Seventh Generation Prize Pack & Le Creuset Baking Pan Giveaway!

November 17, 2011 By
SG Dish Liquid Prize Pack

The winner is scottsgal! A common misconception when it comes to cleaning is that it can't be done well through natural means. We've been programmed to think that we need all of those chemicals, but in reality, we don't. I use things like lemon juice and white vinegar to clean utensils and appliances, just like my grandmother did. Even though I've used Seventh Generation laundry products, I hadn't tried their all-natural dish soap until recently. Going by past experience, I knew their … [Read more...]

Dawn Power Clean Dishwashing Liquid #Giveaway (3 Winners!)

November 10, 2011 By
dawn

Congratulations to our winners: Cynthia, Amber and Terra! I can admit now that one place I always cut corners in the grocery store was on dish washing liquid. Why pay more when the 99-cent bottle is staring you in the face? Soap is soap, I thought. After using Dawn for the past several months, I am a convert. The cost is a little more, but worth it in my opinion. It works better and doesn't dry out your hands. The new Dawn Power Clean Dishwashing Liquid has micro-scrubbing enzymes that … [Read more...]

Dressing the Mess with Designer Liners (Review & Giveaway)

September 15, 2011 By
show-thumb

deanna is the winner! It was kind of ridiculous what I went through to find the perfect trash can for my powder room. But after painting and changing light fixtures and accessories, the waste basket was the last item I added. It's not really a glamorous thing, so you might as well make it look pretty. Only it didn't look so pretty once I added an ugly liner to it that didn't match or go with anything in the room. It was either live with it, or forgo the liner (yuck!). As far as … [Read more...]

Swiffer Sweeper Vac (Review and Giveaway)

September 1, 2011 By
sweepervac

Susan B is the winner! My husband and I differ in how we prepare for company. He wants the floors to be spotless before they arrive. Of course I do too - I always want them to be spotless. But I know that in a few hours' time, the mess will be made all over again. Especially since much of the time, our guests include children just as messy as mine. I feel like if I buff the floors clean before they arrive, I'll be focused on the floors when my attention should be on enjoying the … [Read more...]

{Spoiled Mom} Wind & Weather Wine Cooler Review, $50.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway!

April 25, 2011 By
WindWeatherlogo.jpg

Closed.  Congrats to the winner, Alicia! In our last house, the previous owners had installed a wine refrigerator in the kitchen.  I really loved the look of it there, but since we didn’t use it enough when we had one, we couldn’t justify the expense when we moved into our current home.   We just cool our wines in the refrigerator when we know we’ll be having company over. But when we have a gathering, like we did over Easter, there’s usually not a square inch of space left in … [Read more...]

Custom Disney Self-Inking Stamps from Expressionery.com (Review + Giveaway)

April 9, 2011 By

Years ago, I ditched those adhesive address labels for envelopes and bought an ink stamper instead.  It was so much easier than fumbling for a label, peeling and sticking, etc.  I liked that it blends in with the color of the envelope while a label might clash. But still, it didn’t exactly look good.  It was the kind of stamper that required you to put a lot of pressure on the inkpad, and then on the paper.  I worked hard at mastering this art but rarely got it to come out looking … [Read more...]

Purex with Zout Giveaway–2 Winners!

March 31, 2011 By
purexwzout-logo.png

I remember when laundry involved using a stain pre-treater that you’d have to let soak in at least an hour before starting the washer. As a Purex Insider, I had the opportunity to try the new Purex Complete with Zout.  There’s no pre-treating necessary with this detergent – it’s built right in! It’s not for everyone, but I like a scented detergent for my laundry.  The Fresh Morning Burst scent smells so pretty, but it’s not an overwhelming scent once the clothes are washed … [Read more...]

Gel Pro Floor Mats for the Home (Review)

March 27, 2011 By 1 Comment
gelpro_logo.gif

Whatever type of house you live in, chances are you have either hardwood, linoleum, tile, or concrete floors in your kitchen.  Easier to clean than carpeting, but a whole lot harder on shoeless feet.  I probably spend most of the day in the kitchen, between cooking, cleaning, dishes and organizing every other random thing that lands there.  We have a few rugs in our kitchen to help warm the space and provide some type of cushioning, but no rug can compare to the benefits you … [Read more...]

Oransi Robby Wash Ball (Review + Giveaway)

March 7, 2011 By
oransi_logo.jpg

Winner - Penny Zeni I’m envious of anyone who has a big laundry room with only one door.  Ours is tiny, and it’s the pass-through between our garage and the house so even though we added cabinets, we still struggle with storage in such a small space. When I saw that this little Robby Wash Laundry Ball will replace about 12 months of laundry detergent--and the required storage area, I had to see what this was about. The ball is filled with pellets.  You just toss the ball in with … [Read more...]
