40 Moms Who Are Living in the Year 3021 While the Rest of Us Are Still Here

Becoming a mother triggers a transformation in which one becomes highly adaptable. Not only do mothers need to tend to their own needs, but they must also tend to the needs of their child, which enhances their ability to think creatively. Consequently, mothers tend to be resourceful, utilizing items in unconventional ways to resolve daily challenges. Several moms have displayed remarkable inventiveness, appearing to live in the future while the rest of us continue to reside in the present.

Wiped Clean

Moms often desire to clean themselves up and hit the bed to relax after a rigorous day. Nonetheless, for numerous moms, this activity also involves the nightly task of removing their makeup – a very tiresome task, especially if they don’t possess the appropriate equipment.


Although it may not have occurred to us initially, using an unused panty liner as a makeup removal pad appears to be a surprisingly useful solution.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Regrettably, as soon as one becomes a mother or parent, their possessions are usually shared with others. Hence, if one desires to keep something for their own use, they must be extremely innovative and strategic about the places and methods they employ to conceal it.


This is quite clever because it’s unlikely for anyone to search within a mother’s tampon box to find a hidden snack. Furthermore, let’s be honest – nobody wants their Girl Scouts cookies meddled with!

Cushioning the Blow

If you are moving something with a pointed end to another location, it is crucial to be cautious about how you secure it in the transportation mode. Failure to do so could result in possible harm.


Given her understanding of the situation, this woman demonstrated cleverness by utilizing her baby’s diapers in a different way, making the most of what she had available.

Delicious and Healthy

Getting children to eat nutritionally beneficial food is a major obstacle for mothers worldwide. Frequently, these foods are items that children refuse to consume, so when they eventually acquiesce, it is a significant achievement.


Which child doesn’t enjoy ice cream? Contemplating this, a mother devised a brilliant concept. However, the uncertainty lies in how effectively other fruits will work. It appears that strawberries are an ideal fit for this idea, but it is uncertain whether a cantaloupe will work well or not.

Keeping Dry

For a nursing mother, it is highly unfavorable to overlook her breast pads since it can result in awkward moments. To avoid such scenarios, she may have to rely on her ingenuity. Unfortunately, this lady learns this lesson after undergoing some difficulty.


However, she managed the situation skillfully and swiftly. In the end, since diapers are designed to absorb substances, the substance being absorbed doesn’t really make a difference. That was an extremely proactive approach!

Staying Fresh

If you own a feline, you likely understand that opening a can of cat food often results in discarding around fifty percent of it. This practice is not just wasteful but also irritating and potentially malodorous.


However, this lady discovered an excellent solution for that issue. It’s quite clever to use used coffee cup covers to ensure the cat’s food remains fresh.

Repurposing Old Toys

As your children get older, some toys may be left behind or become so damaged that they cannot be used anymore. Nonetheless, it’s unnecessary to discard them!


Even if toys are not being used, they can still be utilized by finding a new purpose for them. This woman showed her creativity and resourcefulness by using a sled as a planter.

Tapping Into Resources

As a mother, you soon realize that your children’s interests and preferences change rapidly. However, such transitions can be costly as they require acquiring new equipment and gear for each new hobby.


This mother found a clever way to avoid spending money on new tap shoes for their child. Instead, she attached coins to the soles of their shoes, allowing them to tap dance freely. If the child continues to enjoy tap dancing for some time, the mother may consider purchasing proper tap shoes.

This Rules

Currently, most children own electronic devices like televisions that entail the use of remotes in their rooms. However, just like with any other possession, be it toys or socks, the task of searching for the remote might consume more time than the actual utilization of the gadget.


This mother became exhausted with the entire procedure and devised a method to rectify the issue. It appears that fastening it to the measuring tool the child often employs is a suitable remedy.

Thinking Outside the Box

Engaging in enjoyable art activities with your children is a great way to spend some quality time with them. However, if you lack artistic skills and struggle to execute tasks such as constructing a gingerbread house to perfection, there’s no need to worry. It’s perfectly fine too!


Simply follow the example of this mother and use your imagination. This mother is evidently very imaginative as she came up with the idea to include a dinosaur, creating a scene reminiscent of Jurassic Park.

Stay Cool

It can be quite frustrating when you have a cold beverage and nowhere to put it, leaving you with no choice but to hold it and endure the discomfort of freezing hands.


