- Hey party people! Thanks so much for hanging out with me while I share with you this new back to school prep where I organize several spaces in my house including my dreaded lunch containers, desk drawers / homework station, then I guess I decided to make a command center in our home - stay tuned to see how effective that is! haha I did a mini shop with me at Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, and Target where I searched for most of the items I got in today's vlog - and I also share my favorite lunch containers I have grown to love over the years including some I got from Amazon! Thanks so much for hanging out with me today!!
Best,
Kim!

Laughing at Alex showing his head at the beginning 😂😂 love your channel KIM 💞
I loved that too, he's such a character!
He’s something!!
He was cracking me up 😂🤣
Omg...that pic of Avalina in the pink dress...she was a DOLL! Just beautiful. 🧜🏻♀️
Kim I watched a documentary about Costco, Ikea and Trader Joe’s the other day and you were in the thumbnail! I was so excited to see ya girl😂❤️
I saw it too! That’s why I clicked on it and watched it. Very cool.
U saw it too!!
That’s awesome!
Haha yes very click baity of them! Scoundrels…
Me too! 🥰👌🏽😘
The joy I feel everytime you wear your glasses is awesome. Thank you!
You’ll probably move before Meredith goes to school and your storage needs will change. The 3 organizers will be fine!! Happy Back to School!!
You’re absolutely right!! I’m really hoping we move before the end of the year… I wanted to move before summer ended buuuuut here we are 💀😂
You make me want to start my own channel. The world needs all the positive energy we have. Thank you gurlllll!!
Do it!! Agreed
Do it!!!! Don’t second guess it!!
I loved Alex in the beginning. He's funny. Aww....sweet Meredith helping you wash the wall was so sweet!! I love the gratitude journal idea. I should have my daughter do one!!
Meredith is getting so big, and she’s climbing on everything…to cute 🥰 your organization is coming along way, for those lunch boxes now there will be measuring, so measure the biggest lunch box height on and width and then find a nice basket to line them up in ( you can put them in short side or long side in the basket) and then you can visually see what you have, just get one long and wide enough so that way you won’t keep buying them unless you do the one in and one out mindset….it works in so many areas of organization. Wishing you the best organizing around your house and just remember to have fun with it so you don’t feel so stressed 😩 or frustrated. I can’t wait for future videos 😊
Most excited for the what I pack my kids for lunch.
Hahaa I’ll have to come up with some good ideas!!
Ooohh I‘ve been missing the lunch box videos last year! I’ve been watching them since Avalina was 4 and I loved that we got to know what happened in the kids‘ lives!
Lol! So cute with Alex and Avelina photo bombing! And Meredith throwing the Nicholas Cage pillow on the floor and helping clean! So cute! Love your command center! Looks great!
Fabulous! That thunder is something. Love the organizer shopping and seeing how everything fit. ♥️
I'm addicted to watching you Kim, your so funny, motivated and inspirational, please please organise your spices and seasonings lmao we love you xxx
eleanor's 3 mins gratitude journal: what was the best part about my day "seeing meredith" 🥺😍
Haha she’s a sweetheart for sure!!
I thought that was so inspiring! I’m a teacher for primary school in Germany and I feel like my students would appreciate such a gratitude journal😊 I think I will create one for them😄 Maybe I should make one for myself as well😂 I bet it’s gonna bring so many happy memories when you read that journal a few years later
YES! I want a fall shopping, eating, decorating! I'm a little too excited for the kids to go back to school!
Kim u are an amazing mum who does the best for her kids. Great choices with the organizers n the wall arrangement. Love Meredith.
I will be glad to have my 9 and 7 year old grandsons back in school! Will only have the 2 year old and 4 year old home! Great break!
Your cupboards have the most random funny things in them sometimes. I laughed so hard finding the sock there.
I love seeing Meredith's lil hands trying to help you out...the cutest thing🤩
Good day Kim and friends! Lots of good ideas in there. Thank you Kim, for just being you! 💕
That tidy lunch container draw makes me so happy looks amazing will make your life so much easier.
I love all the sneaky family waves in the background at the start. Made my day!
Haha they’re so funny
I love watching a relatable mom. Your always making me crack up and make me realize everything doesn’t have to be perfect!
So glad you can relate to the chaos!!
