15 Hacks for Every Mom Around the Home: Household Hacks!
As a mom of 5 kids, I’m always glad to learn about more hacks for an easier day. How about you? Here’s some fun ones to make things go a bit smoother! Enjoy!
1. I’m glad I’m not the only one that this bothers! Use clothes pins for your toothbrushes to keep them off of dirty counters.
2. Instead of buying the expensive scarf organizers, why not make your own?
3. Don’t have tons of floor space but need some more bookshelves? Try adding shelves on the sides of your dresser.
4. Do your cup holders get full of crumbs and gunk? Make things easy by using some silicon cup cake liners as inserts. Easy clean up!
5. Make a nice outdoor hangout lounge for your baby. Get the yard work done while giving the baby a shady place to play!
6. Do the balls roll around your basement? Here’s a great ball storage solution!
7. Don’t have enough floor space for the laundry? Put the shelves and baskets on the wall!

Do suction cups REALLY hold a backpack? I can’t imagine that it would be able to hold a backpack with books inside
Lori says
I also used to use the silverware caddy from an old dishwasher to tote around water bottles and snacks, etc. The square shaped one that was more basket like was perfect. Also, dish scrubber brushes with handles that you could fill with soap. Go “play” in the bathtub kids and start scrubbing the tub and walls…
Trish says
I like what I have seen today, and look forward to what you will send me. Also interested in free printables.
Katie says
I was able to get you subscribed. Watch your email for more details. Thanks!

Are you kidding me? Using plastic cups with sparklers? That is the stupidest and most unsafe thing I have ever heard of. Now I know where my sister in law got that idea and ended up severely burning my nieces hand when the super heated burning METAL melted the plastic directly onto snd into my nieces skin. Any parent who doesn’t use common sense and tries this should be charged with child endangerment. The few sparks that might get on the kids hand when using sparklers does very little to no damage, compared to molten plastic stuck to skin.
Missy says
I tried the solo cup sparkler hand protector and it melted. My three year old nephew was nearly burned.
Ginger says
Oh, I see how the posts work, they only get approved if they are in favor of you. If it is something derogatory then you don’t let others see it, That is a little one sided isn’t it?
Ginger says
It would have been nice if you had added my original post so everyone else would know what I was talking about. Just so everyone will know this is my original post:
I think it is pretty low of you to post that you are giving a certain number of hacks and when we click on them we only get about half. To get the rest we have to share, REALLY? Next thing you know, we will have to pay for them. I have seen most of them and the ones I haven’t will eventually come up with no requirements. It’s not like you came up with these yourself and have exclusive rights to them. I will be surprised if this gets approved.
Dem says
Stop being so rude. on here.
Carol says
Ginger, do not fear, I can see all of your rude comments…from the 1st to the last. All here.
Diana says
Shared this but the rest of this DID NOT open!
Katie says
Oh darn! We’re going to look into that and see if we can figure out what’s going on. Thanks for letting us know!
Ida says
Very interesting, I love making practical and unusual things, one of a kind.
Lissa says
Do you use regular sized cupcake Liners???? Love this idea!
Katie says
Yes, regular sized. Thanks!
Mom says
Only concern, using suction cups, weighted, could put unnecessary weight/tension on the window. Might be dangerous over time. Thanks!
