The Crazy House!

Well, much to my dismay (only because of the garden situation mind you...) Fall is coming!  We've gotten a decent amount of green beans at least and the pool garden is doing really well now!  We even had our first tomatoes turn colors :).  Even if this year's garden was slightly disastrous, we learned a few new tricks (like the pool garden idea)!

So, what's the excuse this time for not posting?  I've just been amazingly busy!  I've been up to everything from making a throw sized quilt, to baking, to knitting (and working on making a lovely pattern for you guys), to just being a wife, a friend, and a mom to my furry children.  Oh, did I mention that in this process I also have misplaced my little camera (the one I use for quick blog pictures?).  The good news about this is that the pictures I put up for a while will be a higher quality.  The bad news is that there will be less of them since it's not a point and shoot.  (Let me clear this up.  It's not that I don't enjoy taking pictures, because obviously I adore it!  It's just that sometimes I don't want to risk Sophie (my dslr) and she does take a little more time to get set up.)

There are more fun things to come soon here :).  I'm going to have a few more product testings to share (I'm really excited!) and a few recipes/patterns for craft goods.  The biggest news however is....*drum roll* we're going to have our own domain name!  The name has already been purchased and the site is in the works!  Right now, M's work is crazy busy so once he calms down there he plans on starting to design the page for us.  Our initial plans include different sections, one of which will be a store where we can sell some of our made goods!

That is all for this post folks!  Soon I'll try and have something abit more meaty (and with pictures) for you to dig your teeth into!

Bic Soleil Savvy

I am a member of this awesome site called BzzAgent.  As a BzzAgent, I get to test products (for free or at a discounted rate) and then am encouraged to share my feelings and rate the product.  The most recent product I've gotten to try has been the Soleil Savvy razor system from Bic.  I like to try and be creative in my reviews.  It's fun for me and fun for those I'm reviewing to!  I kept racking my brain for the best way to cover a razor review and I finally got my genius idea!  I would do a video of the product in use!

Now, with this are some disclosures.  When I say I got the tub dirty with my feet, it's true.  One of the perks of being a housewife is I rarely have to wear shoes!  (Yes, I'm one of those weird people).  Also, this is not a pretty skinny girl in a bikini in a tub shaving perfect legs video.  I'm in shorts, in a chair over the side of the tub and you really only see my lower legs.  This is also the first time I've video taped myself for anything knowing that later I would be sharing it.  I'm really camera shy, so please ignore my rambling and the occasional slips.  For any information I missed or you may be curious after, you can see Bic's Facebook page for the product here.  I almost didn't make this video on several occasions, but I really am behind this product and I think it's probably the best razor I have used.  All warnings in consideration, here is the video!  (Sorry for the low quality, I filmed this with my phone!)
