JUST A Q

Reader D asks: How do you encourage children (ages 12 & under) to keep the house tidy, especially when some of the mess is made by babies, toddlers, or guests who don’t tidy up after themselves?

JUST FOR YOU

🧩REC: Become a puzzle family. They are such an easy, fun, cozy way for the family to spend time together. If you have a space where you can leave the puzzle out, you’ll find people naturally gravitating towards it when they have a few minutes, nurturing bonding. (Plus the finished products make for fun decor! 👇)

Products we love for puzzling:

• Puzzle board and mat (for serious puzzlers, see simpler mats for a more affordable option)

• Puzzle glue

🍝HACK: Make pasta sauce in just a minute. Melt cream cheese, a splash of milk, and pasta sauce for a creamy sauce that comes together in seconds. A fam favorite here is simply adding a dollop of cream cheese and a splash of milk to a bowl of pasta, and microwaving for about a minute. Yum!

And, replace your cream cheese cover. To avoid this: You stocked up on cream cheese when there was a sale, and your kids keep an opening new ones because no one knows which one was already started. Just take a clear lid from your container stash and put it on the cream cheese- it fits! No more guessing games as to which cream cheese we should be taking out of the fridge. (Thanks Reader R for this tip!)
