This is kind of a silly tip, but kind of not. I am obsessed with washing my hands. I am a huge germaphobe, trying to recover OCD maniac. Well, a great tip I just heard from a Dr. -- the perfect amount of time for a person to wash their hands, keeping our little kidlets in mind, is the same amount of time it takes to sing the ABC's or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. What a great idea.
On a similar note, when we started brushing my daughter's teeth she would fight it, she hated it so we decided to sing the ABC's and she loves it and has not faught getting her teeth brushed since. So, it sounds like the ABC's are a trick for several things.
I am a Mom to one adorable little girl, and have discovered since having my little girl that I have several interests that revolve around her. I also like to find free/cheap ways to explore those interests. Because I like free/cheap, I decided to start a blog to share what I have learned through others, or on my own. This ranges from Photoshop to sewing to cleaning. I want it all and I want to share it all. I hope you find it interesting and useful. Let me know what you think either through email, j4atkinson@gmail.com or leave a comment.
P.S. I'm not a photographer, I'm no expert, I'm a master of nothing, but I like to have fun with different things. I in no way claim to be an expert or perfect, I just like to teach others little things I have learned so they can take that skill and master it on their own.

I'm a germaphobe, too. My friend gave me a really neat product to teach my kids to cough and sneeze into their elbow. Hopefully this will stop the spread of germs to me! Anyway, it is an arm sleeve that they call Germy Wormy. It has a cute character on it that "catches" the kids germs germs and throw it away. Very neat. I am giving these for gifts this year.

Okay, I'm a huge germaphobe too, but you knew that already. In fact, I won't let my kids play on playground equipment at the mall or McDonalds. They're honestly deprived because of my issues. I'm off to check out germywormy now.
Thanks for the tips!
