Frigidaire Adventures in Clean

10 Steps to Cleaner Clothes for Frigidaire by Tara Aronson Read fabric care labels before you wash. Your clothes will last longer if you know how to treat them. Sort laundry by color, wash cycle needed, and water temperature required. The Frigidaire Affinity’s Permanent Press cycle washes with warm water and less agitation, resulting in less wear and tear on your sturdy jeans, khakis, and sweaters; the Delicates cycle uses cold water and light agitation to gently clean swimsuits, workout clothes, and lingerie. Before washing stained garments, pretreat or prewash the spot using the Affinity’s Rinse & Spin cycle. If at first you don’t succeed, wash, wash again. To keep snags and lint to a minimum, zip zippers, button buttons, empty pockets, and brush away lint before tossing duds in the hamper. If your clothing is heavily soiled, your load large, or the water cold, add extra laundry detergent. Use the Affinity’s Heavy Duty cycle for sturdy but really dirty items

Hellmann's

I've always been a fan of Hellmann's mayonnaise. Did you know that Hellman's made a commitment to use 100% cage free eggs in all its products by 2020? Isn't that cool? Hellmann’s was a proud sponsor of one of the nation’s most celebrated food festivals – the 30th Annual FOOD & WINE Classic which took place in Aspen in June.  To celebrate Hellmann's announcement of their mission to transition to 100% cage-free eggs in all its products by 2020, the brand teamed up with Chef Tim Love to offer food lovers everywhere a behind the scenes look from the Classic. Check these out: YouTube video featuring Chef Tim Love and Friends ( Marcus Samuelsson, Mario Batali & Jonathan Waxman) from behind-the-scenes at the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2NHr2MFBA&feature=player_embedded Hellmann's Real Matters Sweepstakes (you can win various prizes including a Grand Prize trip to next year's FOOD & WINE Classic): https:

Book Review: A Heart Like His by Beth Moore

Publisher: B&H Publishing Group ISBN: 9781433677168 Page count: 336 Pages USD: $14.99 Publication date: May 2012 Genre: NON-FICTION/Christian Authors: Beth Moore and Dale McCleskey Summary: We all go through times when we feel insignificant or times when we feel certain that we have experienced a degree of failure from which there is no return. This is not a reality we experience alone, but is one that a man after God’s heart experienced as well. In “ A Heart Like His,” Beth Moore looks at this bond of mutual love and admiration between a man who was not unlike any of us and the one true God who is all good and all powerful. The book is an exploration of David’s incredible life, drawing spiritual insights from a man who boldly fulfilled his divine destiny not merely by what he did, but who he loved and served. Bringing lessons from David’s life to bear on your own, this picture of a man who loved and followed God will help you to serve with a heart focused o

DVD Review: Chuck Swindoll's Paws & Tales Being Kind & Caring

Mr. Swindoll introduces each episode with some thoughts and questions. This DVD (#8 in the series) includes 2 episodes: The Hullabaloo at Hunker Hill and The Great Go-Kart Race. In the first episode, kids learn about the importance and real-life application of forgiveness. It's about a soapbox derby dare that ends in disaster. The club members need to choose whether to revenge or to forgive. In the second episode, the lesson is about teamwork and friendship. When each individual wants his/her own way, teamwork suffers. The big go-kart race is approaching and the club members have to choose between cooperation or competition. These fun animated stories are not only entertaining but also teach kids to do the right thing according to Biblical principles. The songs are catchy. The bonus features include music videos, activities, and helpful teaching resources. A great tool for teaching kids Biblical truth and wisdom! ~I received a free copy of this DVD from Tyndale House Publ

Book Review: Living Close to God by Gene Edwards

About This Book: Have you tried harder to have a consistent time with the Lord—but failed? Does your mind wander during prayer, and do you run out of things to say? Do you question why it is so hard to fellowship with the Lord? Stop feeling like a failure at daily devotions and start walking every day with the Lord who loves you. Gene Edwards faced these same questions and struggles. And he found a better way to walk with the Lord than merely trying harder to pray and read the Bible. In Living Close to God (When You're Not Good at It) you will discover that loving God means much more than doing your best to serve Him. You will find ways to start your day with Christ, beginning with your first conscious thought in the morning. You will learn how to fellowship with Him during even the most demanding days. And when you go to the Scriptures, you will talk with Him in a two-way conversation—just as His first followers did. Includes a small-group discussion guide a
