And we have Joe participating! Well done the both of you!
This ending was almost as good as the naked in the van in a snowstorm one! I dont remember which video that ended but that one is the best!!!
Love the drawer! Joe is my spirit animal 😍 I organize the same way, no chucking, no stabbing 😂 Love your stories too!! So funny.
Cool idea to convert a drawer. I have the box version but I used a wooden box and cut a hole in the back. I certainly don't miss seeing cables lying around everywhere. Best thing ever.
Hi Cas, I love your "Toss-Organization" and I' m a butterfly. My daugther has adhd too. When she was 2,5 years old at 3 Am she was jumping on the couch (and the whole Day jumping around from 6 am...) and we slept in between her jumping area. When she didn't hear anything of us, she opened the lid of our eyes and asked "are you awake?" When we said no she answerd "your are kidding me..." When we said yes then she answerd: "fine, then you can play with me" 😆 and she clapped her little hands together.
She had so much energy that I allways slept when she does. Now she is 26 years old... When she comes to a party and there are all persons shy and quiet - she makes all persons dancing and talking together in a few minutes. 😅 Some persons are like this... she shines like a sun everywhere she comes in... I'm here! Now we can celabrate a Party or work together... my son is like me... quiet, shy, calm... raising him is like holiday for me 😉😂😂😂.
(In between of both are 10 years.)
It's when you raise kids who are so totally different you know you can 't blame the parents for everything kids do!
I love your description. How cute. You did great, They were lucky to have you as a mom. ♥️
'Stabby McStabberson' 😂
'Why is there a picture of me kissing a dolphin? We don't know, we're moving on.' 😂
Oh my gosh I want to move to Canada just so I can be friends with you! 😂
😂
Me too!
YESSSSS!!!! MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
Me tooo. So full of positivity!
Same
Was the show only 4 episodes??? I need more!!!!!! It was so good.
Yeah, it was. We are working on getting more though! I'll keep you posted.
Yes, we need more Cass!
Oh I hope there will be more . I tried to call HGTV to request it !!! Love you show both utube and tv!!!
Gurl yes. We need more of that Cass content!
You change my life... I have decluttered around 20 black bags of clothes. I am SO THANKFUL for your podcast, because you truley made me understand myself! Hugs from a Swedish ladybug ❤️
"Stabby-mcstabster" 🤣
Macro organization is my specialty... Chucking it into another basket. 😉
That made me giggle too lol remember that time she said stabby mcstab face? Lmao! 🤣❤🤣❤
We are actually soul sisters. I used to run in crowds/school, screaming, “MY NAME IS REGINA. I AM INVISIBLE. YOU CANNOT SEE ME. I AM INVISIBLE.”
Yeah. That happened.
Yeah. My name is Della, not Regina.
I relate to you on all the levels.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is very funny!!! lol
I love these ideas.
Cass thank you so much for the shout out to us moms with ADHD kiddos! Covid has been a rough time for sure!
Yes Lawd. As a parent with ADD w inattentiveness with a child with ADHD who's had to teach professionally while teaching unofficially, it has been a doooooozy
THAT HEE HEE HEE HEE WISH I COULD USE THAT AS A RING TONE!!! LOVE IT!!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Eva Moreno
There is a App tubemate. With These you can download Videos or audios. Then you have to convert it.
These audios data can be cut with a ringtonemaker app... voilà 😉😆 a bit of work but you can all Do on your Smartphone (i have an old samsung s3 neo).
I LOVE Stabby McStabster sooooo much!
I just want you to know you are such an inspiration for me. I'm going October 20 for weight loss surgery. Every once in a while I think ah, I don't need to do it and I'm not going to be able follow the diet and lose. Then I see you and you look amazing and seem so confident now. Thank you thank you
I'm raising a kid with ADHD and autism... And I was just finally diagnosed with ADHD myself last year... Also in the process of an Asperger's\autism dx.
It's been an eye opening few year, lemme tell ya! But I'm so glad to have found you, cass!
I feel like I've found someone I can actually relate too... Little bit whacky, little bit weird, whole lotta messy ways but a whole lotta love and fun too!
Thanks so much for sharing, and making me not feel quite so alone!
