Bona Mop Review and Giveaway - Fall Home Event

Over the summer we had our kitchen floors redone. We had a leaky roof ruin the floors! We wanted to make sure that we kept the new floors clean as can be. I love cooking in a kitchen that has sparkling clean floors! We wanted to find a cleaner that had two things, a washable cleaning cloth and be non toxic cleaning formula. My son is always wanting to help me clean. I have to explain to him its for grown ups and he gets sad, the poor kid oddly loves to clean. He likes to feel like he is helping out his mom, so sweet! With mopping its normally a smelly and toxic mess! No good for kids to be around during that. My search begun for a floor mop that I could easily use in my home and not have to worry as much about my little guy wanting to be my helper. We decided on Bona and have been thrilled with the results.

Great info about Bona. These fact are the reason we selected a Bona Floor Cleaner for our home:

Bona reuses materials within their own production, and also design their products to reduce landfill clutter. The Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pads are machine washable up to 300 times, saving you money and protecting our shared environment.

Bona waterborne floor cleaners are safe for floors, families, and the environment. Bona's specially-developed non-toxic and biodegradeable formula also limits the harmful effects of downstream pollution.
Bona waterborne finishes have no toxic fumes and low VOC's so they are healthier for your family, pets, and the environment. In addition, there is no need to vacate your home during the finishing process due to fast dry times and easy water clean-up

 I liked how easy the floor mop is to use. Its light weight and the cleaning solution snaps right in and is ready to use by the pull of a trigger. Even my little guy was having fun cleaning the floor. I told my husband its so easy to use our toddler could do it! I know my mother in law could use one of these in her home too!

Plus you can tell people that your floor cleaner is Bona just like one NBA uses since Bona is the Official Hard Floor Care Partner of the NBA. How cool is that! Cleans you house and the courts of famous basketball players.

I really love that the pad is washable!

A Fall Favorite, Cozy Weekend Breakfasts

By Patricia

Are you a big breakfast eater? Are pancakes and bacon and waffles or eggs all a part of your daily morning routine?

I know that getting the kids and ourselves ready for the day can be so overwhelming, that even getting to eat a bowl of cold cereal can be a challenge. I remember the days of getting my own children ready for school and out the door, and trying to get something in their stomachs to start the day. It wasn't easy.

As fall approaches, I love the idea of a cozy weekend breakfast filled with all the classic favorites. Yummy pancakes dripping with butter and syrup can always make me weak in the knees. My father was never a man who cooked, like most men from his generation. But come fall, he would make us pancakes with grated apples and brown sugar in them every weekend.

I wish I had asked him how that pancake recipe came about, I'm sure there was a story there somewhere, but I never did. But I fondly remember those pancakes, and the site of him on a Saturday morning wearing my Mother's apron and making them for all of us.

A cozy weekend breakfast filled with family and good food nourishes not just our bodies, but our souls as well. Fall is the perfect time to start a tradition that you and your family will remember for years to come. Just the way I remember my Dad's apple pancakes.

Frugal Finds: Yard Sale

This weekend we are having a yard sale. I thought its a great time to sell some things we no longer need to have money for things we now need. I am very much the type of person who thinks out with the old in with the new. My neighbor is also having a huge yard sale and I have been over there a few times. She has awesome stuff! Her and her husband are estate sale and flea market shoppers and man do they find great stuff!! She had a beautiful mirror for sale and I came back out to ask her about it and it was gone! But replaced with another one similar to it. She has a replenishing yard sale, so cool!!! I told her I would be back on Sunday with some of my money to see what else she has.

I found the coolest little book ends for only $1. The store price tag on the said $40. A great little find for my room. I want to do something with them more colorful or fun, not sure what yet.

Have you found any great yard sale or thrift finds this weekend? 

What would you do to these squirrels?

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 Movie Review and Giveaway

My son and the way he adores dogs makes me laugh. I am sure that is how my own Mom felt when I was little. I wanted to save every dog I saw and loved all animals. My son has inherited that from me. Dogs are one of his favorite animals there is. He even acts like one and will randomly bark at people. (If my son has barked at you before so sorry he silly he is just speaking to you in puppy lol)

We love to watch dog movies together. This week we had a blast watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3. We made cheese quesadillas and cinnamon and sugar quesadilla for our movie treat. My son loved the music in this movie too. My boy loves to dance! He was tummy rumbling giggling when he saw the 3 Mariachis dogs singing and playing musical instruments. Its a cute movie about kids growing up and needing space but always still needing their family.

Walt Disney Studios proudly unleashes Hollywood’s renowned pack of celebrity Chihuahua stars in the hilarious all-new movie “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3,” releasing on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and Digital on September 18, 2012.

Everyone’s favorite talking Chihuahuas Papi (voice of George Lopez) and Chloe (voice of Odette Annable ) are back, joined by their five playful pups in an all-new family comedy. It’s canine chaos as Papi’s family (dog and human) move into the posh Langham Hotel, complete with a luxurious doggy spa. But there’s trouble in puppy paradise when Rosa, the littlest member of the pack, feels smaller and less special than ever. Now it’s up to Papi to help Rosa find – and celebrate – her inner strength, which turns out to be bigger than she ever dreamed and reminds humans and canines alike of the importance of family, friends and teamwork.
