Frigidaire Washer and Dryer installationTim walked in the room at about 8:05 this morning calling my name over and over.. Alicia, Alicia, Alicia!  I didn’t want to wake up.  The first morning I’ve slept in until 8:00 and he’s trying to wake me up?  About 30 seconds later I heard “Willie” call out “Your new appliances are here!”. just like they do on the Home Make-Over show.  That got me out of bed in record time.  It was so cool!

Willie our fabulous appliance installer, along with his 2 fast and efficient assistants and Tim straight from Electrolux are installing our new Frigidaire Washer and Dryer quicker than I ever could have imagined.

It’s 8:45am and we’re having a party in my garage!  My adrenaline is pumping and I can’t wait to report back to you when everything is installed and working!

Things are changing by the minute.. the Microwave just made its way inside so I’ll be back with more news as I have it!

–update– Willie just started the washing machine for me to make sure it works and it’s amazing!  The spin cycle is so quiet!

SquidSoap

"Awww… you made me ink!"  That is one of my favorite lines from Finding Nemo.  Did you know that your kids can have fun with ink?  No, not the kind in a pen but the SquidSoap kind which is actually vegetable dye.

          SquidSoap by Airborne® is designed to teach and
train proper hand-washing technique to children. It’s the only
liquid-soap dispenser with a specially designed pump that stamps a
child’s hand with vegetable dye. It takes about 20 seconds of thorough
hand washing to remove the ink mark, leaving the child with clean
hands. So it literally takes the guesswork out of whether or not your
kids have washed their hands thoroughly. It’s easy, fun and effective.

I have to admit that Sebastian, 8 years old, was a little bummed that he had to put ‘ink’ on his hands at first.  However, after using SquidSoap a couple of times he thought it was cool. Eight year old boys just don’t have the time to stand around washing their hands.. silly me.   Now I simply require that the kids wash their hands in the kitchen where I can see them use vegetable dye on the top of the SquidSoap dispenser and then check to see that the dye is gone when they have finished washing their hands.

This is a great product. One that every parent should have in their home.
