{Closed} $25 CSN Giveaway

Spring is upon us here where I live in Florida. It's like this almost every year. One minute we are freezing and the next we are in the 80's. This is actually my favorite time of year. The weather is beautiful and I'm starting seeds for my little container garden.

The scorching temperature's haven't hit yet. I can sit out 

side and enjoy watching the birds while I read a book on my back porch and not be gasping for a breath from the humidity and heat while  sweating. to death.

It's also the time of year that the kids can play outside and not be in danger of a heat stroke. It doesn't last long so we have to take advantage of it!

This year we are in the market for a swing set for the grandchildren. I love the wooden swing sets at CSN. They have a huge selection and are offering $200 of with the Take200 promo code. So if your also looking for a swing set check CSN out. I'm sure you'll agree that the swing sets they carry are awesome.

Recycling Tip: Paper Packaging Material

Tweet

By A Thrifty Blogger
author of Times Are Tuff

 

I wanted to share a recycling tip with you all today. You and I probably have a thing or two in common. You probably have one or more small children in your home and you probably receive packages in the mail.

 

You know how almost all packages come with paper packaging material these days instead of Styrofoam peanuts. The paper varies in thickness some is very thick and some is very thin almost like news paper. Well no matter the thickness all of the paper is recyclable. in many ways. One of the ways I recycle this packaging material is to use it to cover my table when I am working on craft projects. It protects my table surface from spilled paint and glue.

 

The second way I recycle this lovely paper is that I cut it down into pieces and let my grand daughters color and draw on it. They love to draw and scribble on the big pieces of paper.

[CLOSED} Brilliant Screen Cleaning Wipe Review and Giveaway

When the opportunity came to me to review Brilliant Screen Cleaning Wipes I jumped on it. A few months back I reviewed their eye glass cleaner and I was amazed at how well it cleaned our eye glass lenses. I wasn't disappointed with this product either.

Product Description 

Brilliant screen cleaning wipes with SR-8 provides gentle, superior  cleaning to any electronic screen and removes dust, dirt, finger prints and makeup while imparting an invisible, durable barrier that protects screens 50x more form scratching. Helps protect against re-soiling to keep your screen brilliantly clean!

As soon as I had the product in my hands the first thing I did was clean my computer monitor. It did a great job of removing the  sticky little finger prints my granddaughter loves to leave on my screen.

The Brilliant Screen Cleaning Wipe passed my first test with flying colors. Now I wanted to see how this screen cleaner  would do with my daughters Nook. We love the Nook Color but one of the things I noticed right from the first day that we used it was that the screen seems to really pick up smudges. 

Obviously any touch screen is going to get smudge marks with normal use but the Nook really seems to attract and hold the oils from our finger tips. 


I opened up one of the individually packaged wipes and wiped the Nook screen. It took a little elbow grease but the screen hadn't been cleaned since we bought it at Christmas time the month before. 


These screen cleaning wipes also add a layer of 50X Scratch resistance. So it is important to let the screen air dry before you touch it. It may look like the screen is smeared but once it dries it dries smudge free and clear.


I am very happy with this product! I've used it on my cell phone also with the same happy results.
