Since my infant son is still too young to help his big sis “make” cards for various occasions, I try to include him in the process anyhow. 🙂

My daughter spent the day with my parents yesterday, and came home with some of the chocolate chip cookie they made. Apparently, she’s a (chocolate) chip off the ol’ block!
Happy Wednesday, y’all!

Mothers of baby boys everywhere instantly know what this post is about: our little boys have a knack for filling up their diaper at night, well above capacity!
I tried several of those options for nighttime diaper leaks when my little boy started leaking through at night — him wetting through his jammies each night was just getting to be way too much! Since I was more than well-stocked with diapers of various brands (y’all already know how I find cheap diapers!), I tried several brands, both in his current size and a size up.I even tried the maxi pad, which actually resulted in even wetter jammies in the morning!
But that lead me to believe that there had to be an insert of some sort I could put in his diaper to help absorb all that extra liquid. I headed over to Babies R Us, and did a little on-site research. I immediately saw two options: a pack of about 30 liners that looked akin to maxi pads for about $4, or a pack of 105 gDiapers gCloth liners for about $8. Being frugal me, I went with the one with the best unit price: the gDiapers liners.
This weekend as I watched my son start rocking back and forth, with his arms and legs pushed up in crawling stance, I can’t help but recall when I was about seven or eight. My mom would playfully push on the top of my head and remark, “stop growing up so fast!”
I now know what you mean, Mom. I know what you mean.

Every time I changed the head on my electric toothbrush, I spent hours devising the perfect method of cleaning the (absurdly nasty!) gunk from the inside. The dilemma I faced was finding a cleaner that was safe to use on an item I put in my mouth…
Then it finally dawned on me: vinegar! 
First, I let it dry out overnight with the head off. Once dry, I knocked as much funk out as I could, then let it soak in a glass of vinegar for about 15 minutes. Next, I used one of my “for cleaning only” manual toothbrushes, and cleaned most I the gunk out.
However, there was still some gunk I couldn’t quite reach just inside the neck. So I thought back to 2nd grade science… I put the toothbrush back in the glass of vinegar, then added about a tsp of baking soda.
After marveling over the bubbles (hee hee! it never gets old!), I was then able to loosen the remaining gunk, and -voila!- my toothbrush was good as new again.
What uses have YOU discovered for vinegar?
Keep on saving! :o)
