Special thanks to Orblue for providing a sample for review purposes. I don’t know how many times I’ve diced and minced garlic over the years. I do the smash with the knife thing to remove the skin before setting to work either dicing or mincing. After using this garlic press, I’m wondering why I didn’t get one of these sooner – much sooner. It would have saved me a lot of time and energy because I love garlic in my cooking. We’ve been receiving beautiful organic garlic in our CSA boxes for the last few months, and I’ve been enjoying…
At our house, we’ve been on a journey to natural health. It hasn’t always been an easy path, and we certainly haven’t arrived at our destination. Gradually, we are replacing traditional health and wellness items with natural/alternative methods. We’ve noticed that some products work while others don’t which is why making a total transition is not easy. Add in the fact that we’re all pretty sensitive to strong smells, and it does make things a bit more difficult. Many natural remedies contain things like lavender which gives me headaches, so they’re a no go for us. When I saw the information…
Natural House probiotic cleaning products were born out of a need seen by a new mom. She wanted her house to be free of all those ucky chemicals while still maintaining a clean, healthy home. The Natural House products are phosphate/APE-free, eco-firendly, non-toxic and biodegradable. They do not use any genetically modified (GM) bacteria. While their products are safe for the home, family, and pet, they also provide commercial grade cleaning strength. Another plus, they do not have a harsh, over-powering fragrance.
I admit that we’ve had quite a few flops when it comes to natural cleaning products at our house. Yes, we’ve found some good ones over the years since we’ve moved to more natural products in our home, but it’s been a process. While I love testing out new products, I do tend to be a bit leery as I never know if they’ll actually work. In this case, the hesitancy was completely unfounded…
Our first test was the Sinky Disposal Scrubber and Drain Maintenance. Each package contains 4 individual packets. Every week, you take one of the packets and toss it into the drain, run hot water over it for a few seconds, and watch the foaming action go to work. (If you have a garbage disposal, you’ll also run the disposal.) The foaming action is great as there is something satisfying about seeing the product working before your eyes. The great thing is that Sinky continues to work throughout the week (no, it doesn’t keep foaming all week long). We were impressed as it really did make the sink/drain/disposal smell better.
Next up was the Flushy Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Septic Treatment. Once again, the package contains a 30 day supply of individual packets. When you toss the packet into the toilet, you immediately see the blue foaming action. It makes cleaning toilets easier, and it allows you to clean the toilets less frequently due to the ongoing cleaning action of the probiotics in the packets. Love that! I’m also pleased to see the some of our “ring around the toilet” is going away the longer we use the Flushy.
Our final product was Trashy Trash Can Deodorizer and Scrubber. This is an easy to use, fresh smelling spray. I put this product to the ultimate test by using it on an extremely stinky outside trashcan. I honestly didn’t think it would work, but much to my surprise, it worked! With the first application, the “stank” factor dropped dramatically. Now, our outside trashcan only stinks if the trash that’s put into it stinks. Yep, it really worked. We have also used it on our kitchen trashcan to keep it fresh. As you can tell, this was my absolute favorite product.
All of the Natural House probiotic cleaning products worked as described. They are a great healthy alternative to some of the harsh chemical cleaners on the market, and they make cleaning some of the more difficult areas of the home just a little bit easier.
Natural House priobiotic cleaning products can be purchased through the Natural House website or through Amazon. You can keep up-to-date on Natural House products by following them on Facebook and Twitter.

Say goodbye to everyday cupcakes and hello to eye-catching, fun cupcakes. Recently, I have been making cupcake wraps to jazz up my cupcakes, so I was intrigued when I heard about Roundabouts Cupcake Sleeves. Sheri Mersola, the inventor of Roundabouts, decided to take typical cupcake wraps and kick them up a notch or ten. Roundabouts transform cupcakes into mini works of art – centerpieces for parties and get togethers. We received a package of the root beer float sleeves to review. Yesterday, Munchkin baked some delicious gluten free chocolate cupcakes, so we could try out the cupcake sleeves. They were…
If you are like me, you are probably wondering what is a WondaWedge? A WondaWedge is an inflatable indoor/outdoor lounger. Because it features a lumbar roll, it provides great back support. Users can adjust the firmness as well as the angle of the wedge to maximize comfort. The flocked pvc material is easy to clean with soapy water. When I first saw the WondaWedge, my mind immediately went to the fact that it looked like it would be perfect for tent camping or for use in our trailer. Since it deflates for easy storage, it takes up very little space. …
