Tilex "Cancel The Mold Show In Your Bathroom" Sweepstakes!

Hello!

How are you all today? I am glad all my Agents have a couple of minutes to meet us here at PI of Products. We have something else to investigate. MOLD!!

We used to have a Travel Trailer. We would bring the Trailer with us alot! One problem was that around the windows there would be alot of condensation and it would slowly get the beds wet. We just had a towel on the side of the beds and cleaned them off when they needed it. We were going on a trip that we would not need the trailer for we we left it at some friend's house. We made sure to leave the electricity plugged in so that it would not destroy the trailer and the things we had on there. We had a great trip! Then we came back and we were told that there had been a lightning storm and the electricity went out. We went and looked at our trailer and yes, the electricity did go out. There was another problem though. It had rained alot and our trailer started leaking! So by the time we got back there was mold growing in our trailer. Especially around the windows. And it smelled sooo bad! Then came some loooooooong days of cleaning. There were many things that had to be thrown out! And once we did go through everything and make sure anything that needed thrown away (which was alot of it!) was thrown away then we had to clean the trailer! Scrubbing everything! My allergies were bothering me when I went in the trailer so I couldn't even help except for short times until it alot of it had been cleaned.

Since that has happened we have been trying to make sure we keep everything clean and mold free! We sure don't want that to happen again! Here are some tips to keep your house free of mold.

1. If there is condensation around your window wipe it off! You need to make sure these stay dry. When we came back from our trip there was alot of mold around the windows where there had been condensation.

2. If a pipe or something starts leaking- get it fixed but until then make sure you keep it dry. Not cleaning it up can result in mold growing there.

3. If there are wet cloths - don't just stick them in a cupboard somewhere, or under the counter. They need washed! If you don't this is just asking for mold.

And lastly- Tilex just recently came out with a Mold Stain and Mildew Stain, Refreshing Breeze. I will have to investigate it and try it out! That is not all! To introduce their newest product they are having a "Cancel The Mold Show In Your Bathroom" sweepstakes. There are chances to win one of three 40" flat screen TVs. They are also giving away other prizes and if you share the news with your friends you will receive an extra entry for each one that you invite! Make sure you go check it out.

Enter the Ultimate Mess Contest and a Favorite Cookie Recipe!

Hello!

How are all my Agents today? The weather has been pretty hot lately but today was not to bad. I have been investigating again and I found another contest! It is a website called Recipes For Fun and it was started by Clorox Clean-Ups. This was done so that Clorox Clean-Ups can help you clean up your mess after having craft time, baking lessons, or cooking creations! In celebration of this website being started they are having a contest. Clorox Clean-Ups is having a Ultimate Mess Contest where you can sign up to try and win $10,000 towards an Ultimate Mess Party! Also there will be daily wins just by registering or sharing a recipe! Make sure you head over and enter.

Speaking of recipes I want to share something with you. We are on a short trip to visit some friends and before we left we started baking so that we had some snacks/cookies to bring with us on our trip. My little sister was having fun helping to bake for our trip. My older sister made some really yummy cookies and I decided to bake (okay, I guess I am really just making) some No-Bakes! I love these cookies. We actually received the recipe from some friends of ours that made them for a Church Get-To-Together. We tried them, loved them, and knew we needed the recipe. Okay so here it is.

Here are the ingredients you will need :

2 Cups of Sugar

1/2 Cup of Milk

1 Stick of Butter

3 Tbsp. of Cocoa Powder

3 Cups of Quick Oats

2/3 Cup of Peanut Butter (Chunky or Non-Chunky. Whichever you prefer)

1 Tsp. of Vanilla Extract

You will also need :

Stove, Wax Paper, Pan

First you combine 2 Cups of Sugar, 1/2 Cup of Milk, 1 Stick of Butter and 3 Tbsp. of Cocoa Powder in a pan and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for one minute and then turn the stove off and add 3 Cups of Quick Oats, 2/3 Cup of Peanut Butter and 1 Tsp. of Vanilla Extract. Stir it all together really well and then spoon the cookies onto the wax paper. Then let them cool/solidify and try to keep everybody from eating them right away! :D That is one of the hardest parts! Seriously. I had to hide them so that my Dad would not try taking them. I put two pans in the pantry and one in the oven. Which I will not ever do again! My sister went out to bake a pie and we turned the oven on, I had forgotten to take the cookies out and when we went to put the pie in we found burning and very baked No-Bakes!

These are so easy to make a child could make them (with an adult's help with the boiling part) unless if you leave the cookies in the oven like I did. :D Do you have a favorite recipe for cookies? Have you ever made a mistake like that? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Hike Card Game Review and Giveaway

Today I am going to be reviewing the card game Hike. Hike is a fun yet still a game that teaches your kids interesting facts about a trail, taking a hike and some of the wildlife or creations you may see along the way.
Game Play - Each player receives 7 card. Each player may play 1 card on their turn. Each card may be followed by 3 cards which are each listed on the previous card. Example ( The Trail card may be followed by either another trail, a peak, or a lake.) There are also specialty cards that creates twists and turns during the game which can be played on any card. Example (Avalanche, Drought, Earthquake etc.) If you cannot play a card then you are eliminated from the hand. You win the game by having the fewest cards in your hand when the game is over.
Hike is an enjoyable game especially liked by younger kids for things like the poop card. (A specialty card.) You can play to different points decided upon before the game starts. While this game is fun to play it also can teach your kids different things about the outdoors that unfortunately today many children know nothing of, because they are too interested in video's, games and friends.

One of my readers will win their own copy of Hike from Moosetache Games

Abundant Harvest Kids Board Game Review and Giveaway

Abundant Harvest for Kids is a great teaching and learning tool for both parents and children.
The concept is the same as the adult version only in this one they use problems that may arise for a child or kid while in school, with friends, or on a day to day basis.
Some of the scenarios used in this game are "A new family just moved in across the street from your home. While you are outside playing, you notice that they have kids your age who are helping their parents unload some boxes." "You have an opportunity to get "extra credit" in English class if you write a book report on a famous local person. Most of your friends are not going to write the report for "extra credit" because they don't care too much about getting a better grade in the class. Your mother asks whether you are going to write the report?"
This is a great tool for a parent to use to discuss problems that may arise with their child. Issues that today are not talked about or punished as they should be. Issues like lying, cheating, disobedience, peer pressure etc.

One of My Readers Will Receive Their Own Abundant Harvest Game.
The first person to read this review and go to the Abundant Harvest Contact Page and contact them saying that they came from my blog will win 1 Abundant Harvest Game.
Please leave a comment here after going to their website so I know it is over.
