When my hubby and I first got married, he had never touched a washing machine. An old 3 cycle top loader was already in our basement when we moved in, so we decided to use that until we were able to get a new machine. Within a few months the machine wasn't working anymore and we decided to get a front loading machine. The old front loader we had included many cycles, but I only used one - the quick cycle. I didn't think it was necessary to use ...

Freshen up a room with Febreze Set & Refresh!
I'm not a fan of many spray air fresheners, cones, or plug ins for a variety of reasons - but the main one is that they do not last as long as they claim, or smell that great after some time. I find that the plug in air fresheners begin to smell like something is burning after a week - when they are suppose to last much longer than that. It was not until I found the Febreze Set & Refresh on sale at my local drugstore last year that I decided ...

Hugo Naturals Baby Products
I never really thought about the chemicals that went into bath essentials until after I got pregnant. I started to hear talk from my co-workers about parabens and preservatives that were in popular bath time products and this got me thinking. If these big companies that have been around for what seems like forever, are willingly putting these dangerous chemicals into baby products, then what else should I know about these companies? This began my ...

Libman Freedom Mop Review
I have a new favorite mop in my home! Let me tell you a brief history about my mopping experience. When I first moved into my first home, I purchased the same mop my mom had along with a bucket. It was only two weeks before this sloppy mop was retired and I was searching for something else. Next, I came across a sponge mop - which lasted for about 6 months before I decided it just wasn't cleaning as well as I expected. I received a "dusting" type ...
