Flu season hack: Tape an empty tissue box to a full one for a built-in tissue "trash can"
Sarah (who has been sending me good hacks for years!) offers this germ containment strategy:
I use packaging tape to attach an empty tissue box to a full one (side by side) so that when my kids use a tissue they can stuff it into the empty box. No more stray dirty tissues lying around. Works great when someone has a cold and they are using lots of tissues in a short period of time.
So, so smart. When I empty the bathroom wastebasket, I invariably have to escaped used tissues. This way, no one has to touch them ever again.
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
I do this too! Great minds think alike!

It's a great idea for older kids. My younger two (4ish) consistently mix up the two boxes so the clean ones get sullied by a dirty one or a dirty one is reused.
