Oil Cloth Mats make meals out easy
The other day I went out to eat, and spotted some new parents from across the room. How did I know they were parenting “newbies”? Answer: they were swabbing down the chair, table, etc. with wipes. I certainly appreciate their thoroughness, but after the first child you learn tricks. My secret weapon? It’s simple - an oil cloth chalk mat. I like to call it a placemat that doubles as an entertainment center. On one side it is a chalkboard that keeps your little one entertained until the food comes. On the other side, it’s a placemat that your sweetie can eat off of. (And you know it’s clean because it came with you!) My favorite chalk mats comes in 5 great colors: Black and White Polka Dot, Green Polka Dot, Green Gingham, Pink Gingham,and Pink Polka Dot . The chalk mat also comes with a Velcro pocket to hold the chalk. When you’re done, roll it up and stick it in your diaper bag. At only $24, it's worth the peace of mind at dinner.
