Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Lisa — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:43:42 +0000

I picked up my Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner almost a year ago, and it’s one of the best vacuums I’ve ever owned. I personally am a bagless fan. You don’t have to worry about not having a bag on hand. If you ever wondered what your vacuum wasn’t picking up, the Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner will definitely show you. Before we switched to this vacuum, I vacuumed Will’s room with our old Hoover. I then used this and filled the entire canister. Will’s room is only 9′x11′. Crazy, I know! Not only does this vacuum work on carpet, it works great on hardwood floors too! I have used this vacuum in every room in my house. It just amazes me what it picks up. Now, I think one of the few things it can’t pick up is pretzel rods. I think I’ve tried pretty much everything too — crackers, playdoh, etc. The handle also pulls out so you can easily get up high places and even steps without too much trouble.

Now, I know that the Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner is only the pricey side. I thought the same thing. However, sometimes you have to spend money to get quality, and the Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner is definitely a quality machine.

Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner

Lisa — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:50:27 +0000

We recently were sent Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner to try out. Right now, I use several cleaners in the bathroom — one for the toilet, one for the sink, and one for the shower. My bathroom is not that big, so something that would allow me to use less products is definitely welcome in my home. That is where Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner comes in. This product can be used on everything in your bathroom. You can choose whether to have to spray foam or just spray depending on your cleaning need. (I’ll be honest — I’m a foam girl. I just used that on everything). The coolest part of this cleaner is that you can turn the bottle upside down and it still sprays! To clean the toilet, I had to turn the bottle upside down, and not one problem occurred. It sprayed just like it would right side up!

How did it clean? Excellent! Personally, I loved that I didn’t have to scrub Madison’s leftover toothpaste in the bottom of the sink. After spraying it, it came right up. The shower was just as easy as was the tub. This is definitely a product that lives up to its name. Soft Scrub Total Bath & Bowl Cleaner will be replacing my other cleaning products.

Fandangling Review and Giveaway!

Lisa — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:54:03 +0000

I have to apologize for the not so great picture of a great product that I can’t say enough about. (I tried taking it with the light on and it was way worse). See those butterflies hanging off Madison’s fan? Those are Fandanglings, and they are awesome!

The inventor of Fandangling says it best:

I invented Fandangling quite by accident. It all started with our daughter Lia. When she was born we were seeking ways to keep her happy and interested in her room. When I put the first Fandangling on the fan in her room, her eyes lit up and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, my kids (2 and 6) have always been a fan of fans, so I knew this would be a big hit in my house. It took Bill (my husband) less than 5 minutes to put it up, and that was with help from the kids. My two year old and six year old love to watch the butterflies go round and round and round. This is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” products. I can say that my kids would have loved this as babies too. They both have always been in love with fans. When Madison was a baby, we had a mobile we had to constant wind up. Can I tell you how much of a pain that was? Seriously. The mobile we bought for Will costed twice as much as a Fandangling and used a ton of batteries. I really wish this would have been around, because I would have bought several of these! My only complaint is that I wish they had more boyish designs like cars, tools, trucks, etc.

Since this is such a great product, I knew I had to pass one of these along to my great readers! Here’s what you need to do:

staSAFE sanitizer

Lisa — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:34:54 +0000

staSAFE is non-alcohol, non-toxic, all-natural hand sanitizer. It kills germs on hands for up to two hours which is much longer than traditional alcohol rubs (which pretty much stop killing germs once the alcohol evaporates). Unlike other hand sanitizer, this doesn’t dry your hands out if you use it a lot (I’m guess that is because there is no alcohol in it). I like not having to worry that my kids might ingest this. This also has not been tested on animals and doesn’t contain parabens, phthalates, formaldehydes, or steroids. It’s a high grade moisturizer, as well as a sanitizer. Who can’t use that especially with the H1N1 virus going around?

Glade Holiday Candles

Lisa — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:53:43 +0000

There are certain scents I associate with the holiday time. For example, if I smell pumpkin pie, I think Thanksgiving. If I smell pine needles, I think Christmas. Glade must know this, so they came out with some great holiday candles. Some of the yummy (and I mean yummy flavors) Glade has this year include Bayberry Spice, Homemade Gingerbread, Hollyberry Wreath, Peppermint Crush, French Vanilla, and Apple Cinnamon. There is nothing better than walking into your house and smelling gingerbread or cinnamon. It’s a great way to set the scene for some holiday parties and just enjoying the holiday overall.
