From Mess to the Neater Feeder


From Mess to the Neater Feeder

“I swear mom I did not make the mess with my food! ” Ruger says with his German Shorthaired Pointer eyes.

From Mess to the Neater Feeder

It is so frustrating to find this mess every single day. As I walk through past my dining table I step in water and slip on dog food pebbles all from my dogs’ dishes.  Every time they eat or drink some falls out of their mouth. Plus if I don’t clean up the area fast enough they are walking around the area and the dogs end up making more of a mess by scattering it all over! The only way I would be able to clean the mess up would be to constantly follow them around with a broom when they go over to have a drink or eat.

See this! The mess of the dry dog food mixed with the water is an open invitation for ants.  I have been completely fed up and at my whits end trying to find an easy way to prevent this from happening.

 I started doing some research to find different products that would help keep my house ant free, my feet dry and my dog’s dishes not a mess.  I found this AWESOME “Neater Feeder” with a unique design that keeps the mess off the floor.

Check out the design it appears similar to any other dog feeder.

The “Neater Feeder” is nice because any of the spilled food stays on the top, while the water drains into the bottom so that you can empty easily.  From Mess to the Neater Feeder

My Daughter’s Potty Dilemma


My Daughters Potty Dilemma

My Daughters Potty Dilemma

My three year old daughter Bradie has a toilet phoebe no lie, if we are out and about she refuses to use public bathrooms! Its been like this since she has been potty trained at 22 months old, she tells me that she has to go potty but as soon as we get into the bathroom she gets physically ill! Sometimes we can make it as far as into the stall but as soon as we are in there she gets so nervous and will not undress. We first thought that maybe it was the size of the stall being they are so small and confining, so we started frequenting the larger bathrooms for the handicapped. But to no change she still would take one look at the toilet and with a shake of the head she would bolt out. Next we tried to cover the entire seat with toilet paper to show her it was “clean.” I literally had tried everything available, I have even showed her by my own doing that its okay to go to the bathroom in a public restroom, but still no prevail.

At my wits end, fearing that my daughter would give herself an UTI from holding her urine I tried these Potty Covers turning a regular toilet into a “Princess throne.”

My Daughters Potty Dilemma

The first time I tried the potties at our house, I told her it was a special Princess Potty made just for her and showed her how it worked. With an easy install by just unwrapping the plastic, unfold the Potty Cover and then drape it overtop of the toilet. To get my daughter used to the Potty Covers we began to use them each and every time she went to the bathroom.

Next time we went out shopping I let her put the Potty Covers into her purse and explained to her that we would use it if we had to go potty in the store. As if on queue a few minutes into the trip and she told me she was ready to try her “princess throne” out. We went into the family bathroom at Target so that she would have plenty of room to move around and not be claustrophobic. As a pro, she pulled out her Potty Cover and showed me how to set it up and after just a few minutes she was completely at ease. Finally a success-she went potty in a public restroom!

It may not seem like a great success but to her and I its huge! Now my only problem is worrying about running out of the Potty Covers. But with the great price I have stocked up!!

My favorites about the Potty Covers is that their individual packages, I do not have to worry about them coming into contact with germs and because of the packaging size they fit perfectly into a diaper bag or a purse.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.


Lightning Fast Spanish For Kids and Families!


Lightning Fast Spanish For Kids and Families!

When I heard about the opportunity to learn how to speak spanish more fluently I jumped on the opportunity. Being from a small town I already knew that the only language taught in our schools are spanish. My kids are still in elementary school but time flies when you are having fun so I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to learn how to speak, read, and write in spanish so in the upcoming years I can help them along the way if they needed the help. And with all the changes in school curriculum it may come a lot earlier in life than ever for kids to have to learn another language.

As I opened up the first few pages of the book “Lightning Fast Spanish For Kids and Families” I immediately got sucked in! This isn’t an everyday learn how to speak spanish book, you know the kind you get taught in school where si means yes, blanco means white, and mas means more. No this is a hands on practical way to teach you how to speak spanish with your family and kids.

The book is full of 15 different conversational pieces where it is broken down into everyday use, my favorite was the How Was School Today section. In each of the conversational pieces was the breakdown of the english conversation and then the spanish conversation. It was written how it was to be spelled and then in parenthesis was the sound the words should make when said aloud. I personally really enjoyed the examples for role play because it made it seem more real to the people participating in the conversation to be able to act like we were really having the conversation rather than just reading from the book.

