dish washing solution

There are only 2 of us living in our apartment, yet somehow, the sink is always full of dirty cups. For whatever reason, husband and I just get out a new cup every time we get a drink. Sometimes we try to strategically place our cups so that we'll remember which one is ours, to be able to just use it again, but I always forget, or get mixed up, and then just give up and get out another cup. Enough is enough.

Enter: crafty solution

One particularly crafty evening, while husband was doing lots and lots of boring homework, I decided to stop the cup madness. I got out some cute paper I had under my bed, cut it out into circles a little bigger than our cups, and wrote our names on them. Then I covered each paper circle, top and bottom, with clear packing tape.

Ta da! No more cup confusion. This crafty solution has been awesome. We've been using it now for a few weeks, and the cup pile-up has ended. Someday I might upgrade our little paper/plastic coasters, but for now, it was a quick and happy solution.
