Free Kids 'N' Pets Stain Remover

Wow, this is a great offer! When we were house training our dog, we found that this was the ONLY product that really got out those messy "accidents". It took care of both the stain and the odor, which we found many other products just covered up. I don't know how long this offer will last, but right now if you become a fan of Kids 'N' Pets on Facebook, you can download a printable rebate form. Buy the full-size product you'd like to try, and then mail in the rebate to get your refund! Honestly, I would buy this product even without the rebate, but this just makes it even better :)

It's been a rough week!

I apologize for the lack of posts this past week. We had difficulties with nap time Thursday and Friday, family was visiting on Saturday, and my husband and I were both quite sick on Sunday. While I went to work Monday and Tuesday mornings, I spent the afternoons resting during my daughter's naps because I still was not feeling 100%. It seems the bug has finally run its course in our household (fingers crossed!), so I am up and running again :)

Tweet for the Parenthood Project

If you have a Twitter account, tweet about what parenthood means to you and include hashtag #parenthoodis. For every #parenthoodis tweet (one per user), NBC will donate $20 to the Boys and Girls Club of America. I questioned the legitimacy of this, so I checked out The Parenthood Project website. Pretty cool!

Sometimes, simplicity is the best solution!

Diaper rash is evil. This fact is known by mothers the world over, and many products and creams have been designed to fight this nemesis. Recently, I was getting very frustrated after trying four separate products with no success. My poor little girl's booty just would not clear up. My mother-in-law had suggested vaseline in the past, but even that wasn't quite enough. I googled the heck out of "diaper rash" and finally found the suggestion to sprinkle a little baby powder over the vaseline. We did this at every single diaper change, and poof! the rash is now gone. If you are looking for simple ways to cut down on expenses, give this solution a try - it's definitely cheaper than a lot of the pricey diaper creams out there!