My weekly inspiration to get my life together. Lol thank you for the reminder!!!!!!
Haha one step at a time!!
Kim you're so real life, in most every family's life you can't even believe it, see you next time❤❤❤
LOVE ORGANISING!!! So satisfying when everything looks neat and tidy... having a massive declutter and sort out of my home and been building furniture like its going out of fashion... will be glad when it's finished!!!! Thank you for another awesome video... Stay fab Honey xx huge hugs 🤗
Just open the drawer for no reason to see it tidy 😂🎉
I am very much the same . 😀
Hello! I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate 🥰 the work you put into your videos. I super appreciate your content and your authenticity. Thank you so much.
love your haul mama friend. that painting of the girl in the field with the flower...love love!!
I understand the struggle! I looked EVERYWHERE for a big calender white board. I actually ended up making one, I bought a dry erase paper roll with calender print at dollar tree and a $3 cork board at hobby lobby. It serves its purpose and I love it!
I love your channel Kim, my husband was listening to me watch your vids and said "That lady is literally you in another universe" lol!
Great motivation Kim! Loved all the new organizer containers you used!🌺 Great music as well! 🌺
I'm not even 5 seconds in, and already elated with the intro music. Agh! It makes me so happy!
My two cents.... buying a calendar rather than a dry erase calendar saves a lot of time and energy giving you the opportunity to list future appointments beyond the month that is on the board.
We can do that on our phones too 👍 Alex and I can sync our calendars which works out for us but sometimes I need to see it in teal life lol and I think it will help our kids too 👍
@@thewadsquad I was thinking more of a pre-dated wall calendar like something you'd find at Staples.
@@carolynbendzynski1764 agree! Love paper calender more than anything else.
Against all the recommendations I have all three. Phone, paper and dry erase. They all suit three different needs.
Thank you for sharing the Gratitude Journal! I am teaching my French kids English and expressing the feels will definitely help. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Kim, I love organizing inside baskets! I notice you have a challenging spice cupboard! Lol..my best organized hack is keep them all in a basket then I can pull it out to use them, stops everything from falling out of the cupboard. Love watching your happy energy!
Love this as usual. But the BEST moment for me was watching sweet little Meredith copy you cleaning the wall then giving Nicolas a quick wipe and then kissing him. Much love xx
It’s so nice to start the day with your videos
It makes me so happy and proud to see you organizing stuff and feeling successful! More power to you lovely person!
Haha we shall see how long it stays that way!! 😂🎉
@@thewadsquad Oh my gosh you responded that's so cool!!!
I was feeling a bit in the dumps until I turned you on! Thank you for being you!!!!!❤️
I love you you are so fun to hang out with thank you for everything
I use an over the door shoe organizer for our water bottles, life changing!
Lol you crack me up, I don’t know how you do it all! Love and Blessings!!
Thanks for sharing the 3 minute gratitude book. I'm going to get them for our kids. Your lunch storage drawer looks awesome! Can't wait for the cook with me school edition vid!
Glad you showed the reality of real organizing in the kitchen. The cleanup after😳 Wondering if Meredith is going to get into that beautifully organized lunch container drawer and tear it apart!!! Child magnet, mom look at all these little containers just my play size 🧒. Anyway. Your zest for life is always what keeps me watching, Kim, the good mom ❤️
You are literally me, Kim. Going from store to store to find he one thing but getting distracted by cuter things.
My friend does a discard one item each day in August. I am doing one shelf or drawer a day. Such a good feeling.
Omgsh Alex & Avalina waving 👋🏼 😂😂😂 love it so much!
OMG I love your channel, too! So excited you watch each other! Squeee!
I’m always so happy to see you here Amanda!! 🎉🎉♥️♥️
Agreed they are ADORBS 💜💕
So true so funny!
Loving the choice of music today I needed that and the video was awesome too! You're so real about everyday life.
Yes! So happy you put them in the bottom drawer. I think it looks A-mazing!
It makes so much more sense this way!!
3 of my 4 kids graduated already and the one who's left is going to school online. So I don't pack lunches anymore but I do enjoy watching your back to school videos Mrs Whisk. Makes me miss when my babies were little. God bless and have a great day 🤗💜
Oh gosh! Almost an empty nester!! How does that feel!!
