I have a running to-do list, and nothing feels better than spending just ten minutes knocking out five or six of those items - especially when they're little things that I've been putting off and they've been nagging me for a while.Caryn Caldwellhttp://www.caryncaldwell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-92141714463574208582011-03-27T21:33:47.352-07:002011-03-27T21:33:47.352-07:00I love the magic eraser.

She mostly only colors with washable markers, and for some reason has really taken the rule about what she is allowed to color on to heart.<br /><br />If only she'd take the rule about eating fresh fruit and vegetables to heart, too....Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-81263417611993387552011-03-25T17:27:36.064-07:002011-03-25T17:27:36.064-07:00I have never heard of Magic Eraser, but coincident...I have never heard of Magic Eraser, but coincidentally, DS just learned how to write on our newly painted white wall with crayon. I have to admit, I have a bad memory of being scolded quite harshly over writing on the wall once (bad childhood memory), so I turn the other way when he does it. I kind of like it and feel like it's within his right as a child. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bitch about plenty of things, just not writing on walls... He's so little and he's drawing such cute little pictures. <br /><br />However, I am pleased to now know about this Magic Eraser for when the time comes that I'm tired of the scribbles. <br /><br />Thanks!bluenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-66630432969518461492011-03-25T06:18:56.019-07:002011-03-25T06:18:56.019-07:00When we moved into our current house, the kitchen ...When we moved into our current house, the kitchen was dis-to-the-custing. It took 4 people 2 hours + 10 magic erasers to make it bearable. <br /><br />Oh, and my counter is pure while laminate. Stains like there's no tomorrow. I always hesitate to use the magic eraser (only maybe once a week), because I"m worried that this is where I put our food and I don't want it mixing with chemicals. But when I use it, I just wipe down the counter with water afterward and hope that it's good.<br /><br />insurance is always a pain :( it's almost as if their job is to find ways to avoid making payouts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717683959293876114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-21413572094868306592011-03-25T02:17:50.667-07:002011-03-25T02:17:50.667-07:00Hey, I filed my taxes yesterday and dusted.

I wonder if a magic eraser works to get crayon off a tub? How Tate has managed to get everlasting tub crayon marks I have no idea but comet can't even get them to come up. <br /><br />@Melba - I trust snopes. I send all my crazy email forwarding friends their link right back. It has cut down considerably on the amount of email forwards I get. <br /><br />RE: the emailing idiot adjuster. Good on you for keeping on them. And for doing it in writing. :) I don't know why but I have zsa zsa gabor in my head saying "email is forever, dahling".mom2boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784436196685595115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-26470790768892490222011-03-24T19:27:53.947-07:002011-03-24T19:27:53.947-07:00Word to the Magic Eraser!

Not quite. <br /><br />I'm a complete to-do list girl Every little thing makes it on my list because it is so satisfying to tick things off. I take more of a 15 minute approach - as in, how much can I do in 15 minutes. This works because if DD is down for a nap, sometimes she gives me those nasty 30 minute naps and I can get a whole lot done in 15 minutes when I set my mind to it and then have enough time for a shower, or a coffee and some blog reading. Also, when I get a long nap I don't feel bad about doing whatever the hell I feel like if I had a productive 15 minutes. <br /><br />Re: the insurance matter and the emailing - if I were your lawyer I would be very pleased with you. I email everything.

I've tried it a few times and so far so good. Might take a while for a whole wall drawing, but, another option.<br /><br />I have yet to try to wash off the red 'washable' marker drawing DS did on the dining room chair with a white seat, a year ago. I think it will take more than 2 minutes. That's my excuse for why I haven't done it yet. Yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.the millinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-91813800140931908382011-03-24T18:19:35.468-07:002011-03-24T18:19:35.468-07:00I hear ya about the magic eraser!

What kind of freakin miracle is that, hey?<br /><br />When I was 9 months pregnant with Rosie we had to sell a house that was riddled with scuffs all over the walls. Because I was so ridiculously pregnant I hired a cleaning service to clean the walls. They did a shit job and the scuffs remained. And then I discovered the magic eraser and I did the whole house in like an hour.<br /><br />Afterward, I heard that magic erasers contain all sorts of nasty chemicals like formaldehyde and that pregnant women shouldn't use them. Great. Snopes says they're ok but I don't know... there must be something freaky in there to make it work so well!Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248392923064542646noreply@blogger.com
