The role of parent is an important role, but exhausting, and sometimes you are juggling six things at once. Any help is appreciated, right? Here are some practical tips and hints on how to make parenting a little bit easier for you.

• Vacuum a pony tail for easy gathering of the hair for the ponytail holder.
• Multitask playtime by tying a rope through the swing set and around your child’s waist so you can swing her/him by pulling the rope, while talking on the phone.
• Shoe markers so your child will put shoes on the right foot. Cut a star in half and put each half on the back of the shoes so your child can match up the stars.
• Popsicle guard. Cut the bottom half of a plastic cup, cut a hole in the middle of the plastic cup and stick the popsicle through the hole. Or, I’ve seen people simply use a paper cup cake holder in the same way.
• To remove crayon from walls just get a sponge wet and dip it into baking soda. It will remove the marks right away.
