Now, I have a box of this. I cut it into 12x12 sheets (it's 72 ft long, 12 '' wide). Which gives me 72 sheets at 12 inces a piece...right?? 12.99/72 = 0.18 each sheet.

Plan...hand one to each kid at the moment i want to make a phone call. Let them pop away while i talk.

One box of bubblewrap 12.99
one sheet of bubblewrap per kid .18 cents
one uninterrupted phone call with three kids in the house...priceless.

Spoken like a true mom!!!
I remember those days....a kid who had been playing fine in her room would sense I was on the phone and come out of the woodwork & suddenly have something terribly important to tell me.....ah, I remember it well.

What an inspired idea! I'd definitely be on board but...Imogen is just too young for bubble wrap yet. But hey, two out of three kids being quiet at once isn't bad, right?!

You're missing a giant marketing op here!!! Sell these as Mom's Sanity Savers! Do I get half of the profits?

[Katybird]

I think you have hit upon a great idea! You are right now that is a priceless bargain!

Brilliant! I have buckets of stuff that I only pull down when I'm going to be on the phone for a few minutes. I'll add bubble wrap, too.

It's ssoooooo true that they can sense when you are on an important phone call. All hell breaks loose.
