Stains happen. Baby stains happen even more. We recently experienced what we have come to know as “poop-pocolypse” while shopping over the weekend. Things were going along just fine until we arrived at Sam’s club and I went to get Avery out of her car seat to put her in the carrier. Imagine the horror on my face when both I and shortly thereafter Aaron realized that she had not only pooped but had pooped all the way up her back and down both legs. To make matters worse she was wearing a brand new outfit.

Baby stains do not come out of clothing very easily. After throwing out several stained items I (and my wallet) had said enough is enough and I searched high and low for a product to remove stains. Basically every “stain remover” on the market out there just never fully got the stain out. So I did what I usually do when I have any sort of domestic question.

I turned to my mom.

My mom has a stain remover recipe for whites. Seriously this mish-mash of products always takes the stains out of my whites and makes them bright and new again but it also involves a touch of bleach. Since I didn’t want to destroy Avery’s beautiful new outfit I figured I could pull just a couple of the ingredients she uses to see if I could remove the now set in yellow poo stain from her new outfit.

What I found that actually works only involves 2 products. 2 products that you actually may already have in your home.

1. Arm and Hammer laundry detergent: I use the sensitive skin one. Here’s the link on Amazon. . I pour my detergent in a separate container so I don’t have a picture.

2. Borax: You can find it cheap on Amazon HERE.

I mixed these 2 together in a bucket with hot water and let the clothing soak overnight. The next day I just washed them in the washer normally and viola gross, yellow poo stain is gone!

Yes those entire white striped pants were completely yellow prior to soaking them. (Sorry I don’t have a before pic but I was struggling trying to change this little roller in the car in a parking lot.)

Now if your looking to whiten and remove stains from all white items add just a touch of bleach to the mixture and your whites will sparkle before you know it!

As always keep all household cleaning items out of the reach of small little humans.

    borax is awesome on poop stains! and if it doesn’t lift, sunning with lemon juice usually does the trick

Time really does fly by so fast that it’s hard to keep up and before I know it, a new little one will be joining our small, crowded home. Trying to get as much stuff done before that happens including adding storage options where I am able to.

As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a As a mom, one of the scariest things is to have a sick child, and as a nurse, I know how disruptive health issues can be on the lives of children and teens. Thankfully The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center is close by and provides high quality healthcare to the many children of Maine, and today, BBCH became one of the first hospitals in the country to receive the Connecting Joy grant from the @dunkin Joy in Childhood Foundation! #DunkinPartner
 
Maine’s Dunkin’ franchisees have given more than $500,000 to The Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital since 2012, mainly through the annual Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day campaign fundraiser (taking place on May 25th this year!). On Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day, $1 from every iced coffee sold at participating Maine Dunkin’ locations will be donated to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation to bring joy to kids at BBCH. (Excludes Cold Brew and Nitro Cold Brew.)
The $87k @JoyInChildhood grant will help bring joy through gaming experiences to pediatric patients with the hope of normalizing their stays at hospitals. Children that are living with chronic illness or dealing with a hospitalization are at greater risk than their peers for the impact of stress and anxiety. Distraction is a healthy coping mechanism for kids and teens to disengage with the hospital environment. Gaming provides the perfect escape to play, relax, laugh and experience joy.This grant will have an immediate impact by adding structure and staff support for gaming as part of the hospitals’ Child Life Program. 
Today, a Dunkin’ sampling truck provided free small, iced coffees and Munchkins to more than 1,000 Maine Medical Center employees in Portland and Scarborough. 
 
Dunkin’ is not only supporting the children of Maine, but the healthcare workers too. So, make sure to grab an iced coffee at Dunkin’ on May 25th to help support these wonderful programs as well!

A little over halfway there. Even though hitting A little over halfway there. 
Even though hitting these milestones feels slight reassuring, I know I won’t fully be able to breath until this little one is out and healthy. Even appointments bring about their own set of fears that something may be wrong. For now, I’m just taking it day by day and week by week and having hope that everything will be ok.

Any other moms or moms to be out there forgo the weekly pictures? I just can’t ever get my shit together enough to remember to take them. Tell me I’m not the only one.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that doesn’t enjoy pregnancy on this platform.
I love the end result and am so grateful to be creating a new life but lately I have had more bad days then good days. 

I’m exhausted, sick and barely have enough energy to get through the things that I need to do let alone the things that I used to enjoy like working out. The stress of trying to figure out how I’m going to get through the next 18 weeks has been overwhelming to me lately. 
I will still share the joys but I also think it’s more realistic to share the downfalls too so hopefully hearing that not all pregnant women glow 24/7 can give those who are struggling as well someone to relate to.
