No matter how many times I have been here, we always seem to have a little bit of fun at the fish hatchery.
Saving Time & Money With My Whirlpool Duet Laundry Set
I can’t believe it has been over a year now that my Whirlpool Duet was delivered and installed at my house. For years I dealt with used washing machines and dryers that always needed to be repaired or upgraded. Since my pretty Whirlpool washing and dryer has been in use, laundry has seemed just so much easier.
After using this laundry pair for the last year I would have to say that my FAVORITE feature is the Precision Dispense on the washing machine. Since I have a family of six, I do a TON of laundry each week. I like that I don’t have to measure the soap with each load that I do. The Precision Dispense allows me to just put the load of laundry in the machine and set it to wash.
My second favorite feature is the Advanced Moisture Sensing. With this feature it can detect if their is moisture inside the dryer and adjust the time on the dryer to be finished once your clothes are dry. This means that I can just put the clothes in dryer and turn it on. Once turned on the dryer will then take over and sense out how much time is needed to dry my load. It will also self-adjust during the drying cycle if determines more time is needed to get my clothes dry.
This is the first washing machine that also has quite a few handy cycles. Although I usually use the Normal Cycle, if I have laundry that isn’t too soiled, I can save time by using the Quick Wash cycle. I have seen my daughters use this Quick Wash cycle when they want to wash something real quick and don’t have time to wait for the Normal cycle. I also am really liking the Hand Wash and Delicate cycle for my clothes that I normally wash by hand in the sink.
With my Whirlpool Duet I am able to save over $3,300 in lifetime water and energy costs just by using these machines. I know these might be an investment to buy, but they are definitely worth it in the long run in my opinion. Not only do they use less water and save on energy, they also look pretty fancy in my garage when my friends are over and see me washing my dirty laundry!

Keeping It Cool With U By Kotex Tween
Now that we are almost through September, I am guessing that most of our children have gone back to school. My children started last month and it sure has been busy with two of them joining sports this year. Between practices and games, there isn’t too much free time for them these days.
For tweens and teens, one thing that is always a bummer is having your period when you are at school and especially in sports . Not only is it a bummer having your period at school, it can also be very embarrassing to start your period at school. Have a tween that hasn’t started and might have questions? Be sure to have her visit: www.ubykotex.com/helloperiod.
I happened to be one of the unlucky girls that got to start their period when I was in junior high. For me it was not FUN since I remember having to go to the office to the nurse to ask for some help. I made sure my daughters were prepared in case it ever happened to them.
Kotex makes a cute line of feminine products for tweens that I have a stock of in my pantry. For some girls it can be embarrassing to ask mom or dad to buy pads so I always make sure I have enough in the cupboard so they never have to ask. They are able to keep some in their backpacks, purses or locker at school in case their period comes unexpectedly.
For pads, I just think the the colorful packaging of the U By Kotex Tween products is pretty COOL too!

The Benefits Of Using Provella
When it comes to taking care of my health, I should be doing more than I am currently doing now. I know I probably should be taking a multi-vitamin, but usually just take my daily Vitamin C gummy that for some reason I like the taste of. I had heard of probiotics before, but never read much about what they really do until recently.
I am currently participating in the Provella Blog Tour with Mom Central and for the last couple weeks, I have been taking the Provella Probiotic Dietary Supplement daily. For those that are not familiar with Provella, it is a dietary supplement that has been designed for women to help promote digestive, feminine, and immune health.
For me, I don’t usually take any supplements because I have always considered myself in good health. I might need to get more exercise in, but other than that I have not had too many problems with my health. For those that have sensitive stomachs, the Provella might be able to help.
In our bodies there are microorganisms that include bacteria in places such as your mouth and your gut. You might not know it, but some bacteria helps the body to work properly. There is “good bacteria” that helps aid in the digestion of the food and absorb certain nutrients in the food that you eat. Provella includes the good bacterias that when taken daily can naturally promote a healthy balance of good bacteria in your body.

Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey “Dragons” Show Review
Last week the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was in Sacramento performing their new show “Dragons”. I was able to attend the opening night with my two youngest children and my mother in law and we had a blast. If you plan on going to The Greatest Show On Earth, I would suggest arriving early for the pre-show.
As always, you got to start the evening off with buying a circus program and getting the clowns autographs. This is really one of my mother in law’s FAVORITE parts of the circus. She really wanted the signature of a cute clown that was hiding in the back. Luckily another friendly clown went back and got her to come out from behind the curtain for an autograph and some fun photos.
We didn’t stop at just this clown’s signatures. We tried to get as many signatures as we could. It was fun going around the arena floor searching for the clowns pictured in the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus Program. Check out the autographs that I was quick enough to take a picture for:
Once the pre-show was over we were asked to take our seats. I am not sure who was more excited about the show, my mother in law, me or my children. I always let my children pick out a souvenir before the show starts. I was happy when my son picked the cute Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey blue dragon stuffed animal.
Once the show started, we were all glued to our seats. This show had some amazing performances and kept our attention the whole time. I will have to say that are a couple parts where the big dragon comes out to blow out FIRE. I think that was our favorite parts of the show, although we enjoyed all the performances. I was really excited to see some cats doing some tricks too!
One of my all time favorites of any circus is always the elephants. Watching these BIG animals do tricks is always something amazing to see.
Another very exciting part of this show is the stunt that involves this round cage. You should see just how many motorbikes they have driving in this cage at one time.
All four of us definitely had a good time at this show. I am going to save all the rest of the details of The Greatest Show On Earth for you to find out.
