KABOOM!!!!!!!!


http://h5.sml360.com/-/1ri5m

I received a free sample bottle of NEW KABOOM PLUS DISINFEX and have to admit it is GREAT!!!!!!!

I am very skeptical of all cleaning agents with my home full of men and hard water, but, with my arthritis I didn’t have to scrub hard at all with this great new product! I enjoyed the smell instead of not being able to breathe, and best part is, it was FREE!!!! Come over to Smiley 360 and help make products better with your own reviews!!!

Sandra Bullock said it best!!


“As long as I’m healthy and strong and I don’t let this mind of mine run amok with insecurities about what I am not, I can look in the mirror and like who I see.”

This was her response when told she made it to PEOPLE magazines 2015 Worlds Most Beautiful People, now I normally do not pay attention to those kind of things, I feel a lot of celebrities are just normal people who have chosen a life in the public eye and yes I am sure a talent doesn’t help. lol! I happened to catch this one page and really felt similar with the expression Sandra made and I am sure she didn’t realize then that it would be a great quote!!!

Mothers Motto


It is easier to build strong children than to fix broken men.

I think about this all the time and know it is true. We as mothers have the responsibility to raise happy, healthy and mentally sound children. I know my boys have hardships, they do not have a male role model to help them grow into men and to teach them how to be men, but, I do not want my boys to grow into adults living as adults trying to compensate for what they did not have as boys. I want them to live full adult lives. I know to some parents, they come first. It is easier for them to let the kids get away with this and that, to not make them do chores or have responsibilities or to teach them they have to take the consequences to their actions. BUT, by doing what is easier for the parent they are laying it on the child to have to fix all this crap when they are adults. The saying, ” easier to build strong children”, It does not mean easier for the parent. It means that child will not have to go through years of therapy trying to make right what their parents should have done right to begin with. I am by far not a perfect mother and I make mistakes and have taught my boys some things by doing one thing and saying another, but, I honestly feel that knowing, realizing and most off all CARING is the main and first step to correcting.

Things that make you go, HHHMMMMM!


When you see a woman walking around with a dark bra on and a light shirt and you think, wow, I can’t believe people act like that.Then, you are running late for an appointment one day and just throw on some clothes, later while in the waiting room or were ever you realize, you have on a black bra and light-colored shirt…HHHMMMMM.

You can not believe it when you see a little kid about 6 or even 8 at the bus stop getting himself off and crossing the streets then walking himself home and you think, wow, where are his parents? Why isnt anyone here to get him off the bus, that poor kid is probably always neglected like that…Then, you are running late getting to the bus stop and your child ends up walking himself home…. HHHMMMMM.

Plants That Repel Ticks & Fleas


Plants That Repel Ticks & Fleas

by Tara Shore

Keep fleas and ticks out of your yard and away from your pets.

 

Ticks and fleas are not a welcome visitor in any yard, especially if you have pets or children. Short of applying pesticides, however, most people don’t do anything to deter these bugs from entering the yard. They may sometimes assume that if they keep their pets indoors or don’t have pets, the yard is free from worry. This isn’t necessarily true, and you don’t have to use chemicals to keep the pests at bay. Instead, plant vegetation around the yard that naturally repels them, and enjoy your yard year-round

Garlic

You can add garlic to your garden and deter ticks from entering. Not only will you get rid of the pests, but as a bonus, you can use it in your cooking when it’s grown. You can also crush cloves of garlic up and spread it around the plant beds at the edges of your lawn to keep ticks from coming in. If you spread cloves around, be warned that it is poisonous to cats. Don’t use it if you have one.

Mint

Mint is an herb often used in teas and other cooking recipes, but it also works at repelling both ticks and fleas as well as many other insects. Keep some on hand in breathable bags near your patio to protect guests from fleas, ticks, ants and mosquitoes. Grow the herb in between plants to not only give the garden a nice scent but to block your yard so that bugs don’t enter.

Rosemary

To add to your garden’s coloring, provide a lovely smell and keep out both fleas and ticks, grow rosemary. It is an evergreen herb, creating a better year-round protection for your yard. When it is ready, you can dry the leaves and sprinkle them in the grass for added protection.

Fleabane Daisy

The fleabane daisy’s name gives away its main function. Although a nice tall flower, which can be worked into your landscaping, the most notable use for this daisy is to repel fleas. As an added benefit, the fleabane daisy also deters ticks, gnats, flies and mosquitoes. The leaves of the flower can be rubbed on your skin or your pet’s fur for added protection.

Chrysanthemums

Chrysanthemums deter both fleas and ticks, as well as add beautiful flowers to your landscaping. Place the flowers randomly around other plants along the edges of your yard to keep pests out. In addition, Chrysanthemums scare off roaches, bedbuds, silverfish, lice and more
