A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

There Might Be a Better Way

We really need to baby proof our house. Ruthie is so curious and adventuresome and she loves getting into things. It is very fun watching her crawl all around and explore.

We have drug our heals in baby proofing, partially because we are lazy and partially because I didn't feel like having to unhook the knob every time I needed to use the bathroom.

But something has to be done - twice in the past 24 hours she has opened the cupboard door and taken all of our tea bags out of their boxes and spread them all over the kitchen floor.

So while we haven't yet decided what it looks like for us to "baby proof" this place, we have come up with a temporary solution.

Granted, there might be better way.

  1. If it works, and it's cheap, GO FOR IT! We used rubber bands on our lower cabinet knobs for a long time. Anna's little fingers weren't coordinated enough to grab and pull them off and it's was much easier for us to undo than the store bought kind. We finally did buy one store bought kind for the cleaners under the kitchen sink but it's surprising easy to pull off. We're not very impressed with it.
