You should turn the fireplace room into a play/school room so you don’t necessarily have to store everything away. Just tidy up daily.

[@amberallen5100]

Same thing I was thinking:)

[@nancypal5042]

1/2 C Borax, 8 t sugar, 1 C warm water, cotton balls. Saturate cotton balls and place where you think their coming in. Worked for me.

[@kellypruitt2362]

Yes, this always works for me

[@h_williams1221]

Works every time. 👍🏼

[@BButtons76]

Borax is absolutely TOXIC to dogs!!!!

[@josie9583]

This works great. But only for the big ants. Doesn't work for the little ants

[@h_williams1221]

@@josie9583 it got rid of every ant problem I’ve ever had. Honestly.

[@LifestylewithLindsay]

We’ve had a really bad issue with ants here in Missouri this year too! Worse than ever! My mother in law gave me some “Terro” ant bait and it’s been working really well! You just set it wherever you have water and there is a sugary solution inside. The ants will go in there and take it back to their nests. Basically it dehydrates them and they go elsewhere to find food and water. It’s kind of scary for a couple days cuz the trap will fill up with ants, but then they clear out and go back to their nests after a few days. Also, that extra room in your new house could be used for homeschool / crafts for the kids during the summer. Just an idea from one momma to another 😊 Thank you for being real and relatable 🦋

[@cindyslittlehouse]

I am a retired homeschool mom and it’s great to get ready for the year to come ! Miss those years . My boys are in college now ( and doing very well ) . It’s the best years spending so much time with your children !!! Can’t wait to see what you do with your home .

[@abigailvomelmo1167]

Hi..Hi..Hi Kelly 🥰! I just started watching your video. Your daughter is ADORBZZZZZZZZ, HANGIN' out w/Mom while she does chores; absolutely PRECIOUS!!! And, Kelly; you are too CUTE climbing on that Bunk Bed making the top Bunk (you're SO Petite & knock it out like it's NOTHING). I'd have a STRUGGLE; I'm 5' 10" 😅😅😚😚. Back to your video.

[@brendahowell5946]

So excited for you. You may want to check on having a small dumpster delivered. Really helps when moving and remolding.saves a ton of frustration

[@brendahowell5946]

Thank you in middle of craziness you still homeschooling. Don’t let it overwhelm you. You can always catch up later. Have kids go to the house and use math lessons while you redo your other house, spelling words can be house redo words like paint, nails etc lol. When it’s a busy season this is how we flow. During garden season we use it for our science and spelling lessons.😂

[@KellysKorner08]

This is what I LOVE about homeschooling. You can take day to day life and make a lesson out of it lol. We are always learning 🤗

[@brendahowell5946]

Yes ADVENTURES AND MEMORIES

[@janettauzin670]

Just wanted you to know that you are killing it as a mom. You are a hardworking loving mom. God bless you Kelly love your videos.

[@deborahhopper4832]

I love all your content ❤️my kids are all out of college now but I love watching young moms at work 😀It takes me back😊I’m looking forward to your home renovations 😀

[@nancywillingham4746]

I use lemons and it works great. No recipe just a lemon placed where you see them coming in and they will be taken care of. It doesn’t kill them it just repels them because they HATE lemons.😊🦋

[@michelesaxton7321]

I can’t wait to see all the renovations and DIYs you’re gonna do on your home!! 🦋

[@reneemoore3658]

Looking forward to the video's of your renovations! And I'm also glad that you are able to go back to your roots. 🦋

[@vickijackson394]

Kelly love your videos! I am a retired homeschool mom so I understand what you are going through. We use to start school the last week on July and then took winter break at Thanksgiving and did not start back until the beginning of the new year. We get out for summer break at the end of April because we went straight through with mo spring break.🙂

[@melissad158]

Fellow homeschooling mom here! My high schooler opt to continue school thru the summer because he has set his sights on graduating early 🥴. My middle schooler and my pre-schooler will start the same week here as public school, August 14th. Love your channel and look forward to see what great things you do to your new home. 🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋

[@amy.thomson1989]

I love the idea of the crayon boxes for there everyday essentials to go in.

