Old Fridge, New Fridge

Talking appliances today and I don't know how alike we are to other households but we are glad to have the things that we do have and if something works fine, serves its purpose, doesn't break then we keep it around for good use.  Ive had a tiny lil fridge for a few years now got it for free when I first got engaged to my husband and it works great so Ive never thought another thing of it...other than its so small. Now I'm a coupon clipper, sale looking, clearance rack scaling type of lady and I am much more cost aware than my husband and was open mouthed at the prices of the Refrigerators! I of course have never really even been fridge shopping before so what I expected to be a regular price for what we were looking for was really the price of the fridges that were small and plain like the one we have but that's not what we are shopping for this time. Ive got a hungry man and 2 boys to feed needing some real freezer and fridge space!  I will also say my hubby was like a kid in a candy store it was like "ooh imma get a huge new shiny toy" lol he kept taking me here and there to look at them,Well today  after a couple of weeks of comparing there was a red, white, blue sale going on and we made the decision and went from

Tadaa! the first took up barely 2 tiles and this one is over 3 tiles wide! yeah I added like a foot of food space! So yay for finally branching out forking over the money and getting a good appliance. I will say it better last me 10 years for sure! and when my 8 year old saw it he says "oh yeah mom you better keep this one I want it in my house when I get older!" ha ha i died laughing that that's what he thought when he saw it. but its Maytag should prove long lasting, so hey maybe he will get it someday...gives me enough reason to have him clean it from time to time right? He will just be maintaining his future first fridge lol!
Now that I see this typed out I realize I want 10 years out of it and that's exactly how long he has till hes 18! Well see! :)

Breakfast after 11 hours of walking

Do you Relay? I'm talking Relay for Life today! Well I do and am glad to say we had our local relay yesterday and I did finish up 4.5 miles this year which is 2x my amount from last year my plan is to double my amount each year and so far so good but that does mean I'm looking at at least 9 miles for next year...uh its ok Ive got a whole year to go still :) Our team this year grew so much it was great and even though I may believe our committee dropped the ball in some places it was great weather and lots of fun.  My oldest son ran over 8 miles himself hes a runner and is determined to be a famous runner someday which is fine with me Its at least a healthy goal which I'm all for! My youngest got to enjoy his laps in the luxury of his comfy stroller ah that's the life right? I cant wait till next year Ive got plans for several different ways to help out and am hoping its at a different field but we will see. I can always join another Relay anywhere around where I live maybe Il do more than one Relay next year!
Note to for future relays...after 11 hours of walking we were announced that they would be serving donuts and juice for breakfast! ugh everyone on my team near gagged and said no thank you so we packed up and called it a day lol Is it just me or is it just wrong after a full night of walking and supporting the last thing we wanted was sugared up absolutely no nutritional value donuts! Gross I already plan on serving my shakes at the next relay and am now thinking of doing other relays just so that I can offer them a Visalus Vi-Shape shake during the night and wee hours we can pump out frozen coffee shakes, during the heat we could do Pina Colada shakes, and in the morning we can do Chocolate Banana, Very Berry, shoot we can have a whole assortment and enjoy the packed nutrients, great taste, and energy boost! I love being a Visalus Distributor and know that I don't have to take part in the bad food choices but make my own and share my time with other friends who are also healthy minded.  So spread the word Relay committee members Donuts are a no go at 4 a.m. when you've been pushing your body through the night next time go for some nutrition!

Oh how I love the smell of dying fleas

Oh yes so our cats usually get some fleas around spring/summertime we give them a bath, flea collar, and the little flea drip thing on the back of the neck and end of the problem right? Well not the case this year and I'm stressing out cause they are really getting on my nerves and Ive got a coupon for some natural raid for fleas that is buy one get one free Ive been looking but haven't found the stuff yet so finally the third or fourth store I find a bottle of not the one I'm looking for but a natural can of spray that is safe for animals and kids this is what Ive been waiting for because all the other stuff is way too dangerous for me to be putting up in my home I get this can of Hot Shot Natural ant and roach killer now we don't have ants or roaches but I read the back and it will work for the pesky fleas too so I'm like cool! and its SAFE for use around children and pets yay!

 The morning I got back after spraying the house I see my neighbor out on his lawn sprinkling something so I ask hey do you have ants this summer? and he says no its the dang fleas! so now I don't feel so bad its not just us theres obviously a pesky flea thing going on right now and they've got two dogs so I feel sorry for the dogs we don't even have anymore animals anymore so maybe with both of us spraying and defending our homes on the same day they will go far far away!

And wow I must say I'm like ohh that's good! not for sure how effective it is against the fleas but I guess it is getting better what I have to review on it is the smell! it says its made of lemongrass oil and yum! It smell like lemon grass, citrus, citronella, minty goodness and if I could get that scent in a Scentsy bar I would get two and enjoy it all summerlong! So if youve got fleas or ants or roaches by the way grab you a can and enjoy them dying away :)

So I guess this is my first product review and so sorry I can't figure out how to rotate the picture yet but its a clear pic!
