Efficient Time Tracking: Norpro 4 Inch Wood Timer for Three-Minute Countdowns Review

Because all my boys like to clean up for 30 seconds, run out of the bathroom and announce the job is done! And I went through all sorts of timers! Spin, bounce, loud, quiet, solar, battery/plug-in. you have the picture Well, if you throw a boy in the bathroom with toothpaste and water, you'll burn some timers! Believe me! BUT the no-frills three-minute hourglass is almost perfect to…
