The fact that you have a night shirt that says "people suck" and that you are willing to share that, and the story about your son and the bus....you are "real people" so, i am definitely a fan!
I just love these real mom moments. My third is the same way as Milo. She gets an idea in her head of what she wants and won't let it go. It is so hard sometimes. Thanks for being real.
The story of Milo sounds like something my 3 1/2 year old daughter would do. She is constantly challenging me. Sending you lots of love and patience so we can both get through this phase together.
My oldest son was just like that! I have so many stories. He's 17 now and pretty sweet.
Loved your tips. Especially the picture hanging. Pictures hung too high are my pet peeve!
You couldn't have hit the nail more on the head when you mentioned "serendipitous" occurrences. I say this in my head all the time. In fact it literally just happened to me as I cleaning up I found an exact size box that I needed only a few seconds before. Happens all the time. Thank you for your service.
"Making the most with what you have."
my food for thought for the day 😊
Thank you for that story of your son I needed that giggle to remind me of the things my children use to do to me you will remember that moment for the rest of your life Bless you and your family. You are such an amazing mom and wife thank you for sharing your life with all of us
I feel for ya. I raised 2 ADHD boys, with my hubby on deployment in the military most of the time. There were times I wondered if they'd kill me or each other first. Believe it or not, I miss them being little, and would do it all again...bad days too! And don't worry about your appearance running after your kid. When I see that, I KNOW that child is loved and cared for! You really inspire and motivate me. Now, thanks to your decorating tips I know what I've been doing wrong...everything! Haha Thanks and God bless you!
Love the little parakeet background noises...I have one, too, and enjoy them so much. I have been a licensed bird rehabber and love the creatures. Thanks for introducing us to your sweetie.
Your rants are soooo appreciated. Sorry for the crazy morning but nice to know we all have moments like that!!
I love how u do a split screen to show b4 and after. No other decorating sitec does that. It is very helpful.
The "people suck" shirt part was the part that got me. 😂😂😂 I love your stories!
Jenn F me too! I laughed so loud I scared my daughter lol 😬
Same here! That had me dying laughing lol
This is where I really started laughing too lolol I could only imagine .. she cracks me up
Me, too! Cracked me up! She is so real!
For real! I think it's the way she said it 😂😂
Thrifting is next to Godliness! I've found some amazing decor treasures at thrift stores! It's also tons of fun to grab a group of friends and "Go Thrifting." My Mom got me into it before she passed away, but I still love to go and see what can be found! Thanks for all the awesome tips!
OMG! I realize this comment is over 3 years old but you just made my day! I had TWINS like that-a boy & a girl they were a handful-except they would run in opposite directions 🤦🏻♀️.They’re 18 now & (supposed to be, we’ll see) going off to college in a few weeks but it seems like yesterday when I was secretly trying to take a quick bathroom break when I heard the front door open & I looked out of the window from the “throne” to see them 1) peeing off the front porch. I started knocking on the window & they just laughed at me & kept peeing. No pants. Neither one of them.
OR another day 2) take off running up the driveway in only their diapers. 🤷🏻♀️ I yanked up the window & yelled, HEY YOU TWO GET BACK HERE! as they laughed hysterically. I mean, what else could I do? I was kinda stuck! 😂🤣
We all lived so I guess that’s all that matters. They’re now both the most calm, chill kids you’ll ever meet. Completely different than by they were when they were little!
Anyway-I love your videos. You make me want to get organized & you make me laugh. Thanks for being so real!
Keep sharing your stories because I could visualize every moment😊 I bet you are an amazing mom too.
Oh Wow!! People Suck on it!! Love it!! I always watch your videos to the end! So glad I remembered this time!! God Bless you and your family.
I totally feel you on this story. My second born was a runner. He started doing it when he was three and man he was fast! It ended sometime before he was five. He survived, I barely survived. We would be going along and all of the sudden he would just bolt for no reason. And it wasn’t often, like every couple of months. I would think he was done doing it and then he would do it for like a week and stop. When he got older he played soccer, sure wish he ran as fast on the field, lol. Now he going to graduate college this year. How the time flies but the trauma your kids put you through never goes away, hahaha!
my daughter use to run away at the store, church, Ikea and at the ZOO! one time i hid behind a post for 5 min and watched her panic, stop and look every which way for me. People glared at me for being such a terrible mom when I walked up to pick up and carry my sobbing daughter. she never ran off again though.
