Life's Reality Calls for the RugDoctor - Keeping Up with My Carpet

I recieved a RugDoctor to put through the paces in order to share my opinions and experiences. I used the Portable Spot Cleaner on real carpet, on real messes from my (too messy) real family. #MC 

I love having people over, but I have always been self concious about our floors.

Most days the odds are stacked against me for a spotless floor. With 3 small children, indoor cats and all the dirt of the farm trying to leave it's mark on my carpets, it is a loosing battle. Believe me, I have tried. We have great vacuum cleaners and an upright carpet cleaner. But, for the average everyday spills and accidents, I just couldn't keep it up.

Okay, the upright carpet cleaner has been nice, but for the size, weight and prep it takes, it is much better suited for doing a large area at once. After moving the furniture and then letting the room dry for a day, it is hard to work into our busy lives.

So I started looking longingly at smaller spot cleaners.

I needed something that could either clean up a pet mess, diaper disaster or juice box drama. I also needed something easy enough for me to use. My poor husband was designated the carpet cleaner in the house, but most evening during the Summer he is just too tired for housework after a hot day of farming.

The size and weight of the RugDoctor were my first favorite features. It was a machine I could easily grab for using or carry up and down the stairs.

There are two tanks on the front, clearly labeled for use. I made up the clean water and solution mixture to use. It just goes in the Clean Water Tank

I used the handy spray wand and motorized brush to prep and go over spots in the carpet. There is a button on the back of the wand to turn on the brush motor and a trigger for solution on the underside of the brush grip.

The brush moves enough to agitate any stubborn spots and I didn't have any trouble getting out the dark and discolored areas that have collected on our stairs. It is such a high traffic area, I am not even sure how old some of those stains are.

In fact, our stairs haven't been cleaned since we had it professionally done before we moved in.

This is the first machine that has easily fit on the stair. I was able to clean two stairs above and below where I set the machine.

The other feature I was surprised about is the power. For such a small machine, it has more power than the larger cleaner we own. Even my husband admitted he was impressed. Despite soaking each spot in solution, the RugDoctor had enough power to lift most of the moisure up into the waste water tank.

And the water that cameback into the tank was disgusting! Brown and filled with dirt, I know I haven't been doing a good enough job with our carpets. Luckily, now I have a better solution and a good way to keep up on our high traffic areas.

Overall it is a great addition to my cleaning routine. Much easier to pull out for the smallest of spills, I won't have to let them add up till I can't stand it anymore. That makes my husband grafeful. I just look forward to being more confident about having friends over.

My floors look better than ever. I guess all it took was a small, yet powerful, RugDoctor.

How do you keep up with the stains in your home? Any tips you can share?

Getting Set for the Twinkie Cookbook - My Chocolate Dipped Cajeta Twinkie Recipe

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Twinkies. I received samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Twinkies were a fixture of my childhood. Actually all of Hostess was, including the monthly trip to the Day Old Hostess shop in town. I remember making my selections to fill lunch boxes for the next several weeks. It was the closest thing to a kid and a candy store feeling I remember.

Now that Hostess is back along with all our childhood favorites, The Twinkies Cookbook is also making it's comeback. So if you are a Twinkie fan or food fanatic with a great idea for a Twinkie treat, get your submission in for The New Edition of the Twinkies Cookbook. Help celebrate the triumphant return of the Twinkie by submitting your own unique recipe to http://hostesscakes.com/ by July 31st, 2014 for a chance to be included in the next #TwinkieCookbook.

My Twinkie creation is a Chocolate Dipped Cajeta Twinkie. My husband is a huge cajeta fan, though he could just eat it by the spoonful. I love caramel, so thought it would be great to combine our favorites into one ultimate snack cake treat. And the chocolate? Well, besides that dark chocolate is just awesome, it does a great job of holding my little Cajeta Twinkie Treat together. So grab a box of Hostess Twinkies and let's make some fun treats!

Chocolate Dipped Cajeta Twinkies

You Will Need:

• Hostess Twinkies
• Cajeta
• Melting Chocolate wafers
• multi-colored jimmies or mini M&Ms

Slice each Twinkie in half. Squeeze a little cajeta in the middle and replace the top.

