I love the smell of Christmas trees, fresh pine to be exact. I about fell in love when I smelled Method hand wash in Frosted Fir.

Frosted Fir smells so fresh and clean, like freshly cut pine (or fir) trees. This is the perfect scent for holidays!

I usually stock up on the holiday hand washes from Bath and Body Works, but after using this I don’t want those anymore (besides they stopped selling my favorite holiday scent, holly jolly mistletoe).

Method hand wash is non-toxic and triclosan-free. It is currently available at Target and retails for $2.99.

This scent is also available in a candle.

I really try to limit the amount of cakes and cupcakes we bake in our household. The truth is if I bake it, I will eat it and that is not a good thing for my waistline.

Holidays are my weakness though and I gave in to my daughter wanting to bake Halloween Cupcakes.

Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti Cake Mix and Funfetti Frosting totally caught our eyes, who can resist Holiday themed goodies?

We baked the cupcakes together using the box of cake mix and special frosting. The frosting was vanilla flavored, but orange in color which we especially liked. There were also plenty of Halloween shaped sprinkles for the top of our cupcakes.

I don’t know what it was about this particular box of cake mix, but these were the best cupcakes I have ever made from a box. I was so surprised at how moist they were.The bad news is that these cupcakes were so good, we ate them all within 2 days!

We end up getting 16 cupcakes out of the box mix and frosting, I think we made them a little larger than directed.

Halloween Funfetti Cake mix and frosting is available now for Halloween. If you happen to miss out on finding these in time, Pillsbury has a Holiday Cake mix and frosting coming out in time for Christmas.

I have a love hate relationship with cleaning…who doesn’t, right? I hate the actual task of cleaning, but love finding new products that make it easier for me.

I recently got the chance to sample NEW Pledge Multi Suface from BzzAgent.

Pledge Multi Surface combines ALL your household cleaners (glass, wood, metal, granite) and puts them in one bottle or wipe.

This stuff is really fabulous. I cleaned my whole living room and bathroom with the one bottle. I loved going from my glass top coffee table, to our wood entertainment center and then onto the mirrors in the bathroom. It made cleaning a lot less of a hassle.

I tried both the spray bottle and the disposable wipes which I LOVE. I currently use the other brand of wipes and these were much larger and stronger. I even re-used the wipes with the spray bottle when it was dried out.

It really is great to be able to clean the whole house with one product and move on to bigger and better things!