I love that Joe is in more of your videos. You guys are so cute
I usually listen to your podcasts, last time I came on your channel was a year ago and DAMN!! You look good! Keep it up girl!
I feel soooo much better now! Knowing I'm not alone with an adhd child! He used to hide from me all the time at home and I COULD NOT find him. ( And I have a small house, not many places to hide) bit he sure found a way🙂 Gave me a heart attack. Lol he is now 12yrs. And special in sooo many ways!! In some ways he more loving than a"normal" kid if that makes sense. And always "thinking" of ways to improve things ECT. I wouldn't trade him for the world!! Some of the energy yeah, but hey, we all have are little quirks right?!🙂🙂 Makes life interesting that way and tins of funny stories!!! Lol Thanks for sharing 🙂❤️❤️
I am totally doing the box thing! Thanks, Stabby Mc Stabster!🤣
My daughter repurposed a box she had as a Christmas gift box. Inside the box it has cartoon stars, bubbles, and squid, and octopus. Opening the box makes me smile. My husband is helping me make a little charging station out of it. (His style is just tie wrap the power strip to the power conduit and plunger in.)
Thanks for sharing! Need to go do my stations now too. I totally am the same way! Have to do more than one thing at a time too!
Lady, you are reading my mind. I have been glaring at my "charging station" (6-outlet thingy with a crapload of cords coming out of it) for the last week and secretly hoping it'd burst into flames.
Also glad to see I'm not the only one that sees stabby-mcstabster as a valid crafting method 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a great idea! I love the decorative, hinged box idea. Although, I am a cricket, so I will have to wind up the cords😁. You are a joy to watch!
CAS, YOU'RE. A. FREAKING. GENIUS💡!!! I can't use the drawer idea as awesome as it is-store that in my use later file but I love those boxes and now I'm wondering how I didn't think of that 💡?!?! Anyway, thank you for being so awesomely clever. Will be doing this today. Also, it truly has been a challenge for us moms with ADD, ADHD kids- thanks for the praise!!
I love watching your videos! I'm a ladybug with cricket tendencies. So you have taught me so much! Also, I love your sense of humor! I crack up every time. I really appreciate your honesty and how u use it to be entertaining. I am very much the same 😁
I love the idea but I saw video online of family home getting smoke and fir because. The little box get a lot of heat. Love the show
My daughter is now 13 with ADHD and High Functioning Autism, both present since 13 months old. It's been a struggle, but she's so awesome!!
Cas! Oh my goodness you make me laugh so hard! The battery dead on drill and using the "stabbing method" is SO ME! Rabbit hole for later today, but thinking I'll use crafting razor! And your stories...HILARIOUS!
You have such a sense of humour, you're a great story teller! Love your pink thingy by the way, looks so pretty on you.
Wow. This was SO aesthetically pleasing. 😌
Omg You just brought up a memory about public bathrooms. One of my sisters was going to a school via an airplane. My parents took turns turns taking the younger siblings(that is, one at a time) to say good-bye at the airport. BECAUSE they never passed a bathroom that they had to use and at that time (late 60s) you had to pay to get into the airport's public toilet stalls. My 9 year old sister had a "great idea" to crawl under and unlock one of the toilet stalls for my mother. At first, she was slightly embarassed, but also grateful. My sister thought this was a license to continue sliding under EVERY stall and unlocking EVERY door!
My mom had a terrific sense of humor which is necessary raising 10 children, I think. She couldn't get home quick enough to get my little sister into a bathtub snickering all the way.
10 children?! Your mom is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your story!
I like the idea of the drawer station because it is wood, leary about the box due to fire it the device gets to hot. Love this video.
Hi Cas, I enjoyed your show of five steps to organizing. Watched all three while sewing my daughters' pants into shorts. Love also your four types of bugs to show how people like to organize. I took the test and said that I am more like a Cricket. I do love to organize and reorganize. I like looking at less things. Keep it simple. Things are not out sight for me. Meaning I just cannot close the door or a drawer and be okay with it being messy behind them. I know it is not organize and therefore have to clean it up. With my kids' room, I leave it alone (very hard to do) for almost a year then I take one day to clean their rooms the way I want to. While waiting for my chance to clean their room, the kids must clean after their snacks, food and no laundry lying around the room and the path to their bed and closet is safe for me to come in at bedtime. Covid-19 has stopped us from having guests stay at our house. It was my excuse to ask my husband to clean his part in the master bedroom before letting our guest use our room. Now, I am putting up with a little more mess than I like, but I have to give him grace because really he is a wonderful husband and he does try to please me. Also loved the idea of boxing your cords and rechargers in a nice out of way form. Thank you for sharing. God bless
I am hooked Cass. Please keep the videos coming.
