My husband who is a volunteer fire fighter wants you to attach the fire extinguisher to a wall or inside a cupboard ... a lot faster to grab then trying to take it out of the box... Also he says to make sure your kids know how to use. for example a lady parked outside our house (on the street) and her engine had flames coming out of it... my son (10 at the time) Knew to grab the extinguisher and use it on her vehicle. Just never know the situations you may need it and best that everyone is prepared..... I said I was just proud of you for showing that you had one!
@@comiksitran6437 You are welcome! So happy to hear you have a Fire extinguisher. We have one on each level of our home and in our heated garage. No very expensive but worth the world if you need it! Liz is great isn't she?!!!!
A great way to remember kids art work or projects that are too big to keep, is to take a picture of them holding it. You will have a keepsake of the item and the time and age that they made it! ❤️
As a person with chronic pain and limited mobility I want to say THANK YOU! The sandwich caddy idea is amazing, now I can feed my hubby so much easier! (Of course he can do it himself and he would but I WANT to contribute since he works and I cannot) I had a bin already and literally as soon as I finished your video I went and put together the “sandwich bin” and made him lunch!!! You just changed a life, little things can be such a big joy sometimes. Thank you💚
This made me smile. It's been a rough week (after a rough year 4 us all) so this hit me in the feels.. You're right; it's the little things😉.. Hope u have more good days than bad & your hubs enjoys your sandwiches!❤
For your clear containers, you could always stick them in the dishwasher to clean and disinfect them. It would save money and waist in the landfill. #JustAnIdea
@@priscillasvedberg1033 yes and maybe just put them in a box to donate or give away to a friend, heck put your stuff at the end of the driveway with a "free sign" There is so much waste and manufacturing, poor Earth
I have a kabootle like that in my van as a period emergency kit for my daughter and myself. Some extra products and a couple pair of underwear. I know it might seem strange but I have to say we have used it a couple times. I love your ideas!
I bought stick on vinyl flooring squares and added them to the bottoms of my bathroom and kitchen cabinets... Easy to wipe off and it looks finished. Love your lunch tip!!!
@@kathleengrieci2539 I am just getting into markers and read up on how to store. You are most definitely correct on this. I had given some of my less expensive markers to my daughter and had to share that tip with her. 60 years old and I didn't know how to store markers, who'd a thunk...lol
I always love your ideas!! For the clean/dirty masks - I love the bin idea. You might consider separating the bins to ensure no transfer of dirty to the clean ones. Can't be too careful.
We kept our kids favorite art work, newspaper clippings (showing my age), and other assorted important papers of theirs and at age 21 gave then the box. So much fun reminiscing. They didn't know we doing this when they were younger.
Oh I’m like that....everything has its place and labeled!! Oh I wanted to tell you to store your markers upside down so they don’t dry out! That’s a tip I got from a friend of mine who is an Art teacher! ❤️
Great ideas! My daughter loves art, but it was getting difficult to store. I started taking pictures of her artwork. Every so often, I create a photobook. We all enjoy looking thru them :) We frame the special projects on a wall in our hallway and rotate them periodically.
I started using my son's artwork as greeting cards for family members! They love it! I just fold it and then write whatever the occasion is on the other side. Share the love 😉 ( and the artwork...)
The scrunchy idea is genius!!! Love it because it also saves counter space. And I love the marker idea. Seeing them would make me want to use them too!
Oh my gosh, when I saw all of the shelf paper at Dollar Tree I was shocked!. Not only does my Dollar Tree not have that, but many, many more things that people haul from there. Mine doesn't have the containers either.
I use the kaboodle to store all my car cleaning supplies in my car! That way I can keep all the surface sprays, glass cleaners and cloths in one place and move it as I work throughout the car.
I get wanting to have your markers in a more visible place to be more inspired to use them, however just a heads up- if you find that they're drying out it most likely is because they are standing up. I store my markers lying down in clear acrylic shelving units... Not something you might find at the Dollar tree that'll fit markers but for what I saves on extending the life is my markers I feel it's worth it. Love your channel and always look forward to your videos!
Labels and a central communications board help us out a lot. We have a small white board. We write reminders on it, have hooks for special keys, and clips for outgoing mail. It’s on the front door and it is the last thing you see as you leave.
