Here are pictures of David's Korean Kimbap themed birthday cake this year. Kimbap is similar to sushi, so the same idea could be used for a sushi-themed cake.

Purex is back with new products and new promotions! Purex and Clorox have teamed up to create Purex Plus Clorox 2 detergent, a stain fighting detergent that is safe for colors. Purex Plus Clorox 2 provides bright clean, smart value, and is tough on stains. It purportedly works on 100 different kinds of stains.
I got this stain on my white tank while cooking up a tomato based curry with oil in it. I rubbed some Purex Plus Clorox 2 on the stain, let it sit for 5 minutes and then washed as usual in my laundry load with the same detergent in the load. As you can see in the picture below, it worked beautifully. The stain fighters did their job and my tank is back to normal.
For your chance to win one of three coupons for a free bottle of Purex detergent, check out the giveaway below.
I will contact the winners via email after the giveaway is ended and they will have 48 hours to claim their prize or a new winner will be chosen.

Now that I've been married to David for almost six years, I've gotten a bit of a portfolio of amateur birthday cakes that I've made for him, highlighting some of his favorite things.
2011
The Stargate Cake (shown side by side with a picture of the Stargate)
This is David's favorite TV show and my first audacious attempt!
I'd love to try my hand at this one again.
2012
Beatles Cake
I actually introduced David to the Beatles' music and now he's a full blown fan. Other than their music, which I can't put on a cake, what is more iconic than their hair?
2013
R2D2 (Star Wars) Cake
Needs no explanation!
2014
Despicable Me Minion Cake
I fell asleep the first time we watched this movie. The next morning, David told me we had to rewatch it so I could see it before we returned it. And who doesn't love Minions?
2015
Adidas Cake
David has one pair of signature shoes and has for the past 15 some years. He has backups in case something ever happens to them, but so far nothing has, so he continues to wear his same Adidas sandals every time he can get away with it, frigid weather and church are no exceptions.

Do you feel like there is too much guesswork involved in measuring out the correct amount of laundry detergent, especially the super concentrated kinds that use a different amount than other detergents? Purex has introduced a new, no-spill auto-dosing lid that does all the measuring automatically for you. It comes with their super concentrated Purex PowerShot detergent so you can be sure that you're using the right amount. All you do is - Flip. Dose. Done. There is no measuring, no guesswork, and no mess. In the video link below, I show you how the new bottle works. Check it out! It's my first vlog! (yeah, not a fan of videos of myself, but it does it make it easier to show you how to use the new bottle. :) )
Personally, I don't think it is that difficult to measure laundry detergent by myself. Now if my detergent started folding my laundry for me, that I would definitely get behind. But if you like to have one less thing to have to think about, check out this new detergent. And it does have 50% more stain fighting power in each drop, so that alone is worth checking out!
For your chance to win one of three coupons for a free bottle of Purex PowerShot detergent, check out the giveaway below.
I will contact the winners via email after the giveaway is ended and they will have 48 hours to claim their prize or a new winner will be chosen.

I used the English muffin recipe here:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/English-Muffins/Detail.aspx?soid=recs_recipe_seed
I made the following changes: I used coconut oil instead of shortening, as we've been baking with coconut oil more for health reasons. I also used almond milk instead of regular milk. I followed some reviewers' suggestion to bake them at 375 for 7 minutes on each side.
To make the tuna melts, split the English muffins on half and place on the cookie sheet. For the tuna, I mixed 1 can tuna (drained), 1 chopped hard boiled egg, 2 Tbs. mayo, 1 tsp. mustard, 2 tsp. pickle relish, and salt, pepper, garlic powder & dried minced onion to taste. Spoon the tuna mixture onto the English muffin. Top with chopped avocado, sliced tomato and a slice of cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.
