A friend of mine had a little kiddo who always woke her up really early. She put a drop of nail polish on the end of the hour hand on a cheap Ikea clock, and another drop near the "6". She told her daughter that she couldn't come wake mom up until the 2 dots were near each other. It helped Mom at least sleep til around 6am. 😂
As a teacher I love your idea for the clock! Telling time on a clock is a second grade math standard and elapsed time on a clock is a 3rd grade standard, while most people don’t even have old school clocks in their homes! This will set your kids up for success with that! I may have to steal that idea for blocks of time in class!
I wish that $Tree had the storage boxes on their website. I picked up 6 right before school started, loved them, but when I went back for more they were sold out. Tried to order them off the website but it lists them as "available IN stores ONLY". I've found so many uses for these. I'm on the lookout for them and will purchase a LOT when I find them again. I love the cupcake liner for the ketchup idea. My 6-year-old loves ketchup but I hate the cleanup (it usually gets everywhere). I WILL be using this trick!
YES! I took magnets off my freezer that my son had put there awhile ago and was devastated to find all the rust. I think water dripped from our water dispenser and got trapped behind.
Omg❤baby #4! Congratulations! I subscribed way back when it was just baby #1. It’s been so cool watching your family grow❤! Thanks for all of your tips over the years.
Your hints and recommendations are fabulous! I especially love the clock trick...am older with no kids but love the idea and the idea of keeping emergency number on the fridge!!!!
Love your videos, you have taught me lot and saved me money 💵. I saw some of your first videos and I hope you are proud of all you have accomplished. We ❤ you
I have used the containers that usually come out for school starting for a first aid kit, for greeting cards with stamps and a pen, and electronic assesories. I am going to look for the dupe for oxygen clean.
I am going to try the clock hack with both of my kids, they each have one in their rooms, I feel like it will help my daughter who's 14 out a lot specially when it comes to her cleaning her room😊
Love these genius tips! You've knocked it out of the park with these ones! Thanks for sharing! One word of caution when using the brand name oxi cleaner...whatever it says to use, cut it in half. I found when using it, it started eating through my clothes. They started getting little holes in them. That may not be the case with the DT oxi cleaner. It looks like it has less sodium percarbonate, which may be better for clothes. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You can’t use vinegar on natural stone countertops. I have quartzite island and counters. My recipe is 3/4 c water ,1/4 c rubbing alcohol, 1 tsp dawn dish soap and 15 drops essential oil of your preference. (I put more drops).
I tried your cleaning solution, and I am loving it! Clever hack on the clock. You always have such great suggestions. Although as a teacher, no more mugs, please. :)
Wow, the clipboard idea for this time of year of getting the kids' "starting the school year" paperwork done - great idea. I have empty nest now, but I'm not so far removed that I don't remember that dreaded time when that paperwork rolls in, AND has a time urgency for getting sent back in. I only have two sons, but I had friends with up to 6 kids, and that clipboard system would have helped them tremendously. Note for others: what they did with that many children was they assigned each child (as they could do, based on age appropriateness) to fill in everything they could themselves on the paperwork to help the mom out. It helped them learn, and it helped her out, period.
I take the shoe organizer and magnetic hooks on my cruises. They add plenty of extra storage space in limited storage staterooms where most of the walls are magnetic. A full size shoe organizer is just too big.
Congratulations! 🎉🎊 I hadn’t listened 4 a few months as well & found another blessing coming her way & they moved n2 another house. After the expense of updating her kitchen. Oops that must of been hard.
