10 Time-Saving Hacks for Busy Parents
1. Make chore charts. Even 2-year olds can have chores. Make your kids pick up toys, clean the sinks, do the dishes, or sweeping the floor. The more your kids do, the less you have to do.
2. Put the trash bags in the bottom of the can. With kids, you are always filling the trash can. Instead of trying to get a new trash bag out every time, just have them in the bottom of the can so you can easily put one in the trash can.
3. Throw wrinkled clothes back in the dryer. Who has time to iron these days?! Not me! When clothes gets wrinkled, throw them in the dryer for about 5-minutes while you do other things.
4. Look for quick and easy to prepare dinners for the family. Do you find yourself at 4 pm still wondering what you’re going to make for dinner? It happens to me all the time! Some days, I just want something quick to make without having to pick up the phone to order meal delivery.
That’s where Fast Fixin’ Restaurant Style® Country Fried Steaks come in.

5. Send them outside to eat. The easiest way to keep your house cleaner is to send those kids outside to eat. You won’t have jelly fingerprints on your wall.
6. Use shower spray. Kids can get messy and scrubbing the shower is no fun. Spray the shower with shower spray after each use to save time cleaning.
7. Give kids their own bin. Save time looking for stuff by giving each kid their very own bin by the door. They can put their gloves, hats, and everything in the drawer.
8. Paper plate that ice cream cone. Kids are messy when they eat an ice-cream cone. Poke a hole in a paper plate and stick the ice cream cone in it. It will prevent the ice cream from dripping on your floors.
9. Steam the microwave. You don’t have to spend hours scrubbing your microwave. Instead, place a bowl of vinegar and water in the microwave for 2-minutes. Anything stuck will just wipe off.
10. If you’re struggling to think of things to do this summer, use my summer bucket list for tons of ideas.
