My command center is a notepad, pen, pencil,and marker in certain and same spot in each room. One active wall calendar on bathroom wall. Im big on function but not one to take time with asthetics usually. Paper ruler and Sharpie= My labeling system. Containers are shoe boxes, plastic bins or plastic storage units. Underwear leaves dryer and goes into one drawer. No folding, no sorting by any method, no standing up or making a neat pile. Socks matched and put in drawer just pair by pair, no other attention to them. Within last year started to only buy solid color socks and 2 colors at that. Soon matching all socks will be very easy.

to each their own. if she's happy with it and it works for her and she can afford to do this, good for her. my only thought is why a clear calendar over a black background? I imagine it would be difficult to see what's on the calendar.

Great organizing ideas. I love the small space ideas from Target. I have not checked there yet. My son loved when I organized his weekly outfits when he was little. It made him feel like he was a big boy getting ready himself. Now he is 17 and he still likes his clothes put together so that he can grab and go. lol.

Great motivator! Thank you! As a mom of 2 boys (22&14) I’ve found that just hanging & folding as I go saves alotttt of time. I’m not touching them at least twice that way . I sit on my bed & pour it all out from the dryer and have a spot for clothes on hanger, pants, etc. as I grab it I deal w it and put it in its spot. Then put it away. Instead of separating it all and then hanging them/folding them etc. time’s precious. It’ll save a ton of time each time you do it. Great job w the calendar! As well as the rest!

Watching for small space tips. I am living in an RV while looking for my last "forever" house. It's rough. Almost negatory on doing any crafts because you have to take machines out and put them back to take something else out. It's a never ending ordeal just to have a little creativity time.

He’s showing contempt for you? Testing a boundary? Playing a game? Claiming his territory? Show him you are aware of what he’s doing. Text him a picture of each offense. It’s your territory he’s invading, your time he’s wasting, your dignity he’s deliberately testing. He’s a teen. It will get worse unless you establish your authority now. Teach him how to do the family laundry, from buying soap to putting all the dried clothes away.

One of my daughters was really picky about clothes. It would take her forever to get dressed because she didnt like anything I picked. She was 2-3 years when I decided to start laying out her clothes for the week just like you are doing. But I put out 6 outfits. So if there was one she didn't want to wear an outfit she had an extra. It worked very well! No crying fits when I dressed her in the mornings. So maybe you could use the bottom drawer for an "extra" outfit?

Not a diy but living in Florida is fantastic but poses it's own issues like other places. Big one, rain plus sun ( besides rainbows ) creates condensation badly inside my vehicle. I don't have AC so to help this issue, I buy the damp rid knock-off version that the Dollar Tree has. They work just as good as the real deal and it's a fraction of the cost.

I worked in a pharmacy and we'd have to go through shelves to get rid of any expired medication, both prescription & over the counter.... That is the one thing that truly expires. Chemicals break down over time, most expire dates on meds are a couple yrs out so if it's close to expired, it's old. Chemicals break down and change their make up over time, so it could have a bad affect, but worse than that it won't be as potent. So if you take something that's expired and doesn't work like it should, now you can't take more bc it could harm your kidneys, etc... So you're stuck W a headache or whatever and now you have to wait a few hrs to take anything else or to take more. It's better to just toss it and buy a new one. Otc items always have a much cheaper knock off and it's the same ingredients, so you're better off getting a knock off that's not expired 😊

@@MHaapalaho My first card got a monthly "subscription" from TEMU added to it. The bank closed the card and now my email password has been compromised and I've gotten overloaded with phishing mails. Thought about putting card on PP again, but my big bank had virtual cards to use online and I still ended up with that "subscription". I don't think any of them are safe. I thought about just getting a gift card at my local grocer when I'm ready to buy from TEMU, although the product quality has gone downhill and the costs have soared. Probably not worth it.

The organizer you hung in your front closet .. you hung it on the wrong side of the door, thats why it didnt fit. Bedroom & bathroom & laundry room doors ALL open to the inside of the room. Your closet door opens to the outside. Try another hanging organizer like this on the other side of this door and you'll see what i'm saying. Not that you'd necessarily want an eyesore hanging on the outside of this door since it's in your front entrance, so you guys did an awesome fix.

Hi Catherine, those products for your car don't work well, I had leather seats and was sliding for days after using that armor all. I have been using Dawn a few drops in a bucket with hot water, gets the grease from foods and snacks off the plastic/vinyl surfaces, great for cloth seats as well, I wiped them down with a cloth getting most the moisture out them went back with just warm water. I also used it to clean the mats with a hose, put some Dawn on them and spray. Cleaning the car is the last thing on our list so they do get build up. Even as an adult with grown children the car is always the worst! to clean! LOL! Great job, I love seeing these videos when you compile all the goodies! PS detailing once a year is great but about $200-$300 depending upon where you live, some places have specials with coupons, check the internet in your area for places.
