LOVE the trash container idea!! If someone said that to me, I'd have thought it was gross. But seeing you explain it, makes sense! Went out and bought one today, THANK YOU!
I love to organize too and I think it makes life so easy. I put my extra bags for my little garbage can in the bottom of the garbage can and when I take out my filled bag the new ones are right there at the bottom of the can. I thought you might like this idea, it's neat,clean and gives you the extra space in the door pocket of your car.
Kathryn... have I told you how much I LOVE you!? You give me so many ideas! I'm so thankful I found your channel! It's finally warming up here in Canada so I've been eager to finally get a good deep clean going on my car! I'll be using EVERY idea you have...THANKS! The one thing I already do (kinda) and have been doing forever...is the garbage bag in the car. Taking stuff out after every drive was something I was never consistent with so I just hung mine from the corner of the glove box or the stick in the middle hanging down to the passenger side but I do like the idea of having it in the backseat! Stealing that idea too! Keep it up pretty mama!
I love this video. I hate to get in a messy car. My husband is the WORST at keeping a car clean and it drives me crazy. I guess after 25 years of marriage if that is our biggest problem we are doing ok. Haha. This video has given me a couple of ideas. Thank you and keep up the great work. You are my hero
What an amazing person you are! I love all your vids and recommend them. I bet you are a great teacher and are loved by your students. How lucky (blessed) they are
Oh my goodness Kathryn, of all the stuff I store in my van for "just in case" I have never once thought to keep a roll of paper towels in there. What a great idea! Adding that one to the list. Thanks for the tip!
I absolutely love the container you have for a trash bin. I've tried using bags and they always end up moving around or tied off when there is something wet in them, then I take it out and forget to replace it. Having a designated trash bin is great!
LOVE, LOVE,LOVE your trashcan....what a neat idea....Before now, never saw anything I liked that would work for trash...will have to do this one...I have a laundry basket in the back of my SUV ...works great to put in tennis shoes...paper towels...car cleaner...and ect.......that way, my car does stay clutter free... And also, what a cool idea for car registration...proof of insurance. ..ect.😀
Car "trash can" idea is genius! So simple yet so necessary. I'm your latest subscriber as of Sunday Nov. 8, 2015. Although I've only seen a few of your videos....I totally see why you have so many subscribers. You rock!
We also keep a couple of gallon sized ziptop bags in our car. In case anyone gets carsick, they use the bag, wipe off their mouth with a diaper wipe, throw it in the bag, zip it up, and we toss it in the trash as soon as we can pull over.
I love your videos...I am no longer a young mother, my children are all grown, but I love your tips and decorating ideas. Thanks for sharing... :) Looking forward to new videos!!
The shirts are a great idea and take up minimal space. Kids get sick and they throw up... usually on Mommy. Having a clean shirt to put on is a wonderful thing :-) I am putting a container for trash in my car....another one of your great ideas. Thanks Kathryn!!!!!!!!!
Excellent ideas. We are just approaching spring and plan a overhaul of our SUV. We have a grandbaby on the way and alot of the tips work for us. Also ty for being a for family. Both my husband and daughter work at a Ford Assembly plant in Ont Canada 😊
I'm from NC and my birthday is May 25 and I played the flute in school as well and I have 2 boys!!! I just thought it was to funny how much we have in common! Lol!! But in a couple years older! Lol!
Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail on Facebook and clicked on it because of the ThirtyOne products! That means I'll be able to copy you with items I already have on hand. I'm really glad my kids are a little bit older now (3, 7, 9) and I don't actually keep snacks in the car anymore. And now, when we get out, I can make sure they take with them whatever it is they brought in (that includes trash). My husband on the other hand.... maybe I do need that trash container ;-) Thank you for the great tips!
