Unless I state otherwise, you can assume I received a free sample of the products that I review on this blog and, sometimes I also receive a gift certificate in exchange for writing an honest review. I've also begun writing sponsored posts here from time to time, but only for products that I personally believe in and endorse. Since I only agree to review those products I think I'll like, you'll find that most of these reviews are positive. I will, however, be honest regarding my opinions on reviews I choose to write, whether they are good or bad. Pinky swear.

I offer quite a few giveaways on this site, but if you win, your prize will be sent from the company offering it, not from my home. Consequently, I am not responsible for PR reps who mail your prize 4 months late (which happened once) or never mail it at all (which hasn't happened yet, fingers crossed).

Spooky Buddies: The Year's Most Hotly Anticipated Release (According to My Kids)

If your kids are anything like mine, they are COMPLETELY BESIDE THEMSELVES over the release of Disney's "Spooky Buddies" today on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Seriously, mine have been talking about it for weeks, particularly my 4-year-old. Those Spooky Buddies commercials are doing their job, Disney! He's managed to find all of our movies from the "Buddies" franchise and watch them in anticipation of the big release. And he asks me for the new Spooky Buddies movie AT LEAST once a day.

Fortunately, it's out now at stores everywhere, and we're going to be watching it soon to start getting in the mood for Halloween. And Disney is helping us enjoy the movie even more with these three FREE downloads in honor of the movie's release:

affresh: My Choice for Easy Stainless Steel Cleaning

As the appliances in my (built in 1990) kitchen slowly begin to crap out, we're replacing them with stainless steel versions. So far, I now have a stainless steel refrigerator, range, convection/microwave, trash can, and as of next week, oven! (It's amazing how a certain amount of years pass and everything breaks down at about the same time, isn't it?)

With all this stainless steel, I leaped at the chance to review affresh Stainless steel cleaner. I do know, after all, that stainless steel requires special care, but I wasn't all that clear at what that 'special care' actually involved.

I've been using affresh a few times a week on my stainless steel for a couple of months now and it definitely does the job.

My stainless steel appliances and accessories look brand new, and cleaning with affresh literally couldn't be easier.

Thanks, Mom Central, for letting me try it out!

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of affresh and received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
