		<description>&lt;p style="text-align: left;" align="center"&gt;I love one-pot meals. They are so easy to make and even easier to clean. I also love to save money when I cook. The thing I find difficult is digging up great-tasting chicken recipes my family will love. I mean, I always have tons of boneless, skinless chicken breast on hand, but the same old recipes get boring and bland after a while. Thankfully, I discovered Pinterest and my family is eating better than ever! Here are five great, affordable, recipes I’ve tried and love:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;" align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chicken-roll-ups.png"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5445" title="chicken roll ups" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chicken-roll-ups.png" alt="" width="414" height="396" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jennasjourneyblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/chicken-roll-ups.html"&gt;Chicken Roll Ups&lt;/a&gt; – This is a super easy and tasty and even portable meal idea! Everyone loves crescent rolls and this recipe is so easy to personalize it is not even funny. I added finely chopped and cooked veggies to mine, plus some garlic and onion because my family LOVES that. I had to double the recipe just to feed four, so if you’ve got big eaters like I do, that might be a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/taco-bake.png"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5446" title="taco bake" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/taco-bake.png" alt="" width="266" height="256" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://twomaidsamilking.blogspot.com/2011/04/hunk-of-meat-monday-taco-bake.html"&gt;Taco Bake&lt;/a&gt; – I substituted chicken for the hamburger in the recipe, and it came out great! Just boil the chicken and then shred it before adding the rest of the ingredients. The nacho cheese Doritos on top make for a nice crunch, and the crust of crescent rolls make this ultra-yummy. A fun Mexican themed meal that kids will love!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5443" title="cheesy chicken and wild rice" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cheesy-chicken-and-wild-rice.png" alt="" width="414" height="397" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://picky-palate.com/2010/09/13/cheesy-chicken-and-wild-rice-casserole/"&gt;Cheesy Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole&lt;/a&gt;–This yummy and healthy meal is filled with something I adore. Wild rice! The mix of regular white rice and wild keeps this affordable, and still just as tasty. The veggies will make you happy while the cheese sauce has the kids lapping it up. Really good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cheesy-chicken-enchiladas.png"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5444" title="cheesy chicken enchiladas" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cheesy-chicken-enchiladas.png" alt="" width="251" height="246" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com/2010/05/cream-cheese-greatness.html"&gt;To Die For Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas&lt;/a&gt;–Back to the Mexican theme, these great tasting and easy enchiladas were mild enough for the whole family to enjoy. Just be careful of what ‘level’ sauce you buy. I added a few finely chopped veggies to mine to make this an easy one-dish meal. And it doesn’t get any cheaper than beans and rice, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chinese-cabbage-salad.png"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5447" title="chinese cabbage salad" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/chinese-cabbage-salad.png" alt="" width="314" height="306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2011/08/chinese-cabbage-salad.html"&gt;Chinese Cabbage Salad&lt;/a&gt;–Finally something green, right? Well, this recipe actually doesn’t call for any meat, but I added diced boiled chicken to make this a great one dish meal… at least for those who like salad. My family does, so it works for us. I love the substitutions in this recipe, as I too find it difficult to buy peanut oil. I added the ‘oriental’ flavor packets from the Ramen noodles to the dressing to give it more kick. Ramen and cabbage, what’s cheaper than that, right?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Life can&amp;#8217;t get much better for Sam Lock. Popular, good-looking, and with a future as a professional football player. every guy at Stanton High School wishes he were Sam. That is, until his championship football game, when Sam accidentally links with an ancient source of energy known as the Veil and reveals his potential to become a powerful sorcerer. Sam is whisked off to Atlas Crown, a community of sorcerers who utilize the Veil as a part of everyday life. Once there, he trains beside a mute boy who speaks through music, an eternal sage who&amp;#8217;s the eyes and ears of the Veil, and a beautiful girl who&amp;#8217;s pretty sure Sam&amp;#8217;s an idiot. As it becomes clear Sam&amp;#8217;s meant for power magic-the most feared and misunderstood form of sorcery-people beyond Atlas Crown learn of his dangerous potential. An exiled group of power sorcerers are eager to recruit Sam, believing that he is destined to help them achieve their long-held goal. If they succeed, they could bring about the downfall of not only Atlas Crown. but all humankind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This Book was brilliant, creative, and completely magical. If you want an amazing book to read in 2012, I would suggest you go to the bookstore and pick up a copy of Masters of the Veil.&amp;#8221; ~Julia @Inkbitten&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cfdniqs-JJ4/T7ux4X-L41I/AAAAAAAANSI/DSjJAyYgqh8/s1600/danielc.