I hateeeee shredding with forks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595219 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:28:23 +0000 gingerbebe 2595219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: we do that with zucchini and yellow squash too - if you use the small holes on the graters the blends right in and it's pretty tasteless. I do it in omelets, fried rice, pretty much anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595218 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:28:17 +0000 Shantuck 2595218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: I hate shredding chicken so this could be life changing! Do you just use the normal paddle mixer attachment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595202 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:15:08 +0000 erinbaderin 2595202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Yes! Or pulled pork. It makes life so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595196 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 09:10:22 +0000 psw27 2595196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: That is genius, I'm so doing that! </p> <p>My favorite hack I've ever learned is to shred chicken in my kitchen aid mixer. It's seriously life changing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595151 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:36:44 +0000 jape14 2595151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: I cracked up reading this! I had a similar experience with my MIL on recent beach trip when I mixed tuna and avocado together and DS ate the entire bowl of "tunacado." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595144 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:28:01 +0000 rattles 2595144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: Just sprinkle baby power onto sandy legs and feet and brush off. It soaks up the moisture so the sand just comes right off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595122 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:10:16 +0000 snowjewelz 2595122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I'm going to Target to buy my dawn soap and vinegar today! I haven't cleaned my tub since I got pregnant, soooo... This needs to happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595117 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:06:30 +0000 Ajsmommy 2595117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: baby powder to clean up sandy kids? could you elaborate please...we live in a beach community and I'm totally interested :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595114 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 08:03:12 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2595114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two of them:</p> <p>1 - If I peel the background off a sheet of stickers, my 2 year old can get the stickers off the page by herself. Saves me from constant "mama help me get the pony sticker off!" cries all day long.</p> <p>2 - Old burp cloths make excellent cleaning rags. It's also sort of a funny sweet reminder of her babyhood every time I wipe down the counters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2595098 Fri, 29 Jul 2016 07:45:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2595098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: oh!

Will need to do this. We buy the cheapie elastic bc they are easy to break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594914 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 20:07:41 +0000 stiletto_mom 2594914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not new, but probably the best Pinterest hack I found that works.</p> <p>Got cats? Got carpet or a cat tree? Use the squeegee to scrape the fur where you can vaccuum it up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594899 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 19:59:42 +0000 Littlebit7 2594899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I randomly grated some carrots into boxed macaroni and cheese. My mother in law happened to be there to witness and I swear she now thinks I am gods gift to parenting (spoiler:I'm not). Prior to the carrot incident I believe she thought I was letting my child play with knives and run through the streets naked and alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594790 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:47:10 +0000 catlady 2594790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not super new but I learned here about how you can use a combo of vinegar and dish soap as a cleaner. This stuff worked great on my tub! I was already using it as a weed killer (also works great). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594774 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:24:20 +0000 rattles 2594774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not new, but my favorite seasonal hack is using baby powder to clean up sandy kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594769 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 17:09:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 2594769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: like the marks from silverware cutting on the plates?? I have to try this! All our plates have those lines and I just figured it is what it is. </p> <p>I've got nothing- I'm just going to learn from you guys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594692 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:30:43 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 2594692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have been relearning simple commands - like cut, paste, undo, and pasting something as a simple text versus having it paste with its original formatting. Saves time on a laptop but not really newsworthy :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594677 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:23:20 +0000 snowjewelz 2594677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: Oo, if you remember, let me know how it goes! I'm the complete opposite from DIY and I suck at everything, but I figured this is not that hard for a newbie... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594671 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:15:07 +0000 Rescuemom10 2594671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: OK That is an AWESOME hack! Heck yes I need to try this. </p> <p>@snowjewelz: same here! I have all the stuff but haven't made it yet. Maybe this weekend. </p> <p>Mine isn't kid related. But I just had a pinterest success of something I randomly stumbled across on there. My plates and dishes were getting those dark marks (Ivory porcelain). I could not get them off. Thought it was just getting to be about time to get a new set which I was so sad about. I LOVE the set I have. But powdered bar keeper made into a paste, scrub with a sponge (Not even much scrubbing needed) and they came right off and look brand new. So very, very happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594662 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:07:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2594662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just learned about glitter calming bottles; totally making one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594648 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 14:57:28 +0000 mrsjazz 2594648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't learn any but I taught another mom about "juice box ears." Basically pulling up the flaps on the sides of the juice box so LO can hold the box without squeezing the juice all over the place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/learned-any-good-hacks-recently#post-2594623 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 14:29:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2594623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw that you could use a seam ripper to get those tiny rubber bands out of your childs hair - worked great!!! </p>
