What system do you guys use daily that works great for you? Maybe it’s not for meds- maybe it’s a cleaning system or some other kind of creative system around the house. Let me know!

[@MightyMingos]

I use a 3 zipper cosmetic bag for my meds! I have to carry tons with me so it’s really nice to be able to grab and go without a full purse of meds!

[@chrissyzcreationz]

I use a Betsy Johnson insulated lunch box for my meds. Helps keep them at a consistent temp which can be important & it has a nice strap to throw over the shoulder.

[@daydream7a]

I just recently bought a very nice big diaper bag for my medicines, etc. When things are "normal" I travel between 2 houses, and never know for sure how long I'll be gone, so have to have it all with me. I love all the pockets, inside and out, and the price was decent. I still have my combler and glucose meter next to the bed, but I can slip it in the bag when I have to travel.

[@samanthaspanakos8904]

Yasssss I just bought maybe a month ago a diaper bag for my 7 year old hair products. Brushes, sprays, bows, headbands, hair ties, scrunchies. Before they would be sprawled all around the house now I just carry the 1 diaper caddy wherever I'm doing her hair (couch watching TV, table eating breakfast, bathroom brushing teeth, lol) and all accessories are available and contained. I love it.

[@tazz378]

my meds come in a packages for each time I take them. my meds are stored in a box because the pills come in a roll. I have a plastic tote from dollar tree that I keep the box in along with my glucometer, alcohol wipes, insulin and needles.

[@chellebelle4296]

They’re also really good for bathroom stuff too. And peg buckets hang off shower stools well which is great for storing shampoo and other products

[@jenniferwatts3777]

Congratulations

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

I don't know why I didn't think to suggest the diaper caddy. They took the planner community by storm a few years ago and I bought one. They are great for organizing all sorts of things. I'm glad you found a solution that works for you...and yes, Peter was right.

[@carolbuchel3011]

I have severe arthritis in my hands and I take 20 pills a day, so I hated trying to get them into the weekly pill caddy. Instead I put the pill bottles in a basket and I color code the tops of the bottles. Green push pins for a.m. and pink for evening and green and pink for twice daily meds. I bought the push pins from $1 store. Works great!!

[@jaytee2642]

Yay for driving, Mary!!👍🏻 I have always loved to drive, even after driving 7 hours a day, 5 days a week for 31 years...in Los Angeles!!! Lots of crazy drivers here.😖

[@jessiemattingly8216]

Hey Frey family my name is Jessie I'm 38 year's old I live in Tulsa I love you're video's they are amazing and I love you guy's keep making video's you guys are awesome I'm a subscriber

[@susanharris1285]

Ollie loves the yard You did a great job with your back yard, I'm glad Mary can get out with some friends❤❤❤❤

[@hollyosgerby1901]

I love those mini daffodils....they are so so cute!! WOW, a diaper caddy for your meds! What a great idea and, if it works, why not!! Mary ( Souper Woman), your soups are meals in themselves. They always look so delicious and filling. I must say, you have the cutest collection of birthday candles that I have ever seen. So glad that you are feeling much better, Mary. Stay well and God bless 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐱🐕

[@abigailcadmare8598]

I love the diaper caddy idea! I have a diaper backpack I use for short trips with IVs. All the pockets make it easy to store and access all my supplies, the padding helps protect things, and the lining is all water proof and easy to clean.

[@faithhopelove560]

Hey Mary, You left the pantry door open before and after getting the oyster crackers. LOL. I remember how that was your new year resolution. How is Peter doing keeping the gas tank full?

[@celticphoenix2579]

He has missed it once so far that I know of.

[@fralinsandfriends]

There are so many things I could use a caddy like that for. Thanks for the idea. 😀👋💖

[@susanbennett9062]

I think its awesome that Mary is driving again. It gives her a sense of control and mastery off her life. 🌻

[@virginiagrenier8572]

Hope your candles don't melt if it ever gets really hot in your garage. Years ago, made the mistake of storing candles in the attic - had quite the puddle of wax. :-(

[@dees3179]

In awe of your kitchen overflow Mary. I have one drawer in my kitchen. That’s it! The remaining stuff is in a shoebox and the nice knives and forks are back in the box they were sold in and not used. I have to eat with a butter knife and random assortment of old forks. I’m saving hard for a proper kitchen so I have some storage.

[@monafrisbee2664]

Remember if your smoke detectors are getting close to 10 yrs old you have to replace them. We just went through that. New batteries didn't fix it for long.

[@rebeccaclavette2329]

I love baskets for my pills and things!!!

[@connimace258]

Glad Mary is driving. Dont ever stop. You never know when youll need to drive. Glad your better so you can take care of Peter. Ollie so cute. I see other poodles on you tube but l like Ollies hair cut best. It suits him.

[@trishameloling2367]

I need one for my meds

[@BeccaDoss]

“Did I just hear what I thought I heard” is also a commonly uttered sentence by Roger every time I admit I was wrong and he was right. 😆 Love the caddy idea!

