We've lived in our house for 6 years and still don't have a dining room table. Instead, we have a folding table that we basically use as a giant shelf and we stash hockey bags and our kids' ride-on toys underneath. It's too much trouble to get to the store and find a table we agree on and the folding table is so easy to scoot out of the way to make room for the kids to play.
Jen, that's impressive. But the fact that you actually scoot it out of the way for the kids, rather than making them play under and around the table, keeps it from being 100% trashy.
The question is, when you use the table to dine, do you clear it, or eat around the mess by pushing it all to one side of the table, as we do in my house?
And Andrea, of the funny and not-trashy blog Go Get Your Jacket , says
Except for very early on when they were still considered preemies, I have disinfected all binkies, sippies, etc dropped outside by the mom's saliva method. Better than Purell.
Nicely done, Andrea. Don't you know that even DOGS have cleaner mouths than we do? Well, okay, technically, that's bullshit. But it sounds really scary, doesn't it?
I have also employed the saliva method and it skeeves me the hell out. It reminds me of my mom or my great-aunt cleaning my face with saliva as a child.
Ewwwwww.
