Moms: The most creative people in the world.
They deal with everything from diapers to tantrums, which leaves them very little time for basic tasks — including showering.
These clever moms came up with ways to steal showers, DIY teething rings, and so much more! You go, moms.
This mom figured out how to make laundry easier.
“Keeping socks together so they don’t get stolen by the sock monster in my washing machine.”
Um, can all socks come with these? Because I’m in my 30s and still lose track of my socks in there.
Need a shower with a newborn?
Bring their tub into the shower! Mom and baby both get to experience the warmth and comfort of the shower, and mom finally gets a chance to get that shower she’s been dying for. This is a win/win hack!
Need a phone stand? Grab some LEGO.
Not only is this hilarious, it’s also genius.
“The kids can drop it and break it as many times as they like because it’s super easy to rebuild.”
I mean, that’s the most compelling argument you could make to a parent.
This mom game-ified getting ready.
This is the invention of the smartest woman who has ever lived. If you give your kids a challenge, they will absolutely rise to it, right? So challenge them to get ready as fast as possible in the morning.
This mom does popcorn right.
“For as long as I know my mom would use scissors to cut the top off popcorn bags so you didn’t need a bowl.”
This is way better than sticking your hand in the top of the bag’s opening and getting covered in butter!
Need to measure some liquid?
“No shot glass?! No problem! Use your baby’s bottle to measure ounces.”
This mom is living in the year 3000 with this hack. When in doubt, measure it out. Or something.
You can have your cake and eat it too!
And by cake, I mean those gorgeous glass ornaments you used to hang on your Christmas tree before you had kids. Choose somewhere VERY high up that they can’t reach and hang them up without fear of them being broken by tiny baby hands!
This mom understands having adult kids.
“My mom has a crab-shaped candy dish that she filled with ibuprofen.”
There is nothing like a mom who understands adult children need ibuprofen more than they need candy. That is why I also have a ibuprofen dish, but it’s not nearly as cool as this one!
No more fingers in sockets!
Got a kid who sticks their fingers in absolutely everything? Not a problem. A Huggies wipe lid fits perfectly over an electrical socket! This is so genius that I just sent to my sister, whose 9 month-old LOVES to stick her chubby little hands in sockets. Babies are weird.
Duct tape is always the solution.
“This little #MomHack has saved my sanity over the last 5 years. We have taped bubbles all over the place. On chairs. On this post about 100 times (note the sun spots from taped bubbles of yore). On our porch.”
No more spilling bubbles or crocodile tears!
Resourceful moms >>>
Sure, you could haul all your groceries home the hard way. Or you could save your arms from the pain of bag straps and just bring a kid’s wagon with you for the groceries!
Whether you’re walking home or hauling bags up from the car, this hack will save you so much pain.
Glitter organization has never been easier.
Do your kids love glitter, and does glitter love them right back? Yeah, that’s a mess waiting to happen. This genius salt and pepper shaker hack will hopefully help cut down on glitter mess!
Save your ornaments!
Another Christmas tree hack, because why not? If you don’t want little fingers grabbing at the ornaments, tinsel, or even the tree, set up a baby gate around the base of the tree! Now that’s a genius idea.
DIY some teething rings.
If you have a baby that is teething, this hack might help soothe their poor little gums! Wet a washcloth, twist it into a muffin tin, and freeze it for 15-30 minutes. Baby will love it! Or throw it. Either one.
I love moms and their love for wine.
Out on vacation, or just don’t have a wine stopper? No problem. Grab a cheese stick and jam it in there. The best part? It actually works! Moms are so damn innovative.
