Giveaway: Spring Cleaning with Clorox

I like having a clean house. But I hate cleaning. And Spring Cleaning? Forget about it!

All year long I fantasize about the various Spring cleaning tasks that I just know I'll be eager to do when Spring comes. I mean, after all, Spring cleaning is supposed to be fun and help us usher in the season of open windows and blue skies.

But then March 21st comes, and I am always distracted by the blue skies. So Spring cleaning never officially happens in my house.

The base boards never get dusted.
The cabinets don't get cleaned out.
The crumbs that accumulate in the silverware holder stay put. (Extra entry to the person who knows how they even get there in the first place!)
The top of the refrigerator stays icky.

You see, the list of ought to's is just too long for beautiful Spring days. I can never bring myself to get those yearly tasks done in a timely manner. Can any of you relate?

There is one part of the house that my ick factor is pretty low on though, and that's the bathroom. It's a small enough room that I can keep it clean. Plus, since the kids don't play in there, it usually stays clean. That's a bonus in my book. And honestly, I can only manage to keep one room clean at a time anyone. Who's with me on that?!

Recently, Clorox and Mom Central wanted to encourage me with my Spring cleaning by sending me a Clorox Toilet Wand. 

Did it help me get my whole house ready for Spring? Not really.

But it did make cleaning the toilet less icky. I especially liked that it came with a wand holder so I don't have to stare at an ugly toilet bowl brush in the corner of my bathroom. Plus, it is quick and easy to use. Clorox made this short how to video to demonstrate how and why it works better than a traditional bowl brush.

To help you with your Spring cleaning, Clorox wants to give away a Clorox Bathroom Essentials Toilet Wand  prize pack that includes a ToiletWand, bathroom rug, toilet decal, and toilet paper holder.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
