Hello! I'm Erica Lucas. On this channel, I share videos about making life simple one day at a time. Obstructive, massive, problem-level clutter overwhelmed me... until I decluttered thousands of items! 2024 marks my fifth year of decluttering, and I am now bridging from decluttering and minimalism into simple living, slow living, and sharing tips with you for minimalist living!

Erica. I have a trick I use in my car for your big purse. I have one of thoughs yeti type coolers in the back of my car in trunk area. Sometimes I put my big purse in the cooler to protect the things in it from the hot car air. Along with snacks and food. Everything is protected from the heat and it is very easy simple and convenient. 😎😁😎. And when I go grocery shopping it's a great convenient place to put the frozen items til I get home. I like it. Hope it helps you. I just love simple living. You taught me. Thanks

@cristinas4398 Месяц назад

Hi, I like your cooler box method for storing the bigger purse and snack items or frozen grocery items! Thanks! I'll be using this in the future ☺️

@cristinas4398 Месяц назад

Oh hey, and 1 more thought... I think your ice chest idea might be a better option in another way, too. Around here, we can't leave a purse or backpack in the unattended vehicle even if the doors are locked. It invites break-ins who see the purse and want to steal it. But it seems like if they just see an ice chest, they probably would leave the car alone! 😊

I went back and looked at some of your videos from 4 years ago.... Can I recommend you go back and have a look, you've come so far. I don't believe that you would have had time or capacity to take on projects like this back then - even if they children were older.

My oldest child used to easily get queasy and also car sick. I always kept alcohol prep pads with me. Like the type you can get a box of at the dollar tree, that are used before a shot or diabetic finger prick. If you open one and take a quick sniff, it takes away the queasiness. It’s a trick I learned in the hospital after my brain surgery in 2012. My head was so swollen, I felt like vomiting any time I moved. When they went to move me from ICU to a regular room, I asked the ICU nurse for some of the special wipes that they kept using on me. She explained that it was just an alcohol prep wipe. I researched it after, and it is a thing. It works more quickly then most anti-nausea medications. It’s pretty much instant. It even worked when I had to drive this son child to the doctors, while he had stomach flu.

I ended up leaving towels and swimsuits in the car all summer when my kids were little because you just never know when you get an impromptu invite while at church to come visit a friend with a pool or when out on a tour you end up at the beach!

@shadegarden7375 Месяц назад

Good idea to protect the berries!!

@leonanelson828 Месяц назад

Erica. I was reading some of the comments here. I think you have done a great job with your children. I think your children are really kind loving helpful kids. I think some of these readers commenting are not realizing that all of our kids are different. I have special needs and sometimes there is just no way some of the reader suggestions will work. We as mothers need to taylor work and chores and expectations to each child based on their abilities.

@EricaLucasLoves Месяц назад

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. The internet needs more of that and I needed to read nice words. Thank you!

@katia.luna213 Месяц назад

I always like seeing what's going on! I hope the netting works out. If you switch from your large literal purse to just a canvas tote or reusable bag, that would deter thieves 🐀 When I go grocery shopping I put my purse inside one of my reusable shopping bags :)

@tanyajohnston8262 2 месяца назад

I enjoy how you keep it real. And love your container gardening. I don’t enjoy gardening but I may like container gardening 😊

@cherylfalk4193 Месяц назад

Your channel always gives me a sense of hope and peace, messy vans and all 😊

@jackiedent3923 2 месяца назад

Sure glad that was a bagel, I thought it was a banana! 😂 Thanks for sharing today, good luck with the berries!

@cristinas4398 Месяц назад

Hehe I thought it was a half banana too!😅

@tallulahsmom2964 Месяц назад

I love the second purse/bag idea. It works great for me too. I also love to container garden. Like you, it gives me so much enjoyment. When planting vegetables and flowers it gives me time to relax, think and pray. I love seeing my plants grow. Several schools in my area have started gardens on the school grounds. They are showing students how to maintain a garden which gives a lot of the student's purpose. Plus, gardening is something the students can enjoy doing for the rest of their lives. Have a great week!

@EricaLucasLoves Месяц назад

Have a great week too!

Hi Erica, if you want to make the utility opening of your strawberry cover extra secure, you could take another piece of wood that is the same length as the base and hold the extra piece of wood down with the clamps, so that the fabric is held tight with the second board the entire length of the strawberry cover. Greetings from Germany. 😊

@denisemarie9191 2 месяца назад

Love when I get notifications of your videos! Already awaiting the next. I’m drowning in clutter and chasing the life you have achieved and find your videos so calming and inspirational x

@traceyjardine7002 2 месяца назад

I use the big/little purse system, too. Great video!

