Spring Cleaning with Ora – The Paper Towel Revolution

categories: Reviews

With the spring cleaning season here we are all looking for a fresh start.

New things to try and do. New products that can help make life better and easier.

One of the hot new products for 2018 are the new Ora Kitchen Towels.

Being a busy parent, any way we can find to simplify life and make clean ups easier I am ALL for it! I feel like most days I am cleaning up one mess after another. The coolest new product I have found in household products is the Ora Household Towel. The cone, stack-style towels are easy to use, super absorbent and very versatile.

” The round household towel is here! Easy one hand grab – no tearing, no unravelling, no wastage. Twice the number of sheets than on a conventional kitchen roll. Clever, economical and too good-looking to hide under the sink. ” – Ora

These stacked style towels make for easy access – giving you the ability to remove the towel with one hand. This is a top feature for me. I often need a paper towel when I am busy and have a mess going on – by being able to use only one hand to remove the towel I can move and work faster than before. My kids love using them for treats and snacks, I love that they are not created another disk for me to clean! They can stay in the cone shape, making them perfect for holding snacks like Goldfish, greasy chips, hot sausages and really any other dry or greasy foods you would put in a bowl. It’s even useful if you find yourself having a little spill on your office furniture you got from somewhere like office monster so your office is tidy for you to work in (be it your company’s office or your home office, they are great for either office).

When it comes to your office furniture though, it’s important to make sure that you look after it and get it cleaned regularly. You need your work environment to be clean otherwise you won’t be productive. If the company you work for currently don’t have a cleaning company then you could suggest that they try someone like GCC FM (GCC FM are an office cleaning company in sheffield), to help keep your office spotless.

A tidy desk means a tidy mind, so you won’t be distracted and can get on with your work. Obviously though, the cleaners won’t be in your office all the time so it’s a good idea to have these Ora paper towels on hand, so that if anything is spilled, then you can easily clean it up yourself. It doesn’t make sense for you to just leave your mess all on the floor anyway. You wouldn’t do that at home, so why would you leave a mess in your office?

It does make it easier having a cleaning company at your office though, you won’t have to worry about deep cleaning the carpet, or making sure that your sofas are looking nice. They’ll also be able to bring in special products that can help clean even the dirtiest of places. For some reason, cleaners have a load of tricks up their sleeves, so if your office doesn’t have a cleaning company, then make sure you mention it to your boss about how much more helpful it can be to have one.

A good friend of mine works in an office in New York, and since hiring office cleaning services in NYC, she told me that she has noticed a big difference where the productivity of her team is concerned. Clutter, mess, and dirt can all be incredibly distracting, so it is important to stay on top of keeping everything clean, especially in a busy office space.

There’s only so much that an Ora paper towel can clean up. However, everyone should be cleaning up after themselves anyway. Be it at home or in the office. However, there’s something nice knowing that a cleaning company has been to clean your office and there isn’t a speck of dirt anywhere. It certainly helps you concentrate as you’re sat at your desk. You could also consider getting a cleaning company to help tidy your home if you think that that would benefit you as a person as well. After all, we forget that keeping your home tidy isn’t the easiest task, and we forget the small and hard to get places. If we don’t keep our houses clean, we can sometimes end up with a pest infestation, which is never something you want to deal with. The only solution to this is calling pest treatment wisconsin, as tackling this yourself isn’t easy!

Each Ora comes with 100 towels, giving you much more than an average roll of paper towels contains. Plus, it’s simple and beautiful design make it much more attractive than that old fashion paper towel roll sitting next to your microwave. With the circle shape, which is what the cone opens up into, makes it perfect for warming things in the microwave! I love how it sits perfectly (because of the natural cone bend in it) on top of a plate or bowl. I no longer worry about the paper towel falling off my dish while rotating in the microwave. This feature keeps my microwave cleaner and that is itself is a lifesaver.

The round shape and size makes it easy for all hand sizes, small and large, to control easily. I love how my kids and my husband alike have no issues cleaning up spills with the Ora Towels. More so, “each stack has the equivalent number of sheets of two regular paper towel rolls and less packaging. that means fewer trucks are needed to deliver Ora – so that’s less pollution and congestion for all of us..” – Ora’s Website.

