By Lauren Levy

The internet has changed the game when it comes to parenting and has come in handy to moms and dads countless times, every single day to the point that most don't even realize it anymore. From allowing you to overnight those baseball cleats — from the comfort of the soccer game sidelines (which is when you first remembered about little league practice) — to giving you an endless arsenal of craft projects for when plans unexpectedly change, the internet is beyond helpful to millennial parents.

Even if you think of yourself as an unplugged parent or try to limit screen time, check out these 21 ways WiFi totally saved the day.

1. It allows you to capture the little things — and share them with loved ones.

2. It gives you an endless arsenal of healthy meals with easy directions — all at once.

3. It provides you with an alternative to dragging them to the store thanks to the beauty of online shopping.

6. It tricks them into getting excited to play educational games.
