Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

If you are a mother with active children, you realize that it can be difficult to keep up with everything from day to day.

Running from one event to another can get tiring, but it can also be frustrating when something gets messy in the process.

Of course, we realize that messes are inevitable and there is nothing we can do to avoid them completely. That being said, we can do what we can in order to keep them to a minimum.

Where do you turn when you need advice on how to handle kids’ messes? Like many people, you may turn to social media and TikTok always has a hack or two that is beneficial.

Emily Noris posted one of those hacks to her TikTok account recently and hundreds of thousands of people have watched it. It is a relatively simple act that only costs three dollars but it can save you a lot of time and frustration in the process.

She calls it a “sports mom hack” and says how a simple cleaning caddy has been saving her car.

The process is really very simple, she puts the caddy on the car floor under where her son is going to be sitting. He can sit down and put his feet in the caddy so the mud doesn’t get on the carpet.

Check out the hack in the video below:
