Homemade popcicles.. fail!

The weather is starting to get warmer and with the nicer weather comes popsicle season.  Last year I had bought the $1 diy popcicle mold and they have since broken.   We are also in the process of packing to move, so I have no clue where anything is.  When Mae asked for popcicles, I had the great idea to use plastic spoons in an ice cube tray.  She helped me pour the orange juice into the tray and we put one spoon in each of the 6 filled squares.  A few hours later, it seemed like the idea would work.   I ran some water on the plastic and the first "spoon-pop" came loose.  Unfortunately,  ir was only a matter of minutes before it popped off of the spoon.  We resorted to crunching it up in a bowl and eating it with the spoon.  Looks like I'm on the hunt for more popcicle molds... or ill have to pick up some popcicle sticks!

Drawer Dividers

We're starting to clean out our house to eventually put it on the market, so I took a Saturday morning and decided to weed through my clothes.  Two Goodwill-labeled garbage bags full of of tube tops, short shirts, and way too low cut pants that just won't work for this momma anymore, and I was left with a still full dresser and a half full three-drawer plastic bin taking up entirely too much space in my closet.  In order to make space in the closet, the three-drawer bin had to go.  To free up space in the dresser, I combine two drawers using a quick, cheap divider.

Here's one of the original drawers.  I measured the width, depth, and height of the drawer.  Mine was 15" x 13" x 5".

I scoured the basement for something that would be rigid enough to act as a wall but was easy to cut.  I decided to use a cardboard box.  For each drawer, I cut one piece that was slightly under 15" x 5" and one that was slightly under 13"x5".   (Mayleigh decided that I needed a snowman pin in the picture.)

By this point, I had 2 helpers.  Kezzie practiced his standing while Mae "clipped" and wrote her "list" on the cardboard.

I don't have a picture of it, in the middle of each piece, I cut a slit 3/4 of the way through the cardboard then merged the two pieces together and fit it into the emptied drawer.

Here's what I came up with.

It's not the prettiest solution, but it freed up one of my drawers and I was able to get the plastic cart out of the closet!
