First Day of School

So being the crazed mother that I am I totally forgot the camera when I dropped Dalton off for the first day of Kindergarten.  The batteries were charged and I even charged a spare set but without the camera what is the point of charged batteries.  Anyway..  we picked him up and took a few pictures and Peyton had to have her back pack on too which I thought was so cute.

In the car on the ride home.  He had some nervousness on the way but that quickly resolved with a pep talk from mom.  He stood in line with all the other kids , and on his way into the classroom he turned and looked for Peyton and I and waved goodbye.  It was pretty cute.  I was a little teary but so proud that it went away quickly.

Wow...what a brave kid! The first day of school (good job Dalton). I love your blog Brandi. I'm glad to hear you did so well as well Brandi (that can be tough seeing your child leave for Big school). You'll have to give me some advise next year when Katie starts because I'm already nervous.

How to get Urine/Sweat stains out of your Mattress

If you have kids you have pee stains I know it.  If you don't lucky you or you are a liar and in denial.  I have pee stains on more than one mattress.  I also have sweat stains on pillows because well I sweat a.lot .  It's a gift I know. I digress. Anyway I have tried many different ways to get urine/pee out of mattresses and I have been very unsuccessful so I did a google search and what do you know?  Another mom had pee stains too.  So I borrowed her recipe and it totally worked so I am sharing it with you. All you need are these few house-hold ingredients and a spray bottle.  I bought a really expensive one (NOT) I used one I had for my kids hair.  It worked great. You will need: 3 Tablespoons Baking Soda 8 ounces Hydrogen peroxide 1 drop dish soap Mix together well and use right away. My mom discovered that if it is not mixed well the baking soda will clog the sprayer.  You also can't store this apparently it doesn't last in the bottle and it is no longe

Master Bedroom Makeover Board and Batten

 I highly recommend a few items although you don't HAVE to have them it just makes this project go so much faster.  I bought a pancake compressor with three nail guns included saved me on this project and a miter saw.  I bought both from Home Depot and they didn't pay me to say that it is just where I happen to shop.  I actually had this all measured out and went to Home Depot and they cut the mdf primed boards for me.  However I later purchased the miter saw and was then able to cut things right here at my house.  The nail gun I used is a 16 gauge gun that can shoot nails up to 3 inches.  I used a 2.5 inch nail to cover the thickness of the board and wall. Ok so I recommend deciding how you want your boards spaced first and measure and mark on the wall where you want them.  I tried to do every 16 inches because that is how far apart my studs were but then I realized my wall wasn't an even length and so I have some that look a little off on the ends.  Lesson learned
