My Review:

When it comes to cleaning my house I always clean my bathrooms first.  I feel better about my whole house knowing it is sparkling clean and smells fresh.

Soft Scrub Mold and Mildew Stain remover makes the job easy.  I spray it on my tub and shower then turn the nozzle to a stream and place on mildew on my caulking and around the rim of the toilet.  I let it sit while I cleaned mirrors, wiped counters, etc.. Then I did a quick wipe up (no scrubbing needed). It worked REALLY well at removing  soap scum and build up on the tub and tile.  The mildew on the caulking has been there a while even though it didn't totally remove it the first time around it did improve its appearance.   I loved the fresh smell and my sparkling, white bathroom.  This is a must have on my cleaning supplies list.

Dial Kids Body & Hair Review and Giveaway

I look forward to bath time in our house. Not only does it mean bedtime is approaching but I love the family time it allows. It forces you to sit still in one room together and just talk and play. And I love how clean my babies smell afterwards. Lately we have been using Dial Kids Body and Hair wash at bath time and it makes them smell "peachy clean" just like the scent. The fact that it is a wash and shampoo in one makes cleaning my kids easier than before and it is safe for their sensitive skin. Win-win!

Both products come in yummy smells, Peach Clean for the younger kids and Watery Melon and Berry Cool for the older kids.

Soft Scrub 4-1 Toilet Care Giveaway

I love a clean bathroom but hate to clean toilets (don't we all).  I am always looking for products that are long lasting and easy.  Purex sent me a free sample of Soft Scrub 4 -1 Toilet Care to try in my house.
Its 4 -1 design:
                     cleans toilets
                     prevents future buildup
                     fights toilet ring
                     freshens up to 4 weeks

 Soft Scrub 4-in-1 Toilet Care provides long lasting cleaning and freshening thanks to its unique design and advance formula. The plastic cage keeps the product in place and allows water to activate the cleaner with each flush.
 
I am a big Soft Scrub fan and use many of their products however this will not be one of them.  For one, I generally do not like products that hang in my toilet.  I thought the gizmo was big and fit awkwardly over the rim of the toilet.  Second, the Alpine Scent (with bleach) has a very strong, unpleasant bleach odor.  Lastly, after a week I have not noticed any improvement in the cleanliness of my toilet.
On the plus side, it is easy to install and inexpensive.  It is available in You can find this product at WalMart for around $2.00.

 Kid Kaper readers can enter win a coupon for a free Soft Scrub product of their choice.

Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips

As a Purex Insider, Combat brand provided me with a sample of  Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips to try out and review on my blog. As always the opinions expressed are my own.

 In Florida there are bugs. Lots of  bugs.  All kinds of weird, yucky bugs.  You know at some point no matter what those creepy crawlers will make there way inside your home.  We have been fortunate not to have had too many problems over the years.  Lately though we have had those tiny little ghost type ants.  So I knew when Purex put all the call for Insiders to review these new Combat Bait Strips I had to try it. 

 The pack came with five self adhesive strips which I placed near exterior doors and windows. Within 12 hours I saw ants in the strip eating the bait.  The next morning the ants were gone and have not returned. The baits are easy to use and last up to 30 days. The best part no wet, messy sprays.  The only downside was the adhesive backing did not stick well.  

During the months of April through June, Combat brand will be hosting an online sweepstakes where entrants can learn more about Combat Killing Bait Strips and become eligible to win one of three $250 Visa gift cards or one $1,000 grand prize Visa gift card. Check out and enter at www.combatbugs.com/win1000 .

Lysol Touch of Foam

 

I am surrounded by preschool age kids in my job.   Runny noses, sneezing, coughing, everything in the mouth, diaper changing, potty training... you get the idea.  Germs everywhere!!  I wash my hands hundreds of times a day.  I had not tried foam soaps prior to Bzz Agent sending me Lysol Touch of Foam to review.  I was not sure what to expect.

Basic highlights about Lysol Touch of Foam

• Rich non-drip lather works on contact to kill 99.9% of germs
• Offers 10x more germ protection than the leading national competitor
• Moisturizer-enriched micro-bubbles leave your hands feeling soft and comfortable after every wash
• Available in three great scents — Creamy Vanilla Orchid, Rose & Cherry in Bloom and Wild Berry Bliss
• Antimicrobial properties are built in to protect the pump and resist odor-causing bacteria

What I liked:

• Liquid that turns into a thick, rich foam.  No drips, no mess!
• One pump is plenty to thoroughly clean my hands from the dirtiest mess.
• You use less so you save money.
• I received the Creamy Vanilla Orchid and it smells amazing!   
• It is gentle on my hands.

