A Boy And His Vacuum

Job is infatuated with vacuum cleaners , so much that it's all he wants to do , he would be happy if I would vacuum all day :) he treats them like they are pets , one night he cried to take our little dirt devil to bed , so OK I gave in and we slept with a vacuum cleaner !!! and the next morning when he got up and pretending to vacuum the mattress the dirt started to come out and we really did have to vacuum it , so for Christmas we thought a little Henry would maybe help but even though he liked it a lot he still loves real ones , even when we go to visit mamaw and papaw he knows where they keep their vacuum and he wants it out as soon as we get there , maybe this means he is going to be a hard worker because all he wants to do is clean :) 

LOVE SEEING THIS SMILE EVERYDAY , SUCH A BLESSING !

 

Unfeigned Faith

Just wanted to share this great sermon that I listened to today .

Nellie's Laundry Soda

When I first tried cloth diapering it worked well for a while and then I quit for 2 reasons , the first reason was the smell would not come out of the diapers after I washed them and the second was I could smell the diapers in the house before I could wash them even though I was trying to do a load everyday of course this is mainly just a problem in the summer time when the weather is hot , but then after reading some reviews on amazon ( One of my favorite places to shop ) I tried Nellie's all natural laundry soda - 

 All I can say is this stuff works , when the diapers come out of the wash they actually smell like they have been washed , if I could afford it I would use this on all our clothes but I am only going to use it on diapers , we use homemade laundry detergent for our clothes .The second problem was solved by using Bac-out , even if you go a day without washing you won't smell the diapers if you use this stuff -

the only thing is it can be really expensive which is why I am still trying to find an alternative , I am also using liners this time around , wish I would of known about these the first time around but these things are great -

I no longer have to deal with scrubbing dirty diapers , I was really surprised at how long these last and how well they work , you don't have to flush them either I just throw it in a plastic bag and throw it away , most of the time you will get a trace of poo on the diaper and if I don't have a load of diapers ready to wash at the time I just run it through a gentle rinse cycle and then toss it in the basket til the next load , this is easier for me than trying to spray them , even though spraying them is cheaper , its just whichever you prefer , I have been back to cloth diapering now for almost 2 months and I like it so much better .
