So I was making dinner the other night and the girls were really driving me crazy. You know, the usual – right under my feet, pulling everything out of the cabinets, making ginormous messes. My blood pressure was rising and then I had a light bulb moment – give them something to keep their hands busy. I pulled out the strainer, grabbed the fuzzy sticks a.k.a. pipe cleaners, and let them have at it.
It worked – they were content to shove those pipe cleaners into the holes clear until dinner was done!
