Surviving a Bowl Game with Children


Provide lots of extra activities to keep them occupied and their minds off Christmas!

Be sure to travel to a warmer climate with NO SNOW so as to distract the children from knowing what time of year and season it is.




Be sure to be dressed in appropriate team colors and cheering for the winning team is certainly a bonus.  It is also a good idea to bring a father-in-law to assist with bathroom trips during the game!

Yay! How fun. We did SeaWorld and other parts of San Diego this summer and it was a blast. I love to see your kids all in their gear supporting their dad. So sweet.

I HAVE thought about doing a community but am unsure I have the extra time to give it. I already feel like I spend way too much time on the computer with blogging and face book. :( I will have to chat with you about it and see how you manage it all. :)

How fun. The close ups of the kids are darling. I'd say the Mountain West is doing themselves proud in their bowl games. I hope TCU continues the trend. BCS...LOOK OUT!

Wondering how it was flying with all them? I hate to fly and panic when I am with my 2 kids!

Warm weather is a definitely plus during the cold winter. Last year we did a trip to Florida for the new year and it was refreshing!!

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 the bottle and it is no longe

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 little off on the ends.  Lesson learned
