Holiday Cleanup
How do you clean up after the holidays? For us, it is a tad more interesting. Madison’s birthday was yesterday (she turned 5!), so we always have the quick cleanup that needs to be done from the time we get back from visiting Wisconsin and her birthday party. I usually get about a week if we are lucky. Since we have the basement now, Bill let me keep up the Christmasy decorations, but we did pull down the Christmas tree. I need as much room as we can get, and this is pretty much the only way I was going to get it. I figure everybody will hang out downstairs for her party just like they did for Christmas Eve. The sad thing is that we are the only one on the block who still has their outdoor lights up. Now, we don’t leave them up till June or anything, but it seems that it is kinda odd that on 8th of January that everyone has packed up everything already. Now, I’ve slacked this week, and I have to get all my cleaning done tomorrow with the kids underfoot. This should be interesting. My sister is arriving tomorrow, so its not quite the end of the world if she’s the only one who sees my non-clean house.
How do you clean up? Do you have a set plan? Do you just do a little bit each day?

For All The Eddie Vedder and Chicago Cubs Fans!
If you don’t know, the Chicago Cubs clinched the National League Central Division at home here in Chicago. This is more exciting for us here than staying in some las vegas hotels.
Normally, my husband could care less what I put on my blog. However, he did ask that I pass along this video by Eddie Vedder. The song is called “All The Way”. Keep your fingers crossed, because Chicago will go nuts if the Chicago Cubs win the World Series!
Ten Things I Learned While I Was At Pampers/P & G
1. Use Head and Shoulders as a body wash. It removes fungus, athlete’s foot, etc
2. Their mission statement is Happy healthy baby development
3. According to studies that Pampers has done, babies who sleep uninterrupted all night function better in the morning. Keep the moisture away from their behind and they won’t wake up at night! (well, except to feed and Pampers really can’t do anything for that).
4. Pampers senstive wipes are softer than soap and water!
5. They try to see the world through a babies’ eyes. See picture below:
Yes, that bench is that big! It gives you a whole new perspective!
6. A baby walks more steps a day than a marathoner.
7. They have a “Discovery Center” where they have moms come in and test the diapers and prototypes. They get reimbursed for their time with gift certificates for local stores. They also have a daycare for the other children (who aren’t in diapers) of these moms.
8. The new Pampers Swaddlers have a pee line on them. 
There is actually a line on them that changes colors when babies do their thing in them.
9. Another goal of Pampers is to “make a tired mom smile”.
10. I want to drink the Pampers Kool Aid. These people truly believe in their product. We were a Pampers family before I went to this and this just cemented my diaper choice!
