As a cop wife and cop mom, put your insurance info in a small, flat clip on your visor.
The cop sees your hands, when you need to grab it, and you will be reminded (hopefully) to keep your updated info in there.
It’s easier to forget about those expiration dates when it’s in your glove box.
I’m not one to keep this info in my phone. I need the paper! 😉
I used a red envelope from a Christmas card to keep my car registration and proof of insurance. It is easy to spot in the glove box.
Mine is bright pink!
Love this!
When my grandmother died, I realized she had scissors in every single room of her house, sometimes multiple. Whenever I see scissors around my house, I think of her. 😍
I really appreciate your "delivery". You get right to the point! You don't add lots of chitchat or drag out details. Thank you!
Sometimes there's a good reason for duplicates. I keep a candle lighter in the two places I use them most: the bathroom and the living room. I keep scissors in the kitchen, sure -- but there's always a pair at arm's reach in my living room, and a super-sharp pair in my craft room.
Because of arthritis I can't open the simplest things from food products to make up to mail etc etc. One in each room for me too.
Me too. I also have trash cans in each room
I use binder clips for bag clips. Very strong, you probably already have some in your office supplies, if not you can get a whole bunch of them for cheap, they store in less space than most bag clips, and they're virtually indestructible.
Same. I bought a bunch at the dollar store years ago and have never had to replace them! They stay on packages so much better than chip clips.
I use $Tree wooden clothes pins for bag clips. Cheap, cheap, cheap and you get so many of them in one package. Works for us👍🤗.
People could also reuse in great ways , the strong card board boxes when we order from Amazon or so, instead of buying different plastic containers for organising & throwing those strong card board boxes away.
I use those nice boxes as drawer dividers. I use the air pillows in my handbags so they hold their shape in storage
In the uk we have duvet covers. We fold fitted sheet, duvet cover, pillow cases and pit them all into one pillow case
That is the easiest way. Just put the set in one of the pillow cases
😮
CLUTTER BLIND!!! 😅yes! That’s the exact term for it. Where has this been all my life 🤷🏻♀️ 😂
I put a few hair bands on a small caribiner and carry it in my purse for those windy or ling hair annoyance days
My best sheet hack is to take the sheets off the bed, wash, dry and put back on the bed! No folding required. Fold a back up set, but I have yet to have to use the back up set.
You are one of the "CZcams moms" that I watch a lot and I've been trying to go around and say this as a "holiday gift," in a way.
Your content may be geared to moms, but it's also helping myself and a bunch of my other LGBT+ friends that were rejected by our families. We spent our time being ridiculed rather than being allowed to learn how to live.
Thank you for being here to help us fill in the gaps. The quality of my life, and those of several of my friends, has improved greatly.
You touch more lives than you think you do.
8:40... not a bad idea, but with adhd I'd forget the box existed entirely until I rediscover it when looking for Christmas decorations (oh wow! My swim goggles! I was wondering where these went!)... so, not the hack for me 😂
Your reply really got to me. I am glad you are getting some comfort and help. I know you know that there’s something wrong with them, not you! It bears remembering though. We’re all just humans, trying to be.
Shane, if you or your friends need a mom to ceremoniously adopt you, you ping me. I'm sorry you had to deal with that to just be your authentic selves. I have tears in my eyes right now just thinking about it. Sending love, light, and joy your way. Hugs from Cleveland.
I have been seeing you with the over the door laundry basket and i finally ordered it last night and i cant wait!! Isnt it funny the things that excite us when we get old?!😂
Certain tools and things I like to have one on each floor at least. Sometimes I might want a pair of scissors in my office on the first floor as well as 1 in the kitchen for kitchen shears and another 1 in the kitchen that is for cutting other things besides food. I also like to have a first aid kit on every floor and keep multiple items where I use them. For instance, I put duplicate kitchen spices, utensils, and gadgets in the basement kitchen. The basement kitchen is used mostly for making snacks or lunches when kids are in the media, gaming, or playroom. The basement kitchen is also sometimes for big events or holidays or when there are multiple cooks in the house.
Yes!

Scissors in EVERY room! ❤🙂
I agree. I have scissors in almost every room of my home.
I have scissors everywhere too! I love Kleenex boxes in every room too (I inherited a runny nose from my grandpa and mom).
@@angelabutler7761Always in my quad truck, too.
It always got on my nerves that my grandpa kept his tools on the kitchen divider. Now that I'm a homeowner, I totally get it. My drill, flathead screwdriver, and Phillip's screwdriver permanently live on top of the china cabinet, and some mounting hardware lives in a kitchen drawer. When you have to go out to the garage to get tools, those 5 minute projects get put off.
