child proofing

Thanks to my parents, we now have a real baby lock for our cabinets under our kitchen sink that house all sorts of chemical stuff Arabella was starting to investigate.

This is our child safety lock we had been using. It's the elastic strip on an old pair of Justin's boxers turned cleaning rag. This solution is one parts Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People by Amy Sedaris (which by the way, was under the Christmas tree for me from my hubby-imagine my surprise and his joy when I realized there were no actual crafts in this book I would attempt) and two parts trailer park, with a dash of Filipino. If you ever thought for a moment that my family and I are the classy type, think again.
