Catherine, when my sons were little (they're now 24 & 20!), I used plastic bins to organize too, but I used packing tape to attach generalized diecuts of what toys were in the bin. A dinosaur for dinosaurs and a car for their Matchbox & other assorted vehicles, a tank for G.I. Joe's, etc. Of course there were other toys that didn't have a diecut, but it did help them figure out which toy to put in the bin when picking up!
I know this is late, and someone else has probably already addressed this, but the command strips technically need like 24 hours to adhere/cure onto the surface before you add anything heavy. Just hang the basket and let it sit empty for a day before putting the veggies in. Hope this helps!
Our bar top area is our catch all. It's the closest surface to our front door so it's constantly having to be cleared. And laundry is actually my favorite chore!
When my son was younger I bought a scrap booking shelf and clear scrap booking storage cases at Michaels to store all of his small toys and trinkets. There are 7 shelves and each storages case had its own toy organization theme (hot wheels, paw patrol, dinosaurs, etc.) it helped him know where everything belonged and where he could find it. He’s 10, and we still use them!
Yes to the linen closet organizing video! Those are such challenging spaces to keep up with. It’s such a catch all of different types of products and sized bottles.
For toy storage Ikea do these big buckets and shelves, you get kids of fun colours and they slide in and out. He can bring the buckets out and then it’s a case of chucking it all back in and away at the end of the day! They look fun in play rooms xxx
Yes please I love watching decluttering and organizing videos I love seeing the before and after results it's so satisfying to see everything clean and organized again 😁
Great mix of videos ! I see four out fit changes , am pjs , blue shorts, grey shorts and pm pjs. My sons are worse than my daughter on the outfit changes . I have the ecloth wall duster and mop and LOVE them. ❤️
Enjoyed your video - I personally don’t like stuff under furniture but if it works for you then great. You are a wonderful Mum & Happy birthday to your sweet little boy - would love to see a declutter
I love your longer videos. Sooo much motivation today. I feel the same way, if you don’t at least pick up everyday it easily gets away from you. I feel like Carson is growing up in front of our eyes. I loved his little thank you on Instagram. I think I spied 4 different outfits. Gotta love the laundry!!! Glad he is feeling better.
This was a great video. My cat even hopped up to watch your cat. I saw 4 diffferent pant/shorts changes. Be happy it was only 4. My girls would change every hour lol
Mount the baskets with screw to a small plank of wood or a dollar tree wood cutting board. You can lean it against the wall with the command strips to just help keep it up but not hold the weight.
You should look into toy rotation. Basically you just have a couple bins of toys out and the rest stored away somewhere and every couple of months you route them. They actually end up playing with their toys more because it’s easier for them to find what they are looking for and it’s a lot easier to clean up since there arnt as many out. Cube storages are amazing or bookshelves.
This might sound soo weird but I actually find watching someone fold and put away their laundry the most satisfying part of a cleaning video. Especially when it's about 4 or five loads. Love you and your gorgeous little boy Carson. You inspire me soo much. Love how you decorated your bedroom xx
I really like your videos. I found your kitchen video and I watched back all your vids (almost). Your new apartment is soo lovely, I wish you good luck on your new journey. And happy B-DaY to Carson. 🦕🦖🤩
Carson changed 4 times! So cute! Good luck to everyone! I love your channel Catherine, I hope Carson has been doing better in his car seat awakening! Xoxoxo!
Catherine Elaine same girl, I took my sons pacifier away and ever since then he will head butt me at night 3/4 times cus he’s pissed😭😭😭 ugh what a way to wake up lmao!
Cathrine For your produce hanging basket. Try the 3m Velcro that are like the command hooks They are made for hanging pictures on the wall and each one holds up to 15 lbs!
Just a thought on toys. Get a storage bin cart with draws if wanna get crafty make picture labels laminate them on each draw so he help put away. Clear shoe rack hangs on door makes great bathroom storage. Great video ty for talking and not alot music 🙃
Suggestions for the vegetable basket ° You can try sticking the basket and leaving it for an hour or more without filling the basket. This gives time for the glue to stick strongly. ° you may try strips with stronger glue. The video was amazing, by the way! You're truly an inspiration, with how you manage everything! ❤
For your command strips, wipe the surface first with something non oily or polish, so like a grease removal kitchen spray. Put it back up as was push and hold for a good 30 seconds and then don’t put anything on it for 24 hours and it should work xxx
I strongly recommend that you will take a look at the konmary method of folding laundry. It’s very easy and makes dealing with this mission with much less resentment
I'm a single mom and I don't have time to fold. The easiest method for me....I never have time really...is just wash and dry and put tops on one drawer, bottoms on another and socks and undies in another. The other option I use is just hanging up Everything. It makes if easy for both of my son and I what he has available especially in those rushed school mornings. Blessings
Four!, I have girls so we would go thru LOTS of clothes when they were little. Love watching your channel! I think heavier weighted command strips would work on the veggie holder. I love that idea! We also had a toy shelf with buckets for our kids in the living room!
