Naturally Clean {Clorox Green Works review}

I love the feeling of a sparkling clean house. I love how calming the effect is, how clean it smells, but unfortunately not how long it stays clean. With a toddler ruling the roost, it seems that the clean house feeling lasts… until he wakes up from his nap, which is usually when I get to clean. However, having the right stuff to clean with is just as important as actually cleaning. I recently was given the opportunity to try some of Clorox Green Works line of naturally based cleaners and I must say, I think I’m converted! They generously sent me the all purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, laundry detergent, and cleaning wipes to try! I was super impressed with all of them!

Let me tell you a little bit about the Green Works brand of Clorox, the cleaning brand we all know and trust!

A balanced, natural lifestyle begins with a clean home. That’s why the people at Clorox got to work on a line of products that clean powerfully without harsh chemical fumes or residue.

something wonderful at work

The team behind Green Works® took it up as a personal cause. We knew that moms like us were looking for ways to live a more natural lifestyle — and we made it our mission to help them achieve this goal.

ingredients for success

The first task at hand? We had to find a formula that was naturally derived, affordable — and worked great. First, we started with what we knew best — how to make things clean. Then we figured out how to make the components of that formula naturally derived.

putting the “green” in Green Works®

At the time, there was no industry standard for natural, so we looked at some existing definitions and set the bar even higher. Our products:

Are made with plant- and mineral-based cleaning ingredients.
Come from biodegradable ingredients that are naturally derived
Are not tested on animals.
Use environmentally sustainable packaging whenever possible.
Are acknowledged by the EPA’s Design for the Environment program.

I was super impressed with how great a job the all purpose cleaner and bath room cleaner did. Just a couple sprays tackled everything from dried spaghetti sauce on the stove to soap scum in the bathroom sink! The laundry detergent left my clothes smelling super fresh, and since the ingredients are all natural, I don’t worry about my little guys sensitive skin! The wipes did wonders! They easily picked up mess after mess that I threw at it. These all stood up to the jobs I threw at them, but I kind of thought they would. The thing that really impressed me is that it did so with cleansers based from coconut and essential oils. Now that is something impressive! Like I mentioned earlier, I may just have been converted and may be ready to get rid of my other, chemically heavy cleaners! These cleaners are REAL Mom Recommended and with a kiddo running around the house, this is just something that puts my mind at rest! Thanks Green Works!

Clorox Green Works can be found at retailers nationwide!

When you hear the word chocolate, do you become overwhelmed with feelings of warmth, passion, intense cravings and excitement? If so, you might be a chocoholic. Rather than remain in denial, it’s about time you fessed up to your love of the cocoa bean. This Valentine’s Day, embrace your infatuation for chocolate desserts and delight your lover at the same time by making one of these irresistible chocolate cakes.

The following cake recipes can also be paired with other great gifts, including a beautiful bouquet of Valentine’s Day flowers, a personalized gift, elegant jewelry or a gift certificate from a luxury salon or spa. Give as little or as much as you wish to your sweetie—just make sure you give it with all your heart. V-Day is a special time to acknowledge those you love, so make it count this year with these delicious chocolate desserts.

1) Fudgy Chocolate Layer Cake

Servings: 18

Ingredients

1 pkg. (8 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate, divided

1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix

1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) chocolate pudding

4 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup water

1 tub (8 oz.) whipped topping (Do not thaw.)

2 Tbsp. sliced almonds

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

Chop 2 chocolate squares. Beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil and water in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Stir in chopped chocolate. Pour into 2 (9-inch) round pans sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Loosen cakes from sides of pans. Invert onto wire racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.

Microwave whipped topping and remaining chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl on high 1-1/2 minutes or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 1 minute. Let stand 15 minutes to thicken.

Stack cake layers on plate, filling and frosting with whipped topping mixture. Sprinkle with nuts. Keep refrigerated.

Tip for Baking Chocolate Cakes

While a fudge cake is fabulously fattening, you can also make a low-fat version of this recipe that’s just as tasty by using fat-free chocolate pudding, reduced-fat sour cream and light whipped topping.

