This idea came to me many years ago after I had been thrown up on numerous times... I really couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've been puked on. The kids would run to the trash can if they couldn't make it to the bathroom so I thought, 'Why not get a trash can that they can carry with them?'. Pretty genius, huh? There is no way to tell you just how many times these simple buckets have saved the day. They keep our house running fairly smoothly when the flu season hits as I don't have to stop numerous times throughout the day to clean up vomit... yuck! I even keep one handy for myself as I start gagging when I hear someone else puking.

Many of you may remember when I posted about our Berkey system a few months ago. I was so excited to see the boxes on the porch when we got home from a dance that I stayed up late to get it all assembled and ready to go for the next day.

With our new Berkey, the problem was truly solved overnight!

Mommas, I know how things can get when you let the kids help out in the kitchen. They get underfoot and you have to repeat things over and over again and again. In fact, many times things seem to go faster when you don't let them help but trust me, you want them to help just as much as they want to help. In the long run, it will be beneficial to everyone if you can get them in the kitchen as soon as possible!