Ora is available through Amazon!

  • Sticky fingered kids
  • Oil changes
  • Office desk coffee spills
  • Greasy splashed while cooking
  • Muddy gardening messes
  • Car pool lane spills in the car
  • Wet pet paws
  • Setting cookies on while dusting with sugar

Our Top Pick for a Kindergarten Aged Car Seat

categories: Reviews

Our kids grew up – and so should their car seats.

Safety is at the top of my priority list when it comes to a car seat for my kids. I really wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to them if we were in a car accident (touch wood it never does happen though). All I want to care about is getting the right car accident lawyers, with the knowledge that everyone is safe and alive at least. Furthermore, taking precautions incase something awful was to happen is equally important. My baby has a good car seat and I know everything about life insurance and long term disability insurance, so that in the event of an accident, I know what my first move should be. It’s important to protect everyone in the car and insurance is the best way to protect myself as a parent. What’s more – a good car insurance policy will also cover your child’s car seat. If you were to be in an accident, your insurance company will pay to replace the damaged car seat.

Now that my 5 year old is getting taller, starting to weigh more and has stronger bones…we know that she is still a small child in the big picture of things. After my best friend bought an isofix car seat, I’ve been on the hunt for a car seat too.

I fully believe in staying in a 5 point harness as long as possible. It is safer, hands down. I’d hate for anything bad to happen. I know car accidents do happen, that’s why it’s so easy to get yourself a lawyer who specializes in law (for example, you could use someone like Batta Fulkerson). However, I would much prefer to not have a car accident (and I’m assume everyone else is thinking the same).

After looking around I saw that it was an option for her to move to a booster based on her weight (45 lbs) but I know in my heart of hearts it is not the time for her to move to a booster and seat belt only restraint. I know she wants to feel like a big kid, look like she is in a booster, but I want her strapped in safely. This is where is Diono rXT all-in-one convertible car seat steps into our lives.

The sleek and more vertical design of this seat makes it perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten aged children.

The sleek design also can fit 3 of these seat in the same row, for families with multiple children

Extended rear-facing

The radian® rXT keeps children comfortably rear-facing from 5-45 pounds for the safest possible position. Premium, plush head and body support cushions are included for newborns and infants.

Room to grow

Accommodates forward-facing children up to 65 pounds in a 5-point harness and converts to booster mode for kids 50-120 pounds. The aluminum reinforced, adjustable head support and sidewalls provide additional side impact protection.

I love how this seat will change into a booster when my daughter gains more weight and needs to go into a true booster style seat. I am thinking this will happen by fall 2018…but who knows with the rate kids grow – it seems so random at times doesn’t it?

As soon as my 5 year old saw this seat she said “Woah! A car seat for big kids!”

MamatheFox’s Favorite Aspects of the Diono rXT

  • Safety First! The manual comes with tons of great information, helping you set up the car seat the way you should based on your child’s size
  • Learned new information – To learn how car seats keep your child safe check out Parenting Pod. Because my daughter is under 50 but over 40 lbs, I no longer use the latch system with this car seat! I did not know this at all – and I am so glad Diono took the time to inform me of the right steps to take when installing my seat based on what is most safe for my child. For her weight I was to use the seat belt and the rear anchor.
  • Easy to buckle in and tighten the straps. One of the main issues parents have with car seats is pulling the straps tight enough. I have struggled, and I mean practically fought with tightening straps properly in other car seats. The Diono rXT has a cool feature that clicks as it tightens. You can feel it click, which makes it much easier to tighten to the correct place on your child’s chest.
  • Cup Holder is Removable. The grossest, most odd things can be found in your kid’s car seat cup holder. Having it be removable for deep cleaning is such a perfect and parent loving design.
  • Wider hip room for bigger children. Kids are build differently, just as adults are. This seat has a fun feature that allows your children to grow with their seat. The hip area can snap to a lower, wider setting, allowing your child to truly grow with their seat.

Click Your Bricks with a Brick Loot Subscription Box

categories: Reviews

Click Click!

 

That is the sound every day at the Fox house. We LOVE building with bricks. Lego, Duplo, any brand you can think of – we love them all.

