Mom’s invention keeps pacifiers handy

September

0907-erica.jpgCortlandt Manor mom Erica Dubrawski is in Las Vegas this weekend — not for the sun and gambling, but to hawk her invention at the ABC Kids Expo. Like many other mom inventors, Erica was inspired by the hijinks of her own youngster — who woke up crying for a pacifier nearly every night. He didn’t rest until mom scrambled under the crib to find one. Erica decided to devise a way to keep spare binkies handy by attaching them to the crib. You can read more about Erica and her invention, called Pacifier Place, in this story. (That’s Erica in a photo by my colleague Angela Gaul.)

    Great idea! Has that “why didn’t I think of that?” factor.

    Clearly understanding the OPs content I like the above since it is accurate so it’s nice to see a web guy that is writing it for all to see to think about
