Olá. Moro no Rio Grande do Sul no Brasil. Conheci hoje seu canal e adorei😊
Hello Catherine. Your channel came up organically for me and I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thank you. As a mature woman who raised my own children and ran a daycare for many years, easily caring for over 500 children throughout my life, I feel compelled to share this. In your children’s playroom, toy section, and in your sons bedroom, clearing video, I noticed you commenting about how many toys you have, how people might think it’s too much, etc. Never apologize for the way you raise your children, and your choices! It is obvious that you are a caring mother. It is no one’s business and if they offer negative comments or judgement in that respect, just delete it and move on. Little sister, you are rocking it!❤
Just a FYI, if you need a small dowel for a project, I’ve seen a lot of people cut the long bar from a plastic clothes hanger with wire cutters and it’s the same size as a dowel and you can use a white one and have it already colored instead of just plain wood
I love this idea, I have slowly been replacing my white plastic hangers, And was wondering what to do with them. Our resale shops are overstocked on hangers so they don’t want them. I will hang onto them a little longer and see if I can make something useful that needs dowels.
You can also look up plastic hanger projects and find a lot of videos on using those!@@bitrudder3792
Love your videos. Tip: if you want to have less waste/trash/recycling AND save a mint on healthcare costs - and not necessarily spend more on food - transition to a meat/fat based diet vs a plant-based one for the whole family. Support regenerative (especially local) ranching/farming to heal the planet.
So glad to see someone bringing attention to this subject. People would be surprised at how satisfying this type of eating is and, therefore, less expensive in the long run. This includes less medical costs. Thank you!
@@judithmcfarland943 ❤️ I continue to be amazed. Tonight I came across a video of a man who avoided having a hip replacement, and in fact regrow all of his cartilage. He credited to Dr. Ken Berry with the inspiration to try a completely new way of eating. it wasn't completely carnivore, he eliminated all sugars, all starches, all nightshade vegetables, and added turmeric, glucosamine chomdroitin And collagen supplements. And he walked or biked very carefully every day pushing himself a little bit past is crippling arthritis as his ability expended. He said he was 75% better after three months, and then he just continued even though his doctor told him he would still need the hip replacement. I think you said around a year or so he had an accident, something necessitated Diagnostic imaging and the doctor and he were both astounded that all of his collagen I've been restored, no need for a hip replacement.
We need animal products!
Be sure to add a brown sugar softener to your brown sugar. I have a clay disk that I soak in water...dry it off and place in the container of brown sugar. It keeps the sugar soft and easy to use. You could've just warmed the brown sugar in the microwave to soften it for use.
I’m New to your channel and I am living in a small home so I’m going to try the diy video and I am starting to de clutter my bath room and the kitchen underneath the kitchen sink I I’ll be watching more of your diy video on small spaces to de clutter thank you 🙏

Ohhh. This light weight one would be perfect for tea bags!!!
This is a very helpful video. I like to put my spices on double tiered lazy susans or turn table because I can get so much more in an average cabinet. I start on top and write with a sharpie or put a stick up letter of an A under the first spice like allspice, then go around in alphabetical order and then start the bottom section with let's say I'm on G. So I put a G below the A to indicate to my family that this is where it starts again and what letter it starts with. This has amazingly worked for me for 30+ years. I use the riser style you use in the middle for larger things like salt and peppers in the cabint above the stove. I use this for my spices with the riser in the middle and double lazy susans on each side works so well. Hope that makes sense.
I would have liked to see a picture.
I'll second that - decads of success with simple 1- and 2-level basic turnrables for not only spices, but oils, vinegars, cleaners, laundry soaps/bars, lint-roller, hanger clips, supplements and even frequently accessed kitchen tools like pyrex measuring cups, cutting cones, freestanding blendstick accessories, and wine/liquor in an awkward lower cabinets.
..AND love turntables in the fridge, as hubs loves multiple kinds of condiments!
Great work! You go girlie, you got this…..Dollar tree is getting more competitive for organization and DYI stuff…..