Moral of the story ? Sometimes you find yourself doing the nuttiest thing when your're a parent!
Sandra Organization Seeking omg i can so related to that. My son when he was 6 made me a tantrum at Walmart because he wanted a computer game that had spiderman on the front. Back in that day he didn't even know how to use a computer. But he started crying and screaming and kicking and I was like you know if you don't stop Im going home without you and he dared to said "no, you won't". I left everything, started walking to my car, he started running behind me by then. Got in my car, turned in on. Closed the door while he was outside yelling at me for forgiveness and saying he won't do it again. People looking at me like crazy, they really thought I was leaving him there in front of all of them. Put the car on parking again and I finally let him in. Never like never in his life he did something like that again.
My mom told me she did that to me when I was little, she hid behind a column at the mall and I freaked (I was only 3 or 4), but I never hid from her again.
I do this to my dog hahahaha
I think that’s amazing parenting. You didn’t yell, you weren’t passive, you taught her the lesson she needs to learn. If she runs away and loses you, it won’t be fun.
My 5 year old wont wear seatbelt.Every time I had to park my car somewhere and get out of the car to put her back on the car seat and put her seat belt on.she would snap it open and out she goes.I used to scare her that police will fine me and they will take you for not wearing your seat belt.She use to say"ok fine let them take me away police helps us not take kids away”
Anyways once I was coming out of walmart and there were 2 police cars parked right in front of the store and officers were standing outside and chatting with each other.I took my daughter with me and walked to them and asked them how they were and I said "this is my daughter and she doesn’t wear her seatbelt and she doesn’t care if we will get in trouble for that”My daughter started crying and the officers played along and said yes she wont do that again because its not safe and she will be in trouble if not wear seatbelt and sit in her carseat.
From that day onwards No complains regarding this issue.
My daily laugh! Loved the people suck part hysterical. We have all been there as moms and we all have that one child that gives us a hard time...you will look back and have great stories to tell.
Love the son story! I've been there. Next time try bargaining -"Milo let's get on the bus today and we make a special driving day tomorrow (or whenever) because then we can have a bagel (or whatever, or listen to your favorite music) on the way to school."
I love yellow and turquoise together!! My living room has pops of turquoise and I just did a thrifted spring haul with yellow accents. Thanks for sharing!
Watching at 2:45 am from Florida. Absolutely laughing out loud 😂 Pretty much cracking up enough to wake the hubby lol. Oh the joys of motherhood! Thanks for sharing, at least we're all in this together right? Love ya girl! ❤️️
I admire you for being able to tell that story and laugh about it! I wish I could deal with stressful things like that.
oh my gosh bless u. I have a "spirited" daughter and she gives me a run for my money as too does my 3yr old son lol kids can be the hardest job going !!!
on another note wanted to tell u cass iv finally started to get control of my house and it's your tips that have helped and inspired me iv ordered your book uber excited xxx
😂😂😂😂 So nice to know I’m not the only one KILLING the parenting thing! Thanks for sharing!!
You crack me up. I like you just the way you are...even how you fake being extra cheerful cuz it cracks me up and cheers me up. Fake usually grates on my nerves but it's like you genuinely want to be cheerful so you just buck up and force it. I find it kind of adorable.
Keep that nightdress and boots for when your kids are pre/teens. If they won't get on the bus, they soon will if mum threatens to go out in the yard wearing them! 😉 I've been there ❤️🇦🇺
Lol!!!
Oh this made me crack.😂
Lunar Bloom I had the cops come to my door in the middle of the night more times than I want to admit for my “milo”- so I slept with clothes on for the teenage/college years🙄
THANK YOU!!! One of my greatest pet peeves is artwork that's improperly hung - too high, pieces too close, etc. I'm so glad you mentioned it!
LOL LOL LOL LOL I wish I was your neighbor!!! You are a riot. I love all the tips in this video, some I never thought of. I didn't realize there was a height area for wall decor. I learn something new daily, so my recap for todays lessons are:
A: Wall decor at eye level
B: Grouping instead of randomness
and last but not least and my personal fav
C: ALWAYS WEAR PANTS!!
