Sudshare Review

 Disclaimer: I received a promo code to test out the service. 



I reviewed Sudshare, in exchange for honest review. Sudshare is a laundry pick-up and delivery service. I had seen similar services in the area, for the past year. 






What made me interested in Sudshare:

I have a portable washer, which is great for washing the majority of my clothes, but spinning the excess water out, is another issue. With my comforters and blankets, the water has to be squeezed out or drip dried, in the bathroom, until I can place them on my dryer racks. (I had a portable dryer, but it ran into issues, so I bought dryer racks from Wal-Mart. I was using the laundry room until the pandemic happened.)

I was reminded, a few weeks ago, by my case manager, I can use the laundry room again to wash and dry my clothes, especially blankets. Yes, I went to the store and got some cash back with a grocery order. I walked into the office to buy a new card and load it (gave the last one to my neighbor. I wasn't using it anyway). I was told by the staff, the laundry machine has no cards available and to come back in a few days, when they have more. 

I came back, a few days later, to find out the complex has no plans to re-load the laundry card machine. They are also not fixing any broken washers and dryers because the complex has been sold to the city to build a pond. Some laundry rooms have been permanently locked.  We don't have to move until October 2022, but that is still a long time to be without a washer or dryer in the complex. The complex has 700 units and at least 4 laundry rooms, within a 5 minute walk of me. What about the other residents too?

I need a way to wash my blankets and comforters. I also may need a break from laundry for the week because I am overwhelmed. Enter Sudshare. 

You can download the app and schedule someone to come pick up, wash, dry, fold, and bring back your laundry. Laundry is $1 per pound with $20 minimum. If you have a small load, you still will be charged $20. 

Comforters and puffier items are charged a bit more per item. You can only 

You also can tip the sudster, within 48 hours, who provided a valuable service. 

Next, communication. You can communicate with your Sudster, once they select your order. Communication is continued until the order is delivered. Then, you need to contact the company with any issues. 

Extra service:

You can include special instructions in the app, such as using a special detergent (must provide) or fabric softener (must provide) or hangers (must provide). 

The app is available on Google Play and the Apple Store. 

I used the service twice--one with the promo code and one with my own money. I loved both Angela and Reginald. Laundry was brought back the same day with Angela and the next day with Reginald. Since the clothes was already folded, it made it easy to put the clothes up quicker, before my kids messed over them.

Trazadone Induced Dream. 11/21/2021


I have had a lot of strange dreams since I have been taking Trazodone for sleep, for the past month or so.  Last night's dream really stood out. 

Man meets woman

A man meets a woman, who owns an apartment building, by squatting in an apartment, once occupied by her deceased son, and would not leave. He notices the apartment sign, on the sidewalk, steals the sign, and moves into the apartment. 

Fast forward to man and woman, living as a couple, on separate floors and separate beds. She slept downstairs and he slept upstairs. They was fussing from both of their beds, and his mom stepped in and asked why they always fought. The mom told the son, he shouldn't have squatted in the woman's son's apartment. 

This proceeds to a fight where the woman is telling the man, he is selfish, always thinking about his self. She shows him, her calender of things, she has to do, because he never showed any interested. She stopped placing her tasks on the family calendar because of his lack of interest. 

Making of the Band

A girl group is forming, with a girl, resembling, Nicole Byers, as the lead. The group can sing but lacks stage performance. Jenna Van Oy is the group's performance coach and trains them, while they are live on stage, in front of fans, cheering them on. Nicole #2 tries complicated dance moves, failing multiple times, and even fell into the audience. Jenna feels the live tries will make for a better band. 

Definitely will post more dreams, provided I remember them :-)

God with Us: A journey home review (Momentum Influencer Network)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 



I read God with Us, a journey home, by Jeremy Pierre, in exchange for honest review from the Momentum Influencer Network. I received a paperback copy. 

The book is also available in Kindle and Audible versions on Amazon


The book is a children's book, which teaches kids, Earth is not our home, Heaven is. The story is told from the perspective of two, unnamed, angels. The book chose not to give the angels names because the main character of the story--the book, and in real life, is Jesus. 

The book is written in a poem, like, narrative format. Each chapter focuses on a different bible story, from Genesis to Revelation. The chapters are quick reads, great for kids, who may not have the best attention spans, like my kids. 

Kalen loves books, with few words and a lot of pictures. He likes calling out things in the pictures. I can read a chapter and show him the pics before he goes back to Youtubing a kitchen skit. I can teach him about God, for those few moments.

You can purchase the book, using the link above. The book is prime-eligible.

Twin Tales: Alike and Different Book Review (iRead Book Tours)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 


I received Twin Tales, Alike and Different, in exchange for honest review from iRead Book Tours. The book was written by Brielle and Nadia Dupervi. 

My Review: 

First, the book has simple language and amazing illustrations. The book tells the story of Alexia and Denise, who are twin, African-American, girls. They love to play and they love their family, but they are not alike, they are different. They may share the same face, but they have different skills and abilities. 

As a special needs parent, I definitely understand. My kids are 20 and 10. They share five diagnoses, including severe autism, but they are so different. Each kid has their own skills and abilities. My oldest loves to eat; watch youtube; and play video games. My oldest doesn't like sour cream or corn chips, unless it is mixed into something else. He doesn't like bananas. He also doesn't eat most sweets, but he loves ice cream, sour gummies, and oreos. Brad definitely doesn't like the biscuit at Mcdonalds and Jack in the box. 

My youngest is severe autism but he is more mentally advanced, age wise. He was delayed in everything, but made significant progress over the years. When it comes to food, Kalen is more picky. He also doesn't like the biscuits at Mcdonalds and Jack in the box, but he loves chicken, fries, chips, and sweets. He loves ice cream, chocolates, some cookies. He also will play with blocks, cars, and his kitchen playset, while my oldest never really took to toys. My oldest does like simple toys like blocks and other similar stacking toys. 

You can purchase the book, in hardback or paperback, using the link above. The book is prime eligible. The book is also available on Kindle Unlimited. You can read more about Twin Tales below and check out other bloggers on the book tour. 

Thank you
