Sante Fe Dish Collection Review

I was so excited when I was offered the opportunity to review this beautiful Sante Fe Dish Collection.  This set is bright and colorful and provides a festive setting for all of your favorite dishes .  The quality is excellent - we have used them for a week now and I am very impressed by the durability and feel of this set.  This collection makes your family dinner favorites fun and festive!

This dish collection is stoneware and microwavable. They are dishwasher safe as well. The bowls are big and deep enough for a nice size bowl of chili or mac n cheese or they can even be used for your favorite breakfast cereal.

I was so excited to try these out because my old dinner set is mismatched, chipped and just plain old. I absolutely love the feel and the look and in my opinion I just think that they are beautiful!

This beautiful set comes with 16 pieces

• 4 101/4" Dinner plates
• 4 71/4" Salad/ Desert plates
• 4- 20oz Bowls
• 4-20oz Cups

My mismatched set - ugh!

Here are the old ones are close up - double ugh!

The new beautiful Sante Fe Dishware collection!

The new set carefully stowed away in the cabinet.

We had hamburgers that evening to celebrate our new dishes.

Here is my oldest showing off the new dishes

We are extremely happy with the quality and color of the new set!

Ms Gooley, my science teacher

I'm nominating my son's science teacher, Ms Gooley, because she has really made an impact on his interest in science.  She does fun experiments with the kids and she is loved very much.  She is also very kind, patient and understanding when they need more help with their experiments.

According to my 9-year old:
My science teacher, Ms Tracey Gooley, at Dater Montessori in Cincinnati, Ohio is awesome! She really makes learning science a lot of fun.  She is always kind and helpful. One of my favorite experiments was one where we made different concentrations of solutions. Our mission was to make (and drink) different concentrations of lemonade. We also got to do a temperature experiment where we took temperatures around the school. I took the temperature inside the scare crow. Then we had to chart and explain the results.

Ms. Gooley is my favorite science teacher and I hope she wins the Ward's Science Gift Card so she has some cool stuff for the 4th graders next year.

Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent Review and (Giveaway)

(Disclosure) Purex sent me a free bottle in an exchange for an honest review, All opinions are 100% my own!

As a Purex Insider, I love trying to find the right detergents for my family. When I was offered a chance to review the Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent I jumped at the chance. When my detergent arrived I immediately had to try it out.  First of all I really liked that it was a biodegradable formula which promotes green cleaning practices.

First of all, I loved the smell - very tropical but not overwhelming. I felt like I was going to see a palm tree sprout up out of nowhere.  I could imagine myself swinging in a hammock with a slight breeze and palm trees all around.  It has exotic fruits like pineapple and coconut combined with distant flowers to make you feel like you are on a tropical vacation.
