No more crunchy floors

Ok, I am giving credit to my hubby for this next tip.

Almost as soon as we met my DH (darling hubby) told me I had to store my toaster in a metal dish. I have to admit those crumbs that escape the thing did annoy me and never mention that fact it could catch fire should you forget to clean it... for let's say....ever.

I used a simple metal rectangle casserole dish and proceeded to plunk it in. It fit perfectly and the best part is I can haul it out on the counter with no escapee crumbs littering the counter.

I wonder if I can find one large enough to fit a 35lb toddler.

Great tip! I've been doing this for years with an old Tupperware container that lost it's top eons ago!

My family always forget to clean it out, no fire yet. I just clean it the other day and I think gremlins came running out, HE HE HE HE

Great tip, maybe This will save me some cleaning.

If I do come across one to fit a 35lb toddler I will let you know. :)

I admit I tend to forget to clean my toaster regularly.

I have a friend whose toaster went up in flames one day; luckily she was home at the time and was able to put it out, but it was still pretty scary!

By the way, I tagged you on my blog. Which I am a little embarrassed about because I missed your tag. But I also thought it would be nice to get to know you better, so I included you in it anyway.

What I mean to say is: If you'd like to do the tag, that would be great. If not, I understand that too:)
