Mom Hack

Have an old shower curtain?

Here's a fun idea: Transform them into a makeshift art smock for your kiddo!

Simply cut out a big rectangle (big enough to cover your child's outfit) and pop a hole in the top for their head.

And to keep that fancy new smock in place? Snip a strip from the remaining curtain and use it as a belt.

Perfect for those messy paint days!

Featured Response 💬 

“We are in an era where nearly everything is done through technology, so I feel like knowing how to navigate different devices at a young age is very beneficial. While I understand limiting screens and why people do it, eliminating them altogether does children a huge disservice in a world where not knowing your way around technology puts you at a huge disadvantage.”

- Community Mom

Totally get that—it's all about finding that sweet spot where they can learn the tech skills they'll need, without letting screens take over their whole day. -Danielle 😊
