There is a very strange breed of people out there I like to call "vacuum connoisseurs." The term was originally created for my mother who seemed to be the first one to try out every top of the line vacuum out there. There were even a few cheap vacuums thrown in the mix, but we all eventually learned that you get what you pay for and stayed away from those $49 deals since. Funny, how even after owning her first Dyson ball, she still has ...

It’s a Blender, It’s a Food Processor, It’s a Ninja Ultima!
Now that my whole family is into smoothies, it's time to get appropriate equipment to make the most delicious and healthy shakes. I tried juicing but felt that the juicer would eliminate some of the good stuff from the fruit, which included the skin and the pulp. After seeing various commercials about the Ninja, I knew it was something I had to try out. It seemed to offer the features I needed the most, which was using the entire fruit or ...
Don’t Spread Those Germs! @Filtrete Can Help!
I was so excited when we moved to have a central heating and air system. I loved the idea of having a quiet unit and no baseboards or heaters taking up room in our home. Then it occurred to me- when one person gets sick in the house, we might all get sick because the air is circulated throughout the house. All vents lead to the main unit where the air gets redistributed. This can't be a good thing! Then my heating guy reassured me that as long ...
Shark Rocket Vacuum Review #Holiday 2013
During our moving process I purged A LOT of things, including an old bulky vacuum and a DustBuster. My husband fought tooth and nail to keep our dirty old DustBuster but I wasn't having it. It smelled. It was hard to clean. The battery lasted for 53 seconds. It was time for it to go. The vacuum we got rid of was a bagged vacuum that smelled like something was burning each time we turned it on. I needed to find something that better suited our ...
Why I love #Pledge Floor Care. #sponsored Enter to Win a Pledge Prize Pack! #Giveaway
Many people choose hardwood over carpet floors because of how easy it is to care for wood. After having wood flooring in both my apartment and my home, I can tell you this isn't true. Wood floors require special care in order to preserve the luster of the wood. You can't clean with just anything, and you have to be mindful about furniture moving around and scratching the wood. In my old apartment, I had brand new floors. In my new home I kept ...
I’m a #Pledge ambassador! #sponsored
I'm so excited to announce that I am joining Pledge and will be part of their ambassador program for the next few weeks. Since my mom always trusted Pledge on all our wood furniture growing up, I was already familiar with the brand. Once I moved out on my own, Pledge was one of the brands I used regularly to keep my almost black furniture looking fresh and new. It was only appropriate that Pledge came out with a floor care line for wood ...

I'm so excited about moving into our new home! There are so many things I love about my new home - a backyard, my own office, a room for each of my kids with extra space to expand our family, and my favorite feature of all- MY OWN BATHROOM! Yeah, I have to share with the hubby, but I'm devising a plan where he will somehow accept that the bathroom on the first floor is all his and I get the master bathroom all to myself. I'm still working on ...
When Just Clean is Not Enough! #LetsTalkBums #ad
Warning - this post might be a bit personal. There will be talks about bathrooms, toilet paper, and poop! A few months ago I was thinking- I use baby wipes to clean up my kid's bottoms, but at some point we outgrow this phase and use plain old toilet paper. My potty trained preschooler brought this to my attention - after she uses the bathroom, she prefers to still use wipes because she says she doesn't feel clean with toilet paper alone. ...