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cfdniqs-JJ4/T7ux4X-L41I/AAAAAAAANSI/DSjJAyYgqh8/s1600/danielc.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author Daniel A. Cohen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;Daniel A. Cohen was just your average business student. Microeconomics, finance, marketing… you name it, he had to do a PowerPoint presentation on it. One dark and stormy night, he was bitten by the radioactive realization that memorizing business jargon could possibly be the most boring activity known to man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;After gaining eagle-eye vision, abs that could grate cheese, and a talent for imagining things (including his cheese-grating abs), he wrote his first novel and began his epic battle against the formidable business jargon. He continues to fight the good fight by playing saxophone and writing YA fantasy, forever hoping his Veil trilogy will help inspire others to join his cause.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Right now you can buy Masters of the Veil for the Kindle for &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AOPS2O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=malsdea-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B007AOPS2O" target="_blank"&gt;$2.99 on Amazon&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/buying-ge-light-bulbs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5431" title="buying ge light bulbs" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/buying-ge-light-bulbs-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope this picture puts into perspective what you are actually purchasing when you buy energy efficient light bulbs.  I think if brands packaged their light bulbs like this more people would take a second glance at them on the shelves after they balk at the price.  Go ahead&amp;#8230; steal my brilliant idea &lt;a href="http://www.gelighting.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;GE&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;img src='http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-lightning-calculator.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5436" title="ge lighting calculator" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-lightning-calculator.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Michael and I have been loyal to energy efficient light bulbs for years!  You could consider us people who experiment with new technology as soon as it comes out and drops in price.  You might be turned off at the initial investment of light bulbs but it does pay off and you can &lt;a href="http://www.gelighting.com/na/home_lighting/products/pop_lighting_calc.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;check how much you could save by switching&lt;/a&gt;.  You don&amp;#8217;t even have to do it all at once.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Incandescent &amp;lt; CFL &amp;lt; LED&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&amp;#8217;t be a frugal person if I told you that you had to run to the store &lt;em&gt;{right now-this instant-what are you waiting for}&lt;/em&gt; and buy these bulbs.  A frugal person waits and strikes when the coupon and sale stars align.  That is exactly what we did and not once have we paid full price for a light bulb.  We are actually in the process of recycling all of our CFL bulbs for LED bulbs because those are &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;EVEN BETTER!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  You can reference &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/05/17/save-2-on-ge-energy-light-bulbs-13-at-walmart-gelighting/" target="_blank"&gt;this sale that I posted for Walmart last week&lt;/a&gt; and you can also print out this &lt;a href="http://bricks.coupons.com/Bstart.asp?o=101899&amp;amp;c=QR&amp;amp;p=lva4SYW1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;$2 coupon&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5432" title="ge light bulbs save you money" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-light-bulbs-save-you-money-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keeping with my main tip of swapping your bulbs over time I am here to tell you that you should start right now if you are looking to maximize the sale cycles!  By 2014 all light bulbs that don&amp;#8217;t meet the 30% efficiency minimum standard will be phased out.  So in order to not be caught with your pants around your ankles you should get started.  Technology really has come a long way with light bulbs and this legislation is really for the greater good of our pocketbooks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-instant-on-cfl-bulbs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5433" title="ge instant on cfl bulbs" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ge-instant-on-cfl-bulbs-577x1024.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="1024" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Maybe you have already bought some energy efficient light bulbs and went to flip the switch to pee and you realized you were going in a dimly light room?  &lt;em&gt;*Raises Hand*&lt;/em&gt;  I can 100% raise my hand and say that this is the story in my house and I am guessing one of the reasons I am always cleaning the front of the toilet, but I digress.  GE makes &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8216;instant on&amp;#8217;&lt;/em&gt; bulbs so you don&amp;#8217;t have to worry about that anymore.  If the package doesn&amp;#8217;t say instant on then they probably aren&amp;#8217;t the ones you are looking for.  My Walmart didn&amp;#8217;t carry the decorative instant on bulbs so we are still on a hunt for them!