    Never thought about using a cooling rack for anything other than it's intended use. Now, I can't stop thinking about how many different ways to use it!! Great hack! The video did say to comment on other videos we'd like to see. Due to unfortunate events I've had to move back in with my mother. I'm currently having to share a room with my 2 daughters. Any tips, tricks & ideas on how to organize a parents shared room with kids would amazing!! I know it's not a typical/ideal living situation but when life's struggles hit, you do whatever you have to do to survive. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation & could benefit from these types of videos. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Fingers crossed on future vids! 😊

      I use book cases in one room side by side one face one way the other way this is a nice divider one person has shelves and a back to add hooks magnet board just make sure if using screw they don't damage other side
      Shoes boxes are great way to put on bookcases.
      Hanging over the door organizing bags see them dollars stores
      Bunk beds are best with mom has single bed or cot. For space. I have done this in the past. All the best keep your chin up.

      We are looking at you Wonderbot, and your sister channels. Honestly love the content of most of their videos but can’t tolerate the going forward for 5 minutes, then back tracking to the very beginning only to then tell the story. So much repetition.
      What I mean is, back story, the announcer chooses a story, then he starts it only to go back and explain about the origins of finding the story and then starts it, uses unrelated images that often confl....

    The sunglasses rack is genius!!!! I went immediately to dollar tree and was delighted to find two racks for a dollar. I also bought a twelve pack of stick on hooks. The second rack hangs horizontally and holds my earrings and a few shower curtain loops hang from the bottom for necklaces etc. Great idea, thanks!!!

    To always match the cover with the correct container, use a permanent marker to add a alphabet letter onto the container top & same letter on the bottom. Match tops /bottoms when storing & when adding the food. Marvelous never miss trick.
