Have I mentioned (10 or 20 thousand times) how much I LOVE Old Navy and Crowdtap?! And I especially love then together when Crowdtap lets me go try out a new Old Navy item! This time I got to go with a friend to pick out shorts, and I cannot wait to tell you about it! First off, check out this seasons selection of shorts here.

There are a lot of cute styles, but I have to admit, I was quite nervous that they would not have anything long enough for me. I have to have shorts that are knee length (or nearly knee length), and the options for that were few and far between. However, I was able to find a few options.


And I was happy to settle on this pair here:

The friend I took with me was my daughter. She has sprouted in size and now is only slightly smaller than I am (much skinnier, but only a but shorter-we can now share shoes). She can get away with shorter shorts, so we were able to try a lot more options for her:




The ones she settled on were these:


All in all we had a BLAST trying on shorts at Old Navy and getting a new pair each. My only complaint was that there was not a big enough selection of long shorts. (Maybe I should have gone shopping in Utah?!)

Please note by way of Disclosure that I was given a coupon for me to get a free pair of shorts and for my friend to also get a free pair of shorts. Thanks Old Navy and Crowdtap for providing that!!

I feel so very very badly about my lack of posts!! It has been very busy and crazy here. I will do a personal update very soon, but today I want to tell you a bit about an amazing product, the EZstringer! How often have you lost the drawstring to a sweatshirt and had to sit there for hours restringing it?! I can tell you, I have done that A LOT!!!! With 5 kids I feel like I spend a lot of time doing little tasks that take a long time. That is one of the real time drainers, so I was SOOOO excited to be asked to review this product!

What is it?

This is how they describe their product:

EZstringer is a cool new product that restrings any drawstring in a manner of seconds back into clothing. As seen on the Discovery channel's, Pitchmen Show, and in Real Simple magazine as the problem solver of the month!

I would describe it as a time saving, genius invention!

What did I think?

This is a time saving, ingenious product! Really! Oh and BTW, I LOVE that the letter I got with the review was signed from Valli Ross (helping Mom of the inventor daughter). So not only is this a fantastic product that really I think everyone should have on hand, it is a family company where mom is helping daughter with her great idea! Way to go Mom!!!

I really love this product a lot and I want to show you how quick and easy it is to use. I think you will love it as much as I do once you see this:


Did you notice how QUICK that was?! Amazing!

How can you get one?

Well, you can buy a 3 pack of EZstringer's on their website here: www.EZstringer.com (for only $10)!! AND for those cases where you have totally lost the drawstring, They also have a 12 pack of drawstrings you can buy for only $9.98! LOVE it!! Can't wait to try it? Read on to see how to enter to WIN one!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I just wanted to throw out a quick not to all my loyal fans to appologize for the lack of posts. As mentioned before, we are miving in less than 2 months across the country to Scottsdale, AZ. We are trying to sell our lovely home in Omaha is this tough selling market and it is much harder on me than I expected it to be. Thus the lack of posts. I am constantly worried about keeping the house perfect for showings and I am always improving things. It is really keeping me busy and stressed. I was just working on the Omaha grocery price matches for this week, and a videographer stopped by to video my house. It was unexpected and my house was not ready for the first time in 2 months as I have 2 sick kids today. So, it is being rescheduled and I need to make sure my house is ready for whenever they can come back (hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow-fingers crossed!!)

Anyway-my point is this, I will get the grocery deals up and I have a couple upcoming reviews and giveaways and will hopefully have the chance to search out some deals to share after I get the house perfect again! In the meantime, if you know anyone looking for a house to buy in Omaha, check ours out, and please feel free to share this with your friends and family: Our house listing.

Also, we are looking for a 4 bedroom house to rent in Scottsdale Arizona. If you know of any great houses in that area looking for great renters, let me know!! :) Thanks for you support and patience!

I may have mentioned (about a hundred times) that I am moving across the country so I am currently trying to sell the house I live in. I know a lot of you have also had to sell houses while living in them, but for those that have not had to, here's a little secret-Showings can come ANY TIME and you have to have a clean house that smells pleasant. In fact, apparently the smell buyers prefer to smell is "clean" they want to think the house has just been cleaned. There can be no unpleasant odors, and they do not want to smell masking sprays (apparently it makes buyers think you are trying to hide something). So, you have to have a clean, and clean Smelling house.

As I have been trying to keep my house clean and smelling clean, I have used a lot of different cleaning supplies-A LOT! In fact I have probably bought more cleaning supplies in the past few months than in my whole adult life. Just to find the best products. So, I was JUMPING at the chance I had to review Natural House cleaning products-Flushy, Trashy, and Sinky. I cannot wait to tell you what I thought, but first a little about the products.

What is it?

Natural House are Natural house hold cleaning products and they are a revolutionary! Why, you ask? Here is what they say about that: "Because Natural House probiotic cleaning products brings you a revolutionary, new method of cleaning the most dirty areas of your home. Utilizing non-toxic, probiotic cleaning agents, Natural House products are strong enough for commercial clean-up, yet safe and gentle for all of the members of your Natural House." And here is a little about their product (from them):

•Our products use an eco-friendly cleaning method of probiotics that create a beneficial, odor eating ecosystem to naturally drive out and digest odors at their source. 

•Natural House's plant-based ingredients are eco-friendly, non-toxic and biodegradable to naturally fight the toughest problems you face in your house.  

•Our products, Sinky and Flushy even break down and digest fats, oil, grease, and solid waste to ensure your disposal, pipes, drain lines or septic tank run smoothly.  

•Our cleaners contain good probiotics which continue to scour, clean, consume odors, grime, grease, and germs, and they continue to do so until your next weekly treatment!

What to know more about the probiotics and how they work? Watch this video:

What did I think?

I L-O-V-E-D them!! OK, so the three products I got and have been using for the past 2 months, Flushy, Trashy, and Sinky were all fantastic. In my attempt to keep my house clean and smelling clean, there are some trouble areas and these products target them.

First, the toilets which our good friend Flushy fixes. Toilets are terrible because everytime you clean them, they get re-used and nasty. I used Flushy and it cleaned the mess and some how made it easier for me to be able to keep the toilets clean and smelling good. And I have to admit, I love watching the foaming and the smell is great (I usually hate cleaning supply smells).

Second trouble area: Sinks which Sinky helps with. Again, with foaming action, Sinky cleans out the drains and keeps the sinks smelling and looking fresh and clean.

The last trouble area is the Garbage cans which our good buddy Trashy helps with. Can I say that Trashy is my favorite. I know, I know, I shouldn't have favorites amoung my cleaning products, but I do, I really really do. Trashy smells awesome and really, REALLY helps eliminate the stinky smells that make their way in my trash (and I must admit I have also used it in my boys stinky shoe closet..PEE EW!!).

Where can you get it?

You can purchase Natural House products directly on their website: www.naturalhouse.com, or you can purchase Natural House on Amazon. You can also connect with Natural House on Facebook and Twitter. AND one lucky Beckee's Deals reader will win a 30 day supply of these great products (the same thing I reviewed)
