The Internet is full of parenting hacks, some of which are amazing. Many others wander off into completely ridiculous territory. For example, “vacuum ponytail.”
By no means do I consider myself to be an expert in the arena of parenting. I’m just muddling through and trying to figure everything out like the rest of us, but here are some useful bits I’ve put together along the way.



Tape a large piece of paper to the floor, and leave out a box of crayons for your kids to colour or draw whenever they like.


Keep cups in a low cupboard or drawer so that your children can help themselves to a drink from a young age.
I’d love to hear some of your best parenting hacks and life solutions too – post in the comments!
