      @mrsfriedmike educators are amazing people. The really great ones are so underappreciated. It takes a special soul to teach young minds. Way back in the early 2000's, I wished I had a way to reach my previous teachers. Sad thing is, the ones who were in their 50's or 60's then are quite likely passed. There is a special place in my heart for all teachers. So, even though I don't personally know you nor did I learn from you, I want to thank you for educating young minds for 30 beautiful years. 💐❤️❤️

    Yes to teacher gifts! I get told I’m “extra” all the time for doing them, but it is legit the LEAST we can do. And it could be as simple as a snack or treat to enjoy. Beginning of the year, holidays, birthdays and teacher appreciation week/end of the year are all great times to say “Thank you!” Teachers wear so many hats for our kids, and they are under so much more stress now than ever before. So, yes, bless the teachers!

    I have one child still in school. Her nearest sibling graduated high school in 2021. She is starting grade 8 (!) this year! I put a pile of leftover (brand-new) extra school supplies out for her to check up against her list. Then forward to her dad and I , her list of what is still needed to begin her 8th year. It is not as much fun, as it was when there were 3 kids going back to school together.

    One suggestion I have learned from years of doing it, about the cash....give them ones and maybe a five instead of the 10. Most of the time what they want is a dollar or 2 and it's much easier and faster than trying to get change. Also, some vending machines get to where they will only take cash if you have the exact amount. But great idea and they will be very happy at some point to have all of this!

    Hi Kim, You're doing great but FYI the flat closet organizer hanger goes over the closet door, not on the closet curtain rod. So one for hanging on the closet door and one for the closet hanger rod. Thats why you will see the metal hooks on the flat one are kinda square and not round like a hanger hook. That's how you get to use both. :) I just love you you totally crack me up.

    Fellow central Floridian here!!
    Kim, as a teacher, your gifts are GREAT! Maybe it’s my hot take, but the Flair pens are second tier. The Sharpie pens and Papermate InkJoy colored pencils are my personal favorites.
    I love watching you and your family. Your silliness always brings a smile to my face.

    I would recommend a foldable brush with mirror. You can put a couple hair ties in their as well
