The Kitchen Sink

Tips in the kitchen

I want to mention a few tips for the clean up crew! HAHA You know who I'm talking about!

Yep, you and me

So like my Lysol tip (keep the old bottle and half the new one and fill both with water) just in case you did not see it, you get two for one and yes it still cleans well

Here are a few more:

Put a 1/4 cup of 20 mule team powder in bottom of dishwasher in addition to dishwasher soap

Run the hot water faucet til hot, so the dishwasher starts on hot right away

Put your sink sponges in the top rack of dishwasher for extra life

Between kitchen trash can cleaning, spray a little smell good in the bottom before the new trash bag is put in

Save a small soap pump dispenser and put dawn or your favorite hand cleaner in it for beside the sink

Dollar store has sink wire drain catchers, very nice to use,when needed put them in lower rack of dishwasher

Spray Pam on your pizza pan, easy clean up

Cast iron skillets, this is my method, cold rub with a paper towel Crisco on all of inside of skillet

put in oven at 350 for 1/2 hour to an hour, turn oven off til cool, wipe excess off with paper towel and you are ready to cook without food sticking

NOTE: you can do this on top of stove just of course watch the kiddos

Remember to clean vent cover at the bottom of  refrigerator, but do not stop there, while the cover is off get your vacuum out and use the long tube attachment to suck up dust past the cover, there is more under there than you would think, I think twice a year is good

Remember baby locks for cabinets

I feel pretty smart about this one, lol. I bought a set of miscellaneous baby locks from Walmart. So I was putting them everywhere and it came with a toilet lid lock. This was flat and fat and self sticking and clasped like a seat belt.  I bake a lot and was so worried about my youngest to the point I didn't want to cook.

Yep that's right I put one side on the side of my brand new stove and the other side on the oven door!

And yes I would do it again! It didn't hurt a thing!

Oh what a relief it was!!!

I also used one of these locks on a single door refrigerator (for the little ones) that we use by the back door for drinks in the summer

So if you upgrade your refrigerator try and find a convenient place by the (in and out door) for the summer traffic. This really is worth the extra electric. Less wear and tear on your home plus your main refrigerator food does not take a toll on the heat of open and close. The kids and hubbys also appreciate the luxury of not upsetting us! 

I hope some of these tips make it to your kitchen

See you soon

Enjoy

Diarrhea

Loose Stool?

If your child has loose stool, in our case the result of surgeries on intestines or colon,

There is a product called FIBER powder, you can mix it into juice or food and it will help firm up the 

bowels.The directions on the fiber are from 6 years and up. It is very safe and effective. now we still do not 

have a normal firm stool but we are getting there.

this powder runs around $12.00 to $15.00 dollars and it is a large container of 16 oz. This also is sold at Walmart.

Always check with your Doctor first.

Cure for Diaper Rash

The cure for EXTREME diaper rash

Parents, Care Takers and Children hurt no more!

The paste above was our cure and a few careful steps. This problem seems to be very widespread. I actually take Nolan back to the Doctor that preformed the surgery on his rectum.

There are at least two Doctors that preform this surgery that I am aware of there and I will tell them about my discovery, of no oil glands as a result of the cutting and repair on the rectum!

This is so other Children and Parents suffer no longer. I think that Doctors just see the big picture in these situations so if we can help an inform each other even a Doctor we are serving mankind as we should! I know our Doctor will be receptive of this knowledge because he ran numerous tests on Nolan for this problem. Tests were; re-flux, lactose, antibiotics, I cant even remember how many and they went on for years! He and I communicate very well and he has been with Nolan from birth and preformed most of his surgeries.

How to use:this method is utmost important or it will not work!
Use the smoothest wipes or wash rags to clean bottom, gently, do not rub. Completely dry bottom!!! this will not work if bottom is not dry! I pat dry then fan with the new diaper! then use a generous amount of paste on bottom. In a week or two the problem is no more!!! 
Note: some wipes seem like they have fibers in them and a lot of these are name brands, diapers as well! We like the dollars store brand.
Good luck and I hope I have helped.
These creams are at Walmart by the pharmacy and cost $10.00 to $15.00 dollars.
One is generic and the other one is not, but they are the same cream, we use generic.

Diaper Rash ?

 ECZEMA

DIAPER RASH

Does your child have severe diaper rash to the point of not wanting to sit down?

Did you know it could be eczema?  Yes that's right, simple to treat but hard to diagnose. So I'm here to
 help,
  my child has eczema! This causes raw skin, blisters, and so much pain for the children that they cringe and

cry and don't want to sit down and do not like to be touched to be cleaned! Nolan had a Paraprofessional at
school and she changed him and told me her daughter had had sores and rawness in the diaper area and

finally a doctor told her it was eczema. It took me a few months to get that it could be Nolan's problem. So I
took him to his Pediatrician  and said is this eczema? He said yes. That simple, years of horrible rawness and
sores. Being all this said the paraprofessionals daughter was "typical", her Mother had eczema and hence she
had it in the worst place. So I have decided that Nolan has it because of his rectum being cut and therefore

there are no oil glands to moisturize the skin when he expels the stool, therefore it is so strong it just burns the
skin, as it would any of us! 

Look at my cure for Eczema- Extreme Diaper Rash!
