I’m one of your subscribers who is not a mom so I almost skipped this video but honestly I loved it! What you shared was so clever and can be used for lots of non-mom things 👏🏻👏🏻
Our three kids are now young adults. I can tell that you're a wonderful mother. They grow so fast and enjoy them while you can. Great video. Have a blessed day. Thank you 😊.
My son is 21 years old. What you call the snack holders, he uses as a shower caddy. I love all of these tips and I love Dollar Tree, so thank you for this video.
I use those clear vinyl pencil cases to hold charging cords and hang the case by those removable hooks in my kitchen cabinets. Also I use for receipts & instructions for appliances. Hang them on a cabinet door.
mine are 26 and 30! But I was watching for ideas to use with my Sunday school kids. Those storage containers are my favorite thing! They stack up so nice in my file cabinet and I just grab the ones I need and go to my classroom which is on another floor. No more dropping half my supplies on the stairs along the way! I loved the idea of the notebook files for in the car too. Where was that idea 25 -30 years ago when I needed it for our 10+ hour car trips? I used clip boards and ziplocs back then...not nearly as neat as what you showed us. But we made it work.
Those little square storage boxes are PERFECT for organizing and protecting garden seed packets. So are the pencil/pen binder pouches and locking bins come to think of it. I really enjoy Dollar Tree.
Tape! Lol, I lie and tell my kids we have no tape. Also, the one roll of tape left over from Christmas, I packed it away with Christmas so I could atleast save myself some. My kids even used a whole role of my painters tape 🤦🏽♀️, No tape is safe!
Great tips as always! Parents please beware of the HINGE part of the door. It’s much more dangerous! My 15 month old just had to get 3 stitches in his fingertip and nail put back in place. Just wanted to mention it bc I see solutions for finger guards a lot but no one talks about the other side! I bought hinge guards on Amazon right after it happened.
Oh, that is so good you’ve mentioned that side of the door. My daughter (as a child) was pinched there, too. I’m going to look them up on Amazon right now !!! And, great video !!!!
Easy to teach reading, use "Teach your child in 100 Easy Lessons" by Siegfried Engelmann. Just follow the instructions and take it lesson by lesson, at the end your child will be reading. Also teach you children the basic Dolch sight words, they start at pre kindergarten and go up by grade. Once your child can read these words and sound out those they don't know they can read anything. I taught my grandson and he read 4th grade level in 1st grade.
Great ideas! As to the phonics cards, “orange” is pronounced with a short o in Philadelphia. It is a regional difference. I am from CA and pronounce the o with long sound. It just depends where you live. I do agree that the publishers should have chosen a different word that is more universal in pronunciation. I am a reading specialist btw.
those little storage bins are for photos! we keep all our family photos in them organised by year; and they all fit into special boxes with carrying handles to make it easier to move them around to look at the pics (or in case you need to... grab them in a hurry)
I watch so many videos with mediocre tips for Dollar Tree stuff (that aren’t actually helpful or are super cheap and will just break) but this LEGIT has some great tips! I’ll be trying some of these. Thanks!!!!!!
My son is 45. Watched your video anyway. You never know what you might come across. That little game thing where the little one is putting the rings together is just the thing I’m looking for. Our church does Operation Christmas Child boxes. I’m working on finishing mine up for this coming Christmas (2024). I do my boxes for little girls ages 2-4. Always excited when I can find something new to add to the little ones boxes. Thank you for the ideas Kalli!
Being British, I was a little surprised by this. Orange is pronounced with a short o here, but this is where phonics falls down I suppose, English speakers across the world have different accents 😊
Loved some of your hacks! As a retired Preschool teacher, we used manipulative binders and letters, number, shape and color sorting binders as well!! As a Grandma, I loved the glow sticks the disco light and the pool noodle ideas!! Great going!! Thank you!!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I’m a mom of three kids too, and some of these hacks are things I never would’ve dreamed up. Especially the paintbrush with the pool noodle, we always have paint brushes, rolling off the table and onto the floor. And the travel binder with the busy sensory toys is awesome! Fact that buying less of a dollar tree means less clutter. Sometimes we don’t need that bulk!
Idk Kallie, I love some of your dollar tree tips but some of them are just a bit out there lol. I can’t get on board with the “cheap” solutions in your recent videos. Sorry but some are SO tacky! Lol.
