The sun has arrived in Ireland…

And with the sun comes in paddling pools.

Only last week I was coerced by my kids to pull our one out of the shed and blow it up.

With it being Ireland though, it’s cloudy one minute and sunny the next, so hauling the pool in and out of the shed every time the rain threatens can be exhausting.

To save you going through all the effort of emptying and packing away your pool when you may need to pull it out again soon, why not try this super simple trick.

Posted by Bathtime Buddies on Facebook this hack is so easy to do.

The photo shows how you can use a fitted sheet as a pool cover to keep your pool water clean while it’s not in use.

Using a fitted sheet is so handy because it can be stretched to fit any size and shape that your pool may be!

I’m absolutely loving all these parenting summer time tricks like this paddling pool one, but I’m not surprised at how ingenious parents can be.

When you’ve got little people in your life you often have to think on your feet.

Have you had to come up with any parenting hacks with your family lately? If so what were they?
