I have enjoyed using my Brother P-Touch to organize my home. You can read my first post here and also view my before shots of my unorganized home. I was able to organize my pantry, counter-tops, and the kids play area using the Brother P-Touch Labeler, as seen below. It is really easy to use and you can choose different fonts, font sizes, borders, symbols and languages. My next project is labeling common words in French around my house to help my kids and I learn French!
The first area I tackled was my counter-top. As soon as I buy beans, rice, oats and more in a bag, I transfer it to a glass container. I love displaying the containers on my counter-top, but I wanted to label them. I also labeled the containers in my pantry for easy identification and organization.
I was also able to label my pantry to help keep me organized.
I was also able to label my kids toy area. Now they know where everything goes so the play area can stay organized {hopefully}! I experimented with the borders on these labels.
As you can see I was able to organize multiple areas in my home with the Brother P-Touch Labeler. I plan on using it in the garage and in my craft area next. I feel accomplished that it is still January and I have started to organized my home in regards to my New Year resolutions. I have seen a noticeable improvement in the kid’s play area because they know where everything goes! Also, the pantry is staying organized because everything has it’s place!
If you need help organizing this year, check out the Brother P-Touch Labeler! Also, check out what other bloggers have to say on the . {Look for the Mom Central headings}.
“I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Brother P-Touch and received a product sample to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

My favorite post from last week was All About Herbs Series: Echinacea from Nature’s Beauty Secrets Blog. I have been getting that tickle feeling in my throat, so I have been taking Echinacea to boost my immune system. It was awesome to read about how it is grown, how it can be used and all the health benefits of taking it!

I love lemonade, especially when it is homemade! I was able to pick to huge bag-fulls of lemons off their Meyer Lemon tree this last week. It has inspired some creativity! I am going to experiment with the lemons and try to make some home cleaners and recipes with the whole lemon, utilizing both the juice and the peel!
Ingredients:
Start by juicing the lemons till you have 2 cups! Heat up water and measure out 2 cups. Pour 1 tablespoon of lavender buds into the hot water. {In my picture you will see yellow with the lavender, it is a lemon peel. Unfortunately, I left it in too long and I could taste the bitterness of the peel, so maybe do without the peel.} Pour your sugar choice in the hot water as well and let it dissolve. I actually used Stevia for the first time in this and I think I used 5-6 Tablespoons and it doesn’t taste super sweet. Sugar options would be agave, refined sugar, honey, whatever you want. Mix most of the sugar with the warm water so it dissolves, but feel free to add more to your finished product to sweeten to your likeness. After the lavender has steeped for 5-10 minutes, use a strainer as your pour the hot water into the lemon juice. Add three more cups of water to the pitcher and mix.
Tips:
Now you have Lavender Lemonade! Enjoy!

I have another great monthly subscription service to share with you. Bulu Box is the first vitamin, supplement and general health sample box subscription. You will get 4-5 samples of products for both men and women, including vitamins, weight loss, sports nutrition, protein, diet, energy, detox, digestion, sexual health, herbs, natural remedies, endurance and more.
The Bulu Box is $10 a month, including shipping, and if you sign up for a year you will save $10. The Bulu box will be delivered every month to your door via USPS. I love that subscription services let you try out products before you buy them. I also like that there are a variety of subscriptions that you can find the perfect one for you!
My box included a variety of samples. One of my favorites was a full size Marz Sprays C Spray {valued at $20}. It is the perfect thing to have on hand if you need a boost, especially if you are feeling down or sick. It has Vitamin C, Echinacea, Zinc, Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D. I also enjoyed the Re-Body SafSlim packets made of high-linoleic safflower oil. Each packet is a serving that helps reduce belly fat when combined with diet and exercise. They are pretty tasty! I also tried the Herbal Papaya Organic Papaya Leaf Extract tea & capsules. Papaya is chalk full of antioxidants that help calm inflammation. The tea was really tasty! I wasn’t that fond of the Organic Vibrant Health Cleansing Lemonade! I bet if I was doing a cleanse, I would appreciate it more. The Sunwarrior Warrior Blend Vegan Protein was tasty and gave me a sense of fullness. It also promotes muscle function and increases energy. This is perfect as I start to exercise more!
I enjoyed sampling these products and I am now aware of these products when I go shopping at my local health food store. I have seen some of these products before and now that I have sampled them, I would love to buy the full size and see if I like them in the long run.