The problem with storing the containers with the lids on is that they aren’t dry when they come out of the dishwasher. 😢 Also? Those aren’t Tupperware! As a former Tupperware rep, I am kind of offended at the “Kleenexing” of storage containers. 😂 Tissues aren’t Kleenex. Copies aren’t Xeroxes. And searching isn’t Googling! 😂 I know, I know. Being pedantic. Moving along now. 😂
Shower curtain rings work great for hair ties. We also use them to hang our hairbrushes from the towel bar in the bathroom.
Hi there! For the bed linen folding, instead of wrapping the set into the straight edge sheet, place the set into one of the pillow cases. It keeps it neat, together and the pillow represents the group.
@@BloxyTocaWaveseaà
I still can't fold fitted sheets no matter how many times l watch these things. I do put them all onto a pillow case & just let it be
This is what I came to say.
Over the door laundry hamper=Life Changer! Same with the cord bundlers!
Um, what if the whole house is a "dread spot?" Asking for a friend.
Putting containers away with the lids on gave me an entire extra drawer in my kitchen! Decluttered a drawer of lids with no container.
I'll do this forever now. So cool how these little changes make a big difference.
I also use plastic shower rings from the dollar tree for my hair ties and hook it to a shelf in my bathroom!
Right now Dollar Tree has some really nice glass kitchen storage containers, square and round, that are great for pantry organizing.
I do this with ALL flour,sugar,cereal,beans etc. Everything!
For the sheet sets, I use one pillowcase as the "package" to envelope it all it
I love how you give us great ideas with minimal talking what a blessing you are thank you
The cord bundlers look like you can just get 2 command hooks and stick them on for cheap
Another simple way to store plastic bags is to stuff them one by one into a empty tissue box. Then the box is a bit smaller and fits nicely under kitchen or vanity sink.
Love the box closing hack
I recently had a cereal box where the lid would not stay closed. Fortunately, I used a bag clip for the cereal that was in the box to keep it fresh and from spilling. I thought there'd be one more step with this hack after the tab was tucked inside -- thought a bag clip would be needed. Definitely going to try this with my next box of cereal.
I worked the front desk at a hotel in college and was taught how to fold fitted sheets in angry Spanish. Your explanation made about as much sense to me as the Spanish tutorial but I confirm it is correct. At home I hang the first tucked corners onto a door knob while I tuck the others then lay the sheet on the bed to make the square. I promise it is not as complicated as it sounds.
label makers are a Godsend. I inherited one from my Father in Law - I always thought he was crazy. But it makes my life so much easier, and neater and professional looking
I have 2 pairs of scissors in my kitchen. One I. The drawer near the pantry and one on the other end of the kitchen because I use them all of the time. I have one in my bathroom for tags on clothes, etc. and one with my paper and pens etc. Also we have them in the garage.
Also we keep a box cutter I. The kitchen and easily accessible in the garage for tearing down boxes quickly.
I got the smallest Command (wire) Hook (that holds about a half pound) and stuck it to my refrigerator's freezer door. That's where I like to keep my scissors within easy reach.
Hi from Germany. I'm new to your channel (new year, new subscriber 😊). As much as I appreciate new boxes, bins and similar stuff for organizing, I love that you encourage people using whatever stuff they already got; good for the environment, good for the purse 😂
You really explain things beautifully! I struggle with organizing, i have adhd and a three year old. Things get so unmanageable. But your tips Really help! Thank you
I loved the mason jar hacks. I'll have to save my next emptied salt container. I will probably be using the new pouring and shaking jars in my craft room. Thanks for all the great ideas. And thanks for doing it economically. I can't spend all that money to make everything perfect. Keeping it fresh is my main concern. I have a laundry hack for you. Keep salt in the laundry room and use a good palmful the next time you wash a new, deeply pigmented item. It helps set the dye. No more running of colors in future washes.
Salt!! This is so helpful!!!
I loved that hack, too! Very clever. :) We don’t use either regular salt or dried Parmesan cheese, though! Oh well! 😂
@@DawnDavidson Yes, the dried Parmesan cheese lid sounds handy, but I can't use that stuff anymore, not since I've known how good REAL Parmesan cheese is. I did find a handy Dollar Tree item, recently. It's a Parmesan cheese shaker. I got it to use as a vase for the flowers my grandkids like to pick. I had a tiny Mason jar mug that's supposed to be a salt shaker. It was pretty good as a little vase, but the stems of the flowers my grandkids pick are sometimes too thick for the holes in the salt shaker's lid. Had to upgrade to the Parmesan cheese shaker. I loved having a lid with holes because they keep the flowers upright in their own spot instead of leaning like they would in a container with no lid. I think I got the idea seeing some CZcamsr (no doubt) doing flower arranging with some type of round grid over the vase to keep the flowers upright.
re labels: Even if you are literally staring at something you could spend a good 3 seconds trying to remember the name for it, you don't have to with a label it's right there. Sometimes, we forget what we were doing in the first place when we open a cabinet and when we scan labels it can trigger the 'oh right', even if you can clearly see what's inside it. I've also found for my adhd it's helpful for not getting sidetracked, too if I end up looking in something 'just in case' because it's not labelled cos I thought it being see through would prevent that.