I love this video, I have MOST of the stuff in my car that you have in yours minus the baby stuff, BUT I also have like an emergency fashion kit, which comes with fashion tape, shoe shine sponge, a deodorant remover ( It removes it from your clothes, not you like my mom thought ) it has lint remover pads, static cling spray, Gosh I forget what all, it's like $10.00 at Wal-Mart and comes in it's on little pink tin ! Well worth the money. I also stick a few extra pad's and tampon's, hair bow's, hair tie's and a travel brush, what I did was I got a small travel make-up bag, not the purse size, but the next one up, I stuck it all in there, now if I'm out shopping, at the park or whatever and I have any sort of fashion emergency I'm covered! Thanks for sharing this with us, your such an ANGEL ! I need to see baby Carson though ! I swear you better be thankful we don't live close to each other because you'd never see Carson ! I'd be like one of those people who borrows thing's and forget to return them, but I'd be borrowing Carson man, and forget to bring him back ! Hugs, Denise
Great trash can idea! I am getting one today. Oh, and instead of spare liner bags in the door, I am going to use a trick I saw a hotel maid do.... put the clean spare liner bags folded in the bottom of the 'can' under the currently being used liner.
Great ideas 4 keeping one's car organized. As I watched concerning the keeping of a first aid kit, water bottles, sun screen, snack bars... I thought, using an ice chest, like I do, can help keep these items insulated, which is a good thing. Especially since even on a 70-degree weather day(s), cars can reach high temps inside. I am sure you could maybe find a good vintage one, maybe at a yard sale, Craigslist or maybe even a Goodwill find. I always keep my Thermos brand, 2.5-cubic ft., ice cooler (purchased new back in 1971 or 1972 (in my Armada) and I tell you, those where made so well that even if its 90+-degrees outside, I can store purchased make-up or other delicate items (w/out ice), and when I take them out... they're not warm as they have been kept insulated; they come out as cool as when I put them in there. And of course, whenever I go food shopping on hot days, I put my cold items in there with my two vintage Rubbermaid Aqua WATER (refillable) Aqua color rectangular (16" x 14" x 2.5"/also purchased new back in the 70s), and even the ice cream and all of other cold stuff comes into my kitchen from the garage as cold as it went in... and the ice cream is perfectly frozen. Just a thought, hope it helps someone.
I never thought of this until my ex husband suggested it but all of the loose things in the automobile are a hazzard when/if you get into an accident, God forbid. A closable picnic basket would work well for the water and things in the back and then find a way to bungie it to the seat so that it doesn't become mobile if an accident should happen. Same with strollers. Finding a way to secure them from movement may be a good idea. Love your videos!
For once Im actually excited to be cleaning out the car tomorrow!! Thanks for the tips and ideas! I'll be picking up one of those bins for garbage soon!
This is good for people without kids too!!! I love to see how people with children organize their car because it will help me keep my kidfree car perfectly neat :)
For trash, we use those square tissue boxes from Aldi. We always have a box of tissues in our middle console and an empty one right next to it. So when we’re done with a tissue or trash it goes in the empty box and when it’s full, we throw it out and replace it with the next empty box. It’s small yet holds a ton.
This came at the right time cause I need to clean my truck out so bad-- I travel for my job so I pretty much live there during the day all week :) Thanks for the tips! :)
Glad to see that you are a Ford Family, as I am and work there :). I noticed that you had a little "reg" kit in your glove box, I myself has always been taught that for safety reasons that you should NEVER do that. In case your car gets broken into, your name/address is on your registration and you don't want that info out there. Just a tip :).
So totally off subject, but seeing you organize the back end of your car reminded me. I keep 3 IKEA bags back there for my Aldi shopping trips. I've heard you mention Aldi's before in some of your videos, how do you organize your groceries?
great video, as usual.......going to copy that registration box idea.....how does that garbage bin stay stable? i use one of those 'back of the seat' organizers and it works quite well as long as its installed tight to the seat....i got it for $8.OO new.....i like the way she folds her extra bags....so cute......going to try to find that emergency kit on amazon
I have about 4 square folding bins in my trunk that are mostly empty (I think one has an emergency cloth for if the car gets stranded and baseball hats for my dad) that I use when we get groceries; they keep the bags from falling over! Also, my family's always kept the paper towels in the back pocket of one of the front seats. That way it's always close enough to deal with a mess immediately. The pockets also have window screens (clip on the windows to keep out the sun on long trips) and umbrellas.