Great ideas Liz , TFS😃, please please keep your clean masks away from your dirty ones . Your dirty ones would be safer managed in a container with a lid . Sorry I’m a nurse 😉👍🏻
May I suggest to take that fire extinguisher out of the box. Maybe even mount on the side of the cabinet. But from experience, when a fire happens, it’s just one more step when you are already frazzled, or just in case it’s one of the kids grabbing it. Just passing on a lesson I learned. We now have many extinguishers all kept up to date.
I looove your organizing videos! To help me out in the mornings I pack everything in their lunchbox that isnt cold(chips, Debbie cakes, fruit bar, etc) so in the morning all I have to do is make the sandwiches and add a drink!
Your lunch caddy in the fridge is an awesome idea. To save time, I prep all my kiddos lunches at night, so all I do in the am is put them into their lunch boxes & send them off to school.
Love this video!! I love that you included footage of taking stuff out, going through it, showing how you attempted & figured out to put the bins in place. That was actually really helpful for me not to feel so overwhelmed. I also looooooved the section on your craft room shelves and how you organize things. I wish more DIYers showed how they organize stuff for future projects and projects they are in the middle of. Love your channel! Thanks Liz!
I would use the different colored kaboodles for little girls birthday presents. Or when your girls have a party and invite their friends over, each girl gets a different color filled with nail polish, makeup and candy.
For kids Art..when my son was little I scanned 12 pieces especially ones that were seasonal or holiday related and uploaded the scanned photos of artwork to Shutterfly and made a calendar. Great gifts for family!
I used a shoe riser under the kitchen sink for a narrow shelf, then used dollar tree baskets under the shelf and put bottled cleaners on top. It gave me a whole other level. I also used the white caddy w the handle to store plastic forks, spoons and knives. You can when put a plastic cup inside the caddy on the large side to make things stand vertically.
No, you are not alone! I need to see things, too. I take the label off of Truvia containers and use them in my office. One has small binder clips, another has long, colorful rubberbands, etc. P.S. Love that your workroom is neat, but does not look unrealistically perfect so that it gives the rest of us a complex.
I am definitely a visual person. I have found, through trial and error, that clear bins work best for me. That way I can see what I have yet have the items contained.
@@lizfenwickdiy yes I struggle with getting "rid" of their things, so I will use this method for my last (2nd grade) the other 2 are in hs. So I'll save their report cards lol
Excellent ideas.💕💕💕 One thing I would suggest is to take the fire extinguisher out of the box, if you had to use it for a fire you don’t want to take the time to take it out of the box. Trust me on this, I had to use mine one time on a pan fire in my kitchen, and all you want to do is take it out fast. Very scary but glad I had it under my sink.🙂 . When my children were little I would unwrap a few bandaids in different sizes and place them in a small ziplock bag, that way when they were in need of a bandaid it would be less stressful. I also kept one in my purse with a tube of antiseptic. I found it helpful, hope you do also.💕💕💕
I love DT to organize, I bought 24 clear school organizers for my small, flat craft items, they latch and I sort like items, on my crafter shelf and then I use the small tubs to hold the bigger items. . The clear mini-crates hold my ribbon by color Genius idea for scrunchie holders !!!!!
For the scrunchies try a climbing hook clip!!! I like the really large ones, you can clip them on and take them off easy, you can keep one smaller in your purse and the car...you can hang them up or toss them in a drawer or use a hook on the inside of your cabinet to hang it from
I put my make up into cosmetic bags in my drawer.one has what I wear every day, another has fancy stuff, and one has nail stuff. I got these bags at DT of course.🌈🌈
Liz I use the paper roll holder for hanging up my earings on it and on the long bits my hair clips. I hang them up with hooks so earings can fit on the bottom ring. I use instead of caddies clear square juice bottles cut down and keep my pens. Also I saved the baskets from my old fridge and put them in the linen cupboard putting all electric cords into them. Re use recycle my motto. Freat video though. Thank you for the extra ideas. Always ckme handy.🌲🧑🎄🤶😍
The new large harder plastic white or black oblong baskets are really nice. I’m using them as gift baskets this year. I went mostly black because I can see the white getting stained up easily
When my boys were young, we used to have them put their outfits out for the next day, prepare their backpacks with all they will need for the next day.😊
That caboodle box would be great for the disposable face cloths I buy (I cut them in half ) this way they would be contained assessable in bathroom and sanitary with the cover. Lovely video.
