Some Neat Ideas

I am reading a book right now called "Every Day Deserves A Chance" by Max Lucado. If you aren't familiar with his writing, you should get a book of his from the library. Last night Ben was priming our deck in the backyard and I decided to take my book out there and read. I read this story last night and thought it was very clever.

"When my daughters were single-digit ages-- two, five, and seven-- I wowed them with a miracle. I told them the story of Moses and the manna and invited them to follow me on a wilderness trek through the house. 'Who knows,' I suggested, 'manna may fall from the sky again.' We dressed in sheets and sandals and did our best Bedouin hike through the bedrooms. The girls, on my instruction, complained to me, Moses, of hunger and demanded I take them back to Egypt, or at least to the kitchen. When we entered the den, I urged them to play up their parts: groan, moan, and beg for food.
'Look up,' I urged. 'Manna might fall at any minute.'
Two-year-old Sara obliged with no questions, but Jenna and Andrea had their doubts. How can manna fall from a ceiling?
Just like the Hebrews. 'How can God feed us in the wilderness?'
Just like you? You look at tomorrow's demands, next week's bills, next month's silent calendar. Your future looks as barren as the Sinai Desert. 'How can I face my future?' God tells you what I told my daughters: 'Look up.'
When my daughters did, manna fell! Well, not manna, but vanilla wafers dropped from the ceiling and landed on the carpet. Sara squealed with delight and started munching. Jenna and Andrea were old enough to request an explanation.
My answer was simple. I knew the itinerary. I knew we would enter this room. Vanilla wafers fit safely on the topside of the ceiling-fan blades. I had placed them there in advance. When they groaned and moaned, I turned on the switch."

Clever huh? I thought so...

Also, there are many recipes out there for homemade baby wipes. Here's the one I have decided to try:

• 2 TBSP baby wash
  
• 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  
• 2 Cups water

  Mix well in a spray bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box. (I'm using a tupperware container and I cut Bounty brand paper towels into fourths and put in there)
