Wet-Nap Hand Wipes Go from Garden to Kitchen in a Snap #ShowUsYourMess #PMedia #Ad

July 28, 2014 by 1,688 Comments

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV”

Wet-Nap-Wipes #ShowUsYourMess

My family has FINALLY grown a successful, albeit small, garden.  I loved planning and planting and watching my baby seedlings grow into mature plants producing vegetables and feeding my family.  It’s really therapeutic.  It’s also really dirty!!  Thankfully, I recently discovered Wet-Nap Hand Wipes at my local Walmart!

tomatoes and lettuce

There are times when I run out to pick some veggies JUST for fixing dinner.  On a busy evening, I need to be able to pick, clean the veggies and cook all in quick order.  Wet-Nap Hand Wipes help me do just that.  They are thick enough that they do a great job of removing dirt without tearing.  They also offer antibacterial wipes that will remove germs along with the dirt.  So I can quickly go from garden to kitchen in a snap.

I found Wet-Nap hand wipes in the soap aisle of Walmart.  In some stores they may be found in the aisle with the napkins and other paper goods.  I made sure to snag this coupon for .55 0ff any Wet-Nap product before I headed to Walmart.  Every little bit helps when you’re trying to save!  Combine the printable coupon with Walmart’s already low prices and you have a pretty darn good deal!

Wet-Nap-Wipes-1

I was glad to find the anti-bacterial option!!  This meant I could skip handwashing from time to time, or at least delay it a bit.  Even with organic gardening, there’s still some gross stuff to be found on the plants sometimes.  Wet-Naps helps make sure my hands are free of both germs and dirt so I can cook my daily harvest without hesitation.  Some nights, it’s my saving grace!

Wet-Nap has improved their wipes!

  • Wet-Nap wipes are softer than before
  • Wet-Nap wipes are also stronger
  • Wet-Nap wipes now moisturize with aloe

These improvements are what make them so great for use after gardening.  I need a tough wipe that does the job but doesn’t leave my skin dry and tight. I also love that you can buy them in the canister, in the pop up container or the individual packets. Those really come in handy for on the go! I just keep a few in my purse. Never fails, when out and about — someone makes a mess!

Wet-Nap-Wipes-bag

 

These are perfect for anytime, but especially in the summertime. We love being outdoors, and since the boys love fishing (who am I kidding?? I love it too!!) we always take them with us. Dry towels just don’t do the trick when you have wormy dirty fingers and hands! You gotta have something tough and moist that can kill the germs and get all the yuck off!

How would Wet-Nap Hand Wipes help your family?

Make Mornings Easier with Jimmy Dean® Breakfasts

June 2, 2014 by Jenni 525 Comments

This post brought to you by Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.

 photo 077900334962PSOriginalHorizontal_zpsb937bf90.jpg

I’ve admitted here on my blog many times that I’m not the main cook in the family. That would be my husband. I’m more the sides and desserts girl. Soo….for that reason, a big breakfast just goes out the window most mornings. Unless it’s the weekend and hubs is home.

I keep a freezer full of breakfast-y things and I have a thing for breakfast sandwiches, whereas, little man prefers stuff more along the sweet side. We’ve been buying Jimmy Dean® products for years. My mom always bought their sausage. So when they came out with these little convenient breakfast items I found at Walmart in the freezer section, it was like kizmet.

 photo 87dc55ac-0328-4987-9871-805161373cf9_zps03a70a5f.jpg

These little beauties are perfect ANY time. My husband likes to take the sausage, egg and cheese croissant with him to work in the mornings. He also tends to grab one on busy Saturday mornings as he’s headed out the door to do yard work. There packed full of protein and seem to really tide him over until lunch time.

Jimmy Dean breakfast

Since corn dogs have always been a hit in our house, it’s no wonder the Jimmy Dean®  Pancake and Sausage on a stick is well loved. What’s not to love?! Anything on a stick is more fun to eat….plus you can PLUNGE it into some yummy syrup! That’s mine and little man’s favorite thing to do. Dunk, dunk and dunk!

All of the Jimmy Dean® breakfast items are microwaveable (hello, convenience!) and ready in less than 3 minutes. The pancake and sausage on a stick actually takes less than a minute!! So – if you’re looking for some breakfast-y convenience in the mornings, grab this Jimmy Dean® $1 off coupon and head to Walmart to try some for yourself – and Have a better breakfast!

 Have you already tried the Jimmy Dean® Breakfast items? Which is your favorite?

