You know how there are products out there that make you smack your head when you encounter them, because you wonder why you didn’t come up with it? WedgEZ is one of those products. For any mother of young children, you need one of these. What WedgEZ helps you to remove those cumbersome electrical outlet covers that we all have in our houses. I personally can tell you that I have broken more nails trying to get those things out than doing anything else! As you can see from the picture, there is a nice little grip on it for you to hold. You then put the tip of the WedgEZ between the outlet and the plastic. As you are pushing it between the two, direct the handle towards the wall. The plastic plug will then start unplugging itself. On the other side of the handle, you can see some clips that will allow you to attach this wonderful product to your vacuum cord (or any other electrical appliance for that matter). I love that since it makes it ten times harder to lose (the fact that it’s orange helps too!). In my house, Madison has nicknamed this “The Chicken”. I am not sure why, but “The Chicken” has been extremely helpful here. My nails thank me every time I am pulling out those plastic plugs.

I have a baby shower coming up at the end of May, and this is one of the products I definitely will be getting for her. This is both a great tool for my home and to give as a gift.

I decided to use Bluehost for my hosting last January because of the many great reviews from other bloggers I know. They have not disappointed me. They have this cool live chat feature that you can use to contact them 24/7. I have used this several times and walked away happy. I never once have felt that I was being read a script (though I probably was). Tonight, my site was a white screen. All of us know how that strikes terror into our hearts. I had heard wonderful things about their phone support, so I decided to call. It was about 7 PM CST, so it was definitely off hours. The first thing that impressed me was that the phone system immediately told me what number in line I was. Granted, I was number twenty, but at least I knew where I stood. While I was holding, the system would interrupt the music to tell me that number 19, 18, and so forth to talk to a customer representative that was based in the United States. Now, I don’t want to sound mean, but I hate talking to customer service people who don’t have a good command of the English language. It just annoys me. I also hate being talked to off a script. Most of the foreign customer service people do that. It is like nails down a chalkboard for me. I like only have to explain my problem once and have the person understand me. When I got my customer service representative, he spoke perfect English and had my site back up in less than 5 minutes. I forgot to even ask why it was down, because he asked me about my toilet paper post and we started talking about that. My hosting is up for renewal in January, and I know I am sticking with Bluehost. I have always been impressed by their customer service, and I am even more so now. (I have an affiliate badge in my sidebar if you want more information about their hosting packages).

We definitely need some area rugs in my living room. You may have seen what we are currently using:

Yes, that is a foam alphabet that I bought at Toys R Us. That is my new living room floor. It is quite attractive.

Abingdon Rug is definitely a place you should check out if you are in the market for an area rug like me. They have a ton of choices to pick from that will meet everyone’s tastes. Personally, I wouldn’t mind either any of these:

I saw several namebrands like Kathy Ireland and Mary Kate and Ashley. I was surprised since I no idea they even were into decorating (none of these styles are theirs). They have live help if you have any questions about the rugs too. The part I love the best: All rugs sized 8′ by 11′ or smaller are SHIPPED FREE within the continental United States! I love anything that’s free even it is only shipping! That alone can save you a bundle!

I know that I will be slipping this website to Bill while he looks for my Christmas present. If you are in the market for an area rug, I would check them out.