Have you done an updated version with reusable grocery bags (I must have at least 3 dozen...seriously!), and having two growing children now? I love the “trash bin” idea. Have you considered putting the extra bags in the bottom of the bin? Time to clean out my glove compartment...
I am a new subscriber and am really enjoying watching your videos! I found your channel through Hilary @MySoCalledHome. I agree that as long as you have systems in place, keeping your vehicle clean and clutter free isn't too difficult. I have shown my mini - van organization on my channel, and we have a lot of similar organizational elements!
Great video. I love you organization tips. I'm sure you know this but safest place for car seat is in the middle of the back seats incase any car hits the back passenger door.
Great video. It convinced me to buy the basket for the trunk next time I'm out shopping. I was considering one for a while. I would like to add, however, that the organizers for the back of the seats aren't expensive. I made one out of a dollar tree shoe organizer, (i came across that idea online). I've also seen organizers for about 9 $ each on ebay/amazon. With 2 kids on the backseat in my jeep I don't have enough space to do anything in the middle and my drink holders are in a different place, but you gave me inspiration to think about organizing those toys and the SOPHIE :D. Greetings from Maine.
Make sure you are reading the airbag section of your car, many prohibit having things hanging from the seat, as it messes with your sensors in case of an accident and can be very dangerous.
I love you Kathryn but I had to LOL at the registration in a labled box!! :) I'll have to ask my cop husband if he's ever seen that one before!! Great video!
My grandparents have a new van, and in the trunk they keep blankets and PILLOWS! It might seem silly at first, but they got them from the dollar tree, and you wouldn't believe how much we use them!
Why not just put the extra bags inside the trash can underneath the bag you've got in there, that way you save space AND they're right there where you use them. I keep mine that way and I just throw the bag out whenever I get gas, and ready the new one as my gas pumps.
being a child that had a organizer on the back of the seat i do find as when i got older roughly 8-12 i needed it rather a lot when i was drawing and things like that and having siblings we often played magnetic board games in the car and it was easy just to grab it out of there instead of having to get it out of a box also when i got to the ages 10-18ish it was a excellent place to keep chargers
LindieLee I actually got a little bag I got at the library and did the same it is working wonders for me I hang it in the back of the passangers side and the kids put their trash in it.
Please don't use out of date sun cream it does not have the protection in it that it did before- it can cause you to burn more than you would without sub cream on
Looks great...I need to clean my car now...hahaha! The cereal box trash can is genius, I have to implement that one ASAP...toddlers love to snack in the car! BTW, have you decided on a theme for Carson's birthday? Please let me know as soon as you decide...I'd like to send a small gift :)
Hey, thanks for the video, you have just motivated me to do similarly. I have a lot of the same organizing ideas...I HATE a filthy car...truly I do...And I used to the same as you...hated others folks filthy cars too. Forgive me Lord. Amen. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing your videos - short, sweet and to the point. I need to implement your style...Hope you don't mind if I do. Be blessed. One thing I would encourage you to do. Your water bottles should be in a thermal, cooler, or box-completely covered..I see you love thirty-one, you may wan to to buy a thermal for them. Being in the back of an windowed hatch-back, even with tented windows, the bottles could be effected by sun or even heat. If you keep them completed contained in a thermal they remain cooler even in the hottest temperatures. Selah.
Awesome vid-only thing I'd suggest is to not store bottled water in a car if there's heat- I know you said you swap them out every couple of months, but that may be too long. The heat can release cancer causing chemicals into your water!
I only keep a trash bag (btw, you should just store your extra’s in the container under the current bag you’re using), tissue, napkins and or wipes. If I go on a trip then I’ll add the extra’s.
11:15 - Yes! Very important to have a tire gauge and USE IT! If I had had one and used it, I would have known something was up with my tire, and wouldn't have had to get a new one. And tires can be expensive!
