Kids Stain Report- Fall Edition (from Grass to Grease) + review of all oxi!


With more than HALF of laundry loads being heavily/moderately soiled, parents need the right tools to make all of the new back-to-school clothes last throughout the year. With moms/dads doing an average 6.8 loads per week (up to 312 each year), getting stains out can also add up.

From grass to grease stains, as the leader in stain removal, all laundry detergent commissioned the all® Kids Stain Report. 

all® Kids Stain Report:
  • Grass is #1 toughest and most challenging stain for mom.
  • Other top and toughest stains include: ketchup, mud, spaghetti sauce, and blood.
  • Food is heavily dominant amongst all types of stains with spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, tomato sauce and ketchup as the worst offenders.
  • Ink/craft stains (paint, marker, glue) are some of the toughest stains out there and nearly 40% of moms/dads say they have had to deal with them at least once a week.
all® tackles your toughest kid stains. In fact, it gets out the number one top kids stain – grass – better
than the leading value detergent. A lot better. all® features in-wash pre-treaters, plus active stainlifters™ and fresh, clean scents.

all® mighty pacs oxi delivers  the best clean amongst other  pacs – and at 17 cents a load,  all® mighty pacs cost a lot less  than the leading brand.

I have two kids in sports, so I see my number of stains.  Just look at my little guy above.  Covered in mud from a game of soccer.  When you have a kid in sports, weather is unpredictable.  One day it will be raining and muddy or the next sunny.  My washer gets its workout between grass and mud stains.


I have been using all for a long time, but this was my first time with all plus oxi.  It has been a life saver.   I am no longer scrubbing clothes like I used to, no more pre-treating, etc.  It is amazing!  I love the stainlifters, they are saving my time and my sanity. 

So if you are tired of fighting stains, then look to all with oxi!

Make Your Home an Autumnal Oasis with Air Wick’s New National Park Collection for Fall

Just in time for fall, Air Wick has continued their partnership with the National Parks Foundation for their second fall National Park Collection. With five scents inspired by our National Parks, this collection includes three scents that were chosen and voted on by consumers as their favorite National Park Scent through Air Wick’s Facebook contest last fall—Great Smoky Mountains, Shenendoah and Acadia. This collection will also include two brand new scents inspired by the essences of Isle Royale and Cuyahoga Valley.  

Consumers can fall even more in love with the National Park Collection of fall scents with Air Wick’s NEW Wax Melts. These scent-filled squares melt in the warmer of your choice to slowly diffuse scent through your home in a pool of your favorite National Park inspired fragrance.

I was recently sent some of the new National Park Collection Wax Melts in Acadia and Shenandoah! The National Park Collection Wax Melts contain essential oils and are available in these fragrances:

Isle Royale  - Experience nature's beauty at Isle Royale through rich fall tones of sugar maple and the creamy yet sweet notes of hazelnut with just the right amount of crisp!

Shenandoah - The aroma of the ripening apple harvest combines with cedarwood and cinnamon spice to inspire rich memories of the fall in Shenandoah National Park.

 Acadia - Sweet vanilla and pumpkins brings the magnificence of Acadia National Park to life with its rich blend of sandalwood vanilla and creamy pumpkin!

I am a fan of all things fall! From the cool temps, to crunching of leaves underfoot, to the tastes and scents of fall!  I honestly look forward to fall, then I know I will be able to get my hands on pumpkin and apple scented items!  I am a huge fan of Air Wick products, so I was excited to learn they were offering melts this year! 

These little melts pack a lot of scent, don't let their size foul you!  Just break off your rectangle and place in the warmer and wait.  Within minutes your house will be filled with the scents of fall.   I am still melting the initial wax melt after two weeks, it is still full of pumpkin goodness!  I have the Shenandoah scent in my kitchen as well!

Melts are super easy to switch out too if you get tired of the same scent.  After you let the melt cool and harden, I found it is best to place the melt burner tray in the freezer.  A couple minutes later remove the burner tray from your freezer and the melt will slide right out!   Then if  you are like me and frugal, just place that scent in a baggie to use another time.

Air Wick’s National Park Collection of fragrances for fall are available as scented-oil refills, freshmatic spray refills and NEW wax melts at retailers nationwide for $3.00-$4.99.

McDonald's is offering up #FreeCoffee during breakfast hours until 09/29!

From Sept. 16 through 29, guests can get a free small McCafĂ© coffee during breakfast hours at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the country.  This is the perfect opportunity for coffee lovers to enjoy a freshly brewed, rich and smooth tasting McCafĂ© coffee.

