My 9 year old daughter just came to me a couple of days ago asking if we could just get rid of some of her stuff. She said it's too hard to keep clean. This was so great to come across, perfect timing! The sheet Lego idea is simple yet genius 👏
Smart!!!!As a kid who struggle to organize their things and I had a difficult time getting my boys to a point where they were good at managing their things. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that less is more. I actually went through my clothing and got rid of 80% of it. I don’t miss a single thing! Thanks for sharing Nancy!
I need this. I now understand my son when he comes to me telling me he hates cleaning his room because it's going to take so long and has a HUGE meltdown. Because it's soo overwhelming because of how much they have between 2 in a room. Well now I'm motivated to get rid of ALOT. like a lot!! We're moving next month. So im in need of this fresh start. This will definitely even help me stop nagging soo much at my poor kids all day about their room. I'm low key a hoarder cuz it's hard for myself to get rid of things that cost a lot to get for the kids but i need to remember it's not healthy for me nor them.
This is what we are doing this week! When we can’t have the whole house cleaned in 20 minutes, it means we’ve got too much junk! We have 11 kids so it adds up quick.
I’m so happy to have found mothers with more than 3 children:) I’m only on my 5th (21wks prego) but I’m surrounded by judgement for being different and having more than 2.
I have the same philosophy now from your first minute of the video too. Once my children’s rooms are getting too out of hand too often, its time to get things out, both old clothes, toys and random possessions. My second thing is no more room playtime. We have a large house, yard and playroom. They can play there. Rooms almost strictly for changing and sleeping. But i also have very little ones that take naps in these rooms. Thank u for your invaluable knowledge nancy.
Thank you for this video YES!!! My husband and I always disagree on this he says because we have a lot of kids they need their “stuff” but I think they can have their own stuff but not to the point of messy rooms all the time
Great video! I did this with my kids clothes in the spring and you are right it is so much easier for them to maintain. We are still working on toys but we have made a lot of progress. On another note I did my pantry after watching your last video and that came out great! Keep the videos coming, your solutions are the most realistic and maintainable that I've tried.
Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing. I love all of your videos, so inspirational. Although I only have one daughter and am pregnant with twins, I love looking for hacks and ways to do things in the most efficient way.
Watched your original videos back in the day and have this same setup for my 4 littlest girls. We added a second shelf system in the closet and put all their next sizes into it as they get passed down 7,6,3,1 as well as the off season clothes. It has been soooo helpful!!
@@pamb2438 its similar to this www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/smastad-wardrobe-with-pull-out-unit-white-s59389013/ but only the basket side. Its an older version so its open at the front and the drawers are a lot bigger. It fits into the closet at the side, so when the doors open you can't see it. Leaves lots of room for all the stuff on the rod and then their American Girl type doll beds on the floor.
@Real Mom Real Solutions I’d love if you would make a video showing how you store away/organize summer or winter clothing, during off-season to minimize too many clothes in bedrooms and in children’s daily-use bins. Maybe also explain how often per year, where you put them and if you pass them along to younger children. I have 9 children of my own and it gets very hectic/overwhelming with the storing of off-season clothing. I would love to see suggestions or different approaches- they may be helpful for me. Thanks for considering.
We have 7 kids, I used to store individual sizes, but came across another big family mom site that helped me so much . where they had each child has a tote with their summer/winter and anything passed down from the older sibling. We start with the oldest girl, she has all her clothes clean and ready, we pull out her tote, she basically goes shopping in that tote for the limit of clothes we need, we note anything she needs but doesn't have and we go through the clothes she had out, anything that's gotten to small goes down to the next oldest girls tote. Then we do the same with the next girl and so on, after the last girl it goes back to sizes. We do the same for the boys. I keep a box of things that somehow missed their individual totes, or things that got too small during the 6 months and just put them in the correct totes at that time when we are going through them. It's been so much easier to do it all!
