10 Great Uses for Vaseline!

As most families we have always kept a jar of Vaseline in our house. I bet their is one somewhere in yours. I know growing up I never really understood what all the hype was about Vaseline till I became a mother. This year is Vaseline's 140th Anniversary! In like of that I would like to share my 10 uses for Vaseline in my house.

!. Use on a rectal thermometer. Great lubricate to help ease that thermometer in pain free.

2. Remove tight rings. Apply a little around the edges of the ring and it will come off pain free.

3. Great relief for a chap face. Your face ever get wind chapped in the winter? My kids do and this works great at helping ease the pain and heal the skin.

4. Removing gum from hair. I am sure every parent has faced this problem at some time or other. Rub a good amount of Vaseline through the hair near the gum. The Vaseline will remove all the gum.

5. Great as chap stick. You ever get chapped lips during the winter? Just apply a little Vaseline and bye bye chap lips.

6. Keep baby bottom soft and rash free. Apply a little to baby's bottom and it will keep diaper rash away and keep it soft as well.

7. Stop squeaky door hinges. This works great especially if you have no WD-40 available. My husband applied some to my car door hinges and bye bye squeak. This also works great on any door hinge.

8. Soften up dry heels. Just apply Vaseline to the bottom of your dry cracked heels. Then put on a pair of socks and go to bed.

9. Apply to nails as a cuticle softener. Just rub a little bit on each nail and it softens those cuticles right up.

10. Mix with sea salts to make a hand or body scrub.

My husband who is a mechanic uses it to help lube bearings.

So, what are some ways you use Vaseline?

Thursday's Blog Hops!

Bum Essentials Review and Giveaway!

I have recently got the pleasure of reviewing Bum Essentials Bumbino. It's a one size diaper that fits from 8-34 lbs. This diaper has snaps in the front to adjust the rise size to fit your little one. It has aplix closures to ensure that great fit.

The Bum Essentials Bumbino is designed to be used with a "set" of interchangeable, snap-in "terry towel" Bum Essentials Bum Pads. While the Bumbino has the ease of an all in one diaper (AIO), and the flexible absorption capability of a pocket diaper, it is neither. The Bum Essentials Bumbino is a two-piece, reusable cloth diaper system.

These diapers come with two different sized "terry towel" pads snaped together. That way you can determine the size and amount of absorbancy you need. The inside of the waterproof, Bumbino shell is lined with a soft microfleece; the inside stays dry so the shell can be re-used.

Because the soaker snaps in and isn't sewn in it has faster wash and dry time. Which is always a plus! I love how soft the inside and soaker pads are that touch my little one. The only thing I do wish they had was the option for snap closures instead of just aplix. As it's easier for a little one to undo their diaper with aplix then snaps. But other than that this diaper works great!

Bum Essentials is offering one of my lucky readers a Bumbino of their very own. (no choice of color)

ReThink Crafts Diaper Cover Review

I am always on the look out for cute cloth diapering covers. It's one way to make your babies cloth diapering bum look cute! Who can resist!

I recently found ReThink Crafts. She started making these covers out of necessity when she realized that the more diaper covers she had, the less laundry she would have to do each week.

Diapers Covers are a very affordable way to cloth diaper. You can re-use covers multiple times before washing them... and can use simple pre-folds in them instead of expensive fitteds. The cost of pre-folds can be as little as $1.00 a piece on some websites.

I really love all the different fabrics she uses. The great thing is she does customs! So you don't see something just contact her. I do have to say if you have a chunky baby I would size up. These diaper covers are very trim so they won't fit over every fitted cloth diaper.

I received this cute farm animals print in a size medium for review. I really love the trimness of it. This diaper cover is perfect for prefolds that is for sure. These diaper covers go for $13. I don't know about you but I love supporting WAHMs and handmade items.

 

So, if you are looking for some cute diaper covers check out ReThink Crafts.

The non-battery operated spray trigger allows you to dispense as much or as little solution needed to clean your floor.

 

I received a Rubbermaid Reveal Mop with the mop, bottle, and 3 microfiber pads. This mop if bought online only comes with on mircofiber pad. My kids where excited when we received this product for sure! They all wanted to try it out but I being the mom decided to use it first. I have to say I love it.

