| Prep the night before. Choose clothes, pack lunches, set your coffeemaker to auto-brew. Investing 20 minutes at night will save you so much time and stress in the morning! |
| Start your day on a happy note by turning on some fun music. |
| Is your kid always getting up too early? Try a "Time to Wake" clock that will light up green when it's time to get up. |
| Kid having a tantrum because (s)he can't find the {insert favorite cartoon character} cup? Add magnets to the cup and stick it to the fridge for easy access. |
| Dessert for breakfast? Try freezing bananas and grapes - they're much sweeter frozen and your kid will think they’re eating dessert. |
| Help your toddler remember which shoe goes on which foot by cutting a sticker in half and putting them inside the shoes. |
| Keep an "I forgot" stash in your car with things like hair ties, Band-Aids, lotion, cereal bars, wipes, mouthwash and water. |
| Headed to the supermarket? Snap a pic of your fridge and freezer to remember what you have and what you need. |
| Running errands? Keep your kid busy with a car kit and on the go snack table (look it up – it’s a lifesaver): Include Melissa and Doug Water Wow books, snacks, dry erase books, stickers and cars or mini animal figures. |
| If you're packing a lunch or a picnic, wrap your sandwich in a paper towel before putting it into a Ziploc bag or storage container - bye bye soggy sandwiches! |
| If your kid is going through a picky stage, use an ice tray to offer a variety of colorful foods and watch them disappear! |
| Set up an activity for your child while you prepare dinner: ask them to create something out of Play-Doh, Magna-Tiles, Legos or crafts. They can tell you all about it when they’re done. |
| Place a wooden spoon across the top of a boiling pot of water to keep it from bubbling over. |
| Takeout for dinner? Turn on your car’s seat warmer to keep the food hot. |
| Eating veggies an everyday battle? Turn it into a game by having your child roll dice to find out how many more bites he or she needs to take. |
| Slide a cupcake liner onto a popsicle’s stick for a sweet treat minus the sticky fingers. |
| Bath toys getting moldy? Use a hot glue gun to close the holes in squeezy toys. |
| Use a laundry basket in the bath for your little one – it’ll help keep them from slipping and their toys from floating away. |
| Keep your the bedtime routine consistent, short and whatever you do – turn off the TV. The light emitted from the TV and electronic devices signals to our brain that it’s time to wake up, rather than time to wind down. |
| Time to unwind: Wrap your wine or beer bottle in a wet towel and stick it in the freezer for 5 minutes for the perfectly cold drink to end your day. |
| Need to remember something for tomorrow? Send yourself a text and open it in the morning. |
