Cleaning Frenzy

Warning! Extremely Fascinating story below.....


Before
(not my shower but same idea)


After

When we bought our house almost 2 years ago I was amazed at how clean the previous owner had kept everything. Everything except the master bathroom shower that is. The caulk around the bottom of the shower was black especially in the corners. Shortly after we moved in I scrapped out all the caulk with a razor blade and then completely re caulked the floor, which took forever. I thought everything was great until 2 weeks later when the floor looked almost as bad as it did before I did anything. Anyway long story short I finally found this helpful advice. The cleaning process took a really long time. You start by cleaning the shower like normal. You then cover the shower in paper towels drenched in vinegar, and let it sit for a hours, and then you do the same thing with paper towels and bleach to get all the mess that is deep under the caulk. I am a little bummed that I didn't take before and after shots because my shower looks awesome! This did take super long and my house officially stinks like bleach and vinegar. The whole thing is pointless if you don't keep the mildew from coming back. The way to do this is to keep your shower clean and dry, so no shutting the shower door anymore. I just read what I wrote, and this is a pretty boring entry. But who knows... Maybe someone cares?

Today Owen turns 2! Here are some pictures from this morning. Dad made a fun birthday breakfast. Owen was a little unsure about riding the bike he got, but he LOVED ringing the bell on it.

Thrilled to be ringing the bell!


Opening presents!


Owen loved the picture of Grandma & Grandpa Davis

presidents day

On Monday we took a picnic to snow canyon . Here are some pictures of our little adventure. It is about a half mile hike to get to the white sand dunes. I had to stop and pee twice! Note to self, maybe avoid going places w/ out restrooms for the remainder of the pregnancy. I will let you all imagine how graceful I look while balancing to squat at this point.

Owen was really sad to leave the sand. He could have stayed there all day. As you might guess from seeing him roll around in it in the clip below, we found sand everywhere!

Typical!


Okay... I am pretty sure I have some sort of control over the universe! Every time I buy something it goes on sale the next day. To anyone who might be interested. The Phil and Teds Stroller that I got has now gone on sale. Every online retailer is now throwing in the doubles seat for free, and has free shipping, so looks like I paid about $20 more than I had to. Live and learn I guess.