For a quick lazy Susan, I used 2 Dollar Tree cake pans. Stacked them and between them put BB’s left over from a pattern weight making project. It holds my most often-used spices & seasonings. Spins easily.
You seem to be the only RUclipsr I watch that uses shelf liner. Thank you so much! I was always taught to use shelf liner to save from staining on your actual cabinet drawers.
5 out of 6 in my family have strong out of sight, out of mind tendencies. Clutter Bug on youtube has been very helpful in learning our organizing styles & organizing in ways that works for everyone in the house. Plastic bins & trays wash easily in sink or dishwasher. No reason to replace them.
If you see no other comment but this one, YES!! GO check out Cas at Clutterbug! She has different techniques for different organizing styles and she is absolutely amazing! Uses ALOT of dollar store items as well!
Liz, great organization tips. You have given me inspiration to finally organized (declutter as well) my bathroom. I have need to sort through the old nail polish and toss the old and organize the new... Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Liz. I picked up some great ideas. I am in the process of pulling out, sorting & tossing. Once I get to the organizing phase of what is left I will be re-watching this video for inspiration.
I am also very visual and my art room is small and I keep trying to arrange it in a way to give me more room to keep stuff in sight so I remember to use it too.
I also love to organize (drives hubbie nuts!). You gave me some great ideas. The caddys will corral all the loose stuff in the bathroom closet. Thanks!
For us cosmetologist State board requires us to have clean and soiled items in a closed container..by your sanitizer,disposable paper towels and closed trash basket or laundry basket for soiled item including hand towels basket
Tank tops- use a metal chain(I like the white coated ones) grab a couple packs of 12 shower curtain rings, I prefer the metal wire looking ones that are easy open and close... hang a tank on each ring attach rings to the chain! Best tank top organization ever
I’ve just learned this about myself I’m very visual I need to see my stuff only problem is I also like to be tidy it’s very conflicting so I’ve decided clear bins will be my goal for next year for storage. Wish me luck I hope it works.
For my kids projects and crafts, I take digital pics of them, or scan them in or take a pic of my child holding it. They each have an art folder on my computer and are subdivided by years. We may keep super super good projects, but I have a very small area in my filing cabinet for that. But I have 5 kids, so digital was the best way for us💜 They love being able to click through all the art in their digital folder and enjoy the years of art.
Liz, love the video. Thank you for showing us "real life" places to organize. When my girls were little they kept their hair accessories, then their make up in those Kaboodles. I use one for my Shi tzu's grooming supplies. Have a great weekend!
I had to giggle when I saw your bins for the children's art work. I did this too years ago for my kids. About two years ago, both of my children (in their late 30's) were home with their spouses and kids so I brought up their bins for them to take home. As they went through their artwork, report cards, and projects it brought back precious memories for me. My daughter and daughter-in-law both enjoyed going through everything. . .my son said it was as much fun as sorting through the recycling bin. My daughter kept about a quarter of her stuff and the things my son kept didn't even fill a brown lunch bag. . . hehehe!!! (He did find $2 in one of his report cards, probably slipped in there by his Grandmom!) You are a good Mom and this is what all good Mom's do!!! Keep sharing your tips and have a healthy, happy new year!!!
I’m the same way. I do not organize in the beginning I let things accumulate just to see what I truly need/use. Of course it’s not like a full on mess either. For example I moved from a one bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house with a living room and den. So trust me I have lots of cabinets, closets, and storage furniture. But I just let things accumulate and once it was decent in size I went and purchased small containers to group items.
Great organisational tips Liz especially for keeping or not keeping the kids projects/school work! Could have done with that tip many years ago lol The lunch tote is a fab idea for making my husbands lunch for work ! Keep up the good work ! Thanks 😀
If I can't see it I forget I have it!! I tried the one bin for each child for school art and would get rid of the majority of the papers. My daughter is almost 23 and still brings up all the artwork I threw away!! Can't win for trying 🤣
Great ideas...only concern I had was what you did with old plastic containers. Seemed wasteful unless you reuse. Im not trying to be negative or critical. I’m barely learning myself how to reduce my carbon footprint. We don’t need to be too extreme. Small changes can make a big difference.
I zip-tied the bases of 4 of those silver paper towel holders together to create a plate rack for my cupboard. They were precisely the right height for my cupboard and wouldn't have fit if the upper shelf were ANY lower. The benefit of using the paper towel holders instead of the napkin holders that match is that the bigger plates don't tip it over. I think the napkin holders would work fine, if you use alien tape or command hooks to hold them in place.
