Wash It Chemical Free!

Mom's you're going to love this!! Now although I have not personally tried the product, it def was something that sparked my interest.  As I seem to get older, I seem to worry more about what I eat, wash with and clean with.  There are so many chemicals that we would not event think about.  Just the thought of chemicals creeping into my body is scary, let alone my children's!  As a Mother it's my job to keep them safe and free from harm - including all the chemicals we put into our bodies on a daily basis.  As they grown and learn, becoming more independent, I can at least teach them and hope they take it from there. 

Introducing the revolutionary way to do laundry without harmful detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. The Wash It system works with a household washing machine to infuse cold water with powerful oxidizers to deep clean laundry (identical to the systems used by many hospitals and hotel for the last 20 years). The system eliminates the need for bleach, hot water, chemicals or fabric softeners, it allows people to reduce the damage to the environment.



  •  Money Smart (no detergent, bleach, softener or hot water needed)
  • Time Smart (no need to separate colors in wash, shorter drying time)
  • Earth Smart (no discarded chemicals or plastic bottles in the landfill)
  • Health Smart (no dyes, chemicals or fragrances)
  • Identical to the systems used by many hospitals for the last 20 years
  • Saves families $600 a year

  • Skin irritations & allergic reactions from detergents & other soaps left in fabrics will be reduced or eliminate

Office Depot Foundation



Most children look forward to the beginning of the new school year.  But for those in families where money is tight, this can be a challenging time.  That’s why as school is getting ready to begin around the country, the Office Depot Foundation is helping deserving children like these start school on the right foot.
In 2014, the Foundation is donating 350,000 sackpacks to children in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and a number of other countries through its National Backpack Program, which is now in its 14th year.  By the end of this year, Office Depot and the Office Depot Foundation will have given away more than 3.3 million backpacks and sackpacks since the National Backpack Program began in 2001. 
The specially designed sackpacks come in seven bright and colorful designs that are new for 2014.  Each one includes a zippered pouch containing a pen, pencil, pencil sharpener, eraser, six-inch ruler and four crayons. The sackpacks do not have any Office Depot Foundation or Office Depot logos or markings.

Congrats Mountain Ridge



Whoop Whoop!!!  Congrats to Mountain Ridge for making it to Willamsport!! So exciting!  When the playoffs first started, my son played representing our league, but lost in the first round.  As a parent of a little leaguer this is what we live for - to see the smiles on these boys faces just melts your heart!! I love watching little league baseball, there's nothing better to do on a beautiful day, than to sit out there and watch these boys play.    Let's show these boys that we are behind them!  Through the end of the tournament on August 24th, Las Vegas-area fans can utilize Canon's PIXMA Printing Solutions and Cloud Technology to submit supportive comments and images via custom microsite, thegreatwalloffrandom.com.  These will be printed on-site in South Williamsport, PA to create "The Great Wall of Fandom" and players of the Mountain Ridge team can take heart in having the backing of their hometown!

While anyone can submit photos to "The Great Wall of Fandom" from virtually anywhere during each game, Canon will also produce keepsakes for on-site spectators and attendees of the Little League Baseball World Series by inviting them to pose in a Canon-branding batting cage located in the Family Fun Zone area, where on-site brand ambassadors will take photos using Cannon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR cameras and then print the captured images directly on Canon PIXMA MG7120 printers as tokens of the attendees experience.  

This year marks the 75th Anniversary of Little League, and part of its longtime success in providing a healthy, safe environment for 2.4 million children in more than 80 countries can be attributed to the assistance provided by sponsorships.  Canon joins Little League as its 20th National Sponsor, which help Little League maintain low team affiliation fees and provide valuable training and educational resources to coaches, parents, umpires, and volunteers.  Many of Little League's national sponsors also participate in enhancing the fan experience at the Little League Baseball World Series Family Fun Zone. 

Go Mountain Ridge!!!
