Purex Ultrapacks Review

Last month I got a nice package in the mail. Purex sent me their new UltraPacks laundry detergent. I have to say they are very convenient. No measuring, no scooping, no pouring no rinsing and no getting anything on your hands. Its very very simple...

These are what these little packets look like. Kind of like the packets that you might use for the dishwasher... I am sure you could get confused because they do look a like.

I really like the simpleness of the Ultrapacks. For those times that I am running late and really needed to throw in a load. Directions say to make sure hands are dry but honestly I have held them with wet hands and they don't leave any residue on your hands. (And when it says to use with dry hands I really had to test it because well I am just curious like that. :)) The come in a package of 18. Kind of small in my opinion. I'm not sure what the price is but it would have to be $2-$3 for me to buy these. I honestly really like Purex laundry detergent. I think they do an excellent job of trying to always try and invent new ways for laundry detergent. I honestly can't say weather I would buy these on a regular occasion or not. I am guessing not. 

Although they are convenient 18 loads of laundry would be gone in a week. And I am not sure I want to be buying them every week. Maybe if I was a single person they would be really nice.

All in all I like the product. Purex does a good job with staying on top of what others are doing. 

And you also get a chance to try these babies out. Purex has given me 3 FREE coupons to give away to you guys. So the first three people to comment will get a coupon.

Comforts for Baby Product Review

I had the great privilege to be accepted into the Comfort for Baby Bzz Campaign. (if you want more info on BzzAgent follow the link.... great great opportunities to try new products.)

The sent me a coupon for a free box up to 92 ct diapers, 2 sippy cups and a pack of wipes. The closest Kroger or Kroger store for me is about 30 minutes away (not ideal but for a free pack of diapers? Who cares!) So the kids and I headed out to Kroger and got a package of diapers. While there I looked at there other products which are fairly reasonably priced compared to Target or Walmart brand. The box of diapers were priced at 13.99 (not too bad if you ask me). Wipes were 1.99 (I can't really remember). And formula was 12.99-14.99.

Since buying the diapers (its been about a week) I have used them every day. They are diapers. They do what the need to do. My complaint right now is they leak at night. She wakes up in the morning damp (not soaked) but damp. She also sleeps through the night so she is in them from 8pm -7am. During the day I don't have a problem with her being damp from them only at night. I also think that the diapers look very cheap to me. To me Kroger is a big name store so I would consider there stuff to look better. When I look at the box it looks like there is a well made "stylish" diaper. But when I opened the box I was very disappointed on what they looked like. (maybe that shouldn't be a big deal but I think the look of something matters a lot to people and people judge things by the way things look).

I have used the wipes and really enjoy them. I have found a lot of off brand wipes to be a lot like Pampers (which is totally fine) but I am Huggies girl when it comes to wipes. And I was very very excited to see that the Comfort for Baby wipes were thicker and strong.

We have not had a chance to use the sippy cups as I don't need any more in my house at the moment. But I am sure that they will come in handy one day! :)

All in all I would say that there products on average are okay. I am not to impressed with there diapers to drive all that way for them. And I am not even sure if I was in walking distance from a store I would buy them.

My baby is growing and I don't like it

Kynlee is getting so big!!! I can not believe that she 7 months already! She really is a content little baby. Much much different than Caidan and Kloe who seem to need our attention a lot more.

Kynlee decided she was going to get up on her hands and knees this week. She's been army crawling for a couple weeks now so it was just a matter of time but I wasn't ready for it. Yesterday I also saw her trying to sit up... (which is really funny to watch). I know there is going to be no stopping her soon. All she wants is to be like her brother and sister. It is amazing to me how much she loves them. One look from them and she giggles so hard. It is so cute!

The New Me!

I'm not really new just feeling better than I had a month ago. I went to the doctors about two weeks ago and actually learned some interesting things about my old meds. So I am totally glad I went. I've been on this new med for a couple weeks and although I don't feel like "myself" (I'm not even sure that I know who that is anymore) I am feeling a lot better. I have more energy than I have had in the past okay maybe year... I don't want to sleep the day away or ignore people. There are some annoying things about it like gaining weight (so I am really interested in why anti depression meds make you gain weight.... You would think that they would try to put something in them so you wouldn't gain weight... I mean that makes me more depressed than ever... just my few cents! )... But honestly I haven't had those depressed feelings of not wanting to do anything or go anywhere or talk to anyone.

I am hoping that this is all temperory and that some how I will find the old me again but until then I am going to try and enjoy the me now... You know the new me!

5 years!

Five years ago I never thought I would be where I am today. I never thought that I would have 3 kids and 4 dogs, filled for bankruptcy, lost a house, but most of all I never ever thought that I would really know what "love" was.

You fall in love and think this is GREAT, I love this person... they give me butterflies every time I see them or every time they touch me.  Then you get married and you feel like everything will be great because you can't imagine life without him. But the thing that I realized is all those feelings before we were married are nothing compared to what I feel now... but in a totally different way. (I mean I still find my husband completely sexy and I still get those butterflies every time he looks at me.) I have found that there is a lot more to love than just those "feelings".

I love Chris way beyond those feelings. I love the way he sleeps, the way he handles the kids, the way he takes care of us as the provider, the way he occasionally sings "made" up songs, the way he never apologizes when he passes gas, the way he always can make me smile (even when I don't want too), the way he gets aggravated by the little things, the way he cooks (he is a GREAT cook), the way he likes just the little things in life, the way that we are always thinking the same things..... I could go on and on.... but what I am saying is Love isn't just about those feelings. They are everything about a person that you accept or don't accept.

I could never imagine my life without Chris. He is my best friend and my love. He loves me despite my annoying behaviors, or sometimes my stubbornness, or my laziness.... :) I love that I found the man that I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

Chris,
We might not have the ideal life (you know the one we always dream of) but I would never change what we have for what we want. Our life is perfect to me right now. And even more so that I married you five years ago. I love you more today than five years ago. Thank you for being the perfect man for our family...
I love you!!!
MUWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