 

After trying out this product for a couple of weeks I am in love with it.  It will be a staple in my house and classroom from now on. The price is right.  It is available for under $3.00 in most locations. And the scents are as nice as you will get at the pricey bath stores.

Healthy Hands matter to Lysol:
That’s why Lysol^® started their Mission for Health. With new mom programs, healthy habits initiatives in schools and disaster relief efforts, the company is dedicated to doing more for everyone’s health. The mission is fueled by passion and backed by their expertise in killing germs. So when you use Lysol^® at home, you’ll know you’re a part of something bigger.

Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Review and Giveaway

 

NEW Soft Scrub Advanced Surface Cleaner is the rinse-free gel that cleans and polishes granite and marble countertops, glass cooktops, and stainless steel sinks and appliances. Advanced Surface is tough on stains, yet gentle on even your most delicate surfaces. Now you can get the cleaning performance you’ve come to love from Soft Scrub^® in an easy to use gel.

Review:
My kitchen is in the main part of our house and is visible by everyone so I really like to keep it clean. We have a stainless steel sink that needs to be cleaned and shined all the time.  I have tried many products and this is one of my favorites.  The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle of Soft Scrub Advance Surface is the fresh smell.  Not like chemicals or bleach.  You just pour a little on your surface (warning: it comes out fast) and gently scrub.  No water or rinsing necessary. It left my sink sparkling!!
On my glass stove top, it worked well for everyday cleaning but not as well on stubborn baked on spills.  Even after soaking and gently scrubbing I was unable to get it off and finally resorted to my old standby. 
Overall, I was fond of the all purpose cleaner for everyday kitchen and bathroom messes.  The fresh smell, non-abrasive formula and no rinsing are all wonderful selling points and will keep me using this in my household.

Oscillococcinum Review

With the flu running rampant this season I was looking for safe, homeopathic alternative to some of the over the counter drugs I've seen. Many of the tips I saw for how to manage the flu naturally like drink lots fluids, get lots of rest also suggested Oscillococcinum to help manage flu symptoms. Oscillococcinum is one of the world’s most popular natural flu medicines, can reduce the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms when taken at the onset of symptoms. Its use is supported by published clinical studies, as well as more than 65 years of use throughout the world. Plus, unlike other flu medicines, Oscillo has no known side effects, it does not interfere with other medications, and it is safe for both children (older than 2 years of age) and adults.

Thankfully no one is my family has gotten the flu this year but I do feel better knowing I have medicine on hand that I feel comfortable giving my children if one of them does get the flu. They also sell cough and cold medicine. You can purchase it at your local drugstore and make sure to check out their site for a coupon.

R.W. Knudsen Family® Spritzer

I was given the opportunity to try R.W. Knudsen Family® Spritzer by Naturally Savvy recently. Bill Knudsen created the first fruit juice Spritzers for his family more than 20 years ago as a refreshing alternative to refined sugar and corn syrup sweetened sodas. They are made with real fruit juices and sparkling water. I love that these are a better alternative to the sugar-filled sodas with several ingredients I can't pronounce without lacking in flavor. My husband and I both enjoyed these spritzers. They are available in 14 yummy flavors like orange passionfruit, lemon lime and Jamaican lemonade. You can purchase these at your local Whole Foods and other health food store.

Dry Idea Advanced Dry Review & Giveaway

 

It is February, right?  You might not think this is the best time to try out a new deodorant but it is 86 degrees, humid and the AC is on full blast in my part of the world.  So I decided to try this new deodorant from Dry Idea.   The new formula consists of enduring odor protection that lasts for 72 hours, Pulse Activation Wetness Protection and is formulated with Vitamin E!

 

Now, one thing you need to know is I hate the heat and I HATE TO SWEAT!!  And of course I live where it is HOT and HUMID 11 1/2 months of the year.    I need a deodorant/antiperspirant that will keep me dry and smelling fresh all day.  Dry-Idea was going to have to work hard to impress me. 

 

 I have tried a variety of deodorants in my life time and have only found a couple that I felt were truly effective.  I will now add Dry Idea Advanced Dry to that list.  The anti-perspirant goes on smooth and dries quickly leaving your underarms feeling silky and smooth!  Dry Idea Advanced Dry did its job- keeping you dry and  smelling your best all day. The fresh scent of this deodorant is pleasant, without being  overbearing.  Now, I did not test out the 72 hour odor protection promise.  I am just not that confident to go without putting on deodorant on everyday.  So if you give it a try let us know how it works. 

