Dittos for Kiddos

I have a new joy in life. Consignment Sales. There's one here in Abilene called Dittos for Kiddos... It's amazing. Some great finds I bought were: a little brown leather bomber jacket for $9, several pairs of pajamas $1.50 each... oh yeah, booster chair for the dinner table $10, 2 pairs of Old Navy jeans $5 each, and several winter vests and button down shirts for the boy $2-$3 each. This sale is so great because nothing is too worn, stained, or broken. Nothing can be under $2 (except at the end when most things go half price). And the consignors get most of the profit of what they sell. So, you could realistically and easily trade out winter/summer clothes. It's a great thing. (I'm sure I'm at the end of the bandwagon as far as getting involved in this sort of thing, but hey, I'm still excited.)

In other news, Deron's sick again. Puked all in the carpet. We've been trying since yesterday to get the smell out. Any ideas? We've continuously had the windows open, airing the room out (even all night), Resolve, other carpet/upholstery cleaner, ammonia, and febreeze. All several times. (whew) Still gettin' whiffs. That'll sell the house.

well, I know that baking soda, coffee, and rice absorb odors. Maybe you can rub baking soda and water into the carpet and let it sit for awhile. Maybe then put some coffee grounds on a paper towel and lay it over the stain. Just some ideas. -diane

Nature's miracle pet carpet cleaner. They have one with a citrus scent. Works with my dog's smells. All natural, so it is safe around kids and pets.
