must have monday

i think i jinxed myself awhile back when we experienced the dude's first blowout when i said "we're lucky because he hasn't had many blowouts." ha! the clean poops are a thing of the past now! we've moved onto one to two outfit changes a day due to 'messy' diapers. poor daycare has to deal with most of them as the dude tends to be an afternoon guy. *side note...i love how i openly talk about poop now!*

so now my evening ritual includes not only nursing, feeding cereal, cleaning bottles, making bottles, sometimes taking a bath and then putting to bed...but it now also includes washing out the 'messy' clothes from school. this is where my must have monday comes into play...

Shout Gel, 8.7-Ounce (Pack of 3)


oh man...this stuff takes EVERYTHING out!! and we've seen some horror scenes here lately! because grana had bought us a little bottle of the totally toddler stain remover we gave it a shot. it also claimed to get everything out of clothes. but to our dismay, the dude's poop stains would normally still be there after one washing. i was having to wash his clothes twice and apply the totally toddler twice until the stain was gone...not liking that!

but the shout is great. i rinse the clothes in our set tub in the basement (thanks grampa for helping grady put that in. it's a lifesaver!) to get all the 'mess' off of them and then just squirt some gel on the stains, use the brush to massage the gel into the clothes and then i just lay it on the side of the set tub until i do a load of the dude's laundry. even with the worst stains that i thought wouldn't come out, the shout gel has not let me down!

i did have a hard time finding it at target, but i did find it pretty easily at walmart. it's cheap and well worth the investment! happy laundering!
