I am so far behind on things around here that I have just almost caught back up to myself. I have to tell you something!! I went outside this morning and it was actually cool. I am so excited. That means that Fall weather is on it’s way. The air here has been so hot and heavy with humidity for so long now that I forgot what it felt like to take in a deep breath and it feel refreshing. Better than applying for medical assistant school. I thought about that once, applying to go to medical school. Then I came to my senses and realized that I really wasn’t the type of person who would do well with other people yelling at me while running on a very limited amount of sleep.

Anyway, on to the winner:

Melanie

The Bathroom from Hades and a couple of Winners

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!

The winner of the Kroger giftcard:

The winner of the Rubbermaid Reveal Mop:

Emma Horton

I have been working on painting my bathroom this week. Yes, I said week. What should take normal people approx. 1 day is taking me forever. It is getting quiet comical because anytime anyone calls they ask what I am doing and I tell them painting the bathroom the stock response is now “STILL?” Yes, still. Ok, I am going to cross my fingers and hope that my Mother isn’t reading today…

When my house was my Mother’s house and her house was my house  she painted the bathroom this really dark blue. Who knows why, a good daughter doesn’t ask these things, she just did. So, now I am painting over a really dark yet bright blue. And it takes awhile. and I paint slow. And I started out all gungho, but I lost my gumption and get up and go somewhere along the way. I want to be able to snap my fingers and it be done…or I want Bric to help. Bric is the best painter I have ever seen but he hates to paint and he has been super busy this week. I did con Stephanie (my niece) into helping out for a couple of hours one evening but now she has gone back to college. Erin (my daughter) has gone back to college. Tate (my son) is a messy, messy painter and I would just rather not have his help than have to do it all over and fix messes. Marissa (friend of the girls who lives with us) is also reported to be a horrible painter. So, it is just me. I will go paint for a bit and then work on one of the other 50,000 things I need to get done and perhaps by the end of the week I might at least almost be done.

Meanwhile, I want an iPhone with the iphone warranty. I never really thought I wanted one but I have finally decided to get with the times and at least think about it. I know in the long run I would be pleased. It is just taking that initial jump. That and I am not up for an upgrade anytime soon and I hate the thoughts of shelling out that much for a phone.

So, now you know what is going on in my world, how are things in yours?

Organic Bug Control with EcoSMART Giveaway!!

I have told you about EcoSMART before. It is one of my favorite eco-friendly companies! I have used many of their products and am always very pleased. EcoSMART was the first company to apply modern science to essential plant oils — creating the first 100% safe pesticides. Their products are based on the natural defenses that plants and trees have used for their self protection against insects and pathogens for millenia – essential oils.

So, this summer as my fruit trees were bursting with all kinds of wonderful treasures to go in my belly and in my freezer I went out to find that they were already covered in worms. Eeeeekkkk! That just wouldn’t do. I couldn’t let the worms have all my fruit. I just couldn’t. So, I turned to EcoSMART Garden Insect Killer. It works instantly, is totally environmentally safe. You can even use the insect killer and harvest your fruit on the same day…because it isn’t harmful at all, it’s just a great organic bug control

garden insect killerAnother product that we use constantly is the EcoSMART Insect Repellent for personal use. This summer Erin has been working as a park ranger at our local lake. BUG CITY! She carries and uses the insect repellent every day. Some of the other park rangers have commented on how she never gets bug bites and when she showed them what she uses and told them why, they have all started using it as well. Their natural bug spray is safe to use on you and your children!

Keeps bugs away for hours and is safe for the entire family. We don’t use DEET or other synthetic chemicals -our powerful, all-natural formula is made from organic plant oils, and repels mosquitoes, ticks, gnats and other annoying pests for hours.

Hanes Comfort Flex

This summer, just in time for back-to-school, Hanes, America’s No. 1 Men’s Underwear Brand, announced its latest comfort innovation: the Comfort Flex Waistband.  Designed to fit comfortably no matter the movement, the new product offers a softer, more-stretchable waistband that comfortably shifts without pinching or binding.  The new feature is available on all Hanes briefs, boxers and boxer brief products.

Boxers with Comfort Flex

As a wife and mother to a son, I hear all the time about the differences in underwear. While it is something that I could normally live without hearing and it can sometimes be a little too much information, I do want my guys to be comfortable all day. The only brand of underwear, t-shits and socks that we buy is Hanes. The reasons? Well, they are more comfortable than competitors, they last longer, they don’t loose their shape and they are affordable.

Hanes Comfort Flex

The latest Hanes offering underscores the brand’s continued commitment to delivering products that result in a more comfortable experience. Extensive consumer research conducted by Hanes reveals that the no. 1 concern for men regarding underwear bottoms is uncomfortable waistbands that pinch or bind.  Hanes Comfort Flex Waistband was created to address these issues by maintaining a superior fit that stays in place all day.

What did my guys think of the new Hanes Comfort Flex waistband? They are all in agreement that the Comfort Flex waistbands provides superior comfort all day! They love them. As a matter of fact Tate asked if I could please go get all new boxer-briefs with the comfort flex waistbands to replace all of his others. He seriously liked it that much. Once Bric heard what Tate had asked, he was in agreement and wanted the same for himself. So, I think Hanes has done it again! HOMERUN!!

“Hanes strives to provide superior comfort across all product categories,” said Sidney Falken, senior vice president, Hanes brand.  ”Our continuous stream of new innovations creates clothes that help people feel great, which is why we are excited to introduce the Hanes Comfort Flex waistband.  We take great pride in the fact that we listen to what consumers have to say about apparel and, as a result, create products with features that address issues they have expressed.”

Additionally, beginning this year, all Hanes products will carry the Comfort Guarantee seal, which reinforces the brand’s commitment to superior comfort with a money-back guarantee. Visit www.hanes.com to purchase products online or to view frequent deals and sales ( I know they have a great deal on socks this week!).  Additionally, you can check out all that is new with Hanes on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hanes.
