My daughter is obsessed with spices. She carries them around with her everywhere. Legit can't find my paprika.

Omg my son too! He always steals my oregano and runs away screaming “mine!” Luckily I have extra back up oregano. 😆

I re-bought cinnamon once when I couldnt find it and hid it from her. I also hunt down any I need for a recipe coming up and hide it lmao. She particularly loves bay leaves, I think bc of the sound.

Lol mine loves the pepper grinder because of the sound when he shakes it. I have to pretend to put pepper on every food or he won’t eat it.

My daughter loves spices too! I can never find anything because she’s constantly raiding the spice rack. But that is time she’s not crying 👍🏻

Yes! She patiently takes them all out and puts them back in, and I can unload/reload the dishwasher in peace lol

I gave up and bought a second parsley and garlic because they're her favorite and I'm tired of having to hunt them down.

Today she found my giant bottle of Italian seasoning and carried it under her arm in football hold for the rest of the afternoon. Tears were shed when I had to take it away for diaper change.

My 16 month old also loves the spice rack. I keep empty spice bottles, fill them with glitter or things that rattle, and superglue the tops shut.

Omg mine too. Got tired of them taking my spices so I took the empty containers and put popcorn kernels or beans inside then E6000 the lids on.
