OP has some great ideas here! Parenting is a challenging journey full of ups and downs, but those little hacks can make a world of difference! TS's focus on meal prep and organisation is spot on. It's such a time saver and reduces the stress of deciding what to cook each day.

One simple yet impactful trick I'd add is creating a visual schedule or routine chart for your kids. Visual schedules can help children understand their daily routine and encourage them to follow it independently. Whether it's a checklist or a pictured timeline, it provides them with a sense of expectancy and control, plus reduces those tedious "When are we eating?" questions!

It also teaches them some basic time management skills and responsibility for their own tasks, which is a bonus! This definitely makes life easier for us mummies and daddies too!