To soften brown sugar just break off a hunk of bread and put in the jar. The next day it will
be totally soft. It doesn't go bad.
😮
Yes, I used to do this all the time until I stopped doing bread and sugar! Over time, the bread dries out, but it works great. Between ditching bread and the sugar, I used a small piece of dampened paper towel with the same success, easy peasy!
I do this with cake and cookies. 😅
The 3 tier box you made would look super cute with some fresh herbs
Oooh yes!!
If you didn't want to use hot glu on them you could use zip ties.
we have a cheese/deli meat bin. We don't eat deli meat but put bacon and sausage in there as well.
Bacon and sausage are as bad for your health as deli meat.
Great job again thank you✌️
14:10 me again..haha
I found my step shelf from DT to be a bit flimsy but turning it upside down is brilliant!!!!
Well done on the organization, thank you.
Having purchased many of the wire shelves from Dollar Tree, I can tell you that the wire shelf you put the teal basket on is almost twice the size of the one from the dollar tree and has much sturdier legs. The wire step shelf is also larger and much sturdier than the one from Dollar Tree.
I loved the wood craft idea is ideal and the blue baskets for under cabinet idea. I did something similar when I reorganized my cabinet under my bathroom sink. Instead I took a shelf and put a locker bin basket on top and filled it with cleaning products. Also the hooks you mentioned about using for measuring cups or utensils - I have a stand alone range and so on the left i inverted one of those hooks and took Christmas ornaments t hooks (or can use paper clips opened) and I hung my oven mitts and pot holders on side of my range so when I need to take something out of the oven - the mitts are there!
Another idea I discovered is to use metal or plastic coated shelves for my tea and coffee products. They stack perfectly so on top I placed a round lazy Susan tray and put tea balls, some tea packages, and other, the middle ii placed containers or braces of teas. And the bottom I have a plastic basket for tea pods, and packaged drinks like Chinese ginger drink so I removed the packaging placed the individual package and put them in zip lock bags and put them in the basket
As for Michael Kors bags, our houseguests definitely bought Michael Kors products and there are resale avenues online that will sell luxury bags… You’ll just have to see if Michael Kors is one of their preferred brands.
J'adore tous ces❤ rangement!
Tea bag organization
I just started watching your viedos n l really enjoy your dollar tree hacks very helpful l enjoy ! Thanks
Catherine - tip for brown sugar if hard - put sliced apple inside or a ceramic or clay brown sugar saver which you soak in warm water for 15 mins then add to brown sugar and it will soften! I’ve had really hard brown sugar and tried those methods and it came back to soft state - it works! Also for mouldy cheese, cut off around mould and it can still be used passed expiry in cooking (unless it smells really stinky)
Also I have a lot of things past expiry like spices and can goods that aren’t spoiled. In fact I read and watched programs where they say that the date on packages is a guideline not a must for expired items. They said one can use items past expired dates. Some of my spices I’ve had for 20 years and others have been 4 years past expiry date
I have my measuring spoons and measuring cups on the wall white command strips. Most of my stuff has been bought at the dollar store and it works just as good as the expensive stuff and I've had them for over a decade. I have my cleaning products all in bins because I ran so there's no leak spills or damages in the actual cabinets
Great Ideas and cost effective! Thanks Catherine
Hey Catherine, these videos are amazing!!! I definitely love the before and after shots all of the time!!! ❤❤❤
I put dollar tree cutting mats on my frig shelves. I can pull them off and clean them in the sink. The light shines right through them.
For extra space in the freezer, if poss, take stuff out of the boxes they come in. Cut the cooking instructions from the box and slide everything into ziplock bags to store in the freezer. The boxes take up unecessary space.
Put a small piece of bread in br sugar. It absorbs moisture n keeps br sugar from getting hard
A slice of bread will keep baked goods soft, especially cookies.
I have always kept brown sugar in a air tight baggie in a nicer container. I use a decorative jar or canister. I put baggie of brown sugar, which has hardened, in the microwave for a short amt of time, in increments, massaging it in between intervals of 10-20 seconds depending on microwave. This has always worked wonderfully, for me.