Are you a Super Mom?! Tackle that Back to School Shopping List and Save with White Cloud

July 23, 2013 by Jenni 493 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud. All opinions are 100% mine.

 photo 1162ef5e-4d2d-416a-a97c-75470d9d7477_zpsb860d0db.jpg


I can’t believe it. Back to School season is in and I feel like we just went on vacation! Sending kids back to school gets really expensive, especially if you have more than 1 child in school. Do you get overwhelmed when you start thinking about shopping? So, with the help of White Cloud, we can tell those never-ending and daunting back to school lists to surrender to Super Moms everywhere!

Did you know that the National Retail Federation’s statistics show that parents spent almost $700 on back to school shopping last year? Talk about a dent in the wallet!

Here are just a few recommendations that I have for shopping back to school. First off, set a budget and STICK to it! Get what you have to have first and then let the rest of your budget cover the things that are “wants” vs. “needs”. As far as supplies go, you can find lots of deals in retail stores like Walmart. Also consider shopping online at discount supply stores. Bulk packages of supplies can be used throughout the year. Bigger out of pocket up front, but savings prevail in the end!

For saving on clothes, shoes and accessories – I always look for deals online, especially if I can get free shipping! Walmart has lots of great clothes online and instore. Plus…when shopping online you get GREAT shipping rates. For supplies and clothes, shop year round. Just whenever you find a great deal – snatch it up and don’t wait until you have to pay full price later when you actually need the item!

Most schools hand out a list of supplies/items needed to bring in. Most often, facial tissue is on the list and that’s a good thing. Fall and beginning of school season brings lots of buggies around so they’re great to have on hand, even in the classroom! Bet you didn’t know – you can support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals just by purchasing the limited edition White Cloud CMN Facial Tissue boxes!! I love when purchases like that benefit an awesome organization!

White Cloud products are sold exclusively at Walmart. Check the White Cloud Store Locator  to see if it’s sold in your area. You can find 3 or 6 boxes in one package which is perfect if you have multiple kids going back to school! They’re super duper soft and soothing on those dry noses…they’re the epitome of Pure Comfort™. Before you go to grab your package of White Cloud Tissues, visit the White Cloud Facial Tissue page to get a $0.75 off coupon!! You’ll also find the coupon in the July 28th newspaper FSI and the following magazines!

o Better Homes & Gardens

o Good Housekeeping

o First for Women

o Cosmopolitan

o Woman’s Day

o O, The Oprah Magazine

o Family Circle

Into Green Cleaning? Try the New Heinz Cleaning Vinegar! #HeinzVinegar #Cbias

September 24, 2012 by Jenni 1,415 Comments

You know, I never really considered the importance of natural cleaning or “green cleaning” in my home until after I had my son, Eli.  I always thought, the stronger the chemical...the better.  A few years ago, I had come to the realization that my mother, grandmother, and her mother knew back then what I would eventually realize as an adult running a household.  They used natural, chemical-free cleaning products, like vinegar for a reason!

 

I remember my mom and grandma filling the kitchen and bathroom sinks with warm water and vinegar.  I never understood the reason, actually, I never even gave it much thought at all…until I was a mom!  Vinegar is a miraculous liquid.  Really, if you think about it, it is.  You can drink it, you can make salad dressing with it, you can pickle and can foods with it.  You can mop the floors with it, you can sanitize with it, it deodorizes stinky places, and eat through hard water deposits, ohh – and it cuts through grease and grime like nobody’s business!  It’s the most versatile thing ever and makes for healthy cleaning!

Because it’s all natural and because it does such a fantastic job at cleaning…it’s the perfect all purpose cleaner to have especially if you have children and pets because it won’t harm them – at all!  I actually put vinegar in my dogs food daily to help protect her from fleas!  It works…promise!

 

Heinz has recently launched a NEW product called Heinz Cleaning Vinegar!  Don’t let the word “cleaning” scare you from using it.  It has no soap or chemicals in it at all!  It’s just vinegar, only less diluted than regular vinegar so that it does a better job at all things related to cleaning.  As a matter of fact, right on the bottle it says, “Safe for cooking, perfect for cleaning”. You can find it at Walmart in the grocery department.

*Look for it in the grocery section, right beside the other vinegar products…in the same aisle as the pickles and salad dressing.

I had never tried it until now and I bought some to give it a whirl.  It does work harder and quicker than regular vinegar and it was only $2.98 for a big ole’ jug!

