- Are you a Ladybug Organizer? In this video, I share the best tips and ideas for Ladybugs!
A Ladybug is a Hidden and Macro (non-detailed) home organizer. You want to hide away your everyday things and have them stored in simple, broad categories. For you, it's all about fast and easy clean up!

4:31 The concept of "Which do you prioritize: finding it quickly, or putting it away quickly?" is a game-changer. It's a key thing to consider, regardless of organizing style. In my case, it's better to toss something in a bin, basket, or hanging door organizer pouch and dig it out later, than to make the time to micromanage the specific spot it needs to go. (Hello, ADHD!) For other people, the reverse may be true. There's no right or wrong answer, but if you're going to organize, you definitely need to know YOUR answer to that question.
For sure!
I want to do both of these things! I hate when something takes a long time to put away but i want to know exactly where it is and find it super fast when I need it. I'm torn between being a lady bug and a cricket. I tend to do things in a lady bug way but drive my self and my entire family crazy with it. I am happiest when i organize like a cricket but it only stays that way for about a week then I'm back to tossing things in bins like a lady bug! 🤷
Edit: i definitely thought butterflies were the most popular because I have SO many of them in my life!

Listening to the car wash story, laughing so hard that tears are running down my face- oh my goodness!! LOVE your stories, Cas!
I've always felt bad about my hidden closet clutter and not putting things away in the detailed homes I thought they "should" have. You sharing the clutterbug styles and also learning and embracing being a ladybug has help heal some of that shame. And, my home has never been more tidy (even the closets 😉)!
Yep, every lid container, won't use it-( except in my pantry where i use see through animal cracker containers for bulk- guess I am not a ladybug there.)
Same!!!
I love that you told the car wash story again. 😂😂😂 You had me in tears. I love that you are human.
I'm a messy ladybug. When things are behind closed doors and out of the way, I can breathe. Often my life feels out of control, though, and my tidy spaces barf crapalanches--or I just don't put things away to begin with.
Been there. Declutter, contain, label and repeat.
Crapalanches… you should totally copyright that one girl! 😂 I can totally relate.
Thanks for the laugh of loud moment!! Love it!
Same! I would throw everything I own in a closet 😩
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cass, I hear ya girl. I sustained a spinal cord injury about six years ago and after rehab I had to learn to drive my car with hand controls. Well I was still very new at it and had to drive myself to vote, it was the day before the last day of early voting. It was at the city hall on Main Street in a small town. So I go to park in the handicapped spot only to realize it wasn’t a spot with the striped areas to unload my wheelchair- so as I back out of it I run my back tires up on the curb that edged the spot - I heard my rims crunching against the curb and panicked. I accidentally hit the gas and my car jumped over the curb and ran into the city hall building and knocked down one of the front posts. (It wasn’t an old building or anything- it was fairly chintzy, but still). So I’m just stunned. It’s at exactly lunchtime and there are lines of people waiting to get in restaurants across the street watching my spectacular display. The Fire chief happened to be right there in the giant ladder truck so he comes running over then I hear a lady in line for a restaurant holler as she runs over that she’s a Doctor!! I lost it - I hollered back at her - no no I’m fine!! Go Away!! All the while I was wearing a new sample of mascara that Id received in the mail and then I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror….. HOLY SMOKES. I Looked like the crow!! Practically my whole face was black!! I couldn’t have been more mortified. Except that I had to come back the very next day because it was the last day to vote! As I quietly went through to vote, a little old lady working the polls grabbed my hand (I was in a wheelchair so there was no doubting who I was) and she told me I was very brave to come back and that it was all ok. 😊 it was, the city manager told me that happens a couple times a year - but it’s usually little old ladies not gals in their 30s!
Yikes !!! That is hilarious. That is unless it happens to me :) the mascara mishap was over the top. All of that and you lived to tell about it. Thanks for the laugh.
Nearly skipped this as I'm not a ladybug. SO glad I stayed for your car wash story, that's hilarious!
