Mom Hack
Here's a cool invention: a pacifier that dispenses medicine.
Administer medicine with a quick squeeze, then let the pacifier soothe your baby.
Less dramatic and more efficient.
Together with Force of Nature
Salt, water, and vinegar
Moms, back away from the bleach.
You can kill germs without the harsh stuff.
Force of Nature is a small countertop device that turns salt, water, and vinegar into a multi-surface cleaner and EPA registered disinfectant. It kills 99.9% of germs when used as directed.
No chemical smell. No fumes. Nothing you have to rinse off a high chair tray before your kid eats off it.
One bottle handles counters, toys, pet areas, and the "how did that get sticky?" moments.
It also replaces the spray, the glass cleaner, and the disinfectant under your sink. HEY15.

“In an effort to not add to the PILES of clothes that get thrown out every day, our house rules are thrifted, gifted or made. We use this rule for as much as we can reasonably. Obviously we're not perfect, (my Amazon history has a lot to say) but we're trying.”
I love this rule, and we’re definitely not checking anyone’s Amazon history around here. 😂 - Danielle 😊