I love that you are real! You are not 'facebook', you share real advice and real life. I too am raising a 'Milo', mine is now 18 and head of the debate team...talk about challenging and amazing all in one:) Hugs!!!
Thank you for sharing stories like that, it makes the rest of us feel normal, lol. Who hasnt had thier kids pull a brat move from time to time? As a mother of four boys, I could tell a thousand stories about all the stuff my boys got up to, they sure do keep you on your toes!
I will never understand why people hang the frames so high ! I have actually seen people hang a picture near the ceiling ! It's crazy ! I love decorating my home, and changing it up. I agree with your 5 suggestions. Kathrine is one of my all time faves :)
oh my word!!! completely hysterical story, plenty of similar stories...flooded with memories now! love it! thanks for sharing! truly adoring all of your tips, tricks and ideas...look forward to getting through more.
Thanks for sharing your story! It made me laugh! I have four awesome kids -ages 5 (twins), 3 and 17 months. Some days are a struggle -you never know what they’ll do or say but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. 😁
Just felt like My friend chatting with me..can feel how it feels to have all that happen with kids in the morning...really excited to see the colab..melissa and chatherine are my favourite too but not as favourite as you..love you😘
I love those decorating tips, but my favorite parts of your videos are the rants. They always make me smile .
I love your rants at the end of the videos. You make me giggle! Can't wait to see the collaboration with Do it on a Dime and Melissa.
You are the funniest!!!! I crack up each time I watch your videos. Thank you for the laughs ;)
I love the advice on decorating too!
I think I’ve figured out why I watch. I search for help for my home craziness whether decorating or decluttering and i keep coming back because of your awesome personality!
Keep being you!
Making the most of what you have, love that.
Lol my oldest son is just like that. I felt like I was probably the world's worst mom until I had my second son and he is just good as gold. People who don't have a kid like that are quick to judge, and I always secretly hope they have a stubborn, wild child to knock them down a peg or two. Don't worry though, kids like that are the ones who grow up to be leaders and make a difference in the world. :) :)
We had loads of people (family and friends) giving us the judgey look...like we weren't doing a good enough job parenting. That's until they had a strong willed child. Is it bad that I didn't feel sorry for them???
Kim Mc this reply’s a bit late but ..... nope x
doitonadime,clean my space, and you getting together for a video is freaking awesome. i have been waiting for this my entire life!!!! well, maybe no my whole life but i have always hoped for this moment to come since you three are the ones i watch for cleaning and organization tips. so excited
Oh my gosh I'm excited for tomorrow 3 of my favorite channels!
I'm excited too!!!!
I'm guilty of the beige/taupe effect in certain areas of my home. I'm slowly trying to add more "pops" of color. It can be hard to find the balance between bland & overboard.
I felt for you when you shared your story as I had a similar situation happen to me this fall. This November when I was about 4 months pregnant my kindergartener refused to be put on the bus. I had to carry all 40 lbs of him up the steps and to his seat while he was screaming bloody murder while the bus driver tried to calm him down. I thankfully was able to run off the bus & he ended up going to school & was fine. I'll never forget that moment of desperation & being out of breath! Your nightgown was the cherry on top of your morning! :)
Gawd, I'm tired of hearing about 'pops' of color. It's like 'bling'; so overdone.
You are as awesome as Kathryn and Melissa! I love watching your channel!
I loved the story about your son, brought back memories of my struggles with my two sons. Oh the drama! By the grace of God I survived and now take care of my grandson who is just like his daddy. Needless to say I am one ragged grandma at the end of the day. ;-)
I am 5'2, my husband is 6'3. We always disagree where to hang art and photos! Love your Milo story, we've all been there!
Okay, I usually chuckle watching your videos but today a full on LOL happened. You're the absolute BEST!
Oh my gosh!!! I hadn't listened to the end! You have my prayers!!!
I hung a new pic the other day, it was pretty large and hung it over a loveseat in my bedroom. The next day I realized it was hung too close to the ceiling and took it down and adjusted the placement. Sometimes it pays to stand back and check the placement. Great tips!
I was laughing so hard at your Milo story! I too had a Milo of my own. He was so stubborn sometimes and knew exactly how to get his way! So frustrating 😤 Luckily he has grown into a kind and responsible young man of 22 and doesn't remember any of his antics of his childhood.
