Life hacks you can ACTUALLY use!

[@gramcc514]

I so enjoy your videos & love the personal messages at the end. I have a life hack for you! I'll be 60 this week & only heard about this in the last year! If you've got a stuck on mess in a pan or casserole dish. Fill with hot soapy water & an unused dryer sheet & wait 30 minutes. Empty & wash... No need to scrub as all that mess comes right out! Be blessed!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Wow! I'd heard that before... but never believed it worked!!! Thanks!

[@peggyblackwell2975]

I am not at all crafty but love organization and efficiency. Love these ideas!

[@veronicamuscarella9524]

Thank you for acknowledging fur baby mom's. It means so much especially to someone who was not able to have her own babies.♥️

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You are so welcome! 💙

[@janetcovington6938]

Happy Mother’s Day to you! I believe your girls are quite fortunate to have a talented, hardworking,and kind mom.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you so much! 🌷🌺🌸

[@nancypridham6556]

I love the tape idea. Have never seen it done this way. I normally fold the end back to create a tab that’s easy to pull, really like the one handed method. Thank you.

[@sandyhall247]

Just want to say thank you. I am a wife, mother and caregiver So YES you are right. HUGS

[@joanngrenier833]

This video touched my heart. You are such a genuine lovely lady and I truly appreciate the comments about being a Mom. I lost my fur baby back in Nov 2019. It was the most devastating experience for me. I've never lost a child, but this experience was the closest I've come to it. Both my parents and my brother have passed, but these losses did not compare to the loss of my dog, who was very much like a child. Thank you again for your comments and your sweet countenance. Your videos are well done and always look so professionally made. You have really become a favorite for me.💞

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm so sorry about your fur baby, Jo Ann. Yes, the hardest I've ever cried and biggest loss to my heart so far was losing my last dog. They ARE our children. xoxoxxo

[@elisevautour6292]

I LOVE these hacks so much. Thanks again sunshine. Hugs sent your way.... Including domino. Keep shining on. Much continued success Norrine. 🌴💜

[@jeannekozuszek4666]

Amen. Any mom any way. God bless you all

[@marshanotmarcia7433]

I LOVE the USB cord hack! I discovered it a few years ago. I keep a silver and black permanent marker with my pencils. As soon as we get a new item, BAM, it gets instantly marked. I also write on the large end, the name of the item. This way we know which cord goes with goes with what. LIFE SAVER!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Bam! I love that!

[@pativins8114]

Amen to Mom and Wife’s 😘

Wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day! I always take away so many wonderful ideas from your videos. Poor ole Dominoe has had a rough week! Hope this week brings smiles and happiness!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you so much!

[@shandy6870]

Well here's another Wow! comment for the tape idea. What a simple fix that is. I will say that the seam ripper idea is one of my favorite hacks I frequently use, especially when my vacuum picks up the sewing threads and cat hair. Happy Mother's Day Norrine. Have an awesome day tomorrow!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you! You too ❤️

Great tips! The tape fold over, and I didn't know there were velcro command strips! Game changer! Marking plugs. And especially turning over a wooden shelf to prevent it from bowing! Wow! Thank you! 😊❤️

[@minikraut]

Thanks for the USB tip - so simple, so useful. I have also always been flipping the end of tape over on itself, but the 45° method makes it so much neater.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pattyharrison6386]

Awwwww poor pup, My mom tells a great story about when she was a small child she brought home a litter of baby skunks thinking they were kittens. My grandmother walked in and hollered who brought skunks into my house, my mom was saying but mommy there just kitties ❣❣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

OH MY GOSH!!!! LOL

[@nancypridham6556]

Did she get to keep the babies???

[@sherylgoins4855]

Bless your heart and your fur baby. We don’t have skunks in my area, so I’m very thankful for that. I was going to get the things I told you I was sending to you packaged up and take to the post office last Friday, but we had rain most of the day. Today is Monday and trying to get some housework done. Im going to get it gathered and get it in the mail to you tomorrow. I got mine all planted. Told my grown kids I was starting a succulent garden and guess what I got. About 7 more different kinds, But none like the ones you sent. I was so happy! I’ll get you a picture of it tomorrow. You take care and God Bless.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's awesome!!!! I can't wait to see it!!!!

[@nancykubik8960]

Great tips, thanks. Also, to get the skunk smell that lingers in house, put out small bowls of coffee beans or ground coffee throughout the house. This really helps a lot. Happy Mother's Day!!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Does it count if its with super hot water? Just kidding.... I'll try it! The lingering smell is driving me crazy!

[@karencripe7949]

I didn't know the tape hack! Thanks for sharing the hacks and your week! 😊 Happy Mother's Day! 🌹

[@michelleweems318]

Bless your heart! You’ve been thru the wringer this week. Hope next week is better and Happy Mother’s Day!

