Life Hacks
for infants
Cardboard Creations
In times like these, seeing the same space can get old. Cardboard Creations is a great way to reinvent your space.
This is a life hack you must have!!! I am serious. Any time I would do crafts with the kids involving Elmer's glue, I would try to use a paint brush and it would always be permanently ruined after that. I got this baster brush at the dollar store. The silicone bristles are key to what makes it work well. Rinse it in the sink, and the glue comes right off. If you really wanted, you could easily load it into your dishwasher.