Also the 'need to find it quick' vs 'need to put it in its correct spot' was a revelation.
Part of me NEEDS it to be in the correct spot. The other, larger part thinks that that is all too hard.
I'm definitely a ladybug 🐞
I love putting things in baskets. I always felt like maybe I should be more detailed, but it never worked for me. After watching this, I know that isn't really necessary. The baskets are perfectly alright.
Thanks, Cass. This was so helpful and inspiring.
My family’s a bunch of ladybugs and learning this has been GOLD for me, a cricket. Now all our spaces are organised ladybug style and it’s honestly made a big change in having everyone pick stuff up and put it away. I, too, actually enjoy the ladybug organisation in this season of life, with a baby and a bigger kid and a lot of things going on. It’s kind of nice throwing all gloves in the same drawer and be done with it. Works well as long as we’re keeping inventory low and helps me combat perfectionism.
What’s a cricket
@@NakitaCherie A Cricket is a hidden and detailed home organizer. You want your things behind closed doors and organized in lots of small and detailed categories. You are a very organized and tidy person!
th-cam.com/video/S4Lzv8WWbIc/w-d-xo.html
@@NakitaCherie it’s one of the four clutter bug styles that Cass came up with. Crickets like to organize things in very detailed ways but also like their stuff hidden away. Cass has several videos on the types of clutter bugs and they are very helpful. 😜
I'm a cricket and my husband is a ladybug. My kids seem to be a mix. Certain things they want micro categories and others they lean more macro. I've been trying to be more aware when I put systems in place for my family (especially hubs), that it's something they'll actually keep up with. It really is hard for me with certain things... I just have to try to *think like a ladybug*... lol
@@ms.s.4710 I am a cricket and my husband is a butterfly, he likes everything where he can see it. Sometimes I go crazy with that 😱
I had a similar car wash experience and to this day I have a fear of car washes. Listening to your story brought back anxiety over my experience. To this day, I do not go through automatic car washes, I have my hubby do it!
Even though I am completely obsessed with every video, every print out on your website, and every podcast you put out, I still learn something new everytime. Total ladybug here and thanks to you, I understand why planners and other things never worked for me. I'm in the middle of a whole house declutter (took a week off work to do it) and I couldn't be happier and more hopeful. Thank you!!!
I love ladybugs (or ladybird in the UK!) because I'm a classic one. I have a habit of shoving absolutely everything in my wardrobe. So much it's like a tardis! Knowing my style has really helped me to organise my stuff better. Thank you!! ❤️
Okay...I've never gone through a car wash (my late husband always did it or I washed it in the driveway), and now I never will because I'm sure I'd get off the tracks! That story sounds like something out of an I Love Lucy episode-- total chaos 🤣🤣🤣🤣! You are a fantastic storyteller ❤
I’m a ladybug with strong cricket style left over from when I was single. I love the Elfa rolling cart drawers for papers and office supplies. We also have the pull out drawers in our bathroom dressing area upstairs. I have my organization within my drawer. My husband just throws everything in his drawer and he prefers not to sort it out. For the last 16 months I have been mobility impaired. So everything I need has to be near me in my chair. For a while I stacked things on an end table. But at the container store I found these amazingly beautiful deep teal plastic bins. Nirvana. Sometimes I do have to stack things because I can’t carry much to get them to the place where they go. But if you look around my family room you will see mostly empty flat surfaces and very organized content. It was very helpful to learn about the difference between ease of finding something versus ease of putting it away. The cricket in me sees the absolute logic of putting something away in the proper place and I would go crazy because my butterfly husband and son don’t need that level of sorting. I’m learning to view pantry shelves as containers and let me have my level of organization combined with their organization need. Periodically I go in there and “straighten things up“ but generally I enjoy just having things sorted in big categories. I concur with some of the other comments about wanting videos helping us live with other organizing styles.
Awesome as always! ❤️ Proud ladybug married to a butterfly, fully ADHD/ND family. I know you have some rules and advice for how to prioritize styles, but I’d *love* to see a series with ideas and examples for different Clutterbug combination families! 🐞🦋🦋
Yes! This is my family as well!
