Finish Quantumatic Review and GIVEAWAY!

FINISH QUANTUMATIC is a new detergent dispenser and refill for your dishwasher. It provides the power of Quantum for 12 washes!! No prerinsing is needed for the quantumatic. The FINISH QUANTUMATIC is easy to use. All you have to do is place the refill in the dispenser, close and lock lid; Clip the QUANTUMATIC on the top rack of your dishwasher and turn your dishwasher on like you always do. After 12 washes replace with a refill and start over.

This detergent has powerful enzymes to losen burnt on food, bleach for tough stains, and a rinse agent for the shine. There is a counter on the side to show you when it's time for a refill and how many washes you have left.

Finish Jet-Dry Turbo Dry is another great product that includes a drying agent that drys your dishes so that no spots are left on your dishes from water left on the dishes after the wash. The Jet-dry is used in the rinse agent dispenser of your dishwasher and is released during the rinse cycle.

I was sent these 2 products for review and I must say that I was impressed with the results. With 4 kids at home, I'm all about making dishwashing simple. The FINISH QUANTUMATIC dispenser was very easy to use and worked wonders on my dishes. With the help of Finish Jet-dry turbo dry, these 2 products left my dishes sparkly and clean with no water spots like regular washes normally do.

For the best part, Finish would like to provide one of my readers with the same 2 products that I reviewed!

Ball Season is coming to an end!

Baseball has consumed our lives for quite awhile now and I loved every minute of it! I love watching my boys play ball. Stratton is finished with his games and Trenton has a couple more next week and we'll be done. I will miss it! Stratton pitched for the first time this year and he did really well! My little man played 2nd. He looks so little out there on that big field, but he acts 10 foot tall and bullet proof! He is very entertaining to watch!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my absolute favorite cereal! I love it! I can eat it dry or with milk. My kids also love Lucky Charms and Cherrios. General Mills, in my opinion, has the best cereals to offer.

Keitha's Baby Shower

We had Keitha's baby shower and it went great! I do have pics and I will post them when I get them uploaded. For those of you who don't know, Keitha is my very best friend. She is due on the 23rd with her first baby. It's a boy and his name will be Cayden Jace! I can't wait either! I'm so excited for her. She has wanted a baby for as long as I've known her and I already have 4, so it's definitely her turn.

Keitha got lots of great stuff at her shower. A bunch of cute outfits and a couple of really cute Christmas ornaments. We are hoping that he arrives before Christmas! Jody's brothers' wife, Melissa is also having her first baby and it's a boy as well! She is Jan. 4th.(the day after my birthday!) I really don't think she will make it that far though. So, I will have to little babies to hold and love and then leave with Mama! This will be a change! I'm used to me being the one with the babies!

I can't wait to post pics from the showers and, of course of the sweet little boys when they arrive! I plan to be there for both, so I will be taking lots of pics.
