    Momgenuity: 7 Emergency Fixes Only a Mom Could Think Of

    I was driving to school the other day when I noticed my side mirror wasn't positioned so I could see out of it. I pressed the button to maneuver the mirror to a better position when the mirror fell off. The good news is that I'm amazingly resourceful. I parked my car, reached over to my broken glove compartment which is held closed by duct tape, peeled off a strip, and affixed it to my mirror. This got me thinking of all the resourceful things we moms do. I recalled some of my more creative fixes, and I asked other moms what innovative ideas they'd employed in a pinch. Her are 7 of my favorite "mom fixes!" - By Dawn Damalas Meehan

      The Plastic Bag Fix
      I was wearing dress shoes and got caught in a snow storm. I didn't want to ruin my shoes by trudging through the snow. I didn't think staying in the car until spring melted all the snow, or taking the shoes off and walking barefoot were good ideas. I rummaged in my car and found a couple plastic bags. I put the bags around my feet when I had to step out of the car.