The pool noodle idea for paint brushes is also good for fishing poles for the angler in your life. As for birthdays or other occasions, the Dollar Tree is a greeting card GOLDMINE. I always find what I want and some of them are so touching. My baby is 35, but some of your ideas are great for me to save time and energy.
Hi 1st time watching i know this doesn’t have to do with this video but the slinky’s going down your steps omg I love your picture wall. Did you do that all yourself? Where did you get the pics frames ..?
You have some interesting ideas.I don't totally agree with some suggestions you have. I have found over the years that the multi-pack of $ Tree balloons pop too easily. Not good quality. I like the snack section idea but not the way you were presenting it. You gave your small daughter a variety of food in the car; sectioned in a holder. You need to be with her when she eats. What if you were driving and she choked on her food? Recently a mother handed her small son a quarter and he put it in his mouth while she was driving. Fortunately a stranger was able to help the child. Popcorn should be banned from the face of this planet. Dentists have told me over the years that is the way they make money by adults and children breaking their teeth on popcorn seeds. It happens. The small connectors are just as bad if children put them in their mouths without supervision. Be careful what you buy and hand your children.
The section about the tape I nearly died. It’s so true. I buy the Costco packs of tape and they all go missing. To make Barbie clothes or tape up who knows what lol. Tape gremlins 😂
No kids but the disco light is good for dancing at home 😊. Brain flakes look like what we used to put in the middle of a 45” single record to play on record player. Lol
When we lived in a house with steps, i had the bright yellow glow stick and if the power went out, I would put them on the steps to avoid falls. Would put in any bathroom for light to.
Thanks for the ideas. You are always so full of hacks I never think of. I am a 82 year old great grandmother and you have given me some great ideas for next Christmas when the whole family was here. By then they will be 7, 3 1/2 and 21/2. Of course the 7 year old is a little spoiled, maybe more than a little by both sides. With the age difference, I worry about small things with the little ones but want to occupy them all. Of course they get gifts from everyone and some are good for a very busy evening and some are not. If you have any great ideas, this might be a good video for you to put out in the fall. In the meantime, I really enjoy your show.
Ive never seen that 1st container at $ tree.... did you get that recently? Im looking for those exact ones but i dont want to spend the price Michaels has them at
The plastic document file holder that closes with a rubber band will work good too instead of the binder for the travel art supplies in the plastic pencil holders.
I’m one of your subscribers who is not a mom so I almost skipped this video but honestly I loved it! What you shared was so clever and can be used for lots of non-mom things 👏🏻👏🏻
I agree 100%. My daughter is 25 & I enjoyed the video. --------Amelia Storms
True that 👍
Our three kids are now young adults. I can tell that you're a wonderful mother. They grow so fast and enjoy them while you can. Great video. Have a blessed day. Thank you 😊.
Kallie, I didn't see the link to the kids' nutritionist that you referenced. Can you post it please?
My son is 21 years old. What you call the snack holders, he uses as a shower caddy. I love all of these tips and I love Dollar Tree, so thank you for this video.
You're a great mom. 🥰
Thanks Kal for correcting the phonics issue!! Big time! Takes a true teacher ❤ and that’s you!❤
You r a wonderful mum❤
I'm not a mom but I've used those plastic bins for photos & storage of beads for my jewelry making crafts ❤
Great ideas
❤
Tape!!😂💯
some people say "ah-range" so the short o sound is appropriate, in this case. I'm originally from NJ, LOL
Can you link the picky eater account you mentioned?
Did you mean to say "parenting hacks"?
I use those clear vinyl pencil cases to hold charging cords and hang the case by those removable hooks in my kitchen cabinets. Also I use for receipts & instructions for appliances. Hang them on a cabinet door.
Hmm cool idea
😊😂😂😂😊 I almost feel out of my chair when you said tape!!!! I can relate. Thanks for the constant flow of videos. I appreciate you!
I have been trying to buy those small bin that you stored the cards and have NOT come across those yet. 😭
also can’t find the larger locking bins
Ik u aren’t a beauty channel, but I would love to see ur everyday hair & makeup routine as a busy mom bc u look stunning!
My sons are 20 and 15 and I still watched this whole thing. 😂 Thanks, Kallie!
Me too! My boys at 22 and 17!
mine are 26 and 30! But I was watching for ideas to use with my Sunday school kids. Those storage containers are my favorite thing!

