Genius Parenting Hacks That Make Life With Kids So Much Easier

Inside Camping

If you have a little one who wants to go camping when you don't, this is a perfect compromise. Get a battery-powered candle, a big tent set up, and rainy night. You can enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your own living room. For a little added fun, try to make a campfire with construction paper around the candle. Now, it's like you're really living outside!

The More You Know

Did you peel a label off a jar only to find paper and residue left behind? Using a cotton pad and some cooking oil, rub the residue and let it sit for a few minutes.
Fill some water bottles halfway, then lay them on their side in the freezer. When it's time for a cool drink, grab a bottle, fill it up with your beverage of choice, and let the wall of ice in the bottle keep your drink perfectly chilled.
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.
Anybody who eats boiled eggs knows the frustration of having one crack. Throwing a little vinegar into the boiling water will keep the egg whites from seeping out.
