crayola

My kids and I went to the Crayola Factory last spring for the first time, and loved it.  We spent the whole day trying different Crayola products and enjoying different crafty activities.   I was excited to hear that  Crayola will have a Grand Opening of the new Crayola Experience, this May 2013. The original 8 crayons will are throwing a birthday bash at the Crayola Experience in Easton, PA to celebrate their 110th birthday.

The new Crayola experience features four floors of new interactive exhibits and one-of-a-kind attractions that will bring the magic of color and your child’s creativity to life!

You can visit the Crayola Facebook page and click “Enter Now” for your chance to be the first in line when the Crayola Experience reopens.  The winner also receives a three night, all-expenses paid stay.

Crayola provided this information to me, and in return for posting I will receive a 110th birthday pack.

New Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips

Posted in News

CombatKillingBaitStrips

Every spring, small black ants enter our house and usually end up in either the bathrooms or kitchen.  I think they are in search of water.  We usually put the small bait traps on the floor and the ant problem is gone within the next week or so.  This year, I am being proactive with Combat Ant Killing Bait strips.

I like these strips, because you peel off the backing and stick them in places where you may have seen ants, like under kitchen counters.  I did find that the bait traps could have used a little bit more adhesive backing, but besides that, it was pretty easy to apply.  I put one under the kitchen counter, and will add more in the next week.

The directions state that for maximum effectiveness, use one at a time in a problem area and replace the strip once the bait has been consumed.  The strips are effective because they are designed to kill the nest and colony, using Fipronil, a fast acting insecticide that begins killing within hours once the insect takes the bait.

The ants have not arrived yet this year, but I am confident their stay will not be long thanks to Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips.

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface review & giveaway

Introducing, new Soft Scrub Advanced Surface gel for your kitchen and bathroom surfaces.  I tried this rinse-free gel to clean my stainless steel sink, using paper towels.  It was gentle and effective at cleaning minor marks and stains in the sink.  It also made the stainless steel shine which is great.  Stainless steel can be a little tricky to clean, but I found the Soft Scrub both easy to use and effective.  The twistable spout made the bottle easy to open and also made the cleaning fluid easy to direct.

SoftScrub Advanced Surface

This all purpose cleaner is effective on granite and marble countertops, glass cooktops, and stainless steel.  There is no rinsing required!  Just apply the product and wipe away with a paper towel or damp cloth or sponge.  If you are looking for a new bathroom or kitchen cleaner, I recommend Soft Scrub Advanced Surface.

Enter below for your chance to win 3 coupons valid on any Soft Scrub product.  One winner will receive three coupons!

Purex recently presented an exciting new fragrance as part of their Natural Elements line, called Tropical Splash.   It features exotic scents, such as pineapple and coconut along with flowers.  When I first used this detergent, the coconut smell was the strongest to me.  Since I love the scent of coconuts, this is my favorite detergent scent yet.  I also appreciate that Purex Tropical Splash packs the cleaning power of Purex with DirtLift Action, to get the tough stains out of my laundry.

My linens came out of the was fresh, bright and very clean.   I really like that this formula is biodegradable, therefore promotes green cleaning practices.   And this detergent offers a great value, at half the price of the leading brand. 

Some additional facts  about Purex Tropical Splash, is this detergent is hypoallergenic & dye free.  It is also optimized for high efficiency machines, as well as traditional.   Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent is available in 50oz ,75oz and 100oz sizes.

I recently had the chance to review Purex plus Fabric Softener with Crystals Fragrance liquid detergent.  This detergent has the stain fighting power that I am used to from Purex, combined with the wonderful scent of Purex Crystals.  After using Purex with Crystals detergent, my laundry smelled fresh and looked bright and clean.  This detergent lifted several difficult food stains from my kid’s clothes.

I always appreciate the affordable price of Purex products.  According to Purex, the average family could save over $45 a year by using Purex with Crystals detergent, versus the leading brand.

New Purex plus Fabric Softener with Crystals Fragrance is available in the liquid detergent aisle at Walmart, Target, Kroger and other Purex retailers.

Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser Review & Giveaway

Posted in Giveaways

Recently, I had the chance to review Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Bath & Kitchen Cleanser.  Upon squeezing the cleanser out from the easy pour cap, I noticed how pleasant the lemon scent was.  It was very light, and not overpowering the way other cleaning products can be.  I applied some of the cleanser throughout my shower area and gently scrubbed, and watched as the product lifted away the soap scum, and made my shower shine.  Please note, the product directions tell you to test the product on a small area first before cleaning large areas.

The Soft Scrub Lemon Cleanser was gentle, and effective.  It is safe to use on many surfaces, from  sinks to showers, to bathtubs and faucets.  It has better whitening power and less residue, for better rinsing.  The formula is improved for superior cleaning power, as well as the new bottle design and cap for improved dispensing.  You can find more about Soft Scrub on their Facebook page, here.

Take a look at the before and after pictures I took of my shower.  This product works great!

Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends Review & Giveaway

Posted in Giveaways
Twitt

 

Recently, I had the opportunity to review Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical Blends.  The cereal contains mango flavored flakes, as well as coconut shavings and coconut flavored granola clusters.  This cereal is unlike any other I have tasted in the past.  At first the fruit flavor was a bit overwhelming, but I got used to it quickly and it is a refreshing change.

Mango flavored flakes & Coconut shavings, Yum!

 

I appreciate that Honey Bunches of Oats Tropical blends has 10g of whole grain, as well as only 120 calories per serving. The fact that there is only 6g of sugar per serving surprised me, because the cereal tasted really sweet.  I think this was because of the natural fruit flavors.  This cereal also contains 9 essential vitamins and minerals including 60% daily value for iron.  This is great for me, because I am trying to bring my iron levels up, and it’s not always easy to accomplish this.  This cereal is also considered Heart Healthy, since it has 0g trans fat, 0mg cholesterol and .5 saturated fat.

I would recommend this cereal for anyone looking for a different breakfast option that tastes great and is still good for you.  This cereal is WIC eligible.
