I don’t really post about my life much (because how interesting can the details of my days be to others?) but a once a month seems like an ok interval to indulge a post in chatting about myself. I’m officially six months pregnant, and have the watermelon belly to prove it: Today I’ll be taking […]
In my house, hubby does the laundry. The reason for this is because our laundromat is located outside our home, in a remote basement of our condo complex, and my husband (a police officer) doesn’t want to send me alone to an isolated room to do our family laundry. That is good, because the idea […]
My brother lives with me and he does the laundry 🙂
As a mother of 4 I can use all the help I can get. When you get a stain and can’t wash clothes right away Shout is the best option.
I’ve actually never tried a stain removing spray…I’d like to.
I use stain remover spray at least once a week. I have 3 very young kids so we have lots of stains. I’ve never heard of Shout Free. I wash the kids clothes in Tide Free so this is perfect.
let laundry pile up over here and lots of time stuff gets eaten (by dog) so I am of no help
I have been using Shout for years and years! It truly works on fighting stains.
I used Shout stain remover and it is wonderful get the stains right out of clothes. It get out, grass, dirt, and food stains.
It would be great to try out this version of the product…
I work in a industrial kitchen so my shirts often need this.
We only use cold water to wash clothes
I love using Shout, I can’t wait to try this one too
thanks for the info , I love it
When my regular bottle of Shout is gone, I’m going to have to get this when it runs out. All of my other laundry products are fragrance and dye free because of my family’s sensitive skin.
I have to wear white shirts for work and I am always “shouting” when I get home
I have to use it on my son’s football pants everytime they are washed!! But with 4 kids…seems there is always a stain to spray.
I use stain remover spray on all of my husband’s dress shirts.
I use Shout all the time.
Right now I use Shout, but I didn’t know there was a Shout Free!

I use Resolve Max- but worry about it bleaching my clothes since it has peroxide in it.
I do use stain removers.
Two kids + a husband = a lot of food, dirt and grass stains!
I do all the laundry in this house! I don’t mind it at all, though, because of all the household chores, laundry is probably the one I mind the least. The ONLY thing I really hate about it is putting the clean folded clothes away! That *should* be the easy part, but I just hate it, so our clothes sometimes sit, neatly folded, in a laundry basket for a week or more before I finally force myself to do it!

I use a stain stick for clothing stains because I don’t always do the laundry immediately.
i use shout all the time. I have a daycare and it works great for paint, washable crayons, clay,and all their other crafts.
thanks for the opportunity.
both hubby and son like dirt and grease so shout is a must here

I actually go through alot of Shout with my two kids. It’s amazing what types of food stains, magic marker stains, and all around dirt shows up on their clothing!
I use tide stick every now and then

We normally do not use a stain spray but probably should!

I currently use the shout wipes.
I have a terrible and am unsucessful time geting most stains out
A stain remover is a must in the house full of guys and a dog.

I use Shout
I have used Shout stain stick in the past. but the sprays I have used lately sometimes leave a nastier stain is it doesn’t get washed right after pre-treating. I would like to try the New Shout Free Spray. thanks for a chance 🙂
Your hair, tresses, locks, mane, coif, crowning glory, whatever you call those luxurious strands flowing from your head, it’s a different name for the same glorious thing. Throughout history beautiful hair, voluminous hair, bouncy hair, shiny hair, unfastened sexy hair hanging loose down your back has been known to have seductive powers, to evoke the […]
My hair is one part of my routine that I skimp on and I know it probably plays the biggest role in my appearance. I’m hoping when I finally get it highlighted and cut again it’ll encourage me to do something with it everyday.
My hair is so short…but, I do a blast of cold from the blowdryer to give it a shinier look. Thanks for the other ideas.
very true! Argon oil also works wonders!
I use baby powder at least once a week, to make my shampoo last one extra day. I’ve been so busy for the past 2 months that it’s difficult to find the time to wash it. Sad, but true. But the powder really works!
Wowthose are some beautiful hair tips
Most of the time I think shaving my head would be the right choice, lol. Thanks for the tips!
I love these tips! I need added volume so I’m going to try the powder tip!
II never do my hair anymore. I was just looking at older pictures of me and it made me depressed since I never take time for myself anymore. I really should start doing my hair again. thanks for the tips
I use the blow dryer on cool for DD. I was told it keeps the hair healthier.
I need a color and cut
I never heard of the powder in the hair trick. I will try it! thanks!
I love doing the cool shot at the end feels wonderful. I’ve been known to spritz with perfume:)
I do the perfume thing on my hair and the powder thing between washes. 🙂 Great tips, love them!!
never heard the baby powder tip very interesting
Great tips, I love to a spritz of perfume to my hair too!
Interesting about the powder… It really works for dark hair?
Those are great tips and blow drying your hair with the cool shot DOES works wonders for your hair. 🙂
Yep…the powder is absorbed by the natural oils on your hair and scalp, becoming translucent while adding volume. I started to powder my hair while I was a brunette.
I’m going to have to try that powder trick!
I love curling my hair and then letting them fall a little, love the wavy look!
Love the hair ideas!
I have long hair that gets oily very quickly. I love the idea of putting powder on it! Gotta try this!
I’m really trying to get mine looking better.
Aaw that is a pretty quote.. So true too!
I don’t think men should only do that if they consider us “ladies.” But I really think that the more opportunities we give men to act chivalrous, the more likely they are to behave that way. If you don’t give the special guy in your life the chance to open the door for you, he probably won’t!
Wouldn’t that be nice.
Beautiful!
I totally agree! If you go around like you don’t need a man in your life and don’t appreciate the chivalrous things he does for you, he’s probably going to stop even bothering.
So true!
Agreed — men like to have a purpose … to be needed .. to feel like they can help us. There is nothing wrong in that — it is how they are wired. Acting like a lady gives them someone to “protect” and care for …
I have no chocie
that was so cute
And if girls all acted like princesses they would find more prince charmings

