As you know, I am a big fan of WhatsUpMoms on YouTube. They’ve recently been doing a really cool series. Whereas they usually do Mom hacks, now they are doing Dad hacks! There is nothing as dramatic here as some of the cool dad stuff we’ve featured on the site, like this Easter egg project or this stunning bedroom makeover, but these tips are stellar!

I especially love the one for keeping your kids from grabbing your console controller—that’s brilliant. You get to level up without a hitch and your toddlers still get to have fun “playing” the game with you.

I just found a really awesome video on YouTube which taught me a bunch of new rubber band hacks, and some of them are just amazing. I especially love the one for keeping your iPhone from sliding around in the car (check out another awesome iPhone hack here). I’ll be so glad to have that problem solve on my next road trip.

There really are a huge number of awesome ideas packed into this video. A lot of these are things that should be obvious, but I just never thought of them (the iPhone hack being a prime example)! Now that I’ve seen this, I am going to go through and watch everything on Japanese Lifehacker’s channel. And I am definitely not going to give up on my habit of collecting rubber bands wherever I find them. I am going to be using these things a lot more now

I’ve taken up most of the available counter space and cabinet space already with most of our food, dishes, etc. but there was no where to hang up dish towels, or put sponges and wash cloths where they wouldn’t go sour. I figured the big empty nook above the sink would be a prime spot to store such things.