@@fangsmax 🤣 All the money & time that went n2 her super organized kitchen. 😟 I wasn’t around when she spoke about moving or her fourth blessing & I can’t find any video where she speaks ab it but I’ll bet it wasn’t a easy decision except maybe 4 more space. I’m assuming it was 4 more space bc I can’t imagine why she would move 4 any other reason since they both work at home & all the money they spent updating their kitchen. I LOVED how spacious & organized her kitchen was. Take care & enjoy. 😎
Have to chime in on the ketchup...I'm with you, I basically never use it. Our pastor sings a song with the kids that says "it's okay if I like ketchup on my apples...cuz ketchup on my apples makes the whole world dazzle" My daughter now eats ketchup on her apples. Yuk!!
I love all the ideas ❤but one thing I would add is as a teacher please don't give us any physical items like mugs, bags, or knick knacks because people give us them all the time. Just stick with a food item (as long as there is no allergies or special diet needs) but nothing over board like a box of donuts or even a gift card if you can swing it. When in doubt a 5$ gift card for coffee is always great
I think gift cards to DT, Walmart, Target, Kroger, Staples, Office Depot, Big Lots, Subway (or any fast food restaurant if no allergies), or Starbucks would be great for Teachers. That way they can get school or craft supplies if they need specifics, or can have a treat or a need met when needed. 😊❤️
The Practical Mom can you tell me the specific type of Brother label maker you're using in the video for those large labels. Thanks so much, God Bless!
All awesome ideas, Thank you. On the 'Ketchup/Catsup front, there is only one occasion when I use it, and this is maybe a few times a year, it is on Onion Rings. Crazy I know lol.
That ketchup stories had ne laughing because i can relate 🤣🤣🤣🤣. So my oldest now is 16 but when he was little like toddler age he would eat basic everything with ketchup 🤣😅😅. I remembered him sitting in his high chair dipping his Cheeto puffs in ketchup 😅 i remember him wanting ketchup on his rice and beans img it was crazy lol. But i was like hey as long as hes eating lol its not hurting anyone. 😅😅😅😅. And both my boys LOVE sauces lol they are 9 and 16. We go through ranch in my house like CRAZY!
I just love you videos Side note you should use vinegar on stone countertops I’m not sure what you’re countertops are but thought I let you know know k
I did the magazine holder on its side for water bottles. Works pretty good. The lip around the edge messes up the fit but not so much that you can’t use it. Ikwym about ketchup. I don’t really care for it myself. My son use to eat a bologna and ketchup sandwich which was probably the must revolting thing I ever heard of. Dad didn’t teach him that one. We should be hearing some baby noises pretty soon shouldn’t we? So is this the end or are you shooting for your own baseball team? You have some pretty awesome tips and tricks (hacks sounds like what a cat does when they have a hairball)!
I totally don’t understand ketchup people. I never use it either. Tomatoes and sugar……? 🤢 I make the same cleaner too!! I don’t buy anything anymore. That’s good to know about the powder too. I’ll start using that. Less chemicals the better!!
I despise the smell of ketchup, it upsets my stomach ~ so when i go out i save the free sachets of ketchup for when my grandsons come 4 a meal. There handy to save.
Did you know ketchup is actually addicting to kids/people? I didn't know that until recently 🙃 I've been meaning to make it from scratch but the convenience of it just being everyone is so overpowering! 😭
They're usually in the craft or toy sections at DT, but I know what you mean. Some stores don't have the same items. You could always try Dollar General or Family Dollar, since they carry similar items.
@@paulapalmer3948 thank you, but yes, I’ve checked there! Any stores around here just don’t have them! Same with pretty much any DT item Kallie shows that I want 😂
@StephanieGrealis You could also try the DT section for teachers (near the stationery and office supplies). Sometimes they place them there. You could try ordering them online from DT, but the issue with that is the quantity one has to order. If you only need one or two, one may have to order 24 or 36, which is impractical. If you order a large quantity, you can have it shipped to the store. Talk to the manager in advance to see if perhaps he/she will buy the leftover items from you to sell in their store.

