Healthy Odor Control Review/Giveaway

Having a house full of boys can sometimes lead to some pretty stinky situations.  There’s just something about boys….and I know girls are stinky too, but sometimes a mom needs a bit of extra help to get rid of odors that can choke the living daylights out of her as she’s just innocently walking down the hall, especially past the kids’ bathroom.

Healthy Odor Control is one tool a mom can use to get rid of those choking odors.  It actually works by releasing turpenes (essential oils) into the air.  These turpenes are antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial.  They actually absorb the molecules that are floating around in the air causing the odor to remain in the room, thereby neutralizing that odor.

I actually received the Healthy Odor Control Gel in a jar.  It came with a little crock I can use to pour the gel in every so often, probably once a week or so, as needed.  The gel has a very citrusy type of scent to it, and although it’s not so strong and overbearing that it bothers me, it’s still strong enough to spread throughout my house, I noticed.  I placed it in my bathroom  next to the trash can (that’s full of dirty diapers) and the toilet.  It definitely worked to eliminate any odor, but it also had the citrusy scent of its own.  The gel itself is clear and looks as though it’s cubed, and it’s sitting in liquid.  While it’s safe, being non-toxic, anti-flammable, and eco-friendly, I still just tried to keep it put up away from little hands, as it’s a very large jar of gel, and I still wouldn’t want my toddler to get ahold of it.

You can purchase the Gel in a jar for $$18.35, which is quite reasonable, as it is a very large jar and would last for several weeks, especially if adding a little bit, at a time, to the crock holder. I would definitely be prone to use this in a bathroom, locker room, nursery (away from little hands but next to a diaper pail), the kitchen, around a kitty litter box, etc.

Guest Post: Cupcakes on a Tea Plate, and Mom is a Guest

Cupcakes on a Tea Plate, and Mom is a Guest

A few years ago, my dear son (16) Matthew bought me a pretty china set. It included a plate, tea cup, saucer and tea plate. It was a dainty white with tiny blue flowers. I just love it! I still remember standing in the supermarket with him, looking at the display. “Oh, Matthew!” I said with delight, “I just love this!” He gallantly smiled at me and said, “Is that what you want, Mother?” I nodded. “It will be your Mother’s Day present then.” He kindly picked up the box and bought it for me, using his own hard-earned money. My precious son!

Now, whenever the children set the table, they make sure I get my special plate and cup. Very often, when I am having a little break, I will put two mini cupcakes on my tea plate and enjoy them.

One day, Amy (14) got some mini marshmallows. She offered me some. I put them on my little tea plate and sat in my favorite chair. I put the plate beside me and ate in quiet elegance. Nicole (20) walked by and grinned. She then ran and told the others. I could hear her giggling in the other room, “What kind of person eats marshmallows on a plate?!!!” The children are easily amused.

When I visited Rachel (my oldest at 21), we brought some luggage with us and were planning to spend a few days with her. All the children were getting bags. “Mom…. make sure you get one too,” shouted one of the younger ones. Rachel immediately corrected her sibling, in her nonchalant way. “No, Mom’s a guest. She doesn’t have to do anything.” (gentle smiles)

All my dear children have this sense of duty about their beloved mother. They all take care of me. This is probably from years of seeing me ill with cancer and such things. They know I am frail so they are used to honoring and blessing me in these sweet little ways.

What fun we have with our children. They are so precious.

Blessings