So helpful to watch just before Christmas - would love to know how you Christmas shop for your family!! I feel like we get so much stuff we don’t need…
Please please do more videos if you can ). 🙏🙏🙏 I loved your video on returning Christ to celebrating Christmas and organising videos. Please share more tips for raising boys - like the socks 🧦. I adore your approach to raising kids and maintaining sanity. Glory to the Lord families like yours exist!
Nice video and advice. Thank you for your work. It's an off-topic but I wonder how can you deal with those looking agressive super heroes on the walls... I always encourage my boys to choose some nice toys, not the fighting characters because I have an impression those characters affect their behavior.
good job. I just can't imagine not having everything fold or hang. My son even wants his tshirt hang by colors from light colors to darker. he has few bins. one With pijamas and one with swimming suits. My daughter has extra bin for socks. I can't put dresses in bins. I know they have too much clothing. But I see like they have fun to be able to pick colors and match their outfits. But I have only 2 kids.
We want to clean out the next week. And we planned to keep like curtain things that belong together like Lego Or Schleich. And the Barbies are going to my moms house because they played so nicely there. And when I realised that I immediately wanted to buy more for our house.😂😂😂😂 But I get the curve early.
Also do the sock thing, but 1 colour/type per child. I will buy multiple packs but take out only a couple colours from each pack so there are 5 pairs in a colour and 5 in another. When they get tired I'll grab the rest of the packs and they getb5 pairs in 2 new styles
When my son was small, we'd play, "KEEP, KEEP, DONATE". He's an October baby, the 18th, and Christmas was just around the corner. More toys!! So, the weekend after his bday, we'd play KEEP, KEEP, DONATE. HE GETS TO CHOOSE!! His toys, possessions - it's only fair. We'd dump out a toy drawer on the floor, and play the game. KEEP ONE TOY. KEEP ANOTHER TOY. DONATE A TOY. His choice. We'd put them in a box for DONATE, that includes out-grown clothes, shoes, socks, winter boots and coats, then take them to the local homeless womens' Shelter... teaching him that some people/kids/parents do not have enough money for clothes, or we'd sell them at a garage sale, and he got to keep the money, etc. Teaches philanthropy... at its finest. ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘
@Helen SimataSo glad you liked the idea. Share w other moms, friends, neighbors, co-workers, Church moms, fellow parents, etc., ok? It works! $ave$ a ton of money over the years! I'd just keep an empty box on the top shelf of my son's closet, and the box said DONATE in black Sharpee. There was also another box up there filled w NEW toys, gifts, still in the packaging... mostly bought at garage sales, flea markets or second-hand stores. I was a $ingle mom. When it came time for him to go to a friend's birthday party, I'd dump the box out on my bed, and let him pick a toy or two for his friends... and, of course, he got to pick one for himself, as well. 👍 In grade school, it's an awesome tool... they haven't learned what designer labels are yet, right? 🤣 ✔ As for the wrapping paper, bought a ton of end rolls at g-sales, etc. I bought a new tall kitchen garbage container (33 quart?), lined it w a clean garbage bag, put the rolls of gift wrap (g.sales) inside, standing upright, and covered it w another clean garbage bag. Stuck it in the back of a closet. When wrapping gifts, all I had to do was pull it out, scissors and tape, wrapping, done in one. BTW, was 40 years old w a 4 year old on my hip, flipping a former drug house - replete w rat infestation, needles hidden, phone calls from creeps wanting a hookup, and working as a Paralegal in dt Seattle, dropping at midnight, alarm set for 5 a.m., pull out the Trouble light or flashlight light, check for variances, put another layer of spackle/mud on, hit the shower, get dressed for work, off to the daycare and hit the Park n Ride by 7 a.m. Now, I am over 60. "Worst part of getting old?" "Getting old." The Duke himself... John Wayne. Stay safe and well to you and yours, ok? Love and prayers always to you and yours from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle. ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘ Reply back if you want any more budget, kitchen, cooking life hacks, ok? Don't have a YT channel. Don't want one. Funnier than kraut? I have 22 SUBSCRIBERS w NO YT channel... Kinda' creepy, but as the kids say... WHAT EVERRR... LOL. Also, another tip? Those old PPT or TP cardboard rolls? Cut them from one hole to another. Put at the top, bottom and end of wrapping paper rolls. Keeps the ends/edges from getting frayed. Google: PPT or TP hacks. Will blow you away, lol! Just the touching bases w other peeps works for me... lol. Love you...
