Grand Prize Winner of the 2016 CRAFTSMAN Barrett-Jackson Auction Trips Sweepstakes!!!!!

Oma started 2016 with a great phone call. The nice lady on the other end, Linda explained that I was the grand prize winner of the 2016 CRAFTSMAN Barrett-Jackson Auction Trips Sweepstakes!!!!!. I had won not one; not two; not three; but four wonderful trips to enjoy Barrett Jackson Auctions to be held in different states!!!

The contest ended on December 27th 2015 and I remember entering daily. In order to enter, you had to be a member of the Craftsman Club.

The first auction trip is to Scottsdale, Arizona (between January 29 and 31, 2016); the second auction trip is in Palm Beach, Florida (between April 8 and 10, 2016); the third auction trip is in Las Vegas, Nevada (between September 24 and 26, 2016) and there will be one more city and date, which is to be determined. Hubby and I are hoping that the fourth trip will be the Connecticut event in June!!!

Oma loves entering contest and has won a few wonderful prizes. However, this sweepstakes for four trips is one of the best wins.

Barrett-Jackson is known as “The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions.” They specializing in providing products and services to collector car owners, astute collectors and automotive enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, in 2010 Barrett-Jackson was named one of the top 100 “World’s Most Ethical Companies” by Ethisphere Magazine.

We have never attended a Barrett-Jackson auction but have heard that they are very exciting and filled with automotive activates. We cannot wait to attend the 45th Annual Scottsdale Auction at Westworld of Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona at the end of the month. You can bet that I will be blogging about our wonderful adventure(s). 

Spot and Pet Stain Remover by VeryDirtyCarpets #BestStainRemoverEver

Best Concentrated Carpet Cleaner Product 

 

I never knew there was a name for it; however we have all experienced that annoyance of spot cleaning your carpet only to have the stain return a couple of weeks later. It is called Rapid Re-Soiling and is due to the fact that most carpet cleaning products leave a sticky residue that attracts dirt to your carpet when they dry. Spot and Pet Stain Remover by VeryDirtyCarpets does not leave that adhesive scum.

It claims to work great at most stains in the carpet like oils, food stains, sugary foods, and fresh animal stains. With two huge pound puppies at home and can attest to the fact that it did a great job on their muddy paw prints and a mystery stain that had been residing by my recliner for a couple of months.

I love that this product is Made In The USA
Comes With a Free Stain Removal Guide. 

 

 

EASY TO USE 4 STEP SYSTEM:

1. Blot stain to remove any solid soil or residue.
2. Apply a moderate amount (sparingly on upholstery) to the affected area then gently agitate into carpet with a brush. Do not scrub!
3. Blot stain with a clean white cloth to remove spot. Repeat until majority of stain is removed.
4. Allow area to dry then vacuum to remove encapsulated residue.

They have great website support; so if you have any just go to http://www.verydirtycarpets.com. Peter MacDonald is the Founder of VeryDIrtyCarpets and can boast of over twenty years of experience in Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning business. 

Tip: Always do a test on an inconspicuous part of the carpet or fabric before using it on the main area to clean.

This digital baby thermometer is so easy to use. It will start measuring right away after you turn it on. Therefore, you should place it in your mouth or other opening for about eight seconds before turning it on. The screen will change during measurement. It is very fast yet accurate. Love the easy-to-read LCD display. It has different beeps to alert for fever.

I love that the company is 100% dedicated to customer satisfaction. The product is FDA approved. Comes with a LR41 type battery. This is a must have for Grandma’s babysitting bag.

How do take the temperature?

Answer: You can use it three ways:

1. Oral.

• Used in mouth: Please close your mouth for 1 minute for stability of temperature, breath calmly through nose. Respiratory air would affect the accuracy of measure of your mouth. Eating, drinking or breathing cold air right before taking the temperature can result in inaccurate readings.
• Normal temp: About 98.6℉

2. Rectal.

• Used in anus of rectum: This is the way that can get the most steady temperature and suits for both infants and children. The sensor shall be inserted for 2~3 cm. Vaseline can be used for easier inserting.
• Normal temperature: About 99.7℉

3. Axillary Measurement.

• Clean the thermometer with a dry cloth and put it under the armpit. Press and hold in place with your arm. The temperature value of this measurement is not the most accurate. Not recommended for accurate measurement.
• Normal temperature: About 98.1℉

Coast Oak is Six-Months Old

I find it hard to believe, that Coast Oak is halfway through his first year! In just six short months, he has started to learn how to communicate and to eat solid foods.

He experienced his first sleep over at Oma and Opa's home last Saturday and did wonderfully.  He and brother Reef were so very easy to take care of.
