Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
As a blogger, I’m always looking for new companies to connect and work with. Having said that, anytime the subject of blogging comes up in conversation, I am always asked how you make money doing it and how you connect with companies. This can be a hard question to answer, especially if you are talking to someone who is unfamiliar with the concepts of blogging and online marketing. [Read more…]

I’m so happy things are finally warming up around here. That means it’s time for warm weather desserts, especially ice cream, shakes, and other frozen delights! In anticipation of the hot summer months, I’m featuring 5 COOL Drinks!
Guest Post Opportunity!! Speaking of the hot summer weather, last year I hosted a series of guest posts featuring summer recipes from our bloggy friends, and I’d love to continue that tradition this year! Your summer recipe could be a dessert (ice cream, pies, cakes, etc.) but it doesn’t have to be. Summer salads, barbecue recipes, and anything else summer related is also welcome. If you would like to be a part of my summer recipe series, please send an email to simplysweethome@hotmail.com and I’ll be sure to add you to my invite list! [Read more…]
If you’ve been a regular visitor to my blog and checked out my product reviews, you know that I am fan and user of Purex laundry products. Their detergent and fabric softeners do a great job keeping our clothes clean and fresh, and they smell great too. And they are also way more affordable compared to the other leading brands. One of the newest products from Purex is Purex No Sort. This product is exactly what it sounds like. It allows you to wash a load of clothes in any color without worrying about the colors fading on one another.
How does it work, you say? The detergent features a breakthrough Anti-Color-Transfer Technology™ which traps loose dyes in the wash and reduces color bleeding accidents in your mixed color loads leaving your clothes bright and clean.
The product has a nice, clean scent, and I think it did a great job on the clothes. I also love the concept of the product. In my household, my clothes are already basically presorted before the wash. I have a hamper for towels, a separate hamper for each person, and a small bin for whites. From there, I tend to wash the nicer clothes (blouses, dress shirts, and dress pants) on gentle cycle, separate from other clothes like jeans or pajamas which go on the ultra clean cycle.
Still even with this organized sorting method, I sometimes have to separate the laundry further if I have a new red shirt or some black items that I don’t want to put in with the lighter colors, so I think the detergent could come in handy for me, as it could mean less smaller loads to wash.
And I especially think the product would come in handy for people who are in a hurry and don’t have time to separate laundry, let alone wait for everything to wash in separate. And it would be like a blessing to those who have one or two hampers, where everything is all thrown in together.
So if you want to simplify your laundry routine, I recommend trying Purex No Sort.
Disclosure: As a Purex Insider, I received product samples and coupons for Purex No Sort. However, the opinions are my own.

If you’ve been a regular visitor to my blog, then you know I love my kitty cats! For the past 6 years, I’ve been mommy to 3 cats: Rebel, Sugar, and Dixie. Sadly we lost Dixie Belle last month (RIP Sweet Dixie Belle). Because of the unexpected loss of Dixie, I am even more keen on keeping my other two baby’s healthy, so I can have them around for a long time. Let me tell you all about my babies.
Any time we can, we like to work on do it yourself projects to improve our home inside and out. But sometimes I get a little intimidated at the prospects of certain projects. My biggest fear is that I will start a project and run in to a road block along the way. Potential road blocks include needing more tools and materials (which means I need to spend more money), getting in to a point in the project and finding that I don’t know what I’m doing or cannot complete the project, or “completing” the project but finding that I didn’t get the results I was looking for.
Gardening and landscaping are projects that are quite involved and can be intimidating. Not only do you have a lot of work to do in the hot sun while you dig in the dirt and carry heavy materials and supplies around, but at the end of the day, you are going to have something that everyone in the neighborhood will be seeing, so of course, you are hoping that it looks perfect.