YESSS! I am an autistic butterfly and my husband is an ADHD Ladybug! Definitely need to figure out how to combine these two styles into a LadyFly style. ButterBug. Some kind of hybrid! 🤣
Hi! She does have some videos like that for families or partners . 😉
@@jd-um4jw thanks! I just did a search adding the term “families” and found a bunch of videos I hadn’t seen before! But I still can’t find the combination videos. Would you happen to have a link or search term you could share? 🙏
I spied Dawn's house! I think I'm mainly ladybug with a touch of cricket. My husband is so opposite. But we are really finding our in-between place in the spaces we share. He's so good about letting me organize most areas. Which is good because I'm the only one who needs to know anyway. Anyone else hear "mom! Where's my..." 20 times a day?
Shout out to the ladybugs!! I spent most of my life trying to organize like a cricket until I found your styles!! It was SO frustrating because I despise lids and stacking and working to hard to get something out or put it away!! Being a ladybug is a Game changer!!! My daughter is a butterfly and that has drastically changed her room as well!! She keeps a very clean room thanks to knowing how to best set up systems for her!
I’m a Ladybug, with a little bit of Bee! At home I’m a Ladybug, but I’m also an elementary teacher, and I need to be able to find things quickly without digging. Love the Clutterbug videos and car wash story! ❤️🤗🐞🐝
I was looking forward to this video !!
I am such a ladybug 🥴
Love the end story .. I have so much anxiety going to car wash and guess what ?! I just can’t convince myself to go 🤭
OMG! Love the car wash story! I'm a ladybug first but a hybrid because I prefer clear containers so I can see what's in them. You and all those who recommend are such a blessing to me!
You’re a butterbug! Or a ladyfly? 😆
I'm with you. I'm a butterbug. Love clear myself for commonly used items but for stuff i pull out less often, say every couple of months, I hide away in a bin unseen.
Me too!
Love ButterBug - glad it's more than just me haha
I would love a list of big categories for the baskets. Thank you.
Ok so an example would be in a bathroom: daily products (body, face, hair etc), spare products, cleaning supplies, spare toilet paper rolls - one labelled box for each big category. (Whereas a cricket would want separate little sections for soaps, shampoos, etc. to know EXACTLY where every item is at any given time).
Similarly with clothes a Ladybug may toss all tops in a basket (or all jumbled on a hanging rail), whereas a Cricket would neatly fold/hang tops grouped by sleeve length/colour etc... Can you tell I'm a Cricket-turned-Mama-Ladybug, living with 2 Butterflies?! 🙈😂
@@HannahRainbow88 you Sound like a Great Mama. Lucky children.
@@crybebebunny thank you :) Only got 1 of my own, but I work with a few hundred at his school lol
I literally am laughing out loud right now. I'm also a cricket mom of 3 and this is me. 100% I appreciate your content so much. thank you for all the giggles.
Ladybugs🐞

Thanks for even coming up with

❤️❤️❤️
Sister Ladybug here…you stated it perfectly…Ladybugs just want a quick put-it-away spot for everything! The car wash story was hysterical! I went through my first car wash and thought it was sooo easy…enter when the light turns green, stop when the light turns red…but then the light went back to green as soon as I stopped, so I started driving again…out of the car wash before any cycle started. I ended up screwing up the whole system as the car behind me got my wash, the car behind them got the wash from the car in front of them…and there was quite a line at this point. Not sure if they ever figured it out…as for me, I’ve never gone back to that station…I. Just. Can’t. And my kids were in the backseat too…mortified! 😂😂😂
Now I'm scrolling the comments section for carwash stories 😆.
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Omg I needed that laugh.. that was so great thankyou so much for sharing... That's as funny as the husband buying his wife a taser and trying it out himself... If u haven't seen that and read it please look it up... It's hilarious
@Stowie, wow, that sounds like something that would happen to me as well 🤣It’s ok! Now you can look back and laugh!
