Save on Dish Soap and Paper Plates

Here's what I found when I walked in the kitchen last night. My 10-year-old daughter made a beautiful, delicious custard that my 3-year-old proceeded to spill on (and eat off) the floor.

At about the same time I said, "Disgusting!", I had some sense to grab the camera.

Tips:

• Make sure your floor is clean! I use ammonia and water to clean my tile floors. I love the clean smell, and it's so cheap--a $1 container will last me for months.
• Reassure yourself that a little dirt won't hurt.
