Parent Hacks

Parents are definitely an inventive bunch. Trapped between the cost of raising a child, and the lack of products to do exactly what you want, parents are forced to make do or "hack" a solution together. Well, the website Parent Hacks is all about these innovative solutions that parents come up with to everyday problems. For example, instead of sending your younger children outside in the freezing cold to play in the snow, bring the snow into the house! The bathtub specifically. They can play to their hearts content, and when playtime is over, there's no mess to clean up. Or perhaps your stuck at a dingy gas station bathroom, and with no paper towels or toilet paper in sight? Cover that toilet seat with disposable plastic garbage bags, for a quick and easy cleanup. There are lots of parenting gems like this posted nearly every day. If you're a parent, and you don't read Parent Hacks yet, get over there right away!