Lol! My Grands are 10 and 13 and I watched. 😅
Yep, mine are 18, 20, & 26 😂 But I’ve been watching for years!
I’m 73 and never had kids and still enjoy her videos! 😂😂😂
Those little square storage boxes are PERFECT for organizing and protecting garden seed packets. So are the pencil/pen binder pouches and locking bins come to think of it.
I really enjoy Dollar Tree.
Wondering if you know what kind of bins these are? I see them on Amazon but it’s like $15 minimum for a small amount of them.
Where do you find those little storage bins?
@@Mick587 I see them in the Dollar Tree stores in the stationary section, near the index cards.
Tape! Lol, I lie and tell my kids we have no tape. Also, the one roll of tape left over from Christmas, I packed it away with Christmas so I could atleast save myself some. My kids even used a whole role of my painters tape 🤦🏽♀️, No tape is safe!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
1:10 Finley's face 😂 like "mom, why are you serving me in the car?!" ❤
Great tips as always!

And, great video !!!!
Ahhh, I had not thought of that! We only ever got our fingers caught in the car/van doors. Brilliant!
Hi Kallie. Great video. Please could you share the 'picky eater' account you mentioned? Many thanks
Can you give me the picky eater account please? Thanks 😊
I didn't see where you linked your nutritionist friend. Also homeschool mom here, I would love for you to give some reading tips!!

Yes, please link her name :)
Slinky- plastic one stretches and breaks just like metal one. Atleast in my kids hands 😂
No kids here, but this video was so enjoyable and informative. And your kiddos are adorable!
Tape... Yup. Made me laugh
Lol tape kids use all your tape. So true when they get older they will also steal your scissors!😀
Glow sticks in the bath tub?! My grandkids will love that.
Great ideas!

What is your friends you tube about picky eaters? I have a grandson that is so picky. He won’t eat anything but junky carbs. Thank you
those little storage bins are for photos! we keep all our family photos in them organised by year; and they all fit into special boxes with carrying handles to make it easier to move them around to look at the pics (or in case you need to... grab them in a hurry)
Thanks for the great video! What's the link to your friend who does fussy eater videos?
I watch so many videos with mediocre tips for Dollar Tree stuff (that aren’t actually helpful or are super cheap and will just break) but this LEGIT has some great tips! I’ll be trying some of these. Thanks!!!!!!
Great ideas ❤
I don’t have any little ones but I got some ideas for my stationary. Great video for young and older 😊.

