Day 6 of USA in a day

Disclosure: this is a non sponsored, non compensated post. It is not a review either.

Day #6

Intro: I am on a hunt for things in my home that are made in the USA.
Each day I will try to post an item or two from my house.
Why? To support companies that are in my country.
Take a second and look at the product or item you are using and see where it is made.


This week I have been hanging paper shamrocks on our windows in celebration of Saint Patrick's Day. Although the paper shamrocks are not made in USA, (I'll have to research for a company) the tape, however is made in USA. 

Each floor of our house has a Scotch tape dispenser in a desk or drawer that I use weekly. I know, how much tape can we use? It's not one of those things I think about!  Anyway, one year my mom gave my sister and I a Scotch tape dispenser like one would keep on their desk. I found it so handy I bought one for the kids and the kitchen.

I wonder if 3M gives tours?

We have a wrapping counter in the basement and at Christmas time if two people are wrapping gifts we don't have to share the tape since I have a couple dispensers on the counter. It makes the wrapping task a bit faster.

I buy one brand of tape, no exceptions. Scotch brand tape made by Minnesota, Mining and Manufacturing company. The company is better known as 3M. I have an old tin of my grandmother's that housed tape and a newer commemorative tin that I keep a spare roll of tape inside.



What is your favorite brand of tape, and where is it made?

Giveaway of New Soft Scrub® 4-in-1 Toliet Cleaner to three lucky winners.

  Let's talk about cleaning toilets. Hmm, I'd rather not talk about that, or clean them. However, I don't want dirty toilets in our house, so I have to clean all three of them. I'd clean four or five because I really would like two downstairs bathrooms in my next house. We have one powder room on the first floor and two full baths upstairs.I'd like three full baths upstairs. Why in the world would I want to clean all that? Who knows, but having a product that can help out cleaning the three we currently have in my house is greatly appreciated. Soft Scrub ®  is honestly amazing me with their new and improved products.

So, how's the dinner time prep going? The kids are back in school, and  then after school is sports, band practice. Do you have the taxi light on top your car on? Sound familiar? I can relate. Those nights of soccer practice and games kept us moving. I am the late afternoon here on the East Coast, and glad to have my dinner thoughts together. How did I do it? The ultimate way, with new Ultimate Hamburger Helper from Betty Crocker ®, that's how. I whipped up, I'm calling it that, because it was easy to prepare and cook.
