Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover (Review & Giveaway)

Do you have mold or mildew in your home?  Are you sure?  With 3 bathrooms in our house,   I'll admit that cleaning the bathroom is one of my least favorite household chores.  But, the thought of having a dirty bathroom makes me squirm!  I know that just because I can't see it (mold, mildew, germs), doesn't mean it isn't there.  So, when I got the chance to review the new Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, I jumped at the chance.  


Soft Scrub cleaning products have been a favorite of mine for quite sometime because I know they work and they are easy to use!  The spray bottles even work upside down, making it easy to get into those hard to reach places!

The new Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel is thick and clings to those tough stains for maximum cleaning power.  It is tough on mold and mildew stains while being gentle on your surfaces.  

I've used Soft Scrub cleaning products throughout my entire home: in my bathrooms, in the kitchen, and even in the bedroom windows where mold and mildew love to set in around late spring and early summer!

I also love the fact that there are no harsh fumes or odors to worry about.  There is nothing worse than getting light headed and sick to your stomach while keeping your house clean for your family.  Soft Scrub not only leaves my household surfaces clean, it also leaves them smooth and free of grimy overspray films.

Tips for killing mold in your bathroom:

Get Down and Dirty:  When I clean my tub and shower, I get inside the tub!  I make sure to get into every little corner, around the drain and into the jets in our tub!  

 

Celebrate IHOPs 55th Birthday with New Summer Signature Pancakes‏ (Review)

They always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  But what if you're having it for dinner?  Breakfast for dinner is always a favorite in our house, especially since we all love pancakes, waffles and french toast!

Just in time to celebrate their 55th birthday, IHOP (the breakfast giant) has announced their newest, most creative summer signature pancakes available in restaurants for a limited time.  These tasty pancake flavors include Tiramisu, Jelly Donut (Seriously?!) and Banana Graham.


Whenever we go to IHOP we always face the same issue... what delicious breakfast item to choose!  It's not only the kids who have a difficult time making their choices.  I will admit that I usually have 2 or 3 that I really want and wait until the last possible minute to make my final decision.  We are never disappointed, just wish our stomachs were bigger and that we could enjoy all of our favorites!

The three new signature pancakes are:

  • Jelly Donut Pancakes – Fluffy buttermilk pancakes filled with layers of luscious raspberry jelly then topped with glaze, more raspberry jelly and powdered sugar.
  • Tiramisu Pancakes - Buttermilk pancakes and sweet mocha cream topped with a drizzle of chocolate, whipped topping and a dusting of cocoa powder.
  • Banana Graham Nut Pancakes - Sliced fresh bananas grilled inside buttermilk pancakes layered with marshmallow cream, graham cracker crumbs and crushed honey-roasted pecans then topped with cinnamon cream cheese.

High Meat Prices Cutting Into Your Budget? Check Out Zaycon Foods for Cheap, Delicious Meat!


Looking at the meat prices in grocery stores makes me cringe, it is so expensive and can manage to eat up the bulk of your grocery budget!  Zaycon Foods was recently featured on Good Morning America, and you'd be amazed at their low prices!  How can they manage to provide such high quality meat for low prices?  The answer is strength in numbers. And not our numbers, yours! 

Zaycon Foods can sell its products at bulk rate prices to individual consumers and families because our unique sales event business model brings lots of people together, adding all their purchasing power into a combined bulk food purchase. And when you buy as part of a group that’s committing to such a large purchase, the power is in the hands of the purchaser! It’s the ultimate group buy in terms of both price and consumer empowerment.




You can pre-select exactly what you want to order from a given Zaycon sales event – sometimes you may want to stock up on our amazing meaty back ribs and sometimes it might be all about the Zaycon bacon – and then, on the day of the sales event, you and a whole big bunch of your neighbors will find yourselves in a nearby parking lot watching as an entire tractor trailer’s worth of high quality natural food is unloaded into all of your cars! You will be amazed at how quickly one of our refrigerated trucks goes from being filled with natural, fresh chicken or hundreds of gallons of grade A non-homogenized milk to being empty and back on its way to the farm!

Why Wrestle?

My son is 12 years old and started wrestling when he was a first grader (6 years old).  He has improved so much over the years, is learning and improving with each season and has won (earned) many medals.  Last month he took 2nd place at state!

For his final 6th grade writing assignment, he had to write an independent persuasive paper, trying to convince someone to do/try something.  Of course, he chose to write about wrestling - his passion!


Why Wrestle?

Today approximately one tenth of American citizens wrestle.  Well, if you ask me, I highly believe that more people should join the sport.  Here are a few reasons why you should wrestle.