@@Yuruble optional on yours probably so it wasn't ordered with that, the 2 dozen cup holders far more important than how much air is in the tires LOL. Can't remember what year it became standard seemed like around that timeframe.
If I were single, I'd probably be like this. But it's not realistic with 6 children. We do leave winter coats, emergency items, extra clothes and diapers in the van. Otherwise, everything that was brought in goes out.
You aren't the only one. I don't keep anything in any of my vehicles, it gets taken out when I get home. One of my vehicles is a regular cab pickup, so even less space to keep crap in the vehicle. I don't eat or let anyone eat in my vehicles either, which helps out a lot to keep a vehicle clean.
Great ideas I’m going to use some of them. Why not put your extra bags for the trash can in the bottom of the trash can or you could 4 or 5 bags on the trash can then when you remove the full trash bag there’s already a bag in it.
Thanks for the video! Question though - do you have one of those buttons built into the car (rearview mirror) that you can set up to open your garage? The reason I ask is bc your address is on your registration, so if someone steals your car wouldn't that give them access to your garage? My husband and I disagree about keeping insurance/registration in the car, nor will I type in our home address into the navigation controls.
But if someone steals your car, wouldn't you be stuck at home anyway? ;-) Easy enough to clear garage opener "memory", and reprogram existing remotes. Or some come with a electronic lock, to lock out any remote usage. Or you could unplug the garage opener. I think living in fear about a possible situation, and it's possible steps after is fearful itself. Think, react, fix, and move on.
I feel like I need to voice my opinion about toys in cars. so many times a child drops a toy and cannot reach it. the parent reaches back for toy and horrible car accident have happened. My cousin was killed that way. just be careful.
I keep my things in an old makeup bag in my "hump" box. :P Gotta have hand sanitizer in there and wet ones, lil Kleenex packages, extra napkins and a couple straws. Also, I have a daughter who gets car sick now and then so I keep an empty coffee container with it's lid. It's big, plastic and with the lid contains the smells until we can pull over and clean it. :)
Great video, I would like to use all of your ideas but my car is really small and if I put a basket in the car van I can't use it for nothing else, no shopping bags, no extra stuff :(

I never thought of this until my ex husband suggested it but all of the loose things in the automobile are a hazzard when/if you get into an accident, God forbid.

Love your videos!
Get out of my brain, I was JUST researching car trunk organizers on Amazon yesterday! :) I love your thirty one bags, cute and practical!
For once Im actually excited to be cleaning out the car tomorrow!! Thanks for the tips and ideas! I'll be picking up one of those bins for garbage soon!
Looove this! Thanks!!! I am one of those people with the most annoying/unorganized car. But I think this will totally work for my family & I...
This is good for people without kids too!!! I love to see how people with children organize their car because it will help me keep my kidfree car perfectly neat :)

This was hugely helpful for replenishing three vehicles in our family, thank you mega much!!!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos

Very nice. Love the Thirty One bags.

Thanks for posting! I have been thinking about getting one of those baskets with the metal frame for the back of my car and this is convincing me.
I think you're ideas are awesome! Keep the videos coming!!

Great job.
My daughter uses the same 31 bag for her diaper bag as you do. She loves it.
when she said Ford family I almost cried 😂 not a ford fan at all but love this video!
Have you done an updated version with reusable grocery bags (I must have at least 3 dozen...seriously!), and having two growing children now?
I love the “trash bin” idea. Have you considered putting the extra bags in the bottom of the bin?
Time to clean out my glove compartment...
I love your videos! Keep the frugal organization tips coming!
Luved it! I luv how u Hab a mirror on top where the headrest for baby which u didn't mention however;I will get me one & do the same. Great idea btw👍
Great ideas. I keep the spare bags for the car bin in the bottom of the container.

Don't bother with the nit pickers.....
Amen. Shes amazing, great skills, and great ideas. People can pick or choose what they want to do with their own situation.
I use an empty VHS container for my insurance cards registration etc
You might consider a fire extinguisher and flares. I'm going to put in the tire gage and the flashlight up front, thank you.
