Dawn Power Clean Challenge

May 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment
dawnpowerclean

I used to live in a house that had no dishwasher. Now, when you're in the kitchen doing dishes for a solid hour each day, you want a hardcore, heavy duty dish soap that will do its part to get your dishes clean! I've been a Dawn fan for a while (I love Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay!), and I was excited to try out their Power Clean dish soap! I love to bake, but I hate that it always results in having to soak your bakeware overnight before you are actually able to wash it. It happens with lots of dishes --- lasagna pans, cookie sheets, pizza stones, crock pots, etc. My favorite meal is bbq pulled pork in the crock pot, but I rarely make it because it creates such a mess! After 12+ hours on low, a crock pot can really get grody, and I always had to soak it overnight before I could wash it the next day. With Dawn’s line of power products, you can get the amazing power of an overnight soak in just five minutes. These products cut grease and dissolve tough foods on your everyday … [Read more...]

Kolcraft Recall: Tender Vibes & Light Vibes Bassinet

May 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
kolcraft

As a Kolcraft Mom, I want to make sure to bring you this important safety information: Kolcraft in cooperation with the CPSC has voluntarily recalled certain models of the Tender Vibes & Light Vibes Bassinet: KB021-ARC, KB022-VER, KB039-CMR1, KB043-BNT1. The latches that attach the bassinet base onto the metal frame can appear to be locked in place while remaining unlocked. This allows the bassinet to become detached from the metal frame, causing the bassinet to fall. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bassinets and contact Kolcraft to receive a repair kit & instructions for securing the latches to the metal frame. In the meantime, parents are urged to find an alternate, safe sleeping environment for the child, such as a crib that meets current safety standards. To order your retrofit kit, contact Kolcraft at 888-624-1908. If you are outside of the USA please call 910-944-9345. You can also email Kolcraft atcustomerservice@kolcraft.com … [Read more...]

Top Ten Tips for Visiting Disney World

May 8, 2012 By 2 Comments

So you're planning a trip to "The World", are you? Don't know where to start? That's ok! You gotta start somewhere, so here are the Top Ten Tips for Visiting Disney World! 1. Get a Dining Plan. I can't stress this one enough. You're gonna have to eat while you're there, right? So why not have it paid for ahead of time? There's nothing better than walking out of a 5 star restaurant with a belly full of amazing food and not paying a bill! There's so many promotions out there that you can take advantage of for FREE dining plans, too! If you travel within certain dates, you could pick up your dining plan at no cost. 2. Stay at a Disney World Resort. This is another biggie. Some people think that they can't afford to stay on Disney property. Ok, let me lay it out for ya: If you stay off property, you're going to have to drive. A lot. How are you getting to the World from the airport? Taxi? If you stay at a Disney resort, you can ride the Magic Express for free! They'll even deal with … [Read more...]

The Little Book of Diet Help — Tricks to Help You Lose the Weight!

May 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
littlebookofdiethelp

Kimberly Willis describes her new book, The Little Book of Diet Help, as a "portable diet coach" that not only works with your lifestyle, but can help you shed the pounds that you've been accumulating. Kimberly focuses on finding the "food/mood" connection --- learning what emotions trigger your eating, and how to handle them. For example, "If it’s an emotional craving – rub the area under your nose and above your top lip for a minute or two. This is a soothing acupressure point." Or for sugar cravings, you just  rub the cartilage at the front of your ear between your thumb and first finger for a minute or two. How cool! I am a big fan of accupressure, and I will totally be trying this out when I feel stressed and want to eat an entire cake. Oh yes. It's happened. Another great point? Never totally BAN a certain food from your house. If a food is totally off limits, you're just setting yourself up for failure! You're eventually going to want some, then eat some, then … [Read more...]
