I feel the need to warn any and all new viewers to my blog about the usually boring and unedifying information that pops up from time to time on my blog - okay, okay, nearly all the time. I post about the kids for my extended family located across the U.S. and I post about homemade laundry detergent and cloth diapers for my fellow mom friends that are pinching pennies right along with me. Only recently have I posted about True Vine since I just couldn't put the movement to words until Brian grasped it all over the last training weekend. And, you must understand that I am ever-so-slightly sarcastic. I love to write about my daily grind in a way that, I hope, will leave my readers with a smile and a fleeting thought "She's crazy."
Aaaaand, if you've commented here I've added a link to your blog...

Lori - keep writing whatever you feel compelled to write. It is during those times between diapers that God does some of His best work. And just so you don't think I am one dimensional, here is my contribution to your frugality.
The world’s best diaper rash treatment given to us 24 years ago by an old country doctor who could never practice medicine in today’s world because he used more common sense than HMO approved methodology.
Take one clean and dry cast iron skillet and place it dry onto medium high heat. Sprinkle in a little white flour and heat until browned. What you end up with is the antidote to ammonia. The panacea to urea. I know this sounds complicated but flour browned in such a way is the most awesome remedy to diaper rash. Apply lightly then clean and replace with each diaper and miracles will occur.
I am going to encourage Suzette to contribute here as well. I may have gotten the ingredients wrong. Remember that we raised 5 kids on one income and throughout it all “they” would always tell us she should get a job. Stay at home mom your rewards are greater than money so they take longer to become visible.
(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. I have never even played one on TV. This is not medical advice. Use at your own risk.)
Pardon my ignorance, but what is "Ruby's Mom"? I don't see that anywhere on my blog:) I assume it is a christian reference that I have never heard of before.
I love to hear about new remedies and homemade products!
Whoa - Terry knows about diaper rash?!??! Impressive!
And, Monica - I can change your link to be your name - but "Ruby's Mom" makes me happy since my kids will still refer to Ruben as Ruby. If Ruben ends up with a nickname of Ruby I cannot be held responsible - God gave him the red hair.
Lori- i have a few tips but not off of the top fo my head I will think of them and comment soon.
Suzette
That's fine. I was thinking of rubies as in jewels.
I already scold Tim almost every day for calling him Ruby. Ruby is a girl's name. What is it with this family in their eagerness to switch the end of names with "ie" or "y"? Timmy, Angie, Lori (opps that's your real name), Mikey, Sophie, Ruby...soon we may be using Jackie.
Lori, I've always felt you were crazy. No need to worry!!!