Could you post a link or add in the description for the wet dry mop?
I’m decluttering from three bedroom house to motor home. I’m decluttering everything. My wardrobe is 35 pieces plus six pairs of footwear.and underwear and pjs . I’m loving the minimalistic wardrobe
Loved all the organizing tips! MY FAVORITE CHIP CLIP: Clothes Pins! They are inexpensive and last a long time. I also use them in my quilting when keeping rows marked. Love clothes pins! I love your clothes pin hack with the command strip as well - great idea!
I like how some of these ideas are completely free. Like the cereal box fold and the tea bag dispenser
Those pullout drawers look fantastic.
@8:36 was such a good idea!
Origami box folding for food 😮❤
I love those Christmas tree earrings. Thanks for the tips!
I cover boxes with matching Contac paper for shelf or drawer dividers. My pantry cabinet is 2 feet deep, so the front box is also labeled with the contents of the box behind it. I also add extra shelves in cabinets to maximize useful space. Matching boxes between kitchen cabinets and the ceiling hold seldom used or duplicate items.
My solution to not having to fold or store sheets is to keep only one set for my bed. I take them off to launder, and then put them right back on the bed. Bam, cuts a half hour of work off my monthly schedule.
Haha, me too! I actually have two sets- regular for warm weather, flannel for cold. So I only have to fold twice a year😂
These past two months I caught a three week flu-like virus, then my husband and I both got COVID. I was pretty much in bed or at home for five weeks, and my husband for two. He helped me change the bedsheets and pajamas every three days, but we did laundry only once a week while I was sick. Thank goodness I have three sets of bedsheets and several pairs of pajamas!
Storing my Pyrex with the lids on makes life so much easier! Searching the cabinet for the matching lid is so much harder than just popping the lid on when I pull it out of the dishwasher 😊
If you store the lid upside down (with the domed bit inside the Pyrex bowl) you can then store smaller ones on top of the bigger ones more stable x
Love the detail tutorial on folding fitted sheets, but honestly, I fold mine with a lot less work. It’s hard to explain in writing how my mother taught me, but it looks good when finished and I tuck everything into one of the pillow cases to keep them together.
i tuck into the pillow case cos I can't fold fitted sheets to save my life
I love putting the sheets into the pillow case. So tidy.
@@thecaptainsnark if you know any massage therapists, they can teach you :) I went to school for MT and it was part of our class because you use fitted sheets frequently for the massage tables!
You can use the pull tabs on soda cans as an extra hook for clothing. The tabs have two holes, so put one end over one hanger, and hang the other hanger in the bottom hole. Love all of your videos and ideas! Thank you for doing these.😊
I need to watch the folding a fitted sheet about 5 or 6 more times before I'll get it.
I had no intention of doing this until you showed how to keep it all together in one package
I keep my sheets together by storing them in 1 of the pillow cases.
Thank you for teaching us the spa towel roll technique I like it
I have a lot of ideas now to help a lot with organization. I just returned from Ontario for 2 years looking after my mom…and returned to, ‘oh my god.’ Now trying to get things together.
Thanks.
I fold my sheets just like you do, but I fold the fitted one inside out so it is easier to put on the bed
An hr before I saw this video I was talking to my husband how overwhelmed I am trying to organize both kids bedrooms. And I was thinking how I need to organize so many things in my house. Thanks for the ideas. I always love you video. Thanks you❤
I usually like to watch organizing videos. Can I say I have been watching yours all weekend ❤.
Love the tips, you have a great speaking voice, well lit video’s, great personality. I also appreciate that when you say do zyx you show how to do that thing I just spa rolled my towels and it is sooo satisfying lol. Thank you 🙏🏾.
MIND BLOWN! The glove box. Store more needed items in it. Stow away car paperwork in another place, lower priority. So simple never thought of this.🎉
My car has a pretty good size storage area in the arm rest between the seats. I keep my insurance card and registration in that so if I need both items I don’t have to lean over the seat or go to the passenger side to get into the glove box. Also keep wet wipes in mine. My youngest grand is 17 in a couple of months so I don’t have to have all the extra stuff. Think I might start keeping an extra plastic bag in it for trash.
