We’ve been happy to have Dutch Boy paint as the sponsor for some of our nifty Home DIY projects this summer. Dutch Boy Refresh paint has been our paint of choice, and we’ve had a wonderful experience using it.

Review: Dutch Boy Refresh Paint
Packaging: The packaging on this new paint is definitely designed with ease of use in mind.
The Dutch Boy plastic package is much lighter than the traditional heavy paint cans.
The Dutch Boy square shape instead of a round can is a much better use of storage space. These paint... »View more

Laundry is one of—if not the—household chore I dread the most. I’ve got a nine-year-old and a thirteen-year-old boy, and doing their laundry (not to mention my husband’s), isn’t the most pleasant job in the house –sorry guys! Anything that cuts down on the time I spend dealing with their dirty clothes is worth a second look.
I recently received a new kind of laundry detergent in the mail called “Dropps.” It looked to me kind of like the gel packs you use in your dishwasher. You toss them in the washing machine, turn it on, and that’s it. They’re pre-measured, and you use one or two, depending on the size of the laundry load.
Here’s what I like about Dropps:
They’re... »View more

We were able to test out the new Febreze Fabric Refresher three times in my family recently, on the worst possible odors! Febreze was able to combat a child who threw up in their bed, a child that wet the bed, and a child that threw up in our moving car!
We tested the Febreze fabric refresher in lavender vanilla and comfort scent, which is very light and not overly perfumey.
Helpful for Many Common Parent Situations
As most parents know, kid accidents come at the worst possible times and in the most inconvenient places. Febreze Fabric Refresher is good for many common situations involving fabric or upholstery that cannot be washed in the washing machine.

I admit it – I’ve fallen in love with a laundry product! The new Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets are the most amazing invention in laundry to come along since the automatic washing machine.
Since I’m a Purex Insider, they sent me a test pack of their new Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry sheets before they were available in stores. I’ve been using them ever since, and I am cringing at the thought of using up my pantry stockpile of regular laundry products (it’s a pretty big stockpile)!
Watch the video below to see my explanation and demonstration of how the Purex Complete sheets work:
Big Frugal Value

This week I tried out the new Febreze NOTICEables Moroccan Bazaar scented oil warmer for review.
The packaging says this about the scent: “Inspired by the fragrances of fresh-ground ginger and nutmeg that fill the air in the spice markets of Casablanca.” With a description like that, who wouldn’t want to smell this scented oil air freshener in their house?!
This was my first time using a plug-in air freshener of any brand, so I didn’t know how strong or noticeable the scent would be. For this reason, I chose to put it in my rather small bathroom so that I would be able to tell how quickly it could scent a room.
Easy to Use
Having never used a plug-in freshener like... »View more

Check out this deliciously scented Febreze Hawaiian Aloha Candle I just got to review!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of my job is all the free products we get to test out and keep for free! Watch this video to see all the nifty new products Febreze sent me to try out (subscribers will have to click through to this article to watch the video):
Out of the entire pack of items from Febreze, the first one I tried out was the Febreze Hawaiian Aloha candle. It smells amazing, and you don’t even have to burn the candle to appreciate the scent. I tried setting the candle out on my desk unlit to see how much of the smell would really be detectable. ... »View more
