Trying Out MIRACLE‐GRO® EXPAND ‘N GRO

I am so excited for this spring time because I will be able to have my own flower and vegetable garden. Having our own place made this possible for me. We moved here in our house late summer of last year and I haven't had the chance to plant yet. But this time, I will surely have my own garden. I have been visiting home stores around our area and looking at the garden section. There are so many things that I love for the garden, and one thing I need to learn is what type of planting mix I need to get so I can have plants. Then I heard about Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™.

Upon reading the many good things about Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™, I cannot wait to try it for my future garden. I heard this is a concentrated planting mix that has a lot of benefits to include 3x flowers and vegetables compared to native soil; it can improve the soil for multiple years; a planting mix that will expand when you add water; feed for up to 6 months; and holds 50% more of water because of its natural fibers compared to other potting soil. Even if you only have a little bag of Expand ‘n Gro™ you can have more because it will expand when you add with water. You can still minimize your cost but you will have a great result.

I love the fact that this is very easy to use and even if you plant in-ground or in pots you can have great yields using Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™. I can't wait to start my garden. I am hoping for a nice weather so I can work outside soon. How about you? Have you heard about Miracle-Gro®? Check the video above and see how amazing this planting mix is. I am pretty sure all of the gardeners can now enjoy planting with this planting mix revolution.

Cloth Diaper Diaper Review

One thing I regretted since I have my two girls is not using a cloth diaper from the very start. I contemplated on using it when we first got pregnant, but I was so hesitant due to my schedule. I was working and in school at that time. I thought using a cloth diaper will just make it harder for me to balance my time from always washing and cleaning up. It wasn't just convenient for me at that time. Our second baby was the same. Although I have been staying at home until now but still hesitant of using a cloth diaper. I have a friend at church that uses cloth diapers for all her kids, and she really encouraged me of how money they save for not buying diapers.

Then lately an FB friend introduced Bunnzoo, an online store that sells handmade cloth diapers. I checked it out and I got smitten by the cupcake design cloth diaper. I showed it to our little one and she said she liked it. I ordered one and Michelle of Bunnzoo asked if I would love to do a review. Of course I said yes, and in return she gave me another item to review, the zebra print one.

First I want to say thank you to Bunnzoo for the fast shipping. I received the item within the time frame that they promised. Now my thoughts on the product:

The product, I love and it is very well-made. It is stitched very cleanly and you can tell that it is of good quality and durable. I like the fact that the outside layer is waterproof and the lining is an anti-pill fleece that is easy to care.

For the fitting, this zebra print have front snaps to adjust according to your baby's size. Our little girl is in the medium size so adjusting it is so easy. She is on the skinny side also and once you adjusted the snaps, it will just fit perfectly on her legs. It also comes with 2 liners. You can use one or both if your little one is a heavy wetter. I let our soon-to-be 2-year-old wear it at night time, and uses the 2 liners that comes with it. So far, we did not have any leaks, and our little one is so comfortable using it.

If you are looking for a good quality, made in the US cloth diapers, check out Bunnzoo now. You will not be disappointed. It is affordable, durable, and would surely last for a long time. They have nice prints too for you to choose from. I give this diaper a 4 thumbs up out of 5. I am a happy customer and thinking of getting another one for our baby.

Settlement Payment Options

Do you or anyone you know have some structured settlements or annuity payments to collect? I did not know that you can opt to sell it and just find a great funders or brokers then you will be assured of the money you deserve. I am not sure though how it works, but there are websites where you can get settlements quotes for free.

So if you want to go for this route, check out online for free quote services. I asked my husband how this works and he told me there are people who wanted to get the lump sum of the settlement account instead of getting payments periodically. I think this will work both the recipient to get the money all at once and the funding company to get some percentage off of the money for doing business with them. Hmm...I am thinking, maybe I can use this route if I when the lottery, take the lump sum instead of periodic payments. I wish!

Christmas is Over

Wow, the most awaited time of the year is over and we are only few days before the new year rings in. It is amazing how our family celebration only lasted for a few minutes minutes but it took many hours of preparation. Don't you agree?

This year we really did not cook a lot. I learned from the past that we just wasted food for cooking too much when there are only 5 of us to partake it. I was also able to convince hubby not to over spent this Christmas. He tends to cook up a storm during occasions like this. This time he cooked 2 main dishes, chicken marsala and stuffed cabbage. I did 2 side dishes, rice and roasted mixed veggies. The girls baked the fudge brownie and I baked apple pie for our dessert.

We had a great dinner and celebration, though I still wish we have more families over here to spend time with at this time of the year.
