I was recently offered an opportunity to sample some environmentally friendly cleaners and being the closet greenie that I am, I was more than happy to try them out. I was sent Earth Choice Glass Control surface cleaner and Earth Choice Allergan Control for carpet and upholstery. The first thing I noticed about the Glass [...]

Ever seen a product and thought why didn’t I think of that? That product for me was the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. The geniuses behind this invention are the same folks who made the release aluminum non-stick foil, but took it one step further by creating this liner you place in your crock pot and [...]

(NOTE: This review has been amended here) There were two surprises after my husband and I eloped last summer. The first was when I found his voter registration card, and we don’t need to talk about that here. That is what my 50 minute hour is for. The second was when I discovered the horrific [...]

When my Dyson Slim vacuum cleaner arrived, I couldn’t wait to try it out because the Dyson brand’s reputation led me to believe it would be an amazing piece of floor-cleaning technology. I wasn’t disappointed. My husband put it together and he remarked on how well engineered it was and how well the parts fit [...]

My kitchen is small and my counter space is limited, as are my cabinets. Just when you think they’ve invented every possible gadget possible you find another. I am all for convenience and accept any help in the kitchen I can get. In our house the microwave gets more use than our oven. My two [...]

My new best friend is the Dirt Devil Kone. I am probably one of millions who were attracted to this product because of its unique and futuristic design. I’ve always kept a hand-held vacuum in our kitchen to clean up the little messes from art projects, crumbs and spook-poop (our word for dust). My last [...]

Cooking and baking are acts of love in my house. A nice warm pot of jambalaya might as well be a great big bear hug and kiss on the cheek. The more I cook for you, the more you know I love you. I would love to just curl up inside my new dutch oven [...]

For the past two weeks I have been using the Wagner Wallpaper Steamer. There is a half-bath in our home that the previous owners left slathered in a dogwood infested dark red wallpaper. It had to go. As tempted as I am to write a pan for this little machine, it wouldn’t be honest. Truth [...]

Whenever a recipe calls for greasing a pan, I always use cooking spray. I also use it to spray the insides of plastic storage containers before filling them with any tomato-based sauces or leftovers. One thing I have always hated, however, is the cap on cans of cooking spray. Looks like I’m not the only [...]

One of the coolest new things I received for Christmas this year was a Yankee Candle Reed Diffuser. At first I was unsure exactly what to do with it, but after giving it a try it’s become a new favorite. You may have seen these aromatherapy oil bottles in various stores. I haven’t tried any [...]

Her name is Mabel. Okay, maybe Mabel’s not a real person, but her labels rock! Mabel’s Labels just might be the best thing since sliced bread, as they say. Developed by a group of 4 Canadian moms who were frustrated with losing their childrens’ items everywhere they went. They decided to form a business together [...]

How many cleaning products do you have under your sink? I dare you to count. If you’re number is less than five, you’re less of a sucker than I am. I’m always looking for that product to make my life easier, faster and cleaner. As a busy Mom to four kids, I don’t have a [...]
