We have four kids (for the moment!) that love to drink (no, NOT alcohol!!!). They drink milk, water, Cr*stal Li*ht and anything else they can find in the fridge. The problem was they would get a fresh cup EACH AND EVERY time they wanted a drink - then dump it in the sink. Needless to say, we would end each day with about 30 cups in the sink - most having only been used for a couple of sips.
SO, CP got the idea to get each of them ONE cup that they could use ALL DAY LONG!!! If they wanted to walk away from their cup, they were told to put it in the fridge. The cups then get washed after dinner and are ready to use again the next day. We bought them special cups with their name on them which they really love!! Voila! Simplify!
Now if I could just figure out how to keep up with the mail that comes into the house! LOL!

Fantastic!! And we are on the same page...because we have the exact same cups, altho I found them on clearance at Walgreen's for $.50 each. They didn't have the kids at home names, but they had an Abigail, Ryan, Sara, so we got some of our grown kids names and some others...kids who we lost who live with Jesus, etc...and so anyway, all the 5 littles have their own cup - totally helps!!
Thank you so much for postinG!!
Caught your blog from Linny's...Great idea! We have 4 and this is already a problem. It will get worse with 6 kids...I need to implement this!! :)
