Genius Parenting Hacks That Make Life With Kids So Much Easier

Yogurt Paint

If you have a little one who wants to get creative but you don't want them inhaling paint fumes, there is an easy and cheap solution. Mixing yogurt with food coloring makes art time way less stressful. Put it in a few cups or muffin tin and grab a few paintbrushes. Now, there's no worry about them accidentally eating it or ruining your carpet floors. Everyone is safe!

The More You Know

If you've accidentally dripped candle wax onto your carpet, there is hope yet. First, put a paper bag down over the wax, then lightly go over the affected area with a steam iron. The steam will help lift the wax from the carpet and allow it to cling to the bag instead.
As trash bags start to fill up, the bag slithers into the bin and you have to dig it out. To keep handled or drawstring trash bags in place, all you need are two medium or large self-adhesive command hooks.
Garage floors are puddle prone: springtime floods, melting ice from tires, you name it. You can keep that water away from your tools and toys with a dam made of expanding foam.
Want to dry out flowers quickly and easily? Just use the clips on a pants hanger to hold the stems of your flowers so they're hanging bulb down, and leave them in a cool, dry place to dehydrate.
