Having teen boys means I never have to cut the grass or do any of the dirty yard work I do not want to. It means I have two strong boys to help me with all of the heavy lifting and digging that needs to be done. With Spring here and more days being warmer, we are spending a lot of time in the yard. Trying our best to make it pretty and functional for the summer.
Last weekend I got to work weeding the flower beds and put the boys to work mowing the lawn. One mowed the front and the other the back. We had a truck load of large rocks to frame the front flower bed that needed to be emptied. I could not reach them or lift many so they helped with this as well. It took the entire day but it was worth it. The yard looks amazing and I am so glad we tackled it. Sadly the dandelions grew instantly and the yard needed mowing again a few days later. But we will keep on top of it!
When we came in, everyone got cleaned up and I threw on a load of laundry. The clothes were a mess! They are covered in grass and dirt from the yard work. I was not worried, I have OxiClean. I threw the clothes in with my OxiClean and they came as good as new. Now we can tackle more yard work and other dirty projects worry free this summer.

If I’m talking about my kids, the stains are endless, but I find for my clothes oil based stains are the worst. Like from cooking oil, or an oil based salad dressing.
Oil is the worst
16 years ago – I stayed with my sister after the birth of her first child… after the requisite feeding and burping, you could hear the tummy rumbles, and their anterior escape. I was getting ready to change her, and my sister said to wait a few minutes. Again, more evacuation noise…when it finally stopped, I changed her….. well… I thought she was done, but apparently not. My khakis got a healthy dose of new born poop on them. All I could do was stand there, trying to cover up the projectile pooper, while my sister laughed herself silly.
BBQ sauce and mustard
Blueberry stains are hard to get out. My family are pickers (we live in N Ontario where there are lots of wild blueberries). I have what I now refer to as “picking pants” because they’re so stained they’re not good for much else. I’ll remember to try Oxi Clean in future.

I have tough fights with sunscreen stains – when I accidentally get sunscreen on our kid’s clothes and swimwear it leaves a yucky yellowish stain that I struggle to get out.
