I have a new Purex with Oxi laundry detergent giveaway! Purex Insiders sent me a bottle of Purex with Oxi to try and review. Purex with Oxi has more stain-fighting power than regular Purex, so the first thing I did was try it out on my cloth diapers. Sure enough, they came out clean and stain-free. Next I did a load of regular clothes laundry. This load included some greasy rags my husband used to wash the car, and I was pleased at how well Purex with Oxi cleaned them. Purex with Oxi can also be used as a pre-treater to treat stains before you wash them.
Purex sent me three coupons for a FREE bottle of the new Purex with Oxi Detergent to give away.
Here's the scoop:

I recently started a regular after-school nannying job for a family from church. It's awesome because I can have Mac with me and he plays and naps well at their house. The extra income is going to be a huge blessing especially as we come into the holidays!
As a start-up bonus, David let me have some of the money to get some new things for myself. Since becoming a mom I'm finding that my clothes just don't fit me like they used to and my winter wardrobe looked pretty dismal. I haven't used all the money yet, but I did get myself some nice tops at Goodwill and then splurged on some Columbus-Day-Sale riding boots at Kohls. Once I bought what I wanted, I went through my old clothes to take them to Goodwill. I had several too-small sweaters in there and immediately started thinking about how I could re-use them since I was going to get rid of them anyway.
I have only just begun my projects, but here's what I've done so far. First, I'm going to cover some of our yucky throw pillows with soft sweater fabric like this one:
I'm reusing the sweater arms to make leggings to wear with my new boots. I also took a pair of flare jeans I had and trimmed the legs to make them skinny jeans to wear with the boots.
Here's my second sweater/pillow/leggings project I'll be making: Yes, it's a Gap sweater (the gray one was H&M) but I was going to get rid of them anyway! I don't have room in my house for clothes that don't fit!
I've also started crocheting my second Munchkin hat for Mac. This year I wanted to do one with red and white stripes to look more Christmasy (and kind of elvish) but so far it's looking kind of Cat in the Hat so I don't know what I'm going to do. Here's a pic of the little Supermodel himself. Teaching him to drink with a straw was one of the best parenting successes I've had yet so he doesn't have to try to tilt a bottle up at the correct angle. He still needs to be monitored since he loves to pull the straws out and squirt juice everywhere. I need to get him some of the little juice box holders so squirting isn't an issue.

There is a $3/1 Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter coupon on Coupons.com right now. These are on sale this week at Walgreens for $3.36 which would make them just 36 cents... but I purchased two and a $1 catalina printed out, making them a moneymaker! I'm not sure if the catalina would print if you just purchase one or not.
I used two computers, printed 4 coupons, and bought them two at a time in two transactions. Usually at Walgreens you can't use one catalina that you got from one item to buy another of the same item and get another catalina so I wouldn't risk it. They just had two scents at my Walgreens - cotton and pineapple.
Yesterday I used the $5/1 Glade oil diffuser coupon at Walmart to get the oil diffusers free. They only had the pineapple scent left which is why my house now smells like pineapple. It was kind of a let down after seeing that Glade has released its new fall scents - Blackberry Cobbler and Maple Pumpkin. Fall scents are about 89% of what I love about fall. I think pumpkin accounts for the other 11%. Also the cashier at Walmart pronounced "Glade" as "glah-DAY." I don't know if she was just being funny or if she really thought it was pronounced like that. But who wouldn't be familiar with the word "glade"?
Oh one last thing - if you have a Swagbucks account, don't forget to print your coupons from their site so you also get your 10 swagbucks per coupon :)

This morning my little guy made my morning so happy and wonderful.
When I woke up, I could hear that he was awake over the video monitor. He was singing! He was happily lying in his crib talking to himself and singing in high musical tones. I suppose all my singing and playing music for him is catching on!
I got him up and fed him in my bed. I've been sick all week and just haven't been able to get much rest - even when I have the time, my body just won't nap. After I fed him, I put him in his jumparoo and then instead of taking a shower (like I usually would then), I actually went back to bed. I figured I could get another 20 minutes of rest. After awhile, I woke up and checked the clock - it was over an hour later, and Mac was still playing happily in his jumparoo. He hadn't cried at all. In fact, I think he had fallen asleep and then woken back up and kept playing without fussing or being unhappy about it. I even took a shower before going in to get him. He never did fuss and stayed happy all morning.
Little Mac, thanks so much for letting Mom get the extra rest! I needed it so much and love you bunches :)