I recommend tidying your apartment as you go through the day but when Carson goes to bed at night always clean or tidy up .This way you wake to a tidy house and feel fresh and motivated the next day.I know sometimes its the last thing you feel like doing but push yourself and soon it will become a habit, then you won't have big messes to clean that become over whelming.Maybe start to say to Carson to swap like the dinosaur box for the train box etc.This way one is tidied up before the next one is out.I am not critisizing you.I was single with 2 kids due to divorce so I feel your frustration.From your new Australian freind .
Love the motivation you gave me to clean my house!! My girls are grown but I have grandkids over a lot and a messy (but adorable) hubby so my house gets messy! I say your cute as a button little boy changed clothes like 4 times! 🤣
My catch all is my bed. I saw Carson changed into at least 4 times in shorts. I've been following and watching your videos since you moved into your apartment. Hes so cute
Cat in the box lol love it. I’m looking forward to that closet organization too. I noticed 4 changes of shorts. I tried looking for your instagram a while ago finally I found it today TFS
If you put a scratching post up against that arm of the couch, he’ll be more likely to scratch the post instead of the couch! I did it with my cat next to my bed and my couch and it worked!
I saw 4 different outfits! So funny 🤣 Also I love doing laundry and hate doing dishes, I think people always have one they love and one they hate. Thanks for the motivation!
Hi, Catherine, as usual... I loved your video, so if I am right ... it were two pijama bottoms and two shorts.... happy birthday to your sweet little boy. greetings.
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "declutter my apartment" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
I think he changed his pants four times 🤣 My 4 year old does the same thing. Endless laundry. My dining room table is definitely our catch all space in our house. I feel like it’s never NOT cluttered!
What you described it pretty much how I do dishes 🤷♀️. Always have, both my grandma’s did, my mom does. Doesn’t seem gross at all. I fill the basin with hot water and dish soap, let the dishes soak a bit, scrub with a dish cloth, rinse with hot water, and air dry in the second basin. No dishwasher, so that isn’t an option. It’s like taking a bath, and then rinsing off in a shower 😂
I have a dishwasher and I still prefer to handwash..I just dread the loading and unloading...I rather wash as I go and put them away...Unless I'm tired or don't feel like washing or piled up I'll use it.
Its so cute your son was helping you make the bed. Btw I want that cat! Its so cute! Every time I watch your videos I get excited to see the cat and the lil man! I just bought two of those dinner table seat boosters for my toddlers.
Love watching your channel!! I think I saw 3 to 4 outfit changes! If my seven year old could wear pajamas every wear she goes, she would be a happy girl!!
From what I counted, I think it was 4 outfit changes haha!! Our collect all is our bar area on the counter. It’s super annoying. My husband is the worst when it comes to just leaving stuff there.
I love how your cat liked that you pouffed his spot on the couch for him. Mine are the same way! Also, question - what do you spray in your washing machine?
Aw he changes 4 outfits 😍 love your videos so inspiring I also rent apartments and watching your videos I have better ways to do renter friendly thanks to your videos
I counted 4 but when you’re by the kitchen he may have been wearing two different shorts-lighting might have been different. Also, for those hooks (I never follow this because I hate waiting, but) I heard if you stick them and hold them down tight for 30 seconds and leave them in that position with no weight for 24 hours they’ll hold. Might be worth a try since that rack is so cute!
Hi Catherine, got tons of motivation! I actually cleaned my house really good yesterday! Let’s give that cute cat and little Carson and shout out my sons and Carson will make good friends! 💝💝💝
A side note about your diffuser if you weren't aware, please make sure that whatever oil you're diffusing is safe for your kitty, otherwise you could potentially be slowly poisoning them!
Yes this is super important! Also to add on to this stay cautious of brands like YL and doTerra as they are MLMs and take advantage of struggling people.
Idea for his toys, try getting a 9 cube organizer, i think all of his toys in the living room will all fit in it. I am a subscriber and i do follow you on instagram since you moved in your new apartment !!belated happy birthday carson! I seen about 4 change of pants/outfit! Usually our catch all is our kitchen table!
You do inspire me! Thank you for these videos. What is your philosophy of Carson’s development with regard to cleaning and organizing? I think it would be great for him but would like to hear you speak a word or two about it. It’d also be great to see you playing with him and even making a mess! Just some thoughts. Keep up the inspiring work. Susan.
By brother gifted me a dishwasher but I haven't installed it yet. It stands right next to my apartment door and so on top of it there is my catch all space.
Girl, after watching you doing all this in one day - ugh I am tired! LOL Loved the idea of the cat scratcher tape! Thank you for sharing it! My cat loves the base of my bed and this will help a lot and the little "house" where you have the litter box, genious! I really did not know they existed it! I do follow you in instagram under the same name, chiquisj and little man changed 4 times during this video lol
My space where everything gets put is on and underneath my breakfast bar! Drives me mad! I think he changed 4 times! I need to buy some magnet tiles they look great for kids.