In the midst of the juggling school and work days here too! 😂 I so know I'll miss it when they just get themselves ready and grab their own lunches. 💞
For lunch containers I love the yumbox tapas (4 compartment). My son has been using the same 2 for three years and will be using this year for grade 3. The sections are a great size and the insert are dishwasher safe and the shell is easy to clean. It makes it simple and easy to store.
Kim!,
Once again 😃 so amazing 💖! I think you're more together than you give yourself credit for! I love shopping with you 🤩. The bins and containers you bought worked so well!
THIS IS THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! Thanks Kim! Yes, yelling from excitement!
You always make my day happier....you are a joy to watch!! Love your videos!!
My husband & I are truck drivers for Hobby Lobby & we’ve been hauling Christmas stuff for a few months already. Love your videos!
I have those exact duo veggie containers, I ordered them online from a local home store. You can stick chalk labels on the trio basket with the kids names ( on your command center ) so if you ever need to relabel for another purpose, you can.
Always delightful in Wasdland! Alex bombs, a shopping extravaganza and a clean, organize and cook with me. What more could we want besides more? That was a 5 out of 5 pancakes for me. Now I'm leaving hungry but with tons of happy. Rock this weekend out, Kim! xoxo
Haha always so much to do!! The pancakes were great!! But took a very long time to cook!!
KIM…you make me want to organize (and I don’t even have school-age children)!! And I see a trip to Hob Lob in my future! Thanks for putting a little happy in my day!!
My Kids are already back at school we started school Aug. 4th.. So I have already started to pull my hair out trying to figure out what to pack for lunches.. I hope everyone has a great day! Thanks Kim for putting a little happy in my day!
Hope your day is wonderful as well Jennifer🙂
Why is packing lunches so stressful!!! Haha I hope to find some food ideas to share soon!!
Check out the family fudge for lunch ideas! Some of them are over the top, but she’s got a lot of easy ideas as well!
@@emilyborchardt9039 Thank you so much! I will go check it out.
Love when I get to spend my morning nursing and watching The Wads!
Miss your school lunch videos! Hope they come back! I could use some Kimspiration! 😉
😭😭 I feel the gratitude! Thanks so much for the love
I have the smaller version of the water bottle storage shelf. LOVE IT! I use it for not just our water bottles but our travel coffee mugs fit as well. Makes it so much easier to pull what I need without having to pull all the bottles out to get the one at the back of cupboard (which is usually how it happens lol).
I used those Command hooks, the ones you can restick and cause no damage, one the side of my kids desk for their earphones. I use the Command products for everything, even in my bathroom. They can be pricey, but I think they are worth it in the end. And I have a command center too with a huge dry erase calendar. Love it (when I remember to use it). I can't believe my kids go back on the 12th?!?! Like what, why so early??
LOL love your organizing skills, you think you don't do it well, but you do!!! but somewhere at 33:00 did Meredith snuggle the Nick pillow? OMG so cute and darling. Kim, you are an inspiration, thanks again for taking the time to post this for us because I know you're busy as all heck and we appreciate it.
I always love watching your videos you always put a smile on my face you're the best you're such an amazing person
You’re so fun to watch when I see the notification of your videos I grab food and watch your videos so fun ✨✨
Grabbing a snack is essential!!
I feel like Meredith put in the most work today cleaning the wall.
Oh absolutely the MVP
I lol every time Alex does something in the background 🤣
Cant wait to see your lunch videos!!! And Alex’s cameo in the beginning 😂
Your intro music gives me flashbacks of growing up in the 70s/80s all the new American TV shows like LALaw, St Elsewhere etc
That’s how I feel too!! It’s so good
You can get like the stick on the wall hooks (comand) and put it on the side of the desk on each side to hole the headphones.
I love the videos when you organize. Keep em coming!
I do too… next up; my spice cabinet haha
@@thewadsquad Yay!
Dollar tree has the little lunch containers 2 pk. I bought them and found a couple with a removable ice pack. Love your haul!
I so want the butter holder from target playground... I make my own butter and I love that container... I have one and I am terrified it will break since I use it everyday. Btw, love your post on social media, it great to see you go through what I go through and deal with no finding the items in the store and having to go to other stores ( waiting the storm out) and getting home implement bought items. Thanks for posting
Now I have to go shopping!i saw so many things I need..or want while shopping with u…how many times do we organize and it’s like we turn around and it needs it again..looks good for now tho..looove meredith cleaning the wall..she is precious!! The wall looks good …
I was wondering if you could continue your ‘packing lunch boxes’ videos please I will love it and love your videos 😊😊
We put command hooks on the back of the monitors to hold their headphones and it is awesome! Thanks for sharing reality!