In a double boiler or melting pot, melt your chocolate wafers. Dip the Twinkie sandwich in the chocolate or pour chocolate over one half. Sprinkle with jimmies or M&Ms and set on waxed paper or cupcake liners to cool. The chocolate will harden as it comes to room temperature.

Enjoy!

What would you create with your Twinkies?

My Little Mover Gives Me Reason To Celebrate

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Huggies. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. #MC #MovingMoments

So much to do! Elliott is getting set to celebrate his 1st birthday this Friday and I can't believe how busy he is. From the moment he wakes up he is playing and crawling, standing and taking his first timid steps while I run along after him trying to tidy up the aftermath of his busy hands. Everyday seems like a new reason to celebrate him growing up.

I love watching him explore and learn about his world.

His most recent thing is to crawl into the floor swing to play. I will hear him giggling in the living room and know he has flopped down into his favorite spot, laughing as he goes back and forth.

I love watching him race across the floor after his big sister, big brother or our cat. He has mastered the crawl and have you ever seen a motivated baby? If he sees my iPhone the race is on! Thank goodness I can give him the freedom and room to explore without worrying if his diaper is up the challege.

Our Huggies Little Movers have a Snugfit wasteband that moves with Elliott whether he is laying down, climbing or trying to walk. I also like the Double Grip Strips on the sides and front that allow for a customizable fit. The velcro tabs don't rub or chaffe.  He is changing so fast everyday.  Even as he grows, I know I can count on his diapers to keep him dry and comfortable. And did you get a look at the adorable Mickey Mouse prints on the back? Love them.

I also love the fact I can pick them up on my trips to Target. I just love stocking up on baby supplies while I am there.

Now, I don't know if it is because Elliott is my third and final baby, but the transition from newborn to a full-fledge crawler seemed to go by in a blink. Now I expect him to take off running any day now.

Baby Yogurt on the Go? Grab a Pouch of Stonyfield Organic Yogurt

I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Stonyfield. I received coupons to facilitate my shopping trip and a promotional item to thank me for participating. All opinions and experiences are my own. #MC

Elliott took to eating better than I could have imagined. In fact, he is now an eating machine.

This was in stark contrast to my previous two children. After visits to the feeding clinic with my oldest and arsenal of eating tools and tricks, I was ready to give this little guy my all. Of course, he didn't need any extra help.

I waited to start feeding till he showed an interest... and an interest he had. Our pediatrician suggested starting him off with yogurt. So I did and we haven't looked back.

Of course, since Elliott doesn't have any food restrictions I wanted to find only the best food for him to start on. That lead me to Stonyfield Organic and YoBaby yogurt. We already enjoyed the Stonyfield brand in our home, but I loved the YoBaby containers. Vanilla and peach have been a big hit so far.

But have you ever tried to travel with a carton of yogurt? I promise it can get messy.

Now I can get the same YoBaby Organic Whole Milk Yogurt we love in a squeeze pouch. Am I the only one who just loves the squeeze pouch trend?

Squeeze pouches weren't as common (I don't ever remember seeing them!) when my older kids were young. Now I fill their lunches with pouches of apple sauce or other goodies. The beauty is no spoon is necessary and the cap can go back on to save leftovers for later.

Stonyfield is the first company to create a refrigerated organic yogurt pouch, and all of their  pouches contain pure organic ingredients and never have high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. Nice, right?

I was able to find YoBaby in both Blueberry and Vanilla flavors. We have given Elliott the Vanilla yogurt before, so I knew he liked it. I like it, too! Today though, we tried out Blueberry.

Elliott mildly tolerates us feeding him. I promise that I can't squeeze it onto a spoon fast enough to keep him happy. See the little tear in his right eye?

At almost 11 months old he has been able to figure out pouces pretty quickly. That frees my hands to enjoy my own breakfast.

