The Crayon in the Dryer

I think every mom at one point or another gets a crayon in the laundry and then ends up with melted crayon on everything! My sister just posted a way to get that crayon out of the clothes and I thought I would post the link HERE. Hope this helps!

How to Get Crayon Off the Wall

I have to thank my friend Tryna for this one. I know a lot of people use Magic Erasers to get crayon off the wall but they can hurt your paint. I found this out when I was using it on my daughters wall and when I ran my hand over the spot I had cleaned I had pink paint on my hand! Same thing happened when I used it on the green wall in our basement. My friend mentioned using WD40 on the wall to get crayon off. I tried it and it works great and doesn't hurt the paint! The only draw back I found was the smell which was gone after a while. I just sprayed some on a rag and wiped the wall off. It only works on crayon though. If you are a mother I know you will have a chance to try this out very soon. What is up with kids and drawing on the wall?!

How to get the smell of puke out of your carpet

I am a little bit late on blogging this week because Hazel has been sick. There is nothing I hate more than sick kids (ok I might hate myself being sick a little more). I would like to know why kids feel the need to wander around when they feel like they are going to throw up. Well that is what Hazel did and she got the carpet in her room pretty good. The whole upstairs smelled like it and I tried everything to get it out, I scrubbed it, I opened the window, I used Fabreeze, I used my steam cleaner and it still totally reeked like barf! I was complaining to my sister about it and she said she had that problem with her couch from her son being sick and she used baking soda on it. She said to put baking soda on it and leave it for a couple hours then vacuum it up. I tried it and it worked. The room doesn't smell completely barf free but it is a TON better. The smell could just be in my head now or there might be another spot I haven't found yet, like I said she likes to wander. Thank you Carlye!
I would also like to add if your kids are sick please please please keep them home. I am so tired of seeing kids obviously sick (I mean green stuff running out of their nose or a totally hacking cough) at school or church or other places. They will be more comfortable at home and you won't be spreading it. Thanks :)
