Purex no sort for Colors ~ Giveaway ~ Sweepstakes

Disclosure:  The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex No Sort for Colors detergent in exchange for a product review.  However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

Purex is changing the rules for how we do our laundry and I am excited!  I like to always make sure I have a full load every time I do my laundry but I tend to have two full loads and two half loads.  Well now I have no worries because my two half loads can now be combined into one giant load.  This is great because not only does it save time but it is also saves energy and water and that leads to saving money!!

We have all had colors that bled well washing clothes at some point in time and it is highly aggravating when clothes get ruined in the washer.

"Purex No Sort for Colors detergent features a breakthrough Anti-Color-Transfer Technology which traps loose dyes in the wash and reduces color bleeding accidents in your mixed color loads leaving your clothes bright and clean."

This doesn't mean throw that brand new red shirt in your washer as that is a bit much but for your everyday loads of clothes you have already washed several times this will help keep your clothes looking brighter and newer.  I think of that black shirt that starts to dull over time.  That is because the dye is bleeding in the wash and getting on your clothes.  This is what you are containing.  Seems like a win win! Less loads of laundry and clothes that look newer longer.

I would love to give one of my readers a chance to try it out for themselves so make sure you enter in the rafflecopter below!  Purex is also hosting an awesome giveaway where you can win $1,000 and a years supply of Purex no sort.  I don't know about you but I would LOVE to win that much money so I will be entering daily and you should to.  Good luck!

The World Needs More Airheads ~ Contest ~ Giveaway ~ Laughs

Everyone has an airhead moment or two or ten that stands out in their life.  It may of been embarrassing, humiliating, or maybe you were the only one that knew about it.  Since I have become a mom I think my airheaded moments have multiplied.  I have pulled out of my garage to my cup of coffee spilling down my windshield.  There have been several times, ok probably more like monthly episodes where I leave my phone on the roof of my car only to realize that nope that wasn't a rock falling out of the sky that was my phone flying into the middle of traffic.  Every time I stop and collect all the pieces to my phone, in traffic.  This is the main reason why I do not have a smart phone.

These are things I am sure everyone has done but there are two really big moments that stand out in my life as OMG airhead moments.  The first was last week.  I got all the way to work, early!  Only to turn around and realize my son was still in the car.  Total fail.  The second was probably about 8 years ago.  I picked out this beautiful dark auburn color and was so excited to dye my hair.  You are supposed to test a section of hair first but come on who really does that.  After ten minutes I rinsed it all out and dried my hair only to realize my hair was not a beautiful auburn color but bright orange.  And when I say orange I am talking prisoner jumpsuit orange.  I quickly put on a hat and headed straight to the salon.

Well it is time to stop hiding your airhead moments and flaunt them!  Head over to airheadscandy.tumblr.com and upload your airhead moment for a chance to be featured in an airheads commercial.  It can be a video you have had in secret or something new you have tried.  This requires no thinking at all just doing!  Totally rock that cool new cat eye look only to see in pictures later you looked like a clown?  Did you get a perm later realizing you looked like a frizzy lion and yeah its permanent?  From beauty trends gone wrong to plain old I really shouldn't of done thats, show off your moments.  Your airheadedness might just make you a star!

For stopping by the wonderful folks at Airheads Candy have offered a candy filled prize pack.  Just share with me a moment where you have laughed, cried or maybe a little bit of both because it happens to the best of us.

P.S. I heard that raw eggs and mayonnaise are great for your hair!  I am off to give myself an ombre  :)

No More Crib!

This past week my boys room has gone through drastic changes. We gave our crib to a friend and Nick transitioned to the toddler bed as though nothing had changed. I had planned on keeping Nick in the crib as long as possible and I knew that time was up when climbing out became more of a game instead of going to sleep. Getting rid of the crib got rid of the games and bedtime was easier!

The next step was getting Chris in a bed.  Being my first I coddled him a lot.  He cried I would run and snuggle and that evolved to him coming downstairs and eventually led to him just sleeping on the couch for over two years now.  It has always been my goal to get him to sleep in his room and since we got rid of the crib I figured this was the time.  I let him pick out the bed and the bedding.  He was SO excited.  I couldn't believe how excited he was about the new blue race car bed and the new monster truck bedding.  I was hopeful but still doubtful it would work.

His bed was finally ready we got new mattresses and I had Chris help me rearrange the room and then bedtime came and I got a flat out no and the tears started coming.  I couldn't force it so I let him sleep on the couch.  Again.  The next day I asked him why he didn't want to sleep in his cool new bed and he told me there were ghosts up there and they stare at him when he lays in the bed.  Um, yeah I'm scared lol.  I dropped the subject and then bedtime came again.  I asked him if he wanted to sleep upstairs and he said NO.  I then asked him if he wanted to take his Thomas flashlight with him and I got an enthusiast YES!  I couldn't believe it.  He grabbed his blankets and marched upstairs.  I told him to just push the button if the light went out and he said O.K. I love you mommy, good night. BITTERSWEET.

As I write this I miss seeing my baby sleeping next to me.  It is something I want but miss all at once.  It is his first night and I am hopeful he will still be up there in the morning.  I want him to enjoy sharing a room with his brother.  This is truly your first night in a big boy bed.  Love you.
