Air Fryer and Tub O' Towels Giveaway

Air fryers are all the rage these days! Lots of people are using them but many wonder how to clean an air fryer the best way. Today on Thrifty Nifty Mommy, Janessa is sharing tips to help you clean your air fryer quickly and easily.  We've partnered with Thrifty Nifty Mommy for a great giveaway today! One person will win a GoWise Air Fryer plus Tub O' Towels cleaning wipes to make air fryer cleanup a breeze!


 Founded in 1915, Federal Process Corporation began with just one product – Gasoila (pronounced Gas-oil-ah) Hard Set Sealant. In 1994, a product was created for the industrial business to remove sealant, now known as Tub O’ Towels. However, once it was discovered that this strong wipe had thousands of uses outside of the industrial space, it was introduced to the retail market in 2011. Now, seven years later, Tub O’ Towels Heavy Duty Cleaning Wipes is a staple in auto body shops and garages across the US. Tub O’ Towels is not just for greasy outdoor projects (although they are perfect for that too!). Tub O’ Towels is also great for cleaning the daily messes that all of us deal with. These heavy-duty wipes can be used on strollers, car seats, car interiors, carpets, floors, walls, kitchens and so much more! If you'd like to win this fun prize package, just enter using the Giveaway Tools entry form below. The giveaway ends on Friday, March 13th, 2020 at 11:59pm EST. Good luck!

5 Realities of Substance Abuse Recovery

Any individual choosing to put aside their substance abuse and addictions is courageous. They recognize they can't sustain the life they're living, and they know recovery will be good for them. It's hard for anyone who hasn't struggled with substance abuse to understand the magnitude of choosing to enter a recovery program.

Substance abuse recovery is a different experience for everyone, but most people who haven't battled their addictions don't know what to expect. Besides staying with a program for a few weeks or months, it's nerve-wracking not to know what will happen or how it will help. Addicts and their loved ones shouldn't have to feel anxious during a time when they should only focus on the positivity the program will bring to their lives.

Read on to learn five realities of substance abuse recovery so you and your loved ones know what's coming down the road. With the right mental preparation and perspective, everyone can support each other through the recovery process.

1. Take Things Slowly

Many addicts enter recovery programs believing they'll learn the secret to leaving bad habits and behaviors behind. While they'll get the help they need, there's no cure for substance abuse. Instead, they'll learn to take things slowly and focus on one day at a time.

Recovery requires lifestyle, environmental and social changes, so it will take a while to form new routines and get used to a different way of living. 

2. Prepare to Battle the Brain

Some people think that choosing recovery over addiction is a choice, but it's much more than that. Anyone recovering from substance abuse must battle their brain every day to reprogram it. Every time someone gives in to addictions like drug and alcohol abuse, it frays nerves in the brain and rewards the action with dopamine, leading to faster and increased addiction habits. Recovery removes this euphoria and leaves people with withdrawal symptoms and muted dopamine reactions.

3. Avoid Finding Another Addiction

Once addiction leaves an empty hole in the life of someone in substance abuse recovery, they often fill it with another one. They may obsess over fitness routines, throw themselves into school or constantly consume drinks high in caffeine. It's better to learn how to balance healthy interests. Perhaps instead of experimenting with drugs or alcohol in college, students can join a club or activity.

4. Grieve Your Losses

The removal of addiction leaves people feeling like they've lost their old way of life. They leave friends and habits behind for an unknown routine and social group. Anyone in recovery programs should embrace feelings of grief to work through the symptoms in healthy ways. 

5. Find Your Own Way

Recovery looks different for everyone, so no two experiences look identical. As long as the person in recovery keeps gratitude at the center of their life, they can remain focused and encouraged. Thankfulness shows them how they've grown and what they can look forward to, instead of focusing on the lifestyle they've lost.

Create a Support Group

Outside of the people who run a recovery program, former addicts need to create a support group of friends and loved ones. The encouragement and love will help them keep their focus and maintain their recovery in the long term.

Give your kids tubbubble for Valentine's Day

What do you buy your kids for Valentine's day?  Most of us are candy givers.  This year give your kids the gift of fun with tubbubble.


tubbubble is a bath play line made with natural ingredients. This fun bath play line turns every bath into an imaginative and exciting experience for kids. 

The tubbubble® Products include:

• The Bath Volcano - a pyramid-shaped package that when snipped and dipped in water, erupts with foam and crackling sounds while turning the water a light orange color. 
• The Bubble Bath Pouch - a fleece cloth-like pouch that foams and releases bubbles when squeezed and makes the water a light red color while it moisturizes and cleans. 
• The Foaming Bath Pebbles - Comes in a tube-shaped package creating a foam cascade when you dip the open wrapper under water. 
• Crackling Bath Crystals - make fun popping sounds while turning the water a light green color.