So fun we are seeing glimpses of your husband. I always thought he sounded just like my husband, and then seeing him, I’m like yup that’s my husband lol! And yeah... I’m the same organizer type as you... throw it in a bin and we’re good!!
I'm a ladybug married to a cricket too. He's much neater than me :) but we make it work. Just found your podcast and I listen and nod and declutter.
I did the same thing with my vanity. Well, my husband did. Cut a hole in the back and put a power strip in the top drawer so I could plug in my hairdryer, curling iron etc....
Very cool idea 💡 😎
Thank you for what you do, help and no guilt.
🤣🤣 stabby mcstaberson hilarious!
I am LOVING Hot Mess House! I’ve got all the ladies in my family hooked too! 😃
I’m raising 2 ADHD with hyperactivity kiddos. It’s a trip! They are very energetic, kind, and creative, but still a trip!
Cas you are my OG UA-camr. I’ve been watching you since 2016. You have a way of making your viewers feel like we know you. And now we all get to watch you on TV! And what a great show! Congratulations on all your hard work and hustle bringing you great success!
I love her Jazz Hands while whispering "Organization"
I love this! I drilled a hole in the underside of my kitchen cabinet and put a charge station in behind the door. I'm a cricket. I think my husband is a butterfly because he pulls the once nicely arranged cord out in order to place his phone on the countertop with the cabinet door partially open and the cord hanging out. And then leaves it there when he takes his phone. Drives me crazy.
"My aunt dragged me through McDonalds, with my pants around my ankles, whoppin my butt the whole time." Priceless! :-)
I'm glad you had this on your blog site because I couldn't watch it on UA-cam. I don't know if the problem is Google Greed or my internet provider. The Clutter Fairy/The Crafty Organizer is how I originally found you and I love your personality!!!!! Thank you for your videos. (You should complain to Google!)
The reason I love watching all your videos is because you are such a real person! You always see such perfection on social media and that intimidates me!!
You are a very organised person but just the fact that you only put those cords in a bin. It looks good and it's not difficult to remake!!!
Love the book charging station for my night stand
It looks so pretty Cas. Great work Joe. 😃
You look amazing! So proud, you have come long away!!
Cas, I LOVE Hot Mess House! I hope there are lots more episodes to come❤. Hope you are well and getting some rest in between all your hard work as well.
I hope so too! It's a waiting game now. Fingers crossed though.
ME TOO! THE FIRST EPISODE I WAS SO FREAKING EXCITED! IT WAS SO GOOD!
I keep checking my DVR!!!! 4 was definitely NOT enough!!!!
Thank you for the shout out to the ADHD families. I have ADD and my sons have ADHD (one son has autism as well). Both sons were elopers/wanderers. My oldest son found ways to run out of the house after a rough 12 hr night shift at work. We had to find ways to keep him from escaping. He is 10 years old and has not eloped in years.
Thank you for your channel which has helped me to find ways to organize my life!
Here's my tip....if you wanna throw your cables in a box....you can organize them better by sticking them in a empty toilet paper roll and you can label the cords.
you're either a bee or a cricket, aren't you? Clever idea
@@lindaliriel I'm a little of both. I sometimes like to shove things away. But, at the same time...I like to know what it is and where it is. Especially cables. I label them because for the most part.....I don't know what they what they are. My husband could look at a cable and know what it is.
I did this. I'm a cricket. Yup
Fully support being Stabby McStabby.
when is the next hot mess house? ive watched all 4 episodes so far. I love it!
Great idea! I love the idea of hiding the chords. Will see what I can do at my place!
I raised an ADD kid. He played the same game of hiding under the circular clothes racks. He said he was looking for clips and pins that fell out of the clothing. And he would come out with some every time. But calling for him never worked, just like you. So I would stand in the vicinity of where I saw him last and say something like "I guess we lost him. We might as well go home." He usually came out right away. And when he was younger, we did keep him on a leash. We got a lot of dirty looks but I'd rather have that than a lost kid.