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/michael-shopping-for-ge-light-bulbs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5435" title="michael shopping for ge light bulbs" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/michael-shopping-for-ge-light-bulbs-577x1024.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="1024" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Shopping for light bulbs can be pretty overwhelming because there are &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SO MANY CHOICES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;!  Even Michael, who is a light bulb Nazi, &lt;a href="https://plus.google.com/photos/104375434173038942355/albums/5744734534999650305" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;walked up and down the aisle&lt;/a&gt; comparing all of the options and their price.  I would count your bulbs, determine what you need and want before heading to the store to buy.  The best decision that you can struggle with is what to do with the savings!  For our household we put all of our extra money into making our project home more efficient and what we want.  Project by project we are spending money to save money but slow and steady wins the race.  One day we will be able to look at our beautiful house with pride!  Until then&amp;#8230; we look at it and think, &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;One day!&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/michael-likes-ge-light-bulbs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5434" title="michael likes ge light bulbs" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/michael-likes-ge-light-bulbs-1024x577.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="332" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;The love for technology starts early in our house!  Michael got a kick out of light bulbs while we were there.  We were in the light bulb aisle for a very long time so I had to keep him entertained.  Don&amp;#8217;t you dare judge me for taking him out in his pajamas!  It was 8:15 pm when we left to go to the store so just in case he fell asleep on the way home we kept him in his PJs. &lt;img src='http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.mallerysdeals.com/?p=5408</guid>
		<description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s that time of year again. The leaves are bright and green, the smell of fresh cut grass fills the yard; summer has almost arrived. It also means it&amp;#8217;s time that I wage war with my backyard and all of it&amp;#8217;s creatures. Except this year, I&amp;#8217;ll be on top. Forget the pretty little garden gloves to protect my polished little nails, I&amp;#8217;m going in bare hand and bare foot ready to tame the beasts of my, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I repeat MY yard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.  I have my weapons of choice and I&amp;#8217;m going in for all the glory. Come the end of September I hope I&amp;#8217;m not hanging my head in defeat, for the second year in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/DSC04219.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-large wp-image-5409  aligncenter" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/DSC04219-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="331" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Let&amp;#8217;s call this the &amp;#8220;before&amp;#8221; shot&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="mceTemp"&gt;I love to garden! Whether it be flowers, veggies, herbs, and anything else I can find that might make it with my green thumb!  While my flowers (attempt to) make my yard look pretty, my veggie garden isn&amp;#8217;t just there for fresh summer food. I try with all of my might to grow enough veggies in my garden to last the winter, canning and freezing what I pick in hopes to save a buck or two in the process. Yes, it is alot, and I mean ALOT of work but it pays off. With a 7, 2 and 11 month old demanding most of my attention, my garden is also a spot for me to have some Mommy time. Don&amp;#8217;t get me wrong, 90% of the time my kids are right out there with me pushing dirt (the youngest trying to eat it) planting seeds and using their little plastic hoes and shovels to learn not only about how plants grow, but also how to grow a sustainable garden so years from now when I&amp;#8217;m gone, they will know how to do this themselves and pass the wisdom down to their children. But that 10% of me watering in the morning, or picking weeds as they nap is heaven to me. Just to have the sound of the creek near my house and the birds flying above does something to my soul. The garden helps me find my inner calm within my world full of child chaos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having a garden can be so frustrating! Some years my garden is fantastic, abundant and I can&amp;#8217;t give some of my food away fast enough to keep up with the  non stop production of my plants. Other years, like last year I just want to sit down and have a good cry because it seems nothing is going right. This year is my year though. (I hope)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Soil  What?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have never started a garden in your yard, it is a good idea to take a &lt;a href="http://www.css.msu.edu/SPNL/" target="_blank"&gt;sample of your soil&lt;/a&gt; and have it analyzed. Here in the good ol&amp;#8217; mitten, you can send your soil to Michigan State Universityand they will tell you what you need to do over the next few years to help make your garden top notch. It costs a small fee, but well worth it in my opinion because you could spend double that using garden soils and fertilizers trying to fix your unknown problem all on your own!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Plant Death?