Jemma Solomon’s hacks improve parenting efficiency and organization
Influencer Jemma Solomon has tested 15 organizational hacks aimed at helping busy mothers save time and reduce stress. Known for her business, The Label Lady, and her sister Stacey’s popular BBC show, Sort Your Life Out, Jemma claims to have effective solutions for everyday parenting challenges. Over the course of one week, Jemma worked with mum-of-three Emma Lazenby to test these tips. On the first day, Jemma suggested using hanging organizers for school clothes, allowing Emma to prepare outfits for each day in advance. This helped Emma feel more relaxed in the morning. After school, Jemma recommended a drop-down toiletry bag filled with snacks and toys for car rides, which helped prevent arguments during trips. At bedtime, Jemma introduced engaging YouTube videos for teaching kids proper tooth-brushing techniques, making the process more enjoyable for Emma's eight-year-old. On Tuesday, Jemma advised Emma to prepare 'slow cooker bags' to save time cooking meals. She also encouraged donating toys while allowing the kids to choose a new one. This method successfully eliminated clutter while making the kids excited about their new items. By Wednesday, laundry was a concern, but Jemma shared the washing machine's delay-start feature. This helped Emma save time and also keep her clothes fresh. Jemma's idea for organizing bedding by storing sets inside pillowcases was equally successful. As the week progressed, Jemma’s suggestions continued to simplify Emma's life. Magic snack boxes were a hit for after-school hunger. She even suggested tricking kids into going to bed earlier by changing the clocks, which proved effective for two out of three children. On the final day, Jemma recommended stocking the fridge before grocery shopping to avoid wasting food. Emma also used an electric scrubber to clean her oven quickly, making household chores more manageable. Emma found Jemma’s hacks to be life-changing and said she feels less stressed. These simpler routines save time, cut costs, and allow more enjoyable moments with her children. Emma plans to continue using these tips in the future.
