Mercier_AMP_quad_gamma

We just cleaned out at least 20 bags of trash and donated items from our small little house.  We are trying to get ready for baby and in doing that we had to switch out our bedrooms.  Needless to say we found a lot of trash and clothing that could be donated that we no longer needed.  I also went through TJ's old clothes that we saved and sorted out the ones that could be used for a girl and … [Read more...]


Seventh Generation Laundry – Live Like the Lorax

laundry_4XLorax2_free-clear_0

Going green is so simple these days. Being green no longer means granola and tasteless food. Now there are amazing products on the market that can reduce your carbon footprint without sacrificing quality and there is no need to pay an arm and leg for them. Which is a good thing because I never dreamed that I would be doing as much laundry as I am doing right now as a mom trying to potty train her … [Read more...]


Brother P-Touch Label Maker Final Thoughts

It has been several months now that I have tested out the Brother P-Touch Label maker.  I started out with a durability test in August that highlighted how strong the labels are.  I put the labels through several tests to determine the strength, and was amazed by what I found.  This past January, I shared my storage room makeover with all of my fancy labels on my shelves.  I now have an … [Read more...]


My Storage Room Organization Project With My Brother P-Touch

Brother P-Touch Label Maker

I have been known to be a little of a pack rat.  I am not one of those hoarders that you see on television, but I have a lot of little things that I use for crafts or baking or things that I want to keep in case I need them.  This probably wouldn't be a problem except for that we live in a very small house and storage space is at a premium.  My husband tries really hard to get me to throw away … [Read more...]

How to Deal With Laundry Troubles – #WhirlpoolMoms

Whirlpool Duet

I can only speak for myself when it comes to laundry, but I have been there so many times.  The place where the stains just won't come out, or you accidentally leave a lip gloss in your pocket and it comes out all over your clothes (I have done this more times than I can count).  So what is a person to do? Whirlpool is here to help with some troubleshooting when it comes to pesky stains.  Here … [Read more...]


Scotch-Brite Botanical Disinfecting Wipes Review and Giveaway

Going back to school is an important time for our family.  I return to my classroom,  TJ returns to daycare and we all hope that we remain healthy with all the germs floating around us.  My first year of teaching I got twice as many sick days as teachers past their first year.  I didn't understand that at the time, but I soon realized why.  I used all of those sick days my first year!  Germs … [Read more...]


Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer – The Second Month – #whirlpoolmoms

Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer

I am still amazed at how much I love my new Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer.  I thought that after a full month of using it, the novelty would wear off and it would go back to washing clothes as usual.  But, that is not the case.  I still get excited every time I pass by the laundry room and catch a glimpse of the silver spaceships (as my son and husband like to call them).  I continue to be … [Read more...]