 

My husband is the brickman. He loves playing with bricks with the kids and has really helped them develop a creative side that I never knew how to engage.

My son, age 4, loves to play with things that allow him to create his own, one-of-a-kind toy. The easiest way for him to do this type of play is with bricks, which is also why they are so popular in this house.

 

By engaging our kids in STEM activities, we help them unlock new ideas & learn to use their minds in creative and healthy ways.

 

Thankfully, Parker, creator of Brick Loot, also has a deep love for LEGO’s!  As a boy who collected massive amounts of bricks, he quickly saw something missing in the marketplace, a subscription box for people who love LEGO’s and bricks!  He took this as a hint and decided to act on this issue, by creating his own company! Parker, now age 13, with the help of his awesome parents, has launched this highly successful subscription box. As time goes on, and as Parker has grown, he keeps taking on more and more of the responsibility of running and managing the business.

 

Let’s help support child entrepreneurs by gifting someone you know a subscription to Brick Loot

 

 

 

But we all know that bricks aren’t just for kids!

 

 

 

With Brick Loot you can get new, exciting Lego’s and other compatible Bricks, along with other exciting items shipped to your home each month!

 

AWESOME ITEMS INCLUDED IN EACH BOX

Custom Kits with LEGO Bricks

Kits by famous LEGO Designers

Brick Loot Exclusives

LEGO Accessories

Custom LEGO Minifigures

LEGO Compatible Products

 

 

We received the March 2018 Brick Loot Box

 

The March 2018 Brick Loot Box had the following items:

  • Motorcycle Madness  (Exclusive 100% LEGO Build Designed Set)
  • Speedway Racer Arcade – with an LED Light Kit!
  • Pinky’s Arcade Hat
  • Arcade Mystery LEGO Minifigure

This months theme was Game On II – giving you several exciting arcade themes products.

 

We really liked the LED light that was included, which made the arcade game way more exciting and was extremely interesting for our 4 year old son.

 

What was kinda tricky were the directions – they were not like a typical LEGO instruction set.  They showed several steps per step, making it sorta confusion for an adult, so it would probably be a tad tricky for a kid. This may have been a unique circumstance for only that one set/box. Just a heads up.

New Parents: Treat Yourselves with These Easy Options

categories: Reviews

Finding time for yourself when you’re a new parent can seem impossible. This new bundle of joy requires all of your attention, so there doesn’t appear to be a lot left to give yourself. Even new parents can find ways to treat themselves, though, whether it’s in big or small ways. Some changes that you make can improve your lives for the better for the next few months or years, while others can give you small moments of pleasure in between the daily drudgery. If you feel like you need a treat to cheer yourself up or so you can get a break, try one of these ideas.

Make Your Bed More Comfortable

Sleep is so important when you’re a new parent, but it’s being a parent that can stop you from getting enough. It can take a long time for your baby to sleep through the night, and even then, it’s early mornings for the next few years, at least. You can’t do much your baby’s sleeping habits, apart from establishing a routine as soon as possible, but you can do some things to make your sleep better. Some people are put off buying a new mattress because they’re worried about the disposal of the old one. Luckily, junk removal companies can provide a solution by taking all of your unwanted junk (such as a mattress or yard waste), and dispose of it. One thing to try is getting a new mattress. Take a look at Mattress-Guides for more info on how a new mattress could help. When you are able to get some shut-eye, you can be sure that you’ll get better quality sleep. If you want to learn more about natural mattresses, you may find that you want to get a new mattress for yourself.

Eat a Decent Meal

When you’re short on time, eating well isn’t always a priority. When you first have a baby, some friends and family members are nice enough to drop off meals. But as that comes to a stop, you might resort to eating quick and easy meals. They might be healthy enough, but you’re mostly focusing on nutrition and not pleasure. One way to treat yourself is to have a meal that you eat for the joy of it, and not just to make sure you’re eating enough. You don’t have to leave the house or even cook anything. Get something delivered and enjoy not even having to wash the dishes.

