I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
When we first moved into our new house I did not have the luxury of a dishwasher. The daily task of washing dishes by hand ended last year when my wonderful husband installed the dishwasher!
Since then my kids aren’t arguing as much over who has to empty or reload the dishwasher. Their only complaint was that I needed to get different dishwasher soap. Apparently the other brand I had although it was supposed to be more natural, just didn’t get the job done. This was evident by the food left baked onto the dishes and the ever present filmy look of my glasses.
My husbands solution was to practically hand wash them before putting them into the dishwasher! Sure this worked, but then I would have to imagine any time you wash one load of dishes twice they are going to turn out pretty much clean. Who wants to spend the time pre-washing dishes before putting them into the dishwasher to actually be washed? Better question yet, who HAS the time to wash a load of dishes twice!!
Since we began using Cascade Platinum Action Paks I can tell that there is definitely a noticeable difference.
In fact these even cleaned my dishwasher for me too! We live in an area where our water has some rust in it which leaves things looking dingy or yellowish. Sometimes this can make your meals look unappetizing.
It is important to me that my dishes come out sparkling clean because I tend to take a lot of food photos for my recipe posts and the last thing I would want is for there to be a yellow stain ruining my photo!
Since we are talking about food and photography I should also mention the neat Instagram contest that is happening right now.
Now,more than ever, people eat with their eyes,and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and Instagram. With that in mind,TopChef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine,Gail Simmons,has partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.
Gail Simmons has joined Cascade is bringing you this #MyPlatinum Instagram Contest. Just show off a photo of your clean dishes on Instagram to be entered to win!
Each week, two contestants will be selected to receive a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher. Additionally,one lucky grand prize winner will receive a Platinum kitchen!
You must be a registered member of Instagram to enter. Be sure to tag your photos with #MyPlatinum to enter. If you’re not a member, you can join Instagram right from your mobile phone.
You can find all of the details about this contest here.

Yesterday while we were fishing for Father’s Day, my husband spotted a HUGE crane perched in a tree and asked me to get a photo of it.
I was so busy watching it that by the time I got my phone out to take a pic of it, it was already flying away. This is all I ended up with lol, but hey it is an interesting looking old tree right 
First up I should probably mention a little about our chickies!
They are growing SO fast and I am enjoying watching the process!
You can see this one has almost completely gotten her wings!
Her entire back is filled with the beginnings of what will be feathers.
It is so neat to see how different each of their markings are, and I am glad my husband decided to get several breeds so we could see them all.
This is a close up of what the feathers look like as they are just starting out.
We had to upgrade their box for the second time already! They loved it, and were instantly rearranging the pine shavings to make it more like home lol.
We started back running after a slight injury made it impossible for me to run. But I am back at it, and we have decided for now it is better to run every other day until I can build up more endurance.
Seriously this is the best part of running!
More photos of the girlies!
We are making it a priority to spend a lot of time handling them so they will be friendly chicks when their beaks get stronger
As of right now I believe this one in the middle is at the top of the pecking order.
This guy came for a visit last week! I found him chilling in the grass, but he didn’t want to hang around once he spotted us.
This is a large snapping turtle, I stayed far away from it!
But my husband on the other hand did what any guy would do. He tried to make it snap at the stick. But the turtle wasn’t having it, and after a few tried my husband let him be, and he went on his way.
Oh, and we got dirt! LOTS of dirt! My gardens are coming along nicely!
We decided to go ahead and plant out veggie garden in the front of the house since it gets the most sun.
This garden has cukes, tomatoes, peas, green & red peppers, banana pepper, jalepenos, white & red onions, dill, oregano, parsley, chocolate mint, peppermint, chamomile, romaine lettuce, sage, cilantro, chives, and lavender. I think that’s it?
We also planted zucchini, pumpkin, strawberries, and blueberries in the back yard.
I need to find a place to plant some potatoes next, but that will have to wait for another week lol.
I began this book Gone Girl over the weekend and so far I think I like it. But I have heard that this is one of those books that people either really liked or hated. If you read it I would love to hear if you liked it or not.
I successfully managed to get all of our paperwork organized and filed! This is a project that I had been avoiding for TWO years! But after losing my sons social security card and a boat registration I figured I couldn’t ignore it any longer and now it is done and I am SO relieved!
It’s funny how I dread something that only took a couple days and once it is over I can’t remember why I dreaded it in the first place.
A close up of the one I’ve started calling the mama because she seems to be in charge.
We dug up a bunch of plants from our rental house and brought them to the new house to plant. I estimate several hundred dollars worth!
We celebrated my nephews graduation! Yes homeschoolers can have a real graduation ceremony too!
My son and his friend had a competition to see who could keep their hand in a cooler filled with ice water.
Over 20 minutes later I convinced my son to let her win He knew they would be there all night since they are both pretty strong willed.
It was awesome to see my mom with her brother and sisters!
It’s always fun to visit with family!
Finally Happy Father’s Day to the greatest catch of my life! I Love you!
