Bring the Stars to You

Amazing and the best glow in the dark star stickers I have seen yet. We have done the kind for the dollar store, and other upper scale stores, but they always fall of the walls, ceiling etc.

These stars, moons, planets, and rockets stay bright and keep recharging over and over again. My picture is taken after my husband just holding these by the lights for a few seconds you can also wee where his fingers were when they were covered in his hands.

My daughters love these and I might even take a few for the porch ceiling for the a nice touch during the summer while sitting out there relaxing in the evening.

I am not sure how these are when you remove them yet. If you do it right away I don't see there being a problem but over time not sure if these will pull the paint off or leave a residue behind.

These Glow in the Dark Stickers can be found on Amazon.

House-Autry Mills

Being able to try new products and tell my readers, friends, and family about them is one reason I do reviews.

Every once in a while I am able to try a new food product and this time House-Autry Mills sent me Chicken Breader which is like an item that is put in bag with your raw chicken then shaken until completely coated and then either fried or baked depending on taste.

We tried this by baking it with our chicken and some pieces looked like they had been fried. I think the next time we have this we will try it fried instead of baked to see how much of a difference there is in the breading.


You can find a store near you to purchase this product or their many other items like grits, sauces, etc. here.

ExfoliMATE | Magic Exfoliating Body Cloth

I used to use loofah's to exfoliate but found that later I would have bleeding under my skin which we found out to be a bleeding disorder, so I had to stop using them. With the ExfoliMate cloth I can still wash off the dead skin without causing bleeding because it is much more gentle then a regular loofah.

This also has a long spas so that you can use it to get to your back say for backne problems. This would have been a great product to have for my children who had this problem for a while. I can easily reach my back during showers by just adding a bit of soap or shower gel to the cloth, while holding it with both hands behind my back I use the back and forth motion to was my back. I love it.


The ExfoliMate cloth is long, comes in a animal print, and it easy to use.

You can find the Exfolimate on Green Heart Labs.

Eleclover UV Flashlight

The Eleclover UV flashlight is between the size of those little lights and a full size light which is just the right size for keeping in a drawer.

This is a great UV light for checking to see where spots are on your floors that you can't see with the naked eye.

The bottom unscrews so that you can put in 3 AA batteries which are not included, and has a wrist strap so you don't drop it while in use.

To me this is the right size for my hands. It is comfortable to use and super bright. It has a little push button to turn the light on and off.

Great for seeing where pets might have had an accident that you missed while cleaning. You know you can smell it but can't quite find where it is. Well now you can with just a pass of the light over the floor you can see just where the trouble spot is.

Confessions of a Clothing Hoarder Part 1

I read a post tonight and it got me motivated. Not enough to start it this minute as it will probably take days or even weeks to get done, but I do need to get started somewhere. See I have to schedule everything around my health, mainly my Fibromyalgia which can mess the best intentions up.

I can literally make 100 or more outfits without any of the items being reused other then the bottoms. That isn't counting the clothes that don't fit me. To be honest I still have clothes from when I was in High School, and even though my oldest child is now 25. Some of the clothes are as old as he is. No joke.

So after reading this blog post from another blogger I really need to get on the ball and go through my clothes. I won't even go there with my children's clothes, or heaven forbid my husband's clothes. We need a complete makeover for all of our closets.

One look at my bathroom/laundry room and the wall of  clean clothes piled up in baskets that almost reach the ceiling that I haven't folded, that the kids have to look through to get clothes because I don't have the energy to actually fold and put it all away before they go tearing through it all for their favorite shirt.

As for my husband's and my clothes, well they are overflowing out of the closet, stacked on the dressers, as well as over filling the dressers. I will attach a picture of the before below and then do several other blogs later showing just the work on our clothes alone and if I still have the motivation I will do the girls clothes of course with their help, to at least make it a little easier on myself.

I do know how all of the started with clothes at least for me. I grew up only having a few outfits because my family just could not afford clothes. So as a teenager I had a small income from babysitting neighbors children so I would hit the clearance racks as well as a place called the Purple Barn that sells used clothes near us while growing up to fill in and take over where our family couldn't afford. This started when I was about 12 years old.

We tell our children all of the time how blessed they are to have so many clothes to choose from. When my husband moved from his mother's to our home before we go married he literally moved in with one milk crate, yes the kind that holds 4 gallons of milk. That is all he had for clothes besides what was on his back. So he too when we had our own place got on the clothes wagon because even though he had clothes he never really had much.

So between him and I and then our 6 children we kept getting clothes. Yes I reused clothing from one child to the next but it didn't stop us from hitting great clearance sales and buying more when what we really already had was quite enough. So everything snowballed into what we have now.

I have to come clean in another area of our life too, half of our basement is filled with rubbermaid totes of clothes that are either too small or clothes for my daughters to grow into from their older sisters. I have saved the smaller clothes for my two granddaughters and even the baby clothes for future grandchildren. I will post pictures of this when we get to this. 

We are not quite hoarders just the kind of people who want to be prepared and overly in some cases. I have let go of all of our clothes for our boys unless there are a few we missed down in the basement because both of them have moved out and are on their own. Girls seem to run more heavily with our family and dresses never really go out of style so we hung onto all of those. I even saved shoes of different sizes each size in their own tote.

As you can read, we really need to thin out our basement, dressers, closets, and life. We aren't getting any younger, my health isn't getting better, and our clothes are starting to swallow us up. So join me in the days and weeks ahead on the journey to clean out our closets and take back part of our lives.

I want to be clear that before I worked outside of the home or came down with Fibromyalgia you would never find clothes around the house like this. This is one reason I have decided to get the family on the band wagon to cut back on what we have.
