Baby Wipes Wha?

Some of you may notice that a post I wrote yesterday afternoon about karma and everything happening for a reason is gone. Silly me trying to be in a happy place. It lasted about 3 hours. Today is a different kind of day, the statement 'I'm having a bad day' would be considered a major understatement. Crap on karma.

Ok, but back to what I had planned to post today, baby wipe wonders! I've been buying baby wipes at Sam's Club for 6 1/2 years now. It's about 600 wipes in a case x 12months x 6.5 years = approximately 47,000 wipes I have used in this house to date! During the years there would be mishaps here and there, and when looking for the closest thing to help, baby wipes would be right in my reach. And wouldn't you know it, it helped! So I want to share with you my favorite things to use baby wipes for(of course other than the obvious!). If you have other great uses please share.

Wipe up a quick spill of paint - we have hardwood floors, perfect!

Clean spot off your clothes - just did this yesterday as my son was walking out the door to school

Take off your makeup - soft, gentle, allergen free

Dustbunnies be gone - hey, be wild and put one on the bottom of your swiffer!

Crayons on the wall - I like magic eraser for this too, but when you run out...

Clean dashboard of your car - get a chore done while waiting at the bus stop!

Deodorant on your shirt? Poof. Gone. Magic.

Gets ink off rubber stamps - us crafters are always looking for good solutions for that!

I have tons more but these are my most often uses. And don't even get me started on uses for the wipes  containers....

    Awesome stuff, I'm awful about grabbing things other than towels for cleaning. I usually end up using wipes. I've got a great recipe for homemade wipes though, saves us a ton of money. I wrote this how-to article on how to make em. Feel free to share it on your blog

Well, I never thought I'd be saying this, but my little Christmas baby has rubbed off on me over the last few years. I find myself wanting to put out my decorations, hit play on my Elvis CD, and watch Rudolph. But strangely, I am getting resistance on the home front. What gives?? I know it's early, I'm well aware of the Halloween candy still sitting on the table. But with the weather changing(only slightly lol), I'm in holiday mode.  Perhaps it's because I don't have much to do during the day. Perhaps it's because I love the nights of sitting with hot chocolate and staring at the lights. But I'm pretty sure it's because of the family that I am blessed to have, with now four amazing children that I can't wait to spend the holidays with! It could be worse. I could still be living in the days of Alex listening to Christmas music year round and wanting the tree up in July :)

He's not the problem, their list is.

Last week we went to the boys' annual checkup at the pediatrician. You know the appointment, you wait for what feels like an eternity, just to get into the tiny room, be poked at for a minute, then released to pay? Ya. But when I checked out I was given a new kind of 'receipt'. On each was the child's stats from the current visit, along with any other pertinent health happenings from birth to now. And I was faced with this on the top of Alex's paper: PROBLEM LIST. That was the first thing I noticed. Those ding dongs that just want money, see my son as having problems. Nice. But after I got past that title, the list below it hit me. Hard.  Our Autism journey has been nothing short of a miracle as most of you know. I wish I had documented more of our last 7 years. But now is so different than then. Alex is mainstreamed. He doesn't shut up. He's funny as hell. Yes, he struggles with his words sometimes, his anger sometimes, definitely with schoolwo

My dad has a habit of buying a new car every year(used to be every six months!) and I think I got that habit. I've tried to stretch it to every 2-3 years at this point in life, but I'm thinking if I get back into a comfy place in life money-wise, I'll be right back to it. Here's a look back at some of my cars.... My first car was a 1979 VW Rabbit in poo brown. My dad and I sanded it down and took it for a $99 Maaco paint job. I chose turquoise. Horrid. We called it the blue dot special after that. I loved that car. My next baby was a 1987 Mercury Lynx. I liked this car, had much more room than the VW. I had an accident on the way to school one morning(rear ended my friend's mom!) and my punishment was to pay off the damage repair. I came home from work one day and the car was gone, dad sold it. Apparently when you go to college you don't need a car. :/ My 1993 Geo Tracker, by far my favorite to that point, and my friends will all tell you it was fun
