    all® mighty pacsTM {Review and Giveaway}

    Laundry Laundry Laundry.
     
    It’s the real Never Ending Story.
     
    However, thanks to all® mighty pacsTM, laundry has become quicker and less messy in this home!  Wait, messy? yes, messy. Don’t you hate trying to measure out your laundry detergent and getting a sticky mess all over you, the bottle, the machine and the floor? Some people are lucky and have a sink in their laundry room (not so lucky if your laundry room shares the kitchen…but I digress…).
    Doing laundry can be messy. The new all® mighty pacsTM have cut out the mess, and virtually shave off some time from doing laundry.
     
    Just grab one of the premeasured dissolvable pacs and toss into your machine. They are safe for all machines, including HE. No more measuring or mess!
     
    In our last house, I had these awesome detergent drips down the front of my machine, and a sticky puddle on the floor. When we moved into our new home, laundry became even more difficult. The machines are in the kitchen, under the cupboards, so I can’t even open the washer all the way. Plus the kitchen is carpeted. So there I am trying to measure out my detergent, not spill any on the carpet, and hold the washer lid open. Then I took the time after every load to wash out the measuring cup so it wouldn’t leave sticky all over the top of the washer…which has doubled as extra counter space.  There were days I wanted to throw the machines out, or take a sledge to the cupboard.
    Obviously those two solutions would not have been very…..mature. 
     
    When I got the all® mighty pacsTM from MyBlogSpark I was so thrilled to try them out! First because I love All detergent. I’ve been using them for quite some time as an inexpensive alternate to my other favorite detergent that is more pricey.  Second all® fits in our tight budget and they have a Free and Clear line for people like me and my kids with very sensitive skin.

    Now just to add to my praise of the all® mighty pacsTM, let me show you just how good a job these do!  Our new home was quite dirty when we moved in. Walls hadn’t been washed in years, and half the house was just closed off. We live near a coal mine, so it’s not just dust, but dusty coal coating the walls and floors. My kids got dirty fast! and not just once, but everyday until I could get things completely cleaned up. I’m still in the process of that.
    At the end of the day, this is what the kids pants looked like.
    Now that’s what I’m talking about!
    I really love the ease of using all® mighty pacsTM. It has made me a little more sane as I continue with the Never Ending Laundry Story.
     
    Enough of my praise, on to the fun stuff!

    Our new Home

    I’m back! I hope I didn’t lose too many of you in this week of absence. I tried to have enough guest posts to keep you all entertained, and hanging around.  What I wasn’t expecting was for our internet to take so long to get set up. We’ve moved a lot in our married life, and we’ve never had such troubles.  I’ll talk more about that later though. For now I just want to share a picture or two of our new home with you.

    Cute home huh?  I actually really love it. The problem we are having is that it hasn’t been taken care of very well. So for now we’re renting. We’re actually heading out tonight to check out some more homes around town.
