Mom Hack

Here's a neat trick for small bedrooms – swap out bulky dressers for under-bed storage bins.

It's a great way to organize your kids' clothes while freeing up valuable floor space.

More room for toys, books, and play! Plus, it makes sharing a room a little easier.

Featured Response 💬 

“I have Facebook albums where I post pictures of my son, and some of my Facebook friends are just acquaintances or mutual friends. They can see those pictures, however it's set to "friends only" so nobody outside of my friends list can see them.”
