I wonder if that really works?

Not sure if it would work here in our house as I use girly deodarant and all my 5 men use manly stuff.<BR/><BR/>Oh oh oh..this reminds me: my oldest son Jon has this friend Kris who everyday kept coming over and I could swear I smelled baby powder..so I asked him if he was wearing baby powder, to which his face turned red and said "Noooo..I'm out of deodarant and so I'm using my Mom's"..this truly cracked me up,lol. At least he smelled good, ☺Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-39857548706274903952007-08-11T10:09:00.000-04:002007-08-11T10:09:00.000-04:00Carla, thank you!

You're always so encouraging.<BR/><BR/>Shyla, you're welcome! And I have big babies too. My biggest was almost 10# and my smallest just shy of 9#.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Demeter! It really does add up after a while.<BR/><BR/>Carrie, my husband was just laughing about it last night! He actually showed people at work the blog! LOL But there was a little pride in his voice as he told me about it (it's what I want to believe anyway). BTW, I'm going to add you to my fav's if you don't mind. I love your blog and check it almost every day.<BR/><BR/>Michelle, how funny! I actually had a picture of mine that I was going to put up with the deodorant post, but the post was long enough as it was. Hmmm...maybe I'll add it in the next couple of days!My name is Michelle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02649101060281144314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-29926592665694751162007-08-11T08:39:00.000-04:002007-08-11T08:39:00.000-04:00What a creative idea!I have thought about trying o...What a creative idea!<BR/>I have thought about trying one of these<BR/>http://www.crystaldeodorantprotection.com/<BR/>They are an 'investment' initially, but they are supposed to be healthier for you, and they last for years!<BR/><BR/>Michelle W.Michelle W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16477402899065241330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30488975.post-28431147532169988152007-08-11T00:00:00.000-04:002007-08-11T00:00:00.000-04:00I've been scraping mine out and putting it in a ja...I've been scraping mine out and putting it in a jar and using a round makeup sponge to put it on with. I like your idea much better. I'll have to try this when I get enough together. My husband just shakes his head at some of my "tricks" as he calls them but I know he likes it when I save us money. I can't wait to hear what he will say when he sees me microwaving the deodrant!

I use butter wrappers to get all the butter off, etc. But I have never done what you have done with deodorant! This will be my next "project". It gives me personal satisfaction to do things like this! :) I would love to hear more of your ideas. Thanks for this idea! I am off to check out our deodorant bottles!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>CarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
