Terro Mosquito Repellent Review & Giveaway
As the wife of a former pest control technician, I can tell you that I have been using Terro for years. Last year we spent our first summer in the area and were renting a home. For some reason, we had horrible ants coming into our home. The ants were into everything and my husband quickly suggested the Terro ant bait.
Because of these previous experiences with Terro products, I quickly said “yes” when I was asked to try out the new Terro Mosquito Repellent. I don’t know about you, but mosquitos love me. They also love my son. Whenever we go outside, we are quickly annoyed at the mosquitos and most of the time we find ourselves coming back inside for some bug spray.
At the particular time my husband sprinkled the repellent on our backyard, I was sitting on our patio. Although the bottle said that it could take up to 3 hours to begin working, I began to see immediate results. I was only bit one time while I was outside that day and as I said, it had not been 3 hours. We used the product prior to having a backyard party with our friends and I heard no complaints of anyone getting bit by mosquitos that day.
Overall, I was very pleased with the product. I liked that it is granules and all natural. The only disadvantages that I found were the faint garlic smell and I also wished that it covered more area. It does cover 1000 square feet which is probably an adequate amount for most lawns. I would definitely consider using this product again, especially if I were having company.
Terro Mosquito Repellent is an easy-to-use granular product made from a blend of natural botanical oils, including citronella. The 100 percent natural granules are safe to use around people and pets and is easily applied in any area where mosquitoes are a nuisance by simply sprinkling over the desired area. The repellent’s effectiveness lasts up to three weeks. Terro Mosquito Repellent can be used around patios, decks, campsites, pools, and houses, on lawns and in and around flower or garden beds.

Paper Jamz Product Review & $25 Walgreens Giveaway
In my home I have a 5, 7, and 12-year-old. In addition to this, I frequently have teenagers from church over to my home. It is a rare thing to find a toy that is suitable for all ages.
When I was told I would be receiving a Paper Jamz guitar to review, even my husband was excited about it. My kids have argued over this toy and I know that it will also be a hit with the youth from church.
Paper Jamz guitars are available in six different guitar versions and come with no strings which makes them an air guitar. You can jam out by simply touching the paper surface. They are battery powered, so you don’t have to worry about an electric cord. My kids can easily take the guitar outside or to their rooms to jam without being too loud. There is a built-in speaker and volume control.
The guitar has three modes for jamming:
1. Perfect play: play perfect guitar to the 3 built-in songs
2. Rhythm: control the guitar rhythm for each song
3. Freestyle play: play it like a real guitar and create your own songs
Paper Jamz also has an amp and drums that can be purchased separately.
Buying tips: 1) You should know that this guitar requires 3 AAA batteries and they are not included with the guitar. That is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. As a mom, I know that kids want to play with something as soon as they get it. So, if you buy one just be sure you have the batteries ready. 2) Since there are six different guitars with built-in songs, be sure to read the song list on the back of the guitar so you’ll know which songs you’re getting.
Things I really like about this guitar: 1) battery powered (no cords) 2) volume control 3) automatic shut-off (doesn’t waste batteries) 4) freestyle mode 5) affordable price
Paper Jamz are available at Walgreens for only $24.95. Your local Walgreens may have these on display for you to try out. Since this is a giveaway, we’re offering a $25 gift card to Walgreens so that you can get one of these guitars for yourself. Give it as a birthday or Christmas gift or save it for yourself.
This giveaway is available to those with a U.S. address. Please leave a comment to enter. Additional entries are available by following me on twitter and/or facebook, promoting this giveaway through stumble upon, twitter, or other social media. Please leave a separate comment for each thing that you do, along with a link for any promoting that you have done. This giveaway ends Wednesday, July 21. The winner will be contacted via email and will have 72 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen.
Thanks and good luck! 
Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review, but was provided with a guitar to try. We used the guitar for about one month before writing the review.
