Tackling Mount Washmore with a Review

Well, did you survive Thanksgiving & Black Friday? I think I can mark mine down as JUST BARELY. Friday night ended on a great note, but the week was SO crazy. I literally started thinking about how long it will be until we are empty nesters ... which is sad since that is like 16 years down the road. LOL

Part of the reason for the craziness is that we decided that this week would be when we move everyone around again. While we were given permission to have the parent's bedroom in the basement by the state over a year ago ... our apartment complex did not want a bedroom in the basement. We were looking at getting a sleeper sofa for the living room, but we just could not find a style that we liked. THEN there was the discussion of having to open it and close it daily ... yeah, just icky.

We struck a compromise with Peanut. She has had her own room for over a year now and is seriously OCD about the state of her stuff. However, we were going to have to put the little girls in the same room. Since we were moving our bed out of the basement, we decided to section off a part of the basement just for her stuff. She literally will only have her bed in the room with the girls.

What this meant was Bullfrog & Peanut had to switch rooms ... then we had to move the little girls upstairs. FINALLY, we had to move our room upstairs and clean the basement. With Jeremy working Monday and Tuesday ... and today being Black Friday ... we had Wednesday & Thursday to do it all. The older two rocked and got their rooms done over the weekend so everything was set for quick changes.


Today was the setting up of the basement. Unfortunately, I had also fallen WAY behind in the laundry so I snagged Peanut's help while she was downstairs anyway. We sorted, folded, and put away 7 loads of laundry. We have another 5 to go, but we are both too sore today. However, that brings me to a topic on laundry. We LOVE scents and I HAVE to have soft clothes. I have 2 children that have sensory issues and cannot handle the scratchy fabric. This means that fabric softener is a must for our family. I was given the opportunity to sample Snuggle's new Exhilaration liquid softener as a member of Team Snuggle.

FREE product thanks to Snuggle!

Okay, so ... I have an OLD washing machine that still works great, but has no place for liquid fabric softener. I ordered a Downey Ball on Amazon because I know they work in my machine (I used to use them YEARS ago).

IF you have OCD about laundry being sorted, sorry

My review on the product:

Honestly, I STILL found that the scent does not last from wash to wash. I DO love how soft my clothes are and they smell GREAT in the wash and in the dryer. I just found that after they had been hanging or in the drawer for a few days, they had lost the scent. That is kind of a bummer since they do claim it will last. I have found that their scent boosters DO keep the scent. It seems to JUST be the liquid. Maybe it isn't sticking well to my clothes, I don't know.

BESIDES that though ... I love the product. It makes everything so soft and my favorite thing I washed with the softener was my black double layer blizzard fleece blanket. I am like Linus with that blanket and it was so nice to have it feel brand new again. I haven't had a product that has taken it back to that state so even though the scent didn't last, I WILL be buying Snuggle liquid softener again.

Have you noticed that the liquid softeners don't seem to be as fragrant as they used to? Is it just me? Comment below and let me know!