Do Nothing

While sometimes it’s difficult not to just collapse on the sofa at the end of the day, there’s always a voice nagging that you have things to do. But sometimes you just need to ignore it and do absolutely nothing for a while. Even if it’s just for an hour or two, watching TV or closing your eyes for a bit is much better than doing another load of laundry. You could find that you are more likely to be productive if you sit back and relax for a couple of hours. Seeing as you could be part of the 120.6 million households who have TV, (check out more cable tv statistics for 2020 here), then it would be a shame to see this appliance get wasted. It is there to be watched after all. Don’t worry, all of your chores will still be there in an hour. If you don’t have a TV, it might be worthwhile thinking about getting one as it is a perfect pass time if you just need to chill out. Why not also consider getting something like these corner TV units if you are running out of space in your living room. This might be the perfect way for you to relax after a long day.

Have Some Time Off

It can be difficult to let someone else look after your child for the first time. However, sometimes it gets more difficult the longer you leave it. Find someone you trust to look after your baby, even if it’s just for half an hour. Taking some time off, when you can go and get a coffee, go shopping or just take a walk, gives you a well deserved break. And it starts getting both you and your child used to being apart.

New parents deserve to treat themselves sometimes. It’s important to look after yourself so that you can be a better parent.

Luxury French Skincare for Everyday Ladies – Votre Vu

categories: Reviews

When it comes to your skin you should care, and care deeply.

It was not until I hit my 30’s that I started to use facial skin care products and that was a huge mistake. I’d had a few cosmetic procedures to help get rid of some aspects of my skin that I absolutely hated, and that had a transformative effect on my confidence, but I was completely unaware that establishing a great daily skincare routine could also work wonders. This revelation came about when my friend and I were discussing a website she came across which talked about creating your own cbd skincare brand. While it wasn’t something I was really interested in at the time, it did open my eyes to using skincare products and that I should have started years ago. But it is NOT too late! If you are concerned about a lack of naturality then you may want to look at some natural looking foundations too. You may find the Thin Lizzy Concealer blends well and doesn’t look cakey. It’s ranked the best acne concealer on quite a few comparisons as well.

Using a day cream, washing your face and applying serums and eye creams not only makes you feel better at the time, but it helps preserve your skin for the future. Use these good cosmetics and then with the thx silk pillowcase effect will be better

We get one face – so let’s face it – and take care of it

Votre Vu is a French skincare line that is what your everyday lady is looking for.

We ladies need skincare products that work, but one’s that also smell good. But more importantly, ones’s that aren’t filled with weird or scary ingredients.

Votre Vu’s products are inspired by the French. The bountiful and bio-diverse regions of France gave them the inspiration to create products with extracts that are native to France – but more importantly products that are healthy, bio-powered and deliver beautiful results for our skin.

Some of the top sellers from the Votre Vu line are their Best Regards products. I tried out their Best Regards Hydrating Caviar Sérum and the Best Regards Restorative Day Creme.

Best Regards Restorative Day Creme

If you are looking for a product that is for normal to dry skin then this is going to be your new go-to day cream.

It softens, smooths and helps protect normal-to-dry skin from premature aging. Thie concentrated French creme is handcrafted with caviar, select essential oils, plant extracts and botanical elements.

Some of my favorite ingredients are

Caviar Extract

Loaded with vitamins, micro-elements, amino acids and proteins, this nourishing caviar extract speeds up the natural production of collagen, and helps keep skin firm by providing an extremely high level of hydration.

Grape (Vitis Vinifera) Seed Oil

This light, quick-absorbing, soothing oil is rich in essential fatty acids and linoleic acid content, which helps to increase skin’s elasticity.

Wild Yam (Dioscorea Villosa) Root Extract

The powers of wild yam have long been heralded by traditional cultures for its ability to treat symptoms of irritability and stress. When used in skin care, this extract has been shown to help maintain moisture balance and stimulate cellular metabolism.

Best Regards Crème does not contain any toxins, parabens, artificial colors, GMOs, triclosan, talc, gluten, sulfates or phthalates. Votre Vu does not test any products on animals.

The Best Regards Day Creme is perfect for general moisturizing needs. It smell is light and comforting. It doesn’t leave a heavy odor behind, but smells appealing at the same time. As a woman in my 30’s I am always trying to keep my skin as youthful as possible and trying to prevent early signs of aging and wrinkles. By using a potent day creme I am able to keep my skin fresh and healthy – which are some key factors to maintaining a youthful look.

