RLR Laundry Treatment Giveaway - Ended

RLR Laundry Treatment Giveaway - Ended





I have two 1.35 oz packages of  Cadie RLR laundry treatment to giveaway to one lucky winner. I use RLR on cloth diapers and also in my load of whites. My whites come out cleaner than using just bleach. I use RLR in my cloth diapers quite often. I have hard water and the diapers never seem to rinse out all the way unless I use RLR. Now the cloth diapers come out smelling clean.


From the package:
The once a month treatment for all washable fabrics...whites & colors. RLR Laundry Treatment is NOT a soap or bleach. It is a special treatment to remove dulling dried in particles from fabric. It leaves whites whiter and colors brighter. During regular washing, mineral deposits in the water; dirt and soil sediments; and residual matter from detergent all accumulate in the fabric causing it to look dingy. RLR Laundry Treatment works by removing these particles from the clothing, holding them in suspension in the water and preventing redeposition so they rinse away leaving fabric looking like new.

When to use RLR?
Whenever your things begin to look dingy. RLR is safe to use as often as you wish...fabrics actually last longer with regular use.

Directions:

Open package and empty directly on dry or wet laundry in washing machine. Wash as usual with detergent, softener, etc. as desired. RLR Laundry Treatment can also be used for hand washing of one or two small pieces of clothing--just use a small amount in a basin of water.

RLR - For Whiter whites & brighter colors.
No phosphates - Non-Polluting - Bio-Degradable



Contest ends Sunday September 5th at 12 am EST.

Why you think an Energizer Smart Charger would make your life easier

You go through many batteries when you are a parent. When you are a parent of three children you go through three times the amount of batteries. Especially as children get older and they have complicated toys. Like my two girls have leap pads. It seems most toys need batteries today. Thanks to Jleigndesignz.com and Energizer I have a chance to receive an Energizer Smart Charger and a $15 gift card to Target. You can read about it here. What a great way to save money and keep batteries out of landfills!

Five Lessons Every Child Should Learn

Five Lessons Every Kid Should Learn


Here is my list of five lessons. It was hard to narrow down. I am also big on keeping their area and toys clean. I just could not find a place to add it in the other categories. The following five are more important to me.
1) Be polite. My children must say please, thank you, and you’re welcome.

2) Respect themselves, others, and their space. Toys are included in the respect category.

3) Be nice. No hitting, calling names, saying hurtful things on purpose, and other not so nice behavior. This mom really dislikes calling names or saying something to hurt others on purpose. It’s not tolerated in my household.

4) Food and money are not luxuries. You have to work for money. Money buys the food. Don’t waste either.

5) Learn something new everyday. You can never know enough. By setting the goal to learn something new everyday they will have a better chance at succeeding in life.

And mom catches on

Poor Brooke. Three times today I have heard Madison telling Brooke to clean something up. So I would go into the room to see what is going on and tell Brooke to clean up the mess. I had assumed Brooke had made it. Well, I just caught Madison destroying a toy and telling Brooke to clean up the mess. That does not go over well with mom. Mom does not like her children being mean to each other. And here is Maddie Jean making messes and then telling Brooke to clean it up. So a very upset mom tells Madison to clean up the mess. She gives me the evil look and says "NO, Brookie clean it up!". I give Madison the "mom" look and tell her since she made the mess she will clean it or she will get in trouble. She smiled and cleaned it up. KIDS!
