*This post contains an affiliate link

 

I don’t know about your family, but my family sure can make a mess with the soap in the bathroom. I have tried everything to cut down on the mess and soap waste.  Different styles of soap dishes, different style pump bottles, and even a manually operated wall mounted dispenser. That thing sure was hard to refill!

 

I have now found a soap dispenser that really works. The Automatic Adjustable Soap Dispenser from ToiletTree Products. ToiletTree Products is a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative bath products.

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

 

This Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser features a drip-free design that prevents messy counter tops. Simply put your hand under the dispenser and the perfect amount of soap will be dispensed. No dirty, germy hands all over the soap or the pump bottle. The soap dispenser has 5 settings to choose from, so you can easily adjust the amount of soap being dispensed.

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

The unit holds up to 500ml, approximately 16 ounces, of liquid soap and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use the dispenser for lotion, too. The automatic touchless soap dispenser is very easy to fill. The top of the dispenser twists off and has a wide opening for pouring more liquid soap in.

 

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

 

The Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser does have a modern look to it. I think it blends well with my beach themed bathroom. I do need to find a color coordinated soap, though. lol The soap dispenser does not leak. There is soap on the counter because I kept setting it off when I moved the dispenser for pictures. lol

 

Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser Review & Giveaway

 

I love that this soap dispenser is so easy to fill. I love that I can control how much soap is dispensed. I love that it is touchless. No one should touch it except for me when I fill it. The germaphobe in me says Yeah! to less germs everywhere. I anticipate it being very easy to clean and maintain the soap dispenser long term.

PerfectLinens Toastmaster Flannel Sheets Review & Giveaway

by

 

I recently received a set of PerfectLinens’ Toastmaster flannel sheets to review. PerfectLinens have 30 years experience supplying sheets to the biggest retailers. They don’t sell any other products. They specialize in sheets.

 

PerfectLinens test for the most comfortable sheets. Using instruments and analysis like Nike and NASA, they are unique with their novel emphasis on objective research.

 

Sheets change with usage so we retest after multiple launderings.  We evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration.

 

sheets

 

The sheets come in the form of a cube, inside a zippered vinyl bag. That makes it convenient to store the sheets for the summer. Just place in the zippered bag to keep them fresh and dust free until you are ready for them again. The care instructions are on the paper insert, shown above. Easy to keep in the cube to refer to them year after year. The sheets would make a great gift, too!

 

 

sheets

 

The Toastmaster flannel sheets are so soft and warm. I love flannel sheets. I use them at least 3 seasons out of the year. I have been known to use them in the summer, too. That air conditioning can feel a little chilly sometimes! These Toastmaster flannel sheets are literally the softest I have ever used. It’s so warm and comforting to snuggle down into these sheets after a long, tiring day.

 

sheets

 

Toastmaster sheets are available in 14 different colors. I chose Chocolate. The color in my photographs isn’t true to what the color looks like in person. Here is a color sample from the PerfectLinens website. This color is true to what it looks like in person.

As everyone knows, sheets change with use. PerfectLinens retests after multiple launderings.  They evaluate how each sheet feels over it’s lifetime, saving money and eliminating shopper frustration. Shoppers select from a curated selection of the most comfortable sheets.  No more searching through hundreds of sheets on multiple websites.

GrubMarket Review & Giveaway

by

I recently received a GrubMarket regular-size California Fruit Bounty box. It sure was convenient to have fresh, organic fruit delivered right to my door! I had fun unpacking the box. Pulling back the shredded paper to discover what fruit was inside.

 

GrubMarket

 

I received apples, oranges, a grapefruit, a pomegranate,  an avocado, a pineapple, and medjool dates. The fruit was well packed to protect it during shipment. I did email GrubMarket to ask what would happen if the fruit arrived damaged. He said that they would issue a refund for the damaged fruit. So that’s good to know!

 

GrubMarket

 

 

GrubMarket makes fresh and delicious food accessible to all people by keeping their prices consistently lower than all comparable grocers. GrubMarket believes that everyone should have the opportunity to eat well, & that price should never be a barrier between you and fresh, healthy, and delicious food.  They offer free delivery across the U.S. for all orders above $59.GrubMarket works with a variety of farms and artisan producers to bring you high quality foods and other items at prices that are up to 50% OFF what you’d typically find at Whole Foods and other grocers.

 

I placed all the beautiful fruit I received on a tray with a little of the shredded paper from the shipping box and used it as a dining room table centerpiece. I have found that my family eats more fruit if I leave it out in the open for all to see.  Sometimes I place fruit in a bowl. but this time I wanted to be sure we could all see the beautiful fruit. If they see it, they will eat it!

 

GrubMarket Centerpiece

 

My family loved everything in the box. After seeing the fruit, my teenage son announced, “I claim all the apples!” lol

Faith of Our Fathers DVD Review & Giveaway

by

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers tells the story of John Paul and Wayne, two young men in search of their fathers. There is one problem, though, their fathers have been dead for 25 years.  It also tells the story of Eddie and Steven, two young men in search of their sons, whom they’ve never met.

 

 

 Faith of Our Fathers

 

 

In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades.  They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born.

 

 

In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers’ names.  Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died.

 

 

Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys.  The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam.  Ultimately, in parallel stories – 25 years apart – the fathers and sons are bound together forever. The writers do an amazing job of blending the father’s story into their son’s stories.

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers  stars Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Downes, David A.R. White, Rebecca St. James, Si Robertson, Candace Cameron Bure, Scott Whyte, and Sean McGowan. That is one star studded cast! They all portray their parts great, too. By far, the stand out in Faith of Our Fathers is David A.R. White. He does an awesome job with his character. I have seen many of David A.R. White’s movies. I won’t go as far as saying that I have seen them all. But I have watched his movies all the way back to his early movies that he made with the Christiano brothers. Faith of Our Fathers, from Pure Flix Entertainment, is my new favorite movie of his.

 

 

Faith of Our Fathers is a 96 minute drama that is rated PG-13. It has that rating because of war violence. I think this movie is suitable for the whole family. If you have young children that are bothered by explosions, and the sounds of gunfire, however, you may want to watch without them. Or be ready to distract them during those scenes.

 

Faith of Our Fathers

 

 

 

I watched this for the first time with my 15 year old son. We both loved it. He is already saying quotes from the movie. lol My husband and 29 year old son watched it tonight. They were laughing so hard I heard them in another room. I had to go in and rewatch parts of it. I didn’t want to miss out on any of the laughter. lol

 

There are several Special Features on the Faith of Our Fathers DVD:

  • The Heart of Faith of Our Fathers
  • Honoring Father’s Day
  • Commemorating Memorial Day
  • Si Robertson Interview
  • Stephen Baldwin Interview
