Running the Household

Running a household takes artful logistics. We chicks are devoted to feeding everyone, taking people places, and finding a way to make the house not look like a bomb went off.

It can be done with a bit of diligence and good habits. And eventually, when children are old enough, we are blessed with that lovely little concept called delegating.  


French door-proofing

11/8/2013

We have some French doors in our house, and they lead to a top secret no-no realm that must be highly protected from toddler predators. It's my husband's office. He's really patient when little people come and go while he's in there, and we have a train set for them to play with, at his feet.

But we don't want to leave this room unsupervised, only to have certain members of our family under the age of two rearrange all the paperwork and buy a new portfolio of mutual funds on his laptop without realizing it. 

So he came up with this brilliant childproofing idea. He tied some string around the door knobs, and voila, no entrance for the little people. He did the same thing with pony-tail holders on cabinet knobs. If you are visiting someone's house and your toddlers are getting into things, a couple strings and some pony-tail holders could help.