First of all, wrestling is an excellent way to maintain a healthy body.  Valid research shows that roughly one in every three Americans are overweight.  An average high school wrestler loses 12 pounds, not including the weight they choose to cut, that is optional.  Wrestling can also support your eating habits.  In order to make your coach happy and wrestle in the correct weight class, you must eat smart and healthy.

All About Me - Autobiographical Poem



 Dedicating, strong-willed, active and determined
Lover of Snickers bars, milkshakes and popcorn
Who feels determined, dedicated and thankful
Who finds happiness in family, wrestling and animals
Who needs video games, underwear and my Ipod
Who gives a helping hand, undivided attention and enjoyment

Who fears defeat, bad grades and criminals
Who would like to win state wrestling, keep up the straight A's and be a millionaire
Who enjoys wrestling, collecting sports cards and playing with his dogs
Who likes to wear long socks, shorts and sweatshirts
Who dreams of being a college wrestler and a college wrestling coach

Father's Day 2013: What Makes Daddy Special?

Today is Father's Day, did you remember your Dad?  Father's Day has been celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June since becoming a very special national holiday in 1966.  

I'm 37 years old and I can't imagine a life without my dad.  I'm so fortunate to have my dad in my life and the life of my children.  Their "Pa" is near and dear to their hearts and the love goes both ways.  Growing up my dad was wonderful, patient and giving.  

Providing everything he possibly could (and more) for myself and my two siblings.  Now, as a grandparent, he lives for his grandchildren to the fullest extent!  Even though he was an AMAZING father, he might just be an even more amazing grandfather!

I recently asked my children: What makes Daddy special?

My adorable children and their wonderful Daddy!



Our 9 year old daughter answered:

Save Up to 70% OFF Shoes at the Kurt Geiger SALE

With two very active, growing children, it seems as though they are always needing new clothes and new shoes.   Making sure that they both have durable and comfortable shoes is a top priority all year long!   

Everyone knows that making everyday purchases can be hard on the pocket book if you don't shop wisely.  That is why I rarely make any purchase without shopping around first.  I look for the most current discounts, deals, coupon codes & promotional codes both in-store and online - that way I can get the best deals for my family.

Now that summer is upon us, I'm shopping for sandals, flip flops and slip-on sneakers for all of our family activities.  Of course, being able to save up to 70% OFF at the Kurt Geiger shoe sale is one event that was sure to catch my eye!

By shopping clearance sales and using coupons, I am able to make our money go further and dress my entire family in the latest styles and fashions!

Color Me Rad Spokane - It's Official!

"You're now an official runner of Color Me Rad Spokane on Saturday, June 15, 2013
Wear a white shirt to the race that you're prepared to have massacred by color."


I am SO excited about this upcoming Saturday, and have had a difficult time keeping this special secret from my daughter.  A few months ago she saw an advertisement for Color Me Rad and begged to go!  Every time she would see or hear something about it... she would ask again.


So, when I found out that Color Me Rad was actually coming to our area - I had to sign us up!

Granted, we have to get up very early on a Saturday morning to drive for 45 minutes to the Color Me Rad Spokane location.  We have to show up an hour before our wave time, which means we will be up at 5:30 am in order to have enough time to get ready and arrive in time.  

Of course, both my daughter and I HATE getting up early - but this is going to be worth every minute of sleep lost.  I know that when my 9 year old daughter figures out what we are doing, she is going to FREAK OUT!

Our Summer Vacation Bucket List

If you're a fan of Phineas and Ferb, then you already know that there are 104 days of summer vacation...

A couple weeks ago I saw a list of 100 frugal things to do this summer and it got me to thinking about what I wanted to do this summer with my children, and as a family.  Since my husband works all summer, I need to keep the kids active and entertained while we are on summer vacation.


We are going to the Oregon Coast for a week this July and have already rented a great beach house right on the sand.  The beach is literally right out the sliding class door and a few steps from the deck.  This is the week we are looking forward to most this summer - I can hardly wait!

Here is our Summer Fun Bucket List

  1. Amusement Park - Silverwood Theme Park (we have season passes)
  2. Color Me Rad 5K (already signed up)
  3. Go Boating
  4. Go Camping
  5. Attend an Outdoor Concert
  6. Watch 4th of July Fireworks
  7.  Montana Bison Range
  8. Spokane Indians Baseball Game
  9. Go Swimming
10. Waterpark - Silverwood Theme Park

Free Fishing Day - Catch of the Day

Tomorrow is free fishing day!  We take the kids to the city park every year on Free Fishing Day. Fish & Game along with our local Parks & Rec. block off the creek that runs through our city park and stock it with fish for the event!  This year they have stocked the creek with over 1,000 hungry trout!



