So yesterday I was cooking my Cinco De Mayo dinner and had my son, Ian, in his high chair in the kitchen with me. I put a few Little Puffs on the tray to distract him and once most of them met there end on the floor rather than his mouth I decided to give him his sippy cup. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but then he kept dropping it on the floor (which of course is super clean, so why should it matter, right? Ha, clean, yeah right!). That is when the light bulb came on above my head...attach it to his shirt with a paci-clip!!! There is nothing like using something for more than one thing to get me excited. So I found the clip and attached the part that would usually be on the pacifier to the handle of the siipy cup. This worked out great! No more dropping it on the floor!
What kind of things have you been able to get more than one "normal" use out of? Also, you can find more frugal tips (I say this is frugal because you are double using something) at We Are THAT Family.

Wish I'd thought of this trick when my kids were dropping their cups no the floor! Thanks for stopping by my blog. My oldest is 7 and still my living room floor looks like a toy store.
great idea! I'm going to do that!!
I do believe I just heard the devil say, "Crap- that's one smart mama!" Your blog header and this post brought a smile to my face!