At least you didn't BACK UP! I thought I was going to die the last time I went through and the guy in front of me turned his car off, turned it back on and then out it into reverse...I had no idea what to do but honk like crazy.
This is me. I love cube storage and baskets. So of course when my husband suggested getting a dresser to fold things and organize things all I thought was "he's trying to kill me isn't he"🤣. I think my issue now is that now that I've decluttered the majority of no thought items, the 20% of items left, are the things I actually have to put effort into making a decision of where it should go. The problem is we literally have no room so everything feels like I'm shoving still😭
Cass, you are sooo relatable to me. I've never gone to a car wash because I know me, I know I will mess it up, I just know it.
You are such a hoot! I love your realness, vulnerability, and humor! Thank you for being YOU!☺
FOLLOWUP SERIES SUGGESTION. I would love to see videos of how to live with other clutterbugs. Like you and Joe, I'm a cricket and my husband is a ladybug. I'm also very sentimental and have trouble getting rid of stuff just because so-and-so gave it to me, or if I get rid of this it can never be replaced (thought I was a bee but your quiz said cricket and I really don't like visual clutter, just like to leave stuff out as reminder to finish it). My husband lives by DONE and is driven nuts by my in progress and trying to find the perfect home piles. HELP!
Yes very much for July living with people of other categories. I’m a lady bug, my husband is a butterfly.
My husband is a cricket/bee and I am a butterfly/cricket but definitely not a bee.
Cas' personality is like a warm, inviting hug on a bleak day 🌞
So true! She is comforting, calming, reassuring, non-judgey, and has helped me tremendously. My husband actually likes to nap while I watch any Clutterbug vids; he says her voice calms him.💗
Your story really resonates with me! 😂😂😂 That is so something I would do!!! This is a real breath of fresh air to know I am not alone!! 😂😂 Have a great day!!
I am definitely a Ladybird, and this video totally explains to me why I identified so much with Dawn and Katherine's channels. Thank you 😊 💓
Cas, thank you for the very special treat this week with four videos detailing exactly what I needed to hear With awesome entertainment at the end. I would love to watch a video from you every day. You rock it!
Oh, I shouldn't be laughing at your car wash story but I am...out loud!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your Clutterbug breakdowns. Knowing that I'm a Ladybug has been a huge help to me. Thank you! XXOO ❤️
I’m a cricket but my husband is a ladybug. Learning his style versus mine gave me permission to just get started with a simple, macro approach and I ended up finding that I love it (and often prefer it)! There are a few places in the house that only I deal with and they’re sorted more like a cricket (e.g., my hair supplies and makeup) but it was such a relief to not feel pressured to go to those lengths throughout the entire house.
I'm a bee and my husband is a ladybug. What's with our husbands being the opposite of us? 😅😅😅
I'm sooo a "ladybug" But don't like those insects in my house. I'm also too cheap to purchase bins to put my stuff in ;)
Thanks for taking the time to do these explanation videos on each of the ‘Clutterbugs’. It has helped me so much! I knew from the start I was a Cricket (especially when it comes to papers and my clothing) but I also have a strong tendency toward being a Ladybug when it comes to my kitchen, linen closet, etc. 💝🌷
I am a skin deep cricket, but sometimes I organize ladybug style to make things easier on everyone at home. I don’t like messy drawers etc, but at least things are out of sight, which is better than nothing for me. I’ve also noticed that, as I am getting older, not being able to be organize the way I’d prefer is not as annoying. It’s an acceptable middle ground for me.
Ladybugs don't have to have messy drawers. They just have to have dividers and bins inside them in large categories to catch the mess 😊
Hi Cass. I am also a ladybug. I’ve navigated every area of my home in this organizing style except my papers. How does one navigate paper clutter as a ladybug? Dumping everything in one bin is so overwhelming later when it comes time to find it later.
