Exciting News about Dropps

Remember Dropps?
Banner 125x125 
Dropps is a great little invention. Similar to the gel packs that are available for dishwashing detergent now, these are prepackaged and measured laundry ‘dropps’. Just put one in for a smaller load or two for a larger load and you are good to go. I was sent just a small sample, and I was bummed when they ran out. They are so convenient and easy to use. Even a sleep deprived, stressed out momma like me can’t mess them up.

Dropps Baby

They come in three types – Fresh scented, Baby, and Scented and Dye Free. Both the Baby and Scented and Dye Free are completely dye free and enzyme free making them great for sensitive skin.

Originally these had to be purchased online, but now they are available at a TARGET near you!!! In celebration, Dropps is going to give one month’s worth of detergent to a MelissaStuff reader.

    I make laundry more enjoyable by relaxing between loads with a cup of herbal tea. I also make it more enjoyable by making sure to get items out of the dryer and hung up right when the dryer is done. That way I have little to no need to iron.

Extravagantly . . . A Personal Post

There haven't been many personal posts from me in quite some time. I find I can't schedule them; I simply have to wait until it comes pouring from my emotions through my brain and into my fingertips.

Apparently today, I have something to say.

I've been reading a really challenging book with an unusual title. Brace yourself - it'sGod and Boobs by Angie Schuller-Wyatt. Yep, Schuller, as in Robert Schuller of the Crystal Cathedral. It's written by his granddaughter. I was a little wary when I received a copy to review. Honestly I was afraid it was going to be irreverent at best and unbiblical at worst. But I haven't found that to be true. In fact, I've been very surprised to find it challenging and encouraging of me as a believer and as a woman - fully and completely, a woman.

One of the things that it mentioned is how often we misinterpret the verse "Guard your heart for out of it are all the issues of life." Growing up this verse was used regularly …

A Christmas Post

This year as Christmas has approached, I have found myself thinking of Mary. Being the mom of three boys, I think it’s easier for me to put myself in her place . . . and yet, who can imagine what that was really like?

Mary was barely a teenager.She had never had sex.An angel appeared to her and told her she was having a baby.Mary is pregnant in a society that KILLS unwed mothers.Mary may have only barely known Joseph as their engagement was likely arranged . . . and he was probably much older. She had to go to this man and try to …

AMAZING Disney Fish Extender Gift Ideas

Being new to the Disney traveler's world meant being new to the FE world . . . and as we researched how we were going to participate in the FE that is a part of our cruise, we came across a lot of good FE ideas so I thought I would share them.

Disney Earrings - there are all kinds and many of them are one-of-a-kind but these are a novelty that I know I would love to get as an FE from someone else

Vintage Mickey Mouse Earrings - $3.99 MindieMay
Disney Character Clothes Pins - These would work well to close bags that hold other FE gifts or you could put a magnet on the back of each one and everyone could use them as note holders on the walls of their stateroom. Super cute - this vendor does a really good job with them.
Disney Character Clothes Pins-  OneMoreSunshine
Wave Phone Holders - If you need more information on what these are, you can see my previous post Top 5 Disney Necessities. Basically these are simple holders for a phone that Disney provides which is a cross between a cell p…
