Quickly locate just the right button next time you lose one (heaven forbid)…

• When you buy a new item of clothing, use a fine-point permanent marker to label the outside of the spare-button pouch.
• Then, store all the extra buttons with your sewing supplies (i.e., needles and thread).
• Better yet, use a zip-top baggie to contain all those tiny, labeled spare-button pouches.
• Or, my personal favorite… Grab a needle and thread to blind-stitch the extra button directly onto the inside of your new garment.

You’ll never waste precious time looking for a replacement button again!

Discovered this great tip at ParentHacks.com :

To keep our umbrella stroller from tipping over from the weight of the diaper bag on the back, we bought a pair of ankle weights and put them on just above the front wheels. This keeps the stroller from tipping over especially when the child gets out.
