The kitchen might be the room if your home that’s full of the MOST dangerous stuff for a baby.
We’re talking:
And the list goes on!
For that reason, the kitchen should be high on your list when it comes to baby proofing.
But how do you baby proof the oven drawer? (Also known as the stove drawer or broiler drawer, it’s the little metal compartment that slides out from the bottom of your oven.)

No matter how well you organize it, or how much you throw or give away, there always seems to be more and more coming home from preschool!
In our home, at least, it sometimes feels like the art is taking over the entire house.
Luckily, there are services like Plum Print.
