Bumkins SuperBib


It took me 6 years and three kids to discover this bib, but now that I have one, I'm getting rid of all others. Everything about this bib is perfect: the hook and loop closure is adjustable; it is just wide and long enough; it has a pocket; and it comes in cute prints. But the best thing about it is the fabric. The way I would describe it is "taffeta" with a little bit of waterproof coating on the back. It dries very quickly, so I can rinse it off, hang it to dry from a cabinet knob, and it's dry for the next meal. One bib is all you need!

Clean Day

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day is the brand. Countertop Spray is the product. BASIL is the scent. That's the important part. It smells so good, it makes me want to clean.





Could there be a better endorsement than that?

First product review

I think it's appropriate for my first post to review a product I believe belongs in a museum. It's a can opener. And I don't just think it should be in a can opener museum, if such a thing were to exist, or even a kitchen gadget museum, which I would totally have a season pass to; no, I think this can opener should be in the Museum of Modern Art.




It's the OXO Good Grips can opener. The one in my utensil drawer has been mine for over 10 years. I even had a mini fridge magnet replica of it which broke because it was not of same the superior quality as the original. Everything about this can opener is perfect. It's manual, obviously, with a simple and perfect design that is just chunky enough to make opening cans almost effortless. Automatic can openers? I scoff at your loudness, and the way you take up counter space. This humble version is the perfect balance between minimalism and cushiness, and cats don't some running when you use it.
