1. Put the condiments under the hotdog instead of on top to keep from a messy meal.

2. Use a cupcake liner to contain popsicle spills.

3. Get some dollar store shower caddies for snacks on the go or a fun movie night.

4. Contain a taco/burrito mess by serving in a mason jar.

5. Use a pizza cutter to cut any food into bite-size pieces.

This is so much easier than using a fork to individually cut each piece!

6. Freeze leftover waffle or pancake batter in an ice cube tray and store in plastic freezer bags.

On crazy mornings you can toss them in the 350 degree oven before you jump in the shower.

It makes breakfast cookies you can dip in syrup or toss with cinnamon sugar.

7. Double your pancake/waffle batch and put them in the freezer so your kids have an easy breakfast to heat up.

8. Use frozen marshmallows instead of a cold pack for those bumps and bruises.

The marshmallows aren’t as intense as the ice.

9. Freeze your kid’s favorite drink and put it in their lunch box instead of a cold pack.

1. Keep binkies clean in your purse using portion cups.

No more crumb-encrusted binkies over here!

2. When baby has a poop-splosion, take the onesie off from the shoulders down, not up over her head.

The shoulders are meant to stretch. (Duh, why have I never done it like that!?)

3. Keep diapers and wipes in every room your kids frequent.

This way, you don’t have to always lug your kids upstairs to their room to change them. So smart!!

We also keep wipes on all of our floors to easily clean up messes.

4. Use Velcro cord ties to keep baby socks on.

Those babies like to kick!

The cord tie should never be too tight on baby and don’t use these on a baby who could take it off.

5. Tie those poopy diapers up in a scented baggie before throwing in the diaper genie.

Double bag if it’s really bad. It helps immensely with the smell.

With our last baby, the diaper pail was making our nursery smell terrible, so this mom hack may be the trick we need!

6. Bouncing on a big exercise ball with your newborn helps to calm them almost immediately.

It’s worth a try if they’re fed, burped, and changed and still unhappy.

7. Put water in a binky and freeze it for instant teething relief.

8. Use a laundry basket to keep your babies from falling in the bathtub and to keep toys from floating away.

9. Cut those tight elastics out of your little girl’s hair with a seam ripper.

*Make sure the seam ripper is only cutting the elastic and doesn’t catch any hair.