[@skye1934]

🦋 there's just something about school supplies and organization that makes me so happy lol I'm so excited for all the videos coming with setting up and moving into the new house ❤

[@donnaeye8781]

🦋 🦋 🦋

[@reneewolf1738]

🦋 so excited for all the future videos of your new home! You are one hardworking lady to be tackling the renovations and moving while homeschooling.

[@monicabrown5795]

My son is on the same school schedule. We’re in GA so everyone is starting back or getting ready to. I just did a grocery haul for school 😂🦋🦋

[@jhmiranda81]

Terro ant bait is great! You put the little house (for lack of better word) with the liquid bait in it. No spraying involved and it works.

[@Blessedgal_3897]

I'm organizing our homeschool items as well and restocking. Yes, an electric pencil sharpener is a must. LOL 💜💜🦋🦋

[@jenniferpinkowsky1610]

Peppermint tea bags! Put them where you see them coming in. I had an ant problem and I put them in drawers, cabinets, countertops, under beds, literally everywhere! 🦋

[@gapeach3141]

I’m an elementary teacher and I’ve seen several math programs but I think Saxon math is the best one I’ve ever worked with

[@lindseyrhynes4072]

I just saw this video pop up and got so excited! I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old, and my 5 year old is BEGGING to start back to school. One more week! Have a great week, Kelly! 🦋🦋🦋

[@Mrs-yt9ox]

My son has been wearing dream pairs for 2 years and they are washable and the last a long time. I love your videos Kelly❤❤❤

[@jeffemler9718]

Enjoy this today. Can't wait till you get started on your new place. So excited for you I will be praying for you that all goes well.

[@krystalmoore6013]

I live in N. Texas and we start mid August and get around the end of May. You are amazing and a Great Mom to your kids. 🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@juliewilliams4068]

🦋🦋. Cinnamon repels ants, sprinkle where you want to keep them out. I’ve use it before and it works & safe for fur babies, children.

[@lisafriesen451]

🦋So excited for you! I would definitely make the fireplace room into a dining room and the other one that was the dining room into the homeschool room

[@lanessiacarrington8283]

I have those same pantry baskets with an additional 2 in grey for snack organization. ☺️

[@KathleenShannon-zw9cu]

I highly recommend Terro ant killer. They take the bait back to the nest and takes care of all of them for the summer!

[@ladybugmom10]

You can do online school. I’m in Utah they give $1800 in allotted funds per student per year. You can still do everything your way and still have the credits they’ll need in the future. I suggest checking out what your state offers.

[@alexandriamares1402]

Oh no girl, the kids in this area start August 14th, 2023. I do not have children but fully aware from my neighbors and the fact that i live less than a mile from a elementary school and high school. So i hear when they start school and with the chaos that comes with all the kids starting school lol. great video.

[@LisaApril]

Baking soda and sugar. Mix them together and put them on a flat dish or directly on the floor where they are entering in a line (best). Basically they're attracted to the sugar and they eat it and the baking soda does them in because they're mixed together. It may take a little while to work like a week or 10 days but once it works they'll be gone for good.

[@belindaroberts3090]

I think your room with the fireplace would be perfect for a homeschool/crafts/reading room. 🦋

[@denisearkin948]

Hi Kelly. This was another good video. Always glad to see a new one. Loves and hugs to you all honey 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@barbarapeterson8030]

A white vinegar and water solution is a common method to wipe out ants for good. Ants don't like the smell of vinegar. It not only repels them; it can also kill them. Depending on how much you can bear the smell, mix at least one part vinegar and three parts water.

[@shereemorgan1430]

Happy you are going back to where it began. Have a nice weekend 😊🦋.

[@lyndarebustillo9114]

We live in Georgia, too, and most of the kids are going back next week. When my nephew was in school, in Arizona, they would go back at the end of July. When I went to school, years ago, we didn't go back until almost September. However, we were out for 3 months in the summer, but got way less time off in the school year.