Now, these do have to be refrigerated, but they would slip into a small cooler for short trips and I plan to take them when we head shopping or for a meal out. My son is just between stages right now. He doesn't want pureed baby food and wants to feed himself more. Because I am picky about what Elliott eats, this yogurt is a great choice for us.

Elliott is a big fan. Which flavor does he prefer? I have no idea. He goes through the pouches too fast to tell. I have tried both and love them equally. What I love is the thick and creamy texture of Stonyfield yogurts. They are great for eating straight or in our morning smoothies.

Now I am on the hunt for the YoToddler and YoKid organic yogurt pouches. I haven't been able to locate them locally yet, but I am going to request them at our regular grocery store. 

Check their site store locator to see where you can find these great pouches near you. And connect with Stonyfield on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest to hear about new products and promotions.

Have you seen the Stonyfield organic yogurt pouches in your area?

Proud to be a Toxin Freedom Fighter, Will You Join Me?

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Seventh Generation. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating. All opinions and experiences are my own.

Life changes a lot when you have kids. Am I right?

I used to grab whatever cleaners sounded the strongest or most intimidating. Harsh smells or scrubs seemed like they did a better job eradicating the bad stuff. I wanted to kill germs at any cost. Now with kids I read labels, I check the warnings... I care more about everything that might touch my children's skin or, heaven forbid, end up in their mouths.

Right now everything ends up in the 9 month old's mouth.

He also has sensitive skin so I choose natural prodcts or ingredients whenever possible. I also use the Seventh Generation cleaning products in my home. I need my home to be clean, but I also need it to be safe for my three children.

Did you know? 

• More than 80,000 chemicals available in the United States have never been fully tested for their toxic effects on our health and environment.
• Scientists have linked exposure to toxic chemicals to many health risks, such as Cancer, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, asthma, birth defects, and various reproductive problems.
• You can lean more on the Natural Resources Defense Council website

So I became a Seventh Generation Toxin Freedom Fighter. It's easy! I signed Seventh Generation’s petition to urge Congress to reevaluate the Toxic Substances Control Act for the first time since 1976. Yes, that's right, it has never been updated!

And have you taken a look at the cleaning aisles lately? There are so many products to choose from and sometimes as a consumer it can be hard to know what to choose. I don't always have time to make my own cleaning solutions and would love to know what I buy in the store is safe to use around young children. And well, safe for myself as well.

Seventh Generation is hoping to make that change for all of us. They care because they have been working for 25 years to bring consumers plant derived cleaning products.  They want to collect 100,000 signatures by April 24th. This will help show Congress that we care. Can you help them out? Will you stand with me to #FightToxins ?

Lay's Do Us A Flavor, What is Your Winning Recipe?

I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Lay’s. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating. All opinions and experiences are my own. #DoUsAFlavor 

I bet you would guess that I am always in the kitchen. Well, not all the time...but, it is my favorite room of the house! Because of my love of all things domestic, I often get my kids involved with me. I really want them to enjoy cooking and feel comfortable in the kitchen.

There is so much to teach them.

How to combine flavors is a skill I hope they both pick up before they leave home. Recipes are great, but it can be a lot of fun, and handy, to be able to change things up with either ingredients on hand or  flavor favorites. My daughter's favorites right now include macaroni and cheese, cheese pizza and pancakes. Both kids are becoming proficient at pancake flipping.

It is time together that I cherish. I know they do, too. Since I am always in the kitchen, they are constantly asking what they can do to help. Now my kitchen helpers can set the table, do a lot of my mixing and even whisking. Currently my son and I are working on folding. It is a work in progress. As he learns to read I know our fun in the kitchen is really just getting started.

Over the past few months I have shared several of my family's favorite foods and flavor combinations. Now, a few of these might even translate into other foods... maybe even potato chip inspiration. I believe the inspiration and memories behind our favorite dishes impact we feel about them. What do you think?

Would you turn any of my flavor creations into a Lay's potato chip flavor?