After the conversation pieces were more hands on activities that we could use to further our language education. My family and I had fun playing Spanish Bingo, Treasure Hunt and the Scavenger Hunt. These games added more fun into learning the language and helped put more of the language into action.

I would highly suggest this type of books (whether spanish, french, etc..) by Carolyn Woods for someone who is visiting a foreign country, hosting a foreign exchange student or even just speaking to spanish speaking individuals. I remember being in high school thinking where am I ever going to use this type of language but it was only the basics. I really never knew how to put what I had learned into real action other than memorizing words. The difference is this book put it all in a language that anyone and everyone can understand and actually use! I thought that the best part was it made it fun rather than educational.

Not interested in Spanish? How about check out all the books by the same author Carolyn Woods on Amazon. Also, check out Carolyn Woods’ blog too: http://carolyn-woods.com/blog/


Motion Deck Light + Coupon Code for YOU!!


Motion Deck Light + Coupon Code for YOU!!

It’s dark at night coming home sometimes and I am carrying one some of my bags in the house cursing my husband under my breath for not leaving the outside light on, then my deck light goes off because it senses me coming, relief finally!! It wasn’t always this way.

Are you one of those people who tries to beat the clock on your car lights, to turn your outside lights on so that your family can see to come inside?

Do you have unwanted pests?

I have the answers to all those questions! I recently had the opportunity to test out one of these cool Motion Deck Lights and I absolutely loved it! It works so great for the nights that we come home and forget to turn the outside light on, it senses my motion and automatically lights my path! I live in Central New York in the county and we have unwanted pests always trying to steal a bite out of the garbage since I have had the deck light it turns on and soon as it senses the pest and scares it away!!!

Motion Deck Light + Coupon Code for YOU!!

This is from the website: “Looking to enhance your outdoor living spaces with attractive automatic lighting?  Fed up with cheap yard lights that get thrown out after one season?  Our battery operated Motion Deck Light provides long lasting, motion activated lighting in an appealing, durable, weatherized package.

The Motion Deck Light comes in three finishes (white, pewter, and bronze) to comfortably match your existing décor.  The light housing is weatherized to prevent moisture penetration and fogging, and we’ve gone the extra mile to make it insect proof as well.  And you’ll be able to install the battery powered light yourself in just minutes with the included screws, no need to call an electrician or run wires.

Like our Deck Marker Light, the Motion Deck Light turns on in Low Glow mode at dusk, providing a gentle glow to mark the locations of steps, posts, or doorways.  The Motion Deck Light also includes a motion sensor which activates a bright mode, casting a wide pool of bright, glare-free light underneath the product.  The motion sensor has an effective angle of 160 degrees, and a range of 30 feet, which means the light will reliably brighten before you reach it, rather than activating once you’re already past.

The Motion Deck Light also allows you to select the brightness and duration of the bright mode.  For example, select thirty seconds of high brightness for paths, steps, and entryways, or five minutes of moderate brightness for living and entertaining spaces like porches, decks, and patios.  The motion sensing light will always check for motion before shutting off, ensuring that you won’t be left in the dark.  And in all but the heaviest use cases the Motion Deck Light will operate for more than a year, and possibly as long as two years, on a single set of batteries.

Jenesis products are designed to conform to the needs of our customers, not to force customers to conform to the product.  The simple versatility and intuitive controls of our Motion Deck Light reflect our desire to produce products that fit seamlessly into your home, quietly enhancing your living space without requiring a second thought.”

Check out my new vinyl banner that I had made by Banners on the Cheap! Yes, the price was cheap but the quality wasn’t cheap.

I had been looking for a nice vinyl banner for some time that I could use at my coupon classes, along with advertising at a few other places and I stumbled upon Banners On The Cheap and was intrigued by the low prices, fast shipping and great quality. I ordered my vinyl banner on a Friday and it was in my hands by the next week! I was so excited to show everyone and I have had some great feedback.

Here is some prices for you:

$28 for a 3′x8′

$12 for a 2′x5′

What I really liked is the endless ideas of banners, you can make one for a Welcome Home, a Birthday, Advertising, Proposal, Baby Shower, and MUCH more! Whatever you want you can make it!

When I was ordering my banner I just uploaded my image and did not think about what would happen if it was to be enlarged. It ended up that my image was to poor to make an enlargement but, I received an email saying so and had the opportunity to fix it! I was highly impressed with the customer service. This company wants YOU to have presentation quality and not junk!

Banners On The Cheap’s sister companies sell Photo to Canvas, car magnets, and lawn signs if you are interested in any of those products you should really check them out!!!
