Mom Hacks: 200 Lifesaving Parenting Tips and Tricks from Super Moms

by Hope Comerford

Dear You deserve a life with a little less stress. Let Mom Hacks help! Being a mom is the most fulfilling, yet draining job you’ll ever have, but of course you wouldn’t change it for the world! However, time is of the essence, and balancing work, carpooling, making appointments, planning vacations, grocery shopping, meal prepping, etc. is SO hard to do. Hope Comerford understands this, which is why she has reached out to moms across the country to gather the best advice, expertise, and hacks for motherhood. Doing the “mom thing” alone is near impossible, but momming, as Hope affectionately calls it, can be so much easier when other moms are involved and willing to share what’s worked for them. Mom Hacks contains more than 150 mom hacks from real moms to help make your life a little easier and your time (kid-free or with kids) more manageable and, dare we say it, more productive (and maybe a little more fun!). In this book, you’ll find hacks   shoppingcookingcleaninggiftingtravelingfitnesshealthand more!

About the author

I'm a wife and a mother to a beautiful 7 year old and active 4 year old . I love to cook, but as crazy busy as my life is, the slow cooker is my life-saver! My passion for developing recipes started at a young age when my grandma taught me and my cousins to cook. During my college years, I began to experiment on my own and as I entered the work force, my creativity really developed. My second cookbook, The Gluten-Free Slow Cooker will be released on Oct. 1, but it available for presale wherever books are sold now. My first cookbook, Slow Cooker Recipes 10 Ingredients or Less and Gluten-Free is available for sale online. In addition to writing cookbooks, I teach Elementary Music, I'm a Young Living Essential Oils Educator and a blogger. Am I crazy busy...or just crazy? Yes, but I love living my life the way I'm living it!

Quick hacks, easy to read and fun to flip through. I think it could have been longer, there are a million more hacks.
57- Make breakfast burritos- cook ingredients and then freeze in plastic bags.
63- Buy bags of pre-diced onions
72- Substitute applesauce for oil or butter in any baking recipe (might be good for the dairy free lifestyle)
90- Use scissors to cut up all kinds of food for little kids. Easier than a knife
95- Keep candy sprinkles on hand to liven up food for little eaters. Makes simple things more fun!
103- Make a list of things that need to be cleaned in your house. When you do one of the things, date it, and forget about it until you get to it again.
106- After dinner, give kids a Norwex cloth to wipe down surfaces, cupboard, floor. Anything to give them a little responsibility to help you out.
124- Assign a kid a laundry day. Teach them the whole process with their clothes from start to finish.
137- Put a paper clip at the end of a tape roll so that you can get to it easier next time. (duct tape or big rolls of tape)
163- Buy solid color wrapping paper and just collect bows. Makes wrapping for any occasion a bit easier.
195- Rinse hair with lemon juice. Brightens up blond.
200- Save trays that food and meat come in, wash it well and then store them away for craft time. Makes it easy to squirt paint on for small crafts with the kids.
