There are life hacks helping moms from the infant stage to the teenage years. I'm a big fan of the famous “get along shirt” and the mom who changed the WiFi password and made her kids do chores to get it just to name a few.

Buzzfeed has compiled a list of 33 awesome parenting life hacks you just gotta know in one place. Here are some of my favorites from their list:

1. If your kids are always using new cups, give them their own designated cups with magnets to stick to the fridge.

If you've ever worked with preschoolers you'll understand how truly genius that one is.

2. A Capri Sun in the freezer becomes a fun and easy slushy.

I can't wait to try this one at the beach this summer. Heck, I might make some for me too.

3. Put a sticker that has been cut in half on shoes' inner sole to show your child the correct foot for their shoes.

So much better than the dorky socks my mom painted left and right on for us. Although, we learned quickly to avoid wearing them in public.

4. Dawn, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda will get set-in baby food stains out of a onesie.

I'll be trying this one with our new baby. No more avocado stains for us!

5. Put a “safety spot” sticker on your car to ensure an older child doesn't wander off while you load or unload the car.

Genius right?

6. A plastic cup will keep little hands safe when handling sparklers on the Fourth of July.

Finally! I can be the cool mom that lets them have sparklers and I won't be consumed with worry. Okay, I'll still worry, but maybe not as much.

7. Another use for your glue gun: plug up those holes in your bath toys so they don't get all moldy.

Why do they put those holes there in the first place? It's all part of an elaborate plot to get us to buy more bath toys. They know I can't resist those little baby faces.

8. Dollar store shower caddies are great to have around for eating in the car.

No more cleaning french fries out of the floor board or being asked to hold this or that while they attempt to eat. I love it!

9. Cut up pieces of fleece to create a teething guard for your baby's crib.

My mom made us one before our son was born. It's way cuter than those plastic ones at the store and oh so soft.

I can't wait to try some of these this summer. Got one to share? Is there one you wanna try? Tell us in the comments!
