Thank You Mr. Clean!

I have been trying to get our house ready for the market so I thought it a good idea to get the crayon and pen marks off the walls. Seriously, why do kids have to draw on the walls?!? I got out the trusty Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and was amazed as usual at it's thoroughness! I have to admit it did tend to take a little paint off the walls with it, but I didn't think it was that noticeable.

I hate to think what the eraser is made out of, though. Lately I have been a little bit health conscious and have been making my own window cleaner and wall cleaner. I also talked Matt into buying natural toothpaste and shampoo and soap because, well, do you know how bad those things are for you? I hadn't realized it before until the dentist told me all my kids had canker sores in their mouths and he thinks a natural toothpaste would help without all the sodium lauryl sulfate. Well, that stuff is in shampoo and body wash, etc and it is caustic. I guess not too badly since the FDA approves it, but I am beginning to believe the FDA aren't the good guys anymore.

Everyone here has a cold, even Jared. It makes packing up the clutter really difficult because I have to stop every 10 minutes or so and hold Jared so he's not screaming all day. He's usually so good so I know something isn't right with him when he cries this easily. I will be happy when he feels better again!