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

And I noticed you used binder clips to hold your cords so they don't fall behind furniture...which is a terrific hack too. When my dog got skunked and came in to roll in the carpet, I found that Febreeze did an excellent job neutralizing the odor.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Ok, I NEVER imagined Fabreeze could work!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@deeaguilar2183]

Oh my goodness what a few days you've had! I've had skunk problems myself. (they moved in under my apt, thought it was my kids rooms. ) lol Some of your tips were new to me loved the tape one, and the flipping of shelves. Thank you! Have a very Happy Mothers Day! Tell your kids I think their Mom is awesome! (My foster Mom raised over 2 thousand of us, adopted 19 of us, she was amazing. I followed by raising 250 fosters, and 3 of my own. I'm a disabled/retired English Teacher now, and so miss having my babies around. .. )

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You just made me cry. That is amazing!!!! I wish my home matched the size of my heart.... I'd love to be a loving home for transition kids. Maybe someday still. Happy Mothers Day to you!!!! You are my new hero. 💙

[@deeaguilar2183]

Thank you so much

[@lourdescintron4882]

Great hacks! Since I am fur baby mom and my lips have had impromptu meetings with skunks, I always keep the ingredients you mentioned (dishwashing soap, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) around. It has saved the day! Happy Mother's Day to you and all your followers!🌻🌻

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Great tip! You can bet I will from now on! LOL

Happy Mother's Day to you too. I hope your day is wonderful. For over 40 years I went out for Mother's Day and this will be my first to have to cook. I am not really happy about that but it is what it is. Thanks for all the tips today. Oh by the way my dog years ago also got skunked and it was not pleasant at all that smell was in my house for months. Hopefully yours will not last as long. Enjoy your day!!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not months!!!! Well, at least the weather is nice here and we can have windows open.

[@deannamullins4080]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful hacks and your eventful week. Poor Domino! And while a new dryer was probably the last thing you planned on buying right now, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it... especially when you get to use it to erase the lingering “aroma” from Domino’s rendezvous with Pepé Le Pew!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

So true!! 🌻

Happy Mother's day to you as well!!! I miss going to our parks as well, my son was so hoping that our parks would be open as well because he and my hubby were gonna surprise me with a picnic lunch in my happy place,but I feel every where is my happy place as long as my family is healthy and happy and we can spend it together in our living room watching a movie together or our deck eating my favorite food ,and talking and laughing together that is all I need! I just miss seeing my Mom, she lives 3 hours away ( she is 83 and is in good health accept for her bad back) and we never miss a Mother's day celebration weekend but this year we have and it is so hard. But hopefully before the summer is over we can go visit her and celebrate then. Thanks for the helpful tips! Hugs from Lancaster,Pa!😘💓🙏💐🌹🌻🌼🌷🌸🌺

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I love your outlook, Roberta! Perspective is everything. 🌷🌺🌸 Have a lovely weekend.

[@robertadunn1572]

@@TheCraftyOrganizer thank You! It is supposed to be spring but this weekend in Pa. It is winter temps. Today it is 40° but with the wind factor it feels like 30° BRRRR! We need warm weather ,we have beautiful sunshine and beautiful blue skies but it is so deceiving to look out and see such a gorgeous day and open the door and be blasted with such cold air!! Ugh!! Oh well at least it isn't raining or snowing! Hugs!!😘💐

[@pcfloresnm]

Great tips. Poor Domino. That smell is so awful. The comedic timing in life is what makes us laugh so we don't cry! Thanks for the beautiful Mother's Day tribute. Happy Mother's Day to you as well.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Mother's Day tribute.... Thanks for feeling my pain - and laughing with me. 🌻

[@suzum.9713]

My turn: My sister had gone to work one day and smelled a horrible skunk scent all day. She and the other employees couldn't figure out where it came from. When my sister got home from work, my mom told her our dog was sprayed by a skunk the previous night---my sister realized that the dog had come in and slept on her bed that night. So SHE had been the source of the smell at work that she had been complaining about. Lol

[@sylviapearson301]

Great and useful hack ideas thank you for sharing. I live in the country on about 47 acres and my dogs get sprayed by skunks two maybe three times a year. I have use the Peroxide, baking soda and Dawn dish soap for the last several years I’ve never added vinegar. Please be careful to avoid the dogs eyes. Thank you for sharing the mom video. Happy Mother’s Day and God bless 🌸🌸🌸

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thanks for the reminder.... I was careful, but (of course) he got sprayed in the face/mouth. Poor little boy. It must be beautiful living on all of the land! Enjoy!

[@wordscrafter]

Flipping the shelves!!!!! What an ingenious solution!!!!!! Thanks :)

[@juliekelley4573]

I have used a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to get the smell off my dogs when they get sprayed. Also sprinkle baking soda on your carpet, let sit for a bit and then vacuum up. It works! Skunk smell gone.

[@andih5895]

Good luck getting the smell out if fabric, nobody I know of had it work. Everyone says best to just throw them away because the oil never goes away. Happy Mother's Day to you too.

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Helpful ideas, Norrine! TFS! Guess we all have skunk stories, don't we? One tried to come into our house in Michigan through our dryer vent at 4am. Scent was picked up by our furnace and carried through the whole house. Awful smell, burned our eyes. Our middle and high schoolers went to school not realizing the smell was embedded in their coats and clothes, and classmates made fun of them. I was teaching and my assistant didn't say a word to me---until a week later when I shared our story. (By then, it was kind of funny....kind of.) It was then I learned all week long my 'perfume fragrance' had been Eeeewww de Skunk and my assistant had been too nice to say anything. How embarrassing! Smh. After hearing your story, I think I could have had it a lot worse. 😝 Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for the nice tribute! Air hugs! From Cheryl in AZ

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I feel like we have a green cloud surrounding our house!!! It will pass - and the story is hilarious to tell..... LATER! Thanks for feeling my pain - and laughing with me. 🌻
