"PRODUCTS I LOVE SERIES": HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

When it comes to household items, there is nothing I love more than ONE safe and inexpensive product that has a plethora of uses from cleaning to first aid.  On any given day, if you would open my closets or under the sink cabinets you will find what seems like a million bottles and containers of cleaning products. While each one of these products work great for their own use, the cost adds up as does the danger to my ever curious two year old. 

Now that my son finds entertainment in doing the complete opposite of what he knows he shouldn't,  I have resorted to moving anything that is dangerous (those "lovely" locks that we bought at Babies R Us just aren't cutting it anymore) out of his reach.  And now I'm trying to go one step further and partly eliminate some of those "thousands" of cleaning products.

 

While doing my research into safe and effective cleaning products, I learned that one of my favorite stain removing and wound cleansing products is capable of doing much much more! Now I have a bottle in many rooms of my house! Hydrogen Peroxide is a miracle cleaner and cleanser that is completely safe. Safe enough to use around children! And that's perfect for our house!!

If you are like I was and only think that hydrogen peroxide is good for cleaning cuts, then CLICK HERE to see my list of some of the best uses for this magic product!



"PRODUCTS I LOVE SERIES": MR. CLEAN MAGIC ERASERS

With a toddler in the house, I am always at one moment or another cleaning, cooking, or picking up after my little man. And since my son was born, I have really become more in tune with a lot of products out there to help me accomplish those tasks.  Over the last few years, I have found several "can't live without" products that have really made my life easier!! So I've decided to make a new series of posts now and then about some of the products that I love and how they really do make my life a whole lot easier!  These won't just be cleaning products. Some will be foods, organizational products, health and beauty....anything really.  Eventually, you will be able to find links to the posts from my main page. :) I hope they help some of you the way they have helped me!!

 

First up on my list are these heaven sent cleaning pads! Mr. Clean Magic Erasers! Click here to read about why I love them and how you can too!



SPACE SAVING DVD STORAGE

Pre-kid times, my home was always neat and tidy. Very seldom would there be a pile of mail on the table or clutter in the corner.  However, after my son was born, my living room began to look more like a daycare and less like a home.  And while I admit that I hate the clutter, I wouldn't change my lil human tornado for anything!

 

One thing in my living room that is a total eyesore, is our DVD collection.  When my husband and I first got married and we combined our DVD collections, we bought a big wooden DVD storage shelf. After a while, we managed to fill the shelving unit and then some.  (When I say "and then some", I mean 600+ DVDs).  And in my opinion, nothing looks tackier than a ton of DVD cases taking up space in my living room.  So I was determined to eliminate some of the clutter by figuring out a way to condense all the movies.

It's Been AWHILE!

Hey everyone! I know its been awhile since I've made any posts here. Its been a pretty crazy June and I just could never seem to find the time to sit down an post. I have been up to a lot of things this past month and will be posting about them soon! 

Earlier this month we went to Ocean City, MD for a week and while it wasn't as hot as i would have wanted it was still great beach weather!  My husband and I really enjoyed just relaxing on the beach while Colton had fun playing in the sand. 

(I love how my foot looks the same size as my husband's. LOL)

Since returning from vacation I have begun several projects that I hope to post about soon! I started making a Quiet Book for Colton and have completed several pages! I can't wait to share my pages with you all, it's definitely a fun project that I know my son will LOVE!

Another thing I wanted to share with all of you were two items that i found on a recent trip to Costco. While as a general rule I usually do not buy alot of premade frozen food for meals, however, when I saw these I knew I had to try them.

These are amazing!  If you belong to Costco, you have to look for them.  The raviolis are in the freezer section. They are stuffed with mozzarella cheese and spinach...sooo good!! They have a parmesan herb packet that you sprinkle on them after you cook them. They are amazing! The other thing is a stuffed Chicken breast that is stuffed with artichokes and spinach. It's just like having spinach artichoke dip inside chicken! Yummy!! I definitely would recommend these to anyone!
