Ribbons

Ribbons can be very pretty on little girls dresses and in their hair, but the bad thing with them is that they fray and began to look very nasty. The easy way to cause them not to fray is to cover the very end in clear finger nail polish. It works wonderfully.

Babies Sore Bottoms

When my children were little a lot of times when I changed their diapers their little bottoms would really be sore. I used some of the store boughten remedies out there but sometimes the creams would feed the sore. I found that the best thing to do was just sprinkle corn starch on it. It would dry out their little bottoms out and make the sores better faster.

Making Bubbles

We made bubbles with our children when they were little. My daughter got into it again with her children, thanks to her mother-in-law. But she found a new recipe, we have always used glycerin, but it is super expensive. She found a recipe with corn syrup. It is 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup detergent and one gallon of water. Then you can use hangers and make the biggest bubbles ever. Your children will love them.
