Parenting hacks for badass moms—And anyone raising tiny humans

March, 2025

There is nothing in the world we love more than caring for our tiny humans. But let’s be real: showing up with patience, creativity, and humor is hard when we’re exhausted and overwhelmed.

We want to be fully present, savor the small moments, and actually enjoy this wild, beautiful ride of parenting. But how do we do that when the logistics of life keep pulling us away?That’s where AI comes in.

1. Tell Epic Bedtime Stories with ChatGPT Voice

It’s 8 PM. Or maybe 9. You’re not even sure anymore. Your child is tucked in—pajamas on, teeth brushed (after a ten-minute negotiation about why toothpaste is not optional). You should be done. But no. They want a bedtime story. And not just any story—something new. Your brain, however, is mush.

This is where ChatGPT’s Voice saves the night (ChatGPT Plus, $20 per month)

  1. Open ChatGPT

  2. Look for the Voice Mode button at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap it, say "Tell a bedtime story", or even better, "Tell a bedtime story about a glowing purple dragon who paints the sky at night. Make it dramatic, full of colors, and as unrealistic as possible."

  4. Have a bilingual household? Ask for the story in another language.

  5. Need a laugh? Try, "Make it rhyme—and add a plot twist!" (Who doesn’t love a plot twist?)

Sure, AI won’t replace the magic of a parent telling a story, but it will stop you from rushing through a two-minute version of Frozen because you’re just really tired.

2. Find fun, age-appropriate activities with Kinedu

It’s Friday evening. It’s raining. It’s been a long week, and you just want to wind down with your toddler. But if you have to roll out one more Play-Doh ball, you might actually lose it.

What else is there to do? Scrolling through Pinterest boards and Instagram reels for ideas feels like yet another chore.

Let us introduce you to Kinedu (Premium version for $7 per month)

It creates personalized, research-backed activity plans based on your child’s age, interests, and developmental stage.

  1. Complete your child's assessment.

  2. Visit the Playtime Ideas section for personalized suggestions.

  3. Use the search bar to find activities tailored to your needs: Type mud if it’s raining. Try independent play activities.

No more panic-printing coloring sheets at 7 AM while chugging coffee. Just simple, engaging play—without the mental load. And you get to enjoy the moment with your child.

3. Plan dinner with Ollie AI

Dinner time is creeping up, the kids are hangry, and you’re staring into the fridge like it’s going to answer your problems. You just went grocery shopping and swore you’d cook all the meals you planned—but now it’s Tuesday, you’re exhausted, and somehow, the only thing that sounds good is takeout.

This is where Ollie AI saves the day (Free)

No more last-minute meal panic, wasted groceries, or toddler meltdowns at dinnertime. Ollie takes the mental load out of meal prep, so you can actually enjoy mealtime with your family—without the stress.

  1. Set Your Preferences: Tell Ollie what your family eats—quick dinners, kid-friendly meals, vegetarian options, or anything else.

  2. Get a Weekly Meal Plan: Ollie generates realistic, doable meal suggestions, so you’re not scrambling to decide what’s for dinner every night.

  3. Generate a Smart Grocery List: With one tap, Ollie creates a custom shopping list based on your meal plan, so you only buy what you need.

  4. Use What You Have: If plans change midweek, just ask, “I have chicken, spinach, and rice. What can I make?” Ollie will suggest easy recipes with what’s already in your fridge.

It won’t convince your kid that broccoli isn’t the enemy, but it will stop you from defaulting to cereal for dinner—again.Join the She Runs on AI community.
