Peanut Butter magic

When Audrey turned four, we told her she could start chewing bubble gum. I'm not sure why we picked four but honestly, I was in no hurry for her to chew gum. Since then, every time she writes her name correctly, she gets to chew a piece of gum. It's a HUGE motivator for her. She will write her name a million times in order to get to chew a piece of gum!!

I'm normally pretty good about remembering to make her get rid of it before nap time but on this day, I completely forgot. You can imagine what happened to that gum. Yep. All in her beautiful, brown hair. 


I've heard before that peanut butter or mayonnaise would get gum out of hair but I wasn't too confident in either one. I googled them both and the majority of people recommended peanut butter so off we went to glob PB in her hair. She thought that was waaaay too strange and I thought she may just cry when she saw how much I put in her hair. I was determined to not have to cut it out though!! 

It seriously worked like a charm. I barely had to tug on it and it slid right out. It's a good thing too because about 3 days later, she did it again!


*In baby news.. the morning sickness is completely over and I feel like my old self again!!! :) *