Little Diva Tutus Review and Giveaway!



If you got a little girl or a big girl for that matter you should check out Little Diva Tutus! Little Diva Tutus is located in the beautiful mountains of Southern California. They cater to little divas and princesses everywhere.  At Little Diva Tutus, they have an innovative range of trendy designs that suit all ages, from an adorable new baby girl to a trendsetting teen or adult! All their tutus are created from high quality US made fabric, giving a soft and delicate fullness to your tutu. Moreover, their attractive range of tutus start at $21.99 each.

I recently received a cute custom Little Diva Tutus for my little one. I loved the fact that I could pick the colors I wanted! You can chose up to 7 different colors with options for rhinestones or matching leg warmers. Of course my little ones love it! It was actually from my soon to be 3yr old but my 17 month old wanted to wear it too.

They both love wearing the tutu and twirling around in it of course. My almost 3 yr old is for sure the Diva of the two. She came in after I took several pictures and told my other kids that she gave me some attitude pictures.

Another great thing is they have tutus in teen and adult sizes! They also carry hair accessories as well as items for your little boys!

Little Diva Tutus is offering one of my lucky readers a $25 gift certificate!

Monday Blog Hops!

I am being featured on Meet Me Monday over at Inspiring You to Save!

Potty Training!

I mentioned awhile back that I was going to start working on potty training my youngest who is now 17 months. Well, we started off hit and miss. I would take her every 30 mins. She would go and wake up dry from naps. Which is great!

Well now she tells me when she has to go! She is not a talker like my others but she does sign. So, now she signs when she has to go potty. She don't always tell me all the time but we are down to maybe one wet diaper a day. How great is that? She hasn't got the pooping down in the potty but just while ago she signed she had to potty. Guess what! She pooped! Yay for success!

I was feeling bad before because I had really slacked with potty training her because my 2 1/2 yr old was fully potty trained by 18 months with no accidents. So, I beat myself up over that. But now I am on the ball and Praise God she is doing great!

Of course potty training you always have good and bad days. That's to be excpected. So, to all you other moms out their potty training just stick with it. Consistence is the key!

Hormel Review and Giveaway!

Hormel  has a variety of mealtime and snack options that are perfect for busy mornings, crowded evenings and even to stash in your purse or car when you’re on-the-go. I recently recieved a BUILT Market Tote, Plastic, BPA-Free Water Bottle,  product samples of CHI-CHI’S® SNACKERS® and Hormel® pepperoni minis snac pacs, Hormel® bacon toppings, and coupons for Hormel® Natural Choice® deli meats.

So why spend your entire morning making a lunch that will keep you going all afternoon. You can whip up a satisfying salad or sandwich that tastes great and is easy to bring along to work. Top a veggie-laden chef salad with your favorite cheese and a handful of Hormel® bacon toppings or top toasted whole-grain bread with the new varieties of Hormel® Natural Choice® lunch meat in brown sugar deli ham or mesquite deli turkey.

 Salsa is quickly becoming the go-to condiment for kids and adults alike. For mild, hot and everything in between, CHI-CHI’S® Snackers® are the perfect on-the-go snack that comes in convenient 4-ounce single serving cups. Dip into them with chips or fresh, vegetable sticks for a snack that packs a healthy punch. To shake up your sandwich routine, swap salsa for mayonnaise and add a little kick to your midday meal.

Let your mini sous chef step in: Ready to get inspired by your after-school snacker? Hormel® turkey pepperoni minis lend themselves to a world of snack time creativity. Have your kids join in on the fun and make English muffin pizzas, peppy pasta salad, or even pop them straight from the bag – we won’t tell!

 

All of these products are delicious! I really love how the turkey pepperoni minis are individually packed! I actually add those to a salad with the yummy real bacon bits! Let me say it was great! I love these bacon bits! They are the best bacon bits I have ever tasted. The salsa was excellent as well. I was really happy with all of Hormel Foods products! The BUILT market tote has a lot of room which is why I love it so much!

 

You know the best part is! Hormel is offering one of my lucky readers the same lunch kit I recieved!
