I became obsessed with mum hacks when a friend showed me a game-changing tip during my baby days - that baby vests can be pulled down (not up) in the event of an explosive poo. I couldn't believe I had been a mum for so long and not known!

You'll find my favourite hacks and habits, as well as dozens of new ones, all designed to give your day-to-day a lift.
