I don't want to bore you with the "why" story of how I came up with this idea. Let's just say that I saw a need, and I fixed it. Have you ever seen the site "There I fixed it?" I feel like I could submit this. Maybe it's not that wacky, but it certainly made me think, "there, I fixed it!"
This is my grocery list*, held by a small binder clip, attached to a carabiner key chain, attached to a grocery cart. I even cut a piece of cardboard to put behind the paper so it's easier to scratch off items from the list.
Now that I have this 'contraption', my darling son won't eat my grocery list, and I can still put it down to continue my shopping. (I'm experimenting with hanging the pen on the binder clip, but so far, the pen just goes in my pocket when it's not in use)
Go ahead. Call me a nerd. I deserve it*.
*I created my own grocery master list. I even listed everything in the same order that my grocery store aisles are stocked.
Stop by We Are THAT Family to see what other nerds creative people are coming up with these days to make our lives a little easier.
you are not a nerd... you are a dork!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally submit it! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Since you are working from a master list, I wonder if you could even take it a step further and use a laminated piece of paper and an erasable marker (attached of course so that you can make it reusable! :)