[@chrissyzcreationz]

Peter, make sure you leave one spot under the deck that you can gain access to in case a stray cat crawls under there & has kittens! We just used a piece of lattice and hinged it to a corner post and used an old school o screw and hook latch to hold the other side closed. It's been there for 20 years now and we've had to get 4 momma cats plus kittens and a small puppy out over the years!

[@dees3179]

Do the raccoons bring their own screwdrivers or just dig underneath?.....

[@meesa8468]

We have a frustrating situation of a family of raccoons wintering under our raised deck, that also opens to underneath a raised addition to the house. The addition is a second living room and has patio doors to outside for dog to go in the back of the house. Our poor dog hears them all winter at night especially and drives her crazy. We haven't had the heart to evict them or board it up where they get in.

[@mrs.r7023]

I kept 1 napkin from my wedding. Just a thought. = )

[@vettechmom6056]

I love how you call 90's Tupperware VINTAGE !! haaha. I got married in 1990 ... i'm super vintage !!

[@tazz378]

buy some cheap grass seed. take a rake and rough up the dirt. sprinkle the grass seed and let it go. it will work planting now.

[@amybarber1432]

I see Mary’s New Years resolution of keeping the door to the cupboard has went out the window. How is Peter’s resolution of not letting the gas tank fall below half a tank going?

[@celticphoenix2579]

He has missed it once so far that I know of.

[@jtrujillo1985]

💜 your purple perennials - they look bright & happy

[@annstephens9142]

Mary, check out Images for medical organizer bag on the internet, because I take a lot of meds for diabetes and since I had heart surgery. I just thought it might be helpful. Love to you, Peter, Ollie and Harry.

[@janicemichaloski3319]

Mary I have a ? the ice hat you had o yesterday during migraine really looked helpful what is the brand I want one 😊 thanks

[@nathantatosian280]

Hi Mary and peter

[@MrHickman34]

❤

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

I love the Daddy idea, Mary. A lot of planner folk use something similar for all their paper rafting supplies xxxxxxxx

[@paradiselost1914]

There is nothing gross about using 10 year old napkins. After my grandmother died, she had lots of vintage 20-30 year old napkins that I kept and used. If using old napkins grosses you out, then use them between china plates to keep them from getting scratched. All china or crystal plates should have napkins or felt between them to prevent scratching by the plate above.

[@donnabowers1317]

It’s been so long that I’ve seen you driving a vehicle, I’m so happy for you many blessings in your journey. You too are so wonderful. May you have a blessed week.🙏🏼♥️🧚🏾‍♂️🐕🐾

[@masunshine2970]

You two have an amazing weekend. Watching you guys is always amazing and you make me laugh, cry sometimes, and always remember to have God in my heart every day.

[@BNHAalltheway]

Great Mary to see You driving Peter the lattice You put around the deck looks great You guys are awesome

[@sew_i_did5257]

Your pretty purple flower weeds are called veronica, aka speedwell, aka Chautauqua grass! They are so common where I live in Chautauqua County, NY that they picked up the name from the county. :). They're definitely one of my favorite spring flowers! Soon we will get them......right now unfortunately we still have snow in the higher elevations. Sigh.

[@lynnkihara2323]

8 different meds, 5 different combilers, 5 different OTC meds, glucometer (and supplies for that) needed a big box. Diaper caddy is too small.😅

[@lil1andMe]

Hi guys... I've been wanting to do something like cooking for a family for a while. How do u go about finding? Im in Boston, just in case u have info from here. Thank you, so much! Pray for your health always God Bless you all💞

[@sailorbrite]

I use a sewing/crafter caddy similar to your diaper caddy for keeping stuff with me between the bedroom, living room, and office. It can take my phone, iPad, Nintendo Switch, a book, Tylenol, clippers...anything I want to keep with me and not have to run around a lot for. Really great for people who have stairs and leg or foot injuries too!

[@jodiemorgan8063]

Hi, my two peach-faced lovebirds let me know this morning that our smoke alarms battery needed changing. Oh boy were they upset. I gave them some extra treats of carrot, capsicum and kale to help settle them. ❤️

[@Lyn4817]

Peter, use your cell phone to make a note of what you need at the hardware store when you think get it. So the next time you go the hardware store, you have a reminder list of your needed supplies. Mary you have been responsible in only driving when you have been feeling really well. Now thanks to Trikafta, you can now build up your driving experience. Mary, your diaper caddy is a brilliant idea. I have been using a cardboard box since my last hospital visit, next to my bed for my meds.

[@Paula_Limberg]

I remember playing with that same Pillsbury rolling pin! Recognized it right away - too funny! Thanks for the laugh :)

[@jcwittig]

As a person with chronic illness plus I never feel like driving because either I feel I'm going to pass out or my sugar so low that I'm shaking or my oxygen is so low but I really should be answering on breathing. So I love to drive but right now I love being the passenger instead. That way I don't have to tax my brain to be a safe driver and make sure that my body working.