But again a filing system is too complicated. I just start piling the paper on top of the portable hanging file organizer 🤦🏼♀️
She has some awesome videos on that. Basically every type needs detailed long term papers, then she has a bin above the piling cabinet and throws the papers in there to be sorted into the correct paper later. I took an afternoon to implement this and it's worked great since.
I have very loose categories for filing - Important, Current, Utilities, Cars, Holidays, Work, Mum’s Stuff. Everything gets put in its folder and once a year, in January, I throw the stuff from the previous year.
I love staying till the end to hear your stories lol. I loved that cars wash story. I was sweating with my anxiety as you where explaining it lol. OMG well at least you an the girls didn't get hurt.
In my head and heart I'm a ladybug. I bet you wouldn't be able to diagnose me straight away though. I am still in the process of decluttering, and my flat surfaces - well, if you didn't know they were there you'd be shocked if someone told you they existed. They are covered completely. I hate it, but life (with my disabled daughter) has gotten in the way quite a bit recently, and decluttering got put on hold. I drool when I see both your home and Dawn's.
Omg the story at the end had me dying! 😂 Your girls sure will have some fun stories to tell their kids!
If there was a love button, I would click it. I am definitely a ladybug. I tried to to do the detailed basket thing and I just end up with empty baskets and all of my things sitting outside the basket because it’s too hard to think about where it goes. It is okay as long as it is in a closet or drawer. Things out on surfaces make me anxious.
Cas, I have been watching your videos for a long time. However, until now it finally dawned on me it's okay to be a ladybug. I've struggled and have been so hard on myself. Also your car wash story is my life!! 🤣🤣
Can I be a true cricket but have to act as a ladybug to survive? I can’t take it anymore but as a young, widowed, chronic pain mom I can’t be the cricket I used to be 😔 what do I do? My kids deserve tidiness and I’m failing when I used to be so good at it.
Yes! I always recommend Crickets embrace a more laid back organizing system
My deepest sympathy for your loss, and situation. Just do what you can, and go easy on yourself about it - things don’t have to be ultra-organized to function. My suggestion would be to declutter as much as you can, having less stuff really helped me manage my home with two kids (I have rheumatoid arthritis), but I’m a natural ladybug. Also, teach your kids to automatically tidy whenever possible - for example, if they want to play with a different LEGO set, they need to put the one they have out away. If they want to get out ALL the LEGO sets and make a village, they need to put them all away before doing something else. Try to build in time for clean-up, e.g. ‘dinner will be ready in ten minutes, time to clean up!’ Play fast music if it helps - my kids loved ‘Yakity Sax’. When the family is done eating, everyone puts their own dishes in the dishwasher (or by the sink, if no dishwasher). Dirty clothes go right in the hamper or laundry basket in their room, not on the floor. Etc., etc. It means the dishwasher/space beside the sink and laundry basket have to be empty for this to work, probably emptied by you, but trust me, your kids can do A LOT for themselves from a very young age, and it’s not a bad thing. Little ones LOVE to do things for themselves. Make it easy for them and teach them the necessary skills so they can. Teaching kids it takes a team to keeps things tidy and they are on the team helps them develop valuable skills that will improve their school work, team sports, and later their adult life. Don’t worry if you can’t do everything perfectly - do your best, and don’t ever feel guilty because your kids ‘have to help’ - it’s better for them in the long run if they do!
@@tngirlz4622 I’m sorry to only just now see this but I wanted to thank you for your kindness…it means an incredible amount to me that a perfect stranger took time to be kind and loving toward me (my kids and I don’t have family so it can get lonely and discouraging) You have a big heart and I appreciate you sharing some of that with me 💕
Hey, Cas, just wanted to say I appreciate your attention to detail in your thumbnail design/wardobe Aesthetic for this series. I see you! That Orange and black for the Butterfly video (like a monarch), the green for cricket, yellow for a bee, and not quite red but a deep pink for ladybug.
