“I wanted to share a little idea instead of asking for advice this time,” Emily shared in her post in our Facebook group.
It was a little idea that generated a great number of likes and comments, and like all the other mums in our group, we loved it so much, we had to share it with you (with Emily’s permission, of course).

We’ll pat her on her back for her genius hack too!