There is still time to submit your idea for Lay's next great potato chip flavor. The Lay's "Do Us a Flavor" contest is running now through April 5th, 2014.  And who wouldn't want potato chip fame nationwide and a chance to win a million dollar grand prize? See Rules A judging panel of chefs, foodies and flavor experts will narrow down the contest submissions to four flavors. These four flavor finalists will then be fully developed by Frito-Lay's and unveiled for sale nationwide this Summer. From there it is up to the fans to decide who will take home the grand prize. 

And this year, contest entrants have even more creative freedom. The can  choose the perfect style of chip to fit their flavor. Make yours Lay’s Original, Lay’s Kettle Cooked and/or Lay’s Wavy potato chips. What would you like to bite into? Would it be a new family favorite...nationwide? Submit your entry on the Lay's Do Us a Flavor site.

New! Kellogg’s® Nutri-Grain® Fruit & Oat Harvest Cereal Bars for Busy Mornings

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central  for Nutri-Grain. I received product samples and promotional item to thank me for participating. #NGHarvest

I always took my mornings for granted before my kids were born. Now I am more like, what? It's not morning anymore? Where did my day go?

Actually, my day started by me herding three kiddos through the process of getting up, getting dressed, getting fed and out the door. Then I have my morning chores to start, chickens to feed and my email to check. By then I am ready to start setting out things out for our lunches. Do you see a problem with that schedule?

Yeah, my breakfast was missing. And perhaps so were my pants. Yoga pants are all occaision, right?

My husband is a farmer and often rushes out of the house with just his coffee. He has to start early and doesn't eat until lunch... or he grabs a doughnut or cookie from the bakery. He doesn't know that I know this... Yeah, not really a healthy choice. 

So this week I put the new Nutri-Grain Fruit & Oat Harvest Cereal Bars next to his coffee mug in the morning. I put one in my diaper bag and set one on my place at the table the night before. I was just hoping to cover all my basis.

This was not a hard sell in my house. You see, we almost always have a stash of Nutri-Grain snack bars in the pantry. They are my husband's favorite for taking on hikes, bike rides and ski trips.

These new cereal bars come in Strawberry Bliss and Country Blueberry and have the protein, real fruit and whole grains that adults need to start their day. Yeah, 4 grams of protein in just one bar.

Okay, a bar I can handle. That still leaves an empty hand for either my mandatory cup of coffee, or for working on my to-do list. 

And with that extra energy and one more things crossed off my to-do list, I can get out on a morning walk, or spend a little extra time on art projects with my kids. Now, this I can get used to.

Grab your own box of the new bars at your local grocery store. A box of 5 bars has a suggested retail price of $3.59.

How would a Kellogg’s® Nutri-Grain® Fruit & Oat Harvest Cereal Bar help your busy morning?

Sleep Tips from the Formerly Sleep Deprived

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Zarbee’s Naturals. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. #SleepWeek #MC

When I first became a Mom, someone should have warmed me that sleep would end up being such a focus of my waking thoughts. Not only for myself, but for my children. It used to be just what happened at the end of the day. I took it for granted.

Never again.

Over 6 years I have experienced sleep deprivation, insomnia and night terrors. I have seen first-hand what happens when my sweet little angels don't get enough quality sleep themselves. With National Sleep Awareness week here (March 2 - 9), and Daylight Savings Time begining on March 9th, I think it is time to rub the sleep out of our eyes and talk about it.

The best advice I ever received as a new Mom was to respect the child.

Respecting the child ultimately meant to set a reasonable schedule, form a bedtime routine and then stick with it through thick or thin.

I wish it was always that easy, but with Daylight Savings Time looming it is time to batten down the hatches and prepare for the storm of changing bedtime schedules.

Now, schedules are very important, but you have to be willing to follow through with it every night. So first off you need to:

Create a Routine
Not only do you need a consistent bedtime, but also a consistent bedtime routine. The steps leading up to "good night" are very important for kids to not only know what to expect, but signal for them to relax. During the school year our bedtime is 8:00 and we have stories, snuggle time and songs or relaxing music before the kids actually get into their own beds. My favorite lullaby to check out for you children is It's A Big World  by Renee and Jeremy. I have this song at home, but also have it on my phone so we can listen to it when we are taveling. A good routine doesn't have to stop when you are away from home.

