Great Fit for Your Ceiling Fan Light ~ Review

I have such a hard time finding the correct cap size for my ceiling fan light and these Better Homes and Garden DECO 60W Soft White CLASSIC CANDLE 4PK bulbs fit perfectly! Love the sturdy durability of this bulb. Made solid with 4 in a pack gives you enough to switch out your old bulbs to LED. I absolutely think the packaging is awesome. To avoid breakage the top and bottom of each bulb goes into it's own "hole", so no contact is made. They give off a clear clean glow too!

The Pioneer Woman Tritan Tumbler Review

The Pioneer Woman Tritan Tumbler is gorgeous!

Made to be durable in strong plastic.

It appears to be glass until you pick it up and realize it's not. 

Perfect for Summer when outdoors and don't want anything breakable. 

I adore the pattern and color (my favorite). 

The pattern, by the way, 

is raised making this tumbler easy to pick up 

should you need help with gripping. 

A great size at 24 ounces, ample to hold your desired beverage.

Good Bye Bynx, We Miss You!

It's with a heavy heart that I say

Bynx crossed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

She was the best companion for my youngest son.

She would bring him presents -

 grasshoppers, praying mantis, even a mouse or two.

They would of course, have broken legs or spines, 

she didn't want them getting away after all 

before she could gift them.

It seems like yesterday he had just gotten her at 6 wks. old.

She had been through so much in her 20 yrs.

Broken teeth, amputated front leg, kidney disease,

bladder infections and a chronic respiratory issue.

She fought each battle and survived.

She was a survivor!

She can now run with Cyndar, Katie, Toby, Bailey 

I miss all of them and the ones before them so much right now.

I will be taking some time to unplug for a bit.

Everyone stay safe and stay well. ♥

RIP Bynx you are so very loved and so missed

Victor Mole and Gopher Sonic Spike ~ Review

I was very anxious to receive and try 

The Victor Mole and Gopher Solar Sonic Spike.

I have been having issues with Gophers since last Summer.

I have had the ground for 1 month and so far NO NEW mounds!

The Victor Mole and Gopher Solar Sonic Spike 

was easy as pie to install.

Just push into the ground, the spike is very sturdy.

I located near where I had Gopher activity, 

making sure the Sun was able to reach it so it would charge.

And who doesn't like solar? 

I have tried so many ways to get these Gophers gone!

Stoked that The Victor Mole and Gopher Sonic Spike works.

No Care Hanging Flower Pot

I wanted some colorful flowers hanging from the deck roof.

Problem is our Summer temps can reach 100* +, so keeping potted plants, 

especially hanging ones, from drying out is difficult. 

Not wanting to spend much if anything, I just used what I had. 

I found an old ugly plastic pot from a previous plant purchase 

and thought I could cover it to make it look better. 

Out comes my hot glue gun and some burlap trim I picked up at 

Dollar Tree last year sometime. I started covering the container

winging it as I went, gluing where needed. 

I started just inside the rim

Then brought the trim over the rim to cover it.

The trim was approx. 4" wide, 

wide enough to cover the inside top and over the rim.

I flipped the pot over to start covering the bottom section. 

I wanted to cover the seam where the pieces of trim met.

I found a similar trim with lace that I  

 hot glued to cover the seam. 

Had my fingers crossed the hole time with both trims,

 hoping I had enough to cover the container.

Burlap covered plastic pot

Next I placed what Styrofoam I had in the bottom

and started adding all the faux flowers inserting them into the Styrofoam

Sticking the taller ones in the center 

and shorter ones around the sides

I used S hooks to grab the rim, 

then added chain to hang it

Not bad for just using what I had

Didn't spend a penny 

and this will need no watering during our hot Summer!

Eliminator 1 Gallon Multipurpose Pump Sprayer ~ Review

The Eliminator 1 Gallon Multipurpose Pump Sprayer is a great size multipurpose sprayer! Assembly is very easy and quick with the clear instructions. The wand/hose screws into the canister. The pump handle locks into place for easy carrying. Filling the container with your choice of liquid is easy with the no spill funnel top. With a few pumps for pressure, it is ready to go. The 1 gallon size is easily carried even when full. The trigger has a lock for continuous spraying, so your hand needn't be pressing on the sprayer at all times. The nozzle/wand can spray into places that are hard to reach. 

The Eliminator Pump Sprayer has an adjustable nozzle which comes in very handy when area spraying adjustment is needed. The hose is very strong, and all the components are heavy duty. My favorite feature is the pressure release valve. 

Much easier than unscrewing the pump lid to release built up pressure as in models I've had in the past. 

You can find the Eliminator 1 Gallon Multipurpose Pump Sprayer at a garden center or hardware store near you, or online.
