Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler Review & Giveaway
Glass baby jars everywhere I look around the kitchen and 6 or more are
added every day. I run out of places to stash them and don't take the time
to haul them to the garage every time one is empty and cleaned so
I was super excited when I got an e-mail asking to review
the new Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler! Its just what we needed!
added every day. I run out of places to stash them and don't take the time
to haul them to the garage every time one is empty and cleaned so
I was super excited when I got an e-mail asking to review
the new Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler! Its just what we needed!
I love how it easily hangs on the kitchen cabnet under the sink
so I can easily rinse each jar after they are empty and drop them into
the handy 5 gallon bag!
tops stay clean and less cluttered! After a week of use I am loving
it already so much more than I ever thought I would.
Once the bag is filled its so easy to empty! A convenient plastic
handle at the top and one sewn into the back of the bag allows
you to carry and dump the bag to where ever you store
your recyclables, its leak-proof and machine washable too!
The size is great as well. The 5 gallon soft sided bag is made from
recycled materials and holds up to 36 12-ounce cans
(or a ton of baby food glass jars!) and can even fit a full
size gallon milk/water jug! The flexible soft bag allows for give
and makes it easy to fit under cabinets.
Screws are included if you wish to make it permanent or you
can use the handy hanging brackets as we did here.
Perfect when renting (like we are at the moment) or when
you don't want to drill holes into your nice cupboards.
Would I recommend it..Sure would. I am really excited
about this cool little recycler and so happy we were given
the chance to review it!

Tiny Prints Address Labels Giveaway
If you saw the quick post a few down you know we recently moved.
With moving comes lots of updating friends and family with our
new location.
What a better way to do this then with cute personalized
address labels
from Tiny Prints. I was searching their selection and
was amazed at
how many cute styles they offered. So many fun themes,
colors and cheery
labels to stand out and let them know who its from.
Another great way to show of these cute labels are for individual
birthday
invites. I am thinking for "K"'s big birthday bash I am going
to order some of
these cute monster labels personalized with his name to help celebrate the
big day..how fun is that?! They will go perfect with his
friendly monster
theme we are planning.
We use address labels for more than just to tell the recipient of
who its from, we also love to add them to the
outside
of our movies, DVD's and video game cases so they don't
get lost
or forgotten about when the kids lend them to a friend
or family member.
I keep a bunch in my purse for when we go to
events and things
where you have to fill out entry forms with your
name, address and number..
it makes entering a breeze and you don't
have to worry about them
mis-reading your hand writing and the
chance you miss your big win!
The kids add them to books so they
can be returned if they leave them
at the park, school or elsewhere.
So many great uses for address labels!
Possibilities are endless!
Take them to family reunions and pass them out to family so they
can
easily update their address books by easily sticking it into
place. Play
dates work great too. Business type calling cards are
fun but easily get
lost or misplaced with the sticky address
labels they are easier to add
to their phone lists/books for
future references.
Stop in and see how cute they are and I am sure you will think of
all the
many reasons you wish you had a bunch on hand! Take a look
at the
Tiny Prints Address Labels page and choose a favorite design:

UTAH ONLY: Oreck Forever™ Series Gold Review and Giveaway
Time is flying by faster than I ever imagined, it really is.
My baby. He's growing up. Not only is that sad to see my last little one be not so little anymore but it also brings us to that stage I am so not ready for...
Baby proofing. I am so out of that stage. We all are.
But reality is here and we need to wake up because "K" is learning how to move! Before long he is going to be getting into everything and with all the other kids all set in their usual ways it scares me to death. Legos, money, hair, candy, beads, eraser pieces... you name it. I knew we would need a huge lifestyle change as to think about every little thing we do and be aware of what we drop, leave out etc. but it wasn't until a few days ago it really hit me we need to get on the ball and put that new lifestyle into play and outlaw legos, money and small toys anywhere near the family room we usually hang out in. As I was vacuuming the family room and getting ready to lay "K" on the floor to play I was in awe just how horrible our vacuum actually is. I knew it was bad and have wanted a new one for years just couldn't decide what one I dare spend money on and so many friends had great suggestions, yet all were different. I have put it on the back burner and I guess you could say I pretended the cheap no suction piece of junk we have was going to be fine.