Darken the Room
Sometimes, especially during the Summer and naptime, it is hard to fall asleep with the sunlight pouring in. To help with this, we invested in some inexpensive blackout curtains for the windows. When they are closed it is dark and much easier to set the mood for sleep.

Of course to keep those boogie monsters away, each child has a nightlight or sleeptime friend that glows. We need it dark, but I don't want the kids to be scared in the dark either.

Take a peek at the graphic above to see how much sleep our children need. Making sure they don't wake up too early or are able to easily drift off during naptime is my secret to getting in enough Zzz's.

Move Bedtime Slowly
We started moving bedtime slowly before and after the time changes because we had come to belive time changes were created to punish parents. They make no sense from a kid's point of view! Why should they go to bed at one time, one night, and then an hour earlier or later the next day? After a few years of fighting our oldest, we started preparing ahead of time by having the kids go to sleep a few minutes (15) minutes earlier or later. We spread that out  for about a week till the kids were acclimated.

Even I don't mind getting up just 15 minutes earlier... but would drag if you made me go a whole hour earlier.

Less TV
This tip is two-fold. No, I don't actually mean let your kids watch less TV, that is up to you, it means less at certain times. Ever had your kids all hyped up after watching a show like Sponge Bob? Well, by cutting out TV viewing in the evening before bedtime and right before naptime, my kids are able to settle down and get to sleep easier.

The other part of this equation was the decision to take the TV out of the bedroom. It was the best decision I made...ever. I used to watch it before bed or catch the news as I was getting ready for my day, but we finally decided to declare our bedrooms as snuggle and sleep zones only. It has worked really well for us.

Wear Them Out
This tip probably comes because my oldest is a boy. He rarely sits still let alone lays down and closes his eyes at night without complaint. For us, getting him outside and moving really helped. The more worn out he was during the day from physical activity, the more likely he was to sleep well.

And when the weather is too wet or cold to play outside? We either take the kids to our local bouncey center or fire up the Xbox and play a Kinect game that requires us to jump and move to play. My kids are big fans of the Just Dace for Kids series.

And then if my kids still have trouble sleeping... which has been common for my 4 year old lately... we can give her Zarbee's Naturals Children's Sleep. It contains just 1 mg of Melatonin to naturally help with her sleep. Not a long-term solution, but a great way to combat that occaisional rough night.

All week, Zarbee's Naturals is helping parents by sharing sleep tips on their Facebook page and on twitter. Dr. Zak will also be hosting a special Daylight Savings recovery chat on twitter, Sunday March 9th 7pm ET for your questions. Be sure to follow @zarbees.

And to get you prepared for the time change, here is a coupon code for $1.50 off Zarbee’s Naturals Children’s Sleep (and free shipping on all orders over $10). Available online at  www.zarbees.com using zarbeessleep at checkout.

What are your sleep tips?

How My Family Would "Do Us a Flavor" with Lay's

I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Lay’s. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

Does your family have a fall-back meal?

You know, the meal you make when you want the whole family to dig in. No matter how busy you are, you could make it in your sleep. Even the pickiest eaters will have their cheeks too stuffed to complain?

In my house that honor would go to my homemade meatballs and spaghetti. Meaty and juicy little orbs of flavor swimming in a tasty marinara sauce and resting on a nest of pasta. Mmm... pasta.

 I could buy frozen meatballs, but they lack the love that I put into each of mine. Well, that and the copious amounts of garlic and extra Parmesan Cheese. When you cook from scratch you have complete control over everything.

I usually make up a big batch and freeze most of them. I store them in the freezer and pull some out every week. Yeah, we eat a lot of spaghetti and meatballs in my house.

I enjoy this family favorite so much, I think I could even snack on it as a potato chip flavor.

Do you remember the contest from Lay's last year where people could create their own potato chip flavor? The winners had their creations transformed into chip form and they hit the shelves. I swooned just a little over the Sriracha flavor.

