Device Charging Station

Both kids now have devices so I knew I needed to create a charging station. I decided I wanted it in a central location, near an outlet, and in a spot I could monitor easily. This spot in our hallway is right outside our bedroom so I can hear it if a kiddo decides to wake up super early to play games (that's just not OK here, my kids don't cope well with lack of sleep). I had an Ikea Bekvam in my stash of home decor stuff so I mounted it to the wall.

We're all quite happy with the results.

Filling Refillable Pouches

I hate the waste of those little applesauce pouches but the convenience makes them so appealing. I make my own applesauce though I set out to find an easy way to fill the pouches I bought. With this simple solution, you don't have to purchase special pouches either, you can just reuse the ones you have.

Are you ready? You're going to kick yourself for not thinking of this first:

It's so simple. First fill the bottle with yogurt, smoothie, applesauce, etc. Screw on the top and use the pointy spout to fill that little pouch up. No need for the fancy pants zipper seal on the side of the pouch (like mine has, now we just leave them shut). I keep our condiment bottle full in the fridge so I can easily just fill a pouch or two before school.
