Terro Ant Bait - Review & Giveaway

Do you have a problem with Ants at your place?
We had a ton of them out on our sidewalk...
Not sure where they came from ( I did not see any food.)
Thank goodness for us, they disappeared as fast as they arrived!

I mean, I am all about visitors for the holidays...
But please, give me a little warning and not to be mean, but I would prefer humans to ants!
:)
I was sent Terro Ant bait to review and I was excited to use it and get rid of them as quickly as they showed up...
But, they were gone before the ant bait was delivered.
You better believe it, we are prepared now! :)

I was sent the Indoor Ant Bait system.
With this, the bait system slowly kills the ant...
Why slowly? So that the ant has time to take the killing solution back to the other ants!
:) Great idea!!!!
The Ant Bait is made from Borax, making it safe for use in houses with children and pets... but does not have a good final outcome for ants! Talk about a major PLUS for our house!!!!

We were also sent the Outdoor Ant Killer.
Now, I like the way they packaged this one!
It comes in a "shaker bag" therefor eliminating the need for a separate spreader!
You just shake this bag around the house, setting up a barrier, and then close the bag!
Yes, it comes in a resealable bag!

Terro recommends this together in a two step process for maximum results...
and guess what?!

They are offering one lucky reader a chance to win both!!!!

    We had ants around the house, but I heard they like wet, moist places so we fixed our old drains. Guess what? Ants went away.

    Raid is supposed to actually work. Too bad I wasted so much money on that stuff. Ants go right by it. Seems like anything that isnt exposed enough doesn't get the attentions of the ants. Terro works, but 2 weeks later, they came back. Set out another set, and got them. Seems like if it rains, ants come in. franklin2010web(at)aim {dot}com

    You know I need this. I have heard that if you hop one foot and put your fingers in your ears you can get rid of hiccups.

    I heard putting out some cornmeal will kill them because they can't digest it. We tried it, and as far as I could tell they loved it.

    The Gardening book said sugar ants will never go across crushed peppermint so I sacrificed my crushed candy cane to test and they all rushed to it like cattle to water. Guess the Old Wives were telling tales.

    Ants find the smell of cinnamon repugnant and they will relocate their hill to get away from the smell.

    We used borax and baby powder and it did work!

    But I've found the indoor ant baits by Terro work MUCH better (and easier). :)

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