Well, Lay's is bringing out "Do Us a Flavor" this year and asking nationwide for potato chip lovers everywhere to create the next great potato chip flavor. Submissions will have the chance to win a $1 million grand prize ("See Rules"). A judging panel made up of chefs, foodies and flavor experts will narrow down the contest submissions to four finalist flavors. The four finalist flavors will then be fully developed by Frito-Lay’s culinary experts and unveiled in summer 2014 and sold nationwide. From there, it will be up to fans to vote for the finalist flavor they want to see stay on store shelves, and the finalist behind the winning flavor will take home the million dollar grand prize.

And this year, fans can even choose the type of chip - Lay’s Original, Lay’s Kettle Cooked and/or Lay’s Wavy - to bring their culinary creations to life.

The "Do Us a Flavor" contest ends April 5th, 2014, so there is no time to waste! Push up those sleeves, pick up your forks and start looking for the next best potato chip flavor.

Mine will definately be spaghetti and meatballs...

Andrea's Best Meatball Recipe

You Will Need:

• 1 medium yellow onion, grated
• 1-2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 1/2 c. panko bread crumbs
• 2/3 c. milk
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 lb. ground pork
• 1 lb. ground lamb
• 1 large egg
• 3 cloves crushed garlic
• 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 Tbsp. dried parsely
• 2 tsp. granulated onion powder
• 1 tsp. Worchestershire Sauce
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
• 1 Tbsp. canola oil

Start by sauteing the onion till translucent over medium low heat with a teaspoon of olive oil. Set the onions aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl combine the ingredients, except the canola oil, and mix gently by hand till everything is combined. With a small cookie scoop, portion out the meat mixture and roll into balls.

Heat up a cast iron skillet with a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Working in batches, place a single layer of meatballs in the pan.  Do not overcrowd them. You need enough room to turn them once they begin to carmelize on one side. Keep turning till they are uniformly browned all over. Place on a rack over paper towels to drain off any excess grease. Continue until all the meatballs are cooked. Let them cool and then freeze in a single layer on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Transfer to freezer bags for storing.

To use, in a small saucepan add tomato sauce and thin with a little chicken stock. Place the frozen meatballs in the pan and simmer for 20 minutes on low. Serve over pasta and enjoy!

___________________________________________________

I hope my meatball recipe helped to inspire your own "Do Us a Flavor" submission. I can't wait to see what delicious ideas everyone comes up with. Good luck!

Return to the Workforce with Help from Mom Corps YOU #MC

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Mom Corps YOU. I received a free trial to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

After my son was born I was really torn. I didn't want to return to work after maternity leave, but I was also fearful of dropping out of the job market for an extended period of time. What kind of job would I be able to find with a huge hole on my resume? Would I be able to re-enter the workplace smoothly?

Even though I am still looking after a baby at home, it has been over 6 years since I held a job outside the home. Now I work from home, but there are still challenges like keeping my professional and personal life balanced!  Luckily there are options to keep me ready and attractive to future employers when I am ready to start working again. The Mom Corps YOU site was created especially for people like me.

This is an online community with resources for improving career, finances, health and wellness. I was impressed with all the tools available on one site. I was the most excited about the recorded webinars from well known experts. I listened to Cali Yost's webinar Top Ten Tips for Work/Life "Balance" and I am looking forward to listening to one on resume building next.

As I mentioned before, I want to stay ready to go back to work if and when I need to, but currently my biggest obstacle is balancing my writing, freelance work and family. This site has tips, webinars, links to articles, etc. to help me with all of that.

I love that I am not alone using these resources. I have access to the discussion forums to connect with my fellow community members, there is live chat coaching available and they take questions during the bi-weekly webinars. And because my life isn't always predictable, the webinars are recorded so I can listen, or listen to them again, later.

Overall I have enjoyed sitting down and learning more about making myself more successful. This is a great resource for me. Over the past week I have scheduled a little time to explore and learn, but there is so much more to work on. I look forward to seeing what Mom Corps YOU will offer next.

Mom Corps YOU is available via an online subscription for an introductory annual price of $99.99 (regularly $149.99) or $19.99 a month.