————————————————————————-

2) Chocolate-Smothered Oreo Cake

Servings: 16

Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) devil’s food cake mix

4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate

1/4 cup butter

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups thawed whipped topping

12 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed

Directions

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Prepare cake batter and bake in 2 (9-inch) round pans as directed on package. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes. Invert onto wire racks; gently remove pans. Cool cakes completely.

Microwave chocolate and butter in small microwaveable bowl on high 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in whipped topping and crushed cookies.

Place 1 cake layer on plate, spread with cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top with chocolate glaze; let stand 10 minutes or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

Tip for Baking Chocolate Cakes

If your sweetheart is staying true to his or her resolve to lose weight, divide the cake into smaller slices beforehand to keep temptation at bay. As long as the portions are controlled, an occasional splurge is okay (and even advised).

—————————————————————————————

3) Triple-the-Chocolate Cake

Servings: 18

Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix

1 cup sour cream

1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) chocolate pudding

4 eggs

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup water

3 cups thawed whipped topping, divided

1 pkg. (8 squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate

1-1/2 cups fresh raspberries

Directions

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Beat all ingredients except whipped topping, chocolate squares and berries in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Pour into 12-cup fluted tube pan or 10-inch tube pan sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Loosen cake from sides of pan; invert onto wire rack. Gently remove pan. Cool cake completely. Transfer to plate.

Reserve 2 Tbsp. whipped topping. Microwave remaining whipped topping and chocolate squares in microwaveable bowl on high 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after each minute. Drizzle over cake. Immediately drop scant teaspoonfuls of the reserved whipped topping around top of cake; draw toothpick through center of each to resemble star. Fill center of cake with berries. Keep refrigerated.

Tip for Baking Chocolate Cakes

When baking a cake, the cake pan should never be more than 3/4 full to allow enough room for rising. Begin testing the cake for doneness eight minutes before the timer goes off.

————————————————————————————-

4) Chocolate Molten Cake with Peanut Butter

Servings: 10

Ingredients

4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate

1/2 cup butter

1 cup powdered sugar

2 whole eggs

2 egg yolks

6 Tbsp. flour

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese, softened

3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

1/4 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup thawed whipped topping

Directions

Heat oven to 425°F.

Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on high 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted. Stir with whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in powdered sugar. Blend in whole eggs and egg yolks. Stir in flour; set aside. Mix cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla until well blended.

Pour half the chocolate batter into 1-qt. souffle dish sprayed with cooking spray; cover with layers of cream cheese mixture and remaining chocolate batter.

Bake 20 minutes or until edge is set but center is still slightly soft. Cool slightly. Serve topped with whipped topping.

Tip for Baking Chocolate Cakes

For a little variation to this cake recipe, use custard cups instead of a souffle dish and layer batters as directed. Then, put the cups on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for approximately 13–14 minutes. (The edges of custard cups should be set while centers are somewhat soft.) Makes 7 servings.

—————————————————————-

5) Rich Mahogany Sour Cream Cake

Servings: 16

Ingredients

3 squares unsweetened baking chocolate

1/2 cup water

1 container (8 oz.) sour cream

2/3 cup butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

Chocolate frosting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans. Cover bottoms of pans with wax paper. Grease and flour wax paper; set aside. Microwave chocolate and water in medium microwaveable bowl on high 1 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after each minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted; cool completely. Stir in sour cream.

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with the chocolate mixture, beating after each addition until well blended. Add vanilla; mix well. Pour evenly into prepared pans.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Fill and frost with chocolate frosting.

Tip for Baking Chocolate Cakes

Want to enhance the taste of your chocolate cake even more? Add a half-cup of freshly brewed gourmet coffee to the recipe to intensify the chocolate flavoring. If your Valentine is a coffee lover, serve this dessert with a fresh cup of Joe also.

My hubby loves his pop. Whenever you see him, I am pretty sure you see him with a pop in hand. While he loves it, and even though I think it’s not a healthy thing to drink all the time (we are working on him cutting back)…..it does make for an expensive bill every time we have to buy a 24 pack of it at the store.

Enter the Primo Flavorstation 100. Now, he can make his own drinks from the convenience of the kitchen counter with his very own drink machine. This should help us save money in the new year.

