Too often, I’m sure, especially if you have kids! One night, while they were all out, and I spent 15 minutes trying to find the 3 remotes required to turn on the tv, sound bar, and fire stick…I’d had enough! It was time to stop losing remote controls! I had to make the remotes more visible. I mean seriously, who decided they should be black, the same color as the crevices in the sofa and the abyss of the unknown? I’ll tell you who…NOT a MOM! The first thing I found was rainbow duct tape. I’m sure it was once used for duct tape wallets and who knows what else, but there was enough there to start covering remotes. It’s a little messy, and cheap looking, but I can see them!!! TV remote and sound car remote taken care of. I was pretty proud of myself, even if it looks a little dumb. I looked at the [Alexa Fire Stick ](http://amzn.to/2giawVl)remote and realized it might be tricky with the way the whole back slid off for the battery. That’s when I noticed it was’t working right, so I went on Amazon to look for a new remote. It turned out it magically started working again, but what I found blew my mind: there are [silicone skins](http://amzn.to/2vjCmXC) for many remote controls!!! How have I never known this?? Why would anyone keep this a secret??? [I found a brilliant one for the Alexa remote: it’s green and it GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!](http://amzn.to/2vjCmXC) I mean sure it might never see enough light to glow when I need it to glow, but it’s pretty fun don’t you think? Plus, the grip and texture really make it nicer to hold.   I’m happy to say I haven’t lost my remotes in weeks now, and it’s AMAZING. Sometimes it’s the little things, right moms? ### *Related* [So I looked in the couch cushions for the tv remote and found](https://www.amyonfyre.com/so-i-looked-in-the-couch-cushions-for-the-tv-remote-and-found)January 30, 2009With 1 comment [5 Tips for Self Care](https://www.amyonfyre.com/5-tips-self-care)March 31, 2017In "Life After Separation/Divorce" [How to Cure Bacterial Vaginosis Naturally](https://www.amyonfyre.com/2017/01/23/5009/bacterial-vaginosis)January 25, 2017In "Wellness" ### Comments 1 comments 29 SHARES 1.5k VIEWS This number shows the total pageviews since publishing of the article [Share](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amyonfyre.com%2F2017%2F08%2F28%2F6334%2Fstop-losing-remote-controls%3Futm_source%3Dsharebuttons%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook%26utm_campaign%3Dmashshare) [Pinterest](https://blog.amyonfyre.com/2017/08/28/6334/stop-losing-remote-controls?hs_amp=true#) [Tweet](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Stop%20Losing%20Your%20Remote%20Controls&url=https://www.amyonfyre.com/2017/08/28/6334/stop-losing-remote-controls) Share it!
