A few cool things, I didn't know before.




So last Saturday my Stk had a women's conference. It was a long one 9-1, but I mustered the energy to go because I knew I wouldn't be sorry and I wasn't. It was really fun. Don Aslett (aka the cleaning Guru) was there and Sister Phillips accompanied him. She is a organizational expert who also raised 8 kids. They have done segments together at BYU education week and seminars around the country. Then we could choose out of 6 other classes to attend. I went to the gardening one first and then the parenting one. They were both really great and helped me a ton!! Here are some cool products I learned about on Sat.
So this post is jumbled like most of my others but I really like this stuff! The bathroom cleaner is not harmful to kids if they get it on them or their clothes (they probably shouldn't drink it) and the scrubbie doo microfiber mop is awesome. And the best part is that the scrubber comes off and washes in the washer. No replacing heads. Okay this sounds so dumb that I am posting about cleaners, but hey anything that is less expensive and better to use and helps get things done faster is worthy of a blog in my book.
The pic of the toothbrush is Sister Phillips daughter in laws design. She is a dental hygienist (sp?) and decided to design a toothbrush that is soft all over to help prevent mouth injuries in toddlers. I was the lucky recipient of a free one so here is my two cents to help promote. It really is cool.
The other classes were great too, I'll post later when I get my garden in and if the parenting techniques work! Later.

Ash, I am so bummed I missed it, but I think a funeral is a valid excuse, right???
I REALLY want to come with you next time you go to that cleaning store and get some of that cool stuff. Especially the mopping thing, I do the hands and knees routine, which I don't mind because it's effective, but I really wish I had a decent mop just for the every day mopping when i don't have the time to clear everything out of my kitchen and look at an ocean of linoleum for a good hour :)