I still have my bag.Thanks for the show
Love the video thanks for the ideas! ❤I want to start sharing my organising ideas too, I have a toddler so I'm like where will I fit it in my schedule 😅
It is tough, I feel your pain!
🤣 Jot down your ideas, and share them in person either now or later. Photos and informal video, too! Then you'll be ready to help anyone AND have material if you ever vlog!
Use piture frames (acrylic) for spices in drawer.
Such creative ideas ❤
When you have things hanging on the inside of a cabinet door, how do you close the door? It looks like it would hit whatever is on the shelf.
I finally added things to the inside of my kitchen cabinets. The main thing is to measure first and also measure the hook and how long the thing is that’s going to hang down. I’ve also got things hanging on the left and right walls of lower cabinets and those things have been chosen so they don’t interfere when I pull things off of the shelves I added to the inside of the cabinet (because if I want a pot to cook with I just want to grab it and pull it out, or put it away with one move.) A little planning does the trick. I am beyond happy with the result and it has been well over a year since I did that project.
Got a new subscriber here 😊
Thank you!!
I love cheese and eat a lot. Yes I have a bin just for cheese lol! I also read that too much cheese causes cancer and I recently found out I had uterine cancer and had to have a full hysterectomy. So I’m kind of skepticle about eating cheese now.
Recently saw a video showing someone using a brush to loosen window track dirt while sucking up the loosened dirt with a vacuum in the other hand, so clever! We have lots of humudity, so cleaning more often helps a lot, too. Not all steamers are created equal, unfortunately. I once used a steamer that cleaned a filthy oven with ease! And I've had one that performed pitifully. Not sure what you have, maybe humidity made your window tracks harder to clean? (This one of my least favorite tasks!)
Be happy to pay a little more for the wire cabinet racks. I got the ones from DT and they are weak and sage from any weight. Nothing stays on the step like one, everything slides off. I'm getting the ones from Lowe's! Thanks!
That’s disappointing to hear!! The ones from Lowe’s are great quality though and the price wasn’t bad at all!
I have issues with storage and have to put my trays/bakeing roasting in my under sink cabenet do u have ideas for making it look better and not look as cluttered
I miss the Dollar Spot, it was an actual dollar spot for yeeears and now its generally 3 and up.
Agreed!!!
Have to say I wasn't a fan when DT added there $3&5 aisle until I found 2 matching Mohawk bathroom rugs which I would have had to pay $40-60 on sale where I normally would buy them.On soc security and supporting 3 others don't allow for those replacements, since backing of the ones I had for 10 yrs was falling apart.Also since I shrunk 4 inches in the past 20 yrs and have disabilities I can no longer reach things on 2 or 3rd shelf or be on step ladders and suggestions regarding cleaning with a solution other than a swifter, or ceiling fans???
What about the small wooden bins as a bird feeder 13:15
If you don’t want to use hot glue in your baskets and wire rack, perhaps you could use some zip ties.
Hey there! Quick question for you: how do you stay motivated to keep posting and making videos? Especially when technology gets crappy. Lol
Qtips + window tracks for better results?
Putting brown sugar in the microwave will soften it up.
Measuring cups should never take up unnecessary space than needed to be, instead you can group and pair all the measuring cups together onto a key ring. Then use a command hook to put on the wall to hang all the measuring cups together.
I'd rather not have all the other spoons hanging from the one I'm using. And I'm definitely not taking them apart and putting them back together all the time.
Please consider donating a portion of the toys you decluttered to places like homeless shelters, children's hospitals, community centers, etc, Very likely they will not be missed and will make a huge difference to some less fortunate children. Doubtless, your younger son will amass his own wealth of preferred toys with gifts for holidays, birthdays, etc.
We always always donate what we don’t need anymore!
Take it outside bang it out or look with flash light and wear thick gloves in case spider.
Nothing like bleach to clean the window sil!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😅
¡No puedo creer cuánto desperdicio de alimentos! ¿Por qué será que esto es muy común en Estados Unidos?
