The ESV Waterproof Bible Review

Disclosure:

 

I recently received the ESV Waterproof Bible to review. I didn't have a "adult" bible, but I had a Teen Study Bible. I'm almost 30 years old and I have been wanting a new Bible for some time. When the idea of a Waterproof Bible was introduced, I was so excited to sign up and review one. I love how small it is and its easy to carry in a diaper bag or purse. The font is small, but I don't have any problems reading from it. I think this bible would make a great gift.

The Waterproof Bible is completely waterproof and durable, dries quickly, is much stronger than paper, and adapts well to all extremes or reading environments. It is waterproof on the inside and out.  Its the most durable bible on earth. It includes the New Testament, plus Psalms and Proverbs in the English Standard Version (ESV).

In my opinion, a Bible is something very special and the idea of one getting ruined, is very bothersome. I was very skeptical about putting the ESV Waterproof Bible in any water or having anything "spill" on it. I first "spilled" some Coke on the Waterproof Bible and let is sit a few minutes before wiping it off. The page was not sticky at all and I used a baby wipe to wipe of the page and it  looked and felt just like new.





I also test the Waterproof Bible in a sink full of water. It was completely covered and soaked in water. I took the Bible out of the water and dried it off with a kitchen towel and it dried quickly, no pages were torn, and It didn't even look like it had been wet.

I received the Wahl Hot/Cold Therapy Massaging Gel Pack this week to review. I stand on my feet for 8 hours at work and I don't have very good shoes, so when I get off work, my legs are killing me.

I find it to be very relaxing and a stress reliever. The Wahl Hot/Cold Therapy Massaging Gel Pack would make a great gift for any mom this Mother's Day.

Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips Review and Giveaway #Sponsored

Disclosure: "Combat brand provded me with a sample of Combat Killing Bait Strips in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own." #Sponsored

 

Attack the source and prevent pests from returning with NEW Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips.

 

The same killing power found in Combat Gels is now available in a new discreet design. These thin bait strips have an adhesive backing that makes it easy to hide out of sight and reach of children and pets.

 

Combat Killing Bait Strips are easy to apply and leave no mess. The unique gel bait formula contains food and water that ants seek, combined with Fipronil, a fast acting insecticide that begins killing within hours once the insect has come into contact with the bait.

 

How Combat Strips Work:

Ants find the bait strips and eat the bait.

Insects carry the bait back to the nest or colony

Other insects in the nest or colony are exposed to the insecticide and the entire nest is destroyed

 

 

 

Review:

Ants..pest..insects..I don't like them, AT ALL! The only problem we have ever had with ants, has always been in our kitchen, the place where you prepare and eat food, so how disgusting is that?!

 We also have a indoor dog, and a young child, and I have worried about both getting ahold of the Combat products, we do keep them out of reach and sight, but you never know. I really like how discreet the new strips are though. With warm weather approaching, I have seen only red "piss" ants in the window in the kitchen. I placed a strip there and the ants are slowly decreasing. I have always been pleased with Combat products and we really like the new Combat Ant Killing Bait Strips. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a solution to a ant problem in their home.

 

Combat $1,000 Sweepstakes:

All thoughts and opinions are my own." #Sponsored

 

New Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts:

The Smallest Way to Attack the Biggest Laundry Soil Issue

 

Gross Alert! Did you know that there are 250,000 sweat glands in your feet? Or, that the average person can produce 1-3 gallons of sweat each week? Can you imagine what that means for family's clothes? Wisk, the detergent known for fighting tough stains, has added Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts to its Deep Clean family. PowerBlasts attack hidden body oils and sweat, in a convenient single dose form. Drop one in, blast sweat out!

 

Review:

 I love to use products that make doing laundry easy, period. While I have a full load already, with a special needs child, working part-time, and maintaining a home, who has time for laundry? I love the simple one dose pac that works just as good as powders, but saves time.

 

For this review, I completely forgot to take before and after pictures. I however, did use the Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts on my jeans that had grass stains from mowing. I don't own many pair of jeans, and I was scared the stains would not come out, but the grass stains DID come out! I could not even tell where the stains had been.

 

I think this product worked great and I would recommend the Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts to my family and friends.

 

 

Facts about Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts:

 

Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts clean beyond visible stains, attacking trapped body oils and sweat, contains the right amount of super-concentrated detergent with Micro-Cleaners, come in a convenient, easy-to-use pac and simplify the laundry experience, and dissolve completely, even in cold water, and are safe for both standard and HE machines.

 

Wisk Deep Clean PowerBlasts are easy to use:

 

• Add one PowerBlasts directly to the drum and then add laundry on top.
• Regular loads = 1 PowerBlasts
• Large or heavily soiled loads = 2 PowerBlasts
• Keep container sealed between uses
• Dry hands before handling

The StrongMoms® Empower Campaign

 

 

Thanks for joining me in the StrongMoms Empower Campaign. I never knew just what it ment to be a "Strong Mom" until I had my son, Tristan. Tristan was born at 28 weeks, that's 12 weeks too soon. He weighed 1lb and 5.8 oz, Tristan spent the first 5 months of his life in the NICU, Fighting everyday for a chance at life. That's when I became a strong mom. Today, Tristan is almost 6 years old, he will celebrate his birthday on April 20th. Tristan has special needs, and has severe developmental delay, focal seizures, Autism, non-verbal, and a G-tube for feedings. I have been judged many times, being out in a public setting, Tristan would be having a melt down, crying and screaming, and other parents would be looking, and whispering, and saying stuff like "Why don't you control your kid?" I have been that mom that has been judged, because I have stopped accommodating others, and my son and our family have just as much right to be out in public, as anyone else. I have been judged because Tristan is almost 6 years old and isn't even 30lbs yet! Often people ask "Why is he so skinny?" Its like I have to explain," He doesn't eat solids, he is G-tube fed." "Do you understand what that means?" I'm not a bad parent, I can't control that my son has Oral Aversion and is considered Failure To Thrive. So yes, I have been judged, its a horrible feeling. I don't judge others, I don't know there story, and they don't know mine.

 

Recently there was a article online, "Dear Mom on the iPhone" that had alot of moms talking. I would not be at the park judging this lady, this mom, because she was on her iPhone. First off, I think that taking her kids to the park was a great idea, she didn't even have to do that, because I know whats its like to not be able to do those things. Secondly, maybe she was on a very important phone call that couldn't wait, and her children were having a good time anyways, I highly doubt it was because she wasn't interested in what they were doing, and Third, maybe she just needed a "Mommy Break". Another example of not knowing her story, so why judge?

 

I encourage you to go to strongmomsempower.com and take the pledge.

In Preparation for April 4, 2014 Film Release

 

Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios’ release, “Marvel’s The Avengers,” production on the highly anticipated release, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” has commenced in Los Angeles, Calif., with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C. Directing the film is the team of Anthony and Joe Russo (“Welcome to Collinwood”) from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus (“Captain America: The First Avenger”) & Stephen McFeely (“Captain America: The First Avenger”). Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” returns Chris Evans (“Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Marvel’s The Avengers”) as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” “Iron Man 2”) as Black Widow and Samuel L.
