Keep Litter Box Odors in Check

Keep Litter Box Odors in Check
Powered by BrandBacker

As a first-time mom, you may have thought, she’s in for a real surprise with diaper duty, but little do you know, I am not new to disgusting smells since I have had a cat for 15 years now. I only wished I did something about the smell a little sooner since she’s both an indoor and outdoor cat which requires a litter box. No amount of powder or chemical scents can clear up the smell of cat feces and urine, you’re better off cleaning out the litter box immediately after they go and disposing into the Litter Genie Cat Litter Disposal System.

5 Blogs I Like to Read

I don’t usually have a lot of time to check out and read a bunch of blogs, but I do check these ones when I have the time.

There are so many blogs in the blog o’ sphere nowadays, that it’s hard to find good ones who don’t repeat content. Heck, I am guilty of this myself, but I at least hope some people find some of my posts helpful.

And without further ado…

Shark Rocket With DuoClean Technology Review + DIY Natural Carpet Deodorizer!

Shark Rocket With DuoClean Technology Review + DIY Natural Carpet Deodorizer!

 *This post is in partnership with Shark. I received the Shark Rocket Duo Vacuum for free in order to facilitate this review*

Choosing a good vacuum is almost as hard as choosing a new car. Will it last? Does it have the power to do what I need it to do? How well does it maneuver? Those are all questions and concerns I have when it comes to vacuums and cars, but this post isn’t about car buying; it’s about the Ultralight Upright Shark Rocket With DuoClean Technology.

What Does DuoClean Technology Even Mean?

Essentially, there are 2 brush rolls. One that is soft that helps engage in small, large and stuck-on particles of debris on your floor, and a bristle roller that accelerates the particles into a high-velocity suction channel, which then ends up in your canister at the top.

If you’re like the average household, you have kids, animals, and messes galore from both. I swear, between the cat’s clumps of missing hair from winter coat and cat litter, as well as Arya’s food messes, vacuuming is a twice a day chore.

13 Awesome Etsy Shops For Gift Ideas

13 Awesome Etsy Shops For Gift Ideas

I love handmade gifts and supporting small businesses. They may end up costing more than what you’re used to buying, but brick and mortar stores mass produce, so the cost is always going to be lower. These are one woman Etsy shops where everything is made with skill and love.

There are so many great Etsy shops to be found on Etsy, but I just adore these ones.

The Perfect Treat For Family Movie Night + Giveaway

The Perfect Treat For Family Movie Night + Giveaway

***Read all the way to the end to see how you can win 1 of 5 Walmart gift cards!***
When visiting the theater as a kid, I’d literally run to the popcorn and candy counter.  I still run to this day, only I’m a little bit slower. 😉 There’s just something about salty and savory treats while watching a blockbuster movie on the big screen!

My husband and I used to be able to see movies 3 times a month, but since having our daughter, that has diminished to twice a year, if that.

But having a kid doesn’t stop us from enjoying a good flick, we just have to wait a little longer for them to be released to Redbox so we can watch them at home on our very own big screen.

And you can’t watch a movie at home without a delicious treat. Our favorite treat is chocolate, more specifically, this new MILKA OREO Chocolate candy bar.
