sunscreen saved my life

you heard me correctly... sunscreen! 

today my darling claire got out the black sharpies and went to town on my new red leather couch and ottoman!  No, I don't have a picture because at the time I had 1 child to kill and a couch to save!!!

i first tried leather cleaner while claire was hugging my leg... nothing--

i ran to the computer and googled it... the suggestion,   toothpaste and baking soda
in the meantime, while i was searching claire got a wipe and was trying to wipe down the couch... back to time out for her and i started scrubbing.
it did lighten, but still very visable-- back to the computer and i found

this article on permanent marker removal

and low and behold IT WORKED!!!! YEA!

notice all the supplies all over the floor

seriously look at this... and there was marker everywhere on this cushion!!


AND THAT IS THE STORY OF HOW SUNSCREEN SAVED MY LIFE and PROBABLY CLAIRE'S :)

THE SUNSCREEN=  my new favorite, never go without, equate 50 sunscreen for kids


and everyone got to live :)
