Nudge your kids with a Nudge Tee that is! So, what has your child accomplished on their own? Brushing their teeth? Making their Bed? Feeding an animal? Reading or writing? Celebrate with them! For $20.00 you can praise their efforts, and by wearing one of these tees they can let everyone else know of their good doings!
Guess what! They have them in adult sizes also! If your husband’s like mine and doesn’t like washing dishes. Get him a shirt that says “I wash dishes”! lol……! I Love You, Honey!
My Review:
Here’s the shirt my daughter received from Nudge Tees.
Granted we are still working on this, but she’s getting better. I would have shown my daughter in her new shirt Nudge Tee shirts as my daughter achieves more accomplishments. I love these shirts and what they do to boost my child ego.

Have you started your spring cleaning yet? Did Easter gifts put you in the mood to purge? My spring cleaning seems to be ongoing. We’ve done most of the closets – sorting, purging, organizing and packing things away. The garage was started but it’s far from being done. I did get brave and packed up some winter things, not all, after all we are still getting frost. Who knows if we could get another snowfall. This is Chicago.
This week I decided it was time to go through our bathroom medicine cabinet. We do not have a lot in our medicine cabinet, but since it has been several months since we moved, I thought it was time to see what was really lurking behind those doors. We have three sections in our medicine cabinet. One side is mine, the middle is for family and the right side is my husband’s.
My Side of the Medicine Cabinet
The Middle
The middle side has scissors, band aids and thermometers. Pretty bare…
My Husband’s Side
Hmmmm…..what’s down there in the right-hand corner?
I found some interesting dates on some peridontal stuff called Peroxyl, also a Colgate product, in my husband’s side of our medicine cabinet. As I was going through the cabinet my four year old and 20 month old jibber jabbered away at me.
Take a look at these dates, if you look closely enough you can see they are from 2007 and 2009. I had no idea they were that old, neither did my husband.
Look closely at the edge
I promptly threw them into the garbage can.
I found Ibuprofen that is still good ’til 2013 and ear drops good thru 2014.
We definitely had toothbrushes that needed replacing. My youngest daughter, Blondie and I went shopping at Walmart and bought the Colgate Nickelodeon toothbrushes by Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants. Perfect for our younger children. You can see more of our shopping trip on Google+.
Oral hygiene is important to our family especially since my husband suffered from gum disease several years ago. Let’s just say he’s very good at giving the children reason to brush their teeth!

Happy Spring Cleaning!

STOP BUYING BOTTLED WATER!!! ZeroWater is here to help save the Earth with it’s water filtration system. ZeroWater has a “patented 5-stage water filter system and is the only system certified to meet the Food & Drug Administration’s standards for Purified Bottle Water.”
Let’s talk water and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) – TDS is the substances in your water that make it “taste salty, bitter or metallic.” I live in the Northeast and have well water.
I used the TDS water meter provided
I tested our tap water and here’s the results.
That meter reads 126 as the glass stood there for a few minutes it went up to 129. Which in my area of the world is normal for tap water. Most of the US falls into the 051-200 meter reading. The ZeroWater filter will produce about 24 to 40 gallons of water for my area. As the meter reading rises the gallons of water reduces, because the filter has more substances to clean.
I buy bottled water for my family to drink. If I drink my current tap water from the faucet, frankly it tastes like dirt. I’ve tried other filtration devices and they haven’t worked.
Here’s what happened to the meter when I put my tap water through the filter.
The meter dropped to 001! WOW!
For the heck of it – I tried bottled water.
That one was 046!
The Pitcher -
It fits well in the fridge, has a place on the lid to put the TDS meter and a little spout on the bottom. I don’t even need to take the pitcher out of the fridge! My only concern in the future would be a leak from the spout. So, far all is well an no leaks! Hooray!
The Taste – It improved my water taste tremendously! No more dirt water and I can finally stop buying bottled water! ZeroWater recommends that you change your filter when you TDS meter reads 006.

My Review – Great product. As I said earlier my water tasted terrible. With the ZeroWater Pitcher, I don’t have to buy bottled water anymore! I can save money and the environment!
Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.
“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of ZeroWater and received a water pitcher to facilitate my review, two pitchers to giveaway, and extra filters to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
There’s a giveaway! No, wait there’s 2 GIVEAWAYS!!!
I had a friend of mine sent me an email about preventing mold on berries. Not sure if it works, fresh berries don’t stay in our house very long. They are usually gone before any molding sets in. Here’s the tip:
Prepare a mixture of one part white or apple cider vinegar and ten parts water. Put the berries in the mixture swirl them around. Drain, rinse (if desired) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the fruit.
I can see how the vinegar would kill the mold, it works great as household cleaner.

KitchenKuffs is a great product designed to keep your sleeves out of the way of everyday tasks! I was very excited when I received my KitchenKuffs…I can honestly say that this product has so many uses! Basically the product slips over your sleeves near the wrist area and helps keep your sleeves out of the way of dirt, grime, water, muck…etc. No more continual pushing sleeves up after they slide down…KitchenKuffs keep them up!
I have used KitchenKuffs around the house in so many capacities…especially cooking and washing dishes… they have been invaluable in these two tasks! Once the weather gets warmer I cannot wait to use them while I garden and put up preserves and vegetables in the fall!
I received two pairs, a medium size and an adjustable size. When you visit the website they have a fitting guide so you know which ones to order! When in doubt order the adjustable!
I used the adjustable ones and actually gave the second pair (medium) to my mother. My mom owns an ice cream stand and when I showed them to her she was practically begging me to let her try a pair…so of course I did. She was so excited about how they worked. She usually uses a rubber band to keep her sleeves up when she works serving ice cream and now she has a more comfortable, more fashionable way to keep her sleeves up. Mom also said that she liked that if they got dirty she only had to wash the KitchenKuffs and not her whole jacket!
What a Myriad of uses …KitchenKuffs come in handy in work, play and everyday!
In case you haven’t already heard, Reader’s Digest is coming out with 13 Top Secret Cleaning Techniques From Housekeepers and I actually learned a couple of new and interesting things. I will say that lemon juice and baking soda are good for tough stains on counters, toilets and sinks, but may leave a baking soda residue depending on how much you use – I haven’t quite got the portion thing down yet.
Granted we are still working on this, but she’s getting better. I would have shown my daughter in her new shirt Nudge Tee shirts as my daughter achieves more accomplishments. I love these shirts and what they do to boost my child ego.
Hope many of you join in on the fun!