I am so excited. I copied your idea for your copper mirror a few months ago and put it in my antique booth. It sold today! Thank you for all of your great ideas. I love watching your videos.
I use a cloth hanging shoe organizer to get my daughter’s clothes ready for 10 days and checklists for nighttime and morning time so we never forget anything. I keep a snack bin under the seat in the back of my truck so we have healthy snacks on the go. I started keeping a survival bag in my truck depending on the season. I ALWAYS hide $20 somewhere in the vehicle and my jewelry box in case my husband or I need it. I make a habit to throw away trash in vehicle when I put gas in the car which helps a lot! I also Velcro two cloth shoe organizers to my trash cans so I want forget to put one back in. BUT OF COURSE MY FAMILY IS LAZY LOL 😂! So I then started putting 3 trash bags in the trash can and added command hooks to the sides to hold the bags in place! Now when you take out trash another bag is already in there.
Make lunches the night before. I’m the “grandma cook” in this house and making lunches for a few grandkids and 2 parents that are 1st responders I make lunches at night! I also get snacks ready for after school the night before.
I like your ideas! I wish I had known the scrunchy and children’s school papers system ideas sooner! Your storage for projects finished and projects to do-genius! Thank you! I just had to subscribe!
I like the “Caboodles” to hold goodies from your girls birthday parties as favors! Then you could personalize them with the cricket. Oh yaas! 💖🦩Perhaps move the medicine to a higher shelf? I’m old enough to remind you. 😉
Im diabetic and i use the caboodle to hold all my diabetes supplies. Its good to move from my bedroom at night to the kitchen during the day when I am awake everything together i occasionally sleep at my moms and i know I wont forget anything as its already packed. This can also make a great 1st aid kit for the car or for summer issues like bee stings tweezers for splinters first aid creams bandages sunblock bug spray.
Liz just an idea ,what I did with my kids artwork mind you they’re in their 20s now.lol I took a picture of each one of them had them print it off and put them in a photo album. So now they have photo albums with their artwork from kindergarten all the way up and it’s organized. Now mind you I did keep a few and framed them and put them on the walls

Put their sanitizer basket between the clean and dirty mask to make sure the clean stay fresh. Love your channel!
I came here to say the same thing...😁

Great minds think alike. 🙂👍🏻
same. masks should be separated. I am enjoying this channel too
Thanks ladies good idea
Masks do not work anyway so it's really no big deal

"Earth can't wait...And we can't either!" (From 'Move On') #climatestrike
I was hoping someone would comment about them! I hate seeing how much waste is created due to convenience, when a quick wash would make them like new
I was thinkjng the same...seems wasteful to just replace them when u could literally just wash them right? 🤔
@@priscillasvedberg1033 yes and maybe just put them in a box to donate or give away to a friend, heck put your stuff at the end of the driveway with a "free sign" There is so much waste and manufacturing, poor Earth
Yes that was my biggest concern watching this video! Hearing that she replaces the plastic containers each time :(
The “kaboodle” cases could be used for first-aid kits or sewing kits.
Thanks for that info, Beverly Steiger. Stay safe and healthy. 😊
That's what I did. My son moved into his own place and I made one full of 1st aid.

I remember caboodle as a lil girl & loved it - recently bought my elem.-age niece the purple one
I used the caboodles for tackle boxes for my neices. They loved the color corditaed looers & pole & flip flops & hat.
For a quick lazy Susan, I used 2 Dollar Tree cake pans. Stacked them and between them put BB’s left over from a pattern weight making project. It holds my most often-used spices & seasonings. Spins easily.
I’m definitely a visual person, you’re not alone.
You seem to be the only RUclipsr I watch that uses shelf liner. Thank you so much! I was always taught to use shelf liner to save from staining on your actual cabinet drawers.
Hi Kit W. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍
Great organizing tips, Liz! It's amazing how messy closets and spaces can get.
5 out of 6 in my family have strong out of sight, out of mind tendencies. Clutter Bug on youtube has been very helpful in learning our organizing styles & organizing in ways that works for everyone in the house.
Plastic bins & trays wash easily in sink or dishwasher. No reason to replace them.
true
If you see no other comment but this one, YES!! GO check out Cas at Clutterbug! She has different techniques for different organizing styles and she is absolutely amazing! Uses ALOT of dollar store items as well!
