How to Open a Jar!

Do you ever struggle with opening a jar? I do all the time! You can’t just wait for someone who could to materialize in your kitchen and force it open for you, right?

I have 2 simple hacks for you to solve this problem.

The first one, is your rubber kitchen gloves. You probably already have a pair and if not, you can easily buy them. The non-slip kind with the grippers are the best to reduce any chances of the jar slipping from your hands. The pair below is great! I also like that it has a built-in scrubber. Two birds with one stone!!

If that style is not for you, try this other pair of gloves featured below. The arms also have a non-slip design so water and soap wouldn’t sneak inside the gloves and get you wet.

This hack works well with smaller jars, ones that you can wrap your hands around the lid comfortably.

The second hack will work on MULTIPLE lid sizes and is available in several colors.

I personally prefer bold and bright colors to quickly spot the item I need in the drawer.

I like this gripper because I can put more force with less effort in twisting the lid while using it. Also, if you have any hand issues that can get in the way of you twisting the jar lid with your hands, this gripper will do most of the work for you. This method is best for those with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and similar health conditions.

You shouldn’t waste your time struggling to open a jar! Now we can focus on what’s inside 😊

How to organize your electronic devices

You have a phone, a tablet, a smart watch and sometimes more. As a mother of two kids with devices of their own, I got tired of lost chargers and fights over which charger belongs to who! There is a limit to how many times you can hear “Mom, she took my charger!”.

So I decided to buy a “charging station” for all of our devices and place it out of their room. This is a very simple and organized solution.
