*NEW* Organizing Ideas and Tips for Bees

Anyone else notice that Cas has been wearing the colors for the specific insect she's doing the video on? (Green cricket, yellow bee, etc.) Super cute, Cas!

I am waiting for Cas to come out with her own clutterbug storage/organize line of products grouped according to each bug!!

I'm definitely a bee/cricket mix. I like everything out of sight because I get way too visually stimulated and distracted if stuff is visible everywhere. But if it's out of sight, it's out of mind! I've found that clear containers or shallow containers behind closed doors (cupboards, closets, etc.) has been the best solution. No open shelving for me haha

This series is saving my sanity...because NOW I understand my spouse (and children) and can have more grace for their organizing style instead of just insisting everyone is slobs because they don't follow MY organizing style. I will definitely teach my children this before they get married. Thank you, Cass!

I could cry right now. I'm 57yo, and for years I've felt like I was a disorganized, hopeless mess who had OCD!! YOU have set me free from those lies, and I praise God I found you a couple of weeks ago! I have been slaying dragons all over my house, and am LOVING my home for the first time in years! THANK you for what you do, Cas. You totally rock!

As a bee I felt really called out, hit the nail on the head with that one. About 5 years ago I decluttered (ie: threw away, donated or sold) SO many different items of clothes, and random stuff I’ve had laying around.. waiting for that perfect project or I could use it later. And again last year I went in my storage room and threw out a bunch of things I hadn’t looked at in years. It was freeing and really stressful at the same time.

Can totally relate to the missing phone only i was missing my baby! I was panicking, asking my other children where he was when one told me, “Look down, Mom. You’re nursing him.” Yeah, I get you, Cas. Totally. 🥰

I lost my phone while I was talking on it... My friend on the other end asked me what I was doing? When I said I was looking for my phone she just started laughing... I am also really enjoying this series. Thank you for all you do for us 🙂

Can you please keep doing videos directed at all the different styles? I feel I need more bee specific motivation 🖤🖤🖤

I am so much a BEE that I almost felt as if you had a camera in my house and took pictures. I am sitting in a craft room where I now have my computer too. It is full of jewelry making stuff, sewing stuff and painting stuff. I have a muffin tin in the living room with nails and screws in it, and next to it are the little containers that will eventually hold them. I didn't even by them, they were my dad's. But you never know when you will need to fix something. My hallway has open shelves holding see through plastic containers holding legumes, rices, and whole grains. On the other side of that hallway is another cabinet, with doors, that holds large bags of legumes, rices, and whole grains. That's my overflow because you never know if prices on food will ever come down to a reasonable price again, and they last forever. And, yes, I eat this kind of stuff EVERY DAY. I've been decluttering for over a full year. But I still have two full sheds that I can't walk in, not to mention a full single car garage that I can't walk more than 5 feet into before I have to start tip toeing over large items. I took over the house my parents lived in when I was born, in which they lived in their whole marriage in 1952. There is a 30 foot model train track in the attic. I have no plans to remove it, even if I sell the house. It might be impossible to dismantle it. I'm going to keep decluttering until I can walk into the sheds, and the garage and utilize them properly. By that I mean a few bins for Christmas decorations, surplus toilet paper, and fluids for the lawn mower and the car. I figure that might take until about 2026. I do Flylady system and I am following her pretty much to the letter. My biggest problem is that I love everything I own, I have used almost everything I own within the last year, and about 95% of the time, if I held up an item in question, yes I would buy it again. I did watch, and learn from, a video on Swedish Death Cleaning. That woke me up to reality. I now know that I can't hold on to items just because I use them, love them and would buy them again. I'm decluttering with the goal of only keeping the best quality items, even if those were bought by my mother. If anyone has read this message this far, I want to say I love Cass and I have learned a lot from her and I'm so very glad that she understands the different styles of organizing and decorating. The happiest thought I had after watching her talk about Bees, is that I'm not alone as a Bee. There are many more like me. To those Bees I say don't give up. My house is looking clean and getting more organized every day.

I'm a Bee and one the best tips I've used is that I can't keep it if it doesn't fit in the container! Also, as a woodworker, I just created one of the best drawer organizing systems ever! Pegboard with dowel rod pieces that can be placed to fit everything from silverware and food container lids to holding rolled towels in place. Pegboard is not just for hanging!

I’m loving this series Cas, thank you! 👙 📱 Funny story and yes… I USED to be a phone tucker…. Until it rang one day when I was in the check out at a grocery store….. i was wearing a dress & I had not tucked it securely and it had slipped in too far to reach down in for it but it was too high up to retrieve it from the bottom. I tried to ignore it, but the person calling kept calling back, again & again so finally I just wiggled it down and reached underneath my dress and grabbed it. Who was calling???! My husband, making sure I didn’t forget to stop at the store!😂 last time I carried it there!

”It’s okay to toss your cords” - instantly screaming here noooooope 😂😂😂 Coming from a bee with a cord tray in which there are separate clear containers for each cord. Having a macro base (cords tray) and detailed micro-organized system (separate containers) is a brain-saver for a bee. My mum is a ladybug and as a child I kept organizing her baskets 😂😂 - and she kept forgetting my organizing ”rules”. Now I live with a bee husband and we understand our systems perfectly 😂😂 But seriously, this is a big game-changer when you realize that there are four different styles and when you know your own style. Thank you Cas!

Haha! I laughed out loud at sorting screws - I spent a whole afternoon sorting the odd screws in my basement into a nice clear compartment box! Bee is me!

“Might as well use them as storage” 🤣🤣 that was hilarious! That will be the first place I check from now on 😉

As a Bee, that thought my ideal self was a cricket, I so appreciate all your insights and humor! I realize I actually get excited seeing the Bee Inspo and it’s exactly what I truly crave! Also as a Bee that puts her phone in her bra, or pocket, or waistband, I’m constantly feeling up and down my body to try to remember where I last put it! Out of sight, it’s gone forever! Sigh… But a massive hit of the feels and dopamine when I do find it! Thank you always for these! Now, where to start? Ahhhh

Omg as a bee I've become obsessed with acrylic containers, especially the ones that stack! 😍

Thank you for sharing your embarrassing moments!! I was once at a park with my 4 children and I had literally just introduced myself and started talking to a lady about our kids. We were both in deep conversation but also both standing right by the swings with the kids, keeping an eye, of course! Suddenly, I don't see my daughter and start freaking out yelling her name and asking her siblings where she was. My oldest son says, "Mom, you're holding her". My goodness, she was so well behaved and quiet, I didn't realize she was! Needless to say, me and the lady didn't socialize again after that ! 😅😳

Your phone story at the end literally made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣 Thanks I really needed that. I think we all have a story like that too.

i swear this is straight up my life story. I was sorting my tiny screws nails and bolts while listening, re-organizing my pegboard system, and perpetually cleaning up projects that I didn't put away. bee to the bone
