This meal planning prep allows you to have fun dinners with your family because you won’t be all hot and sweaty from prepping and cooking a well-balanced meal for your family.
Prepare at Night
Invest in a coffee maker that has a timer so that your morning cup of Joe is ready when you wake up. Make sure the kids’ clothes are put out the night before and that you’re morning routine supplies such as beauty products and clothes have been set out the night before to save time in morning prep before work and school. Preparing the night before allows you to have more fun with your kids in the morning before you guys venture out to work and school.
Buy Color Scheme Clothes Only

I am always losing socks so I have to try this. These are all great tips to help me make my life easier with all the tasks i do.
I need to start freezing more meals. I hate to cook, so anything to make life easier is a win for me. And I do always try to get everything prepared the night before when I’m alert! If I wait until morning, I’ll forget stuff.
yes to all of this ha- i need to freeze a few more meals for sure to help us out and the sock one is great!
You can never have too many hacks. Especially when you’re a busy Mom!
The freezer meal idea has been revolutionary in my life. I also try to make extra when I’m cooking and then throw it in the freezer. Instead of browning 1 lb of burger, I’ll brown 2, and throw the 2nd lb in the freezer, which makes for a quick meal on a busy night!
Yes to a coffee maker with a timer. That way there is fresh coffee in the morning
Always good to have some ways to make life easier. Thanks for sharing your mom hacks!
These are all such great ideas. I love the idea for the socks. I’ll have to give that a try. We are always losing socks around here.
I am loving these mom hacks. I swear the dryer eats my socks. I’ll be using a mesh bag from now on.
The mesh string bag hack is what I will do! I hate it when I have to fold the laundry and I discover I am missing a sock. I also do meal prepping and that saves me a lot of time.
Preparing the night before is definitely a great idea. I have been doing it for years. Thanks for all the other ideas. Great hacks!
I really enjoyed reading this post. These are really helpful tips. I can’t wait to apply these hacks.
Mom hacks make my world go around. These are some seriously great ideas!
i do need that tip for the socks, I have so many missing ones that it is not funny. I also like the idea of getting my son colorful shirts
I really need to do that for my socks, I swear I have not had a pair of matching socks in the past 2 months!
All great ideas! My kids sort socks and they don’t care for it. I bet a mesh bag would help a lot!
Preparing at night is life-changing for our home. No matter what time I get up, packing lunches is always what has me late walking out the door. Handling this the night before, or at least knowing what we are packing, makes a difference.
