Lately, I'm a Mom on the Edge. I think this is simply part of being a mom, and I have three children, so there you go. My sister and I just invented a truly remarkable gadget called a Cinchi, which makes anything into a bib. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? It is! You can read all about it at the website, here: www.cinchi-ez-bib.weebly.com. I can't live without mine.
But here's the thing. Our cinchi was invented because we needed it. Recently, it's come to my attention that we need to invent a few more things. Here's my short list. You might think I'm joking, but I may actually make these items available:
A necklace with a microchip and speaker hidden in it, with a button you can press. A loud male voice will then boom, "Listen to your mother!" Or, maybe, "Go to your room!" Or, how about, "Stop licking your sister!" Okay, maybe not that one, but I actually did find myself saying that recently. Yet another thing I never expected to say...
Pants with a velcro seat: Most useful for keeping my two-year-old in her seat in the grocery cart. I don't know about you guys, but for me, those straps on the carts do nothing. My baby girl is probably Houdini, reincarnated. Nothing can hold her, including me. By the time I leave, I'm using the football carry, and pushing the cart with one hand, while Rae clears the shelves and the clerks yell, "cleanup on aisle 3!" It's just lucky they all think she's cute...
I figure I'll strap one side of the wide velcro pad onto the cart seat, and the other onto the back side of her pants. I'd use Super Glue, but this is reuseable, you see. It might work in the highchair, too. Hmmm. I might get some shopping done, after all!
Those are the latest. But it seems that every day brings new inventions, so If I come up with more, I'll definitely share them!
