Kids love a bit of ink and we've all spent way too long trying to scrub a temporary tattoo off their skin without hurting them.?
It feels like the only time these things won't come off is when you've got family photos or something on, and it becomes a total panic.?
But turns out there's an extremely easy and painless way of doing it, which one mum shared on Instagram.
Keisha Franklin, a mum-of-two, shared the genius tip and it's really so simple.?
"Mom hack to remove temporary tattoos! No more scrubbing easy removal!," she captioned the video.?
Turns out all you need is a big roll of packing tape, although normal sticky tape would probably do the trick too, you just might need to layer it up.
Then, all you do is lay the tape over the top of the tattoo, like another layer.
Next, peel the tape up and the tattoo will lift off with it ¨C? it's that simple!
There's no scrubbing, no tears, no trying to get your kid to stay still while you do it. The tattoo peels off in one clean piece, which we can all agree is a hack worth knowing.?
There's nothing worse than your kids dragging out every single piece of something small like Duplo, then leaving you to pick it all back up.
I know, I know, get them to pack it all away ¨C but honestly sometimes it's just quicker and easier to do it yourself.
Thankfully one mum has made it even speedier with a genius hack and all you need is a dustpan.
"?Too good hack not to share," Tori captioned the video on Instagram.
"For the parents who are sick of packing up Duplo use a dustpan and make it 4 x faster," read the text on the video.
The hack is ridiculously simple ¨C you basically just use the dustpan like a shovel to get all the pieces and dump them in a basket or container.
?It only takes Tori a couple of scoops to pick all the pieces up, and it's honestly that quick, even your (bigger) kids could have a crack at doing it.
The best part? If you don't have a dustpan at home that you're keen to use on toys, you can pick one up from Kmart for just $2. ?
A?ny parent who has a child that loses it when they're starving knows that quickly being able to whip up a snack is a necessity.
So, if you've got a little one who is obsessed with mandarins, you're in luck because there's a genius TikTok hack that's changed the game.
It's an easier way to peel them and one all toddler mums need to know.
Instead of peeling the skin off and trying to get each piece out individually, cut the fruit through the middle.
This will give you two halves with the segments already cut in half.
From there it's as simple as flipping the skin inside out and you can quickly get all the pieces out.
It also makes getting any seeds out of the fruit so easy because it's already cut open.
Long car trips with kids can be exhausting for parents, especially those pesky nappy change stops.
But one mum has found the perfect solution to stay organised and set up for any road trip pits stops ¨C and her hack costs just $10.
Sharing a photo to the Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook Group, mum Acacia shows how she's converted a shelf hanging organiser into the perfect storage in her car boot.

"The organiser fits perfectly across the back of our Forester for our two and one year old girls stuff during travel!" she explained.
In the picture you can see each pocket of the organiser has everything she needs to help make her trips a breeze. From nappies, snacks, toys, blankets and more, this mum has thought of everything.
There is also a play mat laid out across the boot to avoid any mess getting on the interior carpet. ?
The clever hack impressed other parents who are now keen to try it out in their own cars.
"Wow! That's awesome," one person commented.
With the cost-of-living crisis showing no sign of easing, families across the country are looking for simple ways to save on the weekly grocery shop.
One mum has been praised after sharing her clever hack to divide up a large packet of chips into separate mini snap-lock bags.
"Does anyone else do this?" she wrote in the Mums on a Budget Facebook group. "I just realised eight packs for $2.69."
Alongside her post was a photo of a ?230g packet of salt & vinegar chips and her simple DIY trick ¨C perfect for school lunches.
That's right, folks. If y?ou buy the mulit-pack bags off the grocery shelves you end up paying a premium for the box and the convenience ¨C up to $10 for 20 packs.
Using the mum's hack means you are paying just 33 cents a bag, rather than around 50 cents a pop.
Other parents loved the mum's creative solution, thanking her for the money-saving tip.
"OMG. I never thought of this! So smart and cheap," said one mum.
"The multipacks are very dear now. So definitely the way to go," said another.
"Next shop this is what I will be doing - $8.70 for a box of singles is ridiculous! Thank you," said another. "It's brilliant."
Other mums pointed the obvious portion size comparison too.
"I do it with pretty much everything. These snack bags you get in the shops are the biggest waste of money and the serving size is tiny," said one.
"My kids prefer it as they get more in a packet this way too."
W?ith six kids at home, mum Sarah from Sydney has her work cut out for her when it comes to the weekly washing.
So to save time on sorting, washing, drying and then storing her kids' clothes, she's thought of a genius idea that ?uses a $6 item from Kmart.
Posting to the Kmart Hacks & Decor Facebook Page, Sarah shared a photo of her home 'washing station?' where all her kids sort their washing.
"Socks and undies go in the bags. Everything else in the basket. No more sorting," the mum explains.

"Everything gets washed in the bags, then in the dryer and straight to their rooms," she explains, sharing her laundry hack with fellow parents on the page.
"Only a mother of six could be this brilliant. Please share more mum hacks!" one person commented on the post impressed with the idea.
"I'm going to try this!! Thank you for sharing!" another wrote.
A? mum whose son struggles to sleep at night has shared a $14 product that has changed their life.
"This has been amazing for my son, he feels safe, comfortable and he doesn't have anxiety attacks," Katie captioned a post on the Kmart Mums Australia Facebook Group.
The mum explained that her boy has always had issues sleeping at night and was worried about what would happen when he outgrew his McQueen Bed Tent.
"I didn't want to pay for an expensive sensory pod for his double bed," she shared.

