  • 7-draw Pick-Up Take a 7-draw roller type bin (you can also use a 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 type of bin), preferablly with caster wheels for easy movement and can be use as a great pick me up container for everything hat are use once and left in the bathroom, livingroom. kitchen, or bedroom. These items are small in nature like for an example: hair barrettes,small toy items from local food takeout places giving the little one a toy. Also can be use as a good orginer for yourself and the whole family with their name on a bin to put small items aways. Great idea to keep the clutter down and also enjoyable way for the little one to open one bin and dicover a toy they forgetten and they think it a new one. Also great for raining days with the young ones say they have nothing to do. Make a game out ot it. Take one bin and tell the kids were are giong on a trip or a saverage hunt and find things. You can come up with great ideas on your own with a potable plastic type bin with rollers, which is easy to move from room to room too. Also it is great with kids to see through the plastic container and they realized they found something they lost or found something new. All in the nutshell it provides Mom with less complaining for the little ones to pick up small toys or items off the table, floor etc. Better yet it is fun and teaches everybody responsible to pickup after themselves! I use two bins for my grandchildren. Coey is 7 and Cayla is 4. When they come to grandmother's house they know they have always something mew to play with without buying any extra toys,items they forgot they had at the house. Great way to assort things that need to giving away ot thrown out. Esp. for the pack rat or declutter type of person that likes organization. Well I just wanted to let you know this project save me time and energy for less pick me up days to keep the house clean. Submitted By: Ruby A.

  • A Cool way to make Koolaid! It's no doubt that kids love koolaid drinks. And when you have enough kids, it don't take long to go through a pitcher. So to save you time from making koolaid all day, just pre-mix it. You can have the kids help make the pre-mix. Just add your cup of sugar and koolaid packet into a zipper baggie. With a marker, write the flavor on the baggie. Make several pre-mixed baggies. When it is time to make the koolaid, the kids' can get a baggie from the cupboard and just add water and stir.

  • A Hand For Boo Boos Here is something great to have around for when our littles ones fall down and scrape a leg or arm or even get stung by a bee. Take a latex glove and fill the fingers with rubbing alcohol, then fill the rest up with water to look like a swollen hand and put in freezer to have for the little falls. It will not freeze completely, and this lets it contour around the leg or arm. Or where every the injury may be. And helps the swelling and the pain. Keep it in your freezer at all times and you will have it when need in an injury. It also helps the tears go away when the kids use the hand shape freezy. They love using it. Helps headaches go away also. Give it a try and you`ll see how the kids stop crying when using this semi-frozen hand on thier booboos..

  • A Very Refreshing Treat This is a great treat for children, and mommy's too, on hot days. Start out with a healthy looking bunch of seedless grapes. Wash them and let them dry on a paper towel for a bit, then pull the grapes off the stems. Use little individual size ziploc baggies and put 10 or so grapes per bag. Lay the bags in the freezer . Freeze them overnight and you have a great frozen, healthy and yummy treat for your child on a hot day. When that frozen grapes hits your mouth and starts to melt...yummmm Submitted By: Cheryl(Added: 12-Apr-2001 Hits: 0 Rating: 10.00 Votes: 1) Rate It

  • Baby Food Jars Have you ever thought about what to do with baby food jars? I am a mother of twin, ten month old girls, and we go through 10-12 jars PER DAY. What I have come up with is going to Wal-Mart, or anywhere, and purchasing wick. Fill the jars up, and make your own little candles. I have been selling them for ten months now. I offer scented and non-scented ones, and I sell them for $3.50 a jar. If you are interested in seeing my products, feel free to email me at dione74@msn.com and adding the words "Candles" in the subject line.

  • Bags in the diaper bag While I was at the pet store, I found a product called "Bags on Board". It is a small plastic container that holds 12 bags (for cleaning up after your dog) which are big enough to hold dirty diapers. Carrying the container is much easier and neater than carrying around loose bags. Submitted By: Bryna Darling(Added: 21-Mar-2002 Hits: 0 Rating: 8.33 Votes: 3) Rate It
