So many of the life hacks that we use in our lives every day to make it easier came from other people sharing them. In this episode, we answer several listener questions, including our very favorite life hacks that are saving us right now, from laundry and cleaning life savers to hair and easy morning breakfast tricks.

We also address issues about helping toddlers adapt to quiet time (one of our most frequent questions asked), preparing your older children to welcome a new baby into the family, and we discuss the important difference between systems of earning and rewards, bribes and punishments.

Books we mentioned:

Entitlement Trap // Richard and Linda Eyre

Fairplay // Eve Rodsky

Links we promised:

Taralyn’s hair curlers that she and Katelin sleep in. She now likes the first link best started with these ones, which are fabulous as well.

Felica’s black socks she uses for her boys.

Taralyn uses the KB no show socks (she and her 4 kids wear all just wear the same size for simplicity. You can buy a big pack from costco or a smaller pack from Amazon).

For the overnight breakfast recipes Taralyn, go to our website, findthemagic.co, episode 98.
