* Changing crib sheets. Why in the world do they make them where you have to take the entire bumper off to get to the sheet?!? Errrrg!
* Attaching the bumper to the crib…mine must be el cheapo because it never lines up just right and always looks sloppy. Errrrg!
* Picking up a baby that has brown legs and arms from dragging themselves across my dirty tile. Errrg!
* Cleaning the tile on my hands and knees to make sure it is extra clean for dragging baby parts. Errrrg!
* Loud noises outside during naptime. Lawnmowers I will kill you! Loud mufflers I will kill you! Honking horns I will kill you!
* Babies that do not take enough naps and are Crabby McCrabbalots!
* Food stains that will NOT come out of baby clothes. I’ve tried Oxy Clean and soaking…any suggestions?

Aw, I like your likes, too.
We’ve been using Zout stain remover and it works for most things, though not peaches.
I wish peaches didn’t stain so much. At least the season’s over.
On the crib sheet front, we don’t have bumpers, but we use these sheets:

and they are great because you don’t have to change the whole thing, just unzip
and zip back in the top. E. even did it once in the dark holding a baby after a
bad middle of the night episode. They aren’t cheap, but they’re worth the less
fuss for us!

Get new ones, you’ll spend the same amount in cleaning supplies!! I make those “house / play / night” clothes.

Love the post…got me thinking about things I like and dislike! So agree with changing the crib sheet…did it this morning…what a pain in the a**!! Love the new layout!

Love the new layout on your site…. Wow Jeff must really love you to
include all 3 dungeons and dragons…
Those are some CUTE babies…
Things I like, not changing crib sheets (yes I remember), the day my
cleaning lady comes clean feet (with the dog & your dad it doesn’t last
to long)…
I HATE LATE SUMMER COLDS, and after 1 year of Aunt Flo, she comes to visit
with a vengance………

Oh, gosh, they are so cute. I really dig the redesign! Lovely.
I’ve never changed a crib sheet! Yup, it’s true. I decided Day One, before they
even arrived, that it was too hard. That’s DH’s job. His list is getting longer
and longer. : )
My floors are disgusting, too. Just wait until they are walking and you see their
socks! Bleh.

Same with my floor. As for the stains I have found Shot Advanced for set in stains to work . It gets most things out, however it I have let the laundry sit and fester for too long sometimes whatever it was on their clothes won’t come out. I hate that. I’ve taken to doing their laundry several times a week sometimes a day.

I just LOVE that little nose Shenzie!!! What is she doing there? Heaten is just the next top model… The new layout is very cute!…Your so good Jeff, now what do you charge per hour?(hee hee) I’m so inspired but for now I’ll stick to paper and paste. I saw on the news Better Homes and Gardens came out with a book on getting all kinds of Stains out, I’ll have to get back to you on that one (maybe for their B days LOL). Love you Barr Family

I am guessing you know about M3 and her blog ‘Do They Have Salsa in China’, if not you will love it. Anyway, she had a blog recently about laying stained clothes in the sun all day. It actually did remove stains from a tiny white shirt.
