was a little too high, and some of what you were explaining, was somewhat hard to follow. Thank you for your time.
I had an error with my audio when I exported it ☹️ I’ve thought about reuploading, I wish I had noticed it before!
❤❤❤❤❤
Good ideas. I wish I could afford those kind of products..
I'm afraid Dollar Tree products are all I can afford!
I have a dollar tree video coming soon!
I use plastic bread, plastic bag tags & right w a sharpie what the cord goes to.
That’s a great idea!
It may help you to put a low profile lazy susan under your makeup organizer.
Cant find the cricket or What it is called. I am Swedish
Hey doll, you should put that oatmeal or the cereal in his bedtime bottle and he will sleep ALL night 😊
I was told by his pediatrician it wasn’t recommended anymore to do that! But he does sleep now, that video was older 😊
@@CatherineElaine Oh my gosh I can’t believe I got a response. I feel like I’m talking to a celebrity. Lol but anyway if you can’t do the cereal just put like a jar of banana baby food not the whole jar but like a quarter of the jar and he will sleep so good! I wonder why his pediatrician said that? it could be like that my children are now 13 and 9 a boy and a girl!
I didn't see the link for the pots and pans.
