Anything to make housework easier is a plus in my book.  Mopping the floors has come a long way from the dirty water bucket and wringing out a mop.  We have a few rooms with hardwood  flooring that I only dry mop, until today. I used Bona's mop designed hardwood floors. It was a snap to put together- really a few snaps and you are ready to mop. The kit includes: Bona® Hardwood Floor Cleaner Bona® Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Washable Microfiber Cleaning Pad The Solution cleans without a dulling residue.The solution is pH balanced, non-toxic and biodegradable. I did not notice any perfumey smell or heavy chemical smell. It really did not have a fragrance that I noticed. Which is good for the family's health. You can mop away with the kids right near by. The mop is not heavy or hard to manage while mopping. It has a nice wide spray path and reusable, washable mop to cover a big area all at once. The mop does not use batteries either! Just pull up on the...

We have a cat. Well, I should say it's the kids cat. Most of the time they do take care of him. This is our second cat. We said goodbye to an ill cat a few years ago. During her more youthful - well years, she fancied using our basement rug as her litter box. No one seemed to smell that horrible cat urine smell but me. Perhaps she was scared or did not like the smell of the basement? She was free to roam the house but we kept her litter box in the basement. Now our second cat doesn't seem to have this problem, but every time I put a new throw rug down, he has to mark it with his bodily waste. I know it is awful. I have thrown out those rugs, and stopped trying to win!  Along came Comfort Zone ®   with Feliway ®. Our new carpet! Glad  Comfort Zone diffuser is there  to calm him! We had new carpet put in our family room and new couches too, all I could think about was the cat marking it. We waited until the kids were older to replace the family room...

The Odd Life of Timothy Green is out today!  I saw a screening for the movie on Monday. The theater was full of course, there were movie goers there that had won tickets from a radio show, and there were press/bloggers there to watch and write their reviews. The film is set in a lovely old town, it's Fall, it's just charming.  It's about family, friends, community, and the hope of who you can become. The audience had plenty of popcorn and sodas to keep them quiet, but I think the film was so captivating that it was quiet during the film. It's just that good. You want the film to keep rolling to find out what is going to happen with Timothy Green. Will he live with the Green's forever, will he grow up,will he have a brother or a sister, and what about the girl-friend? I very much recommend you see this film with your family, of course a date night is perfect too. Go see it soon! Here is a clip from the film from another post and more information here on this post.
