We heard you loud and clear. When we published our first list of clever ideas to make life easier last year, we received an overwhelming response. So without further ado, here’s another 25 ingenious household tips and organisational tricks that will have you saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”
If you prefer their snack without a side serve of dirt, gravel or worse (and you’re not blessed with ninja reflexes) the Gnaw by Boon is a must have gadget for every nappy bag! We know ’throw the rusk’ is baby’s favourite sport (it’s so entertaining watching Mummy freak and dive) but baby better find a new pastime cause that snack’s not going anywhere! One end clips on to clothing while the other one clutches your bub’s food.