Some things I personally like to clean with vinegar, and other uses:

  • Mopping wood floors, especially if you have older hardwood floors that need TLC.
  • Stove, countertops, cabinets, fridge, microwave, other appliances (makes the fridge smell fresh and clean)
  • Bathroom; toilets, showers, tubs, sinks (cuts through hard water deposits)
  • Toys and Eli’s Thomas the Tank table where he sits to eat
  • Mirrors (leaves no streaks!!)
  • Sticky stuff – removes anything sticky (stickers, glue, gum)
  • Coffee Pot – We get hard water buildup inside the coffee pot and I run a couple pots of vinegar through to clean it out
  • Give the dog a squirt or 2 from a spray bottle mixed with a little water before going outside to keep fleas from jumping on him/her
  • Vinegar makes a great weed-killer in flower beds/gardens

I tested a few of the tough spots in the kitchen with the new Heinz Cleaning Vinegar.  Here are some before/after photos.

 

I don’t know about you, but I could clean the refrigerator door handle 10 times a day.  That’s what happens I guess when you have a 6 year old who won’t stay outta the fridge!  There’s peanut butter on there to prove it! The Heinz Cleaning Vinegar cleaned it up in a snap, and even some of the stuck on stuff…plus it made it nice and shiny!

 

 

Then I opened the inside of the fridge.  I had noticed a “blob” of stuff in there earlier before.  With it being higher up in the fridge, I think this was something that my older 43 year old man-child did!  He’s good for that kind of stuff!  Whatever it was, was sticky and kinda stuck on.  Without the vinegar, I probably would have taken a butter knife to scrape it off.  Yes, I’m one of “those” who uses butter knives for things other than spreading butter!  With the vinegar though, it came off easily!

 

 

Remember the 43 year old man-child I just spoke of?  That would be my husband.  Said husband is also the cook of our humble abode.  When he cooks, he doesn’t care who or what is in his path!  He’s like a tornado in the kitchen.  The stove photo above, is the after effects of his night of “chili makin”.  Grease splatters from frying ground beef and then tomato sauce splatters from letting the chili boil too hard.  Utter chaos!  We made a pact years ago when we got married, he cooks and I clean!  So, within just 4 minutes of using the Heinz Cleaning Vinegar, the stove was sparkling clean!  It cut through the grease and splatters as if they were just drops of water!

You can see my complete trip to Walmart to pick it up, plus everything else I cleaned using the vinegar in my Google+ Going Green #HeinzVinegar Cleaning album.

Vinegar has always been a major cleaning supply of mine, well, at least since I’ve been a mom.  I’m happy with this new Heinz Cleaning Vinegar and it will remain the main cleaning supply in our household.  Make sure you give it a try and let us know what you think!  What other natural cleaning solutions do you use?  We’d love to hear those too!

Product Review – The NEW Vtech Switch and Go Dinos

July 14, 2012 by Jenni 1,528 Comments

What little guy doesn’t love dinosaurs and cars?!  Combine them together into one singular toy and you’ve made it “little boy bliss”!  I was recently contacted with an opportunity for Eli to be given 2 of the NEW Vtech Switch and Go Dinos for review.  Well, about 2 months prior to this, he had shown a HUGE interest in dinosaurs thanks to the little TV show Dino Dan!  So when I was contacted to do this review, I was beyond happy!  We’ve always been giant Vtech toy fans anyway!

Finally, the package came and we were introduced to the Switch and Go Dinos, T-Don the Pteranodon and Tonn the Stegosaurus.  Naturally, I couldn’t get the packaging open so I had to keep them hidden from Eli until daddy got home to open them for us!  Most others wouldn’t have a problem with opening these up, but I’m a weakling and dread that kind of stuff.  (Imagine Christmas morning, ughh!)

After getting them opened up and ready to go, well…let’s just say Eli was in HOG heaven!  He loves cars and he loves dinosaurs so he was uber happy!  At first, he had a little difficulty “transforming” them but then he figured it out!  The animation on these dinos are so fun!  They have the cutest voices and say some of the cutest things!


Like I said, they’re easy for the kids to figure out and play with.  They’re VERY “kid” friendly in that they’ve each been dropped a gazillion times and they’re still in one piece.  We really can’t wait to get some of the others in the collection! If your kids love dinosaurs and cars, then these are a must have toy…plus they start out at only $15.96 at Walmart.  They make a nice gifting option for kids even when you want to spend less than $20!

Disclosure:  I have received VTech Switch & Go Dinos to facilitate my review.  No compensation was given.  All opinions are 100% my own, as always!
