My family is germy. And I, I am a germaphobe. Not such a good match. Our solution is hand sanitizer. So I was excited to try a new hand sanitizer that is said to last for up to 6 hours. Regular hand sanitizers only last for the first couple of minutes after you apply them. Outlast works just like all other hand sanitizers. It goes on wet, dries quickly with a strong scent. However, the difference is big – it LASTS 6 hours! Unfortunately for me, I can’t mentally adjust to that concept so I tend to reapply or wash my hands long before 6 hours is up. But, as a mom, it is nice to feel like your kids are protected at least a little bit when you send them out the door or when you are visiting a place that is particularly gross. I would gladly choose Outlast over any other hand sanitizer if given a choice. Outlast is now available in select Albertson’s stores in Texas and Louisiana. You can get your free sample here.

** UPDATE: If you haven't been able to find the blinkies, you can still get in on this deal using this $3/1 printable. Thanks, MyDFWMommy.** Check your Tom Thumb (Randall’s) – I found the Quantumatic Finish Dishwashing System on sale for $4.99. There were blinkies in front of the shelf for $3/1, so the final price ends up being $1.99. I was excited because I have been wanting to try this out. You only have to switch it out every 12 washes.

Just a reminder to load the new Cellfire coupons on your store cards. I almost always have at least one coupon that comes off of something I purchase even if I’m not buying it because of that. They seem to have certain coupons available almost always – Yoplait, Pillsbury, etc. Cellfire It can’t hurt and it’s an easy way to use coupons without having to cut and carry them with you.

Last week Groupon had a deal good for Soap.com . I used it to buy 2 XL bottles of Pine-sol (I kind of have a thing for Pine-sol) and a 4 month supply of Bounce dryer bars. I was impressed with the ease of ordering and the cost of the items. For example, I normally purchase the 28 oz. bottle of Pine-sol for around $2. There are rarely coupons or sales that will make it less than that. Soap.com had the 100 oz. bottles of Pine-sol for $7.39. Considering they deliver it right to your door – and orders over $25 have FREE shipping – that’s really a good deal.

I’ve shared Lifesong with you before . They are all about helping families adopt as well as providing the best care they can to orphans around the world. Right now, Lifesong is inviting their faithful readers and supporters to step up and help in a time of need for Lifesong Liberia . Liberia is located on the west coast of Africa, between Cote d’Ivorie and Sierra Leone. After 14 years of civil war, the country’s infrastructure was destroyed. A peace agreement was signed in 2003, though significant issues still remain. Currently, there is an unemployment rate of 80%.   Lifesong has partnered with The Master’s Home of Champions orphanage and is providing a loving and safe home to many destitute and abandoned children, some of whom are deaf. Bishop Emmanuel Jones and his wife, Ramona, are passionate about rescuing and caring for such children. They seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and are focused on the goal of raising up champions for the good of Liberia and glory of God.

Does that title make you laugh like it does me? Those are all names of Boon brand products that I have tried out in the last few weeks. One of them the “Flow” I won in a giveaway and the other two I was provided to review. First of all I have to say that I love the innovative ideas over at Boon. They have great products that just aren’t your typical children’s items. I wish I had access to them when my first child was born.   Fluid is Boon's sippy cup. With a unique shape, it is perfect for the little one who is brand new to holding a cup. I can’t wait for Weston to start using it.   The Squirt is a baby spoon that holds the food in the handle. You just squeeze and the spoon tip is refilled. The idea behind this is good, but it hasn’t been super helpful for us yet. Since Weston just started solids, he doesn’t wolf down the food yet. The stopper from the food to the spoon tip doesn’t ever completely seal so more food than I want ends up on the spoon. Then when I go
