Mom to Mom – Mom Hacks

Today on Mom to Mom, we have a few hacks to make your life easier!

I have a few of my favorite life hacks as a mom that I have been using since my kiddos were little, and hopefully these help you out. Also, if you have any wonderful hacks that you’ve used, feel free to message us up on our Mom to Mom Facebook page and we’ll make sure that we get those into rotation.

Up first I have these cups. We always know our kiddos love to get several cups down. Heck, my kids are 9, 16 and they still get them. Sometimes it’s hard for them to reach. If you want them to be independent, all you have to do is grab a cup and put a magnet on it. I got these little round magnets off of Amazon. Stick it on the back of the cup, and then put it on the refrigerator so they’re able to fix their own drink right there. Super easy!

If your kids ever get booboos, like bumping their head or scraping their knee, I like to use marshmallows instead of an ice pack! put a plastic bag filled with marshmallows in the freezer. It’s not as harsh as an ice pack would be and it’s super easy!

I also use these shower caddies from the Dollar Tree. You can have snack night, movie night, all kinds of stuff. And in here, put their snacks or some popcorn. It’s really easy. You can even take it with you in the car and throw their fast food in here, and it keeps them from dropping it all over the floor.

The last one is quite possibly one of my favorites! If your kids are learning their right from the left and trying to put their shoes on the correct foot, you want to take some stickers, cut the sticker in half, and then just put it on each side. You teach them to match the stickers when they put their shoes on, and it’s that easy.

Again, if you have any wonderful hacks, please message us and you might see that on the next Mom to Mom!
