What Do You Think Wednesday - Method Glass & Surface Cleaner


Method Glass & Surface Cleaner with plant based powergreen technology, is a glass cleaner that contains no ammonia or toxic ingredients.  Here is what their website claims:

powergreen™ technology is cutting-edge green chemistry that harnesses the strength of naturally derived, non-toxic ingredients to deliver a mighty cleaning punch. in our glass cleaner, a corn-based solvent eliminates dirt, dust and pesky handprints, so ammonia is but a distant memory.

If you head over to Target Coupons now, they are offering a $1.00 off any Method Cleaning Product.

All In All:  Hands down this is one of the best glass cleaners I have ever used.  It smells like peppermint and leaves a clean, refreshing scent.  There are no streaks and is so good that it looks like there is not even glass on the windows!  Best part is that my throat is not burning as I am spraying it as it does with Windex.  A must buy!

Make It Monday - Halloween Outside Decor

So with Halloween not too far away I have been looking for ideas on decor to make on my own.  I came across this awesome idea on Pinterest.


It comes from the Blog Inspiring Pretty (picture as well) and it says to basically just mold chicken wire into the shape of a dress.  Sounds easy enough....I was even thinking that I would then paint or spray paint the wire with glow in the dark paint so that you are able to see the "ghosts" at night!  Now I am on the hunt for chicken wire lol

September Stork Stack Review

Last month was my 1st box from Stork Stack and I have been eagerly waiting for my next one.  If you aren't familiar with Stork Stack, they are a monthly subscription box with full size items for baby & mommy.  It is $28.00 a month and well worth it.  The value of each box is at least $50.00!  Each month is a different theme  and this month's theme is "Lil' Learners".  Here is what was inside:


 - Tickle Time book (value $6.95)
 - Melissa & Doug Caterpillar Grasping Toy (value $7.99)
 - Baberoo Organic Cotton Hip socks (value $18.00)
 - Wee Can Too Edible Art Veggie Crayons (value $11.00)
 - Joe Jacket Boutique Collection (value $10.95)

Total box value = $54.89

All In All:  I am addicted to these boxes!  I get super excited when I receive an email with the tracking info.  Which I have to say that I do subscribe to other monthly baby subscriptions and Stork Stack is the only one that ships UPS and provides tracking information.  They are also the only one that sends out the box around the 1st of the month.  Other services are mid-month.  I love, love this company!  I have not been disappointed by any product in the boxes!  I can't wait to see what next month brings!  I am telling you...this service is definitely worth the money!  You will not be disappointed.  Head over to Stork Stack and subscribe today!
