Here are some great parenting hacks I found on Youtube:

This is a great one as those dress up shoes are particulary dangerous and slippery.

Brilliant idea, perfect for renters too.

Fast way to disinfect the toys!

This is a much less messy way for kids to eat an icecream.

Wish I’d thought of this one, I’ve had a few kids fall out of bed.

I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked “Is this the right foot?” This is a simple and easy way for kids to get their own shoes on the right foot.

Love the Ice Block idea, nothing worse than sticky hands and dripping ice blocks, kids get just as frustrated as adults.

These are fantastic ideas. I’ve used a tightly rolled blanket instead of the pool noodle on the edge of the bed, just what I had on hand at the time. I love the idea of stickers inside the shoes, but I’d expect my little one to sit there and peel them off every time.

Thanks for these. From use – the pool noodle under fitted sheet works great and was much better and cheaper than a bed rail.

The cupcake liner idea is genius and I never thought of using the dishwasher to sanitise toys which is a fantastic idea.

  pool noodles are really handy and stop the doors from slamming if you slice a cut into one side and put it over the edge of the door.
