Parenting Success.....


So last night after showers and getting pajamas on I needed a little quiet time. I was sitting in my rocking chair in my room enjoying the silence for a brief moment. The kids had all gone downstairs and I was just zoning out for a quick minute when I heard the oh so familiar "MOM!" So I responded back my usual "I'll be right there!" Figuring I was going to come into yet another disaster area I was pleasantly surprised to see this




and this.....
and this....
oh and this....
and although Dalton wasn't reading (he had enough of that with his homework) he was quietly playing on the couch with his transformers.

Kinda made my day! I guess I am not doing such a bad job after all.

Do you think you are doing the best you can for your kids? Join my discussion here in my BlogFrog forum.

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.

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 t...

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 li...