Great video. I love you organization tips. I'm sure you know this but safest place for car seat is in the middle of the back seats incase any car hits the back passenger door.

I have a tip for you-you can get one of those cheap shoe organizers and you can put it behind your seat your seat and boom
Your diaper bag is really cute and the size was just right.
My grandparents have a new van, and in the trunk they keep blankets and PILLOWS! It might seem silly at first, but they got them from the dollar tree, and you wouldn't believe how much we use them!
Thanks for the video! :-) I often store my extra trash bags in the container under the trash bag that I use... So I don't need another place for them.
Great tips!! I need to implement the trash can idea STAT!
Awesome video!!! Omg Kathryn your the best :-) thanks for sharing!
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE the organization system that you have created. I will make sure to try this :)
Thanks Kathryn
Why not just put the extra bags inside the trash can underneath the bag you've got in there, that way you save space AND they're right there where you use them. I keep mine that way and I just throw the bag out whenever I get gas, and ready the new one as my gas pumps.
novamaster0, I was just going to comment that. Makes more sense.
Yes I do the same// with just a bag
yup! i do the same! :)
I do the same! Didn't see your comment until after I made mine. lol
being a child that had a organizer on the back of the seat i do find as when i got older roughly 8-12 i needed it rather a lot when i was drawing and things like that and having siblings we often played magnetic board games in the car and it was easy just to grab it out of there instead of having to get it out of a box also when i got to the ages 10-18ish it was a excellent place to keep chargers
on Amazon they sell a trash bag that goes behind the seat and its water proof you can pour drinks in it.
I put extra garbage bags on the bottom of the cereal container (like you have) so there is always one or more ready to go.
LindieLee I actually got a little bag I got at the library and did the same it is working wonders for me I hang it in the back of the passangers side and the kids put their trash in it.
I keep a rag in my car too but it's in a baggie to keep that area clean and after it gets to dirty I replace it and wash the sorry one.
"And then I had a baby". You just made my night. Thank you
Please don't use out of date sun cream it does not have the protection in it that it did before- it can cause you to burn more than you would without sub cream on
albany mewse that happened to me, we had to throw the sunscreen out
albany mewse omg thank you!!! Good to know this information. I did not know this before
Looks great...I need to clean my car now...hahaha! The cereal box trash can is genius, I have to implement that one ASAP...toddlers love to snack in the car! BTW, have you decided on a theme for Carson's birthday? Please let me know as soon as you decide...I'd like to send a small gift :)
They also have car waste baskets that go around the head a seat. Doesn’t take up any room on the floor or seat,
Excellent video! I love all of your videos.
Nice video! Our Dollar Tree has the mini trash cans with lids, smaller than that food saver container. :-)
Another idea that we use is to loop the handles of the trash bag around the driver and passenger seat arm
This video makes me realize how much I need to clean out our car!! #Motivation
Nice video! What do you do about change/coins?
Hey, thanks for the video, you have just motivated me to do similarly. I have a lot of the same organizing ideas...I HATE a filthy car...truly I do...And I used to the same as you...hated others folks filthy cars too. Forgive me Lord. Amen. Thanks for sharing. I love seeing your videos - short, sweet and to the point. I need to implement your style...Hope you don't mind if I do. Be blessed. One thing I would encourage you to do. Your water bottles should be in a thermal, cooler, or box-completely covered..I see you love thirty-one, you may wan to to buy a thermal for them. Being in the back of an windowed hatch-back, even with tented windows, the bottles could be effected by sun or even heat. If you keep them completed contained in a thermal they remain cooler even in the hottest temperatures. Selah.
Awesome vid-only thing I'd suggest is to not store bottled water in a car if there's heat- I know you said you swap them out every couple of months, but that may be too long. The heat can release cancer causing chemicals into your water!
I only keep a trash bag (btw, you should just store your extra’s in the container under the current bag you’re using), tissue, napkins and or wipes. If I go on a trip then I’ll add the extra’s.
I'd love to see an updated video now with both boys!
do you have a video over how you organize the thirty one bag you use for a diaper bag? I just ordered the same bag in the same print!

