Anyone with a teenage son knows how they can destroy a bathroom.  I don’t know why, but my son’s idea of clean and mine are completely different.  That’s why I decided to test drive the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care in my son’s bathroom.  Not only did the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care keep the bathroom fresh smelling, the toilet stayed much cleaner between cleanings.  AND I didn’t have to nag my son as much to clean the toilet.

I’ve tried other toilet cleaners before, but I’ve not liked the blue water or the overpowering scents.  Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care has a very subtle scent and remains clear in the toilet bowl.  In addition, it’s really easy to use.  All you do is hang it on the rim of your toilet bowl to prevent future stain buildup, fight toilet rings, and keep the toilet clean.  Every time the toilet is flushed, the water in the toilet activates the Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care and you get a cleaner and fresher toilet.

In addition, the price of Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care can’t be beat.  At less than $2.00, this is a great bargain.  I will definitely be buying Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care in the future.

If you have kids you know how difficult it is to get them to eat healthy foods, especially when they are teenagers.  I work with teenage boys and I’m appalled at some of their eating habits.  Although the residence provides healthier foods like wheat bread as opposed to white bread, the kids will usually choose to eat less healthy foods if given the chance.

When Barbara’s Bakery contacted me about doing a review of their cereals,  I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to experiment on my students.  I wanted to find out if I could get the boys to like something they thought was “gross” just because it wasn’t something they hadn’t tried before and was healthy.  The students taste tested three different kinds of Barbara’s cereals: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Puffins, Flax and Granola, and High Fiber Cranberry.

My students love test driving new stuff for me, but I wasn’t sure how open they would be to Barbara’s cereals.   I told them they were going to be trying three different cereals, and they got excited – until they saw the boxes.  One kid even exclaimed, “What the heck is that, Miss?”  I was definitely pushing the envelope here!  No tiger, no Leprechaun, no silly toucan.  OMG!

Eight of the eleven boys agreed to try at least one of the cereals, and as they started eating them, and saying how good they were, the rest followed suit.  I thought for sure the kids would love the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Puffins cereal the best, but I was surprised to learn their top pick was the High Fiber Cranberry cereal.  One student even said it tasted like Fruit Roll Ups, which is VERY high praise for a teenager.

When we talked about their experiences tasting Barbara’s cereals afterwards, most said they were surprised at how good the products were and how they would like to eat them again.  A few of the boys admitted that they wouldn’t have tried the cereals at all on their own because “it looked gross” but were glad they had tried it and would like to eat more. (“With milk this time, please!”)

One of the things I hate about using plastic trash bags is that they aren’t very green; however, using anything except plastic is a dirty, smelly alternative.  When I was contacted and ask to do a review on Harmonyx trash bags I agreed because these are made out of 50% recycled materials.  This seemed like the best of both worlds to me!

I’ve been using Harmonyx trash bags for many weeks now and I’m loving how they work.  Not only are they really strong – 40 pounds of cat poop and they don’t break – they keep the smell at bay.  Harmonyx trash bags are coated with Microban which inhibits the growth of bacteria that make garbage smell bad.

Another thing I like about these trash bags is the price.  You can get the regular 13 gallon kitchen bags for less than $.15 cents each! That’s a lot less than the name brand trash bags you find in the grocery store.  Plus, those bags aren’t made with recycled materials.

If you want to be greener and save money at the same time, I highly recommend you give Harmonyx trash bags a try.  You can also enter to win a canister of Harmonyx trash bags below:

Air Walker Bounce Castle Giveaway

Brought to you by Blast Zone

Product Description: The Blast Zone Air Walker Bounce Castle provides bouncing fun for up to three kids, and is fully enclosed by heavy-duty netting to ensure safety.

Within a few short minutes of opening the box, your Air Walker kid’s outdoor inflatable bouncer is ready to use. The included fan provides constant airflow into the bouncing castle while your kids bounce away. The BlastZone.com Air Walker Bounce Castle stores easily in the included bag.

Blast Zone uses reinforced construction, and commercial vinyl bounce surfaces for extended durability. Impact zones are double and quadruple reinforced.

Bounce houses are not just for kids!  We had one at our Memorial Day party two years ago, and the adults ended up kicking the kids out at one point.  Believe it or not, alcohol wasn’t involved, either!  (We just didn’t want to squish the kids.)  We were laughing so hard, we all ended up in a big pile in the middle of the house and couldn’t crawl out.  That, of course, made us laugh even harder.

If you would like to try winning your very own bounce house, enter to win below.

Warmer weather means a craving for burgers in my house!  It also  means more hours spent outside in the garden, at the park, and on the ball field.  And the more time we spend outside, the less we feel like coming home and cooking.  That’s where Red Robin’s new Spring Menu comes in.

I was really excited about Red Robin’s new spring menu, so when I was contacted and asked to do a review on some of the new items I didn’t hesitate to accept.  Not only has Red Robin  added a few more menu items like cheesecake with fresh strawberries and red velvet cake (OMG!), they’ve revamped a couple of  old favorites as well.

Hubby and I decided to try a bunch of the new appetizers as well as digging into our favorite yummy burgers.  There were way too many new things to try and it was so hard to make my decision.  Hubby and I finally decided to try:

•  Yukon Chips & French Onion Dip – A new chip and dip combo sure to please those looking for some crunch, these freshly made Yukon kettle chips are served warm with creamy French onion dip.
• The O-Ring Shorty – A new, shorter version of Red Robin’s famous onion ring tower – the perfect preface to a burger.
• Classic Mini Wedge Salad – This new appetizer includes savory Bleu cheese crumbles, bacon bits, onion straws, diced tomatoes and ranch.

All three of these appetizers were just $5 or less, and I thought that was an EXCELLENT bargain.  The bargain part ended with the price, though, because there was nothing skimpy about the ingredients or the taste of all three of my choices.  Each appetizer was delicious and a perfect prelude to my burger.

Although I would have loved to have tried the new red velvet cake, I was so stuffed from appetizers and burger I was afraid I would need elastic waist pants for the rest of my life.

 If you haven’t yet been to Red Robin to check out their new menu items, I highly recommend that you do.  You won’t be disappointed!  For more information on the spring items or to find the restaurant location nearest you, visit www.redrobin.com.