I love Cass. Been following her for years.
Liz, great organization tips. You have given me inspiration to finally organized (declutter as well) my bathroom. I have need to sort through the old nail polish and toss the old and organize the new... Thank you for sharing.
Hi brenda sanchez. It's my pleasure to share. 😄
Thanks Liz. I picked up some great ideas. I am in the process of pulling out, sorting & tossing. Once I get to the organizing phase of what is left I will be re-watching this video for inspiration.
I use the “kaboodle” in the car for a custom first aid kit. Especially the Bandaids, cold packs and bee sting treatment! 🙏🏻❤️
I am also very visual and my art room is small and I keep trying to arrange it in a way to give me more room to keep stuff in sight so I remember to use it too.
I also love to organize (drives hubbie nuts!). You gave me some great ideas. The caddys will corral all the loose stuff in the bathroom closet. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this video, I’m a organizing kind of gal and this video gave me some great ideas.. Thank you for sharing!
Liz you are not alone! I am a visual person as well!
For us cosmetologist State board requires us to have clean and soiled items in a closed container..by your sanitizer,disposable paper towels and closed trash basket or laundry basket for soiled item including hand towels basket
Tank tops- use a metal chain(I like the white coated ones) grab a couple packs of 12 shower curtain rings, I prefer the metal wire looking ones that are easy open and close... hang a tank on each ring attach rings to the chain! Best tank top organization ever
Thank you for this! I don’t have much money because I’m young but I love to decorate! And organize
Love the kid’s bins for projects
I’ve just learned this about myself I’m very visual I need to see my stuff only problem is I also like to be tidy it’s very conflicting so I’ve decided clear bins will be my goal for next year for storage. Wish me luck I hope it works.
For my kids projects and crafts, I take digital pics of them, or scan them in or take a pic of my child holding it. They each have an art folder on my computer and are subdivided by years. We may keep super super good projects, but I have a very small area in my filing cabinet for that. But I have 5 kids, so digital was the best way for us💜 They love being able to click through all the art in their digital folder and enjoy the years of art.
Liz, love the video. Thank you for showing us "real life" places to organize. When my girls were little they kept their hair accessories, then their make up in those Kaboodles. I use one for my Shi tzu's grooming supplies. Have a great weekend!
Hi Sabra S. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch my channel. 😍
I had to giggle when I saw your bins for the children's art work. I did this too years ago for my kids. About two years ago, both of my children (in their late 30's) were home with their spouses and kids so I brought up their bins for them to take home. As they went through their artwork, report cards, and projects it brought back precious memories for me. My daughter and daughter-in-law both enjoyed going through everything. . .my son said it was as much fun as sorting through the recycling bin. My daughter kept about a quarter of her stuff and the things my son kept didn't even fill a brown lunch bag. . . hehehe!!! (He did find $2 in one of his report cards, probably slipped in there by his Grandmom!) You are a good Mom and this is what all good Mom's do!!! Keep sharing your tips and have a healthy, happy new year!!!
I’m the same way. I do not organize in the beginning I let things accumulate just to see what I truly need/use. Of course it’s not like a full on mess either. For example I moved from a one bedroom apartment to a 3 bedroom house with a living room and den. So trust me I have lots of cabinets, closets, and storage furniture. But I just let things accumulate and once it was decent in size I went and purchased small containers to group items.
Great organisational tips Liz especially for keeping or not keeping the kids projects/school work! Could have done with that tip many years ago lol
The lunch tote is a fab idea for making my husbands lunch for work ! Keep up the good work ! Thanks 😀
I am quitting work at end of February. Plan on doing some major decluttering and organizing in March. Thanks for the tips.
Love the dollar tree. I use the same little caddies for medicine and first aid in the linen closet. Keep up the great videos. Love watching.
Store the markers on their side or they will dry out faster. I learned that the hard way
Yes! I was thinking she could still use the same containers, just glue them together and turn the whole thing on its side.
Or put the markers in upside down
The caboodles I use them for period kits for female family members birthdays or for kids hair bands or art supplies
If I can't see it I forget I have it!! I tried the one bin for each child for school art and would get rid of the majority of the papers. My daughter is almost 23 and still brings up all the artwork I threw away!! Can't win for trying 🤣
Thank you for this video! I am wanting to organize my house more! Thank you for the ideas!