I am very excited to give it to him on Christmas morning and see what he thinks of it! It looks easy to use and I am sure the kids will enjoy using it too! We can make classic sodas and even sparkling fruit teas and waters. Sounds like fun and a great way to save some hard earned money this coming year.

Keep Talkin’ Oh Keep Talkin’ {Greased Lightning Multipurpose review}

I will be the first person to admit I don’t like to clean my own house. Some people enjoy cleaning, find it therapeutic, a time for thinking, whatever… Not me! I will say though that if I get good and mad at my Hubby, I tend to go into a cleaning frenzy! We don’t get too upset at each other though, so my house doesn’t get that fringe benefit very often! I think part of my problem may be that I have never found products that actually make cleaning easy. Cleaning? Easy? More like endless hours scrubbing stuff that never seems to come all the way off… like the grime that gets caught in the microwave vents? Ya’ll know what I’m talking about?? Well, my life was recently changed. I discovered Greased Lightning Orange Blast back in the summer. I threw all my kitchen woes at it and it worked like a dream. Caked on kitchen grime begone!! It practically wiped off!! Well, knowing how well that G.L worked, I jumped at the chance to try Greased Lightning multipurpose! I am getting my house ready to be gone for three weeks, and Saturday was bathroom day. I grabbed my G.L. and off I went. The bottle says it can:

Cut through grime on stove vents, ovens and microwaves.
Remove red wine, pet stains and dirt from everyday traffic on carpets.
Use as a laundry pretreat for tough stains including grease, grass and ink.
Tackle soap scum and mildew stains in the shower.
Revitalize patio furniture by removing dirt and outdoor debris.

I decided to see how it stacks up in the bathroom. I was very impressed. I used it to clean my sinks and floors… yes… it took the hairspray residue that tends to buildup on the floor right off! It shined my chrome and cleaned effortlessly. I even used it to clean my tub and it made the “tub ring” that I hadn’t even noticed until right before I cleaned it disappear! Very, very impressive! It would make a great addition to have in your arsenal to tackle all those messes that come with the holidays! It would even make a great white elephant gift too!! I haven’t had a chance to try it for other things yet, but I read through some of the testimonials from other users and here’s what they are saying! It took lipstick out of whites that had already been washed AND dried in the dryer! Now that is impressive!! I will definitely be adding this to my arsenal of cleaning products… it may well replace most of my other things! Greased Lightning is REAL Mom Recommended and can be found nationwide at select retailers or online! Thanks Greased Lightning!

Healthy and Homemade {Mumi & Bubi solids starter kit review}

When my little munchkin was born… well, even before he was born, I decided I was going to go the homemade baby food route. I remember feeding my little sister (ten years my junior) jarred baby food and thinking how horrible it looked and smelled… I never had the courage to actually taste it! Maybe that’s where the seed was planted, in my 10 yr. old brain! Needless to say, when the time came for my own child, I decided I wanted to make my own. I had a solid starter kit on my baby registry but never received it and never went back to get it. When the time for solids rolled around, I just used ice cube trays or cookie sheets. It worked OK, but I always had to remember to go back within a couple hours and put all the cubes and “piles” in zip-lock freezer bags to they didn’t get freezer burned. The other thing I didn’t like about the cookie trays, and I used them more because I only had a couple ice cube trays, is that I could never tell exactly how much each pile had. I eyeballed it hoped for the best. Too much and it was wasted (and I HATED to waste food I had put effort into!), too little and baby was still hungry, but not hungry enough for another whole pile…. you see the dilemma. Well, I am happy to say that for the next time around, I will be prepared! I recently had the opportunity to check out an awesome solids starter kit from Mumi & Bubi. This thing is a dream come true!

It is a tray that holds 21, so you get 42 with both trays. Each slot holds a 1 oz. portion, perfect for babies from 6 months on up! It has a snug fit locking lid so you can just leave everything in the trays and don’t have to worry about spill, contamination or freezer burn! No transferring from sheet to bag and so forth! The trays stack together, so you can get maximum storage from your freezer space! The trays also have an easy release design. Simply push on one end of the cube and it will slide out the other end! No fighting and twisting involved!

The Solids Starter Kit™ trays have  been especially designed for freezing baby food. They are made in New Zealand from non-toxic, virgin polypropylene – PP5 – and are top-shelf dishwasher-safe. For your peace of mind, the material of the trays are certified free of phthalates, BPA, and PVC.

