Parenting Hacks for the First Two Years of Your Child’s Life
Save your time, your money, and your sanity!
I’m a mother and a self-proclaimed “shortcut taker”. I always look for ways to make things go smoother, quicker, and easier.
As parents, we have many balls in the air, some are heavier than others, so why make life difficult for ourselves?
I have some tips to share that I’ve picked up in the first couple of years of my daughter’s life that keeps our household running smoothly.
Laundry day
This is something I learned in the second year of my daughter’s life. I was so bummed when I learned this one because it could’ve have saved me days of folding laundry.
You do not need to fold your baby or toddler's clothes!
Baby and toddler clothes do not wrinkle. Pants, shirts, and sleepers can be laid flat in their drawers.
They will stay wrinkle-free and it’s easier to find what you need to pair an outfit since it’s all laid out in front of you.
Dresses and rompers can be laid flat, but I hang those up because some materials do have a tendency to wrinkle.
I wish I had known this when I had a newborn and was using cloth diapers! It is a big time saver.
