Dryel Starter Kit

Image
I just did a post about the Stain Pen and 3-in-1 Fabric Spray. Now I get to tell you about the Dryel Starter Kit. The kit contains 2 ultra-concentrated cleaning cloths that will care for 2 dryer loads (up to four garments in each load for a total of 8 garments). Dryel® is also available in economical six-load refill packs in Clean Breeze Scent to care for up to 24 garments. Each kit includes: Instant Stain Remover Pen 2X ULTRA Concentrated Refill Cloths Re-usable Fabric Protection Bag An instructional pamphlet including coupons This is the Dryel product that I fell in love with years ago. At least I thought it was! The new Dryel works on any type of clothing. Dry clean only, sweaters, jeans, skirts, shirts, etc. All you have to do is throw (I think) 1-4 items in the bag, add a dryel sheet, and put in the dryer for 15-30 minutes (depending on the clothes). It's great for my denim skirt that isn't really dirty enough to be washed, but needs to be freshened up. Right now Wal-M

Once again I have had an opportunity to do a review for MamaBuzz and this time it is for Dryel Products. When the dryer kit first came out I remember my Mom using it a lot. Then of course I used it frequently when I was in college for some of my dress clothes. First up for this review is the Stain Remover Pen. I hadn't heard of this particular product before so I was very interested. I should add that the reason why I am so interested in the Dryel products is because my husband is required to wear a suit to work. He only has one suit coat and a couple pairs of pants...so we don't get these items to the dry cleaners very often. The Dryel products have helped us keep the dry clean clothes clean in between taking them to the dry cleaner. From the Dryel website : Dryel On The Go™ helps remove fresh stains, and it’s EVEN safe on dry clean only clothes, delicates and hand-washables such as wools, silks, rayons, linens, cottons and other special care fabrics. This pen is a great thin

Birthdays and Soccer

At least I am not a month behind on posting pictures....right? :-) Big T's birthday happened to be the same day as the Easterday Reunion up at my BIL's house. So we took his cake up there to share with everyone. (I didn't want to make him wait for his cake) I am so glad that he liked his cake. I am curious what he will ask for next year though! Special K enjoyed playing inside Big T's tent. :-) Of course the pool was a big hit with all the children. :-) My SIL even started throwing water balloons. Little E thought that was great fun! You can even tell that their chickens are free range in this photo. See that feather? One of the many things Special K tried to put in her mouth. Yuck! Waiting for a ride on the four wheeler. It's no wonder it takes me so long to clean the house. Little E came up with one of the shop vac attachments stuck on his arm. LOL And then he thought it was funny and put the other one on too. Upward Soccer practices started last week. Big T, Swee

Birthday Photo Shoot

Image
I am not a great photographer. There. I said it. Like you all didn't know. I just wanted to preface this post by saying that. :-) So anyway.....When any of the children have a birthday I do my best to get a good photo of them. Which can be a very hard thing sometimes. So I wanted to share some of the pictures from Big T's photo shoot. I hope you enjoy! Had to tint one picture green since it's his favorite color. Majority of the pictures are going to be left on the "cutting room floor" so to speak. I t's hard to keep him focused for more than 3 minutes. Then it was time for him to climb down out of the tree. He wasn't so sure how to do that at first. "Mom, quit taking pictures and help me!" He did eventually find his way back down.

Ecostore Products

I have been given the opportunity to once again write a review. This time it was for the EcoStore . The first item I got to review was the dishwash liquid. I am always looking for a good soap to wash our dishes. Here is what the website says about the dishwash liquid-- Gentle on your skin yet effective on your dishware the Ecostore USA Dish Liquid has great grease cutting power and leaves a light, fresh fragrance. Free of any synthetic chemicals, your family and the planet will appreciate it! (16 fluid ounces) Ingredients Palm and coconut based ionic, non-ionic and anionic surfactants Mineral hydroxide Natural citrus oil I like this dishwash soap very much. Sometimes when I purchase other brands the scent is so incredibly strong. This has a nice light scent to it. Nothing to heavy. (I have to watch what I buy. My hubby doesn't like any soaps or anything with to strong of a scent.) The poor guy can't even walk past th

Just because I have (once again) fallen behind I am just going to post a bunch of random photos that were on the camera. :-) First up is Shad. He can be such a pain some times, but we do love him. We got him when Big T was about 8 or 9 months old I think. I miss living in the country, but I am so glad that we have a fire pit so we can roast yummy marshmallows. :-) Yummy marshmallows! Special K loves taking rides in the wagon. Oh yeah. I did do a little something for myself last week. Remodeling my kitchen is definitely not a possibility at this times, so I have tried to decorate my kitchen any way I can without breaking the budget. I made these curtains back in April. I have been trying to incorporate more of the 40's color scheme in my kitchen . Red and White was a main theme along with Jadeite. Well, since my walls were already yellow I just added some blue and red accents. :-) It's working out pretty well. The most recent thing I did was take this clock apart... Spray pain

What a Cutie!

Just had to show off more pictures of Special K...just because. :-)

Happy Birthday Big T!

It's impossible. He can't be seven already....can he? It is amazing how fast he has grown up. He is our first born and our blessing. I'll admit it. I cry when I look at these pictures. And look at you now! We love you so much! You are a wonderful brother to Sweet E, Little E and Special K. We couldn't have hoped for anything more ! I pray that you have a wonderful birthday and a blessed year. :-D
