What do the following have in common: Noah, apple cider vinegar & plantars wart?

I was ready to find a doctor to remove a large plantars wart from the bottom of Noah's foot. It was getting caught on things and was bothering him when he ran.

I began asking around about doctors and I am embarrassed to say a friend had to tell me about this natural method for removing warts!  I have never heard of it!

My friend Allison, and another lady we know, both successfully removed the warts from their daughters by using apple cider vinegar!

So, Noah and I tried it... each night we used a Band-Aid to "tape" a small piece of cotton swab that we had soaked in raw apple cider vinegar.  We were told it would probably take several weeks to a month for it to be gone completely.

We were SHOCKED by the outcome.... his wart was gone after 6 applications!!!  Within a week... GONE.  It was so interesting that we took a pic each morning to document how well it worked. 

Morning after the first application:

 
Morning after 2nd application:




Morning after 3rd application:  part of it has come off and it's flattened out




Morning after 4th application... now it just looks like a scab

Matt wins Homecoming Queen (9th grade)

Yes, the moment every mother is proud of... when she opens up Facebook and finds that her SON has been elected "Homecoming Queen".

I love the fact that Matt doesn't take himself too seriously and can have a little fun, at his own expense.  From the parents who witnessed the event at the pep rally (which Jeff and I knew NOTHING about), Matt apparently hammed it up quite a bit!