 

In celebration of this product release Dry Idea is hosting a sweepstakes in with 1 lucky grand prize winner will receive $500 and 10 additional winners will each receive $50. Hurry and enter!

MorningStar Farms Review and Recipe

Yummy! Doesn't it just look delicious?   This is the first burger I tried with my FREE sample of MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burgers.  I am not a vegetarian and don't plan on becoming one but I had heard these patties were tasty and had been wanting to try them.  I have a hard time spending money on products I am not sure I will like so when Bzz Agent asked me to participate in this campaign I was thrilled. 

MorningStar Farms from Kellogg's not only provides a wide variety of meatless products they also have tons of recipes to give you inspiration on how to use them.  I love foods with a touch of heat so this recipe fit the bill for my taste buds.

Fiery Chipotle-Cheddar Patriot Burger

INGREDIENTS

1 MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burgers

1/2 ounce blue tortilla strips

1/2 ounce red tortilla strips

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 slice cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon chipotle pepper

2 ounces ketchup

1 ounce fresh romaine

1 sourdough bun DIRECTIONS 1. Cook Morningstar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger patty according to directions. 2. Fry tortilla strips in oil until crisp. 3. Place black pepper on patty and top with cheese; place under broiler for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. 4. Combine chipotle pepper and ketchup; reserve. 5. Place lettuce on bottom bun, then place patty on top of lettuce and top with tortilla strips and top bun. 6. Serve with chipotle ketchup.   I added a slice of avocado and pepper jack cheese to mine. The burger was juicy, the texture was firm and overall I was impressed with my first veggie burger.    Disclosure: Recipe and picture are courtesy of MorningStar Farms. Bzz Agent provide me with a coupon for a free product but all opinions are my own.

Progresso Light Creamy Soups Review

I was given the opportunity from MyBlogSpark to try the all new Progresso Light soups that contain only 100 calories per serving. I had the Light Creamy Potato with Bacon and Cheese soup while my husband had the Light Chicken Pot Pie Style. I love having soups this time a year and when I am short on time Progresso soups are my go-to. These soups are packed with satisfying flavors so now you can eat less calories without sacrificing the taste!

 

I also loved that the first few ingredients in both of these soups are broth, meat & veggies instead of ingredients I can not pronounce. If you are on Weight Watchers both of these soups are WW approved. If looking for a quick, easy, low calories dinner or lunch you need to try these out!

Borax Review and Giveaway

 

I love when Purex Insider picks me to review a product and share my views with you.  I get to try products I love and then I get to share them with you through a giveaway!!  It is so much fun to WIN!!

Borax is most popular as a laundry booster but I love the many other uses it has around our home. Here are a few ways I like to use Borax.

*  It keeps bugs at bay.  I have sprinkled this in the walls of our homes and we have never had a major issue with bugs.  We live in Florida so that is saying a great deal!

 

* It is a water softener.

* Removes stains from laundry.

* Deodorizes toilets, laundry, mattress, carpets (test first), stinky shoes.

* Clean toilets by placing 1 cup of  Borax in your  toilet overnight, swish the next day and flush. 

* Make slime!! (my favorite thing to do with Borax)

1. In one bowl mix 1/2 cup (4 oz) glue and 1/2 cup water. Add food coloring if you want colored slime.
2. In the other bowl, mix 1 teaspoon borax with 1 cup water until the borax is dissolved.
3. Add the glue mixture to the borax solution, stirring slowly.
4. The slime will begin to form immediately; stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. (No one makes slime without getting a little messy!) Don't worry about any extra water,  just pour it out.  Source: Home Science Tools.

Purex Baby Review

 

I love being a Purex Insider and was happy to hear they now have a detergent made just for babies. I love using Purex on my husband and I's clothing so I was excited to see how Purex Baby worked on my children's.

Purex Baby detergent is hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested and formulated to be extra gentle on your little one’s sensitive skin. Purex Baby detergent leaves your baby’s clothes smelling fresh and clean, and won’t harm the flame resistance of sleepwear.

This product worked great on my kid's clothing and left them with a fresh smell. My only concern was Purex Baby had the same ingredients as the Purex I use on my clothing. I can just assume the quantity of some of the ingredients are different.

