cleaning a mattress



i did something dumb when one of my kids was already toilet trained. i took the mattress protector off and when someone was overtired and didn't want to get up, they had a bit of an accident in the bed. it wasn't that bad, but my ocd self tried to dab away with water on the mattress to try and clean it up... and made matters worse. then, every time i change the sheets, it is there, taunting me. today, i decided it was time to do something about it. a few minutes of googling found me some suggestions, with one that included picture results that i was happy with, so i gave it a go. after a quick stop to coles to get peroxide, i made the very simple mixture (which you can find along with proof it works here), attempted to spray it on (was not happening, all my spray bottles weren't coming to the party) and ended up sponging it on with a washcloth. 



but, the results are in... and speak for themselves!! although there are a few spots that it didn't 100% remove (looks like i need to give it round two next time i am changing the sheets), i am so pleased with the results and wish to once again thank my dearest friend, google.

cupcakes :)

for cody's birthday last week - i made him a batch of colourful cupcakes from jen's fabulous recips - aptly called "best ever cupcakes"... they were freaking awesome - and now doug keeps begging me to make more. so i happily obliged - and dipped the icing on these ones in hundreds and thousands and shredded coconut. so so yummy. maybe having a baby has been good to me in more way than one. ;) i've become a kitchen whiz!

domestic goddess!


so for all you people who said i was undomesticated and couldn't cook - here is two kinds of proof that i can!! above - exhibit a: brownies for doug and cody's birthday dinner on tuesday night - even dusted and arranged for our guests delight

and below - exhibit b: potato baken (yes - not a mistake) potato bake with added bacon - was yummo. maybe i'll be a "real" housewife one of these days! :)
