Fab 5 Friday

I am going to give this a whirl! I love everyone else's Fab 5 posts!! Here it goes!



I will start with my all time favorite cleaning supplies! It is Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner! We have been using it for 5 1/2 years and I still LOVE it!! Bona even carries Ceramic Tile (which we like) and Laminate Floor Cleaner (which we used at the rental and LOVED) so there is a product for all floors! When we first started using it, we could only find it at Ace Hardware but now it is everywhere!! You just spray on your floor and wipe a microfiber cloth mop over it and the floors look great!!










Though I don't feel like I do a good job at being green I was excited that I was able to reuse something and not trash it with a little help from Emily and this wonderful product..



The chairs were so rusty I didn't think there was hope but look how great they turned out!!




So for 12 dollars of paint and 14 dollars for the mosaic table (kohls)

I have new old patio furniture!!



3rd is something I have wanted FOREVER! When we lived in Bowling Green I would hear "where the green grass grows" by Tim McGraw and would dream of living in the country with a big front porch with rocking chairs and for Mother's Day I got just that!! Kerry found these at Lowe's for much more reasonable than Cracker Barrel that is for sure!!




For several years I have been a part of a company called bzzagent.. They send me products to try and I tell all my family and friends about it (good or bad) and report back to the website. Last week they sent me Covergirl and Olay simply ageless foundation, cream blush (not a fan) and two concealers. At first I was like I am 29! Do I need something that has the word age in it yet?? The answer is yes! I LOVE IT! This is coming from a girl who has used Clinique foundation exclusively for years.. The covergirl makeup goes on SOOOO smooth and light and it has spf and moisturizers in it. I LOVE THE STUFF!!


And I saved my favorite for last!! Everyone knows I am my sister's biggest supporter and fan but she has just blown me away with her latest creation.. Check out the canvas she painted for Ethan my obsessed mario fan!




We haven't got in on his bedroom wall but I couldn't wait to show all my blogger buddies this! If you haven't already check out her blog and etsy page (Willow Tree Designs by Ashley Edwards on my sidebar)


Here is my first Fab 5! Hope you enjoy and everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Oh my gosh - I loved it all too! I am going to look for that floor cleaner the next time I am out!

The rocking chair part nearly made me cry.

AND I want to hear more about the foundation - is it at stores now? I have been using Clinique for years too. One night this week I had to buy my foundation and it's $25 now. I don't mind it so much when it's bonus time but it wasn't. Sort of ridiculous isn't it?

Ok I really like this Fab 5 thing! You turned me on the Bona too! I love it! I love it even more once I bought the mop that goes with it. As I drove by and saw you sitting on your front porch I thought how neat it was that you got to see everyone who comes in the neighborhood!

Where the Green Grass Grows is mine and Adam's theme song!!! I am going to get my rocking chairs next week! We'll rock away some years together!

I love your rocking chairs. I was actually admiring them when I was there the other day!

Don't you just love the Bona products!!! Kyle's cousin did our hardwood floors, and he gave us a kit as a housewarming gift when he finished. I love it! I use that in between Kyle's love for Shark steaming all the floors. Love your list, and I need more info on the makeup. I have always worn Clinique or Merle Norman.

I'll have to show Isaac the Mario canvas. He has gotten more into Mario lately and always talks about how much your Ethan loves Mario.

I'm going to give the floor cleaners a try...the one I loved the most has now put Almond Oil in their formula which makes it a no-no for our house! Also...I LOVE the first song on your play list...

Thank you so much for your comment! ;) We'll have to stay in touch from now on since we have lots of mutual friends...and especially because we both have 2 sweet boys!!!! Aren't they just the best?? I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.