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is also important to look at the trees and plants around your garden. Do you &lt;a href="http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/hortcult/fruits/blkwalnt.htm" target="_blank"&gt;see a Walnut Tree&lt;/a&gt;?? Go ahead and forget about buying those nice tomato plants you saw at the green house, that walnut tree will just kill them.  &lt;a href="http://http://guffguelph.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/plants-intolerant-to-juglone.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;Some plants are very sensitive&lt;/a&gt; to Walnut trees and they will not live in soil that is near one. There are many plants though that do&lt;a href="http://http://www.bordines.com/Care_Sheets/PDF/BlackWalnut.pdf" target="_blank"&gt; thrive with these trees around&lt;/a&gt;, so don&amp;#8217;t give up hope! Check with your local green house or where you buy your plants to see if they have up to date lists on intolerant plants. With new types of flowers and plants made each year the list is ever changing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure your garden is in the most sun possible. Check for any animals that can cause your garden harm. For example, my friendly little woodchuck and I have been feuding for years. And they are not easy to get rid of! (I won&amp;#8217;t kill it, I just can&amp;#8217;t) Think about putting a fence up around your garden to help minimize little critters coming to snack on your hard work while you sleep. If you have woodchucks, dig a trench and set your fence down into it to help eliminate them planning  &amp;#8221;operation I want those greens&amp;#8221; and digging their way under your barrier. I was not smart enough to do that last year, a mistake I won&amp;#8217;t make again! I hope my little friend knows I mean business this year, he is going down! There are many other critters than can plague your garden and we will get to those down the road as I begin battle with them in my own garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mid-Marmota_monax.ogg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="size-medium wp-image-5410 aligncenter" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mid-Marmota_monax.ogg-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Many words come to mind when I see this creature…..and woodchuck isn’t one of them!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, think about what you would like to plant. Keep in mind things you need to cook (and sometimes can) with such as herbs. My herbs will be in both pots and my garden this year in hopes I will have better luck when it&amp;#8217;s time to harvest.  Figure planting at least 2 of each item, in case one plant doesn&amp;#8217;t make it. My tentative line up this year consists of&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tomatoes- Cherry, Plum and Big Boys! Can you feel those canker sores coming!!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Green Beans- a must have in my house hold&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Zuchinni- fried or in bread, my garden is never without!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Summer Squash&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Butternut Squash&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Okra&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pie pumpkins &amp;#8211; Forget canned pumpkin pie filling, fresh is where it&amp;#8217;s at!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Broccoli&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melon&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Yellow/ Orange Peppers- Green is great, but my son prefers Yellow andOrange.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Onion&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Basil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Parsley&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Oregano&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Thyme&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rosemary&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am so excited to get to my local green house this week and pick out my yummy plants! The above list is tentative, especially if I find a plant or ten that call out to me once I get to Walker Farms! Typically I also plant corn, but this year I&amp;#8217;m taking a much needed break. My corn just doesn&amp;#8217;t produce well. The stalks are too thin and I tend to get the fungus that can grow on them. Hopefully in a few years when my soil is a bit stronger I can bring corn back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So bust out those overalls and bring on the straw hats! Hell or high water this garden is going to be the best garden I have ever grown! Why? Because I&amp;#8217;m blogging about it silly! And who wants to read a blog about all the ways to fail at a garden? I am sure there will be an epic fail or two like there always is with me, but I am going to try my hardest to show you how it&amp;#8217;s done. In an amateur way of course, let&amp;#8217;s be honest I know; and you soon will too that I am no where near being a pro. (But I am getting there)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Julia has a secret: she killed the guy she loved. It was an accident—sort of.