Purex baby crystals Giveaway

Oh baby...take 2!

Purex Baby Crystals

I love the way babies smell.  I think its usually the lotion.  I love the way baby laundry smells too!  Purex has just come out with a new product in the purex crystals line that is developed to be gentle for babies' skin.  Its 87% natural and goes in at the start of the wash...so you don't have to waste time waiting to add it in and it spends more time with your babies clothes to make them smell fresher longer.  It is safe for ALL clothes...even sleepwear.  I was given a bottle to try and share my opinions.....I think it smells GREAT!

Even though my "babies" are getting bigger, I am still going to wash their blankets with this fun softener for the smell of it. Then when they want to snuggle, I can still pretend they are my little babies!  :-)


You can win one too!  Fill out this form and GOOD LUCK!

Book of Mormon stories that my iPad tells to me

Book of Mormon stories that my iPad tells to me...

I guess the song has been rewritten by the people down at Grandin Press.

They have taken all the old Stories from the Book of Mormon readers that we all grew up with and have given them a facelift!  They are all digital now and they include a "read to me" feature. This is my 4 year old's favorite way to "read her scriptures."

Originally published in hard cover from 1978 to 1994, the bestselling Illustrated Stories from the Book of Mormon are now available for handheld devices. No other illustrated work is as complete or as advanced. The set of 32 eBooks now includes read-aloud audio, highlighted full text of the Book of Mormon, and easy-to-use interactive controls.

• 1,700+ pages
• 1,100+ illustrations
• 8+ hours of dramatized audio
• Full text of The Book of Mormon   
 

They are so fun and bring the scriptures to life with the narrative and pictures.  These truly are for the rising generation!  

Once you download them, they will be stored in iBooks and you can choose one to read from the bookshelf.  My 4 year old has no trouble navigating her way through iBooks and loves to "read her scriptures."  I am also super excited to share these fun stories with my primary kids.  Its also a great and super quick Family Home Evening idea!  Just pick a story and push play!

I am super excited to share a special promotion going on right now!  If you use the code REIDHEAD, you will be able to get the ENTIRE set for $30 off!  YEAH!  That's a huge discount!  And since it's digital, the whole set won't break the bank OR your back (trying to carry the paper books around, lol).  This special price will only be good through MARCH 31st!  (What a great use for some of your tax return!)  Check it out at http://www.grandinpress.com/illustrated-book-of-mormon-stories/  and use the promo code REIDHEAD

AND if that's not enough, They are going to give away a complete set to a LUCKY reader...  THATS RIGHT!  And if we get enough entries, there will be MORE sets to give away (up to a possibility of 3 complete sets!)  Share this with your friends and family members!  The more entries, the more that we can give away!

Tough as a Mule team

Have you ever heard of 20 Mule Team Borax?  Its a big deal!  There are LOTS of crafty things on pinterest that you can do with BORAX!  

Borax Laundry booster

Just some of the fun things are: 
Borax crystal snowflakes
Borax Bouncy Balls
Crystal Hearts
Borax slime
and get rid of ants


I have a bunch of these fun projects on my to do list!

BUT.....Crafty things was not its original purpose!

Its ACTUALLY a 100% natural mineral from the earth.  Once its taken from the ground, its washed, dried and boxed to be sold.  The common name for BORAX is sodium tetraborate (a naturally occurring substance produced by the perpetual evaporation of seasonal lakes).  There is nothing added!

It also is a natural water softener...who knew!  When you add a 1/2 cup of borax to your laundry, along with your regular purex laundry soap, it will improve the soaps cleaning power and help keep stains from being re-deposited back onto clothes!  What a great laundry booster!

I have been using this for years!  I LOVE the way it makes my clothes feel.  I also feel that when I do add it to the load of laundry that the clothes get cleaner.  I will usually add it to the extra grubby clothes to give it the extra kick! 

20 Mule Team Borax' website has great cleaning tips too!

The Borax - Fresh Year, Fresher Laundry Facebook Sweepstakes is underway.  That means you can enter to win the $1,500 Grand Prize, or one of 171 coupons for FREE BORAX! You can sign up once a day until February 22nd, 2013!

I also have some free boxes to give away!

Ohh Baby! Purex

Oooh baby!  

Purex has just come out with a new line of laundry soap.  It is specially designed for babies.  It has the same great cleaning power of purex, but is hypoallergenic safe for babies and infants (or anyone, really).  It has the triple action cleaning that is expected with purex.

Purex Baby Detergent

It has a slight fragrance....I think its baby powder, but its not super strong smelling.

The toughest stain that I ever had to battle with my babies was the infamous "BLOW OUT."  It would go up the back and down the legs of the sleeper.  (*I will spare you the pictures, lol*)

The second messiest was dinner time! 

Here is my tribute to messy meals from our house!

 Katelyn..the messy eater!

Aubrey the cake smasher!

 Rachel has a messy face!  Its in her hair too!

This purex is made especially for babies.  Its gentle for them, but tough on stains.  It will get out the tough stains, but still is hypoallergenic.  It also works on delicate cute baby clothes!

If you have a cute baby, grandbaby, niece, nephew, or wish you had a cute baby, you can win your own free bottle of purex baby!

Oral-B is my new BFF!

I must confess....I HATE THE DENTIST!  I hate everything that goes along with the dentist!  I hate the drilling, the scraping,  the "oops I drilled too far and now you need a root canal, sorry!"  Needless to say, I generally HATE everything to do with it all!    Enter my new BFF~....the Oral-B Professional Precision 5000. 

I have always brushed my teeth 2 times a day (flossing is another story, though).  But this toothbrush is really the Cadillac of all toothbrushes.  I feel like a rockstar with my fancy pants toothbrush.  It has a wireless Smart Guide that gives you real-time feedback on your brushing. (If your brushing too hard, it turns red and makes a frowny face).  One of my favorite features is that it does a special vibrate at the end of every 30 seconds (1 vibrate after the first, 2 after the second, etc) so you know how long you have brushed and how much more you have to go.  I think it makes my 2 minutes go by super fast!   

  

This one doesn't just vibrate, it pulsates to break up plaque and oscillates and rotates to sweep plaque away  With up to 50% more brush movements than leading sonic technology.  This is rechargeable too and each charge lasts a little over a week.  The toothbrush is really strong and powerful right off the charger, and after a week, you will want to throw it back on to get that super power clean.

 

This has gotten my teeth SO much cleaner since I have used it for a little over 2 weeks (2 times a day).  I can feel the difference!  (Maybe I can ditch the dentist all together now!  LOL!)

From now until December 31, Oral-B is offering a mail-in rebate. (Oral-B is offering a $20 mail-in rebate on select power toothbrushes November 18  through December 31, 2012. Please visit OralB.com for more information)

Check out the Oral-B website, Twitter and Facebook for all the latest!

The box includes:   

•  Travel case
•  Wireless SmartGuide™
•  Family toothbrush head holder
•  Small footprint charging station
•  Toothbrush

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Modern Mom on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review...BUT ALL OPINIONS....and scary DENTIST stories (yeah, the one about him drilling too far and needing a root canal is true) are MY OWN.....!