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, women are asking for beauty products that can be used by an average women. You will not go wring with a gift from Votre Vu

Best Regards Hydrating Caviar Sérum

For women who are looking for that special extra product, look no further. The Best Regards Hydrating Caviar Sérum from Votre Vu is a silky anti-aging formula infused with caviar extract, drenches skin in proteins, essential fatty acids and minerals. Designed to help reduce fine lines while enhancing elasticity, this superbly hydrating treatment generously filled with phyto-essential extracts works to deliver visibly firmer, resilient and radiant skin.

Some of my favorite ingredients are

Cogongrass (Imperata Cylindrica) Root Extract

Known for its healing and antibacterial properties, cogongrass root extract is an excellent skin conditioner.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl) Acetate

A form of Vitamin E, Tocopheryl Acetate is a powerful antioxidant which protects the skin against stress. In a skin care regimen, this power ingredient conditions and moisturizes as it protects.

Ylang Ylang (Cananga Odorata) Oil

Powerful for mind, body and spirit, this calming floral extract has excellent anti-aging benefits, including the ability to help soften skin and promote firmness – my friends highly recommend ylang ylang oil.

Best Regards Sérum does not contain any toxins, parabens, artificial colors, GMOs, triclosan, talc, gluten, sulfates or phthalates. Votre Vu does not test any products on animals.

MamatheFox is in love with this amazing product. I have been using it daily and feel like I can tell a difference in my skin in only a weeks time. I would lean towards the “dry” skin side, but this can be due to the harsh winters in Ohio. The bitter cold can cause our skin to pull and feel more dry than it actually is.

Having been using the Votre Vu line, my skin is not hurting in the mornings like it did previously. I truly think this is due to these 2 products. While yes, sometimes I feel dry at times, it has decreased significantly. I use the Hydrating Caviar Serum in the mornings. After it sets in for a couple minutes I then apply the Day Creme over it. I apply it with my fingertips in a very soft circular motion – always being aware of my eyes and never pulling on the skin around them. Try applying in upward strokes as to not help gravity pull your skin down. This is a wonderful trick I found out and honestly think it’s very true.

Could A Move Be What Your Family Needs?

categories: Reviews

It’s sometimes hard to know what is best for your family, especially as children start getting older. With age comes rebellion, and with rebellion comes stress. But that isn’t all you have to worry about. There’s literally everything under the sun to think about. Their education, their future, their finances, your own finances. One big list full of stress could be created if we carry on. But to spare you, we’re going to focus on the positives that a home move could actually bring. Despite the initial stress, it could be the best thing you’ve ever done. So could a move be what your family needs? Decide for yourself after reading the following information!

Better Education & Job Prospects

Education is one of the most important things to your children. Well, it might not be to your children, they might find it the most boring time of their lives. But to their future, it is highly important. So, making sure they’re in one of the best schools possible is only going to improve their future prospects. It’s so easy to find out what schools rank where by doing a quick Google search. Some schools have big ties to well established colleges and universities that could set them up for a nice future. Job prospects are also really important. If you move somewhere that is a bit out of the way, the job prospects shrink. If you moved to the hustle and bustle of a city, or at least just outside of it, their job prospects will grow and grow.

Better Local Amenities & Activities

The more things there are to do, the more fun your family is going to have. This is why cities are great, but we understand the hustle and bustle of one also isnt the best way to go. So, live somewhere that is within a short driving distance things such as a cinema, bowling, shopping, water parks etc. This isn’t just to make your children’s time that little bit more exciting, it’s to try and keep you happy as well! You could also make sure there’s plenty in the way of sporting activities to make sure your children live an active lifestyle.

Tackling A Move

Tackling a move can often put people off actually deciding to move in the first place. One of the best thing you can do is contact services like Sunrise Moving to ensure that your moving is easy. So, if you want to do it quickly and smoothly, youre going to need a good group of people on your hands. To move all of your goods, you should check out someone like the Alpharetta residential movers. As long as you’ve got someone reliable like this on your side, you should never have any troubles.