Yay!!! :)
I remember watching the video where you shared that story the first time, but I have no clue which video it was. Props to you for being able to tolerate the screaming - if I'm in the car and someone in it screams, my vision goes completely black until the screaming completely stops because my brain has some faulty wiring and that kind of sound makes it malfunction; so yeah, that's fun.😖
After my Strokes, I can Not handle screaming either. Everything scrambles in my head.
Thanks for sharing stories. I laughed because this IS a fear of mine. I really can hardly handle getting in a carwash .... You have validated my fears 😂
I love ladybug organization, even though there are no ladybugs in our home. 😄 I'm a lazy cricket (so I had piles everywhere) and my partner is a butterfly. The ladybug-style (with added labels for my partner) works best for both of us.
Depends on the room. I'm a ladybug and a cricket! I'm trying so hard to focus on one project at a time. 🤦♀️ ADHD AND OCD! So frustrating.
I couldn’t stop laughing!!! Great end story! Your ladybug organization is awesome, most importantly “it just works!” Thanks Cas 😄😄
I love your car wash story! I have always been nervous going into them and trying to drive onto the track thingy. but wow what a worse case scenario! I never caught that a ladybug doesn't mind searching for something but needs to be able to put it up quickly and easily. That is definitely me. Thanks, this was a great video!
I always love youre little end stories, theyre soo hilarious 😂 . Im glad you made it out of the car wash to tell the story!!
This reaffirms it! Deep down and when I was younger (read: single) I’m a Cricket 🦗 . These days, now married and my mother’s caregiver, I function as a Ladybug 🐞 I do still hear that cricket chirping “more organization within organization”. I don’t mind taking the time to put things away when they have a proper place because it helps me to find them easier and quicker when I need them.
can a person be half cricket half ladybug? I want things hidden out of sight. in regards to my personal things, I like to have micro categories but I tend to have macro organization in the "shared" spaces of my home. Guess I'm hiding things but trying to make it easier for others to put things back where I want them to go. So would I be a "Cradybug"? LOL
Ok so I’m very much a ladybug. No lids for me. Needs to be easy to put away. And macro categories work great like in the kitchen. But there are areas where I like to see things clearly in the basket when I look, especially in the bathroom, where I want to be able to get ready quick so I have to find it quick and be able to put it away quick out of sight. So I have little open containers inside the open baskets with the q-tips, brushes, ponytails, etc. in a way I can see everything. Which clutterbug fits that? Ladybug and cricket or bee seem like opposites. Butterfly? Do butterflies like some detail but still easy?
My husband is a ladybug and I am a bee. We’ve compromised on clear big bins to chuck stuff in and then I have secret micro categories in the corners of each basket that I maintain. It works as long as he isn’t aware of the secret micro categories 😂
Omg Cass that is exactly why I’ve never went to a car wash!! The hubs always does for me cause I’m so afraid of that happening!!! 🤣🤣🤣 what a story that is! But kudos to you for trying!!!! Lol!!
I had a car with non- retractable antenna that got ripped off in one of those car washes. That was years ago, but i still won't go back. I go to my (many!l) quarters carwash and do it manually. As I'm getting older, I am becoming more of a Ladybug and less of a Cricket. Once I got good systems in place, it's been pretty easy to maintain (no husband/no kids!)
OMG That car wash story was TOO funny!!! "LOL" was made for that story!.. I listened to it at 1.75 speed which made it even more 'urgent'. Thank you for sharing!!! :)
I wish you had filmed that car wash adventure. 🤣😂
I am between ladybug and cricket style. I haven't quite figured out what works where for me. I am least of all styles a bee. I need easy storage with some detail in certain categories, some of which may need sub-dividing while others don't.
I used to think that I'm a ladybug, but I wonder if I'm more of a cricket. I used to have my stuff in those same beige baskets that you have in the video (and then sometimes in little containers within the bins), but it bothered me to see stuff 'overflowing.' There wasn't the visual peace that I needed. When Costco had bins with lids on sale, I bought tons of them (made quite an investment) and reorganizes all my stuff into those bins. Admittedly, taking things out of those bins (and putting them back in) is a bit of a hassle because of the lids. I'm not 100% sold on this new approach, and I would probably go back to the beige bins and not fill them up as much. Too late now I guess...