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Julia is a Sary, the soul of a child who died before taking her first breath. Without this &amp;#8216;breath of life&amp;#8217; she and others like her must help those on the verge of suicide. It&amp;#8217;s a job Julia enjoyed, until the accident that claimed her boyfriend’s life—an accident she knows was her fault. If living with the guilt weren&amp;#8217;t enough, she&amp;#8217;s now assigned to help a girl dealing with the loss of her mother, something Julia is not exactly the best role model for. If she can&amp;#8217;t figure out a way to help her, Julia will lose her position in the Sary, something she swore to her boyfriend would never happen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve never been a big fan of talking about myself, but if you really want to know, here are some random tidbits about me:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;#8217;m a California girl. This generally means I talk too fast and use &amp;#8220;like&amp;#8221; a lot.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I have my doctorate in molecular anthropology. Translation: I sequence dead people&amp;#8217;s DNA and spend a whole lot of time in a lab, which I love.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been writing since I was 11 years old. It&amp;#8217;s my hobby, my passion, and I&amp;#8217;m so happy to get to share my work!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My other passion is teaching. There&amp;#8217;s nothing more fun than getting a classroom of college kids fired up about anthropology!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If I could have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because I&amp;#8217;m terrified of heights.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My little boy is growing up, doesn&amp;#8217;t he look so old in this picture with his big boy bedding?!  He is 10 months old right now but if I blink he is going to be a &amp;#8230; TODDLER!  He is a walking champ, trying to crawl up to get into the chairs, eats EVERYTHING and is babbling his brains out where it actually sounds like words.  I pretty much know that he is going to say Da-Da first but I am OK with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Does Bedding Make You Crazy?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Daddy Michael is completely OCD when it comes to bedding.  I am not even joking because he can not sleep if the pillow is flipped upside down or the opening is pointed towards the inside of the bed.  I like to rile him up before bed and flip it all around just to see how insane he is.  You guys are sitting on the other side of the monitor and are thinking that I am exaggerating right now, aren&amp;#8217;t you?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It gets pretty funny, as I sit here laughing to myself, because he will just ask me, &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;What is wrong with you?&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;  Then he will try and sneak attack moving my pillow the &amp;#8216;proper&amp;#8217; way.  I can be a total wench to him because I will wait until he falls asleep, flip around the pillow and in the morning I say, &lt;em&gt;&amp;#8220;Look Babe, you are still alive!&amp;#8221;&lt;/em&gt;  He grumbles and proceeds to think I am absolutely batty.  Really, me the crazy one?  I can sleep with my pillow upside down, inside out and flipped whatever way but you still call me crazy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5427" title="zipit bedding" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zipit-bedding-1024x762.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="439" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is actually a bedding out there made for easy bed making, called &lt;a href="http://www.zipitbedding.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Zipit Bedding&lt;/a&gt;.  It is pretty cool and works in my favor because I apparently am a terrible bed maker.  And Michael says that I am high maintenance?!  There is a zipper on this bedding that connects the comforter and the sheet which is pretty genius if you ask me!  I will be able to say, &amp;#8220;Go zip your bed Michael!&amp;#8221; &lt;img src='http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zipit-bedding-pillow.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5426" title="zipit bedding pillow" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zipit-bedding-pillow-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best idea ever is a pillow case that zips.  I don&amp;#8217;t know about you but I can break a sweat trying to get my pillow into a pillow case and king sized pillows are the worst!  Zipper pillow cases are one of the best inventions ever!  Now if this only came in a king sized set Michael would think that I am the best Wife ever!  If he came home and found the bed made he would think that I did something so terrible that I was trying to make up for.  His eyes might just bleed from the shock and amazement of having a bed made that he didn&amp;#8217;t do himself.  I crack myself up but it is true, I am pretty lazy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bandit-in-the-zipit-bedding.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5424" title="bandit in the zipit bedding" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bandit-in-the-zipit-bedding-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ultimate test wasn&amp;#8217;t if it was baby approved, if it was easy enough that Mrs Lazy would do it or if it was comfortable.  The true test was if it would be cat approved.  Since Bandit has been laying on the bed since I put this on it, I am going to say it is cat approved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I received this product in order to facilitate my review.  All opinions are 100% my own.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/motherly-intercession.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5418" title="motherly intercession" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/motherly-intercession-1024x684.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one really knows what true sacrifice is until you become a Mother.  