I don’t have small kids but could not stop watching this video!! I do wish I knew this when my kid was younger. Great tips! I loved how the little girl was excited when getting her frozen (healthy) treats!! ❤

[@tazylab6233]

You are not alone on this one, I'm also wondering what I'm doing watching this

[@lucilenemeier8189]

Me too! I wish I had knew before! I'm waiting the grandchildren to be born in order to do it

[@angelmac5380]

Ditto!! These tips are also great for nannies or long term Babysitters!

[@kiramortwilson7411]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the feeding tips! My daughter has Down Syndrome and trying to teach her to eat on her own has been very hard. Maybe frozen bite-sized treats will better suit her fancy! I’m gonna give it a try! 🤞🏼

[@laurenm7669]

Look into Jenny Friedman nutrition, Kids Eat in Color, and the Friedman's book "Stories of Extremely Picky Eaters."

I hope it worked for you 2 🤍

[@LaurieFloodTeacher]

Tape around the caps of the Crayola markers was just such a brilliant idea. Imagine having 35 of those sets of markers to account for at the end of each class period.

[@joschmo1007]

She reminds me so much of my daughter when she was little. The days are long, but the years are so, so short. You can't enjoy them enough, and I am a stay-at-home homeschool mom, so I am around them all the time.

[@HealthyNut1]

Agree! I so wish I could rewind and redo all of it over again, even in the crazy busy times. My 3 children are in their 30’s now. I too, homeschooled. Oldest 2 1/2 years apart ~ the next two are 15 months apart … whew! No support. My mother had already passed. But … so many sweet times ~ memories. Soak it all up!!!

[@laurathepoet]

we homeschool too and it's so hard sometimes because there are almost no breaks unless we hire someone. Moving near my parents in the hopes that we get more support bc dang it we all need a break! right?

[@audreyh777]

The shoes in the pillow case for the dryer was my favorite one.

A few of these hacks I've incorporated with my children. Two or three Ill change the ingredients but now starting over again after 12 years, I'm excited to watch a video as awesome as this one, to get a refresher course! Great HACKS, well executed video! 👍👍😊😊❤️❤️

[@takeurpowerback2995]

You got me right away with the first hack. How ingenious is that… To put a little shoes inside of a pillowcase and hang it from the dryer door. Boy, I wish I knew that 30 some years ago when my first was born.❤❤

[@raynaysride]

Where were you 45 years ago 😂🤣🤣🤣😂, the frozen fruit & yougurt snacks, the water filled nipple for teething, the medicine dose in the nipple, A MAZ ING, well, I now have Grandkids (the youngest is 3 1/2), maybe some of this will work with him, the other ones are too old for some of this, GOOD JOB, thank you for making a Grandma's day ✌️🙏

[@12345ghost]

I know 😂😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@holyexperience1976]

I was three 45 years ago. I think I heard back then rum was used for teething pain. I can understand though why it is no longer acceptable.

[@kittyshell8506]

Um, I wasn't born yet, and half of these things I haven't thought of either... Are you trying to say you built a box with pretty Christmas lights for your children 45 years ago??? Or knew how to salvage a desk plastered with stickers? Seriously... Just plain rude and disrespectful... Also, there was no KZbin nor any Google back then either, soooo... Your inability to share this with new moms to share with new moms etc etc.... As a brand new Mom who has a little one really going through her teething... I wish more of you know-it-alls would quit judging and actually share the wealth of knowledge ... Making our babies suffer so you can laugh at us is beyond the cruelest thing ever ...

[@raynaysride]

[@Pressity1]

Tip from a mom of five: ditch the dryer! Seriously, you’re better off buying the stuff to be able to hang everything dry, even if you have to do so indoors because of climate/weather or local ordinances that prohibit clothes lines. The heat of the dryer permanently sets in stains you might miss or that didn’t come out completely in the first wash. If you hang dry, the stain has a chance of coming out in the next wash. If you live where you’re allowed to have an outdoor clothesline, GET ONE! Ever since I discovered that about the dryer, I’ve been able to save SO many of my kids clothes by using the sun to bleach out stubborn stains! Buy the spiral hangers for sheets and blankets, clip hangers for drying socks and underwear, and if you get the right kind of clothesline with holes in it, you can use pant hangers and regular hangers of the right sizes for your shirts, which will let you cram a whole lot of laundry on your lines, AND it allows clothes to dry in the right shape so that your hung/line dried clothes are indistinguishable from tumble dried clothes. It’s cheaper in the long run as well. When I realized all of this, I gave up on my dryer and knocked a sizable chunk off of my gas and electric bills!