@aliciabaraja... not necessarily. It depends on the individual, how careful they are about expiration dates, how careful they are about using things in a timely way. Whether or not they clean out their refrigerator regularly and use their leftovers properly. I think you are going to see more of it in these organization videos, you are more likely to find minimalists doing these videos also - And they love to throw things away.
Fortunately, we have a company called Upward Foundation which comes to your house and picks up donations.
Lots of time and energy and effort was put into this, but everything is cheaply, made and wobbly. Things can be knocked down easily. I’m making a mess. I would use better materials.
I liked your under sink storage better before your makeover.
🎉thank you for tossing old food, most folks donate it to a food pantry and pat themselves on the back..... if I would not eat it I don't donate it
Don’t need to watch you clean the refrigerator and reload it, just show us the organization please!
Be honest, you had to pay more for the wirer racks at Lowes cause that cheap stuff at Dollar Tree is not quality stuff.Just cause the products at Dollar Tree is a dollar doesn't mean it is quality items.
No my dollar tree just really does not carry them! I would’ve 100% used those if I were able to.
Some of dolar tree's stuff does last. And anything can break. It doesn't matter where it comes from.
I agree some of dollar tree stuff is crap but there are some things that are really nice
I live n a travel trailer. Ur idea don't work.
@retagorman... - I enjoy watching videos of people who live in trailers or minivans, and how they organize things. Obviously, it takes a completely different approach from organizing a house! I think it would work for me because I am super minimal about make up and personal care and cleaning products, and I am embarking on a super simplified eating plan for this month so I can catch up on paperwork and hopefully feel better as well. It would be totally doable in a travel trailer or even a minivan! Maybe you could do a video on how you organize things, people love a good before and after!
You said you did not know Dollar tree had craft supplies like would, but then when you made the thing out of the little baskets and wood, you said you'd seen it before. Maybe you ought to edit out the lies.
This has organic kale, spinach n broccoli l believe ( looking unsure) u have it in ur hand don't guess read what's in it SERIOUSLY 🤦♀️
I hope your day gets better!
@@CatherineElaine having a wonderful day thank u
Sorry, but you haven’t seen a small kitchen.
I’ve watched you in the past but today I had you tube on and was just listening to you! Sorry girl but you sounded like you were better than everybody else when you said I know not everybody can afford Amazon or the Container store! Your tone was condescending to me! This is just my opinion but you did it many times!! Honestly weather I can afford the container store or not I think is being financially irresponsible when you can get the same somewhere else! And believe me you are far behind others with your “ideas”! And I’m sure your kitchen baths are back to your normal! I’m just saying watch your tone and how you are saying! Like it’s going to break etc…. And you just said it again “ I dint go to the dollar tree very often!” Just saying!!! Not meaning to sound like a hater but girl just go back to yourself! And the rest if us will spend our extra cash that we didn’t give the container store on something we want!😊
I think you’re reading into everything I say waaaayyy too deep haha I def don’t think I’m better than anyone. You can’t say anything right on the internet because there will always be someone out there twisting words and putting words into your mouth 😖 I think maybe just take things at face value instead of searching for reasons not to like someone you don’t even know
@user-mi9is4... - it takes all kinds I guess. As someone who at one time was so limited in my budget that I literally had to wash my one good outfit for work every day, I appreciate the video that shows affordable options along with a heads up that I didn’t need to spend any gas or time exploring the Container Store. I guess it takes all kinds. We bring our life experiences to every situation in our lives. there are situations that trigger me a bit as well. This just don’t happen to be one of them. This seems like a straightforward and practical video about how she organizes things at her house, And where they can be found, with a general idea of price point.
Cheap is cheap sorry.
Ok.
Don't record throwing out the food if u can't take the comments......u youtubers annoy me
oh pls comment so l get the interaction but don't say anything l don't like.....dont do it if u cant handle it SIMPLE!
Or maybe people can just be kind decent humans and not internet bully others and then try to justify it with comments like this 🤣it’s never ok to leave hate even if someone puts themselves out there on the internet. It doesn’t mean they’re “asking for it”.