From the moment you find out that you are pregnant your whole world changes, for the better, and you look at things in a new light.  The same is very true for someone with a mission to become healthier.  I don&amp;#8217;t mean someone who is dieting.  I mean someone who truly wants/needs to live a healthier lifestyle.  Taking part in this month&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href="http://championsforkids.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Champions for Kids&lt;/a&gt; SIMPLE Service Project was a breeze because our household is actively making lifestyle changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jennie-o-turkey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5227" title="jennie-o turkey" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jennie-o-turkey-1024x577.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="332" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In case you missed some of our recent #JennieOCFK changes you should read about our &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/04/27/make-popcorn-healthier-for-you-unjunkyourjunkfood/" target="_blank"&gt;healthier butter popcorn &lt;/a&gt;and our &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/05/06/make-the-switch-from-ice-cream-to-healthy-cream-jennieocfk-cbias/" target="_blank"&gt;strawberry and banana ice cream&lt;/a&gt;.  I have a additional recipe from this past weekend but I haven&amp;#8217;t published it yet.  I used &lt;a href="http://www.jennieo.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;turkey sausage&lt;/a&gt; to make some meatballs and I had to get very creative on the sauce because my girlfriends are on a very specific diet and they can&amp;#8217;t eat much of anything.  Their diet doesn&amp;#8217;t allow for dairy, grains, corn, or added sugars.  They are crazies if you ask me but to each is own!  When I get a presentable picture I will share the secret recipe!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/meatball-ingredients.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5419" title="meatball ingredients" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/meatball-ingredients-1024x777.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="447" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just in case you want a sneak peek at the ingredients I used to make meatballs that weren&amp;#8217;t terrible but still followed their diet, here you go!  Now you have to stay tuned because you are just that intrigued. &lt;img src='http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/portioned-bowls.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5420" title="portioned bowls" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/portioned-bowls-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the ice cream had the biggest impact on our savings because I literally just used some old bananas to make it.  I didn&amp;#8217;t have to leave the house to buy any ingredients when I was wanting some ice cream.  I even used my small portioned sized bowls so I was not eating as much of a good thing.  There is no point in letting things spoil because that wastes money!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jennieo-meat-donation.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5421" title="jennieo meat donation" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jennieo-meat-donation-1024x680.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="391" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you get in the habit of donating you will become addicted to the high you get!  I relate it much to going to the gym, once you start you don&amp;#8217;t want to stop but sometimes starting is hard.  It gives you the same rush of endorphins and I ride it out until the next month rolls around.  The hardest part for me is choosing which organization to work with because there are so many fabulous ones out there!  I couldn&amp;#8217;t imagine skipping a month now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While this is one of my smaller donations I have to remind myself of quality over quantity.  This meat is going to be appreciated so much and it is healthy for them!  My donation consisted of turkey sausage, turkey burgers, ground turkey, turkey franks and that is just the meat portion of my goodies!  Turkey is such a lean meat and Michael can hardly tell the difference, if at all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So many groups in the Flint area really could use the help from donations so I try to stick with the smaller groups who aren&amp;#8217;t advertised as much.  I feel like they are easily overlooked and have missions that will touch your soul.  Here are some tips to find a local charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Find a Charity:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do a Google search and see what pops up.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ask another group that you have worked with if they have any recommendations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check with your friends and family because someone you know donates!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I found &lt;a href="http://www.motherly-intercession.org" target="_blank"&gt;Motherly Intercession&lt;/a&gt; for this month&amp;#8217;s donation through &lt;a href="http://www.weissadvocacycenter.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Weiss Advocacy Center&lt;/a&gt;.  Of course Weiss would have loved for me to come back for a second month but I want to spread the love all throughout Flint!  Think of it like shopping Mom and Pop stores versus big box stores.  Help them help others through growth!  As a collective team we can mobilize our future generations!