I never let my so scape when he was younger. I scared him, that someone was going to take him.
Yes, in my case I much preferred restraining my daughter than having to bury her because she got hit by a car! I didn't give one flying hoot what others thought, but I did get a lot of compliments too.
@@mariee.5912 I've done that too, because it is a scary reality, kids get snatched all the time!
@@RebelAlliance42 oh, yes! Been there and done that. Totally agree. My son was a runner, calling him was no use. Now, he is a preteen, so I let him wander a little. I know where to find him.
This was back in the early 80s when things weren't as scary as they are now. I was more afraid that he would get into trouble, but him being snatched was at the back of my mind.
Yup I am and one of my girls. Hey teacher could always tell the days I forgot her "vitamin" because she would get what she called "that grin". It was the only warning she got before he'll broke loose. So thankful she had that teacher because she made more progress last year than any other. But omg yup I have to deal with shenanigans daily 😒
Great tips Cas! I definitely need to make a few charging stations in my home!
OMG! I wish you were my neighbor! We would have sooooo much fun! Your stories make me laugh so hard🤣😂🤣
I love that drawer! Also having a blast watching your show!
I would watch your videos and a few others’ videos and just think about the possibility of an organized house. Mostly thinking it was out of reach! Then I made it my mission to watch anything Butterfly/Bee related, even from other organizers to get a feel for what I’d want. My kitchen is done, I have a designated charging spot now, and I have a plan for each room. I’m so excited to continue!
Love stabby mcstabster!!
You have such great ideas. Even though I tested as a “bee”, I do like the idea of hiding my charging cords. Thanks Cas.
Yes! Have raised a daughter with the highest ADHD that four doctors had ever seen! Know the struggle, but also know that she has grown into an amazing young lady! Love your videos AND your show!
Thumbs up I'll watch when I can ❤️ I already know it's a quality video
My high functioning autism and ADHD daughter is 16 now, and OH BOY has it been a wild rollercoaster of a ride!
I used to run away and hide from my mum in malls too, she got me a white leather harness and I HATED it! 🤣 it made me feel like I was a dog! The day my little girl took off from me across a very busy carpark in our cbd and I had to buy one for her was the day I was instantly healed and forgave my mum! It was a lovely, rainbow coloured nylon webbing, I let her choose it, and she loved it because it gave her a bit more freedom than having to hold my hand. 14 years later, it's long gone now, but she still remembers it and still loves it. I still have to keep an eye on her when walking through carparks and crossing the road though lol ❤
OMG my son was diagnosed with ADHD and he does the same thing at stores! And he is almost 13! to be fair, we havent been to a store in a long while bc of the pandemic, but prior to the pandemic, he would hide in clothing racks and undeneath the fruit and vegetable stands. He would always yell, "Come and find me" and run off and hide. I would think twice about taking him to the store because he would always just run off abd quite frankly I was more afraid of something happening to him than entertaining him! Now I know that I am not alone. By the way, I did a very good job not showing the terror in my face but many people would applaud me and my patience with him because they would see how persistent he was and how I would keep my cool. It's gotten way better with age, though. Way better.
Way to go, Joe! That's awesome you worked together on a project, :) Cool ideas!!
What a great idea!!!! Genius
I love it "labeled it cords and cables and I'm organized" sounds like me. I probably come here to hear the stories after the actual video. I love your videos!!!!!
I finally got to catch your new show. I really loved it! Congratulations on all of your success 🙂
I have the same dog 🥰🥰🥰. Aren’t they just the best family pets 😱😍❤️
Yeah, I love my dog so much!
You look great and so does your place nice ideas thanks lady bug!
Okay I haven't been in UA-cam in a long time and oh my god you look amazing. Not that you didnt look great before (you are always so pretty) but it looks like you've lost a good amount of weight. The last time I tuned into your channel milo was a newborn so it's been a hot minute, but you look great and you seem happy and full of energy. You go mama!!
I always love watching until the very end :)
I can't wait until the end of the video just to see what you have to say! I'm usually laughing so hard that my family asks what's so funny. Love your videos! Keep them coming!
