Lysol Touch Of Foam

I had the pleasure of getting to try a new product by Lysol. It is called Touch of Foam Antibacterial Soap. The product I received to review was Creamy Vanilla Orchid. I received the product free to review from BzzAgent, #gotitfree

The product is supposed to kill 99.9% of bacteria on your hands.

I love the fact that it kills that many germs in just one use. It makes me feel better knowing that my hands are clean.

I also loved the scent. I think the scent is mainly why I purchase any soap, period. The smell was light, with subtle hints of vanilla and orchids.

I did not like how dry this product made my hands feel after use. My hands feel like I need to lotion them up right away.

Would I buy this product?

If the price is right, I would buy this product due to the level of bacteria it kills.

I have .75 cents off coupons. So, if you would like to try it out ask me for a free coupon.

Margarita Cake

This is a heavenly cake. Don't skimp on the tequila, because that is what makes it taste like a margarita. You can add whipped cream to each piece, along with a lime, for looks and flavor. I'm not a whipped cream fan, so I skipped that part. Enjoy!

Cake
1 3/4 sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup plain or lemon yogurt

Glaze
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp tequila
whipped cream and lime slices for garnish

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x13 cake pan.

2. Combine sugar, butter, baking soda, and salt in mixing bowl and beat until blended. Add eggs one at a time, while beating. Mix in lemon zest and juice. Add flour and yogurt. Mix well.

3. Spoon the batter into pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

4. Combine sugar, lime juice, and water in sauce pan until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, and add tequila.

5. After the cake cools for 15 minutes, invert or leave in pan. Brush the glaze onto the cake. Let stand until cool. When cool, add garnish.

Our friend at Kindermusik is offering up a fun musical prize.

It includes a free Kindermusik class, a 10-song download card, and an egg-shaker instrument ($20 value).

Kindermusik® is an early childhood music and movement program based on the beliefs that every child is musical, every parent is the child's most important teacher, and that the home is the most important place for learning to take root and grow.

Easter Egg Dud

I have been collecting the kid's trash for about a week now. You know that trash that you find in between the cushions, or casually thrown on the floor without a care in the world. The trash that usually gets magically placed by a whimsical fairy in a kingdom called the trash can. Yes, you all know what I'm talking about.

Well, this whimsical fairy has had enough of her trash duty.

So, there will be a few "duds" in the Easter Eggs. Yes, Popsicle wrappers with their gooey stickiness. Candy wrappers that never made it in to the waste kingdom. Yogurt tops that land poetically all on the floor. All of this will fill some plastic eggs.

I should video tape their sweet little joyful faces when they pop open the eggs, only to discover trash. I'm so mean, but so is leaving trash.

Maybe, the whimical garbage fairy will be able to sit back with a glass of wine, and take some much needed time off.

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup peanut butter or Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick oats
1/4 cup of your favorite crushed girl scout cookie
1/4 cup of your favorite chopped nut

Directions:
1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper inside.
2. In a large sauce pan add butter, brown sugar, honey, and peanut butter. Stir often, over medium heat. When mixture starts to boil stir for 2 minutes more and remove from heat. Add vanilla.
3. Stir in oats, nuts, and cookies. Pour into pan and level out.
4. Place bars in fridge for 30 minutes, and then cut to desired shape.

Enjoy!

THE CROODS Movie Review

I took my 3 children to see The Croods in 3D. They range in age from 15-6 years old. We all enjoyed seeing this movie. My youngest was still talking about it the next day. I would compare it to the movies Ice Age & Rio. So if you liked either of those movies, plan to see this one.

My kids posing after the movie

It has plenty of action, right from the beginning. The story kept you interested with laugh out loud humor & just enough romance & suspense.

I enjoyed the colorful animation & scenery. My girls especially liked the rainbow colored tiger. It was definitely worth seeing in 3D. Many times I saw my kids reaching their hands out to try to catch the items coming off the screen. I remember in one scene there were dandelion fluffs floating all around.

Ryan Reynolds is Guy

Afterward my kids discussed which character they were most like. And of course some of my favorite actors voiced the characters, including Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, & Ryan Reynolds.

Go see THE CROODS, in theaters Friday March 22!

A Magical Night at Disney On Ice

My daughter, Keira, was so excited about attending Disney on Ice Dare to Dream that she had trouble sleeping. I was suppose to wake her up at 6 am on the morning of the event so that she could paint her nails.

We had 6 tickets courtesy of Feld Entertainment. Each child thought long and hard about which friend they would take along to make the evening magical. Each of my two daughters chose to take their best friends.

I had planned the night before to pack the girls an assortment of crowns and wands to take with us. Being that I do princess parties, for my face painting business, I already had quite a selection.

By the time the show actually started, my daughter Keira was besides herself with excitement. Her wand was flying in the air as a salute to her fellow princesses. Her eyes were wider than two marbles. Her princess dreams were coming true.

The show, as always, was spectacular. The costumes were my favorite part. They were beautifully made to look just like each character. It made me dream about trying on some of the gloriously ruffled tulle dresses, so I could feel like a princess for a few moments. Until I would fall and brake something on the ice, because that's how I roll.

Even the older girls enjoyed themselves. I think they admired all of the jumps and leaps, because both of them love gymnastics.

Here is a picture of the Mom Among Chaos group, and all of the kids we made wonderful memories with.

Next time Disney on Ice rolls into town make a wonderful memory with your kids. Who doesn't want to be a Disney Princess? I know I want to be one.

Girl Scout Cookies & Throat Lozenge

This is my youngest, Keira. She loves being a Daisy. She was on her way to sell Girl Scout cookies when she decided to crown herself to sell more cookies. How could you not buy a box of Thin Mints from this cutie?

This morning I liked to have choked, from laughing so hard. Keira had just finished throwing a fit. Faith and her were fighting in the car over who gets to sit in the favorite spot. Which in kid terms means whatever your favorite seat is, it shall also be mine, just to piss you off.

Keira was complaining about her throat hurting from screaming her head off.

"Mom, I need a throat lozenge because it will remove all of the scratches off my throat. After it removes all of the scratches, it goes down my tummy. Then I poop it out."

Wow, I didn't know that they work that way. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Keratin and Eyelash Extension Update

It's been about a month since I had my Keratin treatment and eyelash extensions. There have been ups and downs with both.

The eyelash extensions began to get clumpy and bunch together right away. I called up to the place that did them and they wanted to know if I am a side sleeper. Of course I am, and that is why one side is bunched together.

I highly recommend them for vacation. It was wonderful not having to apply mascara and always looking like I have makeup on. Also, not getting raccoon eyes was pretty terrific.

I have lost some of them, but a ton of them remain. They still look OK, but just don't look too close. My husband laughs at them every night. He doesn't know the difference between an eyelash and a eyebrow, because he will say your eyebrows are looking crazy, when he is really talking about my eyelashes.

It costs $30 bucks to have them removed. I'm cheap, so I guess I will have odd eyelashes for awhile.

My hair is still smooth from the Keratin treatment. It didn't do much good with the 100% humidity in Mexico, but when I came back it was straight.

It still requires me to blow dry it each time I wash it. Otherwise, it looks weird. I do have to admit that having wavy hair is actually a blessing because wash and go is way easier and less time consuming. I now have to set my alarm an extra 10 minutes early because of having to blow dry.

I would definitely do the eyelash extensions again, and maybe even the Keratin treatment.
