reflexjan says "Delicious ~ comfort food that's good for you !" about Amy's Vegetable Pot Pie

reflexjan — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:48:34 GMT

We have used the Amy's brand products for a long time and enjoy most all of them, but the organic Vegetable Pot Pie is our favorite. Comfort foods we enjoyed as children aren't always very healthy so finding something that fits BOTH the healthy label and the comfort food label is outstanding !! Very tasty ~ Best baked in oven or toaster oven rather than microwave...

reflexjan says "It works !!" about Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover

reflexjan — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:31:58 GMT

We currently have 5 pets living in our home ~ we have had more in the past. We do not have any problems with our healthy pets, but as pets age they sometimes have problems with incontinence. We are blessed to have animals that live a very long time and when we learned about Nature's Miracle we had to try it.

What a perfect name! It is indeed miraculous! Yes, it initially has a strong alcohol smell, but that goes away very quickly and the urine smell goes away within 24 hours (it takes the enzymes a while to do their work) I use it as a laundry additive when washing pet blankets and pet bed covers that have been urinated on........it's truly a miracle.

If you have pets you need to keep a bottle of this around. We buy it by the gallon and then pour some in an empty spray bottle (be sure to lable it!) to use on small areas.

We can't imagine having pets and not having Nature's Miracle !

reflexjan says "My cats love it and I love it!" about Nature's Earth Feline Pine Cat Litter (Size: 7lb.)

reflexjan — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:18:46 GMT

We first used this product when my son purchased a ferret. It did such a terrific job with the ferret's litter box that we decided to try it with our cats.

Anytime you change to a different cat litter you have to put the new litter in the litter box first and put the litter they are accustomed to on top. We did that for about a month ~ maybe 6 weeks ~ each time we cleaned the litter box we used more of the new and less of the original until we were using only the Feline Pine. We have had nothing but success with this product. There is no ammonia smell from urine and we use the hooded litter boxes so we don't have any litter that scatters onto the floor.

Five months ago we took in a 5 year old cat who was accustomed to using clumping litter (my very LEAST favorite of all litters). We used the "layering" system to train him to use the Feline Pine and have had no problem at all.

We do not use any artificial scents in our home so this product is perfect for us ~

Vets and other...

reflexjan says "Keeps me AND my dentist smiling !" about Sonicare Elite 7300 Toothbrush with Sonic Technology

reflexjan — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:53:02 GMT

Unfortunatley for me my gum disease is an inherited trait. I see my dentist for cleanings 4 times a year in order to be certain my periodontal disease is under control. Once I started using the Sonicare my gums became healthier and the cleaning procedure became less dreaded (less plaque means less tartar means less pain during cleanings!)

It's so easy to brush adequately because of the timer ~ and each time I brush I feel as though I've just had my teeth cleaned!

I want to keep my own teeth for the rest of my life ~ hopefully a long, long time! Since using Sonicare that seems like a real probability ~ I'm smiling, my hygenist is smiling and my dentist is smiling !

reflexjan says "Great product I've used for years !" about Tom's of Maine Natural Unscented Deodorant

reflexjan — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:56:16 GMT

I always look for products that are NOT tested on animals and that do not use any animal part in the product itself. This deoderant meets all my requirements including not having aluminum in the ingredients.

I have used the product for over14 years and only use something else if my store is temporarily out of stock (then I use the Tom's of Maine Calendula Deoderant)

The price is actually in line with "regular" deoderants ~ It's a product that is gentle and effective for me and doesn't harm the animals!

reflexjan says "I feel secure knowing my grandkids are safe !" about Britax Marathon

reflexjan — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 21:29:37 GMT

When we were in the market for a car seat for our 2 yr old granddaughter my husband used Consumer Reports and various other consumer periodicals to find a seat that was not only safe, reliable and sturdy but one that was comfortable for the child and easy for me to install and adjust.

A safety seat is only safe if installed correctly and if the child is correctly buckled in. The Britax Marathon is very easy to install. The small paper back manual is attached to an elastic cord that is connected under the seat cushion and can easily be pulled out to examine directions and diagrams when making adjustments. Because it's attached to the child seat it is always with the seat even when you change cars.

We live about 4 hours away from our grandkids and often travel with them. The only complaint we have ever had is that there is no cup or bottle holder attached to the seat.....

It's comfortable for the kids ~ it has high safety ratings ~ and it's easy for us ! Our granddaughter...
