Semi-annual eagle Brook Saloon dinner for Mothers Day
Photo-A-Day #4415

For Mother’s Day this year we are doing a repeat of Mother’s Day two years ago. Last night I was looking through my old Mother’s Day posts and two years ago we went to the Eagle Brook Saloon for dinner and I flew off to the PBS Annual Meeting on Monday. Cut to two years later and we are off to Eagle Brook Saloon once again with me scheduled to fly out tomorrow morning to the PBS annual Meeting. This time it is in San Diego.

The kids were adorable with their gifts to Allison. Eva and Andrew purchased a special bracelet that spells out mother in Morse code. the bracelet was priced at $10. Eva had $8. the woman gave it to her for $6. While Allison did not see what Eva had bought she knew about the exchange. She contacted the woman to thank her for being so kind to the kids. Allison got a response from the woman who told her that she distinctly remembered the kids and how polite and well mannered they were. Such a great thing to hear about your kids.

Eva made Allison breakfast in bed and Andrew have her a card. Both kids gave Allison cards. I gave her the gift of coffee and a hanging plant.

Dinner was nice. The whole family enjoys Buffalo Wings now. We had the best plate of them tonight, too. Eva flew through them and even Andrew wanted more than one. Eva gets this real serious face on when she wants more wings. We had a great dinner then I said goodbye to the family and headed to work. A short night tonight and then off to the airport for my flight.

HERO Clean Powers Through the Odors in My House

HERO Clean Laundry Detergent

A while back Hero Clean sent me a care package of their four products for free to try out and review. Opinions are 100% my own.

When I was at Dad 2.0 this past February I got to check out the line of Hero clean products. These are home cleaning products that are geared toward men. They have a great scent. I know because I use the Odor Eliminating spray in my car, often. I also save all my dirty clothes up to wash specifically in the Hero Clean Laundry Detergent. The scent is a clean and fresh Juniper Based Scent.

Hero clean is already in some stores like Target, Wegman’s, Runnings and Ace Hardware. You can also buy Hero Clean online through sites like Amazon.com (affiliate link), Target.com, Jet.com, Runnings.com and Hero-Clean.com.

Hero clean is not just about eliminating odors. They have a code philanthropic partnership with IAVA – Iraq and Afganistan Veterans of America. 7% of net profits on all products are used to support our nation’s veterans through IAVA.

HERO Clean Spray

I’ve used all of the products that were sent to me. I put the Dish + Hand soap at the kitchen sink so that I could use it to wash my hands. I like the large stable bottle and big pump. I always get a good shot of soap to wash my hands with. The Odor Eliminating Spray lives in my car. I spray that constantly on the floor mats so that the car has the Hero Clean scent. I really enjoy it. I mentioned that I do all my laundry in the laundry detergent and that lives in the basement. Also in the basement is the All Purpose Cleaner. I have to use that on the floor of the basement often because one of the cats gets annoyed if she doesn’t have a perfectly spotless littler box. so the floors get used. Then I have to do some cleaning and I’d much rather the floors smell like Hero Clean then the cats any day.

The other day I had to take the Hero Clean Odor Eliminating Spray into the office because someone made eggs in the microwave. That absolutely stinks. When I sprayed the Hero Clean and the people around me were impressed.
