Okay. . . so that gum spot on Caleb's quilt. It's not really gone. I found it again when I made his bed. So gum is still a problem. However, I'm going to give Elmer's Sticky Out another try, because I don't know what else to try. So hopefully, if I keep washing it with Sticky Out, it will eventually disappear.
But don't despair. I've solved two other problems to make life easier for you. First, if you have a sick, sniffly baby at home that can't keep a pacifier (or a thumb or a bottle) in their mouth because they would suffocate if they did because their nose is so stuffy, then this solution is for you. It comes from my sister Melanie, who got it from my mother, who got it from I don't know where but who cares because it really works. Rub Vick's VapoRub on their feet and put some socks on. That's it. The other night Caleb was all stuffy and he couldn't suck his thumb and he was miserable and so was I because I wanted to be sleeping so I tried it and within minutes he was sucking his thumb again without having to come up for air and shortly after he was sleeping. Now if that's not a great thing I don't know what is. Happy breathing easy!
And then there's the age old dilemna, what's for dinner? Here's the best recipe for Roast Chicken. . . ever! Sometimes when I need Caleb to go to sleep quick I force him to lay down with me and watch Food Network. Work's like a charm everytime. Anyway, last week we watched Ina Garten tell a Chicken Story and her Lemon and Garlic Roast Chicken looked really easy to make and really yummy. So Sunday we gave it a go and holy crow! It was easy and it was yummy. And I can hardly wait to use the remains to make some of her Chicken Stock for later. The only catch is Food Network is only going to post these particular recipes til February 26th. So if you only want the best Roast Chicken dinner ever, you'd better hurry on over to Food Network and print yourselves a copy of these recipes, quick! And don't forget, chicken soup is the best remedy for the common cold. . . that and Vick's VapoRub on your feet.