OMG the face clock has helped me as an adult. It helps with seeing a visual of how much time is available. Digital clocks don’t support “seeing time”.
When my son was little, we used a small 4x6 photo album and dry erase markers. We put morning, afternoon and betime checklists in it.
Don’t use vinegar on stone countertops, it etches them. Use alcohol instead.
As a teacher I love your idea for the clock! Telling time on a clock is a second grade math standard and elapsed time on a clock is a 3rd grade standard, while most people don’t even have old school clocks in their homes!

I think that that helps anyone who time tents to run away to quickly ❣️

Can you share how else you use the storage boxes? Also, where in the store did you find them? I haven't seen them in my $Tree.
@@jillwolters6956 I use them in my craft room and for my grandson's legos. They were towards the front of my store with other school supplies.
I just got a serious craving for my afternoon coffee that I haven’t made yet when I started your video since you used to be “But first, coffee” ☕️ ❤
Just an FYI, as a house cleaner, I have seen so many magnetic stainless steel fridges rust from the magnets after awhile.
None 0f mine have ever done That 🎉😂❤
Is THAT WHY my stainless fridge is rusted???!!!
Thx🙏🏽
YES! I took magnets off my freezer that my son had put there awhile ago and was devastated to find all the rust. I think water dripped from our water dispenser and got trapped behind.
i wish i could use vinager in the homemade cleaner you mentioned but it willl ruin countertops that are granite .
Oh baby #4, bless you! You are such a good mother!!
Love the clipboards idea! Paper from school etc is the bane of my existence!! 😅
I always learn something from you. Thank you for all the tips and hacks.
Omg❤baby #4! Congratulations!
I subscribed way back when it was just baby #1. It’s been so cool watching your family grow❤! Thanks for all of your tips over the years.
Looks like they're going to need another locker❣️
This is the best vid on white boards I've seen
Your hints and recommendations are fabulous! I especially love the clock trick...am older with no kids but love the idea and the idea of keeping emergency number on the fridge!!!!
Your multipurpose cleaner is essentially the same stuff that they put together to make Dawn Power wash. That stuff is AMAZING!
Thank you so much for the dupes (especially the Oxiclean one), Kallie ❤
Callie, I love how you say “fridgerator”. It’s so cute!
You always have such great ideas. Your energy is almost exhausting! lol Thank you for sharing!

Pro tip use wet erase markers on things you don't need to rewrite daily/weekly!
Hey Kallie. Great DT dupes. Also love make your own dry erase board🤯
I use Oxi and washing soda on tough stains. If you soak it over night, it works even better.
Thanks for the 'oxyclean' hack!
I agree 💯 about the "not great for full-size adult water bottles"
They work up to 18 oz travel coffee mug, though.
If the vinegar smell in the multipurpose cleaner is a bother to you, isopropyl alcohol can work as well.
I just enjoy watching you and that beautiful smile.. Hopefully you will have the baby soon and take some time to recover ❤
Agree 👍💯
I just Love you & Ur Hacks 🎉😂❤
I got shoe organizers every where kitchen pantry closet doors hall closed doors i did that hack long time ago great ideas
I absolutely love the idea with the clock!!!

❤❤❤love ur awesome DT hacks . Love to see more not just from DT but from anywhere. But I know ur abt to pop out baby #4 if u haven't already 😊.
BABY #4 ?!? 😍😍😍 (been mia for a while so super glad I tuned in today. Congrats!!!)
I’m due with #2 at the end of September.
Congratulations! 🎉🎊
I hadn’t listened 4 a few months as well & found another blessing coming her way & they moved n2 another house. After the expense of updating her kitchen. Oops that must of been hard.
@@sandraoaks7887 she moved again? No more green kitchen?! Ugh… I’m back logged on videos for sure now
I need those cards for my classroom! I couldn’t find them at my Dollar Tree. I’ll need to search a few more.

Aw your baby bump makes me miss mine ❤ congratulations
Great cleaner recipe❤
I don't like ketchup either! My son loves it. Lol
Thank you ❤😊
Ohhh love the clipboard per person idea. 💡 brilliant. If I haven’t said it yet, congrats on the newest member of the family 🎉
I didn’t think you’re supposed to use vinegar on granite…I use ⅓ alcohol/ ⅔ water, a squeeze of dish soap and some essential oils
If it’s well deluted….its fine.
You are definitely right. Vinegar, diluted or not, eventually erodes
I don't use catsup on fries but I do use brown gravy on fries
Love the time blocking😊
Sodium percarbonate as well as other ingredients can be purchased in bulk in order to (carefully) DIY.
Brilliant!!

Make sure that any multipurpose cleaner you use is at least 50% vinegar if you want the disinfecting benefits.
Vinegar is NOT a disinfectant, look up the CDC's statement on this.
Don't use vinegar on natural stone. It will gradually etch it.
@@savannahbrewer6161Maybe they meant rubbing alcohol?
Sorry, but Oxyclean is way better than the Dollar Tree version. At least in my experience
