Blankie Bungee

Every once in a while you find something that is just a really good idea. Who ever invented those tethers for Binkies was pretty darn smart! Not that any of my kids ever took a binky. And it wasn't because I didn't give it to them! Trust me! But if they had I would have used them.

And I wish I would have known about Blankie Bungees 7 years ago!

You see these:

I saw them on droolicious. They are identical to the clips that used to come with dresses in the early 90s. You clipped the back of your dress sort of like a belt. Do you have any idea what I am talking about? I can't be the only one that had them? Can I?

The whole dress thing might not have been a good idea, but these are! Because they are used to do this:
It hooks your kiddos blanket to the car seat so that it doesn't fall off! And I am sure it works just as well on a stroller!

My kids were ALWAYS kicking their blankets off! Best case scenario they got dirty, worst they got lost. I would kiss the person that invented them, but they really didn't do me any good because I am past the kicking blankets off stage. So they missed out on a smooch from me!

Haha! You're not the only one who had one of these clipped onto her dress! I had at least three and thought they were so sassy. Of course I was like 10 years old, and I thought my wire-rimmed sunglasses with purple lenses were HOT, too.

Great idea!

I know exactly what you're talking about...and why did we think the little clippy thing on the back of dresses was cute? hmmm. Well, I think I like the purpose of them today. What a clever idea to use them to keep up with blankies!

That is a good idea. I lost baby shoes constantly. My son hated keeping his toes covered.
