So to make life easy for all the busy moms, we have gone ahead and compiled a list of 10 parenting hacks that are actually useful, save money, time, and sanity but at the same time do not take too much effort to implement.

1. Make Bath Time Safe: To make bath time fun for fussy kids, try this. Make your child bathe in the laundry basket inside the tub. That way the toys won’t float away, they can keep playing while you can quickly give them a bath. Remember to use a baby shower cap for washing the hair so that the water and shampoo doesn’t touch the baby’s face

1. Monster Spray: To prevent kids from getting scared of monsters at night, prepare a monster spray. Take an old detergent spray bottle and fill it with water. Decorate the exterior with some monster pictures made of paper, label it and spray a few drops under the bed every night to keep the monsters away

1. Shoe Caddy Storage: If you have a shoe caddy you no longer use, hang it behind your front car seat. That way you can store games, food, toys and much more for a longer trip with your child. If you have a large collection of bath toys and are worried about the storage space for the wet ones, hang a shower basket over the shower curtain rod. If you have too many activity books and are running out of shelf space, use a dish drying rack to organize them along with your art supplies

1. Keep them Busy While You Play : Every time you have kids disturbing you in the middle of an interesting video game? Try this. Give them fake remote and make them sit with you so that they feel they are playing too, while you can have hours of endless fun with them by your side!

1. Muffin Cup Dripper : To prevent kids messing up while having ice cream, you can insert a muffin cup through the stick. That way they can enjoy without getting sticky and you don’t need to stress over a messy floor. If the muffin cup doesn’t work, use a paper plate. If you want to serve watermelons in a creative way, slice them in triangles, and stick Popsicle sticks at the bottom. It looks great and is easy to eat; kids will love it. Similarly to prevent juice from spilling over from a tetra pack, lift the side flap up and have the kid hold that while taking the first few sips

1. Prevent The Doors From Locking: Kids often get locked in and to prevent that, use a rubber band across the knobs in the front and back of the door. That way they can be safe, but this works only till the time your kids don’t learn to remove the rubber band. Once they learn that you have to think of something better
