How To Remove Stains From Kid’s Clothes

Before I became a mother, I thought I was an expert in parenting. I had a very clear picture of what kind of parent I would be and already had a long list of things about what my kid would NEVER do.

And then the little one came in with his own agenda. I have no idea what happened to that list thereafter. He did everything possible to make it difficult for me to be the kind of parent I imagined myself to be.

I tried to only look at his cute face every time he ate with food all over him. Trust me it is one beautiful moment when your toddler is trying to master the art of eating. No one would like to spoil that moment by worrying about –