Me watching other people clean their homes and hopefully somehow my home magically gets cleaner 🙏🏽😁
Jessica Jean Little l hear you so satisfying to watch lol
Our bar top area is our catch all. It's the closest surface to our front door so it's constantly having to be cleared. And laundry is actually my favorite chore!
I really wish it was my favorite chore!!
How cute is your sun , love him ✨🌸love the way he wants to help you , sooooo adorable 🥰

Arthur, is just the sweetest love bug. I loved him claiming the window tray. Cats & boxes, the eternal love affair. 😹💜
He also got into the laundry basket. He's a cutie.
Yes to the linen closet organizing video! Those are such challenging spaces to keep up with. It’s such a catch all of different types of products and sized bottles.
Also, I love your kitty! He’s so cute in all of your videos. He made that couch corner his own.
For toy storage Ikea do these big buckets and shelves, you get kids of fun colours and they slide in and out. He can bring the buckets out and then it’s a case of chucking it all back in and away at the end of the day! They look fun in play rooms xxx
Uses TV console for sons trucks and toys.....same here 🙋🏻♀️😂👏🏼
Yes please I love watching decluttering and organizing videos I love seeing the before and after results it's so satisfying to see everything clean and organized again 😁
I love watching people fold laundry!!
Great mix of videos ! I see four out fit changes , am pjs , blue shorts, grey shorts and pm pjs. My sons are worse than my daughter on the outfit changes . I have the ecloth wall duster and mop and LOVE them. ❤️
3 or 4 changes! He is so beyond precious!!
Enjoyed your video - I personally don’t like stuff under furniture but if it works for you then great. You are a wonderful Mum & Happy birthday to your sweet little boy - would love to see a declutter
You are a amazing mother you inspire me to be like you when I grow up💖hope you stay safe and healthy🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
I would love to watch you declutter some more spaces. Laundry and bathroom and any storages spaces would be awesome ☺
Catherine..thanks for motivation ,watching your videos I cleaned my closet and my kitchen this weekend and it feels so relieving..
Yay!!! Thank you for watching!
I love your longer videos. Sooo much motivation today. I feel the same way, if you don’t at least pick up everyday it easily gets away from you. I feel like Carson is growing up in front of our eyes.

I am also a newly single mom of 4 kiddos and I love watching your videos.
This was a great video. My cat even hopped up to watch your cat. I saw 4 diffferent pant/shorts changes. Be happy it was only 4. My girls would change every hour lol
Happy Birthday Carson:) Looks like he changed 4 bottoms(so cute:)) Thanks:)
Mount the baskets with screw to a small plank of wood or a dollar tree wood cutting board. You can lean it against the wall with the command strips to just help keep it up but not hold the weight.
I'm all for a closet organizing video!!!

Hahaha 😂 it really would!
Catherine Elaine same girl, I took my sons pacifier away and ever since then he will head butt me at night 3/4 times cus he’s pissed😭😭😭 ugh what a way to wake up lmao!
Folding is relaxing to watch and I am always looking at how everyone else folds different items.

Just wonderful, I've been looking for "declutter my apartment" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
So therapeutic to watch. You just motivated me to clean my dirty kitchen. 😄

Hahaha makes sense!! I feel like my mom always did it that way too.
I have a dishwasher and I still prefer to handwash..I just dread the loading and unloading...I rather wash as I go and put them away...Unless I'm tired or don't feel like washing or piled up I'll use it.
I think 4 times! I love these videos!

Awesome!! You're welcome!

I counted 4 but when you’re by the kitchen he may have been wearing two different shorts-lighting might have been different.
