Worst Blogger Ever!

If there were an award for worst blogger ever I think that I should be nominated. Well as it goes in the blogging world I suppose I could just nominate myself and if I was a really good blogger I could even make my own button but alas I am the worst blogger ever so I cannot make my own button. Just in case anyone still checks my blog I will post a little year end review (which will mainly include a review of what has been going on the past few months around here)

We went to a few football games....

We went to Las Vegas with children in the rain.... what were we thinking??

I went to Notre Dame it was beautiful and old and it rained there too!

We got three new cousins this year.....

I just realized why I quit blogging my computer is slow and I get so frustrated I just want to break things which I found counterproductive!

I digress......

We wrote letters to Santa

Some of us tried to learn how to drive.....

I will admit that 2010 was a great year. Jeff and I lost almost 100 pounds (combined). We are very blessed and count those blessings each and everyday. I know 2011 will bring challenges and smiles and I look forward to each and every one!

Happy New Year Everyone!

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 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...
