Why Didn't I...

...think of that?!

That is, using shaving cream to get out stains from carpet, upholstery, clothes, you name it. I mean it should have been obvious, right? There's a reason I don't get out my 409 to take care of couch stains and carpet stains. You need foam for that sort of thing, something that won't soak in. Sure you could put of dawn in the blender and get some great suds, but who has time? 

This is a Twinnovation from Nikki. You rock Nikki! And I'm going to get some shaving cream ASAP and try it on the pizza stains on my white arm chair. Yes I fed the babies pizza in the living room next to the white chair. I'll let you know what happens. 

This Weeks Twinovation

This weeks Twinnovation is The Vacuum cleaner!

I love my vacuum. I really do. I love it more today than yesterday *breaking out in song* but I love you, Less today, Less than I wiiiiiiiiillllll tomorrow! 

*sigh* I love Elvis.

Anyway, today I realized I can vacuum my kitchen floor. Now sure, I always knew I could, in theory. It was just something you don't do. You vacuum carpet, you sweep the floor. You never vacuum the floor. Today I questioned the establishment! (Don't worry, I know it's just an imagined establishment, just like all establishments we question.) and took my vacuum off roading-- off carpeting. Then I got out the hose attachment (on board, of course! :) ) and vacuumed off the boys' trays on their walkers that they eat in because Bob can't climb out of his... yet... 

I could have just cried. My life just got easier! A few less moments of survival mood and a few more moments of near sanity. 

Now I want this:

I was actually thinking of inventing one the other day, *dreamy look in eyes* a handheld wet/dry vac I can vacuum my kitchen counters with! But then I thought "Maybe someone else already has! That would be great 'cause I really don't need one more thing to do." And there it is. With free shipping. Tears of joy people, tears of joy.

So hug your vacuum this week and take it off carpeting and do a little less sweeping. Your broom won't mind.
