For our throw pillows (microfibre, polycotton, and some woven), I do them in the washing machine, no problem, two or three at a time fit in mine - regular top loading machine. When you put them in the dryer, throw in a towel or two to absorb the excess moisture.

Did you use the body butter at all BEFORE getting the stretch marks? I've been using it since day 1 of my pregnancy and haven't had any issues. Try bio-oil for getting rid of stretch marks or palmers cocoa oil.

With the super busy day that I had yesterday (all that baking and then made supper), I just realized that I forgot to put the sprouted mung beans into the stirfry. I don't want them to go bad before I make our next stirfry. Does anyone have any recipe suggestions for these bean sprouts?

I had the day off yesterday for my midwife appointment and managed to get lots done.

Also went to a "free sale" at a local church that mainly had children's clothes. Managed to get a sweater and t-shirt for DS and about half a shopping bag full of clothes for the new baby. Also ran into an old friend there that was helping with the church that sent me home with a pack of diapers for the babe.

So blessed to have these kind of events in our community :)

Also, does anyone know what is going on with Similac MOM drinks at Shoppers? Went to 4 different Shoppers yesterday to use my 20x the points coupon (went on Saturday but their Optimum scanning thing was down) and they were pulled off the shelves at all locations. I asked and they think they've been discontinued or recalled?? They were there on Saturday :confused:

Nothing fancy but I use them on salads and wraps.

Yes, I did. Maybe it's just genetics? :(

Pre-stretch marks, I applied it. Once they appeared, DH applied more on those areas so they wouldn't get worse. I'm actually still applying it one month after birth.

The only time I didn't apply it was during the ninth month, when I was applying medication for the rash.

My sister said the same thing happened to her, although I don't know if she used the exact same body butter as I'm using.

Frugal way to eat some fresh pizza:biggrin::

Took off a few vacation days off at home with the kids. Cleaned out the entrance closet finally! Tossed 7 pairs of shoes in the garbage and added 5 coats to the for sale pile. Then cleaned out the pile of odds and ends in my room. Then cleaned out my youngests dresser and closet. 13 pairs of too small like new jeans/ ppants added to the for sale pile plus tons of. Tops etc. Feels so good! Will tackle my other kids room on the weekend.

My whole house needs serious help! lol

My 12yr old an I did his room this week. 3 garbage bags full of stuff came out of there...1 donate, 1 of outgrown clothes that went to a coworker and 1 to the garbage. Now to tackle the other bedroom. And maybe mine!

Sesame Chicken in the freezer. Pancake sausage muffins are next. My kids love them for breakfast. They just grab a few from the freezer and thaw in the microwave. Then gobble them up like they've never seen food before. http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/pancak...ausage-muffins
