Buttons!

Members Were Sparked

From now on, I'm going to sew the extra buttons that come with clothing onto an inconspicuous place on the clothing! That way, if a button gets lost, I'll immediately know where to look for a replacement!

Never lose a button again!

Put clear nail polish on the inside of a new clothing item's buttons threads and never lose a button again.

MORE INFORMATION:
Most buttons are done in a factory by machine and they aren't backstitched to prevent the button from coming lose. A few dabs of clear nail polish on the threads that are holding the button on, will stop your buttons from falling off. I have yet to lose a button!

Bendy Button Caterpillar

what you need......Chenille stems / Buttons / Mini googly / eyes Glue

MORE INFORMATION:
Bend the end of a chenille stem so the buttons don't fall off.
Hand the stem and a pile of buttons to your child. He/she will know what to do! I was surprised myself! After the "body" is done, bend the rest of the chenille stem to make the head. Make a loop around the bottom to form a mouth. Glue

Nutrition Notes

I've started using the "Nutrition Notes" toward the bottom of the "My Nutrition" page to (a) track what times I eat my 5-6 meals a day, and (b) track what new foods (or in my case, protein bars) I've tried and whether I liked them or not. This makes it easier when trying to remember whether I liked a particular flavor, and whether I should buy it again or not. WAY easier than scrolling through each day because you can print a "Nutrition Notes Report". SO HANDY!!!

MORE INFORMATION:
Simply click the "See Notes Report" button and select the dates you wish to view.
