Bumbleberry Summer Sundae + Cascade Platinum

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

During the warm summer months, not only do we grill often, but I also enjoy making lots of summer desserts. Some of my favorites involve  lots of fruits and ice cream. When I saw Gail Simmons recipe for Bumbleberry Summer Sundae, I knew we had to try it.

Dishes. Dishes. Dishes. Do they ever end? Are they ever all clean? Will I even get over of my obsession with pre-washing all the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher? I find myself spending too much time doing dishes each day. This week I have been using the new Cascade Platinum Pacs in hopes of making dish washing easier.

Tips for Outdoor Cleaning + $50 Home Depot Gift Card & Prize Pack Giveaway

Thank you to Proctor & Gamble for sponsoring today’s outdoor cleaning tips and giveaway. All opinions are my own. 

I spend nearly every day with my kids outdoors in the backyard in the spring and summer. Then every weekend we grill and sometimes have friends or family over for dinner. Since we entertain frequently, our backyard is full of furniture, a fire pit, two grills, and lots of toys for the kids. So for me, that means a lot of things that frequently need cleaning from being outdoors.

The Sunset After the Storm

Last Friday, yet another severe storm ripped through the St. Louis area. When the first wave came through with tornadic conditions and extremely dark skies, we went into the basement for a short period of time. After we came upstairs, this was the view from our back door.