After looking into all your videos. 😱 im a damn cricket hahaha living with butterflies. And 🤯 it is chaos haaaa
I am a ladybug too. I like clear spaces and empty surfaces.... but don't look in my linen closet or junk drawers.
Okay, that would so TOTALLY be something I would do!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Note to self: make sure I'm on the track at all times at the car wash! 😂😂 Thank you for this video. I'm trying so hard to get organized, and yes my basement looks like something straight out of a hoarders show. Okay, maybe not that bad. But, it's bad. 😬😬😬 I'm definitely going through and decluttering like a mad woman. Lol
OMG! Car wash story is scary!! No wonder you get sweaty just talking about it!!
I am a ladybug and I ❤baskets! Since I've decluttered even my cabinets, drawers and closets are organized. Almost everything I own is in a basket. I get teased about my love of baskets, but every time I open a cabinet or look in a closet my heart is happy.
My husband teases me about my love of baskets, boxes and bins constantly, but since it works for me, especially when I label them well, I just ignore it as he is clearly not a ladybug.
Great "bug" series! We should all embrace our bugs. I have watched you channel for a long time and I do not recall the car wash story. I think you might have ptsd. 🤣💯🙏👏🥰
An afternoon with you would be a hoot! You have the best stories. Couldn't stop laughing. Hope you have a great day. :)
😂🤣😂🤣😂 Cas I love you and your stories!!! It's worth subscribing to you just for the funny stories.
Oh, and I'm soooooo a Ladybug. Thanks for all your insight.
You are so spot on about the different styles and our tendencies! I'm a bee and I'm not gonna lie, watching stuff just get tossed into baskets with the comment, we don't mind searching for things, made me hyperventilate just a little bit. :-)
Dear dear Cass!! Please don’t let anyone make you feel bad ever again about your nose or anything insignificant like that!! No beauty specialist or tv producer has any business changing you! We watch and are encouraged by you and your crazy stories because we like you just the way you are! Real people with real struggles helping each other along the way is what gives life meaning! We love you! Take care!💓
What drives me nuts is that I’m like a mixture of a few of them. I got ladybug when I did the quiz, but putting things in bins to have to sort through drives me crazy. But I also know I need bins and I love having them in every spot! Things do start to look bad in the bins overtime, but then I feel the need to re-organize them so they look nice again. Because I just can’t handle them staying messy🤦♀️
I'm not sure what kind of organizer I am because a couple of factors (illness and financial) often compete with my natural organization instincts...but I have gotten alot of tips from all of the ones you've described in your past few videos, thank you. The car wash story is kind of a metaphor for many moments I've had in my life...I was sweating right along with you lol.
As always great video & enthusiasm. Helpful & inspiring. Also enjoyed the car wash story...lol. Thank you 🙂
Hi Cas! I’ve been following you for about a year and I’ve never heard your car wash story. You described it so well, I felt like I was in your van with you guys. 🤣 I know that had to be so terrifying! I can’t believe it caused so much damage to your van. I’m glad you and the girls survived the ordeal and your van got repaired. Thanks for being so brave and honest to tell your most embarrassing story. 👍🏻😁
First, I just love you and your honesty and your humor and your channel!!! I too am a ladybug, but my husband is a Bee and we share a home office and it makes me crazy.... I would love to see a series on compromises for different organizing styles. His need to see all of his things is seriously conflicting with my need for visual simplicity... HELP!!! :)
Husband and I was working every night about an hour hour and a half the house is starting to look good we got off track and now it’s on again restart
I died a thousand hilarious deaths listening to that end story. Cass, I freakin love you. Thank you for sharing those things with us. You are soooooo relatable.
I’m a cross between a ladybug and a cricket. Can I have two organizing styles?🤦🏻♀️ Anyhow, I’m dying over here with your car wash story. Bwahahahaha!!😂
Yes you can be a combo of styles!