11:15 - Yes! Very important to have a tire gauge and USE IT!
If I had had one and used it, I would have known something was up with my tire, and wouldn't have had to get a new one. And tires can be expensive!
In a car that new you don't need one, it'll annoyingly tell you that a tire is low/flat.
@@wildbill23c Not all cars have that feature. Mine is from 2015 and doesn't have it.
@@Yuruble optional on yours probably so it wasn't ordered with that, the 2 dozen cup holders far more important than how much air is in the tires LOL. Can't remember what year it became standard seemed like around that timeframe.
Lots of great ideas - thanks!
I feel like I’m the only one who likes to have an empty car. I can’t stand clutter or leaving things in my car. It must be my OCD or something.
I agree with you. I am the same way.
That's 100% me!!!!
If I were single, I'd probably be like this. But it's not realistic with 6 children. We do leave winter coats, emergency items, extra clothes and diapers in the van. Otherwise, everything that was brought in goes out.
You aren't the only one. I don't keep anything in any of my vehicles, it gets taken out when I get home. One of my vehicles is a regular cab pickup, so even less space to keep crap in the vehicle. I don't eat or let anyone eat in my vehicles either, which helps out a lot to keep a vehicle clean.
I used to be the same way too but now with my toddler its hard to keep the car and house clean
Great ideas I’m going to use some of them. Why not put your extra bags for the trash can in the bottom of the trash can or you could 4 or 5 bags on the trash can then when you remove the full trash bag there’s already a bag in it.
Save space and put extra trash bags under the one in use. All in one container! Nice car tips.
Thanks for the video! Question though - do you have one of those buttons built into the car (rearview mirror) that you can set up to open your garage? The reason I ask is bc your address is on your registration, so if someone steals your car wouldn't that give them access to your garage? My husband and I disagree about keeping insurance/registration in the car, nor will I type in our home address into the navigation controls.
it's a law to have your insurance and registration in your car....
I carry them in my wallet.
or on one of those keychain wallets
Good
But if someone steals your car, wouldn't you be stuck at home anyway? ;-) Easy enough to clear garage opener "memory", and reprogram existing remotes. Or some come with a electronic lock, to lock out any remote usage. Or you could unplug the garage opener. I think living in fear about a possible situation, and it's possible steps after is fearful itself. Think, react, fix, and move on.
I see you love 31 bags ! Love these tip!
I feel like I need to voice my opinion about toys in cars. so many times a child drops a toy and cannot reach it. the parent reaches back for toy and horrible car accident have happened. My cousin was killed that way. just be careful.
Denine Lynch I always tell my kids to leave it on the floor until we stop. I can definitely see that happening. Sorry for your loss.
Denine Lynch with babies they toss crap and then you give it back and they toss it again. So I never give infants toys while they’re in my car
lots of great ideas here!
Great video!😊😊😊
That green shirt makes your eyes pop and this video was very helpful
Great tips!! Thanks for sharing!!
The Banana Box !!!!!
Natural Banana Smell ;)
Like this Video !
I remember the Old video that's where I got the Banana Box ;)
I keep my things in an old makeup bag in my "hump" box. :P Gotta have hand sanitizer in there and wet ones, lil Kleenex packages, extra napkins and a couple straws. Also, I have a daughter who gets car sick now and then so I keep an empty coffee container with it's lid. It's big, plastic and with the lid contains the smells until we can pull over and clean it. :)
Where did you get your diaper bag? It's cute!
It is zip top organizing utility tote bag from Thirty-One Gifts. It is a direct sales company.
OMG I have been looking forward to this
This is a great video!!!
can you do another one since your family of 4
Great video, I would like to use all of your ideas but my car is really small and if I put a basket in the car van I can't use it for nothing else, no shopping bags, no extra stuff :(
Love this chalenge
Very good. Keep the shoes away from the toys. Kids put stuff in their mouths. Great vid, shared with others.
Another good idea is to keep like a 20 dollar bill in your emergency kit in case you break down or something and have no cash on you
Loving your glasses! Are they new? :)