I love allll your videos. Thank you so much 💓
Some parts of the country pronounce orange like arange. Could be why the phonics shows short o sound. Regardless, not the best example of short o.
Being British, I was a little surprised by this. Orange is pronounced with a short o here, but this is where phonics falls down I suppose, English speakers across the world have different accents 😊
Thank you for your video
Retired elementary teacher, Mom of two, 42 and 37, and a grandma. Love you ideas!!! Hello from Idaho🎉
Great tips
Awesome. Love your video
My kids struggle with soup and spoons, but they love it with those bowls
Yessss! Thanks these are great!!
Id buy the slinky just cause Olive loves it.
Omg thank you for the slinky review! My daughter wanted one last time we went and I refused to get it because I assumed it was trash LOL
Great tips I only with I had seen this video 30 years ago when my kids were young. 😆
Me too! I have little next door neighbors that id love use these ideas
As always! Such a good quality content! Thank you
Loved some of your hacks! As a retired Preschool teacher, we used manipulative binders and letters, number, shape and color sorting binders as well!! As a Grandma, I loved the glow sticks the disco light and the pool noodle ideas!! Great going!! Thank you!!
AH! the little bins for card games!!! I LOVE that!!!! Running to DT NOW!!!!
Slinky was one of my favorite toys! Tfs. Love your videos. 🩷
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I’m a mom of three kids too, and some of these hacks are things I never would’ve dreamed up. Especially the paintbrush with the pool noodle, we always have paint brushes, rolling off the table and onto the floor. And the travel binder with the busy sensory toys is awesome! Fact that buying less of a dollar tree means less clutter. Sometimes we don’t need that bulk!
Your kids are so cute!!!!!!!
Also I never would have thought of the wrapping paper “scraps” for the kids, what a great idea!!
Are you not concerned about glow sticks leaking in the water? 😳
Great video
What great hacks! You always come up with the best ideas. My daughter is 41 but I enjoyed watching this and all your videos.
These are FANTASTIC!!! Where were you 14 years ago when I had my baby :)
The paint brush hack is genius!! I'm going to use it myself!
Laura
Love this simple but effective and wellthought video! Ur neighbor from CT😊
Ideas for B-Day-Birthday-Decorations without Ballons?
Idk Kallie, I love some of your dollar tree tips but some of them are just a bit out there lol. I can’t get on board with the “cheap” solutions in your recent videos. Sorry but some are SO tacky! Lol.
Nothing wrong with being a phonics/grammar/punctuation nerd, my dear! 😊
The pool noodle idea for paint brushes is also good for fishing poles for the angler in your life. As for birthdays or other occasions, the Dollar Tree is a greeting card GOLDMINE. I always find what I want and some of them are so touching. My baby is 35, but some of your ideas are great for me to save time and energy.

I love it all 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I love your videos. Where did you get those plastic photo storage boxes? I can’t find them at any Dollar Tree or their website.
Omg! Your kids are growing up so fast! I remember when you were oldest was tiny !
Can you link the children’s nutritionist you mentioned, please?
No kids but the disco light is good for dancing at home 😊. Brain flakes look like what we used to put in the middle of a 45” single record to play on record player. Lol
Love these hacks!
Great ideas in your video! Love the binder idea with games. Thanks for making life easy! 👍
I didn't see the link for the picky eater TH-camr
lol… I use the short o in orange. I don’t say “or”. I say ah-range. I think it depends on where you’re from. 😊
Where are you finding the clear bins?? I can’t find them anywhere.
I didn’t see where you mentioned the picky eater friend’s account in your info box. Would love to check it out!
Looks like your pup loves slinky’s too! So cute 🥰
Lol the phonics card is actually correct because the correct pronunciation of the word oranges 🧡🍊 is ahhranges the actual short O sound.
Hey can you link the picky eating specialist? I don’t see it in your links. Thanks!! 💜
Have you tried soup in a coffee cup with a handle? Easier for kids and less frustrations when learning hand and finger skills. Peace
Me trying to like this video AGAIN at TAPE
When we lived in a house with steps, i had the bright yellow glow stick and if the power went out, I would put them on the steps to avoid falls. Would put in any bathroom for light to.

I'm watching this for my grandkids.
I always always buy scotch tape because that is the kids' favorite.
Can you put the link in for the picky eater website. Thanks.
Ive never seen that 1st container at $ tree.... did you get that recently? Im looking for those exact ones but i dont want to spend the price Michaels has them at
My dad says "ah" instead of "or" in orange. So maybe the phonics has a new York accent.
I’m a phonics nerd and a preschool teacher. Yes, girls hair ties rarely make it through the day!
Are the first containers you showed new? I'm an avid dollar tree shopper and haven't seen them before
Thank you I learned so much while watching this
The plastic document file holder that closes with a rubber band will work good too instead of the binder for the travel art supplies in the plastic pencil holders.
TY Kal for taking care of us too as well as ur own family lol❤
They got the flashlight version of the globe flashparty lmbo
I wish I knew about that pool noodle hack 10 years ago 😂
I done got get reminded me extra rode. I use my spear bathroom as drying rack room. With road now hang small things off it to
I don't have kids but I loved it