GIVEAWAY: Want to try this product for yourself? Two winners will each win 2 (two) full size value coupons for Purex Baby.  Entry is simple.  Follow us and then leave a comment.

Bonus entries:
1) Leave a comment on Purex Facebook page telling them KidKapers sent you.

AFRIN® STICK UP FOR YOURSELF Review

I was sent a sample of Afrin as part of a new Bzz campaign.  At first, I was very skeptical. I had never used a nasal spray before and honestly I don't think I would have ever purchased one.   But since I was given the product to try for free for being a Bzz Agent I was willing to give it a shot if I happened to need it.  Everyone in our household had colds and runny noses during December but ME. Not that I am complaining but it is hard to review a product if you can't try it.  Well, low and behold two days before Christmas guess what - you got it- I caught the cold.  

The grand kids were here, tons of last minute details to tend to I had no time to feel bad.  I was nervous to try the first spray and I was not expecting the cool, unpleasant blast. Luckily, I knew I would only have to do it twice a day since it is expected to provide 12 hours of relief. Afrin gave me such fast relief it was worth trying it.  By the third time using it I felt like a pro and knew what to expect so I did not find it to be as unpleasant as I did at first. Afrin lived up to its promise and I would definitely purchase it again.

Afrin comes in 3 different varieties, the original nasal spray, original pump spray and original no drip pump spray. In addition they also have 3 other variations to combat severe congestion, extra moisturizing, and sinus.  Check out Afrin.com for additional information, coupons, and cute videos.

*I received this product and coupons for being a BzzAgent in exchange for a honest review.  All thoughts are completely my own.

Green Mountain Coffee Wellness Collection Review

 

I take my coffee seriously!!   I rarely get up until I hear the beep of our  Grind and Brew coffee machine letting me know it is ready.  I drink my coffee black and love a nice smooth medium blend.  When Bzz Agent asked me if I wanted to review Green Mountains new Wellness Collection I was excited beyond belief.   I could try a new coffee that would actually improve my health. It seemed like a win-win.

 

Another benefit of this product is that Green Mountain Coffee takes their environmental and social responsibility seriously. The company emphasis ethical and environmental standards.  They have implemented  a higher value structure when it comes to how they treat their employees, coffee growers, to the land’s Eco-system from tree to cup.  This is something you don't see in other manufactures.  Interested in learning more, check out Green Mountain's Social Responsibility page.

There are two flavors in the Wellness Collection, the Focus Blend and an Antioxidant Blend. The Focus Blend  includes 50 mg L-Theanine (reduce stress and anxiety) while the Antioxidant Blend has Vitamin C and E. These are both 100% Fair Trade certified coffees!

Since I drink my coffee black I was really concerned about the flavor of  the enhanced coffee. GMC did not disappoint.  It had the same great taste we expect from them and there was no aftertaste.  I enjoyed the Antioxidant Blend slight better since it had a bolder taste.  Also, I reduced the amount of water per cup to about 9 oz. for a richer taste.  I love knowing a healthier choice in coffee has great flavor.  Over the few days I sampled these two types of blends I can not say that I noticed any health benefits but maybe over time the improvement would be noticeable.  I do know that I enjoyed the coffee and would purchase the Wellness blends.

Farm Rich Snack Review and Giveaway

We were recently asked to do a review and giveaway on Farm Rich snack and appetizers.  I was excited about this review because  with a teenage son it is always great to have  wholesome, easy to prepare snacks on hand that taste great.  Farm Rich did not disappoint.  Just place on a cookie sheet in the oven for around 15 minutes and your done.  Perfect for when my son is running between classes and work. 

 

Mozzarella Cheese sticks are a favorite when we dine out so we wanted to give these a try first. They were everything you would expect in a traditional cheese stick.  Crunchy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside.  I served them with a marinara sauce and ranch dressing for dipping. YUMMY!!

Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks are:
- Made with 100% real mozzarella cheese
- Breaded and seasoned to perfection
- Good source of calcium and protein
- 0g trans fat per serving
- Comes in 10 oz snack pack & 52 oz value pack

 

Next up we tried the Mini Quesadillas.  I loved these but they were not a favorite of my sons.  He was hoping for a little more kick. These are great as they are but I topped them mine a little salsa, sour cream and green onions. 
These are:
- Made with all white-meat chicken
- Southwestern blend of Cheddar and Jack
- 0g trans fat per serving
- Good source of calcium and protein
- Tortilla-style crust