@meredithrock Месяц назад

I’ve been trying to figure out what to build over my raised planter bed, to keep the bunnies, birds and squirrels from eating my garden this year. Thank you for showing what you did. This is perfect! I have plenty of scrap wood, and some netting. I’ll try this!

@sallyeve4044 2 месяца назад

Oh. Love the gardening!

@EricaLucasLoves 2 месяца назад

me too! one of my happy places!

@shadegarden7375 Месяц назад

The car😘 mine gets mucked out every 6 months…maybe🤣🤣. I have thought about using my leaf blower to clean it out🤣🤣

@MSHoneybee210 2 месяца назад

Ohhhh the feeling when you step outside and realize some birds or something got the strawberries! ❤😅

@bethstratton3391 2 месяца назад

Nice that Andy and your boys do projects together to pass down knowledge and knowhow to another generation. Erica, it looks like your container garden is off to a great start this year.

@shirleygermain5707 2 месяца назад

You have a handy husband. My Mom had nine kids, and she never needed an extra purse, and we all lived. Lol

@shadegarden7375 Месяц назад

Where we live, you cannot leave anything in the car…especially if it looks like a purse. Too many cars stolen or broken into…. Erica, don’t leave ANY medications in the car…temperature changes will mess up the RX!!

Hi Erica Thanks for posting

@joyindrelie6715 2 месяца назад

Your 2 purse system sounds great! I'm currently doing something similar-a Cotipaxi backpack for that bulky needed stuff that does go in and out from car to home each day but I don't need to physically carry everywhere, and a tiny Cotipaxi fanny pack that holds my phone, keys and wallet. Works well! ❤

@judyellen4412 2 месяца назад

I do the 2 purse idea as well. Love the cement bagel! Lol

I have a carabiner hook on my keys and I put like three hair ties on it for me and my daughter (and if I use one, I grab another when we get home). Plus then I use the carabiner to hook to my bra when I am out and about because I don't normally have a purse or pockets. I couldn't imagine having a whole baggie cluttering up the purse for hair ties. Having the big purse in the car, do you cover it up? I would be afraid of someone breaking into the car thinking there is valuable things in it.

@staciearagon5394 Месяц назад

Netting precious berries is a good idea, but don't you need to leave the netting open until the fruit sets so that the bugs can do their pollination work?

@barbaraweber3084 2 месяца назад

Have you looked into a green stalk? I am getting my first one for mother's day this year. I too, am a half hour from Columbia. I'll have to check out his RU-vid. It's helpful to have someone in my own zone.

@LoriJantzi 2 месяца назад

Curious… in the past 6 months what have you retrieved from your big purse bag? Could you put sickness bags and bandaids in glove box?

@carolynashman6227 2 месяца назад

I use a good insulated lunch box to keep my first aid things more temperature controlled in my car, tucked under front seat away from direct sun, nil issues. I live in much hotter climate than you

@MSHoneybee210 2 месяца назад

Good idea!

I have the two purse system too and I dont have any small children. Go figure. 😂

@sandygroenendyk5141 2 месяца назад

Yeah, me too. I have named it the "just in case" bag. It's just my stuff I may need .

@EricaLucasLoves Месяц назад

@@sandygroenendyk5141yes! The just in case bag.

@jennyjenkins877 Месяц назад

Hi Megan! It worked for me so it should work for you now too.

@laurawood4476 Месяц назад

Oh my Erica I remember when the kids were young enough I needed the "big purse" . Those days have passed so I actually don't need it anymore for just jetting around town but I garuntee it comes back out for road trips . Thanks for the memory !

@shirleyrankin-zf6nv 2 месяца назад

I had four kids 2 dogs 2 cats and 2 birds and I still didn’t have as much stuff as you. I had rules 1 no eating in the car .2 if you bring some thing into the car you take it with you when you leave the car . I worked straight nights in healthcare and lived on a working farm. I love your channel Erica . I don’t mean to be critical but I think if you cut your stuff in half again and put some rules in place your life would be a lot easier

@jackieo2403 2 месяца назад

HI I agree- If you bring it into the car you must take it out when you get home. Your kids are old enough to manage their own coats and if rain boots are worn into the car what was worn out of the car? Is it warm enough to go barefoot? Our weather isn't warm yet- I'm jealous- you have plants growing and can wear shorts! You should not have to clean out the car without help. IT isn't all your stuff.

@EricaLucasLoves Месяц назад

Those “rules” are not needed in our family. Thanks though.
