I mowed the lawn last week and of course I wore my once white tennis shoes. I had totally forgotten to wear my grunge shoes for the lawn mowing so now I have green soled shoes! Bubs had a Dr.’s appt. and so I thought his shoes needed a little spiffing and yes I am a bit anal about sending a clean kid to the Dr.! So I got my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser from the box and thought I would at least try it on his shoes. These things are amazing if you haven’t given them a try! It took all the dirt off his sneakers and all the grass stains off of mine! Wooohooo!
Also my husband accidentally hit a car in our driveway and it was a rental…and it left some of our paint on the other car and the eraser took that off too!
I use it all over the house too! It has taken smudges and dirt off the fridge handles..you name it. I wonder what the stuff is made of. For some reason when the boys play in our tub the tub gets color marks from the toys and the eraser gets those off. I must take stock in these things LOL!
Anyway I thought I would share with you..leave a comment if you have any other uses for these things!
Bumps and Bruises

Having toddlers means there are going to be lots of bumps and bruises. Just last week Bubs managed to bump his head on the table and then on the tile edge in our bathroom. Being their mom, I automatically freaked out when it happened…I hate seeing my babies get hurt. The scary thing about it was how huge these bumps got! They grow right before your eyes to like the size of golf balls and the first thing I want to do is run out the door with them because it looks so awful! I have also found that putting ice on their heads is like you are trying to kill them LOL! They absolutely freak out and scream harder than when they got the actual bump. I have found and awesome product that helps with those big bumps on the head or anywhere else that my sister-in-law gave me. It is a product called Arnica Cream! If you put this stuff on right away and for like once a day for two additional days the bump and bruise goes away much quicker! I swear by the stuff!