Hey I love your style and it's helped me a lot! I wanted to add I've found the boxes with hinged lids at other stores here, like Ross, Dollar General & Tuesday Morning. I love them for storage, but going to use the charging station by my bed, awesome solution! By the way love the new show. I'd like to see more of your tips and organizing products on the show, but it's really great. I'm so happy for you! Thanks for the tips!
Just watched the 1st episode of your show Hot Mess House 🏠 I'm choked up because I'm so darn proud of you! Congrats, Cassandra!!!! 💕
Omg you look so good I been MIA for a while 😐
Thanks for ideas. Cass you look gorgeous. ❤️
You always make me smile. Congrats on the new show! You are gonna do great!
Really enjoyed your tv show ...congratulations!
LOL your story reminds me of one about my Mama. She would hide as well and when my Granny would find her she'd run out of the door and kick her shoes off into the street. Granny would get her shoes collect her and go back in the store. One day my Aunt Lucille was with them and Mama did her thing. When she ran out of the store it was my Aunt who went for her. When she kicked off her shoes, Aunt Lucille have her 3 or 4 good smacks on her behind, took her hand, walked her into the street and made her pick up her OWN shoes. That was the very last time she pulled that stunt.
You are so hilarious! Thank you for keeping this UA-cam channel going. I can only imagine how much more busier you are now with the tv show as well... which btw I LOVE you have inspired me again to get to those neglected spaces only hoarding junk.
Love your new show...need some more episodes quick! I'm selling my house and going through everything. Totally overwhelmed. I'm going to travel around the US in a 24 ft. Travel trailer. I'm stuck in the don't want to get rid of some stuff in case I buy a house again mindset but then also don't have a place to put it without having to pay for monthly storage. To bad I can't store it in the cloud 🤣. The part about the China dishes in the first show was very helpful. It's hard to let go of the memories or "that" part of your life. Time to move on and make new memories...
Best wishes on your show and you're doing a fabulous job!
Oh man, I miss Zellers now that its gone... great cord hacks 👍
I pretty much don't remember my childhood so in my mind it was great and I was the perfect child! 😇
"Organization!" It's the new Jazz Hands. Growing up, my sibs & I used to think it was HILARIOUS to crawl out under a locked bathroom door. Especially at church. Because, ya know . . . . [evil grin] ;-)
You'r looking great after your amazing weightloss!!! Your show is so georgeous and i love watching it. Love your books and your advises helping me a lot to organize my home. Even my cabinets are neat and clean you can open them all the times without getting lost under the things that's falling out 😂😂😂thank you so much
That was funny, but cruel. For a kids yes. For your mom and aunt no. Awesome stuff as usual Cassandra.
Great ideas! I love the Michael’s box idea.. btw Miss HGTV star, did you know that if someone (aka ME) searches listings on DirecTV by a persons name, YOURS IS LISTED! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you my friend, have arrived! We have known it for a long time.. now the whole world will know! Congrats!!!! Keep up the great work!
You crack me up every time!😂 I love all your videos, and tomorrow I’m going to go by a hinged box to make a charging station for all my crap, I mean cords😛
I played a game when I was young too... Fall on the floor at any store and yell at the top of my lungs, ” don't hit me again, mommy” my momma didn't think it was near as funny as I did.😬 I would get a silent threat. You know ”that look.” game over
Thank you for always sharing great ideas. You look Amazing!💜
Really love the box idea on a night stand!! Will definitely do that once I get a night stand 😉😂😂
Thankyou for another great video, complete with 'afters' Gotta love them !
What about heat? Some chargers get quite hot.
That was my thought too.
Me too, Especially wrapping the wires I thought we weren't supposed to
You can add a silicone pot holder under the surge resistor.
Melissa Canonge The world needs people like Melissa, I would never have thought of that!
@@MelissaCanonge. What good will the silicone pot holder do? Tia
You look great girl!!!!!!
Hi Cas, I enjoy your videos. Are you going to make a weight loss update video? You look amazing. You make me smile every time you post a video. I also suffer from depression. So, thank you for being so honest with mental issues.
Me and my 15 year old were diagnosed last year... its a struggle but we are working on it all...
