Genius Parenting Hacks That Make Life With Kids So Much Easier

Snow Bricks

Tupperware has more uses than just keeping old leftovers from going bad. You can make every day a snow day with your kids by filling a plastic tub up with snow. Pack it tightly so it can keep hold of its shape, then push it out of the other side. There you go, one full snow brick! Use these to make igloos or snowball fighting forts. Just be ready for the wreckage come springtime.

The More You Know

If you have greasy fingerprints on your doorframes or walls, there's a simple fix. Just rub a piece of chalk gently over them, let it sit for 10 minutes, and the chalk will absorb the oil, allowing it to easily wipe away.
If you know you'll need to bake with brown sugar soon and it's too hard to use, stick a piece of bread in with the sugar overnight and leave the two in a sealed plastic bag.
Have a little paint left in that can, but not enough to warrant keeping that whole huge container around? Just pour it into a washed and dried baby food jar and keep it tightly sealed for touch-ups.
Organize each matching sheet set by folding everything and storing it inside one of the pillowcases.