Great ideas...only concern I had was what you did with old plastic containers. Seemed wasteful unless you reuse.
Im not trying to be negative or critical. I’m barely learning myself how to reduce my carbon footprint. We don’t need to be too extreme. Small changes can make a big difference.
I totally agree. Thanks for saying this and saying it in a kind way!
The little caboodle I use as a grab and go sewing kit I keep handy.
That's great! I wish you all the best on your project, Christine Wilson. 😍
Love the tips! I organized my linen closet with those bins and it's awesome. I labeled them and it's so easy to keep organized. Thank you!
I zip-tied the bases of 4 of those silver paper towel holders together to create a plate rack for my cupboard. They were precisely the right height for my cupboard and wouldn't have fit if the upper shelf were ANY lower. The benefit of using the paper towel holders instead of the napkin holders that match is that the bigger plates don't tip it over. I think the napkin holders would work fine, if you use alien tape or command hooks to hold them in place.
I am so excited. I copied your idea for your copper mirror a few months ago and put it in my antique booth. It sold today! Thank you for all of your great ideas. I love watching your videos.
That's great! I wish you all the best on your project, Karen Kent. 😍
I have been putting off reorganizing several spaces in my house. You have inspired me to get it done this weekend, label maker in hand. 😁
I’m very visual also. Thanks for all these ideas!
I too use craft items and like them out where I’ll see them therefore more likely to use them!
That's great! I wish you all the best on your project, Sandi Grace Kay Suchey Reynolds. 😍
I have been using a paper towel holder for scrunchies for months and it such a life saver
I use a cloth hanging shoe organizer to get my daughter’s clothes ready for 10 days and checklists for nighttime and morning time so we never forget anything. I keep a snack bin under the seat in the back of my truck so we have healthy snacks on the go. I started keeping a survival bag in my truck depending on the season. I ALWAYS hide $20 somewhere in the vehicle and my jewelry box in case my husband or I need it. I make a habit to throw away trash in vehicle when I put gas in the car which helps a lot! I also Velcro two cloth shoe organizers to my trash cans so I want forget to put one back in. BUT OF COURSE MY FAMILY IS LAZY LOL 😂! So I then started putting 3 trash bags in the trash can and added command hooks to the sides to hold the bags in place! Now when you take out trash another bag is already in there.
Make lunches the night before. I’m the “grandma cook” in this house and making lunches for a few grandkids and 2 parents that are 1st responders I make lunches at night! I also get snacks ready for after school the night before.
You're kickass! Thank your family 4 their services during this pandemic & thank u4 taking care of them all!!🙏
❤👊💙
I like your ideas! I wish I had known the scrunchy and children’s school papers system ideas sooner! Your storage for projects finished and projects to do-genius!
Thank you! I just had to subscribe!
I'm so glad you liked it, Sue Ellen Nakamura! Stay tuned for more fun videos. 😊
The sandwich station in the fridge is genius!
Hi Ashley Sanden. I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for watching my videos. 😍
Best way to store markers is tip end down. They stay fresh longer.
I am also a visual person. I like to see items I can use to use them.
The paper towel holder is good for scrunchies but I find a large carabiner works better. Much easier to un-clip an pull off the one you want.
Hi Ro! Thanks so much for watching my video. 😊
I’m visual too.. I need to see what I have to craft with and it’s inspirational too 🎨 TFS
Hi Cher Brannon. It's my pleasure to share. 😄
I like the “Caboodles” to hold goodies from your girls birthday parties as favors! Then you could personalize them with the cricket. Oh yaas! 💖🦩Perhaps move the medicine to a higher shelf? I’m old enough to remind you. 😉
Great idea!
Im diabetic and i use the caboodle to hold all my diabetes supplies. Its good to move from my bedroom at night to the kitchen during the day when I am awake everything together i occasionally sleep at my moms and i know I wont forget anything as its already packed. This can also make a great 1st aid kit for the car or for summer issues like bee stings tweezers for splinters first aid creams bandages sunblock bug spray.
Liz just an idea ,what I did with my kids artwork mind you they’re in their 20s now.lol I took a picture of each one of them had them print it off and put them in a photo album. So now they have photo albums with their artwork from kindergarten all the way up and it’s organized. Now mind you I did keep a few and framed them and put them on the walls
Hi Monique Frederic. Thanks for letting me know!💕