McDonald's prides itself on it's coffee.  To them it is all about making the best cup of coffee!  Did you know that they brew their coffee fresh all day long.  They do not pre-load the pots with water and coffee either, they wait till it is needed.  Since coffee is 98-99% water, they make sure they use water with the highest quality.  They actually use a reverse osmosis procedure to remove impurities and contaminates from the water!  You are getting the freshest cup of coffee when you order!

McDonald's coffee is 100% Arabia coffee!  It takes one tree to make one pound of a coffee a year! McDonald's has the harvesting of their beans down to a science!  Pulping machines separate the seeds from the the skin, but nothing is wasted!  The fruit and skin are composted and reused for fertilizer for the coffee trees!

McDonald's USA and their independent owner/operators are giving back to local coffee communities by investing in a technical assistance program to help farmers in the Central America produce more sustainably!

Come On In, If You Dare - #HalloWeekends Is Now Open! #Ohio #BloggingatCP @CedarPoint


Cedar Point's annual festival of fright, HalloWeekends, driven by SafeAuto, is going on  every Friday night, Saturday & Sunday through November 1. Enjoy the NEW Hexed haunted house, an expanded Howl-O-Palooza family fun area, a new parade route, haunted houses, outdoor fright zones and more! Plus, experience the new "Midnight Syndicate LIVE - Legacy of Shadows" in the Good Time Theatre. Or be mesmerized by the aerial stunts of the popular "Skeleton Crew" in Celebration Plaza!

It's not all about scares at HalloWeekends! Even the littlest of ones can still have fun and ride rides until the park closes! My son loved that before we left, he was able to hop on some kiddy rides and ride them alone, there was not many people in that section of the park!    From a parade of monstrous proportions to all-new activities at our expanded Howl-O-Palooza, there's a TON of fall family fun at Cedar Point!

 From shows and performances to special areas and attractions just for them, kids will find both tricks and treats during HalloWeekends. New this year will be an expanded Howl-O-Palooza kids’ area, now located along the Wicked Twister Midway and in the Planet Spooky and Kiddy Kingdom children’s areas. Howl-O-Palooza will feature cornstalk and hay bale mazes, pedal tractors, trick-or-treat stations and much more!

Make sure to take time to watch the Monster Midway Invasion Celebration! It is a fun parade of friendly monsters, spooky-fun floats and not-so-scary surprises! We were treated to a band, tiny dancers, flag twirlers, monsters and more!  Or course Snoopy had to make an appearance too!


Spooky Shenanigans - A Halloween Hullabaloo.  This is a fun, family-oriented musical revue of all your ghoul-time favorites.  The kids loved this, the really loved when Frankie was able to talk!  Just check out the video above!
Well if you are ready to get your fright on, you will not be disappointed!  This year they offer a ton of horrifying mazes and haunted houses! All haunted houses open Fridays at 8 p.m, Saturdays at 6 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
Hexed Witches of all shapes, sizes and types are ready to greet you in the new HEXED haunted house! Head back to high school with Zombie High School, watch out in the haunted halls and creepy classrooms, you will never know where a zombie is hiding. We all did G.A. Boeckling's Eerie Estate as a family!   The line was quiet long, we waited for a little over an hour, but it was the first haunted house as a family.  My daughter led the group as she is fearless, my son on the other hand was hidden under my arm through the entire journey.   This stately limestone mansion harbors deep, dark secrets, guarded by ancient inhabitants seeking revenge and looking for more permanent residents!

Camp Snoopy turns into CarnEVIL late at night.  The kids loved this area, I totally thought they would be freaked out by the clowns.  I was fine until a clown came out with a chainsaw, then I was running out of the area. There are crazy clowns and lurking sideshow freaks waiting to share their special brand of entertainment with you.
Make sure to walk  the midway, you will never know what  creepy characters you will encounter!  Another must before you leave is a visit to the troll.  If he is asleep, stay around...he will wake up soon and you won't want to miss it! Just check out our time with him:


Make sure you hit the coasters and other rides that are open too!   We noticed the rides at the front of the park which were further away from the HalloWeekends attractions had little to no wait!  A couple trips on Mantis (had to before it went away) and  GateKeeper was the way to end the night. 

On Friday nights, all haunted attractions are open. However, only select rides are in operation. Rides open on Friday nights include:
  • Blue Streak
