Scott Hahn Book Giveaway!

I was pretty staunchly sticking to Lutheranism until someone put a Scott Hahn book and some audio tapes in my hands my senior year of college. Being a former protestant minister he gets it, and has a perfectly clear way of explaining the tenants and beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church that is easy to understand.

Sarah Reinhard from Catholic Mom blog is giving away five books by Scott Hahn, go check it out!

Masterbath Project

A few weeks ago one of the little ones pulled the soap dish off the wall during their bath. This is the only bathtub in the house. The other two bathrooms have showers. Since the "little" kids are too big for the kitchen sink, we're still using the tub after I covered the hole with plastic. When I decided to treat the mold, more tiles came off when I peeled back the plastic, making it worse.  Truth be told they were barely hanging on anyhow.... and are there many folks out there who would love this 1960's pink tub and tile? The priority here is to get this house back into market condition because in about two years we'll be due to PCS and we'll either rent it out or sell...and nobody is going to be interested if the bathroom looks like this.

On the plus side, the mold was easy to clean using an old tooth brush and soft scrub with bleach. I'm hopeful that the mold limited to the areas where the grout was worn away and not too extensive. But we won't know till we tear into the wall; not a positive prospect. We are not this handy and don't have any knowledgeable relations nearby, so we need to hire someone.
