Bubbles and Butter

I have a couple of new tricks for you....

If a child doesn't want to take a bath, get out the bubbles. Blow bubbles while the child's in the tub.  After the child is washed, let him/her blow them.

A friend turned me on to what I believe are some of the best bubbles out there...

Gymboree Oodles of Bubbles


The other tip is amazing.  A friend told me about it when I had my black eye, but by then I was too late.  I had to try it out to be sure it worked before I shared it with you.  Well, it didn't take long for me to have that chance.

The other day, one of my children bumped his head on the corner of the piano.  It lumped up immediately.  I followed this friend's tip, and it worked....As soon as you possibly can, put butter on it.  Yup.  That's right....butter.  Not margarine, but butter.  Rub some on the potential bruise and for some reason, it takes most if not all of it away.

It TOTALLY worked.  You'd never know the bump on the piano ever happened.
