I was recently sent a copy of The Military Wives' Cookbook to review just in time for Military Spouse Appreciation Day. To call this just a cookbook is a terrible understatement. There are so many amazing stories of military wives from times past and their stories of sacrifice and commitment.
The book is divided into themed sections such as "Teas and Coffees" and "Alfresco Dining" each packed with recipes that make my mouth water. Since the book arrived, I've been sick from a new pregnancy so I haven't had the chance to make any of the recipes yet but I've so enjoyed reading the stories and planning which recipes I want to make. First on my list is the Jalapeno Cheese Bread!
This is a great book that I'd recommend for anyone who has married into the military! This summer is PCS season and I know we are always looking for going away gifts for the spouse to show them our love and this would be perfect! It's also great if you are looking for door prizes for your next OSC or ESC function.

X-14 Mold and Mildew Stain Remover
I live in a house that was built in 1920. This means that our house has a ton of charm and character. However, our bathrooms were built (as additions) without proper ventilation. This means that the mold and mildew in our shower can get out of control quickly!
When Mom Central asked if I'd review X-14 Mold and Mildew Stain Remover, it happened to be on a day when I was at the end of my rope with my disgusting shower so I jumped at the chance.
My husband used it this past week on our shower and we are impressed! Our shower has a really deep grooved grout between the tiles so it did require a little scrubbing (the bottle claims no scrubbing needed) but it wasn't nearly the elbow grease that we usually have to apply to get it clean. I'll be using it again and again!
I will say one thing. Read the label! There are warnings about the strong smell of the product and the need for good ventilation and you should definitely heed those warnings! Open a window and spray it on, it's totally worth the smell!