Fishing begins at 9:00 AM and every child is allowed to catch 2 fish.  Last year, both of our kids caught their limit within 10 minutes!  They also have refreshments (cookies and lemonade) and numerous raffle prizes.  We have been going since our son was 1 1/2 years old and last year was the very first time ever that one of our kids have won a raffle prize.  Our son won a great fishing pole.  Yay!



It's a ton of fun and the kids have a blast!   The look forward to it each and every year.  The kids really enjoy getting to eat their "catch of the day."  We wrap them in foil with butter and seasonings and cook them outside on the grill!  Yummy.

Just in Time for Summer: Hapari Swimwear (Review & Giveaway)

After losing almost 60 pounds, I was actually excited to go shopping for a new swimsuit.  This summer instead of wearing a baggy t-shirt over the top of my swimsuit, I won't be wearing anything to cover it up!


Hapari has a great new line of trendy swimwear just in time for summer fun.  When I was offered the chance to review the one of my choice, I couldn't wait to go shopping.  Hapari Swimwear has a variety of new designs and prints that are sure to please.  Their swimwear is trendy, fashionable, colorful and flattering!

All of their swimsuits are super cute, but I especially love their tankinis. They look great on and are super comfortable.  I love that fact that they cover just enough, the comfort of a two-piece for the modest ones. It was a very tough decision, but I chose this one:


I love that this tankini has a shelf-bra with soft padding, side cinch and optional second strap!  Making it perfect for a day on the beach, boating, or at the waterpark.  I can easily pair this with a pair of boy short or bikini bottoms, a swim skirt or pair of board shorts for the perfect fit.

Honestly, I'm in the process of choosing another tankini top from Hapari because I love mine so much.  The colors are bright and vibrant, the prints are fun and trendy, and the bottoms are perfect.  My only problem is trying to make a decision on which one to get this time...

School's Out for Summer

It's official... School's Out for Summer!

Today is the last day of school for both of my kids, saying goodbye to 3rd and 6th grade.  As much as I am excited to spend a fun summer with my children, I am not looking forward to their first day of school in the fall.  Next year my "babies" will by in junior high (7th grade) and the "big kid" hall (4th grade). 


One of the 4th grade teachers at school always sings 'School's out for summer' over the intercom system a few minutes before the last bell rings - the kids love it!

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Help Stop Puppy Mills — It Starts With YOU!

Puppy mills, animal abuse and neglect disgust me and make me sick in so many ways!  You probably often hear about the horrors of puppy mills, and it seems impossible and unreal. Sadly, it happens every day and we can all do our part to make sure it STOPS happening! YOU play an essential role. You can help stop puppy mills!

Pet stores that care about puppies don't sell them. That's because the majority of pet stores that sell puppies carry dogs from cruel and inhumane puppy mills. Puppy mills are like dog-making factories with the mother dogs spending their entire lives in cramped cages or kennels with little or no personal attention or quality of life. When the mother and father dogs can no longer breed, they are discarded or killed. Consumers who purchase puppies from pet stores or over the Internet without seeing a breeder's home firsthand are often unknowingly supporting this cruel industry.


Help stop this cycle of cruelty simply by choosing to adopt your next pet from a shelter or rescue, or by only purchasing a dog from a responsible breeder who will show you where your puppy was born and raised. And that's not all—you can do even more by refusing to buy pet supplies from any store or website that sells puppies. Where you spend your dollars makes a difference. Make a statement when you shop!

SONIC’s Summer of Shakes: Half Price Milkshakes After 8 pm

Ice cream is one of our favorite summer treats, but enjoying such treats can often be expensive when you have to purchase one for each member of the family.  

Have you heard about SONIC’s Summer of Shakes, featuring 25 different milkshake flavors to choose from?  Each delicious flavor hand-mixed with real ice cream and topped with whip cream and  a cherry!  To make it even sweeter... SONIC shakes are half price after 8 pm all summer long.

I will admit that we have already been to Sonic three times to enjoy this special deal and yummy summer treat.  Once as a family, once with the grandparents, and once with the cousins!  I had cherry cheesecake, chocolate cheesecake and Oreo cheesecake... Yes, I love cheesecake!  My favorite?  I'm going to go with Oreo cheesecake!  

Last night we ordered 4 small milkshakes and 4 medium shakes and our total was less than $13!

Look at this list of mouth-watering real ice cream shake flavors to choose from:
