Roto-Rooter Gel Clog Remover

We live in an older home, and as a result, we’ve been no stranger to plumbing problems!  When we first moved in to our home, we attempted to cut off many problems at the pass by converting the plumbing from a septic system to a city sewer system.  Unfortunately we still experienced a lot of problems with clogging in our sinks and bathtub, as well as leaky pipes.  My husband has had to work on these several times, but last year things got so bad that we  had to call out the guys at Roto-Rooter.  They did a great job of replacing some old copper pipes, which has prevented us from having anymore major clogging issues.  But like anyone, we still experience the occasional clogs, and for that all you need is Roto-Rooter Gel Clog Remover®.

Roto-Rooter has been a trusted name in plumbing for 80 years.  Now they have a line of sewer and septic products for home and professional use with more active ingredients than other brands.  The Roto-Rooter line of products includes their Gel Clog Remover, Hair Clog Remover, and Septic Treatment.

Fighting Stains with BIZ

As a wife and mom, I am always washing clothes.  It’s one chore that I definitely don’t mind doing on my own, because I like to make sure that everyone’s clothes look perfect!  I’m particular about how things get sorted; I’m particular about the cycles our clothes get washed with, and of course, I’m particular about what products get used to clean our clothes!  Most recently I’ve started using BIZ® as our stain fighter.  Biz was the first enzyme based pre-soak and color-safe bleach

I deal with a variety of stains.  As you know, my husband is basically a professional Mr. Fix-It, so he’s always out working on something, whether it’s a car, a lawn mower, or an appliance, so he’s always coming in with dirt, oil, and grease on his clothes. [Read more…]

Taking Care of Sick Loved Ones

So many people have made Cottonelle® Fresh Care* Flushable Cleansing Cloths a must-have item for their bathrooms.  As the lady of our house, I know I love them, so much so that I’ve found ways to use them go beyond the application for which they were originally intended!  For example, they are great to carry along in your purse or car for those times when you find yourself in a messy or sticky situation.   And if you or a loved one are sick or injured, they can be an essential aid to help clean and freshen up. Today I’ll be talking about that particular use, and I’ll show you how to set up a care station to help your sick or injured loved one have everything they need to get through their day.

Rethink Your Hair Color This Spring

I love spring!  It is the season of renewal, and as the flowers and trees come in to bloom, we follow suit, deep cleaning and re-organizing our houses.  Spring is also the perfect time to renew and freshen up our personal style.  It’s a great time to update our wardrobes with spring colors and trends, and it’s a fun time to experiment with new makeup and hair styles!  I know I’ve seen some really cute tops that I’d love to buy, and I’m definitely due for a hair cut soon, but this spring, I’m also rethinking my hair color.  No, I’m not planning on going blonde or turning in to a red head; I LOVE being a brunette!  But I am going to experiment this spring with John Frieda Brilliant Brunette® Visibly Brighter™  hair products.

DIY Cat Scratcher Tutorial and Cats Pride

Today we have another fun post starring the Simply Sweet Home Cats! Yay!  Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE my baby cats and would do anything for them.  And I have to say, I think I’m very lucky to have a couple of really good-natured and well behaved cats!  But like all relationships, a relationship between a cat mommy and her cats can get quite interesting!  For example, my sweet Sugar cat likes to cuddle, but only on her terms, and she will give you a very small love bite when she’s ready to stop.  Meanwhile, Rebels love to lounge around, and he often chooses to make clothing, backpacks, purses, and anything that’s new his bed (and every now & then he likes to scratch on things)!