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You still have time to participate in the &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/Jo8hZ7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Jennie-O SIMPLE Service Project&lt;/a&gt; if you want!  If you are a Tweeter you need to check out &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Champions4kids" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;@Champions4Kids&lt;/a&gt; and if you love Facebook you can &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/ChampionsForKids" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;chat with them there&lt;/a&gt; as well!  If you want to see all of the products that I found from Jennie-O at my Walmart check out my &lt;a href="https://plus.google.com/photos/104375434173038942355/albums/5739225738870927761" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Google+ album&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I am a member of the Collective Bias™ Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for&lt;a href="http://www.collectivebias.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt; Collective Bias&lt;/a&gt;™. #JennieOCFK #CBias #SocialFabric”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-rebate.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5415" title="stp rebate" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-rebate-577x1024.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="1024" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I was shopping at Walmart and found this awesome deal on STP products.  There is a &lt;a href="http://lm.logicalmedia.com/z/29761/CD11047/cid=17333376" target="_blank"&gt;$1 printable coupon&lt;/a&gt; for any STP products  and I found a B1G1 rebate on the bottles when I went to buy them!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebate:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Buy 2 STP Motor Treatments or Fuel Additives and get the second on FREE.  Offer ends 6/30/12. On or before 7/31/12 send this completed form along with the original cash register receipt dated on or before 6/30/12, with STP Fuel Additive or Motor Treatment prices circled, and UPC codes from backs of both purchased STP products.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-gas-treatment.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5414" title="stp gas treatment" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-gas-treatment-1024x577.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="332" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are going to buy 2 gas treatments then you are breaking if you use 2 of the $1 printables! Each treatment is $1.97 and you are getting $1.97 back in a rebate!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-fuel-injector-cleaner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5413" title="stp fuel injector cleaner" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-fuel-injector-cleaner-577x1024.jpg" alt="" width="577" height="1024" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fuel injector cleaners will run you about .45 each after coupons and the rebate but that is still a great deal!  We skipped the gas treatment and went with this and the next product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-fuel-injector-and-carburetor-treatment.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5412" title="stp fuel injector and carburetor treatment" src="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/stp-fuel-injector-and-carburetor-treatment-1024x656.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="377" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fuel injector and carburetor treatment was priced right in the middle making them .12 each!  We love STP products so this is a great deal!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Do you remember by posts about my experience with Shaklee Cinch products?  If not here is my &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/02/16/weight-loss-week-4-with-shaklee-corporation/" target="_blank"&gt;week 4&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/02/08/weight-loss-week-3-with-shaklee-corporation/" target="_blank"&gt;week 3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/02/02/weight-loss-week-2-with-shaklee-corporation/" target="_blank"&gt;week 2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/01/25/weight-loss-week-1-with-shaklee-corporation/" target="_blank"&gt;week 1&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mallerysdeals.com/2012/01/19/my-weight-loss-journey-with-shaklee-corporation/" target="_blank"&gt;where I started&lt;/a&gt; back in January.  I should really do an update on where I am right now but for now, here is a guest giveaway from someone who got to try out Shaklee&amp;#8217;s cleaning products!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter  wp-image-340" title="s1" src="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s1.jpg" alt="" width="413" height="407" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;I was fortunate enough that &lt;a href="http://resully.com/"&gt;Renee&lt;/a&gt;, a mom and an independent distributor for Shaklee, asked me to do a review for Shaklee&amp;#8217;s products. I had heard of Shaklee before, but I knew next to nothing about them. After a very pleasant phone call with Renee, she taught me that Shaklee was the first company out there to offer environmentally friendly products. At the end of the call I could not wait to try out the products she was sending me!