Busy Toddler = Happy Mommy

This is one way I keep Mags busy in the kitchen when I've got my hands full cooking or baking... I saw this on Pinterest (of course) a long time ago and now I whip pipe cleaners and a colander out on random occasions when I need Maggie occupied (and out of trouble!)

You know she's focused when her tongue's out in concentration lol

While she's busy creating her masterpiece, I ask her what colors she's adding and have her count the pipe cleaners... she stays engaged with it for a while

Love simple things that make my girl (and me) happy!  =)