So informative! I feel so lost when I start decorating my house! 😬 I need all the help I can get! 😄
I love your personality and your ideas. I agree with having some color with throw pillows .Those all neutral colored rooms are boring without "some colors". Thanks .
Tip #1 is my pet peeve: I hate it when artwork is hung too high, and I see this done everywhere!! Thanks for sharing the tips and for sharing your cute personality!
You are such a lovely person. Your stories are always so funny... You're videos are my stress buster, seriously.
My dad told me about the hanging pictures at eye level thing. He is not into interior decorating at all, but is very logical: you want pictures where people can see them!
My mom was the same way! My older brother and I were great kids and she thought she was a great parent. And then my little brother came along... (My mom was a great parent. My little brother was just more spirited than my older brother and I.)
I LOVED your story at the end because my two children have similar temperaments and I've been embarassed more times than I can count trying to keep them in line whilst in public. From one mother to another, I get it. I REALLY do!
Little boys they are just so cute, they are made of special things 🤔 mine has grown up now, my we had happenings when he was little, you'll look back Cass and laugh, you will laugh so much it'll bring tears to your eyes enjoyed the vlog, god you make me giggle xxx
:) I do think he is adorable...probably why I let him get away with way too much. They grow so fast, I get less and less strict with each child!
ClutterBug The trouble is Cass it goes way too fast, my sons expecting his first baby in April, just enjoy them while little, your little Milo is gorgeous xxx and you are a wonderfull mother x
Omgosh this was funny at 5am & now that I'm re-watching your video 15+ hours later, it's still funny! You are such a crack up 😂😂😂. By the way I can totally relate, my youngest was very similar in spirit. Hugs from Oz, 🐨C
Can't wait for tomorrow! Y'all are my favorites. Best collaboration day ever!!!
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Everyone on the bus was laughing 😂 how you flipped!!
Hope you like my bus story.
Happy Mother's Day!!! I say we celebrate every day!
🦋🌸💐🌺🌻🌼🌸☀️🌷🌸🌺
Thank you!
Omg... I love your channel! So many channels I'm not understanding what they are saying. We click! Thank you so much.
That's too funny. Live and learn. From experience I know you didn't think it was funny at the moment. But it's great to laugh about it now. Your neighbors got a good show!! I love you
I could literally listen to you chat for hours!
I also love the happy bird sounds
He was getting a little out of control! I need to cover his cage when I make my next video!
You're such a burst of happy energy. Thanks for doing this...
hahaha!! I was my mom's Milo! 😉 I was totally like that as a kid! especially when it came to school. I can't wait to see your collab! I love all you ladies so I'm sure the collab will be awesome! ❤️ can't wait!
Love Meg
Love u meg and ur Chanel
I love her channel to!
Love Meg I love you too i wish you were on Facebook as well
Love Meg he
Oh, I posted before hearing about the colab! You girls are maybe the main reason my house is more organized than ever! Looking forward!!
Love your crazy mom stories! My trying child is my daughter. I keep telling myself her stubborn ways can be developed into positive attributes, but right now my hair is graying SUPER fast!
Haha thank you for sharing! My 2nd child is definitely my "spirited" one also. Cracked me up what you said about when people used to compliment you on your well-behaved children and you'd be like "yea that's me, parenting 101" ha! Totally the same here and now I'm questioning my whole parenting style
Your so good at what you do.... Sounds like your a great mom too.. Love the bus story !
My mother has a room that is grey yellow and black 😍 it's amazing. Awesome video xx
Love your channel! Wish I'd found it earlier, with a 3 and 5 year old and two story big house and liking a really clean house: your tips help me have structure and not feel so overwhelmed. Thank you!!! 🌸🌸🌸
love your family clock idea. will remember that for when we get our bigger house!
YAY...my three favorite cleaning motivators in one day, I'm looking forward to that! (be interesting to see if I get more done tomorrow!) In this video I really love your idea of changing things up to redecorate, as much as I'd LOVE to do some serious changing in my home, it's out of reach and having a different look in a room always makes me feel better...I also like your idea of clustering collections-definitely gonna try that one!
Great tips. I'm following your 3-5-7, but never thought about grouping them and spreading out. My house is small and I don't have a lot of space to place things on. This helps and looks better. TFS.