Do you still have the bunk bed would you recommend bunk beds my wife is thinking getting the kids bunk beds the boys are 5 and 4 do you recommend bunk beds
Where did you get the furniture that holds the bins? Do you color code by child? How do your children know which underwear and socks are theirs? I like your organization idea. Thank for sharing.
I see the children share rooms. How do you fit in a new baby? Do you just put them with the other children or your bedroom until they reach a certain age?
Hi there! So I JUST did discover you and I’m happy that I have. I have a question at the end of this comment if you have a chance to read. I have 4 children and I am expecting my 5th. I am surrounded by people who only think it is responsible and normal to have 2 children, 3 at the most! My poor 4th baby (1yr old boy now), I had to hide the pregnancy just so I wouldn’t have drama of “why are you having him” “you need to get your tubes tied” etc. which is so sad to me because he should have been celebrated just as much as if he were my 1st. :,( …. Now I’m doing the same with our 5th, my 2nd daughter. My husband and I have afforded our children with no issues worse than anyone else’s, and we have loved them all immensely! But yet I’m made to feel so bad about my own beliefs and wants and I’m surrounded by people like that so they all gang up together making me feel like I AM in the wrong because I’m the only one who is okay with as many children as God gifts me before I decide to stop. Well, other than my husband, but my grandma who we moved in our own home, and her friends etc, only aim the judging at me so he doesn’t really have to hear what I hear. Have you come across this issue during your journey? Do you know of anything I can do to stand up for myself? I think about this pregnancy and I am so afraid. But then when I think of this pregnancy IF no one was judging me, I feel so excited. Also, unrelated to this topic, as a mother of multiples, how do you stay calm and not feel overwhelmed in general say if more than one child is not listening at the same time OR if more than one is sick at the same time? Just the internal overwhelming feeling that sometimes pops up for any parent. Thank you for your time if you do read/reply. My 5th baby, the one I’m pregnant with, she is 21 weeks and 2 days as of today:) … I have a 9yr old boy, 7yr girl, 4.5 yr boy, 1 yr boy, and this pregnancy. My husband and I have been together for 11 yrs. I’m 29. :)
As your kids get older and are better at managing their things do you allow them to keep more clothes? I imagine it would be hard for a teenage girl not to have more clothes. It makes so much sense for younger children! V
I have a large family and have found that once my children are older and begin washing their own clothing that they also choose the amount of clothing as well. They have to keep it out away as our home is smaller, but if it fits in their closet or dresser they can decide from there.
I have a large family and a small house. My kids are ages 20 to 2. My 20 year old never liked having a lot of clothes to wash and put up when he was home. My 18 year old girl has a TON of clothes, but she has to wash them and keep them in her room (even her dirty hamper). My littles have a set amount of clothes like this lady until they can take care of them themselves.
Also, I’m wondering if the same rule applies to the female/girls in your household? Another question when you’re donating or getting rid of clothes, do your kids help in that process? I also wonder if you and your spouse follow the same standards in terms of clothing limits? I was also really curious if you’d be willing to share what sort of religion you follow or specific kind if you don’t mind me asking.
What do you do when you have a kid that wants to keep EVERYTHING? Do you just make them get rid of stuff? Or go through it for them and get rid of what you think they should?
I do have a kid like that and for him I like to go through his toys bin without him there and get rid of the things I never see him play with or that are just garbage toys I see laying around all the time. But if there is just still too much and you aren’t sure which they would rather have, tell them they get to keep a certain number of toys and they have to choose their most favorite.
@@RealMomRealSolutions I really enjoy all of your videos. You have such a practical approach to keeping your home neat and orderly. And it's refreshing to hear someone say that kids don't need every toy in the world! Good for you!
@@RealMomRealSolutions we all knew what you meant. Please don't stress over the small stuff. Thanks for all your suggestions and hints. You're doing a wonderful job.

