Now that we’re officially enjoying a gorgeous fall in Connecticut, one must keep in mind that we’re coming into the cold and flu season.

The crisp New England mornings, frost-on-the-pumpkin and sounds of the heating furnace reminds us that the windows are officially shuttered for the season. One of the things I like best about fall is that first smell of wood-burning stoves waifing through the air.

One of our family members is a fat, lazy, spoiled 11-year old house cat. Occasionally he tries to escape (why, I don’t know ~ he has it so good here.) He became a member of the household when my daughter, now 25, got straight-A’s in 8th grade. We previously had a purebred Black Lab that lived to be 12, and then we were fur-free for awhile. It soon became evident that darling daughter….might be allergic to cats.

I’m pleased to have the opportunity to review Clorox® Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray.

Clorox® Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray helps to reduce common indoor allergens such as cat dander, dog dander and dust mite matter up to 90 percent. This is important to our family since I now have two grandchildren whom I’m fortunate to see almost on a daily basis! Lil Moomette just turned 2, and Slugger, my new grandson, is 2 months old.

When darling daughter was younger she was the typical teenager ~ and we all know how most teenagers are always on the go, and we constantly have to remind them to pick up their rooms. My, how times change. After living away at college, she actually became a changed person! Not to mention that my Charming Son-In-Law has some wonderful qualities in the housekeeping department!

If the pacifer gets dropped on the carpet ~ it’s immediately boiled for 5 minutes!

Now I can use Clorox® Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray for any soft fabric surfaces around the home where indoor allergens can thrive: cushions; upholstered fabrics; curtains; carpets; bedding; stuffed animals and pet bedding. When used as directed, it’s safe to use on virtually all fabric surfaces, and gentle enough to use around the kids and pets ~ it’s dye and fragrance free. When sprayed there were no harsh fumes.

Clorox® Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray has a fine mist trigger that won’t leave behind any harmful residue on fabrics, which is great since ‘Lil Moomette climbs all over, and the kitty likes to get comfy in the winter.

Clorox® Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray retails for approximately $2.99 and is available in home care iaisles of major retailers, or online at www.clorox.com. For further information, you can also call 1-800-277-1860.

For all my new readers ~ I’d like to point out that I’m from New England ~ Connecticut specifically.  Connecticut is known as “The Land of Steady Habits.” What that means is, we Yankees pretty much don’t like a change in routine.

For example, I still live in the same town I grew up in and; live in the one and only house I’ve ever owned.  If my husband ever moves, they’re going to have to carry him out feet first.

Now I live in an historic town in Connecticut, and my house is a colonial.  The Colonial has all sorts of neat features ~ crown moldings, 6-panel wood doors & beautiful hardwood floors.  But you can’t see those beautiful hardwood floors, because they’re covered up with wall-to-wall carpeting.

I know, Martha would have a trauma if she knew that.  But you see, my husband is a bit of a curmudgeon.  He doesn’t like change.  I’m on about my third change of wall-to-wall carpeting, and as long as I stay married (going on 35 years), I’ll never see those hardwood floors in my living and dining room.

We’ve raised two grown daughters in this house, and now are blessed with two grandchildren.  Can you imagine the traffic my carpets have seen?

I ‘m delighted to have the opportunity therefore, to review Spot Shot Instant Carpet Stain Remover.

Spot Shot Instant Carpet Stain Remover instantly eliminates the toughest carpet stains-even OLD stains! Spot Shot works great on pet stains, coffee, spaghetti sauce, grease and oil, marker, wine and more!

Just spray on Spot Shot and blot the stain away. No need for rubbing or scrubbing. It’s that simple.

This product is everything it claims to be, and then some!  My daughter uses it in her house as she has the two kids, a Black Lab and a cat.  Occasionally the Grand Dog comes to my house to visit or stay over, and, let’s just say she’s a New England dog too.  Although she adapts pretty well when we doggie sit, sometimes her tummy gets a tad upset.

Spot Shot instantly eliminates the toughest pet stains – and their equally tough odors. Specially formulated to get out the worst stains – including cat urine, dog feces and the always-popular dirty or greasy paw prints – while still being gentle to your carpet’s fibers.  Spot Shot’s NEW Non-Toxic Pet formula was created specifically for pet problems, and is safe to use around your pets when used as directed.

I just spray the Spot Shot on to whatever damage the grandkids or Fido has done, and my carpets are clean again!  We are certainly not lacking in carpet in this house to try the product on!  What I really like about this product is that it’s Non-Toxic, safe for children and environmentally friendly!  Plus ~ it has a Money Back Guarantee ~ now how many products come with that incentive to try!

Thanks Spot Shot, guess I’ll never see those hardwood floors as long as my carpets come out so clean using this product!  Check out Spot Shot at http://www.spotshot.com/

As part of my Grand Master Plan,  I’m hoping to try to retire next year. For the last 1-1/2 years, I’ve been building up my various ecommerce businesses, one by one.

It all started when my daughter was planning her wedding and I mistakenly decided to buy her a Celtic Tiara to wear at the reception. I bought it on the internet, and she promptly made me sell it on the internet. Little did she know she was creating a monster, as I plunged full speed ahead, opened an ecommerce store, and became a Power Seller. And who doesn’t believe in the Luck ‘O the Irish?

Opening an ecommerce store obviously meant that I had to invest in some office supplies to get my momreneur ebiz going. Superwarhouse.com is a one-stop shop for all home and business office needs. It’s also Eco-Friendly, and carries name-brand products.

If you’re going to sell on an ecommerce site, the most important thing, besides inventory, is you’d have to have a good-quality camera My favorites are the Canon Digital Cameras. Canon has announced a new initiative, Generation Green that combines the company’s eco-friendly printer products and solutions under one corporate brand. Generation Green is divided into three product classification categories: Eco-Conscious, Eco-Standards and Eco-Friendly. More and more people I know are making a concerted effort to go Green!

I also needed a postage scale to weigh all my packages that I send out for items I sell. I also had to purchase a tape-gun, packing and shipping supplies such as bubble wrap, packing tape, poly mailers as well as printing paper.

My second ecommerce business venture is that I established a Virtual Assistant website specializing in Administrative and Paralegal Assistance. I’ve been a professional paralegal for over 30 years, and this was a natural progression for me. In order to run such a business, I need to purchase items such as a scanner and am looking into Laptops as well.  The Epson scanners and HP laptops are one’s I’m definitely going to look into. However, Sony has announced their own plans for helping the environment by introducing the Sony VAIO Eco Friendly Notebook to the market. The notebooks are available in a range of “eco” colors, which include leopard print and floral patterns. Having a laptop gives me the flexibility to use Wi-Fi and work from almost anywhere! Since my Charming Son-In-Law is originally from Vermont, I can take it up there when I go to visit and never miss a beat on either my ecommerce business or my VA business!

There’s just so many choices at superwarehouse.com that I’ve definitely bookmarked the site as one of my favorites.