Can't wait for the collaboration!! You three are the BEST! You were the ones I first subscribed to and I watch all your videos almost as soon as I get that notification! So glad to hear that you respect each other so much!
Lol love your end of the video stories! I feel like I always need to be prepared for a trip to the ER - with kids you never know.
Love your stories! They make parenting seem normal. I have been there with my kids. SO excited for your collaboration!!
I love her story sounds like my life every week! I hear ya girl!
Your happy spirit makes my happy spirit happy 😆
You made me laugh out loud over you sun. Bless your heart you deserve your own bottle of wine tonight.😂
That's a great story! Milo sounds like a really spirited kid.
OMG! All Of my favourites are doing a collab! YAY! And Milo 🙈 my son have also ran away from his sister going to school and I had to find him and walk to school with him wearing pj's, winterjacket, barefoot in rainboots and a hat pulled over my head because my hair really needed a wash. Meeting parents and teachers 🙈🙈🙈
You are a good parent! Kids challenge us! Hang in there! 💛
Try and remember that they ask you to collab with them because they - VERY likely - feel jut as happy/excited to be working with you. Otherwise, why would they?!
I seriously love watching them too (however, you were the first person I found and you were, are now, and will stay, my favourite. That is sincere and honestly true!) but you are EQUAL to them ok. You just need to realise that! We don't keep coming back for nothing you know - you have a lot of knowledge/experience and we love the way you deliver it to us. Hold your head high because you too are great!!!
Oh my goodness I laughed so hard at your bus story, especially the people suck nightgown part :) But I felt for you as well...I hope that day went smoother after that lol :)
Oh my gosh I have two boys and they are both headstrong lol! God bless you for sharing that’s hilarious and makes us other moms feel normal 😂😂😂
Your stories are just too good!! One of the many reasons I love your channel!
I wonder if something happened on the Bus or at school that upset him .
Laura Sanderson thats what I was thinking.
I used to be bullied on the bus...and beg my mom for a ride to school. I never told her why until I was older, I don't know why.
Yes, my guess is a bully or bullies are on the bus. Most kids are too embarrassed to admit to being bullied.
yeah that occurred to me too
Agree With ALL Of Your Decorating Tip's !! 👍
You are such a lovely happy person. Love your video.
This story was EVERYTHING! hahaha! You should do a once a week or so storytime video!
Oh my goodness! I'm feeling u on your son story! My son was a handful at that age too and man- ! So many stories I have. He locked my mother n law out of the house one day but at least I had pants on! 😄 👖 hugs!! Thank u for sharing ur story ;) Great deco tips btw ;) Kathryn sent me :)
I understand! My first 2 (girls) were awesome listeners, my third (girl) was a bit of a boundaries pusher at home but in public was great plus the girls were gifted and mature. So I always had the best compliments and people asking for advice. Then I had my son... my son was also gifted but ADHD and life got really interesting. Sometimes they are too smart for their own good! I started getting comments like "oh I wish I had his energy" along with the smile that says they feel bad for me lol Now my older 2 are in college and the younger 2 in high school and it's hard to believe it went so fast!
I'm wild about your theme song. It's awesome! So many TH-cam channels have songs that sound the same, but yours stands out. I get such delight out of your videos. You're smart, real, funny, and talented. I'm pleased to have found you! :)
So excited for your collab!!! I love Kathryn & Melissa too :) OMG your stories kill me!! You handle them so well it amazes me! Thanks for sharing, cringing & laughing at the same time.
Great philosophy! Making the most with what we have.
Great ideas !!! You're so funny girl. What a trip with your son. I so hope things get better. Mine was the same way. Stubborn, and getting us into power struggles I didn't want. Boy !!! Smile and kick butt ❤️🤗
I needed a good laugh and then also comfort knowing I'm not the only mom who struggles with one of her children😂 the things they do to us.... Lol
OMG i am so glad i found ur channel , you are sooo cute and funny and i know a bunch of us here can relate to you so much , TY for being so natural and awesome !
Wonderful video ~ Thank you for sharing your ideas! I agree that yellow and gray go great together! Blessings.
OMG. That is so my two boys. I think that’s the funniest story I’ve heard in a long time! Thank you for making me think it’s not just my kids… LOL
