“Mommy hack, I wish I had found it sooner,” said the young mother behind it (@juneandivory).

Shopping was serious business for the woman, whose shopping cart was full of clear, stackable storage containers.

“It saved a lot of time and arguments before school!” she explained.

And the DIY mom wasn’t finished yet.

She also had a series of cutouts for her sons’ names and each day of the school week.

At the big reveal, the successfully arranged containers were shown – now organized by child’s name and day of the week.

She set about stocking each boy’s own vertical row with their favorite items to make preparing for the return to school a breeze.

She also explained what she put in the designated containers: “Socks and underwear for the daily outfit and pajama pull-ups.”

By the time she was finished, every boy was actually ready for the school week.

“Yes! Go Mom!” said one follower, who seemed motivated to make her own life a little easier.

This mom just wanted to learn her lesson in organizing to make things less stressful for other parents out there.

Another viewer jokingly had a different idea for the Target trick: “I’m 36 and I could use this for myself.”

Although she said she couldn’t take credit for what she described as a “life-changing” hack, she explained that she now does it every Sunday for her three older sons.
