Mom's viral 'stay healthy station' is the TikTok hack we all wish we had

WATCH: Mom's viral 'stay healthy station' is the TikTok hack every parent needs

A Connecticut mom's "stay healthy" supplies station is taking over TikTok, as she inspires families with safety tips during the pandemic.

Shannon Doherty, of Darien, shared her creative hack with parents. Millions are loving Doherty's DIY sanitizing safety area, which includes candy-scented hand sanitizer, brightly colored face masks and a bowl of mask chains.

The station sits near Doherty's front door and her four kids are huge fans. Doherty made it easy for them to pick and choose what they're grabbing for each day, and even the masks were fabrics chosen by the children.