[@analuisa1214]

At home, meds are everywhere lol. No organization, but it actually works for us. We keep it where we know we will find it and remember to take it. But we do have a big box to keep extra meds, for example a 3 month's prescription, we only take one box and the other two are kept in the box, or meds that are there for emergencies like an unexpected allergy or leftovers that are still good if we need it again. It works for us, I guess 😂 no one forgets to take anything

[@jerryskeepero]

Your lawn is looking beautiful! Well done Peter!

[@annaWdbn]

What is your secondary insurance and how does it work? Im looking for myself since my main plan doesn't cover everything.

[@meesa8468]

Mary, you are crafty. I would find a super cute box and use some mod podge and separate the layers of the napkins from your wedding and decoupage the box. You could then paint or decorate any way you like and use it as a memory box.

[@benjaminfreyman4273]

Lol yes peter I'm sitting here going yes she admitted you were right! I knew what you were asking of her before she answered you. 😆 Glad you had a good day Mary.

[@julia2jules]

Vintage Tupperware Me thinks 1970s Mary 1990s

[@carolynlong9148]

Mary I think that diaper carrier is the coolest thing. It's practical and it carries all you're stuff two👍👍up.

[@dianefitzpatrick4250]

Loved the flowers Mary! Makes me happy that spring /summer is around the corner!💐

[@melanie98d]

Mary, You Crack me up girl. Keep on driving and organizing all the things as only you can!

[@maddieadams75]

Good to see Mary’s headache is gone ♥️

[@ucwarriorwoman]

I love how much fun you have with organization, Mary!! ❤

[@melanielandry2855]

Diaper caddy for meds; such a good idea! Thanks!

[@tamberjune]

Go Mary with Driving!!! 💖💖👍

[@PinkHawk191]

My birthday is on the same day as Peter’s birthday May 19th!

[@sadiemcgunigale6583]

Oh my goodness that is such a fantastic idea thanks so much for sharing!

[@janis17656haris]

Sadly all our churches are closed no services at all.

[@rebeccacornier2082]

Remember to keep both of your hands on the wheel or at least one.

[@TaleRavenTarot]

The diaper caddy is a great idea!! I'm totally going to try this for myself. Thanks for the tip!

[@MsBrat1967]

Your flowers look pretty.

[@1handedmedia]

I didnt even know they had a fabric diaper caddy LOL I use a big box looking makeup bag it fits everything I need and has a zipper on top so I can just zip it so my meds don't fall out and I can get to all my meds easy without having to take them all out to find the ones I need and I have got to where I don't even have to look on the label to see what meds are what I can just tell by how big or skinny the bottle is or the texture & the sound when I shake them lol

[@alexism4680]

SUPER IDEA MARY!! 👍😃.

[@michelleschreffler]

Mary so glad your driving! I don't drive I tried but with all my medical issues it makes me to nervous! I miss my independence ! Can't. wait till I can get my plants to cold at night maybe in about a month! I have hummingbirds I used to get cigar plants maybe something you could try !! Always had good luck with that plant hummers love it !!!

[@clairemalinowski2971]

Hi Mary was it party city .

[@kathyloomis3107]

Two things, your church could definitely have an Easter sunrise service which are outdoor and awesome. The second thing is have you ever tried making your own noodles for your chicken noodle soup?❤️😃❤️😃

[@reneeross279]

Thank you for sharing the diaper bag idea! It's brilliant. I'm ordering one right now!!

[@justaplainmom4395]

I love the idea of the diaper caddy I wonder if I can find one that would fit in a lock box because I have to lock mine up because my small grandchildren always in my house

[@calico097]

One thing I have done is find a wide vase you can put the used often spatulas, mixing spoons, and other utensils you use often in the vase and put the less used utensils in a drawer in the house so you never forget what utensils you have and they are closer to grab when really needed

[@nancyp2992]

You have to replace one and all of the batteries on your system or you will have that persistent beep beep Beep

[@3catmom844]

Nothing like soup on a tray table! HAHAHA!

[@bconsilio3764]

When you first showed the med tray I thought ‘that’s ripe for disaster!’

[@openlybookish]

Mary those wedding napkins have stood the test of time. 😂

[@curtisbemis6640]

love the frey life , hope peters b day will be amazing he deserves it .

[@jtrujillo1985]

Diaper Caddy 😁😂 who knew!

[@jtrujillo1985]

Raise the Roof!!.. .no more headache or shakes!

[@eej1983able]

Rofl you stole the diaper caddy lolol.

[@MightyMingos]

Wow the first to comment!!! I am never this early!!!

[@maryreynolds5310]

Too funny Mary, too funny! 🎉

[@jtrujillo1985]

A thing of medicines.. .a "combler" you mean?

[@jerryskeepero]

Also, Mary, I love the white nail polish!

[@bridgetlaw8634]

It is awesome to see Mary driving!

[@146shell]

Why do you both sound like you have something stuck in your throat at times? Like your croaky and sick. Sorry it’s hard to understand sometimes. You both sometimes sound like your mumbling. Sorry, I’m not hating but I can’t understand sometimes.

[@jaytee2642]

I think what you might be referring to is vocal fry. Google it and you will find lots of information to help clarify if that's the sound you are hearing. I think it's basically habitual, and takes conscious effort to eliminate. I'm guilty of it myself.
