Mom Hacks

By GratefulHeartCollective

If you have kids (or grandkids) you NEED these hacks! Save time, money and energy!!

I’ve seriously used this hack since my first born was a toddler 8 years ago and I’ve never shared it with you! 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is the easiest way to make sure that your toddler or child does not roll out of their bed - and all you need is a pool noodle! 🥳

Grab your pool noodles now from the store while it’s still summer and give yourself some peace of mind while your kiddos sleep 😴

Would you try this one? Tell me in the comments 💁🏻‍♀️ and share with another parent who would love this hack!! 🫶

Did you know ⁉️ that you can make an “ice pack” out of mini marshmallows!!?? 🤯

We’ve been doing this #momhack for years with our kiddos and it seriously never gets old 🙌🏻

Instead of a stiff ice pack, or the gel ones that my toddler complains are “too cold” 🥶 a mini marshmallow ice pack gets cold enough to help with inflammation but still stays soft so it can form around the affected area.

Plus it can double as a little snack when they defrost…and sometimes a treat is really the best medicine 😋

🎯💦 MOM HACK ALERT 💦🎯

Need an easy summer activity that gets your kids outside, burns off energy, and costs less than $30 to set up (or less because you've probably already got most of the items required)?

You have to try this.

All you need:
🧲 Magnetiles
🧺 A metal drying rack
💦 A water squirter (or two for bonus chaos)

Stick the tiles on the rack and let your little sharpshooters blast them down! My kids are OBSESSED and I love that it’s screen-free, stress-free fun 🙌

☀️ Minimal mess
☀️ Easy setup
☀️ Big giggles

If you’ve ever made a balloon arch you know how tiring it can be for your fingers to tie all of those balloons 😣

After the puke-pocalypse that just went through our house 🤢 I had to bust out my old bed making hack.
The trick is if you layer 2 sets of bedding (mattress protector + sheet x2) if someone pees the bed or throws up, you just one to take off one layer and you're still covered for the rest of the night! No putting down a towel in the middle of the night because you're too tired to re-dress the bed (don't lie we've all done it)
Get your kiddos & yourself back to bed asap with this #momhack Bonus points if the mattress protectors are completely waterproof*

It's #legobuildday and so today's #momhack goes out to @lego!! &
My husband came up with this one, and it's honestly sooooo smart
Instead of working bag by bag, use a drawer organizer to separate the pieces by colour FIRST!
Then when you see a piece in the instructions that you need, you're only searching through pieces that are that colour, not the whole set! Brilliant!!

Only have short hanging space? No problem! Use this hanging hack!

If you’ve ever brought kiddos to sushi or ramen, you know they want to use the chopsticks too but it’s hard for their little hands 👧

Well not anymore with this super simple #momhack ! 🙌🏻

Just use the napkin at the table to wrap the tops of the chopsticks (leave a little gap between them) and then fold the napkin in half so it holds the chopsticks together. The tension caused by the folded napkin almost turns the chopsticks into tongs, which is WAY easier for little hands or those with fine motor mobility issues. 🥳

Would you try this one? Tell me in the comments 💁🏻‍♀️

And share with another family who loves to dine out with their kids!! 🫶

If you've got little kids, this is hands done one of the best ways to help encourage them in their writing —
Magic Copybooks!
They have indented letters, numbers and pictures to help your kiddos stay on track and gain confidence in their writing AND they are super fun because the ink DISAPPEARS over time!

#LTKfamily #LTKVideo #LTKkids

My favourite bedding hack - layer mattress protector then sheet, mattress protector then sheet! That way if your kiddos pee the bed or get sick 🤢 you just remove one sheet and mattress protector and you’re still covered for the rest of the night!!

Okay so full transparency, I strongly dislike doing painting with toddlers. I do it anyway sometimes because I know they love it, but I’m screaming inside the whole time 😱

BUT when I stumbled on the crayola color wonder light brush I just knew this would rid me of my painting woes 😅 and it did!!!

Now my toddler can paint and I don’t have to worry about the aftermath! 🎨

#LTKkids #LTKfindsunder50 #LTKGiftGuide

Back to school hack for stress free shoe shopping - don’t take your kids! Lol 😂

Seriously, have you ever tried to wrangle 4 kids in a department store while simultaneously trying to keep track of who is what size/what fits who? Not my idea of fun 🙃

All you need is this simple foot measuring tool at home. Write down all of your kids sizes (and yours if you want to gift yourself some new kicks 😉) and away you go!
