6 Wonderfully Useful Parent Hacks
Who doesn’t love a good lifehack? It’s an inelegant yet clever solution to a day-to-day problem. If you Google the term, you’ll find hacks that teach you everything from how to open a banana properly to ways you can use coconut water to save a life.
Being a parent is one of the toughest jobs in the world, and any little tip, be it quirky or unconventional, can work wonders in making family life a little easier. That’s where parent hacks come in.
I’ve scoured the web and found 6 amazing parent hacks for the would-be resourceful parent.

- It's funny how a basic kitchen staple could have so many uses. Have a roll of Press 'N Seal wrap in your drawer that you hardly ever use? Use it on your kid for a quick and easy paint smock. Put a roll in your diaper bag to have a clever makeshift bib or a restaurant placemat.
- This hack is perfect for the parent who's suddenly found themselves buried in their child's wonderful art creations. Scan their art onto your computer, and piece them together to make a beautiful collage showcasing their best work.
- Simple and clever - using your over the door clear shoe organizer
for your child's legos or other small toys is genius. It will save you from plenty of those toy-embedded-in-foot moments.
- Who knew that there were multiple uses for magnetic knife holders? You can get these magnetic bars
for less than 15 bucks. They make for cool and imaginative storage for your son's toy cars or any other small metal toys.
- I love this one. Here's an exciting and creative alternative to your standard toy box. Use wall garden baskets to store toys and books.
- Who wants to buy that old expensive smelly stuff when you can make your own?
What you need:
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon cream of tartar(optional for improved elasticity)