My 7yo just did the same!
You should be leading her not the other way around. That's crazy.
You are a fantastic mum. My kids are a lot older but I have always told them buy new clothes means you have to give some clothes to charity xx
Smart!!!!As a kid who struggle to organize their things and I had a difficult time getting my boys to a point where they were good at managing their things.

We do this at Christmas too. The more they give away, the more they can receive! We will donate, sell and pass along so much.
I need this. I now understand my son when he comes to me telling me he hates cleaning his room because it's going to take so long and has a HUGE meltdown.

Great info. I like the idea about the sheet. Your system is working well. Thanks for sharing. 🙂💗
We go through bins at the end and start of school. My kids wear uniforms so I just do it when I put those away for summer.
I'm interested in how you organize clothing inventory. Do you have a system for hand me downs?
Watched your original videos back in the day and have this same setup for my 4 littlest girls. We added a second shelf system in the closet and put all their next sizes into it as they get passed down 7,6,3,1 as well as the off season clothes. It has been soooo helpful!!
I would love to see a picture of your setup in the closet
@@pamb2438 let me check the ikea website for a link of what I have, if its still there. I bought it second hand. No idea how to share a pic.

Nice video and advice. Thank you for your work.
It's an off-topic but I wonder how can you deal with those looking agressive super heroes on the walls... I always encourage my boys to choose some nice toys, not the fighting characters because I have an impression those characters affect their behavior.
good job. I just can't imagine not having everything fold or hang.
My son even wants his tshirt hang by colors from light colors to darker.
he has few bins. one With pijamas and one with swimming suits.
My daughter has extra bin for socks.
I can't put dresses in bins.
I know they have too much clothing.
But I see like they have fun to be able to pick colors and match their outfits.
But I have only 2 kids.
We want to clean out the next week. And we planned to keep like curtain things that belong together like Lego
Or Schleich. And the Barbies are going to my moms house because they played so nicely there. And when I realised that I immediately wanted to buy more for our house.😂😂😂😂 But I get the curve early.
Great video that what I do to my kids
I love your Videos! Greetings from Austria❤ and god bless you
How do you repair the bins!? 😍
Good ideas Love your videos 😊😊😊😊

Hi, just subbed. Im from Canada 🇨🇦. Sending this to my daughter who has 4 kids, some of whom have autism, learning disabilities, etc they need help.
Love these ideas
How do you handle shoe storage?
I would like to know what you do for your babies drawers since they usually have more types of clothes.
When my son was small, we'd play, "KEEP, KEEP, DONATE". He's an October baby, the 18th, and Christmas was just around the corner. More toys!!
So, the weekend after his bday, we'd play KEEP, KEEP, DONATE.
HE GETS TO CHOOSE!! His toys, possessions - it's only fair.
We'd dump out a toy drawer on the floor, and play the game.
KEEP ONE TOY.
KEEP ANOTHER TOY.
DONATE A TOY.
His choice.
We'd put them in a box for DONATE, that includes out-grown clothes, shoes, socks, winter boots and coats, then take them to the local homeless womens' Shelter... teaching him that some people/kids/parents do not have enough money for clothes, or we'd sell them at a garage sale, and he got to keep the money, etc.
Teaches philanthropy... at its finest.

@Helen SimataSo glad you liked the idea. Share w other moms, friends, neighbors, co-workers, Church moms, fellow parents, etc., ok? It works! $ave$ a ton of money over the years!
I'd just keep an empty box on the top shelf of my son's closet, and the box said DONATE in black Sharpee.
There was also another box up there filled w NEW toys, gifts, still in the packaging... mostly bought at garage sales, flea markets or second-hand stores. I was a $ingle mom.
When it came time for him to go to a friend's birthday party, I'd dump the box out on my bed, and let him pick a toy or two for his friends... and, of course, he got to pick one for himself, as well. 👍
In grade school, it's an awesome tool... they haven't learned what designer labels are yet, right? 🤣 ✔
As for the wrapping paper, bought a ton of end rolls at g-sales, etc.
I bought a new tall kitchen garbage container (33 quart?), lined it w a clean garbage bag, put the rolls of gift wrap (g.sales) inside, standing upright, and covered it w another clean garbage bag. Stuck it in the back of a closet.
When wrapping gifts, all I had to do was pull it out, scissors and tape, wrapping, done in one.
BTW, was 40 years old w a 4 year old on my hip, flipping a former drug house - replete w rat infestation, needles hidden, phone calls from creeps wanting a hookup, and working as a Paralegal in dt Seattle, dropping at midnight, alarm set for 5 a.m., pull out the Trouble light or flashlight light, check for variances, put another layer of spackle/mud on, hit the shower, get dressed for work, off to the daycare and hit the Park n Ride by 7 a.m.

What bedding do you use on the kids beds? I love that it is all in one! A link to the company or brand name would be greatly appreciated.
beddys.com
Almost all my kids have beddys bedding. I love their stuff. It makes it possible for even the you g kids to make their beds
please do regular videos
I see no plushies. How do you get by with no plushies?
what about stuffed animals?

I also wonder if you and your spouse follow the same standards in terms of clothing limits? I was also really curious if you’d be willing to share what sort of religion you follow or specific kind if you don’t mind me asking.
You should get some wood or basket kind of Ben's the bins that they have now are poor quality and look junky
What do you do when you have a kid that wants to keep EVERYTHING? Do you just make them get rid of stuff? Or go through it for them and get rid of what you think they should?
I do have a kid like that and for him I like to go through his toys bin without him there and get rid of the things I never see him play with or that are just garbage toys I see laying around all the time. But if there is just still too much and you aren’t sure which they would rather have, tell them they get to keep a certain number of toys and they have to choose their most favorite.
3:01 -- I think you meant to write "holey" rather than "holy" (meaning sacred). :-)
Lol. You are absolutely right. I also noticed I spelled dinosaur wrong. Lol.
@@RealMomRealSolutions I really enjoy all of your videos. You have such a practical approach to keeping your home neat and orderly. And it's refreshing to hear someone say that kids don't need every toy in the world! Good for you!
@@RealMomRealSolutions we all knew what you meant. Please don't stress over the small stuff. Thanks for all your suggestions and hints. You're doing a wonderful job.