I am so sorry, you and your girls went Tru that ordeal. WoW, those drive-thru wash-a-car are Very scary and stressful, knowing how to use them. They are dramatically worse for 1st time( I don't have a clue how it's done.) Yes, I can see how one can get PSD from that experience. Happy you can now half laugh about it.
Laugh, cringe, break out in a cold sweat, lol!
I’m a ladybug n cricket for some things
It's great, I really need leave things quickly not necessary finde. But everything need home and that's the clue - make a home for stuff. Thank you 🙂
I'm watching this to get ideas on how I will go macro first and tackle my later piles but Cass I just noticed your super attention to detail in each vid you are dressed like the insect in the thumbnail that is so cool! Also that pink looks beautiful on you aww do you still go to that car wash glad yall are ok
She drives by, but not into.
Not related but you look amazing in that pink. 😊👍
I'm such a ladybug, my fantasy self is cricket. Your videos as so inspiring and I LOVE your stories at the end! I'd never heard the car wash story before, you are very inspiring by sharing your stories and showing how human you are. I look forward to your future posts!
I'm not sure if I'm a ladybug or a butterfly, but I'm one of them. My issue is that my son has allergies, so I need covered storage for his toys that get rotated a lot, to prevent dust from getting into them. Gosh, it's annoying, because then I start piling stuff on top of those boxes. If they were open, I wouldn't be able to. But I definitely need less complicated storage, that is one thing I've gleaned from these videos.
Would a dresser work? Or does the storage need a click-shut lid?
I love your stories I never laughed 😅🤣😂😆so hard and I needed that story at this moment! I love your TH-cam videos but also look forward to your stories at the end. CARWASH!.....I'M A ladybug 🐞 too thanks soooo much!
Oh dear Cass.....! What you have gone through! I sympathize because I can't handle that car wash thing either. Lots of affectionate hugs being sent to you express delivery. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration. Lots of love from another ladybug.
I am dying 🤣 laughing here about the car wash story. I have not heard that before. I think this is why we all love you even though we've never met you. You're just such a real person. Not some big unreachable HGTV star. Keep doing TH-cam. keep doing your TV show as long as they'll have you. But don't ever stop doing TH-cam. You are a bright spot in my day. 😊 😎
😂 I always have anxiety pulling into those types of car washes. After hearing your story I’m going to be even more anxious! 😂 I love your videos. Always so helpful and funny! I LOVE your TV show too!! When will it be back?
Hi, I had to comment. Your car wash story is hilarious, made my day. Thanks for sharing.
What a story! Too funny, but I loved it! And not to worry- we're laughing with you...not AT you! 🤣
Lol love the discretion of a ladybug 😀 oh I have a study I use for a dumping ground. I really need to get it organised🙈😂
Me too! Every so often, i put in a huge amount of work, and it looks tidy and nice. But before long, I'm after making a new mess somewhere else and office reverts to dumping ground once more.
@@thatswhatisaid8908 I know right. lol such a hard habit to break. 😀
Lol! They are all jacked and crinkly!! Haha. Guilty.
I see you saved the best for last! Basket-cases unite! Thank you so much for your channel and your targeted approach. I have learned so much about myself and finally feel like my home can be manageable as I am slowly putting the systems in place that work for my family and me.
I was laughing so hard I was crying with your story at the end of the video. I can see myself totally doing something like that. And the windows being open was the cherry on the top.
I'm like 3/4 ladybug with a splash of butterfly. Except my house doesn't look neat bc I can't keep up and there isn't room for all my crap! This series has been immensely helpful to me!
This is me !
I tried to organize in smaller categories but it always frustrated me, now i know why!
:)
Watching video again for inspiration. I’m a Ladybug with Butterfly tendencies. I always believed I was lazy because I could never “get it together”. I have a garage and spare room closet that collects clutter. Finally a system that works for me! Thank you.
I love these! I’m a cricket and my husband is a ladybug. As you can imagine, we butt heads sometimes, but I’ve learned lids are his enemy 😅
