Mom Achievement Unlocked: got poop stains out of a white onesie first try

 


My son's first explosive poop (aka not able to be contained by a mere diaper) happened while he was wearing this white onesie. I must say, I'm counting it a win that his first explosive poop happened this late in the game. To be honest I've lived in low key fear of a messy diaper blow out for a long time.

I used my filled away Pinterest info to peel his onesie down instead of up over his head and then soaked it in some oxy clean for a few minutes before throwing it in the wash.

And voila! No stain! Yay!!

the long awaited nursery

Mom Achievement Unlocked: my child finally has his own room you guys, this is a feat, a FEAT.  i was looking through my calendar and every single weekend since june i've had "paint nursery" written in.   of course "paint nursery" sounds way more simple than what was actually required. NTH's room was my craft/junk/hide the mess because guests are coming/extra closet room.  there was a lot of stuff in there to lug out, sort out, donate, and find a new space for (still finding a space for stuff!) and then it had to be patched and sanded and wiped down and THEN we could paint.  well my friends, last week it happened.  HALLELUJAH.  i was getting really stressed about it. he's almost 5 months old, i felt like we both just must be bad people for not having it done already, but honestly we only have so much time and energy each day (also, if you speak enneagram hubby & i are both 9, so, like, heaven help us). indulge me, let me give you a tour, s...
