Parent Hacks by Asha Dornfest

Any parent knows that to get through some of the more difficult child-rearing years, you rely on those “shortcuts” that help with everything from feedings to bath time to traveling with your kids. Luckily, Asha Dornfest, has compiled all those valuable hacks into her new book, Parent Hacks: 134 Genius Shortcuts for Life withKids.

Asha has been swapping ideas with her readers since she launched her Parent Hacks blog in 2005. While we each might parent a little differently, we are all in this together and having a community to share these tips with is invaluable.

Parent Hacks is full of fun illustrations and practical advice that is going to make your life so much easier. The chapters are broken down by Pregnancy & Postpartum, Organizing Time & Space, Poop, Pee & Potty, among many others. This book will become your daily companion and inside you’ll find hacks for every situation. Most likely you’ll find some familiar ones you learned from your own mother… and you’ll definitely find ones that will make you wonder why you never thought of them before.

Some of my favorite hacks from the book are:

#1 Expand the waistband of your pre-pregnancy jeans  – with a ponytail holder!

#38 Muffle the door latch – with a rubber band!

With full on visuals (or diagrams), these hacks come to life instantly.

If you are in the Los Angeles area, Asha will be at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market on July 31 discussing her book and demonstrating some clever, life-simplifying hacks. Join in the fun!
