Giveaway: Purex Complete Crystals Softener

Posted in Reviews

See those pretty crystals?  Those crystals are actually the brand new Purex Complete Crystals Softener.  They are 92% natural.  They are not oil based, so they will not coat your clothes with an unsafe film of oil.  The crystals work by penetrating the oil which leaves your laundry smelling fresh for weeks instead of days.  It also means that your clothes will not become less absorbent with use unlike traditional fabric softeners. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners come in 3 different scents:  Fresh Spring Waters, Lavender Blossom, and Tropical Splash.   The Crystals are safe for use in HE front loaders.…

Holiday Entertaining with Waverly by Hefty

When we received the Hartz® Dura Play® Ball and Tuff Stuff™ Nose Divers™, “puppy” immediately grabbed the Tuff Stuff™ Nose Divers™ duck. It quickly became his favorite toy. He carried it around. He tossed it around. He played…

I received this beautiful Creeping Thyme pattern unglazed small loaf pan from their Artisan line of pottery.  The 3″ X 5″ X 3″ loaf pan is…

It’s no secret around out house that I am not a big game person (other than Wii games), but both D and Munchkin love to play board games.  Because I love them, I try to join in on the fun.  Every now and then, a game comes along that makes it a bit easier to join in on their crazy fun…. As soon as Wits and Wagers Family arrived, Munchkin took it out of the…
