Everyone is familiar with the everyday irritants that seem to constantly pop up – kids distracting you while you drive, the hassle of trying a couple of keys before finding the right one (especially when your hands are full) – the little things that slow you down or raise your blood pressure. Life is tough enough without all those headaches and annoyances, so we’ve compiled a few simple life hacks to help you get through the day-to-day with fewer speed bumps along the way.

Let’s start by getting you to and from work safely, because driving with dim headlights is not the brightest idea.

But bright headlights won’t do anything to help keep your cabin crew from distracting you while driving, so why not provide them with a few distractions of their own so you can pilot everyone home safely.

Once you’re at home in your slippers, it won’t do anyone any good if you lose your mind over lost items, especially if they’re grandma’s diamond earrings. Here’s a solution that may help you find them.

Now let’s get down to business in the kitchen with a few tips to keep your space clean and neat, because home cookin’ is best served from a clean kitchen. 

Are you one of those people who does a lot of running around in the evenings? Well, we’ve got a simple way for you to grab the right key every time, even if your hands are full.

It’s nice to finally sit down at the end of the day in a space that feels welcoming, so here’s a simple way to hang those family photos without flattening your fingers.

Feeling really ambitious? Just remember that many hands make light work, even little ones, so get your kids helping out. If they can’t appreciate the work, we’re sure they can appreciate the value of the internet, or lack thereof – if it’s on the line.

Packing for a trip can be a bit of a chore, but not if you employ some tried and true methods to help you arrive at your destination fresh as a daisy (or a dryer sheet).
