“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for P&G. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own.” Summer can be an itchy season -- especially for my family. There are the bug bites, plus the usual skin sensitivities.

Our sensitive skin means that I have to carefully consider the products I use in my home -- if I choose the wrong soap, Continue reading...
How to Clean Tile and Grout Genie Giveaway
All of my home's bathrooms have ceramic tile floors. I like to clean the tile floors with my new Swiffer WetJet, which makes mopping a tile floor quick and easy, with no mess! But while the Wet Jet does a great job in getting dirt up off the tiles, it skims over the grout lines, missing the grime that can accumulate there. In the past, I've had to get on my hands and knees with a sponge to scrub out the dirt. Not anymore -- I've discovered a product for the Swiffer Wet Jet mops that is designed to clean grout lines -- Grout Genie Grout and Tile Pads. The Grout Genie scrubbing pad has a Continue reading...

#Swifferdads: Cleaning with Swiffer Wet Jet
Two Big Green Boxes arrived at my home recently, and my kids were super excited! They've seen commercials on TV that feature the Swiffer Big Green Boxes (I love those commercials!), so they couldn't wait until the boxes arrived at our home! We received the Big Green Boxes as part of the #SwifferDad campaign. Swiffer is great for my husband -- he is much neater than I am and loves the simplicity and effectiveness of the Swiffer Wet Jet mops.

Losing Fat Through Chores
Have you ever seen the TLC series, My Big Fat Fabulous Life (#MyBigFatFabLife)? I just started watching My Big Fat Fabulous Life on TLC recently, and I just love it!

I don't have the weight problem that Whitney has, but like Whitney, I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism, both of which may have contributed to the weight gain Continue reading...
Give Your Bathroom a Quick Clean
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Scrubbing Bubbles®. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating.” I don’t enjoy cleaning my home, and the thing I like the least is cleaning the bathrooms. In fact, I will only clean a bathroom if I can shower immediately after! I tend to clean the bathroom first thing in the morning. Even if I wear gloves while cleaning, I don’t feel clean after cleaning the bathroom. So, I like to clean the bathroom a few times a week before I shower, so the bathroom doesn’t get too dirty!
