The art station suggestion for keeping kids occupied also receives widespread acclaim. Parents find these practical solutions helpful in creating peaceful moments and streamlining daily parenting routines. Luciana's ingenuity is praised, with her ideas being described as genius, creative, and accessible.

When it comes to parenting, we often seek ways to make our lives easier and our children's upbringings more enjoyable. Here are some underrated hacks that can help make your parenting journey a little smoother!

1. Keep a basket of toys in the bathroom. Bath time can become a struggle when kids start becoming fussy. Having their favorite toys readily available keeps them occupied and makes bath time fun!

2. Create a 'No-Screen Time' zone. Designate a corner in your home, away from any electronic devices like tablets or TVs. This encourages imaginative play and reduces screen time addiction.

3. Reuse plastic grocery bags! They're not just for groceries. Line your child's bathroom trash can with a plastic bag to contain dirty diapers. The slimy mess is contained, and you don't have to touch it!

4. Invest in a cheap shower caddy for all things parenting. Keep your go-to items handy - think snacks, small toys, wet wipes, nappies etc. It's an easy way to keep everything accessible and avoid rummaging through your diaper bag.

5. Magnetic solution! Attach magnets to often-lost items like socks or small toys. Attach one on the back of your fridge or a high cupboard. Now you have a designated spot for these easily misplaceable items, right in the heart of your home.
