For those of you who still have children that may color on the walls or other places I have a few tips that may help you out. 

Stain remover for crayon from your walls or other painted objects: spray WD-40 and wipe up crayon then use 409 to wipe up grease stain from WD-40

Stain remover for marker on objects: rubbing alcohol works great

Stain remover for spills on carpet: blot up stain then  mix 1/2 white vinegar 1/2 water  and pour on stain and let dry.

How to keep your kitchen table looking somewhat decent: I kept an old vinyl tablecloth for crafts and playdo. I would take this outside after the kids were done with their creative time and shake it out. It saved my table from paint, glitter, glue, and many other craft materials.

Maybe the above ideas will help you keep your sanity. People used to tell me all the time to enjoy the time when my kids were little because they grow up so fast. My oldest is now taller than me. Take time to slow down and enjoy each moment.

Finding music for kids is quite a task. I don’t want anything cheesy, and I need it to be easy to learn. I have some new songs for Club ROCK and I love the easy way I was able to download them.

Most kids praise and worship videos are found in a DVD format. This is great if you are doing the songs in order, but if you want to change the order this can be a challenge. I started converting the files to mp4 and dropping them in Media Shout. This helped, but it takes a while to convert a whole DVD into mp4 files. Sometimes the files are not saved as chapters or individual songs so cutting the video is necessary.

Hillsongs Kids has saved me from converting files and cutting the video. They now have available mp4 video files to download. The graphics and sound quality are top notch. It took me just a few minutes to download them and pop them into Media Shout.

I wish other kids sites would follow. It is worth a little extra money to save time!