 In addition to being fun and safe, tubbubble also offers sensory play and motor development opportunities for children. The Crackling Bath Crystals make interesting soft popping noises. Little fingers can practice rolling the Foaming Bath Pebbles in their hands or in a plastic container in the tub to develop their fine motor skills. Kids enjoy the gentle scent of natural ingredients while their eyes are stimulated by the color changes. “These are all elements that spark children’s curiosity and imagination through different senses while sharing a fun experience with a parent,” tubbubble®creator Raquel notes. “tubbubble® bath time can also be a relaxing time for a parent who needs a little break to sit down next to the tub and read or use the phone while their child plays safely next to her.”

What’s Your Favorite Valentine’s Day Treat?

What’s Your Favorite Valentine’s Day Treat?

It’s hard to imagine Valentine’s Day without chocolate and candy. From heart-shaped boxes of chocolates to little colorful conversation hearts, Valentine’s Day treats are everywhere this time of year – not that there’s anything to complain about.

This year, I’m teaming up with the National Confectioners Association to celebrate this iconic candy moment. The National Confectioners Association represents more than 500 of America’s chocolate and candy companies. The folks at the National Confectioners Association are providing an inside look at some of the most often-asked questions about Valentine’s Day candy – and I’m excited to share them with you.

For example, when you open a box of chocolate, how do you pick which piece to eat? Only 50 percent of chocolate lovers use the “map” in a heart-shaped box of chocolates to find their favorites while 31 percent pick at random. The remainder bites the corner to determine the chocolate’s filling (13 percent) or pokes at the bottom of the piece of chocolate (6 percent) to determine its contents.

Plus, do you know the most popular filling in a box of chocolates? According to 32 percent of Americans, it’s caramel! It’s no surprise that the other popular fillings include nuts and chocolate.

Valentine’s Day is about more than just fun facts about special holiday treats. The National Confectioners Association is providing extra resources on Valentine’s Day Central for parents looking to encourage a balanced approach to treating around big candy moments. Valentine’s Day Central is part of the candy industry’s commitment to helping people manage their sugar intake by providing consumers with information, options, and support as they enjoy their favorite treats. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Happy Valentine’s Day – don’t forget to show our friends at the National Confectioners Association some Valentine’s Day love by following them on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and using the hashtag #ValentinesDayTreats.

RepairSmith Offers Busy Moms a Convenient Soultion to Car Repairs

I am a stay at home Mom, as I know many of my readers are, too.  What do you do when your car needs an oil change or even a tune up?   I make an appointment and take my car and have to wait. And wait. That is not very convenient for me.  So, I am going to tell you about RepairSmith.

What is RepairSmith?

RepairSmith comes to you and fixes your car in your driveway.  How awesome is that?  And, it can all be done online. Just schedule your appointment, get a quote via text message and you can manage all your repairs and maintenance online. Their expert delivery mechanics are equipped with company vans and state-of-the-art tools and equipment allowing them to handle about 85% of repairs on-site. If shop-level tools are required, car owners can drop off at one of our fully-vetted shops. They stand behind all work with a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.

Convenience

This is life changing for me!  No more waiting at a dealership or auto repair shop for an oil change.  That gets hectic, especially if you have to take your kids. If you cannot start your car, you cannot get it to the shop to get it fixed.  In instances like this, you would normally have to get your car towed.  That is expensive! RepairSmith can come to your home  and fix your car.  I don't have to get kids ready and lug all their sippy cups and things to entertain them.  I can schedule all my repairs and maintenance online at my convenience, at a time that works for ME!

What services can the RepairSmith technicians do at my home?

If an oil change is all you need, they can most definitely do that.  But here is a list of the services they can do at your home.

• Replace front brake rotors
• Replace rear brake pads
• Replace alternator
• Service automatic transmission fluid
• Transmission rebuilt/replace
• Synthetic oil change
• Replace spark plugs
• Replace front brake pads
• Replace catalytic converter

Make sure to visit RepairSmith to enter your specific information(car make, model, mileage)  to see the exact repairs  they can do at your home.

Let's talk price and warranty

RepairSmith offers compete pricing on all repairs. They do not charge you more because they are coming to your house.  And once they quote you a price, that is what you pay. When the technician arrives and finds your car needs more or less services, their team always reviews this with you before proceeding and get your approval. They offer a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on all their repairs. That is a great warranty!