The BEHIND THE DOOR HAMPER was a life saver! Thanks! (I will make a DIY and it will cost $0! )
If you want free cord bundlers, use sturdy toilet paper rolls. Works great for storing extension cords too 😊
Vac dry mop was revolutionary in me cleaning & not being dressed about cleaning.
My motto "don't think mountains to do, think mole hill" tackling too much causes exhaustion n defeat.
Very helpful. Thank you! Still not a decanter, but the cereal box hack is so simple! One of those “Why didn’t I think of that?”, moments. FYI: I am not a “think outside the box” person…
GREAT video. My son and his wife asked me to organize their kitchen. I am so excited to do their kitchen and to put your kitchen hacks to good use 🎉
Thank you for The drawer idea! I have a large crisper from my old refrigerator I can use as a drawer on my wire storage rack! You're the best. PS. I also get a charge from you walking backward with the cart!😂 but also from the sound quality of your voice! Your choice in content and explanations apply to all situations😊 thnx 4 Bing U!
Great tips and hacks. As far as the fitted sheet, I'll continue rolling it up and putting everything inside one of the pillows cases. Lol
Nice job 🎉🎉🎉thank you. The book holders fit perfectly in my bathroom cupboard and my extra body wash, hair shampoos, and dollar store body wipes are stored with easy access. I do tasks in small chunks so I don’t make a mess and then not want to finish organizing. Drawers dividers shift on me. Great tips. I love your home! It’s nice and it’s homey and it looks like you don’t have to be afraid to live in it. A lot of influencers homes are beautiful, but they look like you don’t dare sit down on the furniture or use the kitchen you’re amazing.
hey there!
Thank you for your energy and the straightforward hacks that don't go with too much chit-chat at the same time. I still have a long way to go in terms of organization. However, with you as my digital backup, I will get there, day by day a little bit more.
When my kids began wanting to dress themselves, I had a drawer with complete outfits folded together. The shirt folded over the pants, underwear and socks so they could pick a complete outfit easily. A plus for mommy- the outfit coordinated!
Love your ideas! I'd like to add for those wire racks, I find things fall over, so I wire tie cardboard from cereal boxes to the top!
You can use soda can rings on hangers to stack hang clothes, happy new year 🎉❤
These are great ideas. Your hold to fold fitted sheets is by far the best tutorial I have seen. I never thought about folding my sheet sets together. LOVE this idea.
I like the spa roll for the towels. Gonna try that one.
I love putting trays in my cabinets that roll out.I use my dishwasher for a cabinet.. love the rollout shelves ALWAYS hand wash my dishes
My mother taught me how to fold sheets when I was young and I taught my daughter in law the same way. Its amazing how many people don't know how to do it. But now so many you tubers are showing their audiences🎉
Tip: fold your fitted sheet so the side that goes against the mattress is facing outwards. Saves time and energy when making the bed, you know the sides from the top and bottom.😁👍
Oh my gosh!!! Clothes pins and company strips?!?! That is great!!!!
This is a great video, I will be using literally dozens of these tips! Thank you!
Wow, I've been a Mom for 45 years. Love your hacks, great job!😍
I’m so glad people are finally starting to talk about wet/dry vacs. I’ve been raving about mine for 2+ years. It’s is my #1 cleaning product that I recommend to everyone who had children or pets (or just loves a clean house). It was a more pricy investment, but 100% worth it. I got the Tineco S5 and I use mine at least 3 times a week, sometimes daily. With my 3 dogs (one of which is a senior and has accidents), it is just a must. I love the self cleaning feature and cleaning the dog hair out of it is not difficult (of course I don’t have any super shedders).
I got a Tineco, too, about 3 months ago! I would not trade for it! It also came with a Tineco small hand vacuum with two speeds. I used it the other day to clean up rice that was spilled on the cabinet. It made it so much easier!
I never understood decanting. If you are trying to be a minimalist, you are wasting money. Plus, nowadays there seems to be recalls on all types of grocery items at an alarming rate. If you get rid of the container, how can you check barcodes, or batch numbers to see if something is safe to consume?
Cut out the date. Tape it on. It saves space and makes the space or organized. I decant anything that moths or weevils could eat that I keep longer than a week after the Year of the Rice Weevils. Huge amounts of the rive production from a particular country was infested with invisible weevil eggs one year. When they hatched, they got into everything. Took weeks to eradicate them all. Now they would be trapped in their box of origin.
