My Favorite Things!

There are few things that make my list of things I truly love, but these things make my life easier and are worth every dime!

My newest love is our new cats litter box.  That's right, a litter box!  Why?  3 simple reasons: 1) NO SMELL. 2) NO dusty litter to deal w/ and get tracked around. 3) The pellets only get changed ONCE a month. Yup!  Now you're wondering what kind of miracle this is. Introducing the Breeze Litter Box system. Retails for about $39, but the one I bought from Petsmart had a $10 coupon right on the box.  The initial price is a bit high mainly because it comes with everything you will need for a full month, but to not have to deal with all the mess and stench it was worth every penny!

Next is something I have been in love with now for about a year.  I buy it once every 2-4 months, which means I have one less thing to think about daily. I have people ask what kind of detergent I use all the time because of how great this makes my clothes smell. It's the Bounce Bar! Pop it in the dryer and you're done for months. It's about $7 for the 4 month bar and $4.50 for the 2 month bar.  I'll take it!

I know all you moms can relate to the absolute nightmare keeping up with your floors can be.  My kitchen is the largest space in the house and has 2 doors leading outside from it.  Which means 2 times the dirt all in one area. Sweeping does ok, but that wonderful white ceramic tile needs a lot more attention then that. I was SICK of mopping and SICK of spending a fortune on liquid and pads for the Swiffer.  The solution...The ProMist mop!  I think it's around $15 and the two main reasons this is so much better then the Swiffer if that 1. You use your OWN cleaning solution diluted with water and 2. The pad is WASHABLE! If you want the disposable ones you can buy those separate.  Once you buy it you don't have to buy anything else for it unless you just want to.  Saves money, saves time!

Lastly, I have tried a million things to keep the fragrant aroma of plug ins to stay around longer then a couple days and as you know, the refills are not cheap! My favorite is the Air Wick scented oil, but got sick of spending so much to keep them full.  I found 2 solutions for this! Yay! 1st, They now sell universal plug in refills by Renuzit that fit most brands and cost HALF the price and smell just as good! 2nd is the Febreeze Set and Refresh.  These little suckers are so strong and the smell stays for about a month!  They are about $2 each and I use it mostly in the bathroom, but it's great for the kids rooms too.


So there you have it!  Just a few of my favorite things.  I'm sure I could come up with plenty more, but these are the ones I am showing a lot of appreciation for these days :)
