Individual simanim platters, freezer hacks, and the moment that you pause
Issue 91 // JAM
Hi!
Gearing up for a beautiful and busy time of year.
Let’s go!
Readers Respond
Readers had a lot to say about cleaning up toilet training accidents:
Here are a few tips or get the full set of replies here.
Keep this bag hanging on the bathroom door to easily drop in soiled clothes
Use Clorox wipes! Clean and sanitize in one.
Blot first, hard, and then use seltzer on carpets, don’t know why but it removes the odor
Use baking soda — on mattresses to draw out moisture and smells, and add a scoop to your washing machine to remove smells
For night times, layer a mattress protector, sheet, mattress protector, sheet so in middle of the night you can take off one set and put your child straight back to bed without having to remake it.
Personally, I like using mattress protector pads (similar to these) on top of the sheets which often prevent needing to change sheets at all.

JUST FOR YOU
🍎🍯TIP: Plate your simanim on palettes. (Had to reshare this tip because it’s tried-and-true, pretty and practical!) Use paint tray palettes (like these, $6.99 for 12 on Amazon) for easy, individual, disposable simanim plates. You can get fancy by printing a Yehi Ratzon card for the center.
👆 One year we were fancy enough to do that (but not fancy enough to get a high-quality pic).
🧊HACK: Freeze better. JAM readers have the best freezer tips and they’re all here for you. Plus we added a new one:
Use color-coded stickers to indicate which meal each pan is for. So instead of remembering which meats and sides you planned for this meal, you just grab all the red pans - and know that you’re set.