Until now. New baby, crawler, mini vacuum wanna be = trouble and must needed vacuum upgrade. One that actually picks up the dirt, hair and little bits and pieces and doesn't just spit them out as you pass over it. Well someone was reading my mind little did I know and I was asked to review the sweet Oreck Forever™ Series Gold!
This mama is in heaven.
You can love a vacuum right? Because I am so loving how much easier this great machine is making my life! Why do I love the Oreck Forever™ Series Gold vacuum? Well let me tell you of its sweet features that you are sure to agree with and love too!
The cord. Yes, the cord. One of my biggest pet peeves with a vacuum is when you have to move the plug every few feet, major waste of time and so not what I want to mess with. The cord on this thing is perfect! I can keep going and get the job done much quicker and my eyes back on the baby instead of tugging and unplugging the annoying cord! 35 feet long it definitely scores some brownie points in that area for sure! The handle has a unique shape and swivel tip on the bottom that makes it easy to wrap and store the cord and allows for easy removal.
Another HUGE vacuum must is suction power, what good is a vacuum that doesn't do its job? Have I really been pretending this long it was fine? Wow, wonder what all our visitors thought when they walked in the door and saw our floor. Think I was in denial it wasn't as bad as it actually is, now its embarrassing to think I spent so much time vacuuming and it basically just left some lines, moved some dirt and particles around, picked up a little and puffed up the carpet a bit. The canister was never as full as I thought it should be. And after a quick few swipes with my Oreck I can see a huge difference and am amazed at how much it got out of our carpet. Disgusting to say the least and a huge relief to know "K" will now have someplace clean to play and learn to crawl on. I love that it gets down deep where it is really needed and not just a quick job across the surface.
The roller bar has a smartly designed brush flow that meets at a "V" to bring all the particles it picks up directly to the inlet to prevent it from being shot back out from under the vacuum and provides a more direct suction for deep down cleaning. Another great feature of the roller bar is a groove that runs along the entire dowel that makes it easy to remove any hair or string wrapped around the bar by simply swiping a razor blade along the groove. Genius.
No need to get dirty cleaning canisters either, the Oreck Forever™ Series Gold is set with a HEPA bag that captures 99.97% of all particles from your air and removing and replacing it is a breeze. I love how it seals shut when you pull it and traps all those dusty particles inside.
I have noticed the air in the room seems so much better because the Oreck doesn't leave the dusty cloud behind like my old vacuum did, great for the dusting (stays clean for more than a day) and great for the smell! (no more leaving the house smelling like a dust tornado just passed through and less sneezing while vacuuming too!)
Additional features are always a plus like the very cool side brushes that are great to swipe the hair and particles lurking around your baseboard edges. With a house full of girls you can guarantee there are pieces of hair, sometimes mini rubber hair bands and who knows what else that can make their way to the edges of the carpet. Its great these brushes can grab those as you vacuum and you don't have to go around with the hose every single time.
More awesome features include cord stops so you never have to worry about the cord being chewed up by the vacuum. (My daughter has done that before with my moms vacuum, we ended up replacing the entire cord and it was not cheap!) You also don't need to worry about that random sock under the bed you didn't see or an item of clothing being ruined when accidentally pulled into the vacuum. The roller bar stops and allows you to remove the item to prevent damage.
Another great bonus included with the Oreck Forever™ Series Gold is that it includes 3 annual tune-ups and an awesome long lasting Enduro life belt with easy access from the side panel by a simple screw.
The two speed motor/power switch is great
when you are going from carpet to tile or linoleum.
Only thing I would love added is a hose for vacuuming out the car or up in window seals, but don't worry Oreck also sells some great canister vacuums perfect for just that! Check out Oreck of Utah on Facebook and bring along all your friends because Oreck of Utah wants to give one lucky Utah follower of mine a chance to win a Oreck Forever™ Series Gold of their own!