I can’t wait to try this out with baby number 2! Not only is making your own baby food a nutritionally superior choice, but it also saves lots of $$ too! These would make the perfect gift for a new Mom, or Dad who is ambitious to help in the kitchen! Happy pureeing!! Thanks Mumi & Bubi! This solids starter kit is definitely REAL Mom Recommended and can be purchased online!

The Gift of Health {Union Springs Wellness gift basket review & giveaway}

We all know how fun the holidays are! They are a time for seeing family, some we only get to see once or twice a year! We all love the parties that go with the holidays too! It is time when we all get together and mingle, catching up, telling stories, snuggling by the fire or watching movies late at night. I would say I love the holidays because I see family I am very close to but unfortunately they live far away. However, what do all the above have in common that may not be so joyous? With all that mingling together brings the opportunity for germs to mingle and get spread too! That is always my fear is that I will get sick over the holidays and then it will get spread through the house, or… even worse… someone else will get sick and I will end up another casualty! However, there is a solution in the fight against germs! Union Springs Wellness is a company that is on a quest to offer comprehensive protection against all the areas where germs can get us!!

MyClyns 360° Germ Protection System

Accessing total wellness

Introducing, the first and only germ protection system offering unparalleled germ defense for your family everywhere, all the time.

The revolutionary MyClyns® 360° Germ Protection System is made up of specifically designed products that help families protect themselves against potentially dangerous viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens that are spread by three primary modes of transmission:

Contact with an infected person
Eating contaminated food
Contact with contaminated surfaces

A problem that won’t go away

With the advent of antibiotics, scientists made sweeping predictions heralding the end of death and suffering from infectious diseases. During the past 25 years, however, germs have demonstrated their tremendous ability to adapt and survive.

In the United States, two of the 10 leading causes of death are infectious diseases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 160,000 Americans die each year with an infectious disease as the underlying cause of death.*

Until recently, the commitment and resources needed to sustain an active community defense against infectious diseases has waned. Faith in antibiotics and vaccines led to a downward spiral in public health spending and essential surveillance and laboratory systems did not keep pace with available technology. Cutbacks in prevention programs, lack of trained staff, and weak outbreak detection systems, for a time, allowed infectious diseases to gain a strong foothold in the United States and abroad.

We’ve got you covered

Anticipating and coping with these microbial threats requires vigilance. That’s where Union Springs Wellness — with its revolutionary MyClyns® 360° Germ Protection System — comes in. Our structured approach to germ-protection is the most complete solution for families concerned about their total wellness against emerging and reemerging infectious diseases.

Between our Personal Protection Products that you and your family use while on the go, and our Surface Cleaners and Treatments that you can use on all your surfaces at home, in the car, at the office or any other environment you can think, and Food Washthat helps protect the food you eat we’ve got you covered.

I recently was generously given the exclusive gift basket to try out. It came with the Myclens surface wipes, hand sanitizer, fabric freshener, food wash and germ protection spray. Very conveniently, my little guy had thrown up on the couch the day before I got these. I had tried the standard carpet spot remover on it the night before and that horrible odor still remained. I put the fabric freshener right to work as soon as I got it! I did have to apply it twice, but I am happy to report it took care of the smell and left a surprising light, refreshing fragrance behind. I don’t like overly strong cleaning smells! The hand sanitizer is great too because it is odor free and absorbs almost instantly so there is no film left to rub in! This basket would make a wonderful gift because it is not only something totally out of the ordinary, it is also very thoughtful and practical…hhmmm…I can think of multiple people on my list that I need something thoughtful and practical for! This basket is REAL Mom Recommended and I am looking forward to the other great products I received!! Thanks Union Springs Wellness!

If you pack a lunch for your children for school then I am sure you have had this dilema….”how do I keep everything cold until it’s time for them to eat?” As a mom many times I have used simple ice packs only to find they only last an hour or two. Then my food is warm and I usually have to throw it out.

A simple way to save yourself headache after headache of spoiled lunches. The PackIt lunch box is the ice pack itself. You simply put in your food and it keeps it cold for up to 10 hours! WOW!