Oh so true. Love this message. It’s a positive message with a whole lot of truth and little words! HUGS!
I sure do love that!
Oooooohhh, I really like that one!
SO true!
I catch myself rushing to open doors, then realize that I am robbing my husband of the opportunity to be a gentleman and to model being a gentleman for our son. I have to remember to slow down.
Standing up and applauding.
I adore this!! SO very true 🙂
I never get the chance to open the door for myself anyway if my hubby is around. He has always been a gentleman. Although I don’t mind opening my own door from time to time, he calls me his “Lady”, and says I should be treated as such. 🙂
you can only hope that would be the way it would be. but I do love the photo
NOOOOO
So very true!
I love the look of a shimmery, glossy smile. With a dab of vaseline, any girl can have an attention-getting, super shiny smile, a great look to emphasize a great smile. Adding regular old petrolatum jelly to your beauty routine can make the busiest of women look a little sparklier, and applying a product like […]
I love Vaseline!! I use it on my lips of course, it is in my purse, not a small tube but the big huge tub.. I use it on my eyebrows, elbow, ends of my hair, the list goes on!
Vaseline is the best for lips! Leaves lips so soft and moisturized:) I am still loving those blinged out jars!
Chapped lips for sure….that jar is adorable!
I use Vaseline on my lips, my hands, my elbows, and my feet.
My husband uses Vaseline for his chapped lips!
Oh that looks so pretty! I love the jars too 🙂
I LOVE Vaseline. From its healing “second skin” qualities, to the best natural beauty trick, Vaseline is a must have for everybody (men included.) Not only is Vaseline one of the best kept secrets, now its bejeweled! Looks like heaven and you will too 😉
For softer feet!
Haven’t used vaseline in years, but its a great reminder to pick some up to moisturize my hands and feet. LOVE the blinged out jars 🙂
How perfectly glamorous! I totally want one of those.
I use Vaseline every single day! Most common uses are on my lips and any dry patches of skin before I go to sleep…EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!! I love it, and wouldn’t be without it!
h4schaffer at gmail dot com
my daughter uses vaseline for dry lips and we both use it when we use hair color at home if you put it on your forehead etc, the dye wont stain your skin, especially my teenage daughter when she is using purples etc
staceyx at telus dot net
I use it on my lips and my baby’s skin in rough places
i use it on my lips
nannypanpan at gmail.com
love this tip very smart
i would love to win this we all use Vaseline
I use it for my kids’ dry, chapped lips
That is a cute jar!! I do use it on my lips when they are very chapped.
But mostly I use it on my sons eczema all the time when his skin flares up. I Also use it on my babys head (for dry skin on forehead and cradle cap) and behind his ears.
Thanks for the chance!
Who won this gorgeous holiday bling??
What a cute jar – sure beats the plain ones! I use Vaseline for my unruly eyebrows that grow down. I apply it before bed in hopes my eyebrows will behave. It’s also a must have for my lips and I use it to remove eye makeup.
I use Vaseline to loosen up hinges and doorknobs. I also use it on my lips when they’re dry, and apply to minor burns. Thanks.

I love vasoline for my lips!
I love your belly Penelope! It’s so much fun to have 2 boys. Though I think I may be slowly going insane at the same time. Like this morning. Haha. But I love that Bouncer at Christmas Land. Too cute. 🙂
Your so funny! I am lucky never getting any stretch marks at all, I looked like I swallowed a watermelon too, my nick name with all three was Ethiopian. Not nice I know.. I did rub Coco Butter on my belly daily 🙂 Congratulations on your upcoming baby!!
You have the cutest belly! Congratulations on another little boy.
Thanks for posting! I was just wondering how you and the family were enjoying the holidays and hoped you were doing well. Your belly is amazing and I love that you’re still staying chic when you could totally be donning a muumuu and diving into some unhealthy food. All the best to you and the boys 1, 2 and 3.
Great pics! I am a mom of 3 boys, ages 6, 8 and 9. And its a blast raising boys.
🙂

Penelope, you look amazing! It’s great to hear that you are eating a healthy diet, that’s SO important during pregnancy. 🙂 Congratulations on another little boy!
Your belly looks so cute!
Your belly is too cute!! Congratulations on the boy! So exciting, I’m also scared of getting stretch marks. I’m doomed because they’re genetic and everyone in my family has them..
Such a cute belly! So thrilled for you!
Aww!! Look at that beautiful round belly!!! I love posts like this the best!!
oh my gosh I love your belly. It’s perfectly round. It really does look like a watermelon is in there with the way he is hanging out.
Your belly is so cute and you look great!
I know, lol…it wasn’t until I saw these pictures that I realized how ball-like I look! Sooo funny!
Congratulations on expecting another little man! Your skin is beautiful, I must say. Whatever you are doing is working. Merry Christmas to you & your guys! 🙂
You look great! I loved being pregnant!
Love the belly pics. Love even more that they aren’t mine lol.
Congrats on another wonderful little man 🙂
Congratulations on your newest baby boy!
Oh your belly is so cute!! I wish I had taken pics when I was pregnant. Congrats