She was lucky enough to come across a recommendation from another mum online who had the same issue, who suggested the Kmart 2 Person Dome Tent.
The $14 product the answer to Katie and her son's issues: ??"Best hack ever for us."
The mum shared photos of the tent set up on top of her son's double bed frame with the mattress and bedding inside.
?A set-up she says was affordable and 'didn't take too long' to put together.
After sharing photos of her sleep hack, the mum has inspired others to try out the product with their restless sleepers.
"This is the best thing I have ever seen. What a brilliant idea," one mum wrote.
Another said, "I'm so trying this! Thank you!?"
Some parents revealed they are already using the tent in their kids' room and it's been working wonders.

"Had this tent for my back then four-year-old son during the lockdowns. Best $14 I've ever spent!?" ?
A few adults even thinking of trying it out for themselves, "I want a bed tent So cosy!"
Katie confirmed a double mattress can fit perfectly inside the base of the tent and made her son feel safe and secure.
Sensory pod beds can cost up to $5,000 for ?kids, so the Kmart tent has been a bargain find for the mum.
Parents are in a frenzy over ?a $15 children's winter item.
One mum shared a photo of the product on Facebook - a $15 Glow in the Dark Dino blanket - much to the delight of other shoppers.
"Heads up, the Glow in the dark blankets are awesome!" she wrote. "This was literally five seconds against a sunny window and they glow skeletons."
The blanket features a dinosaur print that apparently glows after it is left in the sun or under a bright light "for 10 to 15 minutes" to "create a magical atmosphere in your kids' bedroom."
Many parents flocked to the post with praise for the cosy blanket.
"This is not a want but a need for the boys!," said one.
"I got my daughter the pink unicorn glow in the dark blanket and it's also amazing. She is obsessed she thinks it scares off the boogy man," said another.
"I got this blanket last year for my two-year-old son and it's really warm," said a third.
"Off to Kmart I go," declared a fourth.
We all know how attached children can get to their soft toys, and how grubby these much-cuddled items become.
One Aussie mum has shared her secret to restoring her kids' toys back to mint condition ¨C and all it takes is a simple pet brush from Kmart that costs just $3.25.?
"Kmart pet brush to the rescue," the mum of four from Victoria revealed on a popular Kmart fans Facebook page, alongside a series of before-and-after photos of a transformed white bunny.
"Revitalising the kids much loved Jellycat bunnies. The kids sleep with them every night and have since they were born. My oldest daughter's (toy) is now 10 years old but now looks brand new again."
Other parents loved the "genius" idea - with one even declaring: "Never in my life have I loved a hack more."
"What a transformation," commented another parent. "That is amazing!"
"Wow. What a difference," said a third.
"Thank you for sharing. I need to do it for my daughter."
Others also chimed in with their praise for the Kmart brush for use on other items around the home. ?
"Those brushes are fabulous on sheepskin rugs too - makes them look brand new," said one.
"We do this too, it's awesome! It's also good for the Velcro tabs on kids' shoes when everything in the world seems to be stuck to them!" shared another.
While others parents said their kids loved their "old and tatty" Jellycat bunnies just as they are.
P?roving the best solutions always come from mums, one woman has found a way to make bedtime bearable.
Posting to the Kmart Hacks and Decor Facebook group, ?the mum shared a photo of her ingenious way to keep herself entertained while putting her baby to sleep.
Using a tablet holder - which will set you back just $5 at Kmart, attached to the cot, the mum can now use her Kindle to catch up on her favourite novel while waiting for her baby to fall asleep. ?
"I have a very sleepless baby and spend a lot of time rocking. Reading my kindle keeps the mum rage at bay. The tablet holder on the cot has been a lifesaver," she said.
The hack was a hit with fellow mums.
"Genius idea," said one. "Awesome idea," agreed another. ?
"I am so going to Kmart to get one of these for my kindle. What a great idea. Might even invest in a kindle page turner too," added one.
"?I just joined and it was worth just for this genius idea! Thank you," praised another.
While one mum joked: "I wish I'd read this 26 years ago."?
When one mum-of-four cottoned on to her kids sneaking their school laptops out at night to play games, she knew she needed to outsmart them.
While locking them away each night stopped their deviant behaviour, it left the problem of sending them to school with uncharged devices.
So after a little bit of brainstorming, a trip to Kmart and one seriously bright idea the mum devised her own 'device jail' using commonly found items - a $14 plastic basket plus file holders for $6.
The cheap but effective solution now allows her to charge their laptops, while preventing her kids from accessing them.
Sharing her find on a popular Facebook group, she said:
"?My four children have laptops from school that they bring home. They sneak them out at night to play, so I was locking them in a cupboard, but I couldn't charge them. So made my own rough 'device jail' which holds the devices, all from Kmart."
Parents loved her idea - with thousands liking and commenting on the post. ?
"Genius. Looks like I'm off to Kmart," said one mum. "That is so freaking clever," added another.
"Off to Kmart," said one, while another called it "brilliant".
"I'll be doing this, this week!" said another.
And one mum said it was the perfect budget solution. "Oh my gosh! Genius! I need one but won't pay big money for one!"
However, not everyone was convinced, with some mums saying their kids would still manage to find a way to ?access their laptops.
"My kids would cut it open," said one. "My kids would have defeated the lockbox," agreed a second.?
But one mum may have a rival hack, saying: "I just hide them at the bottom of a basket of laundry that needs folding. They've never been found!"?
Another simply said: "How sad you need to lock them up!" ?