[@shyanna_lynn1156]

I can’t wait for the new house progress videos 🥰🥰 so exciting!!

[@kimberlyshipp7407]

My older kids used to start school at the end of August. My baby now starts Aug. 7. But they get out at the end of may and they have 4 day school weeks instead of 5.

Great video. Love seeing the organization before school time. I homeschool my 2 boys. I love it. 🦋

[@debbiereilly900]

Thank you for sharing Kelly and family have a blessed day stay safe and healthy. Wonderful video always love them.. place bay leaves where you see the ants also fill a spray bottle halfway with rubbing alcohol and fill bottle with water. Put on mist really works. Good luck 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@monicabiggs1761]

Go to lowes and get the Terro ant baits...place them in the floor in the corners...the ants take the poison back to the other ants...they work really well

[@tracewalker8772]

[@KellysKorner08]

Love that!

[@ashleychavez2165]

I got my daughter's back to school clothes and shoes at kohl's. Didn't really want to grab long sleeves and sweaters yet so we got a few jackets, jeans, shorts and shirts. Around end of August beginning of September that's when I shop for fall/winter clothes. I spent $96 for 2 pairs of addidas at kohls. I also got some cute shoes at walmart. So my daughter is good for now. Around fall I'll grab boots😊

[@pennymain1648]

Enjoyed the video l loved getting school supplies when my boys were little I am so happy you are getting ready to start working on your home when I found your channel you just moved in with your mom and you have inspired me ever since I cannot wait to see how beautiful you will have each room congratulations again love watching 🦋🦋🦋🦋

🦋 I’m starting homeschool next year my daughter turns 3 in November so these back to school videos are very helpful! I’ve been thinking about homeschooling for a while and the closer we get to prek the more I want to do it. ❤

[@KristiBarreto]

The Terro liquid ant baits are amazing for ants. Just place them against the wall like maybe behind your bed & it just attracts them to go there instead. 😊

[@Dmtcbh]

🦋 Happy back 2 school time!!! We are still trying to organize or daily schedule and waiting for the last bits of curriculum to arrive!!

Great video Kelly 💖🦋

[@robinmarler2443]

I saw the comments about making your dining room into your homeschool area and really like the idea. Then you could separate the larger area with the fireplace into a dining/play area. I think that would work so well for your little family. Can't waitfor house decorating content.

[@TheBosslaady14]

Line your door and entry ways with salt and pepper and cinnamon essential oils. It has definitely worked for me gosh i hate ants. Ugh

[@rachelbolick]

Hey Kelly, Happy Thursday. I’m excited for you to be back in your old house with your kids especially since that’s when your KZbin journey began. ❤ if I had kids I would definitely get some of those shoes because you reviewed them very well and they’re not that expensive. I love this back to school prep video especially because I don’t have o wonder about doing any myself but even if I did this video would help motivate me. ❤

[@naomi9723]

Thanks for the video ❤🦋

[@alunamoon7863]

Hi Kelly, this is tried and true. Those ants are probably getting in through the windows. If you take ground cinnamon and mix with a bit of water to make a paste, open your windows and smear mix at base and corners of windows. The ants don't like cinnamon and will keep them from coming in. Later, when all this rain that's been hitting us lightens up, they will quit trying to come in. This paste will wipe up later and no harm to you guys or the fur babies. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 😊

[@lynettecarrillo3842]

Nice school starts here next week August 1 🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@stephaniefoster2057]

Love your channel! Your new/old home will be beautiful. I'm so happy for you. You could make the room with the fireplace, the dining room and make the current dining room a home school/ office, for the kids and you.

[@BabyfaceGaming101]

Ants like my bed too so I put any bait traps around the head of the bed on the floor...they also like my kitchen counter, trashcan and the cat's food so I keep the bait traps around them too and clean with a vinegar solution...

I’d recommend spraying the exterior perimeter of your house with termidor. You could put a bit of food grade diatomaceous earth around the feet/frame of your bed.
