Realizing I Know Nothing
The Good Things
Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder
Dec 4th
I will say this now — I have never used this as a fresh food feeder. We (on the advice of my cousin) use it as a teether. Slap in an ice cube and hand it off. It only took a few seconds for the boy to realize what he had in his hands. A bib is also recommended.
I guess I should offer the disclaimer that this is an off label use and to not proceed using it this way at all since taking responsibility for yourself has gone the way of the dodo. Anyway, you can find the Munchkin More >
Mabel’s Labels
Nov 30th
I won’t tell her, but my wife was the one who found these labels — although it was by way of her sister. Anyway, our neighbors to the north got something right — Mabel’s Labels are awesome.