Oh that's a great idea!!
I seriously love your videos and I always crack smile when Alex pops out behind you without you knowing!😊 Also little tip: adding coffee creamer to pancake mix is delicious and you can make different flavor pancakes, and you don't need a lot of creamer to get good flavor.
You are making me want to go shopping! I cannot believe how fast summer is going! I homeschool (it'll be 5 this year if you count my pre kindergartener) so I've been trying to get curriculum in order and now my printer decided to vacay and not connect. Troubleshooting that, haha. Live the organization you did! Looks so lovely and makes my heart happy! Thanks for blessing us with your video!
Love your little helper, Meredith is so cute! You have done a great job getting organized-if only it would stay that way! I worked in my home office today-unbelievable the amount of “stuff” I got rid of.
Why are you hilarious?! First time watching and you had me giggling all the way through. Love how real this was. Thanks for sharing!
That was fun. Thank you for sharing.
I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS.
THANK YOU!
I appreciate you!!
Hey Kim!🦋Nice haul. The mirror is really nice. I’m sure you will be able to find a way to fix it. I love how the command center wall turned out. I hope your kids have a great and safe first day of school. My kids start next week. Lord help us all! Have a great day!💞
Getting my life together 😂 you are amazing
Love the thunder! Love the shop with me. Love the organization. Love the command center. Love the gratitude journal. Love it all!
Also, you look adorable in your glasses. You look like a teenager!
Was great hanging out with you and a few of your family members. God bless you. 💜🦩☀️🌩
Oh my heart! Sweet Little Meredith wiping the wall after you! My almost 3 y/o does it too. Copies everything I saw & do 😂👍🏼❤️
i take those small sistema containers apart and you can stack lids together and baes together and theynest and take-up less space! so no green lidded straggler left behind lol!
YOU DID GOOD KIM👍 You made it work with the mosh posh bins. Looks Good! Love The Wall👍Cool,Cool,Cool😜
0:52 Alex head in the Background is so funny I hope you have a great day
Slime!!!! Wasn't expecting that!
I found a whiteboard version of 11:10 for $20 (probably less with a coupon or sale) several years ago. Personally I prefer a hanging paper calendar for visible scheduling and a big whiteboard at the end of the hall as a place to take notes and hang to-do papers. My oldest starts kindergarten so I'm keeping an eye out for how to do school organization.
I love when you share organizing tips and footage. So helpful. I get so overwhelmed trying to organize. My school supplies are a hot mess right now 😬😅
I love how Alex sneaks into the videos while you talk. Hilarious 😂 xx
It’s his way of saying hi! 🎉
Enjoyed this very much! Yay back to school. Must👏🏻get👏🏻life👏🏻together👏🏻
If you get the large command hooks, and put them on the side of the desk it's a great headphone holder for cheap :)
Best part of my day 😍😍😍 Love a morning that starts with Kim ❤️
Oooh that’s so Nice!! So glad you’re here hanging out!!
The secret to lunch containers, manage the amount. I hate washing all the dishes but I hate clutter more so for us, less is better. If the kids lose them, then it becomes a brown bag lunch for the rest of the school year or school lunch. Our school district is providing free breakfast and lunch for everyone this year. Can you tell that I'm over the clutter, ha!
Thanks for sharing. Your lunch container drawer looked awesome.
I use a plastic wine rack designed for fridges to hold water bottles, bought two and stacked them, way cheaper then the ones made for water bottles
was cleaning up kids playroom and school room while watching this video😌feels good.
just loved the vid! organizing is agonizing! but...it has its rewards! I just loved watching Meredith! I just want to grab her an squeeze! she is such a cutie patotie! I would have such a hard time going thru my kids stuff and throwing stuff away! I know it has to be done and I did, obviously since my kids are like between their 30's and 40's! I did keep a binder of stuff like awards and stuff like that and I have artwork in my youngest bedroom that I have hung on the wall that I don't really want to part with. anyway...long story short!!!! loved the vid! xoxo