However, instead of addressing the issue directly, the woman opted to simply reach behind and utilize her baby’s diaper to wrap around the cup. This clever method not only shields one’s fingers, but also serves as an absorbent surface for any condensation.

No More Mess

Despite how neatly arranged the food of your child is, they usually end up making a significant mess of it. However, when you provide them with something incredibly messy, such as a burrito, you must be prepared to clean up after them.


Alternatively, if you want to keep enjoying this tasty meal without making a mess, Mama bear can show you a clever method. She appears to have a great handle on parenting.

New Car Scent

As a mother, it is not uncommon to have to grab a quick meal in between completing errands and doing household tasks. This often involves having to stop at a drive-thru for fast food on occasion.


It could also imply a delay in getting your food. This mother came up with a creative solution to warm up her son’s fries after he expressed dissatisfaction with them being cold and wet. Although it is uncertain if they will taste good, the idea is still somewhat ingenious.

Keeping Them Occupied

In modern times, a majority of parents opt to use cars as their mode of transportation. They utilize technology to keep their young children engaged while on any trip, be it for daily errands or a long journey. By playing a cartoon or a movie, they manage to keep their kids entertained and occupied, allowing the parents to focus on their tasks.


Nevertheless, the mother had to come up with a solution to accomplish this task despite her baby’s car seat being rear-facing for safety reasons. She demonstrated her resourcefulness and ability to adapt by utilizing a freezer bag in a clever and inventive manner, ultimately saving the day.

Super Idea

Concerning children’s toys, there are often numerous tiny components associated with them. The tinier the element, the higher the chances of your child misplacing it, which may lead to an unpleasant experience when you eventually come across it.


It appears that this mother was becoming exhausted from tripping over small shoes, thus she affixed them to the dolls’ feet with the aid of liquid super glue.

In a Pinch

As a mother, you will soon learn that you will face unforeseen or surprising circumstances. It could be scenarios where you have insufficient or no diapers at all. These incidents occur, but you can handle them.


This mom did a great job not panicking and instead, thought quickly on her feet. It may not be Huggies-level, but it certainly gets the job done!

Hauling It In

When you have a large family, it means going to a grocery store will result in large amounts of food at home. If no one is willing to help you, that means sometimes you’re gonna have to make several trips.


This mom really thought ahead and opted to utilize a little help so she doesn’t have to worry about doing it all on her own.

Wrapping it Up

Every year, when the holiday season rolls around, most moms go out and buy a ton of wrapping paper — though half of it doesn’t get used, and then you end up with a closet full of paper to plow through the following year.


We bet that this woman’s closet doesn’t look like a paper massacre — considering that she’s smart enough to use a spare sock instead of Scotch tape.

What M&M’s?

There’s nothing wrong with giving kids treats, snacks, and chocolates — though it’s not something that should happen all the time. Still, moms and adults are not kids, and sometimes they just want to snack on some sweet treats without having to share.


How do you do that without letting your kids see what you’re doing? This mom thought of a brilliant way and just simply made it look like she was having her everyday cup of coffee.

Clipping It

Creativity can seriously go a long way. While there are plenty of fancy clips and bands that you can purchase to seal your snacks and chip bags, why spend money when you can repurpose something at home?


We would have never thought about using these plastic hangers to seal our bag of potato chips — but we’re definitely taking some pointers now. Some people are just so innovative!

Stay Hydrated

It’s essential to stay hydrated no matter what age you are. But, if you’re dealing with a few small children, having to grab the cups or glasses for them can be quite time-consuming and perhaps even a bit frustrating.


So, this OP figured a way out to solve that problem. With the use of command strips, her kids just got that much more independent! Thanks, Mom!

Rolling on In

Sometimes, things have to get done. Mothers have a lot on their plate and so, there isn’t always enough time to wait for other people to help. As a result, many parents have to turn to their creativity and instincts to solve their problems.


Choosing to use your child’s toy roller skates to help move furniture around is genius! Not only will this reduce the risk of scratches, but it’s also just more efficient all-around.

Stay Fresh

The last thing you want to do is pop a few Goldfish into your mouth only to realize that they’ve gone stale. This means that, much like chips, you have to find a way to ensure the bag stays sealed.


Thinking fast on her feet, this woman reached over and took that label off her kid’s brand new shirt to seal the bag shut.

Stand Up

Oftentimes, as a parent, you have to multitask. Perhaps you want to take care of chores around the house and keep your kids entertained at the same time. Maybe you’re at a restaurant and you’re trying to calm your rowdy child so you can have a few moments to eat your food and chat with your spouse.


