For easy and nutritious meals, I prep frozen pouches of pureed fruits and veggies that I can easily thaw and serve to my tot. It's a life-saver on busy days when we don't have time to cook from scratch.

Also, command hooks placed at kid height can make returning toys and clothes a breeze. My child loves to hang up his own coat and backpack, and it teaches him independence too!

Having a designated 'dumping' zone is my tip for an easier life as a parent.

When you enter the house, you can simply throw all the random kid-related items like hats, gloves, small toys etc. into one designated basket near the entryway. No more searching for the other shoe or missing gloves! It also saves time on the daily morning rush out of the house. Everything is in one place and the kids know where to look too.

Another idea which I'm proud of - making themed baskets for crafts. Each craft basket has a different theme with all relevant materials included e.g., a beach-themed basket with sand art supplies, buckets, sieves etc. , and an ice and snow basket with white and blue crafted pom-poms, glitters, and glue. It keeps the craft corner organized and is also an easy and exciting way for them to set up their own little arts station without my help!
