Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover {Review & Giveaway}

I received a bottle of one of the newest products from the Soft Scrub family called Soft Scrub Mold & Mildew Stain Remover Gel Cleaner. It is made for tile, grout, showers and bath tubs.

The gel formula is made to cling to surfaces to penetrate and remove though stains without any harsh fumes or overspray. I actually really like how it sprays. It is thick enough to cling but thin enough to spray easily. 

It does not have those harsh bleach fumes like most mold and mildew removing cleaners. This makes for a much more pleasant cleaning experience. I like using the stream spray to pinpoint those small cracks that mildew likes to grow in the bathroom. It leaves behind a bright clean that makes me happy.

New French's Flavor Infuser Marinades, Just in time for BBQ season!

As part of a promotional program with The Mommy Factor (http://www.mommyfactor.net/) and French’s, I receive product samples for review purposes. No other compensation was received. Views
expressed are always 100% my own.


The temperatures are finally starting to warm up and barbecue season is kicking off. French's, the mustard company we have known for many years, has come out with a new product that is perfect for grilling season. Introducing French's Flavor Infuser Marinades. I received a couple of these marinades to test out in my kitchen.

The marinade is uniquely packaged in a tube complete with an infuser tip made to penetrate your meat to distribute the flavors from within. I tried the Zesty Italian flavor first on some chicken drumsticks. The product is very easy to use. All you do is remove the seal, replace the infuser tip, press the infuser tip into your meat and squeeze lightly in different spots. 

It was very easy to do and I squeezed some of the remaining marinade on the outside of my chicken. Because I did a small amount of chicken, there was still enough marinade left for a few more pieces. I will have to keep that in mind when I use the next one since these are intended for one time use. I let it sit for the 10 minutes recommended on the package.

I was not able to grill my chicken so I did the next best thing, roasted it in a cast iron pan on the convection setting of my oven. It came out nice and brown and my family enjoyed how juicy and flavorful the chicken tasted.

I think this product is perfect for at-home cookouts, camping, beach-side cooking or even to travel if you are staying in a place with a kitchen. The marinade contains enough flavor that eliminates the need to add anything else. This makes for a very quick and easy process. French's Flavor Infuser Marinades come in 4 flavors and can be found on the marinade aisle of your grocery store and can be used on a variety of proteins.

Lysol Power & Free Multi Purpose Spray Review #spon

I love to clean. I know most people would say that I'm crazy, but I really do enjoy it. I find cleaning to be therapeutic when I have too much on my mind. Being a busy mom of 3, I ALWAYS have too much on my mind! I received a bottle of Lysol Power & Free Multi Purpose Spray to try out in my home. I am a long time Lysol product user and was excited about this particular item. Lysol Power & Free Multi Purpose Spray is a powerful cleaner without the harshness of bleach, and can be used on many surfaces throughout the home.The hydrogen peroxide formula releases thousands of micro bubbles that penetrate to dissolve grease and soap scum. The first place I tested it out on was in my bathroom in the tub. I use very moisturizing products in the shower, so they tend to leave a residue behind. I sprayed some of the Power & Free cleaner on a small area and let it sit for about 30 seconds. It had a very light, mild scent. I was able to wipe the dirt and grime off completely and didn't even have to scrub hard. I ended up cleaning my entire tub quickly without the harsh chemical odor that I am used to with bathroom cleaners.
Here are some product facts about Lysol Power & Free Multi Purpose Spray:

We got a moss ball!

Did  you see this post last week? If so, then this post will make sense to you. I got a moss ball for the fish tank. It is so nice to see the pretty glass pebbles instead of that icky algae. If the moss balls weren't $8 each, I would have gotten about 3. We will see how it goes. So far all of the fish haven't bothered it and it looks cool. It reminds me of a felt ball. Let's hope it helps to keep the algae out of the tank :) 

Do you have any experience with moss balls?
