BLACK+DECKER Pivot Vac – the Best Handheld Vacuum
I am a firm believer in teaching the kids that as part of the family they have jobs to keep our home running smoothly. Some of these job are family contributions – things they have to do simply as part of the family. Then there are things they get to do (called chores) that they do to earn money. I pay my kiddos half their age each week. So since Kayla is 5 she makes $2.50 each week and Isaac makes $3.50 ($4 in a couple of weeks when he turns 8!). In addition to collecting the shoes and putting them back at the end of the day, setting the table, and straightening the pillows on the couch each day Kayla has to vacuum the kitchen floor. To make her job easier we bought her a BLACK + DECKER Pivot Vac.
HomeRight Paint Sticks
Painting a room is probably one of my least favorite things to do when it comes to DIY projects. It is just so monotonous and usually, in my case, messy. I am always looking for ways to make it more efficient and cleaner. Of course, a high quality paint goes a long way in making it easier. However, I have found a tool that makes the rolling go faster. Painters will tell you that dipping the roller back into the rolling tray is about 1/3 of your time. What if you could eliminate the back and forth? Well HomeRight has come up with a handy dandy invention to do just that.
4 Ways to Use sugru Self-Setting Rubber {+ Giveaway}
When I got the opportunity to work with sugru I jumped at it. I love love love trying new products and that it was the coolest invention since the DVR – I know I am impressed too. The jist of this magic squishy self-setting rubber is that you form it in your hands and shape it how you need it and then let it sit for 24 hours and it turns into this grippy, soft rubber. You can use it on a zillion different things. I call it my “fix annoying things in my house” solution.
La-Z-Boy $500 Shopping Spree Giveaway
I hope you took the chance to read all about my experience(part 1 and part 2) in High Point, North Carolina when I attended the La-Z-Boy Design Dash back in October. If you missed my room reveal you can see it here. Now as a blogger for 6 1/2 years I have gotten some amazing opportunities to work with some killer brands. I have gone on brand events, met with brand executives and have gotten plenty of sneak peeks behind the company’s curtain. I can honestly say that I have never been more impressed by a company than I was with La-Z-Boy.
