    When my kids were younger we had a bag that they would put the wrapping paper in as we go. Makes cleaning up so much easier. That was alot of work for one person. Its good to get the family on board with helping to clean up. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Always look forward to your videos.

    Ok, I'm going to show my age here... there was never ever a single time my parents crawled on their hands and knees picking up what us kids through on the ground. Ever. Not a single time. Not paper, not toys, not food, not anything. Those were old school parents. My mom was like I didn't throw it there and I'm not about to crawl around on my knees picking it up. And she was like watch it not be there if you leave it. Ha!

      Yup me too. If you wanted to keep your stuff you'd better take it to your room and put it away. The day after Christmas was spent writing thank you notes - no playing or visiting with friends until it was done. We'd stop once in a while during the madness to clear up the mess and then resume opening whatever was left. We also kept a list while opening presents to know who to thank for what. We had a great time. We also were expected to help out with some chores/cleaning in between weekly visits by our cleaning person.

    A sanity saver we used with my 5 kids, everyone got a laundry basket or bin to hold their new things. Reduced tears from lost pieces and new toys getting broken. Bonus when the time came to put things away it was so much easier. You did an amazing clean up, I hope you and your family have a wonderful new year!

  • @robertju6352

    Your little pug is so cute! While our kids never had their own garbage bag we didn’t let them take apart their toys until the mess was cleaned up. It accomplished 2 things: first, it encouraged them to control the mess and second, it encouraged them to help pick up the wrapping paper so they could play. Also, a strict rule in our house was that they were only allowed to get one toy out at a time, especially if they had several parts to them.

    • @ashleyforbes

    I have a sister that is two years older than me. When we were little one of us would open a present and the other would gather the wrapping and stuff it in the trash bag. We did this back and forth all morning!😂 My Mom also told us Santa would re-claim toys that were not cared for haha!

    As you talk, I am nodding enthusiastically! You cannot see me but I will tell you I agree with so much of what you are saying and doing and why. We must think a lot alike, at least about cleaning! Nice story: in many Christmases past, my Mom would organize a "bag boy" an a "bow man." It really didn't matter if these two were female, the names stuck. The bag boy had a large black lawn trash bag and all of the wrappings and cardboard went to him- even thrown (gently) - across the room, for him to put in the bag. The bow man had a smaller bag for bows that could be reused and Mom would want to save. Likely your kids are too young for this and are much too involved in the gifting of it all just now but it's a thought for the future. It worked out pretty well as Mom had a special treat for her helpers and we competed to see who would get the honor. Eventually, Mom had to rotate the roster as we came to have 4 more step-siblings and riots were about to break out. Enjoyed your video- thank you!

    • @ashleyforbes

  • @annw1395
    @annw1395 3 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    We have a big trash bag handy while they're opening presents, and they toss paper in as they go. If the paper starts to build up, we halt present-opening, and catch up on the mess.
    It keeps presents and gift cards from getting lost. If there's too much mess afterwards, presents get walked on, parts get lost or broken, and that's certainly no fun. That wouldn't teach respect and care for the gifts they just received. Plus we always clean up the paper before the kids get to play with any toys so pieces don't get lost or broken. Just part of them learning respect and responsibility for their possessions.

  • @patricia.g1651
    @patricia.g1651 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I keep one or two bags ready for paper (yes, we cheer when someone "scores" a "basket"!), and then stack the empty boxes and plastic bits in a separate area to the side. After the presents are opened, I separate the plastic and cardboard that can be recycled and flatten all the boxes (salvaging the instruction books and accessory pieces that may be hiding there!). Even if you don't recycle, you will have manageable piles of flattened cardboard and plastic pieces instead of heaping piles that rip out the sides of the trash bags. PS: Loved other folks' ideas of a large, holiday decorated box for trash and having separate individual laundry baskets to put opened gifts in!

    • @ashleyforbes
      @ashleyforbes  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You guys are awesome. Have tons of great ways to stay organized during the crazy present opening. Love that you flattened the boxes. I need to do that next time because it would of def helped with how much space it takes up in the trash. I wish we had a recycling bin here!!

    Boy, did you ever motivate me! Before this one, I was watching your after New Year's cleaning video... I got up 3 times to go do something in my own home, thinking it was nice to watch but I should take a time out from TH-cam to do my chores as dinner was completed and no one was using the blender (smoothies get made for the next day after evening meal is over)... Now, I have done what I went to do and more- loaded dishwasher, set up washer for tomorrow's first load, fixed an organizational issue in the linen closet (small one), and my husband says I am doing everything while smiling! I appreciate the mental stimulation that leads me to happily clean and straighten. I have trouble finding women who are homemakers/wives/mothers and who do not work outside the home. Some of my contacts with other women is not great, especially after they know I have an education and a past profession. I don't feel I should have to explain my reasons and I adore the idea of someone like you, with many gifts, who chooses to raise a family. God bless you.

    We throw the wrapping paper in a trash bag, usually it’s all handed to their dad and he throws it away. It definitely doesn’t mean we don’t have a mess-because it’s two days later and there is still stuff everywhere. It helps that the wrapping paper is thrown away right away, because then the toys don’t get mixed in with it and little parts rarely get lost.

    Yoda is sniffing around underfoot- perhaps hoping to smell a toothsome dainty? (That's what we call a sweet treat which is only available on special occasions.) This is so funny and moving- reminds me of my childhood pets.

    Hi I am from England. My children are older now but when they were little we always collected the rubbish straight away. This was because the little bits off their toys would go missing if we didn't. Can I ask do you recycle the paper and cardboard? We have to recycle practically everything in the UK. Your home is beautiful and you clean it beautifully, well done.

    I put a big empty laundry basket in the room, and after opening a gift the kids throw the warppings right in there. They make a game of it, to make as many 'goals' as they can. later I can just take the basket(s) and seperate the paper from plastic easily.

    Soooooo, historically we would basically go around and each person would unwrap.... but then it would go everywhere, and once everyone was done we would take 5 minutes and pick up before playing with the new stuff. We still basically do that, but a few years ago my household started working toward zero waste, so I wrap in pillowcases and sheets with ribbon now. Since we do presents with my brothers family, we typically sort burnables (they were heating with wood because the furnace had gone out, but otherwise they have a firepit for the warmer months), throw what little plastic is in the packaging in normal trash can, and fold up the pillowcases.... they have also started using/reusing gift bags more as well.
