Quick Tip: Straws and Little Ones

I spent the last few days with a very dear friend, and she thought I should share this with you!  I guess I've done it for so long, I didn't consider it unusual!

I used to call these little tricks and hints "Saturday Scoop", but I haven't done one for a LONG time -- so I'll just call this a "Quick Tip"!!

Often, when you eat at a fast food or other restaurant, the cups will be smaller -- but the straw is regular-sized!  This led to quite a few spills with my girls, because they would pick up the whole cup and tilt it almost horizontal to reach the straw.

To alleviate this problem, I started carrying a small pair of scissors in my purse to cut the straw!  I make it very short, so there is no need to tip the cup!

Our spill rate at restaurants has definitely decreased!
