What's Hot and What's just NOT

Biodegradable Kitchen Trash Bags, 13 Gallon, .70 ml

2008-08-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

I received a nice amount of Biodegradable Kitchen Trash Bags, 13 Gallon, .70 ml from www.freegreencleaners.com
When I read about them, I was very impressed on how great they are for our environment. These bags break down and do not pollute the air or ground. Unfortunately, they do not make the trash inside them break down, but I really did not think that would be possible at this time anyway. However, the idea of all the plastic that takes thousands of years to diminish filling up our landfills is something to be concerned about.

If everyone would use these bags we would be contributing a great deal of support to our environment. I mean they break down and do not pollute our precious resources, "What more can we ask for?"

The test: I used the bags as I normally do any other bag, and there is no difference. They hold a lot and I did not experience any breaks, tears, or leaks with them. The bags come with the twist ties, to seal in the trash. I did not use the ties. I just knotted the end and threw out the trash. I would say that they passed the pre-teen and toddler test as well! Anyone with kids knows exactly what I mean!

Use these bags and help to protect our environment. It is the only one that we have!

Kids and Rainy Days and Crayola Model Magic

2008-07-15T19:43:00.000-07:00

It was a rainy day. My kids were sitting around, ranting about how bored they were. I kept throwing ideas at them on things to keep them busy. Well, it all came back to the Wii. Now I have nothing against the Wii, as a matter of fact it is mine. However, I wanted them to do something other than stare at the TV for hours at a time.

I remembered that I still had some left over stuff from our trip to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. I quickly ran into the closet and pulled out the 8 packs of Crayola Model Magic. I grabbed the Crayola Markers and turned my kitchen table into a world of imagination. Even my 1yr old was entertained and had fun squishing the Modeling Material in her hands.

Crayola Model Magic truly stands up to its No Mess claim. You do not need to cook it in the oven to harden and it is Super Soft to mold. Just pull out the package, mold color and let it air dry to form. Have fun!

My Rating: Great Buy, No Mess, Priced Fair.

Oxi Clean Laundry Stain Remover

2008-07-13T11:23:00.000-07:00

This product was introduced to me by a close friend. I have three "Messy" children. I have been using another brand of spot stain remover for many years. Needles to say, I was not impressed but figured, "Hey they are all the same!" Well, I WAS WRONG. I had to throw away my daughters favorite shirt because it was so stained. While visiting with my friend and her young children, she told me that I should have tried OxiClean spot stain remover before checking it in the trash. I told her that I have used stain remover and it works a bit but you still see the faded stain. She told me that she uses the regular and the baby and it works wonders on her clothes. Stains that she had thought were set in vanished.

I gave it a try I went out and purchased a bottle of my own and was I amazed! It really does work. It took out new stains and old ones. This product really is worth giving a try. I do have to say it will not always get out all stains and you may have to use some good old fashion "elbow grease" but, it gets out stains that other leading products DID NOT!

My Rating: Great Buy

So Many Products

2008-07-11T11:04:00.000-07:00

Life is confusing enough, why add the stress of "Does it work" to the daily grind. I have a passion for products and well have fallen victim to "Marketing." Yes, if it is new and HOT I have tried it. If it has a pretty label I have bought it. Well, now I am all about helping other people not to fall into advertisers traps. I will be posting products that I have tried and have had friends try too! I will give you a rating from me and them as well. Please feel free to let me know how you like and rate products, I am always hunting for the TRUTH!
