Let’s face it: Parenting isn’t easy! With that in mind, here is a list of a few easy tips and tricks that will save you some time and make the day run a little smoother. You will spend less energy cleaning and organizing, so you can spend more quality time with your little one.
- Put a rubber band around a pump soap dispenser to limit the amount of soap that comes out for little hand washers.
- Keep a flip-top lid cereal container in the car to keep trash contained.
- Throw a bag of marshmallows in the freezer for boo-boos. Super soft and not too cold!
- Use press-and-seal plastic wrap to create an instant art smock on any T-shirt.
- Those auto-flushing toilets in a public restroom can be scary for a little person. Carry a pack of sticky notes with you and place one over the sensor.
- When in a busy public place, take a picture with your phone in case your kiddo gets lost so you can easily recall what he or she was wearing.
- For potty training kiddos, use masking or painters tape to put a mark on the wall to show how much toilet paper to use.
- Use tape to secure bubble wands to a chair, a porch post, etc. to prevent the inevitable spilling.
- Freeze baby-sized portions of food in an ice cube tray for the perfect serving size every time.
- Who has time to wipe down individual Legos®? Clean toys like bath toys, blocks, etc., in the dishwasher. Quick and painless!
