My friends with boys always said “oh you think girls are messy, you just wait”, and boy were they right! My son keeps my washing machine going 24/7. Between playing in the mud, to deciding his hair gel goes anywhere but his hair, we are changing outfits like they are going out of style.
As you know I don’t have time to wash a shirt fifteen times to get a stain out; when I put these stained, dirty clothes in the washer I expect them to come out clean – washer-dryer-fold and go! That is why I love the new 3-in-1 Micro Clean Technology fromWhite Cloud.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Honey Bunches of Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But unfortunately mornings are one of the busiest parts of our day, and we don’t take those words to heart.
I hate to admit it, but 90% of the time my kids eat breakfast at school. Our local school board provides a healthy breakfast to all the kids, and allow them to eat breakfast during morning announcements. This is a huge time saver for us, so during most days of the week we don’t eat breakfast at home. The kids munch down at school, and I take my breakfast to work.
I work while I eat, so messy breakfast foods won’t work for me – I usually eat peanut butter & toast for breakfast every single day, so I was excited to try the Honey bunches of Oats Morning Energy and see how it compared. I decided to put some of the Chocolately Almond Crunch in some strawberry yogurt. OMG! I was in heaven with the flavors and the crunch (and I admit I ate a few extra handfuls of the cereal as I worked. It was too good to stop eating!) The Cinnamon Crunch was also yummy, (But I ate that for a snack after dinner in a bowl with Almond Milk – delish)
My most favorite part of HOney Bunches of Oats Morning Energy?

When we decided to adopt a dog, I didn’t give much thought to dog hair. As a kid growing up with had yorkie poo’s (yorkie and poodle mix) and believe it or not they just didn’t shed. You could wear black from head to toe and roll around on my floor or couch and most likely not get a speck on you (I guess that’s also thanks to my Mom’s superior housekeeping skills). But I never thought about how a dog could literally turn your normal day-to-day routines upside down!
When I was searching online for a dog to adopt I had to keep in mind that I needed a dog that could survive my kids be good with kids, be big enough for my husband’s ego (he hated ‘ankle biters’) and of course one that was cute! It wasn’t too long that I found Harry (aka Buddy). I guess the name should of given it away – but it literally never crossed my mind. But boy did I find out fast! Soon I couldn’t sit on my couch without getting hair all over me, and watch out if he decides to give you a hug! (He is quite a loving fella).
I of course started my research – yes, I could cut his hair short (which we do in the summer) but it was long for a reason. Being a mix between a Boxer and a German Shepard the dog was just going to shed.. and I had to get used to it. He went in his cage before I got dressed for work, I carry a lint roller in my purse, in my car, and one at the office (just in case). I yell at the kids not to sit on the floor if we plan on going anywhere, and I apologize profusely when friends come over and they get loved on by Buddy, or happen to sit on my couch.
So when I was presented with the opportunity to review the all new Dyson DC65 with TFT and dusting brush I literally jumped out of my chair. I just knew this was the answer I was looking for – and Dyson did not disappoint.
DC65 Animal is engineered for outstanding cleaning performance and ease of use. There’s also a Tangle-free Turbine tool to remove dirt and hair from carpets and upholstery. With its self-adjusting cleaner head and re-engineered brushbar, bristles dig deeper into carpets to remove more dust and dirt, while providing superior performance on hard floors. The DC65 has been built to achieve the highest suction at the cleaner head, twice the suction as any other vacuum.¹ The DC65 has remodeled cyclones and uses the latest Ball™ technology.
One of my most favorite parts is the Tangle-Free Turbine Tool –DC65 Animal comes with the Dyson Tangle-free Turbine tool, the only turbine tool that doesn’t tangle. It uses counter-rotating heads with brushes to remove hair and dirt from carpets and upholstery and releases it straight into the bin.
This vacuum is really is the Jack of All Trades. It can clean carpets and hardwood floors removing dust, dirt,pet hair (and sometimes little children’s messes) from the home. It includes a cleaning wand and accessories to tackle hard to reach jobs like the dust bunnies that collect near the ceiling. Other common vacuums rely on bags to trap all the dirt, which clogs and causes suction to drop, but the 180AW of suction makes sure you get every last bit of dust hanging around! The new Radial Root Cyclone™ airflow is also designed to help remove more dirt, dust, and allergens from the home.
Besides the awesome technology and the suction (seriously, I was sweeping behind a desk, and it literally sucked up one of my daughter’s socks! I mean all the way through the extension into the vacuum! Now that’s a some powerful suction!) There are some other great features of the Dyson DC65

Sugar is this century’s killer, like opium dens in the 19th century it has taken over the Western world, slowly creeping into everything we eat and drink. As obesity figures sky rocket and diabetes continues to grow at an unsustainable rate, health experts are warning us – something needs to be done.
Over two thirds of Britain’s are now classed as overweight by Public Health England. The obesity pandemic continues to cost the NHS £6 billion every year, and is predominantly caused by a sedentary lifestyle coupled with an increase in junk food consumed by society.
A senior Dutch health official has spoken out and claimed that what was once seen as a harmless treat, could in fact be a sinister killer for children and adults alike. Aart Jan van der Lelij claims that; “Sugar is actually a form of addiction. It’s just as hard to get rid of as smoking.”
Can you remember the last time you went a whole day without sugar? I’m not just talking about a day without chocolate or sweets, I mean completely. No fruit, no processed foods, no bread– because sugar is rife in all of them.
If you can’t remember the last time that you went even a few hours without sugar, I encourage you to try. Then you can see for yourself exactly the effect that the chemical named “sucrose” has on your body. Sugar deprivation is no joke, it causes horrible side effects and withdrawal symptoms, similar to a drug detox.
Tough to Avoid
One of the main pitfalls of sugar is that it is everywhere.
Those reduced fat yogurts you purchased last week, thinking they were the perfect thing for a healthy breakfast? Chocked full of sugar.
Scientists scarily estimate that up to 95% of the UK could potentially be addicted, with almost all being unaware of the situation. Maybe that explains why the average Britain eats the equivalent of one hundred and sixty tea spoons a week.
Scientifically, sugar and the effect that it has on your brain could be arguably as dangerous as heroin. Yes, it is readily available in shops and widely distributed, but sugar is one of the foremost contributors to health problems like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and more.
These issues can all be avoided, just by monitoring the amount of sugar you eat. There is no easy answer to the problem – it is just personal responsibility. Eat healthy, and if you do need sugar then you can get it from natural sources like fruit or honey. Much less destructive, and better for your body.
Lelij is just one of the many health experts crying out publically over the issue that is sugar. Worryingly, he claimed; “This may seem exaggerated and far-fetched but sugar is the most dangerous drug of this time and also everywhere and easy to obtain.” Therein lies the problem.
If you or a loved one is suffering from the effects of sugar addiction, be it through diabetes, obesity or another disease, Rowland’s Pharmacy can help. They can offer advice about healthy alternative to sugar, and a range of weight loss replicate all your favorite foods. Drop in or look online today.
