I think *somebody* must be getting tired of washing 10,000 cups a day......


Another one of those - why didn't I think of this before - things.

We will probably be doing that at the lake this weekend if someone remembers to bring a Sharpie!

I hear you there. Three kids and their friends equals a lot of dishes.

Thank you for stopping by my blog Little Tots Big Ideas.

Hi, Charlene-We do this all of the time at parties, so why not save ourselves some dishpan hands at home, too? Then you can just pitch them at the end of the day. My Hubby likes drinking out of glasses, so we're trying to "phase out" the plastic cups. I've thought about making those personalized coasters so everyone remembers where they set down their glass! Here's hoping all is well with you and your family. -EW

Two summers ago my mom totally did that with our cups! It worked great and saved SO many dishes!

I do that every single day! It is such a help with dishes.

Genius!

No kidding. Not just labeling the cups, but using disposable. Sometimes your sanity just needs a little break.

I wrote a post once about spending a week with only disposables just to deal with the overwhelming nature of motherhood. Real Simple for the Barely Functioning.

I honestly don't usually push my blog, but I thought you might connect with this one.

Oh, and I found you through SITS.

Stopping by from SITS. Hmmm....wonder who that could be? Great idea!

I do this when we have playdates or parties but it never dawned on me to do it on a daily basis!! Do you realize how many cups this would save me and how many fights I wouldn't have to break up?? Well, of course you do....you've got a zillion kids, just like me!

You are a genius!!!!

We do this at my house, but with plastic cups. I wrote on the sides with a paint marker. Saves so many dishes!