You could always tape them to the back/bottom. I can say I am not trying to be a minimalist and there is so much more storage when I have containers that fit the space well. The purchased boxes/containers never do
Decanting is good for things that have packaging that easily tairs like flour, bugs, and other critters can easily get into anything that has paper packaging. Last year I had literally opened a hot cocoa packet to find larvae in it and ended up throwing the rest of them out.
a hack for the laundry over the door bags, since they are waterproof and washable I actually use one in my husband's office of his recycling. He never takes down his soda cans and bottles from his office and it just stacks up. UGH I've tried a small recycling can but that didnt work for him. I saw your video about the over the door laundry bag and thought to use it over the door in his office since it would literally be within reach of his office chair. (Yes that lazy lol) buttttt it works! He uses the over the door bag AND remembers to take the full bag down for recycling day when it gets full.
I love your channel girl this video is great bc so many suggestions DON’T cost any money or very little!!
My daughter began labelling my pantry and it makes so much sense! I got my own labeler and started labeling everything! Works wonders!
Publix offers a reusable wine shopping bag with four compartments. I stuff plastic bags into a newspaper sleeve bag and put that bag into one of the compartments. In the others I roll larger reusable bags and a cold bag for grocery shopping.
What incredible ideas!!! You are so innovative. I really appreciate these videos❣
I ordered restaurant bus trays from Amazon. Use as a drawer in any cabinet to store things to pull out. They are open but it works well.
We break boxes down straight away 😊
Love the idea of storing plastic bags!!
I took extra spring rods and put them jn a cabinet to create a rack for water bottles and tumblers. Drawer dividers can be a game changer for sure. Happy Holidays! 🎉🎉
I’ve been folding my sheets sets like this for years, it’s definitely a game changer. Great video😀. Dorene Weiss
My favs of your recommendations have been the cord wrappers and the door laundry holder for the kitchen.
25:02 Love the idea of hanging sunglasses, keys, etc. with a ring holder. I have items that I try to keep handy in a bowl next to the front door but they keep falling off the shelf. Now I see how to hang them so I won't forget to take them when I leave and have a neat place to store them when I come home.
Great towel roll...love that it stays closed. Another way to keep your nicely folded sheets together is to fold the 2 sheets and one pillow case and pile them together. Tuck the neat linen pile into the second pillow case wrap nicely and there you go. Same type of bundle.
Such good ideas! I save these videos, but so many things I forget and then don't go back a rewatch the video!! 🥴
Gem is correct about the honey for chicken nuggies. It's the best pick.
The jeans, towel and fitted sheets hack I'm going to try straight away. Thank you!
I do envy the access to a really nice attic, and a really easy basement. In California in the older homes, we don’t have access to either one of those. If we do have an attic, it’s usually limited because of the space that’s up there. I might just be able to fit Christmas items. If it is something, I might use on occasion, it’s just so inconvenient to go up some tiny ladder that is pulled down that we installed. Whereas when we lived on the East Coast, we had steps to our attic and we could walk in the attic. Made it so much simpler.
Drawer space is also extremely limited, so I do have to use the top of my counters for storage of appliances; there’s just no room. I think it would be very much of a challenge to have a large place at this point because I can see becoming used to a lot of space, and a lot of “stuff“ so I’m grateful, but at the same time I need to find better ways to organize in the smaller spaces that we have in many of our older neighborhoods here in California. And maybe other parts of the country that I’m unfamiliar with.
Nevertheless, these are such wonderful, organizing tips! And I’ve used so many of them… Brilliant!
Thank you!
good ideas! several of them I have seen before! I especially liked the one with the phone ring from $tree, I will be doing that one! thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
I love the pull out drawers idea! I have bamboo drawer dividers. I love them! I package my sheets into the fitted sheet lol.
I have another mason jar trick I have been using for years. If you have a blender with the right size base the screw on bottom with the blade will screw on to standard mason jar.
Love the idea of the overstock bins! Especially for spices!!!
Thank you so much for your videos I hope you had a good Holiday. I hope 2024 is a great year for you!
lol when you said “you’re probably going to start sweating” at that fitted sheet part 😂 I used to hate fitted sheets but I do mine the same way. I use the back of the couch or the bed to lay everything down at that point and then fit everything together. Then it’s easier to fold and I’ve only cried about it for a minute instead of having to call my mom.
Love the box bag storage, gonna do that, and the mason jar hacks. ❤
You can also use an empty Kleenex box to store the plastic bags. No cutting required.
@@littlemom2070 Especially those new brightly colored Kleenex boxes. Some are not fans of those new boxes, though. A lot of people complained they're too bright for their colors in their homes. First world problems! 😄
