Container Store Gift Card Winner
June 29, 2007
I had fun reading the many tips I received, and I know I’ll be putting some of them to good use in the coming months.
I said way back when this contest began that I would pick the winner, and I was looking for something I hadn’t heard before, something I’d probably have never thought of on my own.
There were definitely a number of those, but there was one that I thought of over and over–Jennifer’s tip of pre-packing child activity bags. Here it is again, in case you missed it.
Jennifer says, “Organize your tote bag and minimize chaos while in a ‘waiting’ situation with a child (doctor’s office, restaurant, car, etc.) by pre-packing activity packs. Pack bags with small, quiet activities such as crayons, stickers, pad of paper, small cars, deck of cards, snacks, etc.
I suggest making several different packs for each child in your family based on their age and interest. Set all in a basket by the door so that you can grab them and enjoy the peace and quiet that follows.”
So Jennifer is our winner. Thanks so much for the tip, Jennifer!
And thank you to everyone who entered. It was a bit more work than I expected but a lot of fun. Maybe we’ll have to do this again next year.
In the meantime, you have until the end of the month to enter the contest for Rene Gutteridge’s latest book Snitch. If you like comedy and suspense, this book’ll be right up your alley.

Wow, that’s a ton of great tips! I can only imagine how hard it was for you to choose.
