A few random tips, off the top of my head...

I make quick toasted cheese sandwiches for my little ones by toasting a couple of slices of bread in the toaster, sticking a slice of cheese between them, and microwaving for a few seconds. They actually prefer them like this as there is no greasy butter to make their fingers "icky". I'm glad because they really have no nutritional need for all that butter. Of course, my older kids like theirs the old fashioned way with all the butter.

When I need to tighten or remove a large screw and cannot locate a flat edge screwdriver, I have found that the edge of a dime usually works.

I use white vinegar as a rinse agent in my dishwasher. It works great and is a lot cheaper than the bottled stuff.

When closing the car doors, I have the little kids place their hands on their heads until I have shut the doors. This makes is easier to account for where their hands are and ensures that I don't slam any little fingers in the car door.

I have spared myself hearing a lot of tantrums over the years by simply teaching the kids to say, "Help, please!" whenever they were getting frustrated with trying to do something. Hearing those two words is so much nicer than enduring a tantrum!
