Great Juice Box Tip!

Thanks to my bloggie friend Lisa at womenhavingitall for posting this great tip a while back!

How many times have you stuck that little straw in to the juice box and had the juice spray out all over everywhere? Especially when you've got a 3 1/2 year old who insists on inserting the straw himself!

Here's the tip...

Before doing anything else, flip up those flaps on both sides of the top of the juice box. You know, the ones that fold down over the sides. When you do this, it opens up a little more space inside the box when the straw is inserted, so the juice just fills that space instead of squirting all over your floor. Lisa has a great graphic on her site.

I've used this tip every time we've used a juice box, and it really works! I've passed the tip on to others, and they want to know how I figured it out. Can't take credit. That goes to Lisa and her mom. But it works so well I just have to pass it on further!