Whatever the case may be, you may have to find a hands-free solution in order to stand your phone up on its own. This mom simply reached over and used what she had on hand — her kid’s Lego set. There’s probably a market for something like this!

Cheese Stopper

Sometimes, when you’re cooking for your family or even hosting, you might want to have a few drinks. But, just because you open a bottle doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to finish it in that sitting.


If you didn’t keep the cork, then you could very well be wasting the rest of that bottle — unless you decide to get a little resourceful. This woman looked around in her fridge and found something that could replace the cork, a string-cheese stick.

Elf in a Hammock

Originally a book, Elf on a Shelf has become somewhat of a holiday tradition. Basically, parents move the toy elf around the house to trick their kids into thinking that the elf is somehow alive. Though that might sound creepy, it’s actually quite entertaining.


This mom thought it would be humorous to utilize a spare mask by transforming it into a makeshift hammock of sorts. In all honesty, we had a good laugh at this one…

Warm it Up

When you’ve just had a baby and you’re breastfeeding, there are a lot of extra steps needed to ensure that you always have enough ready for the child. One of those steps happens to be pumping, so that you can store your milk for later.


But, no one wants to place a pair of cold pumps near their most delicate areas. So, this woman figured out a way to avoid this — and all it took was a mini heater!

Pairing Up

No matter how old you are, there’s always that chance you could lose or misplace a sock. It just so happens that kids tend to do it more, which means moms have to be on their game.


This mom took a little extra time to ensure that her kid’s socks would always remain together. She did this by sewing in a button for easy clipping! Innovative and cute — what more can you ask for?!

Shocking!

As a parent, one of the biggest things you’re in charge of is your child’s safety. This is why so many expecting mothers and fathers alike go through the house and kid-proof anything and everything that could be harmful.


One of the ways to childproof is to put caps over the electrical sockets. Rather than breaking the bank by spending a bunch of money on new sockets, though, this woman looked no further than her bathroom. Who knew that an old packet of wipes could be transformed into an electrical socket?!

Rev it Up

If you’re out on the road and don’t have a way to warm up your baby’s bottle, don’t fret. If you’re anything like this mom, you’re more skilled than you think. After a few moments of panic, she realized that she could up her kid’s milk right in the palm of her hands.


We’re not sure many moms would think to do this. Still, it’s quite a brilliant solution — especially if you’re out on the road.

Caffeine Fix

Moms have a lot to do and so, they need quite a bit of energy. Many choose coffee, or caffeine. Though too much of anything is bad, a hefty dose of caffeine can help you get through the day. From the looks of it, this mommy would agree.


Instead of dirtying new dishes, she can just slip a straw in the little hole on the top of the coffee pot, and she’s got herself a large makeshift cup of joe.

Let There Be Light!

Imagine — you’re in the middle of an important chore or serious phone call when your kid begins calling for you. Frustrating, right? Even more so when they’re calling you for the simplest things.


This mom got tired of always having to run to the other room and turn the light switch on for her kid. So, she got resourceful with a plastic straw and some tape.

Reimagining Breakfast

Kids can be pretty picky. On top of this, they go through all kinds of different phases where they may like something one day and despite it the next. This is especially true when it comes to food.


We think this mom is pretty clever, simply because she had her kids reimagine their French toast with jam as French fries with ketchup.

No More Dishes

There are so many chores in a mother’s everyday life that finding ways to eliminate some of them is always a great idea. One of the biggest could very well be dishes, especially when you have little ones.


This mom is pretty ingenious not only because she’s eliminated having to wash another dish, but she’s also helped with keeping hands clean. After all, isn’t it hard when you reach down into the popcorn bag only for your hand to rub against the sides and absorb all the grease?

Reducing the Sparkle

To keep their kids busy, many moms love to do a little arts and crafts. When kids are young, this typically means markers, paints, and even glitter. But, as we all know, glitter gets everywhere, so looking for a way to reduce the mess is recommended.


How clever is this mom? She realized that she could use salt and pepper shakers — not only as a place to house the glitter but also as a tool to actually use the glitter in art projects. So smart!

Able to Travel

If you love to travel, then you know it’s challenging right now, thanks to all the new regulations. These regulations go for everybody, including people like Santa Claus and his elves — or at least, that’s what this mom thinks!


We think this is a really innovative idea as it allows her to teach her kids about all these new guidelines in a fun and interactive way!