[@JustHeAndMe7733]

These are all excellent hacks. Thank you for sharing them with us. As for the ending note... Yes, tomorrow will be hard like today was. Tomorrow may be difficult at times. Tomorrow may even have challenging moments. As a parent, you get rewarded as well. You get the reward of the love of your child in return for the love you give to them. You get the reward of the joy of watching them learn and grow as you teach them about life. You get the reward of the inner peace and the deep satisfaction of knowing that you are doing your best to teach your child how to be the best human that you possibly can. You are showing your child love that they will in turn share with everyone in their world for the rest of their lives. These are precious and priceless things that only a parent experiences. These things make the hard, difficult, and challenging days worth it. These are the gifts that you can reflect on at the end of the day, no matter how hard the day was. You can look forward to all of tomorrow's challenges with all of the love, joy, and satisfaction that comes along with those challenges. No matter how hard, how difficult, or how challenging a day is; it is also full of rewards. As you experience the gift of parenthood and watch your precious treasure of a child grow into the young person that they could only become because of the love that you gave them and the life lessons that you taught them; you get to live in the rewards in every moment, in every hug, in every "I love you mommy or daddy", in every laughter filled smile, and in every time you get to watch as they sleep peacefully and safe because of you. That's a reward in itself. Enjoy all of your tomorrows!

You can do it. Each day is a new day and trust me! They do grow up faster than you'll ever realize, it will become a blur and before you know it they will be all grown up with children of their own! Hang in there and Happy Mother's day!

[@Gill-pc9nm]

For me, my experience was that it was hard and wonderful in equal measure - but all of it so exhausting! Now, as a gran, I have discovered that the hardest days of all, are those when they've all grown up and you miss them being all little and needy and adorable - and then the most wonderful days come when the grandchildren arrive and you have those days back again, but it isn't a day in, day out kind of thing - though still pretty exhausting lol! 🥰

[@holyexperience1976]

​@@Gill-pc9nm I miss my baby boy for sure! I'm surprised he called me late last week asking to spend a couple days with me so he was not alone after his girlfriend of 5 years left him. I did not see him much as he was at work and sleeping, as he also balances school 3 days a week.

[@Gill-pc9nm]

@holyexperience1976 Aww. Well it's nice he has his mum to turn to, a sure sign that you did well by him. A bit of quiet time where he's safe and cared for will do him the world of good. I'm sure you'll enjoy having him around again, even if he is asleep - it's the only time you can be sure they're not getting into trouble, whatever their age! ☺️

[@alabasterboxcreations]

It’s a reality check. Warm and fuzzy is not going to make tomorrow easier but these hacks just might; put some prayer with it and make a go of it! You got this!!!

[@usaroxx8085]

OMG The phone in the back of seat!!!! THE BALLOONS...? The Markers!!!!!!

[@organicsunshine9853]

Very helpful! My only question is, what did you do with the Tylenol after putting it into the nipple? Freeze it? Add milk? I’d love to know the answer to this hack, my little guy hates taking medicine through a syringe!

[@jenninemorel7693]

I'm gonna make that box 📦 🤪 fort for myself 😅

I love the reminder at the end! 🤭

[@holyexperience1976]

How brilliant some of these tips can apply to us adults as well! Like, I use baby wipes to clean my sensitive skin for the pass, maybe 4 or 5 years? When I first saw the popsicles, I thought maybe for space saving reasons until I saw it is to cut in half. Anyone who is guardian to canines who mess with toilet paper, an idea for you as well. I no longer have an itty bitty on me anymore but, 😭😭, grown man on me ( no, he is not allowed to be 21 this year ), but glad I watched. No grandbabies either. But some I learned for myself, and can send to my eldest niece for my very first great-niece. I am sooooo excited becoming a great-aunt even though I may not see them much due to distance. I can also send to my brother to give to his live-in partner so she can use on their baby who will be 1 later this year. Edit: I forgot about the clothes packing. Even when too warm for coat or hoodie, I will try a new way to pack for myself, see if I can space save.

A couple things: 1) it sounds like you have a bird? If so I’m happy to see you aren’t using a teflon pan because the fumes from teflon can kill them. 2) your dog would love some frozen yogurt treats.