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;Renee sent me 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2, a 3 pack of Get Clean Spray Bottles, 9 oz. jar of Scour Off Paste, and 16 oz. of Dish Washing Liquid Concentrate, along with a packet of information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;I want to first share some information on each product with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Basic H2:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Safe: Nontoxic, no toxic fumes, no hazardous chemicals, fragrance free, mild on your hands, pH balanced, and no chlorine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s the household uses for Basic H2: General cleaning, windows, mirrors, glass, pots &amp;amp; pans, floors, dusting, fruits &amp;amp; vegetables, handwashing woolens, nylons and all fine fabric, spot remover, aquariums, removing fish odors, removing boat algae, reducing odors in diaper pails (I use Basic H2 for this the most), wallpaper, frying vats, and many more.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Personal uses include: Hands, Bathing, removing gum from skin, carpet or clothes, painting and dyeing, cleaning shoes, and cleaning eye glasses (another one I use frequently).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can use it for automotive uses, such as washing your car, cleaning the engine (will not affect paint, gaskets or insulating material!), cleaning the battery terminals, and helps get tires off easier when you&amp;#8217;re changing them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There&amp;#8217;s many other miscellaneous uses as well! The list just goes on and on!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Completely safe (non-toxic, hypoallergenic, does not contain chlorine, is mild on your hands, is pH balanced, and has no hazardous chemicals)!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Very powerful (tough on grease, has long-lasting suds, and can use very little and it goes a very long way (one of the best parts).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The second best part is that it is green; has natural ingredients, is biodegradable, has no phosphates or dyes, comes in recyclable packaging and is safe for septic-systems and graywater.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can also use for grout &amp;amp; tile, pans &amp;amp; stained dishes, pots, pans and PYREX, oven cleaner, mineral deposits in toilet bowl, and tough stains in sink.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scour Off&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can use scour off on baked enamel, chrome, ceramic tiles, stainless steel, glass, porcelain, and most hard metal surfaces. (Do not use on gold, brass, copper, sterling silver, corian, or surrel.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are many uses for the kitchen, bathroom, outdoors, and vehicles!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scour off is biodegradable, pH balanced, certified Kosher, and has no toxic fumes, no alkalis, and has a pleasant scent.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I used the Basic H2 on my kitchen stove. Here is a before picture:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-341" title="s2" src="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s2-300x220.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="220" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How gross, right? We had had a party the night before, so that would be why it&amp;#8217;s so nasty. I figured what better time than now to see if Basic H2 actually worked! All you need are one of the spray bottles, the Basic H2 and I used a rag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-342" title="s3" src="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s3-175x300.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You just fill the spray bottle with water, then put a 1/4 teaspoon of Basic H2. Then you just spray and wipe away! I let a couple of the spots soak because it was pretty stuck on, and it wiped away so easily! Here is the after picture:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-343" title="s4" src="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s4-300x192.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="192" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a huge difference! Another great thing about the Basic H2 is that there are absolutely no fumes! I can&amp;#8217;t even begin to tell you how much I &lt;em&gt;hate&lt;/em&gt; cleaning because of the fumes almost all cleaning solutions put off. It&amp;#8217;s so nice not having to deal with it anymore!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, I used the Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-344" title="s5" src="http://optimisticmommy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/s5-184x300.jpg" alt="" width="184" height="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#8217;t take any pictures of the process because, well, who wants to look at dirty dishes? I didn&amp;#8217;t want to subject my readers to that! Haha! But let me tell you &amp;#8211; I will not be using any other dish washing liquid! It got off grease and dried on spots on all the dishes, and I hardly had to use any of it! I swear, you can barely tell I used any of the stuff! This bottle will last me a long time!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Scour Off I used on the rims of our tires. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of the before and after because our camera started acting up, but they have never been so clean! It was so easy to use, and although there is a slight scent to the paste, it was actually a pleasant one!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for reading my review on Shaklee products! I can&amp;#8217;t wait to try some more of Shaklee&amp;#8217;s wonderful products!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to Renee, I&amp;#8217;m able to offer my readers a giveaway! I&amp;#8217;m giving away a free membership to Shaklee, a bottle of Basic H2 and 3 spray bottles.&lt;br /&gt;
