Hey there! Parenting certainly is a joyful yet challenging role we embark on, isn't it?

One of my go-to parenting hacks for keeping my little one entertained is creating a "Treasure Box" aka the DIY activity kit. I repurpose a shoebox or any fancy box I can find and fill it with odds and ends that are generally safe for her to play with. Think buttons, beads, colored pasta, old jar lids, fabric scraps, etc. It's like a surprise goodie bag for kids!

I supervise her while she's exploring the box, as some of the items aren't swallow-proof for my little munchkin just yet. But this keeps her engaged for hours, especially when I join in and make it into a game. We take turns picking an item and come up with creative ways to use them. It's fun watching their imagination run wild!

What other parents out there have some unique ideas for keeping the young'uns occupied? Share your fun mom hacks please! We're all ears!

I have a few strategies up my sleeve for keeping the young'uns entertained which might help parents out there, especially during the holidays when you've got to keep them occupied!

An activity book or two is a great distraction, especially if you're stuck somewhere with minimal space, like a hospital waiting room or a long doctor's appointment. I like to keep a few new activities tucked away for emergency situations like these, and the dollar store has some great, affordable picks which can keep kids entertained with puzzles, games, and coloring. Not original, but sure works like a charm!

For something a little more hands-on and engaging, a simple DIY sensation play box could do the trick. It's an especially good option if you've got toddler age children; fill a small box or container with different textural objects like dried pasta, rice, beans, buttons - basically any household odds and ends! Let your child explore the different textures, encouraging them to use their senses. It keeps them occupied and helps them learn too.

These are my quick go-to's; would love to hear other parent's creative ideas for keeping the kids happy!

One of my go-to strategies for managing those inevitable toddler meltdowns is having a secret weapon up my sleeve: a distraction technique! It often helps to distract their attention by pointing out something interesting in the environment or doing some silly moves. You'd be surprised how this simple act can help them snap out of their grumpiness!

What are your tried-and-true ways to divert those watery eyes and loud cries?
