Fridge-a-Mortis & the Clorox-ictionary

The Makers of Clorox have come up with the Clorox Ick-tionary as a way to help parents change the way they talk and feel about messes by creating a new vocabulary around life’s messy moments.

Clorox ick-tionary

In an earlier post, I shared some of my kids “ick” moments from when they were younger. My kids are older now and we still have many “ick” moments… just different types of “ick”. Lately my kids mess tends to revolve around their rooms, shoes, clothes and most recently…food as they are learning how to feed themselves.

can’t tell you how many times I find un-identifiable food spills and messes hidden in the dark recesses of the vegetable drawers and on the fridge shelves.  All sorts of “Fridge-a-mortis” in various states of decay.

Fridge-a-mortis”, which according to Clorox’s Icktionary is the liquid in the bottom of the vegetable drawer that hardens over time.

Albion Fit Review and Giveaway

*Disclosure—This is a sponsored post from Albion Fit.  However, all opinions and statements are mine and mine alone. 

I was recently contacted by Albion Fit to give an honest review of some of their fitness clothing.  Of course I was really excited about this as I am always looking for comfortable AND stylish workout clothes.

Many of you know that I am a runner and if you follow The Idea Room on Instagram, you will see that I am also training for my third half-marathon…(I realize this qualifies me as half-crazy).  But I love it.  I love being active and having the right clothing makes a big difference.

Now, I am not really a fan of self-portraits.  In fact, I feel super self-conscious.  My husband and I were laughing while trying to get these pictures because I feel so unnatural in front of the camera.  I prefer hiding behind a computer screen in my yoga pants ;)!

I chose to review the Albion Fit Women’s Fitness Go Long Crew Top in Heather and the Mantra Yoga Pant.  I tried them out on a recent family hiking and camping trip we took to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.  I knew we were going to be doing a lot of strenuous hiking and I wanted to be comfortable and fashionable while doing it ;)!  Since it is a desert, the temperatures during the day and night can be extreme, so it is important to layer.

The shirt is made of a light weight material that is perfect when there is a bit of chill in the air.  It was really comfortable and I like how it fell around my waist.  It was slim enough to not be baggy and hanging, but it was not too form fitting which I am uncomfortable with.

And the pants…I LOVED the pants.  They were so comfortable and I love the flare on the end.  As a girl with some curves to her, the flare is a nice touch to balance out my hips.  And I LOVED the design on the pant leg.  A fun twist to a black yoga pant.  They were so comfortable to hike in and they still looked great after a rigorous hike.

Silhouette Giveaway & Promotion

Have I shared with you just how much I enjoy using my Silhouette?  Well, if we haven’t established this yet…I do.  I use it all of the time.  Most recently, I used my Silhouette machine to create this Subway Art Dresser for my son’s room.

We moved my two boys out of an overcrowded shared room and move them into their own spaces.  I shared my oldest son’s room reveal here if you are interested.  And today I want to share with you one project of my other son’s room.  His room is about 90% completed and I will for sure share with you the final reveal when I can’t get it done.

But before we do that…let’s be sure and get the details for the Silhouette Giveaway and Promotion out of the way for those of you who are here for that.
