September 2011 - Operation Grandparents!

This past month, the boys and I decided to pick an odd ball holiday and send their Grandparents a special little treat. We call it Operation Grandparents. This month we choice National Coffee Day which fell on Sept 29th. We decided to make cards and paint tiles to be used as tiles. I just love how they turned out.




We have heard from all three sets of Grandparents, they all enjoyed to receive a package in the mail that was sent to tell them to have a great day.

For October, we decided to celebrate National Chocolate day :)

If you want to join us in Operation Grandparents, please feel free. Submit a comment with a link to your post and photos. Lets make sure Grandparents know how much the mean to the next upcoming generation.

Thank you Honeybunny! We used tile that you would use on a floor, 4x4 inches. I found them at a garage sale 35 for one dollar :). and we used poster paints, let it dry then sealed it with clear spray on paint.

A Product Review and my first GIVEAWAY!!

Image
Today I received a full size bottle of Purex Complete with Zout Triple Enzyme Stain Remover. The scent is Fresh Morning Burst. I am a scent orientated person, so the first thing I did was to open the bottle and smelled it. It smells so fresh and clean, I could not wait to give it a try. Four loads of laundry later, I can say that I truly love this product!! As a busy mother of two busy boys, I often miss stains on clothes before they are put into the drier and set for life. Then another piece of clothing heads for the rag bag. I love that the pretreatment is included in the product, no extra step. It works for HE and front loading machines. AND now for the giveaway, I will have two winners for coupons for a free product. Please leave me a comment about why you want to try the product. The giveaway will end on March 31 at 8:00PM EST and I will announce the winners.
