Infants' Advil® & Children's Advil®

Infants' Advil® and Children's Advil®

As many of you know my daughter had Rett syndrome and along with that come many different symptoms, some of which can be painful. We are constantly trying to manage her pain. I just recently switch to Children's Advil to help her better manage her pain, and so far it has worked the best for her. I think Children's Advil is the best to help reduce my children's temperature and help them relieve pain too. If you would like to try Children's Advil you can receive a $1.50 off coupon if you like Children's Advil Facebook page. Remember to read all information on Children's Advil and consult you doctor before giving you or your child any medicine.

20 Mule Team Borax detergent booster review and giveaway

Laundry is part of life. If you want clean clothes and linens then you have to wash them. So how do you make the most of your laundry time?

You get a little help in the laundry room. No I am not asking you to go out and pay someone to come and do your laundry. I am talking about a little help from a chemical that your grandma probably used, Borax. This little natural accruing chemical is strong and can do mighty things.

I add about ½ cup of the powerful 20 Mule Team Borax to my liquid purex in the washer machine. Not only does it eliminate odors, but it's an extra stain fighter as well. With three active kids I need all the help fighting stains I can get. Borax may be strong on stains, but it is also gentle enough to be used on dedicates too. I add ¼ cup borax and 2 tablespoons of my regular liquid delicate detergent.

Did you know Borax can be used in places other than the laundry room. Because it is great at neutralizing odors I add a little power borax and water to my plastic garbage bins to clean and eliminate smells. It is great for getting rid of diaper smells too.

Another place that odors can linger is in the bathroom. I sprinkle ¼ cup borax in my toilet bowl and leave it for 30 minutes then brush it with a toilet brush. Not only does it clean and disinfect the toilet bowl, but my toilet brush is clean as well. You can also use it on porcelain or fiberglass surfaces too.

When I was younger I thought I would never be like my grandmother, but here I am using the same detergent booster that she use, borax. I guess my grandma knew more than I thought she did; at least more when it came to laundry.

Check out their website to learn more uses for 20 Mule Team Borax.

Did you know 20 Mule Team Borax is also formulated to work in both traditional and High Efficiency (HE) washers.

My favorite Jeans: Old Navy

My Favorite pair of jeans are my Old Navy sweetheart cut. They are so comfortable and fit just right for my curves. They fit just right even with my fuller thighs. They make me feel pretty and flirty with my husband. Maybe that is why we have three kids. LOL

I also have a pair of Old Navy "flirt" cut jeans. They are really comfortable too but they sit a little to low on me and when I bend down, watch out if my shirt is not long enough (plummer butt).

Old Navy jeans also go great with any shirt or blouse. They also are not to light, but also not to dark either.

I am only 5'2", so it is hard to find a pair of jeans that not only fit great, but are also not to long either. Old Navy has the options of a long, regular or short cut (I wear a "short" cut jeans).

I am only 5'2", so it is hard to find a pair of jeans that not only fit great, but are also not to long too. Old Navy has the options of a long, regular or short cut (I wear a "short" cut jeans).

So why Old Navy brand jeans? I have learned, trends come and trends go. It is just not worth the time or money to figure out what is going to be stylish this year and what will be stylish next year. I try to keep clothes in a timeless style. I want clothes I can wear for a few years without feeling they are out of date and that is just what Old Navy jeans do for me.

I do try to add a few clothes each season from the new style, but I never go too far. I have not added skinny jeans, they only add weight to you and I do not need to add any more weight to myself. I try to only add new styles to enhance my look.

I would be nice if my jeans never faded or rip and all my jeans will fit me perfectly. If there were no "skinny" jeans or "these jeans will fits me someday" jeans. But until then Old Navy is the closest I can get to that idea.

Purex baby detergent review and giveaway

My Little Man is no longer a baby, but I have to admit I sometime long for the wonderful baby smell. Now he is a toddler and smells of dirt and food. Babies smell so good, isn't that why some people when they are holding a baby will take a deep breath in of that beautiful baby smell.

Now Purex as capture some of that smell in a bottle, Purex baby. It may be made specially for babies, but it is good for anyone that loves that baby fresh smell. Pure baby detergent had the same great cleaning power you have come to know from Purex and yet it is sensitive on baby's skin too.

Purex baby is gentle on baby's skin. Tough on baby's messes.
Hypoallergenic
Dermatologist-tested formula
bright, white clean with a gentle baby inspired fragrance

Just like all of Purex’s current detergents their new Triple Action has been formulated to work in both traditional and High Efficiency (HE) washers. Purex will work with both top and side loading washer machines.

Since my family has sensitive skin we choose Pure baby. Purex free and clear has a fresh clean scent without the heavy perfume smell because it contains no perfumes or dyes. It is ideal for people with sensitive skin. I like Purex free and clear l because it leaves my laundry smelling fresh and clean as a baby's butt.

I highly recommend making the switch to Purex laundry detergent. I know my family and I are glad we made the switch.

Now for what you have been waiting for....

Closed the winners are Kathy, Diana and Janet

The giveaway is for Three different (3) winners

Your Prize Pack will contain:

Old Navy Active-wear

It is a new year and it is time to stop putting off your weight loss goal. If not having the perfect outfit to work out in is what has been stopping you from working out, Old Navy has the outfit for you. Old Navy has a huge stylish selection of Active-wear for you to choose from.

Since I love shopping at Old Navy for the hottest new trends, why not go there for my Active-wear needs too. Old Navy’s selection of Active-wear this season is more stylish that ever! There are so many styles to choose from.

First, I took a look at the Active Wear at Old Navy's website to see what I thought might fit my style.

Going shopping with a friends is more fun so I grabbed a gal pal and headed over to Old Navy to pick out our favorite Active-wear outfit.

We grabbed some of our favorite Active-wear outfits and took them to the dressing room to try them on. You can choose from Old Navy Active wear pull over or jackets. The Old Navy Women's Active Compression Jackets have Thumb holes at the cuffs,breathable mesh panels at sides and back and Reflective tape at back of neck. They are also made of smooth quick

-drying tricot fabric with added stretch designed for peak active performance.

We even wanted to see how Old Navy Active-wear would stand up to our work out routine so we tried jumping rope while wearing them. We also tried lifting some small weights while we wore our work out clothes. Their Active-wear was put to the test, and it passed with flying colors. Each outfit we tried was breathable and stretched to make our workout more comfortable.

As for Old Navy pants you have a huge selection to choose. If you are like me and under 5"3, you many want to go with an Old Navy Active-wear Capri. This way you do not trip over your pants, as you work out. Whether you go for pants or Capris you will still have many different styles to choose from.

I really like these Old Navy Women's Active Tie-Waist Bubble Tanks. They are so comfortable and come in different colors. They are great for women like me that have a little extra around their mid-section. They are made of lightweight moisture-wicking tricot that is designed to help keep you cool during your workout.

This is the Active wear outfits that my friend and I decided to add to our workout wardrobe. For my pants I went with Old Navy's Women's Active Color-Block Compression Capris in Ultraviolet. They have a nice light fit throughout my hips and thighs making me feel slimmer.

Now we have some of the hottest new style in Active-wear to keep us styling as we lose pounds and get fit.

Disclamer: As a Member of Crowdtap I am so excited to be able to answer questions about what I think of upcoming styles. My friends and I received a free pair of shorts courteous of Old Navy through crowdtap. However the opinions expressed here are my own.
